Naftali Horowitz, Charlie Harary & Rabbi Yaakov Nadel | The Secret to The Best Life | CHAZAQ

Kazak Beth Cabrio Ammy Athletics are your eyes. Welcome everyone to today's very special event. We want to start off by giving a special shout out and thank you behind the scenes. Rafalaku Sham Zaras doing a round of applause. A lot of time efforts to make tonight's events great success and and of course it's a great partnership between Kazak Gri athletics and guard your eyes. Everyone of of course is encouraged to um we know of course the elections coming up is such an important um election coming up which has tremendous impact on on um on on so many of us every single person um every single rabbi ashari everyone is in unison everyone has an obligation to vote so everyone should register in the back right after the lecture there's representatives you have Allan David Izzy everyone to everyone should encourage of course to register to vote vote. Um, of course, if anyone um at the end of the at the end of the program, we we're going to be doing the raffle. Um, and you have to be in person over here. Stay to the end in order to be part of the raffle. And um, of course, this is a we have this this is tonight's event is called the secret to the best life. We have three tremendous speakers. We have Mr. Charlie Arari, Rabali Harowitz, and Rabbi Yakov Nadell. And um, and just to give a quick word about um um, tonight. So there was a story once of of of a rabbi in Los Angeles and and and somebody went over to a professor in one of the universities came over to him and he said, "Rabbi, you teach and I also teach I you you teach the teach the Judaism, Torah, and I teach mathematics, so we're just the same." So the rabbi said back to him, "I want to ask you a simple question. How how many of your students have you ever went to their wedding? How many how many have you been invited to their wedding?" He's like, "What do you mean? Why? Just none. Zero. I'm I'm just teaching them information. So the difference between me and you is that I'm not just teaching them information. We're teaching them about life. And that's what we're talking about over here tonight that we have so many we have these tremendous Charlie Rarowitz and they're not only just be teaching giving over information. They were teaching us about the proper derek the proper way the proper way of life. And um with without further ado, somebody who's impacting the community at such a tremendous level, the the founder and director of Kazakh. [Applause] The truth is I came here tonight to be inspired. A shoe of this magnitude is not just for a regular businessman. It's not just for college students. Everyone in class has what to improve when it comes to this matter. Uh but I was asked to say maybe two three words of introductions because my good friend Rafal Kub who was uh the man behind this year I was in Israel with him last week and he wanted me to share maybe a small thought that we both heard from the I want you to hear what he had to say. Anyone over here knows how many mitzvah do we have in the Torah? >> 613. That was easy. How many mitzvah are positive commandments in the Torah? >> 48. >> 2008. >> 48. Very good. How many of them are negative mitzvot? >> 365. Now, we know we got to say twice a day. That's a minimum. Morning and night. Now in we have several positive commandments obviously loving and teaching to your children and the right that's in how many negative commandments did we have in the whole section of only one which one is it the only that God felt The only negative commandment God felt should be in the par of not don't eat pork, not don't kill, doesn't say don't steal. It says what? Keep your eyes and your heart pure. Control your eyes. Control your heart. You know why? Because if you control your eyes and your heart, you can control everything else. You can take care of all the other don'ts in the Torah. When a person has his eyes in the right place, your actions will be in the right place as well. Now, you have today a lot of people teaming up together. Obviously, Bri is hosting this event. They've been doing so many great things for the community. They joined together with Ammy Athletics. Ami Athletics is a new thing that's been going on here for the past year or two. So many great things to unite the community obviously together with Kazak and of course with this organization called Guard Your Eyes Ge Some of you only heard about it for the first time today but there should be something that's part of your family whether it's yourself, your father, your brothers, your children, everyone needs the encouragement of this organization and we're going to find out more about this organization very shortly. But I encourage everyone to spread the word about this. It's avah we all have to work on and today be step number one. We're taking that major step and there should be every single one of you that came here today. This should be for you and your family to be written. We're gonna ask Robbie now please introduce the next speakers. Thank you very much everyone for your time. >> Thank you for hero man needs no introduction has has spoken right over here for so many years and u he really gives over his lathe he really and his time his heart for kra it's our great it's our great honor give round of applause to Mr. Charar [Applause] It's a big to be here to be back here. Thank you, Rabbi. Thank you for what you do, for the clal is I'm telling you, gee should be in your head. These these are things that we need to have on our fingertips. This is the crew that we have. These are our soldier. These are our commando units that we have to worry about as we go into the galut, as we're about to enter into the gula. We need to have our team. GY was one of those teams. You got to know it and hold it and you'll hear more about it later. So I want to share with you an idea as to why this is maybe the most important thing we can talk about now maybe. So without getting into details because once I get into these details I get lost. Talk a little bit about football just to get started for a second. I can't get too much into it. One of the great teams in the larger in the larger uh east coast was failing for many many many years. he switched their coach and the next year they switched their coach they went to the playoffs. So there's a lot of hawk as to why new new offensive systems, whatever. They interview the players at the end of the year. They're on a losing team. Year after year, same players, a maybe one or two draft picks, but the same team. Year after year after year after year after year, they're losing. The coach comes in separately. New coach, new team, new coaching staff. The next year, they go to the playoffs. They go, "How's that possible? Sam Crew. Everyone had a different answer. And there's one answer that I saw that stuck out of me. This is years ago. He said, "When the coach of our old team came in, he said, "Let's win the game." When the coach of the new key team came in, he said, "We're going to win the Super Bowl." When you play for the game in front of you, you win, you lose. When you're clear with where you're going, when you're gearing up in day one to play in the Super Bowl, when you're a playoff team in training camp, you play a different game. You see the end. You're already at the end. And when you're at the end, your today is different. How you practice is different. How you move is different. You're your your training for the playoffs. So that's why it makes sense that every single thing we did was heading towards the playoffs. We're right now in almost at Roshana. For us, we're going rolling. Soon Dashkin will start saying they'll start coming also. We're in the game. This is it. But when what's a super bowl? So allow me for a minute to get into the world of drop in the world of pine pine. Pineote pine. In the world of sorry in the world of Pineas I'll go back and forth the drop. I'll come back. In the world of premius they say that actually you know when the din is done we think the din is done on kipur we're done after that's why in get excited we're finished in the world of pine as it says you know when the din is really done the din is really done on the super bowl in the world of the pine is the came We we talked about the it never ends. We are always fighting Greeks. The Greek way of life is our fight all the time. And so we enter now into the season. We're in training camp. In a minute, the games are going to begin. We're going to get to Roshana and we're going to take it all the way to Kanuka. And in Kanuka, we'll have the final battle. And the final den, what's the den of Hanukkah? What's the fight of Hanukkah? And why does it apply to right this second? So, one of the questions we have when we go to Kaneka, we'll come back. In Kaneka, it says that what they were trying to do to us is to get us to forget Torah. I don't understand something. The Greeks weren't trying to get us to forget Torah. They were trying to get us to destroy Torah. How come when we say, we're saying trying to forget Torah? because you have to understand what the war of the Greeks were. Give me a minute. If you came to Shabb sound a little bit like a review, but it's good. We can review together. The Jewish people are sitting in in the beta mdash. They're sitting in Arit Israel. They're sitting fine. And all of a sudden, something happens. A man decides to take over the whole entire world. Who is this man? His name is Alexander the Great. Why did he want to conquer the whole world for? Greece wasn't enough. Didn't have enough money. He had plenty of money. He couldn't handle the area around. House was big enough. Maids, servants, he had fun. What was he doing? He wasn't conquering the world because he needed more land. He was conquering the world because he's on. He believed in something. He had a rabbi. His rabbi Aristotle told him that you have to go out and show the world the truth. What's the truth? The truth is that every one of those people in the world, they're crazy. They believe that up there in the world are gods and we're created in the image of God. They believe you're supposed to battle a god. The god's the center of the world. They pray to them. You worry about them in their lives is a god. Even if you weren't Jewish back then, you prayed to some god. You know who's in the center of the world? The hellist believe it's not hashem. It's not god. You know who center the world? Me. The human. Greek gods were made in the image of humans. We believe we're made in the image of Hashem. They believe the gods are made in the image of them. It's the body, sports, athletics, how you look. It's the surface. There's no inside the surface. When they put the rabbis in the room during the time when they translated the Torah, all the rabbis made a couple of the same mistakes. One of the mistakes that all rabbis made on purpose was they said, They wrote shishi. Why? Because they said if I write shiv in the one that translated they're going to make them work on Saturday. I can't tell them that on this day on shi they put in he put in the soul. They don't have a soul. It's whatever you see. It's whatever's in front of you. It's the body. It's this world. It's physical. It's what you can taste and touch. Alexand didn't run around the world because he needed more land. He was on. He was showing the world. You guys are crazy. You're praying to a god. You're missing your whole life. Serve yourself. Enjoy yourself. He had an ideology. He ran around the whole world and changed the world. He came to Eric. You know when he came to saw what happened? They were so scared they went out to greet him. He didn't say I'm going to destroy you. You know what he told the Cohen Gad? Stay. I just want to leave a couple of leaflets. Do you mind if I just leave a couple of books on Greek? I love the mdash. It's gorgeous. But just let me leave a cup. You mind the one gymnasium? Just a gymnasium. Get a little bit. And before you know it, for years and years and years in her with the beta mikdash, a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more. And within the beta mikdash in that period of time, he didn't come out with strong fights. Alan didn't come in with the with the battery armies. He didn't come in with the tanks. came in with a little bit of ideology, a little bit of germs. Remember we sat down for a couple of year for a couple of months and everybody had to shut themselves down because a couple of germs got loose. Before we had CO, you know, we had Greeks, germs. You know what the germs were? Relax with Hashem. You're in the middle of the world. You're in the center of the world. It's you. It's what you want. Relax with the whole bowing stuff. There's nothing happening. At the beginning, you know what the Jew said? show them. You kidding me? And then you know what happened? One guy's like, "Yeah, not so bad. Two, three, 100." Before you know it, there was a a war the Hellenists against against the the the the Piroshima against the Let me tell you something. When the Neshan, we'll talk about if I get if I come back before the Nanaka started, before they walked in with Antio, do me a favor. The Jews were killing each other. They were finding sadikim and killing them. By the way, not just Greeks, Helenists, Jews. You know why? Because they bought it. They were struck with the virus. The Greek virus. The Greek virus says what you see, you take. Greek virus says why you're holding back for. The Greek virus says pleasure. Pleasure is what you can put into your mouth. Pleasure is what you can put into your hands. Stop with the inside stuff. Don't be so polyiana. There's nothing happening. And guess what? Human beings, they buy that stuff. You need proof, go take a walk. They buy it. Go to go to the city. Look, go don't don't go to the city. If you ever went to the city, which hopefully after tonight you're going to stop going. Why is every single billboard trying to make some woman into not a woman? Why do they have to turn them into into into objects for for what? Because they're Greeks. That's what Greeks do. Now watch. Just give me a second. Watch. The Greeks did something amazing. Listen to this. I got this from beyond. Listen to what the Greeks did. Listen to their brilliance. I want to show you the game plan. They have a very clear offensive strategy. They're not the best in the world for nothing. We're not sitting in Galut because we're Greeks because they're They're JB ball players. You know what I mean? Watch what they do. Watch. During the time of a man named Talmai, Talmay was a Greek king. After Alexander died, the kingdom split. In the north was Dantiois, which ultimately became the guy who came to kill us in Kanuka. But in the south was a man named Talmi. His sec I believe the second Talmi. The second king Talmi wanted to show the world that he was cultured. So he created the library of of Alexandria. He wanted every single book in the world to be in the library. He sent a message up to the Jews who were living in Eric. He said, "Bring me your rabbis and I want you to translate the Torah into Greek. It's called the subtent." The rabbi said, "No." Why? Because the Torah isn't words. The Torah is code. The Torah is the ore of Hashem. Hashem took his ore. Hashem took his light, the light that sets the whole world or he put it, he's he buried it into the words of Torah. When you open up a gim, you're not just reading words about what happened to this shore and that shore. You're getting light that's behind black words. It's going into your open you look at the not just words. That's what we're doing the story. You're staring at light. That's why you when they walk through people going like this in their eyes. You ever see that? They're going into Why? Because this isn't just words to us. It's tun. It's buried. It's it's hidden with light in it. That's why people are sitting and learning and they're on fire. You go to the place like go to base mag go to BMG and Lakewood. Go to Eric. You see people walking in you see boys 25 30 years old brilliant guys that can be rich millionaires sitting over Garia on fire. You going what you fight for? They read Harry Potter. They wouldn't be on fire because they're sectic getting all the R. We didn't want it to be Greek because if it's Greek it's not translating Abraham to Abraham. Abraham has light in it. Abraham is just a word but he's the king. So 72 rabbis come down and the miracle happens. They all made specific mistakes to keep the Torah alive and it went through. And from that time on they showed the world that they are pro Torah. You want to go see today to a Greek place, go to go to Ivy League schools. It's Greek. Everywhere you look is Greek. All the fraternities are Greek. The symbols, everything is Greek. Go right now to an Ivy League school if you can get on school. Back in the old days, you can get on if you're a Jew. Now you can't even walk in the in in the quad. But back in the good old days, you walk in and you say, "I want to learn Torah." They're going to say, "Go home." Then we of course I have a divinity school. We got Bible one, Bible 2, we got prophets. We can teach you whatever you want. What do you got to go there for? We have every We have a professor of Bible criticism. We have everything here. Why? Listen, because the Greeks understand there's a value in what's called limudra. They respect it. They understand what it means to have scholarship. They understand what it means to have someone who knows something. It's very Greek to become smart. You're going to go and study Torah. And now I'm going to ask you a question. You know the whole by heart. We respect that. The Greeks are not against Limud Torah. In fact, they translated the Torah to get more people to study and to learn it. And they're not fighting limudor. What the Greeks fight is not lira. You know what they fight? The ore of Torah. Study, but don't get that your ore from them. Study, but don't look at those words because if you look at those words, don't feel the ore. Don't feel the light. Don't get the for a Greek, they want you. They're okay if you study all day, all night. But what they fight against, what we're in galut for, what we are fighting against right now is not limit. There's more Torah in the world. Why is there no gula? There's more books on this shelf than there were in towns in Europe. There's a million hours right now right now in Torah anytime. There wasn't a million hours in a hundred years. How come we don't have a because not about limu torah. You have to learn to. That's not what it's about. It's about the aura of Torah. It's the light that the the Torah gives you. It's your life. You sit down of a long day. You have a cup of tea and a and and a go and you feel like you're alive. If that's what it's about. It's about going to not being pumped. There's no don today. It's about not getting excited that kipur is over. I don't want to do it again for the next year. It's about going to dyomi and it's wonderful. Dam is great. But if you're pumped for a quick daf, why watch? Because we're have to go to to to shul. Me and you are going to shore to learn to go to Dafomi. And on the way, the Greeks are in their in control center and they go, "Uhoh, I see two Jews walking in Queens." Hold on a second. Check this out. Where are they going? They're going to class. What do you mean they're going to class? It's 6:00 in the morning. I know. Look at the Jews. How am I going to get these guys to stop? You can't stop. They're going to mut. So, the Greek one Greek Mossad guy go one Greek uh commander goes to the next Greek commando. Listen, I have an idea. Hold on a second. Boom. And the guy's walking on the street and he goes, "Yo, yo, before we walk in, check this out. Hold on. You see last night's game? Oh my god, you got to see this catch." He caught it over the guy's head and went across the middle and went the whole distance. Hold on. He's like, "Perfect. The stadium. That's Greek. Get me something that's kosher enough. Hold on a second. Go." And the guy pulls out his thing before you walk in. Check this out. No way. Touchdown. Okay, let's go inside. Greek's like, "Keep on learning, tough guys. I just got your R. You walk down the street, you look up at that day and go, "Oh man, that's amazing." Okay, put my head down. Let me pray. On the way to Mika, you're going, "Oh my god, that's amazing. Oh, I want that. I want that. I want Okay. Okay. Okay. Greek's like, keep on praying. It's cute. Keep on praying. I got all the out of your house. Pray. I love when you pray. It's cute. Give me a light. Give me a life." When you get excited, I want you getting excited about Greek things. Sports needs to get you pumped. Like as one rabbi said to me, the only Miss left in America today is sports. You take a guy, he's from Boston, he'll go to Yankee Stadium, he'll sit in the bleachers with his Boston Red Sox uniform on at the threat of death, but he won't wear a kipad down the street because what if a dog guy looks at him and ah, he's ready to walk into in he's going into Yankee Stadium. No problem. I'm a Red Sox fan. But to walk down the block, I don't know. I get kabop scam. What if a guy looks at me? I think there's four million Jews here. I don't understand. Greeks like of course the mas belie. You know why the masura so strong on that side? Because the rabbi said he goes, you watch your father scream at a television when you're a little kid. You say that thing is the most important thing in the world. Your dad fetches to dapomi and screams at at the screen. Your kid goes, "That's R and that's words." And the Greeks and command center go, "We just got another one." That's the fight. If you're like me, you're battling the rabbis. I don't know. They're holy people. I'm not holy. I'm the regular dude they put up first. That's our fight. They convinced us. They have all the fun. Period. End the story. Now, you got to pray or else God's going to zap you. You got to learn and we're going to make you feel like you're a god door if you learn one page in order to keep you coming back and back. You want to know where the fun's at? The funs where you close the mouth. The funs when the shaw's over. That's where the aur of your life is. The aur of your life is in Greek land. And if the Greeks can convince me and you is in stadiums and on billboards and on shows and they'll take they'll keep us sending us videos 20 second whatever it is they'll change up their game like the is so good he's got so many he will keep the game going 24 hours to make sure that your eyes never think for one second that your life belongs s in the aura of Hashem. So we'll struggle. We love keep Yoshipur, but we don't want to pray that much. We love Torah. The rabbi keeps on giving us entertainment because getting a little bored, forget it. We love And if me and you, if you're like me, you spend your life conflicted. You want it, but that world is so much fun. I'll tell you one last thing and then we'll go we'll get to the point. You want to know what the greatest Greek thing of all time is? Thank god I don't do it. Fantasy football. That is Greek one. First of all, football's a game. So it's a fantasy. You understand? A game made up some some guy made up a game. But that's not enough. Greek's like I I I got to get the I got Jewish kids. You know what I'm saying? They're all GMs. They all own teams. You know what I'm saying? And like these kids don't play. I got to find a way to get all these kids to pretend that they're ah I know. Let's take the fantasy and put a fancy on the fantasy. Now, how is he going to learn any toss the whole year in yeshiva? Keep him figuring out how to make a trade as if he's running a football team. By the time he's done with trades, it's already January that the whole year nisha is finished. Don't worry about it. It's the most brilliant move of all time. Fantasy football. Fantasy on the fantasy. It is the best played game in the world. Dam says like this, listen to this. He's like, I you see ge, you got to go all over. One of the things that they push and one of the things you have to watch if you don't watch this every day you're not playing yet something called Mayan if you don't see it you got to watch it couple weeks ago they had a thing from a rabbi name of Mosha Katz he quoted I forgot you go watch what he quoted quoted the go I don't remember he quoted someone that says that that that literally it says that you never have any pleasure coming to you in this world that if you resist in an assur way you don't get it back no such thing What does that mean? So there's a lot of different reasons he gives story but a guy who goes to Zona doesn't doesn't with her. She ends up coming back and converting and the whole go watch. But here's the idea. Listen to this two seconds. Every single second of your day I'm telling you every second of your day you're fighting. But here's the fight. And let's just call it straight. The fight is for where your R is going to come from. You can't have it both ways. I'm sorry. Welcome to the world. Does it? Greeks tell you you can have everything. Jews say, "Be careful." There's no such thing. Kushin means just her and nobody else. Be strong. You're okay. You don't have to have every flavor of ice cream anymore. You have your wife, you're done. The kadesh means I have the strength to say no. Every single day the comes and says give me your or take your words and come to show I want your or I want your life. If you put your ore in the Greek world I'll keep you on a hamster wheel your whole life. You'll never taste Torah. You'll never come to a bed midash be finished and go ah felt amazing. You'll never go to a a one morning and open your heart until you walk out and you say, "Hashem, I feel like you're holding my hand. You'll never taste what it feels like to look at your wife and think she's the only woman in the world. You'll never be able to see a holiday and be able to have a cle to where you feel like you're floating in Hashem's presence. Instead, you're waiting for the thing to be over because it's game seven. These guys are waiting online. You ever see the saddest thing in the world? You see 40 Jewish kids on a game seven day with one security guard. You know what I'm talking about? Did they win? Did they win? Did they win? Guys like you're a Jewish kid. A holiday. But did they win? Did they win? What is that? Beautiful, wonderful, amazing kids with the green virus. You know where the battle's from? You know where the battle's from? Here. The eyes is your battle. That's our battle. When my eyes go around the world, I tell the world, "Take the light out of my eyes and put it wherever you want. I'll put it in front of a screen for four hours and go like this. Take my life." They go into your eyes and they pull out your soul and they say, "It belongs to us." The battle of the Jew is the battle of his eyes. And when he says, "I'm not looking at your stuff." Because if God doesn't want me to see it, God doesn't want me to have it. And my soul is bound with my father in heaven. Period. I trust him. If he'd want me to have it, he'd bring it to me in a kosher way. And if he doesn't want me to have it, it's not because he's pulling my my my my joy. It's Hashem. He gave me my breath. He gave me my tavot. He gave me my life. I'm putting my b I'm putting my my my my card in Hashem's basket and that's it. And if I don't get it, I don't get it. But I'd rather go to Shmay after 120 years. Turn to the Hashem and say, "Hashem, I voted for you. I sacrificed for you. I fought for you. They didn't get me. I'm giving you the soul. You gave me a pure soul. Here, it's back to you. I didn't lose to them. You put me in America 2025. This is Greek land. They own the place. There's a few of us here. And in the few of us that are here trying to fight the big machine, I'm one of your commandos, Hashem, cuz I trust you. You're never going to let me down. And any pleasure I could have gotten by looking at the wrong thing, I know you're going to give me tenfold if you need to by having the right thing. I'm going to feel it here. I'm not going to get in here for 10 seconds. I'm going to feel it here. I know that if my eyes are clean, my prayer will be clean. My my Torah will be clean. My marriage will be clean. By the way, I raised my children will be clean. My kids are going to grow up in the world and they're going to grow up when they get older. They're going to look at their father and they're not going to know how to say it. They're going to say, "My father said is kadosh." And then someone go, "How'd you have the strength? How'd you walk down the street?" And they're going to say, "I don't know." You know what the answer is? Cuz you didn't do it. And your kids are watching you. because we don't have to lose just because it's hard. We don't have to lose to them. We're the Jewish people. We don't lose to the Greeks. And we're living in a time where there not enough around that are willing to step up and go, "My battle is my eyes. We're not perfect. I'm not perfect. Nobody can do this perfectly." But if we fight every day that our eyes are in the right place, that we're not looking at the things that don't belong to us, we're not looking at what the Greeks want us to look at. Take your stuff. Give me my Torah back. Give me the or back. Give me the chance to look at I actually enjoy myself. Can you imagine? Is it worth it? It's not worth it. And if we this one room in Can you imagine this beautiful event, you make a stand for Hashem. You say, "Hashem, I want to be aash. The Super Bowl is coming up in a couple of months. I know. I'm playing now. I'm in training camp playing now for the Super Bowl. I know what you want. Super Bowl champions in Jewish land means I'm a hash. I'm a Makabe. I'm starting to be a Makabe this second. And I'm going to fight the battle through my eyes. I'm going to watch myself. You'll see. And man, the times that I'm going to want it more than anything in the world, they say it's what it says. When you pass by something you want to watch, that second is an I'm telling you, giving you advice. Walk the streets or don't walk the streets. If you happen to be on a street and you see something that's inappropriate, and you close your eyes, look the other way. Pray at that second for something. You have an Hashem, give me the light. Take care of my family. Give me give me a good year. Every time your eyes are closed for Hashem, pray. And if you fight now and you come to Rosh Sha and say, "Hashem, I'm not perfect, but I'm one of yours now. I saw I enlisted in the army, in the real army, in the army of Hashem." Maybe Hashem will look at you and go, "Wow, look at this. You're crazy. I thought everybody's a Greek." You wait. If we have the strength together and to each other to realize that incredible power of getting our aura back, we may have a year gives us that this is the we get we want that we should get we want and we should feel that what Hashem gives us every day is we should walk and hold his hands through life and feel that the looks down on us and says, "I'm proud of you, my son. He did it. We should have that and together we should have and a year to school. >> Amen. >> Thank you Charlie for your unbelievable words starts off tonight with powerful powerful remarks. Our next speaker is Mr. of Talia Harowitz who was involved with Morgan Stanley we both management and um you might look very fine so he's involved in finances but and he's involved in with with people investing money but I could tell personally he's um he's he's involved in investing his own time to give back to the to to the Jewish world at large through through through his amazing sharim and videos that have been seen by millions of people around the world by his very famous book called you revealed put up by art scroll and he inspires and he really invests his time his efforts for for the Jewish people and it's our great great honor and certain [Music] [Applause] that are sitting here. It was 1944. The world was at war. There was a famous general. His name was G. General Anthony Clement McAuliffe. He was a senior US general and he was overseeing the 101st Airborne Division. And they were defending the city of Baston, Belgium. in what became one of the most famous battles of World War II, the Battle of the Bulge. In December of 1944, General McCau finds himself completely surrounded by Nazi troops. On the 22nd of December, he receives a letter dispatched to him by some by some German cadetses from a general van Lwick Yakimo and he delivers an ultimatum to General McAuliff and I'm going to read you the letter that was written. It said to the USA commander of the encircled town of Baston, "The fortune of the war is changing. This time the US troops in and near Baston have been completely encircled by strong German armored units. There is only one possibility to save the encircled USA troops from annihilation, and that is the honorable surrender of the encircle town." In order to think it over, a term of two hours will be granted, beginning with the presentation of this note. If this proposal should be rejected, one German artillery corps and six heavy battalions are ready to annihilate the USA troops in a near Bone. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two-hour turn. All the serious civilian losses which will be caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity. It is reported in the army archives and those that were present that when McAuliff received the German message, he read it, crumbled it up into a ball and threw it into a waste basket. He took out a piece of paper and he wrote the following. To the German commander Nu TS with an apostrophe exclamation point. Nuts. Sign the American commander. Listen to what happened after that. General McAuliffe calls together his troops and he says the following words. Men, we are completely surrounded by the enemy. That means we have the greatest opportunity ever presented to an American army. We can attack in any direction we choose. No matter which direction you fire your weapon, east, west, north, south, the result will be a dead Nazi. They won the Battle of Bone and it was a major turning point in World War II. Last week, I had the misfortune of a mustattend meeting in Midtown Manhattan on a day where it was triple digits. And I apparently didn't get the memo, but everybody else in the city did. It seemed that clothing was optional. As I exited the Uber, there was literally nowhere I can put my eyes. all four directions and even up because there was a balcony with a restaurant and there was a party going on over there. I couldn't look up, I couldn't look east and I couldn't look west every direction. And it was then that I remembered the words of General McAuliff and I said to myself, I have the greatest opportunity ever presented to someone, as Charlie just said, who's enlisted in the army of Hashem. Whichever direction I fire my weapon of no, I will not. I will vanquish the Satan. In the last generation before Messiah, we are facing a test that no generation in the history of mankind has ever faced. We are exposed to more impurity in one hour than our forefathers were exposed to in their entire lifetime. And it's everywhere. It's east, it's west, it's up, it's down, it's walking down the street, it's going to a wedding. It's on the billboards above. It's on the computer, on our desk. It's on our phones. It's in the mail and it's in the publications we read. We are surrounded. We have the greatest opportunity since the words Adam were uttered by our creator. Whichever way we turn, we have the opportunity to win. My wife is very close to Rabbits and Kra. She lives in Montreal. She is the sister of the great Rabbi Alava Shalom, Rabbi Azrael Talber. She told my wife a story a few weeks ago. It left an impression on me. Rabbi Talber went out of town and he found himself in a hotel room late at night exhausted and he remembered that he didn't learn the daff. So he took out his gum. He sat down on his bed and he started to learn and within a few minutes he fell asleep. He woke up the next morning dressed with the gam next to him and he was so devastated and he stood up and he said, "My great grandfather Sulfur could stay up a whole night with his feet in ice cold water to keep himself awake so he could learn hour after hour without interruption. and how weak am I that I can't even learn the da in a hotel room. At that moment, Rabbi Talber told his sister, he looked up and he saw the flat screen TV on the wall of the hotel and then he smiled and he said, "Yes, it's true. I cannot stay up a whole night and learn gumar, but I could do something theam sofur cannot do. I could spend a night with a flat screen TV in my hotel room and never once think to click the button and turn it on. This is the most difficult battle of any Jewish nation that has ever walked this earth. And the reason is because we can't win. There is no end game. It's every single day. It's two wins and three losses. It's three wins and two losses. But we never cross the finish line and say, "I won." As long as Hashem gives us the power of and as long as the world seeps deeper and deeper in immorality, it's going to just get worse. The problem is we make a mistake. We think we're here to win a war. We're not. We're here to battle and never to stop. I'm going to share with you the beautiful words of the Tanya. I think this Tanya gives me tremendous. I was just interviewed by a Kabad newspaper and they asked me in one of the questions they found out that I learned Tanya even though I'm not kabad. And they said, "What is the Tanya? your favorite. What's your favorite piece of Tanya? I say without a question, it's And you say that to anyone and they know which one you're talking about. And I'm going to read you the words of the Tanya. I'm going to translate his holy words. And he says, "Therefore, a person's heart should never sink. Your heart should never break. Even though even if you have to fight every single day 24 hours for the rest of your life, don't despair. It is highly possible. This is why you will you were created. This is your job to keep smashing the Satan. [Music] Doesn't create person who constantly is faced with the same test of we're not ash. If we want to look, we're not a rash. We are being faced with the same test. And Hashem looks and he sees how we just keep fighting to look away from what we're not supposed to be looking at. He says, "But we never ever completely eradicate that urge, that habit to look to look. This is forki. This is for these are people who won a war but the rest of us we don't get to win. We are here to fight. And listen to the words of the Hashem has two types of somebody who vanquishes the Satan once and for all. And the second one person who just keeps fighting and fighting and fighting with the as the is getting stronger and stronger. Instead of cowering in the corner and crying, "Mommy," he fights. He stands up like an eagle. An eagle will stand up to a lion even though it's this tall. It stands up with its full knight. It opens up its wings and it says, "I'm not afraid of you." This gives Hashem the greatest from the ones that are in the trenches every day. Means to We don't even appreciate that every single day that we don't give up. Every single day that we don't despair, that we don't say to ourselves, what's the point? Even if we win only once, even if we never win, but we try to win, that we're still engaged in the battle. is Hashem looking down and saying in 2025 I put my people into Mitsim in the 49th level of Tum Mah Manhattan Time Square the trains wherever you go and look they're still fighting that little thing we have no idea no idea the says that if Ruven would have known that his words and that his actions were being recorded by the story of Yoseph. He would have taken Yoseph out of the pit, he would have carried him on his shoulders back to Yakov. Bal Mus say what does that mean? Had he known that he would be so famous, he would have acted differently. Rued Bali Mus say no, not at all. The Bali Muslims say the biggest mistake a person could make is underappreciate the value of every single action. One day when Msiah comes they're going to roll out the migillah. It's going to call be called migillat galot America. And in that miguela, it's going to read, "On the 17th of July, 2025, Mosha Aban was walking down the street all alone and coming across to him was a sight that it was forbidden. And Moshe looked down at the floor. Nobody was watching him. Nobody was keeping score. Moshe did not finish us. Moshe did not save a child from a burning building. Moshe sacrificed purely because he loves Hashem purely because he's a Jew. And at that moment in all of the Malim got together and they sang Israel. It's a famous story from the great Rabbi Rabb which I bring down in the back of my book. It's an unbelievable story. Stories are very deep and mystical. This one other than the very deep mystical things that you can learn from it. There's something practical. The story is called the Sadik who fell into depression. It was once a big sadik who got depressed, found himself very heavy in bed, not even be able to move. And he tried he tried very hard to motivate himself and to think positive thoughts. He remembered that he learned Torah. And as soon as he remembered he learned Torah, he said, "Yeah, but what's my TRA worth? I just did it for I don't remember a lot of what I learned." And then he said, "But I did mitzvot." And then he says, "How many mitzvot did I do for the right reasons? How many of them did I did perfectly?" And he says, "But you did." He says, "Yes, I did, but I also hurt people and I also spoke." And every time he tried to climb out of this very, very dark place, he just found himself sinking deeper and deeper until he remembered. He remembered one thing. He remembered that Hashem created him a Jew. Remember Hashem created him a Jew. There's a famous story of the same story. And says because when a person tries to build on an action that they did, there's always going to be imperfection. But whatever Hashem does is perfect. Hashem created me a Jew. And he started thinking about the unbelievable difference between even a simple Eid and a And he started thinking more and more about the that he has as being a Jew. And slowly he climbed out of this very very deep depression. And he went higher and higher and higher. says he came all the way up to Shayim and he was amongst the highest angels and from a cabalistic sense. He left this and he was able to see with tremendous clarity how beautiful it is to be a Jew. And then says because nobody could stay at that place, he came down and he ascended back to earth and he landed exactly where he was says. But almost almost not exactly. He moved. He moved just to hear his breath. Just to hear his breath. Listen to what Ahmed says. Listen to what Amed says to us. We look at big big undertakings. Finish. I got I saved a child. These are big things and they're amazing. Believe me, they're amazing. But Ra says that the value of a hair moving one hair in this world is unbelievable. And he uses the mashal of a wheel. He says you take a wheel where it meets the center, right? the spoke meets the center, right? They're very, very clustered together. So, you take one line and you have the one next to it and you move one just slightly away from the other and then you go up, right? So, you take the outer part of the wheel. That same spoke that's only this distance at the core is this distance at the top. He says, "Now imagine you keep going with this spoke and you go up and up and up, thousands and thousands and thousands light years away." Could you imagine the distance between one of these spokes and the other? Says a person moves one hair's breath on this world and he has moved light years in the next world. And this is what the Satan does not want us to appreciate. How powerful every single action is to Hashem, to the world, to all the superal worlds above. He wants us to look down and minimize what we are and what we can achieve. Every day I try to remember like Rabbi Talber. I had a grandfather who was called the Rebel the No Melik. My grandfather never had this never in the town of Leansk. There was nothing to see. Even the was I had a grandfather Ramali of Rupitz. He was a sadik and he didn't have to battle every single day. And I am still getting up in the morning and hoping that I leave this world of bayoni. We should never despair. We should never give up. It's now such a gathering is such a that people are getting together getting together and they're saying we don't want this in this week's par there's something that says that I saw without question because knew I'm going to see at this podium's talking And the says this is where do we find the words? We find it by right. We have an is it possible? Is it possible that there isn't a mash in a person's house? In my house, it's possible my wife starts cleaning on Kaneka. But really, is it possible that there shouldn't be one of in a Jewish home? It's not possible. So, what does the Gar say? The gives us a remedy. It's called we say I want to have nothing to do with it says a person could do the same thing with and I said to my children from now on when I go out in the morning I'm going to say it I'm going to make it up and I'm going to send it out to everybody who wants to see it and it's going to say every single thing that I see today that is impure I don't want it I don't want to have anything to do with it this is what says means you can be it before you see it this has nothing to do with me. I'm going to add one last thing. I'm going to add the thing that got me thinking about my eyes. It got me thinking about my eyes. We never thought there's a humble evil movement out there. They called me the first time to do a lecture and I said, "What is that?" Of course, I heard about it. We spoke about in yeshiva but it was never in the forefront and they said no no we want you to speak when we want you to speak. So I said I need material I need material right and I want to share with you something that I saw which is scary but motivating. Puk says the eyes of Israel of Jacob were heavy with age. He couldn't see brings to him. He kisses them and he hugs them. Listen to the words of the sophorna. He says in order for a person to give to another person there has to be a soul connection. And he says that the most powerful connection from soul to soul is the power of sight. And the puk is telling us that wanted to use the power of sight. That was the best way to connect aim and to give them a braha. But he couldn't. He was blind. So he had to use the second best a hug and a kiss. Could you imagine? You walk down the street and you think, "Big deal. I walked." You know what happen? If you touch something that you were looking at, you get arrested, right? they they take you away. You'd be tried because in this physical world the power of touch the power of a kiss is much more powerful because we live in a world of we live in a world of materialism. But in the world of nish the greatest connection is the connection of sight. When you look somebody in the eyes, you are connecting to When you're looking at something, you are taking your and you're putting it on that thing. You're pulling your which came from the the purest of pure and you're running it into the mud of impurity. This is what I took from the Sephora. It's not okay to look where we want. We as Jews as appreciate the power of the shan, the power of sight, which is so unbelievable. And that was what motivated me to start thinking much more about what I was doing with my eyes. You should walk down the street as you're surrounded by this and you should sing to yourself. The last generation before Mashiach comes is going to be heralded. Mr. says that and it says in the medrash that looked to all the generations and then he came to us and he said there are Jews sitting in Elul instead of sitting at home and relaxing on a Sunday night because they're going to war tomorrow and they appreciate the value of winning. that we can fight every day and any which way we turn. We're going to kill the Satan. Never before did our forefathers since have such an opportunity to bring with something as simple as looking down of looking the other way. We don't have to fast for 40 days. We don't have to go through Gilgal shell like my grandfathers would roll in the ice and go to the mikvah in the Siberian tundras. We don't have to do any of that. We just have to turn and avert our eyes. And we should know that every time we do that the are singing in saying we should never ever ever fall trapped to the Satan. Never despair, never minimize our action, our actions. And Hashem, we will see the coming of Messiah and the removal of this great nion for all times. Amen. >> Thank you for your powerful remarks. Our next speaker is Raviak Nadell who we're here all here for for this amazing organization called GE Guard Your Eyes which we're going to hear about momentarily. After he speaks we're going to show a short video and then we're going to do the raffle. So it's our great great honor. Let's give a round of applause to Rael. [Applause] >> Thank you very much. Um, after these incredible remarks by Harley Harari and Rabbi uh, >> what's his name? >> Harowitz. Afali Haritz that I feel like there's nothing I could say that could inspire the uh, more than that. I'm I myself I'm so fired up by the incredible words of of inspiration that they shared with us tonight. Um I I'm not blessed with that kind of uh power of speaking also not but I did prepare a presentation uh about our organization which uh we started I started it 18 years ago and I actually spoke in this sh in the basement about eight years ago I think Rafael is Rafale here Rafael Yakob invited me to uh speak about eight years ago and he hasn't given up. He's bringing us back and making it bigger. He wants to get the word out. So, um, this organization is very unique because it helps tens of thousands of Jews around the world who are struggling with kadusha problems to get out of the mud. And um, like like Rabbi Horowit said before, it's the biggest fight is the feeling that I I already lost. I'm already a nobody. What's the use? I just love this ver I once saw in actually that when when Ysef had with she grabbed him by his what is beadim means it means rebelliousness she grabbed him by his rebelliousness she says you're anyway alone in mit you're anyway you're your brothers don't care about you you already fell you're low you're she grabbed him and said you're anyway rebellious. What did he do? He said he left the begged in her hands and ran out. He says, "Keep keep the rebelliousness. I'm I'm out of here. I could have been a rebel. I could have fallen. I don't care. Keep the rebelliousness. I right now I'm out." And that was the way he was saying. And that's the way we all have to be whenever we're approached with the itahara. You're anyway alola if you're anyway fell yesterday. You anyway looked where you shouldn't just 5 minutes ago. Keep the rebelliousness. Don't let the itar grab you beigo. Leave it in his hands and run out. And that's really the secret uh to succeeding in this battle. Um, so as he's getting ready the video, I'll just share that I believe that the tov that was the first mitzvah that gave is um and the failure of that mitzvah brought us into galut until today and we're awaiting the Msiah when that that will be fixed the tikun and I believe that now right before Msiah comes who brought back again the because as we all know the internet is really the sum total of all human knowledge especially now with AI it's like in incredible how all human knowledge is accessible in an instant to anyone um and that's really the but We don't have to talk about how much bad there is on the internet in the in the area of this but how much good there is also organizations like Torah anytime where you have millions of hours of of Torah um organizations like guard your eyes that are helping thousands of yidden to break free of the so much is on the internet for good and that's our job right before Msiah comes to fix the to choose the right and the good from the the tree of knowledge of the internet that's uh that we're facing today. So here's a small presentation about our organization. So um everybody should know what resources are available. I've never spoken to anyone in the world about this. I'm an olive. I have a wife and seven kids. I have a very hard time like how do I even reconcile myself like you know what's wrong with me like why can't I just just dump this forever you know this is nuts like what am I doing am I crazy >> every speech you go to to every internet internet internet I'm sorry to tell you that even after all these conventions uh the didn't retire after the conventions heard the conventions and he heard all the speeches and he said what do you think I'm going away I'm not going away anywhere >> 80% of American boys were n so somewhere along the with pornography, but I'm talking about in the world. I work with this day in day out. 80% of the issues are >> we have close to 200 of them running here every day. Most of them are, you know, they could very well be struggling with these. How could someone not be struggling? >> I don't know that there's ever been a more serious problem to claim than that which we have now. And the only weapon we have against it, the only one is guard your eyes. The GY mission is to help every Jew anywhere in the world who struggles with inappropriate content. We strive to provide the very best strategies and resources to every Jew who wants help for free and with full anonymity. And we have the enthusiastic encouragement and backing of Gdyl Rabonim and therapists from across the spectrum of our community. >> They're already reaching over 30,000 people. From what I see, there's a need for many, many more people to be reached. >> Right now, they're covering 30 plus thousand people that are in their program. I can't see that with less than 100 150,000, we're doing justice to this. >> A few years ago, it became clear to us that our current way of working couldn't keep up with the growing demand. The number of members reaching out to us kept on increasing and our manpower was stretched to the limits. We also knew that the approximately 5,000 members that we've been getting every year is only a fraction of those struggling with these issues and that we have a responsibility to advertise much more and reach them as well. But to make it possible to really help so many people, we needed to overhaul our platform and create what we're calling GE 2.0. In stage one, we wanted to improve the science behind guard your eyes. We spent over a year researching the entire body of literature on the topic of addiction and behavioral change. With the help of professional researchers and therapists, we reviewed and indexed over a 100 books and swarim as well as hundreds of scientific research studies. We created a full summary and outline, many hundreds of pages long, with the best evidence-based ideas and strategies to serve as the foundation for our intervention program and tools. The resources that we currently offer are literally the best in the world. Firstly, we have the Flight to Freedom program, which is a self-help program that we launched last year in both Hebrew and English after intensive research and over a million dollars in development. When users register to the site, they're given a personalized experience depending on their age, gender, and level of struggle. We identify their level of struggle by analyzing their responses to a short online assessment that they fill out. That's how we're able to recommend the GY resources that are best for them. Each user has a personalized dashboard which shows them how they're doing based on a range of scores that use algorithms to calculate their level of commitment and their overall performance. This way, even if they have a fall, they retain their motivation and don't feel like they're back to square one. They can see their overall progress and recognize patterns on their progress page. We offer a beautiful program with over 50 animated video modules that we licensed from the people who founded Fight the New Drug, the leading platform in the non-Jewish world with about 6 million followers. Their Fortify app has the highest ratings and hundreds of thousands of downloads. By licensing their content, we were able to ensure that our members have free and easy access to all the best materials in the world. We also have a large and vibrant community of members who support each other through the forums, partner program, and chat room. >> Times we as therapists know therapy is not enough to deal with these issues. There's simply not enough time, not enough energy, not enough resources, not enough connection. And Guard Your Eyes provides all of that. For the more extreme cases, Guard Your Eyes facilitates our members introduction to the 12step program. Today, over a third of Orthodox Jews in the SA 12step groups worldwide have come there through Guard Your Eyes. In short, by bringing the very best resources available in the world, all together under one roof, we're giving our members the highest chance of success. Our goal is to help every Jew struggles. The support pages on our website are customdesigned for each demographic so that men, women, teens, and spouses all have different pages with their own unique support options. When a teen signs up to Guard Your Eyes, they are guided to the Fortify materials, which were designed with teens in mind. We believe it's very important to help our teens before the problem spirals out of control. That's why we recently published a book together with Dr. Schllayy Zimmerman called from boys to men with a forward by Aaron Feldmanita which guides Mhanim and parents on how to help teens with the challenges they face in the area of kaduca. Ge has also saved countless marriages as a result of the support and resources that we offer to the wives of men who struggle. We're also offering our site in multiple languages so that nothing stands in the way of anyone looking for help. Our Hebrew website, which was recently overhauled from A to Z, makes up almost half our membership. The Yiddish site is third in size as far as the number of members. The platform is growing fast thanks to a small team led by dedicated Yiddish-speaking business professionals who are working as volunteers to take our Yiddish website to the next level. We also plan to offer our programs in Spanish in the coming year as hashem with more languages to follow. The bottom line is that every Jew will be able to get help on guard your eyes at all levels of the struggle irrespective of age, gender, and the language they speak. All this advanced science and new technology will hopefully triple or even quadruple our success rates and enable us to roll this out in a massive way by increasing our advertising, networking with schools, yeshivists, and communities. Our goal, the Ezus Hashem, is to measurably help 100,000 users in the coming few years at all levels of this struggle. >> What you're doing here is not to be believed. I'm shocked by two things. first by the broad spectrum of things that you're offering by the level of professionalism and another cool which I'm shocked by is the level of detail of resolution that you've gone down for. >> Now I have a whole new appreciation of the professionalism of the dedication the wonderful tools and resources informed by the most sophisticated neuroscience. >> The Akos is off the charts. The commerce is off the charts. The variety of what you're offering is off the charts. the details, the professionalism, the graphics. I could take say hello now for 10 days. You're shocking me. >> This is the problem of our time and this is the answer. >> They need to go to the next level >> and in order to get to the next level, they need a lot of financial support. This will be the solo. >> I can't think of a bigger rabbit for a person to buy. whatever you can help this organization would be a for >> co I heard a thousand coles I heard of a thousand yeshivas and I heard of a thousand you know uh camps for kids but I only heard of one organization that's dealing with internet filth addiction and it's ge >> every generation Hashem has sent down someone to save Yiddish guys such as we saw in of it in this generation. I know of no other force that has been as great in saving families as guard your eyes. >> I've spoken to a lot of great rabbis and they told me at the end of time this is where this is where the fight's going to be. It's going to be in Kusha. They are definitely messages from the creator to help this generation. >> I'm in play codish myself. I'm above myself. All right. You have saved my soul. I am telling you, you have saved my soul. >> I can't tell you enough the difference that you've made in my life. I feel like this is what real children mean. You know how much of that I feel to you guys. And I know there's all different people from all different walks of life, all different places. And you literally [Music] Thank you very much. Um just before we end I just wanted to share with everybody the idea behind this uh flyer that we printed special for this um event. Um today barashmal is has thousands of shs and institutions and there's hundreds of curb organizations and thousands of organizations and tens of thousands of and yeshivas and kulim is this beautiful building of so much good the area of is known by kazal as is the foundation it's the part of us that's underground that nobody sees But it really is what holds up the spiritual structure of a person. And it really is what holds up the spiritual structure of Kali. And today because of the tremendousness that we face with the phones and with the computers and in the streets, the entire foundation of AmI is shaky. And it's if we don't have a strong foundation, we're in trouble. And as Rael Mansul said, there are thousands of all types of beautiful organizations, but there's only one that's actually covering all the areas of Kusha. And I just wanted to if we turn it around the other side just shows a little bit of the uh the range and the spectrum of what we're covering. The guard your eyes English division. There's the Hebrew website which has also about 10,000 members. The Yiddish website, the Spanish website. Then we have a special division for teens who are struggling. We have the women's division for women who are struggling. Believe it or not, one out of five of our members are women. um the spouse's division for when a a woman finds out her husband is struggling. It shakes up the marriage. It's very traumatic. We've saved hundreds of marriages by giving the women the support and guidance that they need. The ESAI program, I wish I had time to show a little presentation about that. We had 1,500 boys during shavim on a 50-day program and we took them to the American dream mall. We did raffles. It was really beautiful. For 50 days, they worked on kadusha. Um, then we have the 50 videos of Fortify that we discovered, the leading platform in the non-Jewish world. We work also with Tag. Anyone who needs a filter and can't afford it can sign up on our website and we have actually a sponsor that helps subsidize the filters. So, we're working handinhand with TAG and we're working with Voay. We're sending out their daily videos to all our members. For about five years, I was sending out clips myself to all our members. And then when Vine started about two years ago, I said, "Wow, these guys are great. We're sending out now their videos."
