Can Someone Be A Frum Apikoris? Preparing For Shavuot

certainly critical critical laws of the holiday which most people uh that are obviously Torah observant at least trying to be Torah observant don't necessarily have a problem with don't have necessarily much of an issue to implement them but there is one particular law that uh either it's Unknown by most people or it's simply uh something people don't think is as important uh and in in fact this is one of the foundational laws of yum that is required uh is actually this and this is the mitvah of giving to people that are involved with learning t or teaching t or both before the holiday it is very critical for a person to understand this is not a custom this is an and it's across the board for all holidays but it's even more auspicious time to donate money for people that are toiling in Torah before the holiday because this is the holiday of Matan this is the holiday of Matan T now of course the average person is going to tell you uh fine no problem I'll give you know $5 and $10 and $20 and if that's literally all you can afford because all you make is I don't know $100 a week or $200 a week and all you could afford is to give $10 no problem this you know everybody obviously has to do do things relevant to them but the truth be told that most people in the west uh are making a whole lot more than that and in fact there are many people that make a fortune uh they may not consider it a fortune because they don't they have the income but not the blessing but uh they certainly make a lot more than simply the uh $10 that they give warrant and sometimes uh even a hundred or a thousand or 10,000 is not enough all depending on the person that is giving so a person needs to know that when it comes to giving Saka Saka is not something that is simply nice to do Saka is actually one of the foundations of Judaism altogether and in facta is one of the main ways that a person testifies their belief to their creator not just testifies that they believe that the Creator created the world but testifies that the Creator gave us the Torah and it's actually Our obligation our obligation to invest into the Torah and make it our top priority to learn and to invest in now of course the people that are out there that are donating this is simply uh you know a singing to the choir they already know all of this but there are many people that don't necessarily donate at least don't do it regularly that uh really think that maybe perhaps this is just a money-making scheme by by by the rabbis it's a you know I'm the one that's working and uh why should I give it to these people or or why should I give you know 10% of what I make I make 10,000 I have to give them a th I make a 100,000 I have to give them 10,000 that's a lot of money and in so many words they don't necessarily understand that this is not a suggestion but rather an obligation as part of Judaism now when it comes to the Torah a person needs to know that there are different parts of the Torah and the says that if a person wants to be a kosher person they have to obviously believe the Tor but there is a verse in the Tor in page 99a is where this is being discussed where the Tor says that this person desecrated the word of Hashem his um his soul will be cut off and then it ends off with his sin is in his hand so the gar asks who is this person that gets this horrible situation where they desecrated the word of God and now they're getting a k who is this person the says someone that is fr not just some is not F someone obviously doesn't follow to doesn't keep Shabbat doesn't keep anything he's obviously considered a ID worshipper we don't don't have to uh give a teaching on such a thing because that's obvious Common Sense even to the idol worshipper himself if he a Jew that desecrate Shabbat is considered 100% no different than someone that prays to a Buddha statue or to rats or to or to cows or to a star there's no difference between the two of them that's what the ram writes in the chapter 30 the last that's in the that's in the Tora many times which is in two weeks you'll see it there as well uh the point is that someone that doesn't keep a Jew doesn't keep Shabbat has no share of the world to come but that's not what we're talking about here we're talking about people that are FR people we're talking about people that are Torah observant they're keeping Shabbat they're keeping family Purity they're keeping kosher they're in so many words doing their best okay now a person could be doing their best but yet be considered someone that is an aicos a heretic that has no share of the world to come how the says he desecrated the name of God how did he desecrate the name of God he says he believes in the Torah he believes in the Torah everything he believes believes M Abu went to mount saai went up there his body was here his soul was there all types of wonderful things there was all plagues Egypt the whole thing happened over there split the ocean into 12 no problem everything is good he believes everything except one small thing in the Torah one small letter or even one of the teachings of the sages he doesn't believe that the says this person is anus has no share of the world to come and that's what the rter 3 number six when it talks about these are the people that have no share of the world to come there is the missionaries which is called the minim people that are enticing Jews to go to all forms of idolatry such as Christianity Catholicism Buddhism uh uh lgbtq ISM all these other types of idol worship then there's also the Heretics the Kim who are these Kim the rambam elaborates on the next on the uh same uh section chapter 3 but number eight and he elaborates these Kim one of the conditions to be a is a person that doesn't believe even one word of the Torah or the sages one word he doesn't believe he says listen you know what I think everything the sages the tah is true everything is good but I think that over here when they mentioned this in the it doesn't make sense because according to my logic or according to the uh scientist on uh that gave a TED talk or according to whoever whatever uh the the sages are wrong here that person just took himself from gedan and inserted himself into G why one word one word now what are some of the things that we know and we love and and and and we believe but yet you could easily have an average person that's from I have a tough time believing I'll give you a story the time of kak kak was not a rash from birth in fact fact kak was a sadik say that korak was a Nai was a prophet he was from sheet leev he did amazing Hashem blessed him to be the richest man in the world so much so that he had more money than anybody in history to the extent that until this day there's an expression in Hebrew which is Rich like k K was enormously wealthy the in Shabbat says that's actually part of the his downfall is that he started giving money to the uh the different uh leaders of am and they started simply agreeing with everything he said so the uh the owner of the money is the owner of the opinion in so many words and K saw Ines that is going to come from him so he figured that he must be better than mosu if sh is going to come from him certainly he's going to win this argument against mosenu and since the logical way wouldn't work by simply explaining to people this is what I saw or I I am better I'm a better speaker whatever it is what he do he invented all types of Lies he said that m is really trying to steal our money he's uh you know he's uh telling us that we have to you know buy M like uh the $500 M $150 m in every door why do I need to buy if I have a so m is probably just trying to make money out of us or another says that says m is trying to make money on us by telling us that uh we have to buy theit that has uh to be special made where the whole thing is uh White except one one little string has to be that's made from the uh blood of a specific uh animal uh doesn't exist anymore even though there's some debates in the world that it does point being is do not accept that is still around in the world today but at the time ofu certainly he was there and one of the strings would have to be so he says why do I need one string to be if my entire garment is my entire garment is discolor so I think it's mosenu maybe has Factory or something maybe he's trying to make money out of us and he made up all types of Lies then he said look all of these laws when M was telling us we have to give M we have to give tithe to the quim that's probably because his brother's the Quin he made his brother the Quin so he wants us to give him money and I can tell you guys he says that this is not good I just spoke to an old lady he says and this old lady used to be rich her husband gave her her husband died but he gave her a bunch of money gave her a bunch of fields but she had to give uh Moshe uh you know more and more pieces of it every month every month eventually she said she couldn't handle it she sold a field she bought some uh some animals but then mosenu and his brother came and they uh said no you got to give us from this too so she kept giving him and giving him until the point where she had no money see so mosu stole everything from her these are the types of lies that korak invented now unfortunately because he had so much money and apparently he was a good speaker people believed him so much so that there had to be a showdown Showdown where mosenu brings the he has to bring an incense offering as a sacrifice to hem and korak and his 250 rabbis that follow him also bring it mhu is praying to don't listen to their prayer K is certain he's going to win and there are plenty of followers that also ass certain that K is going to win so much so that this causes commotion in the Heavens to the point where the angel of the sun you know the Sun every one of the Creations has an angel the grass in your front or backyard has an angel next to it the says that each day tells it grow grow there's an angel for the moon there's an angel for the Sun there's all types of angels says in there's an angel in the middle of the universe where the name of this Angel is Israel and it has the name has some type of uh uh seats on his on its head and on it it says is and then each day at a specific moment it Roars in the middle of the heavens bless bless to all of creation and all of creation responds bless is AEM forever and ever there's such an angel imagine how big this Angel is so there's all types of angels one of the Angels is a son the sun the sun that is apparently according to the people that are familiar with the distances between Earth and the Sun they say it's 93 million uh uh miles away from from us good the angel of the sun cries to a and says I've had it with this if you let kak continue this way embarrass mosenu and you let him win tomorrow I'm not shining I'm not shining tomorrow says to the son ah so when mosenu is being embarrassed you threaten that you're not going to do your job and shine what about when people are making fun of me what about when people are not believing in me and they're praying to Idols they're praying to you they're praying to the Moon they're praying to cows they're praying to rats they're praying to money how come you keep signing every day for the last few thousand years the son got so embarrassed that he realized oh how is it that I've been so foolish that I never mentioned a single thing about a desecration of God's name that happens almost every second people are praying to Idols people are praying to money people are praying to all types of all types of nonsense I never said anything but mosu I said something not that mosu is no good I shouldn't vouch for him but how come I didn't do the same thing forem the sun got so embarrassed it didn't want to Shine Anymore it wanted to die said you have to shine the sun was too embarrassed to shine and the mid says every day for the last 3,334 years shoots arrows of fire that are even hotter than the Sun at the sun to force it to shine because so embarrassed so now we see from here the mid tells us some behind the scenes of the magnitude of a is humility but also the the moment that any creature in this world understands where it stands in comparison to the Creator the first thing they feel is embarrassment because they're not doing enough so how could it be that a person hears that the rabbis the isot the different organizations that are publicizing to says givea it's important help the poor help the needy help the Torah Scholars and either they don't give or they give like you know whatever change they have in their pocket while the millions and the hundreds of thousands and the tens of thousands are stored safely at some Bitcoin or some stock or some bank account account that's giving them 4% interest they give you like yeah hey hey like you know like the leftovers you give to dogs how come how could it be that on one end the son wanted to die and still wants to die to this day because of the embarrass that happened three years ago 3,000 years ago but the average person religious but tell them listen do you give myale do you give 10% of your income at least invested in tah ah I give enough I give enough I'm not asking if you give enough or not I'm asking you if you fulfill the Mitzvah on top of that you give Stu on top of the 10% each time before yov each time there's an opportunity each time you have extra do you know the laws of of Tak do you know the laws of money I give enough I give enough whether you give enough or not is according to the Tor not according to the opinion [Music] let me know uh what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn too
