good
evening before I start I want to thank
you for giving me the honor and
opportunity to share together the topic
of this she tonight the survival of love
that means in our generation love is a
word what doesn't exist that
means the way the
go they say love it's not the true word
they say they say love they mean desire
but it's not not it's not the real word
for
lovees love is
a says in the
a is the is the Lo from half from giving
not accepting when a person has a desire
for somebody else is accepting not
giving love means I I I care for
you that means I have I give for you I
care for
you so
in the in today's world that love should
have
survival is come is come out
impossible is that's the that's the
reason of this she tonight we want that
love should have survival we we look in
the go in the by the tah love has
survival the rambam says when he speaks
about house he says like this
that a person has to love his
wife and he has to respect his life his
wife and when he speaks to the woman the
ra says that a woman should respect
their husband
y means more than
enough the woman should try to make the
husband feel good he knows what the
husband wants she should she should try
the husband should
should
do and also a woman should respect the
husband as if his his husband will be a
king this is the L of the rambam so
again when the rambam speaks for the man
the speaks about a about love you should
love your wife like you love yourself
when she when theam speaks from respect
damam says you should respect your wife
more than you respect yourself when the
ram speaks to woman the ram says a woman
doesn't talk from love the r doesn't say
a woman should love her husband like he
like she loves herself ra doesn't say it
and the ra doesn't say a woman should
respect the
wife more than she respects herself ra
says and ra says a woman should respect
the husband as if he's a king so the
question is why doesn't the ram say
that a husband should respect the wife
as if she's a queen if he is a a king
she should be a queen doesn't say this
so first of all the question is says
should love your wife the same you love
yourself the question is how could we do
this you should we should love our our
wives like we love ourselves question is
why and
how and then we ask why the ra doesn't
say a person should respect wife as if
she is a queen and now the question
what's the ra says that you should
respect a wife should respect the
husband as if he's a queen as if he's a
king he's not a
king the means to say that heish a woman
has to live in an illusion they should
they should make up their mind that it's
not true it's
not do what from the r that yish woman
should
should should respect a husband as if
he's a king he's not if he he would Beki
or big God the biggest okay my husband
isy person but he's not a king he's not
a so what's the from the
r other question in the Tor says
when says like this
says I don't want that should be alone I
will I will
make I will create other person so he
made that UD should fall asleep and he
take he took out a bone and he build a
woman from it and then the T
says because created a woman from the
man so therefore a person should leave
the father and the mother that means a
person should leave the most important
thing for him in life he has to leave
his father and his
mother the wife should be the most
important thing for you in life even
your father your mother gave gave you
birth and this is the you should leave
them you should go to to your
wife so the question is why does the
Torah say this this message only for men
why does the Torah why does the Tora say
this message for woman the T should
say because was created from so a woman
should leave her parents in it should
connect to the to the husband why does
the
T point out this message for men more
than
woman other question the G
says that 10 parts of speech came down
to this world nine of the
nine Parts took the woman the woman took
nine Parts a man took one part that mean
to say that if men are speaking one
million words a day so ladies speak N9
million words a day this was Kaz is
telling us the question is why why why
did make that women are speaking nine
times as much than men the gar says then
when
wanted to
be the first king
on want should meet together
with and they didn't live in the same
country so the same city so wanted they
should
meet made's father his name was Kish he
lost his donkeys and went to to look for
it and he went a few days looking for it
and he didn't he didn't find it then he
was he said for his the guy went with
him maybe we should go ask Ani we should
ask maybe Ani will tell us we the
Don so he asked he asked there is in
this city in the in the place here there
is a Novi so they said
yeah here is the near the city of R and
shovi is living there maybe he maybe
he's home now because the says shovi was
never home he used to travel from one
city to the other City to be to he
wasn't he wasn't at home and waiting
that clis should come to him he went out
to reach in clis so he asked the people
if you know ifov is home today they said
I don't know so they he went to the
city he he was the outside of the city
he found the a few girl girls that was
standing by the
well
and asked them you know know if shovi is
today in town so they said yeah yeah he
coming home today today he coming home
and you know they will because in that
times they will be able to be because it
was it was
so everybody will eat from
the will sit who will sit in the front
from all the people he will give for
everybody to eat and nobody will eat
till will make the because he will make
the then then the the whole Gathering
will eat so the is asking why did they
talk so much this wasn't the question
the question is if Shi is today in town
the answer should be yeah he's coming
home today today what is the whole the
whole thing he's coming home he will be
nobody will eat
he get to the point that's not the the
says yeah that's the way created women
they talk they talk a lot so the
question is why why did create woman to
talk more than men and the gor said gor
says not more the gor says nine times as
much why other
question the husband comes home from sh
shabas shabas in the morning like 11:00
11 is finished and one one shabas there
was a kidish in
a good friends of him of him make made
made a KES and he's a Wy guy he made a
big KES CH and kgle coggle with with a
lot of Liquors wines and he was sitting
there and drinking the gar
says the person starts to drink he
starts to and start comes out the inside
from a person and he started too andoo
Ando Ando he didn't see how the the time
is running
and it's now 12:30 A4 to 1 he runs home
and the wife is asking him why why did
you come home so late because because it
was a kidish I started to drink a little
bit you
know why did did you not why did you
forget from me I didn't forget from you
you know why do you make a why do you
make a a issue from a tisue what what's
what's what what happened here nothing
happened no it happened you forgot from
me I didn't I'm telling you I didn't
forgot from you
I I I drank a little bit and I started
too so so what's the big deal now you
always are doing it I never do it and he
he is the best husband he never is doing
it he always cares about the wife he's
doing the whole five love languages you
know the the five love languages he
always buys presents for her he always
smoes with her he gives a quality time
he always helps her when when needed and
he he's always there for her so and she
is telling him you always are doing it
it's not true and the St not true and he
never comes home late and the message is
you always are doing it so he he tries
to argue with you I don't understand you
what happened here and she is saying she
is saying you you never understand me
you always are doing it to me you never
understand me and it's not true why does
she act like this why why does she say
you never care for me you you you you
always act like
this
so we'll try to answer the first
question we we brought the r that a
person should love the wife like you
love yourself so I asked what's the
what's a a person should love the wife
the same way he loves himself
why the T says the P I bring before
should leave the father and the
mother means
because
created from when created he didn't
create a a male and a female like
created all animals in this world when
created this world he he created male
and female
only by people created udam alone and
then he created from udam he created why
why did not
create in the
beginning you can in the beginning he
wanted to create only only one person
and he
saw it's impossible should be alone so
changed his mind so made up his mind he
will he will create other person first
of all doesn't make mistakes and didn't
didn't want in the beginning to create
only one and also kazal is telling kazal
tell us that that KES in the beginning
wanted to create male and female he
wanted to create the woman too so why
didate so thean
explains that he wanted that people they
should be a couple it's not like animals
animals doesn't exist exist such a thing
from a couple one day this male lives
with that female the other day with the
other one it's not one couple for Life
wanted the people they should be a they
should be a couple they should get
married and this is the couple for life
so made that udam should be alone then
was created from udam so udam had a
feeling that it's it's his it's mine
it's part of me so that way udam had a
feeling that my wife is not a separate
thing it's it's me my it's
myself so this message wanted that
everybody should have everybody should
feel that my wife is part of me so the T
says because created
from wants that we should also have this
feeling
a person should leave the father and the
mother a person should leave the most
important thing what's important for
him should go to the wife because the
wife should be number one the wife
should be the most important thing for
him so the question is by us is not the
same
like was created from so that
way had the feeling that she that she's
one with has the feeling that she's one
with but by us it's not like this the
men are created from his parents the
ladies are created from from her parents
and they're together now so why a person
should feel its one so the explains that
the to the the the the man and the woman
before they come down to this world they
won they won and then before they enter
this world they get split in two one
part of theisha goes in the man the
other part of theisha goes in the woman
woman and then when they got married
they're together
one it you look like the sh read this
and that it seems that thought
that this this sounds a match this
sounds a m it's not what the is is
reading it's it's a couple means that's
the man and the woman they were one
before they enter this world and they
got split it in two when they get
married they are together and they're
one
so this is what the Z is saying the Z
says that when when men and woman are
together it's
a it's it's not like animals when two
animals are together like it's it's it's
not only the the G the thing what
together it's more the thing because the
the husband and wife are one they are
one and when they are together that they
they are together one
they're now one so it's it's more it's
more a it'ses it's says it's the biggest
Kad when husband or wife are together is
the the biggest kind of what could be in
this world when
a spoke
to he was in the in the Mish it
was came down
to what
was was
was the was two statues one of a man and
a woman they're hugging each other that
means spoke
to like when under the two c they're
hugging each other that's the biggest
place where wants to be in this world
that means that when husband and wife
are together it's back the Thea gets
back one and that's the the biggest type
of to be in this world
so so this is what the T says the T says
you should know when you are with your
wife you are one you one so why you why
you should love your wife because it's
it's part of
me should leave your father and your
mother your father and your mother with
you is not one your father and your
mother is not one with you your father
and your mother only gave you birth it's
a thing your wife with you is one it's
one it's m one thing so says you should
love your wife the same way you love you
love yourself and then the ra
says what
means should respect more than you
respect
yourself one of the reasons made that
women should should have speech nine
times as much for men we know we all
know that men are more logic and women
and women are more emotional why why are
women more emotional and men are more
Logic the
says it's not good should be
alone
explains means it's not good should be
alone created with a passion of giving a
man only FS a man when he has he has for
somebody to give he wants to be wants to
feel that he is a giver he is a no so
wanted create a woman a woman should
have the
opposite feeling not the feeling from
giving only the feeling from
accepting it's not good a person should
be alone because a person has to have
the feeling from giving so if would
create a woman with also the feeling
from giving it will not be
good I will make hel from the I will
make the opposite nature not the nature
from a man the man has the nature from
being a giver and the nature from a
woman is to accept she wants to accept
love she she wants to feel that somebody
loves her some somebody cares for her
and that way udam will have the the
capability to give us somebody to give
love for his wife and the wife will have
the man who gives who gives her love and
that way will be a wonderful couple if
the woman would have the same feeling
like UD it will not be good
soate should be the opposite their
feeling should be the opposite he should
have the feeling from giving from being
AIA she should have the feeling from
accepting somebody cares for her and
that way
so the
says that means because the woman they
need love so the T says you should leave
your father and your mother you should
leave the most important thing for you
in
life your wife should be number one that
means the wife has to feel that you have
that you love her number one of this
world you should leave your father your
mother you should go to your wife that
means you have to you have to make your
wife feel that she is number one the T
doesn't say it for a woman because men
doesn't have to feel that I'm number one
by my wife this is not what men needs
men are needing to feel that I'm needed
a man is a so a man has to feel I am
needed so the woman has to respect the
husband if he is a king what means if he
a king is not a king that means to say
that he is a king he is a mashia this is
what the ra means to the R means to say
the woman has to make the husband feel
all the time that he is the mashia he is
the king he is the giver so he will feel
needed this is what a husband needs a
husband needs to feel needed a woman
needs to feel loved so when the ram is
talking about love the ramam says
you should love your wife the same way
love yourself but ra doesn't say it for
woman
that why because a husband doesn't need
it a husband doesn't need love a husband
needs feeling needed so
says should respect the husband and you
should respect him if he is a king he is
needed but the ra say saying for the man
you should love your wife like you love
yourself because this is what woman need
woman need to feel that my husband loves
me my husband cares for me what was the
mean created woman they should speech
they should have much much much more
speech than men the reason is created
women women are created with
feelings and man like I said before is
more a man is not so much with feelings
more logical why because
created the person
with because he has a he he has to be
logic he has to know when to give what
to give a woman because a woman is not
not a she is a so she is made with
feelings she she she should feel she
should respect she should accept the
love from her husband that's the reason
created women they should be emotional
because they are made more with feelings
that's the way created woman that's the
way a woman accepted ex is accepting
love so when a a woman is talking the
reason why she is talking because she's
bringing out her her feelings a man
usually don't a a man doesn't doesn't
talk to bring out his feelings when a
man talks usually is when the he knows
why what he's feeling before he knows
what he's feeling he will not talk women
they talk to bring out their feelings
they don't know what they what they feel
so the to bring out their
feelings the feelings should come out
with speech so because of created woman
with feelings so they they have much
more speech than men and the g says nine
times as much so again when a woman
talks a lot in a man will the husband
will tell for the wife stop to talk like
a woman that means in other words stop
to be a woman don't be a woman B she is
a woman he got married to a woman B so
he will he will tell him stop stop to
talk like a woman means don't be a woman
you got married to a woman this is a
woman so so when he when the husband is
telling for the for the husband for the
husband is telling for the wife like get
to the point get to the point no the
says no women don't get to the point the
way women talk they
talk that's the way so
says you should respect your wife more
than you respect yourself meaning when
you talk talk to her you should know you
talk to a woman you don't talk to a man
so even when you talk with your friend
and your friend is talking like like a
woman you're telling for your friend go
get to the point and don't don't be so
emotional be a little bit more logical
when you talk to your wife don't talk
that way
you should respect your wife more than
you respect
yourself so that way it it will it will
the love will have a says like
this love your your wife like you love
yourself and and the reason why I love
her like I said before because it's one
with me it's one it's one it's one like
I said it's one but a lot of times it's
it's very hard for a person like you
know
I'm also married it's not so so easy so
says try to work on the respect you
should respect her more than you respect
yourself that way you will come to the
love that you will love like you love
yourself so now now now we will come to
the the question we asked why when the
husband comes home like a hour and a
half
late why why does the the wife get so
angry what happened here It's a Long
Afternoon 7 o' they they It's a Long
Afternoon she it didn't got didn't got
messed up the afternoon because he came
home an hour and a half
late why what bothers her the answer is
it bothers her because she feels she's
not number one this is the feeling when
I when I when when when a woman is
feeling I'm not number one by my husband
that means something else is more
important by by him she doesn't feel
good she feels she feels horrible that's
the reason she feels she she does it
makes her angry so when when she is
telling for the husband you always are
doing it she doesn't she doesn't mean to
say that all the times he coming coming
home late no she he's not coming home
late she means to say I feel now so
horrible as if you always are doing it
like I said before created woman with
nine times of speech than men that that
doesn't mean like I said before if men
talk one million words a day so how much
will a woman talk N9 million words a day
no this is not theat the way a woman
expresses herself could be nine times as
much than when so when she Express
herself take down take take it like put
it divided in in nine take one part of
it when she is telling you you always
are doing is she doesn't mean always she
means to say my feeling now is so hurt
that that if you're doing it to me all
the way you never care for me she
doesn't mean to say you never care for
me you mean to say she means to say I
feel now so so alone as if you never
care for me but if we ask her I never
care for you yeah she sure she knows she
knows that he's the best husband but her
feelings now in the inside is as if you
never care for
me so what should the husband
answer the husband does
shouldn't fight with her why do you say
like this I don't know I don't know I I
came home one one time it came on late
you you make such an issue from nothing
no no no don't not this way other way
she tell for your wife you know I feel I
feel what you feel I feel very bad for
you and I understand you and this is it
she doesn't need more than this you
understand her that's the biggest love
language you have to you have to show
her your understander so even you're
angry inside no I don't want to
understander but make up your mind
says should be you should give give her
respect more than you respect yourself
me to say this is what she needs now she
needs that you should understand her
when she feels understood she is okay
and you will have the best Su the shabas
like never before so before I finish I
want to I want to I want to say one
thing like in in in today today's work
we work together man and woman there's a
CH he says in that times they used to
they they woman you and they started to
work by by men and they it started to
work men and wom together the says it
was never like this it was never such a
thing in cla's rule man and woman should
work together but it happened and today
that's the way word goes men and woman
are working together and we see a lot of
times the man the man has a the boss has
a good time too with the secretary and
Theo goes very well I said before to say
when it comes to the
wife that you have to work on yourself
that you should be able too with your
wife even even she she even she's
talking nine times as much from men but
you have to try don't tell her get to
the point and don't tell her
don't be a little bit logic don't be so
emotional don't be a lady you should you
should
be but we see when it comes to the
secretary when it comes to men of woman
working together they have a good they
can like 10 hours 10 hours and it goes
why if if created man a woman should be
so differently why when it comes not to
the not a couple in the it
goes the G explains why a person loves
to to to talk Lara you know a good
gossip you know it's it's it's G why
what so G you say that person you feel
so good about it what so what's the
feeling what's
so so the explains
that is the
biggest so because the is the biggest
when you speak at that time you'll be
able to learn and be and do the big
mitah on the world so the doesn't want a
person should learn to so what's what's
the he makes that should be even you
don't understand what you speak about
other person he did this he did that so
what so what but he puts in in the the
speak English that way a person will not
will not learn the same we can say
here
the the connection from from man and
woman when it's not when the doesn't
want it is the biggest yeah the
says that's the biggest thing a person
has to be Kos with his wife he has to be
connected but with other woman we are
not allowed to even talk St talk so
the Sayes why should a man go talk to a
woman they are so
differently they it will never happen so
thear makx it should be sweet it should
to be so G when it comes to your wife
it's a Mitzvah then comes in I don't I
don't have patience I don't have
patience so says yeah you have to you
have to work on yourself you have to
have patience but when it comes to to
not to your wife when he doesn't want
this connection the makes it really
sweet you could talk like 10 12 hours in
one shot and you will it will not once
feel I don't have patience to talk to
woman because this is the makes it very
sweet so this is what you have to work
on yourself if you want at home the love
should be really strong the only way is
when by the work you you you're going by
the guidelines from
Al there's what you allow to talk to
woman what not allow to talk when when
you come in in to work you have you have
the you have your
secretary you you have to tell her good
morning good night you have to talk to
her normally it's not it's not it's when
you when you work with somebody you have
a connection but you have to watch very
very carefully the connection should
only be a connection what's related for
work it should be a connection from
Friendship friendship no it's not your
friend man and woman is one friend your
husb husband and wife has to have to be
friends but when you have a
workmate it's not your friend friend
it's not friendship friendship is also
the Tora doesn't let and it's not
it's not look see it that's the reason I
made the book 9 to5 because there were a
lot of people they said it's not it's
only it's not true
it's after I made the book I had a lot
of T telephone calls they called me
you're so stupid
yeah I told them look up every I I I
brought him a from look it up and then
you should tell me if it's blown
macaroni so I I I got a few telephone
calls after two weeks they told me Rabbi
I'm sorry I didn't I didn't know I'm
sorry I'm really sorry but this is and
again
wanted this not because he hates us it's
the opposite he wanted we should we
should have real love in
home our wife should feel that she is
number one a lot of times a person works
works together with a with a female and
they they the the is developing a
connection and the wife is feeling left
out she doesn't know why but she's
feeling she's she's feeling she's not
number one so wanted that he should
always have Shalom he should always have
shom
it should always the wife should always
feel that she is number one
so when you work with her with female
you have to know there's there is
guidelines and you will not break the
guidelines you have real Shalom bias you
will have the real love your love will
have survival and the says when you
have when you have you have when you
have you have you have good children and
should help you should
we should all be to have good children
we should
have and
