Despicable With Permission Of Torah - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (71)

[Music] good to be in aventur again we are now up to M number 71 this year we also go Forma to Lana but s um davidor and anyone that I couldn't think of or didn't remember all of so we uh have uh m 16 416 uh and then we have also where we are actually introduced to AB ainu abah ainu the uh beginning of Judaism if you will uh and then obviously the uh there's no shortage of craziness around the world that Hashem uses as tools to wake us up um whether be political issues or religious issues uh anything and everything that's out there uhm hm is constantly sending us different messages uh that to wake us up now uh before I take your questions of course I'm sure you're G to have some questions before I take some questions there is uh always people out there that um like the debate they like the debate they like the debate with Torah they like to debate with the truth of the Torah you know because in uh it's not necessarily new um it's always been people like that whether it's going back to the days of K his crew that went against mosenu uh or it's a the people that went against David or it's a uh the uh reformers and conservatives and today it's the uh just people that are looking for excuses to continue sinning and sometimes those people continue sinning look more religious than you and I and they've gone to more Yeshiva than you and I and they uh in some cases say at least that they've learned more material than you and I how much they've actually can you know believe and follow and so on is a different story but nonetheless sometimes you see the biggest surprises uh from uh the least expected uh so one of the uh big things that we've had the Merit to do is over the last few years is we've had an extra ordinary amount of just to be able to tell you guys the truth the T the the truth of the Torah and um oh here we go we have the uh Satan showed up early today usually gives me about a half hour oh okay here we go so showed up just be quiet please for the rest of the let us do the um so uh usually he gives me about a half hour half hour 40 minutes then he show shows up he shows a plate shows a plate like some people he shows a plate but today he's showing up early he showing up right on time so uh already disturbing the camera is the camera online on the sideways again sideways again I think it's sideways probably it's probably sideways it's usually sideways if he showed up that's mean it's usually sideways so uh you would think that I'm on purpose doing it on Sideways already by now I haven't figured it out it's just m doing it on its own so anyway uh people like to argue people don't like hear it's good it's good people like to argue people like to debate uh and um especially when you tell people the truth that hurts what does it mean truth that hurts uh what does it mean truth that hurts truth that hurts means that it's truth that you cannot debate you cannot dispute and is to such an extent where if you you agree with it you have to change meaning you can't reasonably say and admit that this is the truth and stay the same you can't it's like uh someone tell somebody listen there's a little bit of poison in this cup that you're about to drink gu says no no I believe you but it's okay you can't why once you know that once you agree and you believe there's poison in the cup you're not going to drink it so sometimes there's truth that's so in your face that you have to change so what happens with sometimes with people is that they see the truth and the truth shakes their world apart uh because they know that they have to change and sometimes they're able to change uh they're able to overcome the despite how strong he is and sometimes they just don't want to so B over the last few years we've had to call out a few things that apparently have either been neglected or just not spoken about in public uh and uh we've got the support of theim that uh you know that actually came out so for example uh we've been talking about the whole wig situation over the last couple of years I've told people that how uh aside from the fact the the longstanding debate of wigs not being kosher simply because they're not modest uh we added a new uh twist to the argument where we said that even if you use theel the leniency to say that wigs are modest you still can't use the vast majority of wigs out there because they're made out of real hair and with real hair wigs they are it's it's impossible for you to know if it's coming from a or not because the vast majority of the wigs in the world are coming from India as a part of a as a part of idol worship so we've already been talking about this for a couple of years and in the last couple of months the have uh joined the argument the public argument have taken it to the completely Next Level the higher level and have passed both in asazi Safari everywhere you're not allowed to use real hair wigs at all there is no you're just it's you cannot use any real hair wigs at all from now on regardless of what P you rely on relies if if it's the laichi or if it's this one or if it's ashkanazi or if it's it doesn't make a difference no one allows a no one no p no ra no nothing no one allows a no one allows idol worship and since we know for sure that what they do in in uh India IND is idol worship uh as a matter of fact I have a couple of students that are from India and one of them actually made a video he lives in India he says yes of course that what they're doing in these temples is AAR he goes how does anybody think it's not abar he lives there he's an Indian and he says it actually starts from childhood things that I didn't even know so it's part of the whole it's part of a the the raising of these kids so brought this to people's attention not to repeat but just again to remind people that it's what we say when when you say the right thing when it's but you don't always necessarily have the source right off the top of your head or you don't necessarily have theor signing off on it right away you don't have the book right away but you said the right thing so when when when you find out that someone else has said it that's bigger than you smarter than you and has their verification that gives you the stample of approval you say meaning uh it's it's a blessing that I was in the right direction I was in the right direction I I aimed in the right direction so and in the issue of wigs now it's aw it's an you're not allowed to wear these wigs anywhere not in Israel not in America not anywhere anyone that does is violating ala uh and of course this is spreading this is spreading like wildfire I recently got some some people sending it to me I guess they didn't know I was we were the ones that I guess tried to uh be uh behind this for a couple of years already uh it doesn't matter the point is that people have started sending it to me like oh by the way I heard in your lecture you mentioned things against wigs actually we just see this stuff posted all over Canada we see the stuff posted in different places in Europe we see the stuff posted in Israel so people are actually sending it to me so I'm seeing that this is actually a spreading like wildfire and different people that are choosing to overcome are changing they're taking off their wigs and there are some people are doing CH and now unfortunately always people that are making excuses uh so that was one thing that bem was one big thing uh another thing is in regards to the whole uh bringing the idol worshippers the missionaries into the betet that whole fight that we had uh in the beginning of uh this secular year we had several of the sign a letter one of them was Rabbi kamki one of the G in America uh which agreed on the spot that this is obviously 100% ass so again once again and the reason why I mentioned it to you is not to you know uh Pat myself on a back Shalom but because it happened again uh about uh I think it was maybe almost three years ago three years ago two and a half years ago uh we did a sh we mentioned about about how this new style that uh what's happening in uh both in the religious and non-religious part that's the problem as uh there's a new problem in modesty for males male modesty has become or immodesty has become a problem for the first time in history for Jewish people throughout all of history who've always had been very careful about women modesty covering their hair covering their body you know watching their speech how they act so on and so forth but in general with males with with guys with men we've never actually had a problem uh it's you know guys never had a problem with modesty until recent generation where these uh fashion designers that work for the Satan himself uh came up with a new plan to make these uh new style of uh clothing that are tight clothing and somehow they convince the world that they look better with extra tight clothing even when this extra tight clothing accentuates their fat even when this tight clothing accentuate their giant love handles even when this tight clothing accentuates their Giant buttocks even when this tight clothing makes them look like an elephant just with with with with with without the little thing that the little big nose and somehow we've convinced Jewish men to wear this and I'm not just talking about the secular world you know the Israelis the uh the the Safari no no I'm talking about everyone I'm talking about inside yes you have have guys going and changing their suits they have suits that are normal suits that throughout all of history have always been the same pretty much a suit is a suit a suit is really one of the few things that hasn't changed that much there's a few different styles of Suits four button suits three button suits double breasted suits but in general the suit as a whole hasn't changed much it's always been a classic in in the past uh you know in World War II era and before people used to wear suit all the time I wish we were born in those days we probably were we just did something terrible we came back again but anyway suits have always been a classic somehow we've managed to ruin that we've managed to ruin a classic where they go to these tailor and they either buy brand new or they ruin the existing suit they have by making it extra tight where you see these guys wearing these suits tight and you know and like they make sure that it's extra tight and if they lose weight they tuck it in even more and you know you see these guys constantly going like this and constantly like what's wrong with you how could it be so comfortable how can it be comfortable to C to wear such tight clothes and the pants you can see the guy's shape regardless of how many curves he has now it's funny but it's true and this is not modest aside from it looking like a woman which is a different problem its own it's not modest it's not modest for anyone to see the shape of a body of either a male or a female and this is something long time this is not appropriate for a male or a female and we brought this up in a already a couple of years ago and some of the young guys from yesim wanted to like hang my head like oh you're you're stringent you're this you're making up laws I said this is not mod you're not allowed to wear this stuff I mentioned some sources and so on but no one wanted to take it seriously and everyone actually uh made fun of it in some cases except women women always agreed women always agreed that yeah you know what it actually aside from it not being uh uh modest it looks terrible from the Viewpoint of a woman I don't have one woman one woman ever told me that this stuff this this clothing looks good especially since most guys are overweight most guys are not exactly a superstar uh runway model most of these guys have an extra belly or two have uh some uh some extra fat that they can lose and for some reason someone has convinced them that they should wear extra tight clothes to accentuate it so we've talked about it and and then there was a k that I had when I was in Israel I did a few sh over there a year or two ago and uh I said that actually the there was one time in history that the these tight pants these skinny jeans were in style and that was in the Nazi army Nazi Germany Army that's actually what they wore they wore very skin tight jeans Skin Tight Pants and they were loose in the hip area uh and I actually did I took a a picture of Nazi pants that was online next to a just a regular skinny jeans skinny pants that they had online and you have a you know one next to the other and it was you know a picture speaks a thousand words but again there's no do do supporting it nothing what happened over the last uh I believe week has been extraordinary where the from Israel uh Rabbi Mazo and several other of the have actually passed they even quoted thean um section 23 one and six as sources that wearing these skinny clothes wearing these tight clothes is 100% it's 100% forbidden in the Torah for males to where so now you have again that you have finally uh you know actually are they're bringing this to their attention and they're seeing it and they're seeing it uh as clear as day and it's not that theor um ignore this stuff it's just they don't see it they don't go outside to malls and see how these people dress so unless you bring stuff to their attention in general they're just in front of the they their Tor they're learning all day they're they're they're living a Torah life so a lot of the stuff you have to bring to their attention unfortunately because there's so many middl men it's difficult to sometimes bring uh major things to their attention uh so this is now again an official and uh the reason why I mention is because again when you see that you speak from the heart you tell people the truth eventually Hashem was going to let the rest of the world know that this truth is nonetheless 100% % pure so so now with this uh sh we have today we have a lot of we have a lot of great things to talk about um we have this m we have the we have the questions from you they're gonna start right about now so all right who wants to start about the issue ofing Rel Jews having sex with non-jews bottom line that's what you're trying to say married not married is irrelevant okay so are they allowed or they're not allowed not allowed but okay we'll go into details a little later okay next question go so is the first monus he was created by himself uh then then obviously that continued but uh abah ainu is the considered the uh patriarch in essence where was like an organized religion if you will was an organized religion he started he's the first one that started daily prayer he started and it became like a uh an organized religion and actually that's one of the things we'll talk about about the Paras uh to show that he was actually the first kiru Rabbi in history I already did a blessing before next go past okay past 120 there also other other people that Liv past 120 um the simple answer is is that the general person will not live past 120 some people will have merits to live beyond uh that's the that's the general uh there is some MIM that talk about why and who and when and so on like why abah ainu why even his father his father lived a 205 years he wasn't exactly the biggest sadik in the world he was an idol worshiper for most of his life uh before he did chuva and uh we know that did chuva and he has a share of the world to come because there's a verse in the Tor uh that says it says his name twice and kazal tell us that any time a name is mentioned twice in a row in the Tor that means that person has it's like one of the there rules in the Tor this is one of the rules anytime there's the same name twice that means that particular person Hasa so it explains certain things where for example you don't have the story of in the written Tor you have it in the oral Tor so this is where Kaz learned that story in essence uh next go ahead I'm just okay good Kaz did kazal did we don't we're making the mistake k if you look in they celebrated the go anytime a go would come to them and want to convert they would celebrate um the several stories of some of the most uh extraordinary Jews that ever lived were converts uh and uh there's several stories of for example there's um Elisha a Nai and gazi his servant lost hisa because he got in the way of a conversion the king wanted to convert after seeing Alisha's miracle and gazi ruined it and he lost his so even though he the king became a righteous noahide so no no that's not good enough he could have been a Jew could have been a Jew and today's world they try they're they're discouraging it but that's wrong that's not what kazal taught us kazal actually taught us that we actually we should encourage people to become Jews as a matter of fact there's several there's several du there several examples in the Tor in to talk about how uh you know they would welcome non-jews they actually had special treatment for non-jews that wanted to look for the truth and unfortunately today it's very different the biggest reason for that biggest reason for that is how much persecution the Jew Jewish people have gotten uh that's one of the biggest reasons that were like a beat up kid you beat up kid after they beat you up so many times you don't want to play with them anymore you just want to leave me alone leave you alone and you know but the reality of it is that that we're not leaving them alone because if we were really leaving them alone we would have our world they would have their world okay then you're right then you have an excuse there but the reality is we're not leaving it alone because when it comes to business we associate with the G all the time when it comes to uh different hobbies and sports and things like that we associate with them all the time so how come we don't bring them closer to to Judaism that's you're 100% right we are supposed to be a lighted of Nations and we're not doing it and that's actually one of the things that I try to do and a couple of other rabbis are trying to do it uh there's a big noahide movement uh that's uh started uh by a few uh kabad rabbis there's a couple of other rabbis that are trying to encourage people to convert to Judaism myself included uh and help them uh convert I'm more interested in getting people to convert to Judaism than helping them become righteous noid because I think it's much more beneficial for everyone for for them for the world to have more righteous Jews but the general mentality is exactly like you're saying which is leave us alone we'll leave you alone we're not encouraging anyone to uh to convert we're not missionizing and if you tell people that you're going to go out there and try to get people to uh know the truth they look at you like you have five heads they look at you like what do you mean you're you're not missionizing are you like as if there's something wrong with it in reality we are supposed to do that in reality the uh we are supposed to go out there door to door and tell people listen we have the Torah you want to be a Jew good you want to be a no high good either way do something we are supposed to do it but unfortunately in the world we live in we're we're predominantly in a uh in a world full of idol worship so if we do that we'd have a lot of problems so what we're trying to do is stay quiet in some regards the uh the the other issue is the fact that there's a very very big problem within our own people meaning so many of us Jews are not keeping 80% of is do not even keep Shabbat 80% of don't say uh so the vast majority of do not keep MIT so when you tell many big rabbis you know why don't you go out there and you know recruit some it's much easier to get a to become a righteous Jew than it is to get a wicked Jew to become righteous much easier he tell him listen once I fix my own people I'll go out there that's the mentality in general based on ala it's right meaning you have to take care of the Jew before you take care of the but you can't ignore the so that's the part that we missing we are supposed to if a comes to you and he asks you for help he asks you for answers you you have to give it to him you know the Syrian Community doesn't accept I know we talked about them before I actually made a uh I made a video about uh how certain communities are anti converts and there's a the video actually uh there was a clip about a 10 minute clip or so that we made here about maybe two three months ago about a couple of stories of righteous converts uh that are students of mine that went to mikve and were uh kicked out uh in one of those Place both both communities that rejects reject converts and uh we uh actually publicize these stories and these stories have actually reached the top I just got a call uh right um after the holiday right after the holiday from AED that I'm familiar with uh trying to find the detail find out the details because the video apparently got to them and uh they said we have to this can't be if a community doesn't want to help someone convert that's their right they don't want to help them convert if you want to help somebody convert you don't have to be an expert in everything just like if you're a rabbi even if you have the uh you know let's say the SM for several different things you don't have to practice everything so if you don't want to help people convert that's your right but to reject a righteous convert it's 100% is from the Tor it's 100% of violation from the Torah at least 36 different sins at least 36 different sins are being made uh when you are going against a righteous convert to such an extent that we showed that the rambam that the rambam himself actually says when the Torah says that hem loves the convert what is he trying to teach us what is he trying to teach us he's not trying to teach us that you're supposed to just love the convert just like you love a regular Jew because that would just be the same hem is telling us 36 different times that he has special treatment for the converts he's not repeating the same law 36 times what is he saying the rambam says rambam says that you are supposed to love a convert more than a natural born Jew and to the extent of how much you love God that's how much you're supposed to love a convert that's it's not a like or you should or you'll be a if you do it no no no it's you're supposed to love a convert as much as you love God that's what the ramb says so when a community not only doesn't love a convert but rejects them embarrasses them uh kicks them out of the community kicks them out of a mikve kicks them out of a Sho puts a sign in the front of the Sho we're not you know no converts allowed and does things like that this is a place that you're you shouldn't even praying forget about be part of the you shouldn't even pray into such a place because that place is is is is is full the leader at the very least the leader is a big sinner maybe the entire doesn't agree with it but whoever put that sign allows that sign to be there which is the leader he's always blamed the blame you have to blame the leader he allows the sign to be there he's 100% a sinner because you're not allowed to go against the convert after he converted you don't want to help him before he converted that's your business you don't have to you don't have to help everybody it's fine you should but you don't have to but to reject them you're rejecting someone that's 100% Jewish even more so than you even more so than you that you have this your mother and your father and your even if you come from so that's a big problem that's being made today is that we've taken some of the things that told us and some of these lived in recent Generations uh they told us they want us you know protect us they made a Tak in certain communities they made a Tak where there was a lot of uh people within the community that were into marrying and uh they were uh encouraging non-jewish people to convert for the wrong reasons not because they were really Jewish so the RAB ranim made a law they said listen we don't know who's real we don't know who's not real we're making a Tak we're making a law that we're not accepting converts as of for now they never said we're rejecting converts they said we're not accept we're not going to convert converts ourselves so you know that if you're going to try to convert your non-jewish girlfriend or boyfriend not not here it's not going to be welcomed here that's fine that's the Tak they added a law to the law they took it and they put poop on it they ruined it so that's the problem that we have today when we take things into our own into our own words and we start uh ruining things % it's in it's also in says that in that part of the punishment is that he's going to send us to the four corners of the world so kazal asks what's good out of hem sending us to the four corners of the world because told us page 63 that everything that hem does must be for the good must be there has to be good in it so what could possibly be good out of hasem spreading us thin when you have few people but at least they're in one community at least we feel strong but you spread the few people into four corners of the world we we're small little communities Manan here Manan there you put us all in one place we feel stronger now we're in Four Corners what could be good out of that so also says that the main reason the real reason why hasem sent us to the four corners of the world is that at the end of times page 3A at the end and the beginning of 4 a 3B at the end in the beginning of 4 a says at the end of at the end of times there going to be a lot of gim it's going to be a lot of converts a lot of converts that Hashem promised them when there was mat 3,300 years ago they wanted to convert they wanted to be Jews but their people their Nation didn't want so he says I promise you because you wanted I'm going to bring you back in a generation where you're going to have an unusual circumstance an unusual life an unusual desire to be Jewish you're going to have a you're going to have an opportunity to convert when is it going to happen end of times what's happening now exactly that we're seeing more converts you could ask any bed all over the world that deals with conversions there are more conversions now than any other time in history an extraordinary amount of conversions I deal with it on a daily basis it's unbelievable so as a matter of fact this is exactly a n that's coming true as we speak it's a prophecy that's coming true as we speak that Hashem is fulfilling the promise that he made to the gim and what he said in the Torah that he's gonna send us to the four corners of the world for the good of helping us spread the spread the world to help us convert people because if we were all in Israel and there was a bunch of converts in America a bunch of converts in Africa a bunch of converts in you know different places around the world we wouldn't be able to help them but because we're in America because we're in Australia because we're in pretty much every corner in the world you could find some some Jew we're able to actually convert people so anyone that goes against such a thing is not only going against the prophecy of the end of times but it's going against theem himself uh and this is just pure foolishness yeah is it possible yeah the first three talk about how conversions used to work first three I mean there's obviously many but in the first three you'll see how how conversions used to work conversions in the old days used to be done in one day one day not uh three years not 10 years not five years one day guy comes to the sages and you see several stories in thear the there three stories inat and several other places in the Tor uh where you see the converts or go coming to the sages and saying I want to be Jewish and there's a few famous stories with sh sh you know three different G came to shamai they told him one guy said I want to learn the entire to on one foot shamai didn't have enough didn't have patience for such people he thought he was making a joke of the whole thing he kicked them out he said go go find yourself a new friend so he went to H H had the ultimate amount of patience anytime you talk about patience in the T you talk about H says okay no problem and he converted them and there's a stor three different stories of three different G that they converted um and actually all three of these gim end up getting together and uh they they all become righteous righteous uh Jews now the says that when someone comes to you and says I want to be a Jew the you're supposed to discourage them but not like they discourage them today today the uh people think that it's ala that you have to say no we're not going to help you and close a door in our face and you're supposed to do that three times this is 100% false that's not the AL it became somewhat of a in some places but it's not Al and it's actually not even recommended it's not even recommended what the actually said you're supposed to discourage him in a way where you explain to them how hard it is meaning the says you have to tell them listen you know we are the persecuted people Pam was just a few hundred years ago they killed millions of us you know that right yes you know Nazi Germany they killed killed 6 million of us 6 million Jews they killed a bunch of other people too but 6 million of us you know that right yes you know that last week you drove a Shabbat no problem you could do drive whatever you want if you drive next week if you convert now you drive next week on Shabbat San sees you they Witnesses everything death penalty they kill you there's no like you know three strikes and you're out you can't drive on Shabbat anymore you know that I know you know last week you ate it's okay now you eat death penalty yeah you show him some of these things that are hard mitv he says yes on the spot this is all interview on the spot guy came right now he says yes they convert him on the spot that's says convert him on the spot the only M the only debate is whether they convert him on the spot um meaning in a sense where it's completed the same day or it's completed after he does because usually the go in previous days didn't have soit you have to heal usually takes about a month to heal so the only debate is do they wait for his they they do bre that same day and they wait for it to heal and then he goes into the mik so that's 30 days difference could be a little less but it could be 30-day difference so is the conversion finished after the mik or is it finished that same day because he didit that's the debate either way if it's a woman converts same day bottom line is it's not like it is today the original Al is not like it is today the reason why is because there have been many fake converts that have ruined it for everyone there have been many fake converts in different communities that converted for money converted for different reasons that have ruined it for everyone plus the birth of Reform and conservative Judaism that have completely ruined uh Judaism within Juda ISM so the rabbis have decided the wise rabbis have decided to make sure that when someone is converting they're actually ready to be a Jew not just for today but just for for for every day forever and therefore they need to make sure that they have a life they're changing their life they're you know they're acclimating to the life it's not just knowledge that you can learn over a couple of months it's also a lifestyle change you know modesty for women modesty for men learning tah for men and women every day eating kosher every day not just in the house but also outside of the house because hasm is inside the house and outside the house um you know being a kosher person and so on and so forth actually living a kosher life and if you're already in a relationship if you're already in a relationship then obviously you have to make major changes meaning you can't be together for that time now everyone knows everyone's realistic and everyone knows that they can't know what's going to happen outside of the office meaning you could come tell the rabbi yeah yeah we separate we separate but the rabbi is not an idiot he knows you go home and you're probably gonna be with your girlfriend anyway so at the very least a real person will try not to at least be intimate not to be intimate for the time of the conversion obviously it's all depends on if AEM sees you're sincere he'll make enough miracles to make your conversion happen very quickly if Hashem sees that you're not ready for whatever reason or another you could take 10 years so I tell people all the time that when it comes to conversion it's there's really no timing with me what I do I bring him to the bed I'm the sponsoring Rabbi and so on and so forth I tell them there's no timing there's no time the timing depends on you how sincere you are how serious you are about conversion meaning if you're GNA study everything I tell you you're gonna study and you study it seriously you attend all the shim you watch all the sh if you can't attend because you live far away uh you are serious about Tah you make all the necessary life changes you move to a Jewish community you watch uh you watch your what you eat you watch your behavior and so on and so forth you make all the necessary changes both the behavioral part as well as the studying part what you learn the conversion can take less than a year if you're Ultra serious if you're not serious a thousand years will not be enough a thousand years will not be enough and the reason why is because when it comes to converts as much as I love them as much as I I want to help them I want to help converts not fakers so by time we arrive at the bed they have to be more religious than any Jew in America they have to be more religious than any Jew in Israel they have to be the most religious people in the world I'm not bringing somebody that's still doubting whether JC Penney is is a messiah I'm not bringing somebody to the bed de if they're still doubting whether they want to keep Shabbat or not or they're doubting whether the skirt should be covering the knee or or it should cover more you know so I'm not I'm not bring bringing people that still have doubts they have doubts you're not ready so that's that's that's the simple rule that I have there's no money there's no nothing there's money you have to pay the bed not me but the point is is that when it comes to converts you have to do everything you can to help them because in essence you're helping am Isel grow you're helping a prophecy come true and you're helping the mhia come you're bringing the mhia so when we reject converts we're doing the opposite all the things I just mentioned you're doing the opposite your Messiah stays further the uh you know everything everything is the opposite so um and actually I'll give you guys a uh that I just learned yesterday a story I heard about Rya uh it's really extraordinary it talks about the end of times and then we'll uh we'll start with the mishna any other questions or should I just start go Ahad question the wasting seed what do you mean who says this no there's no lenes whatsoever when it comes to wasting seed there's no PC in the history of Judaism that was ever lenient about wasting seed wasting seed is 100% forbidden the literally calls it the biggest sin in Judaism the biggest sin in the entire Tor and he puts it the rabf Caro puts it in a in a in a simple words so you understand he says it's like you took all the sins of the entire Tor and you violated all of them together even though you can't even make all the mitv together you have 633 mitv you can't do all of them together but you could sin against the entire to in one way how waste seed you sin you you made all the sins of toine once that's wasting Seed where did he get it from rambam rambam says the same exact thing so there's no leniencies when it comes to wasting seed um as far as the uh the issue the only leniency or or debate if you it's not a leniency the only debate that you have two sides to is whether it's as bad for Jews for non-jews as it is for Jews meaning for Jews it's 100% is it's 100% not allowed there's no leniency there's no uh 5050 there's nothing the uh when it comes to non-jews there is another thought there is a debate where they say that it's also not allowed for non-jews but is it not allowed as much as it is not allowed for Jews or is it just consider disgusting in the eyes of hem because if it's not allowed uh for non-jews as it is for Jews then you have to understand for for Jews that are wasting seed when they're wasting seed on purpose they know it's not allowed and they still do it they are going according to the the they go to the worst part of G and never leave page 17 uh talks about these people and says that even when the mhia comes the parts of Gom will end and their Gom will not end there's three different types of Sinners one of them is wasting seed on purpose so for a Jew that Wast seed there's no leniency for non Jew the leniency is is it as bad or is it just disgusting in the eyes of hem and he gets a punishment but not as great that's the only debate but as far as not allowed everybody say not allowed yeah go ahead right this is that bad Torah would be explicit now we learn this from right we learn it from Noah also you're talking a is involved and this guy purposely spills so he's just taking advantage of this it's a it's a very different scenar it's not just so how how is that possible that this is like the worst in the world now okay now if I show you that it does say it and it says it even before Ian will that be good I'll show it to you I'll show it to you so the um we talked about it in last week's sh last week's No last week sh we saw that hem said that it was a corrupt a corrupt generation destroyed the world The Story Goes where there was uh stealing going on but in reality the K we talked about last week last Wednesday we did a sh in Miami actually down the street here um and say that the real Sin according to kazal according to the Z kados according toal and several other places we talked about um the real corruption that made Hashem decide that this is a corrupt generation that has no recovery was not stealing like somebody like Joe stole 50 bucks from Steve it was when they started wasting seed so that's why after Hashem um that's why the Shabbat says that when when a male touches their male member when they're going to urinate it's like they are bringing the Maul they're bringing the Maul why because when you get become too comfortable with your own body it eventually leads to wasting seed without even doing Chua for it so we we have a clip that's going to go on B maybe later tomorrow or from that specifically talks about the wasting seed we talked about last week but just for the sake of answering this question now is uh this is before was the second time the Torah talks about wasting see the first time is in Noah after hasem brought the Maul destroyed the world he gave Noah the ability to do chva to rebuild the world now how do you do chuva for a world that's empty he says don't repeat the same sin so I'm going to give you I'm going to give you seven laws of Noah now one of the laws is do do not murder one of the laws is do not murder but in reality the Do Not murder is much more extensive than do not murder just like the 10 commandments when they say don't St don't steal it's not really don't steal from the store it's not really don't steal from the store what does it mean it means don't kidnap don't kidnap a person that's what it means so the is much more extensive than just don't murder what does it mean in no chapter n verse six to literally explain this verse it says means spill blood spills blood of a person so now we're saying person twice why it says spilling of blood of a person with within a person his blood will be spilled meaning someone that spills the blood of a person within a person his blood will be spilled is actually referring to someone who Wast seed if it if the Torah was just talking about just spilling blood he should have only said or it could have been accentuated by saying blood of a person but once you go into the P into the point of saying kazal explained to us this is specifically referring to spilling seed why because this is what caused the Maul this is what was the that's it I've had it with you moment for hem and that's why the very next verse verse seven sayem says how do we do chuv for this first don't sin second is dovah so it says so that's the don't do this don't spill the blood of a man within a man because your blood will be spilled because in the image of Hemm created man it says in you multiply so if it wasn't enough proof with those three words that he's talking about seed we have even an additional support on the very next verse because they're always connected hasem says by the way multiply multiply meaning make make more babies be fruitful and multiply so from here is actually the First Source in the Torah that we actually talk about wasting seed uh being a forbidden both for Jews and for non-jews both for Jews and for non-jews and the reason why it's so bad is because this is before even the Ten Commandments this is for all of mankind this goes against all of creation when someone waste seed they're killing theot they're daa destroying hashem's creation they're destroying the world I did a three and a half hour Shure in New York about two years ago it's a very very popular about wasting seed providing I think no less than maybe 65 75 different sources in the Torah talking about the significance of wasting seed the problem and the reason why perhaps you didn't know before this conversation is because in the English language it's just not taught it's simply not taught it's not not taught in yes it's not in most yes it's not taught it's not taught in K it's not taught in English books it's simply not taught in Hebrew it is in English it's not taught and and I mean it's definitely a but I became uh apparently the number one person that talks about this topic in English language as far as the quantity there's only three rabbis that have mentioned it that I know of uh in the English language myself ra mrai and RAB Alon NAA but out of uh let's say six or seven hours worth of material that's online uh in lectures about wasting seed I'm about 80% of it so it's a it's simply not taught even though it's the it's one of the three biggest sins in Judaism in this generation it's considered Politically Incorrect so that's why there are many books about this uh like for example by Rabon was KES spoke about this topic extensively uh said this is the tun for the generation this is the tun before the mashiach and so on and so forth um but you won't find one of his books in uh in in in English uh in in all other places the whole section of talks about wasting seed talks about how significant it is they haven't translated to English you know so unfortunately there there's very little material in English about this topic but nonetheless it is uh yeah yeah I mean he gets he gets he gets a huge reward but he can't be right he can't like can't say listen I'm not going to waste seed but I'm I'm never I'm never going to learn T I'm never going to keep kosher I'm not so yes of course he gets the reward as if he kept all the yes this is actually you get it from a the that's what they learn from sound more there's a yes there's a lot there's a lot more nothing is that P nothing is that P nothing is that simple where just because you go toit then uh all your sins are erased no so first of all it's a uh it's a to go to if it's a koser unfortunately in today's world there's very very few that areas that you should go to because there's men and women there and there's immodesty there and usually it's uh it's not it's not it's not a place for a for you to watch your eyes it's the opposite I have one told me that he had a and he wanted to invite some of his family members and he invited people even some people he haven't seen in a long time and he says one of his uh family members that apparently is is secular she came with a dress that barely covered anything barely covered anything and she runs to him wants to give him a hug she goes wow look I bought this especially for the Brit mil I bought this dress that's like a bikini especially for the Brit people are so clueless today they don't know what's right and wrong sometimes so that's a problem uh the other thing is that you have to have the people give cavod for sandak sometimes they give kot to family members to friends to people like that that are not exactly the most righteous people so the sandak has to be a uh very righteous person if you go everything righteous everything is good it's not necessarily gonna you know wipe out all your sins but it's definitely a very good schoa to get your blessings heard and then and so on but it's not you're not it's not yum it's not Yip it's not yum it's not Yip you don't you can't be a murderer a day before and then you go to and everything's okay no it's not so P it's not hear a lot of things a lot of people heard that JC peny was the Messiah he's not he's dead he's gay know that all of the sins are erased no there's no Source in the it says all the sins are erased doesn't say it doesn't say that all the sins are great right so doesn't come a place in sin doesn't mean that all of your sins are going to be erased not yum Kip even yum Kip doesn't erase all your sins even yum Kip doesn't erased all your sins so is not going to raise all your sins people like to say a lot of things so one of the things that people like to talk about a lot is mashia now today we've encouraged a lot of people to learn more Tor over the last few years a lot of people have started do CH started learn T men women Jews non-jews a lot of good things people are M getting ready for the mhia now I heard something uh just yesterday the guy that actually made the video uh we do some work with him uh from time to time and uh he sent me the video as soon as he made it which was uh a story that uh ra mutsi uh just uh published apparently recently um and Umi is one of the in Israel uh also one of the rabbis that signed a letter against the Christian Missionary by the way that we had it earlier this year anyway uh he says that he heard a story directly from radya and uh Rya told him that uh one night he was studying until about 2 o'clock in the morning and then he got tired he went to sleep and uh he had a dream about the mhia and he dreamt that the mashiah came and mashia was at the C laari the the Western Wall and there were millions and millions of Jews at the Western Wall to the point where there was no room to breathe there no room just millions of people from all over the world everyone came the mashia came the mashia is at the head and uh he's uh you know he's he's raising a flag wherever is for hasem is for me you know uh much like uh interesting uh thing and but then after that he has a meeting with the mhia and the dream goes where the mhia Tells Raad I know that am is is suffering I know am is is not is having a very difficult time but uh the reason why I'm not coming is because there are many people that know Torah but are not sharing it they know Torah they know a few things they learn Tor they go to Yesa they go to k they're religious and so on but they're not sharing it go tell all of the go tell all of the people go tell all the people that are religious to go out there and do K if they want me to come if they want me to come tell them to go out there go tell everybody that knows Tor to go do K go to people from house to house knock on doors start aite start a shi in houses don't you don't have to be a big sh to 500 people start a sh just teach them how to do teach them to eat kosher teach women how go to mik and so on and so forth get people that know Tor to stop worrying about themselves everyone's trying to become the next ra Kanki everyone's trying to become the next doador tell him to stop being so selfish and go do K that's Masia told so I didn't know about this story but it just just became uh uh famous and it's very interesting to me because I see that a lot of guys become religious they start learning T some of them decide to go to k leave their jobs go to k some of them just study on their own in their house and uh people are learning T but for whatever reason or another apparently we didn't have enough sh about not being selfish not being selfish page 17 it says anyone that learns Torah without an intention of teaching it is like someone that doesn't have a God why because the point of you learning Torah is not just for you to know it and for you to do it it's for you to fulfill it part of you fulfilling it is teaching it you can't just keep the toat to yourself so when you have 80% of doesn't even do doesn't do it 80% % doesn't keep one of the one of the one of the covenants of the Tora Shabbat 80% of doesn't eat kosher you understand the significance here 80% of your brothers and sisters are going against theem and they don't even know it for the most part and you go sitting there in your house with the coffee with the bagel you're dipping it you sh oh yeah you don't care your neighbors your C this one's going to G chapter seven this one's chapter six everyone you don't care no no I'm going to learn talk myself says you're like a person doesn't have a God why because if you had a God you would be like him meaning you would emulate his behavior hasem only gives he doesn't take he doesn't get get anything he has everything he only gives so you're learning is T you don't give anything you learn the number one most important thing in this entire world and you don't even want to share it teach somebody show somebody you can't teach you can't speak support someone that can support kiru give out CDs share lectures do something but don't think that just by you learning on your own whether it's at col it or at home or yes wherever that's enough it's not enough every single person in this room every single person that's watching this year needs to know this year each person needs to get at least 10 people to do chuva each person needs to get at least 10 people to do Chua not one and think you have G and everything's okay every person needs at least 10 people to start doing chuva every person every person watching this why there's no other way it's not enough each one of us just one it's not enough we don't have enough time every person needs to contribute time money resources words knowledge something that's going to lead 10 people to do Chua it's the only way it's the only way if every person is said no no I'll try to work on my cousin the whole year I'm working on my cousin okay what if it doesn't work what if your cousin you worked on it 10 months it doesn't work 12 months didn't work 14 months didn't work two years you work on your cousin two years didn't work then what what about the rest of am what about the people that not your cousin leave him to die leave him to nothing so people have to stop being selfish that's the number one rule you need to learn from now of course as I always tell you guys anytime you want answers anytime you want something connected to your life right at the moment you look at the and it speaks it says introduces us to abah a he says hm says to a go for yourself from the land from your relatives and from your father's house to the land that I will show you so Kaz says why did tell him go for yourself why you say why didn't you say go go why you say go for yourself go for yourself what do you mean go for yourself just tell him go go to Mexico go to Arkansas go somewhere why is it go why is it go for yourself why it says save yourself go to save yourself why everyone around you is you're not allowed to live among R says if everyone's and there's no hope of them doing Chu you have to move if there's no community that has righteous people move to the desert make the Scorpion and the snake your neighbors better than that than being surrounded by you're not allowed to be surrounded by uh by people that don't know how to behave people that go against the Tor on a regular basis in different ways modesty issues immodesty issu all that stuff not allowed you have to be in a Jewish Community with righteous people it's more expensive I know Hashem knows also it's more difficult I know hasm knows also not to compare I know because hem says the point is is that hasem knows everything and hashm is going to provide P for everything there's no excuses so also for people that want to convert that's one of the first things that they need to do they need to move to a Jewish Community without you living in a Jewish Community you cannot be Jewish cannot be Jewish why you have to be part of the Jewish Community even if you're a woman and technically you don't have to go to besset you still have to live in a Jewish Community can't live in the middle of uh you know a Montana and the horse and the cow is your neighbor you have to live in a Jewish community so says to move move away because everybody over there that you didn't convert yet that you didn't do kir on yet they're all they're gonna stay that way how do we know he did because in verse five it says the following so took took his wife Sarai and lot his brother's son and all their wealth that they have amassed and the souls they made in haran what do you mean the souls they made they made Souls the uh says that every time someone gets another person to Dov says you created him it's like you became a partner with me in creation you created that Soul why because are considered dead even in their life even when they're alive guy could be alive could be managing Casino managing Hotel managing a big uh pharmaceutical company if he's considered rash Wicked in the eyes of hem meaning he goes against AEM he's a if he's a Jew he's a violator of Shabbat or if he's a idol worshiper of some kind if he's considers him dead because the only life he has left is whatever time he has left in this world after that he's no so real life only begins after this life hasem says he's considered dead so when someone actually helps a person do chuva in essence what are they doing they're making go from dead to Alive Hashem says you created him you created him and that's why he says into the Prophet Jeremiah if you bring a precious from someone that's uh uh not good someone that's a wicked you will be like my mouth meaning is telling us that if you get somebody else to do chv your mouth will be like why my mouth why is your mouth like my mouth because you're like me I created man and you created one when you made somebody go from dead to Alive because he did chuva it's like you created man yeah before they die yeah was feels and say I what you're well I highly highly highly doubt that any R ever said that uh because that would go specifically against thear that would go against the Z that would go against the Tor you're obligated to do K it's not it's not a it's not a it's not a law that just some people are supposed to do to such an extent the gar says that rebi was jealous of his students Rabia who was also his cousin I believe he was he was jealous of Rabia why they ask why why you jealous he says because him in he can go from world to world the way he wants why because he's involved in kiru when rebi found out what it means to help a person do chuva he left everything he left everything he was doing and he started looking for for irreligious people he started looking for secular people in the streets it's not like today it's not like today where pretty much almost every single person is not religious in those days it was tough to find an irreligious Jew so imash went and started looking for non-religious people and he found one that was actually a and he made him religious and that made him content but to uh the as far as getting people to do CH it's not an opinion it's it's you could ask any major Rabbi and as far as the quote that you're mentioning I'm I am I haven't I haven't heard it before but I am certain that the r didn't say it I don't even know who it was or what it was I'm certain he didn't say it because it would be against d would be against the would be against the Tora itself it's not it's not possible for someone not to want to get simply because it says that b are considered higher than from from birth so to not help somebody be a b CH all B every single person's B cha B CH is not gonna come to you why would he come to you if he's if he's a if he doesn't know he doesn't know he's missing it if some someone that's the rambam says that someone that's sinning someone that's sinning against theem he considers him spiritually sick why is he spiritually sick because in essence you have a hand that feeds you you have AEM that feed you and you're spinning in his face obviously you're crazy obviously there's something wrong with you if someone is feeding if you're sick you're a sick person Shalom you can't move and the nurse comes to you and she gives you food what are you going to say thank you at the very least you're going to say thank you you're not going to go hey start cursing her out why say Okay die then want to curse me out die what are you gonna do say thank you at the very least you say thank you if now you're gonna be quiet you're definitely not going to go against the hand that feeds you so someone that's sinning against hem rambam says he's spiritually sick spiritually sick now when someone is sick everything tastes the opposite opposite to them so for example when someone is sick physically sick something that's sweet doesn't always taste sweet something that's bitter doesn't always taste bitter something that's salty doesn't taste salty one time my wife God bless her uh she uh she was she had a cold and uh we ordered pizza and uh she always likes to put some stuff in our pizza and uh she put a bunch of stuff more than normal on our pizza and uh she was enjoying it like was the greatest thing in the world I like well you got to have a bite you got to have a bite out of this pizza sure know seeing how much she's enjoying it I took the pizza and I took a bite and immediately I spit the thing and I wanted to throw the pizza across the room it was like the worst it was full of salt it was like masas like to me it was like poison I'm like what's wrong with you she goes why it's delicious like a she's sick sick physically sick so some someone that is uh physically sick everything tastes the opposite to them someone that's spiritually sick also they think that their sins are good for them they think that gambling is a good thing they think that stealing is a good thing they think that being an adulterer is a they think that their sins are good for them they're spiritually sick so to say that we should wait for that person to come to us is not normal thing to expect from a person because he doesn't know he's sick unlike physically sick where you're of symptoms you have a cold you have a like right now if you see my voice you could see there's something wrong when you're spiritually sick you don't know there's something wrong why cuz everyone else is Also spiritually sick everyone else is also sick no one knows there's only a few that know so to say we're going to wait for all the sick people to come to us that's a not not not a real realistic uh da yeah okay so waiting for them to want it so so I I'll give you an example from an atheist there was an atheist a very famous atheist who was an extraordinarily successful businessman stupid as can possibly be for thinking that everything came from nothing but he was an extraordinarily successful businessman to the point that he became a billionaire and had he been alive now he would probably be I would say probably the richest man in the world and now this businessman what made him successful what was his thing that he was he smarter than everybody else no not necessarily was he uh what what was was so special about him he understood the consumer better than anyone else and understood that the consumer wants what you tell him to want the consumer wants what you tell him to want not he doesn't have an opinion you tell him what his opinion is meaning if one day you tell him listen today the greatest thing in the world is an iPhone he's going to want an iPhone if tomorrow you tell him the greatest thing in the world is I don't know uh some uh Google phone he's going to want a Google phone he's not going to want an iPhone before he knew that an iPhone existed he's not going to know it existed he's not going to want it he's not going to want a computer before you told him that a computer exists he's not going to want your program before he knew your program existed he's not going to want it because he doesn't know it exists you are going to create it and then you're going to convince him to want it that was his genius that's what made him successful obviously in the hands of Hashem even though he was an atheist and didn't believe in the hands of fedom and that's why the hand that fed him also killed him because with all of the billions that he had he couldn't fix a simple liver and his name was Steve Jobs so if we're all going to wait for people to want to do chuva we might as well pack our bags and get ready for us to be punished also because no one is just going to wait and wait and wait and then one day wake up and say you know what I want to do Chua let me look for my local Rabbi you have to tell them they want it why because you have to explain to them that they're missing something they don't know that they're missing something you have to understand in the eyes of a secular person being religious looks terrible in the eyes of a secular person you keeping Shabbat means you're losing one day out of the week he doesn't understand or she doesn't understand that Shabbat is fun Shabbat is a vacation Shabbat is a part of Shabbat is extraordinary she doesn't understand that they think what do you do you just eat sleep what's so much fun about that until you experience Shabbat like you're supposed to it looks terrible to him Kosh of food looks limited he says I can eat cheeseburgers this burger and that burger and this burger why would I eat the kosher food he doesn't understand that when you have kosher food it not only helps your body it also helps your n makes you spiritually healthy you can now have a clearer brain when you're trying to learn T he doesn't understand that take time out every day to pray to God is a good thing he thinks you're just wasting two hours three hours of your day every day praying to something you can't even see he doesn't understand what it means until you show them that when you pray you feel significant you feel like you're talking to to the Creator he doesn't understand that learning Torah is good for him he's like oh I'm just going to learn Harry Potter I'm going to learn history I'm going to learn this I'm going to learn that what's so different about Torah he doesn't understand that the Torah has both a physical and a spiritual impact on you so until you tell him and show him he's not going to know he wants it he's not going to know he wants do cha until he does it until he show so if we're all waiting for people to want to do Chua we're in a bad we're in a worse situation than I thought before we started this lecture yeah hard not can't hard yes hard 100% that's why the Z says if a person knew how significant it is in sh to get a person to do cha they would leave everything that they're doing in their life their work their life their kids their wife their husband usband they everything they would leave everything and they would chase a person for 70 years seven meaning a full life they would chase a person one person 70 years just to get that one person to do chuva and if they did it their life was worthwhile one person they talking about one person you get one person to do chuva he says in 70 years your whole life seven years now you could do get people do chuva in the middle of the street I get people do cha every single day every single day somebody says me let I did cha why I saw sh I saw a lecture I saw somebody sent him that lecture somebody sent him that CD somebody showed them what I said sometimes it's not even what I said it's something that somebody else said that we sent them sometimes it's the KY package sometimes it's the CD from RI some it's something you get people do chuva every day every single day every single day you get people do chuva you tell me you can't get people do Chu in s years can't get people do CH in seven months in seven days hard 100% I have more enemies than this entire room put together including the people watching online hard 100% Satan hates me not hates me because I did something person I'm stealing his employees so I have a lot of T Teem T nonstop you you just every one of them has a tun every one of them has problems but they keep going they're strong why because they understand what T says get somebody to do the Torah says you get a person do get 310 worlds in there's actually a section in that even a someone that was born with the in his hands born with the in his hands you know by heart of kki St his entire life he's in learned the entire thing my heart 90 120 years he can't get into that section of ganeden he can't get into that section of why it's only for people that help people do Chua you little old you we just started doing Chua a few years ago only 20 years old only 15 years old only 30 years old only whatever you are don't know nothing like the S don't know nothing like the kvki you don't know like them you could have a section bigger than them why y yeah people do this is not me this is not I'm saying it's not my opinion because I'm in this this is says this I made a whole lecture about this or several lectures about this with sources from the T so people need to understand that we learn about kiru from abah ainu abah ainu over here it says they left after hasm told him to leave they left they brought their family they brought their you know his nephew his wife he brought his money brought his sheep brought his cows brought everything but what else did he bring he brought all of the souls that he made inan so kazal says what does it mean he brought all the souls they made in Khan Rashi says the souls refers to Those whom he had who they converted to become monotheistic to have faith in hem AB converted the men and Sarah converted the women so he here we see that each one of these people was as if AB ainu created them now there's a big T thatu went through in his life it says that all of the people all of these Souls eventually fell off all of these Souls eventually they went back and they didn't continue worshiping Hashem except one except one Soul who is that Soul elz elz was the son of nimrod which by the way there's also another name the real name of nimr does anyone know it does anybody know his real name now that's how we got the name n that's why it's not his real name what's his real name his real name Israel's name Israel is mentioned in chapter 14 of this week and it says and it says it happened in the days of king of shal this is during the the war of the Four Kings against the five Kings and the head of of the team that in essence uh is actually page 53a says is really Nim why was he called Nim because Nim went against hem he went to war against Hashem he made himself into an idol he went made himself into an idol and uh but he was smart enough that after he saw that abah ainu was is kados he told his son go be a servant for him it's better than being a king with me and he sent his son Eleazar to be with abah ainu and just to give you an idea of who we're dealing with here is that elar according to T got to a point where he's one of 10 people that went to geden alive he never died he never died and after lot was taken after they they went to war the Four Kings against the five Kings and uh the uh Four Kings won and they because they knew that lot abah A's uh nephew was abu's nephew they said let's kidnap him so AB went after them AB went to war against them and it says the uh was this is actually the source of what we know that was alive from the Maul and was still alive after they call him pit because he ran away from the uh War he was one of the uh uh that escaped the battle pit means fugitive and there came The Fugitive and told AB The Who dwelt in the place of mamre the Amorite the brother of es and the brother of an these being A's allies he told them that they kidnapped lot and when AB heard that his Kinsman meaning lot was taken captive he armed his disciples who had been born in his house 318 and he pursued them as far as done so it says that abah ainu went to war against all four of these Kings with what with 318 of his of his people but kazal says he didn't actually have 38 people what did he have elzar elzar gatria the numerical value of elzar 318 so was aam and elzar elzar got to a point where was spiritually strong enough to kill all of them abah and him they killed all four Kings killed everybody value 318 so that's the level of elzar how he got to that's the level of RA that's the student of Abu he's the only one that stayed everyone else that used to be religious they got him to do chuv they fell off why they fell off why they fall off they stopped coming to they came they followed six months a year they did chuva they said okay I'm GNA go study on my own I'm gonna go studying on my own I'm gonna go to a different Rabbi I'm going to go to a different Shure I'm going to go learn on YouTube I'm going to go do this I'm G to do my own thing I'm not going to go to the fire that got me to do chv I'm GNA go on my own I'm fine I did CH I keep Shabbat I keep I keep fine knew it's not just the initial treatment the initial shock that gets you to become alive it's the followup that's where he stayed that's where he stayed and that's where he got to become someone that's such a each each kados that went to geden Alive Al that we go there dead at least he went what he he got trapped by a out what tried to kill K look at I don't know everything I just know what I tell you mid heard that midash I haven't heard it nice never heard it yeah no he wasn't holier than he was just as holy as he can get to he got to the highest level he can possibly get to um so here we see that abam understood the value of kiru understood the uh Power that it gives you both in this world and the next we also have another proof in this week's par that kept the entire Tora where after the war it says in a uh Chapter 14 verse 20 uh andu says and blessed is God the most high uh well actually they saying to to abah bless his God is the most high who delivered your foes into your hands and Abraham and he gave his tithe of everything so here the uh Tor says that after abrah ainu beat all of these people he took all of their money and he gave 10% to shim to the son of Noah who was called maled also called maled he was like theen he was like the head uh head Rabbi and he gave him 10% so here we see that abah ainu was following the oral Tor already before Mount saai so now all of this is a nice intro to the mishna we see that kiru is something that is very much a extraordinary part of our lives that we need to make a at least we need to make it an extraordinary part of our life we see already from the days of abrah ainu before the written and the oral Torah was officially giving was already followed by abah ainu um so we see that the were not creating something out of thin air everything was has a source now the problem today is that sometimes you have people that will learn tah and not because they want to follow what Hashem says but instead they're looking for excuses they're looking for gray areas they're looking for ways to beat the system they looking for ways to beat the system so the ramban called these people naal despicable with permission from the Torah so how do we get there sometimes these people do it intentionally uh sometimes they do it not intentionally sometimes it's somebody that goes to that's like you know just wants to sin and he violates the Torah intentionally he looks for gray areas and he says oh no listen it's not clear here so therefore I'm allowed to do this this and this like the guy that you said um he's asking about wasting seed or he's asking about having sex with you know Jews having sex with non-jews is it allowed maybe it's not clear I haven't seen it yet and because he hasn't seen it therefore it's allowed like people think that if they haven't seen something or they haven't learned something therefore it must not exist as if they know everything everyone thinks they know everything most people think almost everybody thinks they're much greater than what they really are most people have a ego issue and they think they're much smarter than they are much better looking than they are and in general they just think they're much better than they are much holier than they are so if you tell them something that's a unless they accept you as a person that's going to provide them a k you know something new unless they see you as someone that can provide such a thing if they don't know you they say no I don't think I don't think that's true why don't you think that's true because I haven't heard it I haven't heard it like one time we when we talked about the uh the big rabbis passed a new Al that uh wigs are not allowed that are made from real hair one Rabbi in New York says no no I think he made it up he thought that I forged the letter the letter and uh I asked the guy that told me why does he think that I forged the letter first of all I'm not the one that wrote the letter my name is not even on the letter and I didn't send him the letter why why does he even connect it to me and he says well the only thing he says why didn't they come to me like why didn't I know about this why is he the only one cuz I was publicizing it I was publicizing the letter on the internet and so on that this came out and he says why didn't these big rabbis let me know like who is he it's not like he's like a big he's a nobody so people think they're much greater than what they are so if they don't know something therefore it must not be true so so sometimes people violate the Torah because of their ego but sometimes they violate the Torah because they're lazy they're lazy so if someone is violating the Torah because of their ego then obviously they're rash but what about the people that are violating the Torah because they're lazy just don't feel like studying they don't feel like doing chuva they don't feel like learning all of theat I'm tired i' rather play video games rather watch sports rather uh go walking in the park I feel like learning to what about those people rud says be meticulous in study meaning study of Torah for careless misinterpretation is considered T amount to willful transgression IE it means if someone makes a careless mistake as a result of their studying or lack thereof their accidental sin their Gaga is not considered Gaga it's considered like they did it on purpose meaning the same law of the land applies in shamay what law is that every country whether it be America Israel or anywhere else in the world a civilized world has a law ignorance of the law does not absolve you from the law meaning the fact that you did not know that we have a speed limit of 65 miles an hour does not mean that you're not bound by that law doesn't mean that you're allowed to drive 90 because you didn't know there's a 65 miles hour speed limit the fact that you didn't know that we don't allow murder does not allow you to murder the fact that you don't know that we don't allow to do drugs does not mean that you're allowed to do drugs ignorance is not Bliss ignorance does not help you not in the law of the land not in the law of sham this is the is telling you if you're going to be one of those people that says listen doesn't it say somewhere didn't I hear from somewhere that if you don't know then it's considered accidental it's considered accidental if you don't know you can't be judged like you go you don't you know that only applies if you don't know unintentionally meaning if you're studying every day you're trying your best you're studying every day you're trying to do the will of hem but you just didn't get to that Al yet you didn't get to it yet you have let's say for example I gave the example a few times let's say theat is three different books three different big books and let's you're studying but you didn't get to the third book which is the one that has the issues about what are the things that you're allowed to violate Shabbat for you didn't get to it you already read one and a half book you didn't get to the third book yet you're in the second book you didn't get to it yet and let's say the mashia shows up or you go already it's time for you to go to Sham go to G then but you made a few violations that are in the third book in your life they're not going to judge you that you did them on purpose why because you just didn't get to it you tried but you didn't get there yet but if you just decide I don't feel like studying and instead of studying Shabbat you read comic books or instead of studying Al Shabbat you played video games or you watched the uh NBA finals or you watched uh a bunch of people beat themselves up on TV on the NFL or UFC or boxing or something else instead of learning Torah that's what you did with your time all the time not just once in a blue moon all the time says this is not accidental this is purposeful sin why is it purposeful sin because you purposefully did not learn to when you could have I gave you time to do what you need to for your life you need to work you need to eat you need to drink you need to go to the bathroom you need to be with your wife you need to be with your husband fine I gave you time for that but then there's 24 hours in a day there's some time you need to learn to you didn't dedicate time to learn to in that time you have you dedicate to nonsense your sins are on purpose no if once once a person does Chua they're considered a baby same thing like a convert a convert or B cha are not considered Like Somebody That was supposed that like someone that a knew everything already so for example someone that was born into a religious family is going to be judged differently than someone that just woke up to the Torah at the age of 30 why he lived in like uh in in uh in the Greenland with with the with the uh with with the Bears and there's no people he doesn't know he's Jewish no then he's an he's then he's a because his best friend is the is the polar bear and the Penguin he's not considered he's not considered anything he's he's considered that you know something that hem made as just for just to make this uh example of yours but doesn't actually exist in real life you know it's like for example people that are anti U that are an anti abortion or they pro-abortion they're pro-abortion so what they try to do is they tell people that are anti-abortion to tell people you shouldn't kill babies their real life even though it's inside the woman's stomach it's still a very much a living being the fact that you can't see it does not change the fact that it's a living being after 40 days it's 100% a living human being 40 days has has everything the fact that you can't see it because there a stomach the skin that's covering it is irrelevant if you took it out of the stomach you see it move move it sees it hears has everything but people say no no you should allow people to have abortions because maybe the woman was raped by her father and she's uh you know and uh you know and and she she doesn't want to have the baby cuz they a remind her of uh this uh you know of this situation her whole life in reality in reality this is like the example that they like to give you to make life seem like it's the most miserable situation in the world as if this stuff happens every day okay uh to that one example where someone was raped by a family member and they don't have any money and they're crippled and they're homeless and they're the worst and they're going to be remembered they're going to be you know tarnished for the rest of their life that's a one in a zillion the vast majority of people that are having abortions had intimacy with someone because they wanted to they didn't want to get pregnant but they wanted to have sex that's why they have an abortion they're not having an abortion because their father raped them or because their uncle or their brother or some horrible crazy example that people like to give as the banner example of why you should kill a million people a week so that's the thing the example of the person that lives in in in Greenland and his best friend is the polar be and his cousin is the is is the is the Penguin yes if that exists he's absolved from all MIT does that example actually exist in real life no doesn't actually exist in real life if someone does don't worry about hem will know how to deal with them somehow hasem is going to take care of him I'm sure hasem knows how to run the world he's been here for a while but for the rest of us that live in Civilization everyone knows what Judaism is even the go know what Judaism is as a matter of fact people celebrate their hatred for Judaism sometimes even when they're Jewish as a matter of fact Recent research that I did confirmed that the biggest missionaries in the world to Christianity to Idol of of of of Christ Christianity are actually Jews unfortunately so people hate Judaism they celebrate it therefore they know what exists whether they're secular or they're anti or they're religious so for a person to live their whole life in modern society in a civilized World outside of Greenland outside of the polar bears neighborhood he knows that Judaism exists therefore he knows that there's something called Shabbat therefore he may not know all the rules he may not know all the but he knows something exists he knows that there's a God at least that people believe that there's a God he know that there is certain MIT at least you know there something that person cannot play the ignorant card he can't say no no I wasn't religious because uh I wasn't born religious and the reason why is because the biggest most important people that ever existed in Judaism and in the world World At Large were also not born religious one of them R says page 49 that Raba wasn't just not religious he hated religious people hated them before he did Chua he hated religious people he would want to bite them like a donkey bites and the students ask him know you mean like a dog because no no no like a donkey when a dog bites he just bites the flesh when a donkey bites he crushes the bone that's how much I hated religious people so the were both converts they were both born into Idol worshipping families they weren't uh born into these people became the the heads of the Generations before R aka before R AKA R AKA is the student of the student of the students of came from converts I mean it's it doesn't end doesn't end the biggest convert in history biggest convert in history male who was it before unus was the biggest Idol worshipper in the world he tried all idol worship everything everything if it moved or it didn't move he woried it tried it didn't work out tried something else section this week he's Idol worshiping this this week Idol he tried everything eventually became B cha became a sadik converted to Judaism got to a point where him and his sons all got to a level of having keshes so they also didn't know they also weren't religious they also had T you can't play that card forever that's what this mishna is about that's what this is about it says to claim this uh this oh you you made an accidental sin and uh because you didn't know you can't play the ignorance card can't play it so the uh few things we learned I mean we already gone through a lot but we'll try to finalize quickly first and foremost who is this rabud why do we need to listen to him any time it mentions in the Tor in the rud it's referring to Rudi had two major rabbis really three but uh two are specifically mentioned one was RAB AKA was his Rabbi the second one in is Page 20 talks about and also Al the third one is rabar B aaria but the two main ones when in his childhood was RAB ton and then later on was rabi Akiva and the main reason we mentioned this is simply because both of these rabbis were at the time they were teaching him were extraordinarily Rich thear says that R AKA got to become one of the richest PE p people of the land out of six different sources of money kala is uh his father-in-law was one source and then several than uh one of his wives and so on and so forth he got rich in several different ways after AEL died he remarried and he uh and he uh got wealth from her and so on and so forth so he got to become very very rich um also became extremely rich why do we mention this because rabud at the point of his life actually was in a generation of poverty to such an extent that thear says that he lived in a generation where page 208 says that he lived in a generation where six people would share one one talit six people share one talit today it's one person has six but he had all the excuses in the world to not only not be religious to be empty his Rabbi was rich he did all the things he listened to everything as Rabbi says he had nothing at one point thear says he had to share a jacket it was only one jacket for him and his wife the all house one jacket they had to share it whoever was leaving the house could wear a jacket if you didn't have the jacket couldn't leave the house so raan gel uh heard about this and wanted to give him a coat wanted to give him something and says no says he said no no I don't want to enjoy this world I can get it I don't want to enjoy this world meaning he understood the significance of money his rabis had money but he understood even more learning T from poverty learning t with all of the all the excuses in the world of why you shouldn't learn I have pain I don't have any money I have stress this that who doesn't have excus for learning T who can learn t as much as they want here anybody have no have no problems when you learn T everybody has a problem you want to learn T all of a sudden somebody calls you want to learn T all of a sudden Somebody's knocking on the door somebody needs your time all day they don't want anything from you you learn T they want something from you all of a sudden you're tired all of a sudden you're hungry all of a sudden you to go to the bathroom so you had all the excuses in the world even more than us why you had no money but he got to the point where anytime it mentions in the the 103b says it's talking about rabuda anytime it says something happened with a certain doesn't say the name something happened with a certain meaning a certain Pious person a special Pious person higher than normal not like today everyone that has payers in a black hat is Aid means someone that does above and beyond the Law whatever is he does more whatever hasem wants he does more so it's like you're supposed to come pray in the morning at 6 o'clock in the morning he shows up at 3:00 a.m. why he wants to learn a few hours of tah before before he starts the day every one says the rabbi say you should give you should give at the very least you give 10% of your money for for for k for for for something he no he says no I'm giving I'm giving 20% that's the attire as far as black and white all that stuff that's only in recent Generations that didn't exist exist back then so it says anytime it says that a certain event happened for some Pious person some it's talking about rabud so just so you understand that the is almost 2,700 Pages 2,700 the Pim which is really 5400 it's double there are I mean an endless amount of I don't even know how many are in there how many stories are in there how many people are I mean it's endless you could read it a thousand times and still get more and more and still not know one % of what's in there there are hundreds hundreds of that were made from uh from um Ruda over 600 as a matter of fact according to this info over here says over 600 are quoted in Mish in his name 600 specifically by rud so the is extensive the mishna is extensive he's one of the five students that R AKA restarted the Torah world with one of the five students meaning our entire oral Torah he's one of the people that we depend on in addition to that anywhere in the entire mishna it says it's talking about him you know what kind of description that is that's like in in in anytime you say anyone say servant of hm immediately you thinku anytime you mention imagine that kind of description if I mean you think about it if the if a king of Flesh and Blood even knows your name it's already a big deal for him to write you in a book for him to give you description in the book on top of that imagine so that's rud and that's despite the poverty that he had he uh was famous for saying a few different things a few examples I'll give you because we're running out of time uh you could Know a Man based on his on based on his cup his pocket and his anger meaning you can measure a Man based on how he behaves once he's drunk based on how he behaves as far as his money if he's uh generous or stingy and based on how he behaves once you get him angry a lot of people look good A lot of people dress good sometimes you go to be everyone looks like a everyone looks like a little especially like during the you in the holidays everyone wears a talit everyone looks tadik they came from Mount sa amazing somebody steps on somebody's foot all of a hey oh all of a sudden you have World War so says you have to look at a few things in order to know where somebody stands number one how does he behave when his liquor in front of him is he one of these fools that gets drunk or is he a person that just you know takes a yine you know for K has a little sip knows when there's too much too little knows how to control is his he knows when to drink when not people that like to drink on a regular basis a lot of people think that becoming drunk is a part of Shabbat it's not a part of Shabbat it's absolutely not a part of Shabbat some of these kot that have special drinking binges on Shabbat that's AEM it's not Shabbat to tell people that Judaism is connected to being a drunk fool is the people say no no we're trying to bring him to sh so bring in a bunch of liquor it's better not bring them why because what do they do they come they become drunk and they show up to to B they pray like that they allowed to pray drunk you're not allowed to pray drunk not allow to pray uh uh High not allowed so they have these uh these sessions these different kot are trying to encourage people to come to B it with different strategies and uh I don't know some of these strategies are worse than others I mean I've heard some of the people that having Mas like they have like a liquor Closet in theet and people already start drinking in the morning in sh sh they're drinking sh they're drinking scotch and they go they think it's okay to go pray that way this is this is a place you're not even allowed to go inside a shoe like that not even allow to pray there not to go inside there so person that is such a person that drinks on a regular basis obviously I don't have to tell you what kind of person he is he's not the guy you want in your side especially not when you need person that's stingy a person that's stingy according to the Torah hasem hates him why does AEM hate a person that's stingy he says he's the opposite of me I only give he only takes and doesn't want to give he takes the money that I give him he doesn't want to give it to my children my T people learned Tora people that get people to come back to me he doesn't want to share it so he's the opposite of me I give him everything and he doesn't want to share anything and a person that's angry anyone that's angry according to the Shabbat says that person that's angry is like Idol worshiping so R says these are a few things the other thing that rud says page 16 is connected to this week's tells that he's going to bless him he's going to bless those that bless him he's going to uh um curse those that curse him but the same applies to his descendants same applies to his children and his grandchildren and so on and so forth and abah asks hem how do I know that I'm going to inherit this land that my descendants are going to inherit all of this and hasm tells him your descendants are going to be like the sand they're going to be like the stars it's not going to be an end to them just like you can't count the sand on the beach just like you can't count the Stars that's going to be your descendants so gave a p gave a commentary on this specific PUK on this specific thing says what does it mean why did hem say to that am is going to be like the stars and the sand if he was specifically talking about the number there going to be a lot of us then why don't he just say one of them say we're going to be like sand or say we going to be like stars why give both examples why give both examples so says he says when a Jew is looking for the truth is following what hasem says he has the potential to be as great as the stars get to the highest level above creation he is Superstar when a Jew is looking for excuses when a Jew is a when he's despicable with the permission of a Tor he could become worse than the Nazis just like the bottom of everything else whatever the worst people are he's below them he's the sand he's worse than the worst that's R the same rud saying this so the key is that a person needs to know there this person is not a person that just was uh born religious and had an easy life this is a person that had to go through many trials and tribulations no less than any of us but he got to the highest level now here he's deciding that out of all the things that he can teach out of all the Mish that he can teach he's teaching us this be careful in your study be meticulous because careless misinterpretation is going to lead to a willful transgression so the mid is applying this specific teaching to students it says I'm sorry uh it's applying this to specifically to teachers and saying anyone that's learning to that's teaching tah has to be careful to convey whatever you're teaching whatever lessons you're teaching in a in a way that the student is not going to misinterpret it the student is not going to misin you're going to have you're going to teach something you're going to teacher whatever it is you're going to teach things but you have to make sure that you're clear as a teacher now this is twofold a lot of times you have some you know people that teach Torah but unfortunately they don't know how to empathize empathy means you're putting yourself in somebody else's shoes so as a teacher in order for you to be a good teacher whether you're a speaker a public speaker a private teacher in school for children for adults whatever it is in order for you to be a good teacher you need to put yourself in the student shoes if you were the student would you understand you and the problem is that sometimes a teacher can easily forget that and a teacher could easily assume that the students know everything he's talking about when in reality all of the students dumbfounded they have no idea what he's talking about they look at him they go like this the whole time they have no idea what he's talking about what are they saying yet to yeah yeah time is going she was almost over she was almost they have no idea what he's talking about no idea the good thing is with schools is that eventually you find out if they know or don't know because you get tests but in real life as a rabbi and Kil and stuff like that you don't know if people understand what you're saying or not you don't know that's why it's important to get the people to get involved to talk to them privately to talk to them before after the to get them to ask questions to do as much as you possibly can to see where people stand to see where people stand and also make it a very welcoming type of environment where they feel comfortable to ask questions because the sh is for them it's not for you as a teacher now if you're assuming that people know things you're making the biggest mistake in teaching and the reason why is because assuming that your students know anything at all is a mistake and the reason why is because even if you have let's say for example 100 students and 99 of them know everything you're talking about but one doesn't you have to teach the one you have to teach as if the one guy that doesn't know is the only guy in class you have to teach aure as if it's him that doesn't know that everybody's like him so when a lot of people they teach and sometimes I I make this mistake also sometimes uh maybe more than I think but I know that sometimes people say uh oh you remember this the the story that we said about RAB AKA oh you remember the story that we said about Moshe remember and we assume that the crowd knows what you're talking about because you're in a mindset when you're teaching you're in a mindset of course the story will be a you're connecting a million and a half things in your mind but the crowd has no idea what you're talking no I don't who's RAB AA forget about who the story about who's Raba is he is he is heab is he breast liver where is he like a lot of people don't know so to assume that people know these stories or know these or know anything is a mistake if you're going to say something say the whole thing from beginning to end worst casy scenario you're reminding people of what they already know best case scenario they don't know and you taught them something new that you didn't even intend to teach them so it's very very important that when you're setting examples you're telling people oh you know the story don't give citations like give all this and give the background unless it's m irrelevant which why you're mentioning in the first place but you're supposed to when you're teaching supposed to try to give the whole story and I find myself sometimes I mentioned a story and I really only want to say like the first three words of the story I don't really want to say the whole story because I really want to go into a different point but I force myself to say the whole story because then I think about you and I'm like maybe they don't know the story even though I said the story in one of my many lectures maybe you didn't watch the lecture who says you watched all my lecture how arrogant of me to think that you actually watched every one of my lectures how arrogant of me to even think that you watched any of my lectures so that's M for myself so anytime that I met mention a story sometimes I really don't want to mention the whole story but I force myself to do it because I remember myself like why would they know the story if they didn't hear from me where would they hear it from maybe they heard from somewhere else but maybe they didn't why do I think they know it and I go and my to this whole time I'm looking at you you guys think that I have this like I know what I'm G to say I have no idea what I'm goingon to say on top of it I'm battling myself of whether you know don't know what I'm about to say so it's an interesting battle so that's so that's one thing that's reminding the people reminding the teachers the other thing is is that this mishna also is a reminder for the students know that you need to be a student unfortunately today's world no one wants to be a student everyone wants to be a rabbi everyone wants to be a teacher everyone wants to to teach no one wants to learn anything and it's a problem cuz you have many people that are brand new they just started doing chuva six months a year two years three years and then you have somebody that's been doing it for a little longer whether it's a year longer or 20 years longer and they want to teach him something like no no I know I know I know I know I know how do you know you know I haven't started talking yet I know I know I know I know do I need do I need to say I know I know you know I know no one wants to be a student it's like they feel like being a student is a bad thing but in the Torah World anyone that knows T is called meaning a wise student why are they wise because they know that they have to be a lifelong student so this is a reminder that if you're going to learn you have to learn seriously not just superficially don't just breath through the that's why it's to read the weekly twice normally and once with commentary even though you've read it 50 times before even if you read it a thousand times even if you only read it once even if you never read it even if you're newly religious even if you're religious your whole life bottom line is you have to read the parasha as a male you have to read the parasha twice normally and once with commentary minimum Rashi have to every week it's it's more important than anything else have to why even if you read it even if you know it even if I know you have to do it why because there's always going to be something new always going to be something new you always got to get sharper always got to get sharper you always got to get sharper it's it's the way it is you have to do it so the next thing is if one erors in his understanding and his application of Torah laws because of carelessness his offense is not pardonable as an unwitting error he will be punished as if he deliberately transgressed since he should have studied carefully but did not this is Rashi so this is what we already went over before says someone that just decides he doesn't feel like studying and Sh they're judging him as if he did it on purpose he didn't study on purpose meaning they said listen this is Shabbat you're gonna need this for this Shabbat he says no I don't feel like doing it says Ah he violate Shabbat because he God didn't want to learn that's how they judge him in sh we gave it to him I gave him the book I gave himat he says no I want to watch the game I want to watch baseball I want to watch football I want to watch I don't know horse races want to do something that's not this and then he violate Shabbat because of it said sh they're gonna violate oh it's now what's the difference what's the difference if you violated Shabbat accidentally versus if you violate Shabbat on purpose if you violated Shabbat accidentally ly it's an accidental sin of course there's a punishment of course you have to pay the bill but but that bill has an end if you violated Shabbat on purpose without doing cha then you're in the same place Shalom as the person that Wast seed on purpose which means eternal suffering there's no for that person there's only G that never ends so the difference between accidental and purpose and on purpose is huge of course both are terrible violating Shabbat either way is terrible but if you violate Shabbat because you just didn't know this one Al because you didn't get to it yet or you forgot or something like that okay there's a punishment for it but that punishment there's a price that ends at some point whatever it is it ends at some point but if it's on because you didn't feel like studying so now therefore that's judged as if you did it on purpose as if you said to hem Hashem I don't want to keep Shabbat da I don't want to keep it that punishment doesn't end you imagine this is this is this is this this is a different of one second can determine if a person is not going to have one second why that person you're gonna give him listen let's go let's learn n no I'm gonna watch the World Series what that's it that's what happens said no watch right now half hour half hour then you watch whatever you want no no I'm gonna watch the baseball game I'm G to watch the football game I watch something and dka he was going to learn what he needed to know for this Shabbat he violates the Shabbat then B he dies Sunday he di Sunday and Shabbat that half hour that second decision changed everything now of course it's an extreme example no different than the abortion example we gave before or the guy that lives with the nextdoor neighbor being a polar bear but this example that I'm giving is very much a real example not necessarily dies the next day but just it's a real example that people can lose their in a second it's a decision it's a one second decision so this mishna is telling us that anyone who does not sin anyone who doesn't study and sins because of incomplete study is regarded as a a negligent bordering unwillful since he could have avoided the sin this is and says that an Inver uh that this also applies to the teachers meaning if the teacher is the reason why he sinned this is actually a rebuke for all the teachers if the teacher speaks and a teacher taught him wrong like this uh rash that's uh has long payers that's telling people that the wife doesn't have to go to the mik or that uh H yeah oh yeah he's now he's now a uh n now he says God speaks to him now he says God speaks to them and told them thank you uh so this idiot that uh that's a that the days of they would actually kill him it tells people that if your wife doesn't feel like going to mik it's okay you could still be with her or if your wife wants to go to the beach on Shabbat you should drive it for schom like somebody like that this the says that his students his students that are making sins because of him all of those sins go to him all of theat go go to him all of the uh the violations go to him everything goes to him why because he wasn't careful he wasn't careful with theot coming out of his mouth he wasn't careful with the that were coming out of his mouth so the uh also they also get punished but he also gets punished they also get punished because he's he's not the only source they are obligated to L look for the truth you can't just rely on One Source you have to con you have to constantly learn Tor so anyone that learns Tor knows that everything he says even if you somebody that learns once a week knows that everything this guy says is complete it's complete nonsense it's he talks an hour 55 minutes complete even though it's only obvious for five out of the out five minutes out of the hour it's only five minutes you notice that it's but in reality the whole thing is it's complete nonsense what he talks about yeah I mean he's creating a new religion my my uh my uh uh prediction if you will from the first time I heard about him or heard of him or about maybe a a year and a half ago two years ago whatever it was is that eventually he's going to create a new religion he's pretty much there right now he's creating a he's created a new religion and uh it's going to continue getting worse and worse and uh unfortunately this guy is a because it's a big deal it's a big deal to get to that point but whatever it's not my job to put people on the point is is that anyone that listens to a teacher and what they're saying doesn't agree with anyone else they're saying something that no one else ever said it's your obligation as the student as the one that heard it to double check maybe he's wrong you can't just say no I heard this Rabbi say you're allowed to drive on Shabbat to take your wife on to the beach therefore it's true no my friend you can't take that to sh and say it's okay why this this he says you have to be double check everything that's why the page 110 says when you teach your own son your own son from a you first start teaching your own son T make sure you teaching him from a what's a a means a a book that you've double checked that doesn't have any mistakes you double your own son you have all the time in the world with him says even if he's your own son you have all the time in the world with him he's going to take whatever you say to the bank make sure that what you teach him doesn't have any mistake Stakes so you as a student also somebody says you're allowed to do certain things and no one else says it's allowed you have to double check if everyone else disagrees he's wrong it cannot be it cannot be that any Rabbi from this generation is right and Rashi is wrong and rambam is wrong and anyone from previous generations is wrong it cannot be that any of us are right and ra is wrong cannot be cannot be that RAB AKA is wrong and we're right cannot be it's impossible impossible so if they say you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat if they say a go is not allowed to keep Shabbat not to keep Shabbat if they say that certain requirements for koser that's it that's the requirements of kosher that's it no black and white it's black and point so if you hear Rabbi saying otherwise like this jokester or a few other jokesters out there you have to double check that's what this mishna is saying is that you can't use the excuse oh the rabbi told me I could wear a wig so it's okay for me to wear a wig no you have 117 Pim no less than 117 Pim the greatest PIM in history hundreds 17 it's a ratio of 30 to1 meaning for every one p that said you're allowed to wear wig any wig forget about the wigs of today no one allows that but let's say they allowed anything for any of the P that say the handful of people that said you're allowed to wear a wig there's 30 to1 ratio almost of those that are saying you're not allowed so to say no I'm going to use the one out of 30 ratio that's hogwash that's nonsense why because if I told you that there is a 30 to1 ratio favoring that your drink has poison in it you of course wouldn't drink it if I told you even if there's a 1% chance that there's poison in your drink you wouldn't drink it so why are you putting poison on your head why are you putting poison in your why you wouldn't take the chance that's what this mishna is specifically talking about it says you can't just blame the rabbi but the rabbi can't just blame the student either the rabbi has to be Z has to be Z what he's teaching so now we'll finalize with this this very same R has a uh famous gar as a famous in Baba page 33a is a debate between R so says says who's your Rabbi who's your Rabbi have a do you have two SM does he have a did he go to k for 10 years who's a rabbi what's the definition of a rabbi I want to know who is the rabbi does he a SM does he have a because technically since mosu gave to yesu they continued that tradition but then it ended in the times of the it ended there's no anymore the that they give today you pass a test you pass a few tests and so on that's not the SM of M that's just something that he started doing in recent generations to make it more official and to also make sure that people know what they're doing but there's certain things like for example for teaching there's no SM for that there's no certification for teaching there's no certification for that you can't get a SM for teaching soes that mean you can't be a rabbi if you just teach you're not a you're not a butcher you want to be a butcher you have to guess you want to do be you guess you want want do a deal with divorces you have to get you want to be an expert in and tell women if the blood that's coming out of that area is uh uh makes them need or not if it's coming from a wound or it's coming from the uterus where it makes you have have for that you want to be a so on and so forth there's different levels of but if you want to just teach you want to teach T want to do you want to teach Shabbat you want to teach uh a few friends once a week are you a rabbi are you not a rabbi can you be a rabbi if you get a for a butcher but you're not teaching about uh slaughtering so do we still call you a rabbi who's the rabbi so there's an actual for this Who's involved Ruda rabuda is involved this one so there's a debate who is a rabbi his side says the one that taught you the one that taught you meaning the one that taught you gar the one that taught you wisdom wisdom is is called the gar not the one that taught you the and not the one that taught you m the one that taught you the most difficult part of the Torah that's your Rabbi that's your Rabbi that's what says that's one side he says someone teaches he's the rabbi not the one that teaches no no not someone that teach you m no that's not someone that taught you that's the rabbi that's what says that's one side says no that's not it the one not the one that taught you but the want to taught you most of what you know cuz let's say you have out of 100% worth of knowledge that you have have 100% worth of knowledge you got one guy that taught you 10% 10% but there's a one guy that taught you a bunch of other stuff that's 90% of your knowledge so the 10% is really a rabbi no of course not he says the one that taught you most of what you know says that's your RAB that's a rabbi cuz he taught you most of what you know if let's you have you switch rabbis like you're switching underwear you have let's say I don't know five rabbis a year you like to watch every day you have a different Rabbi fine it's not exactly the best idea but whatever you want to change rabbis really you should do only a few one for one for and maybe one for that you talk to and so on but you shouldn't have that many rabbis that's just a suggestion uh because you get confused uh but anyway R says if let's say you have five rabbis one guy is your main Rabbi he's the one that taught you most of the stuff you know let's say you learned 50% of what you know from him and the other four you learn the other 50% combined so of course the guy that taught you 50% he's your Rabbi he's the rabbi that's the second argument so first first argument says someone taught you second argument so the one that taught you the most of what you know gives a he says I have a from [Applause] Source what's the source it says it says even if he taught you one Mish he's rabbi one mishna he taught you one mishna how do we know one of the enemies of David taught him one thing for the rest of his life he called him Rabbi his enemy taught him one thing for the rest of his life he called him Rabbi even though he's his enemy Rabbi why he taught me something taught me something so gives the with the source of and that's how the uh that's what the go go with his opinion if he teaches you he's a rabbi so from there we learn maybe not be your Rabbi specifically but he's a rabbi meaning from there we learn anyone that teaches Torah is considered for all intents and purposes a rabbi that's what a rabbi is it does not require a SM it does not require a pillow it does not also means a cover a blanket in Hebrew it does not require a pillow it does not require a bed it does not require certifications if you teach T you are a rabbi now why is this important is because people sometimes don't want to learn from certain people that don't have a SM so you should know that first and formost most of the famous speakers in the world uh do not have a most of the famous ones do not have a uh and the reason is not because they don't know Tor they know plenty of Tor the reason why is because there's no for teaching doesn't exist if it existed everyone would get it easily it doesn't exist and if you tell them listen so why don't you at least get a SM for something else for what why would someone go get a SM for being a butcher if he's not going to teach about slaughtering cows if he's going to teach teach about what is the for slaughtering cows going to help him what is the for going to help him if he's going to be teaching about I don't know the of kosher I'm sorry that was an example Shabbat again but point I'm trying to tell you is that a uh you know there's no SM for it so if you have time to go get a SM get but the point is is that people need to know that the uh some of the greatest Minds that ever lived did not go through the current system that we have today for example and also both did not have a the traditional SM that we know of meaning they didn't go to the testing system uh you know where they tested them like they do today when people want to get uh become a rabbi they have to take a test R and rash did not do it the reason why is because they were called ga ga means there are known genius it'll be an embarrassment to the institution to test them they know more than the people testing them they not only became rabbis they became theed the heads of the bedin so as far as the uh the um rud is not telling you this specific uh opinion here for no reason he's telling you this is all connected this is all connected one is connected to the other he says of course you have to make sure that you're going to learn from someone that knows what he's talking about of course you have to make sure that you learn from someone that's an expert but even if you find someone that's an expert that has a SM or doesn't have a SM doesn't make a difference you yourself are responsible to double check everything you yourself are responsible you can't just blame the doctor for everything just like you wouldn't go into a operation room and start operating on a patient without learning the material that you need to learn in order to be a surgeon you're not just going to go oh yeah this looks good I saw it in a show I saw in a show they were cutting over here and they pointed at the nurse for something and they continued cutting what are they if you started doing that what do they do they're going to arrest you they're going to arrest you if they found out that a surgeon did not have a certification that he needs in order to be to do perform operation they would fire him but even if he had the certification but he really wasn't aware of what was going on with this patient he just went in he had no idea who this patient is and he just told people Hey listen just open up his uh his chest yeah but the surgery is on his leg open up his chest now but the surgery is on his left knee open up he start opening up his chest and started like playing inside you go to jail why because he's he's not he's not careful can't play with this stuff the same goes with your n you can't just throw your n and say whatever happens happens if the Rabbi says it's okay then it's okay if he doesn't say it's okay it's not okay if I don't have time to study then so be it hashem's going to forgive hashem's going to forget hm's going to let it go don't worry about it everything's going to be okay they can't act like that your is on the line your is on the line and from here we understand and connect to this week's par as well as to what R said connects it all all of us have had plenty of time to make mistakes all of us have made plent plenty of mistakes in our life plenty whether it sins against hem or it sins against our spouses or it sins against how we raise our kids or it sins against our teachers or our students or our customers or whatever all of us have made plenty of mistakes plenty plenty in a reality we don't know if we're going to live long enough to fix all of them we don't know the only way the only way that we could assure ourselves that our chuva will be complete and we've exerted all effort and we've been ultra careful with everything and we tried mamash doing everything to get our chat to be completed when the Mas shows up when the time that they ring the bell in sh and they say okay it's time for so and so to show up in sh whenever day comes and they ring the bell and they say okay the chaar is ringing time finished okay only way is if we help other people do Chua and the reason why is because if you lived in this world 30 years without keeping Shabbat and you started keeping Shabbat even if you kept Shabbat for another 40 years you're 70 years old you kept Shabbat for 40 years you still have many years of missing Shabbat even if they only judge you from the age of 20 to 30 you still have 10 years worth of missing Shabbat 10 years worth of missing Shabbat is no less than 520 shabbats you're G to go up to sh and GNA say you have missing 520 shabbats what do you want us to do can't just show up with missing shabat can't just show up with missing kosher can't just show up with these sins and expect us to just let it go okay you a you okay great but it's still missing Shabbat you're still missing the core foundation for a decade you still did all these things that's missing there's still a deficit in your account okay the rest of the years you did good you did fine we want to give you ganeden but there's a there's a deficit for 10 years for 20 years for 30 years there's a deficit we don't know how long we're going to be here to fix that deficit the only way is because every time you get somebody to keep Shabbat it's like you kept Shabbat twice he kept Shabbat you kept Shabbat it's like you kept two shabbats so that means that every week you're keeping two shabbats he keep Shabbat for 20 years you kept Shabbat twice for 20 years now that missing 10 years you've made up for it you used to make all types of crimes against hem he stopped he's helping you fix your sin that's why Abraham ainu already almost 4,000 years ago 4,000 years ago knew that kiru had to be a part of his life because when we're introduced to abrah ainu he's already 75 even though the mid introduces to him at three years old when we start talking about abah ainu he's 75 years old I'm sure there had to be something there had to be something not that Shalom he's like us but the point is he knew the significance of other people doing MIT he knew the significance of C what it does to our own so since none of us know how long we have none of us know when a msia is going to show up we all have to make sure that we spend time doing kiru like I said you can teach you can contribute whether it be money time skill something because to show up with a deficit in sh it's not an option to show up not knowing is also not an option because ignorance from the law does not absolve you from the law [Music] [Applause] [Music] no oh [Music]
