I got a very interesting question for
makka makka is about Chuba she became
Torah observant and she's asking a very
interesting question how can she live
her life happy serve Hashem with
happiness when she knows that her family
and loved ones are not so observant and
when they reach the world to come they
might be punished for their sins and
when Messiah comes they might not be
with her so how can she continue serving
a sham and living her life happy knowing
that so the first thing is that we are
commanded and obligated by the Torah to
serve Hashem with happiness we must
serve ash embassy mohabbat all about
that's what the Torah commands us to do
the second thing is when a person
reaches the level that he has pain over
the fact that his family and loved ones
are not Torah observant first of all I
can congratulate Makka because that's a
very high level most people they care
about themselves and they look only in
their own surroundings to reach to a
level when you look at other people and
it hurts you that those people are not
Torah observant and that they're missing
out basically that's a very high level
so just from your question Makka and
this can refer to all the people who are
becoming becoming Torah observant this
is the level one needs to strive to to
get to a point that they look at their
fellow jew forget about a family member
right now a fellow Jew and then it will
hurt them that that person is not Torah
observant and the answer what you need
to do is very simple you are obligated
to do whatever you can in your power to
make the Torah observant to teach them
to guide them to show them to give them
example even though they're the most
most far away from religion there's
always way to do it if they're very anti
religion all you need to do is just show
them how beautiful religion is how fun
it is how amazing it is how it's
fulfilling it is if there are a little
bit open to hear you're obligated to
teach them to tell them to show
them to basically open the door to them
even if it takes you a whole lifetime so
by the fact that you feel sorrow sadness
to see your loved ones in that situation
that in itself should be the source of
power to let you pursue getting them
close to God because you're lucky enough
that the light of Hashem shined in you
that you suddenly saw the light what
about how it's called and you became
wise enough to come closer to her shame
and become Torah observant so you're
lucky enough to have that in your hands
so you have the obligation to go and
teach everybody around you and so much
mo so so much so much more so with your
family members you can show them it's
called it they'll be more perceptive
they'll be more open to what you have to
say so your answer is very very simple
you need to make this your life mission
to make your family closer Persian by
teaching them whatever you can even if
they're not able or capable to receive
too much just a little bit give them a
good example come to the house show them
how you how you how you pray how you
learn your job is basically to introduce
to them how great Hashem is have
beautiful tutorials and how amazing is
to be Torah observant and in your ways
and in many different sophisticated ways
you can basically penetrate because you
know them more than anyone you can
penetrate under the lines and show them
and basically what's called liquor level
Tama Toa to get them closer to the Torah
and everything has to be done you know
with love and understanding and patience
because the Torah teaches us when we
look at somebody who's not Torah
observant we have to look at them as a
prisoner that is locked in captivity and
they don't really see what's going out
there very limited to what they can see
and as you somebody standing out you can
see both worlds you can see the secular
world and you can see the Torah
observing world so you have the
the advantage used know both worlds and
you know how to cautiously proceed and
basically teach them and get them closer
to a shame and you know on holidays come
and show give them you know a present
invite them to a shabbos table or a
holiday anything that you can do to
basically show them and exposed to them
how beautiful the Torres and how great
it is to be observant and by you doing
that you are securing that they will
have some place in the world to come and
if you do it the right way with patients
you are guaranteed by a shame that your
work will not be for nothing it might
take a year might take two years might
take three years might take a whole
lifetime but the fact that you did your
effort that would be more than enough
and if you're doing your efforts in in
the more sincere way you'll see that
slowly slowly the most toughest people
will come closer to religion even if it
takes him a whole lifetime even if they
become a little bit observant so they
might not be fully observant but even if
they become a little bit observant you
did your part and what needs to make you
feel happy is if you're doing the will
of michele you might not see a loved one
becoming totally religious but please
watch but needs to give you happiness
that you did your best and that you see
that they did something and with the
merit of you are becoming religious and
and elevating yourself to a higher level
they're automatically will be merited to
that so ha special only follow them
should leave this role and should go
higher in higher worlds your merits will
help them go through it so worst case
i'll get a little bit of punished for
that and basil d'shannon will come soon
don't worry just because the fact that
you are close to a shame they
automatically will be closer to you so
the main thing i can tell you and
instruct you is that you are lucky
enough to move to the other side so now
you have the ability and the power and
the tools to go and teach them and
that's what should make you have because
you're basically fulfilling what's
called haha sonali on
the will the Divine Will of a shed for
you to going a shim gave you this would
give you the merit made you close to him
so you will be the Sri of you would be
the emissary you will be the vessel that
it goes closer to your family and your
loved ones and the rest of the Jews and
make them come closer to Russia so this
surprise to anyone doesn't have to be
your family members it doesn't have to
be just Monica can be anyone a person
needs to get to the level that he looks
at another Jew whether it's his family
member or whether it's a person he never
met in his life and that person needs to
feel pain in his heart to see that
person or observant and when you reach
that level then you have the ability to
reach out and to save that person
because you have if you see no
connection to that person and you have
no pain for the fact that that person is
far away from a sham is very hard to
reach out but when you know that one of
your loved ones is sitting in a house
burning in fire you run into the fire to
save them so when you reach to a level
that you see any Jew and it hurts you
that they're not Torah observant it's
like you seeing them in a house burning
in fire and you have the ability to run
into the house full of fire just to save
them so you can do that by running and
screaming in them and and and and and
forcing them to become observant that
will it work the only way that will work
by showing them how amazing Torah
observant life is how amazing the tories
how amazing a shame is and how great
your life is after you made a
transformation and slowly slowly when
you trickle mitzvos into their life
you'll see that slowly slowly they'll
start opening you cannot convince anyone
you cannot come to a person and force
him to become religious to come close to
shame the only thing you can do is give
an example and not only give an example
is it a nice kind of a tricky way make
them do mitzvahs if it's a if it's a if
it's a man you know ask them to put you
in if it's a woman you can instructor
why you should they should like candles
you know maybe make them make a bra
sabra her next to them they land
to remain drag them into a shoe once
there's so many different ways one can
reach another person and only you know
how to reach your family and that's why
I share chose you to be the vessel to be
the emissary the shreya that affects
your entire family because you know what
touches them and what's their weak
points and they have respected you and
they love you so it would be much easier
for you to come a little bit closer to
them so the only market or anyone
watches the video you have the
obligation a to serve a shim with
happiness be to feel server to elevate
yourself to a level that you feel sorrow
than another Jew is far away from
religions because you know the truth and
when you reach that level you can reach
out to that person and and and and try
to get them closer to religion in any in
any way teach him something tell them
fancy and give him a smile make them
understand that Torah life is beautiful
when I was not religious when I hope
that religious people they look like
lunatics to me they look like weird but
if a Torah observant person if a
religious person would approach me at
that time with a smile or talk to me in
the level of my eyes Alberta hey he's a
human being so okay so maybe he looks a
little bit weird but he's he's like me
because people are not religious when
they look at religious people they think
they're weird and different and behave
different and they believe weird things
and they believe in spiritual things it
makes a person distant but when you
connect to a person on their level
they're like hey wait a minute it's
another it's a person like me maybe
there's a little bit different they
behave a little bit different but it's
the same level so you have a great great
great opportunity to be the one who
actually gets all your loved ones and
all the rest of the fellow Jews around
you closer to a shin and that in itself
should make you be happy and continue
your life in a happy way because you
actually fulfilling the greatest
greatest
a task the will to shame for you to go
make do other Jews close to the Torah so
I hope I answered your questions if you
have any other questions please please
feel free to contact me and I'll try to
answer whatever I can thank you
