near as much uh as uh we want and hope for it to we need to do a lot more marketing but needless to say the ones that are watching it uh are uh changing their lives uh you you'd be surprised that uh the the enormous amount of changes people are taking on themselves uh after watching this film quite frankly it's more than anything else I've seen before after a uh short while uh usually people want to change people want to improve but literally deciding to change the uh after people watch this uh literally it's a uh lifechanger literally a life changer for many people anyone that hasn't watched it uh or has forgotten to share it or has forgotten to contribute to it or simply has been sleeping under a rock is welcome to go to watch it on our YouTube channel uh subscribe over there it's for free or you can go to the website Gom uh.org uh and uh watch over there all right so with that being said there's quite a bit of other things we can talk about but there's so much material so much beautiful things that we want to talk about from the Torah that certainly we don't want to uh lose track so um tonight also as a side note uh where uh you know we started this Tik Tock channel uh I don't know a couple of months ago and uh tonight for the first time we're actually trying out uh a Tik Tock live uh I know that uh it's a completely different audience that we're reaching over there and we're looking forward to seeing the feedback from there uh if the people that are watching are the uh Black Hebrew Israelites or the Arabs or the other types of terrorists out there where they're spiritual or otherwise uh certainly it's better off that they simply log out uh this is not going to be a lecture for you uh it won't help you because we're talking about truth and Torah so that certainly is not uh something you guys can relate to uh so uh with uh with that being said we um uh everyone that uh knows my story knows the uh you know the the background before becoming a rabbi before starting you know teaching Torah for nearly the last decade now uh I spent uh two decades almost 20 years uh on Wall Street running a business uh that had different parts whether it was a hedge fund an insurance agency a brokerage firm uh lots of employees lots of uh uh opportunities lots of uh Investments and uh we had quite a bit of experience in the business world and uh as I've told you guys many times I've been young and I've been older and I've never found a single person that I could certainly tell you this is a trustworthy person you can rely on you can take that uh guy uh you know and and pretty much whatever they say that's what they're going to do in business why because people tend to uh lose themselves when it comes to business people people tend to forget about God when it comes to business they forget about ethics when it comes to business and many times uh it's uh it's not necessarily uh the plan uh but it ends up happening that way they overpromise and underd deliver they tell you they'll finish the work in a week and six months later they still haven't even done half the job they tell you that they'll be able to produce this type of results but a year or later they tell you that they simply don't even know what you're talking about and uh you know people simply do a lot of different things when it comes to uh uh when it comes to uh business that uh are horrible and uh one of the things that uh we want to do is to learn one of the ingredients that uh the Torah provides to us that uh can certainly improve not only your business but your experience in business I see that our Tik Tock just went offline I don't have the patience to play with it it now but we'll figure it out perhaps maybe next week either way the um the truth is when it comes to business if a person follows the Torah business becomes pleasurable business becomes successful regardless of the dollar amounts business becomes a very different animal than what it is today and when it comes to business people spend most of their lives uh conducting some form of business or another whether they are a entrepreneur that has a new idea every other day or they're an employee that's a uh you know one of these long-standing employees from the previous generation that's been with the same company for 30 years or they're one of the current Generations uh people that uh uh jumps around every one or two years just so can get another raise and they go to a different company or they are one of these people that changes profession Al together every so often simply because they figure that the grass is greener on the other side so the experience in business uh for most people has very very high highs and very very low lows and very few people actually experience business in a fashion where the Torah tells us this is actually supposed to be another way for you to serve hem another way uh for you to show your true colors and your true servitude of God uh but uh when people look at business as something completely separate just like the governments look at the uh uh you know the uh the the state and the religion as two different things uh unfortunately some people look at it the same way they think that business is is separate from religion and quite frankly it's the exact opposite uh the shabat says that the when a person uh dies and leaves this world in their goes up to sh uh to face the judgment to face the bed uh over there the their asked questions they're shown their lives uh every single thing they've ever thought every single thing they've ever said every single thing they've ever done is shown to them uh in a film with 4K or 50k resolution in such a fashion where they're actually experiencing the whole thing all over again but obviously very very different pace as far as time because the concept of time is very different over there needless to say during this time a person is shown everything they've done everything they've taught Every Lie every truth everything and they're asked questions and the says the first question that a person is asked when they go up to heaven is not whether you uh you know gave a lot OFA or whether you observe Shabbat or whether you uh you know were loyal to your wife or whether you loved God no the main thing that a person needs to understand is that the first question they're going to be asked in sh first one is did you conduct your business dealings with did you conduct your business dealings with faith in God what does it mean did you conduct business with faith in go uh with faith in God I mean did you does that mean did you have faith that God will help you to a certain extent but not really uh does that mean that uh did you think about God and and pretty much hope that every business deal works out uh to a certain extent but not really the truth is that when it comes to that particular question it's an all-encompassing question it's a mindset question is how did you conduct your business was God the top priority in your decision making process when you were conducting business when you were an employee did you use your boss's money that he was paying you in order to create a new business for yourself because if you did you actually are inherited a curse from a toat called ar ar means cursed cursed is a person that does business in a uh uh um in an unethical manner this is considered unethical Behavior yeah but how will I ever be able to start a business uh you know while working for somebody else well you need to do it at a different time of your life you can't do it with your boss's money or boss's time needless to say many people do just that you look at the business that a person does and you say wait when you overcharged our client did you have God in mind did you think that God was giving you this this uh naive person to take advantage of uh you thought that was a gift or you just thought that God didn't care or he just didn't pay attention he was busy with somebody else what did you actually think when you were stealing from that guy when you were charging him obnoxious in interest on the loan you just gave him that's simply predatory that he's simply going to be uh in debt to you for the rest of his life unless he wins the lot of 15 times what did you exactly think when you conducted that business transaction what did you think whe about God when you conducted that business transaction where you sold somebody one thing that he thought it was and you said it was or at least implied that it was but in reality knew it quite it wasn't what were you thinking were you thinking that maybe God was busy somewhere else and just simply didn't know that this was happening didn't check didn't care you're not gonna uh uh uh you're not going to get punished for it what did you think and that's the thing when a person thinks about God as much as they're supposed to the way that they conduct business transforms drastically because their decision-making process is not priority number one prophets priority number two prophets priority number three prophets and whoever has to uh uh be stepped on and destroyed in the process of get getting to Priority 1 2 and three uh so be it because business is business it transforms from that to what does God think about this job this career this client this transaction this product this everything what does God think about it is it allowed not allowed is it ethical unethical is it allowed but not recommended or is it simply forbidden altogether what does God think about all of this oh I don't know so should I still do it until I find out uh and find out later and then fix whatever or should I simply not do it and give up the potential profits uh until I find out whether I'm even allowed to do it these types of thoughts are part of the transformation of somebody that has inem when they're conducting business so one of the places that we learn uh uh about the uh the whole transformative mindset uh when it comes to business is actually our weekly mik now mik is a very interesting par of course the par has an extraordinary story of what happens to YF after being in prison in a dungeon in a hole in the ground full of Filth and disgusting people uh and he is literally surrounded by all types of criminals and does have does does not have a single clue of when he's going to leave he's been there for 12 years but one day the Torah tells us at the beginning of the par has a dream and that dream is a very very complex dream he asks his necromancers his wise men all of the people that work for his kingdom to come interpret the dream for him and of course no one can God makes sure that no one can and anyone that tries simply shows that they simply cannot come up with a real solution par is looking for a solution and there uh one of the people that was in prison with uh with YF tells that he met this this Jew uh when he was in prison that was able to actually interpret his dream and the Torah tells us that they hurried YF out of this B out of the whole now the first question that we have is why does why did they hurry him out now you can easily say that they hurried him out because the King was waiting for him the par was waiting for him now that would be nice only that they hurried him out of the hole and then they gave him a haircut and then they shaved him and then they measured clothes and gave him precise types of clothes so that whole process took a lot of time so it was a really a hurry to get to faroh then why'd you do all the other stuff so obviously the Torah has a extra word here if you will something that seems unnecessary why does God decide to put that they hurried him out of this bull out of this hole I mean he's been there for 12 years what's the difference if he walks or he runs why do I even need to know whether they walked or they run what is the what is the difference here between them now of course after this we see that YF is gifted with prophecy and is able to interpret the dream of Po after that and everyone else there sees that there is no person out there in the world that is as wise as YF and he decides to make him visoy meaning that from one moment to another in the morning he was a prisoner with a lifelong sentence and in the afternoon he became second in command to the biggest most powerful and successful civilization on Earth at the time the Egyptians so literally this is much more than just simply winning the lotto because winning the lotto May increase your bank account but a bunch of people may still hate you a bunch of people may still care less about you and quite frankly a bunch of people may simply not even know who you that you exist here he becomes the most recognizable person on planet Earth and gets all types of of new nicknames where they say that they called them now why do I need to know that they called him a now is a the the the basic translation that the uh uh the commentary says that was that he was the a he was the father of the king what father of the king he was so powerful he was so smart he was such a brilliant being that it's people viewed him as if he's the father of par already this is something special but of course we know that a today means a Torah scholar that learns tah as his profession why do I need to know this nickname and needless to say what's the connection between the a of the time of YF to the of today now later on in the parasha we see that the brothers the Brothers the tribes come to uh uh to to Egypt but only after the famine Begins the famine that yadik predicted from the dream of par and this famine has caused a disaster across the board so much so that uh had the Egyptians not followed uh every bit of instructions that YF gave them not not only during the time that he met pero initially but throughout the entire process because he was in charge of the whole thing the entire world would have simply ceased to exist everyone would have died not just the Egyptians but literally the entire world because the famine was worldwide AEM wanted to make sure that this particular event is memorable forever and there are many archaeological findings from that time that have confirmed this exact event in fact there are even archaeological findings that have this uh other name that named uh y means someone that is uh able is the the um dealings of Heaven are revealed to them someone that can see the supernal and of course the famine that affected everyone people knew about it at least they heard about it and some people prepared but yet hasem made sure that all of their preparation were to no avail their storage houses all went bad they lost everything they tried to store and the only one that was successful in not only storing an exorbitant amount of food in preparation for the world white famine but also literally preserve it altogether was yadik so much so that the Torah says that they stopped counting it that's how immeasurable it was so when the Egyptians came came to yadik and they told him okay we give us some food yadik gave them conditions they didn't like the conditions they ran to par they said no come on what's going on here we're starving par says to them go to yourself and do whatever he says what did he say to them that was so unbearable to them I mean they're starving they're hungry what's the problem later on the brothers show up the brothers show up and everyone knows the story of how YF tests them he tests them to [Music] see have they done chuva do they feel bad for selling him would they do it again to their other brother Benyamin and he test them and in the process there's a money there's business dealings here where he puts the money that they paid for the food back in their bags and after they come back they see it and they said what did God do to us I mean these are the 12 tribes these are the most righteous people on planet Earth what do you mean what did God do to you what kind of question is this I mean obviously you got a bunch of money you should say I don't know someone gets goes buys $100,000 worth of merchandise gives the guy the money gets the merchandise gets back to his Factory gets back to his City gets back to his country opens up the trailer sees that not only does he have the merchandise but he has all of the money that he paid your average person does not say what did God do to me in a negative way but rather the opposite ah oh thank God that it look at this God gave me a gift wonderful amazing look not only did I get the product but I also got the money hopefully this guy doesn't realize that I got both hopefully he forgets and he's counting the minutes and counting the hours to make sure that the phone never rings again he may even change his phone number just to make sure that if this guy calls he doesn't reach him because why would you want to lose out on all this money that you just got so the average person today would look at it in a very favorable way the 12 tribes a horrendous way and in fact they're rebuked for for it but not for the reason that we think then we see that when they're sent back to Egypt yov ainu yov ainu shows small taste of his business acument and he tells them not only do you need to bring back the money that the extra money that you found to show Integrity but also take double portion of money in your hand in case the price of the food has doubled now this may not seem like a big deal to the average person that's reading it but the reality is that the Hashem decided that this is necessary for us to know not only the knowledge that Yu had about how markets Chang change in such a rapid way but more importantly than anything else to show that this too can happen and has happened in the world and a person always has to be prepared for it and not always try to fight against the wall sometimes when push comes to shove you have to already be prepared ahead of time to pay more for what you want so yobu shows his business Acumen shows his understanding of the the Commerce in the world and from here going to start working backwards work backwards to try to have a good understanding of how this all can affect our lives and in fact how this all can affect our eternities now Yakov ainu tells his sons take a double portion in your hand in case the price of of grain has doubled in case it Rose and the money that that was returned in the uh opening of your baggage return it in your hand perhaps it was left there due to an oversight by the person in charge right away yov tells his sons that we do not take advantage of other people's mistakes the opposite of the mentality of people today in fact one of the main things that people look for today and even make a business out of is mistakes that other people make there are certain people that look for mistakes that people make in selling their product where there is some type of bug or simply a clerical error where they list a product that's worth let's say $1,000 but they forgot a couple of zeros or they simply put the dot in the wrong place and a product is sold for $10 in uh dumb markets like a like America the companies many times actually honor the price this is not a really a good idea but nonetheless this is something that people do uh in other countries this is usually not practiced simply they say we made a mistake we're not selling you a $1,000 product for $10 uh simply we're not going to lose money but of course the consumers all of a sudden develop an interest in this product they don't actually need just because of the price they figured they get resell it and there are many people out there that look for these types of flaws in the system are you allowed to take advantage of these these systems are you allowed to do all of these things well as far as the if a uh Jew makes a mistake you have to tell him if a gentile makes a mistake but it's not due to your uh uh misleading him misinforming him you didn't do anything he simply made a mistake you are allowed to take advantage of that mistake but if you want to sanctify God's name you should tell him that he's making a mistake and actually help him out because that certainly will create a lot more merits for you and a lot more profits for you in the long run than simply benefiting out of some poor guy's mistake here Yakov is teaching us business ethics 101 don't look for other people's flaws other people's mistakes why in the end God will give you what is yours you don't need to cut corners and you don't need to look for Corners that have been cut if a person has has confidence in God in God they're not going to necessarily look for these freebies everywhere you just have to look at things as based on this is what I need this is how you know I need to get it this way you don't need to cut Corners you don't need to cheat people you don't need to steal somebody else's customers and Target them you could simply do what you do be as good as possible as far as your particular service is concerned and of course always understand that it is God that decides what you're going to get not necessarily your uh your ability to find flaws in other people's systems now whether it's allowed or not allowed is not necessarily always an indication of whether you should do it or should not do it so a person is a learns this from yov where Yu says yes you got all each one of you got this extra $100,000 in your pockets right right now and with the billions of dollars that are going through the Egyptian system right now from all over the world because the whole world is buying food from them certainly they're not going to recognize that uh they uh gave you this uh money and of course even if they did recognize from the past so much time has passed since you've been there uh uh since you've been there they probably have already forgotten but despite that go there and have double the amount of money for the purchase in your bag but the money that they made a mistake that was an potential oversight that hold in your hand meaning right away tell them about the mistake don't have their uh them influence you of whether you're going to do the right thing or not see here yobu shows that the ethics that a person has is something that is not only a good thing to have but is also something that is necessary to have if one wants to have confidence in God because so long as a person believes that they need to cheat they need to lie they need to beat the system they need to sell some type of off product and pretend that it's on they need to be in some odd industry that is legal but in reality should be illegal they are in a business that is unethical but most people don't realize it because most the people that they know are simply victims of their unethical business such as the cash advance business such as all of these money lending businesses that are uh just destroying people with their High interest unlike traditional banks that are charging four five 6 7 8% normal rates these thieves from the M from the cash advance business whether they're Jews or not are literally destroying people's lives and eventually are going to destroy the economy just like they have in previous generations before the Holocaust and other times and we've spoken about this many times anyone that knows somebody in that business do everything you possibly can to get them to watch the lectures that we've done about the cash advanced business and if you are in that business if you hope to have a remote chance of going to heaven you have to leave the business immediately why because you're simply murdering people as far as financials are concerned you're an unethical business eventually the most of the people in the industry will end up going into jail but that's a different story needless to say there are many other businesses like it not necessarily any lending business but just simply unethical businesses if a person wants to have any real any type of confidence in God that means that they have to have a real relationship with God a relationship that's based on truth because that's the signature of God Emit and if a person is lying to themselves thinking oh yeah I love God cuz I give stock I charity I love God because I pray I love God because I observe Shabbat I love God because I do all these wonderful things but you're a cheater in business that means that the first question that you will be asked in in heaven after you die you've already failed a test you've already failed the test you failed already on on the first question meaning no one's going to care about all the other things that you've done because you've already failed on question number one that you're going to get in sham so a person that wants to develop a real relationship with God has to understand that ethics is a must in business ethics is a must in business so if a person has real confidence in God ethics comes natural if we back up and we see that the brothers got this this money and instead of being happy about it like the vast majority of society would be today and any other day throughout history if they're not glued to God if they're not glued to the tah they're happy they just got a they just found a bunch of money they did what they were supposed to they paid the other guy made a mistake but instead of being happy about it they're miserable about it in fact it creates a major fear in them the Torah says they were afraid after they found this afraid we could understand because perhaps they think that maybe this was a mistake but the visoy that was tough on them is not going to believe them as a mistake maybe he's going to blame them for some type of conspiracy some type of theft that you could explain in that way but the question is why did they ask what is this that God did to us rebukes the the tribes rebukes the brothers over this statement of course if it wasn't written we wouldn't be allowed to say it these were allim these were righteous people but at the moment of truth in this particular test there was so uh uh uh bent out of shape out of what just happened that they couldn't do the whole self accounting of what happened where they just didn't understand what is this that God did to us that we have all this money like why do we need this problem now we have to go back give him the money hope that he believes us what did God give give us this for and thear says brings a verse from SCH the stupidity of man will cause him to sin and then he will be upset at Hashem for punishing him meaning a person will make a sin purely out of his foolishness not realizing that or caring or acknowledging that God will have to punish him for that sin because this is the foundation of the Torah this is the foundation of the world there is a rewards and Punishment system where anyone that does not believe in the not only the rewards and punishment but even the details that the sages teach us and the Torah teach us about reward and punishment is considered an which the 9A says a person that is an aorus has no share of the world to come has no share of the world to come one way of being an aoos is not believing in reward and Punishment if you you believe that gome is a maximum sentence of only 12 months under all conditions you are an aicos stupid and an aose because obviously the whole thing of 12 months being a maximum sentence doesn't make any sense whatsoever that's why the ramban in his a uh um in his a shag nearly 750 years ago writes that anyone that says that the maximum sentence in Gom is 12 months and that's actually what it's that's what it means it's maximum 12 months no matter what you do is a heretic that will go to Gom forever just for that even forget about all the other sins that they've made just for that why because they've turned God into an evil God they've turned God into an illogical God they've turned God into something that doesn't make any sense how could it be that a person that murders one person will get the same sentence as a person that murders a thousand how could it be that a person that makes one sin is going to get 12 months in gay and a person that makes a thousand sins makes 12 months in gay how could it be that means that it doesn't make any sense to do Chua anymore because as soon as you make one sin you're going again them anyway so whether you make one or a th000 or 50,000 or 50 million you're going for one year anyway so what's the point might as well just keep sinning and you going say yeah no but maybe the sentence is longer for the guy that makes a thousand versus is the one that makes uh one or makes 10,000 how much longer a a year maximum a year maximum so the reality is that what's the point of doing chuva and even more so you have a situation where certain people are making bigger sins than others why would they get the same type of Gom and on and on and we've discussed this and we've elaborated on this but the point being is is that a person that does not believe in the reward and punishment is considered an AOS so here we see that the 12 the the tribes 10 out of them are questioning the system why did God do this to us not Shalom questioning God in a say of believing him or not believing him but saying well what's going on here why do we get this and says this is pure foolishness coming out of these righteous people why because they're so emotional about what's going on right now that they forgot the sin that they made of selling their brother YF their foolishness their mistaken decision to sell their brother even though they thought they were doing the right thing was obviously a mistake that they themselves already knew as a mistake but because they were so emotional about this whole transaction of what was happening they forgot about their wrongdoing and now they're upset at God for punishing them this is what happens many times in the business world where you see that God blesses a person with success after doing the right thing after doing the right thing in their business the right thing with their success in business but then one day it's lost and I say oh why did God do this to me I did so many good things did you did you really do good things well yeah I did a lot of wonderful things well did you do the same wonderful things that you did that gave you the blessing well it was good what's the difference well makes all the difference because what happens is many times and I've seen this with my own eyes where you see people for example they donate to our organization they try to help us with all the different things that we do and it wasn't once twice 10 times or 100 times where you see that God gives these people success different people in different ways but quite a few times I've seen people get extraordinary amount of success it was one story where there was a person that uh decided that uh they're going to take on giving a uh a portion of their income significant portion of their income their you know to to our organization of course everything is relatively speaking some people give $50 some people give 5,000 some people give more or less but the point being is that hasem cares about the percentage and the effort not necessarily the dollar amount because he's the one that decides what the dollar amount is but this particular person literally gave a significant portion of their income and as you would have it Hashem decided this person is going to have success unlike anything they've seen before and in fact unlike anything that most people see where in a matter of one year their business business went up like 500% where they went from making I don't know a few hundred, to making millions now of course this is wonderful they continued giving but again they decided that okay since I have more maybe I could also give to this place too and that place too and what ended up happening is that after they did that for a couple of years all of a sudden one day they wake up and several things go wrong in the business products merchandise and so on customers and literally what would seem like overnight the business goes down like 80 or 90% to almost what it was when they first started giving they saying I I don't know why is God doing this to me I gave so much did you did you and again I don't go into people's financials I don't uh it's not my business if somebody tells me something obviously I tried to help them but there was never a time where somebody would ask me these questions where the answer wasn't as clear as they that obviously this is their wrongdoing why you made certain donations to help do chv to publicize to with some A system that works a company that works an ethical business an ethical organization ethical people God gave you a blessing he quadrupled your business he increased your business tenfold you then took that extra money and instead of continuing to invest in the very same business that God wants you to invest in want you with to support and is the only reason why you got this blessing what did you do you started becoming some philanthroper started giving to that one and this one and that one and this one and God said oh I have a bunch of people to do that to give to all those others I have a bunch of people oh so if that's what you're going to do okay so let me just give that money to somebody else oh why did God do this to me because you didn't keep your end of the bargain oh how am I supposed to know well now you know and the problem is that when you tell this to people they don't believe you they think nah come on there must be something else no I think it's just the industry no I think it's just the customer you know they just got to a divorce and I think it's because of this and they try to rationalize things no no no you don't understand you succeeded because God decided to Su that you're going to succeed you failed because the very same God that gave you success decided you'll fail why you did something wrong he gave you money for a certain reason there was a uh uh agreement between you you didn't keep your bargain you didn't keep your bargain the stupidity of men will cause a person to sin and then they get upset at hm for punishing them person that does business sees that their business is doing well sees that they're succeeding be even more careful after success than you are when you first started there are many people that have made a Fortune of all types of stupid things in the last several years whether it be these uh Bitcoins and their uh the other uh cryptocurrency or it's YouTube and all of a sudden these 15-year-old Game Boy uh uh gamers are be influencers and they have millions of followers and these followers are actually giving them money and these people are literally making millions of dollars off of nothing now listen God wants to give it to them what's the problem the problem is that says if a person that loves money will never have enough money if you didn't have ethics before you got money certainly you're not going to have it after you got money and in fact it will deteriorate and what ends up happening is that these people get blessed with a fortune this 20y old 25y old 35y old 40y old all of a sudden sees a huge Fortune of money coming their way in something that they that uh that they're doing whether they're selling masks for for for Corona virus or they're selling uh video games or they're simply making people watch them play video games whatever nonsense that people do God decides to bless it and what ends up happening is it's not enough for them them now that they have a following now that they have an audience they want to do something big they want to join the Forbes 500 but they it's not enough for them to continue growing in a reasonable fashion no they want to do something big so what do they do they get into some type of scam they start promoting some type of off product off thing some type of Ponzi scheme and many times they end up hurting a lot of people in the process as is happening right now many of of these people that have made a fortune on the internet and all types of social media so-called personalities are literally conning the very same people that gave them the money that made them successful of course spitting at Hashem in the face in the process but many of these people care less about Hashem they care about money and instead of being grateful to their audience being honest to Their audience being legit to Their audience what do they do they end up taking advantage of their naive audience and literally putting them into all types of Ponzi schemes all types of uh flawed Investments all types of different things why because they want to make a big score and unfortunately since much of this stuff is unregulated much of this stuff is uh unaudited much of this stuff goes under the radar and even if it's in the cover of the news no one cares enough in order to uh to do much about it this is going to continue until it becomes even more massive the fraud the amount of frauds that are out there today in cryptocurrencies and and things that are like it uh is literally uh unbelievable the amount of fraud that's available on the internet all types of fraudulent products and fraudulent services and fraudulent uh uh gurus and so on it's literally you have have to pray five times a day not three times a day five times a day just to just to literally Merit having somebody honest to deal with in the business World these days why because everywhere you look there's some form of dishonesty there's some form of of uh uh corruption and people would assume yeah but if if they already have a lot of money why would they cheat because it's it's not it has nothing to do with having a lot of money or not just because somebody has a lot of money doesn't mean they stop cheating cheting once they're a cheater they're a cheater once they're a liar they're a liar now of course a person that has has confidence in hem cheating lying it's not part of their vocabulary it's not part of their day-to-day why I know that whatever is mine God will give me I don't need to cheat whatever he wants to give me I'll give me I don't need to cheat and in fact me cheating is going to guarantee that whatever I do get that comes from God anyway is not going to have the blessing and therefore is going to come with curses and therefore will be taken away and therefore is going to create a lot of problems problems that are going to literally turn the person's life into a cursed life so now when a person goes into the next part backwards sees that par is telling his people the Egyptians what are you crying to me for go to ysep and do what he says he's the man in power what did YF do why didn't they want to listen to YF because when they came to yourf looking to buy food YF said listen I'm happy to sell you food but first you have to get circumcised circumcised how could this be an ethical request they're not Jewish these people people why would they need to be circumcised just so they could buy food so they could live this seems like an unethical move by the righteous YF no you see these Egyptians hated Yousef hated the forefathers abam and all of their children the uh the the tribes hated holiness so much so that they would not even eat in the same table as them later on when the uh Brothers come to yep's house you see that the Torah says that the Egyptian Servants of ysf sat at a different table why even though they were yep's servants they hated his brothers they didn't know they were his brothers yet but they knew they were Hebrews and they hated them so much that we can't even eat next to them why what they eat is what we we worship because these Egyptians were like the modern day Hindus that pray to a cow and swim in its urine and washed their house in its urine as part of their idolatry the Egyptians did the same exact thing they prayed and turned the uh uh uh the animals into their gods while the Jews ate them so they hated them he says listen you hate my people and you think that you're better than my people that's fine so go get what you want to get from your people why do you have to get it for me why would I help someone that's an enemy gain more power gain more strength but if you want to make it on an even playing field where you won't have any more reasons to insult us because you call us deformed because we have a circumcision so you get circumcised and therefore we'll be in the same playing field there's no reason for you to make fun of us anymore there's no reason for us for you to mock us anymore and in fact this will you this will be also a form of you recognizing the one and only Creator now YF exercised this power as a form of his confidence in God why because he knew that God is the one that gave it to him and he wanted everybody else to also know that he knows that God gave it to him and it's not his wisdom because if he would have just said listen sell to everybody let's just make as much money as POS as possible let's just make a killing out of this then everyone would forget about the original prophecy forget about the original Divine in uh uh inspiration that he got they say oh the guy's smart said no no no no remember when I told you guys that it's not me that's interpreting the dreams it's God that's giving it to me well it's God that's giving it to me right now and because of that I'm telling you to get circumcised yadik is called an perhaps this is a I uson to telling us who are the real kings in the world people today admire successful people famous people whether they're famous basketball players all types of other forms of celebrities famous Executives successful Executives many times people don't even know who the person is but as soon as they hear that this person is successful that this person had a certain amount of success they start admiring this person and taking every every one of their words as if it's Mount and in fact this is the sleeping ground for all the thieves and the crooks one of the primary ways that they uh take advantage of the public is by portraying themselves as successful because people are stupid enough to believe them that they worked for the government that they did business dealings with major organizations that they're friends with all types of people and people will literally befriend them and even do business with them just because of the words that they say give them a Fortune of money for all types of things and then end up crying about the fact that this person cheated them well if you would not do business with people just simply because they say they're successful and you would actually do business with people because of what they have to offer and an actual real track record and a real uh uh relationship of some kind then you wouldn't get get uh this type of uh uh uh outcome but unfortunately when a person is so shallow that they're only going to marry somebody because they look a certain way or have a certain type of profession or they uh have a certain type of possessions or they're only going to befriend the person person because they're part of a certain family or they're part of a certain Community or they're only going to uh uh you know do business with somebody because they have uh a certain type of uh customer base or a certain type of uh office in a certain location these are shallow Behavior traits these are horrible decisionmaking factors when a person has be they're not looking for what kind of suit a person is wearing in order to make their determination they're not looking for where this person's office is in order for me to determine whether they are good to do business with or not they're not looking for uh all of these types of things that are superficial and shallow the primary thing that a person is looking for is does this person have or not do they have fear of Heaven Or Not A of course they need to be able to conduct business but do they have any fear of heaven or not now of course there are many times that you need to do business with somebody that is not even religious so obviously they do not have any fear of heaven but even the people that are not religious even the people that do not have the same beliefs that you do can still portray a certain level of respect for the Torah for Hashem that is enough for you to make a more educated decision if it's that's the only choice that you have but if a person portrays complete carelessness about God and in fact is even insulting and mocking they're a self-proclaimed atheist or one of these uh enemies of God the LGBT obviously these are people you have to run away from but the point being is is that we have here a society that admires the most shallow things that also makes Society very vulnerable to scams and Scandals and wait till you'll see how many Ponzi schemes and Scandals unfold in the coming year or two once the market collapses because when the tide returns that's when you know who has a who is wearing clothes or not and you'll see many many times many times the uh the biggest scandals in the world end up being shown at the end of a bull market at the end of the uh the the uprise and there's going to be a huge amount much more than what we've seen so far already before the whole crisis there's already a uh huge amount of scandals just now in the in the currency uh the cryptocurrency industry the second biggest exchange uh just just showed that it's completely a Ponzi scheme corrupt the guy was supposedly worth $35 billion last year today it's obviously a negative net worth and he's on his way to jail and this is this was a obviously if he was worth $35 billion the supposable exchange was worth much more these types of scandals are small in comparison to what's coming because unethical El legal and corrupt business practices have become standard in a society that's absent of toah when a person does not have confidence in hasem inem they have no reason and needless to say no strength to be ethical to avoid corruption to avoid cheating and that's why Hashem gives us an illusion here not illusion but illusion that a in those days was referring to someone that was in a position of power but it's the same thing today that that's making a, a month $2,000 a month between him and his wife that learns tah all day that of he's the king in the eyes of God that's the king why because he has the utmost inem that he will be provided for even though financially speaking it doesn't make any sense how can you go study Tor all day have five six seven 8 nine kids at home 10 kids at home the salary from the K is if it's a standard K could be as little as $4 $500 for the whole month if it's our it's more but we don't have 50,000 people you know one day but needless to say you can't live you can't support 10 12 15 people with this 500 bucks oh yeah no no the wife goes to work sometimes yeah the wife goes to work and sometimes you look at it and yeah the wife maybe brings in another let's say couple ,000 a month how are you going to provide for 12 people with a couple thousand a month logically makes no sense rationally makes no sense but if you have makes all the sense in the world why because you know that God will provide you there was one time in at the of Shalom and his was struggling with financials everything was just like literally borderline not having the money for it but you know making ends meat but still always pressure pressure pressure and one day he comes to ra sh and he tells for the listen I decided that I'm going to take on a part-time job I'm GNA study for half the day and I'm going to work for half to day Shak looks at him and says my dear son you should not be leaving the K and studying less and working some traditional job you should stay in the and have confidence in hasm that everything's going to be okay he says I know I knew that you going to say this to me Rabbi and I appreciate everything but I've spoken about it with my wife and we've decided I'm going to give this a try ra sh and no other Rabbi can you know Force anybody to do anything and the guy goes on his way and he continues to learn he learns half day but he works the other half now this is still good but several months pass enough time to make some money enough time to get used to this whole thing and the young man comes to ra again very nervous practically tears in his eyes he says I don't know I don't know how to explain this I didn't listen to the RV I didn't listen to you when he told me not to leave for even part part of the day and I I I I'm paying for it now where I'm making a lot more money because I'm working at this job but yet somehow I'm not only not getting ahead but actually I'm in debt where at least in the before I took this job I mean everything was tight but we made ends meat I didn't have any debt now making a lot more money but somehow I'm in debt somehow there's never enough I don't understand I don't understand tells him my dear son you have to understand that when you show AEM that you have in him a 100% in him then puts special blessing on you special on you where all of the traditional ways of the world do not apply to you anymore that refrigerator that was supposed to break doesn't break the kid that was supposed to get sick and end up having to spend a few thousand on medical bills doesn't get sick those shoes that go you know that get ripped because the kids play with them and and and everybody runs around they don't rip and all of these traditional expenses and costs of life that happened to everybody else simply don't happen and many other forms of blessings come upon someone that shows 100% confidence in Hashem but once you decided that you have partial confidence in Hashem then the regular ways of the world also partially came back on you so although you were able to survive on 2,000 for the whole month in the past and now you cannot survive on 7,000 that's not because you have abnormal amount of expenses now no it's now you have normal expenses now you have normal ways of the world now the divine presence is lesser if you want the full one you have to go back to what worked so the was the visoy of Egypt 3,300 years ago and they're still the visero today if a person truly could understand understand what an really is a real because the most extraordinary levels of are many times found in these very simple people people that literally abandon everything else and commit to the Torah without a plan without any savings simply going and committing to the T surely there's certain people that have some form of success and savings or help and so on and they become of and they continue to succeeding anyway but the ones that we're referring to here are a little bit different than that now last but not least we go to the beginning of the par the beginning of the Paras says that once the message from par came to take out this Hebrew name your out of the hole the Torah tells us they hurried him out of this B of this hole this prison why do I need to know that they hurried him out of there just tell me they he went out Tora is trying to tell us when a person has that's not something that you develop overnight it's not something that just appears it's not a headache it's something that a person has to work on that means that it's something that a person has to work on through difficulties and you see we know that yadik went through these difficulties and passed the test with flying colors how do we know because when the two Egyptians came to him in the hole that he was in and asked him to interpret the dream Yik knew that the only way to interpret the dream was through prophecy you cannot have prophecy if you're miserable you cannot have prophecy if you're even sad in fact the Torah tells us that evenes leaves a person when they're sad how can you not be sad when you're in a hole if you have you're never sad because you know that everything is from hasem so that means that yourik he's in the hole and he's just happy as can possibly be enough to get Prophecy in the hole which will eventually lead to the way that hasem gets him out of there and the Beautiful Thing here is that although he wasn't released right after he interpreted the dreams for those two people in fact it was two more years the mid says the ver in mik this week's 89 where brings the verse of Psalms chapter 40:5 saying praiseworthy is the man who has made hem his trust who is this said about this is an illusion to yadik this is an illusion to yadik who did not lose confidence in hasem in fact he is the perfect example of somebody that has confidence in hasem but how could it be if in essence he got punished with additional two years in prison for asking the Egyptian to talk to him the mahu says what yadik did was perfectly reasonable and in fact to say that it was forbidden would be the opposite of what the Torah teaches us about our own efforts that we need to exert even while having confidence in hasem but the issue here is is that not everybody has the same level of not everybody has the same level of confidence in hasem and hasem judges each person based on their level so when a person has a low level of confidence in God and therefore they exert a lot of effort in order to make Financial uh uh decisions in order to make a living this is expected this is normal they're not punished for it but when a person has a high level of confidence in God and they exert an high level of effort to make money this is considered sinful behavior for that person and that's the reason why YF got punished for it because all the while he is dealing with his brothers he has confidence in God no matter what I know that even though they just sold me I know God has the best for me I know that even though this executioner just acquired me as a slave everything's going to work out I know that even though this Executioner's wife tried to destroy me spiritually and now I'm going to jail because of her I know that God has a plan for me it's perfectly fine this is the best thing that could happen to me I know that even though I'm in a jail in a hole in the ground with no end to my sentence I'm as happy as can be when these two Egyptians come and ask for an interpretation to the dream Yus sadik is as happy as can possibly be because he knows that the current circumstance that he has is the best possible circumstance that could be available to him at that moment it's not that he's expecting that good things will follow in the future but rather it's the way that he looks at things right now right now this is the best possible option that's available to me out of all the options that are available out there being in the hole being in jail being sold being tortured whatever it is as happy as can be so we see that Yik had the ultimate amount of later on when he's in front of par he tells par it's not me that's going to interpreted dream this is only Hashem having complete confidence in Hashem at that moment to say the truth that the the knowledge is not from him it's not from his wisdom it's only from God risking the fact that will say oh if it's not from you and you don't have this knowledge it's from your God then just get out of here we're Idol worshippers we don't care about your God risking everything and having confidence in hasem that this is the best circumstance I'm going to stick with the Tor no matter what so the mid says that the perfect example of somebody with a high level of is Yik why did he get punished because at his level of confidence when he was the best at confidence in hm best for him to even ask some Egyptian to help him get out of this prison was already too much at his level for everybody else it's not too much for him it was now when a person does not have disaster strikes and although I know this is going on a little longer than typical it's certainly worth it with these last few points as we said the page 98 says that there is a the following people do not have a share of the world to come after saying all of Israel have a share of the world to come it then says and the following people don't have a share of the world to come to teach us that in order for a person to have a share of the world to come they have to be under the umbrella of still being considered is someone that desecrate Shabbat is not part of is someone that's an idol worshiper is not a part of Isel someone that's an Aus doesn't believe in the oral Torah rejects the teachings of the sages makes fun of rabbis does all types of things that are considered Under the Umbrella of aicos doesn't have any connection to is so thenar goes into giving a list of people that are have no share of the world to come and says that there are people that do not believe in the resurrection of the dead and therefore hasem punishes them where they themselves lose why because believing in the resurrection of the Dead is part of the foundation of Judaism and Hashem punishes measure for measure so the asks how do we know that hasem punishes and Rewards based on measure for measure he says we have endless amount of examples one of the examples we have the brings in page s9b is the story from Kings 2ter 7 verse 20 when there was a famine at the time of Elisha Navi and Elisha told the king to to tomorrow after noon now there's no food now there's starvation now people literally are dying because of the lackings that are there Alicia tells the king tomorrow afternoon there's going to be such an abundance such an abundance of food that it'll be sold for pennies on the dollar the general of the king mockus say tomorrow nonetheless there's going to there's so much missing now that you're saying that we're not only going to have food tomorrow but there's going to be such an abundance that it's going to be more than enough for the entire country to the point where it's going to be almost like sand that's how abundant is going to be just all in the next 24 hours and he mocked it Elish says to him you will see it but will not taste it will not live to taste it and the Torah tells us it's exactly what happened you look at the verse over there Kings 2ter 7:2 it's exactly what happened the next day a few of the people that had satat that were outside of the camp outside of the city borders because they had satat saw that the army of the enemy that was camped outside of the city something happened and they ran away and left their entire Camp weapons food everything there and then they ate and then reported back that there's so much food in this place when the people of the city found out they literally ran every single one of them gathered so much food that it was literally more than enough for for 10 times fold what they would possibly need and everybody was running and and and excited and everything and this General that was standing there in disbelief forgot to get out of the way while the people were running and they ended up running him over and killing him he saw the food just like the prophet Elisha said but he died at the gate the says this is one of the examples of how hasem punishes measure for measure he didn't believe the prophecy that Hashem will provide this thing that is unbelievable by tomorrow you'll see it but you won't benefit from it now the says that in in the uh sh says that one of the advantages that a person has when they have trust in God is that a person no longer puts all of his trust in God based on the amount of wealth they have or don't have they get to a point where they don't rely on money their Viewpoint of money becomes where they simply look at it as a deposit when Hashem gives the money they view it as a deposit that was commanded from above for them to use it for certain purposes for a limited amount of time if it stays at length in their possession they don't become AR because of it because they know that it was given to them by God and they're simply performing their Duty by Distributing this money to whether it be their employees or to charity to publicize the Torah or whatever it is they're doing with it to serve their creator and using what Hashem gave them for that purpose but if the money is taken away they lose the money somebody takes the money that confidence doesn't change why because they simply thank Hashem for collecting the deposit that he gave them in the first place they know it wasn't theirs the whole time yeah but it was a $100 million yeah it's God's $100 million yeah it was $50 million yeah it's God's $50 million yeah it was a billion dollars has a lot of money says is the minus the gold says God the the master of Allegiance it's his when there's more when there it's all his yeah but you worked yeah sure I worked what's what's what do one thing have to do with the other a lot of people work a lot of people work doesn't mean that they have this amount of money when God gave me all this money that means he had this money stay with me as a deposit has this money was in my bank account in order for hasem to distribute it to certain people many times you'll see that Wicked people succeed tremendously with an enormous amount of money and unfortunately this is a test for people that don't have why oh how come this guy that's so wicked that drives on Shabbat that cheats that lies how come he has so much money how come God has given him a lot of money don't look at the bank account look at the life because when you look at the life you'll see that the bank account is simply an illusion more times than not that money is a curse on that person is a form of punishment on that person number one they cannot trust anybody two people view them simply as a place to take advantage of they cannot form any real relationship three marriage relationship with children all that stuff is a disaster after another because simply just like with business transactions they want more more more and therefore nothing is ever enough four they have unusual expenses that regular people do not have medical expenses and legal and so on but the worst part of it all the the when they get to their Peak their highest level of net worth you know what happens they lose it all in every case they lose everything and leave it to other people other people take all that money how do we know death happens when people die usually they die with their Peak wealth meaning that this guy worked 80 years to accumulate a hundred billion dollar and guess what he's dead now the money is still here other people are going to get it even though he worked for it in so many words he just worked a 100 years 80 years 50 years for other people cuz they're the ones that get the money and many times hasem will use those Wicked people as simply a safety deposit box until he decides to give it to a righteous person and you'll see time and time again these people make an obnoxious amount of money people that lack confidence in Hashem lack understanding of becoming jealous of them not realizing wait a minute that money he's not going to spend all of it he's not going to eat all of it you know what's going to happen somebody else is going to take all of it he's not even going to enjoy half of it why because that's not God's plan God gave him the ability to hold the money for 30 years why cuz he's wicked certainly he's not going to give him the ability to enjoy it yeah but he bought a yacht you think he enjoys that yacht he doesn't even know where the yacht is yeah but he bought a plane okay so he bought a plan how does that increase the level of joy in life it increases convenience but doesn't increase Joy yeah but he uh gave him access to uh a lot of women yeah and that lot of women creates the biggest level of tragedy and misery in a person's life yeah but he gave him a company and yes that's where most of his stress is that will lead to eventually his heart attack or simply his uh misery or his divorce or other things real happiness real fulfillment doesn't exist in that business it exist in the toah a person can conduct business and still learn toah and thereby have success in both but when a person is wicked goes against the toah whatever success they're given in this world it's certainly not a blessing and you'll see that time and time again every single one of them the peak number of wealth that they have is eventually given to somebody else either when they die it's given to their enemies it's given to their uh children that care less about them it's given to the wife that left them it's given to their partner that they couldn't stand or that cheated on them it's given to a bunch of people more times than not a bunch of people that simply forgot about them the second they died and even beforehand or it sometimes happens even during their life they lose it in lawsuits they lose it in all types of scandals and so on the money is not a blessing money that comes in any form of wickedness is never blessed money it's cursed and that's why the person that has be is never overly excited about having not having why he knows if God gave me this money I'm simply holding the money for to fulfill his will if he took the money he simply collected at the deposit that means that if if I know that all the money that he gives me is a way for me to serve him that means that there's no need for me to cheat there's no need for me to lie there's no need for me to do anything illegal there's no need for me to do any type of Scandal there's no need for me to take advantage of anybody there's no need for me to violate the Torah in any way shape or form in fact there's never a need for me to violate or work on the holidays or even work so much to the point where I don't see my family and I can't learn enough to there's never a reason for that why because the whole purpose of what he's giving me is in order for me to serve him so if I'm not learning to I'm not serving him if I'm not spending enough time with my family to build a family as a from family as a holy family certainly I'm not serving him if I'm not doing business in a righteous way then certainly I'm not serving him so the reality is that if I have confidence in hasem that means that the whole system has to work the whole system has to work and that's the beauty of having confidence in Hashem and you know what is the greatest thing in the world is that this confidence in hasem yields success real success so long as a person does not ruin it now one last question we're going to answer and then go into your questions during this during this par we also are celebrating kanuka and shalom in his he writes that right before the section of amid where we add the kanuka section kanuka blessing during our AR three times a day and during the we say the blessing of but interestingly enough if you look at this you'll see that the word mod and are both in this and they both come from the same root where but they're both both of these words are used in the same paragraph for different reasons where at first we say which means we acknowledge you Hashem and then thereafter we say that we thank you hasem when a person acknowledges the hand that feeds him it becomes much easier to thank him but when a person is not acknowledging the hand that feeds him and he thinks he's feeding himself then who are you thinking and this leads to the reason of why yadik was the one that merited to be the one that will actually give sustenance to the entire family because it wasn't just that he had come confidence in hasem we're also aware that he overcame the test of lust when the wife of ptif tried to seduce him how do we know that overcoming wasting seed immorality sexual promiscuity has any connection with financial success in in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 23 the holy torat tells us there shall not be a promiscuous woman among the daughters of Israel and there shall not be a promiscuous man among the sons of Israel you shall not bring a harlot's hire in exchange for a dog to the house of Hashem your God for any vow for both of them are an abomination of Hashem your God and right after says you shall not cause your brother to take interest interest of money interest of food interest of anything that he may take as interest well we see here that there's a direct correlation between promiscuity inappropriate behavior when it comes to morality and also inappropriate behavior when it comes to business if a person is going to protect thems in the issues of morality they're not going to waste seed they're not going to be promiscuous they're not going to be modest then guess what that in itself will give that person the spiritual strength to handle having confidence in hasem in order to do business the right way and Merit having the financial blessing that comes along with it you see when a person has confidence in hasem that means that they're overly a moral person in every aspect of the word and so long as they don't ruin it by being promiscuous either with self or with other people then they can Merit also getting the same blessing that Yik he preserved himself he protected himself from forbidden intimacy with a forbidden woman and he exerted the highest level of confidence in hasem at the moment of truth shm said that's the person that can withstand the financial tests if he can withstand the tests of Seduction he can withstand the test of money too because he certainly has so he becomes the perfect vessel for me to give the ultimate wealth to he be his will that each and every single one of us use these tools in order to build real confidence in Hashem because when you have confidence in hasem you won we all win with that being said I'm going have a quick drink and then you guys can start asking questions sh okay let's see question by Charlie what does the Torah say regarding killing insects in your home uh in regards to uh killing insects uh it all depends on the uh the reason meaning if a person if it's a child that just killing ants and whatever you have in your house then that's not that's not even something to consider because they're children but if it's an adult it depends if the uh uh person uh is bothered by this uh by this insect uh whether they're scared of it or the insect is dangerous uh or anything like that then there's no problem of killing insect uh without a second thought uh but if the uh uh you know there is really no reason to kill it they could just simply open the door and the insect could walk out and that's you know also something they could do they were also depends on the level of sensitivity of a person you know certain people have a u sensitivity to the creation so much so that uh they feel bad if they kill something so a person like that will completely be uh not uh related to the answer that you're allowed to kill insects uh other people that are more in line with uh the uh normal sea of the world are you know careless they see something they see a insect and they have no problem killing it and again like I said if it bothers you if it's something that's dangerous if it's something disgusting to you there's no problem as far as killing it uh but if you can get rid of it in other ways and it doesn't bother you or burden you to do so then certainly preferable there were certain sikim that like the for example that knew the Behind these things and everything the the the uh behind the scenes of every one of the Creations uh you know they would refrain from killing even the smallest insect uh but again this is not the uh obviously nobody can even compare it to a shoe string uh that the Aral used today but needless to say they uh it all depends on why depends why but if it's because it's dangerous or you're scared of it or it's creating a hysteria in the family from the kids or the wife or the husband whoever is hysterical over it you don't need to think twice you can kill it uh without a problem um next question what should we listen to in the car as background when we are somewhat occupied with cooking folding laundry uh well I would suggest you listen to my shim I think will certainly help a person ideally a person should have full attention uh when they're learning T but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't learn tah if they can't pay full attention many times especially women that are running the house cannot have a moment of Peace for an hour two or three hours when they have kids and they have a husband they have a house to take care of most uh women don't have that kind of time or that kind of Freedom so they're never going to get to peace and quiet where they could learn to that way and the only way they could learn is simply when it's in the background while they're doing a million and a half other things and certainly they need to do that it's perfectly fine for them uh the uh but if a person has uh the U ability to learn when there is more Focus certainly that's even better but that doesn't mean that when they can't focus they shouldn't try to learn here and there because you have to also look at it as what else would you do otherwise this is also the uh uh answer to people that ask are you allowed to read at night or read the uh the at night now have told us that it's better for a person to not just read psalms or uh or the five books of Moses during a certain period after Sundown until because this is a uh you know certain time of impurity and creates all types of issues but this is assuming that you will read some something else that's holy that is allowed but if it's either learn or the or nothing certainly you should go read it and learn it and and do that if it's either go play video games or retaing go uh you know chitchat on the phone uh or read the certainly read the uh but if you could if you want to elevate it even higher then it's this is a time to do other things so it also again it depends on what a person is replacing it with so if if if a person can learn Tor certainly it's better for them to learn T even if they can't pay full attention uh that's one now if they simply cannot uh they're not in the mood for tah or they uh whatever the cases and you know sometimes if they listen to uh uh kosher music uh that's uh could Elevate certain people uh they uh uh could certainly listen to to kosher music if that's uh that's good but again uh my personal recommendation and preference is always to learn more to even if that means that you're only going to get two minutes out of every 10 minutes it's still better than nothing because that two minutes could certainly improve your life and your day uh much more than uh you know not listening to it uh but if again a person shouldn't make that the only time uh that they learn to they should try to make other times that they can learn to where they have more the ability to focus more uh let's see I saw a video of these Black Hebrew Israelite clowns somehow they found mid chapter 24 that it says Noah blessed his sons and grandsons and bless chem to be black uh therefore uh they're saying that it proves that even our rabbis are saying that uh blacks are real Jews or the uh real descendants of Shem uh how can we debunk and refute this nonsense uh well it's very very simple number one if you're going to use the oral tah you have to use the entire oral T and not just the parts that you like this is the Christian way of doing things they simply use whatever fits they think that the the oral tah is like seasoning you could just take a little bit of this and a little bit of this no no it's either you take the whole package uh or you reject the whole package you cannot say that the oral tah is evil and bad and and and and heretical and all types of other things that these Hebrew Israelites and other forms of Christians say but at the same time pick and choose different parts that you think are serving your purpose that's number one number two that very same hos he is the rabbi of R AKA meaning he is one of the forefathers of the oral Torah which is the talud that they insult all the time so this is how ludicrous the whole thing is of them using some of his writings that was only published about 5 600 years ago you know over a thousand years after the uh and they're using the same they don't even know who's who that's two number three uh or to sum up that point if they're using that the book was published six seven 800 years ago something like that but obviously he's from 2 years ago he was the rabbi of R AA um so obviously they have to listen to everything else that he said and everything his student said and everything the says and they obviously don't do that because they think the the tud is evil and so on so now the third point is the level of ignorance whether it's by choice or they're simply really stupid I'm not I'm still debating which one it is I think it's a mix of both actually is shown and is exemplified specifically with this argument of using that as a proof why because that very same in fact I'll bring it let's see that very same it doesn't say that Shem was black doesn't say that what does it say it says that there were three levels of colors was considered black Shem was of Darker complexion meaning less than black and then Yeet was in essence blessed with being white now obviously they have a diluted mentality and they think that first and foremost Judaism is is determined based on color which is completely stupid two that the uh their definition of black is what the Torah is referring to now 34 now if look at let's say the Jews of Iraq where abah ainu came from the Jews of the Middle East Moses and the others what are you going to find you're going to find Jews that look like me Jews that have a darker complexion than our European Ash Nazi brothers and sisters which are many of them are very white not all of them there are many ashkanazi that are completely darker complexion but needless to say the typical ashkanazi is white like the Russians polish and so on then you have the people that are in the middle which is Middle Eastern complexion which is typically more in line with m skin color olive olive type of color little darker than uh than uh obviously the the white people but certainly not considered africanamerican color and then you have the black color which is again a class of its own there are levels of black there is the black like for example some people from uh uh certain parts of Africa that are very very very black and there are obviously shades of brown and they are even lighter color africanamerican uh uh color but you still know they're African-Americans the point being is is that when uh here it is uh God blessed Noah and his children it says God bless Noah and his children each of them received a specific gift Additionally the entire Earth was Beed as their inheritance he blessed Shem with beautiful Olive skinned children doesn't say black children say olive skin children giving them the inhabited territory of of the Earth as a Heritage he blessed with Raven likee dark skinned children giving them the coastal areas as a Heritage he blessed Yeet with beautiful fair skinned children giving them regions of desert and fertile Farmland as a Heritage so here the the very same chapter 24 doesn't say that shem's kids were black they just wanted to be because because they're stupid or ignorant or combination of their both now that's Point number three shows that they don't even know how to read and this is not this time it's not even Hebrew it's English but it's typical Christian mentality selective reading argument number four everyone knows that over the last 100 years needless to say over over the last 2,000 years needless to say his grandfather's grandfather over the last 3,300 years needless to say times 100 times over the last 4500 years there has been assimilation where you have certain people of white complexion go with people that are of Darker complexion and people with darker complexion go with people less dark complexion and people that are really dark with really white and people in the middle point being is that everything didn't stay the same even in the last 100 years needless to say in the last 4,000 years and even if people kept their faith it doesn't mean that their children look exactly like them and their grandchildren even more so and the best example of that is the black Comm Community how many guys that are from the black community have a white girlfriend or a white wife and their little kids look a little mix of both they're beautiful like this one they're beautiful like that one like it's like literally somebody choosing to be blind because it serves their purpose now they want to do it to themselves fine but how does everybody else not realize that the they're lying to you like I understand that the leader wants to lie to himself but how do the followers not realize that listen he's a liar like this is the stupidest thing in the world like your own generation right now it's become normal practice in the last generation a major Improvement in society in America over the last 100 years has been the fact that relationship between Black and Whites has become common practice is not a problem anymore now if you did it in Texas in different parts of the South and different parts of America 100 years ago 150 years ago they may end up uh uh you know lynching the guy but today it's not a problem many of them built beautiful families together white guy black girl white girl black guy well I have students like this many of them and guess what they have beautiful little kids and guess what the kids look like neither one of them sometimes as far as skin color is concerned face everything else looks exactly like them but the point is that it's the stupidest argument in the world I cannot believe the africanamerican community is falling for this level of stupidity it is simply an insult to the intellect of the entire Community to believe that this particular mid or anything else they're going to manipulate in any way is a testament that they are really Jewish that it's like it's so stupid that I don't even that's why I haven't addressed it I'm trying to like literally almost trying to like run away from this topic because I feel like I get stupider just hearing anything they have to say but unfortunately this is the problem of the day like to think that the Jewish religion is determined by a color in itself shows you know nothing about Judaism they meaning number two to think that people have not changed their complexion their skin color over the last few thousand years is just I don't know go look outside go look outside see the kids that are out there that coming from interracial marriages like it's what what what's what this it only started now no it's it's been around for for years and even more so than anything else I've explained to you Jewish people are different than the rest of the world in a sense that their color their their everything their physique is influenced not just by the physicality of the world but also the spirituality of their surroundings this is what we talked about in but obviously these people are clueless about the basics L of the T needless to say about the zor anything else the point being is it's that whether you want to go on argument number two that they simply are manipulating the text like they do the Torah itself and in the New Testament and the Old Testament and everything else that they read they manipulate even their own scripture that's complete full false at anyway the New Testament they manipulate that too now of course anytime they look at the Old Testament our Torah they manipulate it but to go and tell people that this says that the the this is a testament that black people are Jews it's an insult to all africanamerican people it's an insult to anyone of Darker complexion it's an insult to all Society it's literally an insult to the world because it shows a level of manipulation combined with stupidity of the utmost level that we've the world has never seen before and people are just saying yeah you stupid what why am I stupid you you think you're really Jewish look at my name it's ancient that's what makes me Jewish and these are the comments you see on some of my videos from these people she thinks that because she has her name is shakana and it's I don't know an ancient name apparently that's what makes her Jewish and I'm stupid because I brought text from the tah and from all books that are relevant to Judaism that's what makes me stupid and they bring this mid from hos and manipulate the text itself and people follow them I don't know I don't know maybe soon they're going to say that pigs are flying and people going to follow them also I don't know maybe they're going to jump off of buildings and uh you know looking for these uh pigs to fly on top of I don't I honestly don't know but it's it's it's just a bizarre bizarre level of of of of corruption stupidity I can't emphasize that enough because I don't know and and the best part about it they every other Joe Oh Come debate me come debate me my YouTube channel like debate you you don't even know how to speak English needless to say Hebrew needless to say Torah what's debating it's like me it's like it's it's it's what am I debating exactly what is there to debate you only debate if there's something debate there's nothing to debate we have the truth you made up something what's there to debate no no but we brought the you're Rabbi no you didn't bring it you quoted the chapter correctly you quoted some of the names correctly but what the rest of it is doesn't say it it doesn't say what you say so what's there to the wait oh no but we have DNA DNA where in the Jewish religion and the holy Torah does it say that Judaism is determined based on DNA no but we have ancient names your mom named you 20 years ago when you were born 30 years ago when you were born before you decided you were an Israelite she was going to church every Sunday praying to some guy that died on a cross before you decided you're an Israelite she named you with complete disconnect and knowledge or understanding that Israelite is anything that's how she named you it has nothing to do with anything no but we're black how is the world taking this and actually following this is bizarre to me I know a lot of black people that are very very smart and they're as dumbfounded as I am about this how people are following these stupid people like it's unbelievable to me I don't know what is going on in the world what's in the water it's just so bizarre and the worst part about it is that all of these Mortal Combat outfits that they have where it looks like every one of them came out of some video game the the Flyers and posters they have online with the rap videos that connect to it and people take this as like religious seriousness the guy looks like he just came out of a video game and you're waiting for him to say finish him instead of saying God like what is going on here how does anyone believe this stuff how does anybody listen to these people it's bizarre to meash I am waiting for the guy to come out with some nunchucks or something or some type of like extra move to beat the other guy finish him finish him and always there's somebody in the background that's reading the guy that's in front of you never actually reads and you're like whoa like there are literally millions of people following this stupidity desecrating the name of God desecrating the Torah and and you know what the worst part is that they're also an insult to their own kind their own people but yet their own Community is not speaking out against it many people are joining them unfortunately and it's so sad it's just it's just I mean it's just it's such a bad name for for for for for them but I don't know what to tell you so listen anything that comes out of these people's mouth is a lie in one way or another or simply a mistake whether it's intentional or unintentional is it's really doesn't really matter anymore uh um it's simply that it's they're bizarre people uh and unfortunately uh many of them are dangerous too but um everything that comes out of their mouth is simply stupid just uh just stupidity running rampant uh and I I don't know I don't know how the world is even uh you know joining this and and and part of this but uh it's it drives me crazy drives me crazy to to to see how many people people are failing becoming victims to this it's like everything they say is wrong all right let's move on to the next thing sorry just uh bizarre situation we have in the world today um dear Rabbi what does the Torah teach about retirement plans like 401K uh well I mean listen if a company that you work for is a providing a benefit to match the uh money that you put into it and uh and they don't match it if you don't put into it so obviously it's a financial benefit for you to contribute to a 401k then certainly you could do it and it's certainly a good idea to do it um as far as uh uh planning for retirement and things of that nature again so long as a person realizes that uh you know they have to serve hem to their fullest potential today and not wait for their retirement not even think that uh the retirement is uh something to consider when it comes to uh uh their uh you know their servitude of hashem's responsibilities of today uh you know but if a person wants to uh save for the future by all means it's uh it's not forbidden let's just say that uh the problem you know is is when people put too much effort into it where they literally put all of their uh resources into planning for retirement and that means that they end up donating less today they end up uh doing less today they end up let's say for example not moving to the uh Jewish Community because uh they uh want to save more money for retirement and moving to the Jewish Community today uh that's a better Community for themselves for their kids is going to affect their retirement this is the wrong way of thinking you have to serve hasm to the full po today as far as what hasem provides for you tomorrow your retirement is not necessarily going to be uh a factor in that if hasem gave you food today uh there's no reason for you to question of what what he's going to give you tomorrow if he give you food today I'll give you tomorrow but as far as if a person uh can do this retirement planning whether before 1K Ira Roth traditional uh you want to do profit sharing plans there's obviously a whole list of ways of uh having these types of uh tax exempt or deferred accounts a person wants to do it it's not a problem so long as it does not interfere with their ability to serve hasem uh to their fullest potential today uh that's that's in essence the the way to look at it um okay trans okay so Ruben is asking me a question but okay if I watch videos on YouTube with Spanish subtitles but I must wait that this video is uploaded on YouTube to be able to read the subtitles thank you very much yeah yeah BM one day we'll uh have the ability to have these subtitles automatic or perhaps maybe hasem will uh give me the uh blessing like he did to yadik where overnight he taught him 70 languages because that's the way that he had to prove to that he was uh you know that he had obviously divine inspiration and was very wise so sent him uh griel to teach him 70 languages because the way that a person uh would uh rise up to power in Egypt in those times was uh not through lineage but rather through a number of languages so par knew more languages than anybody else he knew 69 languages and uh therefore his throne was on top of a staircase that had 70 stairs 70 stairs so any he would uh whoever would come would want to come see him would have to show how many languages he knows so he would speak to him in one language if the person uh responded he was allowed to go up a stair if he didn't respond then he had to stay where he is so when yadik came he responded in the same language so he was allowed to go up a stairs so then said another statement in a different language and Y sadik responded again and he did so on and for every stare until he got to the 70th stare and par didn't know any more languages but YF did YF knew Hebrew uh the holy language which par did not know and in fact parau uh made a deal with uh with YF uh that uh YF never tell anybody that he knows one more language than uh than than pero himself and uh and make a vow that he won't tell anybody because then they would actually remove par from power and YF had no problem making this promise but and the way this ended up paying off for your is that later on when yov in two weeks from now uh we'll see that uh yov uh uh passes away and he asks uh ysf to bury him after he passes away in the cave of M and uh he makes YF vow so when YF asks par for permission to allow him to leave the country to go bury his father initially doesn't want him to do it because he's afraid that all of the fortune of the country uh will leave with with ysf he's such an important figure uh so he doesn't want him to leave so uh ysf says to him okay well I made a vow to my father that I'll leave but that's fine so if I cancel this vow I have to cancel all the vows which means I would have to cancel The Vow I made to you about not telling everybody that I know one more language than you uh so that's when YF that's when uh uh says to your go go go bury your father go bury your father so this is also the interesting part Torah is beautiful and endless delve into it and delve into it because everything is in it next one is saying uh thank you for everything a question what the say about G love the new film what does the laich say about G I mean as far as the uh um you know the teachings of come originally from the B that means that the and anyone out there in the world that considers thems Aid they have to follow the teachings of the B he's the forefather ofid in the last few hundred years and also you have a uh and that broke off into all of the other the bov had thei was and uh um and his brother uhin these were the the uh the main starting with the B then and then you know it broke off into other the uh uh the T and so on so now all of them uh come from the same Source now if you look at what the bov and the other major have said about Gom we have a whole book about it it's on our website it's in Hebrew that anyone that wants to download it for free or wants to even distribute it in their community we' be happy to send it to them uh there is endless amount of sources I know that from we tracked something like four or 5,000 I think 4,000 sources inid that discuss the topic no I'm sorry 5,000 sources that we have uh across the Globus of the tah uh that talk about gay there's much more than that but we have 5,000 sources and I think from was something around 13 or, 1400 from of B and the other students that he has and they've said things that I said in the Le in the movie I quote them I quote the uh of what they say about Gom uh and theab itself their teachings that started with the B their let's say their their main the main that started was the T and the T talks about Gom no differently than I do in fact he's much more details and chapter eight uh of his Tanya he talks about the G kafak and in plenty other places that throughout the Tanya he talks about Gom there's Gom of of snow Gom of fire Gom that a person has to go because he uh wasted time or because he ate something that wasn't kosher enough not kosher at all and you know I mean I quote them in the in the film and uh quite a few times uh quite a few times there's a whole section about the uh uh and in general of what they say about they don't say anything different than the rest of the Jewish people throughout all the generations uh it's only the people that are part of a cult that call itself kabad that has no connection whatsoever to the real that deny G or say things like Manis fredman does uh that says that it's a fun place to go see your friends and all types of stupidity like that the real the real has no connection whatsoever to theab of today that's what ra has said many times he says that they're complete uh they're they're completely ignorant they don't know any Tor they cannot pin they cannot say anything that without mistakes in fact he even says you can't even uh count many of them in and if they write a to go burn it uh so in this is one of the he's one of the biggest rabbis in the world today it's not uh this is not like a local this is a giant among giants uh so the point is is that the the real much of kabad today not all of it but much of it today especially the ones in the uh Western society and you know it's unfortunately has no connection whatsoever uh to the real kabad uh and um I think the biggest problem is that uh it's hard to tell the difference because you know it's a unless you learn with somebody uh you won't know what they uh what they say but I can tell you this anyone that denies even a minute of uh of any of the Torah sources that we quoted in the uh in the movie is you could pretty much conclude this person is AOS they cannot be counted in the minan they cannot uh you know be considered anything relevant whatsoever to needless to say to uh because it's somebody has denying a t this is the foundation of the tah we didn't bring things that are outside of the standards of the Torah uh I I suspect the gays are being supported by the by the elite that wants less people on Earth since being gay will result in less people eventually honestly to be honest with you I don't I don't uh get into those uh uh into those theories that people get into uh you know there's people wants to depopulate the world with the viruses and all that New World Order nonsense uh whether it's real or not is irrelevant God runs the world he always did he always will nothing in the world happens without God allowing it to happen um next one I've been I've seen that many people are doing right now what is called high ticket traffic marketing or funnel marketing sorry for my ignorance is this the same type of Ponzi schemes no not necessarily this certainly there are some people that are uh using the the funnel marketing for their scams certainly there's many people that are using it for scams uh but no it's not the only one there's there's different there's scams that come in all forms and sizes uh there are people that scam in every industry there are people that scam in everything it's doesn't mean that everybody's a scammer uh you know but there are certain industries that are prone to scandals and scams just just the whole industry is corrupt and there are certain ones where it's more likely but not necessarily uh uh you know uh always and there are some that is just random you know there's uh in the investment business for example there is is a people love to tear uh the uh the investment industry when uh when the markets go down right now no one is really going against the market because people made a lot of money in it but once the market collapses much more than it already has once it collapses another 40 50 60% you're going to start seeing all the Lefty liberals come in the streets and protest like they did 15 years ago uh the 1centers the 99ers all this stupidity liberal mentality and all of a sudden they don't like the uh the capitalism uh the very same capitalism that's giving them the iPhones the same very same capitalism that's giving them their television and computers and cars and uh and everything and the sneakers that they have uh that they only have to pay uh you know a few dollars for and the t-shirts all that stuff that they apparently don't like it uh but the point is that capitalism is certainly a uh a great system to uh you know that you could have in society to do both good and evil both good and evil uh you can use capitalism in a way that you could produce a lot of good things you could uh generate a certain amount of benefit to society while generating a certain amount of benefit for for the person that's leading it and and the employees and the people that are Partners in it but you could also use it for the exact opposite in order to corrupt people in order to create major uh uh uh tragedies financially and otherwise for people uh so it's everything can be used for good and bad there are just certain industries that um that are more prone to it than others um you know so I think that uh the coaching business and uh and uh some of the uh so-called influencers like gurus on the internet are and and certainly cash advance which cash advance is pretty much 100% Scandal the whole thing is scam the whole thing is garbage uh because they're simply raping people financially charging them you know 80 90 100% interest rates 50% interest rates I know somebody just told me now they they they borrowed some money uh out of an emergency and uh they uh they need to get some money together and I think it was like uh3 $335,000 uh after paying almost 30 or $40,000 like they borrowed 35 they've paid like almost $330,000 back okay over the last year and change and they still owe 45,000 now like this is like I don't know I mean it's it's it's it's it's it's ridiculous what people are doing today they're just killing people killing people uh so this is uh Mafia legal illegal the same thing so that's a corrupt business now as far as coaching and uh and uh these influencers on the internet and uh these types of things those are more prone to corruption and Scandals and scams because many times the people that are giving this so-call life coaching or this so-called uh uh business coaching or whatever it is they themselves don't know business they themselves don't know anything other than just simply to sell their product like they don't actually have real life experience or real business experience uh and many times they simply copied and pasted somebody else that they uh watched or or learned from that don't really have any practical experience and many times uh people that are going into the coaching business it's simply because they're just looking for somebody to pay them like a lawyer without being a lawyer they want somebody to pay them three four five6 $700 an hour just to talk to them and simply tell them whatever they want to tell them without any really consequences without any liability and uh you know people that are successful or desperate or a combination of both I willing to pay you you know a few hundred an hour just to talk to them even if the conversation is not going to be anything that's going to be uh as breakthrough as the commercial says it is but there's plenty of people doing it plenty of people doing it does that mean that it's it's it's it's uh forbidden no I mean I I think it's certainly uh taking advantage of the weakness in society uh but um you know I mean it's it's uh as far as it does get to corruption it does get to uh uh much worse levels with certain people people that uh usually the ones that succeed the most where they you know create that backdoor type of uh product that's for Unique victims an investment product private usually that's uh you know all types of you know things that uh they really take advantage of people uh if there's money involved there's corruption and and Scandal involved you should know that that's a uh again that doesn't mean that everything in business is corrupt and Scandals there's certainly plenty of people in the investment business and hedge fund business brokage firm business that are honest straight shooters that are good at what they do and there's many many many of them that are drug addicts degenerates losers thieves uh should be in jail for Life uh some I would even say should be executed uh because of how evil they are with with the things that they do uh sure that's plenty I I spent nearly 20 years uh in the business I've seen some uh you know some some people that are really really bad people uh and uh you know it's it's just you know it's it's it is what it is uh Torah tells us someone that uh is Addicted to Money will never have enough money never have enough money which means they're willing to do anything for it anything for it and this is not just an investment anything uh so just be careful person has to be careful okay I'm not very knowledgeable and I'm getting better though uh thank you for teaching me question after watching the movie I questioned forgiveness of sins that we pray for and where does that happen how does that does it happen and if they are blotted out uh why are they being recalled for punishment ah very very good question okay the page 86 a uh it talks about how there are different levels OFA different levels of repentance and there's different levels of sins if a person made a uh accidental sin meaning they let's say for example they did not know it was Shabbat today they forgot you know they just woke up in the morning they're a little off and they know turn on fire they forgot Shabbat and then it is oh or they just went through the whole day forgetting that it's Shabbat now this is considered an accidental sin uh now or there's a intentional sin where they know it's Shabbat they know it's Shabbat they know it's forbidden to turn on fire like driving a car or smoking a cigarette or you know things like that they know it's forbidden to do that but they do it anyway in fact they even drive to that's considered an intentional sin now the punishment for the two different sins the intentional and the unintentional are a world of difference world of difference both have punishment but they're a world of difference now as far as the chuva the chuva is certainly also creates a world of differ uh results why if a person does chuva the standard level of chuva they uh take all of the um intentional sins and those intentional sins get lower the level to unintentional so that means there's still a punishment for it but it's nowhere near as severe as what it was where before they did chuba that punishment could have been Eternal punishment forever again know the worst possible thing whereas now it's let's say they have to I don't know get uh fired up a little bit for a few months a few minutes uh or maybe they have to suffer in this world for a little while whatever it is but it's literally minute in comparison imagine eternity temporary uh but that's for the intentional sins if the the unintentional sins unintentional sins those get removed they get wiped out as if they don't exist that is standard level of chuva in essence it's let's say you can call lowlevel chuva but it's really there's no such thing as lowlevel Chua if it's either Chua or it's not but it's standard now if it's a high level of Chua which is a Chua that gets to a point where a person gets to not only fear hem but get even to a point where they're loving Hashem and they even are fearing him from his majesty and not just from the punishment so in essence they are uh acting in in their life with that in mind they're doing the mitv with that in mind they're doing the CH with that in mind and it's a process obviously it's not a one siiz it's all type of thing then that level of Chua would actually turn all of their uh unintentional sins into MIT meaning they don't disappear they actually turn into mitv so just imagine most of people's sins usually are unintentional all of those unintentional mitv become merits they go become they become to their credit so a person certainly is going to has more sins than he has mitv which means that his chat turns him into much more righteous than he could ever possibly be even if he just did mitv his whole life that's why the says that in a place that a stands even people that have been uh righteous their whole life do not stand why because this person just transformed all of his sins into MIT and this is not this is this surpasses the person that's been righteous their whole life because people make much more sins but now all those sins turn into mitv and then the unintentional the uh the intentional sins those get wiped out those get wiped out uh so uh certainly there is a uh uh you know these these uh this this first level that I just explained now there's also levels of Chua that are uh that take it a step further where a person does one of the two options I just mentioned but they also add T what's tun tun is to uh either fast or donate money in order to clean a sin that's still left outstanding so for example if somebody uh wasted seed and the Aral says that you know obviously this is a sin if a person doesn't do Chua for it if they did it intentionally even if it's one time they lose all they have to go to Gom forever needless to say if they did it many times now if they uh do Chua they stop wasting seed that's already a very very big plus that they stopped sinning and that's a uh great that turns all of their sins in the past into a lower level but the problem is they still have those sins on their account still have those sins on their account if they want to wipe them out further then they would do a TK and the Aral in essence gave gave a menu of uh of fasts of how many fasts a person has to fast for each sin so if he wasted s uh uh seed one time he has to fast 84 times now of course in in the days of theal people were able to do such things in today's world generally speaking people cannot do such things especially since that's for one sin so the sages came up with a solution over the last few hundred years since the time of the Aral uh and uh and he gets it from the so it's not like the AR made it up this is something that's already from the time of uh and uh the U what the in essence uh explain is that you could replace those fasts with money so whatever would cost a person to eat on the average per day is what would replace a fast and so we have a website called tunait dolive instead of.org or.com it's dolive l Ive tuna. live over there there's an explanation a written explanation and also an option to donate whoever wants to do a tun whether it's for wasting seed or for other things there's the details over there uh where uh if let's say you uh uh it cost you to let's say eat $5 a day that means to fix one wasting seed to do a tun for one wasting seed is $420 now many people that take this stuff seriously and want to do tiim they usually do it on a monthly basis you know because most people have sinned many times and they don't necessarily always have the means to uh uh to pay for it or even the the interest in paying for it all in one shot so they do a monthly plan they pay you know do one tun a month two tons a month five tons a month whatever they can afford depending on their ability and uh that's how they do uh that extra uh that extra stretch and uh more times than not I've seen people that take on these tkim uh with us I don't know but you know obviously what what other people do I don't I have no access to their information but I see our students people that have taken on these tiim many times they've been blessed where they actually getem sends them more money meaning that in essence what ends up happening they end up investing uh into fixing their n which that money is also used to help people do chba and Hashem actually gives them more money and which in essence ends up being where they end up ahead as a result of it so uh this is uh certainly a uh a big plus for somebody that wants to do the extra go the extra mile to fix and to to clean uh the pest uh as far as uh if a person does not do a tikun and they do not get to the highest level of T that means that when they go up to shim they are going to have something still left on their account that they have to fix that in in essence that every time a person sins it's not just something that's written in a book it actually creates number one it creates a certain angel or a mik if it's an angel It's a uh a good one if it's a maique it's a bad one that is Created from that act and if that act is something like wasting seed then it creates many of them um so there's an actual physical entity that is Created from the act that testifies that the actual act took place that's who actually is the accuser against the person I am the angel the musique that was created from such and such sin on such and such date at such and such time meaning he's not only the witness is uh is is the actual byproduct of what happened uh if it's a Mitzvah then it's an angel that was created from that Mitzvah uh that says I am the angel that was created from this mitvah from this good deed this person uh did uh so this is also in talks about every time a person sins they create a mik every time they make aah they create a uh good Angel a uh a Defender now uh so if a person is a uh doesn't do Chua when they go up to Sham they have to fix it and those mikim that they created uh are the ones that are used to fix the uh damage they made to their soul because aside from creating a maique they also uh have you know spiritual damage on their soul like holes on their soul that have to be rectified you know let's say consider it you know either holes it could be something the equivalent of let's say rust and all types of things again this is just uh to uh make it understandable for people it's obviously not rust itself it's obviously not whole itself it's it's something that uh the sages explained to us in a fashion that we would understand but it's needless they say it's an actual damage on the soul itself that has to be rectified so if a person did not Rectify himself or herself it has to be rectified this says that one of the people that did a tun with him uh you know for uh for immorality of uh uh he uh he actually um had a dream uh I believe it was a dream uh yeah after the person died yeah after the person died uh had a dream uh where he actually saw the entire Judgment of that person in sham take place like the the same day that the guy died uh had the dream where he was actually watching the Judgment in heaven of what was happening to this person and uh they took this person uh and uh they reviewed certain things and then immediately there was angels that came from a completely different section uh very powerful and uh you know uh intimidating uh uh angels and uh they apparently some type of uh surgery room appeared and they took him into this room and they did a uh surgery on his male member to remove the spiritual rust that uh still was left uh because the tun that was done for him uh was for one thing but not for everything uh so there still had to be something left meaning the main thing was fixed the main thing was fixed or else that person would have never Hada he would have gone to Gom forever so the main thing was fixed but there was still something left and uh they uh they had to remove it and you know surgery on a male member you know it's not it's not a uh with anesthesia so uh they uh they had to do it and literally watched this whole thing and he says he gives a detail he says they are surgeons of the highest caliber and uh uh some interesting uh tools let's just say that this is in his he wrote this in his book so the point is is that it's a if a person has the ability to uh to do the highest level of Chua of course that's the best if a person is able to do uh CH and also do tiim that's certainly amazing if a person cannot do the T they can't afford them they whatever the case is then obviously do Chua to the best of your ability and that's it it's uh do what you can with what you can and uh when uh hasem sees that you're doing the best you can he'll give you opportunity to do even more uh my question is who are the descendants of Noah's children Shem are the Jews um I once heard that uh Indian and Chinese are also from uh from Shem however else heard Chinese are from actually listed Noah go to parat Noah at the end of the Paras the end of the Paras it talks about descendants of Noah and says that his grandson was seen uh so the uh scene is China uh so it's a uh I'll show you where is ah here you go uh so had a son named Kanan andon this is in uh chapter 10 of Genesis uh in verse 17 and it goes to so the the arite and the sinite in English it translates sinite but sinite is not in Hebrew is cini cini is Chinese so the Chinese were descendants of the uh ofam ofam uh you know and uh each one of the other uh uh Nations come from one of the others but put it this way the um Jews come from Shem the uh you know the um most important part for a person to know is that even though the Jews come from Shem it doesn't mean that they cannot join the Jewish people if they want doesn't mean you know so the Jews come from Shem great but that's not necessarily all the Jews because some people converted to Judaism so if a person wants to uh join the Jewish people and be one of the descendants of abah ainu which is the father of the Jews uh then they're welcome to do it because Judaism is determined based on the observance of the Torah not based on your uh your father or your mother sister from 5,000 years ago it's based on your observance of the toah if a person wants to become part of the Jewish people the more they welcome to they have to go to a formal conversion through Orthodox bedine observe the law and live like a righteous Jew fantastic uh now if they do not want to convert to Judaism um and they are are let's say part of the nation of or part of the N nation of ye fine there nothing wrong with being part of the nation of of the descendants of or the descendants of ye you are still obligated to be righteous and follow the laws of the Tor that are relevant to you relevant to you meaning you have the seven noahide laws so the sons of Noah are you know not something that should really uh make a difference differ to a person's Behavior today because if a person wants to be Jewish if they were born Jewish then obviously they have to be uh there's no choice of getting out of Judaism but if they were not born Jewish whether your ancestor is Shem ye is irrelevant you could convert to Judaism you convert to Judaism now if a person is uh uh you know not Jewish and doesn't want to be Jewish fine no problem stay not Jewish but you still have to follow the Torah which is relevant to you which is the noahide laws uh so it's a you're not allowed which part of the noahide laws is you're not allowed to create a new religion which means that Islam Christianity and all of the inet are all against the Torah all considered heretical according to the Torah all are forbidden according to the tah person has to follow the noahide laws and be a righteous person perfectly fine that's that's that's all they need to do whether ye or this one or that one is their long lost uh ancestor it's not going to make their difference in their life what people need to be concerned with is what's going to make a difference in their life uh you know not not not anything else uh let's see if Hashem punishes someone in this world does it always take away from punishment in the next World or can someone be punished in the penalty in both yes they can be punished in both for sure sure uh not always be punished in both but they can be punished in both generally speaking this world is not well suited for punishment it's not well suited for punishment when AEM uh brings uh uh a u pain in one form or another uh to a person in this world it's to their benefit it's not to punish them because their suffering here is worth a lot more than what it would would be if they are not in this world because suffering here for a moment could be the uh you know con uh the difference of uh you know thousand years in the world of Truth why he suffered here for uh you know uh that he lost I don't know a bunch of money that's terrible feels bad maybe even cries about it no problem if he realizes that it was either that or him being in Gom for A Thousand Years he'll thank God until the day he dies for for for losing that money should tells God why take more take more just to make sure insurance policy I never you know so the generally speaking the stuff that happens to people in this world is not a form of punishment but rather it's a it's to their benefit in order to replace a much much worse punishment to clean them to elevate them uh and to test them the says there's seven different reasons that hem brings suffering to a person during their life six of them we know uh one of them is simply Hashem does it because he has ways that are beyond our comprehension uh next question is Shabbat considered a higher holiday than other holidays such as R and Yip uh Shabbat is a uh yes Shabbat is the Covenant between us and hasem a person that is a uh observes the Shabbat uh can use that as a uh chuva for even idolatry chuv for violating uh uh uh the other uh the other holidays observing Shabbat is such a big deal that if somebody does not observe Shabbat they are no longer considered a Jew they're considered an idol worshipper now again they're still considered a Jew as far as if they do chuba they come back at a good standing but their Judaism atically speaking is on suspension uh they're considered in the same level as an idol worshipper because they violate Shabbat uh now again is only if they do it intentionally not if they don't do it intentionally if they make a mistake they woke up uh forgetting that it's Shabbat or something like that that's not uh intentional sin but uh a person that uh uh desecrates Shabbat goes to Gom forever whereas a person that desecrates or Yip certainly it's a very very very big sin uh but it's a it's not a uh Eternal Gom uh and losing their Jewish status in in the same respect it's certainly terrible it's certainly uh horrible uh but pound for pound it's not the same but I should also add a caveat that it also depends on why they why they sinned why they s because if somebody is a uh sinning uh just because they have some type of lust some type of desire for something that's one level of sin but if they sin for the sake of making hem angry that's a completely different animal that even the smallest sin would be the worst thing they could possibly do uh though you know but uh you know but it's it's so so again it's it depends on a few different factors on a few different factors the reason behind it and and how many times uh did they get a benefit out of it or is it no benefit to them if a sin brings them benefit some type of pleasure then it's believe it or not it actually uh helps them uh as far as the level of uh lessening the level of punishment than if the sin is not giving them any pleasure where there's no benefit for them to do it they're just simply doing it they're just simply sinning just because uh that's a very very serious problem if they do something like that uh so again this it's the the details of reward and Punishment are much much more difficult than than people could imagine but when we discuss it in the film and lectures uh we discuss it in a fashion where it's it's all the information that's you know uh uh necessary for people to know easy to understand but the details of the details either uh you know have to be studied obviously by people in order to know them but quite frankly I don't think that uh the average person out there um needs to study all the details of the details because they need to study of how to not sin more than they have to find uh study the details of what happens if they s this this one particular sin or that one or that one uh let's see can you please explain the power of theim uh can someone who does not read Hebrew proficiently recite theim in English or any other language and does it have the same power in heaven uh so as far as T TM is a very powerful thing it's the you know the T were written by multiple uh umik from our history Adar wrote wrote the first T you also have mosu wrote T you have DAV is wrote many of them obviously and then he's the one that compiled all 150 T together and the power of T is extraordinary when a person says them with full kavana because it's the you know very high level of prayer very high level of prayer if a person is uh reading T like a robot and doesn't really care what he's saying it doesn't have as much value as if they are really uh you know digging into the words and and and trying you know connecting to their heart to they're connecting to Hashem through those words but the point being is is that it's a uh T is is is something extraordinary it's certainly something that could even bring miracles to a person's life uh I know that uh there practically every Zula out there uh usually has some connection or another to also saying to Healing there uh you know most tell you know on a regular basis for some parts of their day could be only one teeing a day could be 10 could be 50 I know different people different things but certainly it's not something just for women it's obviously men do it too especially people that uh you know want to connect to Hashem they want to uh you know pray to him extra side from the uh obligation uh uh prayers uh as far as saying it in Hebrew certainly has a uh uh extra significance over saying it in other languages but you could certainly say it in other languages uh and it still be very very important but again the the holy language has uh significance when it comes to the the the uh the reading of the Torah uh it has a certain impact it's not like the oral toah where the main goal is to understand what you're say because you're learning a specific law or an event that took place or a combination thereof whereas theim or even the written T the tanak there is a significant value to the language itself and the sounds that are coming out of your mouth now it doesn't mean that someone that says tahim uh you know with with half an effort in Hebrew is better than someone that is saying it with complete passion and cavana in English or Russian or French or whatever other language uh you know that's insignificant no no the one that's saying it with full kavana is certainly better than the one that's saying it in Hebrew the point is is that if a person can say it with kavana and in Hebrew that is the ideal but if they can't say it in Hebrew for you know they don't know the language then there's no problem they say in whatever language they know connect to Hashem that is the uh that is the uh um the goal the goal is to connect in a deeper level to hasem uh and certainly a person should do it oh wow it's almost three hours uh let's see only a couple more questions who are the true Israeli is that a serious question or you just busting my chops uh I told my friend not to attend even the K uh only of a mixed dancing wedding she said she she asked her Rabbi and he permitted her family to attend Thea only since the couple is very close relative I don't understand shouldn't there be Al for everyone it is there is an Al for everyone and just that Rabbi doesn't follow the for everyone just because you see a rabbi say something uh that is against the Torah doesn't mean that to changed for him doesn't mean it changed for him simply means that he doesn't follow the it's like you know it's like seeing uh you know the uh the uh the doctor that deals with cancer smoke a cigarette after a surgery you know just you know just because he uh uh he does uh surgeries for cancer patients all day doesn't mean that uh he's uh doesn't want to smoke a cigarette he may want to smoke a cigarette does that mean is that hypocritical 100% 100% should he do it no but guess what that doctor is in much wor much better position than that Rabbi because the rabbi is sinning against God and he'll get punished for it severely severely it's it's desecrating the and it's uh horrible but uh what listen say uh you should watch the G movie you should watch the G movie perhaps uh I have a question in your shim you sometimes say not to listen to many different rabbis not sometimes I always say don't listen to many rabbis always however my question is do you mean forfa or if you want to listen to or usually you have to listen to other rabbis uh please elaborate um I mean again I don't know how much time a person has to to listen to but uh generally speaking you know it's a uh you know as far as if you're listening tohfa typically it really shouldn't be more than one Rabbi for that uh if the the one that's not that's teaching asfa is not teaching Al you want to learn from somebody Al on the uh uh that's fine but I mean it's uh sometimes it's a easier for a person to uh learn from a rabbi uh you know on the Internet or or face to face and for them to learn from a book so yeah they'll learn from a certain Rabbi um and then if they want to do dumi so they have another Rabbi for dumi fine so they have multiple rabbis but that's where it ends that's where it ends but the problem is that that's not where it ends for people that's not where it ends for people what people usually do is that they listen to you know one Rabbi for the weekly parha another Rabbi for uh let's say I don't know another Rabbi for another Rabbi for another Rabbi for I don't know something about mashia another Rabbi for I don't know Corona virus and what ends up happening is they have a you know Rolodex of rabbis not realizing that those rabbis while they're teaching whatever they're teaching unless they're very strict to to keep on a subject like du yomi and they don't say anything other than what the duff says which is unusual and or they and they only say the and they don't add anything else which is again unusual because you need a personality you need to add some of the other stuff meaning that the other stuff comes with it so when they add all of these weekly Torah portion and weekly uh this portion and that portion it's it's it ends up they ended up getting uh a mixed batch of ideology from multiple uh rabbis and uh many times it leads to a lot of confusion I know that there is uh several several people that uh you know consider themselves my students but I don't consider them my students I know they're not my students why number one they listen to way too many opinions uh way too many opinions and way too many opinions doesn't mean 50 two it's way too many opinions uh you know if the opinions vary so much uh two they make you know big decisions without even Consulting uh you know whoever they consider their Rabbi uh usually you know they they they ask after uh something breaks um and uh and three they don't there's no real loyalty or or or commitment to anyone particular it's simply if it fits then he's my Rabbi if it doesn't fit then I'm just changing my Rabbi most people can't don't have a concept of what having a rabbi is and don't really have any commitment to who their Rabbi is I mean they'll call you Rabbi for today but you know give it a few months or a few years and they'll change you like they change t-shirts uh so it's a um uh the truth is is that the reason for the reason for that is because you on one end we have a big blessing in the world today that there's a lot of Torah that's available a lot of scholarship that's available uh at ease at your fingertips but at the same token that also has a negative effect where uh because there's such it's so so easy to get information uh people lose the value of it uh lose the appreciation of it and they simply replace and uh and and simply uh uh you know just go with the flow uh and don't don't have really a real concept of what a rabbi is and and what it means um and that's what it is it's fine so uh but as far as to listen to many rabbis I've seen people make major life decisions uh you know because they heard a lecture from a rabbi that they did that they did not consider their Rabbi despite the fact that their Rabbi told them not to do whatever it was and they still did it yeah but your Rabbi said no yeah but this other Rabbi is also smart yeah but you said he's your Rabbi the first one is your Rabbi or the second one is your Rabbi somebody your Rabbi partom line is you're you're going against your RAB you're listen to somebody else yeah but it's just done this one thing okay so you don't have a rabbi you're not a rabbi if people understood what having a rabbi is literally it's it would make them shiver no less than the uh the Theo movie that's that's that's what having a rabbi is so most vast majority of people have no concept of what having a rabbi is no concept whatsoever uh one day one day one day they'll get to it uh I have a question sometimes uh oh no no you said I did this one already what is the main seul to achieve a miracle in your life on kanuka I mean it depends depends what a person does depends what their life what their means are what they have first and foremost it's always good to have a lot of cavana uh you know when you're lighting the candles and for at least a half hour uh after you light candles not to toil yourself with cooking and cleaning and working or anything like that have hour shut off the world no phone no nothing simply just have kavana during that half hour enjoy your family and you know but as far as that's one two look at the candles it's very good very good for spirituality look at the candles uh the fire meaning uh that's two uh three it's take something on yourself take something more mitv more modesty more generosity more more learning whatever it is uh big thing is also to be very very generous especially when it comes to publicizing to it comes to helping people do CH generous with money many times people are uh generous with uh you know with one thing but not with another they they're more than happy to give their time but their money absolutely not and it's not because they don't have any money they're just simply cheap they just don't want to give their money so it's it's important for a person to be generous with their money when it comes to very very generous with their money uh it's the more generous you are uh when it comes to the more generous is going to be with you uh regarding the things that you want that's more most dear to you uh so that's that's a big thing and so to try to do as much kiru as possible and and help as many people as possible and support as much as possible is certainly a very very big thing uh obviously you know learn uh you know more to do more of whatever you're doing but you know it's it's try to take on something try to take on something uh that is a uh more than what you're doing as far as uh as far as um your servitude of hem those are some of the things that can certainly help uh sometimes a person is doing a lot but uh a lot of things that are not relevant to them or are not really helpful to them like for example there are many uh you know people that uh uh you know women that took on uh reading uh let's say the uh seph on Shabbat okay you know he made reading the the of Deuteronomy uh you know a very very big thing which it is a big thing certain scha and so on but generally speaking it's it's meant for men it's not meant for women and needless to say even if a woman is doing it she's not supposed to be reading the the book of Deuteronomy like she's reading T it's these are two different types of uh scriptures world of difference and even more so sometimes it happens where a woman will take on reading this book of Deuteronomy you know at the worst times like reading it the on Shabbat so that means that she's not going to spend time with her kids she's not going to spend time with her husband she's going to be reading uh you know obviously this is this is a you know this is a drunk calls it so a person sometimes needs to double check whatever they're doing if it's really the right thing to do you know some people they uh you know they don't want to learn the the basic Foundation of to they want to jum they want to go into mystical cabalistic and and they end up being you know complete ignoramuses idiots that uh make mistakes left and right and you have to call them idiots because it's idiots by choice it's not idiots by no choice they choose to be this way and generally speaking the idiocy comes from arrogance most of people's idiocy comes from arrogance because they don't want to learn they don't want to go with the system they want to create a new system and that's what creates a so you know person always has a double check am I in AOS am I doing the right thing whatever I'm doing did did a rabbi tell me I need to do this I just chose it myself I just decided that this is the best thing for me you know and a person that double checks themsel certainly uh will have a much better uh success and uh reward in this world and the next from what they do RAB is a good uh is the good kabad custom to recite the whole T every Shabbat um a thing many people do uh ret the entire Shabbat if you're a woman sure ret every Shabbat fantastic but if you're a guy learn learn you know learn learn T learn T is much more than reading with all do respect to learning T is much more significant learning than reading T that's not my opinion this is uh but there are times that a person doesn't have the uh you know the the ability ility to learn to either because they're too tired or there there's uh you know too you know whatever cir circumstance they can't learn tah so they could uh Reta no problem you know of course don't waste time but if they have the ability to learn tah for sure learning Torah is superior to everything uh CU some of the same questions I already answered is this oh so many things are disappearing sorry I heard from someone that someone said hearsay is uh is not uh something that anyone can rely on I have a uh 17 18 page alic uh answer from you know the upsu that it's uh cash advance is forbidden there's no no one in the world can ch it's not uh I told you guys already I'm willing to pay anybody $100,000 if they could prove it wrong no one can just came out in a the new book the new SE by and uh it's being distributed in Israel but that's when it comes out uh in America well sent to a few people but it's actually on our website on our website a new a uh in there there's the cha uh it's forbidden uh according to all opinion it's much worse than I ever said the uh cash oh I think we uh we got to all the questions got to all the questions okay thank you very much uh for uh the question I don't know I have to that's a mid have have to look up specific ages I don't remember those usually uh but uh if I find it then uh I'll uh I guess I'll say it next year uh okay thank you very much for learning with me school again anyone that wants to um donate can go to the website BHD donate.org or go to bam.org uh or some of the other websites we mentioned make sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel or the uh uh the app and all the other things that we have and will uh see you guys next Tuesday Sunday I don't think there's going to be a sh so most likely it's going to be next Tuesday the sh that we'll have our next Sho uh yeah well you have plenty of material it's three hours sh you have plenty of material to go over till then anyway all right amen [Music] where is G in what' you do to get in here huh evacuate SE not m not we did that already people go to a place and they experience weird things and sometimes they actually will see a character of some type well where did that come from Once something is that's it that's like Mount SIU the end there is no further discussion I don't know why that one chain is swinging back there the largest near-death experience study that has ever
