Behar Bechukotai For God, AFTERLIFE, Oral Torah Vs. World, ARTSCROLL GIFT - Stump The Rabbi (163)

does God benefit from your Mitzvah if he doesn't then what's the point in fact if he doesn't then why does it say in this week's that you have to do which literally translates to a Shabbat rest for God so wait you need to rest for God you need to let the land rest for God as if God benefits from your rest this is a question that we you have to answer with the right answer because everything is on a line as we see gives us an extraordinary amount of scary threats if we get this wrong if we get the Torah wrong if we follow the wrong path the threats that are in there the punishments that are in there literally will make your body shake so we have to get it right because many people are getting it wrong and even though we've addressed it multiple times in the past we always like to find more friends more holy sages that will give us the clarification of what does it mean to do a mitzvah for God once and for all we're not only going to see what the answer is but we'll see that the answer has clear sources that are indisputable regardless of which Avenue you look at this precedes a whole list of questions from a live crowd from different people around the world to talk about different things that interest them whether it's the heresies of the Black Hebrew Israelites or Christianity or Islam or it's interesting questions about what do you do when a bunch of Yesa make fun of you for learning art scroll gar is there any value in what they're saying should I listen to them or are they considered Heretics is it a sin is it a Mitzvah this and much more including even teaching young children about reward and Punishment how do you do it he's only five six years old lot of interesting things to discuss tonight enjoy it share it support it when you can and sometimes push yourself till you can and most importantly remember the only reason why we're here is so we could be holy we're back here on our Wednesday night sh stump the rabbi Series where after some you

Facebook and uh anywhere else that is necessary um just whoever is new to this year just stay tuned usually I speak for about an hour about different things that are very relevant to everybody's life uh and then after that we start taking the questions so uh uh we're not going to forget and then the questions and answer session is pretty much as long as you guys have questions that are relevant and as long as gives me energy we keep going sometimes it goes on for a couple of hours sometimes longer sometimes a little less but usually it's no less than an hour of questions tonight's sh will be

contact me on Whatsapp and many other ways you can contact me okay with that being said we're going to get started the greatest sages that uh we've ever had uh have continuously told us the same thing regardless of what the generation uh you know wanted if it was the generation to uh the destruction of the bet mikdash the generation of mosenu the generation of the Enlightenment movement a couple of hundred years ago and the reality is is that one of the things we see as the common denominator with the sages is that they will always stick up for the truth but in addition to that had principles and this is not the 13 principles of fate of the rambam but rather the 13 principles of midot of character traits that rant made sure that he himself checks himself each day in these 13 different attributes as well as as Tom one of those attributes is truth to obviously be a person of truth but another one is determination that whatever you're determined to do do it energetically so sometimes it would seem that we are discussing perhaps the same exact issue uh you know again but in a different Manner and uh it seems like why won't we discuss something else the truth is that the entire Torah is like uh no different than your nervous system it's just a spiritual nervous system and many times all of these uh matters connect and it's no different than this week's double portion double uh Torah portion that we have and unveiling a lot of different things to us now in the beginning of the we see that is commanding mhu as he did many times before and after to speak to am is and give them a specific set of instructions and the first set of instructions that he tells them speak to the children of isra and say to them when you enter the land that I am giving you the land shall observe a Shabbat rest for hasem so this is the mitvah of mitvah of where the land has to rest every seven years and the Torah goes into the details of this mitvah why does the land have to rest every seven years there's obviously many teachings about it how do the people that are farmers that depend to make a living uh on uh you know growing uh their crops every single year how do they make a living there's an answer for that we've addressed a lot of these things in the past but tonight we're going to address the obvious something that perhaps has been staring Us in the face many many times and we've addressed it to a certain extent in the past but of course in the way of you always want to find more friends you always when you when you have a Insight of tah you have a truth of tah it's not enough for you yourself to know it and it's not even enough for you to find one Sage that says the same you want to find friends you want to find as many sages as you possibly can saying the same thing the only thing is Hashem is not going to give it to on a silver platter you have to find it now the question that we all have to answer if we want to be real true true Servants of hem is not about shita itself in fact it has nothing to do with shmita but rather something that is repetitive in the Torah and even starts as early as seph the Book of Genesis right off the beginning where Hashem says Shabbat Shabbat what is does it mean Shabbat leem literally it translates Shabbat forem so wait are we keeping Shabbat for God as if to say shalom but to say God needs the Shabbat because that's actually what it says again here it says that the land has to a observe the Shabbat a Shabbat leem a rest Shabbat also means rest a rest for hasem now we have countless verses in the Tor that tell us that hem uh he doesn't he doesn't sleep he doesn't rest so how could it say if one end rest for Hashem and then it says he doesn't rest so what does it all mean this is why we always have to go to the commentary to the commentary of the sages that we received already at the time of Mount sa because this will elaborate every single point now of course this is extremely important and the reason why this is important is because you may not see what's on the line when you first see this verse whether you translate it the right way or you translate it the wrong way what's the big deal on one end you could easily look at the Hebrew and say well it says Shabbat for God you look at the simple English translation by Art scroll and many others and you'll see it says the same thing Shabbat for God now why do we need to delve into this any further I mean it says it so we just simply take it at face value the problem with doing that is that the Torah is not literal the Torah is not a literal Harry Potter book or history book book there are meanings in every single thing and one that does not take that into account has lost everything and by that I mean that if they go on towards the rest of the Paras they're going to learn many more details but they're only going to find out what's on the line that if they get these details wrong in the next par that we have this week which is where at first tells us to follow the Tor to learn Tor to observe the T and the Commandments but if we don't he gives us several dozen verses full of the worst possible threats you could ever imagine things that literally you wouldn't even want to happen to your enemies would happen to somebody that gets this answer answer wrong why because if you get this answer wrong that means you are incapable of following the Torah because you're not sure who you're following it's the very basis of the Torah if it says Shabbat for God but it doesn't mean Shabbat for God but yet you think it's Shabbat for God you have a very serious fundamental problem and that problem could be very costly as the Tora says that if you do not accept my word and will not perform all of these Commandments and you will despise my statutes if your soul Rejects My ordinances as to not perform all my commandments so that you violate my commandment I too will do this to you meaning the deal is off the protection is off the sustenances off all of the good things that a person wants from God the deal's off and if that's not enough to get a person to change God continues to give us more warnings of things that would happen things that have happened to us multiple times throughout history whether it's strengthening the enemy to the point where the enemy became Superior over us or it's stopping the rain stopping the money coming in stopping the food food coming in destroying the crops in the fields or if it's simply losing all blessings from all places whether inside the home or outside of the home and that's even before Hashem says that he will exact retribution for you where he'll actually take revenge against those people with a plague with war with famine a fury of decrees will be put on those that violate the Covenant destroying everything and anything relevant to them literally removing them from the Earth but in a very painful and slow process now anyone that wants to know more details about it perhaps we'll have some time to do some more later but you could also watch some of my other lectures about we have to go back to how do we get this to stop I don't want to get threatened by God I don't want to go to Gom I certainly don't want to live Gom in this world so obviously I got to get this question right what does it mean Shabbat for God what does it mean anything for God when it says for God does it mean for God like you would say to your wife or your husband this is for you as in you did this for them or does it mean something else as I've mentioned to you in the past the t is something that we got at Mount saai as mosenu spoke to the people of Israel teaching them the Torah he also interpreted the Torah for them and that's called a talum onus the righteous convert from a couple of thousand years ago made this much more popular again where for a period of time this became less popular where it used to be that the person that's reading from a Torah scroll would read and then there would be somebody that would do the tarum at the same time allowing the entire Community to not only hear the Torah but also understand what's being said so the tum is very much a foundation of the Torah that we got at Mount saai and not something that was written a thousand or 1500 years later like other parts of the tah that were orally and then later on put in in p uh you know ink to paper so the tum of the onus gives us the insight and ulos says every single time that you will see in the Torah where it says anything remotely close to for hasem or something referencing that Hashem would have any type of physical uh uh uh any feelings or any physical attributes he always clarifies what it means with the tarum and he says in a meaning the Shabbat relinquishing before hasem not to Hashem but before Hashem why does he do this says thean and also the another couple of friends that we found that without OS the Hebrew leem which translates literally to forem might be misinterpreted to imply that the respite in working the land is needed by him which is impossible for hasem Hashem needs and lacks nothing Ono therefore explains that the verse means that the resting of the shita should be before AEM and for his sake not for the sake of improving the land as Farmers sometimes do when they leave a field to lie fow for a season so encos says this and then Rashi follows os's lead explaining that the land shall rest for the sake of AEM meaning rather than to increase the output meaning that there would be a benefit in letting the land rest which as we discussed actually last night thear says that if somebody has a field he shouldn't plant on the entire field but rather only on half of it because that will allow one half to recover and one one half to produce the following year the one that recovered will produce double what it would typically uh produce and then the one that produced the first year will rest and this way the land will not only produce and stay healthy but actually produce more as a result of this process than if you would have planted in the entire field so many times people say okay yeah I'll keep the because it's actually good for my land so the Torah says no no no you're not supposed to do it not supposed to do this Mitzvah because it's good for your land although that's a reality it's still not the reason we do the Mitzvah you're doing this for the sake of hem meaning in order to follow his mitv not because he needs it because that's impossible as the sages say as God needs nothing but rather this is your way of serving your Creator and fulfilling his Commandments because that's your job that's your role in the world the master the king does not need the servant but the servant needs the king so here we see that a couple of sages were just added to the list of a slew of sages that we already have that have clarified this big question or at least what seems to be a big question for some people of for Hashem not being literally for Hashem but of course we want more and we got it our own very dear ramban Nadi spoke to us and told us that there's more to see there's more to learn and in fact even if you want to disagree with the tarum you could disagree but still never arrive at a heretical conclusion how could this be well first thei says that Rashi means that one should observe the sabatical year with the intent of fulfilling God's Commandments and not for personal gain and the mrai writes that the ramban also understood Rashi this way but the ramban does not agree with Rashi in fact does not agree with unus so that does he think like the Heretics that we've you know fought against for the last several years that say that God needs you God forbid to even say that but we had to just for the sake of entertainment but he doesn't agree with what the Uno says what does he say then although Rashi has certainly Foundation behind what he's saying because as the ramban mentions what the Rashi is saying is based on based on the so one of the foundations of the oral Torah and of course based on ulos still there is more to understand meaning he's not saying he's wrong but there's more to understand without even going out of the way and changing the words says our Sages of blessed memory did not mean this in their Exposition meaning he didn't mean what Rashi says but rather they meant something else well for all resting prescribed by the tah on the festivals too are surely supposed to be for the sake of hem yet scripture does not State the expression for hasem regarding any of regarding any of the uh holidays rather it states for instance that there shall be a rest for you regarding rosashana and it states on yum Kip a day of rest a day of complete rest for you so what he's saying first is that it cannot be that this rest for hem is something else because if it would be something else then you would have to say that all of the other holidays would follow suit meaning they would also have to be rest for hem but in the holidays it says rest for you you personally so obviously here the Torah specifically uses the words rest for you meaning for God and not for you there's a reason why there's a difference between Shabbat and everything else so the ramban brings the SRA which is where rashi's common is based on it says the exact quote of the is as follows a Shabbat rest for Hashem just as it was stated in regards to the Shabbat of creation a Shabbat forem same thing that was mentioned in Exodus chapter 20:1 so too was stated in regards to the seventh year Shabbat for hasem rather the explanation of the expression Shabbat for hasem your God that stated in regards to shabbat of creation meaning the weekly Shabbat of that day he rested and was refreshed and for this reason scripture there continues that you shall not do any work and that is why the sages said in that the same expression is stated regarding the sabatical year because it is seventh in the cycle of years just as the weekly Shabbat is seventh in a cycle of days thus the sages have alerted us to one of the Great mystical Concepts among Tor the torah's mystical Concepts one of which R izra has already alluded us to for he wrote the meaning of Shabbat for hasem is that the sabatical year the shita year is like the Shabbat day and the mystical concept of the days of the world is alluded to here in this place now cup your ears and listen to what I am permitted to let you know says the ramban in the wording which I choose to impart to you and if you Merit you will gain understanding of this esoteric concept we have already written in the Torah portion of bit that the six days of creation are representative of all the days of the duration of the world and the seventh day is representative of the future Shabbat for Hashem for during that seventh millennium there will be a Shabbat for the great God and this is as we have learned in the Mish on the seventh day what him what song would the Levis recite the ssal would be a song a for the Shabbat me Shabbat Psalm 92 the Shabbat day referring to the Future time that will be holy a shabat and rest for the one of eternal life now the days of the week are in illusion to that which god did did in process of creation and the years serve as an illusion to that which will transpire during creation unfolding of the events of all the days of the existence of the world and for this reason the Torah was more strict regarding the sabatical year than it was regarding all the other negative Commandments as it decreed the punishment of exile for transgressing it just as it is strict regarding the punishment of for forbidden sexual relations it is stated then the land will be appeased for its sabatical now here the ramban is in so many words without going away from the literal wordss explains to us what does it mean when you see something is for AEM of course ulos Rashi mrai and several other sages say oh it's not for Hashem it is for yourself you are doing something for yourself as your servitude of Hashem on the other hand the ramban says you don't need to go so far and say that this is a way to serve AEM but rather you need to Simply understand that every word in the Torah is a world in itself and in fact when it says Shabbat forem that is telling you that it's connected to a different place in the Torah where it says Shabbat forem and part of the rules of interpreting the Torah the the uh biblical exegesis is to understand that anytime there are uh sentences words that are exactly the same they have something similar they have something to learn from each other and he says here when it says Shabbat forem it is simply telling you that just like the first time it mentioned that chabbat forem is referring to the years of the world this is referring to the uh ultimately when the uh the um the world itself will end 6,000 years that this world uh exists will cease and the seventh Millennium will be a completely different Millennium a millennium where it's going to be a world to come a different world as the page 997a says that a day of God equals a thousand years this is uh from the uh T chapter 90 verse4 and in essence what the ramban is telling us is that of course if it says for hasem it has to mean for hasem but don't think for a moment that for hasem means what you think it would mean for hasem like for a person because that is impossible it is impossible to interpret the Torah and ever say that anything that we do is something that God would benefit from because that in itself creates a imperfect God a needy God a non good because anything that needs anything is thereby a servant of the person or the thing that is in charge of what it needs so if God had something that would control him in any way whether would be feelings or would be uh uh any type of uh sacrifice or any type of Mitzvah that would in itself be contrary to him being God so the ramban says even if you don't want to understand what the tarum that we've had for the last 3,000 years says which is for God is not God needing anything but it's rather for his sake meaning it's before God you don't want to understand it fine that means you want to understand something deeper something cabalistic something from parts of the secrets the deepest secrets of the Torah that I'm allowed to tell you he says therefore this four Shabbat this four God whole thing it's referring to Simply the timeline of the entire world how long will this world exist for that's it so here we see that you don't have to get confused about whether we can do something for God like the Heretics say because as the sages have said time and time again it is impossible now unfortunately people that do not learn sometimes have more arrogance than people who do learn in fact the more a person knows the more humble he becomes because they realize the Torah is endless so I unlearned ignoramus can easily tell you listen this could be your interpretation perhaps he got uh his own understanding is different the problem with that is that it cannot be because we have what's called a Mas Mas means a tradition that we have since the time of Mount siai in fact the first Mish in says exactly this m received the Torah from Sinai and passed it on to yosua yosua to the elders the elders to the prophets the prophets passed it on to the men of great assembly and the men of great assembly made three statements be deliberate in judgment raise up many students and make off fence around the toah so here the first Mish tells us that the Torah did not just get found in some cave or it's just something that we're not really sure what happened to it along the way in fact there is a precise list of names of all of the transmitters of the torat since the time of mosenu it first starts with mosenu he got at Mount Si all three major religions in the world whether it's Judaism the truth or the falsity and Islam even they agreed that mosenu got the Tora in Mount Si and G gave it to am is perhaps what they don't realize is that he didn't just give it to everybody and there you go guys we're finished I'm out of here I'm going on vacation for 40 years he had to leave a leader that's going to continuously teach the people and that leader had to have another other leaders that are going to teach the people because there was literally many many millions of people and there was also Generations that followed them so mosenu he received the to directly from God at Mount sa he passed it on to yesu benun Yeshua benun gave it to the elders these were the greatest sages of that time all of them were prophets but prophets at the time of mhu were different than prophets of later times hence the reason why the elders gave it to a different set of prophets meaning Isaiah Jeremiah Zacharia mikah and all of the other prophets that you have mentioned in the tanak and the prophets trans it to the men of great assembly these are 120 great sages some of which were actually the last prophets at the time of the bet mikdash but there are others that the tah mentions by name from generation to generation the different leaders that transmitted the Torah to make sure that each and every single person that's learning today 3,334 years after we received re the tah knows there's never been a Lost Generation even though were even though the were times where many Jews went to idolatry many Jews sinned needless to say many Jews got punished many Jews became slaves many Jews were killed still the transmission of the Torah has been transmitted uninterrupted for the last 3,334 years there's actually precise list of names now why is this so important the my manad he comments he comments on this and he says that Moshe received this tah at Mount sa and the Torah itself was transmitted throughout the generation after mhu through a precise way that we need to know in order to have faith in it and he says we know exactly who the names are there's a list of names for anyone that wants it I can send it to you but he says the biggest part is to understand that the oral tah was eventually put into writing by RI and rabi did not just include his own opinions but rather included all of the great sages opinions from throughout all of the times before him and in fact even included the opinions of sages that were wrong the opinions of sages that were not chosen the opinions of sages that even changed their mind in order to show each and every person throughout all of the generations that it's not just black and white this is what it is and that's it everything was reviewed everything was revealed everything was debated in order to ensure that whatever we have this is the truth and there is nothing else to talk about now parts of the Tor are the MIT and parts of their different types of MIT some of these these I should say are called meaning we already know this for sure from the time of M there's nothing to argue about we know this from the time of M raenu it's been a fact since then there's nothing to debate about there are a few dozen of those MIT 30 to be exact such as the measurements of things the uh uh the of the uh rule of the number of pair gifts uh the type of ink that must be used for Torah Scrolls uh the type of parchment that's used for a mua Forin the laws of the Jews that were living uh in Amon and mo that that they have to give and so on and so forth different MIT that there's no debates whatsoever about but then there are different categories of mitv where this oral tradition is mentioned in the introduction to the mishna by the rambam and he says the explanations that were received directly from Moshe that are hinted in the verse and that could be drawn from the text by means of logical reasoning such laws may not be disputed and when someone says this is what I received there could be no further debate second type of category is that laws that are known as which cannot be proven as explained but these laws may not be disputed either then there are laws that would derive by reasoning about which there may rise differences of opinion and in such cases the law is decided on the basis of the majority View and such disputes come about when different rational approaches are used and therefore the rabbi said if it is stated uh if it is a stated ala then we must accept it but if it is open to discussion let us debate it then you have the preventative measures that the prophets and the SES established in each generation in order to make a hedge for the Torah as hasem commanded us to do so in uh Leviticus 18 vers 30 these are the the uh uh uh is one of the examples uh that was adopted by the sages that no one is allowed to oppose uh this in any way this is a way that they interpreted t uh one of the ways then you have the laws that were enacted by the rabbis in order to pre preserve Harmony among the people which neither add nor take away from any Mitzvah and practices which would be useful for promoting Torah observance these enactments are called takot or customs and you're forbidden to disregard either of them as says in he who breaches the fence will be bitten by a snake and then he also included in there dissenting opinions meaning opinions of sages that didn't agree or opinions that simply that were not chosen and the point being is is that the ramban is telling us we have an exact precise understanding how our Torah was transmitted throughout all of the generations where there is no debate of whether our Torah is true or not for anyone that's learned in Torah the debate is only among ignorant people the debate is only among people that choose to be Heretics because they believe they have something better to sell and that's why the rambam in the very same first M comments and he says that one of the things that the sages taught us is to let fear of Heaven be upon you for the Torah also includes a commandment to fear fear God as it's written you shall fear God your lord and our sages said in the uh the serve him with love and serve him with fear and one who loves God will not neglect the Commandment while one who fears God will not transgress his warning meaning the two are necessary but the foundation is fear why because if you love God you're not going to ignore the mitv but you may still sin and in order for a person to be righteous it's critical for them not to sin intentionally at least ideally a person needs to have both fear and love and thus fear plays a great role says the rambam as a Spur to observance of the negative Commandments particularly those mitv that emphasize obedience here this last word that the ramban mentions is that fear of Heaven is necessary in MIT that require obedience one of the things that we must be obedient to is the tradition itself if we have our sages from the mishna to thear to the the and so on all of the great sages are giving us a tradition we have no permission to change that way we have no permission to go a different direction even if what we say makes more sense to us at least in fact the fifth m in chapter one says someone who neglects the study of T ultimately will inherit will ultimately inherit hell see here the rambam joins the ramban in telling us that even if you want to understand something different from what it's said you must take into account that whatever your understanding is it has to be standing on top fear of Heaven if it's Standing On Top fear of Heaven which means that you're not going to interpret things according to whatever make sense to you but rather you're going to interpret things according to what is permitted because it doesn't disagree with the tradition then you're going in the right direction but if you're going to start interpreting things the way you simply decide that you want to then at the very least find yourself friend find yourself other sages that have said something to what you're you know said the same thing you are now what the public doesn't realize is that if you have even if you're the biggest Rabbi today and you're bringing an Insight an understanding and your understanding contradicts other great sages from the previous generation and no one agrees with you your understanding is simply by default wrong and no one's allowed to accept it on the other hand if no one talks about the subject that you talked about that's a different issue rare to find such a thing but needless to say that's a different issue so if you're going to say listen I have a new understanding that God needs needs us if you want to bring that to light you have to show the world who says what you said and when these people are asked who said this the answer is you don't need anyone to say it you don't need a verse from a to that says it you don't need a sage to say it because in fact if you bring a sage if you bring a verse then somebody else can debate you of what it actually means so the moment you debate it therefore it's worthless and that's how they justify not bringing sources as we see this is literally contrary to the entire tradition to the entire belief system of Judaism there is no such thing as picking something out of a hat and saying this is true if you do not have a sage that spoke about it Sage that agrees with you your Insight your understanding is worthless why do I need some Great Sage to agree with me because the way it goes is as follows if I say something to you as I said today you're going to ask me where did you get this from now I can tell you I got it from onos I got it from the ramban I got it from the ramban but let's just go let's go closer let's go closer I got it from my Rabbi okay I got it from rer FR K he's a genius he's a g he's something unbelievable what people study perhaps in a year he studies in a day and more so I got it from him now why do I trust what he says because I know where he got it from and you see he got it from radya he got it fromon he got it from the great sages of the yester year now if you have something like that that means that you have your Rabbi taught you he brought you a source let's say he brought you rabya you know that R also brought a source he'll bring you let's say the g Vila from a couple hundred years ago then you look at the G Vila where did he get it from and he writes a source he got it from let's say dar and then you see the AR perhaps he uh you know he lived at the same generation as rabf so it's hard to say that he got it from Abus of but let's just go that they both agreed on something which is real they they have agreed on many things let's say he got him and Ros Caro uh studied one day and they both or they both arrive with the same Insight the point being is you have a uh the tradition keeps going backwards then you have let's say you go to the or you go to Theo or you go to any of the other great sages that lived at that time you go to the that's a little bit before them then you go to the ran that's part of the and you go a little before them you go to the r then you go to then you want to go to you want to go to you want to go to ra then you would say okay but also where did they get from oh they got from where did he get it from oh he got it from his teacher where did he get it from he got it from his teacher which is R AKA where did he get it from he got it from his teacher hos where did he get it from from Zak and then you go to you go to before even after and then you go from them from the zat you go to the prophets and we know the list of the prophets it's listed in tanak the point being is is that when you bring a source it's not just oh he's a really smart Rabbi therefore I trust him it doesn't work that way not in the Torah world you perhaps can do that in business if you want to declare Bank anupy at some point you could perhaps do that if you're buying a house if you probably want to make a lot of mistakes but you could do that with other things but you can't do it with Torah why because Torah sits on top of a foundation of rules not just the rules of what to eat and who to marry and and and when to uh go to the mikve no no it's rules of how the Torah itself was transmitted rules of how to understand the tor so the sages teach us that this has been a tradition since the beginning this has been part of the rule since the beginning it's not something that changed over time it always had to be from father to son from teacher to to student and it was so critical that we literally have the names of every leader of the generations so when somebody says to you today I have a new insight but no one mentions it before me you already know that this is not just a red alert a red flag this is simply a warning to run away before it's too late because this type of mentality that you could bring something new Under the Sun is contrary to the foundation and in in fact the more learned a person is in Torah the more they understand that there is no argument against the Torah because even if you're very smart many many smarter people studied it much more intensely and verified it before you before you not just a few thousand years ago before you yesterday before you 10 years ago before you 30 years ago before you 50 years ago before you 100 years ago 150 200 500 all the years you could possibly imagine and all of those great sages made sure that if they had any issue with anything whether it be validity or simply the understanding of anything they wrote about it they debated it they unfolded an extrapolated whatever they could from it and yet the rules had to be in play meaning there are certain things that are open for debate but there are things that are not open for debate and even if you want to say that the issue you're bringing up is open for debate that only means that you have to justify your debate not by your opinion but rather by the opinion of much greater sages that lived hundred or even thousands of years ago and bring it up to light now you can't just say I have something new and therefore you need to agree or you need to believe or this is the truth because if none of the sages are your friends and yet you're continuing to teach what you're teaching then you my friend are not a friend but rather an enemy an enemy of the people an enemy of yourself and an enemy of God and that is a very fundamental principle in our Judaism that is necessary for each and every single one of us to understand in order for a person to grow with the truth because so long as a person does not agree with the foundation of Judaism whatever you build is going to be like a straw house bound to fall so there's much more to say but I know that you guys have a lot of questions so BM we're going to start taking questions after I get a quick trick this okay let's see they awesome thank you very much bless Israel forever enemy of the sages and enemy of God yes 100% uh let's see Hebrew has been lost not sure if you know what Hebrew is but I've been speaking speak Hebrew since birth so we speak Hebrew and Hebrew was never lost so that's a uh lie uh to the maximum power there's no such thing as Hebrew was lost Hebrew was never lost okay so all right so the question here we go all right um [Music] Shalom okay what about the gym does the Torah mention JY to go to a gym yes there's a verse in the T that says that you have to protect your body meaning you have to do whatever you can to keep your body healthy now if for you to maintain a healthy body requires for you to exercise in a gym there's no problem of going to the gym so long as number one the gym is only one gender because you cannot uh do the exercises and all the different things when there is people that are walking around from the opposite gender because that will arouse forbidden thoughts so to go to a gym where there's both male and female that's forbidden but if you go if you're a male and you go to a male only gym or if you're a female and you go to a female only gym there's no problem number two you don't make it the ultimate purpose of your life I mean I know that uh some people like to exercise they enjoy exercising they believe exercising is important and none of those things are a problem until you've made those the number one priority in your life if exercising has become the number one priority in your life and you're constantly building yourself to be some Greek statue that's not a good thing uh because your body is something that's temporary even if you exercise every single day of your life at some point that body is going to be eaten by maggots and different meat eating worms if you ever see the worms that are in Graves they're very very big very thick and they eat meat so that body that you exercised and and built and all that's it's going to be by worms but the soul which is the real you that part continues if that Soul was ignored throughout its life because the body was the primary focus then obviously you're not fulfilling your purpose there's no problem of exercising there's no problem of of keeping good health but it's not the priority in life it's just simply one of the things that a person can do in order to maintain good health and in fact there is a Mitzvah to do that but there's many MIT and a person needs to fulfill as many of them as possible not just one Mitzvah next can I go to a gym on Shabbat no you cannot go to the gym on Shabbat uh not only because it's a uh usually the gym is us usually far away from people's houses which will require a person to uh uh get out of the L get out of the uh Community but it's also even if a person says they want to go running uh or lifting weights on Shabbat this is not allowed because it is not the uh correct behavior for a Jew to do on Shabbat on Shabbat what a person is supposed to do is to pray to have K to spend time with the family to to learn Torah to rest that's the purpose of Shabbat just like a stopped creating a person needs to stop creating and that includes creating new muscles and uh new uh cubes to uh to reflect on they have to make sure that they're uh spending some time nourishing their Nish the part of thems that is permanent and not the part of themselves that is temporary am I allowed to go to the pool on Shabbat no the pool is also forbidden on Shabbat uh because you're not allowed to wash your entire body at once if somebody is uh dirty let's say they've uh uh they've uh I don't know they put their hand in mud or they have uh something on their leg there's no problem of washing that body part with cold water hot water is not allowed because it would uh be a lighting fire but uh cold water is allowed but only to wash a part of the body not the entire body uh you can wash your arms you can wash your legs but not the entire body so when you go into a pool you're it's Essence the same thing as going into a shower and that is forbidden uh and uh this is one of the things that the sages talk about in see hold on what do you think of rabbis who believe we are not holy enough to live in Israel uh well those rabbis uh can uh provide you a source uh that uh would say that no the answer is no you're not going to find a single Rabbi that could provide a source that uh am is not holy enough to live in Israel you will find some rabbis uh that can provide your source that perhaps we weren't allowed to uh to take over Israel where you know 1948 when there was the whole uh uh un uh acceptance of uh you know the uh modern-day Israel that wasn't really uh a what people think most people think that there was no Jews in Israel before 1948 that's a mistake Jews have been living in Israel throughout all of the years certainly there were times that there were very very few uh in Israel but uh there was a huge amount of religious Jews starting to immigrate into uh Israel uh during the 1800s but then the zionists uh that are anti- tah that are not religious Jews that are against the tah and many times they're actually even Christian missionaries they uh started working with the different governments and so on and eventually by 1948 they got the UN to agree to uh allow uh the the Jews to declare this their land of course there's many wars after that and so on now some of the uh uh great uh rabbis of that time didn't uh uh didn't agree at all with what the uh uh you know what the zionists were doing and uh in fact some uh some disagreed so much so that they tried to stop them but the uh once we got the permission to move to Israel many many of the Great rabbis moved to Israel and in fact over time most of the great uh communities were from all over the world whether the communities from what was left of Poland jewelry or Russian jewelry or Ukraine jewelry or other parts of the world Middle Eastern jewelry from Morocco from Yemen from Syria everybody uh moved to to Israel Over time uh some of course went to America and other countries but a great amount of people and and great sages went to Israel even if they didn't agree with what happened politically in 1948 and the years before it they still went there because they figured that since we already got it even though it wasn't the ideal way to get it it wasn't the ideal way to do things they would prefer to wait for the mashiah to come and and and make that happen they still said now that we have it we we're moving there because it's our land anyway God already decreed that now the of sat is the primary that was a uh uh zealous and uh to the point where they said even though uh they uh they got it and uh you know there is a certainly a uh many great people living in Israel they chose to stay out of Israel because of this fight and because they do not believe that you have the right to live in Israel until the mhia Comes This is not because they don't believe that the Jewish people are holy enough uh to live in Israel because that would mean that sat would think uh that anyone living in Israel is wicked and this is obviously not true because they were uh you know there great uh uh uh sadim living in Israel throughout uh throughout the generation that uh you know that were very friendly to satare and many of the RAB yel and uh many of the great leaders that they uh have had uh to this day so of course this is a simply the decision of sat not to live uh in Israel not to be part of the Zionist rule that's there that's obviously anti- tah and uh this is what they chose they're waiting for the mhia to come now that's not because of lack of Holiness that's because of their belief their tradition is that there's no permission whatsoever to go to is unless the M comes now the rest of the great sages even if they agreed that we weren't supposed to go to Israel until mashia comes they simply concluded that since we got it and we have the permission to go we're going and just make the best out of it and now that you have the vast majority of Jews uh in the world living in Israel for the first time in uh you know many many years the the argument is no longer a valid argument meaning that uh there is no undoing what was done the Jewish people are in Israel they're there to stay there's nowhere else for them to move there's nowhere else that we that they we want to move to anyone that uh any Jew that wants to live in Israel can move to Israel uh it's uh certainly available it's not easy but where is it easy you know I don't know any country in the world that it's easy to live in but needless to say there are certain sacrifices that a person needs to make if they're choosing to uh live in Israel just like the uh says uh that there's three things that a person has to make a sacrifice for in order to acquire them one is T two Isa meaning to go to heaven and three is to live in Israel living in Israel has its own unique difficulties but that's not to say that you shouldn't live in Israel if you have the opportunity to the point being is is that Israel is an extraordinary place with the most amount of righteous people in the world living there most amount of Scholars in the world live there right now despite the fact that you have a government that's against the Torah and against the uh the righteous people and against everything we stand for still we stay there we uh we uh we support there we do whatever we can uh to be there not because we're befriending the wicked but rather because we're doing whatever we can to uh empower the uh the righteous and to empower the ones that are loyal to the Torah in order for us to uh benefit as a as a uh not just a uh as as small communities but as a nation so to live in Israel uh again the ideal way of getting there was not done but needless to say now that we're there there's simply nowhere else that we rather be I live in America not by choice I live in America by simply because this is my role in the world I have to help Jews of the Exile uh do cha get closer to Hashem now even though many of the things that I do are online uh still even that and many other things that we do behind the scenes are only possible uh or at least to the same extent currently uh if I live where I live so one day we are looking forward to going to Israel uh and living there not just visiting but in the meantime we have many there we have a we have uh a lot of uh uh great things that uh we keep uh we keep doing over there and sending over there but you know again everybody has to fulfill their role if a person has the ability to fulfill their role in life living in Israel they should live in Israel if if they don't have a way to do that then they need to live wherever they could and the main part of the role is serving God okay let's see does the Torah talk about heaven hell and afterlife okay so I guess you're very new uh yes we have actually several uh films not just lectures we have many lectures that we discuss Heaven hell and the afterlife uh but there is several films that we've made discussing the afterlife the most recent one is the most powerful one it's a film called Gom if you go to Raba youron ruven on YouTube or you go to my uh um website bash.org you'll see there's a banner there says Gom that is a movie it's a three-hour movie that shows not just uh biblical proofs of uh discussions about gome but also the discussions by the sages discussions by scientists discussion by different types of Scholars in so many words our goal was to uh give a conclusive proof that not only is Gom something that is a discussed in the Torah but it is proven and from all aspects of wisdom so Gom is where a person goes to as a punishment if they not fulfill their role but Gom is not the only part uh where a person could get punished there's also something called there's there is reincarnation uh and certainly there are many uh many different uh chambers within each one of them some of this stuff match of the stuff is discussed in that film we also have another film called which is the uh what happens to a person the moment that person dies if the person is righteous or if the person is wicked the moment a person dies what happens to them this is a very scary movie uh but needless to say it's full of factual evidence including even a uh video uh point is is that this is uh available and we have many many lectures that talks about uh reward and Punishment as this is one of the 13 principles of Faith anyone that is righteous according to the tah is going to go to heaven anyone that's wicked is going to go to a place of punishment like the ones that I've mentioned kafak reincarnation a gome or a mix of multiple parts of them point being is there is no such thing as a uh as a person going against the to and sinning against God without a consequence anyone that says that God does not punish gets an additional punishment for the audacity of thinking that God does not punish uh because reward and punishment is in fact an act of Mercy an act of truth if God does not punish that that means that anybody could become Hitler anybody could become evil anybody could become a terrorist without any consequences so what's the purpose of the world on the other hand if you say that everyone is uh going to get punished then what's the purpose of giving us these Commandments if we're all going to get punished anyway so it's important for a person to know that there is a reward and Punishment in the in the world of course since there's reward and Punishment there is extraordinary reward and extraordinary punishment that's Superior to what's a available to us in this world or else there wouldn't be a purpose for for this world if this was the ultimate purpose why why do we need to do anym more than uh than uh uh to to get something better so a person needs to know that there is reward there is punishment and a person that follows what tah says will get rewarded a person that does not follow will get punished and sometimes the when a person learns about the punishments uh they uh they they be get very very emotional because they didn't realize how bad it can get how horrible the consequences are for people that violate the to and whatever a person can imagine is horrible multiply that by a million and maybe you'll get there on the other hand whatever you think is good multiply that by a billion and maybe you'll get there of how good it is for even a single minute so there is reward punishment it's very very uh uh fundamental uh to our belief system and in fact any normal civilized human being knows that there has to be a rewards and Punishment system there has to be a heaven there has to be a hell meaning a place for uh reward and a place for punishment for God to be a just God uh because if there wasn't any reward and Punishment he wouldn't be a just God because if everybody goes to a place a reward why do you know how is this just so person that murders and rapes people he gets you know the same benefits and and and Pleasures as a person that was right righteous and honest and helping people all his life obviously this could not be so there's a place for punishment there's a place of reward and there's many lectures that we have about this topic but I suggest you start with some of these films because they're certainly going to help you aside from that you could also see reward and Punishment in the world uh one of the ways that people learned about reward and Punishment in their world if it wasn't from their life was from my life there's a movie about that it's called Hashem took back his millions go to the same place that I've said or you just simply go to my profiles it's the film is relatively popular it's already hit I don't know maybe over TW 10 or uh more than 10 or 12 million uh uh views across our different channels and different languages and Hashem took back his millions is a film about my personal life and the uh extraordinary amount of success and suffering that bem thank God I went through in my life uh for your benefit for your benefit not that I'm uh righteous or I'm your savior or I'm anything but simply for your benefit to learn from what I did the mistakes that I made so you don't repeat them you don't repeat those mistakes and you do much better than what I did and uh transform your life to be better without you know having uh God force your hand like uh like my hand was forced in so many words so you can watch that movie as well and then go on to the other films and there's many many other films and lectures that we have on our channels everything is free everything is available uh for the person that simply could uh uh open their mouth and as white as they want and they'll get as much to as they want there's literally thousands upon thousands of lectures and films that we make available everything is free okay next who side should we be on with the protests uh depends what the protest is about why aren't there very big rabbis or sages anymore like in the past uh there are many big rabbis in the world perhaps you don't know them but there are many great rabbis in the world if you spend some time in B in in different places in inat uh you'll end up uh at the very least uh uh seeing multiple rabbis walking in the streets that are giants among giants uh some that are very popular and famous in uh around the world some that are less popular around the world but very famous in uh you know in specific communities whether it's you know different great rabbis uh from different Boo and so on uh or you go into the Safari communities you have Maz uh one of the great rabbis of the generation you also have a uh extraordinary uh that are uh you know very very big that there's um Cohen ra Yeshua Cohen he's he probably completed the sh uh 10,000 times uh something that's incomprehensible to anybody else but yeah anyone that watches his shim or or has ever met him or spent time uh learning with him knows that this is a person that uh literally is uh is less human than you can possibly imagine I mean he's a genius now he's an average person he looks like an average person he uh uh acts like an average person but the the knowledge the breath of knowledge uh that he had and how much he studied and how much he knows is is unbelievable and when I say he he studied the uh completed the sh 10,000 times I'm not kidding this is exactly what Rim told me this is exactly what I've I've seen in my own eyes the the amount of uh wisdom that's coming out of him is not just wisdom that is a oh he remembers nice things he simply could tell you and he gets tested publicly from his students but the entire sh the entire Shi and he tells exactly where everything is which number word it is on the page on in the book which page it is what side of the page how the page looks like uh what's around it what's before it what's the commentary literally and and he does it he does this thing like he moves it on his hand but there's nothing on his hand but he's literally he sees the page every page in theud it's unbelievable so wisdom like that uh certainly does exist in the world you just have to uh uh uh uh get to know more T Torah Scholars spend more time with Torah Scholars I spent B some time with Torah Scholars I spend a lot of time with them uh and uh it's they're they're amazing but again unlike the secular showoff world where uh you know anytime somebody uh gets a uh you know anything of value anything of uh of notary uh of notoriety uh they want to make sure that uh their million uh followers on Twitter and uh and and Tik Tock and and every other channel know it also even if it's not no not worthy so the the rabbis the great sages are not that way they're not you know they're not spending their time on Twitter or on Tik Tok and and anywhere else making sure that every meal that they eat the world knows about but if you go to their K their yes and everything else you could sit down you could learn next to them you could ask them questions and you could literally uh drink from their uh from from their wisdom uh without without much difficulty but it's uh you know it requires a person to go and there are certainly around the world it's not just Israel there there's in America there's in uh in other countries uh so it's it definitely exists all right what do I think of the Hebrew Israelites claiming to be the original Jewish people well uh mental illness is uh unfortunately uh in in is not a curable uh disease uh when the person is not willing to admit that they're they're sick uh and the person is not willing to take the medicine uh so in so many words that's what they are they're mentally sick people uh spiritually sick they've always been that's not a new thing but they're mentally sick and uh it's not a uh it's something that we've discussed in the past uh and uh we stopped discussing it because I simply conf you know concluded that there's just there's no help like initially I wanted to discuss it in order to shed light on the issue and hopefully save some of them and help some of them discover the truth because Judaism is available uh for anybody who wants to uh to to join us you want to convert to Judaism there's no problem but they're not interested in Judaism they're interested in in authoritarian rule they're interested in in simply uh uh causing harm to anyone that uh doesn't look like them or doesn't agree with them or combination thereof uh and uh they're simply very uh you know very uh you know bad people uh and Unfortunately they uh you know their stupidity somehow has fooled many many people that are also unlearned uh but to the point of fanaticism so when somebody's fanatic uh there you know Common Sense is no longer a tool that you can use to help them uh knowledge is no longer a valid uh uh tool because they they're not interested in knowledge because their leaders are going to manipulate whatever knowledge you provide to serve their agenda so it's a very sad case I have actually a few students that used to be uh is Hebrew Israelites and then they were you know some of the lucky few that uh discovered the truth andem some of them converted to Judaism already some of them uh uh are in the process of conversion to Judaism but to be honest with you it's a few and far in between many of these people already knew that there's something wrong with the uh Hebrew Israelite nonsense you know well before they met me uh perhaps I added a few cherries to the top but certainly there is they knew there's something wrong with it because there's no two Israelites that believe the same thing and in fact they have no tradition they have no history they have nothing it's just a bunch of thugs that like to wear costumes and play video games and watch uh uh uh you know all types of pornography and promote all types of promiscuity and immodesty on their channels and their you know filthy mouths uh and in so many words they violate the Torah without even realizing that they're violating the Torah like they're so ignorant about the Torah they don't even realize what they're doing so a person like that you can't really help so there are some people among them that were educated enough to know that there's something wrong and therefore they left some people unfortunately had to suffer a lot of pain before they realized it because it is a uh Cult of of of fanaticism uh but there are many that are joining them uh not because of a common belief system because like I said you're not going to find two groups with with the same beliefs but rather because there is a desire for leadership there is a yearning for leadership there's a yearning for rulership and uh what they don't realize is that uh you know even if their group uh you know becomes uh bigger and greater it won't help the individuals it'll only help the the pigs on top and that's unfortunately one of the things that we've seen in society many times so uh what do I think about them I think that uh the leaders are evil and the followers are uh victims and uh any one of them that's interested in learning art to it's available for free and uh we hope that they learn it and and and change their ways doesn't mention Islam in the Torah well the uh uh the father of Islam is one of the sons of ab his name was Ishmael Ishmael initially was a very Wicked person but the sages teach us that later on in his life he actually changed his ways he did chuva the problem is that his children were not uh followers of of the good that he uh started doing so many of them went in uh bad ways either way he is the in essence the forefather of of uh of the Muslims but that's not to say that uh that that Islam in itself is a righteous religion because even though Islam is monotheistic uh it's not idolatry like Christianity uh Islam is based on a very similar Foundation of lies to Christianity where their book is a uh claims to be a continuation of what started at Mount Si for the Jewish people yet it contrad icts it yet it uh there are parts of it that talk about killing the very same Jews that are the chosen people and and and it says many things that simply do not make any sense whatsoever uh if you look at the details such as that uh Jesus being alive at the same time as Moses even though we know for a fact there's a 1500 year difference between them uh Jesus being the uh uh the the son of Miram the the sister of uh Moses and which is obviously uh just a stupid thing to say there's nothing else to say about that it's just it's it's historically wrong it's it's there's just simply no uh no normal person on planet Earth uh that studied either religion or history or both would agree with such a thing uh but it says it in the Quran it says that ham and Par were friends and they spoke obviously they lived in two different uh Millennia I don't know how people that live lived and died in two different Millennia could actually be friends and it says other things like that that are uh that are easily uh showing that the Quran was a man-made uh flawed document that's full of errors and needless to say it has things in it that are contrary to the Torah for example there's a permission to lie according to Islam you are allowed to lie even though the Torah that says that it will never change has a verse in the Torah from a thing of lie stay away from meaning not only you're not allowed to lie but you have to stay away from lies stay away from Liars so when the Quran says you're allowed to lie already you see that this is contradictory to what they say they're they're based on so this is actually part of the debate that the kusari uh the book kusari spoke about when rabud had a uh debate with a uh with a king about a thousand years ago about all of the different religion religions including Islam Christianity as well as Judaism and literally disproving all of the uh other religions while proving that Judaism is the only truth of God that exists in the world so the problem is today that again Islam is also led by uh a very uh uh uh fanatical type of uh uh uh uh leadership and uh very few people are allowed to even entertain uh other uh ideas other uh uh you know other religions other beliefs without putting their life at risk I merited to have several uh students that came from Islam uh either convert to Judaism or become righteous noahides or be in the process of conversion uh but uh it was never easy for any one of them every single one of them had to have extreme changes in their life part of which some of them was putting their life on their line you know running away from where they were uh so this is something that's not common among other religions and needless to say it's not uh uh it doesn't show a religion of Peace like they claim it is so uh does Judaism talk about Islam yeah it talks about how it's false so yeah uh why is T Judaism different from Old Testament Judaism uh well there is no such thing as uh uh Old Testament Judaism and TMI Judaism there is is Judaism that's it the written Tora and the oral Torah are one they're not two of the different now the what the problem is what the Christian missionaries uh that sometimes call themselves Messianic Jews or or Hebrew Israelites or uh the the uh people from Islam will sometimes tell you things about the uh the written Torah and uh things about the oral to in order to confuse you and mislead you what they don't tell you is that there would be no religion at all not Judaism not Christianity and not Islam without the oral Torah which the primary part of the oral Torah is the talmud and the reason why is because part of what the oral tah does is it gives us a understanding of what the oral tah what the written tah actually says the Old Testament actually says so for example in the Book of Genesis God says to abam to have a circumcision to cut something called now what is now there you're not going to find this word many times in the Tor and in fact you're never going to find a verse that gives you the definition for the word so if God says cut this from your body the average male do you tell them listen God loves you but he says that in order for you to show your love to him and your commitment you you have to cut a piece of your body called now you're going to ask the first question if you're a smart person you say okay what's an what's an now if you're even smarter you're going not going to ask you're going to Simply determine since they didn't tell me what the is I'll just determine what the OA is so maybe it's a piece of my ear you know cut off a little earlobe much easier than circumcision maybe it's the nails I cut off a nail much easier than even the earlobe maybe it's a uh you know it's a hair maybe you know what you could just simply decide obviously if abrah ainu understood that the is the forkin on the male member the most sensitive part of the body and he's still willing to do it at the age of a 100 and then commit this very same act for the next 4,000 years until this day every Jewish baby that's born on the eighth day unless they're medically unable to because they're sick or they're weak on the eighth day they have the very same circumcision that Abraham ainu had at 100 years old why didn't anybody reject it why didn't anybody throughout the last 4,000 years say you know what I think ol means something else it maybe means the nails maybe means the beard maybe he means the nose maybe he means a tooth anything but the foreskin but nobody ever said that everyone agreed including the Christians including the Muslims that the has always been the foreskin where did you get the definition it's not in the written to it's not in the Old Testament where did you get it from the oral tah the oral T is what gives us that the same exact thing is in every other aspect of the T so much so that the vowel system is not part of the of the written meaning if you read if you go to a a synagogue the synagogue every synagogue has multiple Torah Scrolls you open a Torah scroll all Torah scrolls are going to show you the same exact thing it's going to be Black Ink on a uh parchment that's white and the words don't have the dots the dashes don't have beginning or ending of statements there's no sentences that are like structure of English and other languages there's no vowel systems no punctuation system on the Torah scroll so how do you know where the sentence ends or where it begins or even how to pronounce the word or what the word means because in English you have a letter-based vowel system AE I or u and sometimes y but in Hebrew there is no letters that are the vowel system rather there is the dots that you have under or inside the letters or the dashes this is called Nik this is not part of the written tah this is something that is taught to us in the oral tah which means that without it you simply would not have the ability to understand a single verse in the tah for example same example I've been giving for the last decade if you wanted to say Moses is righteous so you would say Moshe sadik madik now in English Moses's righteous is three words and each one of those words has vowels in it the word Moses has the O and the E and therefore without the vowels Moses turns into M Miss then you have is is has one vowel that's an i without the I all you have is a s so then you have the word righteous righteous has multiple vowels you have the I uh you have the uh uh o and the U so if you don't have the I and the O and U the righteous turns into so you have Miss perhaps sounds like maybe like a bark or maybe something a sound that that certain animals make certainly doesn't sound like Moses is righteous without the vowels Moses is righteous is Miss sounds like a curse maybe in different languages so the Nik is from the oral to not from the written toah which means that all religions Christianity Catholicism Islam are dependent on this very same part of the oral tah as Judaism and without this oral Torah no religion would exist so you cannot ever say that you agree with Christianity but disagree with the oral tah why because without the oral tat there wouldn't be Christianity you agree with Islam but you disagree with the oral tat there's no such thing as Islam without oral tah I agree with Judaism but I don't agree with the oral tah there's no such thing there is no Judaism without oral Tah in fact the only common denominators left between Judaism and the other religions end up coming from the oral tah not the written tah so when people say no the talud is bad and tud has all types of strange things in it that just simply means a couple things number one the person is a manipulator number two the person has never learned tud number three the person is an evil person that simply is going to look for something to serve their needs and manipulate in order to influence the public so when a person truly learns talmud they understand that this is the ultimate uh uh wisdom that could possibly exist and all of the things that will sound strange look strange and even be strange have explanations have clarifications many of which we've discussed over the years many of which we will discuss in the future but L to say if a person just looks at the uh face value of anything in life certainly they will look you know see that there is something wrong if you simply get medicine but without understanding how medicine works without understanding how much research went into the medicine without understanding the risk of not taking the medicine and the first thing you ever saw on medicine is simply the uh the uh what could happen all of the side effects okay okay what's the side effect get a headache get uh nose bleed uh urinate uh uncontrollably uh you know vomit uncontrollably incapable of sleeping heart attack stroke you know on and on and on you're going to say bro no yeah listen buddy I'm not taking this this is Terror this is poison no no no this is medicine what is a medicine for oh it's a medicine for uh asthma what this is a me from asthma yeah what about all these side effects yeah these are possibilities but it's worth the risk because if the person with asthma doesn't take it he's going to die and the likelihood of these side effects is very minimal and even if you get side effects you control it where you can stop taking it and it doesn't get to that extent but they still have to disclose it so anything that you look at without being educated the right way is going to look like it's bad or simply it's going to look different than what it really is if a person simply concluded who you are each one of you that's watching right now just by looking at you from afar on an average Tuesday afternoon perhaps you had a bad hair day perhaps you had a bad you know day all together perhaps you had a really good day perhaps you just won a bunch of money perhaps you just lost a bunch of money you had a good uh uh uh meal you had a terrible meal you have a stomach ache you don't feel well but this person decides that he's going to conclude Everything About You from afar without even talking to you just by looking at you from afar would you say that that's a fair analysis of who you are obviously not and that's in essence what's happening from the missionaries and all the other ignoramuses that are trying to distort the talmud they look at it from afar without having a concept of what's really in it without ever truly studying it without truly understanding what's behind the scenes they they look at from afar and then they decide they become teachers I even saw actually one time this this this gruesome vile human being uh uh that's actually part of the uh Hebrew Israelites who doesn't stop cursing and and and just literally speaks like some animal or like just a disgusting person anyway he says on air he actually says on a video which happened to be about me and he says I'm a Torah scholar I know talmud I'm a talmud scholar he actually calls himself a talmud scholar he says I got talmud and he takes out a book that says talud and it's one single book now what he doesn't realize that the talud is not one book it's not one book if you combine the Jerusalem talmud with the Babylonian talm it's 60 different if you get the English version you have a 150 books more than 100 books but he thinks that it's one book he thinks it's one book meaning that his knowledge is so minimal that he doesn't even know what the talmud is yet he says I'm a talmud scholar why because he has a book that says something about the talmud but it's a single book obviously it's at the talud but that's the ignorance here his audience also doesn't know what the talud is and therefore they believe him they say yeah look he's got a book that says talud on it I think it says talmud for dummies but that's a different story the point being is is that people that are uneducated about Judaism don't know what they don't know now when it comes to Medicine when it comes to uh to to other aspects of life people are willing to admit what they don't know if your doctor tells you listen I understand you're scared of this medicine you're scared of this surgery but you got to trust me I've been doing this for 20 years the average normal person takes their takes their word you've been doing it for 20 years 30 years surgeries medicine everything I'm going to trust you even though I don't know what you're doing I don't know how it's going to work you're telling me it's going to work cuz you're an expert fine I'm going to listen to you you're a health professional I'm going to listen to you you go to your dentist your dentist tells you to take all these tooth out teeth out you have to put this one in you have to make holes in this one that's how you're going to fix it all types of stuff that's painful and expensive you don't question a dentist why because you know the last time you went to him with a toothache he made it stop you don't really know how he made it stop and why making holes in your teeth and putting some stuff in there and taking stuff out you don't actually know how it worked you just know it worked and it stopped hurting so you went back and when and you were willing to accept whatever he told you to do you didn't question it the same thing is if you went to your accountant or your lawyer and they told you listen you have to pay x amount of money in order to complete this thing and and avoid all risk of going to jail or being arrested or getting fined or losing your business and so on and so forth now you're not a legal expert or or an accounting expert but yet you pay them for that service because they're the experts mean meaning the average person has no problem expecting accepting the expertise of others blindly the only time that people have a problem accepting the expertise is when it comes to Torah and in fact the only place that has real expertise is the Torah why because unlike the lawyer and the doctor that has experience for the last 20 or 30 years that is only connected to him and not to the generations before because even if he learned some medicine book medical books from previous generations most of the stuff from the previous generations is no longer relevant to this generation the equipment has changed the people have changed everything has changed so generally that 30-year experience that this doctor has is unique to him and will become insignificant in the Next Generation yet the Torah that I'm teaching you the Torah that FR is teaching the Torah the rabya is taught the Torah that the rambam taught the Torah that all of the sages taught has always been the same Torah relying on the generation before and the generation before and the generation before all the way to mosenu meaning that you're not relying on my expertise I'm a zero I'm less than zero you're relying on mosenu you're relying on the great Sages throughout all of the last several thousand years their expertise not mine I'm simply just telling you what they said saving you the time to read hundreds of books now you're welcome to read the books yourself but most people are not going to do it either they don't have the time or the ability or whatever the point being is you're not relying on my expertise and you shouldn't what you are relying on is the expertise of the sages for the last 3,000 plus years Judaism is the only religion that has that nothing else has that if you go to the medical world to the legal World they don't have that why because anything that's of yester year anything from historically generally speaking more or less is useless same thing with Christianity you go to the Christian pastors and Priests and and and and missionaries of today they're not teaching you what Martin Luther said they're not teaching you what any of the so-called SES of Christianity said 500 years ago a thousand years ago they're not teaching you that they're teaching you their current modernday interpretation of what was written many many centuries ago which means that the sages that were closest to when this religion started have no say have no connection to the teachings of today the original Pope is not taken into consideration by a local Pastor or priest the the second the third the fifth the 10th pope the leaders of the religion Martin Luther any one one of these people their beliefs are not taken into consideration by anybody that's speaking to the Christian people today so where do the Christian leaders get their information simple they make it up they make it up sometimes they'll actually watch me and other rabis to get some new material and pretend like they came up with it I have a few of them that I get uh caught them a few times looking and saying certain things that they said they even asked for information they pretend to be Jewish point being is they're they don't have a tradition they have a speaking ability that's it and you think it's any different than Islam same exact thing perhaps it's not as obnoxious as Christianity is at times but needless to say it's the same thing your your average sheh out there that's a leading that's that's telling people to uh to follow Islam to follow Muhammad hamdulillah and all the good stuff fine where did you get this information from which Sage do you hear them mentioning generally speaking you never hear them make a mention a single Sage you have them tell you what certain verses in the Quran say who told you that this is what it says who told you that this is what it means well I understand it meaning they don't see that there's a difference between them today and the people that were closer to the foundation of their religion, 1400 years ago now any normal person would obviously agree that if I lived next door to Moses himself certainly I am guaranteed to know more about what he said and what he taught than anybody else in the world today why I live next to him I went to his classes I was there at Mount saai so of course I know more than anybody else that's not there that wasn't there now if I lived two or three generations after Moses certainly I wouldn't know more than the people that lived next door to him but I still would know more than the people that live that lived five generations after me why I was closer to the source anybody played the the game telephone things change over time and obviously the closer you are to the source the uh the more you know and even more so the more details you have now when you have Christianity and Islam simply disregard any wise person that they had any leader that they had or most leaders at least throughout the last 15,400 to 2,000 years respectively then what you end up having is that whoever wants to be a leader in Islam all he needs to know is either how to read the Quran or simply how to listen the YouTube videos of somebody else that read the Quran and then tell people what he thinks about it that's it you don't need anything else because you could simply make up whatever you wanted to say that's not possible in Judaism these types of things are not possible in Judaism so this is the beauty of Judaism is that it's not only true because we say it's true it's true because it's verifiable to the point where you cannot challenge it the more you know the more you realize there is no other truth there is no other truth other than tah and this is something that all religions in fact depend on while they're rejecting it which actually highlights their ignorance good question odd qu is it against Judaism to date a non-jew uh yes a Jew is forbidden from dating a non-jew marrying a non-jew it's intermarriage is forbidden all the way from the time of Abraham ainu but uh it was uh much uh uh more significant uh once mosu received the Tora is a uh prohibition from a Jew marrying or being intimate or dating a a non-jew if a uh non-jew is uh interested in converting to Judaism they have to convert first and then they can date and marry a Jew but uh other than that there's no permission whatsoever okay let me see said that question there we go uh okay explain why God can't be a man well because God himself says that he is infinite he's not limited uh he has no body and no likeness of a body there are verses in the Torah that says so so for a uh God to be a man that would means that God would be contradicting of himself lying about himself which obviously does not make any sense uh that's number one number two for for uh God to be a man that means that he would make himself limited uh and uh that is not possible it's not possible for him to be a God and Limited at the same time so the belief that God became a man is not a new belief it wasn't invented by Christianity in fact the same exact story that Christianity has is uh found in many other religions that were that existed before it uh different forms of idolatry uh that same exact thing the Virgin birth and uh the uh the kid the magic kid that pretends to be God all that nonsense so this is all idolatry anyone that believes in the New Testament is simply following idol worship according to all opinions it's not a uh uh you know it's not something that uh is a new thing what makes him limited uh well makes him limited is that if a person is a is a body that means that they're material they're physical and physical cannot be in two places at the same time or multiple places at the same time so God cannot run the world if he's only in one place um uh so that's one so number two if you're going to say no no but he has Parts is the there's the one part here there's one part there there's one part everywhere God doesn't have Parts he says he's one God is one he is one he's not three so to say that God has Parts is contradictory to the toah to say that God has a body is contradicted to the tah uh and in so many words there everything about Christianity uh and the belief system in a trinity is contradictory to the Torah uh this is the reason why Jews cannot believe in Jesus uh because it's a uh it's it's idol worship uh to say three in one that just simply means you divided God into three God does not get divided he is one there's no three in one he is one that's it is is you believe that uh God is three because you were taught uh that and it sounds true to you but when you the more you understand the the basic principles of of faith based on a t the more you realize it's not possible I actually have a few videos uh on my uh Tik Tok channel that talk about some of this short videos you could see over there what it's called what Jews believe there's about four or five videos over there talk about the unification of God how his thoughts the past the present the future uh is all one it's all there is no separation between thoughts and action like you have with a human being you can think something but not do it uh your past is separate from you it's not it's something that's be Beyond uh before you your future is beyond you your PR your present is your today God doesn't have that he is one which means that past present and future is all one if he was a human being if he was a body that can not be there could not be a past present and future unless you're in a movies all types of nonsense that's in the movies this is not a matter of capability of God it's a matter of that making him into a three or making him into a body makes him incapable him being one is what makes him God is what makes him Supernatural is what makes him Superior to us in every aspect shape of the world when you actually humanize God you are minimizing God uh you're not glorifying God so that's also contrary to the Torah okay let's see some questions from our friends on Facebook what age should you start teaching a child about geham and how do you explain them about ganum do you teach them straight details make it child friendly uh you know generally speaking everything that we do we have to try to follow the words of our sages uh the words of the great sages what they did themselves R Shalom uh he writes and he said himself that he uh uh taught his kids about gam at the age of six the age of six is when he started teaching them about gam some of them a little ear earlier but again it's kid-friendly kid-friendly doesn't mean false kid-friendly means that you limit some of the details you don't have to go into the details of what happens in every single chamber and and feeding them sand and so on in so many words when they're young you have to Simply tell them this is a place of punishment fire they get burned and that's it the kid gets the picture this is not a good place now there are uh children's books that uh discuss m there are some children videos that discuss uh uh M from from different parts of Judaism that talk about gam uh they talk about gam in a uh in in a very honest way actually I wish they have the same type of books and videos for adults because many people need it uh especially today but the point is there's much material out there there's more honesty in the books written for children than there is in the books written for adults today uh and needless to say when you're teaching a kid at at a young age of you know about gam you have to take everything into account one of the things you have to take into account is the kids mental capacity some kids are sharper than others some kids develop faster than others some kids are a little bit slower than others and you have to be honest with yourself to know where your kid stands so if your kid is a very sharp witted kid you could probably start teaching them about the you know fire of gam and punishment at the age of 3 years old 4 years old uh again you don't need all the extra details that you saw in my movie you could just simply tell them there's a place of fire for the wicked people and they'll understand even better than you just by simply that just by simply that they'll understand and in fact they kids like to talk about gam oh yeah this wicked guy he's going to gam right ABA yeah he's going to gum all right yeah ABA he's going to heaven this guy's a good guy yeah yeah he's a good guy okay they like to put everything in compartments they like to know who's going to geham who's going to heaven kids love uh uh uh clarification they don't debate you they ask good questions and in fact they ask better questions than adults many times so kids uh H kids books today are very good there are many many good books on Arch scroll feldheim that uh you know that have been written over the last uh generation or so that are very very good uh but try to uh you know uh stick to the ones that have a lot of support behind them and not something that is a uh new tradition new way of communicating uh personally you know the the comic book types are not something that my family likes we like more of the stories about the sages story about theim stories from stories about the sapharic Jews story about ashkanazi Jews story about all of the great sages that live before us and all of the great stories that are part of our tradition from the talmud from the mishna from uh uh the the stories about the prophets all of that stuff has a lot of lot of interesting stuff both for the adults and the children and if anybody wants some recommendations of books you could send me a text message I could send you a few uh names to get your kids based on their age and so on but there's plenty of books and the more you read with your kids the more they're going to uh have the right ASA the right understanding of what's true and false including the belief about geham but if all you talk about is geham it's no different than if you all you talk about is going to heaven all the time neither one is good you can't just talk about geham you can't just talk about ganeden you have to everything has to have a balance and also an understanding of why we're going there or there and why it should motivate me to do this or this so it requires some investment from the parents uh try to read your kids uh at least once a day uh if they don't go to a regular school then obviously much more than that but the point is that the more parent invest into their kids the more are they going to get out of their kids uh and in fact as far as uh whether your kid is very sharp uh and and very uh bright or your kid is slow doesn't really make much of a difference because if you dedicate time to this kid to teach him to on a regular basis he will become much better than you could possibly imagine regardless of where he starts he could be slow he could be fast doesn't make a difference the more Torah you put into that kid the better you'll see the uh the kid uh uh become and of course make sure you protect him from bad things uh bad people and so on uh if one saw a dream of a broken tooth and didn't fast the next day what else can they do a broken tooth is not uh a necessity to uh uh to fast it's only if somebody lost a tooth especially if they lost one of the molers in a dream uh the back teeth uh then that's a called calls it a dangerous dream but if their tooth broke in a dream or even all of their teeth broke in a dream it doesn't uh mean anything uh it just probably means you probably have to go to a dentist maybe or you have something on your mind that has to do with teeth but uh the dangerous dream is if somebody lost a tooth especially if it's the the back teeth uh but if a person did lose uh one of the uh back teeth in a dream uh and they didn't fast the next day then uh they could uh you know give staka uh and uh and and that's it du Chua is there a debate of how much someone should investigate things uh it all depends it depends on what what you're trying to learn there are certain things that uh can be uh investigated and you can find out the answer in five minutes there are certain things that it could take uh many years to investigate it all depends on the depth of the subject the uh in mu Katan uh discusses it's actually one of the places that talks about the longest debate among the sages which was about the the that the hands whether you put one hand or two hands over the uh uh the sacrifice uh and this was a debate that started with SH but with SH and this debate continued on for more than 200 years meaning it wasn't just the rabbis but the students and the student students and the student students for more than 200 years they debated this issue so obviously they all investigated they all learned it and they all believed in what they believed at certain times but the point being is that this is something that is an extreme but needless to say there is no limit to how much somebody needs to investigate something uh but it all depends on what they're investigating and what is their purpose what is their purpose of investigating why are they investigating so it's there is really no uh uh one siiz fits-all answer for that one in Aral Stone Edition at the end of each Paras they' have listed mtic notes which is not translated into English a person who is a b cha or convert what are we to learn from these texts uh some of these uh texts are going to tell you the number of verses in the in the uh parasa some of them are going to give you different acronyms that help people learn specific things from the parasha there are different things different lessons that are mentioned there uh these are different tools that the sages use throughout the generation uh to help people commit things to memory uh and commit specific facts because they uh says that uh there were the the the sages that knew to count the letters what does it mean to count the letters they literally knew how many letters are in every sentence in the Tor where each letter is is how many times it appears in the entire T and the entire par and they investigated and analyzed surgically the tah to such an extent that they knew every single uh thing that you possibly can this is similar to somebody that has a uh a very precious collection of Watches or of diamonds or of paintings or anything that's very valuable to them the more valuable it is to a person the more they know about it the more they investigate into it so for the sages the most valuable thing they had is the tah so they made sure that they could know everything they possibly could about it including things that the average person would think is inconsequential such as the number of letters and uh uh and uh sentences and so on but of course there are many lessons to be learned from that as well including Torah Secrets uh should a person keep the like the AR and not cut his till you should do whatever your tradition is saric Jews could already start getting haircuts now whatever your tradition is whatever your Rabbi do you could do uh is a Jew or a non or a nonu allowed to participate in jury duty uh well jury duty is not necessarily something that you have much of a choice about if you live in America uh you uh this is part of the rules of the land now uh generally speaking a person can get themselves to be less likely to be chosen in jury duty by simply telling them that their religious beliefs are contrary to the uh court system uh but uh needless to say uh you know it's a it's something that you can't really avoid you can't really avoid uh it's one of the rules of the land uh just like paying taxes and otherwise uh so if somebody would avoid jury duty it could get them in trouble and go to jail so there's no permission to go to jail for the sake of avoiding jury duty uh so therefore a person is allowed to do it because he's an but uh again if a person learns enough T hasem will remove those things from his life may please elaborate on what would be considered considering the many ways we have these days to study uh in such as YouTube Tor as far as T there's a levels of t there's the common level which is a person is able to study and simply chooses not to study tah because they choose to do some other superficial activity such as play basketball or other sports video games you know uh watch TV that's T and they'll be punished for it then there's other levels of t uh such as the um their learning but not to their level meaning he is already at a level where he could read he could learn the PO or the the talud but he chooses to watch short video clips with stories about sikim now th that's those stories are great but if you turn that into your primary Torah when you could be you already at a level where you can learn you can learn AAL then that's Torah it's of the of the Torah or the other hand you could be a guy that could learn let's say for example like this one but instead he decides to go learn a sh by a heretic that's or he could learn a like this one but instead he decides to go watch some uh motivational speaker to that's or he could watch a story about sikim he's that he's at a low level but he's needless to say he's new and he's committed he can learn to about sikim but he decides to watch a cartoon uh that is not about sadik but just about super things that he already knows about because he likes this clip so he watches it for the 15th time and he refuses to go further that's so there are different levels of T there's B of the of time there's also the B of A of of the quality and in essence what you're what it's saying is that is a person wasting their time instead of learning to they're wasting that time with something that is less than what they're supposed to do less than what they're uh obligated to do may I enter a conservative or reformed synagogue and a restaurant that is Just Kosher but may be open on Shabbat in order to drop off amazing CU of material uh to enter a reformer or conservative synagogue if it's the place that they pray in no you're not allowed to enter that just like you're not allowed to enter a church a place of idolatry but you can enter the lobby area the lobby area if we're not the place that they pray you can enter the lobby area and drop off the stuff I generally uh never really had anybody have much success in dropping off the material uh in reform and conservative uh synagogues many times there are some people that are interested but there's always at least one Wicked person that decides on behalf of everyone that no one is interested and takes it and throws it out so uh I would suggest uh putting it at other places uh as far as a restaurant if it's a uh restaurant that's open on Shabbat then it's not Kosher uh even if they say they're selling kosher food you're never allowed to eat there but you are allowed to enter the place and put the Cure of material there hopefully the owner uh uses that cure of material for himself and stops violating Shabbat our women allowed to study and talmud talmud are synonymous it's the same thing uh Al they are allowed but is not recommended uh and it's frowned upon for a woman to study the talud primarily because the uh uh there is a lot of other things that a woman needs to learn uh that are relevant to her whereas the majority of the talmud is not relevant to a woman it's not relevant to her life it's not relevant to our observance of tah she has to learn a lot of things already and most women don't know what they need to learn she has to not only learn m and and and and character development she also has to learn the laws of Shabbat the laws of all the holidays the laws of this alone is literally a library of books the average woman doesn't know even half of what she needs to know about the laws of Shabbat or holidays or modesty or you know the average woman knows Basics what she learned at her mom's house or what she heard in the sh so you can't go and abandon what you're obligated to learn and go learn things that you're not obligated to learn that's number one number two generally speaking the uh uh woman is a lot busier handling the household than a man so she's not going to have that kind of time to learn Gara uh with a uh you know with the right type of teacher to teacher uh how to understand and what to understand that's number two number three most people you know women that learn gar are usually Heretics people that have all types of new beliefs that are contrary to the Mas and they're doing it out of the feminist mentality and not out of their righteousness so uh this is also a reason why it's frowned upon there are other reasons uh one of them being that there's a lot of issues in thear that are simply not good for women to learn about spiritually they're not good for women to learn about create problems for them so it's not recommended for a woman to learn is itally allowed it's allowed but it's not recommended and not everything it's allowed is recommended um Can a saric Jew become kabad or must he stick to his noar Jew has to stick to his n what is the final Gentiles having the ram contradicts himself on this topic in no the ramb does not contradict himself in this this we learned from uh that the uh and is is referring to both uh Jews and righteous Gentiles this is also mentioned by uh uh the r shalom in in the first Mish is referring to both Jews and righteous Gentiles uh have a share of the world to come another place the Ramba mentions is that uh a we learned from that it talks about the few people that do not have a share of the world to come and one of them is Bam and he says that from there since we know that bam does not have a share of the world to come that also teaches us that Gentiles generally do have a share of the world to come and go to heaven if they're righteous and they're not like bam so from there we also learn plus if you look at the uh um the uh introduction to M uh sad by the r he talks about it in there uh so uh he certainly does not contradict himself and righteous Gentiles do have a share of the world to come uh someone wanted me ask you why do we pray uh we pray for multiple reasons number one we pray as a way for us to uh serve hem and uh show gratitude for everything he's given to us number two we pray because we apologize during our prayers for the misdeeds that we've done uh number three we connect to God uh through our prayer we're talking to our creator we're talking to our father in Heaven uh if you had the opportunity to talk to the most special person in your life uh you would want to talk to them for as much as possible for as long as possible uh and for as as frequent as possible so you have the Creator your father in Heaven the one that loves you more than you love yourself and more than anybody else loves you available to you at all time how do you how do you uh talk to him pray you pray to him and that's uh one of the wonderful gifts that hasem gave us is to have the ability to talk to him whenever we want don't forget to donate yeah anybody wants to donate can donate on the pages or on the website uh BH torah.org and the other ones that I mentioned uh is doing for one hour a day the right uh The Garden of pushes to do it every day for a significant amount of time also the anuka does it do it that all depends on how much you learn if you're learning 10 hours a day and you want to do a uh you know and you want you pray in addition to that and you still have another hour a day to uh to do you can uh I don't remember any of the great sages that uh I've learned from or about uh doing that uh but you can if you're learning 10 hours a day but if you're learning four or five hours a day for you to spend 25 hours of your time on is simply not the approach that uh you know that do uh people that do that typically are more hippie-ish and delusional uh and they're not tell the uh they just like to go to the forest uh you don't need to go to a forest to do you could do it in your office you could do it in your car you could do it anywhere the best you possibly can have and I've learned this directly from the best is simply to open up a SE and delve into it and completely eliminate any thought of the world eliminate your phone eliminate the screen eliminate everything go into the Ser for good seven hours straight or if you can't seven hours four hours straight of all you're going to feel you're going to feel uh the uh the Creator so uh that's the that uh you know that certainly is recommended for all uh but again if somebody wants to pray private prayer to hasem no problem but to make that the you know the number one thing they spend their time on I don't remember any big doing that uh including the ones you've mentioned they don't spend 10 uh you know 20% of their day doing it or even 10% of their day why did why did hasem choose rather than any of the other prophets uh welli was very zealous forem he is is p hasas take Vengeance on his behalf in blesses p with uh life forever shalom shalom is having the on top of P for the rest of his life and to never die and P becomes say uh and he was zealous forem and he was willing to to die forem uh which again all of the stages and great were willing to die for hem but he was at the ultimate extreme uh that of zealousness to to hasm and there's other other aspects ofi that were very unique to him what's the good method to learn or in general specifically English version of Shabbat uh best version is to set up a time every single day to learn it you could learn it uh right after you finish praying in the morning before you take off your before you take off your open up read 2 three4 depending on how much time you have while you have your on read two or three start off the day nice fresh with a delicious meal of your that's the way you can start off the day that already you stole 15 20 minutes from the Satan you already started off the day in a good way if you have more time of course more time after that you know at some point during the day you know you could take an here and there that's also good number three is having a having somebody that you study with uh that uh uh you know you have a set time to you learning with them learn with them a half hour a day uh or you know it's a uh or more depending on your schedule uh and part of that time will be uh you know we'll be learning Y in fact I have a uh one uh uh one dear T and friend that uh has actually been K with some of my other talim uh for years already one guy actually has been with him for seven years and he teaches him y already for seven years and other things uh and he studies with them if anybody's looking for a uh I could try to help you with it as far as uh arranging somebody to study with you for you know but again uh if you already have one uh then uh use what you have but uh certainly if you need one uh you know let me know and I could uh try my best to arrange it but the point being is to be dedicated to set time every day to learn it uh it's not it's not a book that you need to learn for an hour two hours at a time you can learn it for 20 minutes a half hour at a time uh each day you know uh if you have a lot of time to learn a day an hour you know but uh again it's all depends on on the quantity of time that you have to learn for the entire day should Jewish man put effort into learning Hebrew including for certain major prayers or is it better they focus on learning it all depends on the amount of time that they have to learn every single day if a person has two hours or more per day to learn then they could spend 15 minutes 20 minutes a day learning a little bit of Hebrew it's not going to hurt but if they only learn an hour a day less than two hours a day they don't have time to learn Hebrew they just need to learn the basics of what to say when to say it and uh eventually they could uh uh you know spend some more time learning Hebrew but if they have three four five hours a day to learn then certainly they could put a half hour 40 minutes of that time to learn a little bit more Hebrew if they want for a period of time not forever for a period of time don't make Hebrew your Judaism Hebrew is not Judaism Hebrew is a language that is used in Judaism but it's not a prerequisite in order for you to be a righteous Jew no one goes to uh Heaven just because they speak Hebrew but people do go to to to Heaven because they know tah so if you could learn enough tah while simultaneously learning some Hebrew good for you but if you don't have time to do both then obviously you have to learn toah that's the priority is the live still available on uh Twitter I didn't do Twitter tonight for a couple of reasons number one Tik Tok is back on uh so these guys at Tik Tok are a little bit more lively uh uh Twitter is a little bit uh you know it's it's it's back you know it's not up to date they're you know they're working on it to make the the uh the videos over there the live feed over there better right now it's not really up to date uh the resolution is terrible the the uh the type the way that you could share it is terrible so it's not really something that uh is worth doing uh live stream on yet but I'm assuming that they're going to have a much better live stream available in the future and BM when they do BM we will uh consider certainly uh going over there I do think that Twitter is eventually going to replace uh the uh you know all the other major social medias and especially Facebook Facebook I personally hate but since many of you guys are still on Facebook we still do our feed on Facebook but if it was up to me I'd never use Facebook again Facebook is Lefty liberal anti- they've been censoring us already for several years not allowing our uh our own people to see things on our Pages censoring our own people we're not even talking about censoring us our ability to Market to new people they're not even allowing us to to Market to our own people to reach our own people with videos many people say listen I follow your page but I never see your stuff and then you realize that literally they're they're they're uh uh what is it called Shadow Banning us so uh and there's nothing that you can do about it I've tried to talk to them a million times I've tried to pay them they're they're simply uh enemy of the Torah hopefully hasem breaks them in half to the point where they're forced to Simply uh unshadow ban a lot of people uh you know that that that uh but in in the meantime this is what we have but that's why also it's good that we have our own feed on b. live uh we have YouTube and uh you know it's enough but you know and we have Tik Tok now but when uh there's other opportunities that present themselves certainly we'll always look at uh new ways to uh uh to reach more people uh you know it would ideally I would like for it to be only one place but the truth is that there's different people use different technology and my interest is to try to reach as many people as possible so I could help as many people as possible so if that means that I have to get another camera for another microphone another equipment another headache to reach another Jew somewhere else in the middle of the World by all means you know it's worth it it's worth it times a million um let's see if you forget to count the OM do you still say the blessing the next day no you no longer say the blessing from that moment on until the OM counts you say the uh uh the count but you don't say the OM you don't say the blessing on the OM can a woman have K that's another woman she's close to to study yutf yes uh should I feel bad Yeshiva guys call me a cheater for using MIT or art scroll should I only learn where no one sees me anybody that calls you a cheah for using art scroll is a he's will have to be punished for it and also have you should never talk to them again and the reason why is because uh David Feinstein Moshe Feinstein all of supported AR SCH and said uh that it's the greatest thing uh that was in the Torah world uh steinerman kvki many of uh appreciated a uh uh what art scroll did and uh and how it's a great benefit to the generation but the truth is it's not they didn't just appreciate it because they made it easier for people to understand theat that's not what they why they supported it so much there are other ways to understand theat and easier ways than just simply looking a and and breaking your head on it there are other ways so why do they appreciate it so much because they made it in such a uh nice presentation that it's makes it much more likely that the person could not only arrive at the correct the right meaning of what the gar says but also it gives him the ability to now use all of the energy that he has to actually develop upon it and understand to understand more than what the is is is saying from theat he's not exerting all of his energy on arriving at theat he's exerting his energy on other things on learning more on on learning on learning uh uh uh more details the problem is with people that are against the the the arch it's usually people that are the complete ignoramuses they've never completed anything in their life they've never completed theas at least once and they've never completed tosot they've never completed any real schem to speak of maybe they completed a a basic book by localid other than that they didn't complete anything of value maybe they complet a few here and there but never complete but they have a lot of jealousy and they don't know how to control jealousy they don't to control their mouth they don't have basic level of midot they don't know the basic you're never allowed to tell anybody not to learn T in the way that is making him successful it's this is for what they did they have no idea what kind of hole they build themselves in they have no idea what they did to themselves literally if I was if I was them I would cry on the floor right now I would cry on the floor bang my head on the floor and forgives me for for what they did you don't have no idea how much bad people get for doing things like this because what they do is they discourage people from having any sense of achievement without having anything else that that is equivalent and the worst part about it is that they're not doing it for the betterment of that person they're just doing it purely out of jealousy they're doing it purely out of arrogance nothing good ever comes out of them you cannot be right and ra MOS Feinstein wrong you cannot be right and Davin wrong you cannot be right by by R Steinman wrong you it's not possible for these little peanuts nothing zeros that do not even have half a sh behind them to be right and one of to be wrong it's simply impossible I spoke to some people from Arch I spoke to some people that are serious literally the the the amount of wisdom behind what they put there is beyond what an average person can even comprehend the average person doesn't even benefit from what Arch could offer but the average person doesn't understand that Arch is not making the gamar easy for you it's just simply eliminating the chances of you making a mistake on the basics real learning happens after that real learning is developed after you got theat that's the part that you have to break your head no matter how many translations you have so that's That's how little these people know they don't understand that what AR girl offers you is not all the details and the secrets and all it doesn't think for you it gives you the basics in order to eliminate the mistake I've spoken to a lot of young many times they went to yes their whole life they learn the the way that people learn I ask them okay what are you learning now okay no what's what P what D are you on they don't even know what dff they're on they don't even know what dff they on okay what's the last sugya that you learned uh I think it was uh the show they're not even sure okay no fine tell me what what do you know tell me what you know nine out of 10 times even what they think they know is wrong why because they don't understand the language nine out of 10 times the Bim do not understand the language anywhere near as they think they understand it and that little difference that small difference in understanding the language makes all the difference makes all the difference like the amount of of of ignorance a person has to have to to criticize a that supported something to help people understand the basics is beyond because what ends up happening is that people don't understand that there are certain terminologies in Judaism in in the talmud in the Torah that there is no correct translation for it in English or any other language and thereby require certain commentary on it and if you do not know that you're not going to understand anything you're not going you're going to stand wrong sometimes there are certain lingual that are used by Pim that they're saying let's say now there was a the famous but there's a that if you only put the one Pik on it it's referring to my brother it's not a it's not it's spelled the same way as a but it has one p instead of two the point being is if a person learns a lot of Pim they know exactly what I'm talking about one p two they exactly know if they don't learn Pim they're thinking that whoever quoted this is is making a mistake because they're calling this person a uh an author of uh of a book that was written 800 years ago when the the author really what wrote a book 20 years ago 100 years ago so the average person reading a tamut today is not taught a lot of this stuff the average person is not even taught to start a and finish a usually they give them random pages from different places so when a person learns art school from beginning to end reads everything on the page I could assure you that person will become a much bigger than the vast majority of people that are are out there needless to say all of the people that are mocking him all of the people that are making fun of him all of them without exception most of those people many times will not even become will not even be religious in a few years why because it's mid to discourage somebody from learning it comes from arrogance it comes from a bad place and it's it's it's it's literally something that if they understood what they did they would cry on the floor like they cry on the floor for doing that and unfortunately I've had many many stories of people doing that sometimes even rabbis sometimes even rabbis and all they only realize they did something bad after they destroyed the kid he doesn't want to learn anymore because he feels like his three4 of a m that he finished with archco is not good enough he has to start all over he doesn't have the energy and he loses everything whereas I've had an come to me I've had come to me he was already an five seven years for seven years meaning he went throughout the entire Yesa system his father was a rabbi he was his whole life learned his whole life became a after seven years when I met him he came to me he told me I told him I started talking about what he learns this that and the other thing I learned you know a little bit already and I told him what you um which M have you completed he said I did and I said what for what 20 times 50 times what do you mean what do you mean what do you mean you're 30 years old you finished two 7 years in a your whole life he goes yeah it takes us a long time to finish I said you're killing yourself I told him what you're doing is wrong what you're doing is against what taught you go to the writes a whole CH about learning and how that they do in today is literally destroying people it's not helping people many all of were against it many of were against the way the people teaching yes today with all this pool and going back and forth five hours on the same page all this stuff is not the way that you learn to either way I told them you're killing yourself for no reason you're not going to become to this way learn Arch C learn Arch you'll be able to start finishing you'll be able to learn don't take four years three years to finish it's crazy you could finish it in in a month two months if you learn more less obviously but uh certainly it shouldn't take uh uh three four years to finish and needless to say two m in a lifetime 30 years old already seven years in a and all they learn is all day seven years to long story short he was B I was fortunate enough to convince him after that he started finishing one M after the other finish Shabbat finish AB finish a many others he uh each time he finished it every time you know he would send me a video of his how happy he is how it changed his life he finally knows something and it helped so again if a person knows anything anything about t they would never in their Wildest Dreams ever speak against another person learning needless to say another person having a uh more likely uh opportunity to understand theat from learning artle only arrogant ignoramuses speak against it nobody that's worth a grain of salt will speak against it uh and uh and again because it's not speaking against the book it's it's speaking against logic and it's speaking against that vouched for them and they didn't vouch for them for no reason now if a person is just starting right now he's figh six seven 8 nine years old he's learning Torah he's Advanced he's ready to start learning talud of course you give him a regular talud you don't give him an art scho because he can learn everything from the beginning has all the time in the world he's 10 years old nine years old but if a person is About You by 18 20 25 30 35 there's no need for him to go back to uh uh that you need learn the way that is going to get you to pretty much be on an even playing field with somebody that's been learning their whole life you're an even playing field on day one and that is what is necessary that is going to give a person a sense of accomplishment that is necessary for them to achieve anything in their life thank you very much for learning with me maym bless each and every single one of you I need to keep some of my energy to do another lecture later today uh tonight in Hebrew uh and but uh this year will be online on YouTube later on uh tomorrow and again anyone that wants to donate support uh can go to our website BH torah.org orem.org or go to the store the BH Kyro store and order some stuff to distribute in their Community USBS the cards which are certainly my favorite thing to give out to people because it gets them directly to where they need to learn some of these movies watch these movies get inspired and then learn the rest of the lectures watch it learn it and be holy call to B [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music]
