MIKEITZ: Decree To End Your Suffering | STUMP THE RABBI (253)

What happened? He made a memorial for his wonders. Gracious and compassion problems again. remembers his workcl. >> That's what that's what Forever in truth and fairness to his people. He commanded his eternity. Holy and awesome. The beginning of wisdom is we are back here on everything. We're back here after a break where we had to hashem continue our journey and uh have a surgery and uh fittingly enough as a kadesh always does it everything is in the para that's what the para is going to talk about where uh we're going to talk about ending of the suffering there's a lot of uh people suffering oh I see that Facebook is suffering from a little bit of uh difficulties. Doesn't have any more. So, it keeps going down. Uh so, anybody that wants to watch could just watch on BH live, bh.live or on uh YouTube or on um one of the uh Tik Tok uh that we have the Shir on. Can't continue playing with this Facebook nonsense. Uh so, with that being said, we we have Phatmik kits. Parad Mik continues the story of Ysef Sadik and his suffering journey. But in this week's para, the suffering takes a turn for the best where in an instant everything ends and turns 180 degrees to the positive way. He goes from being a prisoner in a hole full of filth, full of filthy people, full of horrible things to being the leader of Egypt. If it wasn't for Perau, he would be the king of Egypt. That's in essence what Po told him. Aside from the uh ring, aside from the uh my position of being par, that's it. You have control. And the truth is that we all wish to reach that day for our own personal suffering, especially people that are going through some of the most difficult parts of their life. But how does it work? When does Hashem decree that the suffering is going to end? This and much more is what we're going to discuss tonight after going through our own journey and thanking Hashem for every part of it. So has a extraordinary thing where right off the bat we get to learn how works so differently from us. A person that understands and values wisdom knows that in order to get answers you have to go to the wise men. But what can we do that sometimes people are clever or smart or intelligent in some things but foolish spiritually. And the same thing goes with Po. Pero was a very smart person. I'm sure that his IQ was very high but spiritually he was stupid because after having a dream that he understood was a real dream he understood was not a normal dream because everything was the opposite of what the human brain the human mind thinks like where he sees that the fat big cows are being eaten by the ugly skinny cows. If cows would eat cows in the first place, logically speaking, you would think that it's the fat cows eating the skinny ones. But here, the exact opposite happened. The uh the grains that uh were sprouting uh you know, the that were healthy and good were destroyed by the ones that were uh uh sickly and and and and disheveled. Everything was the opposite of what the human mind can handle and can comprehend. And of course he was agitated and he went to his wise people. But his wise people are all liars just like him. The necromancers, the wizards, the idol worshippers. And of course, none of them can provide him an answer. But gives us a little hint of how he works and manages this world. where this is one of the many other lessons in the Torah where tell us we accept the truth regardless of where it comes from. Meaning so long as we know it's the truth. We heard from Bil's donkey the truth even though it was a donkey. Here po is surrounded by a bunch of his wise men. But the truth comes from the guy that handles the wine. The guy that the cup bearer, he's the one that's in charge of wine. I'm not even sure that anybody's ever heard his voice. Certainly did not ask him for any advice, but that's who Hashem chose to deliver the message of what's going to take you to the next step. And Po was receptive. Desperate times call for desperate measures. But one thing that we see also is that this cupbearer, this guy that's in charge of the wine identifies how we would all like to be identified as an as a Jew. Now again keep in mind we are many hundreds of years couple hundred years to be exact or almost 300 years before matanto meaning there's no Jewish people the Torah hasn't been given at Mount Si yet there isn't a bet mikdash there isn't aim there isn't millions of Jews this is a small family of about 70 people. That's the Eraim. That's Yakovu and his and his children and his grandchildren. That's all you have. But yet the cup bearer could identify this, this Jew. And he says, "I was in the prison in the hole in the dungeon after Pero was upset with me and me and the Sofim, the uh Chamberlain of Bakers, both had a dream and this I this Hebrew youth gave us clarification of what the dreams are and exactly what he said happened. Now, if this was today and somebody said, "Listen, I got some guidance. I met this Jewish guy, this rabbi." This wouldn't necessarily be so unusual. Why? Because there's anywhere you go in the world, you're going to find Jews. Even though we are very few in comparison to the total population, still you're always going to find some clever Jew somewhere. It's easily identifiable. But here in a time where there's literally countless people in the world and just 70 Jews, 70 Ysef made himself identifiable by the way that he looked by his potim say that Ysef used to play with his curls and worry and groom himself which made his made him uh some say frown upon by his brothers because of that as he was considered a youth like a child. And we could see that anyone that's a little older, no longer a teenager knows, you know, the teenagers, the 20 year olds, they all, you know, they spend a lot of time in front of the mirror. Not necessarily very healthy to to do too much of it if you're a uh if you're a guy, but nonetheless, today it's become the norm. This is not a new thing. But uh the point is is that it's a uh different between Ysef and anyone else that you could imagine because Ysef was a sadik. Ysef was holy. Holy enough that it wasn't just his looks, wasn't just his good looks that caught the cup bearer and the wine bearer's uh uh the the the uh the baker's uh attention and everybody else's attention. Ysef spoke differently. Ysef handled himself differently. Yousef was different. Now, there's plenty of people that look different now, probably more than ever, but you could still tell they're like a bay. They're like a, you know, they're different and unusual and something you want to stay away from. And you certainly don't want them to be helping you in the middle of the night, in the middle if you get stuck on the side of the road. But here we're talking about someone that even this Egyptian idol worshipper understood this one is different in a very positive way. Now of course makes the command okay he's so different he's good with dreams bring him. But Torah uses very specific language to teach us an important lesson. After Pero makes the decree to bring Ysef in front of him, the Torah could have simply said, "And they brought Ysef and Ysef stood in front of but it doesn't." Says, cried Ysef. So sent and summoned Ysef and they rushed him from the dungeon. many years ago when I first learned this with my dear Ra Rab explained to me the Torah is teaching us not just a lesson about Ysef of how he was commanded to appear in front of the par right away but no it's a lesson for us that once the decree is over that means it no longer has the permission to exist exist for even a second. And therefore, when the time came for the decree of difficulty, for to end, it no longer had the right to exist for an extra second. Therefore, akad made sure they hurried him and they rushed him out of the dungeon and within no time he is wearing clothes of someone that's part of the elite. Theim teach us that just as a said and we see in the story story of Purim where brought the cure before the element the whole thing with Ham. He does this with everything else. But furthermore, the tell us that decrees for the ailment a day for it to cure the same time he decrees for it to start. Meaning each ailment, each series of suffering, each difficulty that is decreed upon anybody has an ending date, an expiration date. The day that he got sick already had a date of when he will no longer be sick. That may be the next day. That may be the next year. That may be a decade later. That may be 19 years later. But nonetheless, the decree in heaven was already signed. This is the day that you will start. This is the day you will finish. Which means that on that day, the ailment, the suffering, the difficulty rushes out of the person's life because it has no right to exist anymore. Ysef Sadik after nearly two decades sees his father, sees his family, which we will talk about next week. He only starts seeing his brothers without them knowing who he is at the end of this para his father you won't see till next week. But before all of that happens, Ysef goes through a series of suffering for 12 years where he's literally in a hole in the ground that has no end. Surrounded by the filthiest of filth, but already at that moment, there was a decree of when it would end. Of course, a person is going to ask if there is already a decree for the disease to end what's the point of praying, for Hashem to take it away. It's a very good question. And for that question, you have to understand what is the point of prayer. According to the Torah, we all understand that akadosh does not need anything. Needless to say, he does not need our prayers. As we also heard recently from Rab Vo Miller's uh uh short uh clip that one of our dear students found where he talks about how it's ludicrous for anyone to say that God needs you. Everyone understands Hashem does not need anything because if he needed something he would be lacking. So what's the point of prayer? The prayer obviously is for us. But what does it mean for us? If Hashem already decreed for the ailment, for the suffering to end at a specific date, why should I pray? Why should I givea? Why should I do good things to hurry something that already has an expiration date? Because the point of the prayer as David teaches us and we learned this in our beton series many years ago and in several other lectures since then but just as a reminder or a refresher for uh or for people that haven't heard it tells us there are those that are lying about me. He's talking about the angels. There are angels that are lying about him. Whoa. What do you mean they're lying about you, Davidid? They're talking about sins that I've made, but I've already done chuva. So, it has this has nothing to do with me, the sins that they're talking about. And teaches from there and several other places in the Torah that the whole point of prayer in the Jewish world is not to bribe Hashem as he cannot be bribed. Is not to change his mind as he does not change his mind. It's not to give him something he needs as he does not need anything. But rather the prayer is a form of chuva. A person is supposed to change as a result of his prayer. Meaning the prayer is supposed to help you. The prayer is supposed to fix you. The prayer is supposed to clean out that ola that you have in your heart to remove yourself from your mistakes of the past. And as a result of the prayer, this version of your nishama, this version of you is no longer the same as the version of you that was full of sins before the prayer, before the before the good deeds you did. If your good deeds are not changing you, if your prayer is not changing you, if you're not utilizing that daka as an opportunity to elevate your na to get yourself closer to hem, you're missing the point. Hashem doesn't need your money. As he says to the prophet, "Mine is the money, mine is the gold," says God, the master of legions. Doesn't need your money. Doesn't need your prayer. says the sages. Hashem wants your heart. A clean heart. A heart that's not connected to the tav, to the lusts, to the sins. A heart that broke from sorrow for going against Hashem. A heart that is full of gratitude for all the good that Hashem has given you and gives you. A heart that is full of remorse for any mistakes you've made that went against Hashem. a heart that doesn't want to sin anymore like you did yesterday. So when a person utilizes their prayer, utilizes their good deeds as an opportunity to do chuva, then the decree of the past leaves even though the expiration date was different. because that expiration date belonged to the different na to an that's full of scars to an that's full of sins to an that's full of mistakes but after you have done chuva that was necessary for that issue you've completed it then says oh even though the expiration date which was 20 years ago was for 20 years ago for somebody Now that this is someone else, get him out of this hole. Get him out of the hole. So one way or the other, the salvation will come. The same as they say about Mashiach. Mashiach is going to come very soon. He's coming one way or the other. He's either going to come through a horrible situation, go suffering, disaster, or he's going to come when everybody does chuva. Now of course even the already talked about how is it possible that everybody's going to do chuva but it's not necessarily all or nothing because even if there's the go as we discuss in our film the go film the many people have learned a lot and enjoy a lot and hundreds of thousands of people have watched it in different uh languages and so We learn that this go yes it could happen but it doesn't mean that you have to suffer in the process. The salvation can come a little earlier. The salvation can come with suffering for those but not necessarily for you. The point is that a person has the opportunity to do chuva. a person has the opportunity to change the decree even though it has a certain expiration date to put things in perspective is a extraordinary story that is in our dear RV's new book Kaklon's new book called that we just got printed in Israel and eventually will get bring it to the US as well and page 47. There's a story that happened. 19 47 45 45 almost over 80 years ago during the Holocaust. Of course, anyone that has watched some of our lectures about the Holocaust, has done some research about the Holocaust. Holocaust was the worst time anybody can remember. Full of tragedy, full of spilled blood, full of horror, but it was also full of miracles for those that were paying attention. And Ryan brings a story that was published in several other places of what happened in the worst of worst camps, Bergen Bellson, where there was a sadik there named Schnitzler. Sadik and in that area that he was in, it wasn't enough to just simply hate the Jews. They wanted to torment them. They wanted to break them. And one day one of the Nazi soldiers sees that this holy RV is still pushing along, still firm in his belief in Hashem. And he points the gunnit. Of course, everyone sees shocked, but no one's allowed to say a thing. And the Nazi soldier says to him, "You know, why should I waste a bullet on you? Such a creature that you are. So, you know what? Why don't you just say some things that reject your beliefs that will make me happy? say you don't believe in your God, that you believe in Yosh. And then I'll spare you your life, he will certain that this Jewish rabbi that's suffering, that's being enslaved, will accept this offer. Seems like an offer no one would refuse. Who would want to die? But to his dismay and surprise, Rafnitzel doesn't waste a moment and says to him, "Never will I say anything against my God." Apparently, this Nazi really wanted to hear the rabbi reject Hashem, reject the Tua. So instead of just killing him right away, he tells him, you know, I could put a bullet in you right now and just end your life. But why? Why waste your life? You're already older. Maybe one day you'll be freed. Do what I say or I will shoot you. Andler again does not skip a beat and tells him what do you think that just because we here in this lowly place being enslaved by you that we don't see that God is running the entire world and is overseeing everything and is watching over his children even though it would seem like you're in control. NEVER WILL I ABANDON GOD AND MILVADO. There's nothing else but him. After he answered this, the Nazi got angrier and yelled AT HIM, "SAY IT NOW OR I'm going to shoot you." And says, Adonai and the Nazi shoots him. Of course, Arab leads the falls and immediately the rest of the Nazi soldiers start yelling, spitting on him, stepping on him as the Jews afraid to even cry. Look from the side. One of the Nazi commanders saw the commotion and started cursing. Ah, now you're gonna have this body start smelling UP THE WHOLE PLACE. GO. GO BURY HIM RIGHT NOW. THROW him with the rest of the bodies. So the Nazi soldier that shot the rabbi starts dragging him all the way to where the hole is, where they put all the bodies, throws them in there and leaves. A few moments later, the eyes of the supposedly dead Rav Schnitzer open up. He's too scared to talk. He's too scared to even smile. But his heart is full of gratitude to Akadosh for saving him as the bullet that was shot at him miraculously missed by just a few centimeters and it grazed him, caused some blood to come out, but he was fine. He stayed in there for a little while and as the sun came down and became night, he got up out of there. And it was not possible for him to get out of the camp because it wasn't only the Nazis that were looking for anyone and any excuse to kill the Jews. Even the Polish partisans that were fighting against the Nazis, they also hated the Jews. So they would kill him if they saw him, too. So he just simply went back to his to his barrack to where the rest of the Jews were in a concentration camp. When the Jews saw the rabbi, they were sure this was the resurrection of the dead. This was a kadushem. The rabbi is alive. HOW IS HE ALIVE? HASHEM SAVED YOU BECAUSE you died on kushem because you did not abandon Hashem. And everybody was happy and everybody was glad and it was a big kushm. But the next morning is when the decree shows itself turning 180 degrees. The next morning when that Nazi soldier opens up the place to start yelling at everybody to go to work, he seesler right in front of him and he literally almost has a heart attack. He falls on his knees. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. YOU HOW? HOW IS IT THAT HE IS ALIVE? I I I killed you. I DRAGGED YOUR BODY TO THERE. YOU WERE DEAD. OH, you've come back. He was convinced that has resurrected from the dead and came back to take revenge against him. And he started begging. He said, "I'm sorry. I know you are a holy man. You're you're not like everybody else. I'm sorry." And this Nazi became permanently scared of the RV. So much so that from that point on, he became like his helper. Anything the RV needed, he got. He even got kosher food. He even got better sleeping arrangements. He no longer had to work on Shabbat. And shortly thereafter, it was the time for Kanuka. It was the 24th of Kisv. And the RV asked to move to a place where he has more room. And of course the Nazi, no helper said, "No problem, Rabbi. You are the rabbi of Bergen Belin. I will make arrangements for you." and he found a place where either they've already killed everybody that was there or they moved him to another place most likely they killed and he put him to a place and the rabbi was asking where are we going to get a kanukia a manora to light the candles for kanuka where and as He got to this new place to his new bed. He sees that there is a pillow made out of straw. As he picked it up, out of it came out something that was wrapped. He unwraps it and he sees a little vial of oil and a homemade manura manura in the concentration camp. And of course with this new favorable conditions the Jews were allowed to go to the rabbi the rabbi of Bergen Bellson and see the manura lit and enjoy kanuka even in the concentration camp. years later after the Holocaust was over, after the rabbi made aliyah, he told of his story and one day he went to meet of Sat who was also in the same concentration camp at the same time but in a different place was huge. These camps were in the middle of forest. They literally had no beginning, no end. And the two sat down and spoke about their stories. Satir says, "My found a way to get me out of there right a few days before Kanuka. on the 21st of Kislv. And until this day, the only sorrow that I have was that I was not able to use the manura that I made. And now understood where that manora came from. Just a few days before he was given that place, that new bed, miraculously was removed from this holocaust, from this gay on this earth and the place was now free for to complete his journey because just as a bah decreed the ra of satmail's suffering will end and they would vo they hurry him out of the dungeon. Also, just that his journey took a different path. His suffering although didn't end completely certainly took a major turn to such a point that he said that that day that he got this whole thing happened was one of the happiest days of his life because he literally saw how is with them with the Jewish people even in the gum of this world called the holocaust. lost sadik is not just a story about someone that lived thousands of years ago for the purpose of entertainment. Yusf Sadik is alive today. The story of Ysef is alive today and it's simply waiting for you to apply to your life. We see how applied it to his life. We see how many of the that have gone through different types of sufferings have applied it to their life. They understood that if a kadosh decreed something certainly it's for our benefit even if it hurts even if it's difficult and there will come a time where that difficulty will no longer have the right to exist and it will end and will be hurried out of that dungeon. And there are certainly opportunities that aadu gives us to change the circumstance to such a point where the expiration date is no longer relevant to you. But regardless of what it is, know this is there with us even with the blood on the floor as the Torah itself and the prophets tell us that is even with us when literally the worst of the worst is happening. He's there. He's not letting us go. We just have to pay attention and realize that he's the one that's putting us through it in order to get us to where we would want to go and need to go. This is just some of the things that I thought are not only relevant to the para relevant to Kanuka, relevant to our lives, but very much relevant to everybody else's life. Regardless of where you are in your life at this point, whether you're in the process, in the journey, or you're after it or you know somebody, these are the types of teachings that the teach us that are relevant all year round all all of our lives. But now with that being said, we'll answer the question that we asked you before we had the to take a uh break which is uh many of you sent answers and uh interesting answers and then we'll ask you another question after that. Now you have a person to remind you of the question. Person has some employees. He goes to tool store with some of these employees, some of these workers to buy some tools. And his friend is the owner of this tool shop and he gets a phone call and he has to go. He has to leave. So he asks his friend for a favor. He says, "Do me a favor. Just put these tools on a tab." let's say $1,000 worth of tools and also give $1,000 to these workers. They worked for me and I owe the money, so I I don't have the money on me. Just give it to them and I'll pay you on Monday. And he leaves. Monday comes and the guy from the tool shop comes to his friend and says, "Listen, I paid him the $1,000 and I also gave him the tools and uh I need you to pay me." Say, "Sure, no problem." he starts to take out the thousand dollars out of the pocket to pay for the workers and the tools are just a tab and uh at the same time the workers come and they say uh sir we need the $1,000 we need the payment. He said what do you mean? I had him pay you. They said no sir he didn't pay us. So they say that they're still owed $1,000. The tool shop owner says he's also owed $1,000. So who should the guy pay? Some of you said he has to pay the workers because it's forbidden to have somebody work for you and even delay the payment. Many people make the sin of delaying the payment that they owe to workers. It's 100% forbidden. According to the Torah, some say, "Okay, pay his friend." And uh these people have to fight it out with the guy with the tool shop owner. The Torah says in that he has to pay both of them after they both swear that they didn't get the money that their situation is what their situation is. He has to now pay $1,000 to each. He has to pay the tool shop owner and he has to pay the workers. Why? Because the tool shop owner is he had the agreement with him and it's not his fault that he's putting him in a situation that he has workers that are liars. And the workers are saying it's not our fault that you're putting us in a situation where your friend is a liar. These are your problems. You're the one that made this deal. And this is what happened. And the Tawat says he has to pay both of them 100% of the money. Meaning instead of paying $1,000, he now has to pay $1,000 to each, which means he ends up losing thousand. Instead of a,000, it's $2,000. Now, I'm going to ask you another question. And uh I think that this will also sharpen up some minds. Don't just give an answer for the sake of an answer. It's not a trick question. These are not trick questions. These are questions which I ask you and I tell you in in a way that is relevant to your lives and how you could apply it. So imagine that there was a uh some uh Arab shik walking in the Central Park. Anyone's familiar with New York, Central Park is huge and uh it's in a very very wealthy area. And this sheh is walking with his entourage But he's very, very upset and he's yelling at his staff. I can't believe it. You guys forgot it. We don't even have time to get it anymore. It's full of money and it has my watch. The watch is worth $2 million. And he continues walking. A couple of people overhear this. They start paying attention and they hear that this sheh left apparently a bag, his personal bag full of money and a watch worth a couple of million dollars somewhere in the park and he doesn't have time to go get it because apparently he has to catch a flight. He's giving up on it. He's gone. These two Jews, one of them is a young man, one of them is an older guy, walks with a cane. Who wouldn't like to get a few million dollars added to their uh nest egg? So, the young man uses his young legs, starts running, looking benches, rocks, trees, where could I find it? The old man gets up, starts walking. If I see it, I see it. Hashem will send it to me. Walk slowly. Slowly. An hour passes. He's still walking. They get to a certain place. It's a like a little area where there's like a almost like a uh tunnel that they have. And over there there's some trees. And the guy, the young guy that's running sees something next to the tree. He sees there's a bag. He sees there's like a one of these Royal Arab uh emblems on it or something. He runs towards it. It's like, "Yes, I got it. I got it." And of course, what do you do when you score A TOUCHDOWN? YOU START DANCING. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. Starts dancing. Starts cheering. Yay! Yay! Yay! I got it. Guy is even moonwalking. While he's moonwalking, the old man gets to the same spot, he sees the bag, it's mine. Yes, when the young man sees him, hey, sir, it's mine. Please give it back to me. No, no. Why is it yours? It's in my It's mine. It's in my hands. Watch your hands. I've been here already for 10 minutes. I got here. I'd see it's mine. It's mine. He says, "How is it yours?" He goes, "I've been here. I'm just dancing just enjoying THE FACT THAT I GOT HERE. YOU GOT HERE long after me." Goes, "No, but it's in my hands." Goes, "I don't care. It's in your hands. I got here. It's mine. I got to the end zone first. It's mine. The old man says, "No, it's mine. I'm not giving back to you." He says, "Listen, old man. I understand you had a long life, but that long life could end pretty quickly. Give me the bag." And the old man says, "Young man, I may be old, but I got a stick. And that stick can give you a nice little tattoo on your face, even though it's against the Torah. And before they get into a fist fight, another Jewish guy says, "Hey guys, please." Rabbi comes to them and says, "No fighting. We'll take this to Dean Torah." Young man, what do you mean den? I've been here for 10 minutes. THE BAG IS MINE. He's like, "Listen, I don't know who, what, when. You got to go to you are the tell you the story without lying. The story's version is exactly as I said. Who do you give the bag to? The bag has bunch of money, $2 million watch. It's a fortune. Now, you can say, "I give it to the young man. He got there first." You can say, "No, listen. I give it to the old man." Mean, he grabbed it. You can say, "Listen, they should split it." You could say, "You know what? Let's just donate it to Staka." You could say no, THEY SHOULD GIVE IT BACK TO THE ARAB. You can say a lot of things. Question is why are you saying what you're saying? And what's the actual think very carefully about the words that I said because it matters. You know, it took a lot of time and effort to study for this lecture, and every lecture changes my life a little bit, and I hope it does to you as well. If you're enjoying it, please make sure to like, subscribe, and share with people that you care about, people that you know could benefit from it. You may end up changing their life. Thanks again for learning with me, and we'll continue growing together. Now, back to the lecture. With that being said, you guys can start asking some questions and will give us the answers. Can you learn Jewish magic? Not sure what Jewish magic is, but Torah says magic is against the Torah. Someone that performs magic is going against the Torah at the time of the time of will get a death penalty. how to contact me. You could send messages on WhatsApp on um the different platforms and I answer whenever I get a chance or one of the assistants that uh that helps me uh answers for me. They ask me what the question is and I give the answers. If you're asking about phone calls or meetings, I don't do phone calls and meetings. I'm sorry. Not because it's you or not you, it's anybody. I just don't have the time for phone calls or meetings. You could send questions via the best way to send me questions is WhatsApp. You could also send it on email. All my information is available on the website online. But if you're looking for somebody to have a meeting, face tof face meeting with or a phone call with, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to be that person. You once said the greatest economical miracle happened in Germany 1933. Why? Well, if you look at the history of what happened uh during that time, uh Germany in the uh early 1900s got to such a uh horrendous level of hyperinflation that their money lost all of its value. There's actually even pictures you can find from 1917 where somebody has a whole uh carriage like a horse carriage full of bills full of money just to buy basic uh I think a piece of bread like their money lost all of its value and u it was a big disaster but within a short period of time after that they recovered they changed the laws they changed they outlawed usery, you know, charging interest. They they shut down the uh you know, the uh the uh the clubs that were full of immorality. They did certain things that within a short period of time, they went from being a completely bankrupt country to a country that was prospering and making a a fortune and building a an army. I mean, if they weren't evil, they would literally be uh the leaders of the world today. They would be more powerful than the United States today. But because they were evil, because they were amaladu did not allow that success uh to continue. Uh but uh as far as the economic miracle, usually when a when a country uh declares bankruptcy, loses all of its value, usually it uh it takes it decades if not centuries to recover. Uh if it ever recovers at all. I mean some recent examples that you can see is uh what happened in Venezuela. uh you know how they their money went down to virtually nothing. Uh there is a few other countries in uh in the world that have experienced the same thing uh you know throughout the last 100 years and the vast majority of them never recovered uh never recovered. So what happened in Germany economically speaking was considered a miracle. It was called a miracle. Not because I said it's a miracle. Literally that's that's how they uh called it in the uh news in the business world during those times. You could look it up. Do you have contact? Conservative Jews, reformed Jews, Messianic Jews, Nazarene Jews. I have no I just don't understand what that means. What do you mean I have contact? Do I have people that are going to conservative synagogues or reform or messianic contact me? Yes, I have all types of people contact me. In fact, uh one of uh the students that uh just contacted me, I would say the last time I we spoke is maybe a couple of weeks ago when I first met this uh young woman. She was single, living in her parents' multi-million dollar mansion and uh a devout reformed Jew. Knew nothing about real Torah, knew nothing about the uh the truth. Our parents were very much against the Torah. And she started watching our lectures as she was engaged to a non-Jew. And uh literally after watching enough of our lectures, she decided to run away to run away from this person on the day of her wedding. She was supposed to marry a Jew. She ran away on the day of a wedding. The wedding I think was like a million $2 million wedding. She was supposed to marry some non some rich non-Jew. She ran away from him on her day of a wedding. She did chuva uh completely abandoned reform, completely abandoned deformed mentality, started doing chuva. Uh shortly thereafter she met a nice Jewish guy. They uh got married. They uh they had a kid. Uh don't have more. I think uh they there's soon they're going to have another one. Point is that she when she first saw my lectures years ago, she was a devout reformer that was that was told that it's good for her to go marry a non-Jew because that's what the reforms do. Uh because they don't believe in a Torah. uh and uh she discovered that everything she was doing is a mistake and she did chuva she changed. So yes, we have people like that. We also have uh somebody that just made a comment actually I saw it yesterday in one of our videos. So, one of our uh videos that we made about Shabbat maybe five, six years ago uh and he happened to see it now and he says he's been going to a conservative synagogue for many years, but after watching the Shabbat video that we made, he is uh going to go and learn about Orthodox Judaism and abandon his uh conservative uh upbringing that he's had. So, yes, we have people from conservative as well. If you talk about people from the church uh that call themselves Messianic Jews or they call themselves Nazarene Jews, there's no such thing as Messianic Jews. Nazarine Jews. These are all different forms of Christianity with a different name. It's it's it's it's the same pig just with lipstick on it. That's it. That's all it is. And yes, we have people that have come from the Messianic Church and the Nazarene church. and hashem after watching our lectures and learning the truth they've abandoned the heresy and the idolatry of the church and they have either become righteous noahhides and in many cases have converted to Judaism and bohashm we have many more that still are in the process of conversion uh you know and uh yes we have many of those as well so we have people from all walks of life over the years we've had people watch our lectures from um pretty much every single continent except Antarctica I have I have yet to meet somebody that's watching my lectures from Antarctica. Everywhere else we have in fact I just spoke to a u a doctor who's a uh apparently uh he's he has a practice that helps people deal with uh with trauma and we had a uh a case that came to both of us at the same time. Long story short, um when I spoke to the doctor wanted to talk to me and uh these are the type of calls that I do have to have. Uh so when we talked after we had our conversation about this this person uh the doctor told me he goes, "Listen, Rabbi, I just want to tell you the truth. Um I don't know if you know, but I watched a bunch of your lectures in the past and when I saw your name on this thing, I'M LIKE RABBI RUVEN, I WANT TO TALK to him." I said, "Oh, wow. Thank you very much. You're watching my lectures. He goes, "Yeah, I love them." And we had a few minutes of chitchat after that. Very nice guy uh from Texas. Uh and uh does does good work. God bless him. Succeed. Point is that uh you never know. You never know who's watching, who's not watching. I've met many people from all walks of life. Uh just the other day I was uh in a car and uh somebody started beeping uh driving next to me in a pickup truck and uh opened their window. So I opened my window. We're literally at a traffic light and he STARTS SCREAMING, "RABBI RUBEN, WE LOVE YOU. We love you." I don't know who this guy is, but of course, very cute, very sweet, uh nice guy, uh sees me in my car and uh starts screaming at me. He loves me. So, we have people from all walks of life that have watched the lectures, that watched the lectures, that have read the books, that listen to the USBs, that got uh some of these boashm BH films uh uh boxes, all types of things. We've been doing it for a long time. We reach a lot of different people. Oh, actually, I got a present for you guys. Now, you're watching this and it hasn't been for a while. Almost forgot. Remember I told you long time ago, a month, two months ago, whenever it was the last time we spoke that there was some um some giveaways where we uh gave away uh there was some people that sponsored the uh boxes of of 10 of these. So we actually sent some to England, we sent some to Florida, we sent some to a couple of locations. But now Hashem, we got another sponsor of uh five bucks 52. So five boxes.2 two of these. Uh that uh all I need is anyone that wants to get a box of 10 of of these to distribute in their community for free can send a letter, a text message to me or to um bhqzem.org, one of our emails with a short letter pretty much convincing us why you deserve why you should get these 10 ku boxes for your community and we picked the best ones where we think the this you know because it's not unlimited supply it's but there's a lot it's five different boxes uh it costs a lot and we uh we're we're happy to do it since somebody already sponsored it so the people in London absolutely absolutely love it. They can't wait to get more. Uh the people in Florida, both absolutely love it. People that got it in different places, everybody loves it. It's just that most people don't realize how good it is until they see it. So if you want to get 10 to your community, send a message of why uh you should be the one that gets it to give it to your community and we will pick uh the best uh five people best five people and uh give out these uh these boxes, these cuber boxes. And um I've never charged this, but I've shown it to you guys a bunch of times and we've used it. And guess what? It has to be charged. See, has to be charged at some point. But the good news is the charger comes in the box, too. Either way, guys, it would have been cool if it did the opposite if actually still worked, but I wanted to show you guys. Needs to be charged and the cable comes with it. Anyway, it's a very, very cool thing. has got a lot of movies and uh it helps people. Oh yeah, one of the guys that uh got it. I got a couple of them on Tik Tok, Starboard. He's saying thank you. He got it. Him and his son got it. Uh so yeah, people like it. Can you help me? Um ask questions. If you have a question, ask the question. I don't know what you mean, but can you help me? If you have a question and I have an answer, I'll be happy to give you the answer. If you want to buy one of these boxes, uh, then, uh, you can buy it on our, uh, website, kovbox.org. And, uh, if one of them, it's 150 bucks and free shipping, uh, to the US. If it's international shipping, it costs money to ship. If you want faster shipping, cost money. And then uh but if you want to get 10 of them uh for your community, then you could get it for uh $1,000, which means it's $100 each. But right now, if you send us a good letter, maybe you'll be chosen to be one of the communities that we send 10 of these for free to your community to you. Give it to your friends, your family, your loved ones, the guy that sits next to you in that you don't like, maybe you'll start liking him after he watches it. Yeah, for everybody that's having issues with the uh stream of uh YouTube or uh Tik Tok or whatever it is. I'm doing my best. There's not much I could do. Rabbi, this is unrelated to the topic, but are bioengineed foods inedible for kosher or maybe allowed. Um, if it has kashoot, if it has kashoot, depends on what uh um what went into it, the process itself, the equipment that was used. Uh, it has to have kashoot like anything else. What's my WhatsApp? 1 1917-468-2324. Please do not call. Only text messages or short voice notes. If you call, I block you. A lot of times people call me in the middle of the night. It's very, very annoying. Don't call. Just text messages. My number is very public. It's everywhere. It's under the videos. It's everywhere. Everybody knows my number. What happened to Reuven and the guy's relationship after he had to give $1,000 to each? What happened? Oh, they uh went to get ice cream together and uh then they went to SH to pray Mina and uh then they went to sleep. For a continuation of a story, ask me again next week. Let's see. Why did Hashem allow shootings in Australia? Why do he allow it? He runs the world. He doesn't need us to uh explain why he runs the world the way he does. He knows a lot more than what we do. You only have a certain perspective of things. And um you have limited knowledge. It looks to you like it's bad, but uh Hashem doesn't do bad. Everything that he does is perfect. Yeah. To succeed in life, it's not uh not simple. You have four patent products I own. Oh, I I'm Oh, I I know who you are now. I have nothing to do with business anymore. I don't uh I don't talk to investors. You've asked me several times to talk to investors for you about your patents and everything. That's not what I do. I'm not in that business. I'm in the business of helping people do cha. That's the business that I'm in. I don't have all the contacts from investing and everything else. I left that a long time ago. It's been uh 15 years already. 10 years. Whatever. 15 years. It's been a long time. I'm not in the business world, so can't help you with that. the fact that I was a millionaire. Yes. But has nothing to do with uh what I do now. You're asking me to help you with patents, with business. That's not what I do now. I don't have the time nor the interest. It's not that I don't want to help you. I have other obligations that are more important than your business. There's plenty of other people you can go to for guidance for business or investments. I don't deal with that anymore. Okay. All right. See, a lot of questions have comments and stuff like that. So, let's see. Oh, I was waiting for this, of course. What are some of the examples that Ephraim Palmanov said heresy? Okay, I'm not going to go with every single thing like we did with the other because I just simply I said it in the beginning. I don't have the time nor the patience. Um, but if you look at the comments on the video that I've made over there, people, some of them agreed, some of them were, you know, going against me as if I have some uh personal interest or benefit in exposing wicked people. Aside from a headache, there's nothing good that you get out of it. Literally, it's it's just it's it's a big nightmare. But you do it because you want to help people that don't understand that they're in trouble, don't understand that they're listening to heresy, don't understand that they are going against Hashem. So that's why we do it. And as far as is concerned, if you look at the of the chapter 8 uh section five also section four several of them talks about when it comes to heresy uh it's a mitzvah to expose heretics. There's no dean of uh whatsoever. Furthermore, we have been following this heretic for a couple years already. This is not something we discovered a week ago. We stayed quiet about it for a long time because I don't just make a video about every heretic that comes to my attention. It goes through a process, research, confirmation, sometimes contact, sometimes uh other types of investigations. And ultimately I always always have to get the approval of our that not only can I expose this person but I have to meaning it's an obligation uh for the sake of helping people. So this with this particular guy it was going on already for a couple of years. Now, as I said, every one of his lectures is full of heresy. But if you're not well, you know, well-versed in Torah, you will not know it because he makes everything look legit by putting sources on the screen. Just like Arav Aron Feldman Shik said in his video against the fry palov, he did a research of his own. He reviewed a bunch of videos. He reviewed a bunch of audios. He reviewed a bunch of different things on his own and he came to the conclusion and he even gave more details than I did that if Frank Palmanov is a heretic. He's pimbata by the way is worse than just a simple heretic. People say, "Oh, no, but he didn't call him a heretic." Yeah, he said is the worst type of heretic. It's the heretic that loses his. It's a heretic that at the time of would get death penalty. It's it's the worst of the worst. So the gdollador in America and around the world he's the head of the uh you know the uh uh um there's an organization that's for the Torah sages. He's the head. He's the chief. Raen Feldman. If you don't know who he is then I don't know get out of the rock that you're living in. He is the authority especially outside of Israel. Anywhere outside of Israel you ask Torah community do they know who Rav Arun Feldman is? Anyone that knows anything about Torah knows who he is. He's the head. He's the chief. He literally miraculously made a video about this and you know because it came to his attention obviously understood that this needs to be publicized and he calls Ephrine Palmanov a worse type of heretic and he gave examples that you could see and you could watch you know that Frank Palmanov says if you know some people tell me oh I watch all of his lectures but I don't remember ever saying the stuff. That's because you either don't remember or you're not wellversed enough in Torah to know that what you're hearing is heresy because he gives you the illusion that the source that he presents agrees with the conclusion that he tells you and it's the exact opposite. He gives you a source to make you think that the conclusion is what he says, but it's not. To give you an example, he says that gum is 12 months because said it. But anyone that studies, anyone that studies Torah in general and has studied that particular topic knows not only that there are many sources, literally thousands and thousands of sources that speak about gum being eternal, those sources in the Kumash, that's where Kak is until this day stores is in the prophets like Isaiah. Uh look at the last verse. Uh uh the sources are in the Mishna in the in the in the it's everywhere including rest himself saying in a different that it's eternal. So how come in one place he says it's 12 months another place he says it's eternal because there are two different types of sinners. There's a sinner that's called is meaning he's a sinner but he still keeps the you know the he still keeps Shabbat. He still is not a heretic. He's still not committing sins that would remove him from being part of is so he's still is but so therefore is sentence could be maximum of 12 months for whatever sins he's made. But then there are people that have removed themselves from is such as a person that died a mal Shabbat or he died a heretic or he died a uh idol worshipper or or adulterer different things that that have uh remove a person from and they lose their uh which includes wasting seed by the way not you know they still part of is but they lose but nonetheless those people are not part of Now, Fran Pomov doesn't say that. In fact, what he says is that anyone that tells you that God punishes for more than 12 months is he's an that means God is evil. This is literally his words. This is literally his words. Now, I know you guys want me to make videos with taking little segments of his uh heresy and put it in there and show you that he says this and show you that he says that. and we've done that for other heretics in the past. I honestly just don't want to waste the time or the mental energy on doing that uh for a couple of reasons. Number one, it's because I know that for the people that listen to the truth and are looking for the truth, they don't need it. They don't need to see. If you if you think that I'm a liar, then don't listen to me. If you think I'm making this stuff up, then why are you listening to me? But if you think I'm telling you the truth, then that's enough. Even even if you don't think you want, you don't want to take my word for it. You think that Raarun Felman, the Golad, 93y old Torah age, he has nothing better to do than to make a video about some some punk that that calls himself a a scholar. Like you think that Rav Aaron Feldman doesn't know the laws of Lon, the laws of heresy. You think you could just fool the you could just fool the biggest rabbi, ONE OF THE BIGGEST RABBIS IN THE WORLD. You could just fool him. People are really don't understand what a Torah scholar is. You don't understand that his mind at his age is sharper than anybody else you meet or have ever met or ever will meet at this age. Sharper. His body may be frail and old, but his mind is sharper than the the the most sharp thing that you can imagine. have had the privilege of speaking to them and and and I can assure you you don't understand what a Torah scholar is until you speak to them and in this particular case Ravaran Feldman concluded this guy is a heretic of the worst kind. So even if you don't want to believe me, he said it. Ra Aaron Feldman said it. That's more than enough. I COULD SAY A THOUSAND TIMES and it's not equal to one time that Rab Aaron Feldman concluded it. He is the bed. He is the authority. He is the Torah sage. He said it. Now, so for those of you that are normal, this would be sufficient. for those that are simply glued to heresy and do not want to see the truth that even if I provide you the clips, it won't be enough for you. Because I know this from experience when we did it with Manis Freedman where we brought the clips of him saying things that are against the Torah and people say, "Well, why don't you show us the whole video and then we could judge for oursel?" What do you mean? Then it's not a clip anymore. Then it's I'm not going to add me saying two words and then him talking for 2 hours just in hopes that you will get those 30 seconds that I'm referring to. So people that don't want to see the truth, even if the truth gets thrown at them, it won't matter. It won't help. Anyone that wants to learn, for example, about the topic of wasting seed, we have a film called Tikunit. In there there are 116 sources. 116 sources from across the spectrum of the Torah. Any one of those sources will show you that the article and the lectures that a friend Paul made about the topic are heretical, are against the Torah, are stupid, are a lie, are a manipulation. Same thing goes with gay. a film with 172 Torah sources from Mishna from the Zah from including uh like literally 172 sources. SO, OH BUT PAGE 16B says 12 months. Yeah. Move another half a duff 17a and you'll see eternity. Like if you're just going to pick one word out of a whole book, you can arrive at any word. But if you read the whole topic and understand the topic in a comprehensive manner, the way the Torah is is is learned, then you realize that just like the says, we don't learn anything from just one source. We have to learn the entire source from different places. Now this guy presents himself as if he is a learned person, as if he knows Cabala. He doesn't know Cabala. He doesn't know Torah. He doesn't know anything. But for the majority of people that are ignorant of what Torah really is, that are watching him, it sounds like he's a very, very knowledgeable person until you see what he says and compare it to the real sources, compare it to the real conclusions. I'll give you another example. In one of his recent videos, he has the audacity to say that Abrainu Abrainu failed or may have failed, but I think he said he failed his test with Okay. Now, what sage has ever said that? I'll give you the answer. No one. No sage has ever said that. Why would no sage ever agree with a fry palmanov's conclusion that failed? Because the Mishna in aot chapter five, I believe it's Mishna number two or three. Let's see. Says the exact opposite. Our forefather of was tested with 10 trials and he withtood them all to show the degree of our forefather of love for God. So the Mishna the Mishna this is the authority of authorities concludes Abra passed his test. Now, if that's not enough for someone that has a heart of stone, go to also you will find the same thing but even more elaborate version. Ahan chapter 33 number two our forefather Abraham was tested with 10 trials before the holy one blessed is he and in all of them he was found to be whole meaning he passed all the test and in case you say well which test are they maybe it's not considered the so the ba elaborates these are the 10 trials two are associated with God's instruction to go for yourself from your land to the land that I will show you this to with his sons. This is with and with the pomov the heretic said failed the test and then it continues with his wives and with with the four kings and so on. The point as we say in Hebrew He's fooling you. He's fooling you in so many words. He shows you, hey, this is the source and he tells you this is what it means. It's black. No, no, but it's it says white. No, no, no. Don't believe what you're seeing. It's black. He tells you a source, but he gives you the wrong conclusion. He gives you his own conclusion. If he gives you the conclusion that the sages have concluded, no problem. But he doesn't. Furthermore, the guy does not believe that the oral Torah is authorative. He doesn't believe in the uh following the he thinks the Mishnabah is a different religion. He hates Torah scholars and the Karedi world. In fact, something came to my attention in the last 24 hours. This young woman, I believe, if I remember correctly, her name is Jules. She took him to school. Juel took a Frank Palov to school. She got a uh uh hold of one of his videos that he's in a podcast with some drug addict, drug dealer guy uh where he is saying Pomov is saying that the Quan Gdul, the holiest man of Am is used to get high because his scientific background tells him that each one of these chemicals that are used is something as a hallucinagen. Now, first of all, I could tell you his background is complete nonsense. He's not a scientist. Maybe he can write the word scientist. The guy doesn't know what he's talking about, but he knows how to present things in a way that has such confidence, that has so much fluff that you believe it's true. unless you're educated about the matter. So this young woman took what he said scientifically and proved how every single word that he said is a lie. Like literally it's mindboggling how much nonsense comes out of his mouth. The cohenadul is getting high is taking hallucinogens when it's a Torah prohibition to such an extent that if the cohenadul ever had a foreign thought he would get he would die on the spot and you're telling me that he's using the to get high. This is a person that wants to create a new Torah. He's fooling you. Fooling you. Fooling you. Do you understand? He tells you is flawed. He failed the test of even though every we all cry and and and beg Hashem to give us another chance because of Avanov's merit. He has said in many of his lectures things that are completely completely against the world of Torah. And if that's not enough, there's a channel called the Frank Pommanov that there is a few recordings on there that he was uh recorded in a conversation, a dialogue with someone where literally if you listen to what he's saying and you understand what Allah is versus what nonsense heresy is, it's clear heresy. And if you go into the uh into the description over there, there's also like a PDF of different things that he has said that he says, the point I'm trying to tell you is for any Torah scholar, for any person that's knowledgeable in Torah, all you need is five minutes, if that much, to know that what he says is nonsense. Six minutes to know that it's heresy. Seven minutes that he's dangerous because he's doing it intentionally. And then you can just simply gather as much evidence as you want, but it's to no end. But to a person that either is too ignorant or doesn't want this dream to be false, doesn't want their idol to to be really a villain. Nothing that anyone will ever say will be enough. Raaron Feldman, the leader of Torah, says something. Anyone that's has a little bit of understanding of Tuatra immediately says, "I don't even care to ever see evidence." That's enough. But for people that want evidence, like I told you, you can find it. It's there. But you need to know what the truth looks like, what the truth sounds like in order to know how to identify falsehood. That's why for example in the US monetary system when they train people to work to to identify fake money what do they teach them? They don't teach them a different type of fake money. They teach them what the true money looks like what real money looks like. So you become so familiar with the truth that it's easy for you to find anything that steers from the truth. If you don't know what the truth looks like. If you don't know what the truth sounds like, then whatever Frank Fry Balmanov or any other heretic will say will sound like the truth if it's said in a way that's appealing to you. So I already knew he's a heretic over two years ago. I didn't need two years to publicize it. I needed permission. Took two years to get permission. Not because it wasn't clear two years ago, but rather because it wasn't necessary until it became until now. But even now, I'm not, you know, I'm not being told to to make a million videos about it. And quite frankly, I wasn't even planning on talking about it now. But since people are not getting it, they're not understanding it. This is not for any There is no benefit. I don't even understand what people say. Oh, you're doing it because you want views. What views? What what do I care about views? I don't understand. Oh, you want you want uh I don't know what benefit can you possibly have out of exposing bad people. I don't understand how there's ever anybody thinks there's a benefit out of it. It's literally a headache of all headaches. Look at the comments. All of his all of his victims are cursing me and and thinking that I'm like the biggest villain in the world. What benefit is there? What benefit is there? I'm not here to save those people that are glued to the tuma and and and will deny the truth even if it's punches them in the face. They're a lost cause. This message is for people that are simply on the line that almost have fallen into it. Those are the people that are savable. Everybody that's over there too far, there's nothing you can do. You could show Musher Abenu himself can come and tell you Frank Palmanov and Manis Freedman and all the other heretics are heretics and they're bad and they'll still go with them with Korak and they'll still go with him. Why? They're glued to the tum. They're glued to the filth. They'll say, "No, no, you're the bad guy." That's what the followers of Kor said. They said to Mosh, "You're the bad guy." But the problem is, anyone that understands Torah understands very quickly that this is bad. You don't want to listen. Suit yourself. Suit yourself. Do what you want to do. It's not uh it's not it's not it's not it's not unfortunately the type of world where you know we have uh leadership and authority that we could force people to do anything like they did at the time of Mosherenu. People could do whatever they want. You want to go listen to heretics, you want to go listen to idol worshippers, you want to go listen to liars, you want to be lied to. You want to feel good about it. feel like you're smarter, go do what you want. You want evidence, I provided you some. I provide you sources for some more. There's plenty out there. But again, like I said, if you don't know what the truth looks like, then you won't understand. You won't understand what what a lie looks like. And for anyone that understands what Torah scholars are, what Torah is, everything that I said is not necessary. Why? of Aaron Feldman said it that's it that's the end that's enough said if you don't know what Torah is then you'll say now what does he know why should I listen to him all types of stupid things that people say do what you want you've been warned I did my job I'm finished I'm done now your blood is in your hands How are you feeling, Rabbi? I'm alive. Let's have the battle. Are you reading? Reading what I just read. And when I read, I have the book in front of me. When I'm not reading, I'm speaking. Oh, the questions. Yeah, questions are different places. I get them from WhatsApp. I get them from Tik Tok and uh Facebook. Not Facebook today, not Facebook, but uh YouTube. Why wasn't Rabbi Aka's wife supported by a rich father when she became poor? Because our father disowned her when she chose to marry Rabia Aka and um disconnected from her for 20 years. So he actually wasn't even aware that she was as poor as she was until later on. But uh he disowned her because as a punishment for her marrying someone that was uh an didn't know any Torah. But later on when he found out that Rabaka uh that aka became Rabaka, he actually gave him half of his wealth to him and his uh his daughter. His name was Kalba. He was a righteous man. He just wanted his daughter to to marry a Torah scholar and he didn't believe that this uh ignoramis named Aka would ever become anything. But he was surprised to find out that he became oba later on with 24,000 students and so on. Bro, the Torah I was reading I was okay reading but the Talmud um well there's the written Torah, there's the oral Torah. In the beginning when a person first starts learning Torah, they'll read the written Torah with commentary by the sages like Rashi Ramban um and so on understands the written Torah. Uh later on as you continue to progress in your studying as a Jew, you start learning the Talmud. Um because the Talmud is going to give you a lot more details not only about the but also about the mitzvot also about the uh the different stories of the sages history the laws it's a whole world. It's a whole world and the written to and the oral toa they go together but it's not on day one. On day one you start usually with just the written towah and then you progress from there. When you're born into a community, a religious community, it's easier. But in this secular world, it's not. That's not true. I'm sorry to tell you, it's not true. To be born into a religious community also has many difficulties, different difficulties than the secular community. But there are definitely difficulties. People think that if you were born into a religious family, you're uh you're all set. And I can tell you that there are many religious Jews that I help that have similar or even worse problems with amuna, with beton, with heresy, with basic level Judaism that are in some cases the same thing or worse than the secular world. Um, and you know, all types of issues you obviously life issues, marriage issues, things like that. So there's no easy, there's no uh no and there's no uh um uh difficult. There's everybody has a package. Everybody has what a kadosh sends them that they can handle that they need that uh they deserve. And each person gets their own test and each person is expected to pass that test. Fix your internet, you'll have more views. My internet is fixed. It's uh the internet usually works pretty good, but um apparently today it's giving problems. What is a sto s source of the story that a pirate took four rabbis and transferred them into a different locations shifting Torah scholarship from Babylon to North Africa and Europe. I don't know. Where did you hear the story? Rabbi, recommend a book for me to read of wisdom. If you're Jewish, then read the Kumash, the five books of Moses with commentary by Rashi. If you want something that's further than that, read uh with commentary by the sages. I would recommend get go to artscroll.com and get there uh and read there. I have a whole series about that uh that book that it's very good. Uh if you want uh it depends what kind of wisdom you're looking for uh but uh there's endless wisdom. What is BH Live? Beast live is the website that we have these uh streams that you can watch it. You can watch these streams on a website called bh.live li i v and instead of using YouTube or using uh Facebook or Tik Tok, you can watch it over there so there's no distractions and so on. You can also download our app. We have an app called Bzashem on the app store and over there anytime that I go live it uh gives you a little alert and you can watch live over there on our app or of course you can watch live on Tik Tok and on YouTube usually on Facebook too but recently Facebook has been giving us problems. Um, we'll try a different solution next time. But, uh, yeah, I have multiple screens and, uh, uh, multiple things that we stream to. Uh, oh, and this is, you guys want to hear something funny? Um, one of the people sent me a message. It's like a I don't know. I mean, I try to give people caps, but sometimes people I don't know. They show me like they have like mental illness or or something and they tell me, uh, why are you so suspicious? You always look to your left. Tell us what you're looking at. I'm thinking to myself, are people that like this is what you come to watch my lectures for? That might like you have nothing better in your life to do. Like even if you don't want to watch, don't watch. But like why do I look to the left? Okay. So for the sake of entertainment, not because I have to explain myself, but simply for the sake of entertainment. Anyone that's ever come to my office, um during the even during the day, I mean, but during the live, I have multiple screens. I have three phones, a camera, and then I have my regular uh huge screen that has multiple screens in there. So now I look straight because that's where the cameras are mostly, but I have a huge screen that goes all the way around. So when I look to the left, I'm looking usually I'm looking at the um terminal for one of the live feeds, either Facebook or one of the other ones or WhatsApp. So when I look left, that's what it is. It's I honestly I don't even understand why anybody would care why I look right to or left, but you know, it's just a uh somebody apparently thinks it's suspicious if I look to the left. So, calm down. Everything is okay. Um, left, right? It's fine. Rabbi, do you ever get mad at people? Sure. Yeah. Actually, you know what? I'll tell you a story. Uh, you know, you guys want stories, so I'll give you a story of now. Right now, 24 hours. I mean, there's always stories. Oh gosh, there's so many. The reason why I can't take phone calls unless they're absolutely ne necessary uh which is usually uh necessary according to my definition not other people's definitions um is because there's so many messages and so on and so many different things that I have to deal with but u stories there's hundreds of messages every day there's lots of things to do but I'll tell you I'll tell you something this is actually good for you guys to know also this guy that uh reached out to me I don't know however long ago a year ago two years ago whenever it was wanted to uh do kiru wanted to do this wanted to do that wanted to ask me for some guidance and so on so I tried to help him guiding him and doing whatever I can long story short about six months ago uh he saw that we're publicizing the uh one of the books that we're giving out for free in the kof store and uh he says I want a book I Go to like everybody else, go to the Kroof store that we have, krooftore.org, which by the way is brand new now. So you guys should check it out. There's actually a few new books there and it's also completely different website, same URL, but completely new system. Um, but anyway, a um go to the Kir store and order a box of books and uh give it out. And if you want to keep one for yourself, keep one for yourself. I don't just send one copy because it's not cost-effective. We're not selling it. The whole point of giving it for free is so people are enticed to distribute him to benefit other people to learn him and to learn Torah. And we pay for all of it. And the website says this box is 15 books. This box is 20 books. this. It's all boxes. It's not single book. It says it on the website. This is all everybody understand. It's called the Cure website and it says it on there. Long story short, he orders the box. He gets some stuff. Um and uh since I know he wants to do Kiru, I also I think he was also got some shar posters or whatever. Long story short, five months, six months pass. He sends me a message yesterday. And he's like, "Uh, listen, Rabbi, I wanted to tell you that uh uh the the box of books and the stuff that I got is uh it's still in my trunk. I haven't given it out because I don't think it's for my synagogue. It's good for the people in my synagogue. I don't think it's for them." So, of course, this is very annoying and upsetting to me. So I ask him, "Why did you order it and waste our resources if you're not going to give it out?" And he tries to pretend like as if he really only wanted one and he didn't know. Somehow he doesn't know how to read. He doesn't know what uh I said. He doesn't know anything. and all of a sudden he uh only discovered IT SIX MONTHS LATER THAT HE GOT A BOX instead of a single copy. So I don't continue the conversation. Why? I said you you've wasted the company resources. Um why can't you give it to the people of your you decided that they are not Jewish? like everywhere else in the world that we've, you know, people have uh asked for our stuff in America, in the US, in Canada, you know, literally in practically every state in the country, in uh England, in Australia, in uh Canada, in Africa, in uh South America. Literally, we've sent stuff everywhere. We've distributed hundreds of thousands of books and millions of USBs and so on. It's gone everywhere. People send me pictures every single day that they see our stuff hanging on walls or people reading them and so on. SO EVERYWHERE ELSE IT'S OKAY EXCEPT YOUR SYNAGOGUE IN NEW York over there. You already know what's in people's minds that they're not going to want to read it. They're not going to want to see it. You already know. Are you sure it's the Jewish community? So he says, "Well, why are you making me feel bad? This is a Why you make me feel bad? How did I make you feel bad? telling you that you wasted our resources. So, I didn't continue the conversation. I move on. I'm usually pretty busy, so I don't have time to waste, especially when I know I'm going nowhere with the person's doesn't understand. He has the audacity to send me a message the next day, meaning today, and uh oh, I can't get over it. I don't think the rabbi addressed it really uh uh the right way and uh making me feel bad. So he turned himself into a victim here. Now again, I didn't curse. I don't you I don't curse Hashem. I didn't uh you know this just text and even send a voice note which I usually do but this victim. So apparently didn't get the first message. So I explained I said since you're so self-centered that you don't you're not understanding the message and you want something more clearly let me explain to you what you did. because he only sees his own perspective. So, let me explain to you what you did according to the Torah. According to the Torah, you wanted something for yourself and you chose not to give it to the rest of the community because you decided that it's good for you, but nobody else can handle it. Nobody else can read it. So in essence, you withheld Torah from the holy Jewish people because according to you, only you can do it. Only you can read it. Only you can listen. Nobody else can. You've already decided what's in people's minds. According to the Torah, this is called he desecrated the word of God and punishment and punishments and punishments. Horrible, horrible punishments. It's the worst type of punishment. You withheld from Isecrating the Torah. Two, you knew that it's a box. It says it on the website. I told you, but you still chose not to give it. You still try to pretend like you really only wanted one copy and it took you six months to say that you don't want to distribute it. Like you just discovered that the one copy that you supposedly ORDERED IS A BOX. 6 MONTHS IT'S SITTING IN YOUR TRUNK. YOU THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE box of 20, 50 books, whatever it is, is one box. Like this is like you think I'm an idiot. So you wasted money. What's he money? Heish money is money that was donated whether it's to the bet mikdash or donated to synagogue or donated to yeshiva or donated to publicize Torah. If money that was donated to publicize Torah, this is not money that you mess around with. This is not money that you're allowed to steal. This is not money that you're allowed to misappropriate. So you with your selfishness decided to waste heish money. Now you may not think that's a big deal but if you look at what the Torah says the book of Joshua right after the first book after that book of Joshua chapter 6 and chapter 7 especially chapter 7 you'll see the Yeshua Benoon kills Akan for misappropriating heesh money. It's a death penalty. So your selfishness, you wanted a book and it didn't matter to you that you're GOING TO ORDER A whole box because that's the only way it comes and you're just not going to give it. And you THOUGHT THAT IT'S OKAY TO JUST RETURN it and that makes it okay. No, it doesn't make it okay. You know why? Because during that time, number one, we wasted time packing it. We wasted money shipping it. money and time shipping it and packing it. On top of that, if we could have given it to somebody else during those six months, we can't now because it was in your hands. So all of that and more is on you. So when you order from the Kiru store, don't order from the Kiru store to keep it in your closet. Order, it's free stuff to distribute in your community as soon as you possibly can. Even if as soon as possible you can't takes you six months or or or something like that. That's fine. But as long as you're trying all the time, but don't waste heish money. People that donate to us are not donating it for you to keep it in your closet. They're donating it so we help more people do chv more people learn Torah. So now that you've asked for clarification, that's what happens. You thought it's not a big deal to misappropriate Heck money. You thought it's not a big deal to be so selfish. You thought it's not a big deal because you thought that it's like high school where you could play stupid and we're just going to buy it. I gave him the chance of giving him a simple explanation. That wasn't enough for him. Now he gives the bigger explanation of how many sins he made in the process of stealing from our Kiru store. A person that steals from our Kiru store, from our organization, literally it's like committing spiritual suicide, we're giving our whole we're giving everything we possibly have to publicize Torah. So a person that takes advantage of that in a positive way is a brilliant person. a person that goes does things that that harm it. Literally, I'm not even sure if there's somebody stupider than them, that exists in the world because there's so many sins that are made in the process. I'm not sure you're going to even know enough to get out of them. So, do I get mad? Yes, of course. This is a situation that's very, very upsetting to me. Why? The most upsetting to me part of it at all is not even the money part. The most upsetting part is the arrogance that some people have where they assume they know better than other people to the point where they already know what everybody else can't handle. They already know what's in the whole, you know, the whole k. Say there's 50, 100 people in his shul. He already knows what's in everybody's brain, everybody's heart THAT HE ALREADY DECIDES FOR THEM what they would allow themselves to read, what they would allow for themselves to learn from, what they would accept, what they would accept. This requires such a high level of arrogance that literally you could compare such a person to why that's the mentality of thinking that he knows what's in everybody's hearts. Who are you to think that you can know what people are going to read, what not? You take the book, you put it on a shelf, whoever wants takes a copy. Whoever likes it likes. Whoever doesn't like it doesn't like it. It's not your problem. All your job is to take one place or another. But you've decided for the Jewish people what they can handle, what they can't handle, what you know more than Hashem. He wrote the Torah and you decide that his Hashem's Torah is too much for them. So, you know better than Hashem. You know better than theim. You know better than all the sages. This is arrogance. And that type of arrogance is particularly irritating to me because that's what happened to me when I was in the business world and all these rabbis would come to my office and they all decided not to tell me anything about the Torah, the truth, because apparently they felt I can't handle it. And anyone that's watched my film, Hashem took Back His Millions, I talk about it in there. And that's literally arrogance, evil, and just horrible. Horrible. Let people decide for themselves. Let people choose for themselves. Don't assume you know what people going to like or what they're not going to like. You present the information, you present the product, people choose for themselves. Especially when it comes to Torah. you present it. Some people like, some people don't like, some people neutral, whatever it is. Same thing I told you guys about this heretic Palmanov or all the other heretics in the past. Some people that listened, understood, accepted, and thank me for it. Some people till this day, they chase me and and they try to torment me and bother me and and say that uh you know, I'm a bad guy for for exposing the heretic because apparently there's some type of benefit somewhere. I I honestly I would love for people to show me where is that benefit exactly? Where am I benefiting exactly? Like if you could show me my bank somewhere, how it's increased as a result or maybe the views and how those views have translated into some type of uh I don't know monetary gain, fame, like just show me where the gain is because I can't find it. I've been doing this for 10 years. I can't find the gain yet. So maybe it's you have it and and you could give it to me. So I could use this gain. I could use this prophet because we could do a lot of good things with all this gain. We could do a lot of things with all this. So if you could tell me where the gain is, where the profit is in in exposing aside from the profit of spiritually helping people, show me any other benefit out of it. Please send it to me. Transfer it to me. Um, I would happily accept it because we could use it to give more free stuff and to give more free lectures and more free free free free free Torah. So, let me know, wire it to me, Tik Tok to me, I don't know, YouTube to me, whatever. Whatever works, Twitter X, whatever. Anything to me. Just send it. Send it over. Send it. Send it. We We need We need the the benefits. We need the benefits. Okay. Thank you very much. for coming back and learning Torah with me. I understand there's been a lot of internet issues. I understand that some of you missed some of the stuff that I said, but don't worry, this will be on YouTube in its full version.
