Are We Being Lied To About Teshuva - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (86)

[Music] good to see everyone some new faces old faces um it's good to see some of the old faces you guys didn't get scared to death after the she about getting home here last week but the feedback we've had uh about this uh has been extraordinary the uh it's very surprising to be honest with you it's very surprising how many people enjoyed the insights as hard as it is to hear about gome and Punishment and all types of things that unfortunately await people that do not do chuva it's hard as it is to hear many people were relieved relieved to hear it many people were relieved to hear it because at least they said at least now I know what I need to deal with at least now I know why that's a motivation for me to do chuba sometimes the blessing is not enough of a motivation sometimes to geta to get good marriage to get good kids sometimes you either are not motivated Enough by it or sometimes you already have it and you think this is it and therefore you don't need to do Chua so sometimes the good is not enough for you to Su to stop sinning to stop to go run away from sins so hasem says sometimes I have to scare you not because I want you to break Shalom lose hope but rather because I want you to understand that there's a price to pay if we don't do Chua now of course whatever naysayers still exist will always tell you no hem isem is merciful Hashem is gonna reward everyone everyone's okay everyone is this everyone is that but then after that you they really can't say that anymore and the reason why is because with hashem's help in every single step we provided you countless amount of sources that in order for anyone to say otherwise in order for anyone to say that GOM is not a place of punishment in order for anyone to say that GOM is not a real thing they have to go against the Torah they have to outright go against the Tor and declare war against theem and there are plenty of stupid people in the world but very few actually want to do such a thing I somebody told me uh foolishness of some other person today or yesterday every day it seems like there's a new one it doesn't matter what the M was what actually happened but I told him that if stupidity was a stock the price would be Infinity you keep going higher uh and that's the reason why is because people sometimes they fool themselves they fool themselves into believing their own foolishness and they don't wake up until hasem shakes them up a little bit so scared enough people to start doing CH motivated enough people to keep going and enlightened many people about parts of the Torah that they never heard even if they were themselves were religious their whole life I mean we had somebody here in in a they said he was a he was I mean grew up religious his whole life was very religious knows a little bit of but he says I never heard anything relevant to what you're saying here so this is a necessary and it's actually had some good feedback now the Mish continues and continues and you'll see that how everything continues to be connected and you'll see that this is not just a hidden message this is as as it gets this is as clear as it gets now the m vot the second one last week we talked about the 10 utterances that were created and it would teach us that hasem punishes those that go against him and rewards those that go for him to fulfill his will the second mishna so anyone doesn't think that I'm making this s up or I'm just a morbid person and I want to talk about punishment all the time the second punish second uh mishna talks about the same exact thing but just with a little bit more historical details so the second mishna in a says the following there were 10 Generations from Adam to Noah from the creation of the world until Noah 10 Generations passed so question is why why do we have this why do we why did the Torah care to mention these the names of the 10 generations of course we know that the Torah is not a history book so there were plenty of generations that were not mentioned in the Torah there were plenty of significant time frames that were not mentioned in the Torah for example in last week's par there was a gap of 60 years that we didn't hear hear a word about a gap of nearly 60 years we did not hear about in the actual tah itself which was when mosenu left MIT he ran away after he killed the Egyptian and then the two Jews ratted on him to par and Par wanted to kill him he actually originally the mid says in that he caught him caught him originally and he tried chopping off his head he took a sword and he tried chopping off his head and hasem miraculously turned his turned mosh renu's neck into hardest Stone and then froze everyone in the scene and allowed mosenu not only to survive the sword but also allowed him time to run away without anyone chasing him without a worry in the world this doesn't sound believable that's because you're still thinking that Hashem is like you I was told somebody when I first came in today that uh Miracles are plenty and it was a nice beautiful miracle that happened to me on the way here I have to share it because it's such a nice miracle and it's your not mine because hm wanted me to show up here so I left I drove from my house and uh shortly after I get out uh there's Sirens behind me initially I think obviously I don't think it's me who thinks he's guilty but the guy's not going away so it's me he wants to pull over okay so I pull over and this guy with like uh Commando Suits comes up to me not a typical policeman he has like an army thing and uh I it was two cops like as if I had like uh crack cocaine pills and a few uh uh burglars and terrorists in the back I don't know what happened two cops pulling me over I have a in a half hours I'll show up upon time so anyway maybe they saw the G lecture they ran away so anyway they pull me over and the guy comes in and he he says yes um license and registration I said okay and he saids yeah you was speeding I didn't even ask him license I don't argue worst thing in the world you can do is argue with cops number one because it gives them a reason to give you a ticket number two is because you're giving them too much power the only Power in the world belongs to God if you're afraid of the cop that means you're not afraid of God so the says the uh someone that relies on a person even if that person is themselves or even if that person is an authority figure you think too much of them you're cursed why you're taking that cavod away from hem you're giving it to somebody else so anyway I'm smiling hey how are you and the guy says yeah you were speeding I said okay I was speed I didn't know he goes yeah you were going 60 on a 45 or something like that I'm sorry I didn't mean to sh no problem you have a license yeah yeah yeah I have a license and I realized oh and he's looking at me also oh I don't have a seat belt either I don't have a seat belt on and then I look for my wallet and I realize I don't even have a license I don't have a wallet now just so you know generally when you drive without a license usually get arrested you go to jail that's typically the typical thing that happens especially in New York where I live for 25 years of my life so I realized I don't have a wallet so I say I'm sorry I don't have a wallet I I don't have my wallet and he says okay do you have any form of identification and I say I look I look I'm like let's check so I start looking in the car looking for something I see there's some books I see there's some instruction manuals no no no I'm like oh hey look I give my CD I'm like yeah this is me it's my pictures on it this is me he goes oh you in a hurry I'm like yeah I'm going to give a lecture about Torah he looks sayd he goes okay good luck good luck to you Shalom thank you very much that's it now you see something that's M if you think this is natural if you think this is lucky you're a fool if you think this has anything to do with luck you're a fool because I have the worst luck with cops cops arrest somebody else and still look at me and want to arrest me for no reason my whole life my whole life I was I was rich I was poor it doesn't make a difference they look at they arrest somebody else they look at me they want to arrest me for no reason I've had several times they've wanted to get no reason now you guys have some wanted me to come to the lecture I show him a CD gu says oh okay good luck no seat belt no license no oh like do you have a license from this from Florida like no actually it's New York I don't have a license from this state he goes okay good luck to you runs the world my friends hem runs the world so anyway is saved by his neck turns to Stone he runs away and for the next 60 years we don't hear anything the mid Yim says that originally mosenu went to the Kush the land of kush originally he was a uh second in command to the king over there was second in command to the king but this ended when the king died and all the people wanted mosenu to be the leader and said okay long live the king he became the leader and here's a uh wife who's the wife the former King's wife the former King's wife became his wife they had a son you know the the former King and uh you know and and this uh Queen had a had a baby right before he died but they said listen since it's the same lineage whatever you just marry her now she's one of the most beautiful women and so on and so forth you're the king just the same wife and same kid take the role you're the king now so mosenu for the next few decades was a king of kush he actually won some battles went to war he won some battles one of the battles was against Bam Bam the wicked prophet of theim he won a battle against him but then after 40 years of being King the uh Queen had enough and she told the people that listen this Moshe has been King here for 40 years but haven't you noticed there's no new kids the baby I had from the previous King has grown up he's 40 years old now but there's no new kids why no new kids because for 40 years this Moshe hasn't touched me he hasn't touched me so they ask him uh your honor no good what happened he says I come from the descendants of Abraham and yov and my God does not allow me to be with a woman that's not not within and and's lineage I'm not allowed to go with anyone that's not within that family I cannot go with a Canaanite I cannot go with anyone that's not within that family even before mat and he says and I'm afraid of my God I'm afraid of my God yeah but you're the king you have money you have power you have this you have that I'm afraid of God he lasted and survived the test of a beautiful woman inside his bedroom for years we can't survive a safe day on the internet on the internet we can't survive he survived one in his in his house that's why he's M and we're not that's why he's M raenu so after that they said okay obviously this can't work you don't want to worship our Idols you don't want to be with our Queen sh Shalom good luck to you go they gave him a AEM made put a fear in him they were all afraid to kill him because usually such a thing that would kill the person even if he's a king there's no like retirement plans there's no retirement plans for kings that go against the system and they let him go and mosenu goes to midan which is the only part that we hear about and midan originally he goes to the well he sees he throw's daughters he saves them he thr who was the pope of his town very rich very powerful and worshiped every single type of but he was also the reason why was so many different a different uh forms of idol worship was not because he was wicked was because he was actually is he was a man of Truth as soon as he saw the one one Idol worship was fake he stopped worshiping it look for something else found another one fake another one found another one fake another one each time he has to build a new church so now he hears about this Moshe saved his daughters and he says who are you and Moshe says yeah I used to be a prince in uh in Egypt and then uh what happened is that I saw an Egyptian kill one of my brothers from am Isel and I killed him and then I went to uh wait wait hold on a second he told says wait hold on a second you killed somebody You're a murderer murder in Egypt is not accepted it's not allowed death penalty to a murderer okay I will exercise the law of Egypt here yeah but it happened 40 years ago make a difference You're a murderer he was is REM a man of Truth he says You're a murderer I'm not going to let the murderer live he threw him into a jail cell and threw away the key how long 10 years for 10 years mosenu survived because Tora his future wife snuck into the cell every single day and gave him food and water after 10 years the mid says t comes to our father and she says ABA what about that guy that you threw in jail 10 years ago let's go check on him he says check on who the guy he threw in jail 10 years ago he died no one can survive a week without eating or drinking you want 10 years goes let's check what do you have to lose he goes to check he sees M alive in well he says okay this guy is special how he did it what he did doesn't make a difference point is this is special okay you're G to work for me now so he comes and he starts working for now on the way backu discloses to something significant without even knowing which is that mosu was chosen by the Creator to lead the nation how Ben the Mish says Ben which was between the end of Friday and the beginning of Shabbat right at right the beginning right before the beginning of Shabbat Hashem made 10 Creations there was 10 things that were created one of them was actually the shaft stick that mosenu had but this specific stick was already used by he gave it to according to the m it was full of rub it was a ruby it wasn't a stick of wood it was a ruby Stone in the shape of a stick long stick and according to the calculations I did one time and I think it also says it in the mid to confirm it it weighed 674 pounds ad had it and then it transfer from generation to generation these 10 10 Generations you're mentioning here from generation to Generation all the way to no to Abu but eventually after yov there was no one had the Merit to have this stick so they stuck it in the ground and the only one that could actually take it out is someone that has the Merit because on the stick on this beautiful Ruby was the engravement of the Ten Commandments of the of the 12 tribes and different holy names on it so it was stuck in the middle of the field of where was and everyone tried to take it out all the all the all the people that were strong try to take it out and no one could so he thought put a price on it and he said whoever can take out this stick and give it to me I'll give you any one of my daughters that you want now when Moshe just came out of the jail 10 years in prison barely any food barely any drink but he survived nonetheless he comes out he's walking on the field he sees this a beautiful stick he was a big guy seven meters tall seven meters is over 20 feet over 20 feet it's not like us you guys think oh M wasik little guy you know had a little hat long beard no no M was a Gib so Moshe was very big but also people in general bigger back then and uh he sees this stick that's as long as him it's as big as him also uh uh 7 m 20 AMA and uh uh he doesn't think much of it he just takes it out of the ground like uh like you take a hair out of uh Out of Milk immediately says this guy's special survived in jail for 10 years is one thing maybe there's a trick but taking this thing out what all the strongest people in the world tried to and failed something's something's different here so that's why when he came to him and he says God spoke to me and he told me to go free my people you don't see any debates you don't see say prove it prove it you're going to take my daughter and my grandkids to some place they want to kill you were you crazy at least leave the kids here at least leave my daughter here you go you want to kill yourself commit suicide good luck to you what do I care but you don't see debating why is he in debate because he knows this one this one is special this Moshe is special but everything I just told you over the last 10 or 15 minutes you don't see it in the Torah that's the oral Torah the oral Torah the midashim the all of that is there now the mishna here says that the 10 Generations between AD and Noah are specifically mentioned because even though there are many many things that are not mentioned in the written Torah these specific 10 Generations the name of the 10 Generations are mentioned for a reason obvious viously it's more than just reporting history because we just got proof that the Torah is not a history book there's many things that are missing that should be in our mind logically part of History why so it says for all of those Generations oh why to show the degree of hashem's patience because all of those Generations angered him increasingly meaning each generation got worse than the other and made Hashem angry and he still remained patient until he brought upon them the Waters of the flood until he destroy the world so here you see that the mid the uh nature of of of Judgment of punishment from hasem continues we continue to learn on it from the mishna this is not a my preference this is just the order of the mishna and obviously everything is run by theem and we'll see why so first and foremost if we look at the weekly par always like to take some things from the par starts off with God speaking to Moshe sh spoke to Moses says I'm God why you say I'm God we knew he was God we already spoke to him last week it's not the first conversation they had why you reminding him he's God because Moshe had some questions for hem he said AEM why did you send me to Egypt and Par didn't listen par Wicked I told him God told me to tell you to release his people to release his children and Par not only didn't listen he made life more miserable for my brothers why' you make me the messenger why' you just do it before me so tells something that's critical God spoke to Moses and said to him I am God what do you mean I am God I know you're God God spoke to you you wouldn't know what you think it's me or you think it's uh some guy what do you think it's some Rabbi if God spoke to you you know when God speaks to you you know trust me you know for sure no questions he speaks to you it's no questions anyone says Ah I think God spoke to me he didn't speak to you if you think he didn't speak to you I think God's telling me this if you think it's not God it's you if you still have doubts it's not God it's you whatever it is it's just not God if you're still thinking because God's clear when he wants you to know something he makes it clear very very clear if it's not clear it's not God so God spoke to Moses and says to Moses I'm God but I know it's God why you mentioning I'm God Rashi Shalom says God is teaching M the most important mitvah in the entire T the foundation of all of Judaism the foundation of all of theim the foundation of everything in the world Foundation of logic Foundation of r Behavior Foundation of everything and anything that's any good in the world and he says I am God he's telling him I'm trustworthy to bring reward and Punishment I'm God meaning I know what I'm doing and the reward will be given to the righteous and the punishment will be given to the wicked that's what Rashi says he's not telling him oh listen don't worry everything's going to be okay no no he I'm God I know what I'm doing I've been here if you're righteous you'll get rewarded when the time comes if you're Wicked you'll get punished when the time comes there's no questions that there's no oh listen maybe he's going to get away with it because he's a nice guy or maybe he's going to get away with it because he had a bad father or a bad mother or a bad brother or bad friends or his dog bit him or the cat look them the funny way or the fish died and made him depressed for 25 years whatever crazy excuse people have for their behavior say no no I'm God meaning it's reward and his punishment why is this the most important Mitzvah why because without reward and Punishment the entire world will be to the entire world will be simply no purpose it would just be a disaster if there's no reward and Punishment you could just do whatever you want unfortunately before I did chuva I had the best excuse in the world not to do chuva best excuse that excuse held up solid 15 20 years what excuse that I have I have plenty of rabbis or people call themselves rabbis religious people come to my office and ask for donations and receive donations and invite me to events and I would attend some of them once in the Blue Moon and never once never once did anyone tell me he by the way you should do Chua hey by the way you know if you don't do Chua you know what kind of punishment you're gonna get what punishment what punishment you're going to get G no this nobody told me nothing they say nothing what they say what a you know what is doing the whole shabat 250 300 people gonna eat because of wow what a you are you're like this generation so me I'm thinking minim why you talking just somebody to Chas you from death right I'm not gonna die even mosu died I'm not going to die and I'm not talking about once talking about week after week week after week these weak rabbis would come to my office and tell me nothing other than charity all types of things about charity one time I even asked one of the two of them actually two rabbis two different rabbis two different times listen this Torah thing that you do teach me something sounds interesting I learned a little bit when I was a little kid teach teach me something I'm uh someone that likes learning first guy came one time about an hour late we learned for I don't know 10 15 minutes then he had to go he never came back again I guess I wasn't that kind of student that he wanted I don't know why second guy would come every single week to collect I told him one time I want to learn I want to learn oh no problem come you want to learn came sat down we learned for I don't know good solid 10 12 minutes solid 12 minutes I was kind of sleepy because it wasn't that interesting but whatever I was there after that he tried I think one more time if I remember correctly another 10 12 minutes and after that he continued to come but just not no no no shoes anymore just to St out part just come collect money pay for the mortgage p pay for the lunches pay for the uh all Shabbat for 200 people to eat on Shabbat pay for hanuka pay for this pay for this I have you guys think I'm joking you come to my house if you want to show you I have plaques I have plaques people you know these different places send me these plaques like I'm a have plaques oh you built a kabad house I have a plaque in my house I'm telling you I have it show it to you I PL in my house you sent me a picture you build a I donate to build a kabad house you built some other house some other you did this you minimum minimum but nobody wanted to teach me and I had the best excuse in the world what's the excuse if it's real if it's necessary one of them would have told me if it's real if it's necessary somebody had to tell me but if it's not real maybe it's just a life preference maybe he's just wearing the hat and the beard and he doesn't drive on Shabbat and he eats a certain type of food and a certain type of diet and he's married to a certain type of woman and he has this and he has that it's just a life preference just like the people in Africa their life preference is to walk around with underwear and the people in different countries their life preferences to do Voodoo and other people's life preferences to shoot people and other people's life preference to throw rocks different people have different life preferences his life preferen is to do this fine mine isn't meaning if it was necessary if God really said it and commanded it and obligated he must have told me at some point him or the second guy or the third guy or the fourth guy or the fifth guy or the six one of the 10 people that's coming to my office every single week would tell me now you would say no maybe they only came once no so I'll give you the math on the average somewhere between two to three people a week two to three rabbis per week will come to my office for approximately 15 years but let's just do simple math let's just do one person once a week for 10 years it's easy a math it's much more whatever number I give you times it by at least three but let's just say one per week for 10 years how much is one per week for 10 years one per week is 52 weeks in the cyclical in the um Christian calendar so that's 52 a year 10 years you add a zero to the 5 to 520 that means you had 520 opportunities to tell me 520 times you have an opportunity to tell me if I violate Shabbat not only do I get punished I have no I'm not considered Jewish according to Al if I drink wine it's if I touch the wine just touch it that's a uncooked wine a regular religious Jew is not allowed to touch it if I say amen amen as part of a to the one doesn't count if you want to count 10 people to pray for me you can't count me if you want to witness for a wedding you want a witness for a wedding you can't use me me not talking about somebody me me you can't use me for the witness and so on and so forth somebody 520 times you fig at some point the strategy is supposed to hit kick in you know like vitamins they always tell you take vitamins take vitamins take vitamin tell the guy listen I've been taking a vitamin for six months nothing happened goes don't worry six months is still the beginning six years later I'm taking a vitam oh don't worry six years just the beginning when you're 80 they'll kick in fine maybe it's like vitamins I figure after 520 times it should kick by now at some point somebody would tell me hey keep Shabbat hey you're intermarried hey you're not keeping kosher really hey something nothing at the best excuse in the world best excuse in the world was that no one told me so God said God says they didn't tell you so I'll tell you they didn't tell you so I'll tell you hurts a little bit though such is life you spent 15 or 20 years building a career and you followed what the yet wants you to do and this week's it says when came to says they did not hear Moshe because of the shortness of breath and hard work is exactly what the wants you to do he wants you to be so busy with your with your hard work you forget about God he wants you to be so busy with the stock market with the uh the the company you have the company you want to have the business you have the business you want to have the investment you have the investment you want to have he wants you to be so busy with your a with your work you forget about God you forget about the B you forget praying you forget where the money is really coming from you forget to ask the question of what's the purpose of life you forget to ask the question of what am I doing here you forget to do chv you're so busy you're so busy you forget that's a literally means hard work without even knowing whether you're going to have any reward for it it's just purely hard and I was busy with my also many people relied on me all these all these employees all these families anyone that needed I was busy but you're not allowed to call yourself but the reality is when you go against theem you're not exactly a sadik you're not a sadik not to say about yourself but the reality is that everyone knows whether they're doing right or wrong everyone inside inside you you know whether you're doing right or not inside you you know that whether that deal you did is honest or not inside you you know whether what you did with that customer or not is honest or not inside you you know know whether the way you honored your wife or Dishonored your wife was right or wrong inside you you know whether you behaved right wrong inside you know everything at the end of the one of the most wicked men that ever existed says says I have sinned a is the righteous one the same Hashem he says I don't know Hashem I'm not going to listen Hashem is the righteous one I and my people are the wicked ones which means that even even knew the truth at some point maybe he didn't know in the beginning maybe he didn't he ignored it irrelevant at some point Hashem brought him to a moment of truth and he says to Moshe I'm a I'm a I'm a do TR but he lied fake CH did the fake CH and that's why next week's continues with more and more punishments so when hem tells mosu I give reward I give punishment he's not only telling Moshe he's telling us and this Mish teaches off of that says there were 10 Generations from Adam until no the says who are these 10 Generations first off there was Adam Adam he lived 930 years then there was sheth or Seth in in English then there was Enos Enos in English or Enoch in in English and now the uh you should know there is a book called The Book of Enoch seph and the Christians love talking about it but according to Judaism the page 90 and then again in page 100 talks about it that anyone that reads this book and others like it loses theira loses theira why you know was a real character as a matter of fact if you look at some of the things in this book They're pure genius says you're not alled to read it why you not alled to read it because it wasn't approved by theim it wasn't approved by theim because at the time it was written it was after the time ofes after the time of Prophecy which means that whoever wrote it did not use prophecy meaning there's no certification that this is from Hashem even though it has things that are very very mystical it has things that are Beyond this world things that some people like and enjoy talking about their angels and so on and so forth theim infiltrated the book and started putting their stot in it also they put their nonsense into it they started putting their idol worship in it and the book is not reliable and this is called a book that's like on the outside and this is one of the few books that's not allowed not permitted to even look into it not even permitted to look into it which I know means that 10 people at least today are going to go look into it but you're wasting your time you're not going you're just putting yourself in danger yeah as there um I think I think if I understand what you're saying yes if I understand what you're saying yes uh so this is one of the books that's not allowed uh simply because it has uh it's been tainted with once it's tainted you can't rely on anything that it says right wrong is indifferent intelligent not intelligent is irrelevant there are some books that are like Ben that you are allowed to read you are allowed to read gar says there are some leniencies with that specific book but was still was not considered part of the tanak B was actually the son of Jeremiah Ben was son of Jeremiah and uh very strange way of how he came mystical way how he came to life is a lot of wisdom in it very similar to The Book of Proverbs very similar but this is life wisdom that is not Torah wisdom it's life wisdom some people people read it but they say you shouldn't read it anyway why shouldn't you read it because we're brought to this world to learn Torah not just things of wisdom so the yav the yav if you guys remember I told you about his difficult life he was one of the he actually read it and he made commentary on it what did he say he said he used to read it in the bathroom so at least he gets some wisdom while even when he's in the bathroom suffering at least he can read something with some uh thing obviously T you're not allowed to learn in the bathroom unless it's for one of these Kim rabbis which is not considered uh which by the way for all of you that always ask me you know ask me questions about these different rabbis that say stupid things and not really rabbis and how do I know that's because this is what I do in the bathroom their Torah is worth bathroom that's all it's worth it's not worth actual Torah time so now the generations continued and we have Noah as the 10th Generation after creation but Noah was a son of Le and Grandson of lived uh almost a thousand years and he actually both him and and both of them lived at the time of and or Seth so which means that Noah wasn't like a uh just because he lived a 100 years after Adar died he wasn't completely disconnected his father knew Adar his grandfather knew Adar actually his grandfather outlived his father but nonetheless they both lived at the time of and knew him for some time his grandfather knew him for almost 300 years or 250 years and Le know him for about 50 or so years so now the mishna says that what's the significance of this there has to be a lesson learned the Mish says that this lesson is to show a degree of patience from because as soon as Seth was born after Seth was born wickedness entered the world even though you already had Cain and Abel and there was a murder that happened before but no one was worshiping any Idols no one was going against God people were going against each other but not against God but after Seth people started going against God people started worshiping Idols but not like today people worshiping some guy that died 2,000 years ago and think that he's going to give him a get out of jail free card or some uh people are worshiping some statue they bought for 15 bucks from the store not that they decided that God is too busy he's too busy to care about the little things he's too busy to care about whether you keep Shabbat or not he's too busy to care about whether you say before you eat he's too busy to care about your problems so they figured that he has Messengers he has Messengers he has different Angels so let's give the Angels Cav so they started saying okay so for there's this Angel for marriage there's another Angel for kids there's another Angel for this is another Angel for this is everything they made an angel and they started worshiping the Angels not that they directly went against theem like atheists go no they said no hasem runs the world but he's too busy for us which is a which is the thought of heresy why if you think that Hashem is too busy for anything if you if you think that there's anything in the world that hasem misses or doesn't know about you're 100% a heretic because you live limiting hm so does hasem care about this yes does hasem care about what happened before the sh yes doesm care about what's inside your specific brain right now yes five minutes from now yes two hours from now yes three years from now yes three years before yeah all the time once a person understands that when he says that hem was the king hem is the king hm was always be the king in essence he's not saying hashm was the king of everyone else he's the king of you first he's the king of you then everyone else because if everyone says he's the king of everyone else except me that means that hm is the king of no one so whether it's your business that you want to succeed or your marriage that you're looking for success or whatever it is or you're looking for z or so on and so forth if you think that this is beyond theem you have a serious serious problem it's beyond emuna Beyond amuna issues so first and foremost the wicked people thought wrongly about Hashem they thought that Hashem doesn't care or doesn't have time but despite all of this Hashem didn't punish them right away Hashem waited 10 Generations 10 Generations a lot of time you're talking about 1650 years 1650 56 years he waited before he punished anyone now even K Ken who killed Evan killed Abel he didn't punish him right away what did he say to Ken he said this sin is too much for you to bear this whole sin by yourself is too much for you why in essence you just killed 25% of the world why you have Adam you have not counting the Twins and the other women but just can and you have 25% of the world you just keep 25% of the world the the burden of this one sin is too much for you I'm going to give you a little bit of an atomic bomb right now but it's very important atomic bomb for you to know if you go to beet it's an extremely important atomic bomb there's another place in the that hasem says this sin is too great for you to handle which sin is this the uses a language that's very scary says the Sin making the sin is too much for you it's not Shabbat it's not wasting seed it's not into marriage even it's not even what is it talking inet you like to have nice conversations with your friends with the rabbi with the K with all the people you like to talk to them in B says the Sin is too great for any individual to Bear meaning it's such a huge sin to talk inet you have no idea what you're doing and the reason why is because says that this one person we're not talking about the whole kilas talking or sometimes the rabbi himself's talking we're not talking about that we're talking about one guy talking one guy decides hey what do you think of uh the basketball what do you think of baseball what do you think of this what do you think of that what do you think of business what do you think of the stock market whatever it is the middle of the you're going back on you do do it again everybody thinks it's like a free lunch you don't do anything you know you already did amid now thean goes over it again every once in a while everyone says amen every once in a while everyone says you know blessed is aem's name once in a while you do something when it's or every once in a while you have to do something but in reality you look around the Sho that's the perfect time to have a nice conversation everyone talks the rabbi talks sometimes the people talk sometimes this one talks that one talks and everyone feels perfectly okay about it sometimes the conversation is so interesting to people they forget that kazan's even praying they forget the kazan's praying because he says oh you finished we just finished no go back rewind what happened rewind says this sin of talking in is too much for you to handle too not for the whole for you you yourself it's too much for you to handle why someone that talks in is considered a someone that talks in is considered someone that causes other people to sin which the r says is one of the four conditions of why hasem does not let people do Chu the four types of people hasem says your punishment is not just get no is not just losing money it's not this it's not your your punishment sh worst punishment I'm Not Gon to allow you to do cha I'm not gonna allow you to do cha why you guard other people to sin go fix that first hard worst possible sin the ram says worst possible uh um punishment why you're causing other people to sin when you talk in sh even more so the to says that when you talk in sh you're causing the of the entire sh not to be heard or accepted by hasem your little measly conversation about the stock market or about this or about that gets the to leave AEM does not go to a doesn't go to a place of clowns let's go a place with jokesters your is a place of worship it's a house of hem big or small you want to make it a m that's not where is going to be so that conversation that innocent conversation the says that little conversation causes hem not to even listen to everyone's prayers not just yours everyone everyone suffers the says that if someone just knows for sure he's going to talk in sh someone know he's going to talk in he can't hold he can't contain himself he just has to talk to somebody he can't he one of these people he has to talk have a gift of God in I don't talk to anyone cuz I know it's bad some people they have a gift of inside the sh nothing El outside the sh only sh they talk says such a person it's better off they don't go to sh at all ever stay home don't go to sh the sin's too much for you to handle the sin's too much for you to handle and you should know this is not a this is not a this is not this is 1247 even more so M 151 said that there have been shs that have been destroyed over the years and some even gotten to the point of being turned into churches if you ever asked why hasem does it according to M that's the reason people talking sh people talking sh hasm says oh okay let's just turn into a place of idol worship instead might as well be might as well be someone that talks in the in volume two for seventh for for volume two says that someone who talks during the you know some people like to talk so much that even if you're praying they don't care it says that their mouth becomes T how tame what's the degree of tame what's the degree of impurity it's the same thing as if they were an idol worshipper and they're praying to God now you think God's going to listen to you the point being there's more and more I mean I could talk about this for another hour the point is you get the point when hasem says to K it's too much for you we understood but he's telling us also it's too much for you you want to talk and Sh don't go why because then you're gonna go home and cry why the answer my prayers why is this sick why is that this why am I losing money why is all these bad stuff happening to me can't shut up and sure what' you expect none of your prayers are being accepted so the prayers that we have have significant meaning especially at the time of suffering especially at the time when we have you have problems the 254b says that Noah after the Maul came to hasem he saw the world destroyed everything is destroyed there's nothing left he starts crying to Hashem Hashem says to Noah something scary says no you're a drunk Shepherd no you just saved the world you just saved Noah everyone else died everyone else died no and his family they survived the enough meaning point is that in his generation he was the best best enough to be that the whole world had to restart from him and his kids I don't think anyone here especially myself can say that if hasem want to destroy the world he choose you to start the world with if you think so I'm not there Noah was but thear says that some people rule against Noah some people say Noah made a mistake some people say Noah wasik meaning he was a righteous in his generation not because he was so righteous but because they were so wicked he passed but if he was in a generation ofu nothing they look at it that way the reality is it's quite different worth at least a million bucks at least discount says says to you are a drunk Shepherd why a drunk Shepherd why are you crying now why you crying now if you would have cried before the Maul I wouldn't have killed everyone I wouldn't have destroyed the world so I asked the question I had a difficult question okay so let's say no cried big deal me me me me he crying why are you not going to destroy the world there still a they're still worshiping Idols they're still having homosexuality bestiality stealing this every sin in the world they made okay so he cried big deal he cried says if you would have cried said it if you would have cried before the Maul I wouldn't have destroy the word what one they have to do with the other is the is there is a sages say something extraordinary if you have family friends Brothers sisters parents loved ones anyone with a pulse that you're close to even if you're not but you care about them enough to help them you have to know this you have to know that there's a secret of how to get what you want heard how to get what you want heard because they can you could talk to somebody for two years two years they're listening two years they're everything is exiting out the other say you put it do and it go goes in it's like recycled once in a blue moon something stays in there for like an hour or two and then it goes back outside also like the waist it's not going in not going in it's not going it's not working but sometimes you have somebody come to a sh you tell them five words the guy's like okay I want to do CH now no no right now okay let's come to the next sh no no now I want to do I want to do everything now what I learn now want to do CH I want to do everything I had the in in New York we started I said anyone want I did a a couple of hours young guys maybe 30 40 guys I'm thinking sh was decent it wasn't anything sh I'm thinking maybe one or two guys are GNA want maybe to put it in their car to to make themselves feel good I said anyone want every single person no give me one give me a blessing give me this give me this everyone did CH was like amazing it's like Mount sa in Brooklyn unbelievable we're going back to next week so sometimes you say something to somebody light turns on they change something changes what's the difference sometimes you talk to your brother till you're blw in the face nothing but sometimes you talk to a stranger Everything Changes what's the difference The Stranger noticed something that maybe your brother your sister or anyone who didn't listen didn't pay attention to because they're too busy with their own emotional battles The Stranger paid attention to something critical The Stranger paid attention to something that the say is the secret to success if you're going to do K or anything else that's worthwhile in the world and that is things that come out of the heart enter the heart if the stranger sees what you're saying is coming from your heart it'll enter his heart but if for a second he thinks that you have some you're like Naga you like you have a bias you want them to do it because you make money out of it you want them to do it because you want to show that you're right you want them to do it because you want to be like you you want to do for some bias reason automatically deleted even if it's right even if it's genius deleted why no one wants to be told what to do no one wants to be told what to do everyone thinks they know everything when was the last time you told your parents ABA IMA you're 100% right if ever in your life most of the time we say Aba IMA I don't think you know what you're talking about the times have changed the times have changed abaa you know 50 years ago used to be this way today it's different all of us think that our parents were always old little do we know they used to be like us and they know a lot more than us now they're just us after the experience we just don't want to listen to their experience we want our own experience Only Fools learn from their own experience smart people learn from old people's experience but sometimes you don't want to listen to anyone else why it's against your nature it's against your it's against your ego you think it's by you listening to them you're admitting that you're wrong and therefore you're a fool and therefore you're a loser and therefore you're no good and therefore you're just might as well not live you think so crazy in your mind that listening to this person no way I'll find out on my own I'll do it better on my own many people told me when I first started my business said you know what guys with experience guys that had 15 20 years on me told me I don't think you should open a broker dealer it's a big headache you should focus on being a producer your own broker you're already making millions white change you're doing well just keep going I said no I got to own it I gotta do this I got to do this I got to do this I'm GNA own I'm gonna be I regretted that decision for the rest of my career simple simple decision simple decision while I still lived in a world of falsehood was a mistake but nonetheless it was my mistake I wanted to learn make my own mistakes because I was convinced I was going to prove the world wrong not that the business is not good business is fine just wasn't for if you're good at one thing stick to it why keep moving to everything else sometimes somebody tells you advice that's worth a million dollars for free he tells you do something she tells you do something and you're like nah I don't think they're right if they were right they would charge for it if they were so good they would do it and you don't realize you just got Priceless advice for free and your ego won't let let you listen your ego won't let you change and you stay in your direction only to realize some years later that the biggest mistake of your life was not listening to free advice how can you get people that you care about listen to this free advice you have when you tell him listen you got to do chuva and the reason why you have to do chuva is because hasem is not kidding he's not your friend he doesn't care about your Investment Portfolio he doesn't care about your girlfriend he doesn't care about your boyfriend he doesn't care about anything else other than the fact of this whether it's true or not true meaning it's for him false meaning it's against him are you fulfilling his will are you going against him the way to do it is by making sure that whatever comes out of your heart comes out without a bias you're not doing it for any specific reason you're not doing because you want money from people you're not doing because you want to show them your right oh look how much I know yeah yeah I got him to do chuva yeah yeah I got him to do chuva yeah yeah I gave him the CD yeah I brought him to the lecture yeah I'm the lecture yeah I'm his father yeah really I created him it says in the Cure video I created him I created him start making the guy feel like he's nothing he wants to go back to being K not because he doesn't like God because he doesn't like you you want him to listen to you eliminate the bias now how what does this have to do with Noah in Z says that Noah cried to hem after the ma hasem said you are you're a drunk Shepherd why drunk Shepherd if you would have cried before the Maul I wouldn't have let it happen I wouldn't have done it what does one thing I have to do with the other what is him crying before the Maul have anything to do with destroying the world the that's worth a million dollars at least is that had Noah cried the people around him would have known that what he's saying is coming from the heart and if they would have seen that what he's saying is coming from the heart they would have done Chua the fact that Noah was building the ark you're building the ark they say okay what are you doing Ohm's going to destroy the world in some years I'm getting ready everyone says Ah he's he's a bias he's probably trying to make money selling these ships he's a bias he's uh trying to start a new religion he has a bias maybe he want some he has a bias he has a this he has a it didn't come from the heart what that was the difference between him and ab Ain comes to if there are 50 and I've never been there but if there's 50 people there you going to destroy it still 45 40 30 you never went there but you still care you don't know the Jew but you still care about him that's unbiased that's coming from the heart that's why even if there's 10 I'll save them all but there isn't unfortunately but at least it came from the heart and that's why the what they mean when they say was bigger went with the heart but every Friday move the chair to the other side where they are if you don't mind yeah take the chair move it to where ra is over there the thank you the that structured our prayer wanted you to remember this they wanted you to remember that Hashem is not kidding it's really important to know that hasem is not kidding it's really important to know that there is a reward and Punishment because if there isn't a reward and Punishment there's no point there's no point to doing anything that was one one question that I always M asked myself and I would constantly have the yet rationalize it for me I said if you don't have to be religious why are these guys religious why would you want to wear that clothes why would you want to have this beard why would you want to have this food why would you want to be this why would you want why for what if you're not obligated to do it what's the good out of it of course once you do it you realize there's a lot more to Judaism just fear there's love and there's beautiful things in it but until you're in it you don't understand that part it doesn't look like fun from the outside it doesn't look like fun at all sometimes even when you're in it doesn't look like fun why because you don't you're not doing it the right way if Shabbat is not fun for you that means you're doing it wrong if learning to is not fun for you that means you're doing it wrong if the MIT are not g for you that means you're doing it wrong that's all it means if you're not enjoying the mitvah like it's G that means means you're doing it wrong you're doing something wrong if the mitv are heavy to you like steel hasem says it's not my mitv there was one time a businessman came to his got to his hotel and he realized that he forgot his suitcase in the previous Hotel so he sent this helper he says go get my suitcase in the previous Hotel make sure it's the right suitcase it's black and it has a white stripe and it has a this and I give him the full description of this suitcase and some hours later the servant comes back in a helper comes back in and he's carrying the suit oh and he's like you know he's down the hall he goes it's not my suitcase he goes no it's your suitcase it's not my suitcase he goes how do you know I'm I'm I'm 50 yards away it's your suitcase he goes it's not my suitcase I know from here I know it's not my suitcase he goes wow boss you have such good eyes that you can see a special mark on your suitcase from 50 yards away he says no actually I need glasses then how do you know it's not your suitcase boss he says cuz my suitcase is full of diamonds it wouldn't be that heavy if the mitv are heavy for you it's not the mitv from you're doing it wrong because the mitv are diamonds they're easy they're enjoyable if it's not enjoyable it's something wrong with what you're doing now Hashem wanted you to remember that if you still don't understand the significance of the mitv you understand the significance of the punishment so every Shabbat right before Shabbat comes in we go to beet we sing all types of songs and we pray all types of prayers but right before our V starts it says God sat there and let the Maul happen in so many words my own words he sat and he didn't do anything he let the Maul happen why why is it mentioned right before for Shabbat Shabbat a holy day an amazing day why is it mentioned to us that he let the happen the time of no how's it connected how is it two connected okay the Maul 4,000 plus years ago Shabbat is right now okay they they stole they did I went to business I did my thing I didn't steal I didn't I didn't kill I didn't do anything hem why a little is to understand that anyone that says that hasem lets things go you could just violate Shabbat because you don't feel like it you could just drive on Shabbat because that excuse for a rabbi said it's allowed you could desecrate Shabbat because it's not convenient for you the says that anyone that says that hasem is just going to let go without punishment they themselves will get a special punishment and it's symbolic of when it says that Hashem even let the entire world the entire world be destroyed the entire world will be destroyed and his honor not destroyed so this mishna is teaching us something critical that even though Hashem has an enormous amount of patience it does have a limit none of his Natures are limited he has unlimited Mercy he has unlimited Wrath he has no image he has no likeness of an image but he did give rules to himself it's not that his patience is limited but he instilled laws for himself through his Torah to limit his patience why the world has a clock and say that the world will last 6,000 years at most at most doesn't necessarily need that has to last for 6,000 years 6,000 th years at most that's the last time and the last thousand years will be the days of mashiach and so on and so forth of the next will be a part of the next World OFA but nonetheless the maximum amount of time that this specific world has is 6,000 years meaning that Hashem restricted himself not because he is limited not because he has a certain amount of time but rather there has to be a limit if there's no limit people won't do anything the reason why he changed the generation before until the time of Noah from the time of Noah people lived long lives 300 years 500 years a thousand years even more in some cases one young stud died at 350 like oh why did he die so early oh hasem wanted him close young guy only 300 years old young guy but nonetheless hasem said that when I let them live for 900 years and 500 years and a thousand years they kept using the excuse oh my friend lived till he was a thousand I'm only 600 I'll do cha when I'm 900 I got at least another few hundred years so even though Hashem had a lot of patience he changed it he limits it he restricts himself but nonetheless theid yav it says that he still lets the continue living there's a few reasons for that one reason is because at some point something good will come out of even the even the wicked something good comes out of them everything has to have something good in it if it's aem's creation it must have something good for example puts the example of ter was not only an idol worshipper he sold idol worship he sold Idols had AEM punished ter for his sins a would have never been born that started all of Judaism that was the first person that was monotheistic in his generation ofam that converted millions of people people would have never been born so since Hashem knows the future he knows that these Wicked people have some righteous descendants and for all the generations that angered AEM he told them my patience do not does not last forever the must page 58 says that anyone that says that hasem waves his punishment of sin is in essence waving his own life he's giving his own life up he's giving up his right to live because the says that a person needs to know that if he doesn't do CH the natural consequence is that he must be punished there's no no such thing as living a life full of sins without being punished eventually because even the generation that saw things beyond our imagination they saw living angels they saw mystical things on a day-to-day basis they knew God existed that they in doubt God existed even they when they didn't do chuva eventually they had to get punished now the somebody asked me a question wonderful question two weeks in a row I didn't answer it hasem had mercy on me she didn't ask it during the qu during the Shure but I learned it today and got you answer so in t 58 in Psalm 58 it says the following 58 verse 4 it says the wicked are estranged from the womb meaning some people are literally created with a yet that's beyond the nor the speakers of falsehood went astray from birth these people that tell lies that change the Torah to their own understanding sometimes they call themselves rabbis sometimes they call themselves otherwise they were gifted a gift of speech A Gift of Gab and they use it for the wrong thing for the wrong reasons then it says the question in verse five it says and they have Venom like the Venom of a snake like a deaf Viper that closes its ear so it's not to herk to the voice of the Charmers of the most skillful casters of spells oh God smash their teeth in their mouth Shadow their MERS of the Young Lions o hasem it says there's certain types of people people that are wicked wicked people lead other people astray bad speakers calls them Charmers they tell you you're a sadik they tell you you don't have to do Chua as long as you give you're the best like this one told me that the only the only mitvah that needs to do in this generation isak all you have to do is givea you don't have to keep Shabbat you don't have to keep this you keep that so I told him listen why do you keep it then he didn't have an answer like a couple of these other rabbis that I'm debating over the last 24 hours about the whole wig situation like there's even a debate first they tried to embarrass me in public because of course you can't start a debate without embarrassing me in public that's at least that's like you know one of the first things you have to start a debate embarrass me in public I know this is good for me after that they tell me I love you though I love you though you know we're brothers and then we go back and forth and I we provide them ra and I provide them with literally a la list of proofs proofs not our opinion and I'm not even talking about by the way forget is not really proof it's just one thing one line enjoy that's the beginning and the end of the conversation we're not using that we're just using the whole concept of wig is not allowed and so on and so forth 127 put can go against it and so on and so forth so we're using a slew literally a laundry list of proofs that it's not allowed they went back we showed let's say 25 proofs they showed three against we show them even the three they showed is wrong with 50 proofs what they do they start cursing us out start insulting us personally rabbis but these rabis they tell you I love you though it's Brothers we're brothers it's this is a it's out of love Out of Love sometimes the lovers are really your haters they tell you don't have to do chva or they don't tell you anything at all and here in this T in this Psalm it says that sometimes these these people literally were born with a that's astoundingly strong they tell you one thing but in reality the truth is quite different but then the question wasn't this the question was why does David on one end say the Venom comes from the Venom of a snake and then it says a Viper both of snakes it also has it in a few other te it also has an other T so first and foremost we should know that the different types of some is lower level some is higher level different types of different types of snakes another when it mentions different types of snakes sometimes it literally means different types of snakes sometimes it's referring to as a a show that it's different types of but here this specific T is something special here it says you know that some people are born Wicked you know that those Wicked people are Charmers and they have they sweet talk you into continuous ining oh come to the club with us oh come have a drink with us oh you don't have to do chuva oh stop doing chuva and so on and so forth but at the end when you go up to Sham you can't use them as an excuse and the reason why is because sometimes the Venom is the Venom of a regular yet but sometimes a deaf Viper that closes its ear sometimes the yet it's also but it's only it's limited you know that what he was saying was wrong but you still closed your ear to the truth okay I know whatever he said let's go to the club let's steal let's this let's do it whatever you know it's a but you also had somebody come tell you the truth at the same time hasem sent you somebody tell you the truth come to Cha come to the on Tuesday night come to this come back like no no it's too late what too late you're going to the club anyway when you went to the club you left the house 12:00 at night you left the house at 12 what to come to sh at 9 it's too late oh no I'm tired what tired you haven't slept in three days you haven't complained yet now all of a sudden you're tired oh no it's long what you were in a club for five hours you didn't complain about that oh no but you're too strict did I write the Torah is it my fault God wrote it complain to him no my RBI is easy I'm like yeah he's the charmer we're talking about he's the charmer the one that's too lenient on you he's the charmer what does it say about the charmer God smash their teeth in their mouth shatter their MERS eventually punish them hem punish them hasem give us a chance because sometimes even our own we can't handle sometimes we create a we close our own ears we hear the truth no no no it's too much no no no he's not a rabbi no no no he's you no no no create excuses that's the different types of now as we Face a generation of literally orphans we know nothing we expect our leaders to tell us the truth we expect our leaders to help us give us some guidance but unfortunately a lot of the guidance is unreliable unfortunately if you go to many rabbis today they'll tell know you're okay you're you're a captured baby you're captured baby you didn't know you didn't grow up religious you didn't grow up uh in Yesa it's okay don't worry about it it's fine you're fine the way you are the first and foremost I'm going to give you a proof that it's complete nonsense from the Torah and second of all I'm going to give you another proof that they're full of nonsense that even they don't believe it themselves regardless of whether this is coming from kabad or from this one or from that one they're all full of it I'm sick of hearing it already sick of hearing people giving themselves an excuse to go against theem sick of it so much to the point we just want to vomit how much they lie to people and they lie to themselves instead of being focused on getting people to do chuva they fight with me about wigs they fight with me about the rebi being mashiah they fight with me about all types of things that are not relevant to anything and they fight with me and they tell me no you're too hard on people like I wrote the Torah everyone's a everyone's a captured in his generation so page 68 a ra and both said our mishna is dealing with a case of a child who was captured and raised among the Gentiles IE or a convert who converted and lived among the Gentiles meaning a convert who converted on his on his own but he didn't move to a Jewish neighborhood he didn't move to a Jewish uh community and he went back to his old ways and he was surrounded only by go so both are considered a both are considered like a captured baby since such a person never knew about Shabbat never knew about Shabbat this captured baby or this uh convert that lived among the Gentiles never knew about Shabbat he's liable only to one for all of his violations he's liable for one of the he has to do a Corban for violating Shabbat if let's say for example he VI this is specifically talking about how many sacrifices do you have to bring for violating Shabbat do you have to make a sacrifice for every sin or it's one sacrifice for all the sins you made on that specific Shabbat that's the debate so continues and it says but if he recognized the Shabbat he understood that Shabbat exists he knows what Shabbat is and eventually he forgot it meaning he knew what Shabbat was he grew up you know there some some in his neighborhood some kabad people came to his office some breast people gave him some Amun CDs some other Orthodox people told him to come for Shabbat he saw some people go to bees he even himself went to bees once in a blue moon he went for Yip he went for he went for Shabbat once in a while whatever he knows he knows what Shabbat is he's not completely like a polar bear in the middle of Greenland he knows he's liable for each and every shabat that he ever desecrated they're talking about specifically a they're not talking about just someone that's knowledgeable someone that's knowledgeable that violates Shabbat knowingly it's death penalty but someone who grew up in a secular house grew up in a secular house or he fell off or he converted but didn't move to a Jewish community and he didn't get proper education or he grew up he knows but doesn't know specifically says he still has to pay a punishment for each and every single Shabbat he ever violated never does it say what these rabbis or excuse for Rabbi say oh it's okay forgives forgets don't worry it's okay you're going to be in G withu the re is going to take care of you this one's going to take care of you they write big checks that no one can clear now as far as ala not from the actual Shalom wrote The Following chapter 8 page six writes the following someone that violates Shabbat in public drives his car in Shabbat smokes his cigarette on Shabbat everyone knows he doesn't keep Shabbat 10 people know he doesn't keep Shabbat he doesn't actually literally have to be outside and 10 people see him faresa means 10 people know he doesn't keep Shabbat so even if he smokes a cigarette at home or he watches TV at home or he cooks at home or he works somewhere else but everyone 10 people at least know that he doesn't keep Shabbat that's considered Faria that's considered a public sin says if he violate Shabbat whether it's because he wants to make God angry or other Jews angry or he just simply desires to just feels like it P he just feels like going to the beach on Shabbat he feels like taking a shower on Shabbat he feels like cooking on Shabbat he feels like working onab not because he wants to make anybody mad he loves God he loves you he loves me he loves everybody sadik but he feels like doing it doesn't feel like keeping Shabbat Raad who made all types of leniencies wherever he could he says you're allowed to lend him money and charge him interest now for anyone who does not know in Judaism there are a few no NOS what's a no no no no meaning no no here no no no what's a no no if you lend another Jew money and charge him interest you officially losta meaning you have to fix it if to find this Jew and give him the money back give him the interest back yeah but it was millions of dollars your problem your problem you are not allowed to lend another Jew money if you're a Jew and he's a Jew you're not allow to lend the money in charge of Interest yeah but he needed it good lend the money no but it was I needed the money for something else so don't lend them you're not allowed to make money off of Interest off of another Jew unless he's not considered a Jew if he's a if he's a non-jew charge your interest enjoy it's a business if he's a Jew he's your brother not let to make money off your brother that way if you sell products and so on you can make money but if it's interest you're not allowed to such an extent that if you charge your brother another fellow Jew interest you literally lose it's the same degree asab gives us a it's a atomic bomb it says if he violates Shabbat charge him interest why he's not considered Jewish his Judaism is on suspension now many people that have do not charge interest to other Jews even if they know that they violate Shabbat and the reason why is because they're always scared that maybe Al they all do chv they come to the show they do chuva they do cha you have to give him the money back who wants that problem so now you have you have the one of the biggest Giants in history write it in Al but then they're going to tell you yeah but we don't hold by the r We Hold by uh somebody else we hold by somebody else pick one hold somebody else to create a new law fine and going prove to you from them from their own words whoever says these things that they're full of it why if let's say for example T uses the term a captured baby to first of all tell you that this actually happened in history the go actually captured some of the Jewish babies and hid them and made and told them they were not Jews this happened during the Holocaust this happened before and so on but also to grab your attention and make you understand the significance sometimes we use Parables and analogies in order to grab your attention Shalom said that some people fool themselves so much to such an extent that they believe that the parable is reality they still stay in the parable you tell them a parable about a ship they think they actually own a ship they want the ship back at the end of the story now all of these people they use the parable of termine as we mentioned a captured baby now let's say there was Shalom shom there was a captured baby let's say there was literally a captured baby some captured a baby and you happened to work in the building you saw the captured Baby you saw his captured baby Rasha captured baby Rasha captured baby Rasha now I have asked you a question would you just say ha bad luck for this baby I'll just let him stay captured he captured him fair and square leave him captured leave him as is he captured him he took the baby it's wrong it's not my problem I didn't capture he captured him let somebody else deal with him would any of you even imagine such an awful thought you saw a captured Baby you saw and you just left him you let him stay that way no one with a little bit of conscience would ever do such a thing why evil so even if you still believe that and this whole generation is full of of captured babies and no one knows and no one knows you're still not allowed to let them stay captured you're still not allowed to still not tell him the truth and say listen you were captured baby for 30 years you didn't know about Shabbat you didn't know about inter marriage you didn't know about kosher you didn't know about anything you were even a Christian you were even an idol worshipper you were even this you were even that fine wake up it's all nonsense I'm going to take you out of being captured why I have a heart you don't have to have a brain just a heart to know that you can't leave this baby captured you cannot use this excuse everyone's captured they all going to be okay and we'll finish off with this people ask me this question all the time about how to get other people to do Chua how to rebuke how to this and how to that let's ask the so we know the actual answer is valid and not just an opinion the r six says when one person wrongs another the latter should not remain silent and despise him in his heart somebody did something wrong you can't keep it in your heart don't keep it in your heart why this could be turn into something much much worse describes this types of hatred in your heart as more severe than anything else why because it continues to build because as long as it stays in your heart you can't fix it no one knows eventually you explode and it becomes a disaster in 7 it says it's a mitzvah for a person who sees that his fellow Jew has sinned or is following an improper path to rebuke him to correct his behavior to inform him that he's causing himself a loss by his own evil Deeds as we learn from Leviticus 1917 you shall surely admonish your colleague so it's a r specifically says it that you must that's from the Torah 63v you must rebuke your brother you see him sinning you must rebuke him fine so here we see that this is not just a figment of my imagination this is obviously a mitvah in the T now as we continue in this it says the following how should you rebuke him first rebuke him privately rebuke him by speaking to him patiently and gently informing him that he is only making these statements for his colleagues own welfare to allow him to have a merit Anda you say it to him nicely and try to tell him listen for own good the Maham explains that this is only if this person made a private sin meaning you saw him make a sin on his own no one else is affected by it but if the person sees another person making a public sin like speaking in sh like we talked about before he must rebuke him immediately in to prevent the a desecration of God's name now if he accepts the rebuke the rambam continues it's good if not then one should rebuke him a second time and a third time and indeed continue because he's obligated to rebuke his colleague who does wrong until this colleague of his either strikes him and tells him I'm not going to listen until he hits you up to how many times the r says in 100 times and some say unlimited now Whoever has the possibility of rebuking sinners and fails to do so someone sees another person violating Shabbat doesn't say anything he's a rabbi tells him where to park instead of telling him that he should do Chua someone who sees another person sinning and doesn't rebuke him he is now responsible for that sin sourceb page 54b and also 93a the rambam says for he had taken the opport to rebuke The Sinner meaning that now the sin is not only on The Sinner it's also on the one who didn't rebuke why is this considered so awful because watching a sinner continue to sin is one of four things that the rambam says in chapter 4 one is one of four things that hasem gets angry about to a point where he does not allow the person that did not rebuke do Chua there four conditions one of them is causing other people to sin another one is actually letting other people sin and not rebuke them the first person who admonishes a colleague should not speak to him harshly until he becomes embarrassed and he gives you some sources from Leviticus but from this we learned that it's forbidden for a person to embarrass a fellow Jew meaning you shouldn't embarrass him for no reason unless unless this no embarrassment part only applies when there's matter between one man and another but when it comes to spiritual matters meaning someone is it's beyond the private if the transgressor does not repent after being admonished in private you told him to stop talking and CH you told him to stop violating Shabbat you told him to stop stealing and he didn't listen he continues then you are allowed then he may be put the shame in public public and his sin may be publicized and he may be subject to abuse scorn and curses until he does Chua as was the practice of all the prophets of am all of the prophets of am is all the if they had to get to that level that's what they would do so this whole issue of no listen you shouldn't embarrass people because it's a uh you know it's like murder it's like this it's like that yes but if it when it's for their own good and they just don't know it if push comes to shove you have to do it so the point is that obviously we don't want to get to that point we don't want to embarrass anyone in public we don't want to embarrass anyone period but right now we're at a such a horrible stage such a horrible stage that were around the corner from mashia he's literally going to arrive any day any year any time and no one's ready as much as I would love to wish for the mashia to come tomorrow honestly I say shalom because if he came now we'd be in the worse shape than we were in Egypt most people don't understand this when was saved from Egypt it wasn't all of them it was only 20% in some cases they say even less not all of am was was saved from the slavery of Egypt the ones that didn't want to do chva which were 80% or more hasem killed them in the plague of darkness in the next week's parasa so a few other places says RAB and several other sages say that if the Messiah comes we want him to come we just don't want to see him it's going to be so difficult the yet is going to be so big so strong be very it's impossible right now we have that yet right now we don't know who's the right Rabbi who's the wrong Rabbi we don't know who's telling the truth who's telling us lies there's a very very simple way there's a very simple way to know if he's telling you lies or not two things two things you have to know two things one is what he saying coming from the heart or does he have a bias if he's telling you to do something because he wants to make money out of it if he's telling you to do something because he wants you to give him a certain position if he's telling you to do something because he wants you to pick a certain side if he's telling you to do something because he want you to be a certain way there's a bias but that by itself does not necessarily mean it's wrong it just means there's a bias it means it's not necessarily purely coming from the heart but even more so even more important than anything else is what he's saying justified by the Torah can you prove it by looking in the Tor and says you know what I'm going to go up to sh and I can use this verse to justify what my R told me to do you can't go up to Sham and say no no he told me to do he told me to do so he told you to do we'll punish him too doesn't doesn't absolve you from sin just like the rambam says the one that didn't rebuke he also gets punished he doesn't say that it relieves the one that sinned from punishment that never happens that's what this mishna is all about the mishna is about that no one has a free right no one could just say I didn't know or I was secular or I was young or I was old or I was this there's no excuses in sh this is the most valuable lesson that you can possibly learn because once you understand that Hashem is not your body he's not your friend and he's definitely not going to let go of anything then we can start doing chuva then we can start taking chuva seriously and chuva is not impossible chuva is not impossible at all most important part of chuva is to make sure that you regret you regret what you did I wish I didn't do it I wish I didn't waste seed I wish I didn't go with that girl I wish I didn't go with that guy I wish I didn't violate Shabbat I wish I didn't skip class I wish I didn't you know make fun of the rabbi I wish this at least feel bad about it that already shows a you know what he feels bad second thing is stop sinning stop doing it so for all of those people that are trying to do cha the most important part there's other steps to Cha which we'll talk about tomorrow night but the most important steps are the first two for you feel bad about what you've done and not just say but I'm gonna do it again tomorrow I violated shabat my whole life but I'm gonna continue violating shab until uh till my business grows until this until that and the second thing is stop sinning simply stop sinning not just feel bad but stop doing it so if you're in the process of conversion you cannot continue hanging out with your idol worshipping friends stop telling me that you're trying to convert them too don't convert anyone convert yourself if you're in a situation of into marriage you have to stop at the very least being intimate yes I know it's hard yes I know whatever stop sinning if you're in a situation where your business is dishonest business stop stealing stop doing things that are dishonest and so on and so forth for every other sin that's out there at the very least not only feel bad but stop s be genuine About It by stop sinning stop pretending everyone wants to you know a quick pill to cure everything there's no quick pill to cure everything takes time to do chuva takes time to understand what you need to do it takes time but doesn't take time to make this decision to make a decision that you feel bad for whatever sins you know of and whatever sins you don't know of takes a moment to decide to stop sinning takes a moment okay I don't have the entire wardrobe of being modest but I'm definitely not going to proactively be immodest a woman can't just change a wardrobe over overnight if you ever see a woman shop it takes a year just to get one dress so to get the modest claes may take time it may take a week it may take a month it may take a year whatever it takes but to proactively be continue to be emodest with your behavior with your words with your clothing with so on that you can stop immediately so all of the mitv there's a minimum a minimum level of CHA you have to begin with you can't say no no no once I get married then I'll figure it out or once I do this then I'll figure it out because the decision of what you need to figure out are now that's what hasm wants from you that's what hasm is expecting from you that's what you can actually hold in your hand if the mashia does arrive sooner than all of us thought if life ends sooner than all of us thought shom that's something you could hold in your hand okay I started Chu I didn't complete Chua I started I felt bad I stopped sinning at least on purpose that at least you could hold that's something you could say to look he says you know what you're right okay you didn't do everything you didn't do everything but at least you were genuine that's something you could hold that's something you could that's that's that's something meaningful that's a diamond that's a Priceless Diamond but don't go to him and expect the rabbi card oh no no but the rabbi lighted me for 20 years Okay so oh no but the rabbi told me I'm allowed to drive on Shabbat okay so yeah but the rabbi said I'm allowed to wear a wig on me and my wife okay so oh but the rabbi said this and the rabbi said okay so you learned 20 years to how to make a million dollars why didn't you learn two minutes how to keep Shabbat why don't you learn two minutes that it's not allowed to enjoy how to worship why don't you learn two minutes how to keep kosher two minutes not 20 years you can't use the rabbi card even if your Rabbi is M himself you can't use it you can't use it that's what we need to know [Music] [Applause] [Music] he [Music]
