For They Are My Servants Whom I Brought Out Of Bondage with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom Alim everybody Welcome Home to Torah a warm welcome welcome home to Torah at the m h we encourage you to learn Hebrew but main thing is that in order to follow the Hebrew or learn Hebrew down below there are links where you can find the original Hebrew sheets not colored copy but just black and white and that's fine that's like number one number two we deal with the fundamentals really fundamental issues in Judaism to set a foundation for ourselves and uh of course if we adopt true authentic Judaism right from the Torah itself right like as if right from Mount Sinai we will light up we'll ignite the world we'll light up the world right first we light up ourselves and there are other links to previous classes down below as well in the YouTube description box um okay so we have people online interesting configuration there okay so so here we go we are in chapter 21:2 of mishpatim okay of Exodus and the clear is going to deal with a particular verse in fact just a part of the verse but what we end up doing is going through a lot of other sources but it's all coming to explain one particular idea and if you want to be on on our emailing list to to receive the English s sheets send me an email shoot me an email as they say so we are dealing with a concept called an evid i and that you'll find like I mentioned in Exodus 21:2 um there are two ways in which a Jew can end up being an evid i a a I'm going to call an indentured servant okay it's not a slave um an indentured servant and that is if God forbid he was involved in a theft okay he stole something and that item is no longer around to return and he doesn't have the money to replace it to pay off the original owner the damage of the Lost object then what will happen is he will end up it's called a winwin win triple win situation where the victim will receive the money how because he'll end up selling himself through the bason so the Bon is creating Justice and the perpetrator will end up number one paying off his debt um but he has to become an indentured servant for a certain amount of time okay we all know that it's a matter of up to six years meaning has nothing to do with shmita has done with the sabatical but six years and he'll be released on the seventh year in the beginning the end of the sixth year and what else is important is that if a jubilee falls out during during that six-year period he will also go free now there's another type of and I'll call it IND indentured servant and that is if the person is just extremely impoverished now this cannot be done to a convert neither way a convert cannot be involved in becoming a slave whiy right because one of the ideas is the family which usually they don't have will redeem the person or at the end they return to their family so a convert unless they're married and have children doesn't have family right they come in on their own and they have um undertaken a great transformation in their life but unfortunately most of the time they don't have family okay until later on um okay so the idea is that there are two types of indentured servants that's all we're dealing with is the EV I okay there's a concept called evid Kanani we're not dealing with that happens to be that I'm just going to quote from the OU website so the Jewish male Hebrew servant this is Source One may choose foolishly foolishly to remain in the status of servitude beyond the six years so what we're dealing with is after the person has served and would like to stay on okay obviously they're going to be Freed at the YoVille the Jubilee but the six years are going to be served and in that case at the end of the six years they want to stay on a hole is punctured in the cartilage of his ear the S the sages give two explanations and this is going to be important take notes why the ear was chosen for this dubious honor right well I read somewhere else and I'll just tell you that before we read the rest of the OU website's explanation and what we all are familiar with in and that is as opposed to a non-jewish slave who will not go free at the end of 6 years to to be able to tell the difference you know that this person is a Jewish slave because you may think well he certainly worked for like 10 years 12 years 15 years he must not be Jewish but no when you have this sign you are a Jew who made a decision foolish decision incorrect decision but you made it nevertheless to stay on because of what as we will see I love my master or I love my wife and my children that I had while I was in servitude in the case of a thief who was sold into slavery the message will be the ear that heard on Sinai The Ten Commandments and we're going to relate this whole idea of in eani somehow to the Ten Commandments shortly so it was the ear that heard the Ten Commandments you shall not steal low and yet he this person violated the Commandments and therefore deserves his ear to be pierced alternatively another message right the individual who sold himself so the message is clear right the ear that heard on CI what did it hear it heard in V Leviticus 25:55 for the children of Israel are servants to me a Lee they're my servants they are my Serv who I've taken out from the land of Egypt and these very servants who are the Servants of God made a foolish decision to be a servant of human being and not be true to themselves and serve Hashem they are my servants and not Servants of servants and yet its owner acquired a human Master for himself that person deserves that his ear shall be pierced now just for your own notes note that there are three different places that this kind of a Jewish slave indentured servant is mentioned in the Kish and we're going to be doing a lot of comparing so in Exodus 21: 1-6 that's in our par M you have Deuteronomy chapter 15: 12-8 and in Parra chapter 25: 39 to 55 now I want to mention here that there are going to be different descriptions of this individual in our par he's called an evid i in Deuteronomy he's called so EV was the indentured servant he's a Hebrew slave in Deuteronomy is your brother who is a servant and in VRA it's the notice the word evid is used in the fir I'm sorry EV I I EV is used in the first your brother who's a Hebrew is used in the second but not evid evid is not used in the second and then and it will be when your brother is impoverished neither evid nor I is used okay so there obviously are many lessons to be learned out of the different sections we're not going to do a major uh comparison but we're going to find some um uh very important lessons to be learned and by the way for those who are not familiar we're using the clear as the basis for this discussion so the CLE on the CLE car on the Hebrew sheet right as we know when you purchase when you acquire ah let me give you one more little tidbit of information it's very important so in parro which was last week's para we saw the Ten Commandments now we're in Misha and you shall place these judgments before them who's them the Jewish people or let's say the judges who are going to be judging there's different ideas to look at but the idea is that those judgment we just talked about the Ten Commandments lay them out in an organized fashion okay so many explain that the Ten Commandments are laid out in a very organized fashion in Mish and that is something the cleart will focus in on by the way the ramban speaks about it if you want to know where I mentioned it in Source number five the idea is that we'll see an actual order of the Ten Commandments in the in mishpatim we're not going to deal with them all we'll deal with the first because the the mishpatim is dealing immediately with an EV who's going to go free in the sixth year keep that in mind and see how that's going to parallel the first commandment everyone know what the first commandment is first commandment is to know believe there is a God who took you out of Egypt and redeemed you okay very important and we were redeemed with great wealth interesting keep in mind that when we release the slave in the or the servant in the sixth year the end of the sixth year we give him gifts he goes out with psim with some type of compensation okay so keep that in mind because it would be very difficult I think if you just begin how does acquiring a slave and making sure you release him in the sixth year have to do with the first commandment of believing in there's there's a god well first of all what God do we believe in do we believe in the god that created the human the the the the universe the heavens and the Earth of course we do but that's a belief but we have to know God the first commandment is to know God and God says the god I am the one you should know is the god that took you out of Egypt how many of us right I could raise my hand heard from our parents and grandparents and great parents that we were slaves in Egypt okay right we all raising our hands right except for Converse of course who they're coming from the outside but it doesn't matter they're joining the people who are testifying we were slaves and we were redeemed and that is a little bit of an insight into the first Mitzvah of you shall um uh believe in me or you should know who I am relating to this Redemption we'll see shortly as well okay so with that background that the the rambam ramban nakes mentions he mentions another point about about the idea give me one second that the Ten Commandments were just said the tenth commandment L don't covet so in Misha we're going to be dealing a lot with property rights knowing your place in society what belongs to you and what doesn't belong to you and your responsibilities of as an owner of something so basically in the Mitzvah the last Mitzvah the 10th commandment of the Ten Commandments is like leading into hey if you are going to fulfill this Mitzvah properly of not Desiring something that doesn't belong to you then you should at least know and understand what property rights entails and who what things belong to whom and why okay little bit of background now we're going to begin so the clear says the reason he's claiming the very reason that all these deing in other words in Mish all these laws at least in our par is beginning with when you acquire slave you have to make sure in the sixth year to let him free the end of the sixth year you've sent him free because because the Ten Commandments begin and we know it's chapter 20 verse 2 you'll find that on the sore sheet and number four right who is God he's telling us who he is I'm the one who took you out of the land of Egypt the house of bondage okay that is who our God is now if he took us out of slavery it's like fundamental probably never thought of this he took us that's who he is he took and we actually have a commandment to imitate God to follow in his ways to adopt his character if that's what he did certainly I'm going to say kak how much more so right this Mitzvah of redeem or letting your slave go and giving him a gift at the end is very similar to what God did to us Amar so what is it telling you here just like you were a slave just like you were enslaved and freedom was granted to you you were redeemed from the house of slavery the house of bondage just like that happened to you and many of our Mitzvah right to remind us that we were slaves and that God redeemed Us in fact what is our whole belief system about Messiah and salvation none other than this very Point okay that God is our savior he is Our Redeemer he took us out of Egypt that's who he is and therefore we only have to look forward to the Redemption that is what we're looking forward to because that is embedded not just into the universe but into our very Souls that we're looking full we have hope we full of Hope the world will become a better place so this last piece is very important therefore you should Proclaim Liberty right I'm from Philadelphia There's a bell in Philadelphia called the Liberty Bell I'm sure everyone heard of it right who didn't hear of the Liberty belt it's got a crack in it it broke the first time they tried to use it but and it's a quote from Leviticus on on right in in English but there's a quote quote nevertheless you should Proclaim Liberty to your slaves now this is drum I would say drum roll please but I don't want anybody rocking the boat with the camera how was this person acquired by you because he was sold to you because he was a thief because of his thievery thievery implies a sin right it's a sin by the way when in the Ten Commandments when it says do not steal it's not referring to what we're talking about now it's actually in the Ten Commandments it is do not I'm sorry to say Do not um kidnap do not kidnap and then Ransom off a human being there are other places in the Torah that discuss H do not steal okay actually have it here and look in number two for example this is on chapter 20 of of Leviticus verse 13 it says over there right we're we're here in the Ten Commandments that's chapter 20 of um of um of of shos but look in Leviticus chapter 20 verse 13 you should not steal ah I'm sorry that's it's not Leviticus this is our para uh par um you can scratch off Leviticus that was last week's paraa that was yro chapter 20 of Exodus verse 13 Rashi tells us this refers to kidnapping but in in Leviticus chapter 9 19: 11 Lo no Vu you shall not steal you can see the whole context of that paragraph in the verse it's referring to stealing money so there's a big difference it doesn't need to repeat uh the same exact in fact um Rashi mentions how do we know that it says you shouldn't kidnapped that's what it means you shouldn't steal in the Ten Commandments because the two Commandments before are capital crimes don't murder and don't commit adultery and then don't kidnap don't um so um it's I'm sorry don't steal stealing what are you do when you steal so you you have to give back you have to repent but kidnapping is a capital crime okay so now what did the clear say he actually says remember this person was sold to you because of his thievery this is a sad story about the Jewish people okay the Jewish people when I say the Jewish people I'm talking about our forefathers the the the 12 Brothers they conspired some of them conspired to sell ysep off which he ended up going down to MIM Paving the way for actually partly a Redemption for us you can't deny that he admitted right he was no longer upset with them and he said it's all God's doing know that know that to the bottom of your core that it was all God's doing and I forgive you I don't hold any resentment nevertheless a sin was committed it was like kidnapping right it was equivalent to kidnapping we're going to call it thievery so there was a sin committed this is going to be a very important part of what we're going to discuss tonight this exact phrase that ysep was sold by theim by the the brothers that was what is nit gal galel is like a wheel it's like rolling so I'm going to translate it as events that unfolded okay that's basically what happened there were a lot of events that folded it eventually we went down to Egypt but it all started because of this because of the hatred of Brothers right towards ysep for example and that's what it caused you know the events that unfolded it caused us to go down to Egypt we're going to have a problem this I'm going to give you the problem now and we're going to talk about it a little bit later already in chapter 15 of Brit God promised there was a promise called Brit it's some kind of introductory to the birth of the nation but we have to go through a going down into a n into a country that wasn't ours and being Afflicted and um uh made made into Servants of servitude of some sort and that happened 100 200 years before ysep goes down to Egypt so if that was already a decree okay how are we now making a blame or a hooking a reason uh that the reason we went down to Egypt was because of the sale uh with the mean uh actions taken out by the brothers this crime doesn't exactly make sense we have to make sense of it nevertheless even though the four committed this crime and therefore you also still holding on to a certain extent of this crime nevertheless you left your bondage and just keep this in mind for anybody who's experienced any kind of bondage we all experience I'm going to call it um you know pains and that we need to be redeemed from whether it's sickness whether it's emotional whether it's physical all kinds of abuse or maybe it's self-inflicted right the drugs and alcohol and you know I'm going to use other terminology like character traits whether it's you know gambling overeating sex anonymous all these different issues that can come up in one's life so you could be redeemed it's a bondage it's like what they call a monkey on your back one can find Salvation in this world and um be redeemed from their bondage keep that in mind because that's really what God wants us to do to break free from our anger or whatever issues that we're experiencing that we feel stuck that we can't break through there is there is hope okay so the last thing he says in this paragraph is so to you just like you were redeemed so too you should incl in in include your own slaves in sending them to Freedom we are to imitate God this is just one small example now very interestingly beside the clear speaks about this somewhere else the word I which with an i in what is the word I why are we called IIM so I'll tell you the good side and the bad side to start with Abraham woke up he was really woke okay I'm serious and he found the truth and he wanted to share it with other people so he crossed over the word I he crossed over from one side let's just say the world of Illusion and sheer falsehoods right into the world ER Kanan into the into the place into the land where things are are truth and meaningful okay so the word is trans really you know trans Jordan is called in Hebrew a when we transgress a transgression it's called O A if I move Apartments I'm o I moved trans you know transport trans um so that's a good that's a good definition however if you don't look at the letters but you hear the word a there what's a blind person it's with an Al and a right it's not the i in bet but it there's a negative so the truth is we even during the P we have to admit that we were Idol worshippers there's a gai there's something I'm going to use the word shameful about our past and the truth is we all experience it like I mentioned in life we're all going through a transformation hope Y in our own life that well you think we were born Saints right no we I mean we were born clean in terms of our soul but in terms of going through what Hashem knows here's a big secret a lot of people don't know this we when we turned 12 or 13 so now we're like adults we're judged by a court like an adult right there's no such thing oh I'm going through puberty you give me a break right cuz man as we do in takon we say to be judg by man is not a good thing but I'd rather be judged by God God has such Mercy do you know that God does not judge the human being until he's 20 in a harsh or negative did you know that there's a tremendous amount of leniency he created us he knows what I'm going to use the word puberty he knows what that transformation is from childhood to adulthood is and right I we go through a lot of changes whether it's not just physical but that's just an example of what's really going on inside so it goes like this this is not going to discuss it now but trust me Hashem is merciful and there is no judgment by God on us until we reach the age of 20 however the based in here on this planet and this sphere that we're living in right the judges have to judge from what they see but what goes on the inside hashem's love and mercy for the the the creatures that he created is is totally overwhelming so hopefully that will bring a lot of relief to people but U let's move on so says like this from the fact that it uses the lon the language the expression of and doesn't use the word or as I mentioned in the very beginning we have several other paragraphs like this throughout the Torah that uses or even the Jew it doesn't do say Jew it says he and he explains this also par it's also explained in par there's a verse in Deuteronomy chapter 15:2 which I believe you'll find on um it's got to be here somewhere yeah number 12 if your brother still called a Hebrew man or Hebrew woman is sold to you it's true that's what it says all the seed of that's why we're called Hebrews because we we crossed over from that negative world to the positive World from the world of sheer to the world of truth from the place of Darkness to place of light and there right in we say that before a long time ago originally our forefathers were even in Egypt forget about just ter even in Egypt we were worshiping Idols by the way that's what a convert we say they entered into the protection of the wings of the divine presence so now we're called Nik is when we converted we converted now we're called Israel but before we write a worshippers well when the Torah is describing some hint the idea that we sold ysep I told you I has something to do with being a sinner okay past tense perhaps but nevertheless we sold our brother Y and we sh Abraham for we're grabbing on to the ways of the forefathers of Abraham they're still like a little bit hanging on so therefore the the language the expression of which means Hebrew is and it's hard to say it but it is a transgressor of transgressions that's what the word Hebrew is somehow based on there but wait there's some good news don't worry even though we sinned and we transgress the transgression me nevertheless what does it say we are still Brothers nevertheless it is your brother who you're going to help okay so we have an obligation right to Don to judge every Jew favorably of course there are people that are Beyond The Realm they lost the name of Israel they're sinners and we have no obligation in fact people that we know to be sadik we have an absolute obligation to always think that they must do have done chuva or maybe I'm reading it wrong it's not exactly the way I saw it I have to judge favorably what about people you don't know so it's it's the proper way to think positively about Jews who are average people right if they're like in the news every day and they're criminals you don't have to you don't have to fact you shouldn't judge favorably but there's not too many of them so that's why it says right we mentioned in the verse that it mentions about your um brother who's a Hebrew but what about the indentured slave Who Sold himself he didn't steal that's not why he is impoverished he's impoverished for whatever reason Hashem saw that he should be impoverished and he saw sold himself he did not sin there's no sin there that's why the word I is not mentioned at all in Leviticus 2539 when your brother has become so impoverished there is no word the word is not mentioned at all now there are some that explain when whenever the clear says maybe you find this by others you have to release whatever you had in your mind think a clean slate we saw the negative side of EV he says like this there are some that explain why why is the word your indentured Jewish servant he is already and I'm going to use the word in quotes in servitude before you acquired him who is he serving he's serving Hashem he is an evem he's a Jew God's document comes first God himself said in Leviticus 2542 where is that on the store sheet it's number 16 they are my servants who I brought out of the land of Egypt they shall not be sold as a slave is sold there's a lot ofas even when a Jew is sold to the Basin they're taken to a quiet Corner they're not in the what do they call the block you know they're not in the city Square it's a private auction done in a uh a modest way they're not sold the way uh slaves are normally sold okay so the clear is trying to say something K and then wait till you hear this we have a problem here because in chapter 25 verse 5 let's find that on the sore sheet so number 20 if this servant says I love my master my wife and my children I don't want to go free I want to work continuously over the six years I want to go forever until the Jubilee or until I'm redeemed by my family or whatever so it says in Hebrew I don't want to go free but it there's usually when you see a double language I would translate it as like add the word very or much whatever the verb is well he said twice I mean what does it mean amarar he surely says right nobody's translate if the slave says but but why is the double language of Amar being used so according to the C if he says it he's claiming the very fact that what is this evid doing he's doubling up his foolishness the word e is like a sin but we only we only sin out of foolishness right so he's doubling up his foolishness so the fact is that he doubled up his words implies that he doubled up his foolishness the first foolish thing the first sin he did was he stole so that's one and then he wants to continue to be a slave of a slave to be uh in in enslaved to a human being right so that is not worthy of him living up to the name of being a Hebrew ere so that is considered when we're using the word e in a a positive form in a good form okay so he loses that name he's not worthy of being a Hebrew what I'd like to do at this point is just sum up this last paragraph because I really want to go into some additional sources so the clear says you know why it says six years you know because some say when you rent or you make a contract for a a worker you usually make a three-year contract and he didn't make this up he's taking it it from Isaiah 16:14 it says just like a s you do it for 3 years the truth is that another verse says it's only one year so you're going to see that not everyone agrees but based on this threeyear concept I'm not sure if you're all aware of the fact that if someone steals and is caught and is in denial they have to pay double so in other words if someone stole and their conscience got the best of them and they come forward and says I stole and there's no investigation and there's no denial he just pays back what he stole but if he's caught and he is in denial pays double so the fact that a normal s according to Isaiah the normal wage or contract you make with somebody with a day laborer is a three-year contract so therefore it's double that's why six years the other opinion is no it's one year cuz there's another verse and also in Isaiah chapter 21 verse 16 one year is enough to make a contract and that would be exactly one year so there's a difference of opinion um there's another idea that the reason is because when one steals they're stealing from three people or let's say there's three acts of stealing going on one is the actual stealing from the owner of the property the second is what we call Gena sadas which is a real thing it means stealing someone's mind it doesn't mean brainwashing H I'll give you an example you go into a store you want to get out of the rain or the air you want to go into the air conditioning and you start asking the balab the the store owner lots of questions about different products you've absolutely no intention of buying you're wasting his time that's all you're doing you're just having fun and you have no intention of buying that's called gas sadas you didn't steal anything except he thinks he has other customers he thinks he's going to make a sale and so that's called stealing that's called stealing okay so you're doing two things you call trickery so when you steal number one you hurt the person second thing is you tricked him and the third thing is you tried to trick Hashem obviously Hashem is never tricked but that's what it means so connected parallel to these three types of stealing therefore there's three years and then as we said because of a canas a um a penalty is doubled so that's why it would be six years uh the last I think it's very important especially for noes it says that what is six represent that you go free in the seventh this is an example of all sevens all sevs were ch chosen or most choicest for Mana uh rest and calmness as a remembrance that God created the world from nothing in six days and rested on the seventh come just like the Torah explains that every end at the end of every week you have Shabbat at the end of every s seven years you have what we call shita the sabatical year and the Jubilee year which is seven cycles of seven years so every seven somehow represents some kind of AR rest that every seven is somehow either chosen for or choices for rest and the cleart ends this by saying according to all the different reasons why six years he likes that reason the best so actually if you turn in to number nine in the source sheet it's the tud B Milla 16b there's a great question and you know what we're at the entrance right this week we're and just in a few weeks we're going to experience bem the beginning of our Redemption right our real Redemption like playing it out getting ready for pesak who knows what's going to happen the next day or two or next few weeks but we're getting ready for purum Okay so here is in in in theor Milla there is this idea that when ysep right he set up bamin and when they came back and he gave them gifts to all of them he gave each man changes of clothing but to bamin he gave 300 pieces of silver and five changes of clothing okay not so one second each one of the brothers got one set of clothing but to B ysep gave five different changes of clothing so the gor asked one second is it possible that that very thing that that righteous man who is yoseph had suffered what did he suffer his father favored him he gave him something more valuable something more unique right the right the the the the robe of Many Colors it was worth more it was more beautiful and that created jealousy and then right we're talking about they sold ysep they sold ysep and then they go down to Egypt so this very thing ysep seems to according to the narrative be seems to be doing the wrong thing shouldn't he have known better let's just see the words is it possible that the very thing from which the righteous man ysep had suffered as his father's show of favoritism toward him arouse the emnity of his brothers that he himself should stumble by showing favoritism to bamin does that make any sense I would like to read the Hebrew because to find it here it is it's just so beautiful I'm going to read it you don't have it not only so that we read already so that was the question comes in the name of he said in the name of RA just because of the little bit of weight of more wool right more threads was additional material additional material used in in the in in the in yosef's garment that Yakov added when he gave ysep His Garment so he gave it like more than the other brothers and what did we know that caused enity and that caused the sale and that was what we said in Hebrew in the beginning of this year somehow another that's what caused the unfolding of events didn't we say there was a Brit ban ofarim there was an earlier gazer a a decree from God that this has to happen why are we blaming Yakov giving more then I mean we're talking about here ysep didn't learn the lesson that there's going to be enity so the truth is there's a big difference between ysep and Yakov Yakov gave to a particular son who right he had a different mother and a different father uh meaning from the other the other brothers shared the same father but not all the same mothers so there's a there is there was um some enemity and we know that but when it came to ysep so ysep was giving to Benyamin they shared the same mother and father so between brothers who share the same mother and father that should not arouse enity right like with Yakov would if he gave something more to ysep which is exactly what happened but still back to the original question why should we say that this act of giving from Yakov to Yosef more yarn right a better garment that's what caused or the sail caused the doesn't make any sense there was a gazer from the very beginning from Abraham ainu from God to yob so there are some really good comments I definitely want to express here before we do that the rest of itar rein it's actually a hint there's a Ramos R ysep ysep was hinting regarding bamin in other words ysep was not causing more enity in fact what he was really doing was showing them I don't really hold any grudges and not only that binyamin is going to save your toes because who's Mori morai comes from bamin and so five pairs of clothing what do we know and the PK is is being mentioned here right he hinted to them that there's going to be a time in the future there's going to be a son who's going to come from B and who's that none other than and he's going to go in front of the king wearing five different types of clothing it says in Esther 8 verse 15 you have five different so the idea is it's really interesting that at first glance we start off by this idea oh didn't Joseph learn the lesson don't favor one over another and yet he favored B it's not a problem there shouldn't be a tremendous amount of enity because because the other brothers share a different mother and father so they would understand there's this great love between Blood Brothers but more than that he was trying to tell them about Brotherly Love okay not only do we not have anything against you uh the other brothers but your brother beymen who's going to have a you know kid after kid after kid he's going to save you in in the story of of Esther that's going to happen in the future so I think it's just very interesting we think about how events can cause right even if there's a gazer it didn't have to end that way in other words we would had to go down to Egypt but there was something that we who said we had to go to Egypt didn't mention Egypt who says they had to treat us the way they treated us it says they're going to uh there's going to be Eno there's going to be some Affliction but you know that the Egyptians Afflicted us much more there right there's so many that we could have lived in in Israel and still been gim so the word g implies a Wanderer without being like really truly settled that could have been an option but because of the sale of ysep which began you know with yako favoring a little bit much and causing Amity um that it caused just say worse uh events than could have been decreed to start with and I think that we should all think about this too I want you to know any negative prophecy that's written in the Torah I don't know if go happened already but any negative like traumatic uh devastating prophecy never has to happen you calling me a heretic no how do you know a true Prophet The Prophet comes to the St hedr to the court and he has to perform Miracles or he predictions that are going to come true so if he says something positive is going to happen and it doesn't positive the Mets are going to win the Mets Met's going to lose I whatever is considered positive and doesn't happen he's a false prophet but what if he said the sky is going to fall it's going to be a tsunami there's going to be an earthquake there's going to be a famine there's going to be something negative and it doesn't happen why is he not called a false prophet because his main role is to do cause you to do chuva to M the rim to caused the masses to straighten out their lives and and do chuva and so how do you know it could have been just one person you look at society and say ah I don't see any change in society and he's you know predicting all these negative things they didn't happen first of all any negative prophecy didn't happen does not make him a false prophet again it could have been just one person or could have been the whole people just moved up one notch you know in Improvement of their lives you don't know it's how do you how do they give the certification only based on positive prophecies if they all come true he gets his certificate if he says negative prophecies none of them come true he's he might still get a certificate it has to do with only the positive prophecies anyway coming back to this point batem look we're we're we're in the end time you know we're getting near the end goal we have no idea it could be two weeks two years 20 years 200 100 years right by the year 6000 and we bring in chabas early and batem with what's happening in the world we should all strengthen ourselves in mitzah and learn more Torah and most importantly and I went to see the yanuka yesterday and beautiful beautiful Torah um All About H and love and trying to make other people comfortable and happy you know H I did mention already about the Noah so I have a friend who converted and she was in noide for a while and I as she said why why'd you convert she says yeah you know being a Ben no is Noah it's just chill I'm not I I want to be a servant I want to run around and serve God like there's no end so I always did that for a while I was chilled right the number seven is about Manuka Noah it's the root anyway um to her that was her choice but I think that um even Ben Noah have a lot of work to do uh to help us right to support the Jewish people in their mission and um with that I just want to mention we're doing we're going to be doing a fundraiser soon for porum we we give out lots and lots of Saka and charity so that's really what it's all about if you want to help people who in The Straits financially help them get back on their feet we will have you can always donate even before we Put The Campaign together but uh porm is about octus you know we all come together and we have the sud we M and we're giving and we're like people that you don't even like you know people you're not even sure you are on your you know you erase them from your memory of your phone you know and you want to give something you want to reconnect and of course there's mat there is Charity to give to the poor
