Ben and all of and all of the righteous noahides that continue to watch and support all of the work that we do all the K all the Torah that we learn thank you very much for everybody uh brief update um and we'll get into it because a lot of material um in regards to the T for all of those partners that we have that have invested and continue to invest uh in the tunait uh campaign the movie uh uhem it's uh going amazing uh We've uh we're getting we've passed three and a half million views uh on the uh internet on mainly on the YouTube there's probably a few hundred thousand to U at least a half a million views maybe more on on Facebook uh so uh just uh main channels we're looking at over three and a half million views possibly close to about 4 million views just there alone uh We've uh sent out uh about uh almost 200,000 cards uh movie cards to uh to people of which 100,000 of them were Direct Mail meaning that they went directly to the mail of people another 100,000 uh went uh are going out tomorrow uh and the next day so we'll be at 300,000 within the next couple of days uh and uh this is a the direct marketing is something that we haven't done before and it's yielding fruit we're seeing a lot of people watching the uh the movie uh and not just watching the movie for entertainment purposes but you're seeing literally people change their lives I had actually a couple of uh well-known a couple of uh wellknown people in general not necessarily but famous people uh reach out to me and uh thank me for for the movie it it woke them up uh and bashem countless countless regular average people from all around the world uh rabbis regular uh you know average Jews women men Jews non-jews countless people have watched this movie the movie and it's impacting lives more than anything else we've ever done uh to the extent where we realize that this is going to need for us to continue to invest into this like we already planned our um uh digital marketing plan is uh almost at full force I would say right now we're reaching about 100,000 uh new views every single day uh across the different channels since we have this in 10 languages uh so we're about 100,000 plus views a day uh on this tuna movie uh uh as far as the uh on theground marketing with the uh the cards the stickers the uh the magnets all that other stuff as I said we're uh 300,000 cuz 200,000 already sent another 100,000 being sent today tomorrow uh so 300,000 and really that part we really want to do uh uh you know as as many as we possibly can we have about uh you know couple of million more to go that we know of so this each one of them obviously you have to get a stamp you have to you know the whole machine thing it's not cheap but nonetheless if a provides uh the partners to do it will will be able to do it and reach a lot of people uh and uh uh cuz we see we see the results we see the results the numbers are uh speak for themselves uh not necessarily the the views but rather the watch time you know the amount of views is good millions of people watching it that's great but uh what's most uh important to us is the uh the amount of time that people watch this movie and really everything on our channel uh being well over 20 minutes per video which is unbelievable if you know anything about uh you know YouTube and other video statuses it's non-existent pretty much average video out there is a two minutes people watch it so to have people watch our videos for an average of over 20 minutes especially this particular movie I believe the average watch time is about 21 22 minutes so there a lot of good stuff happening and uh this is a definitely bringing a lot of to a lot of people from all walks of life men women young old married single Jews non-jews from B cha nonr I mean I had a guy that told me that uh he was uh just the other day he was completely off not keeping a single thing and uh always thought you know maybe one day in the future I'll get back to it maybe one day maybe one day but in reality that future never came until he watched this movie and the movie literally woke him up in a matter of a hour and a half his whole life changed his whole life changed keep us back on his head goes and learns every single day to now goes to bitet keep Shabbat it's a simple wakeup call it's a wakeup call that's necessary because this wakeup call is hard it's hard to watch this movie or really any of our lectures uh and and not do anything about it uh you know it's a uh and I always have this conversation with people to you know try to uh get your family your friends your loved ones your community uh to uh to watch these lectures to watch these movies that we have because anybody that starts watching them will ultimately change and the reason why is because you only have two options when you watch our shim since they hard facts there you know there's countless sources you can't say we make this stuff up or this is our tradition that we made up or something like that you have sources you have you have you have the you have you have the you have you have countless sources that we bring in every Shi and will bring today so when somebody sees all of this information is legit it's sourced they really only have two options you know if they're going to continue watching they have to change why because it hurts it hurts to hear the truth constantly and know that you are the one that's going against it it doesn't make any sense either the person changes which more times than not that's what happens or the person just stops watching and just stops watching because they can't take the truth anymore and that's a person that's a you know intellectually a liar uh he's just lying to himself wants to live fals it's not many and one of the ways we know it's not many is because instead of the subscribers and the viewers uh decreasing they're increasing which brings us to our question brings us to our question you know as far as how to be a leader today whether it's a leader of a community a gabai a rabbi a a person that's a position of power how to be a leader today because a lot of people say listen I have a lot of friends you know I don't know if I want to talk to my friends this way and tell them the truth maybe it's hard for them to hear it maybe this maybe that I heard a sh by a who was of this and he had a that he talked about the uh you know the need to learn about Gam the need to learn abouta and how it's not all Rosy and he says one of the reasons why people are not scared of death is because there's so much money being invested into uh the uh the funerals today that it seems like a nice thing there's so much uh compliments that people give the people that just died it seems like a nice thing to die see people don't have a concept of what it means to die and what happens and where life really truly begins and he says when he was younger uh he uh went to uh Feinstein and M Feinstein asked him how many friends do you have and uh you know as a young man he said to him 20 friends so asked him this a couple of times how many friends you have and then uh he kept repeating the same answer toste says to him say all you have is acquaintances you don't have a single friend huh how's the r know I don't have a single friend he says you know who's your friend you know who's your friend your friend is somebody that's crying at night worried at night can't sleep at night because he's afraid that you're not going to go TOA you're not going to go to heaven because you don't want to pray on time because you don't want to keep Shabbat the right way because you don't learn Torah and so on and so forth that's a friend do you have friends like that that worry about you at night that worry about you whether you're going to go to or not says no I don't have any friends like that he says from that day on never had a single friend I have a lot of acquaintances he says I don't have any friends I don't have anybody crying over me whether I have a or not and that's really the big question do we really cry over our friends and family worry that they havea do we cry about the you know the nation of Israel whether they have or not do we really care of whether other people go to heaven or not that's the question and if we say yeah I care so I sent him a sh okay so you sent him a sh they watch it no they didn't watch it okay so what' you do then oh I stopped sending them stuff that's how much you care is that how much you want somebody to care for you no but I don't want to go and jump on them and this and that or in other cases you have people attacking people without taking any consideration of where they came from and where they are and what what's going on in their life and they simply just attack it's also not the right approach so the says the following you know we're going to learn a little bit about how to be a leader whether that leader is a rabbi or an individual today says in a place there's no leader you be the leader so says page 8 said in the name of the second verse talk talking about a verse in the Tora in the Book of Numbers 11:2 that's uh talking about the relationship between M and second verse is a warning to the community that the fear of a judge should be upon them and the first verse is a warning to the judge that he should tolerate the community so here we have a verse in the tah says we have one verse that talks about how the people have to be afraid of their leader of their rabbi respect him honor him yes there's also in the in the rambam of how Rabbi is supposed to behave uh never uh socializing with the with the people uh never uh be being intoxicated in front of them never even eating next to them uh and acting with aut which is like levity and so on we're going to go into that a little bit but the second thing it says is that the the judge the rabbi the leader he also gets a warning what's his warning that he should tolerate the community tolerate the community what do you mean tolerate the community how much can he tolerate the community says to what extent should a judge be required to tolerate the community and some say was two mentioned this or perhaps one of them in a say that as n as a nursing father carries a suckling child that's what it's that's the uh that's the um verse from The Book of Numbers 11:2 it says that as much as a father tolerates a baby the baby is constantly on the mom wakes her up at night he's constantly uh taking the uh attention of the mom he makes her sick he breaks her head he uh makes her uh constantly wants to eat constantly has to change him constantly this constantly that what can the father do what can the father do why I can't stand this baby what are you going to do he's a little baby what is he going to do what are you going to do with this baby it's your son it's your daughter what are you going to do with the B nothing so as much as the father has to tolerate the baby the mom is an unusual relationship why because the baby to her is like a piece of our body well she going to get mad at a piece of her body she going to get mad at her right hand because the left hand won't go you know it's you can't get mad at the baby it's the baby the mom is a completely different relationship with the father but yet the father tolerates the baby why he tolerates the baby because the baby and at the same token what are you going to do you're your partners in this crime you're partner in this creation you're partner in the whole thing so even though this baby is destroying the body of your loved one your wife even though this baby is destroying her sleeping patterns to the point she has insomnia even though this baby doesn't stop eating eating and doesn't stop changing and doesn't stop crying even though this baby won't let you have a single conversation you as a Aba have to tolerate him and from you we're going to learn how much we the leaders have to tolerate the community okay but how much is that how could was this just a teaching was this just a suggestion ran chapter 25 number one it's forbidden for a judge to assert himself in a lordy and Hardy manner over his community instead he should conduct himself with humility and awe any leader who cast unnecessary fear upon the community without intentions for the sake of heaven will be punished by heaven and he will not see a son who is a Torah scholar as implied in the uh Book of Job 37: 24 therefore people fear Him He will never see anyone with a wise heart so number one the ra is that the leader can't just scare people just because he has a position of power or anything like that so then you can say oh hold on a second so he has to be nice he has to be afraid of his cute that's what a lot of rabbis today are afraid of people they won't tell them don't drive on Shabbat they won't tell the guy that's married marri to a that he can't be they won't tell people the truth they won't tell the people that she's walking around Imes they won't say nothing to them why say wait I'm following the Torah I'm following it says that uh you shouldn't scare people hold on a second hold on a second that's just the first it's the first second what second similarly a judge may not treat them with capriciousness which is with Kut with levity with choking around hanging out being friends with them no he should not treat them that way even though they are coming people you shouldn't say listen they don't know what they're talking about these people they grew up in the K they grew up in America which a uh you know America in Hebrew is like the the am that's rck the nation that's empty you know they grew up in emptiness only desires they grew up in a materialistic World they don't know Torah so it's okay you could just leave them alone they won't even understand even if you give them a lecture about reward and Punishment they won't even understand if you talk to them about they won't understand these people so whatever just whatever they want to do they want to do and if they want to do Chu fine they can do Chua it's not my problem Raam says you are F the T you can't treat the people that way why did you say I was supposed to be scared of them no you have to have humility and only bring fear if it's for the sake of Heaven treating them like their little children you're not allowed to yeah but they don't know they didn't grow up a religious read the continue know what it says says he should not step over the heads of the Holy people even though they are simple people and lowly they are descendants of Abraham and yov and the hosts of God who he led out of Egypt with great power and a strong hand don't treat am Israel like idiots and decide for them that they can't handle the truth don't treat am is like fools like simpletons because you grew up from and they did not your father is a rabbi and their father is a shoe salesman NOAB their grandfather is the same grandfather you have Abraham is and jaob and their therefore you have to give them the truth the way it's supposed to be done and sometimes that truth is scary you have to give him this scary truth but remember you're only giving them the scary truth to help them out of humility out of care not because you just want to scare people but rather because you care is and what about if they don't want to listen to you what about if they complain ah Rabbi come on I have a game on Shabbat just can I just play this one baseball game oh Rabbi come on listen I know you told me not to go to movies but I couldn't help myself I went to this movie and they get and they do things that are annoying and they do things that completely you know seem like they're discrediting you so what do you do the ram says what the says he should patiently bear the difficulty of the community and their burden like mosenu as it says in the Book of Numbers 11: 12 the same source that the gar mentions as a nursaid will carry an infant in the book of Deuteronomy 1 verse 16 says and I commanded your judges this is an admonition admonition a rebuke to the judges to Bear the community like a nursea carries an infant take an example from mosenu the master of all prophets whom the Holy One blessed the he sent to Egypt and it says in Exodus 6: vers 12 and I command them concerning the children of Israel and the oral tradition relates that hasem told mhe andon to accept this Mission even though the people would curse them and stone them this is meaning told in the verses you do this and they'll remember you like they remember me but the oral tradition tells us the they'll remember you and they'll curse you just like they curse me they'll throw stones at you just like they throw stones at meu and just like I love them and I have patience for them you do the same and you Mr leader in New York and in Florida and in the UK and in Australia are expected to learn and do the same whether you are a leader of a community or a small family have to do the same that's what we have it is it's not foru is not for knew it and then the next says that the judge has commanded to fulfill this mitah so to the community is commanded to honor the judge it says in Deuteronomy 1118 and I command you this is a commandment to the community that they should treat the judge with awe he should not act in a demeaning manner in their presence nor should he conduct himself in a frivolous Manner and number four continues says that when a person is given a position of leadership over the community he's forbidden to perform work in the presence of three people lest he be demeaned in their eyes he can't just start fixing his house in front of people or start doing all types of things in front of people why they're got to start looking at him like he's the gab like he's the cleaning lady of the synagogue they have to make arrangements that somebody else is going to do these things now if performing work in public is forbidden to him certainly it's forbidden for him to eat and drink or to become intoxicated in the presence of people at large and in the Gatherings of the common people and in Friendly gett togethers woe to those judges who conduct themselves in this manner disgracing the Torah of Moshe they debase its judgments and lower them to the Earth casting them in the dust bringing about harm to them and their and their descendants in this world and in the world to come these are the first four of chapter 25 of meaning that there is an extraordinary responsibility that the community has to respect the rabbis stop expecting them to come to every Bar Mitzvah and B Mitzvah and and expect them to eat and have a drink and do this is not the way that the rabbi is supposed to and if he is doing it on a regular basis you may want to seek a replacement why he became one of the community he's not fit to be a leader on the other hand they have to honor him and he has to honor them but not honor them in such a way that he's scared to tell them the truth quite the opposite honor them in a sense that he tells them the truth even if the truth is scary in order to help them and wake them up from their Slumber what's causing their slumber what's causing their Slumber is their lack of understanding of what sins are what sins are in the page 72 by Z he brings a story he says years ago about 16 years ago came out of from Shalom that it's forbidden to wear wigs because they're coming from India and it's connected to idolatry this surely is something that we have proven that Not only was rash correct but the situation has become worse since then and it's virtually impossible to find a wig in the market today that's made of real hair that's not source of Indian idolatry [Music] spee spee [Music] this is the ha received from Temple this type so each and every in they are segregated and uh do it for tangle free [Music] the temple which is getting the hair free from the ladies they spend the money for lot of charity work they give poor people feeding they run universities they run Hospitals now imagine the temple if there is no market for this they have to throw it [Music] spee spee [Music] but needless to say some people have done Chua and removed their wigs and destroyed them While others continue to deny the truth or better yet they uh fight the truth by saying this is nonsense or they have some other uh leniency of some kind to do to this to that fine well the original zilin says came out years ago about 16 years ago and it caused a major turmoil in the Jewish World when the the biggest Rabbi in the in the ashkanazi world says you're forbidden to wear wig people heard he's literally him and R are the last two that the world listened to that when they said something you saw the masses change today you could have major major major Kim say something 95% of people disregard it unfortunate but that's a reality butash said this you literally saw bonfires in communities in Brooklyn in Israel all over the world bonfires of wigs being burned destroyed because that's the only thing you're allowed to do with something that came uh to from idolatry whether it's the sacrifice to idolatry or it's the uh the idol itself the only Mitzvah you can fulfill with it is destroy it you're not allowed to sell it you're not allowed to enjoy it not to do anything so Z says that the following day when this came out the ran the teacher for one of the girls seminaries walked into a class for the first time with the the young girls in the Seminary was saying asking uhan what what happened did you become spartic all of a sudden I mean always wear the wig what happened they were curious the girls and apparently had open enough relationship with the raban they were able to ask her a simple question and raban said to them no what happened is the said that these wigs are sourced from idolatry in India and therefore it is forbidden to enjoy them it's forbidden to wear them and there aak and we have to obey it as she's completing this statement the girls asking question this or not suddenly one of the little girls stands up grabs her hair and removes it surprising the whole class with her bald head surprising the whole class with the fact that she was wearing a wig surprising the whole class that the wig was being used to hide the cancer that she was fighting in secret but she removed the wig immediately despite the embarrassment now zilin in his way of K he turns every story into an discussion he says when he heard this story says let's see I mean did the girl really have to remove the wig I mean Technically she's not like the average woman out there that's wearing it for beauty you know to enjoy it in some way she's really just hiding her shame isn't there a page 19B that says that the honor of the creation meaning mankind is so significant that it even at times overrides a rabinal Prohibition but then zusin himself says the problem is that this is not a rabinal Prohibition the issue of idolatry is a viewed as a uh as a Biblical prohibition a Torah prohibition but isn't there page 72b with the TOs the TOs some say there were 2,000 sages in the TOs one of them being and many other they actually view that the sacrifice of abar is forbidden to enjoy based on the rabinal prohibition not a Torah prohibition so how come we don't just listen to them why don't we just listen to them because we just said if it's a rabinal Prohibition then and and this rabinal prohibition is causing the dishonor of a Jew that perhaps you have a permission to override this rabinal prohibition why can't we do that because that's not the the said what they said great and sometimes they're right in this particular case that wasn't the what was the the r in 5 number one will you even see the commenting on here saying that the ra that the sacrifice to idolatry to is forbidden to enjoy based on a Torah prohibition not a rabinal Prohibition and that is the so although said it's the the final decision was not that they were we're not considering it we're considering it 100% Torah prohibition Torah prohibition now what about Torah prohibition so if it's a Torah prohibition that means that's it I have to cause myself embarrassment well you go back to the same page 19B where it says that when it comes to a Torah prohibition even if it leads to a person's embarrassment Let It Be he has to do it he has to overcome this obstacle to such an extent that if he finds on himself in his own clothing K sh somebody say hey those pants what is that uh XYZ made it oh no those have shotes in them he finds out he's wearing that that uh that company that is known to have Shotz and he didn't check for Shotz because he didn't even think about it he forgot about it that's a Torah prohibition every single second he wears those pants every second he wears that jacket every single second he wears that cloth is a Toral prohibition and says as soon as he heard that he has K on him he has to remove it from himself even if he's in the middle of a market meaning there's a bunch of people and he's going to walk around half naked now let him walk around half naked and not walk around with a Torah sin a Biblical sin every second this was also 10 verse number 29 section 303 number one 303 number one but Zin saw all of this saw that he can't find any type of leniency for this young girl to uh to wear this wig anymore meaning that she has to replace uh her wig with a hat or of some kind to hide uh what she's embarrassed of fine but maybe there is a leniency still that she didn't necessarily have to do it at that moment in the class in front of people could have waited until she got home but for such a question you have to go to the who do you go to raash and ra Z goes to ra andash says since this is a Torah prohibition of idolatry and benefit fitting from idolatry there is no leniency whatsoever that one can find that would allow her to keep that wig on for a single second and therefore every moment that she's wearing it from the time that she heard about this being a sin every moment becomes a sin that is against the Torah and she has to remove the wig immed immediately final meaning that young that little girl impressive impressive self-sacrifice but in reality that's what's expected among all of us that type of sacrifice expected among all of us what's the difference between us and this little girl perhaps this little girl this pure Nish that never sinned in her life perhaps this n understood what it means to sin what does it mean to sin what it means to sin to most people is literally a something that uh people barely ever understand page 48 brings the story one of the is a uh meeting with a very powerful non-jewish Noble woman and this Noble woman a beautiful woman very very wealthy and extraordinarily powerful she sees the rabbi is a holy Rabbi and she starts talking to him and she says to him why don't you uh be with me and he says no no I I don't feel good I don't feel good says perhaps maybe you consider this that trying to be with him no I can't I don't feel good I'm sick maybe you have something to eat she says yes R I have but all I have is uh all I have is pig so the Rabbi says no problem make the pig what eating the pig is any different than being with a non-jewish woman go ahead and make the pig oh okay Rabbi and you see this Mita this Noble woman go instead of using our countless servants that work for her she stops herself she's so hot for him she starts cooking up a storm she starts turn on the oven getting everything ready and as she's getting every everything ready in those days the ovens were weren't like today where you can barely even fit a chicken in them the ovens back then were huge were enormous and as soon as the fire is on RAB Zer jumps into the oven he jumps into the oven the Mita says to him RAB what is this what what are you what are you doing he says it is better that I burn in this world then I'm going to end up burning in the next World for being with you she says to him if I knew it was that bad I wouldn't have even asked you meaning that it's better for you to jump into a fire and burn to his crisp and die than you being even for one second of in physical Joy with a non-jewish woman or non-jewish man it's better for you to burn and die I wouldn't even ask you such a thing if I knew it I wouldn't ask how come not everybody does the same thing because not everybody knows as much tah to know the ramification of the sin what is really the magnification of the sin what does it mean how come some people you tell them listen you know that girlfriend that you have yeah yeah she's great isn't she I'm not sure I don't know her that well but she's not Jewish right yeah yeah but no she's going to convert one day okay great but now she's not Jewish though right like in the interm she's not Jewish no but she's going to convert okay fine but for now she's not Jewish right yeah but you're still in the same house yeah yeah yeah I mean we've been together for five years Rabbi oh okay for now you guys are still together and everything like married couple no no yeah yeah but she's going to convert Rabbi okay fine how come you can't just leave for the next X amount of time until she converts no come on Rabbi I love her I this I that okay fine your boyfriend he's from uh what was grandfather Saddam Hussein yeah you know you're not allowed to be with him right yeah but he's so nice to me Rabbi he just BM me a car okay the car and him and you all going to go to G up together you know that right no he's so nice to me he's nicer than all the Jewish boys that I met uh yeah but in Gom you're not going to find any of those Jewish boys you'll find him though you and him in the car come on Rabbi why you so mean it's not mean to says I can't leave him Rabbi I love him I can't leave her Rabbi I love her you know all those films that you watch to cause you to waste seed you have to stop you watch the movie T yeah I watched it but uh Raba you know I used to every day now you know it's every other day it's good right no you're still going to go to G home you're still going to go to Gom you're not coming out yeah but I keep shabas okay so on Shabbat and Gom they'll turn off the fire that's it but you're still going to be there how long forever RAB how come you so scary all the time RAB I'm not scary I'm just telling you the outcome of of the circumstance that you're in but Rabbi I can't stop I can't stop stealing I can't stop immorality I can't stop into marriage I I'm in it I understand you why do I understand you first and foremost my life second and most I learned T and I learn this number 34 page 75b it says the following the each there's the five parts of the in essence the overall you know spiritual powers five spiritual powers that hasem instilled into the world where you have the ne the the these are five different parts now don't get ahead of yourself and start aspiring to have the because this is something only the M will get only the have at best case scenario have and now Z says that the and the ne these two spiritual powers that a person can have they're connected to each other inside a person and therefore when a person sins the body parts are then taken over by the Satan and are then enticed to sin even further as if it is no longer possible for the person to overcome their desires this is an atomic bomb that explains to us that sometimes you will see that a person is simply addicted to their sins addicted to a forbidden relationship addicted to stealing addicted to lying addicted to looking and addicted to eating certain things that are forbidden or perhaps even the allowed but too much much addicted to sins and they can't help themselves they just have to keep doing it even if they heard the truth 50 times what happens that organ that's sinning that body part that's sinning is the Z says is simply being driven by the Satan it simply has a influence of the Satan much more than a typical body part that you have that especially ones if you do MIT in it now what if a person continues to do such a thing they literally get to a point where they start feeling that it is impossible for them impossible for them to stop this desire this drug addiction this sex addiction this food addiction this immorality addiction to them it seems like it's impossible to stop why because they've made so many sins that their organs are L literally addicted to the sin and they psychologically feel like they can't stop it of course they can it's all free choice but there's so much influence of the Satan in their organs that's actually sinning they feel like it's impossible to stop and at that point the leaves the body which leaves the nees alone what is the nees the ne is the animalistic nature of a person all of us have it but so do the animals now when we have NE and then we have not only the physical but we also have the spiritual we have the ability to think clearly to learn clearly to pray clearly to do good things we we have influence to do good but when that Nish leaves a person gets to a point where their natural inclination becomes more more inclined to be based on desire rather than outcome of good or bad and this explains what theat 141 B says where that a there's no such thing as an animal a predatory animal praying on a person unless the person starts looking to them like an animal now even if a person has one of these awful haircuts of today and wants to look like a moose still doesn't really look like an animal Perhaps Perhaps some people may confuse him to be an animal because of the spikes or because of the hair is that way and this way and that way and know he looks like a little bit of a strange character but nonetheless still looks like a human if an if a lion looks at him most likely he's not going to care shark sees him most likely he's not going to care most likely when is the shark going to care when is the lion going to care if that person has sinned so much that the N has left and when the n leaves the vision of the animals is different than the vision of people where they because they don't have do of being able to tell right or wrong they see things beyond what humans see they see a almost like the N of a person and when the N of a person is simply all that's left is the neish if the soul of person is all that's left as the neish the animalistic part that line now sees that person as not a person as an animal as an animal and an animal lions eat animals lions eat animals doesn't matter what kind of animal a lion will eat it a shark will eat all animals alligator crocodile love to eat animals people not so much but if the person looks to them like an animal they become lunch they become lunch hence the reason of why Daniel the Prophet or that I spoke to you about yesterday both were thrown into a cage full of lions and those Lions had days days to eat them but were too scared too scared to even scratch them why they don't look like animals they look like holy people holy people are something that lions and sharks and alligators are scared of so then if a person understands that part he will understand the next part the par this week Bak has an interesting section where you see that after bam sends his people to convince balak the prophet of theim to come and curse the Jewish people balak is excited to have him he sends him dignitaries to bring bam and Bam comes and he rides his Aton his female donkey and suddenly the verse says in chapter 22 that the Aton the Aton sees an angel where it says in chapter 22:22 God's Wrath flared because he was going and an angel of Hashem stood on the road to impede him he was riding on a she donkey and two young men were with him the she donkey saw the angel of Hashem standing on the road with his sword drawn in his hand and so the she donkey turned away from the road and went into the field and then bam struck the she donkey meaning that bam the human didn't see the angel that the donkey saw why didn't he see the why because bam despite being a prophet had such horrific sins of beastiality of filth such spiritual filth that even his donkey was in a higher level than him spiritually speaking where she was able to see things that he is not able to he was the donkey was able to see things that this bam was not able to see he has become an animal mamash an animal hence the reason of why later on when the donkey says haven't I slept with you all these years meaning that the donkey was his wife and he was talking to her like a wife he didn't see much of a difference between himself and a donkey this is what happens as a result of sins a person does not see the difference between them and their dog they start walking around in the neighborhood with a baby carriage but instead of having a baby they have a dog inside oh I love my dog Pooky cookie doie doie okay why you have a kid instead if you can have a kid okay I feel bad for you I'm sorry but that's usually not the case it's usually because you prefer a dog over a kid you prefer a furry little animal over a child why guys that's the stupidity of sins that's the stupidity of sins that happens to people now the continues says that the leaves the nees and then goes down to the area of the legs to see if it could park itself in the area of the breit because at least thisit the person had a so there's a there because there's a so even if the person has sinned by stealing by eating non kosher by desecrating Shabbat even at least this n that no longer has the help I'm sorry this neish that has no longer has the help of the N at least this neish can park somewhere somewhere that has Holiness but if he violated the breit then it the neish cannot even park there and what happens when the neish cannot park even at the bit cannot be there then this nefes starts to travel nonstop around around the person's body causing this person to become Restless causing this person to become a person that can never be settled can never have Focus can never have a day without anxiety they're always anxious what am going to do where am I going to go where am I going to get a job who's going to be who's not going to be what do I have what do I don't have they can't have a single normal conversation they're constantly nervous they constantly need to do things a rabbi I don't know I watch your sure but 2 hours I don't understand anything did you watch it well I watched it and I also had to watch 15 other things that's the way I watch I'm sorry you're you have a very serious problem my friend you have a very serious problem you have to stop you have to stop and I understand it's not easy to stop because you feel like your desires are at a point where you can't control them but you have to it's the only way but you'll see and I have a ton of experience in this world where I see when anytime somebody contacts me you know it's I know whether they have an issue of uh of G within literally a matter of seconds based on the words that they choose based on the amount of times that they send a message based on the amount of times that they call all types of different triggers pretty much the more unsettled the person is the more irrational a person is more erratic the person is the uh the more likely it is that they this is the main issue that they're really suffering with they may tell you they're suffering because they have issues with this or issues with that but in reality that's the issue that's the issue that they're they have so many sins that even their bre is now desecrated to the point where their nees cannot settle anywhere it can't go anywhere in the body it's constantly going everywhere like electricity causing them to be restless causing them to have nightmares causing them to always have anxiety always worry about things that didn't even happen and can't even happen all types of concerns that are literally driving them and the world around them crazy in so many words geham in this world one time page 53b says that one time entered the bath house and realized that he's naked of his MIT he can't wear he can't wear a he can't wear he can't carry like the way of a king he can't have a on a bath house where's my he started getting scared but then he real oh I have a I can't think about but I know that I'm not naked of MIT because if I'm naked of mitv my is going to leave when a person understands the more they understand the more concerned they become and this is the reason when he understood that this is saving him he wrote a whole T about it which t t number 12 T number 12 chapter 12 of Psalms you see it in the vers first verse for the conductor on the what on the that happens on the eth day the the I'm G to sing a song for thisit because at the very least that even at the B house I won't be naked of MIT in the Z in t number 31 page 76a Z says there are rich there are rich people rich Jews in the Exile that rely on their wealth and on them it is said those who are the ones who lose both worlds because they think the world be belongs to them and therefore they do whatever they want in order to fulfill their desires whereas the poor sedim that are not chasing the desires of this world and don't have much in this world to take away the reward that there's for them Ina their reward is fully preserved for their so now you have yourself an understanding of responsibility of the rabbi respon the issue of the magnitude of the sin and the horrific nature of it okay but what about all those people that are sinning does rabbi just take care of all the from people no continues it says but despite that despite that these rich people are those that is written on them that they lose this world and the next World AEM still does everything that he can in order to save those rich people from being completely destroyed as it says in the book of Samuel Samuel 2 14:14 deed where it says what does a think about what does he think about for we shall all die like water flowing along the ground that cannot be collected God spares no one let the king therefore Ponder thoughts that no one be banished from him so here the prophet Samuel is saying what was actually a woman saying it what is she saying what's this teaching obviously this is words of Hashem what is this what is this teaching for says first and foremost you should know that if you want to have the right ideology you should know spares no one if you sin you will get punished doesn't matter who your Rabbi is doesn't matter who your ABA is doesn't matter what books you read you sin you'll get punished simple but who is not Desiring to destroy the whole world and destroy all of his creation and therefore he will do everything possible to make sure that you're not banished from him meaning that does not want to destroy and put a person in gam the seventh section of geham permanently he wants to give that person opportunities so he'll send him a lecture I'll send him a CD I'll send him a friend I'll send him a friend that really cares about him I'll send him a good Rabbi I'll send him all types of things that could try to get this person to wake up and even if they all fail in waking him up he'll try to give this person some type of strong message to at the very least have what's called CH the thoughts of Chua just one second you know what my life is terrible I'm really living against Hashem I wish I could just change it just that thought just that thought can potentially save a person from Eternal damnation he'll still have to go to gam for a zillion years perhaps but it may not be forever it may not be forever and this is what the r mentioned in chapter 7 ver number five where that the prophets all of the prophets promised us that is will do CH will do ch the only question that's left is how will they do CH the says either they'll do CH out of good he orm sends them a leader like ham like Hitler which will force him to do CH because they realize that all their desires and all the things they were addicted to are meaningless as it happened in the Holocaust and unfortunately throughout history but here we see that unlike any other Nation we do not have a break every other generation we saw that there was a massive disaster to our nation as a result of sins even if Hashem waited 50 years 100 years 200 years letting us sin eventually disas King one of the symbolic things that we have in our in our in our Torah that shows how muchh who wants us to do Chua but we still have in order for us to do Chua we has to be reminded of our sins is this month this month of tamuz this month of tamuz what is tamuz it's not like Nissan Nissan is named after Nim which is Miracles what's tamuz tamuz is the name of an idol that is sinned and therefore the destruction of the bet mikdash so why do we have a month named after a idol I mean we have a teaching from our sages don't name your kids after evil people don't name your kid n who went against theem he's even worse than Hitler uh cuz he caused people to become Idol worshippers don't name kid as the say that one of the reasons why kak went against mosu even though he started off in a good way he ended up going against mosenu was because one of the princes one of the princes and the uh descendants of asav was also named kak and the name influences a person doesn't mean that he couldn't have done Chu he could just like his sons did but nonetheless he could he he didn't so the name of a person influences a person you should never name your kid after after a bad person don't name your kid Hitler and don't even name your kid after your grandfather that was AABB don't name your kid after evil people don't name your kid after Wicked people it's a bad thing so how come we have a month in the Jewish calendar named after an idol to teach us that we have to do Chua not just for the idol that caused the destruction of the bet mikdash but rather cha for the idols of today the idols of today we have to constantly do CH now in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 9 it says that you go in his way go in the way of hem so we already learned that the way he thinks is that he he's never going to let go of sins he's going to punish people for sins unless they do Chua but on the other hand he doesn't want to destroy us so he needs us to have what's called so how do we go in the way of hasem our job in this world is to get every single person to do chuba and even if we can't get every single person that we talk to every single person that we know to do chuba at the very least what we can do is give them what's called enough truth to get them to think about perhaps they need to do Chua perhaps they need to do cha we'll finish off with a story The closenberg rebi Shalom was KES K was the only survivor of the Holocaust from his family his wife and 11 kids were murdered in Cold Blood horrible horrible nightmare that he went through in the Holocaust countless stories of the Miracles the Miracles that happened in his life through the disaster but nonetheless how much suffering he had to go through and despite all of the suffering he built literally an Empire of Torah in America in Israel in in in Germany literally there's there there is Empire of Torah that he built one of the three rabbis that literally built American Judaism along with kler and M Feinstein so this closenberg rebi one time one of his many projects he built hospital that I was born in in NATA and this closing this this this angel of hem one time they bring him a very wealthy man that uh was ready to donate a very large sum of money for one of the Reb's uh buildings so he comes and meets the re and there's a lot of people there and the rebi says to him what do you do and re the guy says oh I have all types of factories and this and that but the rabie shouldn't worry about my hard work all of these businesses already they are mature and they run themselves and me myself I don't even go to the office anymore I just go play some cards with my friends and I have a good time my life is good theen looks at him and he says to him you're not ashamed of yourself that already you're in your 70s and you're still not learning Torah already in your 70s and you're still wasting your time and what do you think that you're that you give to all the yes is going to help you in sh I have news for you says to him all of that staka that you give you're going to get punished for every single dollar that you give because that money that you're giving them is coming from gambling in the casinos and therefore those children that are eating off of that money that you donate to their Yesa that's why they cannot learn and have Focus because the money that you're giving is T it's full of impurity and therefore you are not giving that's helping them in fact you are causing them not to be able to learn and you'll get punished for each and every child that you're causing him not to learn this multi-millionaire got the shock of his life he's about to write a check for millions of dollars instead ofak instead of good job instead of thank you instead of even being quiet the rebi gives him the truth that he never heard in his life that not only he's in a bad position and wasting his life but all the things he thought that he did good of giving St to build Yesa to build this to build that other places it's actually going to cause him more suffering because the money wasn't kosher because he wasn't kosher immediately this embarrassment leads him to get up and leave the closing re said to him rebi why he was going to write a check for one of the Reb's buildings we need it the Rabbi says to them I don't live with such an imagination to think that the words that I just said to him are going to make him change his life instantly I don't live with such an imagination but I know for sure that at least From This Moment On he will no longer enjoy the sin as much as he enjoys it now what does that really mean from the rebi The KES kashim the fire of hem what is it me what is he saying here I just gave this person mus that nobody here has the guts to do why because I love him and I rather give him the smooth M and lose the opportunity to build another building of Torah why because that M that hurt him that hurt you that hurt the building that hurt everything at the very least it's being like AEM and caring about his people enough to give them a chance that one day their punishment will end and they'll be able to go to ganeden at least he will have the that can get him out of the G that he's building himself and I did it because I love him and I did it because says go in my way what's my way care about my people even if it means they're going to curse you and throw rocks at you that's what sikim do that's what sikim do with that being said this means that each and every single one of us has an opport o Unity to be a sadik or sadik how care enough care enough to help is do Chu and even if you don't succeed in getting to change their entire life at least give them enough information that they'll think about maybe maybe I should maybe th way is really the wrong way maybe I can overcome it that in itself can potentially save them and that in itself is something that is trying to do maybe he'll use you as a tool this too will give each and every one of us more to help more and more people do CH get closer to by emulating Hashem by emulating Hashem and may hasm have mercy on us that we always go in his way and if we ever steer he pulls us back regardless of how much how much it hurts he pulls us back and he never loses us with that being said I'll take a little bit of a drink and you guys can ask the questions Denise how does one handle a situation where one wants to do a Mitzvah and it's good it's for a good reason initially but then the comes and tells a person about all the wrong reasons to do it what about the what about when the yet comes after doing a good deed with a good intent is it forbidden to call AEM as a father in a prayer and and the swort for Noah Heights okay so in the Sido in the Jewish Sido we have the we pray to hem in the morning blessings that may he B may he protect us from the yet before us and after us meaning that before we do a mitvah and after us before we do a mitvah so the doesn't influence us not to do it after we do aah so the doesn't give us Pride uh because we did it or other things that uh uh cause a Mitzvah to get ruined or that we may never get to a point where we regret a Mitzvah so you have to pray to pray to hm if you're a Jew you pray for it in your Sid every single day if you're not a Jew then you could pray for it in your own with your own words pray for hem to protect you before and after a good deed now in regards to call Hem your father he's the father of all creation he's the creator of all creations so uh yes it's uh obviously the relationship is different for a noahide uh than a Jew because Hashem says that the Jews are the firstborn but that doesn't mean that hm doesn't uh care about the rest of creation he obviously created them and he cares about them enough to make sure that the uh a lot of the sustenance that's given to the world in this world is given to the noahides it's not given to the Jews even though it seems like the Jews are the always the richest people in the world were very few there's 8 billion non-jews and a lot of the non-jews are much wealthier than the Jews uh so hasem does care about his creation and does help and does give miracles to noahides and even El Navi says that uh just like a Jew that's holy uh can get to a level of having so can a non-jew so the Holier person is whether they're Jewish or not the Holier they are the more they can become someone that has thees now of course this is not common and a lot of people that think they have KES are simply delusional they should be instituted into some type of uh building where they uh take the key and throw it in the garbage but nonetheless there are people in the world that are extremely holy that if they continue in their way they can get to a very very high level and even the level ofes even if they're not Jewish so more a person prays to Hashem more he connects or she connects to Hashem the better their life will be uh it's always happy day to see M fundraiser at zero dollar yeah I mean listen uh they said that every all the heresy that they do is free so why should anybody donate to them you know it's a uh it's unbelievable how how the mishna is right when it says that a uh that Pride uh and uh and jealousy will remove a person from this world let's see next question I have no idea what you're saying I'm sorry it's not Hebrew um question can a Jew check their blood pressure or blood sugar on Shabbat for medical reasons uh it depends if there's an issue of P if there's an issue of pish and also if there is a uh if it's an electric device if there's an issue of Life risk then sure a person could even drive on Shabbat if there's an issue of Life risk but if they're just bored and they want to go use one of their thermometers that are uh you know the obviously no also some of these tools are don't have anything electric it's a simply a pump it's just air and there's no problem but again the the reason behind it medical reason is not enough where is the medical reason medical reason because the uh just got into an argument with somebody and he feels a little anxiety or medical reason because the person has heart issues so it depends if the person is seriously uh uh ill then yeah sure uh Jack uh never disappoints always consistent does not flip flop and never tell you what I want to hear to win popularity contest always truth to to your face uh Misha is asking I frequently hear you mention the term mer it how is that defined uh is that like Good Deeds or the Mitzvah and how do I gain Merit to bring my family to do Chua if that's possible okay so the Merit is in essence the uh reward you would get for doing a Mitzvah a Mitzvah is a an obligation that a person has a uh it's translated as good deed but it's not really good deed it's the you know Mitzvah is more a obligation that hasem says that you have to do or it sometimes it's a Mitzvah is not an obligation but rather it's the will of hem the will of hem is always not always obligatory so the point is is that for all intents and purposes a Mitzvah is the will of hem now Merit is like a reward a reward that a person has and that reward is like a balance just like a person has a you know a uh bank balance and a value in their in their bank and their uh portfolio and and so on the Merit is that balance so the uh the higher the Merit account is the higher the Merit account has the more a person has uh you know that's going to help him not just in the next World in heaven and so on but also in this world so if let's say a person does a lot of Mitzvah a lot of good things their Merit balance continues to increase which will entice Hashem to do more of their will so let's say for example if you want to help your family do chuva and change and and become better people and get closer to Hashem and you know you can number one pray for them pray for them and that's each time you pray is increasing your Merit account and perhaps that that in itself could help Hashem send them different messages but sometimes it's not enough sometimes it's not enough or sometimes it takes a very long time so there's another way that uh could help a person's Merit account explode in a positive way and that is helping other people that are not your family do chuva by either directly talking to them and sharing lectures with them or supporting kiru like the work that we do an organization like ours by supporting our work and and investing in donations or time or skill whatever way that a person can contribute to an organization like our that is uh bringing uh the uh the truth to people that is helping people do chuva and get closer to God and end up becoming more righteous the more we do the more people improve so if a person becomes a partner with us by investing a certain amount of money every month every day every year whatever it is or a certain amount of time or skill depends each person in his own level some people have a lot of money and that's what they should use as a tool to help people some people don't have money but they have a skill so they can use that skill some people don't have a skill and they don't have they don't have money but they have time so they can use that time to to become a person that's uh bringing a truth to people in some way or another and volunteer so the point being is the more you help people do chuva and get closer to Hashem the higher your Merit account goes up exponentially exponentially and therefore that Merit account is not only good for you and your life but also it entices Hashem to help your family and the people that you care about more than anything else and the reason why is because Hashem has rules that he gives himself one of them is to reward and punish based on measure for measure measure for measure so if a person steals from somebody the way that hasem punishes them in this world is by somebody stealing from them if a person is a murderer typically you'll see that they're is they get murdered they get killed in an unusual way uh and so on and so forth so when a person helps other people get closer to Hashem and do Chua and learn Torah and do all the good things that they're supposed to do even if they're they don't get a direct benefit from it because they don't know these people they don't know that these people are going to change but they still contribute because they care about hashem's children even if those children are not necessarily their family members because of that Hashem rewards them and gets them their their family to start improving it doesn't happen overnight but nonetheless I've seen it many many times where you see people that help other people do chuva see miracles in their life and they end up having different family members or people that they care about also do chuba now of course hem doesn't remove the free choice what this simply means that Hashem will give them more opportunities than than typically normal to do Chua more truth more clarity about what the truth really is and which is again a reward that uh that they're getting as a result of somebody else's actions so that's one thing that you can do the better your Merit account the more uh inclined hasm is going to be to help the situations you want and in says make his will into your will so he can make your will into his will so when a person makes the will of hem uh as if it's his own will Hashem makes the per the the person's will hashem's will Charlie's asking I read a story regarding OG the giant where he told aam about lot being in trouble in Sodom and gamorra but the sage believed OG was hoping Abraham would be killed uh so he could take Sarah's wife how would that be possible with the huge size difference oh okay you're asking about the intimate aspect of it um well the this is not the only story because uh you see in the uh in no no it says that the grandparents of O which were called the neim uh and the anakim uh they were even bigger than OG but yet the Torah says that they made it with women that were regular humans so how could that be uh we could postulate a few different ways number one uh that the uh just because the body is bigger doesn't necessarily mean that the everything is bigger along with it uh the uh the member of a body doesn't necessarily need to be relative to the size of a person so that's uh one simple logical way that uh you can see that that's the reason why this happened at the time of before the destruction of the world in the generation of Noah needless to say what happened with OG uh that's one way that they uh uh I think that's out of all the things that I uh I've I've asked a similar question before but not about this particular thing but rather about the neim and that's what we came up with that's what we found um but I mean there's other things but I think this is in my opinion the best possible answer uh in order to get straight into ganeden when you pass away do you need to be sinless or just have more merits in SS to go into straight into gun Eden without going to geham uh is almost impossible almost impossible and the reason why is because even if a person is righteous they will have some type of sense that they have to clean up so they may not have to go to geh for millions of years but they still have to clean up some of those sins there's still spiritual filth on there the sh that needs to be burned and or or different parts of gam for different sins so their reward they'll get rewarded for it but their sins they also have to pay for it the only way that a person that I know of uh that's a realistic way uh for them to avoid gum uh you know obviously one non-realistic way or unrealistic I should say uh is uh never sinning but there's a verse in the toah says that uh and there's no such thing as a a righteous person doesn't sin everybody sins so the only other way that's a realistic way that a person uh can avoid G that I can remember of top of my head uh is uh somebody that does somebody that does K why because Z says that K is so significant in the eyes of a that a person helps people do CH in a regular basis it makes it uh or she makes it a very uh big priority in his or her life uh sometimes they teach people sometimes they contribute sometimes they invest uh time and effort whatever it is but not bottom line is kiru is a priority uh number one in their life such a person as says cannot be judged in sham they simply just walk through the the the bed of sh and go straight to heaven that's the only thing that I can remember up the top of my head that uh is a way to avoid gam altoe uh in in a realistic fashion again person could be big tadik and so on but uh let's not uh fool ourselves to think that we're all so righteous you know we could all you know we're more likely to succeed in kiru than be completely righteous uh in every aspect so uh this doesn't mean that a person is allowed to be Wicked and do kiru that's completely a fault because the kiru also has to succeed it has to succeed it has to Value fruits a person can give lectures for 30 years but never make a single person do chba because all he says is the same nonsense that Manis fredman says and duto and Mesa which make people more heretical than they do make them do CH so a person like that is not going to heaven is not going to anywhere but G uh so they may call what they do kiru they may call what they do Torah but in reality it's heresy uh so the actual cure of a person has to be effective and in order for it to be effective a person needs to be righteous but in order for those few sins that they make uh to to be literally as if they're non-existent they have to uh they have to make kiru a priority in their life priority in their life um let's a uh not many people will to do that it's say most people are willing to make their house a priority they're willing to to make their job a priority their stock portfolio their Bitcoin portfolio uh their uh their uh different types of needs and wants that they have their vacation uh they can make a lot of things their priority kiru helping people do Chua helping people uh wake up to the truth not so much not so much when you find people like that that care enough about AEM and his Torah to the point where they make C of their priorities in their life uh directly or indirectly you find yourself very very special people that uh are simply uh willing to sacrifice everything for it everything for it and uh it's it's it's hard to find because the tests are big what's the difference between a cofair and a aorus uh I mean the the rambam goes into it in a uh I mean one is a uh a person that's a denying the existence of AEM another person is a person that is denying specific things within the Torah uh there's also people that uh uh teach this stuff and end up not only being an aorus and a but also a uh what's called causes the masses to public which would be a mean uh and uh that's somebody that that causes the masses to sin so there's a few things in he goes at length into each one of these that I believe I've done a sh about it in the past uh you could either look that up or I could just give you the source uh uh after the sh I could uh you could see exactly what each one he goes into details of each one and so on uh if you have to decide to sell merchandise make a dart board of Manis fredman and the likes oh uh you know the truth is that uh you know when it comes to these people these Manis fredman and these ASAS and dutas and so on I don't particularly have anything against them personally I don't know them personally I don't know what they're like personally uh and generally speaking I don't usually insult them personally on like their weight or their whether they're missing teeth or or their the way their face is shaped like some people make fun of me I don't really care about that stuff my only concern is that they're causing the children of Hashem to go against Hashem without even knowing it uh and uh and and that is the greatest sin that a person can possibly make in this world much worse than idol worship much worse than uh than everything else really because when a person is secular and that person doesn't know the truth okay he doesn't know the truth perhaps he uh thinks the truth is that money is God or that Yos is God or that uh whatever there is no God whatever whatever stupidity that person has now surely that person at some point or another thinks that his actions are wrong and starts questioning them at some point you know Hashem gives the person a test and the person realizes that listen life is not going as I planned my belief that the dollar is God is not exactly working out because now my God is gone because I don't have any dollars left I lost all my money or perhaps he has a lot of God he has a lot of money but he has no life and he has no fun and he has no happiness and he's constantly in a hospital or he divorce cases and so on so at some point Hashem takes the the things that they worship and they idolize and throws it in their face and they realize that they're mistaken and this happens usually multiple times in a person's life which are multiple opportunities that hasem gives a person and in order to do Chua come back to Hashem so they're not completely lost even if that means they'll go to Gom for a while but not forever now the problem is is that with people that are people that teach heretical teachings the reason why they're much worse than Idol worshippers than than than people that are secular completely and so on is because that audience that they have those students that they have that follow their heretical teachings are now in a much worse shape than they were before they listened to them when they were still secular when they were still so-called Idol worshipers why because at least back then they knew they were wrong and they just simply didn't want to change or they thought maybe there's two options option a option b and they're just taking option b but they question their choices but now that they're getting their information from some bearded fellow that it looks like he's 400 years old and he just came from Mount saai or some guy that is pretends to know more than the the biggest rabbis in the world or another person that uh says that he is a part ofid breast or or bmov and so on when they start hearing these people talk and and those people tell them things and they follow it they don't have this inclination anymore that they're wrong they now believe that whatever this person says that's the right path I finally made a change in my life and I'm following this guy which means that there is almost without a miracle without divine intervention there's almost a zero chance of those people ever abandoning the false it again hence the reason why the that a person that's there is no hem doesn't help that person do Chua he doesn't help that person do chuba and if that person is given a chance by hasem in different ways to to wake up and stop you know uh doing all the things that he's doing to cause the masses to uh uh to sin and he doesn't wake up from that hasem removes their desire from doing True by themselves meaning a Manis Freedman an Ashera a will no longer even think that it's remotely possible that they are wrong like everybody is arrogant in public and says oh I know I'm right I know I'm this I know that but in in the in the The Moment of Truth everybody questions themselves when they're not in the right path because Hashem has that conscious in every single one of them us so everybody at some point you know what maybe this maybe that you delve into it maybe I shouldn't do this maybe I shouldn't do that you question it they question themselves when a person is such an evil person that he disregards all of the chances that Hashem gives him and he continues causing the public to sin literally the rambam says the worst possible punishment that a person can get in this world is that hasem removes their free choice removes their free choice of having the ability to do Chua to the extent that he hates them and causes them to live a longer life so he can punish them even worse this isn't AR this is not your own this is M like massive massive punishment when a person really understands that literally AEM has a Target on this person's head and he causes them to live more he gives them even opportunities to sin more just so he could destroy them more and in this it's last verse that pays cash to his haters to their face to destroy them this is one of the uh uh comments on this that this is what abem does to his haters that caus the m to sin so people like that it's I don't need to hate them they already cause enough damage to themselves that uh I feel bad for uh for for the outcome that they're going to get uh so I don't need to focus on their personal lives or any of that stuff I don't really care about any of that stuff but I do feel bad for all of their audience I do feel bad for all the people that follow them hence the reason why I make those videos I don't make those videos because I think that D or that manace or or any of the other people are going to change I'm not delusional uh and I'm also not bored I work 20 hours a day trust me I'm not bored uh it's just that a I feel bad for Their audience so if there's a remote chance that some of that audience still has a purity left in her n and they didn't become like their teacher hopefully they'll see the wakeup call from one of our lectures that yay listen you're listening to filth you're listening to spiritual filth and we've uh succeeded in a very big way to get a lot of people to abandon these Heretics and to wake up uh to wake up I mean it's if you look at for example dras uh the guy is a disaster uh but his his influence on the public has decreased uh you look at uh some of the views on his videos have gone down precipitously the most popular video about duto is a video that I made about him with that has over 40,000 views uh that's the most popular view that's what you're going to first thing you're going to find on Google is that video why wants that message spread on the other hand like Manis fredman look like they're succeeding so you see Manis fredman has more subscribers whether they're real or not I have no idea but nonetheless he has more subscribers on his channel than any other so-called Rabbi okay so he has more subscribers than everybody else uh the subscribers don't necessarily match the views but nonetheless he has it looks like he's he's killing it he has a new video coming out every single day everybody's inviting him he continues to spread more and more heresy it looks like he's winning in my opinion to me that looks like a has removed his ability to do Chua because you see that he is actually getting worse with the time he's getting worse with the time and not better and uh most of his audience is going along with him but nonetheless it looks like he's winning and a person like that to me looks like is written him off uh I hope not I hope that he does chuba because it will be a big Kem If he does chuba and starts teaching the truth but uh from what it looks like it doesn't look like that so far hopefully it does do cha uh so you know as far as you know anytime somebody that listens to my lectures uh tells me that they encountered these people and they yelled at them and cursed them I always rebuke those people I tell them don't curse them don't yell at them there's no need for that simply share the truth that they are mistaken and leading other people astray uh I I think most of the time it starts off out of ignorance and then it continues because of arrogance and it's very very difficult to admit that you're mistaken for such a long time publicly uh so can it be done yes it can be done obviously but nonetheless it's very very hard for a person to swallow their ego and admit that they're mistaken publicly and the reason why you'll see that even a uh when uh when some of these people have been proven wrong in public they're never going to apologize that uh those three stooges that we talked about in the last couple of weeks Tero Mesa and closenberg uh cluster or whatever is uh I forget his name uh they uh we proved that what they were saying was a lie about everything that they said about me and instead of them admitting that it's a lie instead of saying I'm sorry or simply shutting up what they do they spread more lies because it's an ego thing it's a Big E thing so I wish they all would do cha and all of would do cha uh because surely they're are aem's Creations but uh do I think they'll do chba I don't know I don't know I don't know but uh I don't uh benefit out of uh uh out of uh insulting them personally or uh and that's not my intention my intention is to discredit them because they are simply wrong and wrong to the point where they're causing the masses to sin and uh in the eyes of hem they're they're evil in the eyes of Hashem they're evil and uh therefore we have a multiple mitv to fulfill one of them being to protest protest against the evil protest against things that are people that are desecrating aem's name and distorting it to the second uh uh Mitzvah is to rebuke so there's a couple of Mitzvah that we have to fulfill uh when we do it and uh trust me when I tell you this is my least favorite part of everything that we do even though it seems like we have a new enemy every week and we like to do it it's my least favorite part I actually hate it but since there's nobody else doing it we have to do it uh next is asking what's the correct way to verbally dedicate or declare a set of recitations of t for a specific cause or situation when it's not for someone that's sick I mean you can simply have it in your mind uh that uh you're uh reading taing for the sake of such and such for the sake of good health for the sake of having P for the sake of uh hasem giving you a uh uh the right idea that's going to help you in your life uh for whatever issue you have whatever issue you have you simply have it in your mind mayem May the Merit from uh this particular uh recitation of t or this Torah learning session or thisa that I'm giving or this Mitzvah that I'm doing made the Merit of this of such and such mitzvah do the you know bring the uh you know bring you know this type of Salvation that's it that's it uh Jack is saying would never allow the wigs of today the wigs he allowed were show the L today's wigs are so long and they not yep you're 100% right no GD allows the wigs of today and in fact many are actually going against them I even had a call uh come about a month and a half ago two months ago from a rabbi from Lakewood uh who uh discovered uh some of our work and uh asked me to make him a uh a USB and uh with with all of the material and to send it to them because they want to uh distribute it among uh among all of the uh you know all the K over there in Lakewood and other places uh since we've uh worked on this particular topic more than anybody else at least to my knowledge over the last five six seven years however long it's been um there's a lot of material and a lot of work has happened and a lot of people did CH because of it continues continues to Bear fruits many times you'll see different uh articles or different things being said that actually come from our work even if it doesn't Quote us uh you know it's ites a lot of the stuff that's out there today that's showing the proofs of wigs being from idolatry and forbidden a lot of it started here at uh B uh people you know sometimes forget to quote the source happens uh dvor is asking if a non-jew Christian died without doing chuba is there a way that you can help the could help them out um I mean it is very difficult to say the least uh very difficult uh but the uh if a person does a um you know Mitzvah in their name uh that can potentially help the most helpful thing that a person can do is to give away their money that they had that not that the person has the Survivor has but that the person that died had let's say for example uh you know uh Steve is the uh Survivor of his uh father or brother or some type of friend named uh Joe you know Joe died and Joe died without doing chuba and he died being a Christian or or or or or whatever he is and Joe left him I don't know a million dollar donation a million dollar inheritance if Steve really loves Joe he would give away every single penny that Joe left him to for the sake of t for the sake of helping do for the sake of uh the world discovering the truth about AEM which is the tah of course that's what he would do take all of his money and give it because if you're taking his money it's as if he did it and he can help himself more than anybody else more than anybody else if that's not possible because either he doesn't have any money or uh or he didn't leave it to you or something like that then you could pretty much do anything else that you can pray for him do K in his name donate in his name uh do everything else and perhaps it could it could help to some extent uh it all depends on how much you do it all depends on how much you do and I mean if a person does a lot in a person's name they could do a lot they could do a lot but if a person thinks that they're going to save their Idol worshipping friend with a $100 check uh and that's going to get them out of gam then you know they're not being realistic they're not being realistic a person live the life of sins is not going to be saved with $100 not going to be it's going to be a lot of sacrifices and uh uh it's going to be very very uh extensive process very extensive Michael these rabbis on some of them certify restaurants as kosher can this certification even be trusted since they're promoting heresy and other aspects generally speaking these rabbis that uh are in the kosher industry they themselves typically are not the MH they're not the MH in the restaurants uh most of the time it's simply a formality where they have a position perhaps they get paid they manage the money uh they more likely the treasurer and the face of the organization but not the actual employee that's checking all the meat and so on and so forth so with that being the case I don't believe you have to you have to any concerns um and uh because there's a lot of other people that get into it they have the and especially the uh if it's meat uh there's even more intensive uh and more people involved that are separated from those uh from those Heretics uh another question does cabala influence ala in any way I'm confused how they interact are they completely separate do they influence each other yes sometimes cabala does influence ala sometimes it does but the uh the uh the tradition is uh is that if uh the uh cabala agrees with the we go with the cabala meaning as long as it doesn't contradict it but if the cabala cont prcts the AL we go with the AL we go with the like we never go uh with the cabala over Al uh as if it's Superior only if it doesn't contradict it and it doesn't negate it in some way uh so that's that's when we go for I mean it's the so-called rationalist would make you think otherwise but you know is always priority over everything else Nella is asking what about teachings of the that people who went to ganed alive and some others did they go to G first or they went straight to ganeden if they went straight to ganeden does K discuss what kind of merits they had yeah uh I mean never died so he didn't go to Ganan he just simply never died he's still alive till this day and he has to stay alive because the only way that the Messiah can become a messiah is if a prophet is if a prophet uh sanctifies him he's uh he puts the special oil on him and since there's no more Prophecy in the world hasem had to leave somebody so what did he leave he leave Ali Eli is the uh is the prophet that's going to make the mashia mashia without elahi mashia is can't become mashia somebody just like you uh the uh um the prophet had to uh make the king a king by putting the special oil on him uh which would have a supernatural effect same concept with the mashiah so the prophet is still alive uh the uh elzar went into G Eden uh with with his clothes on meaning he's one of 10 people that never died Yeshua benua is also one of theim in the one of the in the it's mentioned many times it's perhaps one of my favorite if not my favorite Sage uh uh that went G Eden uh without a uh you know without going to Gom at all uh now these people were uh generally speaking not just righteous not just but uh they were also people that did kiru and they benefited the public uh they benefited the public by teaching they benefited the public by helping people do chuba uh and that's a one common denominator uh D is asking Manis Manis Freedman actually said the mashiah was coming next week that was about a year and a half ago uh yeah he's a he's like a he's like I don't know I don't know I honestly don't know how people watch him but you know uh kakowski not closenberg oh yeah yeah yeah kakowski yeah uh what about the teaching of the regarding the people that went to ganeden alive oh you asked the same question twice okay all right so that's a uh that's that's that I finished all the questions you guys asked um one question that somebody uh asked earlier today that I think is worth it for all of us to learn is that somebody said that they heard somewhere that the uh rambam never mentioned UHA uh in the 13 principles of Faith so some idiots say that perhaps the rambam didn't believe in uh there's nothing further from the truth but also nothing further from showing that these people don't know how to read a Ram uh because why the rambam gave 13 principles of faith and he gave something called reward and Punishment now reward and punishment is not reward and Punishment in this world but rather reward and Punishment in the Eternal World in Eternal world because the rambam comments on it and says that any good that a person gets in this world for some Mitzvah that they did is simply because AEM is is giving that person another opportunity for that mitvah based on the says Mitzvah based on the mishna that says the reward for a Mitzvah is another Mitzvah what kind of reward is that so the ramb says since the Mitzvah is so great regardless of what Mitzvah you do it's so great that if you took all of the good in the world that everybody has ever had since the beginning of mankind until today and you combin it all into a box that amount of good that amount of pleasure is not even a down payment on the smallest Mitzvah that we have therefore it is impossible for hasem to truly reward you for any Mitzvah in this world so the only real reward that he can give you in this world is by giving you another Mitzvah meaning you give money for the sake of Torah hasem will give you more money why because you show that you like to give money AEM me rewards and punishes measure for measure measure for measure therefore you gave money he'll give you money in order to do even more mitv that's why it's you give you give it 10% hasm says you'll become wealthy so the point being is is that when a person gets good things in this world these are not rewards these are simply more tools that Hashem is giving you as a result of your actions your good actions sometimes a person gets more uh money and and and and things that look good as a punishment it's not always guaranteed as a reward that's why the uh the say that when a person uh uh says that when a person loses money he uh he shouldn't be sad he should know that everything is for the good everything is great and so on and if he inherits a lot of money or he wins a lot of money he shouldn't celebrate over it why cuz that actually may be punishment that actually may be a punishment you shouldn't uh uh you know celebrate now of course you Al always be grateful to Hashem but don't assume naturally that anybody that just got a $10 million inheritance that's a reward from Hashem sometimes it's not only not a reward it's actually a punishment it's actually a punishment so people's understanding of of reward and punishment is is incorrect now the rambam says that the reward in this world is not a reward it's simply a tool for you to make more Mitzvah the punishment in this world is a wakeup call in order for you to do chuva the real reward and the real punishment are in the next World and that's why the rambam says you have to believe in which is believing in reward and Punishment if a person does not believe in reward and Punishment they do not have a share in the world to come why you didn't believe in the in the world to come by not believing in in a in reward and Punishment and therefore you lost your so that's why a person that truly understands what ramb says which again sometimes read the ramb could be confusing so you see what the say what the say you look at the r there's a I don't know if there's any other that has as much commentary on his work as the rambam does there's literally a a a an ocean of commentary on the RAB ocean there are books written about the commentaries on the rambam which means that if a person has respect for and thereby he reviews what they wrote within 30 seconds he receives answers to all of the heretical questions that people say and uh and distort what the rambam says many many people distort what the rambam says in a uh uh in his uh words and so on but uh it's sad it's sad it just shows that they don't have any respect for anybody but themselves but the point being is the rambam does mention reward and Punishment and uh he even goes into details uh he talks about G in uh he talks about people going to Gom forever uh so where is Gom Gom is not this world even the worst things that I've dealt with and the worst things that our Jewish people have dealt with like Holocaust and things of that nature are unfortunately they're not they're nothing in comparison to Gom nothing and uh that's a sad reality if a person truly understood what Gom is they would literally cry all day asking Hashem just not to take him there without even having being concerned about heaven that's what says person that understands what Gom is would simply cry to hasem just don't take me there so the r mentions Gom mentions Gom several times and he says some people go to Gom permanently so obviously Gom is not this world so it's a uh it's people that try to distort uh the Torah typically like to use either the prophets like the Christian missionaries because that's the most vague part out of the tanak so it's easy to distort their words or they use the rambam especially his work of guide of the perplex because that's the most difficult part to understand uh hence the reason why a lot of will tell you do not learn unless you are an expert in all of the basic fundamentals of t meaning you've reviewed the multiple times uh you've studied the the multiple times you studied multiple times you're you're an expert in everything else why because without that you simply are not suitable to understand the not understand you know you could read it a million times won't understand anything I have people sending me questions all the time and every single time within 30 seconds I know that these people are confused only because they read or somebody told them something about about gu of the perplex of the rambam which neither the teacher nor the student understood and therefore they're confused therefore they're confused even though technically the book was supposed to be a book that was supposed to answer questions of the confused but surely we see that the level of 800 plus years ago at the time of the rambam was a world apart than the level of intellect of the standard person today the level of standard of today is closer to a monkey than it is the level of people that had 800 years ago at the time of the rambam so in his generation an average person would understand what he said in the today no chance in the world that the average person or even the average person that learned some Torah would understand what is and this I heard from Scholars that are not just Scholars because they go to a for a few hours a day Scholars that have written dozens and dozens of books Scholars that are recognized around the world as Scholars Scholars that are very reputable very big and accepted and admired and around the Torah world it's not a uh it's people are simply clueless and of course the natural inclination of a person is to always want to do what they're not allowed to do everybody wants to do the mitvah that they're not supposed to do not supposed to do you're supposed to work on your modesty you're supposed to work on your uh ethics you're supposed to work on your character traits but instead you want to go and uh deliver uh uh bread for uh for some people in your community so there's or you are supposed to work on your generosity you're supposed to work on your this you were supposed to work on that say no no instead I'm gonna read T mod day I'm gonna read T mod day this unfortunately is one of the diseases that's in the world where people don't realize they're spiritually sick they're spiritually sick and uh they don't even realize that they're spiritually sick so that's why would wake up people on a regular basis and uh try try to tell them the truth when it was possible uh was a one of the one of the and one time came to his attention there was one very wealthy Jew that was as stingy as can possibly be never gave a dollar OFA never gave a dollar OFA so one day this uh person came to the ra came to he says you know I read every day but not just reading a few I read the whole book you know how long it takes me how long he tells him it takes him a short period of time and so on and he invests in it and so on so instead of getting the compliment that he was expecting this this uh this cheap wealthy person says to him what abouta for the poor people no not for me it's not for me I like I like T better I like reading Psalms better so says you know what t means you know what t means you know what the whole lesson of all of T all of Psalms is don't forsake your poor brother which means that you're reading T but you don't understand anything you don't understand what it even means T why you want a mitvah that you're not even supposed to do sometimes people ask me these silly questions about different things they want to do this they want to do that people always want to do MIT what they're not supposed to always want to do MIT what is not supposed to it came recently there's been a uh newsletter of some kind that people have asked me about oh we should fast three days on such and such so we can lower the decree you want to fast fast for a week for all I can is that going to lower the decree most likely not you know what's going to lower the decree get to do Chua it's better that you take three days that you're not eating and take the money that it cost you for those three days and donate for K that's going to help a lot more than you not eating for three days people think oh yeah I'm going to fast for three days fasting for three days for most people unless you're learning toah the whole time it's just a diet it's just a diet what do they do okay they I'm GNA fast what they do they sleep all day they sleep all day you think that's a fast no it's a diet but people want to fast they want to fast three days they want to go deliver uh Kal to the community they want to give everybody a ride they want to do all types of things instead of doing the MIT what they're supposed to do so this is the Satan Influence People influencing people to do what they think is a mitv in order to take away their attention from the real mitv from the real responsibility that they have the real responsibility they have this is sometimes also you find in a uh in people in that are intending to do good intending to do good but they're not listening to they're listening to dot of a single person or dot of their Bank dot of the uh their accountant that of their uh you know their friends she's not going to go to the sh because none of her friends is coming he's not going to donate because he's not getting a tax write off because he lives in a different country and his accountant says listen just donate to the local synagogue because you'll get a tax write off yeah but the local synagogue the last time it made somebody do cha was never but this organization makes people do chuva by the dozens every day yeah but they're in America and you won't get a tax write off so you won't donate to this organization that's in America because you won't get a tax write off so you know this is Satan that's donation from Satan or sometimes people will donate money and they'll think that they have the right to rebuke you because they donate some money listen Rabbi I'm a big supporter for a long time I think you need to change they give you a whole thing and they need they figure that they own you because they donate 50 bucks or 50,000 or whatever they donate this is the Ridiculousness of of the world so a person needs to be realistic realistic with where they stand what their responsibility is what their goal is our goal is to emulate Hashem that's our goal if a person wants to emulate hem that means their number one number one responsibility in this world is to spread the Torah in everywhere that they possibly can to get as many people closer to hem as possible where those people are coming from from houses cish houses secular houses Zionist houses not Jewish houses Jewish houses whatever houses you're getting more people to learn the truth of the T you're doing your job you're doing your job of course the Jew is always priority over the non-jew if you're a Jew you have to get more Jews to do chuba but needless to say if you don't have a Jew to help and the only people next to or non-jews help them too help them get closer to hasem be a light to the Nations there's no question there's no question that wants as many people as possible to do chuva and learn the truth if a person is going to do that and make that their priority in life they are fulfilling their mission and they will succeed in all the good things that they do but if they do things because of some type of financial interest or things of that nature they're making a uh they're making a very very big mistake they're making a very big mistake so we will continue to learn we'll continue to do kir we'll continue to partner with all the wonderful people that uh want to uh help us uh spread the Torah around the world and we'll see each other again next week amen amen [Music] 7 years of lectures 7 months of film editing countless hours
