so here we are going into Kaneka and uh
tonight's the first night I think all of
us are feeling a special energy in the
air compared to other years um why it is
that this year feels
different I believe is because there's
this positivity in the air I don't think
it's just the fact that Trump was was a
reelected I think that um if you're
Jewish you know and now we've got this
like entire new Middle East
happening but all of this to me started
sukus time I don't know if raise your
hand if you were here suus time anyone
was here suus time did you notice that
like there was an energy in the air that
was like crazy like I've been here that
was my 33rd sucus here
and I've never felt the energy like that
before and I kept getting clips of
like all kinds of situations whether
there were hidic situations or there
were the nitty like there was a nitty
keepa situation like
the but there were like thousands of
them and they were dancing their hearts
out with Lula vs like Mish with their
Lula vanesta dancing and dancing and
dancing and dancing I had have this clip
it you could feel like something's
happening and then I get a clip showing
people on the Temple Mount like face
down hands forward feet out like flat on
their faces on the Temple Mount I mean
Jews were there were police just to
watch Jews lips to make sure they don't
pray and if they prayed they would get
arrested but during sukus people are
going up in the Temple Mount hopefully
in permitted places because some areas
are permitted and they were flat flat
out one after the other after the other
like no one was stopping them and it it
feels like even the state of Israel you
know which has been no friend to Judaism
in many ways I mean obviously friendly
in other ways but even the state of
Israel seems to be getting a getting
like Jerusalem fever you know they're
getting like Jerusalem syndrome a little
bit and I anyway I think some exciting
in the air and Hanukah is the ultimate
excitement and that's what we're going
to focus on um today what we're going to
work on is very not politically correct
so I hope uh anyone watching this
understands I'm not here to offend
anybody and you know I I came to heal
not to harm and to love and not to hate
and to make peace and not war you know
that's what I'm here for
however however there is something that
all of of us need to make get real clear
and it's from King David and we say it
every kabat Shabbat and that's oh
Hashem those who love God must hate evil
those who love God must hate evil
there's no
neutrality when it comes to evil you
have to hate it with a consumate
hatred if you say you love
but you're neutral when it comes to the
things that the Torah clearly describes
as forbidden as the dark side as as evil
if you're neutral about that you know if
you have like liberal positions about
like you know like Live and Let Live or
free to be you and me or you know
the you know like I'm doing my thing you
do your thing you know and
everyone does their own
thing and uh or uh you know seeing
seeing Judaism as one of the world's
religions even you know that's that's
wrong Judaism is number one not a
religion and it's not one of a
group we're not one of a group okay
we're we we're a sheep surrounded by 70
wolves and some of those wolves you know
some of those wolves are religious
wolves but we are we are not religious
people at all and uh and you'll just
notice that even the people in this room
would you ever consider yourself a
religious person you the way Gentiles
consider someone religious like you're a
religious man oh you're a very religious
man you know you're not and I'm like
extremely not you know I what is a
religious person like what does it even
mean to be a a religious
person you know I don't even I'm I'm
personally I don't think I can even
Define what that means but it's
certainly not me it's none of the Jews I
know my goodness the Jews I know are are
wild and crazy and and and they're
they're also
very very you know just they're just
into they're into God and doing the
right thing and but re
religion now I know this sounds a little
weird so maybe we should Define religion
religion religion means uh when you wish
something were true and then you kind of
align your life around it whereas
Judaism isn't like some wish you know
like some some fantasy wish that
something you know were true it's not
that at all and you can actually test
whether or not there's a God you can
test whether or not the Torah is man
written or God written you can test the
actual literally like
Ben Ben son after sun from Mount Si all
the way to 2024 of everyone's sitting in
this room like we literally have our
families lined up my family goes goes
back like our family tree goes back like
you're all of our family's trees go back
thousands of years now you may not be
able to name your great great great
great great great
grandfather but I promise you that your
great-grandfather who you probably could
name could name his great-grandfather
who could name his great grandfather
could name his great grandfather could
name and it just goes all the way back
till you're at the destruction of the
second temple when we got thrown out
into Europe and meaning the ashkenazim
got thrown into Europe and the sarim
obviously to other countries
and and the but we're we're a direct
line of that we're not religious people
who wish something were true and that's
why you'll notice in the evening prayers
after shma we
say what does it mean and this is all
our
faith and then it has a two dots which
is a colon and it's a long
paragraph about our history just what's
our what's Aruna Aruna is our history
what's the amuna of religion is the
belief that some guy heard something in
a cave or it's the belief that you know
someone did X Y or Z and now he's the
new uh the new Prophet or whatever you
understand whereas whereas we're just
saying we were three million people at
bount SI 600,000 men between the ages of
20 and
60 and when you include the elderly the
females and the children you're at 3
million 3 million people stood at a
mountain you can't make that kind of
stuff up it was only a few hundred years
later that Israel's living in the land
with King David we already we have his
coins we have his we have stuff with we
no one denies King David's rule no one
denies the period of his Rule and yet
it's it's a full Israel with full
Judaism going on at that time and it's
only a couple hundred years after Mount
sin how do you fake that how do you how
do you get something like that going
because you can't tell everyone they
were there if they weren't and they'll
just say let me ask my Uncle Joe let me
ask my aunt
Edna you know were they there and so the
me need the Tor should never have said
everyone was there if it's a religion
because you could easily just say we
weren't I can't tell you I saw you in
the supermarket in Tel Aviv yesterday
because you weren't and you just say I
wasn't you know and now just add people
it only gets Works no N I see you I I
saw all of you there he be like no you
didn't well what if we had the room with
a hundred people and I said okay it
wasn't you it was your grand it was your
grandparents or your great grandparents
your great great grandparents your great
great great grandparents you know
however many it would take to get to
King David's time in
Israel you know what would you do you'd
go home and say Grandpa we're great
grandpa do you know anything about being
in the market in Tel Aviv
yesterday or do you know anything about
being in some other place with a
gigantic THX surround sound Omnimax 3D
LSD Blow
Away experience at Mount Si like you
ever heard of that and they would be
like we don't know what you're talking
about that's that that's what would have
happened if the Torah was made up it's
not possible that anyone could have come
to the people I don't know who the
people would be but they come up to the
people and say hi um you're the people
is is he speaking to a group is he
speaking to an individual and he walks
up to you hi I don't know if you know
this but you were um you're part of this
three million group of people you be
like what are you talking about you know
I'm a pagan sheep herder you know and
when what who was the person he would
come up to to explain that he was he's
the ancest he's the are the descendant
of three million
people the it's cuckoo there's there's
only one way you could have such a claim
as if it happened and no one would put
that claim unless it happened because
people would just laugh you out of the
they would just laugh you away not to
mention when you go into the actual
Commandments and you start
seeing genocidal Commandments do you
know that there's genocidal Commandments
in the in the Torah I'm not talking
about wiping out am like I'm talking
about wiping out
Israel what yeah wiping out Amal wiping
out the Canaanite Nations meaning you
you were to offer them peace that they
could leave peacefully or they could
take on the seven the seven Commandments
of the children of Noah and stay in the
land or or not one man woman or child
will be Left Alive
Loa not one person can be Left Alive
those are the three options they can
leave peacefully they can stay and keep
the seven Mitzvah Ben Noah or not one
man woman child grandma or grandpa will
be living because the Jews are going to
wipe them
out and but no I'm talking about Genesis
we have Commandments that kill Israel
kill the Jews you know what commandment
kills the
Jews the sabatical year it's absolutely
forbidden to to gain your sustenance
from the Earth every seventh
year if I were if a man was writing the
book If I writing the book I'd leave
that one
out why would I put that in
there now the Torah says the reason it's
in there is because if you been if the
land's busy working every chabas well if
you add six years of shabas it equals
one
year of the land resting because the
land is even though you you we all think
of the earth we all think of the earth
as just land but the Earth also has a
soul if it's the land of Israel the land
of Israel has its own soul and the fact
that it doesn't get to rest six years
means it gets a year of rest at the end
of six years you ever thought about that
yeah that's why it's crazy it says and
and what's the punishment of not keeping
this rule the punishment of not keeping
the rule it says very clearly in Torah
the land will SP you out the L will
eject you we we are the only country in
the world with an eject button we are
the only country in the world with we're
the only land in the world that has a
digestive system it either AB like
absorbs the
Jew and you become the land right
because when you when you assimilate an
Apple the Apple becomes you when you
assimilate a piece of chicken the
chicken becomes the Jew the land of
Israel absorbs us it actually digests us
and then you become the land of Israel
and have you guys noticed since you've
been living here that that the uh that
you're becoming like more and more eral
dick yeah anyone visited the US and said
like what in the world's going on out
here meaning visited Jewish communities
and you're like what what are these
people up to you hear what I'm saying
that's religious Judaism by the way
religious Judaism is being an observant
Jew outside of Israel then you're a
religious Jew
here in the land you're you're when
you're in the land of Israel you are in
an organic dance you're in an organic
dance with tah and mitzvas andil and aod
and and you're you're
you're I once uh saw a guy in La who's
aam guy and I was teaching at UCLA for a
few I was a young a and was teaching at
UCLA my wife and I were doing our best
to make chabas tables at the University
and stuff
anyway uh this this uh French Jew oh man
what's his name he passed away he's a
famous famous U movie writer and stuff I
don't know why
he son's his son's name is
pakia saki
H well he's a famous guy I don't know
his name popped out of my head anyway
ran into him and you know what he says Y
what are you doing here and I said well
I'm actually doing a little Outreach at
UCLA and he's like no Y in Jerusalem you
are like a prince here you are
nobody I was just like oh man you know
back to the campus another big sh is T
but I I do believe that if if a Jew does
leave the land to go do Outreach he's
paying dues you know you're paying some
dues there and I had to pay some dues
out there and brard a lot of
people who are observant today but the
uh and by the way leaving the land of
Israel is forbidden did you guys know
that you're not allowed to leave here
meaning meaning once it once you get
digested you can't you can't induce
vomiting you understand once you get
digest there's no inducing vomiting
you're you're in that's it that's it and
the the Torah actually only allows um
three reasons why you're allowed to
leave Israel and there's kind of a
fourth as well the three reason you're
allowed to Israel is we learned them
from the avos one is if there's a famine
meaning you can't make a living you're
going to die here okay you can leave
another is that you um that you need to
um you need to get married we know from
the AOS that they found their wives in
Syria so you're allowed to leave for a
wife you know although Yak wasn't
allowed to leave which is already a
Simmon for some some of us and the third
reason you're allowed to leave is for um
for getting a teacher which is one I
never understood that one I should give
the real third one the real third one is
Pigeon Shin is you're allowed to go out
of land to um to uh redeem someone who
had been kidnapped if a Jew gets
kidnapped outside the land you're
allowed to go outside the land to redeem
that kidnapped person and then there's
like a Mand that for your learning like
if there's a teacher who could teach you
Torah in a way that no one else could
you could leave the land for that
clear what happens if you don't have any
of those what happens if number one to
find us uh number one was a lack of food
Israel is like teaching the whole world
agriculture today like our Tech
Technologies and making food no one can
touch Us in that we're we're literally
like like feeding the planet at this
point with our Technologies and uh
number two finding a wife I never seen
so many Jewish women in my life they're
everywhere number three is the uh the
the leaving for uh for Pigeon Shu for uh
kidnapped Jews yeah you can leave for
that but you know the only kidna Jews we
got right now are in um
Gaza right now may they be returned soon
and the um and finding a rabbi who could
teach you Torah I would suggest coming
to Israel for that if you want to find a
rabbi who could teach you the Torah and
you're unique in the way you would learn
it so you need that unique Rabbi there's
a there's like a I think it's a 99%
chance that he's already in Israel
whoever that whoever that guy is you
know he's somewhere in the land of
Israel meaning you can't leave here
anymore
therefore all of us who do get on planes
to go which includes me I'm out out of
the country every a couple weeks BR I
get to be here for two months which I'm
so excited about and uh I'm running a
possi you seminar here in Jerusalem
January something January something I
think it's January 7th not sure but I
think it's the 7th which is really
exciting and I should be having my I'm
not going to announce that I'm so ADHD
saying way too I remember once I needed
information from somebody and it was
some kind of based in case and they
bring me in to get information out of
people sometimes so I need that
information but I'm not just call a guy
I got to do some background and find out
like how how what's going to be my angle
to get the information so some I called
this first guy I said can you give me
some information about this guy because
because I need to I need to extract some
information for Basin and and he was
like oh he's ADHD he'll tell you
everything he said you need nothing just
call him and ask him whatever you want
want and he was right two hours later
I'm just like I got him on speaker phone
writing out everything he wasn't
supposed to say you know to give me all
kinds of background information to uh
take care of a little Justice that was
necessary but yeah I'm also like
announcing stuff I shouldn't be
announcing so I'm I cut it right there
um the next thing by the way I'm great
at Secrets I just my own secrets I'm not
so great at uh I'm from California you
know in California you just say
everything about yourself what's up guys
welcome can you guys make a second row
on either side of Benny over there
because yeah the closer the camera
closer in towards this camera meaning as
far
as
latitude yeah oh my gosh we're talking
about so many things at once so but but
here's the thing guys yeah that's a good
spot right there so here's the thing is
um we're talking about there's no you're
never allowed to leave
Israel yeah no leaving
Israel is that clear yes yeah so we're
never allowed to leave this place and
you have a phone call you need to go
with a permanent intention or just
you're not allowed to leave for any
intention because you're not allowed to
induce V vomiting Israel is the only
country in the world that has a
digestive system and so you're not
allowed to just throw yourself out so um
so here's what I want to say is for
those of us who do have to leave CU some
of us go yeah I go all the time I'm I'm
outside the country all the time so when
you leave the country you have
to bring somebody like some random Jew
closer to Judaism so let's say you're
going for a wedding family wedding or
you're going for whatever reason going
for PESA you know and meanwhile everyone
you see already keeps Torah so you can't
be going for them because there's the of
the three reasons allowed to leave
Israel one of them is to return a
captive uh prisoner well well Judaism
tells us that someone who was raised
without Torah a Jew raised by a family
that didn't teach him Torah is the same
as someone being born into
captivity I mean we exist in our where
are you right now you're existing in
your own conscious experience right but
your guys's conscious experience is
completely embedded in the Torah view
it's like you're you understand so
you're there's a freedom there there's a
freedom there you're you're in a a you
may not feel so free right now but you
are in a very free place because I
promise you if you were raised
non-observant and you are right now in
your non-observant life you don't know
olive bet you don't know there's a God
you don't know Torah is real you don't
know any of that you're completely
imprison you're in jail and by you
saying a good word to someone or
inviting them to a shabas table or
getting them started with a book or
something when you're visiting America
by you doing that you have you have made
it that you didn't spit yourself out of
land got it so you're so I have big
reasons to leave Israel every time I
leave big reasons leave but they're
never The Big Three which are the ones
you're allowed to leave for so I always
make sure when I'm outside the country
to reach out to somebody so I I'll be in
whatever I'll be in New York or
something and someone will say hey can
you pop by can you pop by this place and
speak to a group of Jews over there or
or whatever or hey can you come out with
lunch with me and my cousin I have a
cousin who was raised non observant I
know you're busy you know and I'm just
like I'll be there and I make sure I go
for that no matter how busy I am if
someone offered that that's that's the
only reason I could be outside of Israel
is to have lunch with him and his cousin
that was it you know um my wife flew for
Thanksgiving to be with her family you
know we weren't we were not raised
observant so she flew for Thanksgiving
where all her secular family is and she
knows like like yes we're coming for
Thanksgiving is one of the one of the
heers of leaving Israel to go for
Thanksgiving no but if you go there and
you talk to with your
family that
works now um what we're talking about
here is the consumate
hatred consumate
hatred of
evil which is kind of interesting
because if King David's saying that to
love Hashem means to hate evil not at
all Progressive not liberal not not you
got to hate it you got to hate evil not
only that Abraham what's Abraham known
for which which character
trait right except guess what Abraham's
actual original character trait is not
it's not
kindness It's not hate it's
worse it's worse than it it's hates its
expression but it's actually the maybe
the root of it is um it's um
rage
Haron which is hinted at by the fact
that he came from
kharan which is the word rage Abraham's
actual attributes Rage that's his true
attribute now tell me how effective
would Abraham have been as this outraged
guy what would you do if you came to a
tent of a guy who's outraged well I
would run the other way so Abraham was
smart and he
said he said I'm totally outraged and
here com some
idolators what if I just like take all
that rage and just like Channel it into
kindness what if I Channel it into
kindness I'll share with you a little
story I was I was once walking home from
carlen shabas day with one of my
neighbors who lives right behind this
building and he's like he always screams
shabus at the cars when we walk we walk
by so I always know when I walk with him
that every conversation will be peppered
with a small Interruption when a car
would drive by and he would have this
blood curdling scream I mean you can see
veins popping out of his for yeah he's
not this guy's not a curling he's
neighbor and his his neck's like you
know swelling as he screams you know
[Music]
ja shaking his fists at the car you know
meanwhile the car is all you hear in the
car it's winter you know the windows are
closed he's going down the road you
know but you know he's doing his mitz
for
sh
anyway over the years uh he finally said
to me when we got to our neighborhood he
said you know yum I know I know that
your your
rage over people not keeping
shabas is way bigger than
mine and I happen to know that too but
he it was amazing this guy hopped it he
said your rage is much bigger than mine
can you sit on Benny's side over there
yeah right there just pull that chair or
Benny slide over a bit this way just so
he has real your rage is much bigger
than mine there's a guy screaming shabas
at the cars said that my rage is bigger
than his I never scream shabas at cars
if anything if the window's open I'll
try to get them to come for kiddish
but I said oh yeah why is my rage bigger
than yours he says I could never do the
Cure of you do it's just not my style
like I could never do cure of so I
express my rage over them breaking
chabas by screaming
chabas I know that every time you get to
your table you you got 10 15 20 guests
all who were not raised observant you're
spending hundreds of dollars per meal to
feed these people and to explain to them
T and explain to them shabas Etc
and because that's the right way of
using your
rage and he couldn't be more right he
couldn't be more right people who are
serious Outreach
personalities are we are
outraged we are
outraged we're coming up to Kaneka
tonight you have to be
outraged how did a little group of
kohanim who have no business in war we
not sending kohanim into war who how
could a little group of konic Scholars
Priestly Scholars
throw a full Revolution against the
already succeeding Greeks who they
already have like Idols in our holy of
holies in Jerusalem meaning we were done
there was nothing left of us they they
couldn't they couldn't like drum up
any motivation in the Jewish people to
even think to fight back there was no
one left who wasn't thinking in Greek
terms
well it's no wonder it was them though
if there was anyone to create the
revolution it would have been the ones
who are the holiest because the Holier
you are the more
outraged how do you express your
outrage express your outrage well
whatever is effective in this case what
was effective was
war the effective way to deal with being
outraged is war
in the case of having been completely
consumed by the Greek
people so this is what I want to say
going into our first candle of Kaneka
tonight is all of us should
um what's
that yeah oh yeah good morning yeah
yeah yeah yeah you got to get your hania
maybe worked out a little bit get your
manora worked out
um but I I think all of us need to do a
little in inward thinking right now on
um where are we where are we in a more
liberal place in our hearts about like
Live and Let Live and I'm okay you're
okay and free to be me you and me and
and you know to each his own all these
things that just like you
know it's like all of that that's the
western civilization
today the the the stone which is the
Jewish people that that the that the
builders hated who are the builders the
builders are the westerners the western
civilization the Americans the the
Europeans the the Romans the Greeks
they're the builders what do they do
they just build and they they they come
to a beautiful place and they're like
build you know we come to a beautiful
place we're like wow look how gorgeous
like can like feel aim's presence here
and these forests and the the lakes and
the waterfalls like wow this is
gorgeous you know when the when the
westerners met the Indians in New York
and they they wanted to Buy Manhattan
from the Indians there and the Indians
are like you want to buy buy land like
you wa you think you could own land and
they're like yeah we think you can own
land they're like no no the we belong to
the land the land owns us because the
tradition of the natives was you come
from the earth you go to the Earth like
you know we're we the land owns US
where're we belong to the land
was that great song from the Indian
tradition you have come to move me take
me from my ancient home land of my
fathers I can't leave you now we will
share it with you no man owns this Earth
we
[Music]
wrong now the wheels are R now now the
wheels are rolling
hear them howling Winds of
War it's my destiny to fight and die
because they knew they were goingon to
die is there no
solution can we find no the
way Lord let me
stay and then the endless sky and the
earth
below here I was born to
live and I will never go
home anyway the
uh I whenever I hear those words I
always think of
[Music]
us too bad I'm wearing a lapel mic
because there's a chauffer blast going
on
out probably couldn't hear it
the so they so anyway they I think they
bought Manhattan for like $25 or anyone
know what the price
was4 $24 and GL inass
be
really
and I mean think how much Manhattan's
worth today
so why are we even talking about this in
the middle of preparing for the first
candle
what
bu Builders
yeah so in in Psalms in to Hill and
we'll be saying it during during Hal
every
day the Jewish people throughout all of
history well at least Western history
because the westerners are the builders
they're the builders and we were the
stone that they just like can't find
where it fits in the walls so get get
these people out of here you understand
like to me the most amazing day of this
of one of the most amazing days of my
lifetime was October
8th October 8th was an amazing day
because I never for a
second never for a second think that the
Gentiles don't hate
us I never for a second think that we're
anything but a wolf I'll never for a
second think that we're anything but a
sheep surrounded by 70 wolves there are
a lot of wolves and sheep's clothing
I'll leave them nameless there's a lot
of wolves and sheep's
clothing and even if they want to say
they love us they love Israel
and I see teeth coming out of a little
sheep's little sheep mask you know and
what
yeah I mean with the exception of those
who are have done the deeper work there
are those who've done some deep work and
they get who we
are meaning meaning they've they've
really gone to the bottom of the barrel
of the
vibrational the the vibrational
tribal significance of who the Jewish
people are like they've they got they
got
it there are people like that they're
usually individuals as soon as it's a
group there's some other agenda if it's
a group of people like that smell a
skunk smell is com so October 8th was an
amazing confirmation for me meaning
while the rest of the world was like oh
my gosh like is that an actual protest
in honor of the of this genocidal death
cult called
Palestinians like is that an actual
protest in honor of them not the Jews
who were who just had the massacre and
the and they're still massacring people
over the next few days like are they
they're not saying death to
zionists at the Opera House in Australia
the the place that represents Western
culture Opera Houses the Western culture
and the Opera House house is the famous
architectural Marvel of of
Australia and it's like no they weren't
saying death to zus you know what they
were saying they were the protest was
screaming gas gas the
Jews the day after the massacre that's
the Jew so to me that day was an amazing
day it's like why don't we all just like
take off our costumes and real and this
is why you know when it says never
forget what does it mean never forget I
the whole you know the whole Holocaust
thing was never forget what do it never
forget never forget that they're never
going to forget who you are never forget
they're going to hate this Stone because
there's nowhere it fits in their
building you understand it just no
matter every angle they try to place it
it just doesn't fit there it's not part
of their building they're the builders
westernism is Builders they're from
yafet y it's an expander how do you
expand well just keep building out but
eventually you got to start building up
because you run out of rooms the end of
Manhattan Island you know can only go up
which is why Manon is probably the
tallest city in the
world the builders but there's one rock
that they just can't
place can't place that one
rock you know what that rock will be at
the end of days
the Cornerstone the roena what's the
Cornerstone Cornerstone is what holds up
the whole damn thing because if you look
at an arch you know the arch comes
around and you know when it gets near
the
top you know when it gets it gets right
near the top you put in that Cornerstone
and that Cornerstone up at the top holds
the whole Arch together everything's
leaning into the Cornerstone it is the
found the Hing once you put that
Cornerstone in then you can take down
all the scaffolding and all the braces
and everything that was holding the
arch just by you know having that
Cornerstone in there and the
Cornerstone is
the is what's holding up the entire
world but the thing is the cornerstone's
holding up the entire world all the time
all the
time and that's why oh wait one more
thing keep your question is that because
you ask before that the um there are
Gentiles out there who know who the
Cornerstone is meaning people who've
done like deep work they know who the
Cornerstone is and we're the Cornerstone
all the
time the stone that the builders hated
has
become the
Cornerstone which will be the end of
days you know don't think for a second
that God is not going to fulfill the
prophecies that we're going to rise up
to
be the clear Cornerstone of the
creation God's not going to negate those
all negative protheses negative ones
like you shall not do this or else those
don't have to
happen because we can do chuva we can
like God doesn't have to fulfill those
but anything God says will happen has to
happen and the fact that we're going to
rise up again as you know that that as
of will fall as of the West that
westernism will go down because remember
Jacob and ASF we can't be up at the same
time it's a polarity either westernism
is up and the Jews are down even though
we're the secret Cornerstone or the Jews
are up actually being the
Cornerstone so until we light tonight
let us all go deep into our hearts and
and say to ourselves
like where's my rage let's say to
ourselves where's my my unfounded
liberalism by the way I'm an extremely
liberal um person like in my own
personal temperament I'm probably the
most liberal person in this
room because I can outdo anyone in
liberalism which is why I've reached out
to so many people all around the world
is because I'm they people know right
away I accept them I don't prove
necessarily of their behavior but I
accept them 100% because I have such a
liberal temperament I I get that anyone
even doing the wrong thing thinks he's
doing the right thing at that
moment you understand I'm very liberal
like that he's doing the wrong thing I
don't approve at all of what he's up to
how you B approval and
acceptance you don't have to you
shouldn't actually you should have high
standards of approval high standards of
your meaning your own approval your own
personal Behavior obviously for your
spouse you're in charge of that as well
and your children so a high standard of
approval um also if you're in a
community like in someone's like messing
up the community by by introducing
standards that are not what everyone
moved there for you you have to stand up
and say something you cannot sit down
and watch your property value just tank
because you're afraid to stand up for
your community you must stand up and
um and it's not just property value
meaning the whole value system is
getting lost it's just that you'll see
what happens to the property value a
little later I just try to scare people
more about their own pocketbook because
it's gonna it will be affecting your
property value if you don't stand up
when someone's taking your community
down and the
uh high standards of
approval but your acceptance level like
accepting an actual human being for who
they are not what they do because
approval is based on Behavior it's what
they do whereas acceptance is who they
are you understand I don't know what you
do during the week I have no idea what
any of you do but I know for sure if I
were you I'd probably be doing the same
thing so I 100% accept you I'm glad I'm
me I'm me and I do something else but if
I were you I'd be doing that so I
realize that you're the doing is some
expression of some being and if the
doings off probably the being's off give
you an example if someone believes that
they're the holiest person in the world
what's his doing going to look like what
I don't mean holy compared to others I
mean he just feels so holy if someone
feels so holy what's his doing going to
look
like his doing is going to look like uh
probably look a lot
like you know like the like the what the
Tor what the what the Jewish law says
you should be doing that's what his
doing is going to look like but what
what about a person who believes he's a
shaggus what about a person who believes
he's like he's just a piece of
garbage what's his doing going to look
like what will his doing look
like probably yeah it'll probably be
junk food eating because doing you can
video right can can you video being no
can't video being but the guy feels like
a piece of garbage so you'll probably
notice uh he's
easily coaxed into eating junk food he
likely smokes probably abuses other
things as well um a guy who thinks he's
a piece of garbage probably let's say
tries to keep shabas but he's probably
when push comes to shove maybe he breaks
it you know you understand like his
doings going to be reflective so if I
see someone
who's off in some way of in his doing I
mean he's not holding very high
standards so I know immediately that
it's because there's some loss of being
in there there's some negative being
there because no one would do that
unless they of course didn't see
themselves ESP special as holy as as a
gift from God as as um as worthy of love
as worthy of of care and trust and all
the beautiful things of life if if he's
busy doing that kind of stuff chances
are the beings a little off well if the
being's off meaning if he sees himself
as a piece of garbage well what's going
to be my relationship to someone who
feels like a piece of garbage the answer
is
compassion to
be feel deep compassion for him my
likely move with my arm is not going to
be to punch him in the nose it's going
to be put my arm around him and see how
I can fan the Flames of his
being and you'll notice if you fan the
Flames of the being of a person they're
doing starts to shape up pretty quickly
because if the if you if the Flames of
the Beauty inside of every person which
is your Nisha if you fan the flame of
the Nisha in a person they're doing just
like shapes up you don't even have to
bring it up you don't have to mention
doing you all you have to do is fan the
Flames of the being what's
that of the
being well love is usually the best like
real genuine
authentic love and you love bomb them
and and you know love bomb you give him
a lot of love and and the uh generally
what happens once you give them a lot of
love is they feel safer oh by the way
when I say love I shouldn't use the word
bomb um imagine a guy walks in here all
strung out you know which happens
sometimes in this place you see a guy
coming in all strung out he looks like
he's doesn't even have pigment in his
skin cuz his Skin's all white cuz he's
probably been on video games and who
knows what else and and uh God knows
where that guy's been but they come in
here all strung out like that and then
you come along to love bom what's he
going to do he's going to run so
obviously when I say love bmam you have
to channel it in a way that's something
he can he just at this point he could
probably handle about a trickle like a
maybe a Shalom there was a guy in the
mikah today he was just sitting there
like this and the changer got dressed
and it was just you see that guy
anyway so I'm getting dressed and I'm
thinking I could just leave this guy
alone or I could ask if are you
okay and I chose are you okay those were
my
words he looked up and
had absolutely no
clear recognition on his face that I had
even said anything but I very clearly
said are you okay to him and he was I
could see he was english- speaking from
his the shape of his facial
muscles
so
anyway he didn't say anything he was
shaking too
yeah anyway
um so little something are you
okay so eye contact but what happens is
if they see you're very careful with
them very careful and the only thing
they're allowing in is like
what's that little hole right there and
you're like and you're really careful
with the Contours of that hole you'll
see the next time you talk to them it's
more like
that there go if you just if they see
you're honoring that they'll open to
that when they see that's being honored
too they just
that next oh you're giving a
hug and then what happens is there's a
lot of trust there so now that now
there's trust once there's trust they
can start opening up now I promise you
if you the guy opens up and you start
talking to him he's going to tell you
some story about how he was drop kicked
by somebody someone just probably his
father maybe it was his mother maybe it
was a teacher maybe it was a kid but at
some point in life he was just
like and and I don't mean literally
abused but something happened
because I've met people who were raised
in nature homeschooled in the
forest not with Judaism although the one
I met his mother was Jewish I've met
people
really nice nice what's his first name
forgot do do his grandson
cool cool anyway I met this kid and this
kid was
like so beautiful he was so beautiful he
was learning Judaism for his first time
here in Jerusalem such a beautiful guy
and and you know when I know something
though he made everyone uncomfortable
because he didn't know you're supposed
to look away when you talk to somebody
you understand like he didn't know about
this that you kind of give people a
little space and take your own I don't
know if you guys know this but you look
away when let's say you're talking like
face to face someone notice that you'll
both look away you'll turn your head
sometimes and look back you'll take your
eyes away and look back because the the
eyes are
projecting they they're intimacy
projectors intim projectors which all
the more reason to keep your eyes down
you know when when it's not appropriate
to be going for eye contact with certain
genders and because your your eyes are
intimacy
projectors and anyway but he cuz he grew
up in the forest he didn't know you have
to look away he just I had to explain to
him like like I'm cool with it but
you're freaking everyone else out you
know like like people are not like they
people are wondering what's your agenda
you know like look away a little bit so
he actually learned a little bit how to
do it so people weren't uncomfortable
with him he did my seminar he did the
Poss seminar and we're talking 20 years
back the he oh he because he was raised
so pure when he learned Judaism he was
at asur he became like a massive today's
a r and yeah he became a massive
instantly like one of the fast he moved
through arim what was supposed to take
five years he was done in three he was
the star of Asia and and he today he's a
RV somewhere and anyway so what happened
was at his third year where he was like
you know the
you know the acient Tor cover boy he um
he did the possible you and during the
possible U I don't want to give you guys
too much information in case you're
going to come in January
but the point in the possible U where I
suggest you don't have to do it but I
suggest that if you harmed anyone in
your life that you should probably call
them take responsibility for it that's
all
and what I mean by that you guys are
thinking like harm someone like stole
from them or like you know like us you
punched them out or ripped them off or
or embarrassed them or something not
what I'm discussing at all what I'm
talking about
is is that your father mother reaching
out to you in the way they reach out and
you didn't let
them my D yeah like you didn't let them
Reach Out or your older sibling who was
so good at everything he ever did you
know everything he touched turned to
gold or a younger sibling even worse and
you just felt like nothing whenever
you're with him so ever since you felt
that way you've been avoiding him so
there's a point where I suggest you
don't have to do it but I suggest in the
seminar that you that you
um give him a call say hey bro you know
it was the craziest thing that I was too
young to realize I did this but you know
when I was six I was like wait till I'm
eight I'm going to show him but the
problem is when I was eight you were 10
I was like wait till I'm 10 I was 10
then you're were 12 like wait till I'm
12 then you're were a bucker you're 14
like I could never catch up so at a
certain point probably when I was around
11 12 I just shut my heart to you
and you notice that I we have I haven't
said more than one word answers to
anything you've ever asked me since we
were you know you know now they're in
their 30s you know since we were kids I
just haven't let you in my life at all
and it just became a pattern and I never
knew how to break out of it and I'm
sorry I'm sorry and I love you and the
brother's like wow and I've had many
stories with the older brother who this
kid thought he didn't need him you know
and meaning he thought his older brother
didn't need him the first time that I
got someone to do this was you know
going back a lot of years over 20 years
the older brother burst out sobbing and
he couldn't stop saying I didn't know
what happened I didn't know what I said
I didn't know what I did I didn't all I
knew was my little my sweetest little
brother that I waited so long for
because it was all sisters and then he
had a brother like this older brother
had a bunch of sisters and then he had a
little brother and that little brother
was his life it was his life and then
when his brother turned around 10 years
old he just shut out the light he just
turned off the relationship not trying
to he just couldn't feel like a he was
becoming a a man while having such a man
in his life anyway the older brother
just burst out sobbing anyway those kind
of calls so guess what the one guy in
the seminar who didn't make any of his
calls one guy the seminer didn't do it
was him was this
guy his name's yier yair was the only
one who didn't do anything and and I was
shocked because he was like the best
student in the room I was like why
didn't you do it so he was like I'm GNA
do it don't worry okay so he comes up to
me and Yeshiva where you know an a he
comes up to me he says I bought a
ticket I said oh yeah where you going he
says he says I'm going to about six
different States including
Hawaii and the reason I didn't do the
talks in the seminar is because I'm
going now to do them in person with all
the people I have ever
known meaning because his his parents
got divorced so as his father was in
Hawaii and his and then he had there was
a stepmom that was over in Texas and
then this one was in California Northern
California in the forest where he grew
up and he actually went and did in
prison a was ready to kill me the guy
disappeared for like 3 months it was
planned that he was going to take full
responsibility for the way he had
decided he was going to survive his life
as a
kid with all these people in this family
that break keeps seeming to split like
an adom you know he was going to survive
that by
you know making some moves which were
probably Independence and stuff which BR
brought him to age probably and
found and but he did all these
conversations in
person why are we why are we even
discussing this I have no idea why are
we talking about conversation in person
oh eye
contact let's bring it back and then
we'll finish this session I contact
uh intimacy see openings up
someone's once it's open then you then
they will open about a story of what
they went through at which point you can
say hey can we separate the
story sorry can we separate what you
went through from the story you made it
mean about
you that's a deep thing I'm saying I
don't know if you'll be able to can we
separate the circumstances can we
separate what happen
happened from the story you let it mean
about you our interpretation our
interpretation but it interpret but it's
a an interpretation about me you
understand if I get embarrassed in class
because I forgot to zip my zipper and
now I'm back in
class you know fifth grade or something
you know 11 years old and and of course
someone in the class goes XYZ you know
and I'm just like don't you
know the circumstances was I forgot to
unzip I forgot to zip my
zipper but the story about me might have
been loser you get
that and then it's been the rest of my
life trying to make sure no one ever
sees me as a
loser and meanwhile I'm ignoring my wife
ignoring my kids why so I can keep up
the payments on my Range Rover
by being a total workaholic and now I'm
58 years
old and I'll tell you if anyone's got
their zipper down it's that
guy what I mean by that is that is that
he he never left the classroom he's
still playing the same story from some
stupid forgetting of a zipper one time
with one idiot in the classroom who was
just making fun which is what he did
because what happened to him is he now
makes fun you understand it's it's just
stories bumping into stories bumping
into stories these are just stories that
people tell based on circumstances so if
you so let's go back if you give him
some love right little
love he starts to trust because he sees
you you honor his you honor his vessel
how much he can receive starts to open
it when he gets it open he starts to
share once he starts to share starts to
tell you some difficult stories once he
tell those difficult stories you can now
introduce well maybe maybe we ought to
separate the circumstance from the story
you let it mean about
you and next thing you know his being
starts to spark it starts to ignite
there's a haneka candle there's a flame
and there's a little flame there and and
then others starting to Flame and
there's a bit of a coal and you can
start FL Fanning in the Flames till the
blame gets bigger and bigger next thing
you
know he's AIC meaning his doing is
reflecting the being because doing
always reflects
being garbage being like you know I'm
I'm a
loser is exhausting doing like trying to
make the payments on my Range Rover
while ignoring my most important
people but empowered being which comes
from the Nisha that's inside all of us
that you fan the flame of a person Thea
if that's the being well it leads to
inspired doing now your doing is
inspired and you want to know something
if you have empowered being that leads
to inspired doing guess what you will
never
ever be
tired you mean physically tired you
could be but you will you will never
feel depleted
exhausted again
meaning every time anyone ever sees you
they'll see you're just m much like the
most motivated person in the world
because being leads to doing and if the
being's
Eternal which is your being your being
is eternal if you're connected to the
Eternal being and you're able to negate
all the stupid stories you've made about
yourself over the years but you like you
just live from being and fan that
flame well then all you're doing is just
coming from the infinite
source of motivation which is the the
being and being leads to doing well if
your being's empowered your doing is
going to be on
fire right if you're on fire the doings
on fire and that's why you'll notice
some people never
Tire just go ahead
