Discussion With The Young & Troubled Generation That's Bringing MaShiach

[Music] bring some other guy that they promised me you see they promise me to be here 20 at these guys here they're going to come and probably little bit they are on the way was uh was raining today probably that's a glad to be here again we had a good here and um a lot of people online actually liked it a lot also we got a lot of uh good questions and uh that's uh what we've been doing lately is uh instead of preparing a basic subject of a there's enough Torah that we can cover we can talk for the next 10 hours uh if you guys want to ask questions along the sh at the end of the sh at the beginning of the sh ask it's not prepared so whatever you ask we can answer hm hm gives us the words but one thing I was thinking about on the way here it took almost an hour and a half to get here for my house and uh it's probably going to be an hour and a half to come back home and uh I'm thinking you know so figure if my average year is usually two hours three hours sometimes but I think today is going to be maybe around 45 minutes or an hour unless you guys want to stay here all night I'll stay here with you you give me the to study with you will study till the morning my wife already writes me off she goes you have a see you tomorrow morning but I was thinking okay going to drive an hour and a half another hour and a half is three hours for 45 minutes I'm like what does this mean so then my reminded me it says used to travel three months to go to one day studying from one day and then three months back home so the sages at the at the Yesa over there was saying you're wasting your time you're a rabbi for a day and ranan says no you're all mistaken you're all mistaken his Torah is more valuable than all of yours he can curse all of you for making fun of him and he says why we study all year he studies one day of course he didn't waste his time throughout the L the three months that he traveled back and forth but he says when you actually want to get to a high level of Tor you want to get really close to you have to listen to one of the most famous in history his name is says anyone that wants to inherit Tora wants to not just learn from the books and you know you learn a few things you remember 1% of what you learn you want to get glued to the Tor he says it requires you to get to you have to be willing to die for the Tor so was willing to die for the Tor traveling three months one way three months the other way for one day so we don't have to travel three three uh months travel three hours but uh it's always great to teach and learn with young guys and one of the things that we did in New York a recent trip there's a group of maybe 40 50 guys in Brooklyn we had a year there and uh talked about the personal story and a lot of other things is that um the thing that excites me about young people is that I wish somebody told me when I was your age what I'm going to tell you and the reason why is because when you are at this age 18 20 25 you're going into the real world you're already in the real world but you're going into the next level and like the r says you have a choice one choice is to do whatever you want whatever goes goes whatever is in front of you you take survival is the fittest mentality or you think about Hashem and you try to connect your day-to-day life with hm when you when you actually live like a lion unfortunately at some point or another you realize that the lion doesn't actually have such a pleasant life but many people only find this out when it's already too late they already got used to the line lifestyle now like the r says I have a little bit of experience in that world I worked on Wall Street for 16 years I had a brokerage firm a hedge fund a insurance company I trained over 135 different people to become good salespeople some of them became millionaires some of them some of them quit but I have a lot of experience with the business world I was on CNBC Bloomberg and a bunch of other news networks and I also know what money is like what most people here in the world Chase we got there we got there we lost it but the key is that you have the experience that you can write home about and and when you live a life you're surrounded by people that are chasing money and you have the experience you say it's not worth it if I never had any money I told you listen you really shouldn't invest so much of your time chasing money your whole life you should invest your time chasing God if I never had any money what does he know but if I told you that one day in my my in my career in May of 2006 one day I made $1.6 million in one day not in a year not in a career one day so I have a little bit of experience about money and I'm telling you waste of time you go make a living work do what you got to do survive you have to eat obviously after all we didn't get to we're not do we're not the generation of Mount Si that gets M from sham we have to work fine no problem but there's a difference between working to live or living to work when you live to work like most people you start your day with work you finish your day with work and if you have any time in between you eat that was my life for a very long time sometimes we do AEM a favor by going to the uh to the synagogue just to to say uh sh put on for five minutes like we're do in God a favor the ra is saying kadish a few people are talking they're doing K they're going after the uh they're repeating the amid everyone's talking what's going on do you see the market today do you see this you see this no one's interested in being there but they feel like I have to pay my dues so I'm part of the community what happens your mind's not there your mind's not there and the reason why your mind's not there is because something that kazal used to have all the way until about a few hundred years ago is missing from our day-to-day life and it's called m m in today's world in a secular world world is called self-help it's called self-help people hire coaches to come speak people hire people like Tony Robins Zig Ziggler and people like that tell them what to do if you want to succeed in life do this this this and this you want to have a good marriage do this this this and this now all of this is available in not tah as a matter of fact it's actually a very critical part of the tat but somewhere around a few hundred years ago a few people made a decision that to slow down the m and start teaching theoretical Torah theoretical Torah meaning that we're teaching Torah like you know love God everything's going to be fine learn eventually you're going to get to a point where everything's going to be okay and the reality of it is that in generation today unlike we're that's the generation of knowledge was in Mount sa we're the generations of problems instead of knowledge we have problems why because we don't have the Cure The Cure that made am go from the 49th level of tum in m in uh Egypt to the 49th level of Kusa by the time they got to mount sa what got them there one of the main things was the M that they actually had to learn along the way it wasn't just the mitv are there for you to actually improve yourself so now schl everyone's heard about schl in um in in the Chronicles one it says so here we see became the king of Israel after his father David and he was right before Mitzvah so hasem says ask for whatever you want I'll give it to you so you would think average give me a PlayStation maybe an Xbox a nice Ferrari the newest model not last year it's already too old nice house lot of money you know money is just the beginning you have to want to have mountains of money that's what you think you'd ask 123 years old you want all these things what do says Grant he say ask for God grant me wisdom and knowledge so that I may go out and come in before these people so I can judge them these great people of yours so in essence he's saying Hashem no money no girls no houses no nothing what do I want I want wisdom why because as a m I'm going to have to judge these people I'm to tell them what to do I don't want to judge them based on my opinion because my opinion is flawed it's human human opinion is always flawed just so you know it there SM as a person is it could be Bill Gates it could be Warren Buffett it could be uh Steven Hawkings it could be anybody could be a rabbi if it's human it's flaw doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong but it's flaw why because our opinion changes over time about a hundred years ago a company had an opinion that they should put certain chemical in their drink to entice people to drink their drink and they were right A lot of people bought their drink and started drinking it it was called Coca-Cola the problem is that the chemical they put and where they got the name Coca-Cola was cocaine so all the babies immediately drank the Coca-Cola little babies mom would want to give their kids anything you have kids you're going to see you're going to get willing to give your kid anything just to stop crying so moms were giving their kids Coca-Cola immediately kids stopped crying oh this is like uh from ganeden Little do they know it's killing the kid so this was human logic and human logic continues today to develop drugs and develop different systems that are flawed so says I want Divine logic I don't want human logic I want Divine logic I want you to tell me everything to do so Hashem says because you ask for this I'm going to give you wisdom I'm going to give you money I'm going to give you power I'm going to give you everything so this is known to be the smartest the wisest man that ever lived gave him explains it and if they didn't say it we wen't even be allowed to say it he got M the highest level of up to the point where it's like one level below God if we could even understand what this means so this very same person had everything had money had a thousand wives had power no one wanted to fight him everyone loved them anything you could possibly imagine and he tells you this PUK in Ecclesiastes coit COIT chapter 11 verse n so he says something very peculiar he says Rejoice young man celebrate in your childhood let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth follow the path of your heart and sight of your eyes is the first part of the verse in so many words he's saying young man do whatever you want go party go with the girls go to clubs do whatever you want that's what it sounds like say do whatever is in your heart do it what's in a young person's heart only bad things anything we want is usually bad the ram says we want a lot of money it's bad for you a lot of money why you have a lot of money you have a lot of problems you start doing crazy things that you wouldn't do if you didn't have money for example suicide is not a poor man's problem suicide is a problem that rich people suffer from you don't see the homeless guy committing suicide very very rare you're ever going to see a homeless guy committing suicide who do you see committing suicide side rock stars movie stars multi-billionaires multi-millionaires the guy uh just a few weeks ago from Lincoln Park the very famous rock and roll group committed suicide three months after his best friend committed suicide it was also a rock and roll star one year after Robin Williams committed suicide each one of them had no less than $100 million no less so suicide is mamash 100% of rich man's problem so he says go follow your heart R said you follow your heart you going to chase money it's not good for you chase girls is not good for you why you need to have one wife not a 100 today we could barely handle one and so on and so forth so how could it be that the smartest man the wisest man that ever lived is telling us this this is what you get when you're really smart this type of advice seems strange seems like somebody from the club is going to tell you how to do that go do whatever you want so then we have to read the rest of the PUK the rest of the PUK says but be aware that for all the things that you do God will call to account he says do whatever you want whatever you want you want to go to go to you want to talk in the middle of kadish talk in the middle of kadish want to do do you don't want to do don't do you want to be kados be you want to be be whatever you want to do but just remember one thing there's one major CL in the Tora you're going to have to pay the bill you're going to have to pay the bill the bill will eventually arrive and there's no turning back in one of the giant T in history says not everyone is going to be happy when the mashiah arrives so they ask him why he says because it says the go the Masia is coming not to save everyone he's coming to save the ones who did chuva you did chuva It's Gonna Save you you didn't do CH you're still a you're still a criminal you have a problem you're not goingon to be happy when arrives everyone's worried about this mashiah for 2,000 years he's late like a typical Jew he's late 2,000 years already the good news is you don't have to wait for mashiah everyone has their own personal mashia the mhia that we have to deal with every day is Judgment sh everyone thinks that they're going to lift 120 but it doesn't necessarily happen all the time my cousin unfortunately he died at the age of 26 just several months ago in he went in a scooter one day second day of he wasn't religious he decided to go on a scooter 26 years years old who wants to go on a scooter cute kid smart was very very good with computers goodlooking everything was going for him his parents have a Fortune of money they could build pyramids with the money that they have so everything was going for him 26 years old he goes on a scooter he falls off the scooter innocent fall but he hits his head goes to the hospital they look at him they say no you're okay you're fine 26 years old life's ahead of you have minimum minimum another 94 years minimum he goes home he goes to sleep he never wakes up what happen now do you think that he when he woke up that day or his parents when they woke up that day they even thought as part of the equation that today mashia is arriving for him today Judgment Day is arriving at 26 years old it's a puppy it's baby just got a l diapers what does he know it what do you know 26 years old in this world today kids still live with their parents at 35 what do you know at 26 years old do you think that he thought today I'm going to have to pay the bill no he thought today I went on a scooter like every other day today's another day he didn't think it was R which R is Judgment Day coming up in a month he didn't know about that so each and every single one of us needs to understand that that Messiah doesn't necessarily need to be a year from now 5 years from now 10 years years from now Judgment Day can happen in any given day and we have to be prepared for it psychologically spiritually physically in every way shape or form now as a youth someone that's very young you have an opportunity you could be the greatest Generation that ever lived you could be part of the greatest Generation that ever lived or you could be just the one that missed an opportunity one of the two chances 50/50 because right now according to our sages we're out of time mhia has to come he must come in our generation whether it's 5 weeks from now or 5 years from now or whenever it's during our lifetime so whoever is going to be ready from when the mhia comes could be part of the generation that's going to be remembered forever as the generation that saw mashia eternally remembered that's the sikim that brought the mashiah the 20% that left Egypt everyone remembers them no one remembers the 80% that died in Egypt no one talks about them everybody talks about the 20% that came out of Egypt they got that's called it's called a generation of knowledge they got the mount saai they all became prophets it was amazing we still talk about them today 3,300 years later same thing here anyone's going to be alive at the time of mashiach it's going to be righteous it's going to be remembered Forever on the other hand it could also be the one that missed an opportunity of lifetime so now there's a few things that are affecting our youth today are affecting all of us really young guys old guys affects everyone one of the most important things is that we have no idea what to do how to actually get close to we think that when you see somebody with a maybe if he goes to B once or twice a week especially on Shabbat he's religious this is not necessarily the case there's many that are keeping Shabbat for 5 10 years but still they have a problem as far as really being considered religious simply because in their heart they're still they're still secular you still you ask them one they have no idea what is you ask him like yeah when I get to B the Rabbi says something about some they don't learn T they don't learn M they don't learn anything it's like cultural more of an exterior thing now here I'm not just talking about people that are still wearing tight clothes and t-shirts I'm also talking about some sometimes you have people with beard and black and white also don't know much I met many of them they look you look at them they look like a minu the guy has a beard which is free it's free by the way you don't have to get it from Walmart for Discount it's free beard free bin lad also had a beard by the way doesn't make you religious keepa you got it for free from the besset sometimes you don't even have to buy a keepa but if you bought a keepa few dollars suit he has to wear it to work anyway white shirt finished you look religious religious in today's world you look not only religious you look at a mini Rabbi a secular person or AO looks at you hey Moshe no no not Moshe it's oh can I ask you what to do everybody looks religious with a beer and a hat the reality of it is that inside you ask him he doesn't know what he's talking about why because he doesn't make time to learn toah every day he did not make the Torah part of his daytoday life this is a very serious problem because the only thing that makes you Jewish is the Torah that's the only only thing before Mount saai there was no Jews there was Israelites Israelites yobu yob is also called Israel his sons were called Israelites after we got to mount sa is when we became before that we were called B is we called we became a nation we became Jews what changed in Mount sa we got the Torah meaning that if Shalom said no we don't want the Torah and somebody else came along and said no no we want it they would be Jews but if you look at the Shabbat I believe it's page 88 Hashem didn't give us that kind of an option when we got to mount saai it was time to give us the Torah Hashem wanted to make sure that we knew that it was no option kind of option so what he did is he made Mount saai Bend and go over the entire nation like a and he said to them here is the Torah if you accept it good this is oura we're married if not this is where you'll die this is your burial place so kazal asks what kind of wedding is this this seems more like a uh an like you're forcing them so the B says of course he's forcing them because all of the malim were shaken because they knew that in the beginning of time when hasem created the world he made a deal with the angel that runs Earth and he says listen I created this entire world for the tah the tah before came before the world 974 Generations before the world was created I created the Torah black fire and white fire God talks about it and it says I created the Torah but before I created the world the Torah was theoretical theoretical you can't really use it so I had to look at the Torah and then create the world I looked at the Tor I said there's kosher laws okay so I'll create kosher animals I looked to and I said there is Modesty so I'll create the human being to look a certain way where they can be modest not modest I Look to You have to have good midot so I'll create a character trait in a human being being where they have GAA they have pride and I hate Pride so I'm going to give him a test that if he has this Pride I don't like him if he doesn't have it I love him extra give him tests why to make this Theory go into practice so then he created man and he said but listen one day they're going to have to accept this to and when they accept the T we're full force but if they don't accept the Torah just so you know I don't need them I don't need anything we're going back to theoretical again we're going back to to so the B says all the Angels were shaking why were they shaking they knew that ifom said no we don't want the TM would have brought the world back to to why if it's not for my Covenant meaning the Torah being practiced being followed being learned day and night the rules of the world will cease to exist hem says to the Prophet Jeremiah only reason you have the world is for the tah so now when you start understanding this you say okay so what's in this Torah that's so important the best thing about the Torah is that it makes you stay you stay you don't change everybody's always scared about changing no I don't want to be different I like who I am my friends like me my wife likes me don't worry about it you're going to stay you you don't turn into some mutant you don't turn into like Wolverine start stabbing people don't worry you stay exactly the way you are the difference is you become super you you become a better version of you right now without Tor typical human being gets upset when somebody cuts them off not upset like H shocks like in the movies in the 1920s H he cut me off no no today somebody cuts you off you curse his mother his grandfather the great-grandfather you start reading t for him to die because he cut you off once we get so angry because the guy cut us off on the highway today you find out that the guy gave you $20 extra change you have to think about it three four five times if you're G to go back to the store to give it back to him why because ah he has enough look at the store it's half a mile long his store he doesn't need the money so he gave me 20 bucks extra I'm like uh modern D Robin Hood I'm taking from the rich given to the poor I was poor I gave it to the I took it from the rich we justify we rationalize our terrible Behavior without Torah we are no different than a cow and a lion no different we work off of instinct Tor especially M teaches you things about yourself you didn't even know and it softens you and it makes you a better version of you so you want to get married you're actually going to get married to a decent human being because only decent human beings get decent human beings but if you go look for a wife and in one of the clubs you'll find a wife problem is she'll be a wife of five other guys also you go into business you'll find a business problem is the business is probably not going to be that kosher even if it looks theoretically looks kosher but it works on Shabbat or it lends money to people with extra high interest rates like a lot of unfortunately a lot of Jews are going into this lending business a lot of Jews are going into this lending business this is the worst possible business for a Jew worst worst possible thing for a Jew to do number one if your client is a Jew and you lend the money you charge him interest you lose you have no share of the world to come so now on the application you have to say name address phone number Social Security date of birth religion you have to ask your client religion oh Jewish n sorry I can't lend you money I'm going to lose Allah who's going to do this no one no one's going to put religion in application they'll sue you in America you're not to do such a thing so you have a problem you don't know if the client's Jewish or not so now youra is on the line for $5,000 loan you're gonna make 500 bucks your entire is on line for 500 bucks you go to you go to shabbat you go you give you give this you did this you're nice to you're nice to everyone 500 bucks you lost $500 some people $50 because the boss took 450 they took 50 they work for him $50 lost lamba this is the stupidest thing in the world Imagine you have a multi-billion dollar company but everything was lost for $50 $50 commission so lending horrible business for a Jew second thing is is that it's also an unethical business for the most part these lending businesses usually are charging people 27 28 30 35 40 50% interest eventually the government is going to shut it down it's a matter of time before all goes blows up and hem actually does us a favor and blows up that business and I'm telling you from the business World eventually it's all going to blow up not for a while but for Jews to be in that business which unfortunately is there's many of them I think even many of them actually started that business it's a very very bad decision so if someone is not connected to Torah they could M destroy their world without even knowing it the guy goes to work every day has a keeper all of a sudden he started giving because he makes $10,000 a month now guy's 20 years old makes 10 15 $20,000 a month lending people money thinks it's thead gives the don't worry I love you he ,000 a month he thinks he aad do but extra good everything is great he doesn't realize how much of a disaster his job is T is the only thing that's going to teach you that you want to get married to a decent human human being you have to be decent your wife is only going to like you if you treat her fairly if you treat her kindly if you're generous a cheap husband is hated by his wife I can tell you this for sure any husband that's not generous with money and with compliments is eventually going to be hated by his wife money and compliments a lot of people are generous with money but they curse their wife out and they talk to her and they yell at her they treat her like she's a slave this wife is eventually going to kill you either in this world or the next World why because you're killing her every day same thing with money that sometimes the wife is raising a kid you got three four five six kids at home she's raising them it's not easy to raise one kid imagine how much of a headache it took your mom to raise you what about you your brother your sister she's raising the mom is Raising five six seven kids three kids one kid doesn't make a difference husband comes home first thing he does yell it up because the food's not hot he yells at her because she didn't run to the door like she was when she was 20 cuz she's running the house so a husband without manners is destroying himself or sometimes you have husbands that are cheap with money they feel like the wife is not working because she's managing the kids they're not working so they pretty much they torture her until they give her $100 but I need $100 for shopping for food for you yeah but can't you do it for Less can't you get your own money what do you mean you're my own money I do this job you do the other job when you don't have M when you don't have the Divine self-help you're not going to know these things until it's too late until your wife left because she says listen I've been living off of change I've been collecting on the street because you don't want to give me $100 every week I have to beg my own husband for money you know how many times I have women crying to me every day my husband is cheap my husband is cheap my husband is cheap like what do you mean cheap guy makes $100,000 a year she goes yes but for me to get $100 more than what the groceries cost for me to just have money to live it's like a SE it's like a story from uh it's m living Gom in this world Imagine a grownup doesn't have $100 so m is the type of stuff that's going to teach you how to become a decent person you don't necessarily need to be mosu you just need to be a decent person the Torah is such an amazing thing to add to your life just so you know for all of these lefties that always try to go against the Torah like no the Torah is sexist the Torah is this the Torah is that the Torah is the only document in the world that gives special privileges to poor people what's the special privilege says if you have a field you must give every year and the has to come at a specific time it has to be at the end of the growing season you have to give the corner you have to give the last piece of the land as far as what's growing it's called also means wig but also means the end of the field soat asks why the why the end why can't he give it in the middle why can't he give it in the beginning why can't he give it whenever he wants he's the one that's giving the money why you telling him when to give it I'm giving donating $10,000 you going to tell me when to donate say thank you I'm giving you in the first place no kazal says absolutely not absolutely not you must give it at the end why because God forbid the poor people are going to wait around not knowing when you're going to give they're going to waste the whole season the whole day the whole month waiting for you to give and you're not giving for another two months they can use that time to do something productive you're not allowed just because he's poor you're not allowed to waste his time why because the torat treats his soul the same way as your soul the fact that you have money and he doesn't does not make your soul actually any better at all as a matter of fact it puts a it puts the onus on the rich person to make sure the poor person doesn't stay poor this is why when one of the I believe it was a um not Ben um I confus the names uh about almost a hundred years ago one of the major sages his wife decided to buy a uh lot ticket and she told him honey I bought a lot ticket immediately he started P panicking no just you know the whole thing is yours I don't want half of it I don't want any of it it's yours it's yours it's yours you know one of his was there like what's the big deal she bought a lot of tickets she win some money what's the big deal why wouldn't you why is that a bad thing you win $100 million is that a good thing you build Yeshiva another Yeshiva another build Yesa until mashia comes you build Yeshiva in every state you building Shiva in every town you what's the wrong what's wrong with winning the L and he says to him my son do you know what kind of responsibility you have when you have a lot of money he says you can build stuff he goes no no no if I have money and there's someone in my circle someone doesn't have to be immediate family doesn't need to be my son doesn't need to be my cousin someone that knows me someone that I know he exists and he has problems financially and I have money and I don't help him it's if you have money and you still have people around you that are poor you have a sh you have a serious serious problem in sh why because the only reason hasm gave you the money is to do mitat with it not to buy a $2 million house you want to buy a $2 million house fine just make sure nobody else is poor first nobody else is poor then you buy a $2 million house first there's a then there's a $2 million house you could live in a regular house you don't have to buy a $2 million house but today we buy 2 million house and a million vacation and a $3 million second vacation we have so many different houses we forget that there's people the Torah is the only thing that's going to remind you of this that you have to consider everyone why because his soul came from Hashem just like your soul did same thing the fact that hasem gave you a gift of money is just giving you an opportunity to do something good with it so the rambam says anyone who thinks that any material reward whether it be money car house whatever wife husband anyone who thinks that the material that hasem gives you is your real reward your real prize for some mitvah that you did is very far away from the truth of Torah to such an extent the rambam calls them a Fool If You Think You got a house because you did some mitvah you're a fool you think you got a nice car for $150 ,000 because you donate to theet you're a fool rambam says this not me why he says because all of the money in the world all of it for all the people that ever existed from beginning of man until the end is not equivalent of a reward for the smallest mitvah in the all of it all the happiness that ever existed is not enough to pay for one Mitzvah one so why does hasem give us money it's based on the the it's based on the uh the teachings of mitvah he says oh look this guy saw a homeless guy he gave him 50 bucks you gave him 20 bucks oh he saw that there's 80% of am are not keeping Shabbat so he's donating money to get am to start keeping Shabbat he saw that people don't have place to study he's supporting a cola he's supporting Yesa and so on he's doing mitv I see I gave him a 100 he took 10 he took 20 and he donated for toah so if I give him 200 I'll donate 40 I give him a th000 I'll donate 200 so you know what let me give him a th let's see what he does he gives him a thousand the guy donates 200 goes wow this is great let me give him 10,000 nowah you did one mitvah hasm says oh this is a good investment for me I gave him the money he's actually doing what he's supposed to let me give him more meaning that if you really have you don't stop giving doesn't matter what the economy does doesn't matter what the market does doesn't matter anything you know that hm is paying for it in and also says hm decides how much money you're gonna make regardless of how much you work already on he decides Steve's gonna make $100,000 Moshe is going to make 70 David's going to make make 300,000 he decides what you're going to make he decides what you're going to make but he says one thing is excluded the money forv any money you in you use for Shabbat for holidays for for is not part of that income that's added to it if I promised you a hundred and you in and you actually used 20,000 for mitv that 20,000 I'm going to give you back on top of the 100 it's not the Ed from the 100 which means someone with a very high level OFA he doesn't stop giving he doesn't think about no I don't know how much I have my IRA is getting a little low the market is a little tough now the property is not sold yet I'm W you know what Rabbi when I finish When I close this deal I'm GNA give you money then there's a million and a half promises like this every day here and I'm sure has been hearing it for many more years than me when I close this deal I'm going to donate to this this and this when I finish this deal I'm going to do this everybody is promising everybody's mhia everybody's a mashia when I'm rich I'm going to build a I'm going to build Thea I'm going to build the school I'm going to become um uh what is it from the days he was one of the three people that financed all of am is everyone when I'm rich I'm gonna give this I'm gonna give this I'm gonna give this okay but today you have $50 you have $20 you have $100 why don't you give that hasm only is happy with $100 no no when I'm rich when I'm rich why because when you don't have Tora even the even the of someone that doesn't have t is not real when someone does not have t and they give to to to whatever it's not really it's marketing it's a marketing why as soon as he gives $110,000 to B when does he give it does he come to the rabbi secretly quietly for the for the you starting to call it 101,000 don't tell anybody no what does he do 10,000 10,000 David and Steve and John well giv 10 he tells the whole B the whole town knows he gave 10,000 some guy invests 10,000 he invest 20,000 on a billboard to tell the whole world that he invested 10,000 why it's marketing he wants the whole world to know so when you don't have Tor these character traits are the natural inclination of a person because the in control without T is the only thing in control this is your opportunity every day you take a Little Tor you go to you go to the books you go even if you want to watch the we have online on our website bash.org you have CDs here for free you have opportunity to fix your a little bit just a little bit every day a little bit every day if you do it a little bit every day you will be the generation everyone will remember forever on the other hand if we do it once in a while then it becomes like eating once in a while if I told you listen you could eat as much as you want what's your favorite food steak you like steak you like I don't know you like pasta you like whatever you like Kebab he likes Kebab okay so I say you know what you could eat as much Kebab as you want but only once a week the other six days a week you can't eat how long is the person going to survive he could only eat once a week whatever he wants but only once a week the rest of the week he has to starve can he survive most likely not unless he's in very very tip top shape most likely can't survive not eating and drinking for six days oh not drinking right not eating or drinking for six days one day a week you can eat whatever you want you're not going to survive why because your goof your body needs to eat every day your needs to eat even more your requires even more food spiritual food than your body so when we go and we learn Torah only once a week that means you're starving your the whole week so it's no surprise that the whole week you act like anti you act like ham and on Shabbat you're a little mini sadik all once a once a week so what would hm tell you listen why don't you change it B one a week once a week and beu six days a week let's change it how do we do it learn a little Torah but I don't mean learn Tor we're just learning things and you just like it just goes through and it's just a lot of people learn Tor and they become robots I have a lot of people of Yesa students they tell me I help them do Chua what do you mean your parents your father's a rabbi yeah your brother's a rabbi yeah this one every everyone you know is a rabbi yeah so how did I help you goes no no the first time in my life I actually got it I actually have to connect to the Tora I have to do something about it for all my life I was a robot so he knew the he knew the but he didn't think that it's something that he has to like dig down inside his heart and implement it in such a way where required him to change his character traits required him to make him a better version of himself a lot of people use the toraat to become robots this is the worst possible thing you could do because it's poison it's called you come used to the and just like you just go through the motion that's why sometimes you see people come toet the rabbi is saying the K is saying kadish and people are talking or they're on their phone if you're talking or you're on the phone when someone is saying kadish when you're even in AET even if you're in AET without any prayer at all you're in a big nesset you start talking about baseball you're in a biget you want to talk about business you have to understand in sh they're not looking at you in a very very pleasant light why because your this and any other that's a kosher in the world whether it's here or it's in Israel anywhere is a mini bet mikash so you know the prophet Ezekiel and the prophet Ezekiel tanak it says when a third bet mikdash is built when you enter the bet mikash you have to know there there there's one rule they're going to enforce very strictly in the BET mikdash what's the rule you're not allowed to leave from the same place that you entered you go into the bet mikdash in one door you have to leave in a different door yeah but I park my car in the front go all the way around yeah but it's going to take me a half hour to get to my car that's your problem you're not allowed to ever leave from the same door that you came why because Shalom you're going to start looking at the walls of the mikdash like the walls of your house says meaning Shalom you leave from the same place that you came in and you start getting comfortable and used to it oh this is better M like my house it's like my house yeah I'm used to it it's ni it's my bet mdash my bet mdash come come let's talk about baseball footb stock market no no no never ever get used to the mikdash never never get used to the to the point we just talking about the stock market and this market and that market no no this is a mini bet mikdash so when you see people even more so you start seeing people playing with their phone talking to each other about nonsense middle of outside of all of that stuff in the is not very good why because this is a holy place from here till next year T you could talk as much as you want but just common language is not good only the Torah is going to teach you such a thing to treat a place that's holy like it's holy when we treat the holy like it's mundane then it just becomes like a social club people come in they hang out they do nothing they instead of reading Torah they read the newspaper becomes like another place this is not good so again Tora is going to make sure you separate those few things so the Tora you're supposed to learn is the Tora that at the end of the sh at the end whether you're reading the specific or you're reading a specific M book or you're reading anything at some point during a day you have to read something you have to review something you have to listen to something that shakes your heart that makes you uncomfortable but not uncomfortable like a uh oh you I have to get up uncomfortable the point is like I have to change there's something wrong I'm not I'm not mosu yet I'm not the best version of me yet I have to do something I have to do cha on what you have to know it some people have to do TR for basic things like Shabbat or or kosher and so on some people have to Chu and other things mid and other things the point is every day the V said you must learn M at least a couple of times a day and RA dening in his book actually said to learn the takes precedent over you learning or it's even more important why he says because that's what's going to change you learning Al is good it's important you have to know what to do but to stick with the only is going to teach you a lot of people know Al but they don't necessarily follow it they used to be a person his father was his father was but notor like some people know Itor everyone knew even the knew who he is but he's the this son is the only person that ever had his head buried in one place and his body somewhere else his name was everyone learned of right his father as did not have the Merit to get buried in m like and his head though his head was buried there because one of judah's sons chopped his head off and they left it they said since the head is already in here in the m in in the cave we're buried here but the body gets buried outside whyem says I hate him he doesn't say I hated didn't say I hated but is far his father ISU his brotheru his grandfather is Abit why it's he doesn't say he didn't say he hates anyone else he doesn't hate he doesn't hate he doesn't hate anyone else I hate him his father's glore his brother's glore great family like everyone tells me no no don't worry listen I know I'm not keeping Shabbat I know I'm not this and I'm not that but my father is Big Rabbi my grandfather huge Rabbi he wrote a book I said great he's in geden you have a problem you can't enter Gan because he's going to be the one kicks you out the fact that he wrote a book is helping him not you the fact that he was a rabbi sadik Kad everything it's good for him doesn't help you maybe it's going to give you you more time to do chv it doesn't get you no one goes into geden simply because their grandfather was a tadik best example asav asav didn't there is no better family than as's family in the history of mankind there was no better family than asa's family his father grandfather even bigger brother giant doesn't get better than that but Hashem says not only he's not someone I consider that I love him I hate him I hate him he's the only one in the Torah he says I hate him and on top of it says has no share of the world to come why why so much AEM it's a little extreme no says no he knew all the he knew everything he knew all the KN he looked like a sadik beard all the way to the floor he would tell his father ABA do we do on on salt we give M on salt he pretended to be righteous but hem knows he was a he says he knew everything he promised he's goingon to do chuva every day he promised tomorrow he's going to go to he promised tomorrow he's goingon to donate he promised tomorrow he's goingon to do this he promised tomorrow he's goingon to do that every day he would promise he's goingon to do Chua but he never did chuva him that he knew and he didn't do it that makes me hate him and that's why the head is buried in and the body outside because the head knew all the you know good you go but the body that's supposed to do all everything outside because you didn't do anything about it so if your father's a sadik if your mother's a sadika all that's wonderful what about you what about us what about us what are we doing every person needs to look in the mirror every sing day and say what am I doing about me if hasem comes and actually tells me what are you doing about you I have to have an answer I have to have an answer when each person goes up to Sham on Judgment Day they're gonna ask him to give a for 40 days straight no jokes can't joke around and can ask you to give a sh for 40 days straight today we struggle to do sh for two hours no one can sit down for more than two hours today in sh they're gonna sit down listen to you give a 40 days straight do you have 40 days of material you have 40 days of material you have to to pass the test you have to remember the Tora you have to learn a lot of Tora to get up to sh and say oh you pass we want to listen to your for 40 days so when you learn 10 minutes here 10 minutes there like you're doing the rabbi a favor you go up to sh say I learn with the rabbi at least 10 minutes every other day it's good so you have 10 minutes the other 40 days is missing so all of these things K has explained to you use this you become a king of the world you're sadik you're righteous with hasem everything else becomes better you make aem's will into your will and he will make your will into his will many people ask me how do I get blessing on my business blessing on my marriage blessing for my kids blessing blessing blessing everybody wants a blessing okay blessing no problem you can get a blessing from even someone that's a fool but the best blessing you can possibly get is from the biggest Rabbi in the world can't give you a blessing even 1% of and hasm already told you in M how to get a blessing from him how do you get a blessing make his will into yours he says I created the world in order for you to fulfill the Torah I didn't create the world for you to look at Discovery Channel look at the zebra being chased by the lion I didn't create the world for you to watch the stock market for eight hours a day I didn't create the world for you to buy a new car and another car and another car and another car and buy $10,000 rims but the besset can't survive a week $220,000 uh you know additions to the car but there's people still hungry in the streets doesn't make sense I didn't create the world for that I created the world for you to fulfill the Torah so if you actually look at the Torah and you say oh Tor says I'm not allowed to be angry if I'm angry that's the equivalent of idol worship says I get angry I throw remote control across it's like a it's not good these are small things seems like it's like a no big deal it's a big deal in sh why why' you get angry says why' you get angry oh you got angry because you expect everything to go your way so if you think that everything is going to go your way you think you're mini God that's you turned yourself into a God so these things sometimes are hard to hear because all of us did everything and sometimes still doing it the point is is that only thing Hashem expects you to do is to try to fix yourself you don't go to sh and hear them say why weren't you mosenu they're not going to say to you why weren't you mosu why weren't you R AKA they're gonna say why weren't you Steve why weren't you David why weren't you ruven why weren't you whatever your name is why weren't you you no I was me my whole life no no no no we give you tools to be ruven the tadik we gave you tools to be David sadik you were David rash you violated 26 out of 52 shabbats a year what sadik we gave you tools to be you in the salary cap of all the football players we gave you legs arms so you can drive a car you bought a car $100,000 instead of using the car to drive 15 minutes to you drove an hour and a half to a football game they tell people no come to the sh come to the sh it's like no it's far it's far much far it's 20 minutes from your house half hour from your house yeah it's F if when come a little local a little closer to my house they want me to be inside their house they're going to come to sh outside 20 minutes too much but to go drive an hour and a half to Disneyland or three hours to Disneyland no big deal to go to a football game to see a bunch of people beat each other up no big deal for 3 hours go to 20 minutes no it's too far again reminder to finish off all of these things are constant reminders of how much work we have in front of us we have a lot of work in front of us only the Torah is going to be the one that's going to remind us of it and Hashem says if you do it I'm going to reward you endlessly to such an extent that just the down payment was said in last week he says he pays his lovers who keep his for thousands of generations meaning it's pasted your life you have eternal reward it's not just getting the house and the car and The Good Wife and the kids you have eternity you have eternity eternity of reward but son the ones that he considers his haters he gives them whatever he owes them now to destroy them he says I pay my haters cash to them face to destroy them why I take it very personally I give you tools to be M I gave you tools to be I give you tools to be the tribe of ruven the tribe of of udah what' you do you became one of the go why is AEM s taking it so personally he says on one end I give you a lot of leniency when we had the mikdash the last two points depended on things being specific time specific time so the tamid offering theban tamid they would delay it every day it was supposed to be a specific time but they would do it 30 minutes out of that time every day same thing every day so 30 minutes there was a time that was supposed to be done but they would do it every day 30 minutes delay why 30 minutes delay they said because there's human error meaning already in sh hasm expects us to make human errors there's errors okay I learned shabat I learn this I learn this I learn this once in a while you make a mistake hem is not going to beat you up for making a mistake it's a mistake you have a mistake bring koban do chuva no Pro if it's if it's an honest mistake no problem chuva is always accepted but if the mistake is because you don't feel like learning if the mistake is because you don't feel like changing then you're putting everything on the line everything on the line what's on the line for the last 3,300 years your grandparents your great-grandparents your great great great grandparents all of them all the way to mosu suffered every single generation mosenu suffered yua suffered all the people in the desert suffered all the people after that everyone suffered every generation we got to attacked we got beat up we got this we got we got all types of suffering pgms inquisitions Holocaust the Holocaust that everyone hears about it's not the first time it's happened a bunch of times bet mikdash was much worse much much worse than the Holocaust just a holocost is the only thing we have pictures of but it was much worse in in a bet mikdash but we still stayed we still continued we still fought for what for you to be here learn t for you here to be here and and say I am a Jew your grandparents suffered for thousands of years for you to be able to proudly say I am one of the chosen people I am a Jew so unless we pick up the books and we start learning and we go to and we start M taking what he says into account how do I work on my anger I'm a cheap person how do I work on it I uh I don't know I have some I can't watch my eyes I look at everything that walks how do I work on it anything that walks especially here Miami Beach it's not exactly uh ganen why people walk around naked anyway here they have an excuse they blame the beach so how do I was my eyes how do you watch your eyes you you do what the did what do he do I overheard him say he says I was in a from the morning I haven't left if you're not working go to be learn Tora go to call alone you're working go to work do what you got to do at work come home pray come eat pray go to be learn to don't go outside you're not going to survive you're not going to survive outside you're not going to survive even if you are learning to you're not going to survive it's Sodom and Gomorrah outside not just here everywhere people in this generation think that underwear became clothed they walk around with uh tank tops and underwear and they think they call like oh I'm fully dressed well one generation ation from people being completely naked being outside hanging outside going to clubs going to pubs going to cafes going you're not going to survive why because any Torah you're going to learn you're ruining it with your eyes you look at things as a man you look at things that are not appropriate when do you end up thinking about them during the time you're supposed to be with your wife in sh it's a very big so you go to how do I work on my eyes what do I have to do how do I work on all these bad traits that I have I have a list of things pick one in sh they expect you to make errors no problem make errors whatever you want make errors no problem but at least try do something why do you have to try why you take it so personally in because your grandparents suffered for so many years just for you to be here and call yourself a Jew so please do us all a favor take advantage of it and all of us will do chv get closer to and may he make his will into may we make our will into his will and his will will become our will amen amen [Music]
