MISHPATIM WE DON'T UNDERSTAND - Stump The Rabbi (191)

we're back here on our Wednesday night we're after some relevant to the times in the you guys will then ask some questions will give us the answers tonight is for the and all am is and all the righteous Noah that continue to learn with us and contribute to the organization and help us do all the wonderful things that we're doing anyone that um still hasn't uh received some uh books uh especially the new uh English uh Hebrew book that we have on the kiru store to distribute in your communities you can go and get yourself a box of 20 for free uh on our website uh kiru store.org k i UV s t o r.org uh and uh bring it to your synagogue Yeshiva uh local Jewish Supermarket Judea stores and so on there's quite a few people that I've ordered another uh few hundred uh copies uh were you know sent out today here in the US andem thousands were distributed in Israel uh over the last couple of days bashem and our wonderful team over there uh so anyone that hasn't gotten the book get yourself the book and distribute it there's uh easiest kiru opportunity in the world as the sages teach us in the name of RI rados that when he found out the significance of what doing kiru is when he saw the uh the Judgment in heaven for his uh nephew R uh radosh was already an old man and he saw that his nephew in shamim is treated like royalty to the extent where even other great sikim were not able to reach his level where every sadik uh that got to ganeden and if he wanted to go visit different sikim he wanted to go to the Yesa of rim or he wanted to go to the Yesa of or the Yesa of R AKA or Yesa of mosenu each one of them has their own sections each time someone wants to go there they have to have permission and the angels have to take them there whereas because he did kiru was able to go wherever he wanted whenever he wanted there was simply no judgment that's why the Z tells us that when somebody makes when somebody makes K their priority in this world whether it's by donating money on a regular basis ases um uh you know the uh you know or they are contributing by their skill or their time or they're Distributing books arranging lectures whatever they're doing but they're doing it as not just a once in a blue moon when I get a chance but rather as one of the uh top priorities they have in their life the Z says when they go up to Sham there is no judgment meaning it does you know whatever a person did in this world that obviously he made mistakes she made mistakes they did Chua for it any of those things that they've made a mistake on when they go up to Sham they simply don't exist don't exist why the bed doesn't even look at this person as soon as someone that does kiru arrives in sh pass along move along your uh your uh 310 worlds are uh ready for you for each person that you helped do cha it's 310 worlds you helped 10 people du cha you are got 3,100 worlds and so on and so forth so when I first started uh doing kir many years ago I first started by publicizing Rim's on YouTube and then I started publicizing RAB M's sh and his CDs and then different books by RAB zir Cohen and in so many words at that time I literally looked for any opportunity that I could to uh to get people to listen to T and uh you know that meant that I had to spend a bunch of money to to get CDs to get book to get all these different things that uh you know I wanted to give to people I didn't get anything for free everything that I got I had to pay for it and this was already at a time where we were struggling for money but uh needless to say we knew that there's a priority to uh uh to fix there's a priority to fix ourselves to fix the status of Am is and uh literally we would you know collect whatever we could order some more CDs order some more books order some more things to give out to different people and uh it uh brought a lot of blessing over the uh you know over the last decade or and a half or so and one of the things that boggles my mind now is that uh you know people are still hesitant to uh to get books for free to get USBs for free and distributing their communities it's just mindboggling to me uh that uh you know although there are you know countless people that uh uh hundreds and hundreds of people that have uh ordered and have uh distributed in their communities I honestly think that if people really understood the significance of doing kiru anytime we get another 10 20 30 40 50,000 books or other things that we get literally the store should be empty within 24 hours uh if people truly understood the value of it and uh it's uh amazing how hard the yet works on people to make sure that they do not do the easiest mitvah in the world for the greatest reward in the world it's literally uh the uh the easiest Mitzvah because you don't even have to pay for it sure we'd love for you to contribute to donate to help us we need it it's cost millions of dollars to do all of this stuff but the point is that uh when a person not only does not uh contribute but uh their their money but not even their time it's just simply mindboggling to me uh so people understand more and more of what's what's necessary and all of the excuses in the world whether I'm busy uh going to Yeshiva or I'm busy working or I'm busy and all those things those are fantastic excuses for a person to say uh to themselves but when they go up to Sham uh they're uh they're going to be very very uh remorseful on what they missed out on and that's uh you know that's for the people that are good people that's for the people that have done Chua that's for the people that are uh going to get to ganeden but when they see what was missed when they you know when they didn't take advantage of opportunities it's uh literally almost like a punishment uh if not worse so with that being said with a little bit of a reminder for everyone whether you are the locals or you are the ones that are at different parts of the country uh everyone needs a little in in this regards at all times now in this week's par we are we have just heard the and saw the words of God at Mount s and uh after this extraordinary event at Mount sa we are uh you know excited we are invigorated we are uh you know everything everything you could every emotion that has a word to describe it and one that doesn't have a word we have it so you figure that after Mount sa after this extraordinary event you're going to tell me some more cool stuff in last week's we heard that mount saai turned into a diamond one huge giant diamond and flew in the air and is also flew in the air under it and literally everything was in the air angels all types of words are being inscribed in the sky the seven Heavens seven Heavens are all opened up and aosh shows shows said there's nothing else but him literally the definition of there's nothing else but him all types of extraordinary Supernatural things so you figure out we're going from there we're going to you know going to some more cool stuff that is you know show us people flying people doing all no what do we get Aid the Jewish slave and then a bunch of different laws that kind of take the excitement and put it on the side a little bit and we're like oh hold on like oh maybe these laws are exciting and then you start going into the laws and you compare it to modern day ideology and many times people find themselves in disagreement with the law or simply not understanding it or thinking that it's no longer applicable even though who says you know our Tora is never going to be exchanged replaced changed and any way shape or form so why did God do all of this what if I don't understand the law or perhaps I don't agree with the law is it okay that I don't agree or I don't understand what God's doing what God is saying well let's see of course we always rely on to give us the and the words to say to make sure that uh we say we say the words of the living T and uh here in instead of starting from the beginning or better yet continuing from the beginning we're going to go towards the end as we've done in the past several times and we see something very peculiar after tells us all of these laws which we'll get to in a moment we see something unbeliev believable that I don't believe many people truly understand here what actually transpired in this par in chapter 23 in verse number 20 says says to behold I send an angel before you to protect you on the way and to bring you into the place that I have prepared beware of him heed his word do not rebel against him for he will not pardon your sins for his word is spoken in my name here we telling a prophecy what's this prophecy say is telling is as great as they are right now as extraordinary as they are right now I want you mosenu to know I want you to know that am Israel is about to make the sin of the golden calf they're going to make a sin of the golden calf and because of that I'm no longer going to walk with you I'm going to send an angel instead but this Angel is representing me going against him is like going against me but unlike having this direct relationship with me if you sin the angel does not have the capacity to forgive he'll kill on the spot now as scary is that may be which we will talk about perhaps later on this year when we go into that Paras when the golden calf what are we seeing here right now what are we seeing we're seeing the idea that many people struggle with if a knows the future then why does he allow it to happen meaning who knew that is going to sin not only sin golden calf that we still suffering for until this day by the way until this day we're suffering so who knows that is going to do this he's telling mosu they're going to do this why why let it happen put a stop to it don't let it happen most people didn't even realize that this was all already foretold to mosenu well before it happened the answer why we will eventually get to after we go and ask some more questions some more why questions because there are many of them you know that the golden calf is going to happen you even let mosu know and you let it be why do you let it be if you knew I was going to sin with that girl why'd you let it happen if you knew I was going to sin with that boy why'd you let it happen if you knew I was going to steal if you knew I was going to commit adultery if you knew I going to do this if you knew I was going to do that why'd you let it happen why' you let it happen what if the answer that you get is oh well you have free choice so even though AEM knows the future he does not disturb it he allows people to make their choices well as nice as that explanation is and as true as it is it just doesn't sit well with many people because they say well I didn't really I prefer not to sin I didn't really want to sin this this this was a test I preferred not having why didn't God stop me I don't understand why God did this to me in so many words they blame God for their mistakes because he knew well let's see if we go to the beginning of the Paras the beginning of the parasa tells us about the Jewish slave and of course also the Canaanite slave but here it tells us that this Jewish slave has rules first and foremost how does he even become a slave how does he become a slave if somebody went and tried to rob somebody they robbed them but they got caught but by by the time they got caught it's okay give back the stuff you you stole he doesn't have the money he spent it about a fancy car and then the car crashed he bought some jewelry and he gave it to his girlfriend and she ran away with some other guy you know it's gone he spent it on bottles he spent it on all types of temporary things now that you busted down the door with some m agents and uh which of course all wearing and the keep with sikim I knew the entire shot by heart but now that you caught him got to pay up he says uh no Pi English so I'm sorry you're uh you are caught we know you understand what we're saying give the money said I don't have it so okay so you speak English well but your bank account is not so well so what do we do with you bedin paskins he becomes a slave comes a slave in order for him to do chuva in order for him to go serve his new master which is the victim of his crime and the vict and the victim of his crime actually is now tasked with helping this thief become a better person he has to feed him has to give him if he has one pillow he has to give it to him if he has one bed he has to give it to him if he has meat he has to give him meat he has to give him everything if he comes with a wife and kids he has to feed them also meaning that this new owner is not exactly like the uh slave owners of America and other countries where for whatever reason or another people think think that slavery has ended and I've been saying this for years slavery has never ended slavery has changed countless people are slaves perhaps they don't realize it or they don't want to consider themselves as such but certainly they are whether they're slaves to very wealthy people and they're chauffeur chauffeur and butlers and cleaning people or they work for major corporations and pretty much when the corporation calls them in the middle of a weekend to come into the office and work the answer no is not available and all types of people that dedicate their life and in essence they're slaves and this is very much part of capitalism now when people hear the word slave they immediately say oh this is bad this is terrible I can't believe it no there's really nothing wrong with slavery if you actually know what Jewish slavery is the slavery that most people are familiar with is the evil type of slavery where they you know kill people torture them rape them and do all types of things that are against the Torah but when it comes to Jewish slavery there's really nothing wrong with slavery but needless to say this does not mean that it's a uh you know it's it's fun to be a slave There Are Rules there are rebukes he may even get a slap or two if he's not doing his job but needless to say if he gets permanently injured he's freed if she gets permanently injured if she loses an eye or tooth or something like that they're free they're no longer a slave if they get killed then the person that killed them even if it's the owner gets a death penalty even if the owner is a Coen that's about to bring a sacrifice at the BET mikdash as soon as they know that he's a killer they take him off out of the BET mikdash even if he's in the middle of a servitude and bringing a sacrifice they take him off the M they bring him to the bed to the they do death penalty why you killed the slave so again slavery is when you really think about it is very very different than people's perception but nonetheless There Are Rules There are rules and some of these rules don't agree with the ideology of today modern day ideology first off says that slaves exist and in fact slaves is a is something that a instilled into the world and there are MIT associated with slavery so automatically any liberal mentality type of person is rejecting the tah vly and I've heard this many times from different types of Heretics oh you follow the T so what you're telling me that you agree with slavery you agree with someone selling their daughter you agree with this you know this obviously shows that people didn't actually read the tat they just you know read some Google or maybe they read a verse without actually understanding it then that's why we're going to try to understand and learn how to understand what we don't understand because already we started the Paras with something that is almost impossible to understand where knew about the golden calf mosu knew about the golden calf but we continued business as usual so the slave says six-year term on the seventh year he's freed if he shall enter servitude by himself meaning that he's not married he shall go out by himself where his master may not give him a Canaanite slave woman for whom to Father slaves and if he is a husband of a Jewish woman For Whom the master is obligated to provide food for then when he leaves his wife shall go with him and the master is no longer obligated to provide her food and if the master shall give him a Canaanite slave woman and she Bears him Sons and Daughters the slave woman and her children shall belong to her master and he shall go out by himself so here we already see a few different conditions the guy that comes in single Bachelor got caught stealing okay you're going to be a slave for the next six years on the 70 you'll be freed all right fine listen I'm a young guy 20 years old my hormones are at peak level can you hook me up with some Canaanite no well can I marry someone no well listen this other guy you gave it to him yeah he's married well that doesn't make any sense wait you're telling me the guy that came in here he's a slave he's married with kids to a Jewish woman and you told them listen go uh make me some more slaves it's a factory of course already the Liberals like toah says to make slaves I can't believe it this is an outrage yes it's an outrage you're 100% right it's an outrage but it's to and your acceptance of the Torah is completely irrelevant to the truth of the Tor created the world he's the one that makes the rules Master says listen I got a big field I just brought another one we want to do some more farming we want to expand the operation we want to go Statewide it's not enough I need to make some more employees why hire if I could just create so I'm going to give you I have one kite woman she uh she's good she's good to for at least 10 15 more kids so you Mr married Jew that became a slave you're going to make me some kids that are going to become my slaves wait but didn't you say in last night's sh about Jewish intimacy how it's forbidden for a Jew to be with a non-jew it's a sin it's horrible it's terrible yes but not under these conditions that doesn't make any sense exactly it doesn't make any sense why cuz you're thinking with a human mind you're thinking you're supposed to understand everything you're thinking you are a little mini God and therefore you should understand like sometimes I see that people are so busy commenting about different sh they forget to watch you see it sometimes or better yet sometimes you see instead of people paying attention to what the Torah is saying they decide to use this as a platform to show their knowledge by answering everyone's questions people like that really do not understand the point of the Tor gave you two ears one mouth in order for you to listen double where you speak and even more importantly if a person learned about shadik shadik was compared to Moshe andon combined and shadik nearly got the death penalty by the Ken why because someone asked the question about about slaughtering whether you have to use aen or not and gave the answer he was right about the answer you don't have to use a for anyone can Slaughter the animals long as they're a kosher Jew the K is just has to do thean so what's the problem problem is you answered in front of the rabbi that's a death penalty so what happened how could Shmo still go alive and well you cannot just forsake the law someone violated the law you have to apply it oh only one thing shuel was not even three years old and therefore the full Wrath of the law did not apply to him yet and that's why his mother Kan was able to save her son so this sometimes happens in synagogues where a rabbi is giving a shield and then somebody has a question sometimes they say it out loud sometimes they're just saying it to themselves and somebody hears them and then somebody says yeah yeah no but you know what it is it's this this this and that this is a desecration of the honor of the rabbi that's the creation of theah why who asked you who asked you if the rabbi is there he answers yeah but the rabbi didn't hear so make sure he hears why because if you answer in front of the rabbi then it looks like the rabbi doesn't know the answer and you know better than the rabbi and that minimizes the Torah of the rabbi and that happens many times when people do learn Torah but they don't understand what Torah is the same concept here somebody could learn the weekly parasha for 20 years but as soon as they hear the word slavery automatically their ears shut can't believe it and then even more so you say listen the Jewish Master owns these fields wants to expand he wants to be the Amazon of farming he wants to be Walmart he wants to create more employees so he's got a few Canaanite slaves he's got a few Jewish slaves each one is there for a specific reason he says listen I want to make some more slaves so I need to to make some more Canaanite kids raise them and then they're going to become slaves automatically the person hears this his liberal alarms go off I can't believe it this cannot be it's clear verses in the Torah oh so therefore it's not applicable wrong 100% wrong if we still had the sanin we still had the bet mikdash we still had the domination that is had at the time of this of the Tora this would be back into law why because there's nothing wrong with it and in fact it's actually perfectly allowed today just people don't realize it because they get a paycheck every two weeks so they think that because they get a paycheck that makes them different than the slaves the slaves also got a paycheck they got food they got a shelter they got everything they needed they have to be treated with a certain respect which is not necessarily A promise at every company that you're getting a salary from many times people get a salary but in order to get that salary they have to forsake their own honor they have to accept abuse sometimes even abuse that violates the law is silenced just for the sake of that salary so stop kidding yourself and saying that slavery doesn't exist and perhaps you may be one of them but the point being is if a person understands what the tah here is saying it's saying something that does not make sense at least at first where this master that wants to create more slaves he has a perfectly healthy young man that's single telling them listen I'm willing to help you out I'll make you 50 babies give me a Canaanite give me a whole Fleet of Canaanites each one she'll be good to go in a week Master says no why not you gave it to the other guy schoie and ruven over there they're each married to a Jewish lady with five 10 kids but they're also with Canaanite woman so how come you gave it to them and not me they say oh because they're married doesn't make any sense doesn't make any sense at least at first now the truth isai when a person when a person understands the Torah they understand that everything has to have a reason some of those reasons are clearer to us some of those reasons are less page 63b says at the time of the bet mikdash when we had a fire in the image of a lion come down every day to consume the Corban the sacrifice huge fire open miracles on a daily basis no FL I ever entered the BET mikdash despite all the blood and the animals go to your local Farm go to your local meat store you'll see flies sometimes More Than People BET the mikdash full of dead animals full of living animals not a single fly not one woman had a miscarriage go to any woman say the word miscarriage most likely she'll start crying either because of her experience or somebody she knows and it's always traumatizing and no man on planet Earth will ever understand time of the bet mikdash no miscarriage none all types of open miracles for more look at the where there's a whole Mish discussing the different types of open Miracles that happen at the time of the bet mikdash so with all of these Miracles you would think like people say today why doesn't God just speak to was just like he did at Mount saai people would stop sinning this is the proof despite all of the Miracles that we saw on a regular basis even daily is had people go to idol worship so the page 63b says how could it be that they went to idol worship don't they realize it's just wooden stones they were smart people Mar says of course they knew it's wooden stones of says in the name of the Jews knew that there's no substance to idol worship so why do they do it they just engaged in idol worship in order to permit for themselves overt immorality in so many words he wanted the non-jewish girlfriend he wanted to do whatever he wanted he wanted to go to Cancun instead of going to the Yeshiva he wanted to go to Hawaii instead of going to betet he wanted to go with Christina instead of Sarah why Christina has a mixed background so he likes it yeah but how can you do that you went to Yeshiva mosenu is your Rabbi how can you do it you're right I got to get all these people away from me what does he do he starts telling people he say Messianic Jew Idol worshipper you know Messianic Jews can't say it enough they're simply Christians in Disguise they still worship Yos they still read the New Testament and believe it's the word of God and needless to say they still practice Christianity they just have a so-called Jewish flavoring on it it's like putting you know kosher sauce on Pig so he says I don't want the rabbis to come visit me anymore I want to continue hanging out with Christina I want to continue hanging out with Destiny I want to continue hanging out with all of these girls and I don't want nobody giving me mus I don't want Rabbi ruven to come tell me m i want to do whatever I want so he tells him he's an idol worshipper he a Messianic Jew says I'm still Jewish in my heart but I uh pray to a man the rabbis see this guy is dangerous they run away from him why did he really do it wasn't because he believes in Yos wasn't believe it because he believed in some statue he wanted the non-jewish girlfriend what does that have to do with a Jewish slave very simple tells us it tells us created the law for the people that he created and he created the people and therefore he knows them better than they know themselves and he knows the young man the young man with the hormones that go off through the roof but he couldn't find Aid he would gave a resum he sent it to the rabbi he's doing whatever he can can but nobody wants him nobody wants him or he doesn't want anybody like one of these people where no one is ever good enough for him she's too fat she's too skinny She's Too Tall She's Too Short she's askanazi she's Safari she is this she is that no one's good enough for him Rabbi she has to be from the same nationality as me wait so you're telling me that all of is good for you unless they are your nationality no you know we just it would just be easier easier what to be alone and miserable for another five years khabibi you're getting old you're getting old before you know it you're going to become a senior citizen any wife that's going to marry you is going to have to feed you with a spoon how much older you going to get Mr picky or better yet Sometimes women tell me listen rabbi I'm not ready to get married yet why I need a little bit more time for myself maybe make a little bit more money cuz I don't want to depend on no man I want to have comfort I want to be you know in a good position Judaism is expensive you know Rabbi that's the best line I've ever heard I heard it from a very dear student of mine I didn't even comment why it was so bizarre for somebody to tell me Judaism is expensive as if I never knew what money was I don't know somebody tells me no Rabbi these things are expensive what do you think I eat man it comes down to my house every day like they did to mosu anyway people forget themselves sometimes why they're so busy and worked up with their own things they forget what they say and how they say it and sometimes they get all worked up with their life goals and missions and they make mistakes by delaying one of the mitv we learned from the the first that gave to make babies go build a Jewish Family AB was commanded to go kill his own son what did he do he woke up extra early in the morning to fulfill the will of hem but people today I'm not ready yet I'm not sure if I'm mature enough yet because I'm only 22 and I'm only 18 and and I'm only 39 and you know I saw so many people get divorced and I saw that the economy is tough so I'm not sure if I want to do it or I'm not sure if he's really my type you know his nose is like this way his stomach is like that way his bank account is this way or that way and I'm not really sure I really like the car all types of stot are forcing people to stay alone and miserable but they don't realize it until they're senior citizens I have some old people that I know from when I was a kid they were beautiful people Beautiful People guess what today they're ugly and alone why they waited for the perfect one when is the perfect one perfect one usually arrives when the perfect one doesn't want you anymore why simple took away the blessing you delayed myah no mitzvah for you no Mitzvah that's why thear says you want to get married lower your standards but unfortunately many times people say listen you're my favorite Rabbi you're my Rabbi but when the Rabbi says something to them listen Rabbi I have to disagree I have to disagree okay disagree fine but stop saying stupid things like favorite you are my Rabbi why rabbi tells me anything before he finishes the statement I'm already working I'm already doing something why that's what a rabbi is but people think the rabbis are friends colleagues maybe consultants and that's why people have a lot of Misfortune why they don't know how to use the Torah in order to apply to their life why because they have a lot of different junk in their head coming from their ideology in this place right here is one of them slavery the was given to us by our creator who knows us better than we know ourself and he knew that the young man that's full of hormones the young man that's full of hormones and he wants to find a girl but he can't find a girl why his resume is not up to par his bank account is not up to par our bank account is not up the par she's not good-look enough she's not skinny enough she's not this enough and you know some of these people that reject shim literally they make me sick I want to vomit when I I never want to talk to them again after I see how they behave why they have no manners no class no ethics no nothing and I can't believe these people say they watch but nonetheless the slave same thing happened to him so what does it have to do with him simple the slave says listen I haven't found my I haven't found that be I haven't found it yet but that doesn't mean that I want to uh I want to stay celibate so you know what I'm going to do I'm going to go steal make sure I get caught so that way someone's GNA you know I'm going to become a slave and my favorite job in slavery is going to be not the farming not the the crops no my favorite job is going to be to create slaves I'm going to be the best slave Creator in the world he comes his whole plan is all worked up just like his shid resume is all worked up he has the perfect picture he's posing like he's on some Vogue magazine and no buyer so he's disappointed perhaps she hasn't my my my perfect wife hasn't been created well yet so he goes he becomes a [Applause] slave and he arrives at the Jewish Home he says okay he I'm ready for work the master says yeah good good the farmer over there go take care of the cows go take care of the sheep the horses need all the manure to be cleaned out it's like listen I got I'm going to do all those things cuz obviously I'm a slave I want to be a good slave I want to be your favorite slave but when is the uh slave making uh job when when do I get promoted for that no no there is no promotion what do you mean I thought that's what it is he goes no no not for you why because he didn't get married so already know that your mind is so sick that you are willing to become a slave just to make a sin just like am is was willing to say their idolators and even literally worship an idol they didn't believe in why just to go with the non-jewish girl and therefore the Torah cannot hurt itself you came single you stay single for another six years welcome to slavery now the guy that has a family he gets the promotion or demotion he's the producer of slaves how does to I explain that one simple we're not expecting him to sign up for this sin and since he's the property of the master the master has the right to use him for what he needs even if that means using his seed what about the fact that it's forbidden for a Jew to be with a non-jew you're right that so long as the Jew is free but once he is a slave he no longer has the same rights the same freedom and he's only obligated to do the mitv like a woman and therefore this issue is not an issue for him it's not a sin for him but when does this become problematic when this Shi when this ruven he falls in love with the Canaanite and he decides listen I know it's time for me to leave but uh me and Martha over here from the Messianic Jewish Cemetery uh not Cemetery uh uh Church mosque we like each other we love each other we got 67 babies together so I don't want to leave well listen you have to leave it's your your term has ended no no no but uh I'm only going to leave if you let me go with her and my kids they're not your kids they're the property of the master well this is not fair well if you want to stay you'll be a slave for Life you'll be a slave for life and he decides that Martha and her little puppies are uh worth it what's the uh process the procedure then they take him to the door put his ear against the door some say the doorpost it could be either one and they make a hole in his ear you know like some of these people of this generation do not the ones from Africa where this has been their tradition for the last however many hundreds of years they're still in the third world country I'm talking about the people from here from from America from you know modern society where they decide one day to just cut off part of their ear not to make an earring or beautify themselves but literally it's a a thing to uglify yourself to make yourself more strange they make huge holes in their ears like for whatever reason or another somehow this part of their ear is bothering them so much they want to make a hole so you could see through it maybe they're going to hang their earphones on it instead of listen to earphones not really sure what the whole purpose of it is but people do this and they make bigger holes and bigger holes you know in my generation if you got a tattoo you know you were a cool kid if you got sleeves wow this guy is uh Rebel today people are tattooing their face guy shows up to an interview you're not even sure what color he is what his background is what he even looks like all you're seeing is all types of drawings on his eyes on his face literally people walking around like this I unbelievable surely there was always strange people in the past here and there today it's standard people are literally putting tattoos on their eyelids not sure what happened but nonetheless this is what's happening so they're not new to this idea these types of things existed in the world of idolatry in the past and the Jewish slave got himself a stylish hole in his head hole in his ear extremely painful process why because he wants to stay he wants to stay married to Martha in the pugs instead of going back to be a Jew with his Jewish wife and his kids no no no he wants to be with the Canaanites yeah but your wife what about her okay I'll keep the Jewish wife also but we're going to stay permanently under this slavery now the question is what's with the hole what's with the hole just like we had an answer for the first the Torah has an answer for the second the young man that thought of himself as a opport opportunity that he's going to take because he couldn't find a wife his dreams were squashed because he's not allowed to have that position the other man that was married and forgot what his position is forgot that this is the way of the world especially at the time where slavery was common practice and in fact fact throughout all of the history one of my dear talim told me the other day throughout all of history we never heard of a rebellion by people that were slaves with the Jews even though this is obviously many many years ago point being is you don't see any uh Rebellion why because they got treated really well you weren't allowed to abuse them rape them or any of the things that people do today even to their employees so when the slave got carried away and wanted to stay a slave they made a hole in his ear in order to not only show him he's making a mistake but he's making a mistake that he should have known it's a mistake because last week we heard at Mount Si one of the Ten Commandments is don't steal you stole and therefore you became a slave you had six years to think about that and do chuva instead of doing chuva what did you do you became a bigger criminal instead of going back and being excited to go back to serving God better than what you did before what do you want to do you want to serve man for what for the sake of some girl and that's again in a politically correct liberal World none of this is acceptable but that's also something that most people are not going to be able to face that it's still present in the world today but in a much worse way not in the way of the tah next we see another place where if if a person kills another person by accident they are saved by being allowed to go to the Cities of Refuge because if they don't go to the Cities of Refuge the family of the person they killed by accident is permitted to kill them now the question a person should ask themselves is the question we all started obviously knows that this person is going to kill another person person accidentally why doesn't he stop it why does he allow this guy to kill some young kid by accident why does he allow this guy to kill some woman that's a mother of five kids by accident why does he allow these things to happen if he knows it's going to happen people going to cry the kids are not going to have a father anymore it's going be a tragedy why does hasem allow such a thing it's a big question we have to answer that question before we go to that question let's see if we have some more now if a man is one of these seducers that takes advantage of an innocent girl at the time of a toah this would be a very very expensive act where Tor says that if a man will seduce a virgin who is not ARA meaning she's not married and he will lie with her he shall surely keep her for himself as a wife meaning you decided to do what you wanted to do now you have to marry her so person looking at H what she doesn't have rights no no of course she does why she has to agree but obviously if she agreed to the First Act it's very likely she'll agree to the second to stay with them so that's it no toah continues and says if the father will not want to give her to him to this Seducer so what happens he Sky free no he has to pay her theba he has to give her money because of what he did he used to give her money then the Torah says some other things anyone that will lie with an animal gets a death penalty one who Slaughters and brings a uh sacrifices to a false god to an idol also executed person that causes oppression towards the converts cheats them in business takes advantage of them reminds them of their past in order to torment them says one of the scariest statements in the entire Torah chapter 22 where he says you shall neither grieve nor oppress the convert for you were souers in the land of Egypt you shall not persecute any widow or orphan if you will persecute cute him beware for if he will cry out before me I shall surely heed his outcry and my anger will become intense and I shall kill you by the sword and your wives will be widows and your children orphans so for all of those people that are against converts you should talk to God try to come uh come up with some type of agreement of who runs the world because of apparently he doesn't agree with you not you and your community or it's Tak so we see all these things here some of them we can understand some of them harder to understand but everything has an explanation so what's the explanation before we start up with go to the big question of before the guy that died accidentally not on purpose why do Hashem allow it obviously if hasem knew that the golden calf sin is going to happen and he let it happen he's letting this happen too but if he knew that the golden calf is going to happen he knew that this guy's going to kill his friend by accident so why did he let it happen now you going say wait free choice no free choice is if he wanted to murder him he wants to make a sin let him make a sin we're talking about an accident he didn't want to kill his friend so therefore a person will say well why did God do this to me how come he did this to me how come he did that to me that's where a person needs to understand how to deal with the things he doesn't understand says to mosu that if you do not do what this Angel says you violate my law and the angel is going to punish you but if you do fulfill my Torah I will bless you I will protect you I will hate those that hate you I'll fight your Wars no woman will have a miscarriage you'll be prosperous you'll win all the Wars all types of wonderful things the greatest blessings you can possibly imagine and he says one of the extraordinary things and I shall send my fear before you and I shall confuse the entire people against whom you are coming to make war meaning not only will you be allowed to win the war once you get there but even before you get there I'll cause the enemy to be confused theal was gifted this gift in the introduction to shulim different things are written about the AR and says that the arel had the ability of what's you can simply look at somebody or put his hand up in whatever way he did it and the person will become conf confused meaning somebody can come and try to kill him he just looks at him and the person becomes confused doesn't know where he is anymore whoa wow what am I that's a nice building here this Shiva wow what am I doing here oh why do I have a knife and an axe oh wow I don't know all right nice seeing you all thank you for inviting me and the guy leaves and all the soldiers are looking him hey Sergeant are we killing all these Jews kill them why we got to go we got to go Farming Farming what far we're in the middle of a war no no war we're Farmers confuse the guy completely why says you follow the Tora I can even give you that ability I can give you that ability so now you're asking the same God that knows the future knows that we're going to sin why did he allow this guy to die accidentally why the page 10B shows us how to understand what we don't understand it says listen there is no such thing as an accident there is no such thing as a happen stance there is no such thing as something that's out of the control of aad if it happened that means that a had a hearing at theed of sh at the bed of shamim they evaluated everything you can possibly evaluate not only the person's life in this world but his previous life not only his previous life but his wife's life and her previous life and his kids' life and their previous life and the neighbors and the victims and the perpetrator and the police and everyone that's involved in this story even his long lost friend from 20 years ago that he hasn't heard of or heard from but who's going to hear that he died and be upset for a moment about it even he is part of the calculation and therefore when a puskins death penalty or a miracle and he's saved or he's going to become rich or he's going to lose or whatever it is that means everything was calculated who's going to suffer who's going to get hurt who what when and how everything is taken into consideration because he's he's the god that's full of Mercy but that does not mean that he just lets go of things so how come he let this guy accidentally die that's because says this guy that got killed he may look like he's an innocent nice guy that goes to Sho on time at least once a week he looks like he gives taka at least once in a while he looks like he's a decent person that works hard but he died all of a sudden now the only memory of him is that we have to make a campaign for him so his kids can eat why did he die why why did you do it simple this guy he killed he killed somebody in his previous life he killed somebody in his previous life intentionally he killed him and everyone knew that the guy died they saw the guy died and everyone knew it must be him he was really the only one in the room but they couldn't give a death penalty why there's no Witnesses without Witnesses without a warning don't kill him no death penalty has to deal with it so the guy that died he himself is a murderer okay fine so he got a death penalty but what about the guy that killed him now he has to live with this Agony he has to live with this Agony that ah man can't believe I killed him this guy by accident I got to go to the city over here says the he also killed somebody he also killed somebody by accident in the last life but there was no Witnesses so they couldn't uh tell them list and go to the uh City of Refuge why there's no way we don't know for sure you killed them looks like you did possibly but there's no Witnesses so oh you don't have no one's allowed to kill you and you don't have to go to the City of Refuge why if there's no Witnesses we can know for sure this is not uh you know uh the uh the court show on TV where we're looking at evidence evidence number one somebody sees it somebody sees it and that somebody's a kosher person and no conflicting with Witnesses come why if somebody says listen he killed him I saw it and he's really a false witness they ask him all the questions and he says listen this day this place this time this he wore this shirt I saw it and then all of a sudden another witness comes he's a liar he didn't see nothing I don't know if this guy killed or he didn't kill but I know he's a liar this witness is a liar how do you know because on the day of the actual murder that he says he saw him killed this guy in New York he wasn't even in New York himself how do you know because he was with me on the blackjack table in uh Las Vegas oh so he's a liar so guess what happens now the guy that was the accused killer is released and the death penalty is given to the false witness death penalty is going to the false witness the Jewish law is as precise as can be Mercy is given to people that deserve mercy and wrath is given to the people that deserve wrath why because it's the law of God so now the person that killed in this previous life intentionally but there was no Witnesses he deserved the death penalty the person that killed Accidentally In His previous life but it was intentional but there was no Witnesses he deserved to get kicked out of the city and go to the City of Refuge but since no Witnesses he can't so what does a do runs this world with complete precision and Justice and therefore he reincarnates them into a whole new life they come into a whole new life into a new parents and the parents raise them up and change their diapers and feed them and yell at them and bathe them and do all the different things to raise them and they say oh you're my favorite kid and I love you and Pooky mookie toie all that good stuff and he grows up and he gets married and he does all of these wonderful things that he even makes a few friends and a few enemies and one day he's dead why because you killed somebody in the previous life and you deserve the death penalty but since there was no Witnesses in this world you didn't get a death penalty but AOS B the witness he saw it and therefore measure for measure punishment you had to die because of what you did you deserve the death penalty now you got it and the guy that accidentally killed somebody and there was no Witnesses the punishment was supposed to be for you to get kicked out of the city couldn't happen in the previous life now it's happening you killed the guy and now you at you have to get kicked out of the city but what about the anguish of uh suffering killing somebody yeah you deserve that for doing it in the previous life you deserve for the previous life meaning everything is measured everything is just everything is perfect there is no mistakes and anytime a person runs into a place in the Tora where their liberal mentality or their simple ignorance does not allow them to understand what the Torah says or accept it you should know rule number one God gave us the tah not a man and therefore it's not open for the discussion it's open for questions but not for discussion you're allowed to ask as many questions as you want if you truly want the answer but once there's an answer it's not up for debate oh I disagree I agree no such thing and that's why told mosu Moshe I know about the golden calf I know about the golden calf that am is might children are going to do and I'm telling you about it why because although I know I'm not going to stop them they have free choice they're going to suffer the consequences but before they lose their minds and realizing what the consequences are I want you to know also that despite those consequences there's also hope there's also a light at the end of the tunnel what when you follow the Torah when everyone does chuva when everyone does the will of hem you should know I will bless you to such an extent that your enemies will be afraid of you your wives will never lose a baby all of you will be fruitful all of you will have blessing and sustenance all of you will be in great position and therefore even though I know that you will make a mistake I already look forward Ward to when you're going to do chuva and because it's so beautiful to see my nation coming back to me after they've made a mistake I will never get in their way of making mistakes because once they do chuv says just like he said to Abraham now I know you fear me but also now I know you love me each and every single one of us will know that the law of the Torah is emit it's the ultimate truth whether it agrees with your ideology or not is simply a measure of where your ideology is it's not where the Torah is everything that's in the Torah is good when the Torah says it's good everything in the is bad when the Torah says it's bad there is no changes if Torah says that lgbtq is forbidden it's evil it's horrible then that's what it is doesn't change because of society if the Tora says that when a woman walks around IM modest hasem runs away from her and with AEM comes all the blessings he runs away so does the blessings run away all of a sudden your husband thinks you're ugly even though you're beautiful in the eyes of everyone else all of a sudden your kids don't want to listen to you even though everyone else thinks you're smart all of a sudden your friends don't want to call you back even though you're a very friendly person why blessings went away when your modesty went away all of a sudden a person that's making millions of dollars loses his fulfillment he doesn't feel fulfilled he wants to kill himself why you have millions of dollars you can pretty much buy things that no one else has why do you want to die I don't know I tell you why you have no blessing when you don't have aad in your life giving you blessing there is no purpose to life that can be achieved no matter how much money you have no matter how much stuff you have and so long as a person makes their own ideology Superior to A's truth as long as a person makes their own desire their own agenda their own goals and abisss Superior to their obligations in the Torah they have themselves a problem that's sometimes like a cancer AEM ISO that sits there silently and painlessly until it's too late the goal of all of these the goal of each the goal of each Mish and each is to wake us up from our falsehood from our she that's telling us go do the opposite of God because the last time somebody did it and you saw it they didn't die and that's why thear says even though the four different types of death penalties and the makot the whippings that would be delivered on the Sinners of is are no longer something we can practice because we do not have a the punishments were not cancelled our ability as humans to impl mum is no longer possible because we don't have a we don't have the the Merit to do it but who vouches he says I will do it I will be the judge I will be the jury I will be the Executioner why because it's my Torah that I'm defending and when a person follows the Torah no one in the world can hurt them when a person makes a new Tor mayem have mercy on us when sends the enemy to remind us of our Torah and our truth and that's what said when he heard about the New Testament type of that came from the reform Community couple hundred years ago where they wrote a new that allowed inter marriage lgbtq and all types of other perversions who has aw who had clear instructions agree or disagree always remember who gave these laws Not a Human Being whether you understand or you don't understand it's time you learn to understand what to do with the things you don't understand which is it doesn't matter whether you understand it doesn't matter whether you agree if God said it we do and then we'll understand with that being said now you guys can ask some questions will give us the answers in the past week I know two y who died of sickness outside of Israel uh I don't know if they were sikim but they were definitely religious is it only me but are many ye dying from sickness recently could the r explain if my observation is correct uh as far as people dying people die every single day approximately a quarter million people die every single day some of them are Jews sometimes and some of them are non-jews sometimes the point is that people die every single day and as I mentioned today is the righteous judge and he decides who lives and who dies every single day every single year during the um there's a judgment that people are going to die how are they going to die obviously uses his endless supply of tools thear says there's 93 different ways for a person to die meaning that there's 93 different ways that aosh chooses for a person to die and which one he chooses is obviously all based on his is Judgment but uh if a person dies with a lot of suffering before they die this is actually good for them because that suffering wipes out a lot of their sins uh as far as many times sadik before they die uh can suffer for an extended period of time and to wipe out their small account of sins in order for them to go straight to Gan Eden uh but uh the point is is that as far as people dying people are dying all the time in uh sometimes we uh notice it sometimes we don't so what's the lesson truly to be learned here is that when a person came one of the came to the and told him about his visit to India theim kept insisting on finding out what's happening uh not in India in Africa theim asked what uh is the situation over there how everyone is doing and he said no the the community he's great he goes no no I'm not talking about the community only I'm talking about the G how are the non-jews doing and the toid asked him why does the r care about how the go are doing he says don't you know that anytime aadh sends a tsunami in a different country that's a rebuke for am is to do chva I gave it to them because they sinned but it's for you to learn from that it could have happened and should have happened to you with the sins that you're making so when a person sees that there are people around him that are dying the message is why are you still alive meaning a person needs to use those that knowledge and that reality as that Hashem took you into account when this person died he evaluated everyone that is associated with these people that died and of course if these people with decent people that means that everyone they were associated with liked them and therefore they suffered as a result of this person's death they cried over it they're miserable over it they missed them andh took that into account that you're going to be miserable because of this guy's death you're going to be sad you're going to lose money because he was your business partner you're going to you know uh Miss uh your whatever it is and he took that into account why did he took it take that into account because he's the perfect judge the bigger question a person needs to ask is why did I deserve it he got it because he had his own judgment on R but I also got to suffer why because I also need to do chuva so before the same thing happens to me I have to fix myself I have to fix myself I have to do Chua because is showing me this in order for me to learn from it in order for me to do CH because it could easily happen to meom and that's why a person needs to listen to what rulos said to hisim do CH before you die and they said to him rebi does anybody know when they're going to die he says exactly that's why you must do chuva every single day because every single day you have to think this may may be my last day this may be my last day what's going to count after that day that's the last day only the mitat that I do Only the Good Deeds that I do that's what's going to count that's what I can take with me that's good at the same token the sins that I've made or want to make that also comes with me but that's not going to help me that's going to hurt me every day do chuva every day repent every day say I'm sorry for the mistakes every day make yourself better why it may be your last day it may be your last day and that's how je a Jew has to think every day is a day to do chuva because every day may very well be the last day and if you saw somebody close to you that died that means that wants you to start thinking like that slavery is a form of evil it changed its fi so many shapes same like any other sin really same as idolatry this is 100% wrong as we explained in the sh the slavery of the Torah is not evil slavery of the Torah is actually one of the things that a instituted in the world and if a produced it it cannot be evil as far as people doing evil things that's always been the case since people did evil but if it's not that's not uh making everything the same just it's like saying you know all guns are going to kill people not necessarily true some guns will never be used for actually killing people but they may be used for protection all cars are bad because there was car accidents yes but some of these cars will save lives and bring a person to a hospital to save his life making General statements is not the right way it's not the right approach especially when it comes to Tah kosher slavery is acceptable kosher slavery is acceptable like even a a parent children relationship is a form of slavery and even a rabbi student relationship is a form of slavery again my dear friend it's wrong what you're saying is wrong I'm not sure where you're getting this stuff but it's wrong kosher slavery being acceptable is not the right approach who asked you if you think it's acceptable made the rules it doesn't matter whether you judge it as accept or not it doesn't matter if you judge it as acceptable or not says the truth and that's it it's emit not acceptable no one's asking you for agreement and to compare it to parent child or Rabbi student is also not the right approach because a parent is not enslaving their uh their child because a parent loves their child many times with without any conditions without a conditions a parent is going to feed that kid even though the kid can't do anything in return When the kid's an infant and can't even protect itself the parent will wake up in the middle of the night to feed him how is that slavery how is that slavery he say oh yeah but once the kid gets older once the kid gets older they what because they wash the dishes because they mow the lawn that makes them a slave no that makes them a kid that's paying their dues and honoring their parents that's not slavery that's fulfilling a Mitzvah of honoring your parents honoring your parents if a person knew how much obligation they have for their parents to fulfill that mitvah they know that it's it's certainly not slavery why because a slave is someone that does not have a choice whereas a child always has a choice so when you fulfill the mitvah you get rewarded when a slave fulfills his job he does not get rewarded doesn't get rewarded same concept when it comes to Rabbi student a rabbi is there to help the student he there to help the student but if the student rejects the rabbi then the rabbi is no longer a rabbi the rabbi is empowered by the student being a student not by the rabbi knowing certain information because even if the rabbi knows a lot of information but the student decides to arrive at their own conclusions and listen to their own logic and their own own understanding they make themselves their own Rabbi well guess what that Rabbi is no different than any other major scholar that ever lived or any other average Jew why because you're not listening to them same thing when people sometimes like I said before sometimes people tell me oh you're my Rabbi you're my Rabbi but the moment that I give them any type of guidance yeah you know I don't agree with you oh okay so stop calling me a rabbi why because if a person understood their obligations to the rabbi Rabbi says jump person jumps Rabbi says go you go not because the rabbi is a overlord over the person but rather because the person knows that the rabbi's interest is in line with yours he wants your best and sometimes he knows more about your best than you do why because he's looking at it from a Torah perspective not from a logical perspective that people look at themselves when a person evaluates their life they look at it from their own logical perspective that sometimes is full of things that are distracting like lust like Ambitions like uh desires like addictions but when the rabbi gives you guidance he's giving you guidance based on the Torah perspective in so many words he's giving you what the Torah says so when he's telling you something you have to do it because in essence he's telling this is what to is telling you right now so when you don't listen to the rabbi not only is he not a rabbi anymore but you're also not following the Torah you also don't believe in that are representing the Tor and that's one of the problems that people have they'll tell somebody I'm the rabbi until the rabbi is you know crossing the line as if there's such a line and that's why I tell you I tell people you know that the uh many times that uh you know people ask oh can you be my Rabbi don't me being a rabbi me not being a rabbi is all based on you it's not based on me if you watch every one of my lectures you study extensively all the things that we've said you follow all of it and when you ask for guidance no matter whether you agree or disagree with what I said to you you follow it then I become your Rabbi but if you're going to debate and disagree and simply not follow and and and go shopping around and all the different things then stop wasting my time why because I don't have a benefit in being a rabbi for anybody the benefit is the people's so if I'm already going to take time to invest into a person then at the very least they need to do their part but if they're simply not listening it's simply a waste of time that I can use for other people and that's why generally speaking the people that have succeeded the most in learning from any Rabbi and I've seen from my own personal experience from my students all over the world is types of people tens of thousands of people that listen to my but the most successful ones are the ones that listened and did what I said not because I said it but because I'm guiding them based on the Torah if if a monkey said the same thing and it's based on the toah would be true also and the people that held to it without fighting without debating just simply they do it they succeed and the people that's no but you know I'm not sure I'm not s unfortunately their success was limited much more limited in some cases they had many failures it all depends on what degree of uh uh you know of of uh I guess rejection they had so it's important for a person to make themselves a rabbi as the Tora says in M multiple times in the six M it says it already in the first chapter and multiple other times it says it in across the uh the Shas it's an obligation for a Jew to have a rabbi so much so that God hates a person that does not have a rabbi he's referring to Jews though Jews are obligated to have a rabbi non-jews don't have an obligation to have a rabbi they certainly need to have the guidance of the Torah but they don't have an obligation to have a rabbi some are fortunate to have one some are not but the key is to know that a Jew is obligated to have one because the rabbi is the one that's going to get you to G you're not going to get yourself there by yourself but if you're not following what the by say and you're simply just following whatever you understand and you think that you understand just as well as someone's been studying for a long time and has guidance and has a r by themselves and so on unfortunately you're stunting your own growth and that's what a lot of people do a lot of people do it where they you know they give the rabbi the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the laws they have no concept of like you know their Kash of their food or their dishes you know uh different types of uh uh schom advice from time to time but uh you know many times the the bigger decisions in life they don't even consider talking to the rabbi and if they do if the rabbi doesn't say what they want they simply just don't listen and that's unfortunate because that means that they don't really have a rabbi many people pretend to have a rabbi though you know they could even call their Rabbi whenever they want but it's not really their Rabbi so that's one of the things that a person needs to understand you get if you're going to arrive at certain conclusions make sure that those conclusions are based on what our m is what our tradition is which is from mhu to yeshu yeshu the elders elders to the prophets prophets to the down all of the uh the sages the zot the the uh the the and even the local rabbi that you have and the rabbis and of Our Generation you have that tradition but if you're simply just arriving a conclusion based on your own uh logic it could be very very problematic and unfortunately it's usually one of the uh key doors to heresy it's uh initially it looks like uh uh intellect and cleverness and uh but eventually it turns out to be heresy so a person has to be careful with uh Conjuring up their own logic that's not not in line with what the maso is sorry didn't mean to answer questions for you I'm just trying to do kiru as well there a time and a place for you know for for to do kiru it's not on a uh it's not during a Shure or a uh um you know during the time where there's people are supposed to be learning it's not this is not the platform uh what's the name of the concept he said when people talking about the Aral putting up their hands and confusing the enemy thank you Raba for doing your lectures in English it's really a blessing by that reasoning none of the Six Million in the Holocaust kept the Torah since they were hurt I have no idea how you arrived to that conclusion is makeup considered immodest and Orthodox Judaism depends you know this makeup it's uh very modest not just according to Orthodox Judaism but according to society meaning even the immodest people know it's immodest uh and it is makeup that's perfect perfectly fine and uh you know uh even recommended to be used it's all with class if a if a woman is uh using uh uh her her U clothing and uh makeup in order to uh make herself uh beautiful for a husband to be attractive to our husband and not attracting to society then there's no problem with it but if she's trying to get the uh the attention of every Steve Joe and uh and uh Smith out there then obviously there's a problem but as far as using makeup there's no problem with using makeup vast majority of Jewish Women will wear makeup and there's no problem with it since women cannot be sold as slaves I wonder what happened to them if they stole or unable not sure how you arrive at that conclusion women uh you know became uh it's in the tah actually in this week it's in the tah this week where the father could would actually sell his daughter and she becomes a maid servant she becomes a maid servant e even as a kid but by the time she hits puberty if a owner does not want to marry her or have her have his son marry her then she's relieved she's relieved from uh from uh that obligation but certainly there is uh mate servants which is female slaves what is a technical difference between the term Mish and de mishpat is the law de is in essence the uh execution of the law if you will but certainly there's more details why can't Coen marry a convert or woman with a promiscuous past since those who repented are on a higher level sorry since those that repented are on a higher level wouldn't it make sense for the woman on a higher level to marry the Kim rather than uh well that's again you're rationalizing Things based on your logic and T said otherwise so Tora says that the K cannot just not marry a convert or not marry a woman that had a promiscuous past but also quen cannot marry a uh a widow a divorce uh so the uh it's it's not just that uh there's a uh a prejudice against promiscuous women or against women that are converts uh but rather there's K is a specific uh part of of of's nation and wants them to only be with specific people this is the rules of God and again even though a person may not agree or disagree whatever it is you have to always know always default to the fact I don't have to understand everything that God did uh I have to follow it now as far as rationalizing that a person that is a b Chua is higher uh than someone that uh hasn't sinned you're right but it doesn't apply to this because the uh the the the B Chua is certainly elevating their n in a certain level at this point by by doing Chua by doing good things but you can't excuse the fact that their body sinned and that cannot be taken away the body already did something and Torah says the once the body did such and such act with a forbidden person the Ken cannot marry them but what's wrong with the rest of the am I'm not really sure why people are always obsessed with marrying uh it's very strange that it's stolen water are always sweeter somehow even though it's still water uh you know but uh you know generally speaking it's a uh it's not a uh exclusion just for the uh Coen to marry these couple of people there's other people is also not allowed to marry but there's also the same concept for the rest of is not allowed to marry whoever they want whenever they want there are certain place certain people they're also not allowed to marry the keys to know is that there is a lot more things that are permissible in theah than there are forbidden and therefore a person you know should focus on the things that they're permissible to do that they're allowed to do and not harp on the fact oh but but but you know I don't have that one thing you know because that's more of a immature child uh mentality where you know the one toy that uh you know that is uh Out Of Reach that's the one he wants to play with even though he has 500 other toys or they two kids fight over a stick they fight over a stick and they all beat up each other over a stick and as soon as the one of them wins and the other one goes home crying the one that's left with the stick doesn't want to play with the stick anymore he throws it away so why' you fight over the stick because it's immature and that's what how people are sometimes with a they're immature babies how come this is not allowed why does a have to explain himself to you he says no the end no but again remember it's it's not no like uh you know he's telling us where everything is not allowed he's just telling you specifically I have created my world and my people in a certain fashion and therefore I want them to follow a certain set of instructions sort of like a combination luck if you have a combination luck and you have all five digits all five digits to open the combination lock that may not be enough why because the combination lock doesn't want you to just put the proper digits to open it it wants you to spin a certain way right a certain way left a certain way up down whatever it wants you to do in order for that combination to work that's why our prayers for example for the uh uh Leana every month where you have part of the prayer we read regularly like we do others and then part of the prayer we all of a sudden we have to read it three times or seven times why one is not enough Hashem didn't HT hear the first two times I have to read it three times no that's the combination lock with that those specific words you have to spin it three times and those specific words you have to spin it seven times why because that's the code to open the gates of Heaven that's the will of hem so when it comes to theim or it comes to the converts or it comes to the divorce or it comes to the m or it comes to any part of a person must know has a perfect combination for each and every single one how they could achieve their perfection the more you follow those instructions the better your path will be the more a person tries to spend their energy to find a way to make it possible the more they're simply wasting their energy in their gift and many times people do that where they harp on one particular thing and they're not willing to to move forward like some people uh they don't like the Z so they make their life's you know spiritual service fighting against the Z fighting instead of using all of their time to learn more more more or this one they want to fight or others have a problem with or others have a pro problem with others have a problem with everybody has a problem with somebody they make it their life's work to spend it on this one thing and in reality this is a mitvah from a Satan why because Satan wants you to yeah yeah use all your energy for this one thing just just harp on the fact that there you know there is a uh you know a um discrimination between and use all your energy tell people change change uh you know it's not fair that Asim have this and that it's not fair that theim are treated this and that use all your energy for that the Satan says why because if you're using all your energy for that you're not going to learn to if you're using all your energy for that you're not going to fulfill the T so people harp on all these things thinking they're doing the service of God but in reality they're not doing a service of anybody except for Satan this is also the reason why one of the things one of the key things that taught me early on early on when I said okay let's make more sh about mashia more about this one particular topic said no we go and we cover the entire tah we'll talk about a little about this a little bit about that okay let's just make all the about no make sometimes about sometimes sometimes this sometimes that okay let's go all of our fights against the wigs no sometimes we fight against the wigs sometimes we fight against this sometimes you fight against that whatever is needed that's what we do why because if you harp all of your energy on one thing it becomes an obsession that's an unhealthy Obsession and it stops being the will of God it stops being the miss to sanctify God it becomes the mission to win the mission to you know figure out a way a new way and as the K said he used cleverly the uh Mish says anything that's new is forbidden this is obviously talking about something else in the Tor but it's a statement in the Tora point is is point is is that a person is you know is constantly trying to revitalize Judaism as if as if Judaism needs revitalization renew Judaism Reform Judaism Judaism is perfect as as it always has been and a person has to acclimate themselves and adjust themselves to the Torah not the other way around and if he has a problem or she has a problem with one thing fine you have a problem with one thing learn how to understand the things you don't understand and move move on and go deal with the other things that are your responsibilities don't let one thing be the uh the uh make or break follow the Torah and you'll be fine how can a person help themselves who is trying to do chuba and be observant but then a month later they go back to their old ways over and over again of course a person has to to not only do chuva you know at first but they have to continue doing chuva every time they fail they have to fix themselves and uh figure out a way how to not put themselves in the same situation failing is part of the journey the key is not to fail the same failure over and over again it's just like in business you know everyone is going to fail on the way to the top everyone is going to fail on the way to the top the key is not to make the same mistakes over and over again where if let's say for example you're in a business world and you did a you know partnership with somebody without a contract and then you saw that didn't work out so well so now when you go back into business again and another partnership comes up don't make the same mistake and saying okay no agreement this time have an agreement but now you signed an agreement and a new thing happened what the uh the agreement was uh too strong or too weak or too long so don't make the same mistake again with somebody else with the next thing same concept with Chua you're going to fail on the way to the top the key is not to keep failing the same thing over and over again for 20 years fix yourself see what causes the problem you see that you're failing in regards to morality so aside from stopping you have to see what's causing you to go back to it is it going to specific places is it talking to specific people is it watching specific things you see the trigger points whatever your trigger points don't obviously don't trigger yourself and think this time it's not going to happen it's like an alcoholic that wants to recover the only way to truly recover is not just not drinking anymore but they also have to change friends they have to change phone number they have to change location they have to change Hobbies they have to change their use of time you know it's it's and they can't make their whole life just about recovery go occupy yourself with something else so a person has to know how to not repeat the same mistakes over and over again by reviewing their actions and once they review their actions and they see this is where I failed this is where I succeeded this is uh you know where why I did good this why I did bad they'll succeed I even see this uh you know one time I saw it in a uh Trader that became very successful he turned I don't know a very small amount of money into like $15 million and uh uh like very small like $110,000 or something like that he turned into $15 million and of course he had many many failures along the way uh but uh you know one of the main things that caused him to be successful over the longer period of time is that he logged all of his mistakes every time he made a mistake where he was too stubborn on a trade or he was too uh you know uh committed to something or too big of a trade too small all of these different things he actually wrote it down and he reviewed them and every time a mistake happened he saw did I do the same mistake again or not and he became very very particular about reviewing himself and holding himself accountable to his mistake and that's literally that was the secret of his success a secret of success was not that he never failed again he certainly failed but he limited repeating the same mistakes over and over again and that's one of the keys to success in business in marriage and certainly in servitude of hasem what is the AL concerning jury duty if you get chosen uh well I mean as far as uh jury duty is not really something that you have much of a choice on in America it's a it's the law of the land so if they choose you you have to go now once you go uh they're going to ask you questions and uh one of the things you can say they ask you do you think that that uh you are a valid candidate for this and you could tell him listen uh you know I'm I'm here I'm going to follow the law I'm just going to tell you that you know the the law of the land conflicts with my belief system uh you know I I uh I believe in things that are contrary to the law of the land such as you know slavery and uh you know violation of Shabbat is death penalty so these are the some of the things that I believe or someone that stole deserves uh cannot go to jail they just have to pay uh double these are the things that I believe so you know they'll look at it and they'll decide whether they want you to be a judge or not if you're uh part of the jury or not most of the times they're you know they're simply going to run away from you uh because nobody wants to deal with such a headache uh and that's it but to go and attend you have to because that's the law of the land that you live in my husband hired a Jewish contractor to fix our kitchen unfortunately it became apparent before he started the the work that he is not knowledgeable uh or professional and therefore my husband canceled the contract and asked for our deposit back um he was very angry but initially said he'd return the money however to date he has not are we allowed to report him to the state contractor's group what should we do Al no you're not allowed to go to the state contractor's group you have to take him to a bed you have to take him to a bedan and the bed Dean will uh tell him that he whether he owes you the money or not the bed Dean will decide whether you're correct in your assessment or you're wrong once the bedine concludes whether you're correct or or wrong then you uh then obviously the bedine uh will have uh something a document that if he does not follow it let's say for example that bettin says that he owes you $10,000 he does not follow it then you can sue him in civil court and use that document and the uh the the the court system here in America except the bedine Judgment but to go to the uh contractor group State Contractor group is uh certainly not uh not allowed at this stage number one because you did not go to a bedine uh and number two you can cause him much more damage than he caused you where he caused you let's say $10,000 worth of damage but if you go to the state contractor's group he could lose his license and his livelihood that's much more than $10,000 so it's certainly not allowed to do such a thing you Jews get into dis agreements they go to a bed that's how we resolve our problems we don't go to uh the uh the authorities that's how a person could lose their um because you said that if someone keeps Torah no one can hurt them but six million were hurt so they didn't keep Torah because they were hurt no so first of all the reality is that most of the people uh that uh lived at the time of the Holocaust were not observant of the Torah that's a fact there was nearly 90% assimilation in parts of Europe especially Germany uh other parts of the world had you know 75% assimilation into marriage Jews marrying non-jews Jews converting to Christianity so the World At Large of jewelry was uh on the verge of Extinction by itself even even without the Holocaust in fact in's one of the um one of the uh uh sections talks about the Holocaust and in essence where was God during the Holocaust and it includes a uh a study a study that was done by a non-jew uh of the times and um see where it is and he says that based on the research based on the research that he did Judaism and he's again this is not a Jew this is a non-jew doing a study on the Jewish people for historical purposes uh in here we go in his book uh Professor Bernard vasorin he's a historical Professor uh in the uh expert in Jewish history who teaches in the University of Chicago and he says in regards to the to the time before the Holocaust he says uh in regards to the Jews of Europe uh there was a uh demographic breakdown very difficult demographic breakdown in a very negative way where there was a uh high level of assimilation of Jews marrying non-jews uh the uh spoken language of uh Hebrew uh and uh yish especially which was yish was the standard language at the time uh became uh more and more uh uh you know uh minimal meaning less people spoke yish uh and started going on a downward spiral uh the uh observance of uh the uh the Torah and the religion itself was in a straight uh projection downwards for a uh a long period of time already and even if the he says even the anti-Semitism did not stop the inter marriage usually when the gim hates you you don't want to marry them no the inter marriage continued despite the anti-Semitism and he says he says what I'm trying to tell you is that the Jews of Europe were in a uh existential uh um existential uh uh uh risk even without the outside threat of Hitler and this is uh in an interview that was put in a uh uh newspaper called Israel today in uh December 24th 2018 point being is is that when you see not just what happened with the Holocaust as the aftermath but where were the Jews before the Holocaust you see that most of the Jews in the world were not following the Tora and the Tora tells us in and also and also and also and many other places that including this week's par actually that when we do the will of hem Hashem protects us but when we don't Hashem will punish us to such an extent that he sends us a foreign enemy that uh we've never known and uh that uh literally can cause more damage than we can possibly imagine uh and all of the details of what happened in the Holocaust were not only uh mentioned in the Tor but even the of the time or even up to 100 years before it already said that this is what's going to happen now the big question is okay many people were sinning even the majority of people were going against God but what about the righteous people very simple once there is a decree on is a negative decree on is then both the righteous and the wicked are put in the same basket that's what the Shabbat said at the time of the BET mikdash sure surely there were some people that were good but even they were punished along with the evil people that were idolators and so on why because their goodness had limitations where they did not rebuke their fellow Jew in order to get them to do Chua so even though they were following the tah as far as keeping Shabbat keeping kosher not being an idol worshipper that's good but they violated the Torah by not helping their fellow Jew do chuva and stop their you know their idolatry and their immorality and so on so when there is a uh a bad decree on the world of jwy then both the righteous and the wicked suffer together why because all of are accountable for each other and that's why during that big decree individually speaking individually speaking which was what was referring to earlier which is when somebody follows then hasm will protect them that's individually speaking but as a nation as a total that's a different story but that's also why there's not you know it's not every day that Hashem brings us to Holocaust it's uh it happens every so often when Hashem has to in essence save his people by punishing them save his people by nearly annihilating them as happened multiple times in history whether it's from the Assyrians the Babylonians the Romans the uh Greeks uh the uh the Spaniards the Nazis uh you know there's many many different uh Nations have tried to destroy us throughout all of history uh BM we're here and they're not but the key is that Hashem allowed all of that to happen because this in essence got us to do chuva and this is one of the ways that Hashem uses his law to uh to get his uh get his herd get his people people to to come back into uh come back into order so it doesn't mean that uh uh the uh individual blessings are not valid it means that we have individual judgment we have a national judgment and that's that's the essence the difference I heard a rabbi that a barren woman couple are considered like dead why is it so since I heard of many couples who left a fortune to yes so children can learn and follow t for years to come so aren't they benefiting the world both spiritually uh and physically uh in well a woman that is a uh not able to bring children in the world that we learned from you know we learned from our matriarchs who said it about themselves if I can't bring a k K to the world that's like I'm dead uh it's in essence a woman feeling like she's uh you know she has a defect uh and in fact if a uh a woman is married to a man and she's not able to bring him kids uh after 10 years he needs to marry a different woman uh he needs to marry a different woman to because he has an obligation to bring children to the world she doesn't have an obligation to bring children to the world so if she's not able to bring children to the world then he needs to marry a second woman I mean of course it's a uh it's something that a lot of people um are don't like and don't want to do and that's why we have to pray to hasem to not ever put us in that situation or or any of Cl in that situation but a person needs to know that they uh they have to pray they have to pray to to you know to make uh their uh their bodies function and uh their their uh uh seed to continue now of course if a uh a person is not able to bring children into the world that does not make them uh a bad person Hashem simply decreed that they're not going to have children but they could still do a whole lot of good they could still uh create a lot of good uh one of the uh you know very very uh well-known uh books for schoa of bringing children to the world uh is the um uh what is it called I have it over here um was that um I always forget the name one of the one of the uh is this it what happens anyway one of the uh books um that's known as aul when people study it they uh they bring children to the world it brings a lot of blessings uh one of the things one of the reasons for that is because the author himself said he did not have any kids his Torah books are his kids and anyone that studies his books he says he'll pray for them in sham for them to have kids uh because people that learn his tah in essence are considered a spiritual kids so he prays for them in sham so again a person that do not have physical kids in this world it doesn't make them an evil person they can still do a whole lot of good uh but it does not mean that uh people shouldn't care about whether they have kids or not as far as people that are wealthy that leave a lot of money to yes after they die I don't know necessarily how many people actually do it how many don't but again one thing has nothing to do with the other why are people calling themselves Gil and not knowah Heights uh because people uh want to make themselves feel better and uh make themselves uh sound like they're knowledgeable and that they're better than others it all comes from ego it doesn't come from knowledge because there is no more gav anymore uh there is a person is either a Jew or he's a noahide that's pretty much it he could either be a righteous Jew or Wicked Jew or righteous nohide or Wicked noahide gav is not available anymore but uh people will call themselves whatever they want they just want to make themselves feel better I even had one young guy tell me that uh you know his uh local Rabbi over there said uh to him that since he really wants to convert but he can't convert quite yet but since he really wants it he really should not be called noahide anymore but rather a meaning a convert that wants to convert it's this is a this is a terminology that was invented by that Rabbi if that story even is even true what this young man is saying is true even but the point is this was a term that was created invented it's not from the Tora it's not from uh you know people that are experts in the field of conversion that I've spoken to I've never heard such a termin ology but again why do people do such things to make themselves feel better because they have to sooth their ego they don't care about the tah they don't care about hem they don't care about the truth they care about their ego uh and people that care about their ego they're going to do whatever they need to in order to soothe their ego even if that means going against the Torah isn't to publish what an enemy does why is it not is making public only a fellow D what a fellow do no no no as far as publicizing what an enemy does it depends on what your definition of enemy is if it's your own personal enemy then it depends what uh what you're publicizing if your enemy just got divorced and you publicized it then it's considered and you'll have to suffer and gay for that if your enemy somebody that makes more money than you and you publicize that he just made a lot of money that's and you'll have to go to Gom for that if your enemy is a pedophile and you publicizing that he's pedophile that's a Mitzvah and you'll go to ganeden for that you'll go to heaven for that so it all depends how you define an enemy it also depends on what's what are you publicizing it's a uh there are details details that are necessary and the details of are very very important because it determines whether something is going to be in a uh a reward or a punishment for the person that speaks it okay let's see what we have you a few more questions we're already on for a couple of hours see do I live in Israel no I live in the United States [Music] YouTube okay uh let's see okay okay YouTube you guys want to send a question right now send the question I'll answer one or two more and I'm finished so come on next question we'll answer okay let me see regarding offspring that are born from a promiscuous relationship or out of wedlock but their lives turn out to be very righteous people and live strictly according to the first contrary to their parents are these special n and are they here to do tun from the previous life which explain why they would be born and even grow up in difficult conditions uh yes there says that there are uh certain that are hostages of the Satan and if they free themselves by doing chuva by overcoming the obstacle uh they can become extraordinary sikim and some of the examples that the Z gave is DAV Raba even asav asav obviously failed the test but the other succeeded uh so people that uh have a uh uh a very difficult background uh you know are certainly given that test because their n uh can do something that uh people that don't have that test cannot meaning some people if you give them a uh you know five pounds uh they can't lift it other people you give them 500 PB they can lift it and the same concept with uh different tests and that's why kadosh is the perfect judge who gives everybody exactly what they can handle he gives every single body what what they can handle and whatever test you have is exactly what you can handle should all Jews move to Israel now uh no not necessarily um you know it depends on the circumstance it depends uh what is the purpose of your moving there what will you do for a living does your spouse want to move is it going to cause you to learn more Torah or less Torah it depends depends why Why move why not you know why now um so as far as making Aliyah I have a couple of videos back toback about that topic and it's uh I believe it's in the era of MH series and I think it's titled uh should all Jews move make Aliyah right now and then the other one is is uh says all Jews need to make Aliyah right now and obviously both titles are uh not exactly what they seem to be watch both of those lectures it goes into the details of everything I just said much more extensively uh okay all right thank you very much for learning with me bless each and every single one of you that watched the Sho that shared the Sho that contributed anyone that wants to donate to help us with all the wonderful things the organization is doing whether it's giving out the uh tens of thousands of books uh right now that we're giving out for free uh or it's a uh the uh USBS and all the wonderful things you could donate on our website be.org uh or BH torah.org or you could donate by sending a check a wire transfer on YouTube on uh Facebook there's bem plenty of ways to donate and uh if you uh want to that would be fantastic for all all involved especially for the donor because G says greater is the one that actually enables another to do than the one that does meaning when you donate to help us help other Jews do chuva by giving them a book by giving lectures and so on you get even a bigger award than us that's giving the lecture or giving the book why because you enabled us to do it so and then since again go back to the beginning of the Shi where I talked about the uh importance of doing kiru but really the benefits more than the importance than anything else because when people really understand the benefit of doing kiru they literally make it their number one investment in life both investment of money and investment of time thank you very much for learning with me enjoy the uh Tora and be holy [Music] from of asked him what can we do to protect ourselves from he says even if somebody does a nice thing or learns a lot or anything like that it's never compared to bringing one of aem's lost kids that's been lost for the last 3,000 years back home one of the beautiful things that we have in our organization is that we have both Torah and because we have our we have our and we also have our that we do around the world our lectures reach every corner of the world in multiple languages but of course we always want to do even more thought for foron Elon while we have C work that we've done throughout the whole year we also have the Torah that we're constantly producing more and more of and last but not least the uh to feed the poor people in Israel a very special thank you to all our amazing guests who show real by taking the time out of their business schedule and sharing their ups and downs with us all for the sake of our one of the big things that we have aside from this campaign you probably see this poster or something similar to it is also we published some of the recent results that we have or at least up to now of the organization and one of the reasons why we do this each year is because we want to make sure that our partners our donors our t know where their money is going unlike everybody else that you know uh says a lot does a lot we want to show you what these results are I could tell you from my experience and a little bit of knowledge about the whole Torah world I don't know of anybody else uh any other organization on planet Earth that produces dollar for dooll what we've produced over these last few years this is nothing to be arrogant about it's simply who helped us we made every sacrifice that we can possibly make in order to have to make it happen producing nearly 300 films publishing 32 books our own books giving out 154,000 books for free giving out 154,000 books is not a cheap Endeavor anyone that wants to do such a thing has to be completely committed to to his children and most importantly to have we also have fed over 16,000 people over these last several years each year during PES the high holidays throughout the year we help a lot of people eat make sure that they have groceries food all types of things and you guys have seen many of the videos that are uh that we've produced over the years to actually show you the people that are getting this food you have here 160,000 people have eaten nearly 300 Torah films and then on top of all of it we have 1.4 million USB CDs and cars that have been giving out for free all of the work that we've done over the last 10 years on these USBS given out for free last but not least 12,000 video and audio lectures available online in about 14 different languages for the world to watch for free amen for [Music] is [Music] for for [Music] after somebody dies their naturally feels like it needs to be clean and like it needs to go to G home to go clean itself so it could feel better after and one of the reasons why we do this why we show these numbers is because we want to show everyone what we've done to give you an indication an indication of what we can do in the future so this is the time where we need as much of your help as possible to push yourself more than you typically do if you typically donate a couple hundred donate a th if you if you could afford uh the uh uh 8,000 15,000 50, whatever you could afford this is the time to do it because this is going to be the help that we have to help all of these to feed these people and perhaps one day to get that building that we've been wanting to to to build here in the United States to build a community but the all of these things require millions of dollars if not now then when
