If you take this entire region as far as you could you could you could box it in. Everything is red. Red would represent and this the map I looked at could make it green. Could make it red green and black. Islam. The whole map is Islam. And there's this tiny dot that literally you got to zoom in to even see which is this blue c blue dot. That's Israel. And they got the whole world believing that we're colonists and we're aparttheite state and and we stole everybody's land. It's a tiny dot that you don't see until you zoom in 50 times surrounded by a worlds of of Islam states. So what's so what's so righteous about an Islamic Islamic country, an Islamic state, and what's so evil about a Jewish state? Where do you think this comes from? Because it seems like there's almost like this funhouse effect that some people have when they look at Judaism. It's like everything that they see when they look at us, it's like warped. You mean why does the world view the what we would call the basic reality in such an absurd way, such a like insane way? It's it's switched. Call us an apartheid state when many Muslim countries they're actually apartheid states. when the funny thing is within Israel itself there is a parttheid but it's in the West Bank you know it's because they want their own country they say well we tried to give them a version of their own country because we gave them their space but that's not a part so but where does where does this where does this disconnect within some people because it seems like almost like an illness so I think there's a few things behind it if if we want to get like more like educational I would say like this people in general favor themselves. Okay? So, and that's that's that's just that you can't help that. I favor myself and if a person is going to identify with his family, his family will he'll favor his family over strangers and I will favor my country over the country that's across the street from me that has their rockets aimed at me. Of course, that's that's a given. So since we favor ourselves, we always look at the stranger, the foreigner, more critically, more distrusting. And so the since the Jews are the chosen people and we have singled ourselves out because God created it that way. So we're always the other guy. We're never he we're never one of them. Just like in a sense that when we talk about individual peoples, so one of us is the Jew Jews are one of us. We we have a with with charity, we give charity to our fellow Jews before we give charity to others, which is normal. But so so since we're we're us and they're them. And in the in the global historical for 6,000 years, there's the us, which is the Jews, and then them, that's every other country. So the world then looks at us as who who do they think they are because we're not one of them. But they would fa if they would identify us as one of them, then they would favor us more. So part of I think where this whole idea of of of we're criticized and they're and we're dealing with a lot of criticism and they're overly critical of us and they point out everything we do wrong is because that's what we do to others just like I do that to the guy that I don't like so they do it to the people that they don't like the country that they don't like. That's one of the the areas I guess where this gets started. And then there are other things involved. I think another thing is uh if we want to get a little bit more mystical cabbalistic I think there's a a deeper issue is really the fact that we claim that we're different we claim that we're we're unique a unique nation chosen by God and we really if you study the the books that we have and the the truth that we that we explain it's really even exists on a soul level so what we're essentially saying is we're absolutely different from everybody else in the world. Do you believe that we're different from everybody else in the world? Yes, I believe we're different. I believe we have a unique relationship with with God each other and with Hashem, but different doesn't necessarily mean better. I just was writing a comment about that today because there's a video that that's out that discussing this. Different doesn't mean better if we create a a relative better meaning perspective is important. We were singled out and that we can't deny. saying that we're not Jews and we're not unique in in our role central to spreading godly wisdom in the world would be lying to ourselves and and and and that wouldn't be fair to anybody, not to ourselves and not to the world. Lying is not going to get us anywhere. Saying we're better than everybody else. So that's relative. Because I say I was chosen for a divine mission that I believe God gave me. Does that mean I'm saying I'm better than you? I mean, in the end of the day, we're all just here doing what Hashem wants. So it doesn't necessarily mean I'm better than you. It means I have what I have and I have to be proud of it. And of course, rel relatively speaking, you have what God created you for. Because if God's omnipotent and God created all of us and he created all of us with forethought, then whoever you are, whatever you are, God created you with that direct connection to him, the creator. And so really, you got to answer to him in the end. It's not about who's better, me or you. It's about am I doing what God created me to do? And are you doing what God created you to do? We we have to learn how to tolerate each other and not get upset with what I don't have or what I think someone else has that I want. And then we would outgrow this all about I'm better, you're better. That choseness doesn't equal better. You're right. Now, does that mean I would trade my choseness for someone else's chosen? Absolutely not. I mean, but I could see somebody who like who who would come up to a a Jew or member of Ben Israel and be like, "What do you mean you're chosen? Why weren't wh why why were you chosen? Why weren't we chosen?" They were in fact chosen first. They they were chosen to serve God through what we call the seven commands of Ben Noah of of of Noah. And we were chosen from that group. We also come our roots are the same roots that they have from Noah. But we were chosen to be a specific uh part with a new specific mission that that Abraham really merited. And we inherit it through his his excellence in in his devotion to Hashem. He was a beloved to Hashem and he loved Hashem and he brought Hashem to the world. And in in response to that, Hashem said, "I'm choosing you and your descendants to receive my Torah and and be that light onto the onto the nations." It's his light, not ours in the end of the day. So, the fact that he gave it to us to spread to the world just means it's for everybody. We just happen to be the first ones that are receiving it, but it's really to receive and share and and everyone could complain. Moses got it before me. So, should I be upset at Moses and think he thinks he's better than me? There's no end to this. It's normal to happen, but but we have to outro. We have to get over that. That's what that's what Msiah means. Messiah really means all of us getting over these these issues because what the prophets tell us that the goal is is world peace. Not just peace for the Muslims, not just peace for the Jews, but world peace, which means all of us finding our place in Hashem's world. And if our place is in the middle, which is that blue tiny dot that might get blown up a little bit when Hashem decides how much is ours, that means us being proud of that and accepting that and and being that, not being be buying into their their their narrative and saying, "Oh, how dare us have this blue dot on the map." No, that's our that's ours from Hashem. Saying it and being honest with ourselves and saying to the world, that's ours. It says it in the Bible. You cannot erase that. You want to say that that God replaced us for you. So we don't we're not buying into that story and then anyway if they want to claim that we're they they're replacing us. So then they're just have this new chosen claim. I have my my own theory on this like people right Christians and the Muslims like to say that we're not the chosen people anymore because we kind of we didn't do our duty and now the Christians are the chosen people or Muslims are the chosen people. If all of a sudden he was taking his covenant away from us, wouldn't it be appropriate if he told us? Well, he would because that God would do things in the best possible way. But the problem is he wouldn't because he wouldn't ever replace us. Because that's in fact what it says in the Bible that I will not replace you ever for another people. I love you forever. My love for you is unconditional. And no matter how rotten you become, that's an external issue. that's that's a result of environment and and and your the challenges that he's himself giving us. But he a child a father never gets rid of a child and so he says I'll never get rid of you. So the the whole claim that we're being replaced has no basis. It's all just based on emotion and belief and outright lies especially by the Muslims. It's outright lies that that's all it is. But if they say but but they go off of the Bible also. Yeah. So if it says this, if it says this stuff, how is it possible then that they're able to make these claims and people believe it? Okay. So unfortunately, you would assume that people do their due diligence. In reality, that's not so because let's let's just let's just quickly I did put a lot of thought and there actually are videos on there out there on these topics. Christians worship our brother, turned him into a god, believe that he was born out of some immaculate conception and all that's beautiful and perfect. And then but not not all Christians. Some just believe he's the Messiah. Some believe just in general in general there's they believe that he's the trinity. So he's like a god incarnate. Okay. He's our brother. He was a Jew. He was born a Jew. He died a Jew. And he goes where Jews go to when they got to fix their mistakes. and and we ultimately he's he's a Jew and he's you can't erase him from being part of the Jewish people but look at the Christians or and whatever denomination Catholic I'm not getting into the details they worship him turn him into a god some of them maybe more most of them and then they hated his brothers and sisters for millennia and murdered them and abused them and raped them and them so what make so don't expect them to make sense their whole life and their practice doesn't make any sense they worship our brother and then they hate us and kill us and treat us like worse than animals So they they don't know they they now know where to base on. Now what about the Islam? Islam also it it claims that they're basing their religion on the true prophets of Judaism because otherwise it's a non-starter. They have to borrow something to get started. Then they claim that we are of course evil by nature. We come from the monkeys and we we lie by nature. We steal by nature. So of course we corrupted our own Bible. That's their claim, which is in the time of I've heard this. Yeah. In the time that Islam already, it's like 2,000 years into historically the the game. So, you have a 2,000-y old Bible that we've corrupted because what and what do we do? We we replace the name of Isaac. I'm sorry. We replace the name of of of Ishmael of Isma with Isaac. That that's their one of their claims. And you know, I only found this out as a 38-year-old man on on in in an Uber on the way to the Toronto International Airport to do my aliyah trip to Israel. So, I'm 38 years old with my wife and two kids driving to do aliyah. We're moving to Israel. We're becoming Israeli. Don't tell everybody. Anyways, and uh and I got my brother driving me or my cousin, you know, Muhammad, and he's we're talking, which I I was always very friendly with with people with Muslims in general. I had many Muslim friends growing up. And so we're talking and he tells me Anna, we're brothers, you know, I Abraham, my father Abraham is and of course Abraham, he took uh Ismael on the mountain to sacrifice. And then it dawned on me. Of course, there'll never be peace. They're stealing our story. They're stealing a, you know, famous case of identity theft, you know, like you you they want to be they want to be us. So, how are we going to have peace? Yeah, they'll have peace when we don't exist. That's peace through destruction. Peace through annihilation, not peace. Peace. So, that's that's what unfortunately that's what they're about. Even though there's good, I don't want to be misconstrued. There's good in the Muslim people because people have good in them. But their religion is flawed because it's based on of course true prophecies from the Jewish people, but it's it's it's also based on human human creation and human ideas and they favor themselves and they lie in their favor and they convince everybody of these lies. And so they've convinced the world that we corrupted our own Bible. Think about it. How how absurd is that? Well, I I I I want to be careful, at least for myself, of saying that they're lying. I mean, we know from our perspective, right, that Yeetszak was the one who was brought to to uh to be sacrificed for Malam. We we and we know this from a Msara that was passed down from generation to generation. Misora, you mean the Bible? Not the Bible. I'm sorry. C give me the the difference between Msara and where where did I go wrong there? It's written in the actual Bible that they have in their in their Quran and the Christians have in their uh New Testament whatever you want to call it. So it's it's written black and white. Nobody can deny that the Christians can't don't and they they would just the the Muslims the Arab Muslims in the beginning were were had the audacity to to then throw out that claim of of that we corrupted our own our own scriptures. Right. But but e even though we we know that they're lying, maybe they don't because they're through generation through generation, they've been told the same thing. So they actually believe this is true. They actually believe it's truth. Especially if they don't learn, right, if the Quran is is the main Muslim text and they don't actually get to I I'm just making some sort of assumption here. They don't actually get their hands on the Torah and they only believe the Quran, but they know that all the prophets from the Ben Benny Israel, I think they call us, which is another topic I want to get to. Um, they don't believe they believe that what they're talking about is truth. Okay, so here's the thing. You can't you can't excuse people for not knowing the his history. I mean, this is a history that's accepted by the world for millennia. So, you you can't come and rewrite history millennia after the fact and then say, "Well, of course," or, "Well, Islam doesn't lie, so it has to be true." You people have to do their own research and people have to answer for themselves. The every human being, every individual cannot just excuse himself when he gets to heaven and say, "I was just following the leader." You know, in the end of the day, you're going to be asked also, "Well, what were you doing?" Because if you were following Yeah. But we trust our leaders. We trust our leaders, right? Like I the people that I trust most in this world are my parents and they with whatever wisdom they have or lack, they will put you into a school. So I'm trusting that my parents are doing the best for me and putting me into the hands of people who also have, please God, the best for me. And these are the people that I'm going to listen to and I'm going to believe them for the for for the most part, especially if I'm not somebody who is um who is super thirsty for curiosity outside of his own bubble. And I maybe it comes to the question of um when does ignorance stop being an excuse? You know, that is exactly what we're getting at. And the truth is, and this is an important thing to bring bring out, is that if I would be in their shoes, what would I do? Would I overcome the obstacles that they seem to be facing? And vice versa. Um, and the answer is going to be often not. And that's why we're we're we have an instruction from the sages not to judge someone until you reach his place. Meaning, you have to judge him from his perspective. But there's a limit to that. You can't excuse murder and massacre because we we can only we can't judge you unless we come to your your place. We have to be practical and open-minded at the same time. Which means this, if there's a group of people out there like ISIS doing what they're doing. So, we have to protect ourselves and and get rid of that evil. Uh do we have to judge them for who that are they brainwashed? Are they not brainwashed? Maybe a big part of the members of ISIS were brainwashed like being in a cult and and we're not saying that they are fully responsible and conscious of what they're doing, but as soon as they start behaving in a certain way that where their beliefs and their their what they've been brainwashed to believe affects others, so that's more important is is how it's affecting others and what you got to do about that. So if Islam h takes advantage of of naive, ignorant people and raises them on beliefs that are false. So yeah, they might be innocent victims, but Islam itself and the jihad that's blowing themselves up all around the world and and destroying the world. You have to deal with that reality. Okay, we could excuse them on some level and say they have some kind of temporary insanity because they've been misled. But we still have to protect ourselves and do what needs to be done to put the world to set the world straight. We cannot allow the world to to go on this destructive course and everyone live a life of lies and just because oh everyone's beliefs are valid or everyone's opinion is valid. Everyone has an opinion but it doesn't make it valid. Everyone has beliefs but it doesn't make it valid. So truth has to stand at at the end of it all. It's truth and true purpose that we have to really we're all in search for. So the so from the Jewish pers from from your perspective and from the Jewish perspective is that we hold the MS is that Torah is MS. It's truth is the word of Hashem and that is an objective reality that just is. Yes. But to to it needs more explanation because again people from a different perspective need need help. What does it mean that we were meant to be a light onto the nations? If why don't they have their own light? If they had their own light then we don't need to be their light. So the Bible itself, this is the Tanakh that everybody has in their starts with their choice of religion and and there are parts that mention that we are meant to be a light onto the nation. So what does that mean? And if we could get to what that really means, then we could we could all benefit from that. Meaning we could benefit from being able to be that and the people around us can benefit from what that is if it's something godly. Uh the lab thinks it best in one of his his courses. Uh he says, "Look, when when we're being chased by people that want to kill us with once upon a time knives, once upon a time sticks, and then now guns and now missiles and then one day nuclear bombs. So we have no responsibility to be light onto the nations because we have to protect ourselves and survive. But in a peaceful world where people reach a point where they put down the weapons and they're ready to coexist peacefully exist uni unity with within diversity then yes we can be be begin to be a light onto the nations and that's a time we live in for the most part there's always going to be some issues there are some radical things happening but but but for the most part we live in a much more docile world the Christians certainly have put down their aggressive violent tactics that once existed I was going to say the Christians seem to want the base of English to be built more so than a lot of Jews do, you know. Yes. That again there's there's positive in people. I you have to believe in the overall good of people. Our belief is not we're the only good people. God forbid that's not our belief and that's not true. There are good people everywhere. Um and the job is for good people to come together for goodness. Unfortunately, people can can can become selfish and become full of hate because we're human and that's a human reaction. When someone has more than me or has better than me, I can start to become upset and jealous and feel like how come I don't have and and even start to hate Hashem, God forbid. And that leads to a lot of discourse and and ultimately violence and wars. What creates all the wars that we've been experiencing for thousands of years? Something's causing that. You can't call that good. That's not the goodness of people. there is goodness and there's also the opposite and uh so we have to distinguish we we can't just you know we'll lie to ourselves and say everyone is good and everything is good that's not true there is good in this world and we have to harness it we have to strengthen it and that's that's that's what we have to be doing if we're supposed to be a light unto the nations and we believe that we do have MS why don't we preach out to the rest of the world not not to bring them to to to Judaism but just to give a a a taste of of the MS. First of all, I think the first way to be a light onto anyone or anything including yourself is to lead by example. We we would kind of skip the first part of life and the first part of the mark we want to make in this world because we think too global. If you got the wrong lens and you're thinking too too far away, then you're missing what's in front of you. The first step to being a light onto anything is to Live by example. Fix yourself. Live by standards that you believe are correct to the as much as you're able to and then look look what to do further. It's not it's not fix the world and then I'll eventually get to fixing me. No, it's fix yourself and and your your immediate surroundings. What kind of effect are you having in your immediate surroundings? You want to send a message to the world. Okay, you got time for that. What are you telling yourself first of all when you start your day? What are you telling your students if you have students? What are you how are you interacting with your co-workers? That's how Yoseph Joseph became the most successful man that ever lived by affecting his immediate surroundings with this this energy, this goodness, this blessing, this success in bringing out the goodness in him and in everyone around him and unifying everyone to he he just was a walking success, a miracle of success because he became a conduit for it. So in the same way that he went into a prison and fixed the prison, he went to the to the Sar Mashkin's place and he fixed not Sarashkin the um Potifar. He went to Potifar's place and he became in he put him in charge and then the everywhere he went he he was put in charge of wherever he went. Okay, so it's a nice story. He was Mr. Success. But how did he do it? If you were going to interview Ysephic, if you were going to actually go down there and make a documentary of the Ysefic story, how would it look? So, it would look like a person that you'd have to film second by second. I mean, there'd be scenes. If if we make it the Hollywood blockbuster, we'd have to film scenes. We'd have to capture the essence of what Yoseph was. And what the essence of what he was was positivity, respect, respect that he's a visitor in God's world and respect that he has to respect the other visitors. And through goodness, and through being connected to who he was and to, of course, Hashem and Hashem's world, he was able to unify. wasn't I it's something that's a little bit beyond us in this day and age to really fully understand. But that's some of what I understand and what I tried to meditate on is that he became a conduit to look for where something was missing. Look where there was a need. Look how he could help and he brought so many things together in in in Mitz. He's an amazing story to really get into in much more detail, but I'm not doing any justice. using him as a as like a prime example of start with your immediate proximity. And he did that and every place he went to from from himself looking outward, he fixed. I feel like sometimes everybody has like some sort of Messiah complex. Like they want to fix the world, but it has to be my way, you know, like we're going to fix the we're everything's going to be green because if everything's recyclable, all every every reusable energy, all of it will save the world. I feel like everybody wants to save the world, but they want to do it their way. That that's not so that's not that's not so bad again. But you got to be practical. And fixing the world begins with what's in your reach to fix God put you in a place. And if you want to ignore the place you're in and think that that's how you're going to fix the world, that's how you do the opposite because you you skip the person that really needs you. There's a person in front of you that needs help. You want to look past him because you want to fix everybody. Well, start with the one person you could fix. That's why the RAM says, "Help one person, save one person, you've saved the entire world.
