Uh thank you
the hostess Mrs. for having us
give you only
from all your children.
Dance by your grandchildren's weddings
>> and only health.
>> These events are very important a person
can underestimate how how much of a
difference it makes in shamim, how much
a difference it makes to Hashem when
people get together on a random night
during the winter. Everyone is busy.
Everyone is working. They have families.
Everyone is busy. But to show up after a
long day to come listen to it's not
something to be underestimated.
It makes a very big difference to
Hashem. So all the people that showed up
tonight, Hashem should give all you only
and only help.
>> We're really here to speak about and at
the end of the event, don't run away.
We're going to be giving out for free
books about the laws of
and anybody who's ready to take it upon
themselves to finish the book at least
once we'll get a free copy.
I think we don't have enough to give out
tonight, but just in case we don't have
enough, Robi from Kazak over here made a
piece of paper that you can write your
name and your address and the book will
be shipped to your house for free if
you're ready to learn the safer every
single day. So that's what we're going
to be discussing today. But before that,
since we're in the Kaneka spirit, I'll
say one thing about Kanuka.
Kanuka
is the holiday of a very, very important
theme. What's the message of Kanuka? We
celebrate it year after year after year.
But how do we make Kaneka practical? How
can we bring it home and grow from it?
What is the message of Kanuka?
One of the messages is abai is the power
of courage which means all of us every
single day have opportunities to show
our love to show our love to Hashem.
Hashem sometimes puts a person in a
situation
where in one hand they know the right
thing is to do X Y and Z and the wrong
thing is not to do something but they
yet will try to convince them to do the
wrong thing. A person, a Jew that
overcomes the temptation and does the
right thing and follows the Torah at
that moment and listens to Hashem
prove their courage and their loyalty to
Hashem and that brought love and
and we see that from Kaneka on Kaneka
the Greeks theim did not kill us. They
were not.
They didn't kill us physically.
Theim, the Greeks were actually very
intelligent,
smart, wealthy, strong, good at sports,
good at art, good at music, good at
universities. They had everything they
need. They did not tell the Jewish
people, "We'll kill you." The opposite.
They said, "We want you to live. We want
you to be healthy. be strong just like
us. But we're asking for one thing.
Change your loyalty. Stop serving
Hashem. Don't follow the Torah.
And unfortunately, theimm, the Greeks at
the time succeeded.
A big part of the Jewish nation left the
path of Torah. They succeeded. And I'll
give you one example of what they did.
The midrash brings down the tell us they
wanted to influence the youth not to
serve Hashem.
So what did the Greeks do?
They built a massive gladiator stadium
in Jerusalem in Jerusalem
and all Jews were free of charge. So
what's going to happen when you have a
massive stadium,
free entertainment, all Jews are free.
We know that the youth is gonna run and
they're gonna have a good time there.
And that's what happened. The youth ran
to the stadium and of course it was free
of charge, but like the old saying goes,
when someone tells you something is
free, it's the most expensive item. It's
going to comes with a catch with a
catch. All the youth went to the stadium
and the Greeks
theim, the enemy, they sent in so much
immodesty for the boys there with the
girls and they influenced him to do
very, very bad things. And year after
year this kept on going. Eventually the
youth left the path of Torah. There was
one small and by the way we learned from
this that you can have a person that
follows to mitzvot. You can have parents
that pay so much money for tuition for
Jewish education for kosher food that
pay so much money which is unbelievable.
It's a very big mitzvah.
But if they're going to have
a computer in the house with open
internet and you think your youth kids
are not going and they're being
influenced, it's a big mistake. And we
learned that from the Greeks. The Greeks
everything was free. Everything was
kosher. The food was kosher, but the
influence wasn't kosher and that damaged
everything. So a person has to be
careful. Watch over your house. You can
have everything perfect, muza, sidim,
which is all very good, but you got to
watch the youth. You got to be careful
who they hang around with. You have to
be careful what's on their phones, who
are their friends, what are their
watching. These things can really, God
forbid, shalom, influence the youth the
wrong way. That's lesson number one we
learned from Kanuka.
Unfortunately, like we said, a big part
of the Jewish nation left the path of
Torah, stood up. One small group of
Jewish people named the Kashwanim. Who
were the Kashwan? We always hear about
them. The Makabites, the Makabes, the
Who were they? What was their message?
What do we learn from the How do we
bring it home to our generation 2025?
The answer is the Kashwanim
fought the whole culture including the
Jewish people in the generation. Even
the Jewish people in the generation told
the Kashwanim, "Stop being so religious.
Get with the times. Enough. Get with the
culture.
Join us and join the Greeks. Things are
changing. Things are moving fast. Give
up on Shabbat. Give up onesh.
give up unmits, uncosher, untaught, just
move on already. Why are you guys making
us look bad?
And even at that time, the Jews against
the were saying that the
them not going along with the culture of
the Greeks are actually causing
anti-semitism.
They were pointing fingers at the
because of you the Greeks hate us
because they really believed
unfortunately that if we're just going
to copy the goim everything is going to
be fine. But we know that's not so. We
know the more the yudim are loyal to
Hashem the less anti-semitism will be.
But the more unfortunately a person
falls prey to the culture around us it
could get if anything more dangerous and
more dangerous. So the Kashim stood up
and they fought everyone. Can you
imagine? Put yourself in their shoes for
a second. Everyone is against you. The
whole Greek nation, Europe, and even
people from your own family are against
you. But the said, "We are here to serve
Hashem. We don't ask questions. We're
not going to bend the rules. We're here
to serve and follow the Torah. And if it
means it needs more courage, we're going
to have more courage." And what
happened? What's the end of the story?
The Kashim won the battle. They beat the
Greeks. We took over Jerusalem. We took
over the beta mikdash. And the Kashwan
themselves became the rulers and the
kings of the whole Israel for many years
to come. That's why we celebrate Kaneka.
The reason why we celebrate Kaneka is
that message that theim brought to the
future generations. Courage. Courage.
Courage. Do not let the culture
influence you. If it's the right thing
to do to serve Hashem, nobody can stop
you. The Kashim taught us it's important
to be loyal to Hashem. And I want to
share with you a story that I just read
over Shabbat. This story inspired me so
much, so muchiz. And I tried verifying
from the chief rabbi of Russia. I think
his name is Reblazer. I think the last
name is Laser. Famous. He's a famous
figure. Chief Rabbi of Russia. and he
said over the story and I tried sending
him a message. Maybe eventually he'll
get to me. I'm sure he's very very very
busy. But the story is a powerful story.
There was a girl in 2017 who lived in
Russia, a Jewish girl. And I wrote down
her name,
Ireina Dalefki. If I'm saying it right,
it's hard for me to say it. I'm sorry.
It's a Russian name. Irena Dalefki.
in Russia 2017
for seven years. She was in college in
Russia trying to become a nurse, a
doctor, one of those.
Now, for some reason, Russia, the
country has a law that when you graduate
college
and you're supposed to get your diploma,
there's one day to come pick up your
diploma by the ceremony.
If you don't show up on the day of the
ceremony to get the diploma, you missed
it. and there's a very big chance you're
not getting it and you have to redo the
whole system again. That's one of the
laws in Russia. Not surprising.
So this arena Irana,
she was looking forward to get a
diploma.
She started getting closer and closer to
Hashem. It was during that time in 2017,
she started becoming more and more
religious, more observant from the chief
fabric of Russia's influence, Reblazer.
Rebeler,
she looks at the calendar the day of the
ceremony that they're going to give at
her diploma after seven years of
college. Oh my gosh, that's a lot of
work. Seven years of college. She looks
at it. Not Shabbat. Close though. Very
close. It was the holiday of Shàuot
doing me time.
And she knows that the rabbi taught her
holiday is a holiday. Can't just drive,
go on your phone, sign papers. You
can't. And she started becoming more and
more observant. She was growing. What
does she do now? And if she doesn't show
up, what do you do? She calls up the
rabbi. The rabbi is thinking and he's
thinking and he tells her, "I have an
idea. Why don't you rent a hotel room
near where the ceremony is going to be
and then go to the place where they can
give her the diploma, take the diploma
in your hand, but don't leave the
building until after Shabbat because you
can't walk outside the building with
something carrying in your hand on the
holiday, whatever it is over there. Make
sure you're in the building the hole the
whole time. She tells him, "Rabbi,
that's a problem. Why? Because you don't
just pick up a paper and leave. It's at
a pizza store. You have to sign. You
have to show your document. There's this
a whole ceremony. He's thinking and he's
thinking. And for those who know the
chief of Russia, and I'm a big fan of
him, he's a very, very caring Jew. Very.
He has a huge heart."
He told her, "Unfortunately,
I don't see a way out of this. I I don't
know what to tell you.
there's no that will permit you now to
go take a diploma if it means you have
to sign papers because you can't write
on a holiday you just can't do that
and the conversation ended
try to put yourself in her shoes in this
Mrs. the Zilifki shoes. I don't know
what I would do. That's a very hardness.
She had her own mini Khaneka holiday to
overcome just like the Kashwanim. She
needed courage. That takes a lot of
courage and loyalty to Hashem not to
pick up your diploma. But that's what
she did. She canceled. She did not pick
up her diploma. That's a big deal.
That's a big deal. That's loyalty and
that's courage to Hashem. Just like the
Kashwanim, she fought for the right
thing
comes Kaneka that year. Now in Russia,
the chief rabbi makes a huge Kaneka
party like this over here. Beautiful
Kaneka party. But the difference is he
makes it in the Kremlin where the where
Putin is in Russia, the capital.
>> Kremlin, what's it called?
>> Kremlin.
>> Kremlin. Okay. Sorry. I'm not I'm born
in Israel.
So he makes a party over there very
respectful. Now this is 2017. This is
before the whole war broke out between
Putin and Ukraine. And I know it's a
very touchy thing, very touchy subject
because he's killing people left and
right. But let's try to rewind a little
bit. 2017,
the chief rabbi makes a party in the
capital of Russia. And in his speech of
the party, the chief rabbi mentions this
girl, the Shaliffski and Dalefki. And he
says, "Look at this girl. SHE GAVE UP
HER DIPLOMA JUST NOT TO BREAK THE
HOLIDAY, NOT TO BRING YAMTO. That's
courage. That's
in the middle of his speech." And it
never happened before. As he's speaking
in the capital of Russia,
surprise visit by the president Putin
himself. Can you imagine that? That's
pretty intimidating. Imagine Putin walks
in. I don't know what I would do. Walks
right in and the chief rabbi obviously
stopped his speech. He obviously greeted
the president, make sure he sat down,
respected him, and then the president
told him, continue green light. So he
told him, "Mr. President, with your
permission, I'm going to rewind and
start the beginning of the speech what
we're talking about." And he said over
the whole story of Kaneka how people
always tried getting the Jews but the
Jews fought back. They were loyal. And
then he said the story with this Russian
girl, this ellipski.
Then the ceremony ended ended.
The chief rapper is driving back home
after the ceremony of the Kaneka party.
He gets a phone call. Who's on the
phone? Can you imagine who's on the
phone?
>> Putin himself.
>> Imagine Putin calls you.
>> [laughter]
>> It's pretty scary and funny also. Putin
calls you. Yes. Mr. President in
Russian. How do you say Mr. President in
Russian, guys?
>> President. Mr. President.
>> You're good.
>> Yeah, I'm pretty good. Thank you. I
sounded more like French. I don't know
what that was. [laughter]
He tells him, "Rabbi, what's that girl's
name that you mentioned by your speech?
Can you give me her full name and date
of birth?" He says, "Date of birth, I
don't know." But he gave him the full
name.
Putin tells the chief rabbi,
"I was so touched by this girl's
courage. I'll take care of it." And when
Putin says, "I'll take care of it."
>> He's taking care of it.
>> He calls up the minister of education of
Russia.
This girl gets a call, whatever it is,
sometimes later [clears throat]
that you have a diploma,
but you have to come to the Carmelan to
pick it up. Who gives her the diploma in
her hand?
>> Putin.
>> Putin himself.
>> And she became one of the only people in
history that President Putin himself
gave the diploma to them at such a young
age.
>> What a story. Round of applause for such
a story like that. Round of applause.
[applause]
This girl had courage. WHAT'S THE WORD?
LOYALTY. Courage to Hashem.
Unbelievable. So inspiring. And look how
much she changed the world. Look at the
kushim she made that even an evil guy
like that that's murdering people this
Putin guy still got inspired and said
wow that's that's loyalty to your god
over there I want to give you a diploma
that's a tremendous story and that's the
lesson we learn from kanuka what we
learn from kanuka is loyalty to hashem
likeashim
we have to fight for hashem we can't
give in we have to do the right thing in
every person on a smaller scale in their
life everyone Everyone has challenges
every day. Everyone has challenges to
show their loyalty to Hashem. No two
people are the same when it comes to the
when it comes to the challenges and pain
they're going through. Every person
Hashem handpicks for them custommade
exactly what they need in their life in
order to prove their loyalty to no two
people have the same test. Every person
is special and and Hashem has a plan for
them in this world to show their
to show their loyalty
and prove their courage to Hashem.
That's the lesson we learned from
Kanuka. Now we're going to get back to I
just said that for the Kaneka spirit
beautiful party. Now back to
every letter of the Torah. How long am I
speaking for? Does anyone know?
>> The night is young.
Okay, 20 more minutes. Okay, so please
remind me and you like someone to raise
their hand and say
every letter of the Torah
is calculated by Hashem. Who wrote the
Torah? God himself. And every letter is
calculated by Hashem.
Every word which is a few letters
carries a lot of weight. Every puk,
every sentence, every verse carries even
more weight. And yeshiva
when we learn gimmar when we learn the
Talmud sometimes we spend weeks and
weeks on the gim trying to understand
one verse in the Torah. What did Hashem
mean when he wrote this puk? Why do he
write it this way? Why didn't he write
it the other way? What did he mean by
this word by that letter? Everything has
a meaning. The Torah is very deep which
is why Jews are never bored because
there's always what to learn. Tawa is
very deep.
comes
comes the topic of not speaking negative
about another person behind their back.
Hashem doesn't spend just one letter on
that topic in the Torah. Not just one
word,
not just one verse, one puk.
Hashem spends around 25 verses in the
Torah speaking about the danger of lash.
Think about this. Not one puk,
not twoim
25.
Hashem spends 25 pesukim in the holy
Torah to warn us against
not speaking.
What does that tell us?
tells us how severe how serious that
topic is.
And I always say mash, imagine you're
driving down the block, should never
happen, but imagine you see one cop car
with the lights, red and blue lights.
Okay, you say big deal. Cop is bored.
Nothing happened. But if you see two,
three cop cars, you're like, oo, what's
going on over here? Now imagine it's not
two, three cop cars. Imagine the whole
block is blocked. You tell yourself,
"Oh, wow. What happened here? This is
serious." If there are so many cop cars,
if you can't go down the block,
something [clears throat] must have
happened.
Then imagine it's even more severe.
Helicopters are flying over. Dog dogs
are sniffing. SWAT teams are all over
the place. You tell, WHOA,
what's going on over here? Something
really, really, really bad happened.
Something really dangerous is going on.
The more lights, the more cops, the more
security, the more serious a situation
is in that spot.
The Torah doesn't just spend one word
about staying away from
not just one verse or two verses. 25
verses in the Torah where Hashem tells
us be careful from
be careful. What does that tell us? how
dangerous and serious
is. When a person unfortunately speaks
it can stop shalom it can stop the pipe
of of blessing coming from sham on that
person that's brought down in the
when a person is looking for says the
one of the first things they should do
is make sure how they talk about one
another because the pauses the the the
pouring
blessing coming from Shai. I actually
just had a story that happened a couple
of months ago and I said it many times
but I'll share it over here with the
crowd because everyone is listening so
nicely. I have to share with you a good
story about a person who stood stayed
away from the so I live in liquid and I
learned the yeshiva they're called
betrasha
it's the biggest yeshiva in America
outside of Israel it's the biggest
yeshiva outside of Israel actually
outside of it's called BMG in that
yeshiva there's approximately 15,000
students so I was walking in there one
day I had off for my job in the morning
I'm a rabbi in Brooklyn so I had off and
I went to learn as I'm going up the
stairs.
What are the chances? Some guy bumps
into me. I never met him in my life.
Somebody from Great Neck moved to
Lakewood and tells me, "Oh, you're Jaku
Rahimi from Torren." I said, "Yes." He's
like, "Thank you so much for your
lectures." Me and Mo started learning
together, but then we stopped. Can we
exchange numbers? I said, "No problem."
We exchanged numbers and that was it.
A few weeks later, one day I kept
getting missed phone calls. Another one.
Another one. Please call me. Please call
me. Okay, who is this? I call back at
night. It's that fellow that I met from
Great Neck.
He learns at Kella all day in Lakewood.
He calls me up. He tells me, "Rabbi, I
know you always talk about
a story like mine you never heard." I
was like, "Okay, let me hear the story."
And he says, "Please advertise the
story."
What happened was this guy and his wife
just got married and the wife supports
her husband who learns all day in KL.
She's the one that brings in the money
and he learns all day in Kell.
Unfortunately, she got fired from her
job.
Now, if you don't have a job and you're
the one supporting, we we should never
go through it, but we all know how
pressuring that is. She's applying for
she was a teacher, so she got fired from
the school. She applied for another
school. Another school, everyone told
her, "No, it's too much. We don't have
any room." One school even told her, "We
have more teachers applying the
students, so it's not going to work."
That's the detail that he told me. Not
only that,
at the time, I'm sure by now Hashem, she
had the baby, but at the time when he
said the story, his wife was expecting
for the first child. And because she was
fired from the school, she was off
insurance. And that's very pressuring.
off insurance while she's expecting a
child. It's not easy. And he told me he
really didn't know how he's going to pay
the bills in the next month. Very very
pressing time. And that happened when he
met me by the stairs of Yeshiva.
Then he remembered
what the says a person who stays away
from a person that control their mouth
not to speak negative of another person
will see will see blessings in their
life especially in
see went to the Judeica store and he
bought himself a book in English and him
and his wife started learning it every
single day and he said that it really
really helped them to stay away from
now listen to this. This is a story that
happened in Lakewood.
He tells me for two weeks that was the
time two weeks him and his wife are
learning it every single night
consistently. No. And he said it wasn't
easy. He had opportunity to say he
controlled himself. No.
two weeks of learning it,
his wife gets a phone call from the head
secretary of one of the schools and she
tells her, "You came in for an
interview, we want to re-evaluate."
The owner of the school, the principal,
not the owner, wants to meet you. She
goes that day. She meets the principal.
She leaves after meeting the principal.
He didn't tell her for sure yes, but he
did not tell her no. And the secretary
told her, "If he didn't tell you no, I
know him. If he did not say no, that
means you're getting hired and that's
what happened. She got that job. That
means two weeks of learning
staying away from she got a job.
Miracle number two. He goes to his
mailbox. He tells me in his liquid
house. He opens up the mailbox. He takes
out an envelope. Who does he have mail
from? The US Treasury of United States
of America. He opens up the envelope. a
few thousand dollars because of tax
returns that the American government
messed up by co
[clears throat] can you imagine no money
to pay the bill the next month he learns
for two weeks stays away from
boom Donald Trump sends him a check a
few thousand just like that out of
nowhere out of nowhere
he says he opens up his laptop he goes
in his Gmail account and he sees that he
has an email from an organizational he
could called LRRC. It's an organization
that helps people
get on insurance and different programs.
He sees the email. What does it say?
Mazatov, we were able to get your wife
on insurance.
All in one day.
>> Three Yeshua pan a check his wife back
in insurance all in one day. after
learning for two weeks straight no
look and blessing you're brought to him
or how this woman from Bar Park 47 years
old still didn't get married 47
Barashim she got engaged and she got
married what was the story her family
decided 15 people one five 15 family
members of hers decided we're taking
action we got to marry her off we're
taking action What does action mean?
What does it mean to take action? No
more but seriously no more.
They all started learning the
family also made a schedule that every
two hours in the day one family member
no matter what will speak no at all. So
let's say you have 15 people in the
family. You take two hours of the day.
You take you take from 2 to 4. You take
from 4 to 6. You from 6:00 to 8. And
your job those two hours is no matter
what, no matter how hard it is, no lash
and that will bring to our relative.
Day 41 of them doing this. Day 41 she
got engaged at 47 years old. She's
actually a famous teacher in bar park.
Now she's married.
Or how about my sister? It's a story
that happened to me. My sister and her
friend were trying to get married to
find her.
We had an event in my mother's house
like this about talking about staying
away from
and my sister at her event and her
friend, her best friend took upon
themselves to start learning together
partners
and they learned it together over and
over and over again.
Now they're both married. This happened
this year, a little bit almost close to
a year by now. Barash, they're both
married. But listen to this. My sister
and her best friend who learned it
together are both married and they both
married brothers. She married my sister
married one brother and her friend
married the other brother.
>> Wow.
>> Look how much of difference these things
make. A person who learns
a person who stays away from will bring
blessings and blessings to their life.
Now, why is it that it makes such a
difference to Hashem if we stay away
from the why? Why does it make such a
difference? So, the says something very
simple. And I could tell you this as a
rebi in a school and you're trying to
run a classroom and kids get in trouble.
They could get annoying. We love them,
but they can get annoying.
So you try to discipline them,
give them extra worksheets, maybe kick
them out of class, talk to them, but
sometimes it doesn't help. So you have
to call a parent.
And usually you speak to the mother.
That's just the way it works. So I call
up the mother, tell listen, your son is
good. He has a lot of potential. We love
him. Blah blah blah. Yes. And I really
mean it. However, X, Y, and Z, you're
he's not behaving.
No matter how much the mother knows I'm
right, and I see this in PTA also. No
matter how much the parents know I'm
right, I can tell by their faces when I
talk about their son, it hurts them.
They really get hurt. And I'm like that
with my kids, too. Even if my kid does
trouble, he's always right. Why? Because
I love him. I love my daughter. I love
my son. Just a reality of love. It's the
way it works. Love blinds.
Hashem, God loves, and I know we heard
this many times in our lives, but think
about this. Hashem really loves every
single Jew. Love that we can never
comprehend.
Love beyond the concept of love in this
world. We can't even fathom how much
love.
He actually loves us more than we love
ourselves.
So when someone speaks by another Jew,
even if it's true, by the way, even if
it's needed where you're allowed to do
it, it still hurts Hashem. Why? Because
Hashem loves that Jew that he's speaking
about just like a parent, it pinches
them. It hurts them because they love
their child. So to when people are
fighting, people are talking negative
about each other,
it's not worth it. You know why it's not
worth it? Because it hurts. It hurts our
father and Hashem loves us. Is it worth
the hurt? Is it worth to hurt his
feelings? So says the
You know why Hashem cares about so much?
Because Hashem loves every single Jew so
much. There's a story with the Baltov
that there was a person in his town that
didn't have a child for many years. A
wealthy individual. Him and his wife
didn't have a child for many years. And
when he was a little older, he finally
had a child. And the Balshant and his
students were over his house for a
kdouch on Shabbat.
And everyone watched how this older
gentleman was playing like a little kid
with his new child.
Know you can have an adult that's 50, 60
years old, but when he's holding a baby,
he goes de became a child right away. So
the Bunt said, "Look at this. The guy is
an older gentleman, big businessman,
wealthy guy, respectful guy. But look
how he plays with his child. Why?
Because it's his only child. And he
finally had a baby. He loves him. It's
his only child after so many years. Of
course, he's going to giggle with the
baby. Look at the joy on the father's
face.
Says the Bal Shamto. And it's an
unbelievable lesson.
Every single Jew call Yehud v Yehudi. No
matter where they're from, what happened
in the past, how old they are, what
they're doing, where they live,
call you. Every single Jew is an only
child to Hashem.
And only child that Hashem loves and
cherishes so much. So it says about
if Hashem loves every single Jew that
much
who has the
to speak so freely about other Jews like
that it hurts Hashem so much he loves so
much. How can you just speak?
Now we know why damages so much because
it hits the nerve [snorts]
really loves his people. He loves us. He
really does. And when one speaks, Hashem
gets hurt. That's why Hashem cannot
stand. So when one stays away from
speaking negative, they will bring
blessings. They will bring to their
life. So we learned we learned a lot
today in my opinion. A lot of lessons. I
wish I would practice even one of them.
But we learned how damaging is. We
learned how every letter of the Torah
makes such a difference. Every word,
every verse. And over here, Hashem
spends 25 pesim to stay away from. We
learned about people that had tremendous
miracles. I'll tell you one more story
and then I'm going to end up with this
because I think that was 20 minutes,
right? I don't want to go overboard.
Okay. I'll end up with this story.
There was a lady that called up.
He's a Rebi in Lakewood who has all
these stories of salvation of those who
stay away from
he's on Torah anytime if you want to
look at his lectures. Currently he has
over 1,200 stories of people that he
knows personally that started learning
the bookim and they saw tremendous
salvation tremendous Yeshua over,200
stories and it keeps on growing.
See he just told me that there was a
lady from the west coast that called him
up and she heard his stories on Torah
anytime and she decided that she's going
to take it seriously and she's really
going to start
what happened. this woman from the west
coast, it's her and five sisters and
they have five adults all married and
they all have children that are already
growing up and they all have daughters
in shidim but none of them are getting
dates which means you have five mothers
with daughters siblings all the five
mothers are siblings with their
daughters nobody's getting they're not
they're far just not moving
so this woman told her
she ordered books from arts.coms
and all her sisters every single day on
the phone. They have a conference call
and they learn one page a day of the
consistently and every wife, every one
of the sisters had to learn with their
husband as well. They did this for a
couple of months. She said four months
later,
one of the sister's daughters got
engaged. Around a month and a half
later, another one got engaged and the
story goes on. You already know what the
end of the story is. This is what
happened this year. Now, this is not
surprising because I hear this all day,
all day from Minashian. People are
sending me emails left. I just had a guy
that was about to lose a lot of money
and he felt he's and he emailed me that
he's about to lose a lot of money but he
heard the lectures of staying away from
brings he took upon himself to sponsor
500 books of to spread the Torah of not
speaking. That's what he took upon
himself and he said that as soon as he
made that button on the phone to pay
with the credit card he got an email
that everything went smooth and what he
thought he's going to lose money ends
being he made more money. I get these
emails all the time. Different people
got into yeshivot. People got into
school sooness.
There was just two friends in Lakewood.
Two women who just told us a story. They
were both looking to purchase homes in
Lakewood because they couldn't rent
anymore. We're just going up. It makes
no sense. So they had to purchase a
house. But everything is very expensive.
So what did they do? They started
learning together. Within five months
they both purchase houses in Lakewood.
So this should be like an advertiser for
all the real estate agents. By the way,
if you want to sell houses, give
But the list goes on and on and on.
We're actually about to put out a bookm
It's called, and you guys are the first
ones to know about it. Breaking news.
This show over here, it's called the
quiet victory. It's a collection of all
the stories that are coming in the last
two three years because we decided we
have to spread this as much as possible.
It's such a unbelievable thing. Look
what happens when stays from the
miracles are happening left and right.
So this book is going to come out soon.
But my point is
I'm sure [clears throat] every person
here already stays away from but it's
important to learn the book. It makes a
huge difference on you the husbands and
the wives on children on
on it makes the world a better place. It
makes Hashem happy. Learn the safer
every single day. It will change your
life only for the good. No person after
120 when they're about to leave this
world will say I I shouldn't have
learned. No one's gonna regret it. It's
only a good move to do to start learning
now when a person is alive in this world
and stay away from as much as possible.
So two last announce two last
announcements.
Anybody who wants the book for free over
here as long as you take it upon
yourself but I don't think there's
enough. So just write your name and
address. The book will be shipped to
your house for free if you're ready to
finish the book at least once. Announcer
