uh the book uh the uh the reviews the the feedback we're getting from L has been amazing still waiting for some feedback from from the US since people just got their books over the last couple of weeks but a few people that were really zealous started reading it and are uh setting pictures of smiling faces so if anybody didn't get any one of the books in the United States or Israel please let us know some of the some of you that are contacting us or even placing orders uh on the uh website but you're located in different places around the country uh you're uh you know you're simply wasting time because as we said on the post itself right now we're focusing on the US and of course we have some stuff in Israel later on BM if uh Hashem allows we'll also do other countries but uh the the cost of shipping is extraordinary to ship anything overseas uh even shipping in the US the average package is uh costing a ton of money just to ship it without even calculating the cost of material so anybody that wants to uh really really wants it to uh to come to I don't know whatever country they want to go to if you're willing to pay for uh for the shipping which is probably going to be at least several hundred I'm more than happy to do it it's just that we have to do things within budget and at the same token uh the budget in itself is already something that uh is above and beyond what we thought was going to be so with that being said uh let's get into this sh we have so yob lived in the land of Egypt 17 years yobu lived 147 years in this uh in this world and uh those most of those years were atrocious years full of difficulty uh full of suffering uh whether it was a uh the uh uh lifethreatening battles that he had with uh with asav his brother or living in the house of the biggest criminal in history lean lean uh or it was uh simply fighting for the sake of his wives or losing uh his son for 22 years uh YF uh lots and lots of suffering in the life of of yov but the Torah says that the last 17 years were the best years of his life which in essence means that everything that's happening here yov obviously is uh uh giving uh the blessings uh making the statements under a uh a very uh uh clear mind uh because thear says that uh if somebody is in pain we don't uh they don't judge him in sh uh for doing certain things meaning the judging the judgment is uh is lessened uh as there was one of the sages that was in massive pain and another person another a uh uh you know Jewish uh student uh thought that uh it was wise to uh to play game with him and uh the sage uh you know didn't find it funny at all because it was the game itself was causing him pain in essence he was getting in his way when he wanted to go to the bathroom uh and uh relieve some of the pain and uh this uh this young man did not think that uh you know uh his uh game was crossing the line and the sage you know sage in essence cursed them and the person died on the spot uh and thear says that just like a uh uh this just like the uh uh job that said some things that could borderline be considered heretical uh before he did Chua uh hasem did not judge him as harshly as he would judge somebody that would be under uh you know normal conditions job was under an immense amount of pain to say the least uh just like the the sage was under immense amount of pain and anybody that is in a immense amount of pain and suffering is not judged the same way doesn't mean that they're not judged they're not allowed to just simply violate the entire tah but in essence it's it's already known in the tah it's already uh uh taught by the sages that uh when a person is uh suffering obviously this can Cloud your judgment this can uh shorten your temper and so on but this was not the case with Yakov ainu Yakov ainu has just had the 17 best years of his life which means that the rebuke that he's giving his children uh is uh is actually the uh the best of the best uh it's not coming Shalom from a place of uh of of suffering it's not coming from a PL place place of uh discontent it's not coming from hatred shom it's not coming from any place that is inappropriate but rather this these rebukes are actually some of the best blessings that a person could ever get if they would simply understand what it is to get a rebuke from a uh and just like it was in the previous generation when one of the young men that was the uh grandson of one of the uh you know got rebuked for something he didn't do when his uh friend told him why didn't you tell your grandfather that uh you didn't do it you just sat there and and accepted the rebuke and he just ripped you apart why didn't you tell him you didn't do it I know you didn't do it you were with me the grandson said to uh to his friend you're right I didn't do it but when am I ever going to get another chance to get such a beautiful rebuke from one of the greatest sages in history when am I going to get another chance meaning that when a person understands what the value is of a and thereby understand the value of a real rebuke uh a person would actually look forward to it even though it hurts even though it is uh not never fun to get rebuked nobody likes to be told what to do but nonetheless we see that the rebuke from yov was words of love for his uh for his children and his descendants until this day now in the beginning we see a uh a little bit of a test a test here of where our minds are of course through the uh words of yov to his son where yov asks his son for a uh you know for a promise to not bury him in Egypt as it says uh you know um please if I have found favor in your eyes please place your hand under my thigh and do kindness in truth with me please do not bury me in Egypt so first and foremost we see a few things that are unusual the first thing is that he asks YF to put his hand under his thigh if you did that in today's world you would be considered a pedophile a molester or something like that but that's because the world is full of filthy people that have filthy Minds uh now the yobu was the the head of the aot even though he was the grandson of Abraham he was something uh uh the closest to a perfect human being you can possibly get and uh yov understood the Holiness of the breit just like he learned from his grandfather father abrah ainu when he made elzar his uh his servant swear to him before going on a trip to find a kalaf for his son he said put your hand under my thigh meaning put your hand under my bit why because it was customary in those days to hold the most valuable possession that you have while you are making a promise while you're making a swear and abah ainu the most valuable thing that he had was his bit because that was the Covenant between him and a the same goes for his grandson yobu understands the value of the bit and mentions it other times in this par where he says put your hand under my bit and swear this is the most valuable thing that I have in essence I'm putting everything on the line here now of course when a person see something like this or they see different things in the if they even have the Merit to study and they see all types of statements and MIM uh that uh talk about the uh Thea which is the male member uh different things stories of how hasem punished for example neet a uh who was a uh uh homosexual rapist that raped all of the Kings out there and when he wanted to uh to to rape one of the h Jewish Kings uh hasem punished them by making his uh really really long to the point of of of uh of disaster and uh uh you know agony and pain uh other times there are other places in the Tora that talk about the of a uh of different sages now of course people say what a important pornography in the gar in the Torah is pornography no that just simply means you have pornography in your head that's all that means it means you have pornography and filth in your head if that's what you think so what does it actually mean does it mean literally yeah it means literally but it's but it's actually not supposed to be understood the way you understand it why because if a person has a clean mind and does not think of all the filth that's in the world he understands the value of the bleed he understand that something holy a holy person like aaham does not see a difference between his finger and his uh and his b as far as a piece of the body but as far as a piece of Holiness he sees it as the most valuable possession that he has in the entire world because that is in essence what's going to determine whether he will be holy and build a holy home or not because he could learn Torah and still be a filthy person he can say nice things and still be a filthy person he can help a lot of people and still be a filthy person and have no share of the world to come why the bit is the foundation of the Jew and even more so even the non-jews are obligated to a certain extent to not be adulterers and and wasting seed and things of that nature as we saw in before even Judaism began before mat were killed by hem at a very young age because they wasted seed we saw that the generation of Noah was destroyed because they wasted seed because they were homosexuals because they not only accepted the immorality in the world but actually rationalized and legalized it similar to how people are doing it today because says you be holy because I am Holy and the way that am is sanctifies themselves and makes themselves holy is in the way that they treat and look at what the breit is a holy Jew does not look at their breit when I say look at their breit I mean in perspective I mean in perspective in a sense that how do you view it is this a tool to serve AEM or is this a tool to serve yourself if you're looking yourself in the mirror or every time you have to go to the bathroom you have to make sure that all the parts are there then you my dear friend are very far away from Holiness you're very far away from Holiness and it's time to make that change why because there's no reason to check if your male parts are there there's no reason to check if your female parts are there why if they weren't you would know but we have gotten accustomed to the point of allowing filth into our minds unbeknown to us that it's even filth and thereby when people learn different lectures about and uh the issues of immorality it's a shock to their entire spiritual immune system because they never viewed things from that perspective so it's very important to understand that when the sages when the Torah itself mentions the issues of the bit of the Covenant of the of the issues of the male or female parts they're not talking about it in a filthy disgusting minded of today's society but rather in a Torah perspective where this particular part of the body is in essence the determining factor of whether someone will ever become a holy person or not and whether that seed will be a seed that will produce produce Holiness or it's going to be a seed that's going to produce demons the choice is ours the key is to understand that when yobu is telling his son to put his hand there that's because they understand that this is the most valuable connection they have to a and this is what distinguishes them from the Canaanites the Canaanites were also people the Canaanites also had needs the Canaanites also put their uh uh clothes on and put their clothes off and and breathe and they're people just like everybody says what what's the difference between the Jewish people and the rest of the people why are they chosen this is the reason why they're chosen when a Jew wants to sanctify themselves there is nothing greater in the world in that such a Jew why because that is a distinguishing factor that the the Nations do not have such policies and even if you say yeah but some of the other uh religions also say that you shouldn't do it yes they say that you shouldn't do it while they say to allow things that are much much worse so to understand what the sanctity is of of the breit is to understand what the foundation of the Torah is now after this we see that this whole uh discussion is in itself putting us to question what's going on here why because yob is in essence telling his son YF Ben was so righteous so beautiful both spiritually and physically that when he gets the blessing he gets the most extensive blessing out of all the brothers but yet yov makes him swear why does he have to make him swear why not just tell them listen don't bury me in Egypt the end or just do me a favor don't BR me in Egypt why does he have to not only make him swear but make him swear with in essence everything on the line because yov is in essence telling his son YF I know that the other brothers will also want to do my will but you're the only one that has a position of power that can actually fulfill it the second thing is that you have to understand is that you're going to have a lot of uh opportunities to not listen to me one of those things is that par who is an idol worshipper with a nation full of idol worshippers they're going to try to turn me into a place of uh of idolatry they're going to try to pray to me and they're going to tell you no no you can't bury your father outside of Egypt you have to bury him here since he came to Egypt the the the famine ended instead of lasting seven years it only lasted two years your father is a blessing but since he came here every time par goes to the Nile River the Nile River in essence bows to him you know obviously yob is a very very special person we don't want his body to be anywhere else we want to pray to him we want to go uh uh sit next to him we want to draw him we're going to do everything with him so of course par is not going to want it so that's why you have to swear why do you have to swear how is swearing what is a uh care about the Jewish people making any swears what is does he abide by the Tor no abides by his own interest and the mid tells us it's also in that when yadik was in the prison the night before the night before called him up while in essence while par was having those dreams Mal Gabel came to YF and taught him 70 languages in one night in essence of one instance he taught him 70 languages now although YF was a genius sad beforehand now he got to a completely different level why do I need to know 70 languages now everybody that was in part of the Sedin also had to know 70 languages but they had a lot more than just one night to learn them YF had a matter of a few hours you have to know all the languages why tomorrow par is going to call you and after you interpret his dream he's going to see whether he can prove to the others that you are fit to be a visoy because the Egyptians hate the Hebrews in fact they hate the Hebrews they hate Shepherds and there's no way in the world that they would submit to the laws of somebody that they feel is disgusting so we have to prove that you fit how do we have to prove the way that the kingdom was uh was uh uh May uh selected in in Egypt at the time was based on the knowledge of languages whoever knew the most amount of languages was King knew 69 languages and the uh the way that they signified this in the Kingdom of parau is that there were there were 70 steps there were 70 steps to the throne of par and in essence par was 69 of them he fulfilled and every time that uh uh he spoke to ysf he said something in a different language and YF had to answer him in that language to prove that he speaks that language and each time he would go up another step and another step and another step but after he got the 69 languages which is the maximum that knew then YF said it and responded in Hebrew a language that Paro himself did not know which in essence meant that technically YF was supposed to become king not visoy but since only par heard this made YF swear swear that you're not going to tell anybody else that you know one more language than me swear to me and ysf swore to him that he's not going to do it so now yob who was a prophet tells y when comes to you and he tells you don't take your father out of here we need his holy body in Egypt what's better than Egypt we'll build him a whole pyramid youf says no I swore to my father and he's going to tell you okay you swore to your father but I'm still king and you have to answer him yes you're right you are King but of course if I cancel my swear to my father that means that I have to cancel all of swears including the one that I made to you years ago when we had that little discussion on the 70th step and at that moment understood that he had no choice that's the reason behind the swear now the interesting thing that I saw today is that YF doesn't really ask his father why are you making me swear in essence YF hears his father's request and simply says that's it I'll do as you say no questions asked no discussion no why do you want me to do this why you making me swear why we doing this whole bleed thing why you why don't you bring the other brothers no questions by yourself why isn't y asking questions because we know that whoever is a whoever is smart it's is shown by their questions not by their uh uh their Answers by rather by their questions the uh the that would hear good questions would take time answering those questions and it was one that heard a question from somebody that was in the name of one of the sages from the previous generation and they said for the do you know the answer and says hold on a second let me enjoy this for a will enjoy what the question from one of the from the previous generation you just brought me a question that's what I'm enjoying not the answer yeah I give you an answer but that's not as much fun as look at the mind of a enjoying the question questions are determined determine a person's intellect they see where and how that person thinks most people think that if you have all the information perhaps that what that's what makes you smart not necessarily could it makes you prepared perhaps you could prepare yourself for things and you could answer questions or you simply have The Gift of Gab and you could just talk your way out of any hole even if what you're saying is wrong it sounds right because you have confidence answering questions does not determine whether a person's smart or not what kind of questions they ask that's a different story now of course answering questions is critical if you you answer the questions correctly but sometimes people are so focused on on looking good they forget what they're even doing like the joke that uh I I said once before but I think it's worth saying again that there was one guy that was a complete idiot but pretended to be smart and uh he says to listen I I I think I think I get the job I'm I'm better than everybody else you have I don't understand how do you think why do you think that you're better than everybody I have do I do you know all of the people that I have I don't need to know I know everything about everything ask me anything you want so a guy says okay uh listen since uh we deal with a lot of mathematical issues and so on what is the uh let's see if you know basic math I don't know what's uh 5 Time 5 17 no no no no ask me another one ask me another one okay uh 10 * 10 three no no oh no no come on ask another one ask another one ask another one okay what's 1 + 7 37 hold on a second you just said that you're smarter than everybody else that I have here I have physicists here I have astrologers here I have people that you know are mathematical genius is here you can't even figure first grade math what makes you think you're better than everybody else guess forget about that you're focusing too much on the answers did you notice how fast I could answer you that's an idiot but unfortunately the world is is full of such people the world is full of such people that are too focused on looking good rather than whether their content actually makes any sense typically this is one of the habits of the Heretics that are always unprepared but unfortunately always look like they know what they're talking about hence the reason why they uh they succeed in causing people to sin but if you double check their answ you double check their sources nine out of 10 times you'll see that it's completely off completely wrong and the one time that it's right typically it's not because they knew it but rather because they uh simply it's the one bit of information they do know and they simply decided to put that piece of the puzzle in the first place that they saw now here we see that yobu is asking yourself a very big question a very big agreement and YF does not have much questions here as smart as he is he's not asking much questions showing that YF in this particular instance has shown his blindly Blind Faith in The Blind Faith in the Unfortunately today this is nowhere to be found many people say that they believe in the Torah but they separate the tah from its sages they believe that if there's not a explanation that they understand simply that means that nobody knows or perhaps that everybody's wrong except themselves and when a rabbi tells them something if they don't like the answer they'll just ask another one there's very little we spoke about it yesterday in the sh about what's happening uh in the world as a result of uh of people falling for the Trap of the Satan they're also showing uh their lack of and thereby everyone has become an advocate for one side or the other some are pushing the vaccine as the Cure of all diseases and some are pushing the empti vaccine as if this is the Angel of Death himself this is outright poison and everyone's going to take it is going to have AIDS and is going to have uh uh you know problems giving birth and so on and so forth all types of other crazy types of things now of course you have people that have heard the words of some of theim and say okay I'm going to listen to the that says take it or others that say I'm going to listen to the that says don't take it fine but then there are people that they decide whatever they want to do and they decide to fight whoever disagrees with them even if that is a so much so that they threatened the lives of many rabbis including are torturing many other rabbis showing up to their lectures insulting them distracting them uh all types of insults on the internet literally the the the sewer that was inside their body just being vomited day and night without a stoppage and I've seen with my own eyes people that consider themselves righteous turn into vicious monsters when it comes to speaking about rabbis that that are righteous people but yet disagree with their opinion about what to do with this Corona virus vaccine and you see both men and women this trap part of the reason of why these people have fallen is because they don't actually have any I had one guy that thinks of himself as a that no no if it's not mosu then we don't have toim that we don't have to listen to it even though the says that every generation has the mosu every of the generation are are what you listen to you don't need to wait for mosenu and there's obviously an endless amount of instructions from the Torah itself from the oral Torah from the written Tor from the from the but no no all of that is in the garbage because this Rabbi however big he is he's an idiot why because he disagreed with my opinion about what to do with the vaccine unfortunately this is a tragedy like no other that we've seen in recent history in my opinion this could turn into something much much worse than the Holocaust if it hasn't already because at least the Holocaust killed bodies and the righteous people still went to heaven but here you have people killing their n and before this whole thing happened there were like 5050 decent people some even very good people that had a share of the world to come but they simply decided to throw that share of the world to come in the garbage as soon as they heard that some big Rabbi disagrees with their opinion and unfortunately this this is a result of lack of of course lack of but that lack of lack of fear of Heaven leads to lack of in faith in the sages where you understand that the sages are saying to you what the Torah is saying they're not saying something out of their own mind they're not saying something for any uh uh benefit of some kind but of course the the people that disagree they'll not only uh uh mistreat the sages but they'll literally act just like theim of the of the uh when we were 40 years in a desert that accused mosenu of the worst most heinous crimes in the world where they literally say no this Rabbi is pushing the uh the vaccine because fizer is probably paying him off he's probably getting paid off for every lecture that he's pushing the vaccine he's probably getting a few cents into his nonprofit organization all types of mumbo jumbo conspiracy garbage and literally you you you ask yourself how do these people have enough brain power to put their pants on one leg at a time how do they have their brain power to take a spoon and feed themselves they literally should be instituted but nonetheless these people are walking Among Us and there are literally hundreds of millions of them and unfortunately many millions of them are actually Jews now the issue here is that you have opinions on both sides from great you have people you have that say take the vaccine you have that say don't take the vaccine so which one do you listen to We have said it time and time again that regardless of which side you want to go with as long as you're doing it because the said it you have something to rely on there's way to put it that I heard from of Simply a story about one of the from the previous generationa was one of the Giants of the generation was the of and of course he understood that there are certain people in the world that are simply Wicked was an extraordinary a is and uh he gave one time he gave a shield there a lot of people there and in that sh showed up one guy religious guy and he asks the a question what does he asked the a question Rabbi what's the what's the when it comes to such and such issue now you would think what's the problem of asking what's the of such and such issue what's the problem this is really what the rabbi is there for no no why because everyone in that room hundreds of people knew that that week that week there was another that was a serious person that came out with a came out with a seph published a with a about a specific matter that was the opposite of what himself published so in essence what is he doing he's putting up on the spot to what go to war with this other why cuz some people they look religious they have a beard they have a hat they even will you know have a stral they even call themselves Rabbi all types of things but sometimes all they want is not Torah they want fights they want fights since they're not allowed to fight to to watch fights on on television they're not allowed to fight in the streets they're not all to do that stuff so what do they do they like to watch rabbis fight that's their but that's their favorite not fight for the valid reason where you're trying to protect the Tora but rather fight because they like that was an extraordinary knew what's going on in a matter of a half a second and he answers this person in front of everybody he says well it comes to this particular some people can do such and such and they have somebody to rely on meaning this other and some people can do something else the other thing the other opposite and they also have somebody to rely on meaning himself and the people that agree with him but you have nobody to rely on why because you like you like fights there are certain people literally they never ask me any questions but what do they send me non-stop did you see what such and such did maybe maybe uh we should uh do something about it what you think I do this fun go call out people just because I want to get views or something like people are sick they're sick they're looking for something that somebody did wrong even if nobody in the world knows who this person is and nobody in the world even agrees that this is wrong but they'll come to me why they want me to be the police or they themselves do it oh listen Rabbi I saw that this guy in some country he he made a a a YouTube video and he said everything such and such and such and such and such but there was a picture in the background with his wife on it so I had to call him out so I made a whole post 87 lines with 6,000 words explaining to this guy how wrong he is for making such a video I did good right Rabbi be T that's what you did T but unfortunately some people like m they like fights they like action unfortunately this is part of the people that at times like to watch some of our lectures but usually they fall off at some point or another and they end up turning us into their enemy when they realize that the rebuke that we have against specific people is for the sake of the torat not for the sake of our honor and eventually when a person listens to enough shim they realize that the rebuke also pertains to them and if they're not looking for the truth then they'll obvously take it personally and they'll turn us into amalik into ham into into Hitler into whoever you want but we become Enemy Number One why because they weren't looking for the truth reality is if you're going to rebuke people you better check yourself first do you have an interest what's the purpose behind your rebuke who are you trying to help yourself or somebody else and it's a very very tough question at times if a person does not really know how to how to check himself but either way we have here the whole situation with Yu and and yobu is putting yourself to the test do you have I'm asking you a question I'm asking you to make a promise y does not ask any questions why he has in another place later on we see that you're allowed to ask questions you're allowed to ask questions why we see it we see that when yov gives the blessing to the sons of of ysf he does something that is not viewed favorably by Yousef when he puts his hands on the sons on the heads of the sons of YF he crisscrosses his hands where he puts his right hand on the younger son and his left hand on the older son in essence meaning that the bigger blessing goes to the younger son and the smaller blessing goes to the older son and uh y y looks at it in a uh displeasing way and he says uh uh that this is not so father for this is the firstborn meaning he thought that his father was making a mistake but yov corrects him and says I know my son I know meaning it's okay you're allowed to ask questions but are you asking questions because you're questioning whether I know what I'm doing or I made a mistake where is the question stemming from and this is really what makes all the difference you're always allowed to ask questions that's in essence one of the primary purposes of having a rabbi you're able to ask questions get guidance and so on but sometimes you give certain people advice and they don't like your advice but they are shy to tell you that they don't like it so what do they do they ask you the same exact question with different words they ask you the same question with different words or better yet they say to you listen I know you said such and such but Rabbi such and such said differently can you explain why he said what he said why do I need to explain why somebody else said what they said I know what I said and I know why I said it why do I need to explain why somebody else said it why don't you go ask him why don't you go ask them why do I need to explain it the truth is why do you come to me with questions if you don't trust what I say and many times it's because the audience the students are certain that this Rabbi is smart but not as smart as them they always believe that yeah he's smart in a lot of things but this particular question I think I know more than him this particular issue I don't think he knows what he's talking about he knows a lot he don't get me wrong he's a big tadik and they say listen he's a great person he tadik he does good things he's amazing I can't say enough but in this particular issue I don't think he knows what he's talking about or let me say nice way I think he doesn't know all the facts this is in essence the argument that many people use to justify their evil nature when they speak against in regards to this Corona vaccine and so on like yeah he's a but only up to a limit when it comes to this he doesn't know what he's talking about he's not a doctor but you're a doctor you're a doctor you're a diagnostician you are a bi biologist you are a chemist you are a NASA uh astronaut too you everything but he doesn't know you know unfortunately this issue is not a new issue it's called lack of lack of faith in the sages which really means that the person himself does not believe in the Torah itself you say no what do you mean I believe in the Torah I know all the proofs no no part of the Torah is to understand that gives the Torah to those that toil and toil over it and you are not allowed to go right or left against their words part of believing in the Torah part of believing in the Torah is to have and a person say yeah but I believe in other things but not this okay so you're a heretic in regards to this particular mitvah it's a very serious problem why because without you really cannot move in any particular direction with actual certainty because you don't really know if what you're doing is right unless one of theim says what you're doing is Right W but don't I have my own mind yes you do have your own mind but your own mind is not always going to get you to the right direction the has the Torah as his mind why because he is deciding based on what the Torah says his understanding of the Torah which is 100% Divine assistance the more he is responsible for more people the more I'll have if he's just a that's by himself and doesn't interact with anybody else he's not going to have the same level of this is why I always tell different that we work with and different people that I know the best gift that they can give themselves is to start helping people learn to and do CH why because since you obviously an you're learning all day you're learning all night you love the tor that means you you would appreciate to get more T the greatest way to get more T is if decides that you are a vessel he wants to put in more Torah what would make Hashem decide such a thing isn't just studying Torah enough to convince hem to give you Torah no there are a lot of people that study Tor but they don't get to the shoelace of some other why because because will give you the Torah that you need give you the Torah that you deserve if your needs are individual needs if your uh merits are your own individual merits then you have a certain portion allow it to you but if you help other people do chuv if you teach the public to you know Tor the more you help people get closer to Hashem the more their merits become part of yours and Essence meaning when does the accounting of who should I give more to more knowledge more clarity the one that's going to going to take responsibility for 100 people a thousand people 10,000 people or somebody that just wants to write books for himself and perhaps for his family and but really just wants to be who am I going to give it to surely it's going to be to the person that is responsible for more people even if that person St studies less than some of the others he'll end up getting a lot more why because when does the accounting he sees that here you have a 100,000 people that need toah from this vessel here you have 10 people that need toah from this vessel so the calculation is based on the People based on the people that's why people that end up doing very serious uh teaching K and things of that nature they get much higher level of in their Torah learning than average people but nonetheless the average person out there cannot really relate to this particular issue well perhaps they could relate to the next part you see when a person understands what Torah is understands what is divine assistance is understands what a is needless to say they don't have many questions about what the says they have questions about something the G hasn't talked about meaning he'll go ask the g go ask his Rabbi what do I need to do with ABC where do I need to go to get ABC what do you think of ABC whatever the issue is but if the Rabbi says go here go there do this do that generally speaking they're not going to ask many questions why if he's really a then surely he thought of the questions that I have and when he answered the question when he answered my my question he took that into consideration what are some examples of this Shalom was not only a very big kir RAB but was also a something out of this world if he wasn't so active in helping people do Chua helping people get closer to Hashem constantly teaching everywhere there'll be no doubt in my mind that he himself would be considered literally one of the not just in the world of kiru and helping people and but also literally in every other aspect of course he's considered a giant but I'm talking about he would be considered even more than what he was despite all of this despite how much of genius and committed he was to the tah never taking a penny for a s single lecture never fighting never fighting over the issues of money never chasing money just focusing on tah focusing on getting people to see the truth telling them the truth to their face the level of that he had in was literally unsurpassed in his bio which a fantastic book highly recom recommended for anybody you read a lot of stories about him but some of the most fascinating stories about are his interactions between him and his and big rabbis all types of big rabbis he was connected to the top of the top the sty his sonki lein I mean everybody uh the the Kish I mean it's literally every Gad was a uh someone that not only knew him but respected him and it was amazing one time he uh we talking about something like 25 30 years ago 40 years ago even he uh wanted to go ask a sh from AFI Ra kvki was already known as a extraordinary but not in the same extent as he is today obviously many years have passed he wanted to ask kki and when he got there he saw that there's a line of people waiting to seei so he waited online everybody understood that is there it's like no no you go what are you standing online we're regular people you says no I'm standing online just like you guys why why would I would never cut the people couldn't uh deal with this some somebody whispered to the look is is waiting for the he's waiting forki immediately kki heard this he himself got out of his chair came out says come come come goes no no he's in the back of the line no no RAB I'm waiting online like everybody else he says no Shalom you wait like everybody else you come right away and he literally had to convince him to come and see him that's how much honor he had for the why why should I deserve more of his time than anybody else also a cavod for the B the B the the rest of the people they were there another story is that uh his son says his son uh uh uh tells a story that when he was four years old he had a uh dangerously a dangerous cough a dangerous uh uh Health situation the uh the cough was at a point where the doctors really didn't know what to do no one knew what to do but it was a very very serious cough soad took his son to the took his son to the K to ask the for some advice and a here's whaton is saying within a without skipping a beat or getting confused he says toon go to the Yon go to the Yon over there in that uh in that uh near the river near the near the water there are eucalyptus trees and because there's eucalyptus trees there there's special air that's going to help the boy breathe without getting confused takes his four-year-old son and they go and they go and find themselves a boat that they can start rowing without any experience or knowledge how to row boats and they're on the river and the son who himself became a very big says the whole time my father is struggling with the river struggling with figuring out how to boat and how to row he keeps repeating himself over and over again to listen to the words of the to listen to the words of the to listen to the words of the for a half hour he's rowing the boat just repeating listening to the words of the eventually they get to the other side after a half hour of rowing and uh they ask the person that was there uh to help them get onto the uh get onto the bank and uh they asked him if he knows the area specific where we're looking for uh uh you know for eucalyptus trees the person said yeah yeah you can go this particular direction so they started walking little bit through a bunch of different trees and the four-year-old son suddenly the cough CES down within one hour within one hour he was cured the little boy says to radon's Father ABA that there is the cured us says no no no what value does the Yon have what value does the have apart from the blessing of the Kish it's not the that cured us it's that listened to the blessing of the that's why you see when a person has they don't ask why do I need to go to a river can I get a pill instead maybe there's something else easier Rabbi those questions never come up why if you have you already put into calculation that he already thought of this another time when raon was supposed to go on one of his long trips he went to lein the mov for a blessing but what happened is that two weeks before that there was AIT for one of the grandsons ofadon andon couldn't go because he didn't feel well andin went and he asked where's uh where's the grandfather where's said no no he he doesn't feel well so when came to lein and told him listen I want you to uh give me blessing before I go on this trip Le says to him yes but your your legs didn't you say you couldn't come to the immediately said okay he turned around went back to his house the whole house is full full of luggages he tells his wife the trip is canceled why it's cancelled what do you mean but the the boat will go you're supposed to go right it's in a few hours it's canceled why is it canceled though because lein said it's cancelled he said don't go he said that I'm not healthy to go well tell me what he said well I went to to ask for a blessing and he said to me but your legs now of course knows that already a couple of weeks have passed since my legs were hurting me but yet he still felt the need to tell me that my legs that means I'm not going any question that I have is irrelevant because surely he already took it into account he canceled the trip we're not talking about a trip that's easy to make like today you just go on internet press a couple of buttons and you on a plane five minutes later we're not talking about a trip that's easy to make where you make a few phone calls they set you up lectures and you have a bunch of places to go to we're not talking about an easy trip where it's easy to pay and these people are swimming in money we're talking about a major loss major hardship without a question why said no that's it yeah but he didn't say no he said no why he already said how could I be going if my legs hurt two weeks ago surely he knows what he's talking about and as you would have it not going as a result of that many many things happened that were favorable to him that wouldn't have happened in any other way it wouldn't have happened in any other way if you would have went why listening to the so we see here this lit This Book is Full full of stories about and other this particular book is called The Voice of Truth highly recommended I always recommend for you guys to read the bios of because you'll understand how hasem truly runs the world much better if you read the stories of the lives of the than if you look at things from your own perspective and the Beautiful Thing here is that we see that on one way in one uh one particular instance Yakov does not ask any questions why do you need me to swear why do I have to touch the breit what's all of this stuff about there's no question why surely if you're asking me to swear you thought about it you thought about it on the other hand surely if this particular issue is asked and you gave me an answer your answer did not include everything that I thought of at that moment but later on I had some new thoughts that's only because I had those thoughts doesn't mean that you didn't have those thoughts just because I had a new thought three days later that I didn't mention in my question doesn't mean that you didn't think of it also at the time that you answer the question but the problem is when we compare the to ourselves we also compare our own limitations to the we figure that since we just discovered something new or looked at things in a new way that perhaps when they gave us the answer they didn't realize what we just discovered which means we don't really have him and many times this leads to a life of struggle because you cannot live a single day without having more doubts in your life and anxiety because no answer from any will ever satiate you there was one time a woman came to me and said listen I uh have all these difficulties such and such and I gave her some guidance mainly she should do chuva keep Shabbat become modest and so on and so forth time passed she didn't listen her life got worse she came back said listen can you tell me some new you know some something about what's going on I need to talk to a cabalist I said about what about my problems did you do everything that I said no no no I need to talk to a cabalist I said yeah but the cabalist is not really going to change anything you're still regardless of who what when and how you still have to keep Shabbat keep this keep that and most importantly be modest can you just give me a cabalist little while later I sent her a message said wow P play Wonder of Wonders the answer was the same you have to do CH become modest observe Shabbat and so on he says wow he's so right I really need to do it thank you no questions asked why she she didn't know it helped her life you see sometimes you have to give people an answer with a lot of details sometimes you have to give people an answer with little details it doesn't depend on their level of intellect but rather on their level of trust in what you're saying if a person has a lot of trust in what you're saying you don't need to explain too much just tell them this is a b c 1 2 3 the end it's a person that doesn't trust what you say you have to try to train them try to help them try to guide them to get to that point where they understand that what you're saying is what the tah is in essence guiding them to do and that's it but unfortunately this is never an easy job because sometimes you have to get to a point where you realize I give up I am not the vessel for you to ask questions you have to go to a different you have to go to somebody else why but I have a lot of questions I know you have a lot of questions but you're not accepting the answers that I'm giving you and what ends up happening is that other people are suffering because of of your questions why are other people suffering because that time could be spent as you know helping other people since you are not going to you're not going to accept this's answers anyway what's the point of asking the questions if it's purely for entertainment go smash your head against the wall a few times perhaps you'll be more entertained maybe even the will be entertained when he hears what you did but the reality is there's no point of asking a question if you're not willing to accept the answer before you ask the question question meaning if you're going to go ask a question regardless of who it is you have to already take onto yourself whatever I get that's what I accept it's like God himself told me this answer if you're not ready to accept that don't ask the question why because you're only making your life more difficult you're only making your life more difficult and many times I try to break my head with certain people I go I double check I double check with ra FR anytime that I have something especially if it's a strong opinion about something or if it's a uh if it's something that even if I have 1% doubt I always double check always double check and when I give the information I tell him listen I double check this is what I thought and if agreed or disagreed or whatever he said this is what the information is and the most frustrating thing in the world is when people go and send you in a goose chase you go get the information they get it and they simply say ah you know what I already asked somebody else and he told me something else so I'm just going to go with that one of the most frustrating things in the world why because it's simply a big waste of time unfortunately this is part of it you have to continue doing it regardless but the main thing is is if if if we as as regular people are going to ask questions really the onus is is on us to already accept the answer before we even got it in fact accept the answer before we even ask the question that's how we know whether we have or not if we're not able to do that it's better off for us not to ask the questions because if you're looking for a answer that agrees with your pre-existing mentality perhaps you can figure it out on your own al already just like a lot of people have decided what they wanted to do with the vaccine one way or the other before they asked many they're just looking for somebody to agree with them that's not the right approach that's that's approach is an approach that eventually will have a very very tough bump in the road to say the least but here we see that although a person is allowed to ask questions it's not because he has lack ofu put y under the test told him to do something [Music] unusual YF had no questions but when he saw something else when he saw no this is is not something unusual this is something that perhaps it's a mistake why because he has his hand crossed it's it's something that you know it's right there maybe he thinks that this son is the older one and this son is the younger one why because you know it's they're kids he has many grandkids that's it that's why I'm asking the question perhaps this is something is going on perhaps the kid's going to be insulted maybe he could do it in a different way all you didn't like the way it was so you asked the question comes and says to your what does it mean I know I know why I know I know it looks weird but this is the way I got my blessing from my father my blessing was supposed to go to asav but made a switch and I got the blessing instead so just like I got the blessing from my father this way where everything was switched this is the way it needs to happen why because here you have two boys one of them the younger one a Gib in the world of Torah the other one is a Gib but in business in helping his father the younger one needs more blessing so how come I'm going to give a blessing later on to your brother is that's a businessman before I give the to that is a b why shouldn't it be the same no it cannot be the same why because here we have two brothers one is learning tah and one is a uh is is is financing theah so the one that's learning tah is only succeeding in learning tah with Comfort because his brother is financing it he's a Torah investor he's a partner so all of his Torah is thanks to his brother hence the reason of why he deserves the blessing first that's the reason why the brother deserves the blessing first because he's the one that's financing it even though the one that's learning Tora it's Fant fantastic is amazing everything is great but we have to understand that there is a priority list if you're going to help somebody learn tah you're going to help somebody do K you're going to help somebody do all the wonderful things that they do in a Torah world then surely you're going to get a blessing and the one mistake I made was the zon zun is the one that financed the t is is the uh one that learned T so zun is the one that got the bless even though he's financing the T he learns T but that's not his priority his priority was to work make money and finance the tah donate money give money to to publicize to build a k to build the ISA to build a synagogue to to publicize more USBS and CDs and and videos and so on that was his priority he gets the blessing first from yobu from his father yov the one that learned T he got blessing after him because his tah was in essence dependent on the investment of his brother but in the case of uh of the sons of YF it was different why was it different the one that learned tah got the blessing first not second why because he was being financed by his father he was being financed by his father his brother that was in essence helping his father wasn't financing his brother so in essence that's why the one that's learning to he gets the blessing first he gets the blessing first so that's where we see how the uh the that says that uh uh it's much more praiseworthy or much more meritorious I should say much more Merit goes to the person that helps another do and fulfill a mitvah than the one that actually does it meaning if you help somebody do CH you will get more reward than they do for what they're doing they put put on to filling you get a merit of of them putting on to filling but the Merit that you got is even bigger than what they're getting you help somebody a learn T they are getting a mitvah for every second that they're learning T you are getting more why you help them you help them so it's an extraordinary thing to help other people do good things especially when it comes to the Torah world because the reward you're going to get for helping another person is great than they're getting and it's even greater than what you're getting for what you're doing yourself meaning you helping another person do Chu and because you helped them do chat they're going to keep Shabbat so now you have three different merits every Shabbat one Merit you have for the Shabbat that you keep one Merit you have was for the Shabbat that they kept right they they they uh they kept but the Merit the bigger biggest part is that you're going to get the biggest part is going to be for what they're keeping why because you are you helped them keep it so you have three different in essence three different merits one they're getting for themselves one you're getting for yourself but then there's another Merit which is the one that you're getting for helping them do it and that third Merit that's the biggest Merit of all that's the greatest of all so here we see that the sons of yob the sons of of ysf they were good peopleim righteous yov says they're like my Sons why they like my sons why didn't he make all of the other grandsons also like the tribes he says no no and also the another question is why did yob tell that that the rest of the kids that are born to you after these two after they're going to be to you meaning these two kids they're special they're becoming part of the tribes they're like my kids but the rest of the kids that you have also the rest of the kids that your brothers have all of my other grandkids they're like yours these two are special why these two special why not the sons of Yuda one of them one of the sons of Yuda the mashia comes from him so why not him being one of the tribes why not the sons of the grandkids of of Dan was shim he was a prophet why wasn't he one of the tribes why not anybody else why is in the grandson of leevi mosenu one of the tribes how come just the F man say it's important to know that yov looked at things differently than we did we look at things we ask a lot of questions and we say why this why this why that yov says look you're looking at everybody being equal all everybody son so all grandsons are equal everybody has a son All Sons are equal everybody has a daughter all daughters are equal yob doesn't look at that he says what is the essence of this boy what is is the essence of this this these children relevant to everybody else you see all of the other sons all of the other grandsons that I have are different why they grew up in my household they grew up in a FR neighborhood so they didn't have the tests like a fing fireman a they grew up in in Harlem they grew up in the projects they grew up among Idol worshippers they grew up in Cooper City they grew up nowhere nothing to be found closest store that has koser food is 20 minutes away nothing that's where they grew up and they still were tell me they were still religious they were still glued to hem why because they're like my sons they have the strength of Shimon Le s God everybody they're like this they they're powerful people if they could be righteous from despite their neighborhood that's full of these people are special the rest of the grandkids that grew up in my household I can't say that they didn't have the same test what about the other kids what about the other kids of yourself ah you can't calculate that why because because now we're all here your new kids they're going to grow up in a FR neighborhood just like the other grandkids nobody could ever be like a fling man they were unique they started the community before the community even knew that it was a community so you see when yobu gives the blessing to these two nobody asks a question how come they got a blessing nobody asked the question why did the get a blessing because they know that the the prophet yob knew he knew what he was doing he knew what he was doing and the only thing that we need to do for ourselves is to figure out all of the other wonderful things that he already knew just like that and that's what we toil we toil to figure out how the arrived at his opinion not how the is wrong but how the arrived at his opinion how the conclude what he said surely he's right by default he's right we're wrong if we disagree if a person looks at that way their life will be much easier why because they already have a decision for everything that didn't happen before it happened because the Torah already has those decisions but if a person is always going to want the to agree with what they think they're never going to get the answers no answer will ever be enough with that being said there's much much more but I know you guys have questions we've already passed our typical amount of time let's uh let's get closer to the screens and BM get a drink and uh and ask uh answer some questions okay let's see I already made a blessing before for anybody uh okay so we have first question by uh Danny Danny Dodge okay hi awesome rabt my brother asked me a question which I didn't know how to respond to hopefully you can answer it today he asked the question question along the lines of is it possible that corrupted any of the talmud or any other Jewish writing to deceive us from within our own tah I said no I don't think it's remotely possible but I don't know how I can back this up are you able to offer any insight on the matter sure there is no document in the world that has been analyzed by anybody as much as the tud has the Babylonian talmud there are literally millions of books that the the the wise men of of of is the greatest Minds in history have written about the talmud because the talmud is the foundation of our oral tah everything is a is built on top of it all of the things that we have uh so much so that the uh without without the written Torah without the written Torah we still have Judaism but without the talmud we don't have Judaism because we won't know how to interpret the written tah without the tud we won't know how to interpret the uh the laws without the tud everything is in a tud and all of the books that are written until this day if they have if they're considered uh real Torah wisdom their s their primary source is the tud uh anyone that is a delving into the world of Al has to go into the talmud even though we don't pasin from the talmud because the was already made by the early sages 900 years ago but you still have to look at all of the different back and forth arguments that uh that were had in order to look at all of the possibilities before you go into and reviewing all of the opinions of the early sages and before you go into the final conclusion so the the tud has been analyzed reviewed in so many different ways uh that uh you literally have millions of books uh that are were written by the smartest men that ever lived uh and uh more than anything else everything has been fact checked everything has uh been compared where if let's say for example there was some bad people that tried to to change any part of the tah whether the written tah or the oral tah this would have been discovered throughout the years when the different places combined when the different places saw each other so let's say if somebody you could say the same thing about the written tah if let's say they decide to change not the whole tah but just one sentence or even or even less one word one word in the instead of I don't know saying mhe they'll say they'll say Shimon or they'll say now at some point this this would show up somewhere else let's say the the wicked person was in uh in in in Florida or in Minnesota when he wrote this nonsense okay now eventually the in is going to get a question that has to do with this and say how come and everybody here in the town their Torah it says Moshe but I have what looks like an older manuscript because it has cobwebs on it perhaps maybe it's because nobody reads it but it says Shimon on it or it says Aon on it so can you explain that to me sure and I'll explain and show and prove how what we have is the is the Heritage that we have from generation to generation and so on the same concept applies in the tal where everything has been analyzed reanalyzed and so on of course there are have been printer errors from time to time but nothing to the extent that it was so material where you saw that these things were intentionally removed in order to change things uh in order to uh deceive people intentionally the only time such a thing was done was by the zionists but they did that by uh with the Hebrew language where the Ben who uh in essence uh uh created or or or or uh or popularized modern day Hebrew uh and uh he took a lot of the words from the holy language and uh and made that the the the foundation but then he took other words from the holy language and he just gave them different meanings and many times the opposite of what they really meant because they you know him and the rest of the Zionist hated the Torah so they did it with this the actual language but in our Tor both the r t and the oral Torah all of these things have been studied so every single word that we have we know its meaning because we know that it has a source in the Torah itself we know that it has a source in the Tor we have to a uh uh know that this is referring to that I'll give you an example from let's say from this week's Paras this week's Paras uh when uh m when uh when when yov is a uh is giving a blessing to uh to yourf uh he is uh telling them that uh this is a person uh that uh yeah here it is seem that uh Charming son is YF a Charming son to the eye each of the daughters climbed Heights to gaze and then it says they uh they embittered him the owners of arrows what is this the owners of arrows what is the owners of arrows so if you're reading it in a uh uh an art Scroll of uh of let's say of uh uh of the Kash then typically your English translation is not going to be the owners of arrows but rather became Arrow tonged men why is how come it says Arrow tonged men and not owners of arrows which is the literal meaning of this word because when it's the anyone that reads the uh knows thear explains this we know that when it's referring to to arrows then it's referring to people that say now if the Zionist will tell you no no he he was uh he was the people that had arrows were the ones that were embittering his life so all the robin hoods in the world were embittering y sik's life this stupidity no it's what it's referring to is people that said so there are many many places like that and when you learn you also learn what's called uh and I'm not referring to the arama because that in itself is also another subject and also very holy language but nonetheless the Kesh is the holy language that's written in the Torah itself and learning it is is critical for a person to truly understand the inner meanings of verses not just the basic meanings but the inner meanings and all of this is in the talmud and when a person the more a person learns the talmud the more they understand that not only is this a authentic but this is divine because there is in information in the talmud that no human being could have thought of uh anyone that wants to see some examples of that uh go you can watch some of the uh Torah science and ancient wisdom uh series of films that we made I believe there's six of them uh and we bring different statements from the talmud that no human being could have thought of conjured up because of his own intellect and so on so the more a person learns the talmud the more they learn how to think like a Jew and most importantly the more they understand uh where the sages stand and where uh they do and typically the people that uh speak against the talmud or speak against the Z are people that have never read it uh and uh one of the examples is uh that Mesa who constantly speaks against uh every part of the Tah because he just simply has created his own religion but anyway he thinks that you should view the uh the uh sages that are in the same way that you view your door neighbor that learned some Torah like he doesn't believe that their opinion is any more valid than theirs or his of course this is a deluded person but nonetheless the uh when somebody you know so you would think okay so this person perhaps he reviewed the entire talmud and that's why he doesn't think so much about these Sages and even speaks even more harsh against the Zar he thinks the the Zar is fables fairy tales uh not uh not significant at all and unfortunately he's not the only idiot that thinks this way but nonetheless what do you see from what's the conclusion of both what is what is the common denominator I should say of both that he never completed reading either one of them in fact he never even completed reading even half of either one of them he's a complete ignoramus doesn't know anything that I have Bim that are 15 16 years old that have already completed the sh and this guy who pretends to be a rabbi and speaks against the sages admits without any uh without any uh shame or anything because it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it that's usually one of the signs of an idiot that he says stupid things he doesn't realize that it's stupid so he thinks though what what they the sages uh they're just same thing as you and me what's what's the big deal so that's the thing uh so whoever asked the question that's a uh as far as doubting the talmud uh the again I don't think that they necessarily always have evil intentions uh but I could assure you one thing they never actually read the T they never studied it when a person studies the tud all of those questions disappear all of those questions disappear the questions are found by people that don't learn when you actually learn from the by itself those questions disappear uh even questions that initially didn't have anything to do with what you're learning it's just that you see the level of Genius uh Divine genius that's in our Torah our written in our oral Torah which again the written T would be illegible without the oral tah and when a person understands these things they see that this is a uh uh you know there's no questions to be had another another example I could tell you that uh also is a great fundamental proof of the oral tah that you can find in uh in this week's parasa is that uh you see that um yob tells yob tells uh uh YF that uh yeah in chapter 48: 21 uh behold I'm about to die God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your fathers as for me I have given you sh one portion more than your brothers which I took from the hand of the amorites with my sword and my bow now which part of the written T did it say thatu ever fought a single battle against anybody did Yu fight a battle against isav no not according to the written tah did Yu shoot any arrows at Deer did he shoot any arrows according to the RTO against Lan even when his daughter din got raped did yov go and fight no but according to this verse he did and that's so he inherited the land so delusional Noom if a person reads the oral tah whether it be the or you'll find it in many mid discusses it there's an entire section entire section there discussing the wars of yov and the and his sons the tribes and here he's referring to those Wars this is in essence the hint to those Wars that yov won Land from the Canaanites from the that were the Amorite Nations so this is part of the reason why when somebody says I only believe in the written T I don't believe in the oral T you know you really want to make sure that this person is instituted in some place unless they're willing to start learning because it's you you do not understand a single verse in the Torah uh without the oral Torah a single verse you cannot understand because it's it's just not it's not legible without the oral Torah so again that oral Torah is constantly connected to the talud constantly the mid are constantly feeding off of the talmud the Z is constantly feeding off of the talmud the everything feeds off of it's the same oral T so everything feeds off each other and adds and and and because there's no work there's no body of work aside from the the five books of Moses theak itself uh that feeds off of itself meaning that every book that we have in the oral tah every book whether whether it's thei the the the the r the ran the two any anybody the uh any any work that you have none of it all the cabala books none of nothing is just by itself meaning it's just one Sage writing a bunch of stuff there's no such thing every single book that was accepted among is as a valid Torah source is a book that is constantly referencing the other uh parts of the oral tah as their Source you can't just decide oh listen I'm going to write a commentary on the K today I'm going to read the verses of the written T and I'm going to decide what they mean there is no such thing no one with a brain will actually pick up this uh this this such a book the Christians do it all the time but that's because that's how they read everything they read everything based on logic that's also the reason why their religion changes every decade you know the the uh the so-called sages of Christianity uh you know uh that were let's say uh uh 1500 years ago very very different than the modern day people modern day people think for example that uh uh that Mary Magdalene is a saint is a is a great person and so on uh the original sages of Christianity if you're talking about let's say the pope of 1500 years ago he actually said that Mary Magdalene is a was a was a prostitute and that was full of sins and she is the main one that in Ence testified to seeing Yos rise from the dead so their entire religion the entire religion of Christianity is is is founded on the premise of some of some prostitute that saw or said she saw some guy that she was in love with rise from the dead nobody else saw she saw it so the whole religion is standing on the the opinion or or the the uh testimony of some hooker that's that's really what what you have here now if you ask your local priest or Reverend or some missionary out there what do they think of Mary Magdalene if they know she is no she's a saint she's great she's amazing she she's the one that shows us that you know we that God forgives sins and and all types of other stupidity but the original sages of Christianity don't believe that why because their Torah is based on whoever whoever what whatever whenever our Torah doesn't have such things our Torah doesn't have such things we have a m so if you if somebody wants to know what to write in their book let's say you want to write a book that's full of Torah you can't come up with just your own opinion because you thought it you have to have a source a valid source that itself has a a valid source that itself has a valid source all the way to the sages of the talmud that it themselves have their Source all the way to the mat in Mount sa that's how our is if there's a book that's published today that does not do that it's not considered Torah it's something that's no different than a newspaper you could throw in the garbage you could even do other uh interesting things in the bathroom with it uh like clean yourself or something you know it's not it's not worth anything why cuz our Torah has a Heritage the Heritage has to connect all the way to mount sa so because there is a constant connection to the original Source there is an endless review of the sources therefore there could not be any chance whatsoever that the wicked people corrupted the talud that we have today not possible there are sections of the talud that were taken out uh due to the fear that uh from the Christian Church uh that didn't like the sections of the talmud that had to do with disproving their idolatrous beliefs there are sections of the T that discuss Jesus and who he really was he was a criminal he was a rash he's in gay so there of course when the uh when the church saw this they burned thousands of copies of the of the talmud and in essence you know killed people murdered them and tortured them raped them all types of evil things that the church has been doing to the Jews for 2,000 years but nonetheless what the sages did is in order to pacify the evil Christians is that they told them they removed these sections from the talud and some of them are very very big sections like in there's almost a half a d half a page is removed but we still have the copies of that original tud so yes it became more popular to have the uh the the ones that were redacted but we always kept the original so the original today if you go to a store that you're going to buy the talmud you're going to get the original one you're not going to get a new one uh you're going to get the original one of course some some some Publishers still publish the old one but nonetheless our m still has all of The Originals there is no uh uh body of work that has been reviewed more intense with more scrutiny with more Geniuses than the talmud there is simply nothing nothing exists uh nothing is compared to it uh because every single Jewish book ever written has to use it as a source uh and therefore forcing every single person that is a to review and review and and many times have to compare have to compare because there are times that they found that there was a printer error because the printing machines weren't the same as they are today back then so there would be printing errors and they would see and you will sometimes see commentary on the uh on the bottom of a tud if you let's say use an art scroll or some other Publishers you'll see yes this is the version we have but there is a different version that has uh this specific word on it meaning that the uh everyone knows what else is there meaning since it's not uh uh something that uh uh it's you could just consider it irrelevant we have to notice we have to not it okay so the vas has this particular word but the other Shaz has a different word and and and we know it and everything is constantly compared which is in essence another uh testifying uh evidence that whatever uh change or so-called corruption could have happened is already discovered is already well you know well noted and uh acknowledged and so uh and that's it that's it but uh it's I think the the most important part of this entire answer is the original part which is to explain to a person that if you really want to question something the most important part is to First study it study it don't question something you don't know anything about question something after you study it don't question the Torah if you never studied it don't question the oral to life if you've never studied it first study the subject then you can question it as much as you want if you have proofs but many times people they conclude based on something they saw in a video or some short article that concluded somebody's opinion about that particular uh uh document now if you're doing uh you know I don't know Cisco and Ebert was a uh movie uh uh uh rating uh company back in uh I don't know 20 30 years ago and um I remember every time they would say oh thumbs up for this movie thumbs down for this movie and so and people would I don't know I guess listen to them now if it's a 2hour movie and a couple of guys decide they like it or don't like it you want to listen to them by by all means it's not no harm no foul you know it's better that you they don't like anything so no one sees any of these junk movies but nonetheless that's not a big deal but if you're going to have a 40 minute uh uh uh video or a uh 10 page or 50 page uh article anal izing and concluding that the that is thousands of pages or the gar that's thousands of pages is not valid I mean obviously you see that there's something wrong with these people there's something wrong with such people it's it's just it's it's it's not it's not no no one with a brain would would would would would believe such a thing but typically that's what happens you have some some guy making a 5minute video or a 40-minute video saying all types of stupid things and he gets an audience why does he get an audience because everybody that's on part of his audience is Also spiritually lazy he himself never reviewed the entire talmud he just simply saw what somebody else wrote and questioned and nobody answered or at least they didn't look for the answers or they couldn't find the answers or whatever the case is he fed off of some other heretic and the heretic fed off some heretic and he just really all that happened is that they made the videos more fancy that's all they did there's really no new content and that's why many times in the uh in the Torah we have uh we have sages that discuss these types of subjects in order to answer the Heretics in order to answer the Heretics and uh and show them that their heresy is a uh is null and void it's not a uh the whole thing that they all of their beliefs have no real Foundation but unfortunately there are certain people that it doesn't matter what you prove them doesn't matter what you prove them they uh they will stay with their uh uh with their ideas because they have an agenda they have a uh an agenda so you have to know for yourself just like you're not going to go to a rocket scientist and tell him that you think that he built his rocket wrong unless you yourself are a rocket scientist you're not going to go to a uh well-known reputable successful uh diagnostician or or surgeon and tell them that you think that they diagnosed or they uh or perform the surgery incorrect way unless you yourself are an expert at the very least at the same level here we're not even asking people to be at the same level of the sages in order to criticize them here we're simply asking people to read what the sages said and understand what they said before they criticize before they conclude that it's it's false or it's not valid or it's corrupt Ed but that's the problem people don't read people watch videos people uh you know hear uh uh have conversations but generally speaking there people don't read so people like uh Mesa are part of those people that popularized it uh where uh they think that they could just read the first line of the paragraph the last line of the paragraph and thereby conclude what the talmud said they think that they could you know hear what somebody else said for a couple of minutes and thereby they already know everything and that's unfortunately a uh spiritual laziness that leads to heresy and uh it's becoming more and more uh common uh because people people don't want to study but if a person studies they uh they don't have uh they don't have such questions uh the only questions they have is uh how can I what else do I need to study in order to understand what the sage said not uh did what the sage say uh did he say something correct or not there's no question of whether it's correct the only question is is whether I understand what he's saying and uh and that's that's one of the com last thing I would say about it the one common denominator that you see among the uh the sages is that among the uh among the Heretics that go against the sages go against the oral T is that they don't have any respect for the they don't think of them any differently than themselves they think that this said it so what this big Rabbi said it so what this uh Sage said it so what I said also stuff so what's the difference between me and them like they compare themselves they think of themselves as apple and Apple so that in itself already shows that they're donkeys you know because the says you know the sages say about the sages that lived in the previous generation to them comparing themselves to them saying if those sages that Liv before us were Angels then we are men but if they are men then we are donkeys and these are the sages of the talmud that surely every one of those sages that's named the talmud was able to revive the dead that's what the says surely these people knew more than anyone in the world or all the entire world that we have today put together but yet they themselves are calling themselves donkeys in comparison to the sages that lived just 30 40 years before them if they are donkeys what are we amibas not even not even so that's that's the thing it's that the more a person learns about the words of the sages and even the lives of the sages the more they understand how different we really are but if a person just simply wants to conclude different things because they sound good they sound uh uh uh uh interesting they're mentally stimulating they're controversial they're going to get you views and likes perhaps even be an interesting conversation over coffee they're going to put some people to the test all types of stuff like this these are people that just simply waste their life I highly recommend running away from them and if a person is one of them I highly recommend to start learning and stop wasting time uh next question okay is asking related to assimilation have this question uh if the raban wouldn't allow inter marriage between Jewish girl and a Gentile boy is it allowed or not allowed for a Jewish woman to marry a non-jew I don't understand if it's okay or encouraged already asked during the last classes but maybe uh if you're asking if a Jew can marry a non-jew the answer is no according to the Torah it's forbidden for a Jew whether it's the Jew is a male or a female it's forbidden for a Jew to marry a non-jew according to the Torah not according to the rabbis according to the Torah now do Jews marry non-jews yes but that means that they're forsaking Aah Just Like there are people that murder and people that rape that does not mean that what they're doing is allowed they're breaking the law some people break the law of the land some people break the laws of the Torah and some people do both uh when a Jew marries a non-jew or even when a Jew is intimate with a non-jew they're forsaking the toah and they're going to get a very very serious punishment uh unless they do Chua but nonetheless this is forbidden according to all opinions there is no opinion in the Torah that allows a Jew to be uh to to marry a non-jew no permission whatsoever uh Charlie's asking when cooking do you do a when you taste things for flavor or being cooked enough or for being cooked enough H it's a very good question no there you don't do a blessing for them if if it's a very small amount you don't need to do a blessing for it uh uh there are some uh myself included that are a little bit more stringent uh and uh typically what I do is let's say for example if I'm cooking meat uh you know obviously you're not going to taste it unless it's it's ready uh so uh and I don't cook often anytime I only only time I cook is if I do a barbecue uh so if uh usually if I taste it it's because it's pretty much ready or close to being ready so I I'll do a a blessing and if I'm not sure then I'll do a blessing on something else that that will also cover this particular thing but technically if it's a small amount if you're just tasting it uh there's uh no need for for the blessing but you can be more stringent on something like this if you want uh there is actually WR up on it on Al uh that uh I remember seeing somewhere uh that talks about tasting food and so on you can look that up uh Ricardo is asking if ham was Mod's slave didn't his fortune belong to M yes yes you're 100% right that's actually what M kept telling uh Haman each time Haman would come pass by everybody everybody would bow to him and except mulai M would actually lift up his leg straight up and show show Haman the bottom of his foot why would he show him the bottom of his foot because the the bottom of his uh of his shoe was the contract between M and ham where Haman sold himself and M would uh would tell him that uh because that's how they engraved it into the shoe they were in the fields they were in a in war so there wasn't like paper and stuff and and printing presses so they engraved it into the bottom of the shoe uh this contract between ham and and M so M would constantly remind ham that he's really a slave and all of his wealth really belongs to modai and eventually uh modai got it eventually after after Hashem removed Haman from the world uh the the wealth went and the position went to M good question one second Jack is asking uh mov uh question Heretics like Mesa say that rabbis today do not have power anymore how should we respond to Heretics when they say things like this I think the response that I just made uh in regards to the other person's uh question really responded to this also because Mesa is does not only disrespect the rabbis of today but by saying such thing as rabbis don't have power today he he disrespects the rabbis of the talmud he says that the amim which are the rabbis of the tud have uh no power and you don't it's up to you if you want to live or not uh so he doesn't respect anybody he doesn't respect any of the sages he doesn't respect uh anyone but himself uh he's just so uh full of garbage that he doesn't realize it's garbage because he's become part of it so so a person like that it's a uh there's really no arguing uh with such people because they're um they're just unlearned they're they're ignoramuses and they're Heretics and the Tam itself says that people that disrespect the rabbis whether it's the rabbis of the talmud or the leading rabbis of the generation are considered aim they're considered Heretics so that in itself is discussed in the talmud because it's not a new thing it's just the only thing that's new about it is that it's being done on video uh that's it but Heretics like Mesa unfortunately have always existed uh they're the they are the the that has always been there to cool people off to distort the Torah and change things according to their own understanding even though he is unlearned he's completely an uh nine out of 10 things that he says are 100% incorrect he pretends like he knows what the rambam says even though you'll if you actually fact check if you fact check what he said you'll see that he's wrong constantly about what he says in the name of the rambam and really what he says in general he's he's a complete ignoramus but because he has this this this false sense of confidence uh it sounds like he knows what he's doing and because his audience is even more clueless than he is uh then they listen to him but generally speaking no real uh would ever waste the time to speak to him more than five minutes because he's an idiot he doesn't know anything he doesn't know anything I mean it's it's it's literally like I have my four-year-old son knows more than he does and I'm not exaggerating at all like any I'm telling you my four-year-old son knows more more Torah than Asher Mesa could ever know it's it's that's that's how much of a difference there is and it's it's not it's not even a compliment to my son it's it's That's how little a know now my son is a genius so that's a different story but nonetheless it's not the reason it's not the reason it's Mesa any one of my I have other students I have students that also have five six seven eighty old kids and they know more than ashraa does but the problem is that people listen to his stupidity because they're Christians they're Idol worshippers he uh they don't know anything so his audience are mostly Christian people that interpret the Torah already through their own Heritage of of of falsity based on their opinions as I said before the so-called sages of Christianity 1500 years ago believed that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute the people of today which are closer to rock stars than they are to sages believed that she was a saint so obviously this is complete stupidity uh there's how did the sages of today no more than the sages of 1500 years ago if they were closer to the story obviously there's something wrong here so the point being is is that the way Christians read the uh the the so-called Bible and which is part of it is our written Torah is they look at a verse and they translate it interpret it according to their understanding literally that's not how we interpret the Tah there are certain hermen hermeneutical rules how to interpret the Torah what certain things mean it's definitely not according to your logic it has to do with specific rules of the Torah of how to interpret it so when Mesa decides that such and such means such and such his audience knows even less than him because he is interpreting things according to his likings but he throws some names of some sages or some name of some book which is really unknown to his audience so they automatically assume that what he's saying is right and this is just an unfortunate reality that the spiritually lazy are getting their guidance from somebody that's not only spiritually lazy but outright a evil heretic uh so it's it is what it is so the thing is though is that anyone that actually learns Torah seriously does not listen to an Ashera does not spend their time listening to Ash and if they do they find that he is wrong so many times you cannot rely on anything that he says which is part of the reason why most of the time when he talks he just talks about his opinion of stuff he talks about his opinion of stuff and not the uh what the Torah says or anything else and he that's also why he uh doesn't view uh favorably doesn't view Jews favorably he doesn't view anything favorably other than himself so it's uh very sad scar so as far as responding to Heretics like this uh honestly it's I wouldn't respond to people like this I mean you could send them this video you can send him some other videos but uh more or less there's nothing else to be said a person needs to learn tah before they could comment on toah uh next uh and I'm referring to the Heretics uh you know they they criticize it to without learning it so I mean it's like uh it's like talking to an insane person uh Leora is asking if I purchased and installed a door for a Sho do I get a reward for each congregate that enters using the the door knob do you get a merit for the door knob I'm sure you get some type of Merit but I wouldn't uh build a entire uh uh imaginary heaven in your head for that door knob if there is a merit for it I'm sure it's some type of you could just count Asaka but I wouldn't uh I would not uh bet uh the farm on it I wouldn't uh you know let's say uh there are greater things that a person could and should do uh with all due respect to the person that bought door knob it's not it's getting to Heaven is not that easy put it that way Shalom used to say in his lectures and every time they would hear it it shock me uh he say that there are uh people that work their whole lives to try to get themselves into heaven uh just like uh at the end of his life on his deathbed he was crying hysterically and the students asked him why why why are you crying for the you are the you are the psh you're the Hammer Of The Nation you're the you're sadik like if you're crying what about us and he says I'm going into a uh to to a place where I'm not sure whether they're going to decree that I'm going to heaven or or to Gom I don't know I'm I'm going into a place where it's not like a king of flesh and blood that I can bribe him it's not like a king of flesh and blood that says a decree that is uh temporary I'm going to a place where the king that decrees can decree things that will be for eternity that uh when he says something he says something it doesn't change um going to a place uh you know where the the king of kings and I don't know if I'm going to get decreed to go to uh the good part or the bad part and you don't want me to cry and be scared so this isak this is one of the greatest ages that ever lived if he's scared then uh then the people that are not scared today are deluded so I'm sure that raanan uh you know did a little bit more than than than buy a door knob uh or even buyer SHO or even by a uh but yet he was petrified and I think that's really one of the greatest differences between theim uh and the people that are not quite there is that the whether they was DAV or or it was any of the other in recent generation they're constantly scared of the Judgment constantly uhin shalom literally every every second sentence he would talk about the fire of Gom and he was one of the and you would think like why is he constantly scared of Gom and uh you know somebody would come to him and and tell him listen Rabbi I'm uh I got a really big house but I'm scared that this big house is so much enjoyment for us that it's going to take for my heaven and Steinman answered him he's like look at this you have here a Jew that's in his 90s scared every single day that he's going to go to Gom and yet you have this youngster over here in his 30s that is already certain that he has a place in heaven that he could be lessening that heaven that he has because he got a nice house like see the difference in perspective so a person needs to serve AEM with all of their heart with all of their uh money with all of their life that's what a person needs to do that's what it says in our if all of your heart all of your money and all of your life went into that door knob then that door knob will give you a share in the world to come but if that door knob is as it sounds literally it's just a door knob that you can buy for $10 then I honestly would not think of it as anything at all uh and and perhaps you'll get a marit for it perhaps not but I would not even consider it in your account or whoever bought the door knobs account uh I would look to do a lot more things because we're obligated to do a lot more things so again if it was all the money that you have if you put everything in your life into it and I don't know you made the best door knob you can possibly ever make then yes surely that door knob is worth a lot more than than anything else because that door knob is your life just like there's a story in thear of one particular person that put everything he had into getting the doors of the BET mikdash and uh he went to a different country to go get them built specific dimensions and and material and so on he put everything into it on the way back there was a storm and they had to uh uh you know get rid of weight so he told him we have to get rid of these doors he said absolutely not so he said at least one door they threw one door out off the ship and the ship was still on the verge of sinking like listen we have to throw the other door we have to get rid of the weight he's like no no you can't so we're throwing the door they threw the door he jumped after the door he jumped after the door he you said if I don't have these doors this is my this is my everything I put everything into this this mitvah putting the doors the bet mikash that's all I want and Hashem made a miracle that this door didn't sink and actually floated on this door miraculously all the way to Shore and miraculously the second door also showed up why because that was his whole life if somebody did that on a door door knob then perhaps you know this door knob is worth a lot but if it's as what it sounds from the sentence from the Simplicity of the sentence that you wrote by all respect uh you know I wouldn't consider it as anything at all as simply a nice person doing a nice thing the end and perhaps Hashem will reward you for it or not but I wouldn't count it in your in your in your bag of of uh of Good Deeds because there's a whole lot more work to do you can you can ignore everything that I'm saying if you'd like but there's just so much more that's uh we're obligated to do uh that uh it's hard for me to uh uh to tell you anything different uh Steve is asking um how can one explain what the is and what type of interaction with hem this is in more or less simple terms there is no way there is no simple terms of explaining the uh there is no simple way of explaining Hashem and there is no difficult way of explaining Hashem there is no way to explain hem to to uh to know him is to be him to understand him is to be him there are different aspects of Hashem that he he himself uh elaborates on uh there are different aspects of the uh the uh that uh you know that is explained but in all reality we do not have full comprehension of what this means because we don't have the capacity to understand something uh that is uh you know Divine uh and you know it's just not not possible for for a human mind to understand uh and those that do understand it that were you know that are you know to to the highest level speak in a language that is um might as well be uh from Mars to us you know you talk to like cabalists uh that speak in regards to uh different uh different aspects of God different names of God and so on a lot of people like to use those terms all the different worlds and the different aspects but in reality uh the people that mention them uh so freely don't really understand what they mean uh it's it's a uh uh I can explain I can tell you that the simplest fundamental lesson of cabala is impossible for the 99.9999% of the human population to understand and I'm talking about the first lesson of first lesson of just I don't take any of the names of Hashem and try to explain an aspect of it is impossible for 99.999% of the world to understand that Shure that's the reason it's part of the reason why cabala in reality is not taught publicly the stuff that's taught is you know the uh the different uh things that are really more or less gibberish for most people or it's words of the sages that people like to call cabala even though it's not really cabala um so the theem these all the highest of the high and uh there is no simple way of explaining it is asking uh the ram says that one is permitted to emit seed outside of marriage for medical purposes if a urologist tells you to masturbate uh due to a epid hypertensions would this theoretically be permitted according to the Tor uh first off where is the rambam say what you're saying um that's number one number two uh the case of uh seed in itself is a uh complicated one but nonetheless to just simply masturbate because a urologist tells you to do so is generally forbidden it's generally forbidden in the vast majority of the cases uh and in a case where there is a permission to have seed go outside of uh of of the female body it are it's very very uh uh uh exceptional cases very exceptional cases uh but it's not a case like what you're saying I deal with this type of stuff on a regular basis and it's not uh it's not like this no uh last but not least it's not needed anymore uh because you can get everything that you can get from seed you can get from blood uh so you don't need to use the seed anymore uh let's see they what should a Jewish woman do when a man uh gives her a compliment not in a flirt flirtatious way but a person who hands out compliments trying to be nice should she quickly say thank you uh to not do a but keep moving or not give an opportunity to open up a conversation or ignore it altogether and put her modesty first yes put her modesty first there's no reason for her to acknowledge it respond to it whatsoever uh it's not for how to ignore a compliment it's not is desecrating the toah him talking to a woman that's not his wife in itself is not a appropriate behavior so we don't have to comply with his inappropriate behavior because uh we're afraid that his inappropriate mind is going to uh think less of us he's already in the wrong wrong in the first place uh it's it's it's perfectly fine to say thank you uh to people that are doing something for you if you buy something from a uh I don't know a grocery store and they uh you know the teller gives you the groceries and you know uh you it's perfectly fine to say thank you whether it's a male or a female perfectly fine but somebody going out there and says oh wow you look good to say thank you would be encouraging him to continue or somebody says oh wow I I like your dress to say thank you it would be just simply opening up a door to uh to uh the uh so no you simply ignore him as if he doesn't exist and don't worry you will not be the only one that does it uh next question um where do righteous non-jews go when they leave this world what can we do here what can we do here if there's anything to help Elevate their soul uh the ramb says that we learned from the uh the that P that says that bam is uh the non-jewish prophet that has no share of the world to come so we learned from there that the righteous among the Nations have a share of the world to come they go to heaven so the righteous non-jews also go to heaven it's not the same level of Heaven as the righteous Jews uh for for obvious reasons the righteous uh Jews do a lot more to earn their Heaven than a righteous non-jew but the punishment for a wicked Jew is also more severe than a wicked non-jew nonetheless the there is a heaven for non-jews and there's also Gom for non-jews uh as far as elevating the uh soul of a non-jew uh you know a person can try to do mitv uh in their name givea in their name learn Torah in their name uh the same thing that you would do for a Jew uh you uh you could Elevate the N of a non-jew and in essence the same aspect the same way uh by uh doing MIT you know publicizing more T helping more more uh Jews become uh more observant the more Jews become observant the more person contributes to helping Jews become observant uh the more they're producing a better world and the more merits they're producing for themselves for anybody else that they're doing it for but always remember that it's a the the says based on the difficulty such as the reward meaning that uh perhaps this is also relevant to the previous question about the door knob uh the mishna says that if if a person has a diffic an easy time doing a Mitzvah then yes they'll get a reward for it but it'll be a reward that's appropriate for such a Mitzvah doesn't matter which Mitzvah it is if it's really easy for them to do it then they'll get a uh a reward that's in essence coincides with such a uh such a Mitzvah so for example if it's easy for a person to give $20 staka then they'll get a uh a certain level of of reward for it that's not so high why because it's not so difficult for them uh on the other hand if they give to $200 or $2,000 or $20 million whatever it is relevant to them and it's really hard for them to give that larger amount of money then the reward will be appropriate to that meaning the harder it is for a person to do something and they end up doing it the more the reward for it so when a person is thinking about serving hasem uh in itself a person needs to know that serving hem is not something that's supposed to be easy you're supposed to push yourself to the point of literally putting your life on the line just for the sake of serving hasem but that's because you still have a chance to be in this world now a person that has left this world and has left this world in a negative way meaning they were not righteous they did not observe Shabbat they were not uh I don't know they didn't eat kosher or they were Wicked non Jew whatever the case is that's a person that is in a horrible virtually helpless situation they are in gay they're in a horrible place they can't help themselves they're potentially in a place where there's eternity of suffering I mean they're in a miserable miserable situation so to understand this you have to know that if for yourself you have to push yourself to the point of of of of putting everything on the line just to save yourself while you're alive like you have to push yourself to to to to pray to the maximum to give to the maximum to do to the maximum and that's in essence to save your own yourself be and that's while you still have a chance so to go and help and needless to say to save somebody that is left this world and has a whole life full of wickedness behind them just imagine that you have to do at the very least no less than you do for yourself meaning if a person is is is a wants to show that hasem that that he has then at the very least 10% of every single penny that comes into their pocket they would use it to give for Torah 10% at minimum that's they are showing Hashem that I know you gave me 100% And this 10% that I'm giving back right away without questions asked is my uh uh my uh testimony that I believe that all of the 100% and more is from you and this is to publicize your toat 10% you're giving so now if a person is already giving that 10% is showing hasem that obviously they believe in the Tor they believe that everything is from hem and so on now if a person realizes that this is the basic minimum for themselves to show that they believe in hem to help themselves then they have to understand that at the very least they need to do as much for this other person for for now you can say oh yeah but that's really hard who can do that so don't do it the point is that people think that if they let's say do this one Mitzvah like many people like to do these yard sites and say oh Rabbi can you come speak on behalf of my grandfather and uh you know do a sh for him and I'll uh I'll sponsor okay I'll send money okay fine I've never really particular about these things even though it's on the website that there's a certain amount of money it's expected for people to sponsor lectures and so on sometimes people say I'll sponsor it and then whatever I just do it I mention the name cuz I care less I just I just do what I have to do if somebody wants it I do it and but what ends up happening is that this person that made a whole big deal about me doing a year in the name of some grandfather or some mother or somebody that's important to them they end up sending $300 you know now again thank you very much we appreciate the help but you have a problem in your hands first and foremost you didn't follow the instructions the instructions say it's a lot more than that second of all if you think that $300 is going to take your grandfather your cousin your brother out of Gom you are delusional it's not going to happen why because for yourself you have to give more for yourself you have to do more during an entire lifetime just to save yourself from all the difficult things that you have done and that's including doing living a righteous life so a person that is out of this world you have to do a like I said at the very least just as much so this is not to kill people's hope uh and and helping people that have died even though there is a from 800 years ago that says you can't really do anything uh there is an opinion out there by one of the it says you can't help people that have died already they they're they're they're uh uh they're uh you know lost causes and then went against him and said wait a minute but what about and they got him out of G and then the response was yeah that's and did it nobody is and or even the shoes under their feet so the point being is that it's say you have to compare apples to apples but either way most of the opinions are that you can help people that have passed away but it does not come for free it does not come for cheap and it doesn't come easy that is one thing that I don't think people discuss out there and I believe that the vast majority of people are deluding themselves to thinking that because they're doing some yard site once a year throwing some cookies for people to eat half the people eat without a blessing perhaps they invite some Rabbi and give them a few hundred or even a couple of thousand thinking that that's going to take their their their loved out of Gom I'm sorry to tell you this is a complete lie complete lie if it I put it this way I I'll put it to you guys this way if you can give me any any serious I'm not talking about some guy that just uh you know likes to give Torah videos a serious somebody that's well respected among the people and I'm not talking about among his friends respect this person as he is you can give me a write up you can give me somebody writing that you can take somebody out of Gom by simply donating a few hundred or even a few ,000 I'll publicize it to everywhere in every Shield but it's not possible it's not possible why because it's it's it's it's hard it's expensive it's difficult so the reason why I'm saying it the reason why nobody else says it is because they think uh which is that people are not going to do anything then might as well they do something they do nothing that's not true I don't believe in that I believe it's better to tell people the truth and let them decide if you thought until now that you can save your lost lost long lost grandmother okay uh with $5,000 of donations a year and right now you just found out that it's going to cost you an arm and a leg and maybe another foot it's not going to be $5,000 now you can say the H with it I'm not doing anything fine or you can say you know what I have the money I have $500,000 in my my uh in my account or I uh I work I make 50 $100,000 a year I could donate more I could do more guess what you're this is this is a chance to win this is a chance to win for that person why because on one aspect if a person doesn't know the truth it's almost impossible for them to fulfill that truth why because they think they could do something good for $5,000 they could think they could do something good for $500 I even have people that literally sent $300 because they think that going to save their grandmother or their mother from hell with their $300 like it's a delusional mind now again if the person is really really poor like poor as dirt and they just gave you their life savings and their life savings is $300 then yeah that definitely has a lot more value than someone that's a multi-millionaire giving you $3 million but that's generally not the case the general cases people have a lot more and they have to understand that it is not cheap cheap to fix problems once a person dies it's not cheap it's not easy and quite frankly it's it's it's a it's at the very least as expensive as what it costs for a person to help themsel in their own life so what I would recommend is for people to get a hold of themselves understand what they're dealing with and if you're already going to do something do it right do it right push yourself don't delude yourself to believe that oh you know what I did something good I uh made a s and 10 people came and they ate the cookies and my grandmother is happy now all right you a person wants to believe in such a fairy tale by all means you could live in a fairy tale please put me in that fairy tale also that I'm studying with those those those angels that that grandmother is with I want to study with them I mean it's a fairy tale it's not true it's very hard and and anyone that wants a simple uh proof of some of these things go buy yourself a book he has a book called uh it's in in English they translated part of that book and it's called and he tells you about the conversations that he has with different people that died and go read that book see what those people did see who they are most likely you know a few people that are making those very same sins most likely some of the people that you're donating money for their sake made those same sins and you can see what they're dealing with you can see what they're dealing with and that way you could say okay it's not your own ruen uh trying to milk people for money I care less of people donate people donate don't donate I recommend people want to donate they can donate it's makes no difference to me I know's goingon to send the money one way or the other but I want to tell people the truth because I honestly don't think that this particular issue is covered anywhere in in in lectures today people are deluding themselves like sometimes you'll even have people you'll have like a live video and you'll see a bunch of people write their name this they decide this year is for the of my grandmother this year is for the of my neighbor this year and they give you a list of 500 names of they decide that this year is for their Merit and it they actually think this works these are deluded people quite frankly they may need to be instituted but nonetheless it's not it's not it's not it doesn't work that way it doesn't work that way to learn Tor to learn Tor to learn Tor you have to be willing to die for it that's what says to learn you have to be willing to die for it so does anybody think that it's lesser of a payment to get heaven for eternity does anybody think it's less of a payment to get Heaven For Eternity you anyone think for a second it's a cheaper payment than to learn to at the very least it's the same payment if you have to be willing to put your life on the line which means all of your money you would put on the line to save your life if somebody said listen you have $100 million in the bank I know I saw I checked your account and I know you have $100 million in the bank either give me all $100 million I'm not leaving you a penny or I'm going to shoot you the face which person in the world will say no nobody everybody would give all of that money and say thank you for taking it giving me my life back why cuz your your life is worth all of your money all of your time all of your resources all of the good that you have you put on the line for the sake of for the sake of tah that's in essence what putting your life on the line is for for the tah so if you are supposed to put all of the money you have all the time you have all the pleasure that you have all the resource you have every good that you have just for the sake of acquiring real Torah I don't mean the scroll I mean Torah knowledge you're supposed to do everything possible to acquire that Torah does anyone really honestly believe that they could acquire Heaven For Eternity for any less at the very least it's the same price at the very least so if you need to pay that much for yourself and you're still here to do good deeds which will give even more of a reason to increase your stock price and give you a reason to go to heaven then needless to say you have to be aware that it's not going to be cheap to say the least to get somebody else to go to heaven if they're already in Gom because they lived a life full of Gom and that's that's one of the things that I think people need to know it's actually also in this week's par like everything is always in the par where it says so the of the p in chapter 49 verse 25 is simple that he will bless you with the blessings of Heaven from above blessings of the deep crouching below but but if you read the PUK differently same exact words but different separation it says that God will bless you the blessings of Heaven above meaning rather than the blessings of Gom because that's what means means Gom so you rather get the blessings of Heaven than the blessings of Gom simple so a person needs to know they could get a blessing from a real and they can invest into Torah and they can put everything into it and uh it's expensive and it's time consuming and it's hard and it's tiring and it's testing yes but in the end they'll get a blessing of Heaven they'll get a blessing of Heaven for themselves for others and so on or they could continue living a diluted life thinking that they're getting all of their friends and family and their dogs and cats too into heaven for a couple of hundred a year they believe that and in essence in the end they're just going to get a blessing of Gom what's a blessing of Gom when they arrive at the of shm's going to show them yeah you remember that dog that you invested like $2,000 for yeah he's in Gom remember that grandmother you put like $100 for yeah she's in Gom remember that cousin of yours that he's in uh that you put like what did you do donuts donuts and oh Bas Bas Donuts yeah also he's in Gom look at all the chambers of Gom yeah but what about the money they're going to laugh at you in sh I said are you kidding me you think you can take somebody out of G for $500 you think you take somebody out of G for500 how about this guys I'm going to finish the point with this if there was even 1% of me that believed or if somebody could show me a source that shows this that says you can get anybody out of Gom for $1,000 for $500 for $2,000 anybody can CH for for minimal amount of money how about this I will advocate for people to stop keeping me why you could sin your whole life and buy yourself out for $5,000 who's better than you take the money whatever a person has put it in some account nobody even knows about that's part of your will and say listen when I die open this safe okay have it inflation ready so it's $2,000 figure by the time 10 20 years from now it probably be worth like $20 million uh you'll need so figure whatever you need anyway uh the uh put the money aside as soon as a person dies yeah donate this to that's it I'm going to heaven yeah but what about the you married to a Goya what about you violating Shabbat no listen the rabbi told me $2,000 I get my cousin out of G home so surely if I get my cousin out of G for $2,000 I get myself out of G for $2,000 how about this I was even generous with God $5,000 if it was really possible to do it that simply I would tell people don't bother don't bother keep anything why would you bother if you get yourself out of gome for a few thousand if any of the sages believed that you can sin your whole life and just get out of it for a few hundred or a few thousand don't you think they would just tell people listen guys if you don't want to do mitv how about this I'll give you a trick K put some money aside you're a millionaire you're a billionaire you are have a 9 to-5 job instead of an IRA that invest into the stock market have an IRA inv investing into the uh fund of Gom get yourself at a Gom fund we'll start a website get yourself at a Gom fund.com or.org make it not profit and that way everybody can put a dollar a month and by the time they die everybody has enough money to get out of G home with their $500 guys please be serious think of things normally think of things logically and understand that the world is full of lies world is full of liars and it's up to us as individuals to delve into it and delve into it in order to find what the truth is and when we see the truth we fight for it like our life is on the line why because it is we cannot cons cannot continue to be deluded to think that life is supposed to be easy and getting to Heaven is easy there's no such thing I'm not saying you're supposed to suffer intentionally but to believe that it's that easy to just get somebody to go to heaven is is is something that I've heard one too many times and it's literally it's it's a it's it's it's such an evil lie that people tell people that really it's a when you really think about it it removes people's free choice CU they think that it's this is real so I I appreciate that question you asked because it uh it woke up an issue that I've had on my mind for years it's never really brought up in a lecture until today thank you Ian is asking perhaps maybe one or two more questions it's kind of late already uh Ian is asking if I'm busy and my dog starts to need to go out do I have to interrupt what I'm doing and to avoid torturing the animal yes yes unless you want him to relieve himself in your house and you don't mind but if you're going to hit him or punish him for relieving himself in your house uh then uh then you have to stop yourself and go uh and go take him out uh Tilly is asking I try to make matches however sometimes the man and the woman is not religious am I allowed to introduce such a couple no not allowed to not allowed to make matches between non-religious people because surely they're going to sin and that entire sin is going to be on you and that can get you into a very very long sentence in G and I promise you you don't want it for any amount of money like all of those matchmakers that make secular people and I'm talking about specifically Jews make secular Jews go out together and they make money out of it or even if they do it for free they don't understand that they are getting a literally every single match they succeed in is a holocaust that they're buy an individual Holocaust they're buying for themselves because of all of the sins that will happen as a result of this it's a very very serious crime absolutely not don't do don't don't do the yourself any any uh any favors by making such matches if they're not religious no match only make matches with a uh with religious people among each other if there's one religious person and that religious person uh is looking for somebody and the only somebody you have is a non-religious person don't tell them you have a match because it's not a match a non-religious Jew is not a valid match to anybody uh it's that that's a reality and I know it sounds harsh and it sounds mean and all that good stuff it's a reality it's better that they stay alone than they uh sin with somebody else uh I know some of them are not ready to change do I set them I answer that okay um thoughts on if women should have pictures of themselves in their profile or not I have a whole lecture about that you can look that up uh should women have their pictures on the internet I think it's called and the answer is no and the explanation is in that lecture uh zaldo is asking uh will noids be able to fight alongside am is against during go and why is barely spoken of also with M okay you're asking too many questions that are not related okay let me answer your your question is in this week's Pas this is how much loves us cuz he makes us look smart I'm really not that knowledgeable I promise you guys it's all a your your question is in this week's par in the blessing of Y you asked about about the noahides goog and so on it's actually in this week's when tells yud in chapter 49 verse number eight says your brothers shall acknowledge your hand will be at your enemies NE nape your father's Sons will prostrate themselves to you a lion cub is yud from prey my son you elevated yourself so here is when yudah gets a blessing from uh from and then it continues he says so then it says he crouches lies down like a lion and like an awesome lion Who Dares Rouse him the scepter shall not this is the part that you want the answer the scepter shall not depart from Yuda nor a scholar from from among his descendants until Shilo shall arrive and his will will be an assemblage of Nations so here is when yobu discloses to us as the main source that msia will come and mssiah has to come from the tribe of Judah which means from uh David he has to come from the tribe of Judah no other tribe could it be it can not be from a convert it cannot be from a non-jew it cannot be from a woman it has to be a son of Yoda and it also says in a this is a until Shilo Shilo is a mashia until Shilo shall arrive and his will be an assemblage of Nations what does it mean his will be an assemblage of Nations if you look at the um at the commentary on this you'll see that theim say that the the righteous noahides will fight along side uh the uh the uh the righteous Jews right side messiah in order to uh earn themselves a place in order to earn themselves a place in the uh in but they have to be righteous already they have to be righteous already but yes they uh that's actually uh your question is in this week's um let me see Andrea is asking something in a different language let's see if I get a translation okay here we go can't these ministers come with Portuguese subtitles would it be possible to send the ministration by subtitled in Portuguese uh okay so we actually have uh you know I'm a rabbi not a minister Minister usually is connected with Christianity uh but either way uh the uh we actually have a channel uh Rabbi yon ruven in Port Portuguese where you have Portuguese subtitles and you could watch many of our lectures that our wonderful team have uh put subtitles on in Portuguese we also have in Spanish we have in French in German so just look up my uh my name on the uh on YouTube and you'll see uh that we have multiple channels in uh in different languages and one of them is in Portuguese please log on subscribe you could also send a uh WhatsApp message to to uh uh to um to me or to uh to our website and we can add you to a Portuguese uh WhatsApp group that we have uh Michaels asked can know our thoughts can it cause a person to have specific thoughts uh yes I mean technically that's one of the jobs of the is to entice you to have certain thoughts remember the yet is not just by himself there's the and there's also his wife and they are going to put different thoughts in your head that are uh obviously way for you to uh go against theem thoughts of idolatry are coming uh for for people that are not careful or people that used to be idolatry idolatrous uh or people that watch a lot of uh videos about Christianity like the anti- missionary the the thoughts of idolatry do pop up sometimes at the worst times when you're praying and you have to understand that thoughts of idolatry you have to remove them immediately because this is the only crime that Hashem punishes for even if uh even if a uh person is just thinking it not doing it uh so typically that happens because somebody did something in order to uh in essence open the door for the for the or his wife to to come uh asem says to K means that if you leave a opening that's where the uh is going to come so if a person does something to leave the door opening for the is going to bust the whole building down and come in so if a person doesn't watch their eyes then the thoughts of immorality have full permission to enter their mind if person does not watch their mouth then the thoughts of of of n of of of of uh forbidden speech is a uh is is a becomes a standard in their uh in their life if they listen to inappropriate music inappropriate language uh movies uh you know all types of uh music with lyrics of of all types of cursing and and swear words uh or they themselves are uh uh you know bothered by it then it's very common that yet will have full permission to give them all the reasons in the world to speak like uh like that also so yes if if a person gives the or his wife uh a uh a u an opening then yes will come and uh unfortunately run the house so it's very very important the person to take that into account okay I believe we answered all of the uh all the questions uh thank you again for learning to with me for anybody that speaks Hebrew later on tonight uh have a little bit more energy I want to do a sh in Hebrew uh so we'll we'll post it later on or you'll see it online tomorrow uh thanks again everybody for learning with me hopefully you got some out of this and wake up call I know I got some out of this and out of the questions you guys asked we'll see each other again next week amen amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] for fori for [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music]
