Mr.
Julio, good to see you guys.
Kosher
Kid, I haven't seen you before, Mr.
Anonymous. Nice to see you. Don't know
who you
are. No, the Torah does not support that
community.
to everyone. Tonight we're going to have
another sh another amazing sh that we're
going to learn together about the holy
of and his war of series. Tonight's show
is going to be for
the
forum. And a very very very special
thank you to all of those that support
the organization. May Hashem bless each
and every single one of you.
thousandfold of what you donate to the
organization uh in this world and
endless fold uh in the next
world. uh appreciate everybody donating
and supporting and more of you will uh
will do that as well especially in the
uh campaign that we have right now in
the uh uh for the to help uh poor
families in anyone that wants to help us
feed them help them financially uh this
week is the week we're doing it and we
will succeed also for anyone who hasn't
ordered the uh the books yet they from
the Kiru store they're going out faster
then they're coming in. And there's a
lot of orders. So, if you have ordered
yet, you'll get it. Don't worry. If you
haven't gotten it yet, you'll get it. If
um you haven't ordered yet, order as
soon as possible because supplies run
out eventually. So, uh you have an
opportunity to go to
kofstore.org, order the new uh books
that we have over there, the anti-manis
book, uh the uh the books uh that we
have of Rabbi Frame. Uh we'll have some
more stuff on the store very soon. Uh so
you could order as soon as possible. And
of course the uh the best thing to give
to your community are these uh Kiru
cards that we have tuna cards. It's
simply from from my perspective it's the
best investment in the world. That's why
we keep doing it. It's cheap. It's
efficient and it's gets results.
Literally you can get a box of them.
It's only comes 10 in a box. You put
them in 10 different locations and
literally you can get uh I would say no
less than 20 to uh to a couple of
hundred ballet chuva from each one of
those boxes. So people that uh have a uh
have a literally will make it uh part of
their day-to-day and uh order as many of
those as possible because they're
effective. They help people. Uh and they
also promote our aside from the film of
Tikunit, they also promote the AI rabbi
app that you can download and subscribe
to at a
rabbi.org. So with that being said,
let's get started.
We have a continuation a continuation of
what we started last week uh
whereas told us that all of the efforts
of money, time, attention, cavode that
is given to these messengers whether
they are Jewish politicians or
non-Jewish politicians these influencers
these uh uh Shapiro of the world, the pl
pragers of the world and other
politicians. All of that investment that
the Jewish community puts into those
types of people is for not. It's a
waste, a waste of effort, a waste of
money. Nothing good will ever come out
of it. And he said the first sign the
first sign that you see that this is a
person that is not looking for the
greater good of am is simply put he is
looking for the opposite of what the
Jewish leaders throughout our history
our Torah sages what do they look for he
is looking for an he's looking for
himself whereas the Jewish leaders were
looking for others
so the more time politics take up in
people's minds and today it's more than
ever people literally are into politics
where they pay attention to what was
announced every single day in the white
house and the blue house and the red
house and any other house that talks
politics they know more about
politicians than they know about
throughout
history and uh a lot of time is spent on
politics people have an opinion about
politics whether it's Israeli politics
Russian politics uh you know American
politics politics in all different
countries around the world, people spend
an enormous amount of effort in politics
and
politicians and always think that they
have the solution that if they get their
guy in
power on this seat on the throne, then
we're going to win as a nation. And the
truth is, it's surprising to those
people when they hear
how and other great Torah sages
completely rejected the proposed
benefits to be gained from these
politicians, Jewish or Gentile.
Tonight we're going to dig a little
deeper into this rationale behind the
words of the rav and even learn an
extraordinary from the
aboutu and what are the requirements for
success as a leader of the Jewish
people. Highly recommend you share this
lecture with anyone you know that still
has a pulse because it's certainly going
to be words that can shape your
ideology.
So the told us as I said the leaders the
messengers that people are spending all
their money donating to them are
constantly looking for themselves. This
is the opposite of what the leaders of
Israel have
done and he gives us an
example. Mosher Rabenu. Who is better
than Mosherenu? The leader of all
leaders, the prophet of all
prophets.
Mosherenu. He says
Mosherenu. No one was ever or will ever
be like
him. How great he
was. Yet in his own
eyes, he was as humble as can possibly
be. the humblest man that ever lived or
ever will
live. And if you compare that to the
greatest leaders of the Gentiles in
history
and they used to say about
themselves, everyone is a zero in
comparison to us.
So here we see a ideological difference
between the
two. On one
end is telling us that investing into
politicians or influencers or power
brokers or whatever it may be is a waste
of effort because they look for this ani
and he wants to give us the example of
the greatest leader we ever had
Mosherenu. And Mosher Rabenu's
most well-known character trait is his
humility. So as great as he was, I mean
literally he was powerful. He was the
wisest of all. In fact says that when we
say
that was the wisest man of
all. It's not compared to
Mosherenu. But you said the wisest man
of all. Yes. Of all men. Mosher Rabenu
was not considered a regular person. He
was considered half angel, half
person. That's how he elevated himself.
He's talking to Hashem like you talk to
your
friend. Why wouldn't he think he's
greater than everybody
else? And if you look at the leaders
that conquered the entire
world, you can't say that Donald Trump
is the greatest leader ever. He hasn't
conquered the entire world. You can't
say that was the greatest leader. He
hasn't conquered the entire world. But
the goim did have a couple of leaders
that conquered the entire world
and who said about themselves their ego
as a result of their accomplishments as
a result of things that were
material allowed them to believe that
literally everyone was a zero next to
them. But their end was a
destruction. While the end of Mosheu was
the complete salvation of Am the freedom
of slaves for the first and last time in
history where the slaves became the
masters and his name is known by every
person on planet earth throughout all of
history both Jews and
Gentiles.
His teachings are learned every single
second this world
exists. But he was humble. It's the
opposite of them. In
fact,
in says that was not just the Messiah
that took us out of Egypt and brought us
to salvation back then, but rather he
will be the last Messiah. He will be the
Messiah. And we get this from a hint to
this. What was is what will be and
the first letter of
mash is
mesh. What was the past mashia that we
had that brought us out of Egypt? Who is
what is going to be? He is actually the
Messiah. So I know that a lot of people
may be disappointed because they thought
their rabbi is going to be Msiah or or
or or their father or they are the
Messiah. But no, Mosherenu is gonna be
Msiah. That's what
says. And the reason says the reason why
Mosher Rabenu has not come yet is
because
Mosherenu refuses to come so long as Am
is lazy when it comes to learning Torah
and
doing he doesn't want to come and bring
salvation to a bunch of
lugards, a bunch of people that are too
busy watching sports instead of learning
Torah. One time Kabadnik came to invite
Rab Fry our own very dear Rab Fry Kakon
Gon giant among giants that most people
don't even realize what they have in
their hands in this generation and I'm
not saying it because he's just simply
my rabbi simply because if you learn his
Torah you understand very
quickly one of my favorite things in the
world has been to see
when opened his book for The first time
I remember one
time there was a event of rabbis that I
was invited to and it was a bunch the
whole place was full
of and they didn't
know I brought some of his books to the
event and I gave it to some of the diane
the people that were on stage and as
people were giving speeches of course
the
diane you What are they going to do?
They're open the book. There's a book in
front of them. They start reading
it and the joy that I had looking at
their
faces like like literally they just
discovered the greatest treasure they
ever saw in their
life. But most people are not familiar
with it.
And therefore you could
have that are giants among giants
sitting right next to you in you
wouldn't even know giants that are
giving shim giants that are leading
synagogues. But unfortunately many
times are sometimes
restricted to the of the board the
people or whatever it is. Either way,
eventually the sun
rises. That's
what the one
of said when uh a bunch
of a bunch of people came to him to get
his signature to sign against Ra when he
was still young but
already was recognized as one of Israel.
Recognized as somebody as very special.
He said, "We want you to sign against
them because he said something against
what we believe." He laughs at them. He
says, "You want to put a net on the sun
after it
rose? Eventually, the sun
rises." Anyway, this one
Kabadnik came to Rabim to invite him
what? To invite him for what? to invite
him to a what he called sudat mashiach a
feast for the
mashiach you know in in essence
celebrating the mashiach is gonna come
obviously he believed that this rabbi
that has passed away for over 30 years
is the msiah but nonetheless he says I
want to invite you to come to mashiach
we're having it at the kabad house in
Israel I'm sorry I cannot come why not
mashiach he says I have something more
important to do I have to go learn
just learn to no it's more important to
have a feast for the Msiah to come he
says no according to
the and according to the and according
to the and according to every major proc
in the history of Israel there's nothing
greater than learning Torah and in
fact
since the mashiach is not going to
come until we learn
Torah
properly. I have to go learn Torah to
bring close to
Mashiach
says the Mashiach and he's not going to
come until we start learning Torah more
seriously instead of having you know
other things like
feasts. So this got upset. No, why did
say such a thing? Mashia is never going
to come
then says listen I didn't say it said
you have a problem you go go
to I don't know if you want to deal with
him because he wrote in
his
called
in that anyone who rejects his
words not for the sake of heaven meaning
just because they want to disagree they
want they uh for not for the sake of
heaven
He says, "I will personally have to deal
with them. They'll deal with me as I
will uproot them from the world and
annihilate them." This he's talking
about after he passed away
already. So you want to mess with
disagree with them, go ahead, have fun.
The kabadnik wasn't too happy, but he
didn't have much to say.
reality is sitting and learning the
Torah is much more
important. And
Mosherenu his humility was beyond
anything that we can possibly comprehend
as the midrash
says that it wasn't just his humility
next to the greatness of his brother Aun
who himself was also very
humble. Despite his
greatness, his humility was not great
only next to let's say Yeshua Benoon
whose humility was also
unbelievable. His humility wasn't only
next to if he compared himself
to our forefathers.
No,
Musherenu thought of himself as even
below someone that
had now someone that
has always makes me laugh during the
shim. We have he says someone has
doesn't really have much to be proud
about. I mean even if his uh nose is
very high in the air eventually falls
off because of theat looks at his no
falls on the floor.
Someone has his body falls
apart. But
Mosheu found something in that
person that was greater than him.
Something like that. We cannot
understand. And we see that
humility is not something that just
happened.
Rather
says
this is the main
condition for a leader of the Jewish
community to
succeed. He must delay his personal
benefit and personal good for the sake
of the masses. And this is how it has
been with our nation's leaders
forever. So we see from
here that humility is not just something
that's a good
recommendation but rather a prerequisite
for anyone who is looking to lead the
Jewish people whether it's the entire
people or even a small
group of Jews. you want to lead
them the first requirement if you want
to succeed I mean you can lead them with
without this requirement you're just
going to fail eventually it's going to
explode and it's going to be a disaster
they may become heretics they may become
uh secular they may become atheists they
may even convert to different religions
if you do it
otherwise but if you want to succeed
leading the Jewish
people humility is an absolute
must and It's seen by your
sacrifice of your own personal benefit
and
good for the sake of the benefit of the
masses, the benefit of those you
lead. And this is how it has been for
our nation's leaders forever.
The
inot page
10A gives us a story that will give us a
little bit more
insight of what leadership is in the
eyes of the
Torah
versus what people view as leadership
today. The secret says a story where
there was one
time an incident of Gamil and
Rabu who got on a ship at the same
time was the
Ni. He was the king.
He was going for the sake of am to go
perhaps speak to the Roman Caesar, do
things that are necessary for the
benefit of the
nation. Yesua on the other
hand was going to collect daka was going
to make money to make a
living and they happened to be on the
same
ship. Bengalier brought with him a few
loaves of
bread. He figured he's going to be on a
ship for couple of days. He only needs a
few loaves of
bread. Yeshua, on the other hand, says,
brought bread, but also a bunch of
flour because he assumed that he's going
to have to make bread. He's going to run
out of bread.
And to just bring more bread is not a
good idea because it'll get
moldy. Whereas flour stays fresh and you
could make bread later on, even if it's
a week
later. After a few days, they didn't get
to their destination. And Raban Gaml
finished his bread.
He looked at and Yeshua is happy. Oh,
don't worry. I have I got you. I got a
bunch of flour. What kind of bread do
you want? You want lafa? Do you want
pizza? What do you want? I'll make it
for
you. Was
surprised. What did you have or
something? And you knew that we're going
to have such a long
delay to our destination that you ended
up bringing so much
flour. How did you How did you know? How
did you know to bring flour? I mean,
this trip of taking it at a thousand
times takes three
days. The three days have passed. We're
nowhere even
close. But you have enough.
How did you know? This as a side note
shows that even the
tan we're able to resurrect the dead and
certainly
had showed
that doesn't work on demand where
whenever you want it you have
it. So Gabriel didn't know this is going
to happen but Yeshua apparently did this
knew that this is going to happen. So
says, "How do you
know?" Yeshua says to
him, "There's one star that
rises once every 70
years and misleads the sailors."
And I thought to myself, according to
the calculations that I had, perhaps the
star is going to rise during our journey
on the ship and is going to mislead the
the mislead
us because the way that the ship captain
knows where he's going. There's no
roads, there's no navigation system. The
way they know is they look at the stars,
position of the stars. They know this is
north, this is south, and so on. That's
how they know where to
go. But says, "Yeah, but there's one
star that appears only once every 70
years." So it could appear to
them and it'll look like something else.
So they'll think, "Oh, wait. This is the
wrong direction." And they'll turn
around and instead of really going in
the right direction, they're going back.
by the time they realize they've already
lost two, three
days of time. So it's a
problem. But this happens only once
every 177
years. When heard
this, he was even more enamored.
You have such
wisdom yet you're boarding a ship to go
earn a
livelihood.
Meaning says you're a genius. You're how
you have this calculation. You know all
this
information and you're going you're
struggling for money that you need to go
on a ship which is dangerous. In those
days it was very dangerous to travel by
ship.
You could be one of the great rabbis of
the
generation. Yesua answers him. Before
you wonder too much about
me, you should
wonder about two disciples that you
actually
have
and who possess so much
wisdom that they know how to estimate
how many drops there are in the ocean.
Meaning their wisdom is literally
immeasurable. These
two have wisdom that you cannot
comprehend at
all. Yet says
Joshua, they do not have bread to eat or
clothes to
wear. In
essence, Rabi Yeshua held
that sustenance is not dependent on
merit. rather it's dependent on
mazal. So even though these are two
giant they're as poor as can possibly
be took note of this and decided that as
soon as he gets back he is going to put
both of
these in a position of power so they can
make a living.
So as soon as he got back, he sent them
a
message to come. He wants to give them a
position of
authority. But they didn't
come. Didn't
come. He sent them another message. And
this time they said, "Listen, we can't
not come anymore."
So they came and
immediately realized they didn't come
because they were too humble to accept a
such a position where they're going to
get so much
honor. So he quickly says to them, "Oh,
you didn't come because it seems to you
that I'm offering you a position of
authority.
That's why you didn't come at first and
you're fleeing from
honor. But that's a mistake. I'm
offering you servitude is what I'm
giving
you. Being a leader of the Jewish people
is not honor. It's servitude.
As the Torah says in the book of Kings 1
12:7, they spoke to him saying, "If
today you become a servant to this
nation, what is this about?"
After Schlomik
died, the people came and they wanted
his son who became the new
king to lower the
taxes. Soam went to the said what should
I do? Theim told him be a servant to the
people. Help them. Plead with them.
Humble
yourself. If you have to lower, lower.
Yes. Whatever is necessary to help the
people. Theam also went to the
politicians. He went to Shapiro and
Prager and the rest of the
missionaries and he asked them, "What do
you think I should do with the people?"
And they told, "No, you want to lead.
You want to be a leader and not
everybody always thinking about your
father. He's the son of Slam, but you
want to be somebody that everybody
remembers." Be bold. Be strong. Be tough
with the
people. Tell them that if they don't pay
these 150% tariffs, no more
trades. And unfortunately, listen to the
politicians. And what happened? This
opened up the door of opportunity for
Benat who was a great but a
big who became a king empowered
himself and the kinghood of Davidid was
broken into two. Many
followed and eventually he led them to
idol worship.
So says
to you think that being a Jewish leader
is honor. It's
servitude. It's servitude.
Now when you see what said about the you
see also a little bit of a
difference
from where they were and where we are
today. What did complain about that they
don't have? They don't have food to eat
and clothes to
where it's not like today
where kid says ima I'm hungry. Okay
hungry go. There's a bunch of things in
the fridge. There's a bunch of things I
cooked today. Kid looks at the fridge,
closes it two seconds
later. Looks at the pot. The brand new
food she made. Nah, it's no good. This
is not food. I'm going to go I'm going
to order pizza. I'm going to go eat some
shama. There's no food here. No, there's
a lot of food. I just cooked. No, no,
no. It's not food. People sometimes are
spoiled. And if it's not the food that's
particularly in line with their taste
buds, it's considered
nothing. Also said they didn't have
clothes. It's like today where you have
an
event, it's coming up in a few
days and all of a sudden you see your
wife is upset, full of anxiety. Honey,
what's wrong? What happened? The kids
okay? Yes, they're fine. They're fine.
Your parents are okay. Yeah, they're
fine. They're fine. They're fine. What's
wrong then? What's wrong? Why? No, this
I don't know. I'm stressing out. Why?
Why are you stressing out? It's not our
We're going to We're going there. All we
have to do is show up, eat, same as
Alto. That's it. No, I have nothing to
wear. No, you open the closet.
Literally, it's Macy's. 500 dresses of
every single possible color. But she
says, "I have nothing to wear.
Nothing to
wear. Why isn't this good? No. No. I
wore this once. When did you wear it?
Last year in such people saw me in this
dress already. Oh, so it goes bad after
one time use. It's disposable. What
about this one? No, no, this one. I wore
it already to sim. That one? No, that
one is my Shabbat dress. That one? No,
that one is only for bar mitzvah. That
one? No, that one is for graduation.
Yeah, but all of our kids are little.
They're they're five, six, and seven
years old. What graduation of of what?
Of of kindergarten? No. No. A graduation
from from Yeshiva. Oh, so this dress is
for 20 years from
now. I'm saving it. I have nothing to
wear
now. Times have changed.
But
sometimes if we don't acknowledge
that we have to
change then we repeat the same mistakes.
is telling
us that the leaders of our
nation over the
generations knew that in order to
succeed, sacrifice for the sake of the
people is a
prerequisite. No different than
breathing every
day. Now, each person that says, "Oh my,
we have a leader in our community. We
have a board of directors. We have a
rabbi. That's great that you have all of
those things.
But what defines their
leadership? Is it is your definition of
leadership because they have that
position that they
sit on the stage during the
speeches? Or is it because they're the
ones that make the most sacrifices for
the sake of the people? Are they making
sacrifices for you or are they just
simply writing the checks for whatever
they
please? On the other hand
says, if you look at the
politicians, you look at the
influencers who roam freely, meaning
they do whatever they
want. They do it for their own
benefit. Meaning their leadership is not
for the benefit of the people. Their
benefit their the reason why they're a
politician. The reason why they are a
news anchor, a leader of some kind, why?
It's not because they want to help the
people like they say in their speeches.
It's not because they love the people
and they're sacrificing everything for
the people. No, has nothing to do with
it. It's for
themselves. The whole thing's a show of
saying that it's uh I'm doing it for the
people. No, it's for their own benefit.
And if you compare these people to the
real Jewish leaders throughout
history, they do not size up to even the
smallest of the small leaders we've had,
says because the politicians do not
sacrifice any of their own joy or lusts
and
desires. They're not willing to
sacrifice
anything and would never sacrifice
themsel for the sake of the good of the
public.
Rather, the opposite is
true. The benefit and the good of the
masses gets deferred and disregarded for
the sake of the politician's intent and
interest.
So what profit can you ever get from
such messengers, from such leaders who
always are the usual suspects of being
the ones who sold out the masses for
their own gain.
These are the words
of this is the rationale
behind
why it doesn't matter who the leader is
whether he's Jewish or not Jewish
religious or
not if he is
not acting living
breathing even in his role of leadership
then he's simply doing it for his own
interest and a politician's a politician
politician, he'll sell out the whole
country for the sake of his
chair. And as they
say, before the
elections, even the walls talk to you.
Why? Because before the elections,
there's so much advertising and
marketing. Every wall is full of
posters. Vote for me. Vote for me. The
the other guy is a bad guy. I'm the good
guy. Every wall has this stuff today.
It's text messages, emails, news,
everything. The walls are full of it.
Even the walls are talking to you,
telling you who to vote for. After the
elections
though, all of those promises that they
said, all of a sudden you see,
no, they didn't happen. So, you ask him
question. Hey, listen. Uh, Mr.
Politician, Mr. President, Mr. Official,
Mr. board member. Remember you said talk
to the wall before the election. The
walls are talking to you. After the
elections, talk to the
wall. And that's all due to the
fact
that leader from the perspective of
Torah is someone that's willing to
sacrifice the most. In fact, Kazal tell
us that if it wasn't for
Mosherenu Israel would still be in Egypt
as slaves until this day,
3,300 plus years
later. Why? Because no one was willing
to die for Isel until Mosherenu came.
In essence, what our sages teach us,
what is teaching us is that if you're
not willing to sacrifice for the sake of
the
masses, don't be a Jewish
leader because your
leadership will mislead people and
you'll end up in gay as a result.
Now
the is an
extraordinary a million dollars minimum
is what it's
worth. Certainly something you've never
heard and something I only learned
now in his introduction
to he says something that if he didn't
say it you couldn't even think of it.
He says, "Of
course, the level of prophecy that
Abrahamu had was no less than the later
prophets which were his
descendants, Isaiah,
Jeremiah,
Ezekiel. They all spoke to Hashem. They
they had messages of what's going to
happen in the future.
So of course Abraham was no less than
them. Yet Abrainu did not attain access
to this
prophecy. Why not? Because he did not
have
time to do the preparations that are
required to receive
prophecy. Because prophecy is not like
in uh people's imaginations where you
know you're sleeping and all of a sudden
God comes to you and talks to you or uh
you're walking around all of a sudden
you hear a
message. Yes. Yes. Who is it? Who is it?
It's your son. Why? Why you have that
voice? Oh, I had something in my mouth.
Oh, okay. Fine. People think sometimes
people are talking to them. Usually it's
either they have shadim in their in
their mind because of all the tuma or
because their kids are playing a joke on
them.
Ainu this is kodesim our
forefathers. Certainly he
had no less prophecy than his
descendants that were
prophets. But yet he did not attain it
because he did not have time to prepare
himself. You have to clean yourself. You
have to purify yourself. You have to
meditate. Do all types of things in
order to receive prophecy. This is also
one of the things that distinguished
Moshe Rabenu from everyone else. All of
the other prophets received their
prophecy while they were laying down,
while they were out. Whereas Moshe
Rabenu was able to walk around and speak
to Hashem, something unlike anybody else
before or after
him. But even Moshe Rabenu had to
prepare before Hashem would speak to
him. This is the reason why Hashem told
Mosherenu and he is the only one he told
this to that he should leave his
wife. Why? Because the preparation
that's required if you're married takes
longer than the preparation if you're
not
married because of the issues of purity
and impurity. And Hashem says, "I want
to talk to you all the time. Whenever I
feel like it, I want to talk to I don't
want to wait for you 2 days, 3 days for
you prepare. I want to talk to you
whenever. So, I can't have anything get
in the way. Leave your wife. Therefore,
you're always pure. I can talk to you
all the time. Like, we're
friends. If you read some of the things
that the midash, the
uh um
uh lots of talk about the relationship
between the conversations between Hashem
and Rabenu. It's literally like like
unbelievable
relationship. And this was due to the
sacrifice that Moshe Rabenu had to make
on our daily basis living with no
wife. Who can do
that by
choice? So
now my
beloved as great as he was and the
access to prophecy that he had he did
not attain it because he didn't have
time to prepare
himself why why didn't Abraham have time
I mean this is great things you could
elevate yourself you could you could do
all types of amazing things you could
learn. Elevate your Torah of what are
you doing that is so it's keeping you so
busy that you cannot talk to
Hashem says
theamu did not have time to prepare
himself to receive the prophecy. Why?
because he was always teaching and
serving his students and helping the
masses get closer to Hashem. In fact,
even
when himself came to speak to Abrainu,
in the middle of the conversation, in
the middle of the prophecy, Abrau says,
"One second, Hashem, I got three guests.
I have three
Arabs that came to me." He didn't know
they're angels. He thought they're three
Arabs.
They could have been kamas. They could
have been Palestine. They could have
been whoever. It can't be Palestine.
They weren't existent back then. And
today they don't exist. Just imaginary.
But nonetheless, could have been
somebody. Hashem. One second. I got to
go attend to these guests. You're
talking to Hashem, the King of
Kings. What are you doing? Somebody's in
the middle of a conversation with their
boss that gives them $15 an hour. They
won't walk
away. Here is talking to He says, "One
second, Hashem, I gotta go. I have three
people. I don't know. They're Arabs.
They may be idol worshippers that pray
to the dust on their feet. So, I got to
wash their feet to see if they allow me
wash to wash their feet, then they're
not idol worshippers. But if they don't
allow me to wash their feet, that means
that they're going to gather the dust on
their
feet that walked in the desert all day
and pray to it. So, they're idol
worshippers. So I got to leave you the
king of kings to go attend to them and
then give them some food. She the whole
bul of them. Each one gets his own
tongue. So I'll be back whenever I
finish. Five, six, seven, 10
hours that it's
greater to host the guest in order to
get them closer to Hashem and do kiru
than it is to speak to Akadoshu
himself. Where did Abrau learn that?
From hem himself.
from Hashem himself. How so? Hashem
obviously knew that he was going to talk
to but it was possible that is going to
go
leave to go uh attempt to guest like he
does every day. So what did Hashem do?
He took the sun out of its shell to stop
guests from coming.
So even Hashem Puskins the same way as
Abrainu that if guests come in the
middle of our conversation in the middle
of the prophecy is going to have to go.
So let me just stop the guest from
coming by putting out the sun so
nobody's coming and that way me and
Abraham can have
a that's where Abraham got it from.
Abra's wisdom was beyond comprehension
already at three years old. He knew more
than more than we could ever imagine in
the wildest dreams. Also another person
that the of as great as it
was is not compared to the of said that
was greater
thanu with all of his
greatness decided that in order for
him to serve Hashem he has to
go leave the
conversation every single day, leave the
books, leave the elevation of himself in
prophecy and go
teach the lowest level of
students who Hashem is. That's what the
says. He says he didn't have great
students that were
extraordinary. No, he's telling them
listen Hashem. Oh, you mean the idol?
Oh, not the idol. Not the idol. Hashem.
Who is Hashem? What's Hashem? Hashem,
the God. God, the one that created the
world. Not the idol. Idol. You made it.
You bought it from
Walmart. That's not God. That's nothing.
That's
garbage.
Hashem, he created the world. Okay. Say,
"Thank you, Hashem." Okay. Thank you,
Hashem. Buy a t-shirt from shop. Says,
"Thank you, Hashem." Okay, I'll buy a
t-shirt. Buy a cup, says thank you,
Hashem. Okay, I say I'll thank you,
Hashem. Okay, next day. All right, now
we're gonna learn
Bet. That's the language that Hashem
created the world with. He took these
letters and he created the world with
them.
Alf. No, not
al teaching them
al. He's dealing with people that are
full of immorality. Hey, Rabbi, listen.
Uh, I love you and everything, but I
need help. What happened? I can't stop
wasting seed. I can't stop cheating on
my wife. I can't stop stealing my
business. I can't stop driving on
Shabbat. That's who that's who Abrau is
is is dealing with every day. He's
dealing with idol worshippers, with
immoral people. He's dealing with people
that are clueless about Hashem.
That's who he's busy with and that's who
he decided to
leave prophecy behind
for. That's who he sacrificed everything
for. And therefore says
the Hashem in his
goodness says that it's not possible
for to lose
out a in attaining a higher level of
prophecy as a result of his sacrifice
for my children for my
creation. He is my servant.
So there's no need for preparations.
What does that
mean?
Saysu my child my son he doesn't need
preparations. I'm going to
him. All the other prophets have to
prepare to speak
to sometimes for a few days longer. All
types of meditations, readings,
elevations, all types of uh words of no
preparation right now. He just finished
making some shish kebab for a few Arabs
that came to him a few times. Okay, he
got this guy to
say this guy he said is that guy he's
still working
on he still has a little bit of the
sauce on his on his hands.
He's
telling make some cakes. We have some
guests right now still has the apron
around
him running the
house. Hashem says, "I'm going now. I'm
going." Yeah, but he didn't prepare. No
preparation for Abraham. Why? Abraham
cannot lose as a result of serving me.
as a result of his sacrifice for my
children, I'm going to Abraham to go and
tell him my plans with
Sodom because it cannot be that since
such a
sadik he's such a sadik that he would
lose out as a result of his
inability to elevate himself to learn
more
to pray even more to
have. He can't do it. Not because he's
playing basketball, not because he's
sleeping all day, not because he wants
to uh watch uh the uh stock
market. No, he can't do it because he's
constantly toiling in getting my
children to do chuva. He doesn't have a
minute to breathe. There's a new message
coming every second. There's a new
person. There's a new problem. There's
issues. There's a issues. There's uh all
types of nonstop people are coming to
him. That's the reason why he
can't. So, I'm making an exception for
Abrainu. No preparations needed. I'm
coming to you. I'm going to tell you
what I'm going to do with Sodom. I'm
going to tell you the whole plan. I'm
going to tell you the whole prophecy
without any necess necessity for you to
prepare because you sacrifice for my
children. You are my
beloved. We see here so many things.
First and
foremost, we see that anyone that makes
a
sacrifice for the sake of getting am
closer to Hashem, for the sake of
getting the world closer to Hashem,
closer to his Torah, will never lose out
as a result of
it. It's not possible. It's not
possible for them to lose out as a
result of real sacrifice.
Whether it's major sacrifice in
donations and support or time or
teaching or effort whatever it is that
you make as a major sacrifice for the
sake of akadosh's children you will
certainly never lose as a result
impossible even if it's a prophecy that
all other
prophets will require to prepare
themselves there's that have written
about
prophecy I believe it was A uh
um has in
his the entire road map of how to
attain and even prophecy what you need
to do at each level each level of
preparation literally instructions just
like you when you buy Legos they give
you okay step one take the Lego out step
two get these pieces step three take
these two pieces put together step
four has literally a
stepbystep process of how to attain
prophecy how to
attain when a person learns even the
first step they realize okay it's pretty
much for me to learn any of the other
steps I can't even do the first
step all of the prophets had to do
this no why he doesn't have time where
he doesn't have time tough luck no tough
luck he doesn't have time because he's
answering WhatsApp messages for broken
houses. He's answering WhatsApp messages
for people that are addicted to
pornography. He's answering, he's
dealing, he's calling, he's going to
people's houses. He's he's doing
whatever he possibly can with all of his
time to publicize my name. That's why he
doesn't have time.
You want me to judge that my son, my
beloved is going to lose as a result of
sacrificing his time, his effort, his
benefit, his good for the sake of my
children. No, opposite. He's my beloved.
He's a true
servant. So the first thing we see is
that you can never lose as a result of
sacrificing for the sake of Kiru, for
the sake of publicizing Hashem's name.
Number
two, we see who Hashem calls his
beloved, who Hashem
favors. Number three, we
see the clearest difference you could
ever
imagine that
distinguishes the Jewish leaders that
follow the Torah and everyone else. Jew
or Gentile leaders, doesn't make a
difference. that are following politics,
their own
opinion, popular
opinion, votes, likes, favoritism, all
of the different things and motivations
that drive people
money. Literally, you see
that the Torah
leaders and what motivates
them, what drives them to
lead is the polar
opposite of what political leaders use
to motivate themselves. where the
politicians have no inclination
whatsoever to sacrifice any part of
their benefit. The only reason they want
this position of power is for their own
benefit. If it's a political
position, it's the political benefits.
Whether it's the bribes or the special
deals for family and friends or the
recognition that also comes with
benefits or the renting a stadium on
taxpayers
money, all the different
benefits. If it's somebody that is not a
politician but rather a leader because
he wants to talk about politicians all
day, looks like he has a noble cause.
No, he simply has
a news station that charges a
subscription fee and makes over a hund00
million a year from
it from advertising, from
subscriptions, from donors, from
bribes, whatever he could get. That's
why he's in the news
constantly. It's not because he cares
about Am
is simply because he cares about his own
benefit. He's not going to sacrifice his
life. She's not going to sacrifice her
life for the sake of Israel.
No,
opposite. They'll
give they'll give people as a sacrifice
for their
benefit. That has been
and always will
be the
mentality in the politician and the
likes. And that is the main thing that
distinguishes
them from the Torah leaders and why the
Torah leaders their leadership succeeded
beyond their time.
Whereas the
others, the moment they're out of
people's sight, they're out of people's
mind, and they cannot get out of
people's memory fast enough. People
cannot wait to forget about
them. The only times you remember them
is if somebody else wants to make money
as a result of writing a book about
them. Nobody cares about their policies,
their
ideas. Nobody cares about
them. And there's endless amount of
stories of showing the significant
difference in
how the Torah leaders sacrificed their
life day and
night is and you compare it
to different leaders
who there was one time a the time of
the Russians
tar the queen, his
wife arrived at a destination with her
entourage of servants and people and
soldiers and she saw that it
rained. So there was mud and she didn't
want to dirty her
shoes. So she said, "Get some
rugs." They said, "There's no rugs. We
don't have carpets or rugs." Said,
"Okay, get soldiers."
got a bunch of soldiers and she had all
of the soldiers lay on the floor so she
could walk on top of
them in order not to dirty her shoes
with mud. She had no problems that they
dirty their face with mud, their shirts
with mud, that they're embarrassed and
shamed that she's walking on them. No
qualms about
that because our
shoes are of higher importance to her.
than the
masses. And ultimately when you see
what told
the who thought that a position of
leadership will give them too much
honor, he says it's not honor. I'm
giving you
servitude. The moment you become a true
Jewish leader where you're going to do
what's required, you're going to
sacrifice everything. That means that
you're going to make the ultimate
sacrifice which is your freedom. You no
longer have freedom. Why? Your time does
not belong to you anymore. Somebody
needs your attention. Somebody needs
your wisdom. Somebody needs your uh
answer constantly.
This is why there's literally endless
books of stories
of from all the generations. And anyone
that has ever written a book about one
of the would tell you what he wrote
about this does not even scratch the
surface of all the stories that are
really
available. If you compare that to the
bios
about different politicians and leaders
and secular
people, usually everything that's in a
book is everything that there is to
say. And
sometimes, often, more often than not,
what they said in the book is really
more than what really happened.
The difference
is
theim they made the ultimate
sacrifice which is their freedom. The
moment you become a Jewish leader that's
following in the footsteps of the Jewish
leaders that we've had throughout our
history since since the
beginning, you have decided that your
time is no longer yours. You have
decided that your freedom is no longer
yours.
you are
now a public
benefactor. On the other
hand, the other types of leaders that
not following the Torah's
ways, the ultimate gain that they
have is freedom to do whatever they
want. So while the Torah leader loses
his freedom as a sacrifice for the
people, the other types of
leaders, the more powerful they
are, the more they have the freedom to
do whatever they want, even if that
means that it'll hurt the masses that
they're supposed to
lead. This is the reason
why and all of Israel have repeated
generation after
generation. If you want to go in the
right direction, you
follow because they are the Torah. They
are the truth of the Torah. They'll tell
you right or left. As Raba said, they
are they are's wings. Is the dove.
They're the wings. Without the wings, we
crash and fall.
So if you want to pick a leader, pick
somebody that
has pick one
of because if you pick anybody else,
whether they're rich or popular or they
have a big YouTube channel or they uh
they're connected or whatever they are,
it'll be a complete and utter failure.
Doesn't matter how much you donate to
them or bribe them or talk to them or
promise them or do for them. It doesn't
make a difference.
So long as their interest is
themselves, that means that they're
willing to sell you for their own
interest. That means they're willing to
cheat you, lie to you, stab you in the
back, be a
hypocrite for their own
benefit in comparison to the Torah
leaders that these things don't exist.
Why? Because their whole mo
is sacrifice even their freedom for the
sake of the benefit of the masses.
The more we
gain closeness, knowledge to the great
Torah scholars, the more we can
understand what freedom really is and
what sacrifice they
make and the more we can understand how
much we need to do in order to support
them, in order to help
them because all of it is for our own
benefit. The more we spend our resources
and efforts supporting
others. It's all to our
detriment. This is the reason
why said what he said and why is
continue to say it
today. Thank you very much for learning
with me. May Hashem bless each and every
single one of you to have the to share
this and all of the other
lectures with your community with people
that you're going to get them to
understand the
difference between Torah and everything
else especially when it comes to
leadership. Anyone that wants to support
whether it's the food campaign to help
Torah scholars and poor families in
Israel could donate on the website and
the campaign that we have. You want to
help us with all the other amazing
things that the organization is doing,
you could donate on the
website.org. And of course, you could
always get some of the free books to
distribute in your community, the free
aayatar posters, and also my all-time
favorites, the kiru cards that have
tikun on them and the a rabbi on the
other side that are beautifully
presented and literally the uh the
greatest investments in the world
because each box can get you at least a
few ballet chuva.
So in so many words, it's one of those
things where if a person had the time
and the ability, they would literally
make this something they do every single
day because it it's that effective. And
there's not a day that goes by that I
don't get a report from the uh different
uh softwares that we have that tells me
how many people scanned it and how many
people sent messages and how many people
watched and so on. And every day it's
double digits, triple digits or more
numbers that come specifically from
those cards. We're not talking about
just all the channels and the videos and
everything. I'm talking about
specifically from those cards every
day. So a wise
person will take this to heart. Thank
you again
to we'll have
aesh and full of success. And all
parents, make sure to pray for your kids
tonight. Uh if you haven't already,
right before the began, it's still a
time to pray for your kids. Uh the
