KI TITZE WAR AGAINST EVIL WITHIN - STUMP THE RABBI (215)

we're back here on our Tuesday night but unlike uh typically where we have our series of the war of Amal tonight we're actually uh doing the stump the rabbi uh combination of reasons one of them being the fact that I'm just getting a lot of questions from you guys and the parasa is uh very very extensive and relevant to what we spoke about just uh on Sunday which a lot of you are getting bashem giving a lot of feedback from a lot of you are getting from it where we discussed the evil inclination and more details about it the more we know about the enemy the uh the more we have tools to defeat him tonight's shu is uh going to be for the uhat ofua yehud yob uh and also we thank very much for our sponsors and this sh is going to be for the of Ben sah ran s an tal San Leana s s aav and all of all the righteous no that continue to learn together with us continue to support the organization and continue to share all of these lectures uh also as a reminder for you guys we uh have uh our uh campaign our rashash Shana campaign High holidays campaign coming soon uh this is going to be uh a extraordinary uh campaign uh not only because of uh uh we are expecting a great feedback from everyone but also we're doing something that uh we haven't done before each year we have to do something else last year we did a big uh event with uh uh 3,000 cim and and uh you know obviously raised money to help as many Jewish families as possible we reached thousands and thousands of people uh and uh one of the things that uh we've been trying to figure out uh is what are we working with this year how many people need help uh and this is what we've been occupying ourselves and um what we realized is that we have uh a little over 10,000 people a little over 10,000 people knocking on our doors right now asking for help for the holidays uh so we're talking about uh over a th000 families and over 10,000 Jewish people uh in Israel in yush in NATA in teria uh in different parts of Israel that uh are uh looking for us uh to uh to be uh the uh the helping hand for these holidays and um we simply can't say no we are doing whatever we can andem we're going to have a two events during the high holidays for two teams of aim close to a thousand are going to be learning the Shas twice t b twice uh so anyone that gets involved uh in the campaign we'll see that you'll have opportunities to sponsor the Shas uh over there like you did uh similar to what we did last year but there's also going to be uh some other opportunities other things that uh we've never had before uh one of them is going to be that uh we uh uh the the um any amount obviously of donation is accepted but those of you that are able and willing to uh to help us on a larger scale will'll have the opportunity to have your names added as uh one of the uh sponsors and Friends of the organization in our uh next book uh will be we're planning on the organization and myself uh are planning on publishing several books uhm in the uh this next 12 months and if you uh would like to have your name uh for be as a partner in this uh this campaign is going to give you that opportunity uh to be one of the uh people uh that is going to be uh partners with us uh in these books and this is again you're not donating for the books you're donating to help uh the poor people people of Israel but as a uh show of gratitude from us uh we're We'll add your name to the books so there's going to be three different levels uh and then there's going to be the general donation for whoever wants to donate just simply uh whatever they want uh so this is uh one thing that we'll have also and uh there was another thing but I'm forgetting it it's a little difficult to remember everything when you have 10,000 people uh knocking on your door uh but for the for the opportunity and that we already said yes even though we have no idea whatsoever where we're going to get the money to do all of it uh but never let us down before and he will never let us down in the future especially since all we're doing is to uh to help his children to help is uh get closer to him to uh to celebrate him and to sanctify his name all over the world uh another thing to uh remind you guys anyone that wants to do uh something cool that uh you know a lot of you have uh uh enjoyed is if you subscribe to the YouTube channel as a paid subscriber and then send us your uh confirmation that you've subscribed as a pay subscriber to events BH torah.org events BH tor.org you could also send it to the other emails or the other whatsapps that we have but events that uh at BH tor.org if you send us a confirmation that you're actually are a paid subscriber we will send you one of these cool uh tumblers uh straight to your home wherever it is we've sent it all over the world we've sent it to South Africa we've sent it to Canada we've sent it to uh England we've sent it to uh literally all over the world you know don't worry about the payment this is again another way that we show our appreciation uh for all our supporters but also it's another way to remind people of Hashem there's nothing better than reminding people of hem uh you know on a daily basis with simply a uh tumbler so this is one of the things we give as a gift for people that are paid subscribers any level uh of course the higher the more you support us the better that we do uh and anyone that wants to donate and help us just generally and for all the things that we're doing there's just simply too much to list right now uh you can go and donate at BH tor.org or bash.org and now on with the show so we uh decided that we're going to do uh stump the rabbi tonight uh where the just simply a lot of T A lot of tah that we have to cover uh and uh we figured that this is the right time because I'm getting a lot of questions from everyone especially based on the Shure that we did on Sunday it certainly uh uh woke up a few people uh from people people that are not religious all types of people uh I've told me that they uh saw it as a uh uh simply a life-changing uh lecture and we want to expand upon it and especially when you have all of it in the there's nothing better than that and we make time to for your questions after that so starts off with the famous verse that the translation is when you uh when you will go out to war against your enemies and Hashem your God will deliver him into your hand and you will capture his captives so before we get into the verse itself we know that the Bal the masters of musar use this verse as a symbolic for the war against our own evil inclination meaning the same evil monster that's within every single one of us that we discussed on Sunday night in the uh uh in the series aboutut that's same evil monster that's trying to destroy us that same evil monster that is uh always awake even while we're sleeping always thinking about us even if we forgot them always considering something a big deal even if we don't think it's a big deal that's same evil monster within us this particular verse is the verse that the masters of musar say is symbolic of that war the war against the evil inclination and the truth is we we are living in a generation of ignorance and confusion when it comes to the definition of evil what is evil because some people going to tell you that one person's evil perhaps is another person's pleasure so who's to say what's evil now as demented and strange as that sounds this is really the logic that's out there today across the pl the planet and really it has always it's always been that way and unless are living a life of Torah the world becomes very very confusing and the picture as far as what Clarity is concerned uh becomes uh very blurry so there's nothing better than the t itself to not only guide us to not only teach us but to clarify to us this specific thing what is evil in the eyes of hem who was the one that created everything including the concept of evil now even though he created Adam and Eve and he gave them the ability to do good and bad and they chose to do good in a lot of ways but made a mistake and did bad in that one particular way where they ate from for the forbidden fruit God did not make them sin he created the ability to sin but he never wanted him the sin he never told them to sin in fact he told them the opposite he simply gave them the ability this is the same concept as if your parents give you a car you're a brand new driver you're a teenager they give you the ability to drive places by giving you a car didn't give you the permission to drive fast and and without control and in fact whether you drive safely or don't drive safely is not within their hands you have now the ability to do whatever it is that you please they simply gave you the ability gave us life and in this life we have the ability to do whatever it is that we want we have the free will if if you will to do whatever pleases us but God tells us everything that you do will have a consequence if you do good the consequence will be good if you do bad meaning evil in the eyes of hem the consequence will be bad both in this world and the next as we learned from the in the past lecture that a person that follows the evil inclination thinks and deludes thems to thinking to believing that they're going to at least enjoy their time enjoy the sin not realizing that that sin that evil that's in the eyes of Hashem evil is going to make the person lose both in this world and the next and in fact had they not done the evil they would have had even more joy in this world and the next but of course in order for us to go in the way of Hashem we have to know more than anything else what is evil because good is a little bit easier to identify we have mitv and we also have common sense it's common sense that if you help somebody you know cross the street because they can't if you help somebody pick up something because it's too heavy if you help somebody financially because they don't have the ability to uh to make ends meet everyone knows every hasem put Common Sense within all of us everyone knows that's good both righteous nodes as well as the uh Wicked ones both righteous Jews as well as the wicked ones no what's good evil on the other hand gets a little shaky why because evil is manipulated by the yet by the Satan himself in order to confuse a person to think that evil is good and that's one of the things that makes a lot of people fall into his trap now before we learn a little more about about the Satan himself from the the section of it that we did not read in essence a continuation of what we read on Sunday let's see what AEM tells us in this week's par that will give us a little bit again this is not an all-encompassing lecture that's going to cover everything that Hashem ever said this is just simply some things that are mentioned in this par that we will compare to our society today you know you see that the uh the world was shocked today the Jewish world was shocked today uh where uh there was a uh discovery made by the Israeli Army where they discovered the uh Cave the place where theas terrorist murdered the hostages and uh they thought again the Israeli government thought that it's a good idea for whatever strange reason or another to actually publicize the video of what they found now you can argue for both sides it's a good idea because it'll show people this is real what's happening and so on or you could argue that it's a terrible idea why because the world has already seen much worse things and didn't care and in fact went against us anyway so why shock people again why torment people again why give people more nightmares either way we all know that this is all coming from the hand of hem where in the month of el is reminding us nobody's promise tomorrow is reminding us that even though the Sanhedrin stopped executing the Sinners the Sanhedrin stopped you know uh uh you know telling people what the law is the S sanedrin that's spoken about in this week's par is no longer here until the mashah comes but as the says the saned is not executing but that does not mean that the capital punishments are gone took place took the place of the Sedin meaning that if somebody was supposed to get a stoning p uh death penalty for things like violating Shabbat idolatry things of that nature the times of the The Times ofu They would Stone them a process that the clarifies as much more gruesome than just simply throwing stones but that doesn't happen anymore for the last couple of thousand years but the says it still happens just a different way AEM does it how car accident plane crash and all types of other horrible things the says that if one example is if an animal runs them over this obviously in today's world is if a car runs them over and just a week and a half ago I was sitting down with some family and uh somebody asked a question about uh what is and I explained to them that it's a one of the 36 sins in the T that cuts off a soul from their connection to hasem and and as far as in actuality the punishment is delivered by hasem now at the time of the time mosu would have been uh these punishments most of the time most of them would have been uh punishments by the bedine death penalty but uh for the last couple of thousand years hasem does it and the says how does somebody know that there was a they were punished for somebody that dies under the age of 50 that means that they got punished for is somebody that a um sees their kids die during their lifetime that's an and multiple other examples are mentioned in to and not 24hour passed from that uh night and uh we got news that uh somebody within the community nice people no one has a bad thing to say about the people as far as personality and but unfortunately we're not Torah observant and uh as a result of that they suffered seeing their 29-year-old son who was extremely successful in material in this world but it completely Bang rupt when it came to life of tah and unfortunately may may this be to his Merit and Elevate his n to a much better place than we understand uh a place uh people go to and unfortunately this 29y old uh young man died in a horrible car crash driving a half a million dollar car now I know that this is uncomfortable news no one wants to hear but that's the point of the lectures that's the point of the tah it's to understand what is the truth someone that's looking for lies someone that's looking for sugar coating they should simply go somewhere else listen to somebody singing to you somebody telling you stories about how much everyone is righteous and hasm loves everyone no matter what but if a person wants to know what the Torah actually says unless they're willing to read it study it with they're simply never going to know and they're going to Simply live aive I live that kind of a life for most of my life I listen to people tell me that everything is great despite the being the opposite I was lied to for many years where people only cared about me giving them money but they didn't care about where my soul was going they didn't care about where my life was going and the moment that I found out what the truth is I knew that I'm not the only one I'm not the only victim of this world full of lies so this is a very important place for everyone to read you don't even need to be a Torah scholar to understand much of what's actually being said here in order to understand what God thinks is evil in the beginning of the par it talks about a war and of course nobody likes War even people that fight Wars don't like Wars why War has horrible things but then it talks about captives now right away tell us that if there are captives that means this is not a war of Mitzvah meaning this is not a war God commanded us to go uh go on like for example the war against amalik or the war against the Canaanite Nations because over there God specifically told us you're not allowed to have any captives everyone has to die meaning complete Anni annihilation of the Enemy No Mercy Mercy is not allowed there's no prisoners there's no captives there's no nothing there's no peace treaties the way that God says go to war is very very different than the way the Israeli government goes to war Israeli go government goes to war with almost a uh like a they give the enemy a notice that they're going to attack him listen we're going to blow up your house leave right listen we're going to throw some Bombs over there leave get all the terrorists to a different location why don't you just give the soldiers water guns and and that's it but just make sure the water is not too cold because then perhaps they're going to catch a cold maybe you can give them some towels maybe you could drop instead of the letters of warning that they send the enemy on a regular basis and all the uh YouTube videos they put on and the Tik Tok videos they put on to tell people of how developed the Israeli Army is instead of doing that why don't you use the budget to send towels for the water guns because you're disabling the soldiers from surviving this war literally you have leaders that hate their own people I know the world thinks the opposite the world thinks that the Jews and you know the Israelis are being vicious and so on and so forth but that's anyone that's unfamiliar and just looking at things from the perspective of Television is going to think that anyone that actually understands the case from on the ground and living with these people and knowing what's actually happening sees that it's quite the opposite but either way we see that we're not winning a war that should have been won within literally 24 hours on one end they're telling us that the Israeli uh government has uh the the uh the most developed and most sophisticated the most blah blah blah Army on other end we can't beat a bunch of degenerates with flip-flops doesn't make any sense doesn't make any sense here in the Torah tells us yes there's going to be Wars there's a war of mitvah no captives no hostages destroy everyone and then there's a war that's a discretionary war in a discretionary War they're going to be captives because you're not commanded to kill everybody and of course the Torah tells us that Hashem understands his creation he says when you're going to have some captives for sure the yet the evil inclination is going to come to you specifically at that time where everybody is full of hormones full of testosterone full of everything and all of a sudden one of the captives catches your eye young Soldier full of hormones and one of the captives it's a non-jewish woman looks pretty in your eye looks absolutely beautiful in your eye and to says and you will see among the captives a woman who is beautiful full in appearance and you will desire her and you will take her to yourself for a wife you shall first bring her into the midst of your house she shall shave her head and let her nails grow she shall remove the Garment of her captivity from upon ourselves and she shall sit in your house and weep for her father and her mother for a full month after that you may come to her and live with her and she shall be a wife to you so here we see that the Torah in essence understands the creation and this the sages teach us is one of the places where is allowing the yet to win if you will where he knows that if he does not permit this particular situation people are going to end up making things much worse meaning they'll sin anyway the in the middle of a war is uncontrollable people are going to fail so to make something lesser evil than the evil that it can be Hashem says okay you can take you saw that beautiful non-jewish woman I'll let you have her but there are specific instructions of how and in essence the garat teaches us that the instructions of letting shaving our hair letting her uh nails grow letting her weep for a month and uh then after that finally she converts to Judaism and uh then you can marry her that whole thing is simply to give the person the idea that he's permitted to go with her but then give the enough time to calm down and hopefully he no longer desires her after that month and just simply lets her go he's not allowed to to sell her he's not allowed to make any money out of her he simply lets her go go back to her life do whatever she wants that's the hope so here we see one of the many examples in the Torah where hasem knows the evil inclination that's within every single one of us you want to go to a certain party a certain School a certain job a certain place certain time there's a lot of things that that you can do but there has to be specific ways of doing them you want to go to a bar mitzvah a wedding a whatever some type of party okay it's fine just make sure there's no mixed dancing between males and females you want to go to a restaurant no problem go to a kosher restaurant you want to go to work make money no problem just make sure it's an ethical business and you're not in some Tye of predatory lending or some type of scam business you want to get married no problem just make sure you marry if you're Jewish you marry a Jewish person you're not Jewish don't marry a Jewish person marry a non-jew simple meaning Hashem is allowing us to do anything that we want but there Specific Instructions for everything and therefore anytime we violate those instructions that's in essence what turns it into evil evil is in essence the opposite of the will of hem Hashem said a a person doesn't want to do it a they want to do three they want to do Circle they want to do something else they don't want to do you know anything remotely close to what hasm says Hashem says when you do the opposite of what I said not only do you lose out of all the benefits that you would get if you do what I said but you actually will get punished for doing something that's contrary to it now even here Hashem tells us there are times where something is forbidden and it's clear everyone is clear that it's forbidden to kill people unless you're defending yourself everyone is clear that rape is forbidden there's no permissible way everyone is clear that you're not allowed to steal everyone is clear that idolatry is forbidden everyone is clear they are not allowed to drive on Shabbat if you're a Jew if you're a non-jew drive away wherever you want everyone's clear about those things the problem is that when a person has the evil evil inclination as their teacher as their motivator as their inspiration without even even realizing it they'll find a way to make the Forbidden allowed and here they'll stop here and say look look God allows you to marry a non-jew without reading all the instructions furthermore they won't read into what else it says where hasem says well you know what even in this particular exception in a to where you're in a war you've won the war everything is finished now you have a captive that's non-jewish woman and you cannot control yourself you're willing to wait a month and she makes herself a lot more ugly she's not even allowed to wear the same clothes she wore when you saw her why because it was the way of the Gentiles and during war that when they saw that they were losing the war all the women would glor uh glorify themselves and make themselves wear very expensive jewelry and clothing and so on in order to make themselves attractive to the soldier so they would marry them in order to save thems so one of the things T says specifically she shall remove the Garment of her captivity this is not prisoner clothes this is the clothes she was wearing when you saw her that made you so attracted to her just to make herself ugly wait a month so person say okay so as long as I wait a month good it's good no it's still not good no one says that it's you should do it even though it's allowed still not recommended why because it says later right after it look at the things that happen here everyone has heard about the wayward son but even before we see the Wayward Son which the says he married a woman a that was after a battle converted her and so on and he ended up having a wayward son of Shalom and he's the one that taught all of us that he made that mistake he thought that because it's allowed according to the Torah therefore it's good but then to says no but it specifically said the Wayward Son teachings right after this teachings of the captive woman that's beautiful to teach you that if you marry her even if you follow the instructions there going to be a bad outcome you'll have bad kids furthermore before we even get to the Wayward Son there's going to be a person that's going to say you know what and I've heard this before somebody asked me about this question he dealt with a very difficult divorce he was very very bitter about his ex-wife and so on they didn't really want to get remarried and somehow along the way you heard about the concept of pish which was a maid servant that the was permissible in the Biblical times for kings and so on he thought you know what maybe I'll marry a p leish well not married you I have a p leish marriage without marriage explain them it's not allowed and so on but anyway how does somebody get to such an understanding simple a person thinks that they're much more righteous than what they really are so before we even learn about the wayward son we actually see that Hashem says if a man will have two wives one beloved and one hated and they both bear him Sons The Beloved one and the hated one the firstborn son and the firstborn son is born to the hated wife then it shall be that on the day that he bequeaths to his son whatever will be him is meaning he gives the inheritance he is not permitted to confer firstborn status to the son of the beloved one ahead of the son of the hated one who is the true firstborn rather he must set apart the true firstborn the son of the hated one so here the toah is telling us a guy married two wives this according to the to you're allowed to marry more than one wife as long as the first wife permits it today it's not done anymore with the exception of a few places in the world Yemen Morocco still a few people that do it in the Safari world but in the ashkanazi world uh it's forbidden according to Ru for the last thousand years but anyway here toah talks about somebody that's marrying a second wife and it says you can to have he's going to have one hated wife one life wife that he loves like AB ainu he had so person says oh see so it was allowed for it's allowed here in the two wives why should I have the bad son say no no you're not got permission from got permission from to marry her girl but it still didn't necessarily turn out as good as you would think and that's actually what to is saying you think that if you marry this pish or this captive woman that's uh beautiful you it'll end up being good or perhaps worst case scenario it'll be a wayward son but at least the marriage will be fun no no to already tells you even the marriage itself will be miserable even the marriage itself will be miserable even that will be miserable where you'll see you'll end up hating her the beauty that you were attracted to in the beginning will disappear very very quickly and in essence the Tora says uses the language as this is guaranteed meaning that the time will you uh that it shall be that you did not desire her meaning it's guaranteed that you will no longer be attracted to her anymore guaranteed if you marry a woman only because of her looks guaranteed that it's going to turn out bad and not only that you're going to want oh yeah but maybe it's something is going to come out of it to says no no no even the privilege that a got despite having Ishmael as a son which was a problem of its own still Abraham got the permission to give all of his inheritance to here the Torah says no no you're not Abraham even that you're not allowed you get the firstborn son with the woman that you hate you still have to give the firstborn rights to the son from the woman that you hate in so many words showing us again the particulars of how when a person starts to navigate through the law based on their desires only bad comes out we go further because there's a lot of material so we'll go to the next one the rebellious son many people think long term on some things in their life and very very short term on other things when it comes to money and savings and building people tend to think long term they want to have a nest egg for the future for retirement even though they're only 20 years old and just entered the workforce they want to have a house for kids even though they just got married and they're not even sure if they're pregnant yet for the first time they want to have all of these different Security even though they're not even sure they're going to live in the same city next year year they want to have all of these things for the future people build a whole lot on a future they may not even live to see but that's just the reality but they want to think long term long term but when it comes to certain things especially when it comes to desires and lust people allow the to take control and the the Satan convinces them to think short term ah come on you only live once ah come on it's only tonight ah come on just have a bite have a taste have a this have a that come on it's only today it's only this one time opportunity last chance you know all of this stuff that goes into a person's head and poisons his mind or her mind to think that it's only a short-term thing it's only tonight the party just go it's only this it's only that only only only what they don't realize is that even if you don't want to think about long-term judgment like we've discussed many times over the years and had a whole film about it Gom kafak all that stuff in so many words Real Life After Life after this life there's real life and that life is eternal and what that eternity presents is based on what you cooked in this life even if a person doesn't want to think that they want to think I'm living in this world right now I want to think about this world right now this segment tells it all why a woman's going to think listen what's the big deal so I have a relationship with a guy before I get married so I have a relationship with a girl before I get married so what what's the big deal what's the worst that could happen you know what what she's going to get pregnant going to get pregnant it's not planned whatever you know we go to the doctor and commit murder but you know that has a different uh name for it they call abortion just to you know pacify people's conscience they don't want to call it murder they don't realize how many curses these things bring upon a person's life and they're not going to realize it you know when they're going to realize that promiscuity is the curse of all curses that immorality is the curse of of all curses that immodesty is the curse of all curses you know when they're going to realize that literally they curse thems and I'm not talking about because you know violating Shabbat and eating pork and I'm simply talking about all issues of morality being emodest being promiscuous intermarriage all of those things that have to do with morality just that brings no end to the vers and this is both for Jews and Gentiles obviously much more extraordinary for the Jews because they have more laws but nonetheless immorality immodesty all of those things bring curses on a person's life to the maximum and everyone sees it when when they have kids once they have kids they realize they made them the stake of their life acting the way they did doing the things they did why because whatever you did your kids will be worse whatever way you did your kids will be much worse and people end up literally suffering as prisoners in their own houses as younger and older parents watching their little terrorists inside their house house torture them torment them curse them out disrespect them in public Whenever However and they have no idea what to do they have relationships they wish did not exist with their kids kids calling their parents by their first names kids stealing from them kids doing things literally by definition what the way word child is described in this parasa where the Torah says that there was a wayward child who was a glutton of meat and a guzzler of wine in so many words Rashi explains to us is that he got to the point where he's so addicted to his desires even though he's only 12 and a half years old 13 years old there a m as far as his age it's literally a a a a period of time of six months he's a young kid just became possibly a teenager possibly but he's addicted to his desires he likes to eat nonstop he wants steaks he wants Burgers he wants hot dogs he wants he wants he wants and that's not enough he wants some wine I want to have a drink I want to have this I want to go here I want to play video games I want a new computer I want a ps7 PS five I want to this I want to go to movies I want to go baseball I want I want and the parents don't know what to do tell okay why don't you learn to today you learn to I want to eat you learn to I want to watch a movie why don't you act nicely you act nicely give me what I ask and he's nastier than nasty this disgusting despicable human being but after all he's still their son to says kill him that's to says they bring him to the bed the bed sees you stole money from your parents to go buy some alcohol to go buy some steak that's what you sto that's what you did they whip him that's the warning goes back home a week later he heals he wants to take revenge against his parents steal some more money more disrespectful more this there more that continues going to eat drink and be a disgusting person his parents tell them you have to stop we'll take you to the bedine again ah come on they can't do nothing to me this little 12y old 13-y old loser talks to his parents like the average kid today feels comfortable speaking to his parents the average kid today feels comfortable cursing his parents out I have some kids telling me that they grew up smoking marij with their parents thinking nothing of it bringing girls to the house to sleep over bringing guys to the house to sleep over and any parent that doesn't know what sleepovers means is a they should not be allowed to have kids just like you have education in order before you take a certain profession there literally be a education before you're allowed to have kids before you're allowed to have a relationship but unfortunately the world doesn't work that way but that's what the Torah is for but the Torah says that after after they warn that kid and he fails they bring him back to the bedine and the bedine kills him even though he's only 13 years old why better to kill him now before he becomes an outright criminal and starts killing people and and doing all types of horrible things in so many words what is the Tor teaching us we obviously don't have a right now there's no death penalties right now what is the point of all this learning this every single year we get to this P we learn this again in fact if you learn you learn this multiple times what what's the point of all this it's to remind us you thought that AEM didn't punish you when you drove on Shabbat to that party to that club and you had that promiscuous relationship you thought that Hashem didn't care that you wearing almost no clothes when you were going to this and there you thought that hasem didn't care and you are doing whatever it is that you were doing to says when a person has kids they see what Hashem thinks of their life until that point why they're kids and as the kids grow up don't think about oh I'm talking about 5-year-old kids talk about a little older when they start talking back when they start acting out and unfortunately I've seen this too often with people do not know how to Simply educate their kids and they think that if they become friends with their kids that's going to make them better parents not realizing that that's going to make them worse parents more times than not if you did not educate yourself if you did not control yourself you'll see the consequence in this world with your kids now it's never too late a person can uh change but if you're suffering because of your kids it's not because of the kids perit it's because of what goes around comes around and this is just beginning furthermore the gives us some more details about what Hashem thinks is evil says the Garb of a man in chapter 22:5 the Garb of a man shall not be on a woman and the G and and a man shall not wear the Garment of a woman for anyone who does so is an Abomination to hasem your God now of course this is pretty clear men should not dress like women but one of the things we see here also is uno says the Garb of a man is also weapon men are people that go to war women are not allowed to have weapons why women don't go to the Army women don't go to the Army that's why when they heard that the is isi government was drafting women to the army they told the daughters of Israel it's better that you die and not join the Army and unfortunately there are too many modern Orthodox American and Anglo parents that keep Shabbat but yet have this distorted understanding of the Torah to such an extent that they actually encourage their daughters to go to the Israeli Army against against the itself you're not even allowed to have a weapon needless to say join the army of course self-defense in the house it's not what I'm talking about talking about being a warrior being a soldier women are not allowed to be soldiers toah has too much respect for a woman and what her role is in the world Soldier is not it you could be the mother of the mashiah you could be the mother of one of is you could be the mother of the greatest most important people that are going to come in the Next Generation the greatest women the greatest men what are you wasting your time being a soldier killing people or or or or or what else happens in the Army one statistic that the Israeli Army refuses to show the public refuses they have no problem showing the public the details of their plant even though it's supposed to be secret material they have no problem showing you their weapons no problem showing you their places of where they attack what their plans are they have no plans of showing you everything all these stupid films that they publicize to the world one of the only armies on planet Earth that actually does anything like that but one thing that the Israeli Army and government refuses to show the public is how many abortions they have how many abortions there are in the Israeli Army why because the amount of horrible things that happened to these poor women in Israel is beyond the scope of this lecture literally all of you will be crying blood if you actually understood what happens in the Israeli Army to these poor women that think that they came to help the country and a lot of of this stuff was uncovered but a lot unfortunately isn't and we know this firsthand knowledge this is not like some rumors anyway T says women going to an army is evil furthermore something that looks like it's not relevant to says when a person builds a house in chapter 22:8 if you build a new house you shall make an enclosure for your roof so that you will not Place liability for a judgment of death in your house if one who falls shall fall from it seems like okay house what is this relevant with all this other stuff morality and so on tell us look at what the verse says it's not just about the house it's not just about the roof it's not just about having the enclosure is that if you don't have the enclosure someone could fall but it's not just someone can fall by accident rather the one who falls shall fall from it why the double expression fall fall says because whoever falls off the roof he was already falling spiritually he already did something he failed in serving AEM she failed in serving hem somewhere and thereby deserved to fall and die it wasn't an accident there is no such thing as a car accident as a car you know there's car crash people like to call it accident there's no accidents God runs the world with Precision if he fell he was falling already the fact that you violated the toah yourself by not putting a roof by not putting a fence around your pool and a kid ended up drowning in it that's because you failed to follow the T you deserve to have someone that was failing also get injured die on your ground in so many words the Tor teaches us gives merits to those that have merits and punishment to those that have sins next the Torah talks about people that like to talk about all of the different relationships they have you know they call them today what do they call them Playboys they call them uh you know the guys that like to have a new girlfriend a new wife every day new week whatever it is Unfortunately today there's also girls like that hopefully not in I'm is but we can't lie to ourselves they exist well if a person things you only live once and Hashem doesn't really care about these types of things go to chapter 22 start verse number 17 and on and you'll see a lot of different things one of the things it talks about people that get married a woman is supposed to consummate the marriage with the man that she's married to and they're both supposed to be the first time for each other but what if he finds out that she was not uh a virgin even though they have to find out what happened if it was after they got engaged that means she actually cheated on him the Torah says there was a death penalty she committed adultery but if it was before she even knew he existed it's a different story it's a different story but then there some guys that say you know what listen I married her but I don't want her anymore like this one R married a woman or sent to a woman that he wants to marry her and she was a firm woman she preserved herself never touched a uh never touched anything he say since we're getting married anyway why we have some fun and he convinced her this poor girl and then this poor girl sends me messages at 3:00 in the morning crying hysterical that right after this filthy animal excuse of a human being who considers himself a righteous convert and many of you knew know who he is and one day I will tell you his name this piece of garbage tells her I don't want you anymore the girl was so broken she literally was considering suicide I had to get her off the cliff figuratively speaking and unfortunately this tormenting and psychological Terror continued for several years but these types of people exist if it's written in the tah these types of people exist a person pretends like he wants you pretends like he loves you oh honey baby I miss you pooky toi you know he talks to you like you're the love of his life why CU he wants to fulfill his animalistic needs and if you let him the only thing you will have is Regret only thing you'll ever have is regret any man that's not your husband not even allowed to touch your finger not only because the toah says that's needless to say because you will regret every second of it just give it time and to says that some of these people will even pretend to be from will pretend to be religious but it's as soon as they get what they want they'll start saying no she wasn't good she lied she this T says if they find out that he he lied they whip him they find him they collect from him 100 silver SL what's 100 silver SL a is a form of money silver and the uh this coin over here that I got recently is a over 2,000 year old coin that I got from my dear friend Rabbi Deutsch from the living Torah Museum that I told you guys about which I'll send the uh I'll publicize the video about it soon but this over 2,000 year old coin or something like 2,000 year old coin is a din A din four of these is One S so this is a form of money and this is like let's say if a dollar was a s then this would be a quarter it's important to know the coins and you know for for Learning and so on and but especially you see him in amazing stuff in that Museum and a guy that lies about the girl just because he wants to get her out of his life and he doesn't want to pay her the get Tora says they find him they find him they beat him can't do stuff like that to now on the other hand if she did she was found cheating like what he said was right he was actually righteous and he found out that she really cheated on him then the T says she would get a death penalty in today's world there was a statistic that came out several years ago they announced that there's more adultery by women than there is by men meaning women are committing more adultery than men in this horrible world that we have that's any part of it that has no tah in it is going to have adultery and unfortunately I get questions about these types of situations on a regular basis people ask me what do I do if I suspect what if I do if I found out what if I do what if I do these are horrible things but know this if you're truly good Hashem will send you somebody good if you're a liar if you're a cheater hm's going to send you one while you think that she doesn't know that you're cheating on her you also are not going to know when she cheats on you that's just the way the world is Hashem is not going to give a rash aik and aik if she is truly tadik is going to give her somebody good but if she started off one way and she changed became better then perhaps that's the reason why her husband is not so good or vice versa now they have to do together next Torah says what happened about the always uncomfortable always horrific situation where there is force is rape what do you do now the Torah says the woman that was raped if the rape is in the field she had no one to run to no one to call out no one would hear her she's purely a victim she's considered as if he murdered her he gets a death penalty she is free to go there's nothing wrong with her what if it happened in the city if it happened in the city say that means that it started off as she was interested she was doing things that were not allowed already to begin with and she decided to go somewhere and then she decided to back out when he was already too far and he didn't want to stop in that particular case they're both punished because even though he still violated her according to the law and so on according to the Torah he gets a death penalty she also put ourselves in that situation yeah but I told him no yes you told him you know it's like telling the li no after you put the meat in his mouth it's not going to work now I know that a lot of people are going to hate this so oh that people should know no is no and you're right but why did you put yourself in that situation that you are in an inappropriate relationship in inappropriate places with inappropriate people but yet expect them to act appropriately you you expect the lion to act like a gentleman why why do you have this understanding Oh I thought he was nice okay send him a text message you are nice why do you have to go to these places and do all these things and then you're surprised so again these are not going to be comfortable things to hear but this is the reality many times people put themselves in horrible places and they end up suffering consequences as a result of that and instead of turning themselves around they put all of their energy into turning themselves into a victim we've all failed we've all been picked on we've all been tormented and I'm sure everybody's got some type of skeleton or two in their closet but one thing I can tell you if you are alive so is your yet so is your Satan that's within you he's going to try to make you fail again he's going to make you committed to this idea that you can't get up committed to this idea that you can't be a winner don't listen to him he's just trying to kill you turn yourself around follow what toah says and you'll see life becomes better life becomes good you don't have to be a victim forever now this does not justify the evil people that have hurt you in any way shape or form in any way shape or way whether it's pedophilia or rape or or or or anything else that you murder is the only thing you compare it to according to the Torah but that doesn't mean that your life should end get up and show yourself that you don't have to stay in that moment permanently you can get past it because hasem still gave you more time in this world and if he gave you more time that means that you have more ways to do good just don't repeat the same mistakes now for those that think yeah but where does it say that promiscuity is not allowed in in the chapter 23 verse 15 16 17 18 let's see in chapter 23 verse number 18 is a woman from among the daughters of isra shall not be aades what's aesa prostitute promiscuous and there shall not be a prostitute among the sons of is to considers anyone that has premarital relationships premarital intimacy a prostitute even if you do it for free and in fact there are consequences in this world that I have seen for people that treat themselves like garbage and think that there's some dog that has to fulfill their Cravings in fact it was one of the most uncomfortable situations where I had a woman that was looking to get married for 40 years she was 40 something years old literally she wanted to get married since she was a little kid finally she found somebody she did chuva everything was good she found a guy that was keeping also everything was great problem he was a Quin and she had a forbidden relationship with a non-jew for eight nine years before she did chba and according to they not let to marry do not let to marry now of course everyone wants to make an excuse everyone wants this and this unfortunately was not the only time another guy he was a Quin and he told me listen my girlfriend is the best one in the world she made me do chva she makes me close to the T said great so why aren't you married she go oh because she's in the process of conversion but nobody wants to convert her so why doesn't anybody want to convert her she keeps she wants to keep Shabbat she wants to keep modesty she goes no she wants to keep everything I say so what's the problem oh they don't like the fact that she's with me I like nobody's going to like the fact they with you but why would don't they convert her at all there something else oh yeah yeah you're asking oh yeah I'm a Cohen ah even if she converts and she becomes the most righteous woman in the world she's still not going to be allowed to marry you because you're a Cohen convert is not allowed to marry Cohen no but Rabbi and he starts arguing with me and guess what they're still not married they're still sinning and still deluding themselves to thinking that they're going to find someone to solve their problem tah says when a person is promiscuous it's considered prostitution it's considered prostitution and there are consequences even in this world we're not talking about just the judgment and we did that already we're talking about in this world there are certain consequence that person is not going to realize until later on until they have kids until they want to get married until different things come up in their life that they're not even doing the calculation that these things will even affect them because their Satan that's within them is convincing them to think short term it's only one time it's only one this it's only one night no one's going to know and as the M says somebody desecrates the name of hem and private Hashem will expose them in public when he punishes them now there are some people that are experts in causing other people to sin they're the ones that are the nightclub promoters the DJs they're the people that arrange all of the you know everybody else to sin it's not enough for them to sin by themselves they like to bring people aside from this showing Hashem that they're not grateful this is showing Hashem that they are literally acting like an enemy not only to Hashem but to their friends to their what they think is their friends but is really they're victims and to address that to in chapter 23 verse number four until 8 talks about the Nations and who's allowed and who's forbidden from conversion Hashem says in verse number four the ammonites and the moabites shall not be considered pure to be allowed to enter the congregation of isra their descendants and even even their 10th Generation shall not be considered pure to enter into the congregation of hasem forever the ammonites and the moabites never allowed to convert to Judaism yet the Egyptians and the adom meaning Egyptians that enslaved am isra and AD that comes from is do not entirely reject the Edomite for he's your brother do not entirely reject the Egyptian for you were a surgeoner in his land rather children who are born to them the third generation shall be considered pure for them to enter the congregation of hasem meaning Egyptians adamites today's world the Christian world they're allowed to con no problem Sometimes some of the most righteous people in the world come from them shim was one of the of OFA that everybody's familiar with and all everybody's familiar with the says why what's what the Miracles of was extraordinary miracles of in some cases were even bigger it's amazing stuff that he did why did hasm allow the to come to the the world to to come to the world hasem said a b call came from sh says because I knew that one day I'm going to have from this Enit I'm going to have he came from the ades he was a convert the rabbi of both and he came from converts his father was a convert they were converts as we learned recently they were not only descendants of that tried to destroy the BET mikdash tried to kill all of is some say they were even his sons not just descendants either way some of the most righteous people throughout all of history including today come from converts from adom but says the ammonites and the moabites the males not the females cuz we know that Ruth was a moite and she was a female that's so it specifically says the males are never allowed to convert why Egyptians killed us was killing 150 kids every morning and 150 kids a night just to take their blood in order for him to bathe because he hadat and that was his Necromancer says that the Jewish blood was the cure for his ailment imagine the psychopath and now you're telling me that his great-grandson can become a rabbi asav when he heard that Yu was coming his brother was coming he gathered 400 battalions 400 battalions to go kill his brother isav his descendants destroyed the bet mikdash the worst the worst idolatry in the world comes from asav you're telling me that from him could also be some of the greatest people in history come from this how so why don't you just let all the moit in also sh says no you know why even though the Egyptians killed us and so did the indites they killed but the mo vites and the ammonites were much worse why the ammonites were grateful ungrateful for what Hashem gave them when we asked them for some water or some food they didn't want to host us they're not grateful people Hashem doesn't like ungrateful people and if that wasn't bad enough if that disgusting type of behavior was not bad enough they caused is to sin by hiring bam to curse am Isel and eventually listening to Bam and sending their women to go sin with the Jewish people and from there the sages teach us someone that causes other people to sin is much worse than a murderer a person that gets other people to go to a nightclub to a movie that's inappropriate to make any type of sins is much worse much worse than sin the head terrorist of Kamas according to the Torah according to the Torah if sinir had a grandson who wasn't a terrorist he wants to convert no problem would convert him to I would convert him but somebody that has a business that causes people to sin an ideology that causes people to sin a platform that causes people to sin intentionally not unintentionally like that's that's his stick he wants people to sin says unforgivable Unforgivable this is a very different perspective from what common knowledge is today common knowledge is that hasem loves everybody everyone's trying their best everyone's going to heaven but we see that hashem's definition of evil is very very different than what we think is evil what people Define evil and in fact the more a person goes through life and pays attention to their surroundings and the people in their life the more they'll see that every single one of these words that are in the toah are literally prophecies that are being fulfilled not just on a large scale for the world to see but on a small individual scale in your life you'll see the words of the toah being fulfilled you'll see what happens to those people that are promiscuous you'll see what happens to people that when they have kids and you'll see what who they were and what they produce you'll see that the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree even though the tree looks different today than when he was an apple you'll see what happens to of those people that are in corrupt businesses that look like they're celebrating with their fancy cars and fancy houses at first a year two years 5 years 10 years whatever it is but then you'll see the destruction and how massive it is where the destruction is always bigger than all of the success that a person had as great as the glamour greater is the destruction for those that Hashem punishes and this is simply a reminder from our holy Torah that the Satan is trying to destroy us to finish off before we go into questions let's see what the has to tell us he told us that the Satan doesn't sleep even if we're sleeping the Satan doesn't rest even when we're resting the Satan doesn't think anything is not a big deal even when we do furthermore he says to us in the same the wholehearted Devotion to all of the acts in chapter five of nearly a thousand years ago he says as follows there are three things that inhibit the wholehearted Devotion to the acts of God failure to understand God and His Graces failure to understand God's Commandments and teachings temptation of man's evil inclination and its suggestions to him pointing to what will attract him to this world and deter him from the path of the world to come now the biggest problem we're going to skip around a little bit but the biggest problem he talks about Begins for a person who's a faker what's a faker he thinks he's righteous he thinks he's doing enough she thinks she's doing enough even know the Rabbi says that according to she's not modest and she understood it from Simply the words that he said in the lecture you didn't have to give her a private speech she knows that she's not modest but she says no today the world is different modesty is different modesty is subjective he knows that he's not allowed to be in a certain business and he heard that it's forbidden but he justifies it and there are certain things that people simply they lie to themselves and convince themselves that they're doing enough first addresses them in our times he says this is a thousand years ago needless to say today when there is no prophecy and the idolator is not warned by a prophet who through signs and wonders can prove to him the fallacy of his ideas but one who poses in his observance of God's Torah meaning a faker is open to the charge that he acts in this fashion after having received the Commandments to serve God and the prohibition not to serve anyone besides him in so many words he's saying that a person that's a faker is in worse trouble than an idol worshipper because the idol worshipper has an excuse there's no Prophet out there that's going to show him clearly that his Idol is fake and his ways are fake whereas the guy that's a faker who thinks he's religious he knows what the truth is he has seen what the Torah says he has heard but he still serves more than just God serves his desires serves his boss serves his masters of all kind the idol worships that which does not disobey God but one who poses in his observance of God's Torah worships human beings who disobey God as well as those who do not disobey him again he says that the faker is worse than an idol worshipper because his Idol is not disobeying God his Idol is nothing it's zero he's obviously it's not saying that idol worship is good he's saying look how bad it to be a faker a person that's a faker is worshiping more than just God he's worshiping people and some of those people that he's worshiping are enemies of God and some of them are not enemies of God either way he's worshiping them an idolator serves one thing only but there is no end to those that the poser serves the idolator's nature is not hidden from people they can worry of him they can be worried of him for his denial of God is public the poser denial however is not apparent people trust him and so he can harm them in ways that an idolator cannot he is the worst of the world's afflictions and is described as pretentious treacherous and misleading here he's talking with such language that literally you start thinking wait is he talking about me and I'm that bad I'm worse than an idol worshipper and and you really you start listening and when you read this you want to cry why because there are certain aspects of be like whoa I got to work on myself forget about you know being like let me just check myself and really whoa and a person could easily easily start seeing the world from a different perspective once he sees the says forget about don't worry about the next door neighbor that's violating Shabbat and and the other neighbor that's an idol worship worry about yourself not being a faker why because that Idol worshipper that you think you're better than him yeah he's terrible he's going to G but guess what people know he's an idol worshipper and therefore they can protect themselves from him by not associating with him by not going to his house and so on and so forth but you that you're a faker you're much more dangerous why people think you're righteous people think you are honest people think all these things of you but in reality if you're not honest like people think if you're not righteous like people think then you're misleading then you're treacherous then you're pretentious and people are trusting you for no reason whatsoever and he says as follows if one does not know God's commandment and teachings he his religious practice cannot be wholly devoted to God for if he does not know the modes of worship as prescribed in the basic laws he certainly will not know how to perform them perfectly with wholehearted Devotion to God any religious act that he performs is for the sake of something other than God for he is for he is like one who doubts the true nature of his obligation to perform these acts as he has no knowledge of what obligates him to wholeheartedly devote his actions to God as our master's blessed memory said in P chapter 2 verse mishna 5 the ignorant person cannot fear sin nor can an unlearned person be Pious so here just as an introduction to the to that particular section the gives us literally an atomic bomb combined with some type of other bomb that we've never even seen or heard of says before you even worry about the evil inclination and all the desires and the idolatry and the missionary don't think for a moment that you are perfect because there are certainly parts of us that could be a faker and if you're a faker it is a big deal as far as how big of a deal depends how much of a faker a person is depends how much a person is is is faking if all of your efforts are focused on other people and not yourself it's a very big problem why your number one number one most important thing is your own life if everyone else has become your priority that's our that's sign that's the biggest sign in the world that fakery has become standard in your mind now the I won't read you what we read yesterday but that warned us about the Satan and all the things that Satan tries to convince us to do and so on he says the ultimate goal of this evil inclination is to convince you that the truth is false that's the ultimate goal that everything that was said in it sh today everything that's said in the tah itself cannot be true cannot be relevant to today it's true but not for today in so many words somehow water down the tah and make it more like what he wants you to think that's the number one objective of the Satan and ultimately once a person falls into that trap says these are the things that will follow they'll eventually have doubts about the soul after death meaning once a person starts doubting what the truth of the toah is they'll start questioning judgment after life whether there's gome maybe gome is only 12 months and that 12 months perhaps is not so bad that just just embarrassing you all of the nonsense that you've heard me go against over the years that is all of those rabbis all of those speakers that say maximum punishment is 12 months and uh Gom is just a uh you know it's not really that big of a deal you know all those people they are already living that lie and all they're doing is they're soldiers of the Satan and they're producing more victims because they're already there they already have the doubts about what happens after death and this is again is talking about this next thing is doubts about creation itself doubts about creation itself in so many words maybe the world was always here maybe the world is 60 billion years old like the scientists say doubts about the fundamentals next doubts about God's Oneness and he specifically says it will try to entangle you in various forms of associating god with anything outside of himself such as the belief of the dualists the Christian trar trinitarians the naturalists and the foolish astrologers with their various systems this is over a thousand years ago he's writing this he says how did these Christians that believe in the Trinity and all that stuff and the people that believe that you know in a uh in the world came from itself or or or the people that think that God needs you and all these all of these things these are all old these are old weapons of the Satan when one thing one weapon fails the Satan has another weapon that weapon fails he has another weapon how many weapons he has endless but it all starts with doubting the truth and rejecting it after that a person will have doubts about serving the Creator altogether meaning what says no no I believe in God I just don't think he cares about the mitv I just don't think that he needs me to do the mitzvot or maybe he needs it but I don't really need to and after that doubts about the written law doubts about the oral law doubts about reward and Punishment in this world doubts about reward and Punishment in the world to come and if all of that hasn't worked yet because you went to Yeshiva and you live in a fir community and everything was you know you got to sh then says when the evil inclination despairs of raising doubts in your minds about all that has been mentioned it will try to make us lazy in the practice of God's service and preoccupy us with our worldly interests eating drinking dressing riding and enjoyment of various bodily pleasures and if we listen to it in respect to food without which we cannot live the evil inclination will make Superfluous luxuries appear attractive to us and endear to us fality and pleasure so that we Envy Kings and their ministers and wish to emulate them adopt their customs and follow their practices and pursuit of Pleasures in so many words even if your father is a rabbi your mother is a raban they're published authors they help millions of people you're still not safe why you went to Yesa you have a rabbi you learned tah you still still not safe why because even if the Satan does not entice you with false teachings with heresy with idolatry what is he going to get you with go after you with materialism materialism ah come on you're still wearing that old suit you got to get a new one ah you're still wearing that old dress got to get a new one if you got a new suit you got to get new shoes and you can't just get any shoes everybody has those shoes those $50 $100 shoes you got to get you know loafers you got to get those loafers you know the $400 and up loafers now if you want you get the loafers you got to get a belt and you can't just get a belt from Chinatown for $5 $10 no got to get you know brand name $250 three $400 your father could afford it why not and once you have that come on you got a sport to watch but don't you get that fake watch everybody's going know it's fake somehow no one knows anything but everyone's going to know that your your watch is fake you have to convince your parents to give you a uh wedding present 10 years before you got married and give you a $25,000 watch why because you can't have a nice suit and a nice watch for shabus without a $25,000 watch and what are you going to walk to sh you're gonna walk to work you have to have a nice car but don't get that Honda don't get that uh cheap Buick or whatever other cheap car that's out there no you gotta get a beamer you gotta get a Mercedes Benz why come on got style a little bit and every day it's a little more more materialism more watches more suits more this one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life was when I saw there was a Yesa week and I love seeing B I love seeing people learn t but I got so disappointed when I saw a couple of these guys together they were laughing everything was good I you know I like laughing with people I'm not so serious in real life I I laugh when needs to laugh I cry when need to cry but one of the things that really affected me I mean to this day is when I saw the guys hanging out with each other talking and then I started seeing some of them acting like my old Wall Street crew you know guys that used to work for me they were on Wall Street because materialism is God materialism is everything to them and one of the things that everybody checks each other out with is the watch is the shoes is the this is the that and I saw some of the guys take each other's tie and flip it around to see what kind of brand the Tai was I wanted to vomit you want to see wait you you care if his Tha is this I don't know DKNY y or whatever other Brown sh or whatever brand is out there or it's some no-name brand like that that's in your mind and you're learning to what's the rest of us going to do and this Rai is how the Satan is working he's working in the religious community he's working in the secular Community he's working in the neighborhood he's working in our house he's working in the synagogue he's working in the Yeshiva he's working in the government he's working in the schools the yet is working and our only chance is to also work on ourself and not deny the fact that we have a war and it's not the war in Israel against Hamas or against the media the war begins and ends within ourselves as the Torah tells us in this week's par when you go out to war the war is within you once you're going to that war you have a chance to win because you know who you're fighting but if you think that the war is outside it's in the media it's anti-Semitism it's it's this it's all types of other things that means that the got you he's got you on the hook and he's leading you away from the real war don't fall for that trap the war is within us and the doesn't stop and will literally open up all of our Hearts during this month of alul this month of chuva to start fighting the war that's within us and bring the that we all need spiritually and physically amen amen with that being said you guys can ask some questions will give us the answers do you consider the war in Gaza no not the way that it's being fought if it was would have been finished in 24 hours uh here in Brooklyn New York many come here to become G converts must live in a fir unnown okay great ask me questions don't give me statements please uh okay there a lot of comments or should I try to rest on Shabbat day even if I'm not tired uh no you should learn toah what should aul who is unable to get out of the heretical Yeshiva do until he has the chance to do so if it's a heretical Yeshiva then he has to get out of it but if he can't then he simply has to focus on learning what the truth is throughout the whole time but I mean again it all also depends on on the spiritual strength of the B I mean knowing that something is heretical and still staying there I I don't really understand how people do that but that's again that's how that's my personality so I don't know yours uh you know some people have you know knowledge of the truth but it's hard for them to fight for it they don't have that strength which again doesn't make them a bad person just simply they not everybody has the same uh abilities so what a person needs to do is to make sure that when there is teachings of heresy they simply use their two fingers that the gar says the fingers are shaped in this way and the ears are shaped in this way because hasem specifically made each one of us have fingers that fit directly into their ears so they don't have to listen to heresy and L and all types of forbidden speech so when there's any teachings of heresy and and anything else that's out there use their fingers appropriately and they're fulfilling a MIT from secondly they should study a lot of Truth a lot of Torah uh and uh look for a way out now if getting out of that Yeshiva is going to happen let's say in a month from now and they've already been there for several years and they've survived fine but if they're getting out of that Yeshiva is going to be another couple years from now there's no way that they're going to survive in a uh in in the same fashion uh they're going to be damaged the the rambam writes that no matter what a person says you know he's always going to be affected by his environment so even if a person is knows that something is wrong um if he stays around it long enough listening to it eventually it'll affect them so it's it's a uh the fact that the person that's going to a heretical Yeshiva is not a heretic himself or her you know is is is is a miracle we're not allowed to rely on miracles to last forever person that knows that has to get out as soon as possible what books teach cabala uh if you don't know what books teach cabala then I would say that you're not fit to learn cabala um so cabala is not for people that are new to the Tora cabala is for people that are experts in all of the fundamental teachings of the tah meaning they've completed the talmud bav multiple times talmi uh uh certainly certain parts of certain parts of the different they've completed a large part of the you know of the foundations of the Tora and now they have permissions from their Rabbi to start learning cabala but if a person doesn't even know what where to learn cabala needless to say they're not fit uh to uh to to read cabala and I know that there are some people out there on the internet that say that they teach cabala um um I can tell you this if they're really uh most of the time they're not really teaching cabala they're just teaching things from books like the zos which is really a series of books that have uh all types of teachings in it including cabala but it's not only cabala there's a lot of other things like you know that are not cabala so they're teaching it from there and it making it sound like as if this is cabala but in reality it's not so why because they think that that's they're trying to sell uh their uh their you know like they're trying to Market it so they're using it for marketing purposes they're saying cabal because they know that people want the forbidden fruit I mean they're more attracted to learn things that are not even relevant for them uh that are too uh Advanced for them than to learn what they're supposed to learn which is you know that's also uh uh uh something that uh uh they need in their life like the basic foundations of Judaism the reward and Punishment the mitv and so on and so forth so most people that saying they're teaching cabala they're not really teaching cabala there are some that are outright frauds where they'll teach you certain words and terminology from cabala but they're doing it in a completely inappropriate and wrong way so they'll say certain words they'll even say certain teachings like for example the cabala center the cabala center is a complete fraud it's it's it's uh forbidden to associate with them forbidden to read their books forbidden to attend their places it's been a fraud since day one why because the founder and everybody that's there are complete Heretics against the tah they don't observe the tah they uh mock the tah uh and they think that uh they're cabalists it's it's complete mockery of Judaism uh they even uh have recently made certain uh uh marketing together with the Christian uh the Christian church so just to show you uh how far they are from the truth but the point is is that uh just because something is called cabala doesn't mean that it's really cabala even if somebody's teaching it if they are not uh a that's a very very serious uh and and and righteous Jew even if they say the words it's it's like it's like a uh you know air into the wind it's worthless and and the vast majority of the time they distort uh things to such an extent that they literally teach you the opposite of the truth the opposite they'll they'll read you the words but they'll arrive with the opposite conclusion and I've seen this many times where people literally will read something they'll ask me a question they'll send me a certain uh a uh certain uh picture of some page and literally you'll see they're reading what they're reading but they're somehow arriving at the opposite conclusion and sometimes it's just simply a person misunderstands but there are many times uh this is a has uh other other reasoning for it and uh when it comes to the world of cabala and and these types of teachings the uh 100% of the time without exception you will see those people that are false teachers arrive at the wrong conclusions uh so that's the second type uh the third type are the ones that are just irresponsible teachers meaning they may know a little bit of cabala uh uh but they present themselves as if they know a lot and then they teach certain aspects of it of the little that they know to an audience that even knows less than them which is inappropriate to say it nicely forbidden according to many many to teach cabala to the public has never been allowed it's just simply not something that's appropriate for the public uh it won't be helpful for the public but uh there are people that present themselves as if they're doing it I can tell you this from from from learning and uh being connected and knowing even a couple of uh very serious uh cabala is never something that you learn in public and when it's learned it's usually a one-on-one or maybe two three people four people with their their main teacher and this is after the teacher has nourished them and and built them over years then he'll give them some little titbits of it it's never going to be to the masses it's never going to be a YouTube thing anyone that's telling you they're teaching cabala on the Internet is one of those three categories that I mentioned to you if your partner is currently experiencing doubt and reward punishment regarding the afterlife does this mean the rest of the heretical cycle will continue what can someone do after these effects well the good news is that a person can show them that they're wrong by by showing them the truth and uh being patient with them and being persistent and eventually they'll you know they'll change they'll change they'll go back to uh they'll go back on the right way but if they refuse to change then yes it's the path gets worse all of the wicked people they get worse over time if you guys anyone has been watching me for long enough has seen the different uh Wars we've gone against different Heretics and so on and anyone that's followed the the Heretics that we fought against you'll see how they have gradually gotten worse they started with one thing they got worse they keep getting worse worse worse and they always that's how it is uh but it's unless a person gets better by doing chuva they get worse there's no there's no neutral what are the consequences of not following t a horrible life and a horrible end after this life do evil eye truly effect uh in the light of toah uh yes the evil eye is certainly something that exists uh how much it affects a person depends on the person depends on the person that's uh putting an evil eye there's different types of evil eye but it certainly is does exist yes is it considered if you're talking about a non-jew no there's no dean of L against non-jews that doesn't mean you should talk bad about non-jews or or or even talk the things that are inappropriate about non-jews just simply there's no the laws of only apply to Jews that are observant of it doesn't even apply to all Jews a Jew that's a Jew that's a heretic there's no dean of about him if you say about a heretic it's not a sin uh why don't we have prolific and profound Scholars like my man today how do you know we don't have you met all of the Torah Scholars that I've met have you met all the Torah Scholars that I haven't met that are much you know even bigger than like it's such a silly thing that people think that there's no in the world today this spoke so many people that say that you just you've never lived in the world of Tora you've never gone to a you've never met serious like it's it's it's it's to make such statements just simply means you're you know it's not major Torah Scholars like uh the rambam that you need but rather to learn the laws of the rambam uh you know would do you would do you good just simply to to see what he says and understand it that's enough there's plenty of Torah Scholars out there does dis believing in any of the 13 principles of Faith make it forbidden for you to be in the world to come yes according to uh according to the 13 principles Faith are the fundamentals of Judaism uh and if a person does not believe in reward and punishment that they have no share of the world to come if they don't believe that God is one that all the sh world to come yeah these are 13 principles of faith that means that this is our found if a person does not believe them then they have is that they don't have a share of the world to come yeah uh I don't teach cabala publicly no or privately what does the Torah say about tattoos uh tattoos are forbidden for Jews to have uh to to get um but once a person made the mistake of getting a tattoo there's no obligation for them to remove it unless it's a tattoo of idolatry or or some form of uh insult uh blasphemy of you know or uh or something that's immorality that's shown to the public like for example if somebody has a tattoo of immodest woman on his face then they would have to remove that but if it's something that's uh uh you know on his chest where nobody sees it then there's no obligation to remove it the sin is getting the tattoo having it depends on a circumstance let's see okay I have an uncle that is really sweet person but he is following Christianity even though he was he's a Jew is he GNA go to Gom even though he's a good person uh he will 100% go to Gom and not come out because Christianity and following the New Testament is considered idolatry even more so for a Jew than it is for a non-jew uh there's a um very serious problem that your uncle has or anybody that's following Christianity has but especially if it's a Jew uh the fact that he's a nice person to you and he's a sweet person and so on is meaningless because like I said God is the one that created everything including the definition of good uh and when a person is violating the Torah and going after false god going after false teachings then they're not defined good even if they're particularly nice to you and they're generous with you and they smile at you and they even tell you jokes that does not make them good according to God good is defined by following the T following the mitv if your uncle does chuv and abandons idolatry starts following with t says then he can become good until then he's considered Wicked and uh if he dies this way he will not have a share of the world to come which means a whole lot more than just uh an end and you know like lights out anyone that wants to know the details uh could watch the uh uh three lectures first start off with kib the film that we made spelled c h i b u t uh just type that word and you'll see a movie it's about an hour and a half or so on my uh site that's what happens when a person dies before they go to the G no or anything else simply when a person dies in a grave then there's the Judgment there's either kafak there's a reincarnation there is gome so there's a bunch of different things if you want to be really really educated about all of that watch the film Gom watch the lecture that's about four and a half hours called kafak between those three lectures you will become an expert uh with I think more than probably four or five maybe 500 sources uh under your belt that uh about the subject as hand at hand uh and you'll know exactly what life after death looks like on the negative side uh and on the positive side you simply just magnify the evil by 500 times on the positive side and that's not even the beginning of the good so for most people they don't really understand the concept of reward uh but we do understand the concept of punishment and a person does not understand that going against the toah is bad once they watch those films they get a better understanding they get a a better understanding I would also recommend watching the movie tunit because that's the uh film that discusses those same issues as well H you know as but has a specific focus on morality uh promiscuity modesty and you know wasting seed and so on so between those handful of uh uh films and lectures you can become an expert in the concept of uh reward and Punishment which is one of the foundations of Judaism which one of the foundations of of trth truth the understanding of reward and Punishment what is reward what is punishment and and how it's very very different than our own predisposition our own definition of what we think it is and what we want it to be and uh once you have that you'll have the right perspective the right ideology of how to you know move on in your life without that it's like a uh a blind person in darkness you're not going to know where to go why to go who to go to uh and uh it's it's it's going to be very difficult how long is a day that depends on your definition of day does this oh I read this already how does one do CH for unintentionally reciting the wrong uh first I would say add about 15 minutes of M to your life per day the more you have the the better you going to become at at everything as far as uh Torah is concerned uh and two learn the laws of why do Jews bow to a wall God forbids this we're not bowing to a wall we're not we're not praying to a wall the is there the uh it's not it's not the wall we also bow even if we pray in our own houses or our synagogues or even if we pray in the middle of the street has nothing to do with what's in front of us the site itself is Holy when you're praying to Hashem regardless of where it is whether you're in front of a wall or you're in the middle of the desert has nothing to do with a wall we're praying because hasem is there where is that there everywhere is the phrase is a good that young a Christian idea or a Jewish it's certainly not a Jewish idea there are good people that die young there are good people that die old there are wicked people that die young there are wicked people that die old these types of things have nothing to do with Judaism um oh the statements I'm talking about can a righteous person receive divine revelation in various forms the says that a person that is righteous whether Jew or Gentile uh young old male or female uh they could Elevate themselves through their actions to a to getes Andes appears in different ways different people understand it prophecy also comes in different forms if you look at the rambam inim the rambam give has a section I believe it's in chapter s maybe if I remember correctly uh where he talks about it's right in the beginning over there in the where he talks about the different levels of Prophecy how the prophecy of mosu was different from everywhere else um so if you if you read you know what the r wrote about prophecy you'll also understand about uh you know Divine uh intervention in different ways but uhan also wrote about KES we've spoken about it several timeses and you know all types of uh what's called gim like like AEM uh you know makes himself um certain aspect of himself or something appear to a person certainly comes in different ways and different forms uh to different people uh throughout history and no two are alike but uh a person should not be deluded to think that they are a uh you know a prophet just because they hear voices many times Wicked people hear voices and uh that's because they've created so many sins they've made so many sins they've created they've given enough power to the demons that the demons have the permission to mess with them even worse so uh it's not it's not necess voices are not necessarily always a good thing if there's a book of idolatry in your house how do you get rid of it throw it out of garbage Rabbi do you match up your students together to get married uh sometimes I do help some people get uh um sometimes I do but uh I have a hard time doing it because people are too picky uh so I I don't have the patience for picky people um so I I don't I don't deal with this on a regular bases but I usually try to help some of my closer students if I see uh someone that say uh a match or whatever I'll uh I'll I'll send it to them but you know it's a once somebody shows me that they're very picky uh usually I uh I back off and I just let them do a whatever they need to do for themselves to find themselves a wife or a husband uh because um clearly it's um I'm not going to be the messenger for that could a shower benefit as a mik for men men according to the Ben just need could go onto the shower for several minutes and they could be considered a mik women on the other hand cannot shower cannot be a mik no the rabbi of an orthodox sh near me has a wife who does not cover a hair what hope does the community have if the leaders do not follow the rules as an example to them it's not necessarily the right uh conclusion the uhi talks about we learned from what the rabbi said not necessarily from what the rabbi's wife does we don't learn from what the rabbi wife does we learn by what the rabbi say maybe how do you know that he could be the most righteous person in the world he could be he could be a serious person but his wife unfortunately uh you know he has a bad wife he has a wife that's uh you know that's tormenting him or perhaps his wife is a really really good woman but she struggles with her yet and not having you can't judge people just based on their appearance and certainly you can't judge based on their wife you have to judge each person based on who they are and what they are uh and even more than judging the rabbis a person uh has to judge thems first um but certainly not conclude that the rabbi is not a good Rabbi because his wife is not wearing a even though ideally that's what you know the rabis you know should be married to him and that's covering her hair but you know it's again nothing is always perfect there are some uh really serious that their wives are not exactly the most modest in the world uh much more than just not uh covering their hair does that make that the rabbi uh bad no you know for certain things perhaps I wouldn't have that Rabbi teach uh laws of modesty uh because everybody's going to think he's a hypocrite uh but could he teach daffi could he teach other things perh yeah sure again it's you can't just cancel everything because uh you know the person's not perfect it's not necessarily uh uh the right way to do things should a rabbi be married well I mean it's a person is going to learn Torah and uh if you know and he's eventually going to learn to have a SM to learn perhaps to teach and he may get to the point of teaching people uh with let's say in a local Sho or in his house or something like that when he's still young when he's uh 15 16 years old and uh you know he's teaching to that doesn't necessarily make him qualified to be a rabbi for an entire Community but he's certainly if he knows his to he could teach toah to people to his peers when he's still young before he's married but if you're talking about a rabbi that's leading a community like a congregation a synagogue a Yeshiva for sure he has to be married uh there's actually even uh specific teachings in the talmud and talking about how a scholar That's not married is uh you know has to be treated a certain way shouldn't be a teacher uh to to young kids uh because you know lest he fall with one of the mothers of the kids that come to pick up their kids there's all types of laws for for uh people that uh teach people that are rabbis uh but if if a person is just teaching to a small group of people or even a large group uh you know as a lecture it's not necessarily required for them to be married but if you're talking about actually guiding people guiding a congregation guiding people you know on their own marriage and things like that for sure you know you have to have uh you have to be married yourself it's not uh a person is not complete until he's married so so much so that said that uh whatever tah a person learns is considered worthless in comparison to the tah that he's going to learn once he's married the Torah that a person learns after they're married is worth much much more so uh should a r be married depends of your definition of Rabbi depends on what this Rabbi is doing what what should my 15-year-old what should my 15-year-old friend do if he wasted C he did CH and he can't say the he can't pay the $420 per meal he won't do it again fine I don't understand why people think they have to do the tun on day one the main thing as I've said this 50 times already the first thing is is with all Chua not just wasting seed all Chua is stop the sin don't do the sin again uh make sure that you stop the sin that's number one most important thing second thing is to have a fence meaning to learn enough about the topic uh that you're not going to uh fall in the same way that you did before to also have not go to the same places or do the same things that led you to sin the second the first time third is to say I'm sorry to Hashem do chuva those are the first three steps that are the foundation that could all be done for free as far as doing T that's only when it's possible uh for a person to do it when they have a means when they have the ability to do it the first three steps are free the first three steps are what's obligation the the tiim as far as money is concerned that's for people that have the ability and for people that uh are serious about their chuva but if a person does not do the first three steps even if they donate $50 million for tiim it won't help them if they're continuing to sin with wasting seed with promiscuity and so on even if they donate a billion dollars is not going to help them the first three steps are more important than the tun tun is extra tun is extra credit uh the first three is the requirement any Rabbi that invites Christian speakers to the sh to the synagogue should not be a rabbi and you should not go attend the shore and you should not learn from him that's considered heresy if you actually don't believe me you can go to the uh bedin uh the website dean online dean online over there there's a uh it's a one of is in in America uh leading it he has you could write on there there's questions are you allowed to bring uh Christian speakers to synagogues there's a over there they they ping against it and all of Israel ping against it but the point is is that this is not a uh unique opinion it's just that unfortunately people are ignorant and including people that pretend to be rabbis anyone that that invites Christian speakers to a synagogue should not be a leader should not even be a member of the community to be put on is wasting SE forgiven on Y pool no do cha I'm sorry that you have to answer ignorant people Jews and non-jews alike why are you sorry I don't understand why some people are ignorant some people are misinformed some people are looking to learn there's nothing to be sorry about especially not for me I'm doing this at a choice not doing this nobody obligate me uh sorry but I disagree many people can attain wisdom without marriage to live a clean and obey God are things that an individual responsibility I never said that you can't attain wisdom without being married I'm saying what the S just said which is that whatever wisdom or whatever ability whatever you've learned as an individual is almost nothing in comparison to what you have after you get married this is not this is not a I didn't make this up they didn't ask me for my my opinion when they wrote this 2,000 years ago you don't like it it's your problem what about RAB M debated a Christian to first of all he didn't invite him that the the community invited him they wanted somebody to have a debate and Rabbi M to my knowledge he just simply took the offer that you know at least somebody's going to debate this person in order to eliminate any confusion for anyone uh so he C it wasn't his Shool to invite uh that's number one number two if we are put in a situation where uh we have to defend Judaism then certainly we have to do it but that's not the invitation that I'm talking about I'm talking about the invitations where they invite the uh Christian speakers to speak their theology their beliefs without us defending ourselves without debating it but rather simply to learn from them this is forbidden in fact the rambam says you're not even allowed to be within four amot of these types of people so it's uh I have a whole uh lecture about it with probably a few dozen sources do intentional Sinners of Shabbat have to go through suffering in this world to be completely forgiven if they've done chuat depends on the level of chat because desecrating Shabbat on purpose is considered and therefore it's that suffering is the is the least of your concerns be fruitful means to be productive it's a blessing not a commandment uh you my dear friend are interpreting toah according to your own logic and it's not according to the T it's actually considered you have a very serious problem you is not even not being married your problem is that you're unfortunately leading in the way of aut um can nandu participate in traditional Customs I don't know what that means traditional Customs traditional customs of who thank you for everything you do you it's possibility it's possibility but it's not confirmed and it's not P that way it's possible though we'll know that when mhia comes not all sins get get forgiven on if you want to see more details go to page 86 goes in details over there of different sins the type of sins some sins get forgiven uh by doing chuva some sins get forgiven by suffering some sins get forgiven onum Kip some sins don't even get forgiven by any of that uh so it depends it's not uh Yip does not absolve everybody of uh everything is it considered when talking about noide I said already there's no dean of when it comes to non-jews even when it comes to most Jews there's no de of on all of them if if a jeude that's not observant of Tor a Jud that's not OB erant of Shabbat there's no de of there's no de of if you say and someone it's not it's not a sin you say on someone it's a heretic it's not a sin doesn't mean that you should do it but it's not a sin same thing with non-js I spoke about this tadik cursed be my tongue am uh what is the upgrade end of this world sun will flare explode no sun's not going to explode why would it explode son is an Angel that's one of the Servants of hem why should hasm destroy it no in fact the moon will get bigger and be like the Sun but not no that's exping sh's not going to punish them they didn't do anything wrong do laws of impurity affect non-jews regarding Torah study such as seminal Omission no uh is there a dean of if there's a potential of people have a uh you know again it's it's how how can somebody know if there's a potential of is that person even well versed enough to know what is to know what is why would anybody that's well versed about even consider saying it's it's like it's a hypothetical scenario that just simply doesn't make any sense it's like a person talking about all the thinks he's going to buy uh for his wife for his kids uh for his grandkids and for all the Neighbors when in reality he's not married he doesn't have any kids he doesn't have any neighbors he lives in the middle of the desert and in fact he doesn't even have a lottery ticket so it's it's it's just a and he's talking to himself you understand so these hypothetical things just they don't help anybody our exorcisms real it's called a debuk in Hebrew and uh yes it does exist there's a entire book written by rabaya he's one of theim lived in the last hundred years uh and uh he actually has a book called and he talks about all the dbim that he helped people with there's also a book called debuk which is a story about that dealt with it there's also theuk that the dealt with and helped people with and many of the sikim throughout history are not known for what they dealt with as far as the supernatural but there are a few stories that came out uh about uh some of them and uh yeah deim do certainly exist farties are allowed to shower on Shabbat so long as one doesn't squeeze water from his hair no he did not suck that at all no uh do you have any contact with any kosher rabbis in Australia that you would recommend will you come here to do a Shure uh as far as to recommend somebody in Australia I don't know anybody that well to over there I have some students over there but they haven't told me so much about their rabbis to the point where I know so much about the rabbis to recommend anything uh as far as would I come to Australia I was supposed to come to Australia uh maybe like seven eight years ago somebody wanted to arrange a big event uh over there and I was open to doing it but it just never happened um would I ever go there I would never say never but it would have to be a very very big uh series of events uh you know and a huge investment by somebody to to make that work like I'm not bored and I'm not uh missing work uh so I mean if for me to travel even to New York I'm not willing to do it unless someone's going to arrange a lecture for you know a few hundred people um even locally I don't I don't I don't I don't do things unless either I set it up myself just because I want to do a lecture and to meet some you know some of my own students that you know I want to see them and uh they want to see me but if somebody invites me to a local Shool and they only have like five 10 people I'm not going um you know when I went to a lot of different places invite me to different places in California and New York and you know Arizona different places they invite me but I keep telling people I'm only willing to come if they are going to arrange an event if there's going to be a certain amount of people there if there's going to be a certain amount of investment that people are going to invest into the event I'm not looking to get a money for myself but people will have to invest into these events and arrange them in order for it to be worth it um if not I'll just continue doing things online I don't have you know I'm not not missing uh uh you know work but uh for somebody wants me to travel further uh pretty much to the end of the world you want me to go to Australia it would have to be very substantial for me to do that uh but if somebody's want to do that then yeah sure why not I can tell you what I heard one uh Rabbi years ago somebody came um to Rabbi uh and um asked him if uh if he's if he's willing to come to France and uh he said uh yes uh if you know if if we have to prepare for it you know I'm willing to do it he goes and he said what what do we need to do in order to get you to come he says well how many Jews are in France and he says uh I think he said something like 600,000 and this was like in a live lecture and he said to him okay well it begins with 600,000 tapes being sent and distributed to all the people there meaning every person has to have meaning somebody has to sponsor 600,000 uh tapes or CDs or whatever it was uh and that was just the beginning and eventually they got them it was a big event got him to come to France and they did something uh you know huge over there uh but it was only possible because not just because the uh the rabbi wanted to come or the people wanted him to come but rather because people willing to invest the resources necessary to make it worth it I understand that there are some people that there are some rabbis and even really good rabbis that are willing to travel that are willing to go you know in many different places and I applaud them for it uh I'm just you know I'm just not that guy I'm I'm I'm not that healthy and I'm not that uh uh you know I have enough to do so if I'm going to go somewhere for an event it has to be you know it has to be event that I would consider Superior to me just simply doing an online lecture if I'm going to have the same amount of people watching whether I go or uh or or I'm or I'm there then why why why all the extra work you understand so that's uh so you know I'm happy to go I would like to go even though it's suffering for me it's it's difficult I'm willing to do it it just has to be worth it has to be worth it oh can you elucidate a little on physical distance what does that even mean I guess you wrote something before why be so relative I don't know what you're saying it's a continuous argument you're having with somebody seems like is it possible for me to see you in person uh when I have events when I have events which is not often anymore I used to have them every week but now I do it probably two or three times a year uh anyone that wants to come is welcome they're free for everyone to join as long as they're decent people and modest they're welcome to join and uh I don't know what my next event is going to be but should be sh soon I located in Florida I live in Florida is there anyone that can remove a debuk today it's possible it's possible um it's certainly nothing like the past but is there somebody that could do it I'd like to believe there is I I haven't seen it myself being done that doesn't mean anything there's a lot that I haven't seen but um is it possible you know there's a few there's a few that they say that they've done it you know I don't know I don't know is it possible it's possible certainly possible the teachings are there there's even teachings available for you for to make a Golem if you really want there's specific teachings of how to make a Golem you know the teachings are available it just doesn't it just doesn't mean that uh even if you have the instructions doesn't necessarily mean that people know all the things that are Unwritten uh to make things possible okay it's two and a half hours much longer than I expected I enjoyed learning with you I appreciate you guys learning with me I hope that this was helpful for
