we're uh back on Wednesday night sh
stump the
rabbi tonight sh will be
for Rafael
Ben Ben
Abraham D
Mercedes Esther
Bora sah B
David and all
of
goof
so here we are we have a um this week's
par starts off
starts off with some very uh
interesting laws of
theen
where specifies to
Bon the sons of Aon not just the sons of
Aon at the
time but the sons of Aon until this
day that they are different than the
rest of they have different
rules now before theim with
theim the position of priesthood was
given to the first
born firstborn kids but that was taken
away and given to
theim say that when the mashia
comes the firstborn will also get
special uh roles will always have it
also
anden will be
theen but uh nonetheless the special
position of
theim makes them
different when we
do and they
have the which will come back soon
the
um first alah goes to the
Quin then the Le then is who's isra the
rest of Cl
is so it's very pertinent that a Jew
know that if he's a Kan he's
different he's got different
rules now some people have a problem
with
this you know they want Unity because of
their liberal
mentality you know they uh they want
it's not
fair I particularly find it interesting
that many converts have a problem that
they can't marry
kohanim like as if they ran out of
people in the world and there's no other
Jews they only want to marry the quen
they don't even know quen but they want
to marry quen
whyu stolen water are sweeter what they
don't what they can't have that's what
they want
but that's only pertaining to a woman
cannot marry a uh Coen a guy can marry a
that's a convert can marry a coin a
woman that's a
coin um but a as far as a girl cannot
marry that's a convert cannot marry a
Coen but also others other
types if she's a uh divor if she's a uh
Widow special rules
now one of the things that it says
here in uh chapter
21 beginning of the
par and verse 7
217 it says
they shall not marry a woman who is a
harlot or who has desecrated who has
been desecrated and they shall not marry
a woman who has been divorced by her
husband for each one is holy to his
God so
tells tellim tell
everyone
if this woman is is a harlot she's been
desecrated she's not allowed to marry
Cohen she did Chua good for you you can
marry somebody
else now just because you were a harlot
doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad
person if you
did
says Where do we learn this
from raav was not only a top
Harlot but also she was one of the most
beautiful women in the world and she was
a but because she
did not only welcomed her into is but
she
married
yeshu so sometimes guys say oh listen
Rabbi you know I want to marry someone
and uh but I want to make sure she's a
virgin I make sure she's a virgin are
you a virgin no but you know Rabbi you
know I don't want to know make sure oh
so you're better than Yeshua
you're better than Yeshua
benon go go fly kite
go go go with your arrogance you and
your arrogance leave my health two of
you both of you leave don't leave the
arrogance here and you go right people
want to judge other
people they don't want to judge
themselves the guy has been with a
football team and he but he wants his a
uh his wife to be a newborn baby doesn't
mean that you look for this and look for
that of course is an extraordinary value
that if a woman has never been
desecrated never been touched and so on
and so forth but you don't judge them
based on
that but that doesn't mean that everyone
should just uh do whatever they want why
because of what I'm about to tell you
I'm about to tell you it's probably
going to hit some
nerves what does this really
say says if a woman's a
prostitute woman is a harlot woman is z
not let to be with a coin if she
was divorced not let to be a
coin
asks what's
Z what
Z say oh it's a woman that uh you know
works at a certain place she does
everything no it's all this profession
in the world no Rabbi no you know z a
Jewish girl that one time in her life
one time
she was with a go she's according to the
T one time according to the Tor that's T
calls so that means that if she when she
was 18 19 20 years
old she didn't know right or
left Mustafa and Chris were competing
for her she picked one of them
one night uh stand
ISO and she went back to her life 10
years passed finally found a nice
Jew finally did Chua she wants to marry
him what's the problem he's a
coin comes from the coin
family what does to say not
allowed yeah but he loves me good for
you not allowed yeah but I love him it's
very
sad a lot of
tears not
loud now you know who has the worst
position here the
rabbi because the rabbi is the one that
has
teller and I had
this Merit to fulfill this
Mitzvah was very very
difficult I think I cried as much as the
girl to tell her that
the one that she thought is a fiance
cannot be a fiance why he's
aen and according to the T she's
forbidden even though yeah but she goes
rab did CH already I I said you're
you're an amazing
person if I had a son i' give him to you
I had a son your I'll give it to you no
problem but Tora says
no what if we do it anyway if you do it
anyway then you're going against God
then you're going to have
problems what kind of problems just
imagine the worst kind a little worse
than
that both of
you why you're going against
the so here we learn that it's not
just gam that we have to worry
about
the fiery horrible place that we've
discussed but rather that we have a
principle in the
Torah where like life is a big
circle you know the uh G call what goes
around comes around or Karma all types
of other terms that they stole from
Judaism and just put their name tag on
it it's like you created the product but
they put their logo on
it
China so Torah
says that everything is a
circle don't think that you do something
now it's not going to have some type of
ramification good or
bad so
says tells his
wife after he saw her gave money to some
poor
person he says to his
wife please next
time give money to a poor person
but the next time if you see the poor
person coming if you already see him
from the window and you know he's coming
open the door already and go out and
give it to him go towards him to give it
to
him she says uh my dear
husband why you just come here what's
the goes no because if you go out there
and you treat the homeless person with
extra Grace and you make the effort to
give it to him maybe AEM will do the
same thing for our children when they
become
homeless now you tell this T mother why
you cursing my
kids cursing you're cursing our kids
because no Shalom not curing our kids
but it's a well-known thing that life is
a
circle that one day you're up and it
could be that another day you're
down one part of your life you're rich
and another part of your life you're
poor and if it's not you it could be
your kids and if it's not your kids it
could be your grandkids at some point
even if you're the richest man at some
point someone along the line one of your
descendants could be completely
broke so if you're a conscious person
that understands what Torah actually
says here you're can already think about
not just you you can think about past
you
not because you're saving money for a
retirement plan no retirement plan is
going to help you with
this there are certain people from some
of the wealthiest families in
history that are completely broke to the
extent of being
homeless now if you hear some of the
names you say oh yeah he must be rich no
no he's homeless what do you mean but
his grandfather was the richest man in
America one of the richest people in
history how could it be he had enough
money for a million years if if they
would have just simply spent money a
million dollars every day he'd still be
rich doesn't work that way decides who's
going to be rich who going be poor yeah
what about the grandfather grandfather
had the Merit to have money great great
great grandson not so much why
decided who
decided one
King asks his dear
friend tells him my my dear
friend you are a very wise person I
respect you I want you to please give me
a gift but a
gift that is going to help me in life
says what kind of gift to help you in
life so you see I have
everything I have money I have a castle
I have control I have everything but I
don't want this success to go to my head
so how do I do that everybody says yes
to me everybody agrees with me except
you you tell me the truth but what do I
do if you're not
around Rabbi says no problem I got
something for
you few weeks pass says your highness I
have the gift for you now if you're a
king that has a castle full of diamonds
what are you expecting expecting
something
honorable expecting something
expensive the rabbi gives him little
silver
ring ch cheap ring you buy it from
Chinatown
$115 but on it as engraving of three
letters gazi gim
zud says who's this
gazi who's this gazi on this cheap ring
so no it's a very precious ring made it
just for you who who is this gazi says
gazi stands for
G this too will pass
your highness you need to know that no
matter where you are in your life if the
times are really really good don't take
it to your head this two will pass and
things will turn around and it's not
going to be so good one day the maggots
are going to eat you for
lunch one day the enemy may win One day
things are not going to be so good one
day you're not going to be so healthy
and
young but don't get
depressed if you have a down month you
have a down year you have a down decade
things go bad don't get depressed why
this two will pass the bad time will
pass also your
highness life is a
circle this was the Priceless
gift why a person that knows that no
matter where he is in
life this two will pass automatically
half of the concern about his problem
is gone why because one of the primary
reasons
that people get to the point of
desperation depression and even commit
suicide is because of this reason where
they don't believe that this will
pass the problem that we make as human
beings on a regular
basis is that we believe
that wherever we're at right now it's
permanent hence the reason of why when
people become
successful especially if they're young
and unexperienced or
inexperienced they start doing a lot of
stupid things they start buying
expensive cars start buying houses they
can't don't even have any enough people
to fit in they start doing a bunch of
dumb things because they believe that if
they're successful now surely they're
going to be successful in 5 10 20 30
years we call those people new money
what happens to new money
broke most of those people go broke why
they spent a lot of money assuming that
their income and their success will
continue only to realize shortly later
that their hot stage is gone their top
product is no longer wanted it's
discontinued their idea is uh no longer
valid it's obsolete
their uh athletic career their physical
ability their idea is no one cares about
it anymore why something better came
along so they spent a lot of money and
this happens a lot with very successful
entrepreneurs athletes all types of uh
uh people that deal with in Hollywood of
of some kind they make 10 20 30 50 1002
200 million in a very short period of
time and then you read about them in the
news five six years later that uh
they're are living in their mother's
basement how could it be you had enough
money for a small civilization how could
it be I wrote a paper years
ago that uh shows that nearly
90% of uh the NFL athletes go bankrupt
and lose every single penny that they
have within three to four years after
their career is over now you would think
oh yeah but if he has let's say at least
15E career 20e career you know he went
from 20 to 40 years old he at least got
some time to enjoy the money no wrong
average career less than four
years yeah but he made $100 million and
he lost all of it in less than four
years sometimes
less sometimes less it's same thing with
the NBA same thing with the Major League
Baseball same thing with everything same
thing with the all all
types it's constant why they have this
mindset that their success is permanent
the people that you see that have a lot
of have gained a lot of wealth and are
really really successful you know after
a very long career are few and far in
between they're literally one in a
million
now on the other hand what ends up
happening to those people or people like
them is when they fall they get very
depressed if money was the substance
that they used to give themselves
spiritual
High then what ends up happening is when
that substance is no longer valid they
have very severe withdrawal systems
psychological withdrawal
systems meaning that they now have lost
their purpose to life because that was
their drug that was their fuel that was
their purpose to live which in essence
means they now have a purposeless
life the truth is they never had a
purpose the truth is they had a
purposeless life even before this they
didn't know yet they were addicted to
the money they were addicted to the fame
they addicted to the success assuming
it's going to continue but then they
realize that this is gone and now they
think oh my life is over no no your life
was over beforeand you just didn't know
yet what is it like sometimes there
certain electronic devices that you know
they have these lead lights and you take
out the outlet take out the uh the uh
electric the thing from the electric
outlet but the lead the lead light stays
on for a little while but there's no
electricity how is it on there's no
electricity answer is there's still a
little bit of remaining
electricity that the system already got
that this lead light is living off of
for these extra few seconds or or
so that's the same thing with those
people while they were living their fake
life that was completely based on
materialism
and getting their spiritual h of money
and living a purposeless
life what ends up happening is that they
think no no it's going it's going
everything is okay everything's okay I
got a lot of money everything's okay no
everything's not okay you happy well no
I'm going to get happy but you you have
the money that you wanted though yeah
yeah I just need a few more things
though I need a few more but you have a
lot yeah yeah just it's one more thing I
need to get married I need to have
another care I need to have another
house I need to build this company I
need to have this deal it's always
something else what material
why they realized their goal didn't get
them to their goal they achieved their
goal but it didn't get them to their
goal this type of purposeless life is
very very difficult to live it's
unfortunately very
common because what ends up happening is
that once these people lose their
money they now have not only no
money and no purpose but they don't even
know know how to get themselves out of
this situation cuz they're not used to
it they're not used they're not used to
recovery so this is
a
battle literally a survivorship
battle now how could they get out of
this situation same exact principle
gazi this two will
pass what do you mean how am going to
make money is going to send you
money yeah but I don't have any money I
used to have $100 million I didn't tell
you hm is going to send you another $100
million he may he may not but if he
sends you 50,000 you could live well
it's so tough no no no it's only tough
if you want to maintain the same
lifestyle but live you
can no but I'm so used get unused to it
stop being a
baby but what did I do a lot a lot of
wrong
things you're lucky even
alive why are you saying that Rob are
you cursing me no no that's what to
says T says that money is considered
damim money is called blood in the Torah
several names for money one of them is
blood Bloods plural why Bloods say
because people spent their entire life
attaining it they spent all of their
blood attaining
it and
what ends up happening is
that
sees that the time is up on this person
he's made a certain amount of sins she
made a certain amount of sins and
they're ruining their own life and
now if they're going to do chuva they
have to start soon or else they're G to
simply not achieve
chuva soem sends them different
Messengers sometime he sends them a
rabbi
sometimes he SS in the movie one of
themm took back his millions
maybe sometimes he did sometimes he do
different
things but sometimes they don't get
those messages they don't get no no I
don't want to watch the movie it's too
long it's an hour and a half too long
yeah but the movie in the movie theater
for 3 hours X-Men you watch
them they don't want to listen to the
rabbi they don't want to listen to the
moonm said something else what do he do
IRS
lawsuit competition divorce medical
problems all types of horrible things
that happen to people where literally
within a almost overnight it seems all
of the money they've believe they worked
hard for
gone 5 10 20 30 40 50 100 $200 million
gone money that you would think how
could such a person spend that kind of
money I mean if with that kind of money
if the guy spends a million year could
still live for 100 years how could he
lose all of it could
lose could lose happens every
day cuz no one just sits with their
money in cash and puts it in some
safe what do they do they invested in
different things why they want to make
more money they want to protect their
assets you now they protect their assets
by putting their assets at
risk in reality is one day uh yes sir
listen we have a uh uh we have something
to tell you sir why you know that mutual
fund the uh Franklin tumbleton fund that
you invested uh $10 million yeah uh yeah
it's not worth1 million anymore what
because the market went down a little
bit yeah something like that what
happened it's why it's down what 9.5
because you know it's a conservative
fund conservatives Frankin tempton it's
a big company trillion dollar company so
what 9.5 when lost a little bit why why
why you so nervous uh Mr broker no no
sir um it's uh it's not worth
anything what what do you mean it's not
worth
anything yeah you see the the Franklin
Templeton company uh they announced that
uh well the assets are not worth
anything what happened to them
well you know we don't really know
actually sir we don't know but we're
just announcing the news two weeks
ago but your next statement is going to
have a a pretty uh Fair change what kind
of change well it used to be 10 million
okay so what now
zero okay sir we got to go well what do
you mean you got to go you just told me
I lost $10 million yeah but we have a
bunch of other people lost $10 million
and more but thank you for your business
sir we hope that you come back to us as
a
client this happened right now
you know how many times this happens it
continue
happening no I lost everything there's
no purpose to life I'm going to kill
myself and some people kill themselves
why because their life was purposeless
to begin
with what really changed absolutely
nothing in reality nothing change cuz
the money is not like money that he was
using to buy groceries and uh you know
he was uh you know he needed the money
to to go pay the tuition for the kid the
money was on some statement it was some
digital number that was on a piece of
paper or on a screen better yet that he
would see once a month but now that he
feels like he doesn't have it anymore
there's no purpose to
life in
reality all that happened here is that
he realized that his life was
purposeless and now eats even worse now
he can't even get that dopamine that
dopamine Rush that he gets for half a
second every month to look at his
statement and see another few 00,000 up
few 00,000 down he didn't even have that
pleasure
anymore so when people are so focused on
on materialism it's very very simple for
them to become very depressed and once
they get depressed it's very quick for
them to become suicidal but if a
person takes this concept from the Tor
of gam this two Shall Pass they'll
realize that it's all a circle and yes
you lost everything yes you lost a lot
yes things are down yes there's a heart
broken yeah bad stuff happens in
everybody's life at some point or
another it's not a curse it's a reality
the longer you live the more stuff
you're going to experience some good
some
bad we all have only good it's just
let's
get so now what does a person do once he
gets to tough times he has to remember G
this to shall pass so yeah I'm down I'm
out of a job I'm out of this I'm out of
that I got tough times it's not going to
continue this way how long is it going
to continue I don't
know but I got buckle up stay strong and
keep
pushing why life is worth
it now I can tell you that I have a lot
of experience with
this when I was going through the worst
parts of my own
personal battle in health life money all
these different things everything there
was like a storm of all storms
everything was collapsing all at the
same
time where one day I wake up and aside
from my health being in a
toilet and aside from my company also
being in a toilet there was a little bit
left and there's a few million
left wake up oh bad news what your
portfolio is down 84%
sir what do you mean sir it's my
portfolio I'm the manager yeah yeah
exactly so what do you want uh we need
you to come up with a few million dollar
in uh two hours I don't have I just lost
yeah so you're going to have to sell
everything for a
loss no chance to
recover why can't you give me a couple
days that's not the rule sir
got $30 million on the line here $40
million on the line here every few
minutes it could be worse you could be
in a
negative okay so let me just try to sell
this that no no no we're going to sell
it for you yeah but you guys don't know
how to sell you're going to ruin it even
worse sir thank you for your business
Click by the time they finished they
made it much
worse instead of being left
with few
million
$111,000 now you got to call the
clients I'm sorry I didn't do anything
wrong I didn't do anything illegal but
I'm still sorry all right you gave me
responsibility and I
failed many people took it well we appre
appreciate you we've done a lot of
business with you and so on and so forth
but a few not so
much who are those few didn't take it so
much the ones that their whole life was
based on
material and those people usually the
closest to me the ones that I invested
the most
in the ones that I invested the most in
the ones that I helped a lot the ones
that I put everything
into all the energy best part yet the
ones that I made them all of the money
not me but in my practice and all the
different things that we did for them is
obviously the one that does everything
but when they came to me they were uh
out of verge of
bankruptcy within three four years turn
these people into
multi-millionaires all of a sudden they
are big
shots
[Applause]
ah they're the ones that accused they're
the ones that if you look at the uh uh
on the internet you look it up you know
all my enemies they like to look me up
so it's good for them it gives them
something to
do and uh look they say oh yeah look
lawsuit look couple people suit him he's
a
criminal you do business people going to
sue you the more business you do the
more likely you have to get sued if you
didn't get sued you probably didn't do
much
business you do billion dollars in
business get suited for 3 million that's
pretty good it's pretty good
now smart people also understand that
it's not about the lawsuit why it's
about the
outcome what's the outcome somebody sues
you for a million dollar wins a million
dollars obviously shows you're guilty
but if somebody sues you for a million
dollar and
settle for
9,000 settle for 9,000 why would you
settle for 9,000 if you really have a
real claim for a million dollar $2
million what does it show there's no
claim there's no no no case but the
enemies are not going to tell you that
they going to tell you ah see he got
sued criminal criminal no no you're just
a you never made any money in your
life you do a billion dollars in
business like I did billion with a B
billion do a billion dollars in
business then you can
talk
but
Circle did a billion dollar business now
you say thank you for people that send
you 200 bucks for staka right right life
circle life a
circle now what do I prefer 100 million
zillion zillion
percent saying thank you for 200 bucks
why all the money in the world did not
give me any blessing what gave me
blessing
toah so when a person
uses the
fall as a way to connect to the fall
turns into a blessing
when he
realizes this two shall
pass and eventually gets out of it you
realize all thing is a blessing one big
blessing person doesn't do that his life
turns into one big curse and for a while
it was a curse why you're dealing with
pain you wake up in the morning in pain
you go to sleep in pain during the day
you're in pain sometimes more sometimes
less depending on the uh you know on the
volume what decid to give you for that
hour friends sometimes pain you're
pretty much
disabled laying there wherever you fell
not wherever you lay down wherever you
fell you just sit there screaming
yelling crying no one can help you
sometimes sometimes you have to boil
yourself in water hot water like boiling
water why because the pain from the
water is uh better than the pain that
you have
otherwise Sometimes the best solution is
to go cut your body up why you got to go
to the doctor she cut you up give you
other pain give you a
surgery why that pain suffering there is
better than the pain that you have and
so on and so forth now when you deal
with so much pain what
happens it's
depressing it get you to a point where
you think this is going to be forever
I'm going to be sick forever I'm be in
pain forever who wants to live such a
life oh well you know at least a little
bit of money so I could buy some stuff
to you know to give me some uh happiness
oh money's gone oh okay so money is not
good okay so friends you know a couple
friends oh no no the friends yeah yeah
they just robbed your office
sir you know those friends that you know
the ones that you bought them the house
the ones that you helped their marriage
the ones that you did all that stuff for
yeah yeah they just robbed you oh no
friends though okay so friends money
help
what do you got uh okay so I'm going I'm
just going to die I'm just going to jump
off a bridge no no no you still got a
few things that are good what the few
you know your wife your mom
Brothers when you're in hell in your
mind you don't think that this is
valuable in reality
Priceless why you realize G now when I
was in my hell and I wanted to commit
suicide and I wanted to do a lot of
different things to to end
it I wasn't thinking like this why I
didn't have
Tor in his Mercy send us the message and
a little by little we woke up to realize
that there's much more value to life
than money than this than all these
different things that we talked about
and with without the pain and whether
the pain goes away or not is irrelevant
there's still value to
life and you start realizing that you
got to keep pushing you got to keep
moving forward you got to keep doing
things that are good and you can enjoy
life even with the suffering even with
the
difficulty and little by little you
start getting yourself into situation
where you start dealing with the
problems differently it's not that you
start doing chuva all your problems go
away sometimes that happens but not
necessarily always and not necessarily
uh right away either even if it does go
away but the Beautiful part
is is that you still you start living
life with a purpose because all of a
sudden your new life has to do with
purpose of life with the Afterlife
with
continuity it's not just about here it's
about later on it's about after and so
on and so forth but a lot of us don't
think like that a lot of us don't think
that we uh are uh you know we don't
think Beyond this life we think about
just now and we get very very very
depressed because of that and that's a
mistake so the first thing that we need
to know is
that this life is just a corridor to the
real
life and this life whether it be 70 80
100 years whatever it
is it's not real life this is the place
you
work where you enjoy the benefits of
your work is a place that's
Eternal or you pay the
consequences when a person starts
thinking about the next
World his actions his decisions his
mindset our mindset are very different
why because now you start realizing okay
wait a minute hold on so maybe what I'm
going to do right now may uh cost me a
lot of money maybe to give $1,000 St I'm
going to have $1,000 Less in my bank to
help out a friend give him a job even so
uh I really uh don't want to give him a
job but he needs a job because or else
he's not going to be able to feed his
kids and just to give him money it's not
really helping him so I'd rather just
give him a job yeah but that means I'm
spending and this and that you start
doing all if you do the math in your
head it's never going to work out but if
you do the math for it'll work out why
it's much better to give somebody a job
than to give
somebody why cuz when you give somebody
a job they don't feel like you're giving
them anything feel like thank you do me
a favor but I'm working I'm working for
it you still have their honor still have
their respect give somebody it's very
difficult why a person is
ashamed so now if a person understands
that if they continue pushing for life
they continue pushing pushing pushing
and fighting through the struggle and
it's going to
be over at some point without giving
yourself a time frame a lot of people
have a problem because they give
themselves a specific time frame oh no
no if I don't get a solution if I'm not
healed if I'm not making money if I'm
not married if I'm not this or that by
next year by next month by within the
next two years that's it I'm giving up
no no don't don't don't give don't give
AEM a clock he's not your
employee you got to keep pushing and
living life and going through the
struggles because that's what you got to
do don't put a clock on it why clock
will always disappoint
you the clock will always disappoint
you so make sure that you're pushing
without the
clock why because it's the right thing
to do it's the right thing to do this is
what you're supposed to do
live
and use whatever you learned from
that difficult experience to change your
actions if you have to do it all over
again
now what a lot of people don't know is
that the although the main punishment
that happens to a person happens
in and the main reward surely happens
in there are different things that does
in this
world where he runs the world with
measure for
measure that's as strict as can be so
much so that the says anyone says
that anyone says that Hashem just lets
things
go Hashem gives them an extra punishment
just for thinking
that tell is a let go everything has to
be paid for everything either by
chuv or by suffering you
pick so
now at the time of
the there was
a young man
successful that
uh was a
landlord and his poor Widow and her kids
weren't able to pay the
rent so the landlord came and he started
intimidating her and yelling at her he
said I'm sorry just give me some more
time I I don't have anywhere else to go
I don't have money for food I just just
let us you know at least give us a Ro
we'll get you the money no lady you got
till 2
hours but I don't have anywhere else to
go I don't have family I'm alone here in
the middle of nowhere in uh the the the
uh uh countries of ashkenas you Europe

outside you know just give us a little
more
time this
R remove the roof you know was it wasn't
like today's roofs and today's houses

roof of the house let the pouring rain
go into the house so she had to run away

president is
crying emotional of the story well so he
goes in the goes what happened you okay
something happened no no no no it's okay
it's okay no no tell me what
happened listen it's just it's okay it's
okay no no tell me what happened tell
me I saw what
happened
yeah is it remind me of a story that
happened 40 years
ago what happened 40 years ago he says
when I was a kid was a little
boy my uh my dad died my mom had to take
care of
us and uh she didn't have much
money and we went to the molit we went
to this you know the store
Delhi and you know the way it worked in
Israel doesn't work like that in America
is that even if you don't have money he
writes it in a book oh listen I'm buying
this this and this put it on my tab put
it on my tab and you know over time you
pay it it's like uh Community
Bank I remember when we left is over 30
years
ago my mom God bless her she uh was very
struggling financially at the time build
up a tab of almost
$5,000 which is an enormous amount of
money to the molit the fact that the guy
Rafi hasem bless him I don't know if
he's still alive or not but
the fact that he was able to carry such
tab for my family is a big
big but one of the greatest things that
I learned in my life is that despite the
fact that we moved from is to America my
mom sent the money every single month
until she paid the full
tab till she paid the full tab took a
few years but she sent them all the
money until she paid the full
tab could away come out I'm a different
country has a no honesty is honesty you
don't have to be the most religious
person in the world to be
honest to be ethical somebody did you a
favor an ungrateful
person so this guy this Vice President
says I
uh remember 40 years ago I was a kid my
father died went to the deli my mom
brought you know got a few things
minimal stuff some bread some milk
cheese so we can
eat went to the counter and the uh owner
looked at his book so I'm sorry I can't
do
it so my mom wh whispered to him thought
I can't hear that was a little kid she
didn't think I was paying
attention but I heard every word and she
whispered to him don't do this to me
don't do this to me please it's the only
thing I have I need food for my kids I
don't have anything in the house I don't
have anything in the house
please the guy looks at her and he gets
angry it's my fault you don't have
anything I can't do it return it please
don't do this to me she's still
Whispering the guy gets so
angry he takes the bag from her the
basket takes everything out gives uh
puts back empty basket he says now get
out of the
store kicks her out of the
store he said the my mom cried and the
pain that I saw my mom's
face says the worst pain I've ever seen
on anybody's
face my mom not to have food for
kids might as well be
death I sorry my
mom and went
home we overcame it I grew up became
successful became vice president of the
uh Bank over
here and now this
happened so the president of the bank
says wow it's quite a story now he goes
I'm not
finished see
sir that Storyteller over there the the
the the owner of the Delhi that threw my
mom
out his daughter was that
woman that the bank teller and our bank
just threw out of the
bank that was his
daughter that was his
daughter life is
circle life is circle tells us life's
Circle that's how
Works person needs to
know but there's also good
ways at one point was ready to build
this is about 120 years
ago
bu
giant rich person comes says oh I'll pay
for the whole
thing we're trying to build the $20 at a
time we're waiting for the guy that's
going to come say paid for whole thing
right check $10 million right check for
a million no something not yet not
coming
soon but somebody
were Sho stringe but he wanted to build
we're trying to
build he did what was needed but trying
to do what's
needed follow the instructions of our
forefathers when will my actions reach
the actions of my forefathers is what a
Jew is supposed to say every
day said I'm
open rich person comes says I'm ready to
pay for all
thing says something I don't think
anybody in the world is going to say
no can't pay for the whole thing no no
but for I insist I have the money it's
not about the money can't pay for the
whole
thing I keep Shabbat I keep it it's not
about you keeping I know you keep I know
you come to show everything we like you
you're good guy can't pay for the whole
thing why not for the love say the most
you can get is one wall you can pay for
a
wall pay for a
wall put your name on the wall that's
what you can pay for but why I want I
want to do the whole thing you see we
don't have the BET mikdash right now we
don't have the bet mikash that means we
have to get as many MIT as possible we
need as many people as possible to get
involved in this mitvah to show that we
want to build a mdash so we can't give
all the marit to just you
because every single person that donates
money for the sake of Tora is fulfilling
the entire Tor a person that does not
donate for the sake of Tor it's going
against the Tor so much
so almost made he made but then he
retracted it say someone doesn't
support has no share of the world to
come but then he said to the guy no no
remove it go why it's not a met it goes
to then why we removing it says because
if I make this a they're going to make a
in sh too nobody has a
chance all the people don't donate for
instead they donate to Hanah parties
they donate to horses they donate to
dogs that's least give them a chance but
that's damn it you have to support
to how much as much as you can at the
very least your if you could do you can
do 20 saying do 20 point is you have to
give money for why that
shows your more most important
investment in
eternity it's much more important than
your second house it's much more
important than a nice car it's much more
important than any jewelry you get right
it's Investing
For it's investing to build the Tora and
sanctify K's name every
day so this man rich guy says I that's
what I want to do I want to pay for the
whole thing I will invest for says no
you invest for but only a will why
everybody else also has to
invest so the guy accepted it got a from
the gives him a very respectable
blessing makes the wall a very special
wall in puts his name on
it as you would have it life is a circle
puts us here puts us there puts us that
all types of places a few years passed
and the guy dies the donor
dies of course the government don't need
much excuses to take all your money if
you're a Jew that's enough of an excuse
second he died said yeah yeah we he owed
here he owed here he ow there wiped out
everything that he had took the house
took everything left the wife and the
kids with
nothing zero z0
zero heard about this
brought told the people bring the
woman
here cry say no no nothing to cry about
here let me show you takes to Thea come
over here here you go this your
room this is your house your new house
you and the kids are going to live here
you have a designated room in the
Yesa why why people no no no it's the
least we can do this is what the owes
you
ow your
husband you see when a person invest
into Tor invest
into helping do invest into sanctify
kosh's name he's not doing the Torah a
favor he's not doing the rabbi a favor
he's doing himself a favor why Life's a
Circle the money that you have today
saying no no I'll donate at the end of
the year who says you're going to have
the money at the end of the
year what's the most important mitvah we
have
inah you have
now which mitvah whatever you you can do
right now do that's the most important
mitvah yeah Shabbat Shabbat big deal but
Shabbat is not today when Shabbat comes
that's the most important Mitzvah but
right now you can't do Shabbat it's not
the
most what you can't do it's 10 o' at
night can't put on 10:00 at night it's
not the most when is the most in the
morning when you can do you put
layer what can I do right now you didn't
get the point
yet you can learn T you can give you
could share this lecture do
[Applause]
K three me in 5 seconds and there's
plenty of others that's the most
important that's the most
important person needs to understand
that it's not just the size of the
Mitzvah but it's also the timing and
when a person utilizes these few
different tools that we talked
about he's going to make
himself be placed in a good place in
this circle regardless of which you know
sometimes we're up sometimes we're down
but at least if we make the right
decisions when we're up Hashem will also
have mercy on us if we're ever getting
to the point that we're down or our
descendants are down and that's what was
trying to teach his wife when the poor
man comes to collecta go towards him go
towards
him don't wait for him to come to you
you already see he's coming go towards
him extra kindness why soem if it gets
to the point where our kids or our
descendants are down are homeless are in
bad shape hasem also extends somebody to
us that they don't have to embarrass
themselves extra
why life is a circle life is a circle
with that being said who wants to come
up with some
questions
Joshua free the questions guys
freeths G
months
so
this says
that go 12 months but then there's
another and there an entire section in
the Z his entire teaching in the and
many many other holy books that talk
about how from the same
Rim says some people get G for a very
long time eternity Forever Until the is
destroyed so one side you say one year
other side you say many years or
infinity or you look at the
uh when the beginning it
says go to G for one year he says but
some go to G
forever says what's the difference says
if the ones that
uh the ones
that go forever they make
sins both they make sins what sins they
make they make sins with their body say
give me an example everybody understands
the example but the example that the
comes up with is someone doesn't put
on someone doesn't put on every day just
simply decides not to put
says he goes to G no
PR and of course other bodily sins
wasting
seed
adultery going with and so on these are
different big sins that a person that if
he doesn't do CH or she doesn't do CH
very very big problem but here we still
have a contradiction okay how come one
time you telling us one and another time
forever I mean there you know there a
middle ground somewhere
right so anyone looks in
yii says the
there's two there's the
there's it says
that are poor in one place but are rich
in
another meaning that when you learn
about a
subject in the
Torah specific issue in the Torah you
must learn it from all of the different
places that are mentioning that subject
and not just one place there's not a
single place in the Tor to learn about
any issue in the
Tor it's dispersed all over the
place so for example the boys right now
are about to
complete now you know what's the good
news they're learning right now things
about now if you think that this is the
last place you're going to learn about
mistake why because that's about to
complete guess what he also learned
about yeah but how come they didn't put
it in why don't they just put everything
and everything in Shabbat related to
shabbat that's not how it
works how does our work our Torah works
like our nervous
system where our nervous system if you
ever saw any of these visual
illustrations on the uh computers and so
on see our nervous system is completely
connected everything is connected to
everything so sometimes a person can
have a pain in their foot that has
nothing to do with their foot it has to
do with some clot or some nervous issue
that's in their
back sometimes they can have something
in uh their chest but has nothing to do
with their chest could be something
that's in happening in a different part
body
part so that's why for example anyone
you know these in the medical world they
tell you that uh if you have certain
symptoms then you should check your
heart say oh yeah if my chest hurts no
no no KN chest hurs other
things there other
symptoms why because your whole body is
connected there a nervous system
everything's
connected so this also explains people
asking why I don't understand how could
everything go so bad from a simple uh
hemor hemor rectomy hemorrhoid
rectomy how the whole body being pain
from that surgery that you had how could
it be because again the whole body is
connected if you have a problem with one
nerve it could literally affect the
entire
body the entire body needless to say
from there we learn our Tor is just like
this we do not learn Torah from just one
book or one line when we learn about a
specific subject we have to learn about
it from everywhere that encompasses it
and that's why you'll see that every
time it's mentioned anywhere it gives
you the source of where he got it from
so of course everything starts with the
five books of Moses so if you see it in
the I tell you where did you get this
from oh this is based on the verse and
such and such this it's in a it's in the
uh it's in a
in and so on and so forth on this verse
going tell you the source but also it's
mentioned in a different G and you see
there's another it's also mentioned in
the and so on and so forth so you see
that they're all connecting things and
you see that this is also discussed in
five different other places so then when
you see it for example you see it in
the of whatever you're looking for he's
going to tell you oh yeah I got this
from this on this page but also from
this this page and also from this P at
this page why can't you just give me one
no no can't just give you one why
because this one is discussing the right
side of this Mitzvah this one is
discussing the left side of the Mitzvah
and this one is discussing the middle of
the Mitzvah hypothetical point is that
it's not just one
place there's different places there's
different facets to the diamond that's
how we learned toah so when you see a
single statement in the Tor that says
something that seems like like it's
contradictory to what we've said it
doesn't mean that it's we're wrong what
it means that you have to learn more and
that's why many times when you see uh uh
quality speakers they'll give you one
source sometimes two but if you see that
same speaker right a book in the book
they may mention five sources 10 sources
why can't he just give me one like he
did in the lecture why is he trying to
show me smart he knows a lot of sources
no no no you don't speak the way you
write and you don't write the way you
speak
doesn't work the same way so when you're
learning from the you're learning from
the books you'll see that every single
major thing has countless different
sources countless different so for
example if you're going to go over a
certain today it's going to tell you
yeah this we got it from the in this in
this page and this in that section now
you're going to go to to go to the
source right is going to tell you okay
we got this from where ra and such and
such and Page such and such and such and
such now you go to the r the com the
rambam himself didn't put sources but
the that came after him put the sources
of where he got what he got so other
people have an easier time so you look
at the r and you see oh the r wrote this
where did he get it from oh he's using
such and such so you go to and that says
it's because of a different and that and
that and then where all they got it from
it's all from the and so on and so forth
now we don't get from the as far as the
the prophets or the uh the writings but
we get a from them meaning it's like an
assurance that this is the right
direction of what we're getting is only
from the five books of
Moses but the point being is is that why
didn't the guy that wrote the book today
just mention the original Source why
didn't he just mention this Allah
is from in this and this why do you have
to give me the and gave me the ra and
the r gave me one of the p and this and
that and then I went to the and
eventually I got all the way to the
promised land and a w Night written Tor
why didn't I just get it from the guy
that wrote a book today why is he
breaking my head because that's how you
learned
toah that's how you learned to you can't
just go and say oh if I could just read
the I'm going to understand you're not
going to understand anything
now only you're not going to you're not
going to understand anything you're not
even going to understand how they
connected this unless you go through all
of the steps and in reality I'm
minimizing it it's a lot more steps than
what I'm telling you why because the guy
that wrote the book today the G that
wrot a book today he's not just
mentioning he's mentioning 5 10 20 30
50 150 sources for one single
thing what
one yeah but there's hundreds of major
Pro scheme that went for that went
against and he's giving you both sides
and why we chose this side to show you
that everything you could possibly think
of was already thought
of everything you think about so now
when it comes to the issue of G if you
see it in a regular book that was
written by some with all do respect to
all of them that says one thing or the
other one sentence one little tiny
paragraph do not by any stretch of the
imagination think that this encompasses
the entire subject of Gom or any other
subject and even if you ask that himself
if he's an honest person he's a real is
this encompassing the whole subject
think no of course not there's thousands
of books written about
it thousands not hundreds thousands
thousands of books written about it
thousands of spoke about this subject
not
own thousands when we did a sh on G we
covered hundreds of sources but when we
did when it was pertaining just
to meaning not Gom discussed by all of
the in history but just there was a
second Shield that we did g based on
meaning that you've narrowed down the
search the research that was done done
for that was over 1,400 sources
from 1,400 sources
1400 1,400 different
places now you guys get on a silver
platter sounds like oh it's easy yeah I
can do this I can do what he does yeah
yeah I could do yeah I could
do everybody could do it yeah yeah same
thing no that's so simple why is a
genius
I try to learn as much as I can and
benefit as much as possible and give it
to you guys on a silver platter but the
point is is that we see from there that
just on the aspect of there are
literally hundreds and hundreds of that
discussed this particular issue needless
to say there are thousands that have
discussed this issue in a grand bigger
scope of Judaism which is much bigger
than just everybody understands that is
not
all of Judaism you know Judaism existed
before 250 years ago when Kaz
started
so this specific issue is only debated
in this
generation with this specific argument
no one 50 100 200 years
ago debated the issue of whether Gom is
a year or forever no one debated that
why it's obvious it's clear
first of all it's a clear that says it's
it's much longer second of all anyone
with a brain knows that it's not
possible for everyone to go to Gom all
the wicked to go to Gom for just one
year why if you have a brain let's use
it for a second okay brain turn on you
put the button on go now start running
now okay Manis that told you that GOM
only one year worst case okay let's see
manness how does this work okay one guy
he kept went to the shield did this did
that da but one time he did something
bad no matter what it is he did
something bad let's say we call the guys
obviously has to pay we just had a whole
hour talking about how nothing's for
free right so hasem says okay you get a
year and gay home right another
guy did not just that one sin that this
first guy did a million times
more see tell me he's also getting one
year and G home so that one guy did One
S gets one year in G home and the other
guy did a million times he's getting
only one year in G that's it everybody
gets the same punishment if you say that
the in sh says that makes a person 100%
a
heretic can't count them in why because
saying that everyone gets one year in
Gom turns God into a vicious God but
everybody gets the same sentence second
say yeah butab I'm keeping everything so
what the worst things happened to me one
year I don't know what what do you mean
you're keeping do you know
everything it also depends how many time
you make sins because even if a person
makes a sin okay I messed up you don't
just make one sin in your life you make
a bunch so if every sin is one year in
Gom already you have millions of
years so what's our answer don't focus
on going to gain
home focus on going to ganeden how do
you focus on going to ganeden do
mitv become so busy doing mitv you don't
have time to make sins and the time that
you failed and you made a sin do
Chua which is a beautiful thing why
because when you do chv you know what
happens you know what happens when you
do
chv gives you reward for the
Chua not only you you're a criminal but
now you did Chua says you did Chu son
I'm going to give you a reward for doing
Chua in essence you got rewarded for
being a thief because you did
cha it's not rational but that's how
much hasm loves us but if we focus only
about going to Gom G Gom Gom then we're
probably going to go to Gom because we
Manic the presence it's good to know
that GOM is much longer than a year
because if it's really only one year
honestly I would tell everybody do
whatever you want anyone's go
everybody's going to G for just one year
it's the worst thing do whatever you
want what's the difference if you
violate Shabbat you murder people yall
going to go one year what that's the
worst thing can
happen what's the point obviously
everyone understands it cannot be one
year and that's why theim were very very
adamant about this point to the extent
with the ran one of the greatest one of
the
greatest ever had
literally wrote that anyone that says
such a thing is 100% heretic just like
he violated the entire 13 principles of
Faith so why does the one or the one SE
say one year or this or that because
again like we said in the beginning we
learn from thei thei says that the way
the Torah Works in one place it's poor
and another place it's rich and one
place going to give you one sentence and
another place they give you five
sentences that doesn't mean that you by
default go to the five
sentences doesn't mean that what it
means is you take the one you take the
five you combine them and after that you
look for some more you look for some
more more more more more and little by
little you start getting yourself a
serious answer and a serious uh
understanding of a specific
subject that's how tah is learned so if
you ever see something that's
contradictory don't jump to conclusions
don't get a uh all riled up this is not
the entire scope of the subject
regardless of what the subject is does
not just gain them anything next
question same
price
1% no um okay um we with that
um our purpose here is to
really with the to really help us fix TR
and so as we learning and trying to do
everything that we do and let's the
subject of knowing that and everything
that comes to you it's
because so so like you're working with
other people and you yourself you're
trying to that focus and but you are put
in situation that people are kind of
they don't understand that idea and
their focus is like whoever that's I'm
doing business with that person is um
don't that's video so they give them
that that whole glory and you have to be
put in a position
to kind
of pretty much serve that person in
whatever they do whe
or right so you say you work for a com
for you you work for a person that does
not believe in and so many words is not
a person that's preparing themselves for
ganed they're preparing themselves for
very different world they believe that
their effort their uh strength is what's
making the money and what's making their
their success and so
on now this is the norm so it's not a
unique
situation the overwhelming majority of
the world literally
99.99999% of the world unfortunately has
the belief that their effort their skill
their wisdom their intellect their idea
is what is going to bring them success
their luck their being at the right
place at the right time their
coincidence and so on and so forth
people take credit for all of the good
that hasem gives them as if they got it
themselves this is the norm now what
happens when you work for those people
what happens when you do business with
those people well the truth is if you
didn't do business with those people you
simply wouldn't be able to work in the
world because the majority of the people
are like this either they're your boss
or they're your manager or they're your
employee or they're your customer or
sometimes Shalom your spouse or or your
friend or a family member they're
everywhere that's how people are so we
have to understand that the Torah
doesn't tell you that you're only
allowed to associate and do business
with people that
are you know that are completely
righteous one of the 36 that are you
know that the world exist on it doesn't
say that you
conduct the way of the world is you know
it's
a uh the uh the way of the world and
running the world is something that you
need to understand and to apply to your
life and make sure that you do whatever
is necessary in order for you to fulfill
the Torah meaning
that you're allowed to work with such
people as long as they're not uh you
know uh preaching idol worship and uh
and getting other people to idol worship
or something like that if they're just
uh mistaken in their ideology and so on
you're still allowed to uh to deal with
them to work for them to do whatever but
understand that your role is to fulfill
the Torah through your life which
includes your job so how do you fulfill
your Torah through your job by being an
honest employee an honest boss an honest
customer doing your role so when you
work for somebody you're getting paid
for it make sure you
work don't have him pay you for stuff
that he that you're doing for somebody
else if your boss is paying you to work
for him for let's say I don't know ask
him amount of hours he's telling you
that from let's say I don't 8:00 in the
morning till 6:00 at night or till 10:00
at night whatever your schedule is you
work for me I'm paying you you're you're
my employee right you're not allowed to
do any side projects on his time or her
time you're not allowed if you do you're
100% Thief gazel now yeah but he never
saw he never got hurt it doesn't matter
if he gets hurt it doesn't matter if he
saw he's paying you to produce for him
she's paying you to produce for her not
for somebody else so so yeah but I got
my work done doesn't matter that extra
time that you had to do that site
project you could have done that site
project that he's paying you for and
made him more money you took that time
that he's paying you for to work for
something else for yourself for somebody
else you're 100% a thief you want to
work for yourself either quit and go
work for yourself or that's at times
that he's not paying you
for you cannot do that so that's in
essence how you fulfill the Torah when
you're working doesn't matter that he's
a bad guy or he doesn't believe in God
or he's a doesn't make a difference you
still have to be a Jew you still have to
comply with the Torah you still have to
do what you're doing you still have to
be honest if you're the boss you have to
pay people on time if you're the
customer you have to make sure that your
check clears and you're not giving
people uh some checks that are
practically less than paper if you're
the uh employee you have to make sure
that you're an honest employee and so on
and so forth you have to fulfill your
role and be a light to the Nations that
doesn't mean that everyone is going to
be attracted to your light but surely
after they see you being a light for a
long time they'll see he's a light he's
a light and that's actually what
happened many many times throughout
history where when the G saw that
they mentality that their uh their power
and their strength
failed you know the money didn't help
the weapons didn't help the nothing
medicine nothing helped they were in
Dire Straits what did they do they went
to the Jewish people to persecute the
Jewish people why they're
holy yeah but just six months ago you
made fun of them yeah I made fun of them
doesn't mean it's true they're still
holy yeah but just six months ago you're
making this you're making that doesn't
make a difference they're they special
people they're the
light and we
fail we have to go to them so the way
you are at work is you have to be honest
you have to be ethical you have to do
what you have to do and that's why now
the other way is another thing is you
could try you could try to influence the
public aside from your actions by also
sharing Torah with them in a direct or
indirect way by uh giving them if
they're Jews giving them one of our CDs
giving them a poster sharing a text
message if you socialize with these
people uh you know you give him a text
message one of the lectures you could
try to do kir that way but one thing
doesn't steer you know doesn't uh
contradict the other one thing is not
more than the other first and foremost
you have to know as an employee you're
getting paid for a certain service
that's it whether the boss or manager or
whoever is good or bad person doesn't
make a difference if you're going to get
that money you want that money you have
to do the service you have to provide
the service now I can tell you from
experience of dealing with I don't know
how many but it's definitely in the
thousands of people in
business thousands customers as well as
vendors and so on service providers and
so on I have yet to meet a single person
that's honest in business
one
person I'm this this is not one of those
times where I'm exaggerating just for th
I'm dead serious not a single person
have I found that's actually honest now
sometimes they're good in the beginning
first transaction you give them
something they provide it so what do you
do you come back for more
right that's when it get you sometimes
it's two times or three times or four
times some six months sometimes it could
be two years
but it eventually happens with every
single person I've ever dealt with every
single time never failed never
failed I've never I I just it's it's
it's unbelievable to me he said yeah I'm
honest in business I laugh in my heart
like yeah
right you're either the mashiah or
you're you're lying to yourself why
people don't even know what honesty
is they don't think it's wrong to do
what they're doing
you know they decide listen I'm going to
charge my customers I don't know 100
bucks a month to go clean their pools
how of you going to come I'm going to
come once a week okay 100 bucks once a
week no problem all right the guy comes
once a week month two three four five
months good right then all of a sudden
you see the guy didn't come this week oh
okay maybe I didn't see him all right
then you he comes next week okay fine
but then you start noticing after a
while he's only coming twice a month but
he's still paying for four
what happened no no he came he came no
no he didn't come I'm home all day I see
he didn't come no no he came he came I
think you're I think you're too busy no
no I'm not too busy I see he's not he
didn't come what the guy think he
thought that you're not going to see why
because usually people are not
home and he's figuring listen the pool's
clean no one's using it anyway so what
what's the big deal for this customer if
I just skip once the big deal is you're
a thief that's the big deal to the
customer in reality it's not a big deal
why the pools clean or whatever the
service is it's not a big deal but in sh
100% big deal
sh they're going to take care of you for
what
skipping same thing with other things
you pay a person oh is a commission to
do such and such job oh yeah I'm going
to do this I'm going to do this I'm
going to do this I'm
do guy doesn't do it I had one time I
was building or one of my many websites
in
business websites are like my mini
nightmare in life I've spent so many
tens of thousands of dollars on them and
I've built so many they're like my tun
in life I think uh I don't know I can't
be a website developer on the previous
goo but I did something to do with it
anyway one time I had a guy come there
yeah pitch me this whole thing for
business this that how much do you want
$47,000 to build this website and this
and that this whole plan okay no
problem gave a piece of the money
started doing some work that delay delay
delay d
okay sir here's where you have after I
don't know however many months waiting
for this thing he already got out of the
47,000 he already got 40,000 of
it which was a mistake on my end by the
way you should never pay somebody that
much money for what incomplete work but
anyway 40,000 okay what do you got I
look at the product I'm like this is not
even half
finished ah I'm not doing anymore what
do you mean do I paid you all the money
I'm not doing anymore click
you tell stuff like this happened to me
in life wo I can give you the stories
the world would would would end and the
stories
wouldn't countless lawyers doctors web
developers all types of uh business
everything why
people are simply
dishonest to the extent where they don't
even realize it's
wrong you know who realize it's wrong
people that
have and that's why the says someone who
doesn't have you shouldn't even be in a
room with him alone why he may kill
you why because he has he may kill you
yes where we learn it
from says to says how come you didn't
tell me that your wife is really your
that your sister is really your wife
abah says to him I sure there's no here
so they would kill me over my with my
wife person have don't deal with them at
all but the problem is it's can be very
very hard for you to find customers
managers uh employee everything so you
have to deal what people that but just
be very careful be very careful and
expect the worst don't be overly
optimistic with certain things because
it's a reality it's reality certain
people promise a lot if they would
deliver half of what they promis it's
already
miracle and that's how it is practically
in all of the dealings that I've seen in
my life and trust me even if you said no
no maybe have bad luck it's not I don't
have bad
luck other people tell me story just a
few days ago a few days ago somebody
says listen for a guy that uh was
struggling because of Corona and
everything else he's a builder or
whatever he is and he can't build
nothing so I felt bad so we figured you
know what let us give some this guy some
work
get some work in the house so we hire
told listen come to the work you know
fix up this
place I don't know $10,000 job you know
it's good money when you don't have any
money or anyway oh $10,000 job good
great
okay after you finish the job okay great
all right all right thank you got the
money okay very good thank you very much
see you after guy leave honey where's
the boxes we got from uh UPS today I
don't know what do you mean you don't
know we got we got some stuff I don't
know let's look at the camera look at
the camera the guy stole the stuff from
them the guy stole the boxes there all
cameras the guy stole the
boxes the same guy they just fed him he
was broke had no money to pay nothing
they gave him a job he stole from
them oh I'm sorry yeah no I know yeah
yeah yeah okay just bring it back it's
okay I don't know what got into me
okay every day why you have
no you commit murder in a
second needless to say dishonest in
business so what is what do we learn
from here be careful set your
expectations where they should be and
not where you want them to be be careful
expectations don't be overly optimistic
don't be overly pessimistic either
because you're pessimistic you can't
move on in life you have to be
optimistic to a certain extent but when
it comes to
people set yourself up in such a
position where everyone is replaceable
do not depend on anybody being here
tomorrow don't think anyone owes you
anything don't think that anyone is
going to promise you anything whatever
promises people tell you have it one
year and out the other not because
they're dishonest not because they're
bad people but because today that's what
they're saying who knows if they still
believe what they're saying next week
people
change people change was
aad people think that K was a gangster K
was a sadik you know how I know he was a
navi it's a
prophet he saw a prophecy that is in his
lineage sh is coming
hasem doesn't give somebody uh such
fishs what happened with K his wife
whispered in his ear told him man you
knowu the wicked wife he listened to her
next thing you know instead of loving he
hates
him that's what the Torah
says a woman builds a woman destroys if
she's
righteous then she'll tell you listen
mosenu is's a good Rabbi you should
listen to him yeah but he said something
I didn't like he rebuked me listen he's
a rabbi if he rebuked you say I'm sorry
Rabbi you're right yeah but I'm not
sorry sh I'm sorry why you
re he's right well he's not right he's
right how do you know he's right you
didn't even hear what he said if he said
it he's right why he's the
rabbi by default he's
right by default doesn't have to explain
himself
people are no no can you explain this I
don't have to what you're the rabbi I
don't tell if I ask my Rabbi certain
questions and he gives me an answer
against what I want I say can you
explain it to me
please why do you have this Ence I say
that sometimes you want more to
learn but not because you're trying to
have them
justify so somebody tells you oh listen
where is this to say what you said is
there a source for it what you think I'm
a
liar now if you're asking for a source
first second third fourth time no
problem or because you don't know maybe
I'm a liar maybe make stuff up but after
you've gotten a 100 sources from me
already you're still asking for a
source is it for learning purposes or
you trying to see from line I just made
it up for entertainment
purposes and that's the problem you have
to understand you have a certain role
rabbis have a certain role have a
certain role employees have a certain
role uh the boss has a certain role
customer has a everybody's got a certain
role you have to have certain
expectations certain things put
everybody in certain things and just
understand that not everything is always
going to dance to your tune and work
according to your plan but you got to
keep pushing keep pushing do what you
got to do put your head down
Focus good things will follow good
things will follow but as far as
disappointments from people the longer
you live the more you become used to it
because that's what happens that's what
happens this is what it is this is what
it is go ahead hopefully you guys have
less disappointments than I did in my
life but uh I don't know I know a lot of
Old-Timers and
uh they uh they uh kind of had similar
similar Strate similar uh Journey that's
how people
are next we're almost
done what time is it5
okay no
guys asking some big uh philosophical
questions today big uh you can make shim
out of these
questions no give me an easy one no sun
got one okay
no
okay it says
you have to look at the commentary of
exactly where he said it what Rashi says
over
there um you
know yes so so surely a person has to
judge everyone based on Al and it's a
forbidden for a
person to uh to ever judge a uh uh a
person based on his circumstance meaning
that if Thea says that let's say for
example there's a uh big uh uh lawsuit
between a rich guy and a poor guy and
the rich guy could afford to lose he's
got tons of money and the poor guy can't
afford to lose can't afford to lose so
sometimes people want to be nice and
philosophical and say listen the rich
guy can afford to lose let's just give
the case to the poor
guy says such a such a such a person
that judges like this is destroying the
world why you're manipulating to you're
not allowed to judge this way not allow
to judge this way so what I believe
David may be referring to over there
when he says judge the uh uh the the
poor favorably is an aspect of the
legitimacy of their case meaning that
sometimes rich people Sue each other
without any legitimacy just to get back
at each other just to hurt each other
not because they actually have a case
not because they they they really have
they have a loss they're suing their
insurance company for damages that
didn't even Cur why cuz they figured let
me make some money out of this they're
suing their partner for something they
don't even have no you hurt me have
punitive damages my reputation is down I
want $10 million your whole life is not
worth five bucks you want $10 million
for your reputation no I'm going to sue
for this amount because I think I
deserve this so sometimes the rich
people not necessarily just billionaires
but just people that are relatively
successful and not poor they press
charges against each other and lawsuits
against each other without leg
legitimacy whereas a poor person
generally he's not going to do that why
he's already struggling as it is he
doesn't have that kind of time to waste
like the rich part he doesn't have the
luxury of time to go sue people for no
reason he also doesn't have the budget
to do it when you're a rich person you
could just pretty much have a your own
in-house lawyer or a law firm on
retainer and pretty much just sue people
on a regular basis I had a guy like that
actually he used to be my boss ended up
becoming my employee and this guy was
the most litigious person in in the
world now I can't even say his name cuz
it's like Beetle Juice you say his name
three times he shows
up now this guy is the worst person like
literally one of the worst people on
Earth and he's a very dangerous person
and anyway this guy was the most
litigious person in the world everybody
he sued if you looked at him the wrong
way sued you if you did this sued you
right or wrong sued you worst person
everybody had a law every company ever
worked at lawsuit every company bunch of
his customers lawsuits it was
unbelievable how many lawsuits this guy
had anyway I made the mistake of
actually hiring this guy he used to be
my boss and then you know I went my own
way I became a lot more successful than
he ever was and one day he uh connected
to me and then he uh wanted to become
friends again and he talked to uh my
brother he says listen maybe we could
work together sold us a dream of how he
can help us build a firm and I really
wanted to go in a different direction so
I needed somebody I needed somebody to
run the division the the the
company and uh I brought into it I said
okay you know what I'll give you a job
I'll give you this whatever you want
whatever you want I gave it you know I
was generous I did okay no
problem within a a week my whole office
is like upside down because of all the
Havoc this guy's going but I say you
know what let him go let him do whatever
he's got to do he knows what he's doing
all right he gets his paycheck he gets
his this he gets his that he's building
okay you know sometimes when there's
change you know there a little bit of
turmoil in the beginning but I start
seeing the employees are complaining
there's different difficulties we never
had before so already within the first
few weeks my wife already comes to me
says this is a mistake
mistake mistake okay but how do we get
out of this mistake we have a contract
with this amalik in my office I have a
contract with this guy so whatever he'll
bury himself
one day so we continue doing what we're
doing within a matter of maybe a month
and a half two months he started burying
himself as he always
does and uh gets into an argument with
me you know does a few things out of
line and uh we catch him
stealing we catch him stealing so oh
okay you stole this violated the
contract on this this this and this
that's it
fired that
night he got his loyal to send that
night it was like M prepared already
that night he already had his lawyer
sent me like a 20 Page Letter with 50
accusations of some crazy stuff that he
just made up of different things he
wants to sue me for $50
million or $250,000 cash right
now one of them I'll never forget this
he said he cuz he was not Jewish and uh
he was an Italian guy and I like Italian
people but this guy even the Italian
people don't
like uh and uh he uh he said that uh he
felt persecuted every time the uh Rabbi
the kabad guys used to come to my office
like three times a week he felt
persecuted that when the religious uh
Jews would come to the office because he
wasn't Jewish uh and they would whip we
would whip him we would whip him because
he's not Jewish
the craziest stuff in the world then he
said that like the secretary touched him
this guy is like m a giant and his
little secretary says she touched him in
a in a provocative way like all types of
crazy stuff and the lawyer doesn't care
about anything why cuz he's a just like
him in the end he got zero I told him to
go fly a kite and uh you know go play
this game with somebody else but uh not
50 million not 200,000 not zero he
actually owed this money till this day
but the point is is that there some
people are just like that some people
they're always the victim they want to
sue everybody everyone's wrong listen
one time two times three times
everybody's wrong okay maybe but if
you're in a lawsuit on a regular
basis check yourself check yourself
can't beat everybody now I know I'm kind
of contradicting some or it sound like
I'm contradicting some of the things I
said myself I said I've never met a
single honest person I didn't I didn't
sue all of them I just they're not
honest I moved on my life already at
this point I don't even waste my time I
don't waste my time suing people and F
even arguing with them I see somebody
actually just uh two weeks ago somebody
made an agreement with me said he's
going to uh uh do something and uh I
told okay it's time to do what you said
you're going to do two years ago oh I
don't remember saying that uh you sure I
said that I said listen I remember stuff
from 3 years I remember what you
said I remember what you said yeah no I
remember that I said all of a sudden he
remembers I remember that I said it but
I don't think I meant it that way I said
there's no other way to mean
it but don't worry you don't want to do
it do whatever you want you don't want
to do it don't worry it will send me the
money has will send the money you don't
want to do it you owe me the money you
don't think you you don't want to do it
no problem
go no no you don't understand no no no I
understand perfectly fine if you want to
give me the money you owe for me give
you don't want to give don't give why
take care of it fight with you go to bed
was time for that what it's time for
that what it's time to go
fight if I'm entitled to the money will
send it right to my door if I'm not I
could fight till I'm blew in the
face and I'm not going
money I got a guy that owes me a half a
million dollars right now you know how
much a half a million dollars is more
than what I have half a million
dollars okay I lent them half a million
dollars years ago supposed to give it
back in 90 days it's been 13 years 14
years I never sued him I won't sue them
I don't even call the guy why because if
I'm entitled to the money will send it
to my
door without asking without nothing you
know why I didn't get it I don't deserve
it why I don't know I do good things
with my money I give I give 20
everything good but decid that I don't
deserve it maybe I don't need it
Whatever It
Is decision if you need it you want it
there's all he's going to take care of
everything that's how it works that's
how it works what about the bed b is
also good use it when you need to use
it use it when you need to use it
but if you're able to havea to the
extent where you know that everything
that's yours will be given to you you'll
never be short changed he could steal
from you but hasm can give you the money
in a different way if you understand
that hm runs the world you don't even
have to use
bedad says that bed is for for people
have know but that's a different story
that's for in his level so if somebody
steals from you you try to get the money
back from
them if they don't want to give you the
money back you go to the
bed to uh you know uh tell them listen
listen if you don't uh take you to the
bedine if they don't want to go to the
bedine you get a permission from the

story you know when I get the story an
hour before the lecture I always tell

lecture a wonderful woman who's going to
be writing this story on our
website as part of the chuva stories
she says Rabbi I have to tell you
something something happened twice you
know when something happens
once something happens once you know oh
you know it's a incident coincident this
that happened
twice one time a guy donated I was
teaching or whatever he says donate
$500 which was not a lot of money for
him but a lot of money for his
stinginess an hour later he tells me wow
you're never going to believe it so what
said I donate $500 you by the way it
took him three years to donate this
$500 I tell $500 you're never going to
believe it just some woman out of
nowhere called me says listen I I want
you to do this uh job for me pick up
stuff in my house I'll pay 500 bucks
hasm paid me right away what I
donated what a miracle what a miracle in
reality I'm a
v so anyway this wonderful
woman she says RAB I have to tell you
something I have proof that I said I
know I have proof I have proof also in
the T no no no I have proof in the Torah
a life a real life so what happened he
said a mon ago I donated money to B to
the
organization and that night that night I
donated an hour later I went in the car
with my young daughter we're going
somewhere somebody blew the stop sign
smashed into our car aah came they
looked at us says I we have no idea how
you're alive without a scratch on WE a
scratch on my was an hour after I donate
the money somebody blew a stop sign but
nothing happened to
us she says last night was a month ago
last night I got this uh natural uh
thing for uh that she started take
trying it
out she didn't know she's allergic to
it she took a bite of this
thing and she started feeling her throat
close
up within a matter of minutes she
starting to have a hard time breathing
atala come this that came everything
said lady you're allergic to this thing
they give a shot what seconds save the
life everything she's everything good
when was that an hour after she
died she said Rabbi I was supposed to
die
twice supposed to die
twice I
gave has saved my life say Rabbi please
do me a favor spread the story tell
people that it's 100% true you
donate you donate for donate for it's
gon to save your life
maybe today maybe tomorrow maybe this
but everything at some point everything
you do will have an outcome your prayers
will have an outcome your takaka will
have a outcome it may be an hour from
now it may be a year from now maybe 10
years maybe in your kids lifetime who
knows but for sure you're going to get
paid for it for
sure make sure that all of those
Investments that you're doing and you're
making are good ones the Investments you
make with your mouth the Investments
that you make with your
pocket make sure that they're good so
the payment that you're going to
eventually get or that your descendants
and kids are going to get is a good
payment why because that's the type of
payment that Hashem loves the most he
wants to give you a good payment he
wants to save your life but he also
wants you to see that technically it
could have been something else it could
have been something else so that people
are doing the right
thing and they're helping
day after day by supporting may they
continue supporting may we be able to
open the Yesa the K this huge community
that we're going to build in South
Florida for all those that want to
donate a million and up you could text
me 917 468
2324 no phone calls please have some
mercy on me I have hundreds of messages
to to deal with uh but
on a serious note it's when you donate
to you're donating for yourself you're
donating for your investment for the
second house the first house all the
extra kitchen all that other stuff
that's just this world we all have to
donate for l so anyone that can should
and even if you can't try to get other
people that can everyone can do
something you have a few friends you
have a few family members that you can
get together try to get people to uh do
as much as possible because right now
we're hot we're doing good people are uh
you know people need this people want
this and that's where we got to take
advantage got to take advantage of the
opportunity that we have because again
if we do uh enough work in a relatively
short period of time we may even be able
to start something already in the next
school year but if we delay so much and
people pretty much you know crawl you
know sending $20 a month for for for the
sake of it's it's going to happen long
time so we want everyone to be involved
why because we don't want to give the
the Merit to just one person just like
that we learned from the one wall one
wall why but I want to donate a million
dollar okay so the million dollars will
be for one wall we still want the
million dollars it's not like less money
it's same money one wall why because we
want all of to be involved there's a lot
to do there a lot of a lot of movies a
lot of books puzzles all types of ideas
cartoons we got lots of stuff in the
works we need need enormous amount of
funding says to me he says listen
honestly I think even even if people
donated $100 million it still wouldn't
be enough I said for your ideas alone it
wouldn't be enough he has a new idea by
by the second God bless him so uh
there's a lot of good things to do but
we need as many partners as possible
it's the investment is for you the
investment is for
you we all set ourselves up for good for
for to be in a position that he wants to
be in which is to give us good and we do
good for others be a light to our own
Nation be a light to the Nations and
bring amen
