MODERN ESAV & YISHMAEL, Women TV, CHALAV YISRAEL, Kilayim, JEWISH PHYSIOLOGY- STUMP THE RABBI (142)

[Music] we're back here on our stump the rabbi Series where after a little bit of you guys will ask some questions and will give us the answers tonight sh uh is going to be an exciting one it's going to be a lot of interesting things about the weekly parasa about what's going on in the world today uh it's um also a sad day where uh today the Arab terrorists uh unfortunately uh you know murdered and injured many Jews in Isel uh in fact it was right around the corner of uh rer fr's uh house it's actually a place where we did a Shure uh where they uh these terrorists had a coordinated uh bomb attack uh you know bombing buses uh because quite frankly the only thing they know uh is uh to murder so uh that's unfortunately what they did we actually uh have uh some uh family that knows the uh the boy 15-year-old boy that uh was murdered by these vicious animals and also injured almost 20 other holy Jews so this will be for the of the precious that left this world today uh from and uh certainly for the and Recovery uh for all of the Jewish people that were injured in this attack uh and also for the and also for the mar Julie and all of our children and all of am is and all the righteous noahides uh we are only a few days away uh from uh the release of the uh third and final um trailer for the new movie the G movie we have a lot of great feedback from different people that are interested in this movie The Last trailer is going to be the uh longest one uh it's about 5 minutes uh and uh certainly it's going to pique your interest also for any of you that want to contribute uh to become Partners in this movie to whatever capacity you want whether big or small there's a literally a chance of a lifetime to be part of it uh so much so that a person could actually uh have their name added to the credits uh or even the introduction of the film uh you just go to the campaign website g.com that's GE h i n n o.com and there is an explanation over there of what's available uh so this is something that uh everybody should do uh because it's these are these are merits that a person is not going to be able to get in any other way uh as many as uh projects as we have and as many as there are uh other organizations that do uh amazing projects and and and good things out there this is something that's unlike any other uh so the uh the door is closing in a few days uh but anyone that wants to get involved is more than welcome too uh last but not least you know right now we are not only in a um in a physical war with Ishmael um and a uh but we're also in a spiritual war with Ishmael uh just like we've been in a spiritual war against isav uh you know for for for many years now where the uh you know the the missionaries the Christian missionaries are attacking am Isel and unfortunately uh succeeding at times uh to uh convert Jews to Christianity according to a statistic uh they uh they converted nearly a half a million Jews over the last few decades the last three decades or so uh so uh the the Christians unfortunately uh you know already stole uh quite a few precious n and uh un as I told you guys a few years ago the uh the uh Muslim dawa uh that is in essence their version of missionizing uh is also now targeting the Jewish people alongside with everybody else uh and at times succeeding at least confusing people uh so more than ever uh is a Jew really uh uh resp responsible to have knowledge of uh what Torah really is and what it's not because that's really the only thing that's going to help you uh when people try to create confusion and this is one of the things we're going to learn from this week's parasa we're going to learn a little bit about yakov's Torah uh versus the uh the the teachings of ishma and uh and and asav so our weekly par toot is uh certainly full of endless insights that uh that we can go into we've covered in the past and uh we we cover today and will cover in the future one of the things that we learned early in the par is a very uh um uh interesting uh teaching that could literally fix every single marriage out there if you would listen to it and we're not going to go too deep into it because there's a lot of material but um the in the beginning of the parasa we learned that Rifka the holy Rifka is also Barren just like all of the other matriarchs uh they they're all Barren the says because Hashem made them Barren because he wanted their prayer prayer for a miracle but uh unlike anything else we've seen thus far we see thata prays in a very different way in a way that teaches us a uh a tool that every couple can use in order to improve their marriage exponentially uh and that is it says that prayed before Hashem opposite his wife because she was baren and they decided they desired to have children and Hashem accepted his prayer and his wife rifa received twins so we see from here that both Rifka and prayed together he was on one side she was on the other side you have Financial issues health issues whatever issues there are you need to pray together now of course in order for you to have that uh that uh interest and even more so that inclination to do so it's even more important for a couple to learn Torah together because if a couple learns Torah together every day instead of wasting their time watching TV or playing on their phone or talking about other people if they simply watch even if it's only 15 or 20 minutes of Torah together uh this is something that uh can improve the marriage you know in in a way unlike anything else because it's a unification of the souls it's a unification of theot of the couple that uh brings their ideology together as well as their souls themselves together that's something that could improve the marriage in a very very big way so here we see that the results that and uh got from praying together were obviously amazing and certainly this is something that we can learn from and we can apply to our lives after after this the Torah goes into the uh the birth of the two sons you have yov you have uh asav and uh initially it's a uh thear says that when isav and uh were teenagers were young kids they looked exactly like they both look like yes they both looked from they uh they both looked the part that they're coming from a goodus a good family uh you of course their father is the the grandfather is AB the uh so these young kids they look exactly the same their voices are the same but then as they start growing up even further things start to change asav forms into what the tat calls a uh a skillful Hunter a skillful Hunter now the uh this means uh the literal term W skillful Hunter uh he was uh more into hunting and killing uh than uh and physicality than anything else but even more so the uh theim teach us that uh asav literally became a bigger and bigger criminal uh as he aged where at this uh stage the uh asav uh was uh uh put a tattoo of a snake on his thigh uh and really the skillful hunting is not referring to his hunting of uh uh of animals but rather of hunting married women of raping women of uh of killing people and also fooling his own father to think that he's righteous to think that he's righteous by asking uh questions that have to do with Torah to make it seem as if he's studying to make it seem as if he's Pious but as soon as he leaves the house he's back to being a criminal with a tattoo on his leg of a snake and the uh and the knives and the murder and the rape and everything else out there very similar to unfortunately the weary of the world today where you have people pretending to be Pious but as soon as they have the opportunity they become their real version of the murderers that they are so this is one thing that we already learned about uh asav and then later on we uh we see uh the uh the isav grow even further when it comes after he comes back from the hunt and he sees that yov is cooking now all of us have heard the story where yov is making this stew and then asav wants this stew so bad that he's willing to give his firstborn uh uh writs his in Hebrew uh and uh and they in essence make the trade but there's a lot more to it than just simply that uh the the is what represented the spiritual it what represented the spirituality because the in Judaism had a significance since the time of the the first born were initially until Mount saai the first born were actually the the kohen Gad they were theim uh they were the ones that would do uh would bring the sacrifices to God they were the ones that would get a larger in inheritance in essence they were the holy ones so when when uh asav says you know uh I'll give you this just give me this red stuff and that's the reason why he's called adom because adom comes from the uh the word uh uh similar to the word for adom which is red uh we learned something deeper there which is why would you call asav adom the nation of adom uh just because he had a red stew it's because the essence of as was materialism the the essence of isav was this red Stew was this physicality so he cared less about spirituality that's the reason why he was willing to Simply give his give his spiritual status to yov Simply to get some type of physical pleasure even more so than that we uh we learn from here the ways of the wicked where isab says that look I'm going to die uh so what use is this for me and the the prophet Isaiah in chapter 22:3 says the wicked people are saying let us eat and drink because tomorrow we will die this is the uh attitude of the wicked in today's language people say you only live once that's the same type of uh mentality that's the same thing that's in essence modernizing of the Torah verse that says eat and drink because tomorrow we're going to die what is that attitude that attitude is enjoy your physical uh uh uh enjoyment as much as possible today because who knows what you have tomorrow that means if you want to commit adultery that means if you want to steal that means if you want to cheat that means if you want to lie whatever it is that's going to give you fun today that's all you should be focused on don't worry about tomorrow and needless to say don't worry about the future this is the Way of the Wicked This is what the tries to convince every young man and woman to do forget about the future just have a good time with him today just have a good time with her tomorrow and little do they know that that one particular Act is literally going to transform the rest of their lives in this world and for eternity just because of that one act as we learned in last night's you from pinkos that the uh the small acts of today of of here make a huge implication of what happens in the upper worlds so it's just like when somebody pulls a little rope at the bottom of the bell tower it makes the uh the big sound at the top of the tower uh it's the same concept with this this is the attitude of the wicked where they don't think that the Rope is going to do anything they don't think that little button uh that's connected to an atomic bomb is going to do anything they don't think that uh ignoring the Torah is going to do anything they think that let me just enjoy today this type of attitude was the attitude of asav now after this uh uh desecration of the spiritual status that God gave to isav decided to allow this transaction to go through uh because asav disrespected it he spurned this and therefore the uh the transaction isly permitted Ally permitted now the uh later on we see that speaks toak their father and he tells that uh he's going to bless him increase his offspring and give him all of these wonderful things why I will do this because of Abraham heeded my word and observe the Safeguard established by my word my Commandments my edicts and my toras world so here we see that is outright telling us that there was a toras plural before Mount sa now of course we've always known that the oral Torah was here since the time of a but at the same token actually says that this is also referring to the noahide laws the noahide laws the in page 57b goes to a very similar verse where hasem talks about how Abraham uh observed this toras uh in um earlier part of the uh of the Torah in chapter 18: 19 very similar uh verse to what we have here and he says this is referring to that particular uh verse was uh to teach us that Hashem gave the noahide laws to mankind already from the beginning and one of the proofs of it is this verse and even more so another proof of it because he's a just God he wouldn't punish the entire world he wouldn't punish Sodom and gomorah for homosexuality and promiscuity and stealing he wouldn't punish the generation of Noah uh with a complete Annihilation for homosexuality for for the Abomination and idolatry that they did he wouldn't punish anybody unless they knew the law so here we see this the says that there are many verses in the Tora inph and other places that show that God gave the oral tah to Mankind and the parts for the Gentiles words the seven Noah HDE laws and one of them that we learn from here is that the women are also obligated in these laws not just the men specifically the laws of of Noah in regards to uh we're talking about the Gen the laws of Noah where the women are obligated to uh have a justice system just like the men are obligated to have a justice system so here we see that the uh the uh the way that Jews learn tah is not just by reading stories this is not a story book but rather by looking and delving into each and every single word and seeing what our sages said how they extrapolated each and every word and connected it to our entire our entire tradition to see what everything means later on in the par we move forward we see uh the uh the story in the uh of ofak becoming more and more similar to his father where he has this problem with a uh taking his wife obviously finding out shortly after that his wife is really is his wife is not his sister it's really his wife uh and um giving her back but uh one of the interesting things is we see that after a sees that is succeeding he kicks him out he says it's a uh it's embarrassing that you are more Rich than the king you're more you're richer than me but then after they see that is continues to uh to succeed they come back to him on them it says in Proverbs 16 ver7 when hasem is happy with somebody with the righteous person even his enemies will come back and apologize just like a did but a didn't have the uh the the the pious status to apologize like a normal person rather he came back and said we want to be friends we want to have peace with you and just make sure you don't don't do evil to us because we've never done anything evil to you on this says a person does not see the obligation himself this a doesn't remember that he's the one that actually caused evil to he's the one that kicked him out he's the one that caused tension between the two notak he is uh having swear to him that he's not going to do any evil to him as if has any history of doing evil he doesn't realize that the all the evil came from a himself but that's the nature of the wicked that's the uh nature of wicked people back then and the nature of people hasn't changed till this day after this section we go and we uh see that the Torah does something very interesting which is it tells us that isav is 40 years old and he gets married to two women he gets married to and he gets uh uh married to basmat and then right after that it goes into the story of the blessing debacle where asav thinks that he's the one that's going to get the blessing from that was the plan he goes out there to get some food for to hunt some game for his father as per his request thinking he's going to get the blessing that's an eternal blessing that's a huge blessing blessing uh and uh he doesn't really care about his father when he sees that he's not succeeding in in in catching any deer he simply kills uh both of his hunting dogs and he cooks them because he doesn't care about his father he cares about the blessing and we even see it in the verses later on when he serves the dish to his father he yells at him says get up and eat meaning he doesn't say it like yov which you also see in the verses where yov says please father it's me you know it's a whole buildup to eventually asking him if father would rise and be more comfortable to eat is when he talks to his father is abrupt obnoxious and uh and simply an insane person but it still sees only the righteousness in him he sees the good in him because he asked them you know all types of Torah questions like you know if I have salt do I still need to give m it just like I give on money just like I give on the uh cattle just like I give on everything else I still should I give to the ISA of Shem and ever I should give them 10% of my salt I should give them 10% meaning he's asking questions which of course you don't have to give 10% of the salt but asav was such a con man that he would use anything he possibly can to try to overcompensate which is the way of asav this is the reason why the verse in this in chapter 27 says the voice is the voice of yov and the hands are the hands of as literally actually referring to the physical uh uh the act that happened which is that it was a yob speaking to his father but he was wearing a uh the uh uh the skin of the uh of the animals that he slaughtered in preparation to make his uh body uh seem more hairy but the sages teach us the holy Jewish sages teach us that this has a much deeper M meaning which is that the wicked people the deceivers the asav the Ishmael they're going to sound like yov they're going to sound righteous but in reality if you give it enough time if you double check what they say you'll eventually realize they're asav they're Ishmael it's still the same they just sound like yob they sound righteous sometimes they sound like they make sense they sound like they care about you they sound like they want the better good but in reality you'll see it's nothing like that why anyone that is not following the Torah has no concept of what good is simply no concept because good could only be defined by the creator of good and the creator of good gave us the definition and the instructions to be good through his Torah and nothing else else not the Quran and not the New Testament but of course even righteous people can get fooled and we actually see this actually happening in our par and this is the part we're going to spend the rest of the segment on which is the teachings of Ishmael the teachings of asav how can they fool people first we have to start with how did asav fool is righteous hases is a prophet but you should know that prophecy Ines is not a all day 24 hours a day thing it happens when God wants it to happen so here did not want it to happen did not want it to happen and allow this to happen the way it does the way it did but how did uh not know his son how did he get fooled like I said the first thing is that every time asav would see his father he would pretend to be righteous he would say things but even more so we actually learned in this week's that there is a reason why every verse is where it is and we also learned that there's a reason why God decided to put the couple of verses that talk about how asav at 40 years old decid decided to get married to these two women right before it talks about the blessing what you I mean technically if you look at this verse where it's in a chapter 26 verse 34 and 35 it really seems out of place it has nothing to do with what happens right after which is the blessing debacle and it has nothing to do with what happened before so you're trying to figure out why do I need to know that asav got married at 40 years old to these two women now if you want to mention it just mention it at the end of the par just like it mentions that isav married a third Woman ishmael's daughter so let's just find out from there what do I need to know now about these two women so this is what we have to learn asav married these two women and we see that these women are named yehudit and basmat so the first thing that a person can rationalize is that if he was the only one that's married it's only rational for his father to want to give him the blessing over his brother who's not married this is rational he's married he has more need for a blessing rather than a single man that doesn't have any responsibilities at this point so that's the rational aspect of it but of course we don't work off of rationality we work off of verses in the Torah to support our rationale and we found some friends to support it so here we see that there is names being mentioned of women but if we look further in the Torah and we move forward to chapter 36 verse number two from 26 so we're moving forward 10 chapters to a completely different Torah tells us that asav had a lineage this is the history of asav these are the offering of asav what are they is had taken his wives among the kenite women the daughter of Alon daughter of Anna daughter of Zeon the Evite and basmat the daughter of Ishmael sister of navot so anyone that looks at the two here says wait a minute there's a contradiction here it says in our verse in our parha it says that basmat is is married to Alon whereas in chapter basat is not the daughter of Elon she's the daughter of Ishmael what he change she changed father even more so we don't see yit yit the daughter of B she's not here and then which is the woman that he married it's the daughter of Ishmael at the end of this week's par she's not mentioned here mentioning basmat so what is there a contradiction now of course if you go to the Christians if you go to the Arabs they're going to tell you oh you see I told you there's mistakes in the Torah that I believe in the Revelation but I just don't believe that that Revelation is in the Torah that the Jewish people have we believe in the Quran we believe in the New Testament we believe in the we believe in everything else we don't believe the people of the book even though our own books say to believe the people of the book The Quran says believe the people of the book The Jewish people if you find mistakes in the Quran if you don't know what to do go to the Jewish people same with the New Testament the New Testament itself says if you any have any any issues any go to the people of the book go to the people of mosenu and his Torah that's where the truth is their own books say to go to us but the people of today are so ignorant of their own teachings that apparently we know more about their teachings than they know but needless to say we don't need to know their teachings we need to know our teachings is this a contradiction or not is this a mistake shalom in the Torah or not now of course if you're a Christian or you're a Muslim you read the Torah literally you take it at face value and already after just a few weeks into the year you found a mistake you simply can't learn anymore why there's a mistake so it's not Divine now if you are a Jew you don't learn Torah literally you learn Torah based on what the interpretation of everything is which has support from other verses from other books from other teachings from from other parts of the tah now one of the things that we see here is already at our Paras we learned something extraordinary not only will you never find any mistakes in the tah but everything has an explanation that's very clear asav was 40 years old and he married y the daughter of and then he married the basmat the daughter of Elon thean 800 years ago approximately 750 years ago before he gives even his own opinion he tells you what Rashi said this is how our sages treat each other they respect each other's opinions they take it they even if they have a contradicting opinion or they disagree on something they honor unlike the teachers of today in the uh in the uh other religions and unfortunately sometimes among ourselves will people disregard the uh the uh the the sages of the past our sages the way they look at everything they tell you this is what the uh is accepted opinion so Rashi says and we don't understand a single version of Tor without Rashi that these names they're fake they're not real names what does it mean not real names this is the way that asav fooled his father by taking on a girl named basmat calling her basmat really she was Ada her name was Ada the daughter of alone the same name that it says in chapter 36 but he called her basmat why he says look she uh she does uh the uh incense offering to God in reality she did incense offering to her Idol but he wanted his father to make to think that the incense offering that she's doing is for God she's righteous and even more so the other girl uh uh yit our real name was AI like Osama Bin Laden like Obama you know like this was mentioned in chapter 36 but in this week's she's named yit why yit because the wicked one as nicknamed her yit as if to say she rejected idolatry she became part of our people Y in order to deceive his father he called a yit but in reality she was an idol worshipper and what's the proof they were both Idol worshippers the very next verse in the Torah says that these wives were rebellious and provocative in their actions against the word of and so from here we see that if you look at things in the Torah at face value like the illiterates like the spiritual illiterate and sometimes otherwise Idol and so on what you're going to end up with is confusion is is what seems like contradictions and it's very very simple for you to lose hope to lose Faith but if you learn T the T of you learn T you have to look at things much more deeply and not fall for the traps of the wicked deceivers because the deceivers their number one job their number one mission in the world is to fool you but they're not going to fool you with by saying listen you know there's no such thing as Abraham there's no such thing as yob there's no such thing as Moses not going to do that they're going to tell you yeah we believe in Moses we call him Musa we believe he Moses we believe in Abraham he's also our father yeah we believe in yob we believe in We believe We believe in God we're the same God we're cousins it's just that your people Chang the Torah and we have the real version we have the Quran and the same concept with the Christians with their nonsense so what are they going to do how do they do this they do this with a pleasant voice the voice of yov but in reality it's the hands of asav now this week one uh student mine about send me a clip of some Arab she that is uh targeting Jews and of course just like the Christians they always Target the ignorant unlearned Jews the ones that more or less do not observe Shabbat or learn t on a regular basis and they make a video about it because in the eyes of the Muslims in the eyes of the Christians one Jew is worth a billion of their own people so they'll celebrate fooling one Jew converting one Jew Shalom and literally destroying one Jew's eternity they'll celebrate that for the rest of their life even if the rest of their life is full of failure with their own communities so this Arab Sheikh what did he do he made a little short clip that confused my student what he says to a Jewish man that comes to him sounds confident and a Jewish man that's not doesn't look Jewish but you know doesn't have a keep or anything he's not a yes or anything but he comes to him and he says to the Arab but you believe in the Torah right so the she says to him nice and calmly yes I believe in a divine revelation but I just don't believe that that divine revelation is in what you call Torah the the Jewish people changed it oh why why do you think that oh there are contradictions obvious contradictions numerical contradictions he tells him so of course this guy doesn't even have a clue of what what's about to hit him in the face this Jewish guy because the Arab is prepared or at least he thinks he is and he says you want me to show you you know trying to be like friendly and open yeah you know listen you're not my target I'm not looking to do anything I'm here to educate I'm here to you know Enlighten but if you want I'll even help you I'll show you where there's contradictions in your own Torah so of course the ignorant juice says okay sure go ahead and he says look you have a Torah and your Torah says in the book of Kings 2 chapter 8 verse 25 that aazah became king of Judah at the 12th year and when he was 22 years old 22 years old he was in Jerusalem his mother was atala the granddaughter of om but then if you go to a different part of your Torah same Torah now of course he's looking this this Arab is looking at at a Christian King James Bible he's not looking at the Torah but anyway for all intents and purposes in this particular particular conversation it doesn't actually matter now he says in a different parts of Torah in Chronicles 2 chapter 22 it mentions the same thing only one small difference it says a was 42 years old when he became king and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem his mother was atala the granddaughter of om he says you see it's the same aazia it's he became king in Jerusalem same mother so you can't tell me it's a different a because she has the same father the she's the granddaughter of om so how could he become king at 22 and 42 so you see I have tons of this he says mistake mistake 20 year difference 42 and 22 obviously it's a mistake in your Torah if there's one mistake in the Torah it's not Divine so of course the poor Jew has no idea what to do and they make a mockery out of this and they're having a good time so now my students send this to me generally speaking I love to debate I did it as part of my business for almost 20 years but I don't do it in the religious world for several reasons which I have a whole Shure about why I don't debate and generally speaking because I don't debate I don't usually address these types of people because I know that to help them is impossible because they're not looking to be helped but here I knew it has nothing to do with helping the Arab it has to do with my student and anybody else that's watching this stupid video by the Arab that's distorting our Torah that's why I need help so I took some time it made a short video to respond to it anyone that saw it praiseworthy anyone that didn't will have the same exact answer here you see if you're an Arab or a Christian as I said and will repeat a million and a half times you read the Torah literally you read the Torah at face value you read whatever you see and you make a whole big deal out of one sentence if you're a Jew if you're yov you don't do any of that stuff why you read the whole book and everything else that's connected to it because that's the only way that you can be sure that you are aware and familiar with the world around every verse not just that one verse and had that Jew needless to say had the Arab had a little bit a little bit of they would have said hold on a second you're saying that chapter 22 second verse talks about a 42 years old what does it say before what does it say after because obviously the story of a didn't just start here out of nowhere there has to be something that led up to it and if he just simply went back two verses to the end of chapter 21 instead of being at chapter 22 at the beginning the end of chapter 21 he would have found the answer with the end of chapter 21 and verse 20 it talks about the father of aazah and it says the father of aaz Y he uh it says earlier that he um he got sick he had an intestinal disease that was incurable he got punished by God and and the last verse says that he was 32 years old when he became king and he ruled for 8 years years in Jerusalem and he departed without enjoyment meaning he died and they buried him in the city of David but not in the graves of the Kings so here we already learned a whole lot of stuff number one that was 42 and 22 has a father his name is y his father had an intestinal disease which is the way he died died when did he die at 40 years old how long was he King 8 years 40 minus 32 he became king at 32 died at 40 that's eight years so now in the Jewish world if you die at 40 as a king it is impossible for you to have a son that's 42 maybe if you're Arab maybe if you're something else but a Jew we don't do math that way we cannot be 40 years old with a 42y old son so obviously if he died at 40 years old his son took over to be King when he died and in fact if you look at that chapter 21 It also says that his son aaz was not even his oldest son it was his youngest son meaning that there were sons that were older but they ended up dying and the only one that was left at the time of y's death was a so how do you Rectify all of this so you already know that if his father died at 40 the statement that says that aaza was 42 years old when he became king obviously cannot be taken at face value whereas the statement of him being 22 that's mentioned in chapter uh 8 verse 25 in Kings 2 that could be taken at face value why it's perfectly normal for a 40-year-old to have a 20-year-old 22y old kid that makes sense so how do we rectify the 42 what do we do with that is that a contradiction is that a mistake only in the Arab world only in the Christian world I don't know how to learn toah but the Jewish World we look at the entire sentence we see that God made sure that every word is placed there carefully for a reason and in there it specifically says that his mother was atala the granddaughter of om why do I care about his grandfather why do I need to know that Aya's grandfather was om why for what that's because King Assa who was Aya's great-grandfather married the son of yapat to the daughter of King om and combined the family of King David which were righteous with the wicked people of om and because of that they both got punished meaning his father died at a young age he himself only LED as a king for a short period of time the entire family was cursed because they combined the righteous and the wicked and thereby everybody became became Wicked when did this happen 42 years before he became king meaning that the first time in Kings 2 where it says that a became king at 22 that's when it's referring to his real age the second time it says when he's 42 it's because it's referring to a time frame this kinghood is connected to what happened 42 years ago so you see if a person allows thems enough time to learn Torah from the Jewish people from the sages that have toiled and toiled over every single verse and have support and evidence for every single thing that's in the tah you will find an answer for every question humanly possible you'll never find something you don't have an answer for you'll never find something there's no explanation for that could affect your life you will have all of the issues you can possibly imagine addressed in the Holy Torah but if you go out there and you go listen to or is then what you're going to end up with are people that are looking to deceive you because they have an agenda just like asab had an agenda just like Ishmael had an agenda but they're not going to tell you they have an agenda because to you they're going to sound like yov and that's why our weekly par says the voice is the voice of yov but the hands are the hands of if you learn T from asav even if he sounds good and he's a good speaker and he's exciting and he's this and he's a that remember he's still asav it's forbidden to learn Torah from him it's forbidden to believe anything they say the same goes for isma the only place that you can rely on are true Torah Jews Jews that learn Torah honestly with the tradition at hand with the Mas with the explanation with the sources and without an agenda we have the answers you just have to ask very simple this allows us to not only address different interesting issues within the weekly Paras but also take some of these tools to deal with some of these problems that are out there in the world today you have the Christians missionizing at the highest level in history in the past when they tried to convert the Jews to Christianity and the Jews refused they simply murdered Us by the millions today they're not murdering us physically at least not for the last 75 years but spiritually they're looking to murder us left and right the missionizing by the Christians is not going to stop anytime soon the Muslims on the other hand Ishmael their daah is no longer just focused on the Christians and the atheists it's also focused on the ignorant Jews it's also focused on the naive Jews they target Jewish women in ER Isel with money with all types of luxury with all types of false hope just to bring them back to their Villages and rape them and pretend like they're married to them only to literally tie them with chains to the uh refrigerator and never allow them to leave again many Palestinian terrorists don't realize that their mother is Jewish they're brought up to hate their own brothers because they don't realize that their mother is actually Jewish 60,000 Jewish girls have been captured by these Muslim terrorists 60,000 we're talking about big numbers here for we're not China we're not America we don't have hundreds of millions of people 60,000 girls for us is an enormous number they're doing this to the girls they're doing this to the boys in America the fastest growing religion is Islam they've normalized it and beautified it to the point where your your average American is becoming more inclined to adapt it to fall into it and in fact many of the black guys and girls in America that are part of this Hebrew Israelite movement are now feeling empowered by joining Islam where they're either going to call themselves The Real Jews and the real Jews of today that are Torah observant they call us the fake Jews because they're black and we're not even though there are plenty of black Jews but apparently they're not aware of this and Judaism is not determined by skin color and never was and never will be nor is it determined by DNA never was and never will be but nonetheless these black people think that their color is so significant that it determines their uh their uh their Heritage their lineage and many of them are actually going to Islam some of them are staying with Christianity some are going to Islam 100% some have a mix of both literally they have a mix of both it's the it's the same mishmash of craziness but it's empowering a lot of people that are looking for attention looking for a position of power and they're making movies and they're making videos and they're making making protest and they're making a lot of noise this has already been going on for several years there was a movie that came out a couple years ago that made a lot of noise and a lot of black people went after it and followed the Hebrew Israelite movement slowly but surely becoming more and more anti-semitic then the idiot Kanye West put even more fuel on the fire with his IDI see in his anti-Semitism and his ignorance even though what he said wasn't necessarily as bad as what some people make it seem to be still nonetheless in the eyes of people especially the ones that are already have the Jews on their target and on their radar he magnified the fire so now you have a bunch of these so-called Hebrew Israelites these Muslims and these Christians making all types of videos and lectures and debates specifically targeting the Jewish people and our Torah and distorting the reality distorting the facts and worse yet they're not receiving much of a response the Jewish World remains quiet one of the reasons is because the common belief is that if we address them if we respond to them perhaps it'll make them angrier and more violent this is a flawed logic we've seing it time and time again fail where when we don't respond when we don't defend our Torah we don't defend ourselves it doesn't help us doesn't help us in any way in fact especially with people that are hot-tempered and people that are looking for an for attention like these Hebrew Israelites not not responding to them actually fuels their fire even more because from their warped logic they think that because we don't respond we don't have a response and therefore that gives them even more empowerment in their eyes that they're right that they really are Jews initially they just figured listen I'm African-American my ancestors were slaves this that even though that has nothing to do with me hundreds of years have already passed my favorite uh thing to do is play basketball football or I want to trade in the stock market or I want to be a doctor I live in America none of the slavery actually really affects me but nonetheless I'll play that slavery card because sometimes it helps me get some uh people to say uh to say nice things to me get accepted in schools in jobs and so on and so forth so you know this is the the uh the uh uh the black guy before the Hebrew Israelites once the Hebrew Israelites capture this guy he's in their radar they get him on all all of a sudden he's no longer a victim he's no longer a victim no now he's the leader now the Jews are the uh the the slaves the Jews are the uh the enemy how just just just a few days ago you were saying that you are persecuted you can't get the right job you can't get the right school you can't get the right this you can't get the right that and and now you're the empowered one you're this what happened what just because you had a conversation you saw a video on YouTube what happened why because you with that funny clothes on that you got from some costume store what what's the how did you change from this to this the truth is all of this comes from ignorance ignorance of the Jews and the Gentiles alike now the Jews are obligated to know their Torah the Gentiles are obligated to know their version of the Torah which is the noahide laws of course many of them don't even know that exists but the point being is that the only only defense that a Jew will have in the spiritual war that's today against the missionaries of Christianity or the missionaries or of Islam or the mixed MH of the Hebrew Israelites half Muslim half Christian craziness the only way is if the Jew has knowledge of the truth knowing enough of the Torah to know how to deal with these issues takes time takes time so you can't get that time tomorrow but what you do need to get and what you do need to to have already right now is enough confidence in our Torah and enough humility in your knowledge where you know that if somebody shows you something that contradicts our Torah something that you don't understand you simply say listen I don't understand I have to look into it and even if they say all types of pressuring statements to you saying ah what you don't know your own Torah you call yourself a Jew you don't have an obligation to know the entire Torah by heart this is why debates are not really the best example of knowledge debates generally speaking are the example of who knows how to to think quickly to think quickly to come up with tools and words in order to fool the audience to carry them to theight similar to a lawyer real debates are done with time with text without pressure so don't debate anybody not online not on videos focus on learning focus on learning enough to know the information to know the Torah and also to develop enough humility that when someone gives you something about our Torah that is contradictory that is not explainable just know you don't know everything but you could find out if you take enough time you open up the books you'll find the answer trust me when I tell you we've been around for 3,333 years since we got the Torah Mount sa no Arab from 1400 years ago and needless to say no idolator from 2,000 years ago is going to teach us our Torah if you combine both of their religions they don't add up to a single page in our holy Torah but of course they will always sound like Yakov because that's their intention if you allow them they'll make you even feel like they're Yakov the key is to know who really Yakov the key is to know that Yakov has the answers you have to focus on learning our holy Torah and not debating any of these monkeys not debating any of these elephants not debating any of these idolators not debating any of these people you have to go learn about what Rashi says now for any anyone that knows me already for all the years this has nothing to do with race this has nothing to do with color I have plenty of friends students employees former employees all types of people that I've associated with from all over the world I have students that I treat like my children and even spend more time with them than I do with my own children that are black people that are Spanish people that are from different parts of the Middle East none of that stuff matters to me I don't see color so don't make any comment oh he's racist he's this go play that card on somebody else even on my channel you'll see that one of my very dear sons who I call my son but he's really from a different mother he uh you know married another one of my daughters he's black she's not so it's we have made a whole movie for them not because we're looking for views because we thought it was a special story so this has nothing to do with race race has nothing to do with Judaism Judaism has everything to do with the Torah now to remind any of you that perhaps are going to be attacked or confused about the Israelite Hebrew Israelite nonsense that is uh becoming louder and more obnoxious today you don't need to debate them because you could destroy their entire belief system in a single sentence their whole principle their whole belief system is based on their color because they're black therefore they're the Jews that's their belief why because they believe that Judaism started somehow in Egypt not really sure how they got there and then they believe because Moses married uh Tora and it says tpor was a kushit and kushit could be translated into a uh a black woman so therefore that all o is supports their warped logic so again Judaism did not start with Moses everyone knows this but apparently no one taught them this Judaism started with AB ainu ainu ainu we learned about him the first time at the end of parat Noah abrah ainu came from B and he was in a city called at the end of parat Noah in chapter 10 you'll see that there's a city called B Babylon and in that City they had in that uh country they had a place called and then after that in the beginning of we see that Abraham leaves with his family and goes toan now what are all these places today B is Babylon Babylon or Babylonia you look it up on the internet that is modern day Iraq Iraq and Khan is turkey now throughout all of history including today you will never find black people living and being the majority of the people of Iraq perhaps some African American or African black people whatever it you know Haitians move there hanging out there maybe have a few shops a few electronic stores a few uh I don't know uh uh restaurants whatever they but as far as the people themselves in Iraq have never and will never be black people some of them are darker some of them are lighter some of them skin complexion like mine some have a little darker some a little lighter but nonetheless everyone knows they're not African-Americans they don't look like Kanye West they don't look like pidi they don't look like 50 Cent they certainly look don't look like the Hebrew Israelites a is not something you can challenge everyone knows everything started with abam abah came from Iraq Sarah also came from Iraq not Egypt not Ethiopia not Nigeria so anyone that says they're Jewish because they're black is simply an idiot who doesn't know anything about Judaism now are there black Jews absolutely there are there are black Jews in Nigeria there are black Jews in Israel in there are black Jews in America there are black Jews everywhere but one of the unique things that aad put into the creation only in the Jewish people and no other people is that the Jewish people changed their form due to the air that's what the zad says that the Jewish people if they move to a certain place their form will change over the generations to start looking like the people that they live next to so that means that if you have an ashkanazi Jew white as a piece of bread move him in his family and his little white kids that eat uh chulent and geila fish you move them to Africa you build a nice community over there go back there 3 400 years later you're going to see some of his descendants without into marriage some of his descendants are much darker than some of the people that you see today and call them black why because our skin complexion is not like other people based on biology it has to do with spirituality this is why you have Jews of all colors of all shapes there was a huge community of Chinese Jews up until until maybe uh less than 100 years ago over 5,000 Jews lived in China and they looked as Chinese as the Chinese people you see today with the eyes with the skin complexion with everything they look Chinese but they were 100% Jewish this is not into marriage this is not conversion Jewish same thing with Ethiopian Jews many of them that moved into to Israel Shalom after confirming that they were all 100% Jewish not converts not people that were born non-jews and want to become Jews no no they are 100% Jewish and of course there are many issues with the the uh uh uh the Jews from uh from bafra and other parts of Africa because there's not enough proofs and nonetheless even when there are enough proofs there's not a enough unfortunately there's not a big enough Rabbi with big enough shoulders to take it on and simply put the on the behan Jews and the other Jews that are living in Africa but let no one confuse you to think that your skin complexion is what makes you Jewish or what doesn't make you Jewish there are Jews in Venezuela they look exactly like the rest of the people in Venezuela there are Jews in Iraq there are Jews in Iran to this day there are Jews in Iran there's till this day there's a community of Jews in Iran that are religious Jews there are Jews in Yemen that look just like the yeminite people there are Jews in Afghanistan there are Jews in India that look just like the Indians many of them moved already is there's a en Indian Jewish community in Israel they all look like people from India and they are from India but they're Jews that have a direct connection to the time of the BET mikdash 2,000 years ago this is the one unique thing in the physicality of the Jews that's unlike anyone else in the world because if you're a Spanish Chinese uh Russian black whatever you are and you're a gentile guess what you can move to America as black 300 years later your kids are still black so long as you contain the assimilation your kids are still black you're Russian you move to the middle of Africa so long as you contain the assimilation don't assimilate with the people that are of different color guess what 500 years later you're still white like a piece of bread Russian why because the color of the Russian or the black or the Chinese or the Indian that are not Jewish have to do with Biology have to do with the physical makeup of the people the Jewish people it has to do with a it has to do with and we've seen and we have proofs where you can look online pick any nation in the world just put the nation and then the word Jewish after it and you'll find pictures or even videos of Jewish people that have a written written not theoretical not belief in my heart written proofs that they are connected to the same Jews that were at Mount saai they were connected to the Jews at at the uh the beta mikdash 2,000 years ago Syrian Jews some of the oldest communities out there what do you think if you go to Syria you'll see them look different they look like syrians the uh Jews from Tripoli my ancestors what do you think we look like a uh Moroccans no we look like Jews from Tripoli and Moroccan Jews what do you think they look like uh Jews from uh from from America no they look like Moroccans why because that's how created the world with the Jews being unique both physically and spiritually now if you're going to play the race card at least know who you're playing with we are called the people of the book because we follow the book we don't speak extra loud l or extra obnoxious or extra intimidating just for the sake of proving our points we don't need to we have the proof we have the connection now if you want to join our people you want to be a real Jew you don't need to pretend Sal alayum welcome you're welcome to come but you have to convert Orthodox convert verion go to a bed de follow the laws of the Tor then you'll be a Jew don't tell me you're a Jew because of your color don't tell me you're a Jew because of some person that told you whatever they told you you want to be a Jew follow the Torah Torah says if you weren't born a Jew you have to convert to Judaism Judaism is not determined by DNA Judaism is not determined by feelings Judaism is not determined by theories Judaism is determined based on the laws of a Torah and those laws of a Torah welcome everybody in the world today to convert to Judaism if they want but if you are going to continue playing this nonsensical card that's going to mislead the public know that you will be punished severely the G for the Gentiles that try to mislead the Jewish people will never end the Messiah will come the world will end but the fire that burns those people will never end the agony and pain that they will have will be shown to all of society so much so when the resurrection of the Dead happens will allow them to resurrect completely disheveled and destroyed just to see see all of the righteous people prosper and for all of the righteous people to see all of the wicked people that didn't follow the way of God so if you want to follow the Torah follow come join us you want to distort the Torah you are an eny enemy of God and God will take care of you for you Jewish people that are watching it's better you get acclimated to your desk to your books because you have a spiritual war coming whether you like it or not with that being said you guys can start asking questions in a moment I'll have a drink will give us the answers okay first question I see is I understand that men should not watch TV due to perhaps viewing immodest women on TV however can women watch TV such as the news and other old-fashioned family type movies no what's forbidden for a man is forbidden for a woman women are also not allowed to watch immodest women or E modest men uh and also they're also not allowed to uh waste their time watching things that are not going to help them get closer to Hashem needless to say to watch news and all types of things that are full of full of Gossip uh and needless to say full of things that are antithetical to the Torah uh is uh unhealthy for a marriage and will certainly cause problems for that uh woman in her life in her marriage and in her connection to God so TV is not good for anyone now to watch specific programs that are educational whether it's to learn a trade uh you know you you want to learn some type of profession or you're trying to learn some type of a documentary or you want to see certain uh uh uh you know videos about uh learning a uh skill or certain subject so long as everything is modest you can but this is selective programming uh selective programming to but to watch this General shows you know the the pretend he's the father she's the mother but he has a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend and the kids grow up and they love everybody and then they find out about each other and they can't they're disappointed and you get all emotional and you start thinking that your husband is cheating on you because the guy on TV cheated on his wife all that stuff get that out of your house get that out of your life get that out of your mind it's not good for men it's certainly not good for women to watch that type of stuff you want to watch something that's education it's going to get you uh either a better job or more educated about something that's relevant to what you do every day uh or or or something that's going to educate you about t by all means there's plenty of information that you could learn and watch but other things are certainly a problem and and the news is simply not necessary uh it's full of immodesty it's full of lies uh and uh it will create no value whatsoever in your life there's no need for you to know the news uh other than uh if you want to see I don't know maybe once a week once a month once a year see the headlines uh what's uh just the title and you already get the point who died who lied who uh succeeded who failed who's being destroyed in the media now let's say that's the news every single day for the last 50 years nothing changes um someone's asking what does it mean to use Torah for personal benefit as it's mentioned by H and in not to do it and why is it such an important subject that it was repeated in two separate M uh so we have entire series of discusses these particular things much more deep than I'll be able to do now because it's just it's a very deep subject but nonetheless it's when somebody takes the Torah and specifically teaches it uh for the sake of monetary profit or for the sake of profit for honor and not for the sake of learning it for the sake of learning and learning it for the sake of teaching in order to get people closer to Hashem when a person let's say for example is going to uh um use Torah for uh in order to make money out of it where he's he's going to end up saying things that are going to end up distorting the toah he's either going to say things that are not really in the Torah uh because he knows that people will like it more so for example like people that say that there is no punishment and God really needs us that obviously is not in the Torah but there are people that say this and they even claim that this is in the Torah uh because they know that this is what gives people a good feeling about their sins and if they feel good about their sins because of what they heard from that person then they're going to want to support that person because he makes them feel good it makes them feel good about their wickedness so a person like this goes to uh the uh Gom and never comes out never comes out so using the tah for that type of thing uh that's obviously a benefit for that person in this world but it's certainly going to be a disaster to that person for eternity so you're not allowed to uh use the Torah for that particular sense now you're allowed to make a living uh you're allowed to make a living meaning that if let's say for example you want to teach somebody asks you to teach somebody uh either a private lesson or a lecture or a teach them gar or teach them Al whatever it is you're allowed to charge for what you do because there's an opportunity cost uh that uh if you weren't teaching this person or you weren't teaching this group you would be able to do work elsewhere and make a certain amount of money so you're allowed to make a living from the Tora there's no there's no prohibition against making a living out of it but you can't make the profit the primary goal like people do in the business world uh it's a uh because when you do it'll eventually and inevitably going to lead the person to changing and distorting the Torah where either they're going to outright lie about what's in the Torah just to appease people or they're going to eliminate part of the truth where they're going to tell people parts of let's say the weekly Torah portion but exclude the parts that talk about punishment the parts that talk about observant of certain MIT that they know that people in that Community are not observing so the you know removal of the truth is also another form of lying another form of lying so when a person is doing it for a personal benefit which usually is either for a benefit of money or benefit of Honor or combination thereof then they're going to to uh end up changing the Torah uh and uh and misleading people and that's why it's it's it's so serious because anyone that changes the tah has no share of the world to come and it's very easy to change the tah very very easy you saw how that Arab changed the toah you see how the Christians change the tah every single day and unfortunately you see many so-called rabbis change the to to their likings uh on a regular basis uh in order to fit their crowds uh their audiences uh by teaching them only parts of the Torah that are that they believe their crowd can handle rather than teaching the Torah that their crowd needs there's a difference between the two what your crowd can handle is uh is really uh you know not something that you could ever be uh aware of because you're not a prophet and uh if God gave the Torah to that means that we can handle the entire Tor but what you need is different for different people if you're in front of a crowd of people that are new to Torah then you need to teach them about reward and Punishment if you're in front of a group of aim uh Torah Scholars you have to teach them about things that are much more advanced much more complicated if you're in front of a group of uh Elders you have to deal with other issues so it depends what your crowd is but it's always the same Torah it's just you know it's a uh what you teach that group when you do it for the sake of teaching the students in order to better to help better themselves then the Torah itself is not going to change but when you do it in order to better yourself your own circumstances the Torah is becomes Dynamic and constantly changes to the point where it's no longer Torah uh next question Jeremy is asking do I have to not sell my clothing do I have to not sell my clothing three days before and after xiss uh or is that only buying from their businesses is it a v viation of do if my sh prays the wrong way and I turn to M uh so as far as selling your clothes uh you can sell your clothes at any time uh you know especially since the uh you know the the customers you're not targeting specifically people that are idolators you're not targeting specifically uh people that are part of the church you're you have your business open you do what you need to do now if if you could avoid it avoid it but because the says that uh you know not to do business with an idolor uh three days before he goes to his Idol worshipping holiday because Le he use the money that you give him in order to honor his false god so that's the that's the source of what he saying so but as far as if you're selling a product your customer could be anybody it could be anid Idol it could be a Jew it could be a uh atheist it could be all types of people it could be a Muslim that are you know they're monotheistic they're Heretics but they're monotheistic so you're you have no problem as far as selling the things that you're selling uh and you know as far as uh anytime you even the day of or day before there's no there's no issue there as far as a uh uh you know praying in a different direction than your sh that depends if there's a rabbi in the if there's a Rabbi in the r you have to follow the rabbi uh you have to follow the rabbi uh but if there's no Rabbi in the r then uh you know then you have to tell them that they're praying the wrong direction uh but certainly you should bring this up to the rabbi with proof bring a compass and show the rabbi that the uh you know the direction is uh different if you're so confident that it's different show it them and you know and I'm sure that the rabbi if he has even an ounce of he'll change it's not uh it's not such a big deal doesn't require uh them to change a building or anything can you please explain what uh on products really mean uh it's necessary to follow the stringencies today yeah technically I mean it's it's not uh uh again it all depends on where a person is in their life where a person is in their life if they're brand new uh B Chua and by brand new I don't mean you know they started doing chuva last week I know even within the first few years uh and uh you know if if it's difficult for them to take this on then they could just focus on being kosher focus on keeping Shabbat being modest the basics uh if they're more advanced or even if they're new but they're stronger and they're willing to do some of this like only uh consuming which is a uh you know having the supervision of Jews on the cow it's not a uh it's not literally a cow that only lives in Israel you could have is is manufactured in America uh but it has to be supervised by a Jew has to be done by a Jew as far as milking the cow uh you know the the has to do with the p uh you know these are different things that are certainly important but again it's if a person is brand new it'll be too difficult for them to even understand some of this stuff there's plenty of information online you could go into more details but I could tell you this today if you live in America or you live in Canada or you live in England uh Australia Israel really where there's the biggest you know Jewish populations out there it's so easy to acquire these products whether it be or all the other things out there that it's it's it's easy to observe these things if one wants to do it it's easy to observe it usually the problems that people have I would say with is when it comes to Candy because uh the the candy that's available that's kosher uh you know it's chocolates and things of that nature all of the big brands are not all of the big brands are not uh whereas the the the Jewish you know companies uh that have candy they have similar things uh and they are but if a person let's say I don't know he has a big Lust For Twix bar or Snickers bar you know or some type of Hershey bar that's not is so if he's string with is he's uh or he wants to be stringent and but you tell him listen if you're going to do that you are going to have to give up on your weekly uh Twix bar uh now if a person is weak you'll give up the whole thing so it's not worth it it's not worth it to even tell him that because that will just weaken him on the other hand if a if a person is not such a uh food hug and uh it's not really such a big deal then to keep is not really a big deal uh but I can tell you one thing that uh there are certain uh certain uh Jews that are more stringent than others there are certain Jews that are more stringent than others uh when it comes to when it comes to uh you know for example kabad is uh much more stringent when it comes to is than I think uh you know many others if not everybody uh they to them if it's not is it's uh it's like as if it's not Kosher that's simply not true uh if something is kosher but it's not is it's still kosher and according to M Feinstein uh one of the uh giant pioneers of American Judaism and one of the biggest rabbis in history uh the regular uh milk that you have that's kosher that you have in America is is perfectly fine to drink drink uh and uh we don't have any concern about you drinking uh kosher milk that's not is because the the main concern that uh that's behind is is that if you gave the responsibility to a non-jew he may end up giving you milk from uh camel or give you milk from uh I don't know from a pig now MOS Feinstein answers in his mhe and he says this is not a realistic concern anymore more perhaps it was a concern in the past in previous generations you know I don't know 500 years ago a thousand years ago but in today's world is not no it's no longer a concern and the reason why is because these uh places where Jews live like America have such stringent laws for anyone that puts the wrong ingredients in in their products that they could lose a lot more than they gain so even if they hate Jews and they want Jews to uh to uh consume non- kosher milk from Pig they're never going to do it they're never going to put Pig milk or camel milk in a jar that says cow milk they're never going to do it because they could lose number one all of their business government will shut them down number two their customers are not only Jewish in fact the majority of their customers are non-jews so it's it's doesn't uh and number three there is a uh there's so much competition out there that if somebody would simply make a product that's not good immediately they they get replaced they get replaced there's very very few products that are uh that are cons considered uh you know indisposable or like Consumer Staples very few products uh you know most things out there are replaceable most companies out there have to constantly innovate even more so with food so uh when it comes to to to kosher milk that's not according to raos Feinstein it's not a problem for a Jew to drink it if it's not possible for him to get kalav but if you live in a in a developed Jewish community and it's easy for you to get because it's easily accessible then certainly you should take it on it's not really a stringency it's not really anything it's it's it's easily accessible to you why wouldn't you want to get but if it's difficult for you to get it because either the community is not developed so they don't have it or it's like halfway developed similar to Florida where in Florida you get is said but many times I would say probably about you know uh at least now I think lately it's been better but I would say uh at some point when we first moved here 50 60% of the time you bought theab it was bad by the time you got it to your house it was already bad even though the date the date on it said that it was uh literally has another two weeks left two weeks in their dreams it was already bad the minute you got it to your house uh similar to the problems you have with organic eggs where nine out of 10 eggs are have blood in them that you can't eat so there are sometimes issues with with the company or the community or or or the market but if you have easy access to good products that are is or otherwise because you live in a developed Community certainly you should take these things on but it should never cause a fight between a couple if let's say for example the wife wants to keep but the husband doesn't no problem let him eat his so long as it's kosher let him eat his kosher Dairy as much as he wants don't even look look at him the wrong way what he's doing is perfectly fine and I know some really really big that say they don't see a difference between and regular kosher after doing a serious investigation on the two now again R MOS he says it's allowed to eat to drink non dairy but again he's not saying it all the time he's just saying it simply that if you have no access or it's difficult to access then surely you could rely on the leniency of getting regular kosher milk but if have a uh easy access to certainly you should try to do to use but if somebody's difficult or or simply stubborn and they're they're bent on having Just Kosher that's fine too that's fine too don't give them a headache over it this is not the place to uh uh this is not the place to argue on it meaning couple should never argue over this stuff uh next question Judah is asking hi Rabbi I heard for a long time one has 18 minutes after candle lighting on Shabbat and yov to still be allowed to do any of the 39 or is it only in emergency situations that one can use the 18 minutes uh well it's a good question it actually depends on where you are in the world uh because the uh the way that they do the clock here in America is different than the way they do it in Israel uh they don't have the that grace period in Israel like they do in America uh like the publicized time in Israel is uh more precise to the actual Shabbat time whereas in America they have that approximate uh 18 minutes now a person should know that even if they have 18 minutes when they lit the candles if they accepted the Shabbat in their mind when they lit the candles that Shabbat came in there even if you accepted the Shabbat let's say an hour before Shabbat let's say you say you know what I'm going to take on the uh uh added stringency on myself I want to accept Shabbat an extra hour early okay now you light those candles you accept Shabbat an extra hour early let's say 5 minutes after you lit the candles uh you realize that uh I don't know you forgot to turn on the stove you forgot to uh whatever you forgot to put something on you can't turn it on even though Shabbat hasn't started for everybody else and it's not going to starve for anybody else for another hour you accepted it at that time now you're allowed to tell somebody that hasn't accepted the Shabbat yet to turn something on or off for you but you yourself are not allowed to do it because your Shabbat already began the same concept with the 18 minutes if you and your wife accepted Shabbat at that time Shabbat began for you if you didn't then you have that uh that leniency that uh that room uh to do so to use those 18 minutes to do different things I would highly recommend uh for people to start preparing for Shabbat uh you know as far as you know close up shop don't work anymore no computer anymore 2 hours before Shabbat uh begins uh so that way you have enough time to do all the last minute stuff get uh get dressed do everything and not leave everything for the last half hour or hour like many people do because once you get accustomed to using that last 18 minutes uh every week it's very very easy for you to start becoming accustomed to violating Shabbat also uh so it's ideal a person should not use those 18 minutes on a regular basis uh says that uh upon waking up in the morning if one needs to relieve itself and can't wait 72 minutes says that one should go to the bathroom first and then wash your hands afterwards this is also Ra's personal custom but usually everyone says to have water right next next to the bed and was immediately upon waking up uh explained well you explain to yourself if the person has to go immediately if if a person has either a weak bladder or uh whatever the cases they have to go they can't they can't have time they don't have time to wash their hands even if the the uh uh the the cups and everything is right next to his bed but he or she has to go go go go right away and relieve yourself but if you can wait then wash your hands and then go you don't uh uh uh put your uh body in danger for the sake of uh washing your hands if you can wait uh which most people do uh can wait especially younger people that are healthy uh then wait until we wash your hands but if you simply can't wait uh then uh then definitely go this is uh something that uh most people are going to have uh to not wait uh you know at some point in their life you know either because of you drank too much before you went to sleep or whatever the cas is uh so you're not always going to be able to be picture perfect like a robot and uh you know and wake up and wash your hands you know and then slowly but surely get to the bathroom all purified and everything it doesn't work that way sometimes you have to fly to the bathroom fly to the bathroom and uh you know and take care of your business there and that's not a problem at all what you shouldn't do if you don't one thing you should take into account is that if you have not washed your hands before going to the bathroom then you should try to make sure not to touch your face don't touch your face don't touch your eyes don't touch your mouth uh you know with your hands don't touch anybody else uh before you wash your hands you know that's uh that's uh you know that's a you should try but obviously to clean yourself to uh relieve yourself and all that stuff it's fine no problem should a Torah observant Jew call Ishmael change his name no Shalom no why why should Jew called Ishmael change his name first of all Ishmael is a uh is a name that means that God heard you that's what Ishmael means God hears you uh number one number two we have some of the greatest sages uh mentioned in our in our is is was a uh was one of the holiest men that ever lived uh so much so the says in that God asked him for a blessing so so I mean this is a unique M very uh interesting explanation on it but the point being is Ishmael is a uh is not a problem at all to have if a Jew has it unfortunately it's become more common for Arabs to have uh the name Ishmael today than Jews do but if a Jew already has the name Ishmael they should not change it no there's no reason for them to change it they should actually learn about the righteous people that are called is and that's what they should do is one allowed to give with commentary to a Gentile uh let them get it for themselves why do you need to give it to them um please explain chatz what types of clothing must be checked ah it's a very good question so I actually have on my website uh a uh this is actually good for both in regards to the issues of chatz this is something that's good for both Jews and Gentiles to hear and yes I said correctly Jews and gentiles because shatz is under the umbrella umbrella of what's called Kim Kim and this is the prohibition of mixing uh two different uh species of things now the uh both the Jews and the Gentiles are prohibited prohibited not allowed to combine two species of animals uh so uh you know what they do the the the the breeding that people do with different uh species is forbidden for Jews and it's also forbidden for Gentiles according to the noahide laws has a whole section maybe 10im about it of the all the different details of the noahide laws and uh one of the issues is K so it's forbidden for Gentiles and Jews to breed two species together like a dog and a cat or or things like that also it's forbidden for Gentiles to combine the uh trees different trees let's I don't know a pine tree and apple tree not allowed to combine different uh trees uh which again is something that's standard in the world today now once it was already combined by somebody you're allowed to benefit from it but to combine it yourself is a Torah violation Torah violation both for the Jew and a gentile the Jews according to the have an additional prohibition which is shes which is wool and linen being sewed in together sewed in together now on my website uh in the uh section uh somewhere there for free education where there's books if you scroll enough down there's a file uh that talks about shot net and different chatz uh uh clinics which are places where there are people that are professional uh that check your uh clothes and suits and whatever you bring them for shates and even also show you you what typically has shot NZ and what doesn't uh so if you know suits always have to be checked suits always have to be checked there are also certain types of boots that were discovered to always have shot NES that's not removable like for example Uggs Uggs the boots that you know my opinion are really ugly but I know some people like them they are uh a few years ago I remember there was a big thing about it that women found out that this thing has Shotz it's not removable you can't fix it like a suit if it has Shotz n out of 10 times you could remove the Shotz and replace it with something that you're allowed to have because the Shotz usually is in the collar and different parts of the Sho the suit not the entire suit uh so Shotz you need to check in uh you know in blanket sometimes it depends what your blanket is made out of it depends uh what your clothing is made out of but certainly there are certain things that are more prone to have Shotz and Shotz is a is a Biblical obligation it's not a uh rabinal so much so that the says that if you know that there's another Jew that is walking around with chatz for sure everybody knows he knows he has chatz on you know he has chatz and he's walking around the street with chatz you are allowed to rip it off of him even if he's going to end up being naked rip it off of him in the middle of the street why because him walking around with a Biblical violation is cons consider desecration of God's name so it's better that he gets embarrassed for being naked than than hashem's name being uh being desecrated uh so it's a shess is a very big deal uh guys always need to check your suits as far as the rest of your clothing it depends what you wear if you wear you know sweatpants sweatshirts things like that then that's usually not something that has a problem if you have uh you know silk products that's not a problem that's not an issue but if you have things that have wool in them uh then certainly you should have them checked uh you know you certainly have to get checked and whatever you have has to be checked regard if you wear it you have to uh you put it around your body you have to check it uh my cousin told me that she went to purchase mesot at a judica store in Upstate New York they asked her if she wants to purchase a kosher or God forbid a non- kosher muuza this doesn't make sense can she report this store to Rabbi Authority yes she can report this store uh but they're not going to do anything because Judea stores many times are owned by either Gentiles or by uh nonreligious Jews it's purely a business it has nothing to do with Judaism they just simply capitalize on a need in the market by buying products that uh Jews would need whether that's a uh muuza uh uh a uh cases or or uh different uh things for the candles they just they're simply stores they're Merchant it has nothing to do with Judaism unless you see the store owner uh that's there has a keep on is an orthodox Jew don't assume anything about his uh his his products never buy a muuza orine from a judica store unless you know that the owner that's running the store not just owner that's behind the scenes the owner that's running the store is a Jew has fear of Heaven and he's only going to have kosher stuff but if you don't know you don't buy M andin from judica stores because many times they're uh their stuff is a uh is is not only not Kosher it's a uh it's fake like I've seen people literally get a muuza and then you know they asked me to check it I open the muuza it's printer paper printer paper that somebody literally typed on a computer and put it on a printer and they put this piece of paper in there it's it's worthless you throw it in the garbage uh you know sometimes you literally I've seen one time there was newspaper in there you know so these are things that people don't realize because people put a lot of weight on the case on the case itself and the case is uh no different than uh your suit or your uh or your shoes it's just the case it's just shoes it doesn't represent the Holiness the Holiness is what's inside what's inside if she wants to buy a kosher muuza she has to go to a kosher person and a kosher person would never offer something that the Torah forbids something that's not Kosher uh you know righteous Jew will never offer you anything that's not Kosher so certainly she should not buy anything from them anything at all uh that's one two uh it's a uh she could report them to the reic authority but don't put too much weight on it and expect him to do anything most likely they're not going to do anything about it because they'll look at it just as a private business maybe they'll warn the community but most likely not uh and three if she wants to get a kosher mza she go on our website.org we have two different types of M with different types of casings all of our M come from is from people that I know personally that are that are serious Torah Scholars some more than others there's one that writes are but they're much more expensive and there's other that write and the point is that they uh they're they're available they're not going to be $50 like you can buy at a Jude store they're more expensive but you know what you're getting uh I'm sure that there's other people that could sell you stuff for cheaper that's also kosher but uh for me uh you know I I know what uh I want to have in my house I know my my dear wife God bless her she's very very stringent when it comes to mot very stringent I've never seen anybody anybody like her God bless her uh so it's uh it's it's if she could put a mizza on my forehead she'd put you know she she she wants the best mizza that exists in the world and uh she would have nothing less why she knows this is this is protection this is a this is in the Torah this is big deal big deal there's endless amount of stories that we have throughout all of the generations about the significant protection uh uh that mu brings to a person's life and even more so the significant damage that a person can have if their muuza is not okay uh there is a uh quite a few stories uh that I've told over the years and I'm sure many other rabbis have told over the years about literally people being ill people not having the ability to give birth uh to have children people not finding their Z people having uh strange things happen to them and uh many many times they uh somebody would tell them along the way check your M they would find a mistake in the mza and they would have to replace it and literally the second day replaced it everything was fixed sometimes you would see miracles in front of your face Gman you know the MD he uh he said a story in his SE in his personal uh life story an extraordinary book highly recommended for anyone to read he he says that one of the Miracles that he witnessed in his own eyes is his own daughter had a uh literally an incurable undiagnosable eye infection that was destroying her face for a very very long time she was suffering and it was a real big nightmare and uh and she suffered with this thing she went to many many doctors no one could even diagnose what she had why why it's so bad no one understood one day he went to the laabi I love Shalom and told him check theza uh and he immediately called his wife to check the mizza on her on the room that his daughter sleeps in and the uh the daughter is not in Israel he called Israel the daughter is with him in America he went to see theab in America so the daughter is with Gman in America but the mom picked up the phone in Israel checked her room took the mizza gave it to one of the rabbis over there to check they said there's a there's a mistake in in the mizza what the ink on the word eyes uh is uh you know is broken or it's combined two letters bottom line is you have to change the muza they changed the muza in Israel right there and then literally took I don't know maybe a half hour the girl has been sick for like two three years they changed the muuza within 24 hours within 24 hours this illness was almost gone the doctor that saw her couldn't believe it nobody so people have no idea don't willing people I did a she one time about M people are willing to spend a million dollars on a house but they're uh cheap to spend a few thousand on M it's the dumbest thing in the world no problem spending half a million dollars in a house a million doll in a house $2 million in a house $50,000 on window shades uh 20 000 on carpets chandeliers 5 10 15 $20,000 M let me get whatever is the cheapest let me get uh 20 of them for $5 $50 each I'll pay maximum you know it's they'll spend $300 on a case but they're not willing to spend $30 on a on a scroll so that's the problem that's why a lot of people have issues and there was actually a study done in uh in New York maybe two three years ago by a group of that took uh a bunch of M from different people random people brought it to a lab these people said they bought some from Judea stores from this from that different places random people don't know each other brought in their M some shipped them they checked I think it was something like 85 90% of the M that they checked were Pur and they show you exactly why it's pul it's not like they're just making it up they show you 80 90% of the M the people they have were not valid M and the rambam writes that a person that misuses a mza turns the mza from a blessing into a curse so for example if a person takes a muza and makes it like a chain puts it on on a chain that's not a blessing anymore that's a curse he takes them he puts it under his pillow he just turned that mza into a curse there's actually a famous R in is that uh somebody fooled his father to uh to put the mza under his pillow so he can get uh his health back he died short while later after he uh after he died this same R who was a very big just didn't know about mot apparently or this particular issue about mot uh found out what his father did he asked some real meal the real meal told him what are you talking about that's your father just killed himself with that whoever told him that killed them now do stuff like now to put your mza under pillow not it's disrespecting the mza says the thing there are certain things you're allowed to do with a mza certain things you're not allowed to do with a m point being is m is big deal big deal big deal uh and a person that uh you know that uh you know tries to uh uh uh you know save dollar save money on it or or or things like that or spends more money on the case than they do on M unfortunately many times they're going to regret it either because it's not going to give them the blessing that they want or the protection that they want or worse uh David is asking there are noes who told me that they are studying Mish even though they're not converting because the rabbis they're following allow them is this really owed for the noahides to study uh no the those those noahides that are studying Mish every word that they're reading in the mishna is death penalty death penalty from sh don't be surprised if a bunch of them get uh all types of diseases cancer and and the like and they start dropping dead and this is not for the point of scaring this for the point of of of warning them warning them from learning the oral toah which they're not allowed and also warning them from listening to those rabbis that changed the tah that change the to I told them they're allowed not allowed to learn oral tah uh you want to learn the oral you have to convert uh my mother is your color and hair just like yours uh let see are there Sandia Jews I'm sorry I don't know what a Sandia Jew is uh it's possible I I don't know I don't know is a non-jew that said that uh they were a levy when went up to the Torah for Shabbat is that person cursed can they do Chua certainly they're cursed because caused a bunch of Jews to uh uh to say a name aem's name in vain they to say Amen in vain uh so certainly they got cursed certainly they're going to get punished for it and uh yes they can do Chua but uh they're going to suffer for this the only way they complete the Chua completely is if they convert uh but if they don't convert then you know they'll have to suffer for it Robin we need this series back on uh you broadcast with examples why we have we have the uh the era of mashiah series is uh is a um is online we also have a USB for it forgive me are there Saudi Arabian Jews yes yes sure sure sure there was a uh uh there are many many Jews lived in harmony with Arabs uh at different times throughout history I would say that the country that uh we had the most amount of peace with uh most of the time not all the time uh was Morocco Morocco uh is a very very favorable place for Jews throughout history most of the time not all the time there was an evil Sultan uh that uh murdered some Jews and including the Baba sali's older brother uh in front of everyone with a vicious way he took a uh um not a tank those a cannon he took a cannon and shot him with the cannon after he tied him to the tree in front of everybody uh so much so that the uh the babaali was depressed there was over maybe a 20e difference between the babaali and his oldest brother but he was like his you know he's like his Rabbi his father he was like everything to him and the Babas Sadi was depressed over this for like four years uh barely left his room after seeing how his brother being uh being murdered in such a vicious way but it needed to happen for different uh mystical reasons but that was an evil Sultan that was an evil person most of the kings of uh of uh uh of Morocco throughout history including the one of today are very very uh favorable to Jews they even have a history of this particular King's father I believe defended the Jews against Hitler when Hitler wanted to come and murder all the Jews of Morocco the the king of Morocco said on my own on my own body you want to fight the Jews you have to fight me first hamash was a hero he certainly has a share of the world to come just for simply that statement alone and he did many many good things for them and and the uh the uh uh the Jews uh have a very favorable treatment uh in Morocco actually have a couple students that are in Morocco um uh but uh not enough we need more but Morocco was very favorable for the Jews or you know throughout history uh they also you have in Libya in uh in Tripoli uh Libya Tripoli same thing uh you had then um uh in Egypt uh in Iran uh in uh Baghdad you know there there's Jews uh Jews from uh Lebanon all all over all over the Middle East Jews have lived at some point or another uh a lot of that changed in 1948 when modern day Israel uh became a state uh because once they became a state many of the Arab countries uh you know in essence uh turned us into enemies and uh there's a lot of problems after that for example the uh the Syrian Jews that lived in Syria for many generations and had a lot of uh uh had you know peace and Harmony in a very big and successful community many of them uh you know lost uh everything after the uh after that time because the uh and even before it uh when the uh you know pretty much they they they were viewed as enemies they were viewed like as if they were spies even though they've lived in Syria in harmony for so many generations the Arabs flipped on them in a second and started uh burning there are synagogues and houses it was a nightmare uh so but nonetheless there is a uh uh there is a very very big history there many uh lived throughout the Middle East in Turkey in Morocco uh in Baghdad in uh uh you know Tripoli uh there's many many throughout all the generations uh that live throughout the Middle East but also there's that's the sapharic Jews uh that of course also lived in Spain at some point but uh then you have uh the ashkanazi Jews that live throughout all of Europe you know Poland uh different parts of Russia uh and so on so yeah there are Jews practically everywhere and Hashem specifically did that thear says for multiple reasons uh one reason why Hashem spread out the Jews throughout all four corners of the world where you're literally going to find Jews everywhere in the world even though we're very few people you're going to find us all over the world more than any other uh people or Nation uh specifically because it's part of the ultimate purpose of the world number one it's in order for us to help people that want to convert to Judaism convert when you have communities in different remote areas and different places around the world more people can convert at the end of days before mashia comes because this is the last stage this is the last uh uh stop on the train uh so more people going to be able to convert and two there is a different Sparks of Kusa that are uh dispersed throughout all parts of the world that uh we need to collect don't ask me what I mean this is much too deep for this type of shi but the point is there's different Sparks of Kusha that are different parts of the world that the Jews that are holy can gather it uh by being in that place by being in that place and that's part of the tun of the world so that's another reason why there are Jews in every part of the world throughout history including today one or two more questions and then we're done we've already for two hours uh what is the significance of getting his name change since was involved in seeing his father's nakedness what is the reason for this and is it related at all I have no idea how doing what he did to his fathers related to abam they lived in two different time frames uh but aam uh his name changed it says it in the verses God added a letter to his name uh and that letter was K from God's name so in essence God took the uh Hey from his name his name is the ud hey and then the and a so he took one of the letters of his name and put it into Abraham's name and he did the same thing with Sarah so in essence he Sanctified them they became his his his chosen uh children and that was the beginning of so that was the uh uh significance of changing the name now as far as uh being involved in seeing his father's nakedness some say it really wasn't it was actually son Canan that uh he received the curse and the reason why is because Kanan raped Noah Canan raped Noah he didn't just see his nakedness that's just the modesty of the uh of the Torah the way he talks he actually raped Noah and some say that he uh um cut off his uh his uh uh um reprodu Ive area because he did not did not want to have another brother that he would have to share his inheritance with he already know that he has Shem andem and ye to share the inheritance with he didn't want uh and no one was allowed to have children in the T for that year so after he saw that the only thing that's in the world is what they have he didn't want to have another brother born now that they're allowed to be intimate again that Noah's father is allowed to be intimate again he did not want uh his father to have another kid that he would have to share his inheritance with him so he ended up uh doing this uh but for that he got cursed that he got cursed um my cousin lives in a non-jewish area and she is afraid of putting up a muuza on a doorpost can she put it on the wall inside the house across from the doorpost uh if it's on a doorpost then it's okay but if it's on a wall no you can't put it on the wall just has to put it in the doorpost uh but why would she be scared of putting uh you know God's name on our doors it's it's that's protection if anything she should be afraid that she doesn't have a mza the mza is what brings the protection not the plastic piece and not the gun and not the police the mza is what brings the protection she is should be proud that she's a Jew and even more so most people don't even know what it is most people think it's uh some security device they have no concept so she shouldn't be afraid for that reason either and certainly she should leave that area if she lives in such a bad area that she's afraid to be Jewish she should leave uh well a pregnant woman wakes up Before Dawn to snack up on something but goes back to sleep must she say again uh if she wakes up uh and she wants to eat something uh she has to she doesn't have to do all the usually it's a uh if she's just going to be up for moments she doesn't have to do just wash her hands uh and then do the blessing on whatever she's eating uh but if she's waking up for the day then she needs to is when you wake up for the day um and you only do it once if you I'll just add if you fall asleep for an extended period of time during the day but you've already done some say that you should say the blessings of the which is the last three blessings the blessings of the T again but not the rest of the that you only do on a day Becca thank you for the if a non-jewish trying to convert but is not yet in a formal conversion process are you allowed to host them for Shabbat staying the night to observe the entire Shabbat um why they not it depends depends why they're not in a conversion process depends why they're not in a conversion process um generally speaking it's it's it's a Jews need to understand that to take on a convert as a regular guest in your house is a very very big responsibility and can also be a big problem uh so I generally would not recommend it I would not recommend it as much as I love converts and I help converts on a regular basis uh it's again so long as they're not Jewish uh it's it's it can be problematic both for you and for them uh both for you and for them number one for you if they're not really serious about conversion but you know they just act like it then they could still have some of the uh you know uh Tendencies and and misbehaviors of uh of the way they were brought up that could be certainly very problematic for a Jew uh that's number one number number two uh it's it's a bad for them because if they become a regular house guest in a Jewish house before they even started the conversion process they could fall into that trap that I mentioned in my sh about conversion the dangerous lives of of uh of conversion which is they start feeling too Jewish to the point where they start losing the desire to actually convert because they already start feeling and acting and looking like a Jew which is a uh spiritual cancer that's very common today uh in the in the conversion World many people change their uh clothing and look so much and they uh befriend a lot of Jews to the point where they forget they're not Jewish and the community forgets that they're not Jewish and many times their conversions either don't take place at all or they just take an obnoxious amount of time more than it necessary because they don't have that urgency so my recommendation is don't host them until they become Jewish if you want to host them once in a blue moon you can but not not as a regular guest every Shabbat absolutely not absolutely not also as a side note for all of you married couple do not host singles in your house like if you have let's say wife and uh you know two three kids and you have let's say uh some young men uh uh needless to say some young woman that want to invite to your house uh invite them during the when your husband or or or wife is not there like if it's a young man obviously the husband you know invite the young man to the house in the middle of the week to have coffee with him or something and talk to him during the week don't invite a young man or a young woman that's single to your house by themselves to sleep over that's just simply stupid stupid for marriage stupid for everything you know it's a people I don't know for whatever reason people you know become hotels for a lot of young people and then they're surprised that their adultery is running rampant so it's a uh you know if if if you have a even if it's your sister or your brother generally speaking single people you know it's by themselves should not come to should not stay over your house you want to invite them invite them during the week they go home after you finish they don't stay at your house sleep over it's not healthy for a marriage uh your your husband is still a man your wife is still a woman yet is still the yet yours yet their yet the guest everybody has don't tempt anybody to do something stupid even if you think it's as far from you as can possibly be trust me I tell you the stories I don't want to tell you of what I've uh dealt with with people and Nightmares that they've put onto their lives so it's a uh trust me when I tell you single people they're nice you want to host them host them during a week uh you know one onone go take them for a coffee shop bring him to the office whatever you want to do if as long as it's the same gender and everything that's not a problem if you have a whole a group of people and they're just you know there's let's say two three couples that are coming over and there's one person that's single that's among everybody else okay but uh this like inviting this one single person to a house doesn't matter if he's Jewish or if he's not Jewish doesn't even make a difference if he's uh you think he's holy it's not it's not a good good idea not a good idea uh unless you have a completely separate house for that person it's different story but even then it's uh you have to be careful uh I never understood why didn't just just tell a husband that their son was a rash or did still not believe her um why didn't she tell him that he's a rash listen it's a uh if you if you live in a house that uh you know that has you know a bunch of kids in it you know that parents number one uh you know have different relationships with different kids you know some of them they are closer to some of them they're more friendly with some of them they're uh you know more Stern with they're more strict with some they're disconnected from and some of them they favor they favor them that's like the baby the baby could be 49 years old but he's still a baby in his mom's eyes and she's still like literally treating him like as if he can't eat for himself and she gives him the food and the plate and and the spoon and the cup and please eat as if he doesn't know how to eat by himself you know you know some some others are like that with their kids you know it happens so it's a uh the same thing with the father so the point is that when it comes to Parenting and and and uh it's always easier to uh be uh someone from the sideline saying oh you should have done this you should have done that but when you're in the uh the situation it's very different you you know it's a the perspective how uh saw him certainly knew that his his son uh wasn't uh you know the the most righteous person in the world uh but uh the magnitude of how Wicked he was I don't think he knew that either but I do think that that kept him closer because he knew that if he wasn't closer to him he would get worse uh he would get worse and he did get worse later on but the point is is that it's a uh um you know as far as the mother the mother could sometimes tell her the father even today the mother can tell the father listen I can't stand her I can't stand him I can't stand this and the father will just you know care less about what the mom says why because he has his own relationship with that uh child and the same thing vice versa the father wants to punch the kid in the face because of how annoying he is or how he just did something really bad and to the mom this kid is an angel if you lay a finger on one of his hair she'll rip you into pieces turn you into Shabbat food yeah but he just did this this this and this you don't touch my son he's a part of my body yeah but he just did this this this and this doesn't make a difference he didn't do it he didn't mean it what do you mean he even wrote me a note that he did it on purpose no no it wasn't him no he said it was him he put a social security number on it how do you know it's him you see it ah you didn't see it see it's not him the mom will make 500 million excuses for that son so parenting is uh it looks easier from from the sidelines I remember when I was uh younger stupider and uh without kids I was the best parent in the world in my mind best parent in the world in my mind oh I would say to people I could it be my kids when they grow up they're going to be like soldiers they're going to see yes sir and yes this and yes that in your mind everybody's the best in our minds everybody's the best uh in okay last one we'll take this let me see I see somebody haven oh there's only two questions left okay let's do it all right is asking how can we know we have successfully done a tun for a certain thing does the desire does desire for that specific sin ever go away or desire will always exist ah so it depends what if a person made a big sin and uh you know they have a desire for that sin whether it's uh whatever it is uh and they start doing a tun for it whether it's tun with money tun with prayer with learning with combination thereof how do they know if their chuva is accepted number one most of the time they're not going to know because it sometimes takes more effort than you can imagine or different parts of it but the the way that's a a clear indication is when the desire the desire for that specific sin is a uh is gone uh so uh you know if they have let's say for example they used to uh I don't know eat something non kosher and they used to love this non kosher food and uh now they stopped doing it it's hard for them but they stopped it and they don't even go to the restaurant anymore and then one day Hashem sends them a test by uh having somebody bring that food to their house and they have all the opportunity in the world to eat it again but they don't do it they throw it in the garbage and they pass a test within a short period of time after that you'll see that they have you know they won't even have the desire anymore they'll look at that food sometimes even get to the point where they find it disgusting so to to get to that point that means that they've completed their tun on it but there are certain things that even if you completed your tun on that issue you're still going to have the desire uh so for example issues of morality issues of of of intimacy uh the sexual desire of a person if they're healthy it doesn't go away it doesn't go away in fact says that at the time of the uh uh destruction uh the uh the in the bet mikdash the sages pray to Hashem uh to remove the uh the desire that people have for idol worship there was a lot of idolatry at the time and they prayed to Hashem please we we can't handle this idolatry please remove it and the says that after they saned all prayed was was part of them were were neim were prophets like Zaria uh the uh as they're praying and they did fasting for several days uh some say they fasted for 3 days after they saw it's accepted some say they fasted for 3 days before either way after uh uh this uh this session that the entire sanad had uh a fire in the image of a lion came out of The KES K now you would think oh that's pretty cool that's like uh something really really good that's probably like a good Angel Zacharia the prophet says no no no that was the of idolatry that's how he looks like that was the idolatry so they figured since the said okay since it's an auspicious time it's an auspicious time to uh uh to remove these yet from the world let's also move the for immorality you know people are committing adultery they're going with you know the Jews and assimilation let's pray for that too to remove the of a uh of immorality and they wrote a note I'm sorry and they started praying and and a uh note came from sh and said the word emit emit is means truth that's a signature of God means that their prayer was accepted and they have a choice to decide so whether they really want it or not uh of course you need prophecy to understand all this stuff either way the uhar says okay so they uh they want to see how it's going to be without this immorality and uh they waited uh 3 days and then they went into the market and they couldn't find a single egg a chicken egg why because the immorality is necessary in the world there's a certain amount of uh sexual desire that is necessary for the world to function now certainly you're supposed to use things for the right reasons between man and his wife and so on like we talk about in our series but there are certain parts of it that are necessary for them to remain animalistic which is for the animals but you can't just you remove it for you and for this and ACC customade because hasem doesn't give partial blessing doesn't give it's either the whole thing or nothing so after that they realize that they cannot remove the uh the uh the yet the evil inclination of morality and the wealth came back to what it was and uh Unfortunately today we're very very close if not identical to Sodom and Gomorrah in some parts of the world but shim will help people do chat and stop acting the way they are uh we're from Texas but my mother didn't want to tell us about her father uh as for me please forgive me as an American for disrespecting your
