The more news you watch, the crazy you
are
because that's what happens as a result
of watching the news. So people are
going a little cuckoo right now. And
some are saying, "Oh, it's time to
leave. America is the worst. We got to
go to Israel." Okay. But you realize in
Israel it's in some places it's actually
much worse, right? No. No. But at least
it's Jewish people over there. Yeah.
Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Those Jews are
going to beat you up also. Especially if
you're religious. Exactly. Because
you're religious, they're going to beat
you up. Oh, so where should we go?
England. Oh, not not over there. It's
not exactly peaches either. Where we
should go? Italy. Oh, not peaches there.
WHERE SHOULD WE GO? Listen to the
advice.
The exile policy, the the the it doesn't
tell us to just get up and run away at
this stage.
But many people are many people are
saying it's time to make aliyah. It's
time to run away because situation is
terrible. But is making it pretty clear.
It's terrible everywhere.
It's not terrible because of the
Americans. It's not terrible because of
the British. It's not terrible because
of the Germans. It's not terrible
because of the black people or the
Mexican people or the the Spanish
people. It's not terrible because of
it's terrible because of us.
We did something
to make Hashem bring terrible here.
Now you're going to say, "Wait a minute.
You're saying that because AmI is not
exactly doing everything
that they're supposed to, that Hashem is
bringing tragedy to the whole world.
That's not what I'm saying. That's what
the is saying.
Me, who cares what I say? I don't even
care what I say.
That's what it says.

said
misfortune comes to the world only on
the account of Israel.
As it says in chapter 3 verse 6
says God says I have eliminated nations
their towers have become desolate I've
destroyed their streets their cities
have become ruins
and it's written In the next verse,
I said in wrecking this destruction,
just fear me, oh Is extract a lesson.
So the here says
that God is bringing dramatic punishment
upon
the nations
so that is who are witnesses to this
will become fearful of Hashem
because they can be punished as well and
do chuva.
That's the whole goal.
Stop asking why is Hashem bringing
corona virus. Stop asking why is the
economy about to crash or crashing or
whatever it is. Why? Why? Don't ask why.
Ask what can I do about it.
What you can do is do cha.
Whatever you're not doing that's
written, start doing it when yesterday.
Yeah, but I'm already religious.
Apparently not enough.
How do you know I'm not enough? Because
if you are religious enough, you could
actually bring enough good to the rest
of the nation. That's how good you could
be.
One person could be holy enough to bring
merit to the entire nation. We've seen
it countless times in the Torah. Meaning
that nobody, nobody, even the biggest
rabbis in the world, the most righteous,
even themselves, they know they could do
more. Everybody could do more. Needless
to say, myself.
>> [snorts]
>> Everybody can do more.
Everybody needs to do more
because what's happening abai is that is
bringing wrath to the world because
needs to do chuva.
Now many people are focused on what am I
gonna do with my money
because in you know in in Germany they
took everything we had so never again
right we say never again so everybody's
trying to prepare so people are asking
me rabbi where can I get a good book
about where can I get a GOOD BOOK ABOUT
MS WHEN uh what lecture you doing this
week how much can I donate to sponsor
the next event no instead of those
questions you know what I get all day
rabbi Right. Since the stock market is
probably going to crash,
what should I invest in?
Since you mentioned in the shure, an 8
hour shure that gold is just a you know
figment of our imagination that has any
value.
Since that's not going to be good, where
should I invest it? Like instead of how
could I get all of the money that I have
invested and fix my people are trying to
fix their
where could I put my nest egg to keep it
nesting
to keep it growing more chickens
more cars more houses bigger retirement
plan a bigger will that's going to
benefit a bunch of strangers you care
less about
because that's usually what ends up
happening.
Everybody works their whole life. They
build a big nest egg thinking that oh
this is going to go to my kids and then
eventually by the time it goes to their
kids also 500 other people also had
their hand in this and you know the
people that you want to have their hand
in it don't get anything.
So you worked your whole life for
everybody else to benefit especially
your enemies
and that's what happens with people.
Why? You're supposed to plan ahead with
staka. How do you plan ahead with staka?
Give it during your life not after
you're dead. Not after you're dead.
Don't wait till you die to give it taka.
Give it while you're alive. Right now is
an opportunity for to start thinking
clearly why is making the situation
clear.
It doesn't look good.
You're worrying about your 401k. You're
worrying about your stock portfolio.
You're worrying about your real estate
portfolio. You're worrying about all of
these different things. And you're not
worrying about if you're doing the right
thing as far as Allah.
[music]
Amen.
