Best Torah APP & Books, Xmas Learning, Vasectomy, Religious ESAV versus TANYA -STUMPTHE RABBI (72)

[Music] everybody um we're uh back here Wednesday night doing our stamp the rabbi uh sh this is a time for each one of you to ask your questions uh it's even more interactive than ever simply because now we're doing it with uh all of you online online followers online sikim that uh watch us all the time and always ask me when can you ask a question this is your time ask your questions we'll uh have a help us give us answers today sh will be for forat ran s Anan Leana s sah B Lana umit B Elana b m tal Stefan Ben Karina Talam osri Ben Doris and um and for of Gabi b elad sha Ben faran and all of Mara but Julie and AAA and all of the wonderful people that continue to support us through resources whether it be money time expertise fantastic fantastic people uh that who created in the world and connected us with them so we have a we have we have a sweet with a lot of interesting things but uh really the thing is is that many times we start talking and we don't get enough time to answer a lot of the questions so everybody uh send your questions to the thread on the Facebook send your questions to the thread on the Facebook send them away the only thing that I ask you is that the question have you know be appropriate and have enough Kamina meaning that it's a meaningful question and not just a uh um you know something uh that's that necessarily meaningful uh I don't you know I'm assuming you understand what I mean but other send send a question a few things while you guys are preparing your questions while you guys are preparing your questions we'll talk a little bit about couple small things uh that uh really big things that uh we need to talk about this time uh first off uh even though we have a lot of people that uh have downloaded our app it's still nowhere near as much as people that are subscribed to our other channels our uh uh YouTube channels uh Facebook page and so on again I highly highly recommend that each one of you uh sign up and download if you have a smartphone which I'm assuming you do uh download the uh app it's a kosher app there's no commercials there's no distractions I even put the bem um link for the app on the uh Facebook thread for anyone that just goes to the first comment uh it's simply uh.org getapp be.org slet app it's the is spelled with two e's so b e e z r a t h a s h m.org SLG a p p get app and the reason why we're pushing this even more now than ever is uh simply because of all of the different stories uh that that we get from uh unfortunately from uh different people about how people are falling they're falling they're falling they start doing CH they start watching sh they start doing good things and uh unfortunately the uh the problem is is that there are certain uh sins that uh they're falling to on a regular basis one of the most common uh is wasting time wasting time wasting time may not seem like such a big sin but but it is especially for someone that's already a learned individual it's it's called T it's in essence like you're U canceling out the Torah instead of using your time to learn tah you're using it to watch nonsense to do stupid things to to watch movies or or or all types of other things and unfortunately the internet and the televisions in the world today are full of them to no end there's literally 24 hours a day programming and many times people that are on the Internet or or watch us on Roku or watch us on all these other different wonderful things that gave us to use to reach people uh they start uh sometimes veing off and looking at other things end up uh you know stopping their sh or even right after sh they end up you know burning a half hour an hour two hours watching things that are just really not going to help them in their life so the app gives you the uh you know sniper Focus that you need to learn a appropriately many times people watch like they're watching a movie like it's almost like a superficial learning and that's why it's no wonder where you have sometimes people they can watch for 20 years and nothing changes because that's not the way you're supposed to watch a is supposed to watch it whether it's live or it's a a recording you're supposed to watch it with a notebook and you got to take some notes of different things that you uh want to remember you got to study it not just watch it and I tell this to my students all the time study the shim I myself to this day when I learn with r I end up after we learn live together I end up watching the shim many times almost all the time I watch them at least once or twice more uh if it's depending on a sh simply because I want to study it I want to remember it I want to write down some notes I want to go over certain things it's very very important to uh to study the sh because then you're going to be able to apply to your life then you're going to be able to remember it and not you know be a person that's watching for 5 10 years and still have the same knowledge nothing has changed and uh so it's the distractions that people have on the internet and everywhere else and sometimes even in the comments you know I know that you guys enjoy the live feed where you watch the Sho live you feel like you're here and that's wonderful but sometimes you know I've had to make comments to uh to tell you guys to stop doing the comments between each other where sometimes people will have a whole full-blown conversation while the sh is going which is not only bad for them but also distracting for other people you know when you watch you have to in essence feel as if number one the the speaker is right in front of you and of course you wouldn't be having a conversation in front of them uh if you're a polite person and second of all even more is there also is watching and who is not happy if a person is more interested in somebody else's shoe size and somebody else's you know hobbies and somebody else's crazy thoughts and somebody else's heresy while there's a shi going so the beautiful part about the app is that the app eliminates all of those distractions because all you have in front of you is the app and you listen to the you listen to the now of course throughout the day sometimes you get busy you got stuff to do no problem you can close the app and still listen to The Shield it automatically converts it to uh to audio lot of wonderful things to be done in that app I can't emphasize it enough we we have an app you go to the App Store it's called and you'll be able to see it there and now also when you type inm you also find our other new app that we have for our dear r m r Ys mrai his app is now officially launched uh quite a few people have already signed up and many more people are signing up so these are two apps that are pretty much you have the tah in your pocket you could watch tah without any distractions I highly recommend everybody watch the shim on there you have the ability to watch it in regular speed double speed one and a half you could donate there you could ask questions there uh you could do a lot of wonderful things there and most importantly you could focus on the Torah itself so with that being said uh the uh the other thing that I wanted to talk about which even though we've discussed it in in the past years it's a uh it seems like a something that we have to continue repeating uh because either people have not heard us say it or they just didn't get the point yet so tomorrow according to the gim H there's a uh holiday called Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving you know although the uh the go will tell you that uh or the Jews actually will tell you no this is not a religious holiday we're just uh you know you know being thankful and so on so is this m Feinstein Shalom which is the biggest r that America ever had and one of the biggest raban in history okay so you understand who we're talking about we're talking about is this is K American Judaism and quite frankly Anglo Saxon Anglo Saxon Judaism pretty much is dependent on him you have him you have uh you you know the these are your your foundations these are the Clos also was one of the but as far as as far as what everybody's the if you will the the modern day if you will is the you know is of course you also have but the point being is that you have a situation where you have one of theim one of the biggest rabbis that they uh that That Ever Walked on a Surface you know in America telling us that if this Thanksgiving if this Thanksgiving is something you did once in your as a Jew obviously as a as a non-jew you could do whatever you want you know as far as the Thanksgiving it's a uh it's not necessarily recommended uh even for njws because it's quite frankly an ugly holiday they're celebrating the massacre of countless American Indians so it's an ugly holiday but for more details on that you can watch my shield that I have made in uh last year it's called Uh uh Thanksgiving uncensored or something like that um or uncensored truth about Thanksgiving either way you go to my channel you type in uh Thanksgiving and you'll see the whole sh half hour sh about it but Einstein says clearly as a Jew if if you did it one time in your life with your fellow Jews with your family with your friends whatever it is um that's one thing there's Anil for that there's a leniency for that but to celebrate it to celebrate it every year on the same day is a t it's forbidden by the Torah why because number one you're making it a you're making it a permanent law you're making it a permanent law where it's becoming something that you do every year on a regular basis on the same day like like like kanuka every year they're always in the same day you know P every year is in the same day so to celebrate anything that's outside of the tah outside of what our sages instituted as a as a day that you do anything is forbidden to have you know you could say no but it's not a it's not a religious holiday we're just being thankful well you should think twice about that number one Shalom says that if you look at some of the older encyclopedias where some of the kosher Jews the kosher Gentiles speak about this holiday they say that it is indeed a religious holiday for them so the foundation of this Thanksgiving is a religious holiday so and he actually says that he thinks that aside from the fact that it's forbidden to do this holiday he thinks that anyone that eats turkey on this day is is connected to a it's connected to idolatry it's to that extent it's to that extent this you can't say oh no I don't think he knows what he's talking about this is one of theim of America uh and so now he's basing this on what MOS Feinstein said MOS Feinstein said if you did it one time in your life it's one thing but to go and celebrate Thanksgiving on an annual basis every year uh you know at the same day and you're eating uh the same food as the go you're eating the turkey and all that stuff and you know it it's forbidden it's forbidden for a Jew to do it because you're adding a holiday to the Torah worse yet worse yet what makes this even something that we have to keep repeating every year and not just republici the same shu is that I personally believe that it's pretty clear for anyone with eyes and ears and a little bit of knowledge in the Torah that Jews celebrating Thanksgiving actually brings a lot of Dean a lot of judgment to the world and I'll tell you why when we tell people listen Shabbat is coming Shabbat Shabbat is coming many times many times people are saying oh yeah yeah Shabbat you know Shabbat like they don't understand what's the big deal of Shabbat it's like it's every week it's every week what's the big of Shabbat they don't look at it as uh the way they should even if they're religious they don't necessarily always look at it the way they should many do but not enough better yet we say oh the holidays are coming PES is coming sometimes you'll see half the people if not more say o wow PES oh man I don't like this I don't like this I can't believe I have to prepare for this I can't believe I have to do this now we have to clean now we have to eat matah now we have to this and people start complaining about the about the holiday that gave us as a gift they say oh Yip is coming oh I'm so hungry what it hasn't started you're already hungry and they start complaining about the holiday say you know most of the time we talk about Jewish holidays and people complain about them sometimes they're disappointed they're coming or they feel anxiety that they're coming but yet when it comes Thanksgiving no one feels anxiety no one feels pressure no one dislikes it and I believe that this brings judgment to the Jewish people because his his holidays his gifts that he gave us we treat them as if they're like used products but the product of theim we are we're celebrating and many times people act as if they have a lot more fun during this Thanksgiving than they do on or Yip or even on they act like as if it's better and it's there's a verse in the Tor that says to Jeremiah he says that they they left me the Wellspring of of pure water and replace me with a broken sistern broken sisters places where there's little tiny little puddles of whatever is left over instead of the The Living Water that's endless from Hashem we replace them with little puddles that we find in the streets that's in essence when we replace the Hol in the kadus of Shabbat and the celebration of our holidays that hasem gave us whether it be Hanukah or it be Pim or be even Yip as the says there's no better day for the Jewish people like Yip even though you're fasting and even though it seems like it's bad it's one of the greatest days for the Jewish people because that's the day that hm cleans us up if you're not excited about yam K but you're excited about Thanksgiving I promise you this does not look good on your report card it does not look good on your report card with AEM because you're replacing you're replacing the the the sweet endless pure water of a with a broken sister so this Thanksgiving I know that you know some some of you are already used to it and you feel like maybe you're going to offend some people I promise you it's much better to offend people than to offend AEM much better it's better that you offend people by following hasem than offend Hashem by following people and you have to simply just give it up don't show up to these events don't show up not even for a second now gim on the other hand you that are you know not Idol worshippers but righteous go that want to celebrate this holiday again I think it's an ugly holiday I think anyone that knows about the holiday thinks it's an ugly holiday uh but even if you say no no we're not really celebrating it uh for what it's really about we're just using this as an opportunity to get together with family yes you have a uh you know you have a permission to do it but uh I personally would recommend choose a different day choose a different day don't do it on that day every year use a you know do a different day instead of the 25th do it 24th do it 26th do it 29 do it on the 1st do it any other day you don't have to necessarily do it the same day that all of this tum all of this impurity is coming to the world you know so it's not a good day in the world needless to say for and for anyone that's following tah so it's I highly highly recommend that people forsake this holiday and simply abandon it and just stick to our holy tah go and use that time and resources and money and happiness to prepare for Shabbat which is only 48 hours away you know go prepare for Shabbat go prepare for something good stop wasting your time eating a bunch of turkey on a day that a bunch of people died it's not it's not a nice thing to do it really is not a nice thing to do it's like saying you know let's uh let's uh celebrate the day that your mom died let's celebrate the day that your wife died your cousin died your this who wants to do that it's not nice so that's the thing you have to look at it from other people's perspective also even though you don't know them and and so on it's it's just not a good day for Jews it's it's it's a horrible thing as says it's uh at least at least it's the dust of if [Music] not Feinstein said it's completely forbidden now I'm sure that some of you are going to find some Rabbi big or small say no it's a nice day it's a nice day listen the way we go with is we go with the we go with the biggest of and the best that's who we go by we don't go with someone else that said something we go with who's the biggest who is the one that is is followed now if you are ASI you're you're this you have your G everybody's got their G they they're their giant Sage if you're giant Sage if you're holy Sage said something different that's one thing but I highly doubt he did why because again it it's clear it's clear that this is not something that's good for us it's not something that's good for us uh there's enough judgment in the world already today uh there's no need to bring more uh you know you see simply that uh you know judgment is such a scary thing that even the the biggest sikim in history was scared of it even the biggest sikim in history was scared of it I mean just look at the whole issue with you know the there was a question that was asked re uh you know earlier today someone asked how come how come a uh a uh abah and both used the same tactic to deal with a when they went to his country and uh they pretended as if their wives were really their sisters didn't they have amuna has nothing to do with not having amuna so has nothing to do with it so why did abam lie why did abah it didn't technically wasn't a lie but even if you want to say that it wasn't exactly 100% true why did do it why did say that Sarah is his sister why did his son do the same thing why did they say why did they say that their wives are their sisters and not their wives now the PUK itself says the P the verse over there says says to I told you that she was my sister because I was afraid that since I saw there was no here there's no fear of Heaven here nobody's afraid of God here they'll kill me once they find out she's my sister and the same and the the kazal says Theos onos says that uh who just followed the footsteps of his father he knew the story he knew what what his father did when a situation presented itself and he followed the footsteps of his father is there better footsteps than abrah ainu so he followed so do that have to do with them not havinga no first and foremost there is no reason to put yourself in danger there's no reason to put yourself in danger if you see that there's a bunch of crazy people that are not afraid of God that are are surrounding you there's no reason for you to just say oh yeah I'm a I'm a Jew there's no reason for you to do that there's no reason for you to scream that you're a Jew surrounded by a bunch of people that are Nazis there's simply no reason for it why you putting yourself in danger you could just simply do what we talked about last night in is the which is you're you're clear danger over there they're stronger than you what do you do run away go away that's what you got to do do in this case could not run away what other option did he have his option was to just simply lie about it and just pray to Hashem that he takes him out of this situation and it's this is what Tor wants tah does not want you to put yourself in a situation where in essence you're forcing God's hand to give you a miracle because you put yourself in danger we're not allowed to do such things so it's very important to know that this is at the highest level of connection to hem but yet they themselves knew that if you're surrounded by danger there's a way to deal with it and a strategy what's the strategy run away from it don't don't face it face to face there's no reason for that if Hashem wants to deal with it he'll deal with it on his terms not the ones that you give him the second thing is is that andu all of the righteous people that we have mentioned in our Torah they were so confident about their own Merit account abam says that he's a dust and Ashes says we're nothing not even dust and Ash we're absolutely nothing says you know I need says he's a worm and not a person a yobu is saying that uh he's a he already all the merits and the good and the and the blessings that hasem gave him is already more than he deserves so it's not that there was some self-conscious losers or something like that Shalom but rather they weren't so confident about their merits why because they saw that everything that hasem gave them is a blessing whether it's viewed as good or bad by the people doesn't make a difference everything he's given them is a blessing and maybe all of these blessings are already they see it's already more than perhaps what they deserve so so to put themselves in a situation where they have to spend if you will those blessings to get themselves saved out of a situation is not a good idea and a person needs to understand that doesn't owe us anything he doesn't owe us anything he is the king we owe him everything so to go out there and uh put ourselves in a situation where we think oh no you know what I'm gonna celebrate this this Thanksgiving and uh but because I do enough because I I I DOI and I go to and I givea so hasm is going to forgive me for this Thanksgiving don't be so sure of your merits to say that you could just freely make sins especially when it's going against the said don't do it said don't do it you're going to go up to sh you're going to see one of these that you went against as the for your Dean for your Dean he's going to be the that judge for your for your he's going to decide he's going to decide whether you have or not as a person is a person really that confident in themselves to put themselves in a situation like that no one should ever be that confident you know so the key is to understand there are certain things that to says you have to stay away from you have to stay away from this is one of those things that you have to stay away from it's a it's not for Jewish people and again it's a uh if you want to eat turkey eat it on a different day you could eat it a day before a day after a week after you could eat it every single day just don't do it that day why because once you do it that day you connect to the Tuma to the kipa that is from that day and that's not something that you want in your life it's simply not so with that being said hopefully you guys have some questions let's see what you guys have all right let's see where do I send questions okay I think you got it you're sending a question it's asking where to send questions it's kind of funny okay dear Rabbi uh David sang is asking this what is the best book to read for one to fix and refine their character traits what advice does the Torah give for overcoming the flaw of laziness okay so the people ask this question very often what is the best book to read the truth be told there is no best book and the reason why as you see from you know the library behind me the library on the side you can see in this one Library over here and the library outside BM are to is endless what I have is not even 1% of 1% of 1% of what's available out there you could have literally buildings full of books about our tah and it's still not a fraction of what our tah is uh you know so it's a our to is endless and in essence every single part is a little different from the other or a lot different from the other because it's a process learning the toah is a process where you exert effort to learn to toil over it to support it in every way you possibly can to to to make sacrifices for it and then eventually hasem gifts it to you he givs it to you you don't become a because you have a special brain you become a because you're trying to learn T and eventually hasm sees that you're trying and then he givs it to you this is what the mid says about M raenu was in Mount sa 40 days 40 nights at the end of the 40 days and 40 nights of studying oneon-one with a himself he says to I forgot everything I forgot everything what am I going to do says now I'm going to gift it you cuz I saw that you exerted yourself 40 days 40 nights you didn't eat you didn't sleep I saw we forgot everything we learned he gave it to him like he gave him like a little little uh USB inside his head CH everything everything in the tah inserted in there you know the entire to he actually knew more than what we have in the world today cuz he actually had the entire tah whereas we have the essence of tah the point is is that the Torah itself is enormous so there is no best book for any one particular thing but it's a culmination of books so there are recommended books uh for these which I'll mention a few uh but again one is not necessarily always better for than the other because sometimes this book is best for one person a different stage of his life than another so some of the books that are very uh you know famous well-known books you have the written almost a thousand years ago is a very indepth book it's uh if you're getting the English one English version I think it's two volumes um very deep insights about character traits character development bet all of the tools that a person needs to have I mean if you read this book thousand times it still wouldn't be enough not because it's that hard but just because each time you're fold you're unfolding another layer of the onion another you're peeling another layer of the onion you'll learn more the second time and the third time but you shouldn't necessarily read just that one book why because we have many others you also have kav kav from a few hundred years ago this is also two volume if you're reading it in English kabha is has just enormous pearls and diamonds in it one after another one after another you never get enough each one about character development then you have Miss the famous or in English path of the just many say that he wrote this book withes The the says that if he was alive if if the if the was alive he would crawl to go see him he would crawl across the across the world just to go see him that's how holy he uh he uh he viewed his book The so this book is a fantastic book there's actually a very good series by our dear ysep mrai that he made about it many years ago which is still extremely popular and relevant highly recommend that it's called path of the just series and you could actually see it on his app uh on his new app uh so uh this uh path of the just goes into sections you know two dozen sections two dozen sections about you know each part of your servitude of hem by developing character traits by being zealous by being Speedy to your to your to do mitv overcoming laziness you know becoming uh more clean not just physically but spiritually clean and so on and so forth he has enormous enormous Kim even the preface the the introduction from the author author itself needs to be studied in in detail that's just the first page where he's writing uh just the details of what this book is about that itself is studied by many many of how much beauty is in it how much uh he has uh uh the the humility that he has is unbelievable where he says listen I'm not bringing you anything new you know I'm just reminding you of what you already know but perhaps forgot or not taking uh you know taking into account daily in reality almost the entire book is brand new to every person that reads it even the hund time it's unbelievable and this is one of the great books you also have the very famous sh sh all I could say is this is the nephew of the ran you know written about 800 years ago all I can say is if you read the sh you read the whole sh CH and you don't do chv you have a certification of theuk theuk you have a certification you can make yourself a nice postcard put it right next to your license plate everything tell everybody who am I dauk what do you mean why theuk theuk is simply a uh you're you're you're stuck you're uh just someone that cannot grow you're just somebody that cannot move there's a it's almost like all of the uh openings in your body are now closed it's why that book is is just one of those books where you read it every every single sentence is life just life altering every sentence not every paragraph every every every sentence is life altering if you understand what he's saying he scares the living lights out of you first of all right off the bat and throughout the whole book on top of that he tells you about things you didn't even think were sins and he tells you how big of a sins they are and he gives you countless sources so I mean this sh it's perhaps one of the you know the greatest books ever written in the world uh needless to say to help do chuva to overcome uh you know flawed character traits that we all have then you have some things that are more more more recent of course you have r mra's book a very good book or you know compilation of many of his lectures that he's given over the years in book format then you have uh one of my personal favorites you have aen raimen he has a whole series of books that were recently translated to English uh that are just is one of the uh is the main book but then there's many others is uh just a book that every paragraph is like uh lightning hitting your your heart to to wake you up uh and and uh this is hard to find these English books by Rish are hard to find uh they quickly sell out and they don't stock anywhere quick enough this is uh one of the most important books in English and I highly recommend people uh get them if you can get a whole set we're in a uh you know uh process of of of trying to get some uh so we could uh give people an opportunity to get them but uh the point is is that it's a uh if you have access to it get it whatever he has in English if you're an English speaker whatever he has in English buy it they're all fantastic books each one of them has beautiful beautiful insights by one of the recent Shalom then you have a is byant and is uh this is a book of letters by where each one of the letters you pretty much have to read not that you should read you have to read at least four five six times just to get a gist of what he's saying because it's so deep philosophically it's so deep that he literally rewires your Nish as you're reading it it's a beautiful beautiful work unbelievable of course is one of the heads of the M movement and in uh one of the biggest Rim that we've had in the last several hundred years uh is is were Angels Among men needless to say he himself uh so you have you have that book and you have a also the these are the short letters of the from the previous generations that we have a whole series about of almost 30 lectures going over this one letter with something around 100 hours 100 hours of lectures just about this one letter that's how much you can study from it and we didn't even scratch the surface there's a lot more you could study about it so that book of course with commentary same thing with the this is the letter by the G to his family before he left uh to go to is uh many of the letters of the are studied by other because there's so much wisdom in them the point being is that you got to pick one got to pick one study it thoroughly move on to the next one study it thoroughly move on to the next one and little by little do the best you can to apply as much as you can and each time it's going to perfect your n next question where can someone who is sick disabled hospitalized learn Al regarding their duties also if you're in a hospital and can't eat kosher is it still a sin okay so as far as someone that's hospitalized um and uh you know to to to learn I mean you have a uh that all depends if this person is able to read if he's able to read then he should get himself a book uh you can get the get himself one of the volumes you can put them on top of the bed over there they usually have the uh I spend a lot of time in hospital so I know this uh part they all have this uh tables that you put your food on instead of putting the food on you put a book on there and you can read uh the entire volume of every week because you have so much time on your hands you don't have to spend time in the hospital but if you're already there get yourself if you're a get yourself you learned from there and uh you uh you could read again like I said you could read a lot in the hospital bed get yourself a book that's the best place now if you don't have the ability to get the book you don't have the ability to get the book and uh because uh you for one reason or another either it's money or there's no room whatever the case is today blessed us where there's a lot of the stuff is available online you go to artscroll.com and you have you can get many of their books in digital format they have a whole app on the uh uh on the iPad I believe and I'm sure and other things that you can simply buy their books but just digitally and you could just read the book through that and I'm sure you could do it with many other books and other uh other places on Amazon and on uh uh other uh uh apps that you could uh you can go to the you could read a lot of things on there uh again I'm referring to to English because in Hebrew there's no end to the amount of resources you have in English there's less but still a lot there's a lot of Al that you can read and I personally recommend for people to start off with the daytoday the day-to-day laws what to do you wake up in the morning that you let you die will you bless things like that and those two you could do a combination of both are going to help you get at least a very good understanding of your day-to-day responsibilities uh and Shabbat since Shabbat is the uh is the uh Foundation of all of the blessings and so on uh it's also in addition to that it's also a uh the foundation of all of the holidays meaning that whatever is forbidden on the Shabbat is forbidden on uh on the holidays with a couple of minor exceptions uh so it's a like cooking is allowed on the holidays if you do fire at to fire but on Shabbat there's no cooking allowed but as far as all the things that are forbidden on Shabbat and the things that are allowed on Shabbat are allowed on the other holidays with minor exceptions so when you learn the laws of Shabbat you are in essence learning most of the rules for all of the holidays at the same time so this you can do on uh digitally you can get the you can get the the uh digitally I'm sure it doesn't doesn't cost very much and they uh you could buy it and you could read it digitally now if you cannot do option one which is get the actual book which is always the best option you can't get the book and you don't have the ability to get the uh you online version either you don't for whatever reason what's the next bet you go and get a video video you go to uh uh uh you know the um internet you go to uh and and just listen to a uh lectures that have to do with day-to-day laws and like I said you could just type in laws of Shabbat laws of Shabbat and you'll see countless lectures of people talking about the laws of Shabbat or you can do laws of blessings and uh you will see countless lectures about blessings and that way you'll be able to uh do a lot of uh learning while you're in a hospital and to follow up with your second question if you in a hospital and you can't eat kosher is it still a sin uh that's a pretty vague question and the reason why I say that is what do you mean you can't eat kosher you can't eat kosher because it's not available there or you can't eat kosher because the hospital the doctor told you that if you eat kosher you're going to die I highly doubt it's the lather I highly doubt it's the latter the reality is that it's most likely the first that there's no Kosher available there so there are different organizations that uh actually come to hospitals and bring you kosher and bring you kosher food uh so you just have to make arrangements in the meantime try to eat whatever you can that is neutral that's kosher whether it's fruits vegetables a uh um you know things that are parve definitely not meat and chicken definitely not meat chicken there's no permission for that uh I mean so you uh you can't eat that because you're not dying uh as a result of not eating the meat uh so you can eat other things you can eat vegetables and things like that and today many hospitals are going to be able to uh meet your needs I've gone to many hospitals and uh you know at times they had it already ready there at other times they had to make a few calls but they got it with this the same day so uh it's a getting kosher food today is easier than ever there are literally millions of products that are Kosher whether it be cookies muffins uh uh all types of uh candies all types of uh microwavable food and so on and so forth so there really isn't a reason for you not to eat kosher if you're if you're in hospital because the hospital will be able to cater to you next question but to answer by the way to add one more small thing if let's say for example this is a hypothetical example the even brings if the doctor tells you eat this uh if you don't eat this pig you're going to die you eat the pig because your life is is is more uh more important than the than anything else that's not very common but again the point is is that it's a uh it's only if there's a life risk only if there's a life risk not if there's a convenience or a preference risk there's no such no no permission for that okay next question by Ethan at work they're doing y KES the gay rainbow Pride day am I allowed to work there even though I don't support it uh yes you are allowed to work there but you should not go to work on that day you should call in sick because in reality you should be sick to your stomach uh but uh don't go to work on that disgusting day uh don't be next to this this disgust don't be next to those people uh do not take any uh any part of the celebration don't nothing and you have to take off even if they tell you no we can't you have to come in on that morning you you you just say listen I'm sorry I can't show up I don't feel well and that's it uh and there's nothing they can do next uh n what is the difference between very very good question okay so there is a com constant term uh where you hear people that speak uh which is what he said okay so now there are certain things in the Tor that are crystal clear black and white black and white allowed not allowed meaning you are not not allowed to drive on Shabbat you are not allowed to drive on Yip unless there's a life risk meaning you're driving to take yourself or somebody else to the hospital to save their life otherwise there's no permission to drive not a car not a golf cart nothing not even not not allowed to even think about such things it's not allowed doesn't matter if you found some uh some sticker that says this is a kosher golf cart for complete nonsense there is no driving on Shabbat that is Crystal Clear okay now so there are certain things that are crystal clear there are certain things perhaps that it is a uh there is room for error there not necessarily room for error but room for leniency I should say room for leniency so it's a meaning that if you are uh going to uh um uh do it uh the the right way the uh the best there meaning okay let's rewind there is let's say certain things that you can do in multiple ways there's the perfect way and then there is the okay you did it stick it's fine it's not the preferable way but it's fine so that's in essence what it is so this is usually in places where there is a leniency there's a leniency meaning that there is you're supposed to do this mitvah this way but if you uh you didn't do it then uh you could still it's still a pass let me think of some a uh some examples okay one example is for a uh when you have KES now our days our days start at night our days start at night so you're supposed to say during your prayer but on the night before the night of if you will actually ofes you're supposed to already start saying you're supposed to already say start adding this little paragraph to your prayer but because it's the night it's just or it's the M really it's the M before of thees is not official Okay then if you don't do it you don't have to repeat the whole prayer whereas if you forget it the following day you forget to do it then you do have to repeat it the whole prayer so let me re re re reord this okay ones ones which is the first day of the Jewish month we Jewish people have to add a paragraph to our prayers to our amid prayers and to our okay now the uh this is supposed to be done uh the uh really the m before officially begins and even in okay but if you don't do it you miss it you forgot you forgot to do it you don't have to repeat the whole prayer all over again but if you forget the following day meaning on the morning prayer which is the official the official uh day the official KES you forget there then you actually have to repeat the whole prayer again so what is that now that means that the preferable way the perfect way to do it is by saying already the on you know on during that prayer that's the but if you forgot to do it then you don't have to repeat it because your blessing will pass meaning it's after the fact already there's no need to fix it there's no need to redo it that's in essence what it is is the is the first Choice that's the preferable that's the best way but the is after fact meaning that there's no need to correct it since you've already done it this is it's it's acceptable because there's a leniency here but this again in this particular case with the part with the extra prayer for the fores is only available on the night the night ofes it's not available on the day ofes on the day of you could only do the you could only do or else you have to repeat the whole prayer all over again but the night before because there's a leniency there there's a because is not officially the and is not a the same biblical obligation like you have so because of that if you forget to do the prayer there then it passes you don't have to repeat it that's I hope I explained it well but again in essence the the basics of the meaning is is that is First Choice that's the way you're supposed to do it but if you didn't do it that way you did it uh uh you made a mistake not you made a mistake and you did it another way but there there is a permission there's a permission to have a leniency there then it's called now you're not allowed to do on purpose meaning you can't just say listen I don't really have to do this extra prayer really because if I don't do it they'll let me go anyway so you can't just go and on purpose do is is in essence a permission to make a mistake not a purposeful mistake you know purposeful mistake is not a mistake purposeful mistake it's a sin okay it's a uh this is a mistake but it's still in essence it passes it passes so that's the that's the difference between and next question by one what was the purpose in ancient times when reading the Torah for were there Jews from different parts of the world ah okay so the uh the mid sorry the mosos it's called is a many people think that uh myself included at some point that OS wrote ulos wrote Theos but that's actually not true uh the T was actually given to us at Mount saai and but then many many years later it was lost and ulos the convert brought it back with his Kusa and wisdom that he had he brought it back to the world if you will so now what is this in essence this tumulos the biggest difference between tumulos versus let's say the commentary by Rashi is that while Rashi gives you details of uh commentary details him and the ran and thei and the mid and all of these other mid while they're giving you a lot of commentary about behind the scenes things that are happening that you're not perhaps reading clearly in the verses that the Theos is in essence explaining to you literally what's being said here and that's in essence what we got at Mount sa because A's language the way he speaks is not the way people spoke it's not the way we speak even if somebody is a uh you know a uh it's first language is Hebrew uh and even if he not only speaks Hebrew but he knows tah if he's one of the he still doesn't speak like the Torah he doesn't speak the same conversation like the Torah it doesn't speak because we don't speak that way it's just not the way that we communicate so many times a person that uh that does not know on a high level is not going to understand what is the literal translation not commentary but translation of what's being said here like what is this actually saying here because it's God talking and it's not a human being meaning that if it's God talking we can't miss what he's saying we have to know what he's trying to tell us here where if it's a person talking you know if you don't want to pay attention you don't necessarily have to uh it's disrespectful but nonetheless it's not your your life is not on the line like it would be uh if uh if it's God talking so at Mount SAU got both the written Torah and the oral Torah and part of the oral tah was the was the which is in essence telling us what's being said here literally no commentary background but rather just literally what the verse means so in previous generations and really only until recent history maybe the last 100 years or so uh and there are some traditions like in Morocco that still do it to this day uh in Yemen that still do it to this day uh where when the uh when the B would read the Torah scroll uh in public he would read a verse or a few verses and then stop and then there would be a which is somebody else that would tell people what did he just say not because they didn't speak Hebrew not because they didn't speakes but to make sure that they understood what is actually being said here because the language of the Torah is not everyday language even for the ones that spoke to Hebrew it's not everyday language because Hashem uses a uh clean language so for example uh many times in theem uses words that are the opposite opposite of what they mean uh specifically to keep them clean or better yet there is no words to describe the uh specific uh things in uh in in the world for example the the male member or the female you know sex organ there is no word in the tah for it there is no tah there is words that imply it but there is no words in the tah that are specifically that uh like in the streets of today unfortunately there's 500 descriptions for it because people have a filthy mind he doesn't have specific words for certain things because he speaks in a clean language same thing goes when it when he's talking about when women and men that are promiscuous so they when he says that it's forbidden for a woman to be a promiscuous he doesn't say it's forbidden to for a woman to be a a promiscuous but he says it's forbidden for her to be if you don't know what's the content of that particular verse actually means holy which is the opposite of promiscuous so explain to us obviously it's not forbidden to be holy but rather doesn't want to talk about his children in such a way so he's Ence using the opposite of that word the opposite of it same thing is used also inar many times in thear when it talks about Shalom that if make certain sins you know they will get punished what is it so it does the opposite it it learned from hasem so the they say if if does this then all of their enemies will be destroyed now of course if sins all their enemies are not going to be destroyed but we don't want to write that is going to be destroyed so that's what the followed in essence the uh their father in Heaven and used the same format use the same format so the the translator is not translating it from uh from Hebrew to a uh a different language necessarily but rather is simply telling you what the verses mean in your day-to-day language your day-to-day language and that was called originally and then later on at the time ofos was renamed to beos because he's the one that brought her back to the world question uh take notes was about to watch a movie then so there's no coincidence you're right there is no coincidence uh Jose go does the of not studying on Torah not studying Torah during Christmas still applied today or is it just for certain specific communities okay so let me give a little background for some people um there is a sect within within uh I think I believe today it's mainly that at some point there told them that not to study t on the day of t for the on their Christmas day uh not to study Tora during that day but rather uh you know because there is a from there decid there's a lot of Tuma in the world a lot of demons in the world resulting from all the sins that they're making during that uh Idol worshiping day and you don't want to give the strength of the Torah to these to these uh you know these other side beings if you will but this particular so so so these parts of again today I believe it's only uh every year they make it a uh a thing where on their uh the 24th of December I think it is that uh they don't study tah during that night uh they don't study T during the night and they do other things like play chess and uh and and the likes um and know so this is like a the big sages of of of of these that would be the one day year that they would actually you know do things that perhaps they didn't do the whole year uh like play chess and other things like that now this particular minhag this custom was not accepted was not accepted among the majority of is and actually quite the opposite quite the opposite in fact quite the opposite where you should learn even more Torah on this day because of all of the impurity that's being added to the world from this idolatry we in essence have to add more Purity in the world more Kusa in the world to fight it uh that's why the uhin uh uh he actually had a uh a yes where he had two shifts of Torah Learners where each one would learn 12 hours and when they completed the other one would continue to make sure that there is Torah being learned 24 hours a day all year round all year round so the uh the Minh of not learning on this uh this Idol worshiping day was not accepted not back then and not today even more so not today of not learning T you not only should learn tah on this day but you should actually learn extra tah uh and in fact many rebuked rebuked the people that did not learn tah on this day because they saw that people not learning tah ended up making a lot of mistakes during this day making making many sins on this day and it's a very very big mistake uh so again we're not going against their that originally instituted at their time we don't believe even that they uh planned on doing it permanently and we thought it was maybe for the time but either way this was not for all of Cl ISL but rather for specific communities at that time and it was rejected back then and even more so today uh to for for the rest of Cl completely rejected uh we need to learn t as the Torah itself says to us and there's a whole debate in between rim and about how much T you have to learn and the uh they they bring verses that you have to learn day and night all day all night and then bring another verse says if not for my Covenant meaning learning T day and night if there isn't somebody learning to lie at some point every single second of the day hasem at that point will destroy the world without a flood without explosion just simply the world will cease to exist all the atoms will stop spinning and pretty much everything will just simply disappear Soom that will stop learning because itself tells us that if would stop learning will destroy the world instantly instantly with no warning so this is also one of the biggest reason the gar itself goes and rebukes anyone that follows this custom today today especially with those no longer being in the world anymore it's a uh it's a very big rebuke because we need more and more to today more than ever uh more than ever so I uh I applaud you for asking the question and I highly highly recommend everybody to learn extra tah on that day uh because there's so much impurity added to the world that we have to uh we have to uh fight it uh Leia uh is asking yob and had the same voice and fooled into thinking that he was aik okay but when yob pretended to be is to get the blessings he mentioned AEM became suspicious because is never mentioned AEM shouldn't the fact that is would never mention or acknowledge AEM be an indicator to that he wasn't really a sadik to be in the mind of you have to be but I can tell you that uh the the dean from shim the dean from shim was for it to be this way was for it to be this way where saw from a different perspective than and uh this was a few few reasons for it number one grew up in a completely FR house his whole life his whole life his father is the his mom is she's the biggest most righteous woman that ever lived uh so that's his parents all he sees is kadus all day all night all he sees is new coming in and and uh you know becoming big all he sees is you know Holiness on the other hand she grew up around she grew up against bet her father was a rash murderer a uh the uh also did a lot of ugly things with with with other beings uh in lean the murderer the gangster that's who she grew up with her M the mid says her was filthy human being so she grew up around horrible people but yet she stayed holy she stayed holy but it doesn't mean she she was a fool opposite because she was so righteous and so smart she saw everybody for who they really were and she knew that asav was playing a game on but couldn't see it why because he was like the of all he saw the best in everybody and is only showed him good isav never showed him killing people asav showed him the opposite where he would come to his father and say Aba I just got some Sal do I have to give on ass salt I have to get a tithe on the salt now everybody knows that you don't have to give a tithe on salt but pretended to be so righteous that he said look I'm so precise with the that you know I I want to even give M the tithe on salt and and all types of similar things so he for to do that to play pretend you don't have to mention hasem you don't have to mention hasem you just have to pretend like you're smart there's many people that uh pretend like they're smart all the time I mean you could actually see it if you read comments sometimes on my YouTube channel you read comments sometimes you'll see people that pretend to be smart uh but the only thing they doing is they're just showing that they're obnoxious where instead of instead of a watching the lecture they determine what the lecture is about by the title and they decide to give you a whole write up of what they think so this is a person that's pretending to be smart because if he was smart he wouldn't do such a thing he wouldn't do such a thing he would actually watch the lecture and not that there's more to a book than just its cover but he's so obsessed with himself that he wants to give you his thoughts and his opinions or her thoughts or her opinions and many people are like that unfortunately there are many people that are pretenders they're Pretenders like as but they sound like yov where you have the uh people that are are simply Wicked but they look righteous that's why the verse says the voice is the voice of yov but the hands are the hands of as meaning that sometimes somebody sounds like yov but in reality they actions are ugly like as's so this is a uh many times in people that just portray hate for no reason like they there's one one uh one uh menal that uh pretends to be a and he decided that his life mission is to go and desecrate different particular in this case the T the the the one that started kabad now he's writing all types of things about the Tanya that he says oh see over here he said certain things and it's it's heresy Tanya is a heretic he says what a to him and W to his world is full this this idiot to say that the T was a heretic what an idiot what a but if you actually look at this guy what do you see you see a bunch of other people following him because he says he's a rabbi he says he did research he uses all types of uh sentences from the T and he tells you this is what they mean and this is what they don't mean he gives you his manipulated interpretations only to show what is he trying to do say no no the Tanya is bad and I'm good what are he trying to do he's trying to build himself a stage trying to build himself a stage first and foremost if this is watching or any of his followers are watching if the like like the S like many of the Giants even outside of kabad never said a single word about such a thing never said anything like that about the Tanya and in fact celebrated T's Tor said that it's KES Kim and this this Manu this despicable person from the year 5781 2020 is going to come and say oh he's a uh he's a cair he's a heretic that only an idiot would follow such words and only an idiot will actually publicize such words why because if the did not say it who are you who are you to say such a thing who are you now if you're going to go and you're going to say that someone today that's a nobody is a itic because he clearly says that are things that are heretical that's a different story but to go say a like the is heretic what do you think you are says such people that desecrate there's no cure to their ailment and I'm telling this to some of my own followers that I know brought this to my attention and I'm hoping you stopped it and you're throwing all this garbage out why because if you publicize this information and desecrate big from the past I'm telling you the amount of damage that's going to come to your life will not have a cure it will not have a cure why because this R that's doing it he sounds like but what he's doing is the hands of you want to help you help do you help them keep Shabbat 80% of don't keep Shabbat stop wasting seed almost everybody waste seed learn about most people don't even know you help about things that are relevant not about something that you have an opinion on that nobody in the world agrees you with agrees with and you're GNA say no no but the was against the way they implemented it not the teaching itself to manipulate the words of the of the even the like the is wrong but that's what happens when people ignorant and they look at the title of Rabbi as if it's a m and people are making a mistake they go against the they look they sound like yob but their hands are hands of so I highly highly recommend anyone that's going to say anything bad about any of the should think about it a thousand times and the only way you could ever say it is if you have only a can say it you can't say it why you say it you're putting yourself in trouble you're putting yourself in TR trouble it's a very big mistake it's a very big mistake the I'm telling you say such horrible things of what happens to such people in the in this world and the next highly highly recommend there's a whole website that started doing the stupid things and there one particular woman what she's bringing to our life she is like highlighting the stuff all day she publicizes this garbage all day she publicized this garbage on the internet desecrating the but in the name of righteousness she thinks she's a that's all she is stupid is all she is desecrating theim like that what are you listening to this yoyo this idiot that says that theim are Heretics who do you think he is you think he's bigger than the gim that we had walking on Earth today if todayi doesn't say it who are you to say it you have understand when I go say things about different like and man's freedom and all that I have permission to say it from the itself I have to do it I have tell me to do it it's not my own mind to go against a it's you're better off committing suicide than doing such a thing it's such a such a demented way of looking at things and I'm telling you I don't know who these people people are I don't have a personal relationship with them and hence the reason why I'm not even mentioning their names don't ask me who they are whoever it is knows who they are whoever it is knows who they are stop it you're going to ruin your life I'm telling you that I don't even know if there's Chua for what you've already done what I recommend is you delete every single post you've ever made and simply don't talk permanently just be quiet all you say is what to say from now one that's how bad it is I I I devised a couple of people to stop it and I don't know if they listen or they didn't and I'm telling you this because gave reminded me of this from this questions for some reason to go back to your question and get myself to calm down a little bit from all the danger that people put themselves in listen was was always in always talked about always said the other hand pretended to beik so he talked about but didn't really care about hm sometimes you have people they learn all day but they have no whatsoever why because it's easy to learn it's like a robot you learn it's memorization memorization a a b b c c d d e e e there's not uh you know learning just yes no doesn't take much of a genius to do learning the the and learning who what when and how it got to that's a different story that's much higher level but was pretending to be smart so it doesn't mean that he was talking about hasem all the time it just means that he was trying to make it seem as if he was very particular about MIT but but uh it was obvious that uh that this was uh him talking about hasem was not often because that's what the midash says the Mida says that as soon as uh as soon as yob said that's the reason why I was able to hunt these animals so quickly was taken back hold on a second he tells me he's a rationalist rationalist he tells me yes no allowed not allowed never talks about nothing like that so that got off guard why he says he doesn't say it but then he said hold on a second let me see and he feels his hands he feels his hands and he says oh that's the hands of Isa so what did do he can't see but also not that only that he can't see physically his prophecy didn't work at that moment because stopped it stopped his prophecy that moment didn't allow him to see why he wanted this to happen there are certain times in the Tor that in essence got involved for certain things to happen he got involved for example for for y y to sin with Tam says that pushed Y and gave him a uh a desire to be with a woman that for to his knowledge until later on was a z was a prostitute gave him this crazy thought to go do it Hashem gave him the thought hem made him go do it gave him this UNR irresistible desire to go do it why because the mhia comes from that relationship the mhia came from that from that uh from that relation that they had why because the in theal tell us that this is in essence a hiding things from the Satan not that hasm is scared of the Satan but in essence there are certain things that hm does to uh to fool the Satan to fool the Satan so this is one other thing same thing is that it says with a uh with David you know because David was really supposed to be a still life baby meaning die at birth that's what he was there was no uh years given to him so the Satan that knew about this ahead of time said oh so this this guy the only one that's going to bring Salvation but he's not going to live so okay so I'm freed so you just got to make sure he doesn't come to life but what happened AAR gave him 70 years of his life prayed to gave 70 years of his life and then later on gave him years point being is that these are different times that played with a uh with a uh with with the world even with free choice to a certain extent we also say it see with hardened the heart of par to make him say no to freeing am is in order to embarrass him even more in order to sanctify aem's name even more uh so he made it so that he Harden his heart that's why he didn't kill par at the end he let him live and Par became the uh the king of of nve he's the only one that survived and the reason why is because Hashem played with his free choice but Hashem did it for the sake of sanctifying his name and also embarrassing Egypt even more furthermore hasem took the free choice away from Theon he took the free choice from him and made him decide to go to war with is now you would think oh what's the big deal the big deal is a lot of people went to war with am is Buton was a nation of giants they were all Giants Giants huge children of neim so for them to just decide to go to war with am was a very very big deal was a very big deal and obviously am is defeated them to give played with free choice over there to a certain extent and the point is is that there are certain times that got involved more than he typically does to do certain things same thing happened with uh with yov yobu after uh you're going to read it next week uh after uh um YF after YF was lost Yu was still crying for past a year when the Tora says that the morning is be doesn't go beyond the year why because the heart forgets forgets the pain that's a part of the gift that hasm gave us is is forgetting forgetting the pain because if we remembered every single pain we ever had as if it was today we wouldn't be able to live so but yet yov continued having the pain as if it was as if YF was murdered in front of him that day A year later two years later 3 years later so say what do a minute hold on a second why didn't yob just use his prophecy just use his prophecy to see whether whether uh his son YF is still alive or not why you use a prophecy I mean you have one of the descendants of the Babas and the family kesim family he was able just in our days in our days I'm talking about three 4,000 years ago in our days and our days he was able to use his kadus to tell the police where a child was that was kidnapped it was a child that was kidnapped maybe 30 years ago 30 25 years ago something like that uh was kidnapped they didn't know where he was they looked everywhere they couldn't find him they went to the family went to said please help us the kids's gone focused all his cover note focused focused focused he gave him the exact address of where the kid is in France in a different country and they went they found that this was all over the papers I wish I had the paper to show you was able to do it in our days so what is that why am I telling you this if was able to do it in our days in our days what couldn't do it could just figure out where is was hiding it from him was hiding it from him because that was part of jakob's tun and part of y's tun part of jakob's tun for not uh returning back to his parents to honor them faster than he did and part of your's T because of the things that he said and part of the whole world tun because uh YF had to become the visoy of Egypt in order to prot protect all of for to come point being there's a lot of moving Parts had to get involved now guess what on a side note the whole 20 years that YF was missing and yob was crying y's father that couldn't see in front of him knew that is alive knew that YF is alive and knew that his son is suffering because he doesn't know alive Dead Alive dead he knew and he didn't tell why said quiet don't get involved don't get involved certain times so he knows that Y is in a different knows that Y is in a different country he's the king over there he knows but his son he didn't know he to the same extent that he was why hit it from him he hit it from him for different reasons and we can go into this for until the end of the world until the end of the world to learn about this You Go endless endless endless talk about this endless talk about this but this is again it's a uh there's certain things that are you have a lot of parts of the T and each one is another layer of the onion and it's a beautiful thing beautiful thing that's we read the same every single year why every year you learn something new next question uh someone is asking okay someone is asking this what happens to an animal's Soul when it dies an animal does not have a soul like a human being it just has the neish the neish is something that every creature in the world whether it be a human an animal a plant even a rock everything has to have some type of neish in order to give it life in order for it to exist in the world a a human being also has other Parts as the and so on but an animal just has the neish just has the animal spirit if you will and that animal spirit just dies that's it it's uh it doesn't have a g doesn't have a g unless in that animal is a Reincarnation of a human being uh that sinned and is being punished to return into the world as an animal uh a couple of uh you know there's a sh by the or if you want to look at the uh uh the talks about gulim and zos talks about gulim and many many other places talk about reincarnation we even talk about reincarnation in our prayer reincarnation is very much a uh a real part of Judaism it's not uh it's not considered mystical Judaism it's considered standard practice standard Judaism any that says he doesn't believe in reincarnation is missing on part of the Tora is in essence going against the dot of the uh of our and reincarnation is a uh not only a form of Hashem giving us another chance uh to fix things but also it's a form of punishment or and a mix of both if you will and if a per if a Jew makes certain sins he has to reincarnate uh as an animal two examples are that I can give you is if a Jew is intimate with a non-jew if a Jew is intimate with a non-jew they have to come back as an animal it's a specifically says she's glued to him like a dog meaning the uh the the says a person that was intimate with a Jewish person was intimate with a non-jewish woman has to be reincarnate arated as a dog uh and many many other punishments unless they do CH if they do cha they could eliminate this and uh now that that human being that reincarnated as a dog is suffering the whole time he's a dog suffering the all time he's a dog and there's many stories uh of uh of of amazing things that happened there's actually a famous Story by R again he saw in his own eyes he one time shom what up if he was here today if he was here today I mean it's kiss his feet kiss his feet I just spoke to his son not too long ago and um it's just unbelievable unbelievable uh that there was such K in the world just 10 years ago 10 years ago anyway again Shalom he was around a lot of Supernatural things on a regular basis all the craziest stories you could possibly imagine came to him on a regular basis he was M like like of the generation if you will he was around this stuff all the time anyway this is a story that he saw firsthand and he says it in many of his lectures not just one and it's also written in his book and so on one time he came uh to the United States and he went to Los Angeles and uh the the person that I was uh uh driving him around said let's go pray M they went pray M and A Kila over there in Los Angeles and uh once they got there the uh the guy that was taking him around like Raab why don't you why don't we go to this guy's house after and uh you know mourn with him because he's a uh s just died sure let's go up so they went to the guy's house he says the house of this guy was like a castle was something out of this out of the movies huge giant house has you know stories in it and and all types of things but death once you have death everything else goes into garbage so they go inside and uh the the B is comes to the and uh says to the I have tell you something and he sees that the wife is sitting over there smoking like a chimney and she's saying yeah yeah like she's nodding at her she can't talk everybody's crying but something something happened there something happened there he says what happened he says love everybody that's here there was a bunch of people in the room he says everybody that's here saw this with their own eyes saw this with their own eyes this happened last night so what happened he says last night we prayed over here me in the house mourning for my son and uh all of a sudden all of a sudden a huge Rottweiler huge rot we don't we don't have any dogs a giant rotweiler black started smashing on the door so somebody brought a dog no no dog who's this right before the we didn't know what to do knocking on the door knock knocking on the door barking nothing nobody nobody scared to death who's going to open the door for this after He barked for a little while knocked on the door so nobody's uh nobody's uh doing anything he stopped and he left okay fine the next thing you know we're about to start praying the Rottweiler was in the house he went inside the house he went there's a secret entrance to the house that only family members knew only family members knew this found this entrance and got into the house and he went there and he sat right next to me he didn't say nothing he sat right next to me he sat right next to me I said I looked at the rotweiler and something came to I saw his face and said no way can it be is it him and I just thought to myself he said nobody knows my thoughts nobody nobody heard me say this I just said in my head to balabit says the father says I said if this is my son hasem please give me a clear sign tell him to go to his room as soon as I finished this thought the Rottweiler that was sitting next to me got up and went up the stairs I followed him everybody's in shock the whole time there giant Rottweiler in the house nobody knows whose dog it is I'm telling I'm thinking to myself this is my son I followed the dog the dog goes up he goes into my son's room jumps on the bed and lays down that moment I started crying I said I knew this is my son I knew this is my son later on after that he got I I brought him some food I gave him some drink I covered him we went to sleep that night in the morning he was gone so the guy says I love you again tell tell me the truth is it possible that that dog is my son didn't skip a beat he wasn't politically correct he knew the guy needs to hear the truth and he tells the Father tell me the truth did your son have a non-jewish girlfriend and the father says yes he says then that is your son your son had to be reincarnated as a dog because he was with a non-jewish girl that's it it's what it is that's what it is this is one of the sins somebody has to be reincarnated as a dog another reason somebody uh after the story you think of something like this sh how many people are intermarried how many Jewish people are intermarried in America it's over 80% somebody told me in Denver it's 95% it's pretty much uh tragedy tragedy so this means that not only are people uh being intimate with non-jewish people girls you know Jewish girls is with non-jewish men or and vice versa the guys the Jewish guys are with non-jewish women not only that but they're actually getting married to them meaning be making it a permanent thing why they don't know the truth they don't know what's going to happen to them as result of all this not just in the next world but even in this world everyone knows that those relationships that are from into marriage end up being a disaster sometimes it's starts off with as a disaster many times it's later on becomes a disaster but surely even if they're not religious it's always a disaster intermarriage is always a disaster there is no such thing as a happy intermarriage it's it's against the T of the world it's against the nature of the world for it to be a happy marriage it could pretend to be happy because of lust and things of that nature but later on it becomes a disaster a lot of tragedies come to them a lot of den come to both of them because in essence they're both considered Wicked the the non-jew is considered a murderer the Jew is considered a a person that's it's a very big problem anyway so someone that's intermarried with a non-jewish person has to reincarnate as a dog uh and uh that's a tragedy unless they do chew up to do cha for it is not an easy thing why because you have to first and foremost stop which is in itself probably the most difficult thing second of all you have to learn about the topic to make sure you never go back never ever do it again not for fun not not for fun no reason ever again number three you have to apologize to about this apologize with tears tears next thing is you have to help other people you have to help other people do chuva for their into marriage for their for their promiscuous relations with with non-jewish people uh again non-jewish or non-jewish perfect Jewish and Jewish perfect as long as they're married but a non-jew and a Jew tragedy for both of them tragedy for both of them this is not a uh a racism of Jewish people this is's rules the's rules he said we're not allowed to do it and that's it's his world to run uh you know so it's important for people to know um uh as far as the um as far as the last part of the uh person that did was intimate with a non-jew they have to uh do tiim they have to do tiim which is a every single time that they were intimate with the uh with the uh someone that's not Jewish they have to fast 82 times now of course uh nobody today can really fast that many times so theim one of them actually being the balat the ARA and many say that since people are weak now and they can't fast they can replace the fast with money so how much money for every fast replace it with a meal a value of a meal how much let's say it cost you for the day to uh to eat let's say it cost you $5 to eat a day not your regular meal whatever you could survive on $5 worth of food $10 worth of food a day so it's $10 time 82 fasts and that's $820 you give it for the sake of toah you give it for the sake of teaching this specific subject so somebody wants to make a a marketing for this specific segment of what we just talked about they want to Market it they take $820 and we Market this particular video and that's a tun for one time for one time that they did a sin now if they're with somebody many many times they did this many many times they have to do this ton many times and now you going say wait a minute by the time the guy finishes you have to be a millionaire to do it yeah you have to be a millionaire so does expect does HM expect you to be a millionaire if he gave you the money then you should do it if you don't have the money then he expects you to do it with whatever you do have meaning if you have only $800 then you do $800 but if you have uh $800 a month you do $800 a month if you have $800 a year you do $800 a year whatever you do and you in essence most people have to do it in uh in increments throughout the year uh and for a long period of time uh some people that are that have the money and also have the brain and have the they write a big check and they finish that's the way you don't want you don't want to do it don't do it it's your life but that's a uh that's that's the key uh the other thing that I know that there's a g that a person come back as an animals for stealing if he stole money that belongs to somebody else that's on his business and things of that nature many times uh the person has to reincarnate as a animal that works for the person that he stole from there's a very famous Story by that I mentioned in the past by uh the bmov the bmov had a horse that he knew was a Reincarnation of the uh of its owner's uh friend and uh he he helped him do a tun so why did he why did he have to come back as a horse cuz he borrowed money and didn't pay back that's considered stealing so uh it's important that uh person does not have any stolen money on their hands you have stolen money money on your hands you have to return it to where you stole it from if you can't return it to where you stole it from for whatever reason whether it's because the person or the entity is is gone it's no more in the world or it will put you in trouble meaning like if you return the money to the organization they may press charges and put you in jail so what do you do you take that money that you stole and you give it to Kyu you give it to a public cause that this entity or this person can benefit from somehow uh you could also give it to like a homeless shelter whatever is a public cause but there's obviously nothing better and more public than Kyu stolen money is not money that you want in your hands why because it's cursed money it's cursed money so you have stolen money get rid of it as soon as possible I have a person that I know already for several months he's doing his best to give a few dollars every month few dollars every month just to get out of it I have some people they have millions of dollars stolen they don't want enough No No No's going to forgive me okay's going to forgive me luck with that so person like that doesn't do doesn't do CH has to reincarnate as a dog has to reincarnate as a different animal horse or something else so yeah yeah so without having that without having that extra of a human being an animal just simply disappears why because it was created to serve man but if it has a human in it then in essence it's a form of uh punishment for that person and after that animal fixes itself that that animal completes the ton then it uh would most likely have to come back to the world again as a human being or perhaps go to the next part of its T somewhere else whether it be heaven or GF wherever it is different different places depending on the person next uh replying to Leia George Freda Isaac is replying to Leah told when you bring me okay you're replying thank you very much I should saved myself a half hour I have Isaac over here I have a you know a plane uh ni Batista how are you Shalom I have a question in regards to women's prayer can I say the morning prayer before the Sun is up since there is no time frame for women uh thank you in advance H it's a very good question so yes there is no time frame for a woman to pray but it still has to be an appropriate time meaning you cannot pray the at the time of you can't pray M on a regular Tuesday you know so it's a it's a it's there's no specific time that you have to pray but you have but whenever you pray it has to be the right prayer it has to be the right prayer of that time so the uh and the of the morning has to be at at Nets Nets is the earliest time that you can do it uh Nets you can to find out when Nets is uh in the morning where you are is you can download an app called calj CJ and it tells you every morning based on your ZIP code what time is Nets and that's when you can start praying you can pray your and your morning prayer if you want to pray in the morning most women that I know split it up split up where in the morning many times they're very busy with the kids with running around and they don't usually get not busy at any point because the kids you know are in out school not school life and so on and uh if you're going to wait until everybody's asleep every day sometimes you're so tired you can't you don't even have the energy to pray so most women that I know break it up where in the morning they do the the morning prayers takes 2 three minutes which is believe me it's very hard for women to even get those two three minutes with all the kids screaming everywhere sometimes in the morning but anyway you got to do you feel you know let D washing your hands bathroom and then that you have to do as soon as you possibly can in the morning as soon as you wake up that you could do at any time then uh many of them do the is in the morning that section of sh is uh which again also only takes a couple of minutes 2 3 four 5 minutes uh maybe a little longer but you know it depends on the person but the the they do later on many times they do later on cuz to do all of it together sometimes will take you know half hour that they don't have 25 minutes that they don't have so uh what what they end up doing is they do the the section and then they'll do as let's say a part of their prayer in a uh you know in Shak or or or or at some other point they'll do it the main things for woman is to say the and at any time during the day any time during the day if you're going to do the whole prayer though you're going to do the whole the whole the whole it has to be in the appropriate time it has to be in the appropriate time but the main thing is if you're the you you literally have no room to breathe the minimum minimum every day is the section and the that's and you could even break those up I mean it's ideally actually this is a very good example it would be all of them and the complete prayer uh that's but it's a uh because of the situation this is one of those places where the person can uh break it up because of the circumstances because of the circumstances of kids and so on next question says okay how can one truly pray with kav without getting distracted getting distracted while I'm while I'm reading um let see hold on second it's kind to talk so much how can one truly pray with kavana without getting distracted I know the ran and ran says to remove the worldly things from his heart but how does one do that I know of many which talk about the meaning of itself but are there any which discuss and explain how a person is supposed to actually pray once he knows what he's saying yes our Series has a whole lecture about this question about this question that very same section that you're talking about the that the Lan talks about prayer and so on I have a whole lecture about two hours two and a half hours talking about watch the lecture I'll give you much bigger and better answer than I can give you right now next question Jimmy should we celebrate our birthdays if so how do we not bring all the glory to ourselves um I'm sorry I had to drink something uh should you celebrate your birthday I don't know I mean if if you mean celebrate your birthday like people make a big deal out of it and they have a whole party and and things like that it's not really a minhag that am does it's really more of minhag of the custom of the non-jews uh the only people that are mentioned in the Tora that celebrated their birthday are and uh and also and I'm sorry they celebrate their birthday these weren weren't exactly good people uh you never heard about uh you know mosenu celebrating his birthday or is celebrating his birthday uh is it a sin to celebrate your birthday no but it's just not a customary and the reason why is because the looked at the birthday as a as an opportunity to uh to do chuva to get closer to hasem to give other people blessings because this is the day that hem givs them what they uh what they want in essence like their birthday like he says in to you know this is like your birthday ask what you want and I'll give it to you uh so it's it's it's a good day for a person to bless people uh and but that means that they have to be uh focused and understanding that this is a time that they have to be connected to hasem if your person is busy drinking tequila and and arak and all types of other Liquors and uh you know forgetting the the significance of the day uh he's not going to get uh done what he's supposed to get done um hold on a second I have this alarm somewhere in my office I don't know where it is but he makes noise every day at exactly the same time one day they find it so anyway uh so the day of a birthday a person should uh bless people that he cares about uh should pray to a she connected but also know that were scared to celebrate too much on their birthday because it's in essence one day closer to death and no one was so confident about their merits like as if you know no one was conf confident that if they died that day uh they would go to heaven so they uh they were scared of their birthday if you will uh cuz this is a reminder that perhaps they haven't achieved anywhere near as much as they need to uh anywhere near as much as they need to so uh this is why uh celebrating a birthday like the uh like people do today is not really accustom of uh religious Jewish people um and last but not least I I say about a birthday is that you have to make sure that you celebrate your Hebrew calendar birthday not your uh secular calendar gorian calendar birthday because the gorian calendar as we learned from the uh the Gregorian calendar is a flawed calendar where your birthday uh let let's say for example call it July 1st uh you know 30 years ago is not really the same day you know uh July 1st it's really not the same day why because the Gregorian calendar has a calendar system that uh has all types of calculations that are in essence incorrect uh whereas the um uh the the Jewish calendar if you were born ones the first of KV let's say or the you know first of Nissan or whatever day in the Jewish calendar 30 years ago that 30 years forward it's going to be same day it's going to be the first of K or whatever day Nissan and so on so you celebrate your Jewish birthday as a side note converts converts people that convert to Judaism your birthday is the day of conversion the day of conversion is your birthday your secular birthday is no longer valid at all it's no longer connected to you at all it has no significance whatsoever the day you convert they you dip into the mik that's officially your birthday and that's the only birthday that uh you should take into account the other birthday that you have in the past you shouldn't celebrate shouldn't connect to it and uh within a few years uh even forget it's even it I know that uh uh one time uh uh my my wife and I God bless her uh we um talking and then just out of the conversation my I remember like oh man wow your uh your uh the birthday secular birthday was two days ago she looks at me goes are you sure I'm like yeah no was there both of us forgot both of us forgot two days later we remembered two days later I remember that she forgot all all together she had to we have to double check was two days later you disconnect from it disconnect this is like uh previous Carnation only birthday you celebrate is the birthday of your conversion noahides celebrate their uh you know celebrate their uh uh Goran calendar or the Hebrew calendar you could you could Hebrew calendar would be the gorian calendar find out exactly the day exactly the day that you were born um you know 30 years ago there is a goat online to a Hebrew calendar converter which converts the secular days to uh to uh um uh Jewish uh calendar birthdays and that way you'll know when you were born 30 years ago whenever it was call it let's say the second of or the first ofan or whatever it is so now from that moment you can it's not an obligation but you can if you want uh you know have a more precise birthday calculated based on a Hebrew calendar can you can you don't have to it's just a thought that I have uh uh and I think everything I said answers your second question about bringing glory to yourself because once you understand your birthday you realize there's no glory in it it's simply a reminder that you have less time in the world to complete your mission uh before going to the Eternal world next question uh Elan uh we learned that yobu came back from Levan's house unarmed by uh unharmed unharmed by any of the tum there mainly because the T he learned from Thea of how can we make the Torah we are learning protect us from all the Tuma around uh well you continue listening to the shim that we're doing you continue applying as much of them as possible as you can you continue learning with your brother and eating up the after you continue uh uh building that beautiful household with your very dear wife with full of kadus and you actually you know what follow this we looked at this recent earlier follow this follow this Al is for you and your wife and for everybody's wife r um which is the laws of between uh laws of women if you will uh it says the following chapter 16 verse 19 number 19 says our sages commanded that a man honor his wife more than his own person meaning you have to give more Cav to your wife than even you give Cav for yourself you may be willing to walk around with a simple shirt but you should never let your wife walk around with something simple you may be willing to walk around without necessarily taking care of yourself but you have to make sure your wife takes care of herself you may be willing to uh you know have somebody insult you but you should never allow anyone else to insult your wife so you have to give more C to your wife and love her as he loves his own person you have to love your wife as much as you love yourself uh if he has Financial Resources he should offer her benefits in accordance with his resources never ever a guy is never allowed to be cheap with his wife never allowed to be cheap with his wife he has to buy dresses and shoes and bags and whatever she wants buy her as long as you could afford it if you could afford it buy her no never be cheap with your wife never say listen honey you know you already have a dress don't buy another one no if you have the money buy it why you're only going to go and learn toah because of the Kusa that she has as well to to make sure the house is is taken care of the kids are taken care of and so on to make sure that she's happy if she's happy because she got another dress or she got another shoe or she got another bag buy it you have the money buy it the has wants you to have more money in retirement I'll give you money for retirement you have to worry about retirement 30 years before retirement you have to worry about your wife being happy today so guy is never allowed to be cheap with his wife guys that are cheap with their wife are ruining their own blessing they're ruining their own blessing uh so here much a violation of the Tor ra says that he has to offer these benefits and Accords with his resources meaning if he's Rich he has to make sure that his wife looks Rich she can't look like some cleaning lady uh you know in the middle of our job if he has a million 2 million 5 million in the bank his wife has to look the part she has to look fancy why because he is Rich she has to look rich his kids too by the way but that's says that he rebuked one of the people uh that he he saw his son dressing like a regular person when he knew he was rich he says that that you're making a sin dressing your son like a regular person when he's rich not let look like a poor person if you're rich so the point is is that a guy that has resources has to make sure that his wife looks good you know whether that's jewelry or dresses of course all with modesty and so on but he has to be generous with his wife uh again as long as she's not like you know one of these crazy people that's going to spend $50,000 on a handbag that you're going to use once person like that unless you have I don't know tens of tens of millions of dollars uh there's no uh no reason to ever do such a thing but if a person is a uh has resources he has to be generous with his wife and then continues he should not cast an excessive measure of fear over her don't be one of these people that scares your wife to death you know ah you forgot the salt oh you don't do that don't make your wife scared of you don't make your wife scared of you she should be scared of you because you have not because uh you're scary monster in the house and he should talk with her gently and being neither sad nor angry that's what the ra the r for the husband we talk to her talk her gently and uh now why is this why is he mention talk to her gently why we need the ra to remind us to be gentle and and uh when we talk to our wives and not sad and angry yes yeah we need he's telling this a law it's not a suggestion it's a law you have to why because sometimes it's very easy to lose your mind on your wife because sometimes they're a little little bit frustrating and annoying and this and pushy and this and that so you want to yell you want to scream you want to do a lot of things R says you do that you're sinning you're sinning you have to train yourself to calm down why his wife is like himself like his body he has to give her more C than himself what about the wife what is the wife obligated to do next number 20 chapter 16 of the uh is by the ra number 20 and similarly the S has commanded a woman to honor her husband exceedingly and to be in awe of him meaning she has to give him more Cav than anybody else in the world including her father she has to give more Cav to her husband than anybody else in the world above and beyond deserve it not deserve it doesn't make it difference he's a husband that's it he's the king of the house no one's allowed to insult him no one's allowed to go she is like a lioness lioness lioness it's a very very important for the wife to have a lot of cod for the husband if she doesn't have a Cod for the husband the kids are not going to have Cod for him and if the kids don't have kod for him they're going to destroy the house they're going to destroy the house why because the kids are typically not scared of the mother they're scared of the father but if the if the mom doesn't respect the father then the kids are not scared of anybody they do whatever they want they wreck the house it's not a good thing and it says she should be in awe of him meaning not only not only have a lot of respect for him but have awe much Ser like a like you have all of why I don't want to I don't want to hurt our relationship I don't want to you know dishonor him I don't she has to be in awe of him now of course again a person needs to do everything within reason not be crazy uh you know to to a point where it's a uh it's like hurting her uh her life she shouldn't like Fast the whole day just to make sure that her husband is happy with the food first or something crazy like that people need to be reasonable and normal if he gives her the right amount of cavod she's going to know how to honor him if she doesn't he doesn't give her the cavod she's not going to know how to honor him you know many times you have people turning their wives into uh into servants or many times the wives turn their husbands into slaves it's not good R says she has to have a lot of for him a lot of honor of him and being in awe of him she should carry out all of her Deeds according to his directives considering him like an officer or a king this the woman has to do what a husband says kazal says there's no woman that's kosher that doesn't listen to her husband if she wants to be like one of these feminists one of these bossy women wants to tell everybody what to do including our husband she's definitely not a kosher woman definitely not a kosher woman it's not possible a lot of these women that uh that pretend to be T they pretend to uh to be uh sages on the internet and other places they even yell at their husbands tell him oh no my husband doesn't know anything I know more than him for sure not Kosher women for sure not Kosher wom why R says say why she has to treat her husband like a king a king what about if he doesn't know Tor doesn't matter how do we know was not was was a prophet what she do did she disrespect her husband she gave a lot of for her husband she told him listen you could do the you could do the and put the light in man and that's why they called himot they called a he became a prophet as a result of this he wasn't a prophet because he knew a lot of T he was a prophet because he love the MIT but that's only because his wife gave him a good advice cuz she gave him a lot of respect a wife doesn't respect a husband tells a husband what to do who what when and how it's not a kosher woman and it's only a matter of time before she cheats on him CU that's what's happening today just today we got two phone calls two phone calls from people women women pretend to be religious got five six seven kids but they're cheating on their husbands actually I'm sorry one was cheating on a husband one was cheating on his wife two different things both today why not Kosher people not Kosher people not not Kosher they eat kosher they go to synagogue but the relation chip has no no compliance in it with the no compliance in with so the ra continues she should follow the desires of his heart and shun everything that he distincts he doesn't like it she doesn't like it he likes it she tries to get herself to like it why that's going to make him happy of course again everything within reason and common sense if your husband is a sick person is's mentally sick and he likes weird things you're not obligated to like these weird things but if it's if your husband is a normal person how you got and so on don't ask him to go to your uh your your girlfriend's uh daughter's bar if he says no I don't want to go to these things no but they're going to be offended let them be offended you have to make sure you have a good schite don't take your husband to places he doesn't want to go to you know again sometimes you need to go to especially when it comes to immediate family and things of that nature there's certain things you need to go to certain things you should go to this is sometimes you want to even ask your Rabbi but most important thing is don't make your husbands do things they don't want to do and vice versa don't make your wives do things they don't want to do don't make your wives go go to your parents house every weekend just because you want to uh make sure that your parents are happy with her don't torture your wife like that don't live with your parents your parents after you get married it's a bad idea it's a bad idea for everybody lastly it says this is the custom of holy and pure Jewish women and men in their marriages and these ways will make their marriage Pleasant and praiseworthy this is what the is she has to make him into a king he has to make her into a queen if you make your wife into a queen she can now make you into a king if if you make your husband into a king he'll make you into a queen but if you make your husband into some slave that just there to make money for you guess what he won't treat you like a queen he won't and vice versa so you do that you keep learning you keep learning the you keep building the K house that you have the Tora that you have will protect you from everything that's around you uh next question uh great question or sadok is wasting seed K yes wasting seed is correct the U Tor says that in many places say that wasting seed is cor and uh worse yet the uh the um was a big almost 500 years ago at the time of the was a by every major before and after him uh and during his timeas wres that someone that weighs SE uh not only has no share of the world to come but also goes to the seventh level of Gom it doesn't come out doesn't come out so this is a very serious problem the says that someone that weighs seed is like someone that brought on the flood and has no share of the well to come so then on and on and on we have a whole series of lectures about wasting seed a person must do chva for and chuva for is very similar to what I said about in regards to T or t where you have to stop obviously you have to learn about the topic in order to give yourself offense to you know beat this uh this addiction you have to say I'm sorry to you have to help other people do CH for it and you have to do you have to do the this is important to do as soon as you have enough ability to do it a lot of guys and girls that have made this sin of promiscuity with themselves and with other people are uh stingy when it comes to doing T no no I'll just send $20 okay if all you have is $20 for saying $20 but if you got 20,000 50,000 100,000 or more in your bank account and all you're sending is $20 you're you're you're you're selling yourself short you're going to regret it because the money that you have you can take with you you can't take with you whereas the money that uh the tun you are taking with you so it's a mistake but again it's a everybody has to pass their own test next was Joseph's dream fulfilled the 11 Stars bowed down and the sun uh but I didn't see that in theah that the moon bowed down to Joseph I mean technically the dream was fulfilled uh that all of his a uh all of his brothers did end up bowing down to him and even as uh his father uh yov his father yov uh was a uh in essence under his uh uh you know uh leadership in in Egypt uh but uh as far as the um the Moon is not ba uh the Moon is his mom is ra ra is his mom Rael is the mom of YF um as far as ra Bing to him no obviously she already died at that time she died at that time uh before before before he became the v um yov my family celebrates Thanksgiving some people my family celebrates Thanksgiving by eating a meal but that's all may I go just so my parents do not get upset so my grandparents are happy to see me but I will sit on the Side Learning Kash yob no no uh you know you you you are you know you have to understand that being part of a meal of Thanksgiving is in essence giving it credibility um you know and it's a and uh to be part of that meal and not say anything as if nothing's going on in essence everyone is not going to know that this is problematic now this is if you are an adult if you're an adult if you're an adult you live in your own house you're married and so on you should not go to your parents' house and uh and celebrate Thanksgiving with them now if you're a child uh still living with your parents you're you know young teenager 12 13 years old 14 years old living in your parents house uh then the the ideal situation where you should do because your parents are going to celebrate and I'm not going to listen to you no matter what you say you're just a little teenager uh so you you can't tell them to stop and expect them to listen to you because you're just a young kid uh so what you should do is uh you know try to escape it you know go to the BET midash go to the local and just pretty much stay there all day uh stay there all day and uh this way you could uh escape the whole dinner of uh of that's meaning if you can't Escape your house uh you can't escape your house then uh you uh simply could uh uh do what you're saying is sit on the side learn Kash I mean they're probably going to bust your chops a little bit and tell you why you doing that and uh you know you should tell them it's because this is not a Jewish holiday this is a uh you know this is a desecration of of our toah really you should tell them because if you don't tell them they'll never know if you don't tell them they'll never know so you should you should tell them that this is not a Jewish holiday uh at least they'll know at least they heard it once maybe you could even watch the sh that I made about it together with them at least make that dinner into something useful next uh thank you so much yes thank you Nicole for the question Yakov Also may I eat turkey if they ask me to just so they don't get upset again like I said to eat the turkey says is so I would recommend not to eat the turkey under any condition if one of the says that it could be even considered then it doesn't matter how much your parents are going to get upset no don't eat the turkey don't take a part of that meal go eat a uh you know a kosher donut or something you know don't don't be part of it don't be part of it even if you're a young kid don't be part of it don't uh make it as if it's not a deal I'm not saying to go start screaming and yelling but just say listen I don't want it I don't want it you know you guys can do whatever you want I'm not telling anybody what to do tell them but you know according to what I learned what Moshe Feinstein said what uh Rabbi Ruben quoted in his name what said uh you know we're not allowed to celebrate it then uh you know I don't want it if you don't want to deal with the headache you could I I guess you could pretend like you're sick or something and don't want the food uh but you should definitely not be part of the meal should definitely not be part of the meal that uh that could even be you know because in essence if your parents are still celebrating Thanksgiving that means that you're probably the only religious one in your house uh and they look at you as the one that's like the rabbi of the house even if you're a young teenager and uh which means that if you're eating with them that's in essence koshering their activity it becomes so it's even more responsibility on you not to do it not to do it at all I'm not saying to start yelling at them and argue with them but to be take part of it is absolutely not a good idea so uh Rabbi I've have been very poor homeless and unable to provide properly for my son I now have a job that pays very well and my son young son has everything he needs to live happy and healthy but I often cannot get home until about an hour after Shabbat begins if I take if I take a taxi on Shabbat night can I temporarily keep my job or should I quit now and risk falling behind again on my important respon financial responsibilities Saul if you are Jewish then this is not a question if you are Jewish currently there's there's no question whatsoever you are not allowed to violate Shabbat for any job in the world unless you're job is Saving Lives literally you're a doctor a surgeon of some kind uh you are a uh you know something that has to do with saving lives on a regular basis if it's not if you just let's say I don't know some type of engineer or I don't know sanitation department or whatever uh regular job you have there is no permission whatsoever for you to violate the to and violate Shabbat no permission so uh you have to tell your job I'm sorry I'm not going to be able to uh work on Fridays uh past afternoon let's say 12:00 1:00 in the afternoon because I got to get home for Shabbat and pray to hasm that they let you do it and even if they don't you do it anyway I have a guy that years ago maybe six years ago he was working at AT&T and uh before he met me he was an atheist after three lectures he was already keeping meot but he had a problem with Shabbat why because the company he was working for at the time andt uh had a schedule with a where a uh you know he would work on Shabbat that was a schedule they gave him he would work every Shabbat and so he would keep Shabbat on Friday night but then he would go to work on on Saturday because he said if you don't come in he asked him can you let me go on Shabbat and he said no you have to work that's your schedule uh you know you you have to get uh to work you know so after uh after that he told me what do I do I told him you don't show up you can't work on Shabbat you can't he said yeah but they're going to fire me I said let them fire you if they fire he goes I'm going to eat I said AEM is the one that's going to decide whether you eat it took him a little while to get the the the the guts to do it uh but one day he decided that he's not going to go he asked the boss can I take off Shabbat the boss rejected him again so he just simply didn't show up on Shabbat he turned on his phone had a bunch of messages where are you where are you where are you the next he figured that when he goes back to work that next day Sunday he's going to get fired he walked into the office into the thing and he sat at his desk for a little bit before going on the field and the boss came to him and said where were you yesterday said I told you I told you I can't work on Shabbat he says listen don't ever do that again I'm going to fire you and he had again the courage to say listen it's not about you it's I'm not trying to go against you I'm just saying I can't work on Shabbat it's my religion and the guy was nasty to him saying saying listen you do that again I'm going to fire you so the conversation ended that way the next week again he didn't show up again he didn't show up the uh boss called him a few more times not as much as the week before the next day he said you did it again listen I'm I'm G I'm giving you one last chance you're a good guy I like you you do good work but I'm going to fire you if you keep doing it the next week he did it again boss was on vacation didn't say nothing he was on vacation next week he did it again he was on vacation again the next week when the boss was back he came back he did it again no calls this time what happened boss didn't say nothing anymore after 3 months he was already keeping Shabbat already for a few months and the bus didn't tell him anything anymore and uh after about 3 months I believe I think it was 3 months or five months hasem gave him some success in a few different things a few customers want to do business with him he ended up opening his own company you know ended up making a lot more money for honoring the sh gave a lot of so that's the thing if you're a Jew there's no permission whatsoever for you to violate Shabbat not by a minute not by an hour not by nothing no permission if you're not Jewish and you want to convert then obviously you have to make uh arrangements for you know uh for you to uh change somewhere down the road but you don't have to quit your job now you don't have to quit your job now because you're technically you're not obligated to keep Shabbat uh because you're not Jewish so uh but if you're a Jew you have to uh you have to uh keep Shabbat 100% okay we're almost done um getting a little tired uh let's see um uh how do you do cha for the sectomy one God years ago before he became religious okay so this is going to be a hard answer uh this is a hard question it's a hard answer somebody asked this question uh recently and we looked at countless sources countless sources the question is how do you do cha if you're a Jew again if you're a Jew how do you do chuva for vasectomy why because vasectomy is not allowed according to Judaism not allowed according to Judaism um it's really not allowed for the gim either but if they did it already they don't have to fix it what about a Jew if a Jewish man did V me we looked at all the sources looking for leniency answer is he has to undo it or divorce his wife he cannot be with his wife as long as he has vasectomy if a man had a vasectomy he has to undo it no matter how much it costs the sooner the better cost 10 15 $20,000 to go undo it he has to undo it now even if the doctors tell him listen you're going to do a uh you're going to do a surgery to fix the vasectomy but uh you know but the reality is that there's a very big chance that your wife won't be able to get pregnant anyway at least 50% change won't be able to get pregnant anyway cuz you know it's been already for a while so it may not work he still has to do it he still has to fix it and do whatever efforts he can to undo it uh there is no permission for him to live with a woman with a Jewish woman if he has aomy it's a sin every single time they're together every single time together because a Jewish man is not allowed to have it so it's a very big sin it's a sin it's a Biblical sin so I know this is a hard answer for some people that have done this because they didn't know they weren't religious but this is part of your you have to fix it you have to fix it and uh you know and have the surgery to fix it uh this is this is the answer maybe next week I'll talk about a little bit more in detail give you some more sources if you want but the long and short of it because we're running out of time it's already two and a half hours long and short of it the chv for vcty for a man is that he has to undo it he has to undo it next question uh the fact that you want to do chuva is chuva just continue to do chuva oh thank you very much uh Joel Bennett that you just concluded that someone wants to do chuva that's chuva it's it's not really true wanting to do chuva and doing CH are two different things how do we know says I hate him why is hate him why is hate him had a holy head was so his head was so holy he was buried in right in the cave of the Patriarchs with abrah andov and the matriarchs why because knew the entire tah and he wanted to do CH but he didn't somebody that wants to do Chua and doesn't do it does not get the reward for doing it it's surely it's a good thing to want to do chuva but we should never imply that just wanting to do chuva is already Chua it's a beginning of Chua chuva is actually doing the act of fixing things you know if a uh if somebody broke something he has to fix it Mara uh you could learn and pray during the day Christmas Christmas year I have no idea what you're talking about I'm sorry Mara I don't know what you're talking about Christmas we're Jews we don't celebrate Christmas um Joseph I heard from heretical rabbis that abstract beliefs regarding the metaphysical example what happens after death the nature of punishment are outside of the jurisdiction of practical Al ruled upon by the Mish of old that there is a distinction between injunctions issued by S involving physical obligations which are binding and what they may have incidentally subscribed to concerning how the spiritual what's the question how can one respond to such stupid claims okay the response is you Joseph made a mistake by listening to heretical rabbis because the specifically says you're not allowed to listen to them at all you're not allowed to listen to them have conversations with them nothing not allowed to entertain them not allowed to have these thoughts in your head from their filth no need to debate them no need to respond to them they're fools they're Heretics and you should run away from them that's how you respond to them S I am ding I am a ding teacher for second grade girls when teaching them the can they say it out loud regularly while learning and to ensure they say all the words clearly Sima 100% yes when you're teaching the young is Holy girls that you have you teach it's so amazing thank you for watching my sh wow such a person is watching wow such an amazing person you teach young girls to pray wow what an amazing thing so these young girls of course of course you want to you want them to uh uh say the right words and pronounce it so of course in the beginning they have to say things out loud yes 100% they're little girls they you want them to say it the right way yes yes yes I know I said it five times but I'm so excited you're watching my Shi and you're a person that teaches you have no idea the the the in the previous generations the the the greatest sages in the world the greatest sages in the world used to teach little kids the would teach little babies little kids so imagine women that teach little kids a big thing as a story the um the the one time says that that uh he had a dream that uh his uh uh his kindergarten kindergarten teacher or a woman that used to change his diapers uh came to him in his dream and told him please pray for me pray for me and he owed her a lot of because she changed his diapers you know she was when he was a little kid so he started praying for her so after after a short period of time she came back in his dream he says and she told him please stop stop praying me stop praying for me he says why it's not good she goes no every time you pray for me you have so much marriage you're bringing me to such high levels in G Eden I don't know what to do over here there's so many righteous people it's too high for me just enough enough you enough says someone that helped you a teacher that helped you when you were a little kid o what a merit they have so imagine one of your little girls going to be uh married to uh to to one of the she's going to be the uh the Ra's wife but was so imagine one of your girls going to become like imagine like that yeah definitely teach them the right words and let them read it out loud until you know what they're saying sure uh who are these people very bad people in this world um not sure what you're saying Mara but okay uh Mike what is being accomplished on before Beyond marking the time and a schedule what is the deeper meaning ofes because of the the the time to have a couple of short daily uh um daily K uh videos or audios about KES uh that you should watch uh in so many words KES is one of the most important that we have in the we got it from because if it wasn't for time we wouldn't know when to celebrate the holidays on the right level and that's actually was one of the things that the Greeks wanted to cancel they wanted us to cancel our celebration ofes which kanuk is coming up one of the reasons we celebrating kanuka is because we're able to continue celebrating rodes uh because if it's not for Roses we wouldn't know when to celebrate the holidays so it's very very important to know uh about thees you light a candle in rodes you uh you pray a uh uh extra prayers in the uh in your the in the morning you also do a uh extra prayers in there it's a little longer a lot of soes is a big day and also big thinges is the birthday celebration every month birthday celebration of the women KES is the holiday of women every month they have a holiday it'ses Andes women are not supposed to work in the house and things like that they should they uh you know when you delate the candle they should take a break for a little while and not do any work if you want to order some kosher food or you want maybe the husband can cook for her or something like that she'd be less work to allow the woman to enjoyes is a very big deal for women a lot oful and things like that um Mara is continuing to curse oh so you're cursing me Mara shut your mouth no you shut your mouth you have nothing to do you're on your Facebook you're a keyboard Warrior imagine being such a loser imagine imagine a person that has nothing to do in their life they decide to go on this thread where someone is trying to teach tah just to curse me out and insult all Jews and so on imagine being such a lowly person like you I honestly I think gandom is actually worse is not worse than that I think your life is worse than gay because imagine you have a bunch of people learning to trying to do the word of hem and and the only thing you have in the world is insults about it imagine being such a lonly person what a what a lonly life that is what a miserable life that is I really feel bad for you to be such a lowly person that all you want is to insult Judaism because think about it this way none of the people that are watching this lecture right now are going to go to your page and to your uh I don't know Reverend page and your pastor's page and tell them oh you guys are retards none of the people watching here are going to do it no Jew in the world or anyone that loves the t is going to go to to the to to the Christians and tell them you guys are retards no Jew is going to do it why we have better things to do we're going to learn toah but only people like you lowly people like you come and try to interrupt with the Jewish people what a miserable status that is for you you really should think about that should really think about that I mean this is the first opportunity that I have to deal with people like you live usually I just see the comments after the fact and I don't have time to waste but it's really important to know that you're here for a reason it's a very very sad state to be in that all you have in the world when we're talking about God God the same God that created you and your filthy mouth the same God that created you and your filthy mouth we're talking about him we're trying to serve him all you have to do is insult us what a slow status that is what a miserable life that is you really should think about that honestly should think about it's a very sad State it's it's it's really you should really think about where where you are in the world maybe rethink your priorities what's important to you is making comments making fun of Jews that important to you that's that's really that's going to make you happy is that that what you think what a sad scenario you're a sad sad person I pray for you maybe hasem will help you get you out of the Gom you've built yourself sad T I want to know if a non-jew wants to convert soon can she pray dma or no if you are in a process of conversion meaning you have somebody that's directing you of what to do you have a uh you're reading the books you're you're seriously taking conversion then you are allowed to pray all of the prayers and learn all of the tah that a normal Jew would uh because you have to do it for the sake of practice you should know all of the prayers and they and are considered in essence practice so if you miss it you don't have to repeat it if you make a mistake you don't have to be so upset of yourself this is all practice the real time the real prayers and everything else come the day of uh after you convert but uh either way you should do it you should learn that to pray you should learn uh to to do all the things that Jews do if you're serious about conversion sure uh what is the location of schl Kev uh to my knowledge uh no it's something you could probably find on the uh on Wikipedia I'm pretty sure it's in is uh but uh I don't know exactly where I'm not I'm not an expert on places of uh of burial sorry uh oh my dear Mother God bless let's see link to some of's books oh thank you very much yes sent sometimes have them sometimes they have them yeah I buy some books from that too good place uh the partner can convert also oh if you're referring to two people that are converting yeah if if if there's two people that are not Jewish uh and um one of them wants to convert the bedine will only allow the uh conversion to happen if both people convert you can't be one person converts and one person doesn't convert if they're married they're together both husband and wife have to convert can't be just a husband or just a wife uh so yes this may delay the process because perhaps they're not on the same page as you but such is life it's a it's a difficult battle it's a difficult test that you have but you have to be patient and uh supportive and eventually I'll get there Robert oh good to hear from you Robert uh how is it that honey is kosher since it comes from an insect which is to and not Kosher very good question there is a that says uh something that's imp something that's impure only produces impure things now already talk about this in the and specifically this of how hone iser and had knowledge of this that they said that the that the honey does not actually come from the uh from the bee and doesn't even go through its digestive tract it's actually a separate uh a separate uh Canal if you will in the uh outside of the bee if you will that's not inside its digestive tract where the bee just adds something to it to make it into honey and later on science uh confirmed this that literally honey does not go through the digestive tract of the uh uh of the bee and therefore it doesn't come from a bee uh and uh that's why it's kosher that's why it's kosher very good question there's a whole chuva on it is online of white hone kosher it's a very uh uh interesting topic um let's see guys have a lot of questions today thank you everything you've done Chang my life please donate okay thank you uh thank you all right Moes good to see you Moes is me being single not married a result of my sins is there a rabbi or a book that can guide me to doing Chua in a circumstance that I in being alone is it me or is it just my maal the sins or no sins only a who knows what sins you have and what sins you don't have what I would uh what I would suggest you do is focus on continuing to do cha every day focus on fixing your character traits focus on look looking for the right woman the right way and not looking for the right woman the wrong way or the wrong woman the the the right way you have to go through a shid system go to a or Shan give them your shid resume look for a nice religious girl to go date a few times and then get married you know you have to look at things you have to do things the way that the Torah and its sages said and not the way that yet said say and I think that if you do that if you do chuva if you uh or continue to do chuva like you're doing and you uh even fix this particular item you'll find you'll find yourself your your cab you know exactly at the right time uh Hashem is not giving you the kalad that you have that you want right now perhaps because he wants you to do other things uh that you haven't done yet and uh that's that's what you need to do uh when learning one may be more comfortable reading the chapter to understand it before going to commentary should one still stop at every line for commentary uh I mean it all depends on the person I mean the way I read for example may not necessarily be the way that you read but the way my brain works is that when I read a verse in the T I read a verse I read a line in the or something like that I need to what it means uh to at least the best of uh my ability which again means I have to go to the sages go to Rashi at the very least and and then see what does he say about this instead of just going to the next verse uh just so I could finish the page and the reason why is because when I my brain works in such a way that when I understand this verse and then I go to the next one the next one also makes a lot more sense whereas if I just go through it and I just end up you know understanding let's say a small percentage of it and then go back to the commentaries it doesn't always give me that same fulfillment and understanding uh as I do if I do it in steps you know because when you build a building you know first you build the foundation then you build the first floor then the second floor then the third floor and so on you know it's you can't build the third floor before you build the first floor and that's what in my opinion for me you know just going through the verses and then going to the comment is thereafter many times it's like jumping around it's like you're building you know the foundation and you're jumping to the third floor building a you know a small little room there then going back to the going back and forth so for my brain the way it works I have to do everything in in in uh uh you know at least the best that I can in a uh um in a way that uh is in order takes a little longer but uh you know we're not in a race we're not in a race to finish we're in a race to understand so a lot of people are reading reading fast fast just to get a lot of information down it's not really you know good idea it's good is to understand what you're doing to the best of your ability now if your brain works differently than mine where you understand most of what you read and uh the commentary is just like a topping on top of what you read then you know your brain works that way no problem but for me it doesn't work that way so again it's a matter of preference really it's really a matter of preference no necessarily an obligation to do it one way or the other the main thing is to uh uh to understand what you're reading and uh and do it on a daily basis uh next uh Jake what did ra MOS say about Thanksgiving you're not allowed to make it kava not allowed to make it a uh uh you know annual like the Goen I talked about it in the beginning of this year you could just rewind uh to the beginning and you'll see uh or you could just watch the sh that I have online um that uh is called um Thanksgiving uncensored or something like that just type in Thanksgiving on my page and you'll find that 30 minutes or so she about it so thank you Rabbi if I cannot make it uh to work to uh if I cannot make it work to get home in time I will trust in hasem to find another job amen amen amen you'll succeed you'll succeed there's no doubt in my mind you'll succeed I'm so glad that we've had all the questions answered tonight what a great you how do we motivate ourselves to wake up Froman with a smile when exhausted in the morning Ah that's say that's the million dooll question Jake each person has different things different things that motivate them for Mo for many people the things that motivate them are things that are material you know where you know we're motivate to go make a million dollars so we show up to the appointment on time we're motivated to go to a certain uh trip so where we wake up early to go uh to uh you know to the plane on time uh material things uh you know but the truth is is that that's what hasem measures us with where he says where he says that a when a uh when he judges a person he judges him based on how he treats his mitv versus his other things so if a person uh you know is always on time to his flights always on time to his to his appointments always on time to everything else that is uh you know of this world but he's never on time for Torah that's a very big a very big a uh you know prosecution against him uh if anything he should be early to everything or late to everything not treat aem's mitv like it's a burden so that's one thing you should really understand that if you're on time to your flight but you're not on time to go pray way if you're on excited to go to a meeting but you're not excited to go meet Hashem every day that's already putting you in a bad situation uh that should be motivation enough the second thing is is to know that all the money that you want to make and all the different material things you want to possess you can't make it yourself Hashem has to give it to you so if anything you should go meet him more excitedly and more early and more enthusiastically than anything else in the world cuz he's the only one that's going to help you succeed and for that it's a a little bit of humility is what a person needs and for that you need to learn M on a regular basis the more M you learn and apply to your life the more humble you become the more humble you'll become the more you'll fall in love with hem as a result of fearing him and the more you fear Him and you'll end up having a much more desire uh an excitement to go pray all the time not just in the morning uh okay last question morce can I marry when the Messiah comes uh uh when Mia arrived already yeah comes uh the rambam writes that uh we're only going to know what will be after the Messiah comes when that actually happens meaning everything that I would tell you yes or no is speculation speculation uh we'll know for sure after he comes what really the the main thing is uh is to uh is to at least you know get to that point prepare for that point okay we'll answer one last question and then I'll ask you guys for a favor if you could do me a favor uh is it acceptable to pray in uh English uh while learning and slowly add Hebrew over time pronunciations Hebrew is difficult and slow absolutely it's acceptable that's that's what Hashem wants hm wants you to talk to them in a language that you understand uh uh you know to to make sure that you know who you're talking to and then little by little learn Hebrew absolutely uh perfect you know many times people pray prayed in different languages uh you know I've seen uh uh with far with French with uh uh Spanish all types of languages so there's many languages that am pray through to pray to hem sure ideally it's Hebrew but if a person doesn't know Hebrew still wants his prayer still wants his prayer so surely you should pray in your in the language that you understand and little by little as you learn more Hebrew you'll you'll pray more you pray more uh okay so I need you guys to um I need you guys to do me a favor we have a campaign that raim God blessing our de started maybe two weeks ago or less uh which is uh we need more merits in now uh we decid decied that we have one of our he goes to for us and prays for people and so on but we're going to do a special thing on kanuka kanuk is when it's scheduled you know because of this Corona virus and so on if hem decides it's going to be that day or a different day but we're aiming for it to be on kanuka because kanuka is an auspicious time an auspicious time for uh for us to uh uh to ask for things from hasem it's a time of Miracles but to prepare ourselves for miracles we have to increase our merits so because of that uh started a campaign which uh is to get 1,000 1,000 people new people to keep Shabbat to keep Shabbat so if you're you know if you're not keeping Shabbat currently as a Jew this is specifically for

list um how do you get somebody to keep Shabbat that's for you to do that's for you to do uh that's for you to do as you you can use my videos that I have about Shabbat the Shabbat movies that we have uh you know a million different ways you get people Shabbat honestly the biggest way to get people to keep Shabbat is to care to care about them keeping Shabbat to care about the keep shabat you succeed said okay there's one last question somebody said can you get your parent out of goo by by conferring merits on them with your mitv there is a uh a lot of Merit that you can bring to your parents or a loved one that has passed depending on your level uh but there's also a opinion that you can't uh point being is is that no one should rely on his kids or on her kids to bring them into heaven everyone should rely on themselves but anyone that's already left the world uh then surely it would help them uh if you would do a lot of good things in their name more more Tora more K more uhak and so on and so forth for sure it will help them that we have documented proof that that's the case but if somebody that's still alive should not rely on their kids to to help them uh go to heaven uh so so we have Moshe takes takes anybody else that wants to keep Shabbat from now on let me know and BM will succeed will succeed uh Yakov is saying you feel like sending videos over and over uh and I don't know what happens on the other side makes it hard to do kiru uh well I talk to a camera and I don't know if you guys are going to listen or not it's not that the success is not our uh not in our hands only the effort is in our hands only the effort is in our hands success is not in our hands we do effort if you do effort success is given to you from hasem hasem will continue giving us success to help get closer to it give you success to continue bringing yourselves and the rest of Cl closer to and we give for all the wonderful things that he gives us bless each and every one of
