Miriam Kohen | The Young Troublemaker At The Beit HaMikdash | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

[Music] so kids ask how come when the parents talk to each other or the teachers talk to each other the rabbi speaks to raban or one raban speaks to the other raban you know they speak to them nice with a with with a lot of patience and they speak to them in a certain way where uh you know they are telling you listen maybe today we're going to work on this with the kids we going to do this this and they speak nice and caral and everything that's going but sometimes with the kids it's that way but sometimes with the kids it's like okay kids we have to do this it's still very nice it's still very appropriate but it's different it's a little bit different where when they speak when the teacher speak to each other I say what do you think maybe we should do this maybe we should do that what's your idea what's idea but when they speak to the kids what do they say to the kids okay kids now we have to do this meaning they're not really asking the kids what do you think maybe you want to do this maybe you want to do that they just tell the kids what to do and the same thing happens also at home when the kids are back home and they're playing and they're doing whatever they want and one one kid talks to another kid what are they do they play okay you jump over here okay you climb over there you take this one you take that one and you do all types of things but then when the parents come and and they seem that maybe sometimes they can cause a little bit of trouble what you do stop it right now so it's nice it's appropriate but it's different you guys notice the difference not the difference you know also that difference in where we say a part of the at the end of the we say so we see there that the starts that spoke to and told him to say speak to you go tell so it uses two different words for speaking and and the same thing happens in this spoke to and he told to speak but it's two different words for speak one is the bill to speak says the bill and one is to tell which is so why is the Torah using two different words the answer to one gives us the answer to the second is telling you have to be a leader in order for you to be a leader you have to tell the people what to do you can't always ask them what they want to do do you have to tell them what to do why because sometimes they will be confused or maybe they will not understand how serious the message is and if you ask them what do you guys want to do do you guys want to pray you don't want to pray do you guys want to learn Dua or you don't want to learn Dua some of people think oh since it's not really important because you're giving us a choice you know what I'm going to stay asleep I'm going to go play on the playground instead of uh learning I'm going to go climb the wall instead of praying is that going to be good can climb a wall no they climb with the rocks and everything so so hasem says you can't do that M I'm telling you you have to tell them what to do you have to tell them what to do you can't ask them what to do you have to tell them what to do you have to be a leader and the same thing goes when the rabbi speaks to the raban or the raban speaks to another raban and then they speak to the kids or when the parents speak to each other and then they speak to the kids when the parents are speaking to each other when the rabbis and the teachers are speaking to each other they're saying listen what do you think we should do today with the kids to help the kids to teach the kids to make sure they have fun to make sure they learn to make sure that they're happy what do you think what do you think take this take that what do you think what do you think we should do different ideas between the teachers different ideas between the parents but when they they come to the kids what they have to do they have to tell the kids what to do they can't ask the kids what to do they have to tell them what to do why because if the parents or the teachers come and they tell the kids uh listen you know today um we have to pray what do you think do you want to pray if the kidsing like you then of course they're going to say yes we want to pray what if the kids are not s what if the kids no at all what if the kids don't want to and they say what what did you say teacher we said well today we have to pray oh N I don't want I'm going to go to the playground instead that's a problem and then he's going to go to principal then go principles up in small now you have yourself an answer for a question if one kid is talking to another it's one thing if the teacher is speaking to the kid many times the teacher or the parent has to tell the kid what to do and not ask him what to do in order for that kid to do the right thing because sometimes they don't know if they think they have a choice they'll do sometimes the wrong choice and where do we see this in the you know that this happened you guys hear about it so there was a little girl named Miram from the house of that was like the family name and the was a he was a you worked in the mdash every day goash bring bring the sacrifices wonderful right working is there anything better than that nothing better than that now problem is that when when me wanted to do something she didn't always ask she didn't always ask her parents and she just went to do it and sometimes she get in trouble now when a kid does something not good is the parent supposed to say oh yeah good job or is the parent supposed to say oh no no don't do that what do you think all right so let's say let's just say example example if the kid decides to do their homework that's good right if the kid decides to pray to hasem that's good right if the kid is learning to that's also good right what if the kid decides to throw a rock at the window is that good yeah break the break the window right so break the window and it can make a big fire or or a person die I that so you agree that it's not good oh you agree let's just say the kid eats all their food and their lunch that's good right the kid goes to sleep on time that's also good the kid gives respect to the parents that's also good right what if the kid decides to start drawing on the wall is that good no okay so you guys agree that it's not good okay turn red turn red blue green all types of colors going to make the house look ugly horrible things so if another thing that was doing so if let's say the kid is let's say helping their brother or sister that's good right if let's say they're even teaching their brother or sister good things that good it's very good if let's say they're cleaning their wom that's good very good very good uh but if let's say they decided they see their brother or sister they look at them and decide you know what let me take the stick and him in the face is that good though no no oh so you guys agree that it's not good right it hurts it hurts right not good okay so okay so you guys agree so that's what happen this is this is the problem guys this is the problem with from the house of remember right this was the problem with would sometimes do good things and sometimes do not so good things sometimes she would uh go to sleep on time and eat her food and clean her room and sometimes would take the stick and talk her brother in the face or sometimes she would do all types of things the problem is that her parents our parents where did our father work Dutch so our parents didn't always let just say tell her to do better sometimes our parents would say to her listen be a good girl all right what do you want to do today tell I want to play and that was good that was EAS but sometimes the parents said what do you uh what do you want to do today andam was I want to cause trouble and what the say and instead of the parents say no no no you can't cause trouble what would the parents do nothing they didn't do nothing and they let M cause trouble and little by little this mam became a little terrorist causing trouble all the time and the biggest problem is that since nobody told her to stop nobody told her that she has to do better she started to think that the bad that she's doing is good and even the good is good she didn't care she was do whatever she wanted now you would think that once she grows up she starts becoming good right well it didn't work out that way since her ABA and IMA from the family of the Kim from the house of B they didn't want to stop M didn't want to tell her what to do didn't want to do any of that he said no you know she'll grow out of it she'll stop eventually don't say anything and they let her do whatever she want this didn't turn out so good in fact even the parents when the ABA would come back when the ABA would come back from work in the mdash instead of saying wow we're so beautiful we're inash and we brought Theo to hasem and a fire came from shim in the image of a lion was a beautiful lion fire that burned theban and then part of theban theim or part of theban the people ate all types of beautiful things and there's different konut sometimes it's a bull sometimes it's a goat sometimes it's a bread offering or offering of flour and you know it was different type of bread some bread was for p like some wasn't it was amazing things inash but you know what the one thing that the ABA of would always talk about you know how expensive it is to do all those inash where they get all this money this bet mdash where they get all this money will they take it from the people when they steal they take the money maybe maybe this they always talk about the money of the bet mdash they always talk about the money of the BET M Das now the problem is you see Hashem knows what we say even when other people can't hear it Hashem knows even what we're thinking even when we don't think anybody can hear what's in our mind hasem knows everything and also Hashem has different ways of showing us that he knows so what did he do every time that this Goen from the B family we talk about this he wasn't just talking to his wife he's talking next to his daughter what's her name was she knew to do good and bad or she did whatever she wanted which one is that a good thing that's so much you know what okay so I'll tell you what the says it's a horrible situation one day the Greeks came and they said why don't you become green like us why don't you guys do this and do that of course many of the Jewish people said Shalom we are Jewish people we learned to we're not worshiping Idols but you know what why not let me go become friends with these green let me go become friends with these Greeks and she became friends with them and before you know it she married one of the princes one of the kings of the Greeks she married this may because she thought she could do whatever she wants and when the Greeks came and they desecrated the bet mikash when they put all of the and all the problems and everything they all came to make fun of the Jews to destroy the BET mdash and you know who came with them came with them instead of crying for her people and saying a what are you doing to my people stop it no she joined the she was friends with the she came with them to make fun of the mikdash and when they got to the where they do the she remembered what our father always said about all the money where did they get this money with they so she said look Locus Locus how much money you going to take from the Jewish people what is Locus Locus wolf wolf she was making fun of the as if and in essence is only taking taking from the people taking the money of the people taking the money so she called the wolf that that always eats non-stop making fun so now instead of crying with her people instead of defending her people she joined the enemy she joined the enemy and she made fun of the B and the Jewish people heard this and that even hurt more than what the Greek people were doing because they know the Greeks are crazy Idol worshippers terrible people so what could you expect you can't expect anything good from them but they expected the they came from the house of how can you say such a thing not only you married the go but on top of it you joined them to go against us and to say such thing about the bet mdash they said how could such a thing happen say the child says what he hears at home she didn't just come up with this idea by herself she must have heard these terrible things in her house from her father and from her mother she G was given the permission to do whatever she wanted and then she did whatever she wanted which was wrong this all is the fault of her parents all the parents because they didn't give her the right way made the miracle the time of kanuka remember the holiday of kanuka where we defeated the Greeks the Greeks we defeated them we got back our bet mdash we got back everything now everybody goes back to working in the bet mdash but what about the house of this with the daughter what about them we closed their room they they they don't have all the equipment they have to go borrow it from people they have to go they have to always remember the horrible thing they did why since they did not teach their kids the right way at home it ended up being a later on so that's why sometimes you'll hear that the teachers or the parents are talking to each other in one way where they have more patience and they have more uh uh you know they're asking what the teacher wants what the parent wants but when they talk to the kids they have to tell them what they want they have to tell them what to do why because if the parent is going to be a good parent if the teacher is going to be a good teacher they must tell the children what to do and in order to teach the kids right is right and wrong is wrong meaning this is the way you do the right thing and this is if you don't do it what you're doing is wrong because if you don't teach the kids so we can't do that right K just do whatever you want but to the teachers and the parents have to teach the kids and when you do that have kids that are amazing and the kids will be happy because they'll know that whatever they're doing they're they're doing the right thing they're doing the thing that's going to be a k and that actually we learn from how hasem speaks to mhe hasem says speaks to m in a certain way like as if they're equals but he says to M you have to tell what to do you can't ask them what to do maybe this maybe that you have to tell them this is the right way to go because sometimes they don't know or sometimes they'll make the wrong decisions so you have to tell them this is the right de decision and if we do that then we could be good kids we could be good parents we could be good leaders and we could be good servants of now we have to what we 1 2 thank you 1 two 2 go [Music]
