Amazing Questions About God From Hollywood (32)

[Music] good to be here we have uh about a week left before R Judgment Day seems like uh for some people judgment is coming early um she will be for uh also for schlomo Ben Masuda and also Gabriela but AATA judg them favor and us as well David Doris Bora and all of um we have uh coming up in a little bit of a week some people are ready because they've been getting ready for the last month some people just figuring out that it's coming up now and they have to start getting ready some people won't be ready even once the the holiday starts because they think it's a uh light holiday because it's before Yip and most people today think that uh Yip is the Judgment day but in reality is the Judgment Day R is the Judgment Day for all of creation both for Jews non-jews for the living for the dead for the animals for all of creation yum Kip is the appeal that if uh a person's judgment was not favorable Hashem gives them 10 days to do chuva 10 days to fix themselves and work on themselves extra whatever they haven't done over the last year whatever they haven't done over the last month they should do during those 10 days it's a very good idea to give a lot of before and even more before uh but if anyone wants advice from the they should give they should give anonymously or in hiding and not necessarily be one of these people that donate in public during buying alot the and letting everybody know that they could afford to buy $1,000 $10,000 or $100,000 Aliah because if a explained that if a person actually knew how much of the Merit he's wasting by showing off that he's able to donate in public when he gets up to sh he's going to cry because once the public knows that you donated the money you donated $10,000 to buy an Aliyah you Don $100,000 to buy an Aliah you donated a million dollars to buy a whole with and everything and everyone knows because it's called your name everybody knows it's you the person will arrive at shim and they realize that 99% of the reward they already got in they already got in this world that's how much Cav in this world is it's very very expensive the cavod that you get in this world takes an enormous amount of the reward in shamim and uh when a person sees how much is the real value of the 1% of the Merit that they still have left they see that they're able to get literally worlds they get worlds as a reward they start crying because those worlds that they're getting are only for the 1% that they still have left 1% % of Merit they still have left but a person that waste all of the Merit and realize that he could have gotone so much more is going to cry what is it like it's like [Music] someone someone came to a person that has a winning winning lotto ticket for $700 million but he didn't know he had the Willing dollar ticket he didn't know but he had a feeling he had a feeling he had a few few good numbers in there and his friend told him listen I also agree with you I think you have I have a feeling also you have the good numbers I have such a good feeling I'm willing to buy this ticket off of you for five grand and the guy that bought the ticket at the end of the day he doesn't know he doesn't believe he really won it's like a saf spent a dollar on a ticket I spent a dollar I'm guaranteed to get $5,000 right now or I could try my luck and wait for the numbers to come out later tonight and I get zero now all of a sudden he starts doing all the statistics what are the chances of my ticket being a winning ticket now some mathematicians did the calculation and they said that to win the grand prize the jackpot in a lotto you're more likely to get hit in the face by a plane than to win the jackpot so someone told him this he's like listen last I checked there's an airport next to my house no planes hit me for 35 years most likely if I didn't get hit by a plane I'm not going to win the lot either let me take the 5,000 he thinks he's smart now why you spent a dollar you got 5,000 if he does it every day Bill Gates will start being worried about somebody replacing him on a list of uh Forbes 500 but at 8:01 p.m. at that night he wants to commit suicide when he sees that he held the winning numbers for $700 million cash us in his hand and he gave it away for only 5,000 he wants to bury himself and give himself a funeral and not even invite his parents he's so miserable he doesn't know where to hide especially since he spent the whole day publicizing to all of his friends and his wife and his kids how smart he is look what I did look how how smart your father is I spent $1 and I got 5,000 you guys are working so hard what' you make 20 bucks an hour I made 5,000 in a minute look how smart I am and he showed up and he made a tweet on the internet and he put a Facebook and he took a picture of his friend he's like here's the sucker that just bought $5,000 ticket a dollar ticket for 5,000 for me and he put it all over the Internet and he made sure everybody knows how smart he is because oh he bought a dollar ticket he sold it for 5,000 but at 8:01 p.m. the world finds out that the guy that bought the $5,000 ticket is the biggest genius since uh who know Einstein this is the analogy for a person that donates in public a person that donates in public and he wants to buy an alad we go up to shamim one day and they're going to tell you yes you donated some money we here yeah every year no less than $10,000 every year no less than $100,000 every year no less than a million dollar everybody knew me they said exactly everybody knew you so this is the payment you have left and they give him two toothpicks here you go enjoy where's the the rest you got paid already and he wants to bury himself now what are you going to say now wait but if people don't donate in public then there's not going to be any but so if you really want to donate if your heart really cares about the donation because you're such a tadik you're such a tadik that you really really want to donate why don't you donate privately before the here you go don't tell anybody I said anything put this in the KOA give him a nice check of whatever you're going to give oh not even that you want to be a bigger sadik don't have a check a checkbook with no name on it they don't even know where it came from they don't even know where it came from you want to even be a you want to be bigger sadic Anonymous you donate with no name that's how you go up to sh with 100% but unfortunately if it wasn't for the G for the pride that people have the say there wouldn't beet because most of the reason of why we have butet why there is certain or Jewish organizations that it seems like they're building $30 million centers every year people have barely any food to eat in some places but they are building $30 million buildings in every corner just here since I moved here to Florida they built three cent $30 million each I think one no I'm sorry one of them was million $60 million Jewish organization there's kids that cannot afford to go to Yesa but they're building a $60 million Center for who for what what are you going to do with the $60 million Center how about making some Jews instead of just giving him a place to be you have to have Jews that fill these places but the reality is is that if you tell a person please donate that $110,000 you going to donate for for the you're going to get all the D all the all the show off in the betet why don't you donate that $1,000 or 5,000 or 10,000 or $220,000 to save some Jews from going to G how about that you loveash you love his children love why you donate to save them instead of to save your reputation that you're the biggest donator in the community why don't you donate the save people oh but who's going to know oh so you're not donating you're marketing you're marketing it's when when you when we do when we donate for the purpose of other people knowing that we donated then we're not donating then we're marketing now all we're doing is marketing because when I was in a business and we spent some money on marketing and one of the businesses we had towards the latter part of my career I had an International Insurance business in a matter of 6 months we build it from zero to over a thousand families which is a lot and we got customers from all over the world and one of the customers that was able to close on a deal was the embassy of Pakistan located in Germany I closed the deal at 1:30 in the morning and the reason why I was able to close the deal according to General shafik was because that was his name General shafik was because I worked at 1:30 in the morning he says nobody else works like that I'll give you the deal he signed a sixf figure deal at 1:30 in the morning but why do how do I get this shaf guy how do I get in a thousand Families how do you get him in six months marketing we made sure to put our name everywhere we spent some money on Google we spent some money on other advertising on news newpapers on phone books everywhere and anywhere that you could possibly imagine we put our name and people in a matter of a short period of time and literally a matter of a couple of months they were calling us as if we were giving stuff for free the product itself was good until the insurance company bailed on us and became pikers and didn't want to pay but the point is while it was alive and well it was fine it was a good deal but the point is that I know a little one or two things about marketing the point of marketing is to put yourself in a good position in the eyes of people it's all about perception and I always tell people that it's much easier to Market somebody else than to Market yourself for example people would always tell me yeah you you became very successful because you're the president of the company I said wrong I I was more successful when I was representing somebody else as the president it's much easier to build on somebody else's name hence the reason why kabad grew much more after the rebi died than while he was alive same thing with uh with breast they grew drastically more after RAB not while they were alive why because you're building your you've made an image of something that no one can dispute he died already he's not even a to defend himself andever he says oh he's mashia he's this he's all types of things and everybody markets this big thing this optical illusion it's all about building a perception that's what you'll see in all almost all all the ones that I've seen at least kabad synagogues kabad communities you'll see that on the the website of the kabad not the main kabad but the website of that specific Sho it almost never says anything about the rabbi of the sh it almost never even has the picture of the rabbi of the sh the rabbi of the sh may be uh great may even have uh $50 million in a bank but nobody even knows who he is unless they live there why rebi they know the rebi that's the image that kabad marketing wise genius marketing wise genius that's what built it that's what they're able to build $30 million centers every two weeks they sent out an email a year ago let them have success at least help people do CH hopefully one day but for now they send an email we want to build a new kabad center we're looking to raise $65,000 today an hour later they sent another email okay we've reached the 65,000 now it's bonus round they ended up literally raising in a matter of hours like a half a million dollars they need 60,000 why good marketing enjoy I'm not jealous it's just that hopefully use the money to help people do CH one day instead of curs me out loud in public like they did today two of them two kabad rabbis want to go and internet today they say why are you supporting a hater of such a stupid person they start cursing me in public I'm a hater of I work for free I'm a hater ofah to Cur me in public though that's mitah rabbis when your whole is dependent on people knowing that you fulfilled some type of mitvah you're not fulfilling a Mitzvah not a mitzvah it's marketing now the good news is we found out what we're doing the bad news is there's no reward for marketing in sh it's not one of the 630 Commandments nobody gets rewarded for being the best marketer in town so if you really want to donate and you really want to get the the actual reward for donating then a person would do themsel a service by donating at as privately as possible especially when it comes to bigger money and the only time that they should not only they could but they should actually donate in public is if their donation is going to encourage other people to donate meaning that Their donation is no longer just a simple donation but rather it's also an act of K it's an act of Z so for example sometimes a person is viewed by the public as a leader and anytime something big happens the community immediately looks at him what is he going to do now if he wants to play sadik and he wants to donate in private it could be aan it could be a disaster why because it looks like he's doing nothing so everybody else is going to do nothing so now yes he's going to donate a000 000 later on or $10,000 or whatever it is later on but the entire community that wanted to have a piece of the share of the the mitvah is not going to do it now why because it looks like he's not doing anything so that's why a person has to use their eayon their their their common sense to know where exactly they stand are they a leader or they not a leader do people look at them as something of an example or not the Mal says 400 years years ago that that turns into a sin and leads to a punishment is when somebody gives the only because he wants to get honor meaning the maash is telling us literally that a person who gives money for the purpose of getting cavod it's not only it's not considered a Mitzvah it's not only it's not considered a Mitzvah it's actually considered that he's one of the worst sinners in the Torah and there's novah that can come from why because to have Cav to have pride is a sin against hm there's a p in theora says it's an Abomination to hem anyone that has Pride anyone that's feel seeking honor the mar says if you're donating for the sake of showing off it's not only it's not a Mitzvah it's actually a word you consider considered according to the ma 400 years ago you considered one of the biggest sinners in the tah because you're taking something that's a mitv opportunity that somebody else had and you turn it into an Abomination at least somebody else that sadik was going to give it for the right reason he had an opportunity to do CH with that mitvah now you stole the mitvah for the sake of your but if your community depends on you and you're the and they know that if you give they're all going to follow you're going to give 10,000 everybody else going to follow up with a thousand then you have an obligation to give then you have an obligation to give then you're not giving for K but as a person needs to do before Judgment day next week a person needs to do how much do they have to give in public versus how much they give in private second thing is a person needs to only give what they're able to afford to give a lot of people make commitments to give money and they don't have the money say yeah but I have't till next not to pay that's not true you have to pay on the spot if you don't have the money you're not allowed to give you cannot give something that maybe you're going to get in 6 months from now you have to give what you have you have $1,000 give $1,000 you have 10,000 give $10,000 but don't put yourself into a hole and you bought a 10,000 20,000 $30,000 alah and then you can't pay it then you can't pay it why why is it such a tragedy because the guy that you outbid that could have bought it for 29,000 or 25,000 he actually had the money so now you're 30,000 cavod chasing ended up not only you didn't give the money but on top of it the money that the besset could have got they didn't get now on top of it the guy that needed the Mitzvah maybe would have saved his life the guy dies right now it's your fault why so a person needs to be very very careful with everything that he does these are the type of a person needs to do in their mind that's the point of M now does anybody know why started the mus movement anybody ever hear the story someone asked shom why what's isn't there enough movement there the that hated that's enough what do we need something else a m movement what do we need it for he said one time I went to a wedding I was invited to a wedding and I saw m i saw something that happened that shook me up there was a shoe maker be says there's a shoe maker that hasem gave him blessing and in a relatively short period of time the shoe maker went from being barely able to afford to buy milk once a week so all of a sudden became very very wealthy all of a sudden he has stores everywhere locations everywhere he's got money to burn he's got houses all types of things short period of time now the rich people in the community they didn't like it they didn't like this shoe maker being among them they didn't like this what they call in today's world new money they didn't like this new money being among them they they came from banking they came from medicine they came from all types of families that had generations of generations of wealth and this shoe maker is going to be among us didn't like him too much he says one time the shoe maker he had a wedding for his daughter want to wet his daughter and finally he can show off his wealth finally he can show off to all the other rich people look I'm just like you your money's green my money's green you work hard I work hard you're this I'm this I'm the same and he had a really really fancy meny waiting for his daughter nothing off the menu everything and anything you want gold chandeliers and red carpets and all of the utensils of gold and everything is fancy and the dress is fancy and the gwn and everything is fancy something the city has never seen even from the rich people but still there's a few of the rich people with all this stuff they still didn't like him so one of them decided to take off his shoe in the middle of the wedding and he said excuse me to the balab the one that's throwing a million dollar party excuse me you see my heel over here it scratched a little bit can you fix it for me how much how much does it cost to fix my heel of my shoe the Shoemaker that turned multi-millionaire was so embarrassed that he fainted so the of the said wow so you you build the whole M movement for those because of those rich people shalom M I didn't build it for them they lost cause I built it for the Sho maker I build it for the shoe maker that fainted because somebody insulted him I need to help such a person why would he ever get insulted by anybody in this world that's Flesh and Blood who does he actually think he is that he got insulted because somebody showed him a shoe him I want to help the other people that embarrassed him and public they have no share of the world to come I can't help them they're animals they're lost causes him I want to help that's Theon of AAL mus that is the accounting of someone that understands the significance of m m is not to help the animals become humans animals are going to stay animals you don't go into the zoo and convince the monkey to eat with a fork and a knife musar is to wake up to people that are looking for the truth anyway musar is for the people that are already believe they have the truth but they don't a lot of people believe they have the truth as a matter of fact almost everyone thinks they have the truth some are close some are far away m is to help us help them now one of the things that M teaches us is that we have to do accounting self accounting but about everything about every move you make for example someone thought that he was doing a big Mitzvah by waking up at 3:30 in the morning to go study a little bit before and then do so he woke up in the campus the Yesa and he made a lot of noise and on the way out right we was about to get out he stopped he sees an image doesn't sleep doesn't nothing he's over there watching him what do you say the is waiting looking at you yes because why you why why are you such a thief he's looking behind him he's looking behind woke up at 3:30 in the morning to go to study for an hour before he's ising a thief he's got the wrong guy I'm not a thief I'm I'm one of I'm one of the students here I'm not a thief I one of the students here I'm going to study for hour with with some nice to have to go looks at him he says why you such a thief again me me Thief is anybody next to you no you how come your Thief you say it obviously you're right but why am I Thief says how come you're stealing everybody's sleep with all the noise you're making how come you're stealing everybody's sleep with all the noise that you're making it's not their problem that you want to wake up early it's not their problem that you want to wake up early you want to wake up early you have to find a way to wake up early without interfering everybody else if you cannot live without interfering with everybody else you're not allowed to do it the point is is teaching us something significant you cannot not be selfish and a sadik at the same time you cannot be selfish and a sadik at the same time you cannot be aad on somebody else's somebody losing because of yourness what do you think he only rebuked little people only a few hours before before Yip is finished one of the tal of came a little late a few minutes late to everyone's doing it's praying and he comes in it's packed packed not like today it's packed after n before ped comes in there's no seats there's no nothing all you can do your best bet is to stand where where am I going to stand there's no room where do he stand right in the entrance because there's no room sees him he stops everything he goes through everyone like if he's partying the ocean targeting is talid one of the is one of the he's not like some little kid he's one of the he comes and he targets us straight at him he says Gan gav Thief starts crying hysterical he starts crying hysterical he's like no I know I know I know please tell me how I did it please I don't I don't please I know you're right I know you're right please he starts hysterical crying there's hundreds of people there he's hysterical crying his rebi just told him he's a gazan he's a thief he doesn't know what he stole he's AES but his rebi told him you're a thief he knows it's true why Reb's not going to say it for no reason so he says for please I know I'm a thief if you said it I know I'm a thief but please it's let me do CH please please do me a favor tell me how I stole is asking there's people there please tell me how I stole he doesn't know he's crying already though not like us we have to get hit in the head 15 times before we shed one tear he doesn't even know what he did he's already crying why because his Reby told me you sinned please only a couple hours left y I'm sorry I stole but just tell me what I stole so I can do Chua he says why are you stealing the air from everyone by standing in the entrance why are you standing in the entrance of the besset that because of you there's going to be less air coming into the Beet and people going to be hotter because of you what gives you the right to steal their comfort to understand what kind of you have to do in your mind to even think like this people think no you have to be big tell me no no you have to be a human being you don't need to be the biggest in the world you need to be a human being what is a human being what's Adam what is Adam Adam means that you're not an animal an animal Works off of instinct the lion sees a zebra if he's hungry he goes chasing the car if he's not hungry he says what's up and he goes back to sleep the lion will never go hunting for no reason even a cat that sees a nice delicious Mouse right in front of it if he's not hungry he's not going to kill it he's not going to kill the mouse even the snake that everything tastes to him like AAL like dust like sand he's not just going to grab anything sometimes you see animals walking next next to each other technically this this is the Predator this the prey but they walk and they're fine next to each other and people are All Amazed there's nothing amazing about it she's just not hungry there's nothing amazing about it it's not mashia mashia when mashia comes all this is going to change T says it's all going to change I'm talking about now you see there's a tiger hanging out with a little G with a little deer wow so amazing mashia no it's not mashiach the tiger is not hungry that's it that's all it means if he's hungry that deer says why he's hungry finished an animal that works off of instinct only goes and eats if it's hungry it only kills if it's hungry a human being on the other hand sometimes kills for no reason sometimes kills for fun like some people like to go hunting cuz they like killing stuff so the difference between a human being what it's supposed to be a human being and the animal is that the human being can decide what to do and when to do what to do he doesn't work off of instinct that even if he's hungry he doesn't necessarily have to go kill he could just go take some money out of his pocket and give it to somebody that already has the killed animal and cooked it into a nice little burger and he gave it to him he doesn't have to go eat something in the street he's human being he control himself so how come so many people can't control themselves the reason why is because our education today is a tragedy there's a PhD by name of Norman hair and he did a study on what does TV do to our public today day today so you know a daycare is all these parents that want to go be businessmen and business women they think they're doing a good thing by sending their kids to daycare and the mom makes money so that's important so we send the kid to daycare now if the daycare is like the normal day carees of today it's not such a great idea to send the kid to daycare why because today 70% on the average according to Norman hair PhD according to his study 70% of the day at an average daycare is spent watching television 70% three quarters of the day they're in the daycare these little kids they're watching television now sometimes people are home are watching that much also but let's see let's continue what does this mean today unfortunately 99% of us households have a television and the average household spends 6 hours and 47 minutes watching TV per day 6 hours and 47 minutes per day watching television but yet nobody has time to come to sh 7 hours a day almost watching TV they have to watch Lost and they get lost and the found and Jurassic Park and Superman and the Kryptonite all the toyot in the world they have time 7 hours a day they have time the news and Trump and the guy that wants to assassinate Trump and the guy that's going to replace Trump after he gets ass all this stuff they have time seven hours a day they have come t no it's so long it's so long the T and it's so late well you go to sleep at 9 o'clock at night anyway no what time you go to sleep ah like 1:32 so what what do you do from 9:00 till 1:30 I watch TV he has to fill up his quota seven hours a day m is eight hours sometimes now what's the big deal of watching TV by the way this is not even including internet which is even worse people that spend so much time on the internet and Facebook and YouTube and all of these websites reading the news because all of a sudden every body's a politician they want to know what happened in the news I can tell you what's going to happen in the news tomorrow and for the rest of your life a bunch of people die a bunch of people sue a bunch of people uh you know had kids a bunch of people had divorces some people bought some people sold the end for the rest of your life only thing that changes is the names only thing that changes is the names now what's so bad about watching this television or playing on the internet which is even worse than the statistics of the television that the average Child by the time he completes Elementary School still little kid by the time he he finishes ele Elementary School he has now saw 8,000 murders on TV he has seen 8,000 people get killed on television now to a kid when they tested his brain they tested his brain did studies on this he believes the murder on TV is 100% real he has the has the same impact on his neurological State of Mind same thing whether he saw somebody in front of him or it's on to be the same thing to him and he has seen 8,000 of these by time he hasn't even gone through puberty yet he hasn't even gone to puberty Elementary School 8,000 murders if that's not bad enough by the time he reaches 18 the kid now hopefully he's going to go into the real world in America he goes to college he's still a baby but in the rest of the world 18 you become a man in Israel you go to the Army in other countries as well by the time he's 18 in America he has seen over 200 ,000 violent crimes in his life on television 200,000 and then people are so surprised why there is a school shooting every week in America statistically today then people are surprised why there's so many suicidal people why there are so many sociopaths why there are so many people that are psychotic in every way shape or form so when we say in a religious world if you send your kid to public school you might as well kill the kid if you have a TV and you give the kid freedom to watch whatever he wants you might as well not have the kid you're killing him somebody came to me and he said to me about a week or two ago and he said I like you like you sh I've been watching for a year and so on and so forth I don't really believe you watching for that long because the question would have been different but anyway he says you know like I was born yesterday he knows you have a few shes that are very scary G is very scary and you know that there are little children that can watch the sh on the internet you're sure about G they can watch it on the internet you can scare them I think you should be you should watch out I think you should be careful now what's the response the correct response is what I told them not because I said it but because I verified it with my raav is that when you're trying to be a BAL mus you no longer take yourself as something you take the other person you look at the other person's perspective you put in somebody else's shoes in English it's called empathy not sympathy empathy sympathy is something that no one really wants because people just feel bad for you and you feel bad for yourself and feeling bad for yourself or having other people feel bad for you is the key to depression empathy on the other hand is when somebody can relate to you by putting themselves in your shoes they try to feel your pain by imagining themselves being in your shoes and I wanted to put myself in the shoes of the little kid that this guy was telling me about that he can Shalom see my and get really really scared by pressing play and he also told me you know in the beginning of the sh about G and some of the other sh that we have some of the videos that we have that are scary you have a warning it's a really cool voice some guy with a really cool voice says warning do this is not for everyone or whatever he says but it's like it sounds like a movie he says you know that actually makes people want to watch it even more so I want I imagine myself as a little boy for a second I had to go back a long time and I said to myself oh if I saw if I pressed play and I saw the cool warning and then I watched this guy with a beard start talking to me about G and kafak and all the punishments that happens for and all the punishments that happens for wasting seed and all the punishments that happens forat and all the punishments that happened for is what would happen to me I'd be scared I'd be very very scared but that would save my life why would it save my life and why did I tell the person's response I told him that if that Bo boy if that boy is on the internet and he presses on something Al he presses on my about the 10 11 12 year old kid 9-year-old kid sixy old kid 18y old kid whatever kid he presses on my about Al why Al why I wish and I pray for him to press it because if he is unfortunate enough to have stupid parents to give him complete freedom on the internet at his age my is the only that's going to save him from the real Gom because of course his parents are not they gave him complete free admission to go to G by tell no honey go play on the internet do what you want have fun go watch TV do what you want have fun rent movies watch whatever you want with or without nudity with or without violence go honey enjoy well you have a girlfriend now you're 13 years old enjoy my is the only thing that's going to save him he watches my because then he'll realize what kind of problem he's really in before it's too late before he's addicted to all of the sins like we became addicted sometimes when a person does and he starts emul emulating hem emulating the midot of he starts looking at the things that are around him he starts realizing that he is part of the problem he starts realizing has to fix himself and even when he tries to help other people he starts realizing hey I have to help myself I help to help them the perspective in general changes because you're not looking for all the good things you did you're looking for what needs to be fixed now in this r the the women have to understand something very very important wrote in ales two weeks ago ales number six it's in Hebrew so unless you know Hebrew you wouldn't have known she wrote a fantastic where she says that now we are at a time where we're getting closer and closer to time of Mercy times [Music] of e [Music] we start delving thinking but then all of those thoughts disappear and immediately we all start thinking about okay we have to prepare for start cooking start cleaning start cooking start cleaning and cooking and cleaning cooking cleaning cooking cleaning and finally we go to because we're thinking that all the things we cried about the whole year the husband doesn't pay attention we don't have enough P the kids a little bit half the teachers don't pay attention the IRS wants to sue us the landlord wants to kick us out all the problems we have the whole year we figure we're going to go to be and pray to hem but then the ra says we arrive at the betet and instead of praying all we're doing as soon as the prayer Begins the women start taking out the food and feeding the kids crackers and bomba and beastly just to be quiet and stop making noise but then the problem is that the other women in the Beet are making more noise than the kids so they start talking and Sh here and Sh there and said I can't shut them up so might as well join them so you start talking and they start talking and before you know it the f is finished you have to run home why you have to run home to get the food ready the food that you cooked and you cleaned and you cooked and you clean you cooked you clean and you have to run home and you ran home and then you got home and you set up the whole table because you're in a hurry CU you were in a Bessa with the kids feeding them crackers and bambba so now you set up everything by the time everybody finished two days of holiday and you cooked and you cleaned and you cooked and you cleaned and you went and you cooked and you C and you realized wait a minute I didn't pray I forgot to pray I forgot to pray what did I do I read maybe that's says whatever maybe here's the problem the women forgot according to the r the women forgot their place in the world that place in the world is not in synagogue because a woman's responsibility in Judaism in the life of Torah is to take care of the household is to take care of the children is to take care of the cooking and the cleaning they are not obligated to pray with a minan meaning they do not ever need to go to the synagogue ever including the only exception to the rule is when we talk we say the verse of amalik other than that they don't need to go to the synagogue so then you're gonna say yeah but there are certain places that say that the women has to listen to the that's aan it's not it's a Minag means a custom custom like you know for examp example is a custom for Moroccan Jews to have a mamuna after PES that's a custom meaning that if you don't have it you're not going to G not going to G in fact you may actually go to ganed for not having it because some of these munas are not exactly so Kos but hearing AAR is a for women why because it's a mitvah that depends on time woman is not obligated to go to listen to the shaar she's not obligated to go to the synagogue even more so if you actually look at what the said and why wrote to his wife don't ever leave the house and definitely don't ever go to synagogue I left you extra money so you don't have to leave the house to even buy groceries you could pay somebody to buy groceries but for sure for sure if you have to yeah you go yourself but if you but under no condition should you ever go to the synagogue he tells his wife 200 years ago why he says all that happens over there is problems and all more problems don't go the so you have no obligation to go to synagogue why go and face so many problems shalom in his own bit in his own on he didn't even have he didn't have a section for women at all ever there's no section for women no women was ever allowed there's no section why there's no obligation for to go to synagogue if is actually listen to this first and foremost half the noise at the very least of the synagogue disappears why because at least half the noise comes from the women section less people less talking the other half also Al disappears why cuz at least 30 40% more is the kids if your kid cannot stay quiet in synagogue you're not allowed to bring him you think that you're making a Mitzvah by bringing your 5-year-old kid to theet but your 5-year-old cannot sit quiet and he's interfering with other people's prayers you bringing him to the Beet is 100% a sin it's not a Mitzvah it's 100% a sin you're now stealing the prayer time in a concentration of every single person that's bothered by it every two seconds you want to give him bmai and beastley and candy so he could shut up leave him home with the bambba you're not teaching him anything that way you're teaching him that the uh that the synagogue is a cafeteria all of these parents that bring their kids with bomai and beastly and bomba and beastly and chocolate just so they could be quiet and play outside keep them outside keep him home don't bring him to the Sho there's no there's no mitvah there the kids turn the synagogue into a playground they run outside when it gets outside it's boring they go inside and it's distracting to other people it's not a Mitzvah it's a sin you're stealing now other people's prayer somebody is now crying because he had a death in the family his heart is broken he's trying to pray to Hashem and all of a sudden this little seven-year-old kid throws something and it happens to hit him in the head now the guy is already crying about his miserable life and what's happening in his life and now he has to deal with your kid why is it his fault you can't manage your kid why does he have to suffer double because of you you know you have to pay that Dean in sh so all of those people that want to bring their kids you could only bring your child if your child is one of those kids that literally just sits there and it's quiet and can stay quiet for hours if not you can't bring him train them at home before you bring them don't train them on other people's account and when wom you have no business being in the Sho this has nothing to do with being a sexist this is was written by a woman by raan why because your mitvah in Judaism is to take care of the house how you going to take care of the house if you're in SHO now what about prayer you're going to say how I'm going to pray show me one woman one woman that prays better in sh than she prays at home when she's by herself every single woman prays better at home by herself and she prays in sh every single one why because in sh she has samanta and and and Steve and and and Wilma and uh and and Tabitha and all of these people I'm just making up names none of them are actually Jewish I can't make fun of Jewish people but the reality is she's making she's has all these people I want to talk to her where have you been how come you don't come to my house for coffee how are the kids how is your husband oh you're still with the same guy oh you're the one with the new car oh you doing extension to the house and the whole time the CH she never gets time to pray anyway sh she never gets time to pray anyway in sh at home nobody bothers her the kids make noise anyway she goes to the corner for 10 20 minutes she prays to hm she cries her heart out she sees miracles in her life but no no I have to go to why do you have to go to B why do you have to go to besset it has nothing to do with prayer only reason you go to bezar because you want to show off your new dress you want to chitchat with your girlfriend that you haven't seen all year oh so don't don't don't be surprised when all your prayers go to the garbage pil of sh you know like the computer has a garbage pil you press delete and it goes to garbage pil sometimes our prayers how go to a garbage pil why because you didn't come for the prayer you didn't come for the prayer you came to see her you came to see what dress she's going to wear this year cuz last year your dress was nicer you want to make sure that your dress is still nicer this year last year she gained weight this year you gained weight you want to see this last year she was married this year you're married all the things you show up show and tell oh you didn't come for AEM so when you're when when Hashem press delete on your prayer and it goes to the garbage fa of Heaven don't be don't complain to Hashem while you went another year without being married why you went another year with no parasa why you went another year where your husband that can't stand you another year passed and nothing no no no prayers got accepted why because you came to show off your dress every single one of us has to do what's the point of what I'm doing what's the point why am I doing what I'm doing if I'm learning all year and I'm still the same cow that I was a year ago what did I learn then if a year has passed and I'm the same thing as what I was last year what's the point the Torah the Torah is something extraordinary it's magical it's elevating it's the ultimate of everything that's any good in the world meaning that another year of Torah is supposed to put you in such an elevated level that you cannot even recognize yourself a year ago like that's me wow what a miracle happened what do you mean I became a human being and a year later it's like wow that was me last year wow thank God that God let me live another year because I became a human being every year you see yourself in a p like I can't believe I survive being like this why because you add another year of to to your life to is life to ises once you have it you can't believe you survive without it but that means if a year has passed and and you've been learning all this year you go to sh here and there you watch a here and there but overall you're the same person something's wrong something is terribly wrong something is terribly wrong you haven't done enough self- accounting on results Torah is not a business business you can analyze things pretty quickly within a few weeks you realize whether your products are hit or not within a few weeks you realize whether this guy is going to St stay part of your team or not some people that you hire you realize within five minutes this guy is not going to be part of the team why he's not a team player he already asked you about an advance that he want Advance on his check he's not even there three days some people are not team players you can't have them on your team if they're not team players so in business you can analyze certain things pretty quickly in Tora you can't really anal them pretty quickly you need a little bit of time but not that much time you don't need years you need a little time you need to review things after a year if there hasn't been enough Tor that's going to change you from year to year there's something wrong with your learning it's part of the we need to do why you have to commit another year why should hasm give you another year what to continue being a cow for another year he has cows doesn't need another one what is he going to have you for what what are you going to do with this Torah and that's what happens a lot people go to for 20 years nothing changes you see people go to be 20 years nothing changes I met this couple in New York they said they went to AET for over 20 years they still didn't keep Shabbat I don't understand how could you be a like I don't know if you can call such a person a rabbi or a terrorist I don't SLE I don't understand how do you have somebody attending your Sho for years 20 years you see the same face you never thought for a second to say by the way every single second you're alive is M you won the lotto 5050 chance you're not going to make it out the door why hasem say he's gon to kill you you didn't think about it for a second that the guy is donating to your Sho attending your sh doing all these different things you never thought for a second maybe I should tell him maybe like by the way you should keep Shabbat doesn't kill you never thought for a second I mean did the heart that you have was the heart like left in the factory I don't understand I don't understand people like this but unfortunately that's what happens when Judaism becomes a business they forget about Judaism you cannot do business and Judaism at the same time it's not possible it's one or the other and that's why that we just completed the scary scary par hasem tells us to be anula a supreme Nation that's over all of the other nations meaning don't be like everybody else be better than them you're expected to do better than them to be to be above and beyond all of the treasured people that that's above and beyond all of the why because because you're keeping all of the and keeping all of those MIT is what's going to make you kados an kados but then he has all of am gathered together and he has half the tribes on one mountain and another half on another Mountain he says this is the deal one half we'll talk about the curses and one house one half we'll talk about the blessings meaning that the two come together there's no one or the other the two come together it's a package deal if you're kados you get blessings if not you get curses meaning there's no such thing as a neutral state of spirituality with hasem there's no neutral and all of has to agree to each and every single one of these things when Hashem says a cursed is the man who will make a grave in a molten image an abomination of hem meaning some type of idolatry or even an image of an idolatry for example there are four different images that a Jew is not allowed to have in their home a full image of an eagle meaning a carved image not a picture a picture they're allowed to have they shouldn't but allowed to have but a sculpture of an eagle they're not allowed to have a sculpture of a bull they're not allowed to have a sculpture of a lion they're not allowed to have and a sculpture of a human being they're not allowed to have even if any one of them is supposedly supposed to represent some type of Kusa and not allowed to have it as a Jew and the reason why is because these four Images are the four images on and a person that has anything that's some form of idolatry or an image or something like it Tora says he gets cursed and then all of the nation says in millions of people says am in the last curse it says a cursed is the one who will not uphold the words of Torah to perform them and the entire people shall say Amen say what do you mean it's the entire T it says somebody doesn't fulfill one mvah is cursed yes but not [Applause] because he forgot not because he made a mistake he's not cursed if he made a mistake that's called chig accidental not because he forgot that's also a mistake not because he ran into the light and he turned on the light or the fire on Shabbat by accident that's not even a sin he fell but the curse comes to a person who simply decides this mitvah I'm not going to keep it this one it's not for me Mother's thing yeah it's for other people once I get married and I have kids and grandkids and I'm old and frail and have even wrinkles in my in my ears then I'll wear you know whatever sack you want me to wear but for now I'm young I'm attractive I'm barely 20 I want the guys to say you know a few things to me when they see me to remember me for the rest of their life even in Gom when hasm burns them for looking at me I want them to remember it's because of me cuz I'll be right next to them I won't look the same I'll be in fire also I want to be attractive I want to see I want people to look at me when the few soldiers did a seance and they and they brought benon benon told the uh the people that were having the Seance not to move one of them moved and got up and he got offended by it and he told you now because you got up and I told you not to you can't be here go to the bathroom started seeing things move in the house it took him seriously he went into the bathroom but then they heard a big bang they ran into the bathroom they saw he passed out they went back to the Ouija board and they asked him uh what happened he said he saw me says what do you mean he saw saw you said he saw what I look like he says Are You That Hideous looking that he passed out he says after being burned in so much I've lost all resemblance of a person people that think they can walk around immodest or look at things that are immodest and think that it's no big deal in sham should learn about it don't take my word for it learn about it learn what it means in sh even knew that hates IM modesty so when a person simply decides this Mitzvah is not for me all of says he's cursed now if he didn't know if he made a mistake it's different story it's a sin nonetheless but it's not a purposeful sin a purposeful sin is when he simply decides to do it what is it like explains that if somebody has a k somebody has an organization and he simply decides to actively lie to people to tell them there's no such thing as Gom or that GOM is like a little bit of embarrassment before you go to ganeden because all of is go to GED or there's no real punishment cuz How could a father punish his own children and he says all types of St like this he's cursed has been doing for maybe five six decades he doesn't see falsehood he only sees AIT the stuff that he says makes me look like a puppy one time they invite him they invited him to say a t at a funeral young kid mcin died 18 19 year old kid died they want to see Tora at his funeral they invited a famous rabi in Israel Robi comes to the funeral he sees the vast majority of the people there are not exactly now right now everybody's crying hysterical 18y old baby just died they're crying hysterical it's not a a time talk about uh you know being uh every life is strawberries kid just died he's 18 19 years old little babyi looks at them he looks at them and he talks like this he looks he gets closer you see his lectures it's in Hebrew he gets closer he goes you you see him he's dead you are going to be like him if you just like him right there and then the people are crying hysterical and he's reminding them of the truth in this moment why because he doesn't know if he's ever going to see them again and the is the only option one time there was a event they invited him and after he spoke for a while giving the people on their head some little teddy bear uh Rabbi went after him and started telling everybody no all these rabbis they scare people that's not the way for this generation k all of have a share of the world to come everyone's righteous no one is like you God loves all of you you're very special and hasem loves you as you are and he goes he goes and he finishes and after he finishes his he gets off the stage ofi comes up to him he's old man M I feel like he knows knows Moses you see him you see he's an old man but he fire he comes up he goes you what's your name little teddy bear all of a sudden doesn't want to be teddy bear says barely says his name you you see what you did if anybody here had even a thought of doing chuva because of the things we've been saying here for the last few hours if anybody here thought maybe they have to fix themselves you ruined it with your with your lies so all of them going to G is on you the guy wanted to bury himself say kadish on himself bury himself not even inviting his mother why he can't defend himself he knows he's a liar that's the truth the teddy bear rabbis can never ever debate a real Rabbi the teddy bear rabbis can never debate a real Rabbi because there's no source for their there is no Source now anyone say y but don't worry we got something being prepared for you guys and coming soon after the holidays what you guys are G to become each one of you are going to become together I'm going to teach you real what the really said not the they teach you today what the what the said what the B said the father of you're scarier than me you guys think always say is scary all scary do you know why because life is scary because the Torah is scary you look at this week's parad that we just completed look what hasem said look what hasem said he said if we don't do what he says we're going to get to such a horrible level such a horrible level that we're going to get to starvation where people going to eat their children he says that we're going to get to such a horrible LEL this is aot this is not some commentary this is what it says he says that a person can get to such a low level that he'll have a disease with no cure now everyone all automatically says oh AIDS no it doesn't necessarily need to be AIDS oh cancer no it doesn't necessar need to be cancer it's plenty of things you can have with no cure and have a miserable awful life where you're waiting to die you can call it depression you can call it hemorrhoids you can call it stomach problems you can call it nerve pain he called plenty of wonderful things that hem has in store for the who don't want to do Chua now why do we say all of these horrible things to scare you to death right now before because I'm scared I'm scared for me and I'm scared for you I'm scared because had a student Blazer Shalom and Blazer writes in is he writes here that something that we've learned together before but it needs to be apparently we read it again we have to learn it again the r says chapter 6 verse three that there are three three types of circumstances one a person where hasem desires for him to do cha you've come here a few times one Gil two Gil Three G 10 Gul whatever it is since Mount sa it's been over 3,300 years if you're still here that means you've been messing up like me and it's time we do Chua finally Hashem has been waiting for 3,000 years he's been waiting enough but yet Hashem in his Mercy desires your chuva desires your that's stage one two two hem doesn't desire cha doesn't want it cares Les you do it don't do it he's not going to help you horrible place to be in the rambam writes there's 24 different types of sins which we went over some months ago that a person can do where if he makes those sins Shem is not interested in Chu not not interested in a sense that he'll stop it but not interested in a sense that he's not going to help you you want to do chuva you're on your own and anyone that knows how difficult Chua is you need as much help as you can get to stop looking where you're not allowed to look to stop eating the things that you're not allowed to eat especially when you're addicted to food to stop stealing when your whole business is stealing and so on and so forth hard to do chba sometimes but then there's the worst stage he's not going to let you do cha and that the rambam says is the worst punishment of all the first stage first stage hem wants our chem desires our ch how do we know if hasem desires our chuva the fact that you're thinking about doing chuva already good sign the fact that you're thinking about doing Chua already fantastic sign that hasem wants your Chua why he instill the thought in your head you should start feeling bad about the things you made the skirt A Little Too Short The Wig a little too long the uh the the people you're with not such kosher people the business you're in not the best this that start feeling there's something wrong in my life I got to fix stuff good news why that mean hasem is talking to you you feel that there's something wrong you feel like the F the fish starts smelling from the top you feel the wrong in your life can save your the fact that you're thinking about doing CH already shows AEM wants your Chua you're in good shape you came to you at 10:00 11:00 at night on a Sunday good sign why you're getting it on the head and you're not walking out that means AEM not only wants your chuv that means you're capable of doing it stage two ban is a person that doesn't want their cha why they became they caused other people to sin they were a missionary they told people to go drive on Shabbat together with them to go to the movies they walked to a woman that walked around IM modestly after she knows she's not allowed to walk around IM modestly but she liked the way guys look at her and talk to her she knows it's not allowed but she still does it a guy opens a non kosher restaurant and he says it's kosher because he wants to save 50% 60% on the meat and so on and so forth somebody like that hasm doesn't help them do Chua but if one day They smash their head against the wall and they wake up and they realize you know what what kind of mess I got myself into my wife hates me my husband hates me the kids hate me the B everybody hates me hem hates me even why I'm rash I have to fix myself before it's too late before my I'm destroyed here but hopefully I could uh fix something before I'm destroyed forever Hashem says you want to do Chua fine no problem I'll take you but I'm not going to help you not gonna help you could do it no problem cha is always open but I'm not going to help you very very dangerous level Unfortunately today there are many people in that class but the last class is the one that I'm talking about that's the scariest of all and all is says that these people get to a point where it's possible that a man will commit severe transgression until judgment demands that the punishment for the sins which the sin of uh willfully and knowledgeably committed will be that he prevented he be prevented from repentance a person can make in so many words such a sin that hasem says you punishment you're only going to get one in this world I'm leaving the rest for what punishment I give you take money no I'll give you more money house I'll give you more house wife I'll give you five wives you get married every year kids you'll have a kid with every girl that you look at no problem so what's the punishment the punishment is you'll never think about doing chuva you live 60 70 80 years in this world never even contemplating never even contemplating doing chuva this RAB all that this is the biggest worst punishment of all because a person can literally live 70 80 years without a clue the disaster is near here they could suffer their entire life in this world because life is suffering it's not always Pleasant there's ups and downs in everybody's life and everyone suffers everyone has hardship whether you're religious or not religious you have hardship if you're alive you have hardship that's life anyone that complains about hardship simply doesn't know what the purpose of life is yet so what's the difference what's the benefit of being religious being religious meaning by filling the means that you now have found a reason for why you have hardship by being religious and fulfilling you have now given your hardship a purpose they have a value they have a price you know that every single time you suffer it counts to a certain amount of Merit that you'll have in sh it counts to a certain amount of punishment that's being forgiven for you here and so on and so forth there's a certain value to them that you suffer now for 10 minutes or 10 hours or 10 days but that could be replacing 10,000 years when a person truly understands what the ramban wrote in the the the preface of of the Book of Job where he says that 70 years of the life of Job the suffering of the life of job is not equivalent to even an hour of gayn he wasn't talking about a gay where people make fun of you he wasn't talking about a gay that was a uh just full of embarrassment he was talking about a Gom that's full of fire in much more detail that I gave you guys in is and he says 70 years of that 7even years of the life of Job that suffered non-stop for a year is not equivalent to even an hour of Gom with that fire so a person that understands and and wraps their hand around us to have some type of concept of what a punishment really is he realized wait a minute I suffered for 10 days but instead of 10,000 years in that fire that's a pretty good deal thank youm give me moreit a person if he understood the say if a person understood the value of their suffering in this world they'd start praying for them like you pray for p they pray for for for for for these types of uh punishments now we're not at that level don't become a superhero and start praying for suffering because the reality is unless you're an expert in being happy with your existing suffering don't pray for suffering don't be a superhero if you cry because you don't have enough money in your pocket or in the bank account don't pray for suffering because you have no idea what suffering is yet suffering means you see your kids and they don't have any food and you have no way to give it to them and you have no way of understanding of when you're going to be able to give it to them try that as suffering like the people in Venezuela that's suffering if you can't handle that don't pray for suffering don't be a superhero said don't be overly righteous some people said should I pray for suffering I said what kind of suffering have you seen so far oh nothing so much said don't pray for suffering don't worry's going to give you anyway once you're an expert in your existing suffering then we'll check we'll evaluate whether you should pray for suffering or not reality is most people in this generation handle your own suffering with a smile then we'll talk but the reality is is when a person sees that they suffering and understands that they're suffering have a very very big value in sham now their suffering at least has a purpose it's not fun it's never enjoyable to have pain and suffering but at least you know they have a purpose when a purpose when a person does not have a purpose for their suffering then their life is just simply miserable regardless of whether their bank account is full of money or not their life is simply miserable because their life is purposeless they have suffering like everyone else but they feel like their suffering has no purpose just purely punishment just purely torture and they feel that they're being tortured day and night and that's because they don't understand that their suffering has a purpose their suffering is a form of communication from Hashem to them one reason that Hashem gives us suffering is for sins another reason that gives us suffering is because he's trying to communicate with us to change to change when you change your suffering either stops or changes but if you've had the same suffering for an extended period of time that's only because you haven't changed you haven't passed test but the point is is that a person can go through this suffering and never know what I just told you imagine you live 70 80 years thinking that your purpose and the purpose of a lion and a cow are the same thing you live your life and you do what you do and you eat when you're hungry and you go to the bathroom when you have to go and you get married a few times in between and you bring a few other miserable souls to the world to have the same miserable life like you and they have no purpose and you have no purpose and everyone's waiting for you to die because they want your money that you worked really hard for and they care less about whether you die they just care about whether you put them in the will and as soon as you die they all celebrate because now they finally get to celebrate your money and now you finally died and you show to sh you get the surprise of a lifetime the cow actually fulfilled its purpose and you didn't you show up to sh and they tell you just waited 70 80 990 years in the world and not only have you achieved nothing for your purpose but you're not going to get punished for all of it this is a scary thought and the reason why it's a scary thought is because hem does not forgive in sh anyone that says that hem is just going to let go of sins in sh gets an extra punishment in sh and the reality is is this is the reason why we get R every year we get R every year because no one can say how come you didn't send me any reminders because if we all had to pay the bill at one shot none of us could afford it but a Hashem sent us a reminder to give a down payment every year it's called R so we show up to sh say listen AEM I understand I made all these a I made all these sins you're right you're showing me on on a screen I made all these things I can't deny that I made all these sins but how come you didn't come to me earlier Hashem says what do you mean I didn't come to you I came to you every year I came to you every year every year had an opportunity to do chva stop wearing short skirts stop wearing the long wig that reaches the floor stop stealing from your customers stop worshiping an idol even if he's a rabbi shop stop doing things that are against theem every year told you the fact that you didn't listen it's not my fault they gave you 7 years to listen these are the things we all have to consider now before so when we arrive at we're coming to Hashem with something we're coming to Hashem with something Hashem I get it I wasn't great like I should be but first and foremost I acknowledge it I acknowledge I have to do Chua show me where I sinned you know how you sinned and you're going to do CH for those things but you ask show me something else that maybe I didn't see like that for you say I stole you're right I don't know when I stole but obviously if you said it it's right show me where I sinned why if I'm still miserable in my heart that means my knows I'm still doing something wrong that means the is telling me I still haven't done CH because every day then goes up to sh and tells on me it says hem he still didn't do Chua hem he still didn't do Chua and it comes back and it's miserable again the why because it says he didn't do cha yesterday he didn't do cha the day before he didn't do CH who say G do cha today the is already miserable that's why it's time for us to do TR that's what we have for so this take these next few days to start thinking about what have I done wrong in this last year what am I going to take on myself to do right in this coming year do a little bit of because that's the only way that change is going to happen change doesn't happen by itself change has to start with you it's like igniting a fire you ignite the fire yes sure do you acknowledge the wrong that you've done yes sureem your desire to change hasem helps but if we come there and the only thing we're worried about is how people look at us and how people view us and what their perspective of us is and if I really look like a sadik because of the way I pray and how I move and if my talit is perfectly aligned with my forehead and if I donated enough money and if everyone heard that I'm the guy that donated because a lot of people and you know sometimes you get lost in the crowd CU it's not a big enough donation and not everybody said wow and oo you have to come to theet with already a mission you also have to communicate to your wives your mitvah is to take care of the kids in the house and give her the feeling that she is doing something that's just as big if not bigger than you as a man going to Sho but if you give your wife the feeling that you're the one that's going to pray for the family and she's just this lowly person that's at home cooking and cleaning then obviously our entire problem is you not the not not going to the sh I understand why she goes to the sh who can rely on such a person who even says your prayer gets accepted with such an attitude you have to make sure that your wives understand she's a queen and that's her job her job is to be Queen in the castle not the queen in the outside and that's very very important once you give the wife a good feeling then she wants to do her job but a wife that doesn't want to do her job is because she doesn't feel appreciated she doesn't feel appreciated why is she going to do it people only do things they feel appreciated so this is just a little bit of a warmup hopefully for you guys to get some idea of what to do over these next few days we have another sh on Tuesday but now you guys can ask any questions you have how would want start that was intro no go ahead person suffers because of their okay what if a person is a s and he receives a lot of suffering like Joel you said suffered 70 years in this world why didn't suffer 7 years suffered one year job suffered for one year but the ramban said that even if somebody had job suffering for 70 years not one year 70 years it still wouldn't be equivalent to one hour of G job suffered for one year not for seven years but the suffering was so great over that one year that they wrote a whole book about it in the Torah it became one of the 24 books of the tanak and the rambam magnifies it and puts Gom in perspective without even giving you the details of what happens in Gom by telling you that look at job that suffered one year and there's a whole book in the toah written about it if we suffer 70 years like him 70 years it's still not equivalent to one hour of gay this puts without even giving the details of the Hot Fire or the cold know all the details of each part and part of the game no without even giving all those details this puts all of these carebear rabbis that say that there's no fire in gay this puts them in the garbage pail with the rest of what they say why because what they say is T that's what told Rabbi he told them you taught everybody everything you said is T you call me T I made a sin listening to you I made a sin listening to the out of your mouth it's all lies it's all so the reality is is that the most important lesson that a person needs to know is there's a foundation to the tah Foundation of tah is reward and Punishment you need to know there's a reward you need to know there's a punishment if hasem didn't want us to know about the punishment he wouldn't have written he wouldn't written it wouldn't written first kind sined AEM punished them no the world sin Hashem destroyed them the time of Abu Sodom and gomorah he destroyed them asav he punished them and so and Tower of Babel Hashem destroyed them and so on and so forth you see throughout the entire Torah from the beginning of the Torah all the way to the end you see that there is constant punishment literally in every single par there's a punishment in every par why because the King of Kings the master of all Masters The KES kesu he decided you have to know it he decided the only way you're going to know how to serve me is if you know about punishment if you're scared of me if you're not scared of me you're never going going to learn about me if you're not going to learn about me you're not going to know what to do and then you're going to be like everybody else and that's why it's critical to know that everything has a purpose there is a reward there is a punishment but we need to know both and a person that suffers a form of punishment in this world that means that they have sinned there's no such thing as suffering without sin they may have sinned in this life they may have sinned in a previous life but and there's no such thing as a there's no such thing as a person that's righteous that doesn't sin everybody sins but the says that if a person sees suffering and he doesn't know what he did he should look and review his own actions and if he looked at his own actions and didn't find anything he should say it's b t t meaning t meaning he wasted time instead of learning t he wasted time so you ask yourself what's the big deal okay so you waste a little time what's the big deal the big deal is that hem nearly destroyed all of because they didn't learn t for a few hours at the time of yeshu Hashem sent an angel to Yeshua benon and Yeshua benon said are you with us or against us and the angel said I'm here as a messenger of Hashem and he took out his sword he goes why you punishing us you asked him why you punishing us he punishing us because of some we didn't pray or what what do we do he says I'm punishing you because you didn't learn Tor says yeah but we just uh we had a war in the morning says yes the war was in the morning but at night you were supposed to learn they're in the middle of a war doesn't make a difference you're still obligated to learn toah so the fact that you learn Tor is considered Tor and and hasem sent the to nearly kill all of because they didn't learn for a few hours so imagine a person that has suffering and he says oh how come I have suffering well you studied all day you studied all night so of course everybody has their own reasons I don't know I don't know why hasem punishes each and every single person but I can assure you that if you have certain pain in your body or you have certain pain in your life there is a verse in the t That'll tell you exactly why you're suffering why you're suffering yes in the backc all right so the uh easiest thing for a person to do is to blame other people for their suffering I had a guy nice student of mine sadik but he was confused a little bit and uh reason why is because he uh had some issues in his life recently he said maybe it's because my wife is a b cha maybe it's because my wife is a b cha and uh she wasn't exactly Mrs modest before I met her she wasn't exactly if you get to know what I mean so maybe that's why I'm suffering because of my wife EXP explain to him same answer that you have as well there's no suffering without your sin not somebody else's sin the only time a person suffers for somebody else's sin Tora says is if they continue the sin of their ancestors if a child is born into end into parents that are sinners that are Kim that are Heretics that are idolators but that son that daughter do Chu and she keeps Shabbat she's not an idol worshipper she does good promises in a Tora their sin is not connected to you but if the daughter or the son continues the sins of the parents their punishment is double they get the punishment for themselves and they also get the punishment from their ancestors for not learning that what their ancestors did was wrong because no one that was an idolator ever had a happy life no one that was an idolator was ever a prime example of a good life not a single person on Earth you can't say oh this guy what a great life once you delve into people's lives that are Idol worshippers that are Heretics that are secular that are against theem you cannot find a single character that had what you would call a Define has a good life every single one of them had a tragic story one more tragic than the other whether you want to go to uh the the the so-called famous people of the world or the people that are just Your Average Joe's of the world every single one of them has a more tragic story than the next so a person that saw these lives closeand firsthand he saw that was his father that was his uncle that was his uh grandfather whoever it was and still didn't use that example to change that's why they get double punished yes how come Chans again Christians they'll tell you that that they're a lot happier like you said idolators don't have good lives they don't these Christians it's idolatry yes how come a lot of them will tell you they feel that ever since they became a Christian they they feel really good or they feel happy words don't cost anything my father God bless him he said always told me even as a kid now remember this for the rest of my life he says you know why people talk so much because words are free words are free people say a lot of things because it's free to talk people make what's called empty promises where they tell you what you need a ride anytime you need something call me the one time in your life you called him it's a busy he's busy he's not there he doesn't know who you are what happened you told me anything I need you you you got my back yeah I didn't actually think you're going to call me why does he promise because it looks good it sounds good to promise I'm going to do you a favor I'm going to do you a Sal anything you need 5,000 10,000 Tom me 10 100,000 on me you're my best guy you know my people promised me money when I didn't need money when I had plenty of money to burn had a guy tell me listen you I trust you anything you need you ever you ever need anything call me at that time I didn't need anything one day I needed something and I'm not a person that likes to ask for help I think it count in one hand how many people have ask for help in my life seriously I'm not a person that likes to ask for help I actually dread it it's uh it's very very painful for me to ask for help for anything count consider it whatever you want to consider it whether it's because I'm prideful or because I just don't like to depend on people or because people just naturally will let you down point is I don't like to do it couple of times I did and every single time without failure I regretted it and wished I could bury myself one time I called this guy that told me anything you need I trust you anything you need uh I said okay listen one time I needed him I need him to save my house now the guy I know how much money he has well I used to be my client and also I was on a board that evaluated his company he asked me for help to evaluate his company I evaluated his company gave him some advice for free and so on his company at the time was making $140 million a year so he had a few shekels so when I came to him and I asked them you think maybe you could lend me a couple $1,000 I could save my house and then after you save my house I'll put the whole house in collateral for you as soon as I sell the house I'll give you double the money sound like you know not do me a favor you're making an investment ah yeah you know it's really going to distract a lot of the other things that I needed this guy used to burn $100,000 just to go to the airport I called another friend also told me anything you ever need got you can you help me save my house ah yeah you know you have anybody else no I'm calling you because I have nothing to do with myself point is people say they're going to help you because words don't cost anything people say they're happy because words don't cost anything people do all they do because words don't cost anything so a person can tell you I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy but happiness is not something you can just say happiness is a permanent status it's a permanent state of mind you just are if you're happy you don't have to tell anybody you're happy they just know no cuz you walk around with a smile all the time you could see the person's on fire but a good one you see the person's happy they don't need to justify that they're happy they don't need to prove that they're happy they're simply happy because they have a purpose in their life they have a mission they're not clowns they're not walking around giving jokes to people but the point is you could see this person he's good he's got it going he's got something he's a secret to him but these people I tell you they're happy yeah they're happy with their fifth marriage they're happy with the two kids that are just got out of rehab they're happy that the IRS just dropped half the lawsuits against them they happy a lot of nonsense all fake it's all fake so reality is happiness is a spiritual feeling you cannot attain it without tah so if you have the opposite of Torah which is idolatry it is impossible for you to attain happiness you could say You're Happy from here until you're blw in the face mean nothing once you go and you put people on under the microscope you see that they're as far from happy as possible in fact the people that say that they're happy Ley are the least happy they're the ones that usually commit suicide because everyone one day realizes that the king is naked you guys know the story about the king being naked you guys heard about the story one time the king wanted to get a special suit and he asked all of the special tailor to come and he commanded them he listen each one of you have to give me his best suit possible best best best whoever fails to give it to me I'm going to kill them so each one of the tailor went got special Fabrics got this got that each one worked several months to bring it eventually the day came and each one presented their suit first guy brought silk second one brought wool third one cotton and so on and so forth eventually one guy brought nothing and the King says you didn't bring anything goes no of course I brought something come on your honor you think I you're the king your highness you I I pray to you every day oh so what' you bring I have it with me but it's so special that only your highness can see how special it is with special eyes that you have oh really yeah this is something I got from not such an easy place okay they go into the dressing room and the King comes out naked but he's all happy and he looks himself in the mirror and he's wow what I don't even feel like it's on I don't even feel like it's on it's so comfortable I feel feel like wow I feel like a baby is great what a suit you got the prize this year like oh you know what we're going to celebrate we're going to celebrate in front of all the people and everyone lines up outside outside of his balcony thousands and thousands of people outside of his balcony and say we're now going to celebrate the winning suit the winning suit of the king all of the contestants around the world came and they brought these suits but there was one that won and the King comes out with his birthday suit he comes out naked and everybody's like wow call a Cav call Cav everybody like yeah yeah King your highness you're the best you're the best you're the best wow wow wow wow and everybody's like wow what a suit what a suit and the king is all happy and then it gets all quiet and a little six-year-old boy says imma the king's naked and all of a sudden the king realizes he's naked realizes there's no suit so how come nobody else said anything how come nobody else said anything because they're all scared of their own shadow they're all sheep everyone else said why if he's not saying something there must be something there there must be a suit I just can't see it so I don't want to admit that I don't know I don't want to admit that I'm the only one that doesn't see it cuz everyone look there there thousands of people everybody's clapping everybody's clapping everybody's donating everybody's doing something I'm not going to be the one guy that shouts hey he's naked no one wants to shout and the King himself is he sees himself how come he doesn't admit it because a person does not see the obligation himself he says what the guy told me got a suit from a different planet I'm GNA say I can't see it that would say that I have bad eyes that would say that I don't I can't appreciate value so he said no no I like it I feel like I was just born I feel great cuz they're all full of it cuz words don't cost anything but why the little kid say hey IMA the king's naked because the little kid's pure there's no show off there's no nothing he's pure pure and he calls it how it is you even want truth you go to a little kid go to a little kid little kids are going to tell you the truth adults unfortunately are full of lies next question know okay is allowed to be in a place even if he doesn't go there to no it's one of the seven one of the seven no laws doesn't just mean don't worship them means you also cannot contribute to them even giving giving honor to is a part of worshiping them using a tree in memory of a like for example for exmas or uh or going to one of these temples or contributing to it even if you contribute simply your time you're contributing to it's 100% sin and it's death penalty it's a Heavenly death penalty so no absolutely not allowed no one is allowed to worship an idol or benefit from an idol in any way shape or form no no person on earth is ever allowed to do it because it's the it's the epitome of you know betraying hasem no one is allowed to betray hasem whether they're uh a Jew or not what or not no yeah after they get to the land and all that and I've heard there are a couple of opinions where one says that it's still an obligation today and some say it's rabinal but it's not an obligation uh not a Biblical obligation the reason why is because we don't have the bet mikdash so unless you are a uh you you're in farm in Israel you have you uh deal with fruits and vegetables and cattle and things of that nature uh you're not obligated to it but some say that you are so a person should be stringent when it comes to the mitvah of giving because it's a special for success but it's the ultimate recognition of of by showing him that you believe that he's the one that provides everything page 16 and 16b both say that decides what parasa you're going to get on r on this judgment day next week hasem will decide how much money you're going to make over the next year regardless of what your profession is regardless of whether you're married or single regardless of you're naturally born Jew or you're a convert regardless of whether you're a male or a female regardless of you're black blue or green all of that stuff is irrelevant Hashem will decide what P you're going to get next week and the only exceptions to the case are is any money that you use for the sake of Mitzvah either mitvah of Shabbat or holiday or that is not included in the calculation meaning that if a person is destined and decreed to make let's say I don't know $50,000 over the next year but he wants to give and he ends up giving $110,000 he ends up giving $10,000 in staka for the sake of to save Jewish from going to G that $10,000 is not deducted from the $50,000 that hem promised him why because that $10,000 isah it's mitvah money andm says who did me a favor and I'll pay them back meaning any money that you're going to spend on the honor of Hem Hem pays for it you're not even paying for it so someone that gives M or even 20% or does spends extra money without count you know without considering too many things for Shabbat for holidays and things of that nature should never be worried about not being able to afford it or it being deducted out of their money that they have a salary for because hasem literally promised them literally promised them that he will pay pay for it so a person with a lot of will will give M and even more so now as far as the it's as follows technically the way it's supposed to be is that you're supposed to give 10% from the gross income so if let's say for example you made $5,000 you're supposed to give 10% of the $5,000 before deducting any of your expenses that's technically the way it's supposed to be now if let's say for example you're uh the money that you actually get in your pocket is uh after tax money then uh let's say you made $5,000 in gross income but the government took half of it and you have $2,500 uh left then the 2500 is the cost of getting the 5,000 so that's not uh so the 5,000 is not really the Real gross the Real gross is the 2500 so now you give 10% of the 2500 that's the way it's supposed to be before you pay your rent before you pay the car before you pay anything else so now somebody came to and said yes but if uh if you give 10% of the 2500 he's not going to have enough money to pay his bills because his rent is uh 1,800 and his car is 200 and his phone is 20000 and this is 100 and he's not going to be able to pay his bills because the 2500 barely covers his bills so said yeah but if he doesn't pay off of the gross then he's never going to give M either because he's never going to have any money left because and there's not going to be any and therefore he's GNA pay all of his bills and he's gonna have $10 left he's $1 off the $10 there's no in $1 or $10 and therefore he's never goingon to have money to give real but that means that if he gives money he gives $250 off of the gross he really shows AEM I believe that you are the one that's going to provide me which means I believe that somehow I'm still going to make ends meet with after giving the Mas anyway and this is tried and proven tried and proven many many times and I can tell you that literally the the the the blessing that we've had uh ourselves since losing every single penny that we had literally I made over $20 million in my life in the business and this is not like fictional money it's real money real money that was in a pocket that was in an account and I never had blessing in the money and literally every month seemed like we were going to go broke every month like we we were like dying until we got to the next month every month didn't matter how much we made made a million dollars made 500,000 made 200,000 every month I couldn't wait for the next month check to come in couldn't wait cuz we got paid once a month but ever since since we we did CH all the money is gone but we've never ever missed anything never never once missed anything and aside from the CH one of the main things is because we give we give more than Mel we give we try to give 20% so technically if you look at my accounting it doesn't make any sense why because even what I get is not enough to pay for what I have to come out what has the income is not even enough to just pay for the expenses it's not even enough it doesn't make any sense but somehow it always makes sense somehow there's always money left over somehow it always works why hem runs the world I don't know how it accounting wise it doesn't make any sense you look at the number it doesn't make any sense now I bash had the privilege of seeing somebody else do it before I did I saw ra do it I knew ra makes $500 a month but somehow he lived in a house that was uh $1,500 or $2,000 a month and somehow he had six kids and some he had a wife too with the six kids and some when he went shopping for Shabbat he bought more food than all of us put together with 500 bucks how Hashem sent money in other ways other time I don't know how I saw it work if I didn't see with my own eyes I wouldn't believe it after I saw I said oh I got to do this I gotta get in on this trick I got to get on this trick that's the secret to P so a lot of people that uh always say they don't have any money I can guarantee it's because they don't donate and I don't just mean donate the one time a year for y I mean on a regular basis every single time you get money you automatically give for something meaningful you give money for TOA you give money for K on a regular basis and you'll see that within no time you will see blessing in your life also when it comes to shabbat people that don't honor Shabbat are not going to have the P that they're meant to have they may still have P they may still have a lot of money but they're not going to have as much as what they're supposed to have so and also if they waste seed again this also kills P also if they don't have schite this kills P there's several things that make or break P but one thing that I know for sure as far as your question is when it comes to M it's worth it to take the risk and the reason why is because the toah says in the Book of Job again we're going to mention job is that this is the only time in the Torah that Hashem says you're allowed to test me you're allowed to test me I encourage you to test me you're not allowed to test me on anything else you're not allowed to say Hashem if you show me a sign then I'll do chuva hasem if uh if the next guy that I meet has a little dimple on his cheek then I'm GNA marry him you're not allowed to do things like that that's AB that's idol worship but hasem says you are allowed to test me with you give and I promise you in your lifetime you will be wealthy in your lifetime you'll be wealthy it doesn't say when it could be a week it could be a month it could be five years who knows but it's definitely going to be tests it's definitely going to be you're going to going to be tested I'm not telling you that everything in our path was roses that we went to zero a few times we didn't know how we're going to pay the bills a few times it's not like so roses oh you know you just give 10% and all of a sudden you're in G in this world you don't even need to go to Allah already here no there's tests but that's the point that's the point the test of the whole point there's no test no pressure no there's no point so as far as the way the m is supposed to be it's supposed to be 10% on a regular basis from the gross income some people that have a hard time because either they're cheap or they have NOA then to train themselves to overcome these bad midot of not having a or being cheap which is a bigger disease than not having AA what they should do is give M off of whatever they have left after expenses because they're not going to give off the gross so let's not kid ourselves a guy that doesn't have any inem or a guy that's suffering from the disease from the cancer of stinginess is not going to give 10% of his gross income starting tomorrow it's not happening he may do once in a while cuz he got some craziness in his head but on a regular basis he's not doing it so for him it's better the ramb says to give small amounts what small amount you should give 10% of the net meaning after he pays for his basic necessities he pays his rent or his mortgage his car his basic food after he pays everything he has I don't know $200 left out of the $200 that he has left give M from there give $20 from that it's not the full Mitzvah it's not the way the Mitzvah is supposed to be but at least it's going to get him acclimated to giving and once a person starts giving on a regular basis this is going to soften his and over time he can start giving more but the real mitvah is off of the gross the way they actually used to do it is for example in page 16 says that all of is like what's bonon is like how they used to count cheap when they would give M how would they count cheap when they give M the guy would make a small ENT a small opening and he would let every one of his sheep pass one by one because there's not enough of an opening for two sheeps to pass and he would let one two three four 10 pass after the 10th one pass he would put a paint on the tenth one you put paint on a tenth one he goes this one is for egg dish this is one of this 10 one is for mikdash why didn't he just count all of the sheep that he had all the cows that he had and then count 10% of that say that's more too difficult to do count one at a time why because this it's not supposed to be you pick the the certain one supposed to be natural don't wait for to give my at the end of the year supposed to be as soon as I got money I'm giving myself a lot of people make the mistake like I used to where he said no no I'll give myself later on I heard of myself since I was a kid and I tried giving it a few times but every time you got the big money it's much more difficult than giving small money you know you got $50,000 writing a check for $5,000 when you make $50,000 a month it's not a big deal but then you made a half a million dollars writing $50,000 is a big deal you made $5 million writing a half a million dollar is a big deal you know everything relative somebody that makes $5,000 a month okay give $500 is uh not easy but it's possible but then if he waits for the end of the year and he made 60,000 now he has to write a check for 6,000 it's a big deal it's difficult why cuz the money is already spent it's already spent he didn't save it the whole year you understand so we have to be like we have to be where as soon as we get money we go as soon as we get money we go because that is the ultimate uh admission to Hashem that we know the money comes from him even though sometimes it doesn't make sense how he's going to make it all work out that's the point that's how your emuna muscles end up getting some exercise on the same subject temp Le yes L the co name yeah people okay day who do we give receive this today or can we see if we have it let's say we have 10% how do we do it or give some to the uh to the or what I'm saying can't understand in the Tora they split it up to the levies to theim to the uh to the uh convert the orphan the uh the poor so who do we give it today I'm sorry also who qualifies to get this like not just people as po right so the rambam writes that uh in today's generation meaning even in his generation 900 years ago the are the equivalent of theim people that learn to for a living they're the equivalent of theim so it's when you give to somebody that learns to it's as if you give to aen uh even more so for the sake of uh to the biggest Mitzvah of the generation is for the sake of bringing more people to become meaning to do uh so there's a between the which is a bigger both are huge huge but there's a debate which is bigger giving to a someone learns to offer a living or doing K now everyone agrees that at the very least they're both the same giving to somebody learns to is the same as doing k at the very least but the the debate is whether K is more than given to a because without the K there wouldn't be any in fact in our generation without K there wouldn't beom in one or two generations so one of the things that uh we recommend to do is that we recommend to give a little bit to both both to and to and that's why if uh there was I did an interview today did an interview today in Hebrew and they uh we asked what is the uh you know what does do and pretty much unlike most organizations Jewish organizations that Focus specifically on one thing some Jewish organizations focus on you know Yeshiva you know funding kids getting them out of your you know high school public school and put them in Yesa some organizations focus on uh you know making the sick feel better some organizations uh to do uh weddings and different things for different organizations for us it's all aspects of tah for everything so for example last week we started off the week by sending $1,000 to a uh woman that's an auna uh that our Wicked husband ex-husband left her with nothing he took all the money he left her with eight kids and she has no money for the holiday so as soon as we heard this we've already helped a several times before so as we all that the situation hasn't improved and she still hasn't gotten to get from this wicked ex-husband of hers uh so she still can't get married and the situation hasn't improved immediately we start off the week by getting $1,000 together and we s it to her which is not all the money in the world but it's a lot of money at least for us so that's one thing we started off the week moments later we also send money to a couple that learned for living in Israel also not exactly Rich also struggling but the point is is that uh they're uh for them it's more even the Torah than it is the poverty issue um and then obviously we uh CDs and books and all types of things that we do for the sake of cube there's constantly uh books that we send out C CDs that we send out lectures that we give out just the lecture that we did on Thursday we didn't charge any money but it cost us $350 between the CDs we gave out for free and the posters and the other pamphlets and the guest and all the different things and the videos and all the people that went behind the scenes to help each lecture cost me this lecture right here it's free for you guys but it cost me a few hundred it costs money to do this it's not like I have nothing to do and you know there's like M from sh appears it costs money each lecture on the average cost $3 $400 why because there's employees that that get paid and there's videos that need to be made and there's videos and there's CDs and there's pamphlets and there's books and there's so on so it costs money so the point is somebody donates the money we use the money for that and so we try to do everything that's related to tah everything that's relating to publicizing hashem's name everything that's relevant to publicizing the T and chuv and to get people to recognize that is who runs the world and we are operate based on as close to 100% munai as we can simply because we know it has nothing to do with us so we'll do things that sometimes don't make sense like for example I think I told you guys the other day we order the next batch of 50,000 CDs of the brand new CDs and uh another 40,000 of these posters and another few thousand of some other stuff literally the biggest order that we've ever had made we don't have the money yet order is already made we made a down payment and we're just hoping that by the time the stuff is ready we have the rest of the money why do we make such a thing why because we know it's needed if it's needed hasm has to write a check to pay for it who wants to be the one that uh comes a volunteer but the point is is that this is the easiest way to live by the way it's the easiest way to live why because pretty much youve removed yourself from complete responsibility you came to Hashem you tell him Hashem I'm nothing I'm never going to be anything everything is from you I'm just going to do what you say you just have to pay for it it's a much easier life than the life of thinking we're actually doing anything we're making the money we have good ideas we're going to make things happen that's a miserable life I liveed that life for a really really long time I actually thought I made money and I had good ideas and I was smart and this and that I actually thought I did something with myself and then hasem reminds you that you're nothing and you realize wow I really didn't make anything so it's it's hard to get there but it's easy once you're there it's easier once you're there it's just constant tests point is that to give m is the ultimate recognition that you know who your boss is you know who your provider is you know who's really the one that's clearing the checks you may be writing the checks but he's the one that's clearing it with money behind you you may be the one that's going to work but he's the one that's the engine that keeps you going once you give M you're recognizing that so this is a very very big Mal that a person should sty to do in this coming year uh because these are the types of things that build your amuna and these are the types of things that you want to teach your kids that the difference between a Believer and a knower there's a lot of people say they believe in God almost every Jew says he believes in God almost every human being says he believes in God but says to know me to know Hashem exists not to believe believer says he's going to do a knower does why does he do cuz he knows that it's not up to him anyway so he does what hasem says anyway he knows God runs the world who is he to get in the way so this this is a prime example of how to do it but it's also a good foundation for the rest of the MIT because some of the MIT you first look at them it doesn't make any sense to you doesn't make any sense to you why hasem wants you to wake up so early in the morning why can't you late F in the afternoon what does he care doesn't make make any sense to you that he says learn toah morning at night what if you feel more awake in the afternoon right after lunch why does he care morning at night why does he say learn morning at night why does he care about you covering your hair he gave you hair if he didn't want you to have if he wants you to have hair you just take off hair every woman you know born bold why give you something you have to cover why is driving okay six days a week but not on Shabbat if it's not good on Shabbat it shouldn't be good in six days either should be Shabbat seven days a week meaning if you actually try to rationalize any of the MIT you can find something wrong something irrational but that's the point it's not rational for humans it's rational for Hashem and that's all that matters once a person puts their hands up and says hem I'm ready to submit I have no idea what's going on I just you want me to do it I'm going to do it not because I know not even because I understand because you do that's enough I'll take your word at it and that is one of the one of the best best ways to increase oura in this next year this is one of the best lessons you can teach yourself it's the best lesson you can teach your kids because your kid a kid that grows up with this type of mindset is also a kid that's that's going to have less trouble as far as developing good midot he's not going to be tainted like we did for 30 years but we didn't even realize that it's not such a good thing to be an angry egotistical person because in a secular world it's a good thing to be egotistical anything else why why is it good because people like show of powering to the four of sculptures that you're not allowed to have okay what about the the kids of the toy the toys of the kids no if it's a toy in obviously a toy is no problem if it's obviously a toy it's not a problem by the way also as a as a uh as a something that it's not an obligation but you should not have it uh you shouldn't have any pictures of uh meat eating like predatorus animals in the house especially not in the children room from my experience a few times already kids tend to have nightmares if they have pictures of lions and uh all types of uh Predator types of animals uh in their rooms because they're cool looking and you think that it's cool looking thing to have but the kids having nightmares because of it everything has an impact we're not going to go into the details of how and who and what and when point is that if your kids have nightmares look at the wall if the wall has pictures of all types of uh predators and things of that nature take them off take them off if you like the picture that much put it in a different part of your house but in general you shouldn't have pictures of things like this sculptures you're not allowed to have but pictures you shouldn't have next noticed also when I went to the store some um multi-surface cleaners they have the OU on it and for example sponges and I was thinking it has to do with surface of the food's going to be what the cleaner yeah the Surface Cleaner you eat the cleaner no but they have OU on it Oh you mean you mean like the spray has OU on it oh yeah that's capitalism that means people like to make money that's all that means you don't need any OU any kosher certification for any cleaning product that's complete nonsense uh unless you eat it there's no need for kosher what about toothpaste toothpast if you eat the toothpaste then you should have kosher but you don't need toothpaste it's disgusting that even a dog wouldn't eat it a dog wouldn't eat toothpaste and therefore it does not need K same thing with pills pills do not need K according to even though there are pills that have gelatin in them you still allowed to take them even though they have gelatin in them and the reason why is because by the time the pill is made and they use the gelatin for it the gelatin loses all flavor so therefore you're there's no flavor that even a dog would not eat this gelatin if it was by itself but if the pill does have flavor then you're not allowed to consume it then you're not allowed to consume it but if it's a flavorless pill that has gelatin according to you're allowed to use it no problem if you have a choice that you can take a pill that's kosher gelatin versus non- kosher gelatin then of course you will get AA you will get a blessing from heaven from going to kosher vitamins.com and buying things from them versus from buying from just your local CVS or anything that's not kosher you're definitely getting a blessing for that because you're using kosher gelatin but if you happen to have non-osa gelatin that's flavorless it's not a sin it's not a sin it's just uh you know you're allowed to have it but you you should you know you should try your best these are s there are small things that are stringencies that are easy even though we don't recommend and generally we don't even teach stringencies because that's mid that I don't think most people could stand by anyway there are certain stringencies that are so easy you should do them there are certain things that are easy you should do them because there's an extra blessing that you get for it and all of us can use a few extra blessings so one of them is for example if somebody is uh you know takes vitamins somebody likes to take vitamins on a regular basis I would recommend getting kosher vitamins and there's one website that we've used multiple times and have always been reliable their name is koshervitamins.com and they have a very very wide selection of things uh I think it's relatively the same price as everybody else maybe cheaper maybe more whatever but it's nothing nothing extraordinary we've bought many things from them you could pretty much assume that everything on their site is kosher and again even though technically buying it from anywhere else if it's flavorless it's okay too i' rather number one get the kosher one because it's extra stry that's worth taking and two i' rather give the business to a Jew which brings me to another point in regards to business you are actually obligated if you have two choices to give business to a Jew versus to give business to a you're supposed to give business to a Jew as long as it's up to 16% more expensive meaning if the Jew is more expensive than the non-jew he's more expensive let's say you have I don't know some uh piece of equipment the n Jew sells it for $100 the Jew sells it for $16 you should go buy from the Jew even though he's more expensive but if he's 117 go buy it from the you're not obligated to buy from the Jew at 116 but you should then it's not the same prod it's not a fair comparison talking about the same thing if it's the same thing but the Jew is more expensive up to 16% go do business with them it's a mitvah but if it's inferior if the Jew is inferior even if it's more expensive or cheaper is irrelevant it's not comparison one guy is selling you a hammer the other one is selling you a tractor okay yeah the hammer is this but the other one's tractor you can't compare the two two hammers but one of of better quality it's not the same comparison it's two different tools might as well be two different tools it has to be the same thing has to be the same thing uh if it's the same thing and the Jew is more expensive you should go with him anyway if it's up to 16% more expensive but only if he's a not if he's a secular Jew if he's a secular Jew he's not considered part of if he's not considered part of you have no obligation to him whatsoever you're even allowed to uh lend the money with the interest unfortunately hopefully you give him a CD instead hopefully he does chba next year but point is is that what I'm referring to is anytime to do business with a Jew or non and so on is talking about religious Jews religious Jews next second to of that money yeah of course of course yeah yeah of course of course yeah each person needs to look at their uh male as Investments you have X amount of money to give you have I don't know $100 to give $1,000 to give a million dollars to give whatever it is to give you have EXT amount of money to give you have to look at this money this is your Investments where am I going to get the most amount of return for my investments then you have let's say two two kiru organizations and two people that are struggling for money okay so you you want to give to all of them you want to give to one you want to give to one C of organization you want to give to one struggling person right you want to give to all three let's say you want to share okay so now when you look at the KE of organizations you have to look at it not as who's bigger not who's a bigger marketer not who has more expenses because the bigger company always going to have more expenses but who gets results who gets actual results who do you see ah this guy this company people actually do chuva and it's verified they write letters they uh they change their lives and so on and so forth you have verifiable evidence that it's on a regular basis people change this is who you would give to why because I know that if I give money I could be part of this change the Baba Saadi one time asked uh Shalom to come visit him as soon as he came visit him and he asked asked how much does it cost you to make one B cha he said oh maybe $1,000 the Bab took $1,000 out of his pocket said please buy me one B that makes miracles happen he cares about doing doing kiru so kiru organization you're going to pick based on results second thing is when it comes to Torah you have two you have one guy that's already welln the other guy not so welln but he studies very hard the guy that's well known most likely he's going to have a much easier time getting money from other people the guy is less well known but serious he's going to have a harder time person that understands that will give it to the person that's less known why it's more bigger Mal bigger Mal it's much bigger to give that nobody knows and to give to let's say after became everybody gets to already everybody gives Toki everybody gives to you know he doesn't need your help people write him checks they don't want take it back give it to somebody else that's what they would do the they came toin they want $2 million for the he says I don't need it give it to some give it to thisa here make a payable you give it just go give it to thisa no for the you could do no I don't need just give it to them I have I have go give it to it means nothing to them so when you give it to give it to someone that's really learning and then as far as needy needy because you look at who's needy and you see needy is helping himself needy is not helping himself someone that's needy and helping himself and you know that it's just discomfort but not needy to the extent that he's helpless versus somebody that's truly helpless he's depressed he's down and out he's sick he's immobile and so on this a person you need to help why because he can't even help himself so now when you help him you become a partner with Hashem why because hem made it so but you're going to help help this person in essence you're lending the Torah says you're lending money to hasem lending money to AEM so a person needs to look at this is like these are in Investments this is portfolio you know rich people I used to manage their portfolio they call me all the time even though they get statements in the mail they would still call you a million and a half times asking you what's going on with my account yeah but you got your statement but what's happening in the account today you just got your statement three days ago yeah what's happening today yeah but you just got it yesterday what's happening today you just got it this morning yeah what's happening now it's never enough people like to count what they like they like their money they like to count it so a person needs to look at his investments just like this what investments I'm talking about his T his his he's constantly investing to make sure there's results okay so I got for example I got this sadik from Atlanta I talked to him and he he's serious about CU him and his wife they're serious about CU why for them it's not a question should we or should we not to them they apologize to me I'm sorry the check was late I'm sorry it's not so much more tell me I don't send you that much money but I'm sorry but did you get it did you get it and what else are you working on they're interested what we're doing why because they know that they work hard they make money they want to invest something that's going to prepare the say what are you doing oh we have CDs we just ordered CDs we're writing a book in Hebrew is going to come out soon in English GNA come out soon new CDs new this new a lot of good things my money is working well listen I'm buying my second house and by the way you should see my new car it's not that's not the news they get because it doesn't exist but they check they check on their investment why next week say what you do for me I made sure the money got there he had to do he did the rest he told us he's getting CDs he told us people are doing Chua and he showed us he's sending us letters emails and so on and so forth so a person that is conscious of his that cares about his investments will check on it we'll see to it and we also make it a priority in his life the problem that I see sometimes is that the people that send $10 when they have the ability to send 10,000 they check more than the guy that has $10 and he gives 20 because the guy that gives more usually has a big heart and he cares more about his investment and he knows okay trusting Hashem I do the right thing the guy that uh has a lot but gives little unfortunately he uh he's not doing it for the right reason sometimes he's doing it to CH off so that's why it's very very very important that when we give we give for the right reason if we're not giving for the right reason it's better off not to give anything else the know the people AUD tough question from don't have this opportunity and a lot of people wonder what they can do if there they can do you really want to ask me this question I know your question I know your question I've been I've been meaning not to talk about this question for a long time there's one question I don't like to answer because I know that people take it the wrong way but you ask me the question that means that hasem wants to know the wants me to say the answer so the people ask all the time about and for what about the rest of the Nations now is Judgment for all of creation suot was actually a how that all the nations would benefit from there would be aan a sacrifice brought for each one of the Nations during sukot 70 Nations each one of the Nations we would bring aan for them to the bet mikdash but y is only for is only for so why is Judgment Day for and everyone else and celebration day is for am and everybody else but the appeal is only for why this is unfortunately one of the most difficult things that a Noah does know is that there is no chuv for no there's no concept of chuv for no that's why the say that a noahide could literally get death penalty for stealing $1 a noahide does not have different punishments for his sins noahide has a single punishment for all of his sins it's always death penalty now of course since we don't have the Sun and we don't have a noahide court to implement this uh there's only Heavenly punishment but the point is is that a noi does not have a uh ability to do chuva like a Jew has the ability to do chuva in essence the holiday of Chua is y Kip so no has to make sure that he's going to be extra extra righteous or else it's not worth it for him to be a noahide he's better off turning become a Jew so people that think that no no there's less mitv for a noide so it's better than being a Jew it's not necessarily true number one you can serve hem in the highest level and number two any small sin that you do as a noahide is actually a death penalty whereas a Jew it's not always a death penalty so there's no Chua for noahides and it's a very very dangerous life to live if you have the ability to do chuva meaning to convert to Judaism so the also talks about how in that hem will uh reason why uh converts suffer when they first convert is because they didn't convert fast enough when they could some converts simply can't the bed takes a long time their spouse is not ready they don't have the money to move it's beyond them they're anim they it's beyond their ability but some people they just say you know what let me convert once I'm 30 let me convert once I have more money let me convert this and that they give conditions to conversion once they convert Hashem punishes them he likes them he loves them they converts but he punishes them for it he punishes them for it that's why a lot of them have a hard life so the point is that I didn't really want to talk about this because I don't want to make people hopeless that if they're not Jews they uh don't have uh you know the ability to do ch a Jew they technically can do chuva it just does not have the same Merit and the same magnitude as a Jew for the obvious reason that a non a non-jew is not as uh great in the eyes of Heaven as a Jew is but the same token that a non-jew that fulfills the Torah is considered like a CO it's considered fantastic considered amazing it's not frowning upon among the non-jews it's just that it's their state not reach the same level as a righteous Jew and they cannot have the same uh same ability as the righteous Jew so point being abai is that if you know that Judaism is real and you know that Torah is real and you have the ability to convert not converting is going to be a prosecution against you it's going to be a prosecution against you it's not a good idea but if you can't convert because of obvious reasons a spouse hasm doesn't want everybody to get divorced hasem uh doesn't want everybody to just uh you know destroy everything they've built he wants you to bring more people along but the point is that sometimes it takes a little time that's fine but uh don't think that you can live the life of a Jew a lot of people get too comfortable with their Noah height status because somebody told them like this uh guy David Catz and his uh some other guy Kon Kon sounds like a mafia guy but I think his name is Kon uh they told him that uh you know the Noah heits can keep Shabbat and noites can keep all the MIT and they're they're literally making people sin against theem so a few big rabbis went against them and wrote public letters against them telling them that you're you're misleading the public and no cannnot keep mitv like a like a Jew cannot keep Shabbat he cannot uh you know keep all the like aases and the problem is that a lot of these noahides they get so comtable doing the mitvah doing whatever they like they never end up converting when they could have so this is a problem so the point is that CH is only available to full chv is only available to is thanks for the question anything else yes I heard scary um prophecy for like the times of mhia that when come to convert and then they sit in the Suka they're going to be like oh I don't was so hot and they're going to leave everything can that be possible that we don't fall into that category it's not convert mistake it's not conver it's just everybody's going to celebrate but the go are going to it's going to get so hot the go are going to are not going to want to do it so thank you so uh the page three the beginning of says that at the end of days there's not going to be any more conversion just like there was no more conversion at the time of but the prophecy is the says that at the end of days the going to come to hem they're G to complain to him sayem look you didn't give us the Tor so how could we fulfill the Torah if you didn't give it to us give us another chance and hasem in his Mercy says okay I'll give you an easy Mitzvah I'll give you an easy Mitzvah if you keep this Mitzvah no problem what's the easy mitvah he gives him and the will build a Suka but then hasem will give him a test can't just get easy ride just to build a a little tent so he makes it a really hot day hottest day in history and theim will not be comfortable in the Suka and they'll leave the Suka and kick it down and then Hashem says see you are not like my nation I can't judge you like my nation and then they will decide to go fight the mashia they're not potential coners they're just simply go but now the ask why is it that hasem will judge them harshly for kicking the Suka for for leaving the Suka when it's hot when it's a known thing that if a person is not comfortable in their Suka they don't have to be in it so if let's say for example you're not comfortable in your Suka because there's a hole in it and there's water coming in from rain or it's really really hot you didn't put an air conditioner in there or there's frogs in it like there's a million and a half frogs in this area over here you can barely unless you build your sukka from from uh from steel you're going have frogs inside your sukka so it's very uncomfortable so if it's uncomfortable in your Suka you're not obligated to be Inka you're not obligated to sleep in the Suka so how come the Jews are allowed to leave the Suka but the non-jews are not allowed to leave the Suka so said say no both are allowed to leave the Suka but the difference is that the Jew wanted to do the Mitzvah so when he found out that it's too hot in the Suka it's too cold in the Suka it's too uncomfortable in the Suka he was sad he was sad he's not able to fulfill the will of hem but the the was happy he doesn't have to do Mitzvah how do we know he kicked the Suka on the way out he kicked the Suka way out meaning he didn't want to do it in the first place he just wanted to get means to an end that's the difference that's the difference that's the all get yes no next anything same price finished but Noah is not going to go through that that test right if he's a righteous Noah hide or if he's a wicked Noah hide could be AED all the whole world is Noah heids everyone's a Noah heide anyone that's not Jewish is considered a noahide there's a righteous noide there's Wicked nohide not really like Christians and Muslims are not considered noes they consider noids regardless of what they call themselves everyone's considered a nohide whether he's righteous or Wicked is a different story but he's considered a noahide as righteous that's wicked anyone that's not Jewish is considered noahide by default which is righteous noahides we call it in English righteous no in Hebrew it's called there's no concept of noahides in Hebrew I mean you call no but it's not really everybody's been no Jews are been no noide is more of an English expression uh for for uh for um the rest of the Jews are called or so the righteous among Nation we have another on Tuesday in the breast up Center then I think Wednesday is in aventur somewhere or Miami somewhere wherever that is that area and then Thursday we have another sh in Avent at it's a new sh atra over there and then I think we have uh that's it we have a little bit of a break I think is next week so so we have a lot of sh this week bring your questions bring your bring all your thoughts amen good right well the no someone that's in the process of converting is uh different status until they finish converting they're considered a righteous noide um but there are certain things that they're considered a Jew on actually already even though they're in the process of converting because if let's say for example somebody's is already in the latter stages of their conversion they can't continue to do all the things they did as a because other people don't know if they finish conversion didn't finish conversion because they look Jewish so if they see him go to McDonald's it's a problem it becomes whereas is not a problem for a Noah hide [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music]
