Is Golus Stopping Us From Growing In Yiddishkeit? - Rabbi Moshe Scheinerman Shlita

like to welcome everyone to tonight's sh from Shamita on is gull stopping us from growing in one of the board members of Mr. Mrs. Ellie Goldbal for sponsoring tonight's show for sponsoring tonight's sponsoring call 7188518651 or email is.com. It's my cover to call of Shinman for tonight's Russia. >> Thank you. [sighs] >> [cough] [clears throat] >> The POS tells us the tum yen explains translates A yid is to live in this world alone. Alone means to the exclusion of everybody who is not a yid. Everybody and anybody who lives a life not. And he goes on and he says as follows means that we should not be that's what it means alone. I'm separate. I am not going to become influenced by the mode of behavior or of living of those who are outside the portals of Yiddish says and he says for one to be depends upon ex on a corresponding level how much of a lavadi he is, how much of an atmoy he is, how independent and how separate and how cloistered he is from the gosh belt to the extent and on a corresponding level that he is not part of the goes belt, not being influenced by the goshelt. He is a person who as again I quote the lotion Yanku taught us this lesson way back when when Yanke says in made sure that we live in Ghan away from the goim away from the influence of the mitim. We should not learn from their modes of behavior ways of living. that was the way we would be able to continue existing without any any problems. However, the P tells us that the entire Egypt the country or the of Egypt was full with Yidden. Yidden left their parameters and went to another place. They went to places where live. And because of that, not only that, it says that caused Not only are we doing a disservice to ourselves, but it goes further. The sa the direct precursor of the zeros of the decrees of the mitzim and the malus of mitzim [clears throat] the kingdom of Egypt to make to create and and and and carry out decrees against the yidden was for one reason only. because the yidden were going outside of their natur of their boundaries that they were told to live by by by by byu. So he says as follows not only that the yin stopped doing bism because they wanted to be more like the the more they were into the the more they were involved with the the more they became influenced by the that's based upon the yankim says yankino auoken taught his children that there are no two options It [clears throat] is not the optional, it is the imperative. Says it is not a luxury that I will keep myself away from the goyan. If we want to continue existing, if we want to live, if we want to thrive, we want to grow, the only way we can possibly experience those milo is to the extent we keep our waves away from the >> [clears throat] >> The very existence of the Jew depends upon to what Madre and as mentioned on a corresponding level. This the Jew is Zo to keep himself away from the goitz makes another most important observation. He says if you will scroll through the mitzvah assay the the positive commandments and the negative commandments of the Tyra mitzvah you will find that most of the mitzvah when you will turn page after page after page you will come to take notice that most of the the overwhelming majority of positive commandments and negative commandments are concern the in of The overwhelming amount of of of commands by in the oral tradition and in the written condition tradition also is keep yourself away from the good. It's an observation. And he says something very very powerful. When tell us when the tells us [clears throat] maybe you know what I hear in those words of says I'll tell you what I hear I hear from this a be beware be be careful be careful as watch it football. Now, football in was really um soccer, but this is what he says. I hear in these commands, keep away from soccer. Now, what does soccer have to do with with with Yiddish kite? The answer is it has so much to do with Yiddish kite because to the extent that we have an affinity with the that albeit soccer but if there is an affinity with the on any level that detracts to the extent that it is a virtual impossibility for them to coexist to to have a coexistence between a yid and yedish kite [clears throat] and a with goyish kite is a virtual impossibility. And therefore the is telling you there is no of football's words football there's no there's nothing that you're doing wrong per se leave out the bit element which is very difficult to leave out but let leave it out for a few moments the job of the Jew in this world as commanded by the overwhelming majority of mitz and mitsay is to keep away from the I once mentioned the I'd like I I think I'm I'm right. It says in the in the it says that that a Jew is not allowed to go to the and of the and and the theaters and the um another thing it says over there it says or stadion stadiums of the So if I'm not mistaken, I believe in the according to the there is a a a which tells us keep away and that's a love is saying he's not invoking what I just told you. He's saying without love, without there's a separate is a separate um we're being commanded by the Tyra more correctly said to keep away from anything that's goes that's then says as follows if you shall remain separate from the then you'll be to live in peace. I will there's the if you are you mix with the you know what that really means the will not be of you not of you means it's one step prior to doing something overtly to against the Jew to hurt the Jew if you're not m of somebody there's no problem in hurting him he is a nobody so this is what the nitiv is telling us that if you will be bodishin you'll be able to live like a yided like aided if you live like the then the will not be the will then become avo you'll be the and he'll be a roy of the Jew. Why? Because you refuse to live separate from the The does not really want you on a natural level, spiritual natural level. The go and the will then be right of the I once heard a phenomenal appreciation of mal when he built in Benhurst. So someone asked him why in Beninhurst Borough Park is a stones throw away talking about in the early 50s late 40s early 50s and he there were a lot of yin in in Bora Park very so Le said as follows in Benhurst you have the Italians in Bora Park you have the Jews but the Jews in Bora Park are not terodiki yidden in the 40s and 50s they were fryed modern they had ideas which ran contrary and contra distinction to the that we have so and if was afraid perhaps we can become influenced in any level by those Jews because they are Jews so on a natural level we will involve ourselves with them partly a third a quarter we will involve ourselves that's a danger keep yourself away from possibility of becoming influenced by those in Mashen and the Italians we're not going to become influenced by the Italians. That's just to give you an appreciation of what this hash was by way of mal was a talmid of the tells us say we say the inh says a to heal him says I'm sorry bizarvo the lotion is bizarre which means what's what is what caused that we should have to go from Medina to Medina as we shall soon see the Y is always being taken away from where he lives into exile that which you want to become close to the go it creates a tremendous danger for the existence of the Yid spiritually speaking and therefore to protect the Jew from becoming more and more influenced by the Hashem will send you away and we'll see that soon in a few minutes there's a says this is not a listen to these words closely It's a warning is telling about his children. It's a warning. What's he telling him? I warn you the Jew in the gullis should always be in a mat of G. No affinity to the Gisha world. none whatsoever. To the extent that we show that we have no affinity to the Gisha world, then we will be able to live in peace. If not, there's a to take us away so that we should not continue being influenced by the in the we say. Now, Lavan was and yet he wanted to he wanted to annihilate and therefore Yankab had to leave. But if the truth be told says that you can't here was who was considered a a relative sons of of of grandchildren of he was he wanted to knock out everything and why did he want to do it? We were living together and love were living together. If they would not be have been living together, perhaps it would not have been the case. But he wanted to knock out everything. Why? When you become close to the loans of the world, let him be your relative. may become close to the loved ones of the world that is a point of danger and that can eradicate one's entireish there's genius and was written many say he talked about the late 1800s early 1900s in Europe and he said that I think that we're going to have a situation where there'll be a tremendous this is 40 years a possibility before World War II and he says there's a geer from the reform movement wrote a new and he says that is going to lead to a different of the go against the yen and sure enough wrote his protocols of Zion which were all of how to decimate how to to to um totally annihilate the Jewish people. And then he says as follows, you should know, let me explain to you the history of the Jew. The Jew is sent into exile. They're living in a land where they can't live with the anymore. The is starting up with them and pillaging and and and and and burning and and killing our so we go to another Medina. In the new Medina says, "We don't know anybody. We don't know the language. We don't know the culture. So we stay closer to ourselves and even though we've come and we don't know have any but eventually we build we learn and and we are able to be successful spiritually. However he says after 200 years or so is his words not mine. when the yeid becomes more comfortable because he understands the language, he understands the culture. And then they say this is and I quote Berlin. The yin in those days was saying that Berlin you shall out with the old in with the new out with you and now you have Berlin which is culture and and and had the greatest scholars in the goes they're the ones and therefore he says as follows if you want to be able to live in a medina without the wanting to throw you out of that medina at that place where you're is only one way. To the extent that the yid makes kdish, the will not make. If the yid does not make kush, the will make he will separate us from them which will immediately lead to persecution at all. This is a It could get to a point where you'll hear from them articulating who says you should learn be a good Jew who says you should try to learn a meaningful part of your your your life in practice mitzv and practice. There are many people out there loyal who do not have these whatever the reason might be but they have definitely gone away from their is a warning sign if that happens and it can happen to others then says in order to protect you I want you out of this land there's a safer written by in the time of the safer Brisb he says something so powerful written 250 years ago someone told me this safer did not leave the table of when I heard that I went and bought the safer and I see over here he says something he's bothered by a question he says I don't understand please explain to me we don't have a why Not he says do you know that we are learning so listen to his words I'll come back to the first words why is there such a go learning learning everything 250 years ago in You hear? Written 250 years ago. Why is not coming to take us? And we have and they cry. They want they want Msiah to come and he's not coming. They they're giving so much. They're giving stockus and mitzvah. The yin are mitzvah. And he complains. The the Christians they look at us and they say it's 1700 years. Then it was 1700 years. Now it's almost 2,000. 17 it is 3,000. I think 1700 years ago it was se it was it was then only 1700 that we were in gullis and the Catholics and the Christians and were laughing you're waiting to come to go to Israel with mashu look you're in go for 1700 years already he brings all this down I don't know what else we could do what are we doing wrong written 250 years ago says the the the the I think I have allow I want to you have to hear his words please I'll read them slow but listen to his words what is the mafia and I found I found the reason why Msiah has yet to come at all He says everything they do if you would think if you look into their but they were to be more introspective or to be more Freudian I think it was yeah to be psychonal analyze why we do all that we do and these are his words not mine Yeah, people are really not interested in in in No, they have other What does that mean? They're learning. They're doing everything. That's You know why they're dinging? Because they want a good place in Do you hear? That's considered not doing they're not interested in being emancipated from this. If anything, they want it for themselves. We'll be able to live in and enjoy and then he goes to town. We want to live long. You know why? Because we want to be with our wivesto and our children. That's why we want to live long and that should not be the reason why we want to live long. We should want to live long. So we can and the Yehudi the Yehoodi is only interested in in panos and he'll tell you I want panos. I give it to but the truth be told he wants panos. He wants money, bucks and he wants to build himself a big house with marble and stone. The house will live long as they say in the classics forever after his children shall be there and he should enjoy life with his children. He should die on his bed without any complications. Just close his eyes and then the rav of the ear will say a nice hespit. That's what I want. Let's not rock the boat. Live long. Let the kids enjoy and the rav will say a good hespit. The year written 250 years. I stress it by the safer breeze. He should have a big laa. It shouldn't come out on July 4th weekend in the city if you know what I If you get the drift, okay, they should make for him a nice sign plac and every he'll yell and scream. But you know what says sris? He's not interested in you know why he's too busy with the architects building that dreamhouse of his. He can't come now. I'm still building. It's a two, threeear project. I can't have now. These are his words. I can't I can't have Msiah now. Let's understand. I am building. I didn't even put the marble in the bathrooms yet, let alone the kitchen. How come she come now? These are his words. We're being told and taught by say that we should perhaps be more introspective, more psychalize ourselves. Why do we want to make the money we make? Why are we performing the mitzvah we perform? And why do we practice the yiddish kite that we practice? Is this indeed you can't make this away? He lived in VNA the time of the go 250 years ago. The only for the yeid in the go is to the extent that mentioned we make ourselves kdish. If we make that kdish that we mentioned before then the will not be mail will not say I'm different than the Jew and therefore beat up the Jew and harass the Jew and kill the Jew. They will the Jew will not be a subject in the mind of the Now you realize why I'm mentioning this because of what we're going through especially in New York. But you know something it halai should not have been true but when the smoke sometimes they say as the adage goes is fire. I heard that there a fellow gave kdish in sh after a certain basketball team won a championship. Is there any greater manifestation of than that? What shas do we have with the What sh do we have with the That he didn't should spend astronomical amounts of money to go into a arena and see a basketball game which I heard happened. How it should not have happened but I heard from reliable sources that it happened. That is a manifestation of you are going to their and like the brings down and that can lead to the greatest tragical most and most tragic of of of circumstances. The yid is not separate from the The yid is is living his life exactly like the Perhaps when he puts on thrill in the morning it's not. There could also be reasons why he put it on the film. Who knows? So this is something which I wanted to bring your to your attention says that he once saw the making the and took the 10 minutes to make the 10 minutes and he asked the rebi why are you taking so long in making the whereupon told this individual don't you understand before I say I want to make sure that I have no goish kite in me. It took the a tremendous amount of toil, meditation, thinking, not allowing himself to be fooled or faked to understand to make sure that he had no goish kite in him. That's major. Someone once asked if I'm not mistaken we make the by by every other one which is a negative but all the other we say all in the positive. So why not why and if you're making that so why not say that I mean that's the sh says the it's a that we're not a but to make a Jew it's upon you to make yourself the Jew that you should be that's incumbent upon every one of us we should do that we say but make sure that we understand how of it is that indeed we are different than the Goya. If Yanka Galinsky brings down such a mess that Shak walked to the base of Medish and he saw Yan Galinski in Ponovish and Shak asked him who is the president of the United States who won the elections and Yanov said Karter. So Rach said and but asked him why do you want to know? He says, "What do you mean? What do I know? When I make you think I mean to the president of the United States, I am so we are so so far removed as we shall see in a few moments from being like the so far removed that let him be the president of the United States of America. the most powerful man of the world. me as a Jew. So not that surpasses I'm a different nra. I'm a different cre form of creation. In fact Prague says there are five forms of creation each one more sophisticated than the other. The d the rock the stone it's that which grows foliage the then then you have and produce then you have the kai the animal kingdom. Then you have the madabir, the human human kingdom, the human race. And then you have a fifth one. That's four. What's the fifth? A Israel. The nation of Israel, every yeid. You know, someone once asked me concerning this morale, isn't it racist that we to the exclusion of everybody else in the world are are a different form of a more sophisticated form of creation than every other creation? I told the person racism is only if it's not true. But if it's true, it's not racist. Think into it. That's what we're saying. We say every day, three times a day. It's a who was saying you did not make me like the of the of the world and yet you go to a ball game. How do you how does it drive with your elenu not finished? This is a manifestation of total disengagement from the I told you about but the go but that so I'm sorry that that's that so we're saying is in itself a manifestation of of a brittlein of the a total bit of the and the goa mode of spent 10 minutes of his holy time to make sure that before he would say that he would not have any not even part go in him that's major sometimes it can it can happen let us think for a few moments a little bit deeper why indeed perhaps are we messy with the good why do we have with the So it could very well be that we feel that perhaps the might have something above us or something that will be equal to us and might be to respect the or the way he lives his life says I want you to know that but we read in a few weeks ago listen to the words of the when a person loses which I'm going to bring to your attention in a few moments of appreciating one's own and it's necessary it's it's it's it's also it's the imperative as soon says if a person sinks or sulks into himself and says I'm nothing special and he has a low self-esteem thinking to himself who am I and what am I and therefore here goes the here goes the kicker therefore we think that others look at us in such a manner if I look at myself as being a nothing not worth too much not more superior to the Then I think that the looks at me the same way that he thinks of me as being a nothing says and that's a allow me to read you from a few lines his words are two says I want you to know before I get to the it's incumbent upon every man and woman to Who are we? says I'm some of old but do you know that before gave the to do you know what told us everybody say that you are says it's quite evident that prior the precursor prior to us accepting the there must be this full understanding and appreciation of one's self who are you aided know who you come from. You don't come from an old man who was nifa and you saw in the last years of your life. No, you come from yed of generations of yen who have been you come from prophets. You come from you come from that's the the says of name we should meditate and think and on to the extent that we appreciate how we are o will we act differently. I said over many times my neighbor of GIF used to always say the greatest re rebuke the greatest form of rebuke that was ever meed out to a boy to a ber in the Lithuanian yes you know what it was rabbi in Yiddish you're two you're you're you're not in accordance with your it's unbecoming of you based upon yourash says of Aaron, when a person works on himself, first know thine self. Know who you are. Recognize, think, meditate, recognize that way will keep you away from me. A scion of prophets of the mo. me a son of someone who said Israel when he or she went into the cremator into the gas ovens of of of me who I come from I should act in a way which is not in accordance with my kash now let's think for one second before I go v how does it pass for a mel [snorts] king George the 5th to sit in the in in in in the stands of an arena where playing a basketball game on one's selfiz. Forget about the other is that they're all a bunch of anti-semmites as it is. No problem. We're in kafas when they sit down over there when they come in. that that's and that also should serve to say and these people are rev ends up and says and in accordance with your recognition of your mile you'll never come to says as follows he says and I quote this this has to be quoted because if not you'll never believe it buckle your seat belt ra closely says of just like there's a shame just like one believes in so too is that individual to believe in himself. What? Yes. believe in oneself that you're believe that you are a as mentioned a a a a a a your a your a your a your a your a your a your a your a your a your a your progeny of of of and that will give you the added inspiration not to compromise on your yiddish kite writes in one of his nowadays there is no vor there's no but there's a minus There is a different blasphemy that is being propagated by those blasphemes those that are blasphemes says of you know what it is calls that a lack of self appreciation is minus it's called blasphemy it's called apricurs and the founder of writes it also int now why is it called blasphemy because to the extent that you realize that each and every one of you were created for a reason a divinely inspired reason orchestrated the events in this world in accordance with your gave you with vested in you to create in this world for yourself and for others around you and if you don't believe that you believe that you could stop you could fch your time I said I don't if I ever said it here I said it many times Mr. Twain as in Mark once said, "There's a favorite American pastime." You know what they call it? Anybody here know what they call it? I'll tell you. Killing time. Let's kill some time. We call it committing suicide. Halfway, a third or a quarter, but it's suicide. There's no such thing as is is is killing time. says of that we do not that this is a form of minus that we don't believe in ourselves the once said as follows concerning the mira says in the pik that they thought of us we thought that they looked at we looked at them that they were giants but we thought they looked at us that we were ants grasshoppers says the kotskba I want you to know something. The problem with the was why are you thinking about what others think of you? Especially goyam what does it matter to you? Why are you letting them into your real estate into your brain? They don't belong there. That's not where they belong. Why do you let them into your mind? Why the go into your mind? And it's brought down. This goes back to the medish says you know what you know how they really looked at us didn't know but the medish tells us what they how they looked at us. They looked at us as if we are angels as we are heavenly saints as we are angels. They looked at us that we are angels. We didn't know that. And the truth is we are angels. I'm sorry writes in a place that indeed a yeided every and any yeed is considered more angelic than an angel, more spiritual than an angel. That's who we are. The Leo brings down that all throughout the generations, no matter what the did to us, they were never successful in compromising our dedication, our sorry, our identity as Jews. Allow me to explain. We say in in in in Phisu, we say in Phillis my No, he's not here. Maybe this is it. One second. Someone give me a regular sid if you don't mind. Thank you. We say in in in I appreciate I'm sorry. Listen to the words we say in in inestra. How many of us have thought about it? We say where is it here? One second. What am I holding here? One second. I'll have to find it. It's here. But we say in in in the in the elit so much Shapiro asked if they are if there's enu means we are being afflicted by the so how do you say and if that means we are not being afflicted then how do you say that we are that's his kash he wants to And I thought I saw a riot to it today over here in in in I'll get there. One more second. I'll just make sure I have a quick look at this. It's It'll be when I find it. Oh, here it is. Huh? are we the events of 39 to 45 of 39 to 45 those and we say like I mentioned to you now I'll tell you and then I'll tell you that says of desl have done everything to us over all the centuries they have pained us pillaged us burnt us murdered us but the yid never ever succumbed to the goes in treats of being your identity as a whatever they threw at us. We always knew that we are above the Like rebung's father said to her in Ovitz, they're sitting there waiting to be killed and she ended up being saved by and her father said, "Listen to me closely, Kinder." Seeing the smoke stacks and everything that smelled of ye being burnt, we would still rather be a yeid at this very moment than be a theid. knew it's talking and nothing to do with us were never successful in compromising the the there might have been one mash here and one mash there but that's about it the masses of kai Israel gave their lives alkid shashim because in In order not to do that would mean to compromise their identity as yidden and that a yid never did all throughout the millennia all throughout the centuries yid never compromised their identity as Jews and that's what's meant you could pine us you could hurt us you could do whatever you want but we still retain our identity as Jews we are we're never going to allow the koi to compromise us and our identity as Jews of desim therefore At the end of a mimer he says how beautiful this is this is this is a statement if we would have the proper perspective the proper eyes to understand and appreciate what we are witnessing or what we are a Jew is not less and as mentioned according to the even better than a malik if I told you that you're a malik Would that not make an incumbent upon you and upon myself to act differently? We have unbelievable. It is hidden the to be involved in in in in the pleasures of they are they are in front of us. And the effort of desa ends up and says you know what that means means means every one of us is given a divine in this world I said over many times in my you know what that means I say that if I won't accomplish the that I was divinely fitted to accomplish in this world it shall remain forever unfulfilled every Jew who has his own and his own divine mission and therefore in that respect you are more than you're because you have a mission that they did not were not given and that's what we're being told is not less than a malik or perhaps even greater why don't you consider appreci if the the the the anim looked at us that they were malim. Why did you not have the self-esteem to realize on your own that you're malim and therefore you would not allow a misinterpretation of what the of the what the saw that you thought they saw because you are missing in your self-esteem has a to wake up in the morning and say I have novelt I am aided and a proud Jew and I know that I'm here for a divine mission. I'm very I'm a that's a fact. That's a the children of the right whenever we say it means are we to involve ourselves in with words and nomenclatures which are totally foreign and strange to the The go does not have the go does not haveus. The does not have mikus. The god does not have breaking of gashomi. Only the Jew has all this. And the Jew is being charged to accomplish all these things. So let's say to ourselves, I can never see myself being part of a or a goish activity such as mentioned before. It's a it's it's it's uppercours because you as mentioned before from and from because you are now denying by your actions of acting like a and being with the and sitting with the by doing so you are now making a statement that I'm no different than the that's apocus you created with a mission such a great and grandiose mission that even shak and rashinstein does not have that mission and if you will not accomplish that mission it shall remain forever unfulfilled would give you all to hear these words number one the success of the Jew and the go depends to what extent he keeps himself away from the and if he involves himself with the that can bring be the results can be catastrophic as the history of the Jewish people as are as articulated by the suggests opines. That's number one. Number two, realize your kash. Realize who you come from. Realize that you have a mission in this world and realize that you have no free time. A Jew is not gift given free time. Every moment you have is is going to be is called for accomplish if you can't have learn a garum. But every moment is opportunity knocks. every moment you're given the opportunity to may we all be to learn these most important and fundamental that will lead us to the promised land or meaning better even to Ghana and to take that >> go ahead Sh inspiring the board member for sponsoring tonight gold for sponsoring sponsoring call 7188518651 want to email.com for coming. foreign.
