It was incredible story with >> that in those days everyone made weddings Friday afternoon. >> That was the minute. Friday afternoon were the weddings. >> And uh Friday night people came to say you know they came to like a basically. So one Friday night there was a family who lived not far from the shul across the street from the jeul and they were not shabas and the music was playing and there comes to d comes and the music is playing. They sent the messenger who said stop not right now it's huh. So the uh they laughed at him. They threw him out. They came back to the told him what this what they said. The Mus sent him again. He said, "This is the last warning. I'm warning you the last time if you don't stop." Wow. Of course, they kicked the guy out and the entire house collapsed on them. They all got killed. That's the Once upon a time. >> They weren't afraid to use it. >> Huh? hair that's young that bone that's new >> could be could be every story as age goes as the years go by >> maybe maybe not >> the beard grows longer and longer >> but this is a >> that's a famous story >> okay so we have this week we have originally originally moihi corn yeah >> had requested this shar >> and he wanted requested You requested >> but uh >> I requested the children. >> Yes. He says he requested children and giggle. >> It's not true. >> He made the move. >> Yeah. He made the move. He came over to me. >> It's true. It's true. True. He twisted my arm and I said okay >> thank you. But uh so this week I have a few interesting pieces of the first pieces in beautiful. So this week starts if we will listen at the end we will listen to mitzvah tells us reward many many good things as we mentioned last week that the entire safe for the ishenu's his goodbye to >> and like like that the reason the reason he he rebuked them only before he passed away this was and he passed away zod 37 days later for the last month of his life he reminded him of all the all the problems they gave him the 40 years in the midbar and everything and all the all the trouble that he made all the years. So this is part of the u part of the rebuke and now he's giving them good stuff rewards. Huh? >> I will soon you soon find out. >> You'll soon find out he talks about it. >> Yeah. If >> if in exchange >> if says exchange >> inch exchange for what you're going to listen to you're going to get. Yeah. Basically if you're going to listen. So says what we have to understand is it will be what's going to be talking about the he tells later on that if you're going to listen to he's going to be what what's if you're going to listen will keep his promise that he promised you what's the point in saying if it'll be if you're going to Listen, another thing we have to understand if you're going to listen. If you will go on the wise of if you will listen. So what's the mitzvah that a person steps upon like the the unimportant mitzvah that a person thinks they're not so important but he says in theor has a whole says by The whole the whole over there many different different places. But where saysim the master of all the prophets in all generations. He came with his pleasant words to tell us say a person cannot rejoice in this world. says if you listen to all's commandments then he can rejoice but as long as a person feels that he wasn't all thee everything to the last detail to the last upon someone like that what are you happy about like the famous story somebody once came to Kany and he said he wants a braha was a braha said I bought a very fancy car I'm afraid of iron said asked him you know the whole sh said you know at least one of said no says who's going to be jealous of you who's going to be jealous of you so I said he said the same the same said you're happy what are you happy is the heel. The heel of a person all the way in the bottom. So at the end if you're going to be all the mashem all down all the way down to the bottom. We see the last the last steps of the end. We're living right >> then. Why said the rabbit get no >> it would only be val would have been in. He says >> no but might have first. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> In the end, that's what he said. >> Yes. He brings a bad word at the end. If you listen all the way down to the bottom of every single mitzvah, they can be happy. Otherwise, what are you happy about? >> Because the end of time will come. It's called the last steps, the the heels. >> Yeah. If you will listen to theem and you will heed everything, every command of all the way down to the last one. >> Yeah. If a person has not arrived to that point of listening to every single what are you happy about? Take a smile with your face. like a person who abstains from from the mundane person who absolut feels that he's not it's not good enough. He wants to do better or better but he has he has an external smile. He's always happy. How can a person be happy if he's going to stand with shame and disgrace? At the end of time 120 they're going to come up to and they're going to ask you did you do what you're supposed to do in this world and I can know where to bury yourself. So a person was in that m what are you happy about? What are you happy about? And even more so if you done such a that you you deserve the death penalty head >> the head chopped off. So if you're going to listen to all you're going to heed all the bits of he continues and he says he fixes the at the end. If he has listened to everything and as long as he's still alive and you haven't reached the end, at >> 80 years. He was kind of 80 years and became a which means that even a person is is on the highest level. You don't know until you close your eyes. Once you're you're down under, then you know that it's done. Then you can rejoice. >> So you never you never you never feel secure, right? Always more to do. not down a person's a person loses a loved one. You're and you're not allowed to learn. Why? Because makes a person happy. Come say goodbye to everyone. He's leaving. Oh, so nice. >> I want to stay. I want to stay. >> That's later. >> Have us all the mind. >> We should get here before. [Music] Sorry. The mitzvah of straight makes a person happy. The reward that you get for learning is the alone is also. So what's what's the mitzvah? The mitzvah brings another mitzvah. What's the other mitzvah? The sim that you have by learning to the mitzvah mitzvah mitzvah that you get is the also mitzvah >> on top of what he says before. >> Yeah. So you have you have a double mitzvah. Once you get there, you're a double learning and the reward for that is >> and alone is also mitzvah. There's no greater joy joy for the like the time when he didn't learn to has is when he didn't learn to is happy. So if we listen to Hashem, we learn to so Hashem is happy. >> When Hashem is happy. Oh coin. So when Hashem is happy, Hashem is everything in the world, right? Everything in the world is Hashem. There's nothing but him. So if everything is happy, everything's happy. Hashem is happy, which is everything. >> We're happy. So that's in the word a is the heel. So we know that the person who's humble walks doesn't walk humble. So the is also and a person walking humble a person is humble it'll be to understand the depth of the deeper and deeper. You will hear deeper things which you haven't heard. If a person is humble like the heels of the foot of the foot understand you got to understand deeper and deeper will reveal to him Hashem says all the mitzvah if you will heed them properly you will live and you will multiply. [Music] He's he's going to explain this person according to the mama children life longevity has nothing to do with Muslim it depends on your Muslim. So we spoke about once that although it says a Muslim is >> the cloud is above the Muslim. So the the the explained that is the he is our Muslim. So a person connects to a higher level. So you're way above the is the oil >> which is really which is really it's not real because the is the yesh we're the we the iron >> the opposite >> you are the opposite but the created the world yes so we think we are yesesh but the mish is the the real yes >> but In any case he says so if you keep the toilet properly if they will strain themselves they're guaranteed you're guaranteed to have these three things explains explains it in the life, longevity, you'll multiply [Applause] promised us you'll have the whole world and everything that's in it. We bought the cold tool. Hashem says when you come to you'll find the houses full of all the goodies which you didn't have to work for. You got it free. So if we keep the toy properly, we do all this. So now we see >> the fridge filled itself. >> Yeah. It's like the say shall grow on the trees. >> Cakes cakes will grow on the tree. >> Cakes not cakes not healthy but bread. >> Bread. Okay. >> But what healthy? >> So what will the corns do? >> Oi and watch it grow. >> Something to look forward to. Okay. >> The corn tree. >> Oh, cornbread. >> The cornbread from a corn tree. >> So now we see somebody laborers. I'll bring you I'll bring I'll prove it to you says that was and was they couldn't have children but because he labored and he strained himself to do his mang. [Music] So many good pieces this week. You got your you got your wishes. [Music] You should remember because he's the one that gives you the person has to pay attention to the fact that is so good to him because everything we have is from him. It's all gifts. The person remembers constantly every deal that I make, every stone that I buy and every watch that I sell is nobody else. And the first trick where he tries to trap us, he wants us to forget that. He doesn't want us to remember at all points. You make a deal, a real estate deal, whatever it is. You sell a good car, make a good deal. A new bakery, new bakery opened up and they're taking bread from corn. You have to know it's not comes into a person by distorting this this this detail. That's how he gets him. >> Yeah. Maybe perhaps right after that it says if you're going to forget if you're going to forget that Hashem is the one who gives you every single detail in life. It's not only in business. You have a good wife, you have a good house, you have a good car, you have a good children. Every single detail the person has in life is from >> and you have to remember that constantly. constantly remind yourself cuz it's works on us all the time to forget. Once you forget that, you're in trouble. You're going to forget completely. You're gonna go he'll bow down to your and we know that it says that the money is and cover all these things. >> Huh? Yes, could be could be could become >> if you rely on it more than you rely on who becomes your desire. >> Ask a couple of billionaire >> for those days. >> No, these days also >> these days you don't talk to your wife, you don't talk to your kids, you want money >> working more than working like Boston. >> Ask Ask Ask a billionaire. Ask a billionaire. He thinks nothing can happen. Nothing can change it. The biggest man that is chasing the buck not the biggest man has also given my whole goal and a rich man that wanted to die with his car now he did he went into the grave with his car million car >> you think you think you think you think the worms didn't get in >> your roach the richest people in the world said he says >> I'll never die for hunger. >> And he died from hunger. >> He died from hunger. He died from hunger. Locked into the safe. >> He rode with blood in the world. All his money in the world. He said never say never say never say never. Huh. comes out. We just learned those who learned if someone who bows down to was a crazy type of throw stones. That was >> so the the of this was by throwing stones. But if you bow down to it, >> which is not the you're still ugly. >> Yeah, >> you're still ugly. >> But but even though it's not the Yeah, >> cuz it's not the D. What's why you bow down to it? stupid stone. Remembering this that gives us everything in life that is foundation form. And if a person is lacking this thing will get you down down down till they destroy you. She says we say it every day of the >> Yeah. He says, "I heard if a person says everything that he eats, he doesn't take anything into his mouth if he doesn't say a proper and after when this person leaves the world after 120." Yeah. What's going on here? Can you start late? >> Cockroaches. >> Can you start late? >> What? >> What if we start at 25? >> Yeah. Can we >> start today? Any day? It doesn't matter. >> Yeah, but what about the couple years behind >> it? Gets it gets if you do chuva get everything gets gets wiped. >> So, this is a very frightening and it's not a but it's not only frighten but it's also it's a it's it's very it's very good feeling. If you know that you say every brahen first brah and after brahim the way it should be you're guaranteed that the worms will not touch you. >> Wow. Pretty crazy huh? Can I ask can I ask how that benefits >> how it benefits a person said one little bite that they take is like sticking a needle into someone's someone's body >> I think I think as long as he's not upstairs. Now, this is the indicator down here. >> Yeah, the guy is already flying >> there. You're not flying. Your is flying. Your body is here. >> If the say that is what it is, >> but we have a have we have an tell me the result. He says if you make done >> Yeah. Saya properly before and after, he guaranteed that the worms are not going to touch you. >> Why? And do what you didn't. He explains because the worms are part of the says that will eat you and your person says food the ultimate house. The the ultimate house, the final destination. Like Miller, the B said, he was once he once going to cemetery, he had to be he put it in the GPS. When he arrived, he says, "Yeah, reach your final destination." >> But we know the came out of his >> heard cuz heard, >> right? >> 17 years. >> Yeah. Yeah. But but his body was whole for 17 years. >> 17 years he was whole. He was living in the buried answering questions. >> He wasn't buried. >> Answering questions. >> He was Yeah. He was answering questions. >> Ask and he answered. >> So you see that the body is 227. They're announcing in his house. Don't touch his house. This guy made properly. He's he's he's blessed. You can't touch him. He He remind He remembers and he reminds Hashem's name and everything that he eats. He doesn't he doesn't enjoy anything in this world without blessing. That's why he's saved from the worms. So when a person eats, what happens with the food they eat, you grow from it. So you grew from we know that doesn't curse does not have any in a place where and since all of the flesh is >> yeah your whole body you grew from and the is very very strong in these things not to not not to say properly that's I once heard somebody saying in the morning what >> say is an explanation and he elaborates are much better delivery. >> They're more mak to say properly. >> They don't have better delivery. They they just deliver better because they >> say about the Spanish every word is okay >> is very very holy. So theor gets him some somewhere else. Gets him somewhere else. Gets everywhere. And so he's a malik human. >> Huh? >> Okay. Says he explains the the uh the insights of the mitzvah. At least I have a forb. Somebody who says he will have all his life. >> You can make all time that your belly is still full. >> What? What >> you can make all time that you still >> but Gmorrah says Gimmorra says says a sh >> if you ate somewhere if you ate somewhere and then you you're somewhere else can you bench over there? So the says if a person was picking fruit from a tree it was on top of the tree and he left a he left his wallet with a million dollars there will he go back of course he go back. That's >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Golden. >> Yeah. The golden press. >> You go back. Of course you go back. So why shouldn't you go back to bench? >> It's a guarantee for golden golden what? >> A golden bottle or something. because >> if you're in the same same room and it's the other room. Yeah, but not if you're in Burough Park and you >> Yeah, but not >> you can see it on you see it on the web. You want to finish >> it's a guarantee. It's a guarantee for Hello. >> Yeah. Look at the next who was the after the bento who was the rich who was the who was the the afterto he said you should be careful to be more more careful by more than domin And if a person is he has when he benches it creates it brings down love. Hashem brings down love to this world and all the worlds pour upon us. So he brings an interesting over here. So once came to his and he said I need a my son doesn't like the bench. What do I do? So I said to him very simple if you're going to bench at home every word loud your son is going to learn from you bench. We know that every child wants to be like his father. If your father's a fireman wants to be a fireman. If your father is a a singer your son wants to be a singer. Your father sells cars wants to sell cars. If your father's a baker wants to be a baker. That's the that's the fact. So if you see a father benching also benchlam was a big inlam was a big reb in in Poland. He had very big following very big and he wanted to run away from it. He was a so he ran alone without nobody knew who he was. He was hanging around for quite a few years. Nobody knew who he was. He was undercover until finally someone from Poland came and said you know who this is there's a big pish story told told about him that he used to he used to sit in shuk makuda by an Arab Arab who was baking pock he used to sit there every day nobody understood why he's sitting there they once asked him >> before they knew who he was >> yeah someone so somebody asked him like no no they asked him what are you doing with this Arab So he said he he sits there and he he cuts little pieces of wood and throws it into the fire. It should be pass people should not eat pastum. So he befriended this Arab who was baking and everybody was buying from him. He wanted to make sure that he didn't eat proper bread. The big sed what year was your passed away in the >> 70s? 80 years ago. That's so long ago. >> I don't remember him. >> Before the war. Right before the war. >> No, no, no.

He said like this. If you want your children to be bench from inside, children should see that you bench from inside. And that's is We got to do all this. What is this? >> No, no, no. We left a while ago. You were in LA years ago who was a Talik of Dariz. He was the only one that said he's allowed to write his 30s. He writes in my the the most the most the most important way the most crucial way how a person can reach through the a person has. If you have every time you make a on food things that you enjoy that is the way to reach through that we make we know that everything physical this world has so it's like feeling a peanut And so when a person says the clippers disintegrate, they run away. Crazy. >> Yeah. Also very holy man, very holy rabbi. He wrote he wrote it he wrote a very very long elaborate to his children right before he passed away and it's printed in his sacred he writes to his children I I will write to you my beloved children something I want you to remember He he reveals to them something that he did all his life before which I which I did after I ate in privacy. He ate in his little he had a little house and had a little room where he ate here private. He didn't want to be bothered by anyone. You know that all my life I ate myself. I was always feared. I was always worried that the middle of benching someone will come knocking at the door and he'll disturb me from benching. I'm not going to have my creator God. Please save me. No one should come bother me while I'm benching. After I finish benching and the bench, nobody bothered me. I thanked Hashem with a tremendous joy. I thank you Hashem my creator that you saved me that nobody disturbed me in the middle of benching and and and disturbed my so we have here we have for we have for good children by worms >> yeah guaranteed the worms shouldn't eat us that's a big that's a big The worms very powerful. >> Don't leave him. >> That's for the you make you. >> What's the whole problem? rolls is is one of the 2025 bluffs.

He gives you he gives you which property to buy. says that the evil people are constantly regretting. They keep on doing bad things and they have regrets all the time. So he asked the if the person is always regretting the bad things that he done he's regretting he doesn't keep on going and doing it says a person gives kadition to a woman I'll deny the condition if I'm a sadic but the Russian Why? Maybe for that split second he thought. We're now talking about spiritual things that he regrets that he did wrong and he then he what does it mean physical things the person does doesn't he doesn't move in life business move in life and then he says ah I should have done it this way I should have done that way if I would have done it like this it would have happened like that that's a lack a lack in the because whatever happens in our life it's all from up from above she's talking lay down she call we call Everything that he does and everything that happens to him in life, it's all whatever comes into your mind, do it this way, do it that way, the other way.

You think, "Ah, I should have bought that stone." No, you shouldn't have bought that stone because that's what Hashem wanted. >> I should have made this real estate deal. No, I shouldn't. Somebody offered me a good contracting job and I didn't take it. Ah, don't regret it. Everything that happens happens from Hashem's will. got it. And if you regret certain things, somebody called you for a good trip, you thought it was a good trip and you turned it down and you regret it. Why did I turn it down? I could have made some money. No, he doesn't believe. Okay. That's what's called the Russian. If you doubt that whatever you did or didn't do is not from the you have a problem. Only thing that we can do is [Music] Okay, I think we'll stop here. Have everyone wants to take it home and enjoy the rest of it? >> Very, very good stuff today. Very good stuff.
