Motivation, LOTTERY, Gravesites, MOVIE PRAYER, Tzadikim, UFO's, Honor Parents - STUMPTHE RABBI (94)

we are back on our Wednesday night program stump the rabbi where we uh after a little bit of you guys will ask some questions will give us the answers tonight sh will be for for Masia and also for Leana raan anal davidor and for gab Joshua Ben Noah Alex Ben Noah nanel ysep Ben Noah Ben sha Ben faran Mara Julie Mara Samuel B Mara Seas B Mara Alexander Ben Mara and all of am especially the ones that are helping us watching our sh supporting them in every way they possibly can all of the wonderful noahides that are supporting and watching the sh and learning and progressing and getting better and simply doing the best they possibly can to get closer to uh this week's it's a uh most common that people talk about the famous SE the famous uh story it's being told inside the par where theim the leaders of Amel are sent to scout the land and of course they miss interpret the message from Hashem where they see Giants in the land where uh there these Giants are the descendants of the Nephilim and the anakim the bigger Giants that came before them uh but yet they're still so big that uh they they say that we look like grasshoppers uh next to them uh so we see here that uh uh perhaps maybe science hasn't uh uh gotten to this point of realizing they used to be not just big animals but also very big people uh that lived in the past but nonetheless these big people were uh attending the uh funeral of the sadik of the land which was the job the prophet job and um Hashem specifically did it that way so they don't know and don't pay attention to the uh the leaders of am that came to scout the land now uh at one point one of the anakim uh actually sees the mid Raba says the one of the anim sees the uh uh the people and screams at them and uh from the scream they uh lost Consciousness and then the midash says that over there they used mouth to mouth to uh regain Consciousness and uh here showing us that the whole issue of CPR and mouth to mouth and all of these different things that we have and have become very popular today are already known from over 3,000 years ago but these uh these 12 leaders come to you know to mosenu and to the rest of the people instead of talking to mosenu privately and telling them about their concerns telling them about their worries about how these Giants are there they in essence try to make a name for themselves by uh bad mouthing the land badmouthing mosenu bad mouthing Hashem saying that even hasem cannot take down these Giants and of course Hashem punishes them and all of the people that follow their advice uh severely uh where uh none of the people that lived in that generation with the exception of K bet Yeshua and a few others Yeshua Ben uh a um and and a few others sikim are not allowed to enter the land not allowed to enter the land of of Israel they have to die in a desert and uh every year there's on you know on a uh there everybody has to dig a uh a burial uh uh setting for themselves sleep inside the uh this uh uh this hole and uh you know in essence save the people uh the time if they are the ones that are chosen to die that year uh with ception of the uh for 40 years this goes on uh and uh with the exception of the 40 the generation that lived to the 40th year uh the Hashem had mercy on them and allowed them to enter the land so we see that there was a decent amount of people that did enter the land but the vast majority were not allowed to enter the land and this is one of the main teachings where you'll hear often of how this follows the uh last week's par where the prophetes makes a mistake and says about andem punishes her and then right here the uh the spies say about the land about hasem about mosenu and Hashem punishes them severely despies uh 10 of them uh die a awful horrendous death uh where their tongue gets uh uh uh connected to their umbilical cord and they die a very slow and horrific death a very atrocious punishments of all of those people that uh believe in the uh uh the the guy that doesn't care about anything uh you should read the commentary of what what happened during this par but a lot of people uh perhaps uh don't hear the other part the other major story that happened during this par which is the the uh the section at the end where right before we learn about the of the the very section uh that we read in our every day this where every Jew that wears AIT uh you know will Merit to have 2800 righteous Noah hides as their students and servants when the mhia comes uh and to operate his his his life and the the in essence the uh the world around him in in exchange for him teaching them T so this mitvah is a very big deal non-jews are not allowed to wear uh because it create confusion it's not their Mitzvah uh similar to shabbat non-jews are not allowed to keep Shabbat even though for whatever reason or another uh some people think that uh just because they like the they could keep Shabbat this is incorrect but nonetheless before all of this before we the mitvah of There's A short segment that talks about the uh the tree gatherer and thear says his name wasad he had uh three daughters who were very smart women that uh ended up uh coming to mosenu later on in the Torah and getting The Inheritance uh you know of of the land that their father was supposed to get since there was no boys in the family but what happened toad it says that was a say was a righteous person was a righteous person he was not a wicked person like the blasphemer but nonetheless it says that in chapter 15 verse number 12 that uh verse number 32 the children of Israel were in the wilderness and they found a man Gathering wood on the Shabbat those who found them Gathering wood brought him to mosenu and Aon and to the entire assembly they placed him in custody meaning they arrested him put him in jail uh for it had not been clarified what would be done with him Hashem said to Moshe the men shall be put to death the entire assembly shall Pelt him with stones outside of the camp the entire assembly removed him to the outside of the camp they pelted them with stones and he died as hem had commanded Moshe that's it that's the whole section where you see the first official death penalty for Shabbat for the desecration of Shabbat and uh you see actually AEM Act uh pretty quickly not really giving much of a benefit of the doubt not giving him any type of uh room for error any opportunity to do chuva rather he's caught Gathering trees only a week after we received the Torah at Mount sa meaning that Hashem expected all of am Isel to comply with the entire t right away he didn't uh give them a uh oh listen why don't you guys study the tah for 3,300 years and then you know maybe you'll keep it then right away you just got the toah a week ago I expect you to keep all of it and anyone who did not got punished severely based on the torah's uh punishment andad violated Shabbat and got a death penalty here we see that AEM is not kidding when he says that it's a death penalty he wasn't joking but there's obviously quite a bit of a difference where today you see many people unfortunately driving on Shabbat even to their synagogues and uh doing all types of desecration of Shabbat and they don't die the guy turns on the car and he doesn't explode but yet you know there is a the Torah doesn't change one of our 13 principles of change is that same Torah we got at Mount sa is what we have today and it will never change so how could that be well thear specifically says that since we do not have anymore M was the first official uh Judicial Court of the sanedrin since we don't have the sanedrin that can Institute the law of death penalties and otherwise Hashem took it on himself Hashem took it on himself to in you know deliver the punishment on his own timing so if you see somebody falling out of a building a plane crash car crash uh anything like that you know this is a stoning death penalty you see somebody burning you see that this is a fire death penalty and so on and so forth someone drowning this is a choking a uh death penalty all different all four different types of death penalties that are instituted in the tah are still AB appable and utilized in the world today just differently and they're utilized by hasem we ourselves are not allowed to kill anyone uh unless that person comes to kill us but the question is is there any other time that hasem punished right away as he did here in this Paras multiple times first you see despise coming and lying lying about is lying about lying about mosu and hasem punishes them severely then he punishes the rest of the people severely not only not allowing any of them and swearing on his name that he won't allow them into the land but also uh when they try to uh uh do Chua in a unwelcomed way in a way that they decided is the right way to do chuva where they decided they're going to go into the land anyway they wanted to accept it they didn't want to check they didn't want to doubt AEM anymore even though they already that that ship has already sailed hasem sent theim and theim to beat them up so you see here that uh they got multiple punishments right away is this again the only times that hasm punished right away no there are other times that Hashem punished right away and there are other times even today that hasem punishes right away different things one of the things I remember reading in AAL when we were learning the subject of and G and so on is that one of the things that hm does punishes right away is for the issues of uh there's always some type of major damage that happens to a person as soon as they're uh they waste seed or they're immoral typically it has to do with loss of money or or or career opportunities or Z or or other things but n less uh there are much obviously harsher punishments waiting for such a person if they don't do chuba but where are there other times that did the same thing let's see the in a talks about the story of wasik that realized that her father par was a liar was uh a dictator that was killing Jewish people on a regular basis and also telling his own people that he is God and butya his daughter realized that he is a liar he's a uh Faker he told people that he doesn't go to the bathroom that's why there's no uh uh uh place to go to the bathroom inside his Palace but he instituted law to uh that no one is allowed to go out at night because that would be the time that he would go into the Nile River and relieve himself and that's also why hasem to create further embarrassment and mocking of par and idolatry he would specifically send mhu to go meet par while he was going to the bathroom in our River to show him that we know what you're up to you liar you filthy liar now this B page 12b says that she identified that her father is a liar and she came down to the river to wash herself from her father's idolatry and she brought with her some of our helpers some of our helpers says that this walking that is being quoted in the tah that these women were doing is not referring to just simply walking the reason why it says they're walking why because they're walking towards their death why walking towards their death She's why is she walking towards their death because when she came down to the river at that very same moment brought mosenu little Moshe in a basket he's over there the savior of am is and baa wants to save the boy she hears the crying she is the crying of someone that sounds more like a teenager and she wants to save the boy and the maid servants her helpers say to her what are you doing you wish to rescue this Jewish boy how could it be in a normal world when there's a king of Flesh and Blood issuing a decree if even if the entire world doesn't observe what the king said at least the children of his house observe it yet here you are violating the decree of your own father by Saving one of the boys that he decreed to kill at that very moment there was no time for baa to respond to them why not why no time because thear says sent the angel Gabriel with his giant hands that he has and T he crushed them all into the ground all of them died on the spot theik was left alone purified believing in one and only God and saves the savior of here we see one other example where did not have any tolerance for further opportunities of sinning and going against his word another time has an amazing story an amazing story where involves the king yanai king yanai was a Jewish King who's from the uh Levy tribe was a Quin and uh but he was suspected by some that uh that his mother was captured in a war and possibly raped by the enemy so some did not agree that he would be a Coen and he was a kalal kalal so it wasn't it was a CO with a defect but anyway this King yanai this King Yi was a powerful King people were scared of him and uh there was a sadik at the time by name of Shimon Ben shatak Shimon Ben shatak was the head of the senad and uh this Shimon bhatan all he saw was AEM didn't see anything else didn't care about nothing else didn't care about anything else at one time one of the slaves of yanai killed somebody so Shimon Ben says to the people go and bring send a message to tell King yanai to come here to the bedin come here to the bedine why cuz your slave is like you he's like part of your he's like your your right hand or your left hand he's your property if he causes damage you have to pay for it tell him he has to come to the bed because his slave killed somebody King yanai hears that the sadik Shimon is calling him to come to the and he comes he obliges once he gets there Shimon B says to him King stand on your feet and they meaning the witnesses who witness the uh murder will testify against you and know that you are not standing before us the judges but rather you're standing before the one who spoke and the world came into being meaning you're standing for the honor of hm you're not standing for my honor but y get embarrassed why he's a king you tell a king to stand you K tell the king to stand really as a note the the the run sadik the Run 800 years ago so writes that Shon shouldn't have said that shouldn't have embarrassed the uh the king that way and tell him to stand he's a king don't tell him like that but let's see what else happens after and I sees that he's being treated as if he's a commoner he has to stand he responds to Shimon B and he says I will not act in accordance with what you say but in accordance to what your colleagues say you I understand you sadik everything else but what what do your friend say over there what is the rest of the San San was like a half the way they were all sitting was like a there was half of them were on one side the other half was on the other side so Shimon looks to his one side to his right to see what the judges what the rabbis the biggest rabbis in the world they're they're s he looks at them no and they all put their head down scared to say to the king to to stand up he looks to the left and the rabbis the biggest rabbis in the world put their head down scared to say anything to the king to stand up or anything Shimon gets Furious to see this where they're scared of a king of Flesh and Blood and not scared of a and what happens he says the following you you men of thought you you you you are the leaders you are you people may the master of thoughts come an exact retribution from you if you you are the uh the wise man among us and this is how you act May the master of all wisdom come and punish you for what you're doing thear says immediately as he completed the sentence a s sent the very same with his giant hands killed all of them one shot the entire bed is killed Shimon B and the King are left the entire bed the whole dies on the spot gets crushed into the ground for this here we see another time that punished on the spot another source in another story with King what is it the page 66a says that uh y went to Kit went to the kit in a desert and he conquered over there 60 cities and when he returned he was exteme extremely happy celebrating and so on so he called the called for the to come celebrate have a have a celebration that the king just conquered 60 cities so the come come but one of these one of these people that came was a person that has more adjectives to describe how Wicked he is than anybody else in who is this person there was a certain person there a scuffer a man of wickedness and Lawless heart and El was his name El he came and it starts all with these people they like to make fun of stuff and says to the king yourness you know that uh the uh hearts of the Pharisees are upon you just like Yos used to say New Testament meaning that their hearts the sages the that you invited they hate you they don't really like you they're not really happy that you just won all these battles and King Genai said to him so what should I do so elazar says why don't you come put the the Coen had a special te with the's name on it put it on your head see how they react they'll tell you what their real opinion is after they see you do that cuz you're a Coen let's see if they accept you as a Coen so and he knew that they're not going to accept him because it was well known that there's an issue here with his mother and so on so y put theen G's seats on his head and there was a sadik that named Yuda Ben gya who says King and I be satisfied with the crown of kingship leave the crown of K for the progeny of AR you're a king you already have a crown why do you need to also have the crown of the coin for what be happy with what you have why should he be happy what he have why can't he have both why is he why is he challenging him because the issue of yan um was captured by ders and mod and it was uh and from there yanai was born after that so they said it's very possible that yanai a uh is problematic either he came as a result of it or perhaps even if it's not a result of it there still there was a rape and she was really forbidden to her husband so he's not a kosher Kain so but this issue was investigated and there was no confirmation this was the case they couldn't confirm that this was the case and comes this elazar to King this rash and he says to him King yanai if an ordinary Jew was treated this way it would be is lot to submit to the dignity but you you are a king and now you're theen and this is what you get that's how they make fun of you and that's how they embarrass you tell you're not a Coen you're not this you're not that so your says okay so what should I do now so far seems like a good guy he doesn't want to do anything bad but this rash keeps Whispering his ear what should I do laar says to him if you want to listen to my advice kill all of them and your ni sayst what will happen with the Torah he says Ah the Torah what is it just a Torah scroll Ines okay whoever wants to come read it can come read it he made yanai forget about the whole concept of oral T because until this point the Mish was not written so in reality all of these they were the oral Tora they were the most important people they were the oral Torah and at that moment thoughts of heretical thoughts entered the mind of yanai to agree with this elazar rash and he passed a decree to kill all of the sages of of of Israel and the world was literally orphaned of until Shimon Ben came and returned Torah to its former standing where he started teaching everyone and developing here we see again is punishing severely very quickly and in two cases Shimon Ben was the only sadik left two cases Shimon was the only sadik left now the question is how come left shim how come he left them even though some disagree with his strategy some disagree with the fact that he already got on the B side of of of uh King yanai so one of the from the past generation the the be Moshe says that although danan says that he disagrees with the strategy of shiman to embarrass the king and Tom to stand up we see here that in sh he still got the help why because even though he told yite to stand up y let's say was was embarrassed and then all of the did not support theik shim but hasem killed all of them he didn't kill he didn't kill shim he left him alive that time and later on again a different time so we see that is on his side and what do we learn from here we learn from here that even if we can't say that the one of the we can't say he's wrong for disagreeing with Shimon bat we can't say he's he's right why because on one hand shim B proven right on other hand it is kind pretty obvious that you shouldn't really tell a king to stand up so you can't say this one is wrong and that one is wrong but here we see one thing for sure one thing we know for sure from this whole story what do we see we see that when a person does something purely for the sake of Heaven purely for the sake of the honor of hem even if he's wrong will help him and support him and everyone else around them that is not doing what they're doing for the sake of Heaven even if they're right Hashem will not support them and sometimes even kill them for it this is an atomic bum for anyone who understands because if a person truly does what he does for the sake of Heaven not for the sake of I think this is the right thing to do for the sake of is for the sake of helping the Jewish people for the sake of honoring the Torah not honoring himself and saying I'm right and everyone El is wrong he is doing this for what for the honor of the Torah he's Prosecuting against yanai the king and tell him to stand to comply with what the rules of the tah is for the sake of showing that the tah applies to everyone whether it's a king or a commor he is sighting with the toah at all times he's not going and wasting his time and helps him so even if you agree with what the said that he shouldn't have done it we still see that hasm helped him anyway which actually is is a bigger thing cuz if it's clear that he was right and hasm helped him it's not you know it's not really that much learning to be made there so where else do we see this where else do we see this we also see this m m is told by go and talk to the stone to the S tell to bring water to is sanctify my name remembers from the past the first time that told him to get water from the Cella from the stone he told him to hit it but that was many years ago and he figures the same thing this time so he comes and he talks to the wrong S talks to the wrong one so obviously he's not going to bring water so he hits the wrong one and water comes out so ask if it's the wrong one why is a making you bring water at the very least make it not bring water so there's no there's no desecration of hm's name or or lack of sanctifying his name if you didn't want this sah to yield water cuz it's the wrong one then why is it bringing water after all say because mosenu was not trying to impress everyone with his powers and how he could do this and how he could do that what did he go to the s for because said it for the sake of he only hit the stone for the sake of and even if even if what you're doing is wrong because you're doing it for the sake of isem will help you hem will help you this is an extraordinary message to anyone that helps the public that helps people learn toah eat uh teach Torah does all types of things for the sake of CL is homeless shelters anything that you do for the cloud for the for the public you're involved in this is one of the most important things that a person can know for that particular purpose because of course the more good you do the more people will come and try to tell you that you're not doing good because they're the messages of the Satan but even more so sometimes you'll have individual issues where you are going and you're doing Chua and you're going and you're doing the right thing but the world around you the people around you that until now or your friends or your family or the people that you're most close to they disagree with you they disagree with you and tell you you're crazy you're crazy you're crazy and perhaps you lose some money and you lose this and you lose that they this and they that here we have a proof from the Torah in multiple places that if you're doing things for the sake of Heaven even if you're wrong will help you needless to say he will help you if you if you're right now is he going to help you in your timing is he going to help you right away like he did with mosenu or like he did with Shimon Ben or like he did with B perhaps maybe perhaps not but nonetheless for sure he will help you for sure he will help you and the help that he will give you will be much better than the help that you could ever imagine by yourself because if you're doing it for the right reason for the sake of Heaven they can call you crazy as much as they want they can call you a fanatic as much as they want you give it some time and you see the blessings start coming and all of those people that made fun of you will come to you and ask you for blessings and I'm not talking about myself although this all happened to me I'm not talking about myself I'm talking about all of you that are watching all of you that are watching and are having a difficult time with your parents or your kids or your neighbors or your colleagues or sometimes even the Arab r that calls himself your Rabbi and all of the people that keep telling you the opposite of what the Torah says you see if you keep going in the way of a today they call you crazy and they call you fanatic and whatever they want to call you give it some sometime every single one of them like little good little kids will come to you and ask you for blessings why because that is one of the blessings altogether that is one of the blessings of the tah itself that teaches us that when wants to show a person that he's happy with his actions he's happy with our actions he'll even send your enemies to come say and are we want peace with you we're sorry for what we did please give us a blessing please show us the way this is for all of those people that are having a tough time with their surroundings all of the different people that are giving you a tough time I promise you you stick with hhm you're never going to lose you're never going to lose of course doesn't mean that it's it's easy nonetheless it's very hard but what happens if a person if a person fails time and time again starts following his actions one of the greatest that I own series of that I own is the series of called the was written by about 800 years ago and he gives a source for every one of the 613 Source in an explanation of it an analysis of it it's a fantastic s for everyone that has already learned all of the other Basics but he teaches things that are pure genius about every single Mitzvah we've learned a little bit together about the mitvah of rebuke from him we've learned the Mitzvah of not allowed to be a Prohibition of Revenge we've learned a little bit about him now you would think to learn some from the mitvah of the prohibition of breaking a bone of the PES offering to learn M from that it's not possible what can I possibly learn from the mitvah of the prohibition of breaking the bones of the PES offering you have to bring an offering in PES today it's not applicable because we don't have the bet mikdash but when we had the bet mikash we had P offering this is still valid we just can't practice it because we have no mdash so it's unold until the mdash is rebuild soon but nonetheless also didn't see the but yet he taught this lesson what does he say we have this mitzvah that comes from the book of Exodus 12:46 that says in one house shall it be eaten you shall not remove any of the meat from the house outside and you shall not break a bone in it here we're commanded not to break the bones of the PES offering as it says and you shall not break a bone in it why do we have this Mitzvah what's the basis of of this Mitzvah the principal basis is for to remember the Redemption of the Jewish people to to remember the that we are a special people we're treasured of all among all the nations we're Kingdom of ministers and holy people and it's fitting for us to perform the type of activities where we display LOF our lofty status to which we Ascend at the time this is it so the typical person would say hold on a second this mitvah of don't break the bones has to remind me of me being part of a special chosen people and a special people that was taken out of Egypt and so on and so forth you'll see a lot of of self-hating Jews one of their things that they don't like about the Jewish people their own people is that we are the chosen people we are the chosen people like this rash named met who is a uh used to be a BAL Chua then became used the Torah to build himself a stage pretending to be some uh Jamaican singing reggae which it's bizarre to me that anyone even took this joke store as serious to begin with a white guy with a beard and aish outfit singing reggae I don't know to me it's one of the most bizarre things in history I know a few good people that are from Jamaica I don't think they would ever look at such a person but nonetheless the world is stupid and listen to this jokester utilize the to to elevate himself because no one ever saw such a thing happen so he built himself a career and before you know it as soon as the money came he threw God in the garbage and now he even has interviews where he says that he doesn't keep mitv he doesn't care he goes he makes all types of sex crimes he doesn't believe in the Torah he doesn't agree with it he believes God in his own way and so on and so forth so this menal one of the things he says is that he always thought that the concept of the Jewish people being a chosen people is completely absurd he thinks everybody's the same and now he's not alone the same thing goes with other other Wicked people whether it's Seth Rogan or all of the other Wicked self-hating Jews that are in the public eye especially the celebrities very often that's one of the things they hate the most about the tah is that they do not want to be recognized as a special people they want to be like everybody else so here we have a mitvah that specifically tells tells us no you're going to do this mitvah because you're not like everybody else so then you're going to say okay but don't we have other MIT that can do the same thing don't we say every day to remind ourselves of that he took us out of Egypt that we're special people we're chosen people he saved us he's our God Ten Commandments all that whole things we love part of it in this week's at the end of the the so isn't not to remind us isn't it also you put on for the sake of that's the that's the Torah portions that are in those boxes in the boxes so isn't that about that and there's a bunch of others that are always about so what do we need this one also for comes listen carefully to each and every word that he says because it's a diamond do not think my son to challenge my words and say what purpose is there in hasem Blessed Be he commanding us to perform all of these mitv as a remembrance of the miracle of The Exodus why with one remembrance alone the matter of the miraculous Exodus can be brought to our attention so that it's not forgotten from our off Offspring for it is not out of wisdom that you would thus challenge me on this it's childish thinking that would influence you to speak in such a manner he says young little young man young girl that says we don't need this mitvah to remind us that made us Miracles we already have enough says only a little baby talks like that what do you mean a little baby a person could be 45 years old 55 years old saying such stupid things he says only a baby in Tor person that doesn't know any Torah a child a child doesn't know nothing only somebody like that would say such a thing why why why wouldn't a wise person say such a thing now my son if you have the understanding listen listen to this and incline your ear and hear this I will instruct you for your benefit in Torah know it to be true that a man is affected in accordance with his actions and his heart and thoughts constantly follow the deeds in which he is occupied whether good or evil even someone who is entirely Wicked heart for whom every product of the thought of his heart is but evil always if his spirits were to be aroused and he were to diligently place his efforts and activity in the study of tah in a performance of mitv even if not for the sake of Heaven the result would be that he would immediately turned towards the good path if he were to continue on that path through the strength of his deeds he would eventually slay the evil inclination within himself kill the AL together that we kill the this is because the hearts of men are drawn after their actions he says example number one to show you the truth even if you have somebody that is wasted seed his whole life violated Shabbat his whole life looked at all the awful things did all the awful things but you have that guy start go to a Yesa go to a Col go to an empty start taking books read non-stop all day just delve in t do pray put on to fing that's it he's focused on doing CH he's focused on doing you will see that Wicked person turn into aad but not just any like that has no what if he doesn't do it for the sake of Heaven he said he'll still succeed and we have a m several several experiments like this that we're doing right now we had one person one of a special project what I want you to turn the most wicked person in the world into a tadik how by learning the sh okay we have one guy used to be religious had enough bad experience from the religious World from Bad rabbis that he left everything behind ended up doing all types of things moved to a completely different country moved to Australia R FR approached him he said listen how about this I'm going to pay you to learn the whole sh in one year I'm going to pay you to learn the entire tal in one year not asking you to put on keep not asking you to keep Shabbat not asking you to do anything just asking you to learn the Shas and I'll pay you for it meaning you're not doing it for mitvah you're not doing it because you're trying to do Chu nothing just learn the sh nothing else I don't ask you for but you have to show me that you're learning it not just tell me you're learning it you have to give me reports him and several other people took the challenge on this young man that I'm talking about right now in Australia in a matter of now it's been 7 months 8 months isn't entire life has changed without anybody ever telling them to keep anything just by learning tah in the last seven months eight months maybe he has completely changed his life keeps everything he knows finish he's keeping Shabbat like it's m he came from M finish he says I have to say blessings how could I learn without saying blessings finish oh I can't wait for sukat I already know how to build the this this and that and he keeps finishing after after traed after traed after traed in the and his whole life is changing his wife became a with everything is changing she says just learn I'm going to work you do just learn this whatever you're doing it's working our life is much better that's what the is saying even if a person is wicked and made every crime Under the Sun if he seriously toils in Tora and does the he will end up becoming a big sadik and this young man is on Pace to be complete the entire talm not the Mish not the commentary of something no no the whole talm inside of 12 months what people don't achieve in their whole life B he's unpaced to complete it inside of months you can try the experiment also with people in your family you'll see it work but don't be cheap when it comes to money because you have to get them to do it for a decent amount of money anyway the continues even if a person is entirely righteous and his heart is straight and perfect desire to even such a person could be led astray by his way of negative actions if he were to constantly engage in false conduct you may say by way of example that the king coerced them and appointed him to a wicked trade then in truth if all his activity constantly and all day was in that trade with the passing of time he would eventually Retreat from the righteousness of his heart and become an entirely Wicked individual for the matter is known and true that every man is affected in accordance with his actions as we have stated many times young in Yesa in a come to me and tell me listen I need to do T I wasted this I did this I did that and I give him the shim you watch the shim you're going to protect your bre you watch the sh you're going to protect your breit why it's going to teach you the right way to think the right way to address this issue young girls they learn the sh about modesty they're going to want to be modest and so on and so forth and what ends up happening is that people start doing chuva they start doing Chua they start doing Chua they start getting strong they start getting strong and then they get a little bit overconfident what do I mean they get overconfident they figure listen since I'm already you know 6 months clean a year clean two years clean I'm already modest for a year I'm already modest for two years I can attend uh this uh non- kosher wedding or this non koser event or go to a non- kosher uh place and so on and so forth meaning that I could I'm already strong enough I can hang out with a few people that are from my past and I tell them do not go if it's a wedding or a bar mitzvah or whatever type of event that has mixed in sing do not go for a second not even for a second not even for the reception not even to wave and leave nothing nothing if it's one of these places one of these parties that celebrates idolatry like Xmas party don't go if it's a non kosher restaurant don't go if it's a non- kosher person don't go don't go it's your ex-girlfriend it's your ex-boyfriend don't go but people don't want to listen no no it's my best friend no it's my brother no it's my this no it's my that almost 100% of the time they break during that event and then they cry a river and another River Another River I can't believe I just broke it I can't believe I was good for six months for a year and now I'm already I'm starting from nothing and it t it takes double the effort sometimes to start again because they had momentum carrying them doing so good why says it right here even if you're aik even if you go to yes you're you're a good guy you're everything but you expose yourself to evil things you'll fall there's no question about it why actions affect the therefore the says based on this idea that the person is influenced by his action our sages of blessed memory have stated in the Mish Mak page 23b that the Holy One blessed is he desires to confer Merit upon that the Holy One wanted to bring Merit to therefore he gave them in abundance this is to say that he gave us an abundance of T and so as to preoccupy all of our thoughts through them and that all of our activities should be focused on fulfilling them so as to bestow goodness upon us in our ultimate end for through the good actions in which we engage we are affected to become good and we thereby Merit eternal life and our sages of blessed memory have alluded to this when they stated in m page 43b that anyone who has a on his doorway a on His Garment and to fill in on his head is assured that he will not sin this is because these are constant MIT and he's affected by them constantly and therefore you should look indeed carefully at what your occupation and activities are in terms of their spiritual effect for you will be drawn after them but you will not draw them that is your nature will not overcome your actions rather your actions will influence your nature do not allow your yet your evil inclination to assure you by telling you that since my heart is complete and perfect in belief in God what loss is there if I occasionally enjoy the pleasures that life has offered mankind such as to loiter in the markets in the streets to mock with the scuffers to speak with unrestrained wit and other such matters for which one would not be required to bring guilt or S sin offering for for having done that meaning you're not even going to forbid in places or doing things that you would have to bring a sacrifice for but you're doing them freely therefore what ends up happening what a person thinks is as far as as they concern that I will be drawn after the scuffers I'll say to them what I have a heart like them my little finger is thicker than their loins meaning I'm strong willed I'm strong I learned tah I'm just going to hang out with them have a couple of beers with them and then I'm going back to learn a shield toah I'm strong I don't need to uh worry about uh desecrating Shabbat or uh marrying a non-jew no no I learned T every day no my son says the no my son be worry of such company lest you being snared in their net many have drunk based on this logic from a cup of their poison and suffer it accordingly but as for you don't do so rather save your soul after you know this principle it will no longer trouble you why there is an abundance of mitv with regards to calling the Miracles performed for us by hasem in Egypt because these mitv are a great pillar of our tah and because of our engaging in them extensively we will be influenced together the M towards the matter that they are intended to bring us to recall as we have stated above meaning the whole point of all of the mitv is to keep you out of trouble to keep you out of trouble the fact that you're constantly being reminded to remember the Miracles in Egypt and all of those things is because if you're not constantly active in doing MIT for sure you're going to be involved in making sense it's there there is no neutral there is no neutral in Judaism either you're making or you're making either you're on the way to make a or you're on the way to making an a a sin there's no such thing as neutral for an extended period of time you're on the way to do something so is constantly giving us his Mercy by telling us he is another Mitzvah here's another Mitzvah here remember this here remember that here remember this why because your actions will lead to consequences good ones or bad ones and sometimes has to punish right away sometimes has to make a miracle right away nonetheless is giving each and every single one of us an opportunity to fulfill this to and save our own this will give us the courage to do the will of hem as hem wills and we succeed and we sanctify his name and get the rest of the people around us to do the same as Wills with that being said let's get some questions I did a blessing before okay uh um Ruben is asking if a person learns the Su and is convinced it's the real one should he put it on there are who wear it like ra and I don't remember ever hearing that ra wears the uh or that is wearing it uh listen I I don't believe it's necessarily a sin to wear it but you should ask your Rabbi you should ask your Rabbi if uh if he's wearing it because because if unless R Maza R do cook are your rabbis uh you know it's not necessarily that uh uh you should follow what they're doing because uh they're doing it uh especially since the vast majority of do do not wear the uh and you know I'm not sure but I've never heard that these two wearing the because again it's a very a sa big suff about whether really is the of the Tora and that's whyin theki and countless other never uh never uh counted it as the case uh so if you want to wear it by all means you can but uh if you ask me whether you should or not if you were my student and I was your Rabbi I would tell you no I would tell you no but you have to ask your Rabbi and and and uh and decide what you want to do I don't wear the if anybody is wondering I don't wear the I've asked the same question to my Rabbi and that's the that's the answer that he gave me maltin is asking are Jews allowed to sell or buy lottery tickets uh to buy a lottery ticket uh there is a Prohibition of gambling there's a Prohibition of gambling in the Torah and uh the uh I believe it was R Moshe Feinstein it says that if someone is going to buy a lottery ticket up to AA meaning an insignificant amount of money uh some say insignificant amount of money means $1 and some say it's $2 if he buys it randomly not like on a regular basis or daily basis because then it's no longer insignificant once a uh uh he buys it randomly once a month once every few months a dollar here dollar there uh or even some say $2 here $2 there let's say a couple times a year here then there is a no problem with it but if he's starting to buy lot of tickets and scratch off tickets every single day according to all opinions it's not allowed if he's a Jew a non-jew on the other hand is allowed that's as far as buying it that's as far as buying it now as far as selling it is concerned again if you know that the majority of the people that are buying the tickets from you are going to be not Jewish then you're allowed to sell it to them you're allowed to sell it to non-jews cuz they're allowed to do it if you know that your crowd is only Jews then you have to start monitoring to see if any one of your customers is an addict and you're in essence enabling him to his uh sin to his addiction which could be very very problematic not just for him but also for you uh but if the majority of the people uh let's say if you live in America or you live in England you live in uh Africa somewhere and pretty much anywhere outside of Israel then the majority of customers are going to be non-jews and therefore you're allowed to sell it uh but if you're doing it in Israel it's a little bit more problematic and uh and uh I think that a person needs to be careful uh yonah is asking I may have the Merit to visit the Reb's oil soon so my question is what is the kosher most effective way to pray at the grave of a sadik for instance do I pray to hem with the Merit of the sadik in mind okay so the important thing to know is that the sadik doesn't need your favors he doesn't need your favors uh praying to him is not a favor in fact it's a problem it's idolatry so never ever pray to aik never pray say oh Shimon please help me you know and you'll bring me the Salvation never do such a thing never pray to to the sadik never pray to never that's 100% idol worship and it's extremely problematic okay so you pray to hem now you pray to hem and you say in the Merit of this sadik what Merit in the Merit of this sadik's in the Merit of this sadik's T that he learned that he taught in that Merit please bring me the Salvation because I myself don't have enough Merit now why would the sadik allow you to use his Merit why would the sadik allow you to use Merit either because you're paying him respect and honor by bringing Torah and mitv to his to his grave site so you're coming to his grave site so in essence you're honoring him that perhaps will entice him to allow you to use his Merit or a bigger one and more important one that you don't even have to do by going to the oil you could do it at home you could anywhere except a filthy place you could do it in a is by learning theik learning the sadik's books that will bring you a lot more than anything else learning the sadik's books learning is T then you could ask and you could do that from anywhere you want to do that before or during while you're at the grave site that's uh that would be very effective but a lot of times people think that if they just simply go to the grave site they uh simply uh say they leave they should expect all miracles Under The Sun It's not exactly that it's not exactly that there's a lot more to it and uh a person needs to be careful uh not to uh uh uh you know not not not to expect certain things that are uh simply wrong uh it's very important to learn that that's really the biggest thing and actually is a famous story where somebody that uh in the beginning of uh radya uh being known to the world in the beginning a lot of people went against him they didn't know how great of a scholar he was and they went against him especially when he went and uh uh uh disagreed with the many times of the Benish uh which was the biggest Safari Rabbi until he was a giant among giants still a giant among giants and comes young radya uh still in his teens and disagrees with him and uh he got beaten up almost to death went to the hospital uh by people that called themselves religious and uh and were very zealous to protect the honor of their Rabbi uh the the Benish now either way even the ones that weren't foolish enough to be violent they still many people said bad things about radya and later on as it became very well known that he is not only a a giant in Tor he's one of the many people came back and apologized and said we didn't you know I'm sorry for the things I did what I said about the rav even though the rav was not there to hear it I know that uh you know it's I have to say I'm sorry and so on and so forth and one time one uh one guy comes to and says please I said bad things about the I please the forgive me says to don't worry I forgive you but if you really want me to forgive you you want me to forgive you with a full heart he said of course I would want nothing better than that yes he say if you really want me to forgive you learn my books learn my books that I spent my blood sweating tears writing then I will forgive you completely learn my books learn my then I'll forgive you that's the greatest thing you can ever do for aik for a learn their books listen to their lectures publicize their that is the greatest thing you can do more than money more than saying they're great and they're wonderful and giving them compliments more than anything else is to learn their tah you learn their tah automatically you're giving them something that is Beyond a Beyond price of any any amount of money in the world so if you're going to go to a grave site and you want to go to the fullest extent as far as having the biggest impact my recommendation is to learn the tadik that uh before you go and even during the time that you go there aside from also praying to but praying to Hashem remember next question um Charlie's asking what does v and do the CH doesn't is is a CH that is admitting the wrongdoing that you've done now chuva in itself the is there's several steps so there's the uh uh first it's admitting that you've made a mistake that's the V all of the different sins that a person made that is the first step of CH if a person lives in denial doesn't think that they even sinned she doesn't understand why there's anything wrong with her wearing a long wig she doesn't understand why there's anything wrong with her wearing pants or a short skirt she doesn't understand why there's anything wrong with her flirting with uh some guys from time to time she doesn't understand why it's wrong to uh to go to lunch with her guy friends while she's married and even if she's not married she does understand a person like that cannot even begin to do Chua they can't begin to do Chua why because they're not admitting they're wrong same thing with a guy a guy doesn't understand why it's wrong for him to watch sports instead of learn tah he doesn't see what's wrong with him watching movies he doesn't see anything wrong with it then that person cannot even begin to do chba cannot even begin to do cha now since I mentioned the whole issue of TV and watching somebody sent me a present many times people send me stuff but once in a while it's mha gift what's his gift I'm going to share this gift with you it's the gift that keeps on giving what's his gift a group ofik zealous for the words of hem wrote this and publicized it and recommending that people print this and hang this on their Shool and on television screens should be also computer screens should be everywhere what is this said there's going to be should do a blessing a blessing to be recited before watching a movie unless it's the T movie because T movie we already have a blessing in the movie but if it's any other movie you have to do a do a special prayer if you will what's the prayer I am hereby willingly and readily preparing to bind myself to the meaning the Satan to give power and strengthen the kipot and the forces of evil that reside in the world with the movie that I'm about to watch and may it be that for the next 2 and 1 half hours I will unite myself totally and completely with the movie and bind myself to it in total concentration I am hereby ready and prepared to be a p to desecrate my eyes and gaze at IM modestly dressed women for the next two and a half hours I am fully prepared to be over on a love meaning a from you should not follow the the verse in the Tor so we say don't follow the ways of your heart the ways of your eyes you're going to violate that mitvah I am also willing to transgress the love of that uh you should uh keep away from anything of evil don't ever get close to a sin I am ready and prepared to be over a of looking and thinking about women as brought down by allim another sin including but not limited to the ran I am also more than ready to be over on and to you to also desecrate the mitvah of being holy and that we're obligated to be holy I also ready and prepared to look at the face of the even though the holy warns that it is very damaging to the soul so this is a prayer that a person should do before they destroy their go before you can destroy read this you're not going to watch the movie but it continues and M even though it's long it deserves our attention to hear every word I am ready and prepared a person should say to himself if they're about to watch a movie I'm ready and prepared to funnel impure thoughts into my mind that will cause me to heaven forbid be to waste seed if that will not happen that I am fully prepared and ready to seek car while I'm asleep meaning the seed's going to leave at him at night which is still a sin says that a person should watch his eyes during the day so evil doesn't come to him at night if a person has seed come out of him at night while he's sleeping if the it's because he watched immodesty during the day it's 100% a purposeful sin I am fully ready to contaminate my mind day and night with impure thoughts and Recollections from the movie that I'm about to watch I'm ready and prepared to spend countless spaced out from beginning to end having the impurity of the movie overtake my mind I'm ready and prepared to have the in my what with my on thinking about filthiness while you have on or during your amid prayer you're you don't even know what you're saying you start with a uh you finish you don't even know what you're saying because your mind is thinking about movies I'm hereby making myself a vessel to fully receive and absorb all of the impure essence of the defiled actors and producers that created this movie I'm ready to be integrated and impressed upon my body soul and emotions I'm ready to absorb all the non-jewish culture and the bad traits of the 70 Nations I'm willing and ready to bring into my mind confusion and heresy I will confound my mind with Wicked philosophy until I will start not believing in AEM and sikim altogether I'm ready and prepared to start uttering the vulgarity and slang that I will hear throughout the movie and fully plan on integrating it into my daily conversations I'm prepared and ready to adore and idolize the wicked in the movie who wish to destroy am and whose ancestors committed gross murderous acts against our nation I'm ready and totally bind myself to their fake impure and empty culture and commit to live it myself and my family I'm fully ready and prepared to cause great damage and destruction in the spiritual world I ready to cause great flaws in many of the various holy names I'm fully ready to create great havoc in the worlds of I'm ready to damage and mutilate all parts of my soul composed of and I'm ready to delay the arrival of mashia and to bring much suffering and poverty to the world I'm ready to waste the next hours funneling impurity into my soul instead of spending the time studying and doing I'm ready to lose all sensation and awareness of Kad as well as nullify my and I'm ready to strongly lower my ability to concentrate and learn to as well as damage my memory for all things holy I'm also giving the the the uh the demons in so many words a permanent share of all the Torah and MIT that I do until the point when I do chuba I'm ready to create demons and other negative entities that will steal all my substance I'm ready to further away my ability to find my Z making it hard to find a wife or husband and make her completely opposed and rebellious to me if I do find her meaning even if you find a z you'll have marriage problems if I'm married then I'm willing to have my children considered sem since I will not be able to control my thoughts where the says says anyone that is thinking about a different woman while he's with his wife say that's a that's like you cheated on your wife I will do all of the above willingly and gleefully sitting relaxed in the sofa and enjoying myself to the utmost now this for anyone who doesn't understand it's obviously mocking the whole issue of watching TV watching movies Netflix all this garbage but many times you will see people that call themselves religious do just that without thinking twice about it even uh some of these people that have a uh YouTube uh videos they call themselves rabbis they openly admit for watching movies on Netflix and watching all types of sports and filth and so on like without thinking there's anything wrong with now anyone that has Kus in their mind knows that watching all that garbage ruins you watching all that garbage ruins you watching just uh immodesty on the screen all these HBO shows and Showtime shows and all types of Filth that's out there it's damaging your mind so if you're already going to do it at least read this and maybe maybe this is enough to wake you up and encourage you not to do it because apparently you forgot the entire Tora that says not to do it so maybe maybe this will remind you and I 100% agree everybody should have this in their house in their uh on their screens in their betet this literally should be laminated so if it was allowed to make this into a tattoo I would say tattoo it but we're not allowed to have tattoos this is something this is this is this is what a person needs to think that if you're going to destroy your you you could do it in two seconds by watching TV by watching shows by watching the internet all that stuff two seconds you could use everything for good and for bad you can use the internet to get the you can use the internet to get the the internet is allowing many to reach countless people in all parts of the world but also leads many people to G known because of all the pornography and filth and so on so everything can be used for good and bad if you're GNA be using these screens of your TV of your phone of your computer for bad at the very least take all of this into consideration and realize what's on the line what you're losing what you're losing as a result of watching all this filth and perhaps this will encourage you to to not do it so as far as to complete the answer to your question Chua is number one admitting that what you're doing is wrong number two is to stay away from it by building a fence by learning about the topic learning about the sin learning about the mitvah learning what entices you to sin learning what entices you to do a mitvah and so on building a fence around it not spending any time with people that encourage you to sin not going to places that encourage you to sin and so on that's step number two step number three the rambam says is remorse where you simply cry to hem when you do this V by admitting that it's wrong is good but it's not enough you have to also be sorry about it meaning cry over it be sorry about it say AEM I'm sorry but genuinely mean it how come it's step three and not step number one because says that's because when you first start stop sinning it's not because you think it's wrong you stop sinning because you see that something else is more right but you don't feel that watching movies is wrong at first even when you stop watching movies you don't feel that wasting seed is so wrong even even after you stop wasting seed in the beginning you don't feel like being immoral with women is so wrong you actually find it fun at first you don't feel so bad about it when do you feel bad about it once you have stopped admitted the problem stopped it learned about it build a fence stayed away from it stayed away from the filth from the spiritual filth for an extended period of time long enough to be able to smell the stench that comes from it then you will feel sorry for ever being part of it this is why many times real only start crying about their sins months and sometimes years after they started doing chuba why because in the beginning when they started doing chbat they didn't realize it was so wrong to violate chabbat they didn't realize it was so wrong to have abortions to uh to uh to steal to do all types they didn't think it was so wrong without T in reality there's really nothing holding you back from murdering and stealing and doing everything wrong in society there's really absolutely no real reason to not be a monster if not for the tah you're going to say oh but the law yeah but what if you can get away with it what if you can get away with it with murder and rape and so on like many politicians and Superstars and Hollywood stars do on a regular basis they murder and rape and and pedophilia and so on for a long long time until they know enough somebody enough where they expose them but really they go with crimes unanswered for many years decades Wicked people disgusting filthy people like Michael Jackson and the uh Kevin uh Casey whatever his name is all these filthy people in Hollywood that are pedophiles that they do it for decades decades they don't feel wrong about it for a second they don't feel wrong about it for a second many times even after they're exposed they don't feel wrong about it it why they don't have to without the to there's really no reason to not be a monster if if you can get away with it there's no reason not to not to do it but if you have Tor you realize this is wrong this is not the will of hem this is disgusting this is terrible and so on but you're only going to realize that after you have gotten yourself far enough from the filth to realize it's filth that's why it's the third step says and then step number four will test you and verify whether you've really passed the test and then sign off on you you are a real Bal chuba now if you want to express your whole Chua to make it much bigger much greater much uh stronger and so on you throw in some CU in there on a regular basis because that the more you help others the more could who's going to help you and many times you need to help others in order for your chat to be complete to begin with anyway but the point is is that that is in essence admitting it and then as far as you're admitting it in multiple stages of the cha good question excuse me is asking if Shimon does I.E giving out movie card CDs H movies although the recipient does not do Chu does Shimon still receive reward and bringus into the world or not 100% he brings K into the world 100% he gets reward for it why because uh pays your reward for your efforts not for your success for your efforts not for your success if a uh uh if a person tries to do their best but they're uh they simply have no success they it's impossible for them to succeed for whatever reason or another a rule in the that if a person is an is incapable of being able to do something but he wants to do it hasem rewards him as if he did the mitvah 100% that's one thing number two is that a is the one that's responsible for results not us we are responsible for effort we're responsible to give the card to give the lecture to learn the page to uh to uh uh arrange the lecture to do whatever we're doing to to publicize to we are responsible for effort as far as what the outcome is going to be only a decides what the outcome is only decides what the outcome is and if a person exerts enough effort where he has merits will make sure that those merits ear earn rewards those merits earn reward rewards and even the Prophet Jeremiah uh when he saw that there was a lot of wicked people he uh but those Wicked people Justified their wickedness because they were giving staka Jeremiah prayed to Hashem that he that hasem take their staka money and give it to Wicked people so at Le they won't even get Merit for that so when a person gives staka when he gives uh donations they also have to have Merit for those donations to work for those donations to work and actually be effective and if a person is doing it for the right reason because they're doing Chua and they want other people to do Chua surely reward them uh for complete success for the effort and even for the for uh for the success Steve are non-jews also limited to words and does texting count as using words uh I believe so I believe that all mankind uh is uh is limited to a certain amount of words but texting or writing is not really considered words no it's words that come out of your mouth uh Mark Mac if I had an income then surely I would again contribute gladly but I am extraordinary case and am as rich as I could be okay Arthur uh on schm Exodus 213 Rashi says that if the servant was not married at the outset of his term of servitude his Mastery may not assign him a canite slave woman from whom to Father their slaves since only a Hebrew slave has a term servitude is Rashi saying that a Hebrew slave is allowed to Father slaves from a non-jew yes yes he's saying that we don't have the uh mitv we don't have the ability to slavery anymore but technically yes yes uh ysep I just came home okay uh question uh what should a convert be studying on a weekly basis along with the with commentary if they are already watching several hours of your per day something else I've read a syllabus but I'm looking for a good Next Step okay so the study program should be for everybody not just necessarily for a uh uh for a someone that's in a process of conversion so a person needs to learn the weekly par with commentary then they also need to learn mus then they also need to learn you know you know two per day at least if not more uh and that's the uh that's the M the weekly now if a person is a little bit more advanced if they're already a Jew then they would start studying if they're not a Jew just add to everything that you're already doing it does not need to be something else it should be even more than what you're doing right now and if you want to let's say you you want to learn more but you don't have the strength to to to uh to exert your mind as much as necessary uh let's say when you're learning M or when you're learning or something like that then I always recommend for people to have have at least one bio of theim that they're reading at all times a bio of one of theim whether you want to write read the bio ofas or the closenberg rebi Rashi ramban there's so many bios that Sim no nation in the world even has 1% of the amount of extraordinary people as the as as the Jewish people it's unbelievable how amazing the Jewish people are it's such a extraordinary that a person uh could have to be part of the Jewish people if they truly knew who the Jewish people are uh and not conclude who they are by the news uh or unfortunately sometimes by the people they see in their Community but uh if they really understood who the Jewish people are who are the ones that represent Judaism who are the who are the who are the amazing people you would see how uh how extraordinary it is uh and there's quite a few bios that uh you know I can recommend friend anyone who doesn't know uh I can name you a few I can name you a few of top of my head that I think are fantastic one of my favorites is to remain a Jew it's a life story of zilber zilber to remain a Jew is a best seller which is unusual for a Jewish book but it's a bestseller and it's an extraordinary book uh also raan's bio elman's bio touched my heart in in ways that I don't think any other book has uh connected to the sadik in very big ways is his sacrifice his love of Tor is em uh and also I uh's bio my wife and I both started crying at the end uh so those are a few and you also have uh many others the the closing verbi if you read that book uh you're simply going to learn more what it means to be an angel even if you're surrounded by Gom being an angel inside Gom closing bi fantastic bio something exceptional uh one one actually a uh reading right now is uh is uh grman David Grossman's new book or relatively new book um we just started reading it I usually read these BIOS with my wife uh uh on Shabbat uh and we started reading a couple of weeks ago I don't know what to tell you I mean there's Angels Among Us and we did not even know I've known about R Gman for a long time but not in this way not so so uh so close uh it's it's just Mas it's an angel among men Angel among men it's m Angel among men and people would think by the image of Gman that he's like one of these Care Bear rabbis nonsense nonsense His Image is one of the uh the things that fools people the most none you read his book you see what he says and you see his the reason why he succeeded and continues to succeed and lives a thousand years not 120 years a thousand years doing what he's doing and M building m a city a city of kadus turning the biggest criminal city in in the land of Israel into the holiest city of Israel single-handedly obviously lots of help with people and so on but he built a city of Holiness a city of Holiness how emit emit couple of stories I could remember there was one time uh a uh the uh the Russians moved into the mdal emic area and uh they were getting a lot of help from the government and the uh the Safari Jews the Moroccans uh weren't getting any help from the government in fact they were treated like uh garbage many times so there was created a lot of tension between the two and one time the uh the Russians had a party and one of the you know spicy Moroccans decided that he wants to go to the party even though he's not invited and not allowed to go and pushed himself into the party the Russian guys said get out of here he didn't want to get out of there pushing and shoving he took a bottle glass bottle smashed it and stuck it in the guy's neck the guy died on the spot he ran away and now the Russian were looking for blood looking for blood this was I believe if I remember correctly that's unfortunately when you don't know what Judaism is that's what you do in so now the Russians are causing havoc in the city it's already a crime city to begin with andman is praying in his most critical day of the year Judgment Day the mayor of the city comes in with a bunch of people gets ghost men's attention please I need to talk to you right now middle of Prayer in the morning right now what happened tells him about the whole murder that happened the night before and now the Russians are looking for blood any Moroccan blood not just the guy so comes ra Gman K doesn't look like he knows a word about crime doesn't look doesn't even look doesn't even look like he ever heard the word crime but he has dealt with it in the neighborhood andash completely completely revive the city day after day dealing with all types of criminals and turning them into not just people oh yeah maybe I'll gives some once a month 15,000 people have be come students from his place 15,000 what he did is unbelievable unbelievable rabbis di came from him the last 40 50 years so anyway he he is this is the beginning stages this is still he's still young he's probably 20 something years old he hears about this Russians are looking for blood he he stops he leaves the place the people continue to pray and he goes to the center where all of these Russians are yelling screaming mamash like sharks and piranhas looking for blood he comes to them he starts speaking to them in yish he doesn't know Russian but he speaks to them similar they understand them and he starts giving them the understanding that he's on their side yeah you're right going to make sure he goes to jail he gets punished and this and that they see a rabbi talking their language okay sounds good the mayor is telling them to say all types of things as if no don't do nothing yeah he knows they're not going to listen to this may who's this may he doesn't know what he's talking about you have to tell these people that you're behind them so now they are listening to this this I don't even know if they ever saw a in their life but this is talking their language he says you guys want to do it let's go come with me top the whole all of them dozens of them are all following rman where they follow he walks to the sh the sh is already packed on now double the amount of people he gets them all they're all excited what's going on here we're in a Sho this Rabbi is with us whatever and then he gets on there and he starts giving a m and he says this to them surely the guy that did this is gonna we're going to make sure he goes to prison but I want to make sure that you all know anyone here that spills Jewish blood whether his or otherwise I promise you you will not finish this year alive at that moment all of the tension all of the heat all of the anger nothing why they knew he meant business they knew that holy man they never saw before was saying the truth show me how many puppy dog rabbis are willing to say such a thing tell a bunch of people that are criminals that they're not going to finish off the year and mean it but that's how he dealt with them and that's how he got them to change and that's how he got many of them to do chuva and change the whole Community changed the whole Community another time he goes I believe he went to uh England land England I believe it was and he sees a couple of um guys Israeli guys walking and they say how are you how are you and he uh says to the one of the guys says to them listen I got this non-jewish girlfriend that uh she wants I want to convert her the RAB help me on the spot of Gman says to him I'll answer you in a moment but I want to deal with something else for a second he says aren't you ashamed of yourself that you're telling me that you're dating a non-jewish woman you an Israeli Safari Israeli nonetheless are dating a non-jewish girl and you tell me about it like it's not a big deal when your ancestors died to be Jewish you're not even embarrassed to say say that you're with a non-jewish girl don't you think you've crossed all lines on the spot he tells him no sugar coating no maybe she has a Jewish n nonsense 100% truth to his face the guy didn't know where to bury himself from the embarrassment but he all he had to say is like Rabbi listen all the guys here doing it all the guys he goes where they meeting all these non-jewish girls he says there's a night club for Israelis apparently a lot of non-jewish girls like to come too he says I'm going to see you there tonight Gman was called the Disco Rabbi he used to go to discos and get people to do chai inside the Disco I don't believe anybody in the world today could do that not then and not today and you go into a disco 100% you end up sinning every single sin in the Tora just like is you have to be is Beyond Comprehension you have to be an angel among men to to to do what he did you have to be an angel among men somebody that's not like that for sure goes to a nightclub doesn't come out doesn't come out he was called the Disco Rabbi they did a whole documentary about him in the 1970s he says to the guys oh that's where the guys are I'll see you there tonight he goes there that night he goes up to the DJ Booth he says may I he takes the microphone from the DJ and he starts telling the people it'sa I'm G to do let's do a blessing for kanuka he brings a manora a bunch of Israelis are saying amen unbelievable life unbelievable life unbelievable Kusa what he did is called it's it's it's the it's it's a being having like nerve having like no sh shame when it comes to the issues of Kusa of Holiness he goes on the states takes the mic you know ask the guy for mic gives him the mic and talks to them about blessing of of kanuka and then he starts talking to the guy he says guys I want to talk to all the men I'm sorry women I'm sorry ladies I can't talk to you now I want to talk to all the men tonight in the back come meet me all the guys have no idea what this is even doing there but they're inspired okay let's go talk to the rabbi he sits there and he talks to them until 3:00 in the morning till 3:00 in the morning talking to them about into marriage telling them to telling them what needs to be done get out of this garbage a couple of the guys that are 100% criminals say to the rabbi please save us you have woken us up tonight but there's no way for us to go to is there's no way for us to stay here because we're in crime wherever we go go you have to help us to get out of here we know the now he says don't worry I'll take you he takes him to Rabbi in France they become they become with what with lies with shooing no we tell them it's okay to drive on Shabbat absolutely not 100% imit no questions asked a lot of people try to personify him as as if he's like a Care Bear uh he doesn't care if you sin he doesn't care if you violate Shabbat this complete lies there's no way that a person would have such success such living a lie the amount of Truth is unbelievable so that is one of the inspiring uh books that I'm reading right now on Shabbat so that's one of the things a person should add to their life okay next question the Pentagon is apparently going to release documents about aliens I'm sorry okay the secular world seems to be raving about this what does the T say about supposed aliens are all these UFOs uh spotted just or uh to my knowledge and I remember reading it in a book called The Coming Revolution or also named the uh science comes of age by by AR zamir Co the head of UT in his book he writes that the Torah does not discuss life on other planets I.E aliens it doesn't say they exist and it doesn't reject their existence but nonetheless it's not mentioned because they have no impact on us meaning that there's no UFOs coming from from Pluto and flying over here in in in you know Over Texas and mowing your lawn that's not happening that's not happening and anyone that knows a little bit about it knows that most of that stuff was complete fabrication people were doing it uh and they were excuse me they were caught doing it but there is no doubt that there are certain uh images that people see uh that are uh unusual uh they're flying they're going into the ocean then back into the air surely there are you know there are sites that are there uh is that necessarily uh aliens from different planets no it doesn't need to be aliens from other planets it could simply be different creatures that live in this world that are just simply not common whether it's not common to see them because they're Angels or demons or they're simply not common as far as they're not like a zebra or a lion but nonetheless they exist in the world because because there are many creatures that are mentioned in the tah that used to populate the world that don't necessarily exist anymore uh so again I personally think that many of these things are fake altogether uh but the ones that are real could very well be a group of angels a group of demons a group of uh different types of creatures that exist in the world but are not usually uh uh things that people see because Hashem doesn't allow people to see them but sometimes hasem wants people to see them for different reasons and therefore he does this but uh surely there's no place in the to that I'm aware of that uh mentions uh any of these uh aliens from different planets that are coming to this world is there uh uh life in other planets uh as far as if you're talking about there's aliens and so on no uh not not uh uh not uh to say mean no like they don't exist but no it's not going to be like something that's uh going to impact our life uh but there are other uh uh other creations in the world that if you saw them they would look like aliens to us because they look nothing like us and that is mentioned in thear and in the Z uh especially if you look at the uh that discussed the life of where he brought some of these Creations to his kingdom uh very very small people or people with multiple heads or unique type of animals so there are uh there are creatures that uh exist uh that to us would look like aliens but again they're not aliens they live in the world they're just not coming they're not coming uh there is uh a lot of the things that people see uh in movies uh that with the exception of all the promiscuity and the filth uh you know a lot of the stuff that you see actually has a source in the tah it's not Innovations it's not creativity it's just somebody hearing the story from somebody that at one point learned to learned the mid for example uh the whole issue of uh people that turn to wolves that's in the Tor Benyamin one of the 12 tribes the sadik that never sinned one of the four people that never sinned he would turn into a wolf he would turn into a wolf uh the The Hulk the green monster okay the uh that is an Essence a copy of Y also one of the 12 tribes he just wouldn't turn green but he was huge he was powerful and he would Roar and Destroy things and so on very similar to the character of Hulk uh Flash the the one that runs really fast also not an innov not a creation At All by people people but rather a innovation of what's written in the Torah about naali also one of the tribes who used to run very very fast and was able to uh go back and forth from Egypt to uh in a matter of seconds or minutes or whatever it was uh so we see that the uh many of these characters are in the tah uh and uh a lot of the things that you see on uh on uh on screen is simply a innovation of what's written in the tah uh the whole issue of U big uh monsters and so on also in the Tora also in the T if you look at the uh uh the mid that talk about the uh uh the great whale that lives in the in the world or the which is enormous animal bigger than even uh your dinosaurs uh or uh the uh just a lot of different creatures that live in the world or the Phoenix is what they called in English it's a special bird that was blessed by Noah and uh it was blessed to live forever so every Thousand Years the mid says it lives for a thousand years it burns up and then resurrects it and it lives for another thousand years and resurrects it and thousand years that lives in the world it's this beautiful bird uh that was blessed by Noah uh and there all typ of creatures in the world so if you see those creatures or perhaps some of the Angels uh that hasem has in the world or some of the Demons or some of the mikim or there's so many different Creations in the world that surely these will all look to people like aliens from a different planet because they're not used to seeing such things but uh I I promise you that uh it's not from other planets but rather it's if it's real it's from our planet it exists in the world and it's mentioned in the Torah okay one more question and uh then uh we're uh going to be done I'm kind of tired um Rosalie my mother is Christian how do I honor my mother I'm not a Christian and I follow to uh well honoring your mom is a if you a uh uh uh you want to honor your mom there's no problem to honor your mom as long as she doesn't tell you to violate the toah there's no problem to honor your mom as long as she doesn't violate the to so if she tells you to go get her something from the store if she tells you to help her in some certain ways that are reasonable if uh she uh if if she's the sure you could help her for sure and you could honor her for sure but if she tells you to desecrate the TOA if she tells you to pray to some statue or some yos or something like that you're not allowed to honor her now why would you honor her if let's say for example a person converts to Judaism uh do they have to honor their parents uh that are not Jewish yes they do have to honor their parents that are not Jewish but not because of the mitvah of honoring your parents because they're no longer considered your parents they're considered your biological parents but not your spiritual parents so there is no Mitzvah of honoring your parents in that case for a convert so why do you still have to honor your parents you honor them because of for gratitude gratitude for them helping you bringing you to the world gratitude for them helping you financially and feeding you all those years changing your diaper uh educating you and so on and so forth you owe them gratitude and for that you have to honor them uh so uh a person needs to honor their parents in that case and it's very very important for a person to know that honoring a parent is a obligation both on a Jew and njw both a Jew and a non-jew and a person needs to Simply uh help their parents as much as they can do what their parents do as much as they can um as long as it's not against the Torah now there's a uh famous story that the ad Al wrote uh in his about uh about honoring your parents where uh he says that uh the holy rabbi by of shwa uh was a uh uh was asked AAL question about aun women that their husbands go to war and they don't come back but nobody knows if the husband died or not now was not sure about the uh how to here so he said he has to go to T to go and speak to his uh his his father who's the great sadik wants to go talk to his father as a giant and talk to him so when he got the son he uh came to the uh it was went to a Jewish uh hotel motel and he asked the uh the uh the guy there to give him the specifically the uh section specifically I need to study it so the helper the helper of of says why are you reviewing the section of if you obviously already know that the whole issue of a is in a section of of it's a different section why you reviewing of different section he says because when I come and see myad my father and we're going to start discussing T we're going to start discussing surely we are going to disagree surely we are going to look at things differently and I have to learn all of the laws and remind myself of all of the laws of honoring my father now so when we disagree I know how to behave I know how to behave and still honor my father according to the toah because even if you're talking T you have to honor your parents you have to honor your parents I need to know all and for the next several hours learned all the entire section that talks about honoring parents and then he said okay now I'm ready to go see my father now I'm ready to go see my father why a person knows that it's not always easy to honor your parents especially when it comes to the issues of spirituality but needless to say you're obligated to do it obligated to do it obviously there's a bigger obligation for a Jew and more details of the obligation I should say for the Jew the the non-jew but nonetheless there is an obligation and believe it or not one of the sources in thear that talks about honoring parents uh where we need to learn uh honoring parents is from a nju is from a non-jew there was a non-jew that was a merchant and the Jewish people were looking for a stone that they lost from the of the G the Coen Gad has the that has all the stones one special stone for each tribe representing each tribe and one of the stones fell and got lost and they need to replace this Stone but it wasn't easy to find such a stone and they find out there's one guy that has this Stone so they come and they say okay they're ready to pay whatever price he wants they're ready to pay whatever price he wants said want to buy the stone you have the stone he says yeah I have the stone okay I want to buy it how much you want it he says 100,000 you got it no problem no negotiation whatever you want we got you cash we brought the money so he goes and he tries to get the stone he sees that the stone is in a box right under where his father is sleeping he comes back to the he says I'm sorry I can't sell you the stone he said why not says because I can't sell Stone my uh I'm not going to wake up my father no come on I'm going to pay you 100,000 you'll lose the business I'm sorry I'll lose the business okay okay fine 200,000 200,000 no no no they thought in the beginning maybe he just wants more money we pay 200,000 no 400,000 no 500,000 no a million no after they offered them so much they see the guys Relentless they gave up they gave up shortly later the father woke up and he came back to the to the said okay I'm I'm ready to S you the stone oh okay here you go the million oh no no I don't want the million we agreed 100,000 that's what I want and they so wow this guy is a righteous noi a sadik he really did it for the honor of his father he didn't want to wake up his father wow so they gave him the the money original agreement because because he was so righteous blessed him the says that that year he had a red cow born in his a uh as part of his cattle and as you would have it am was looking for a new red cow a new red cow there's only been I believe eight or nine throughout all of history they were looking for one of them and they found out he has it he has it dtina was the name and uh they went and they uh they came to him and say how much do you want for the red cow cuz they knew he could ask for whatever price he wants and they have to give it to him because there's no other red cows you can't go to different town get a there's no red cows it has to be completely red never uh have any burden on them not even two hairs that are not red all types of specific things how much do you want he says all I want is whatever I was supposed to make on that diamond meaning the difference the difference that I you offered me a lot more that's what I want for the red C comes the and say learn learn how to honor your parents from him look how he honored his parents and Hashem blessed them Hashem blessed you don't want to wake up his father even if it meant losing all the money look how much he honor his parents we have to learn how to honor parents from somebody like that so needless to say all of us are obligated to honor our parents again as long as they do not tell us to violate the T if they tell us to violate the T we're not allow it to honor them that's why there's a verse in the T it says honor your mother and your father observe Shabbat I am God why what's the whole thing says honor your mother and your father because it's one of the Ten Commandments initially it says honor your father and your mother here it says honor your mother and your father why because we don't want you to think that honoring your father is more important than honoring your mother or vice versa so one place in the T says honor your father and your mother and the other place says honor your mother and your father opposite but nonetheless because you spend more time with your mother you may get too used to her and disrespect her so honor her honor your parents okay observe Shabbat that's the next part of the verse observe Shabbat okay observe Shabbat both of them are Commandments I am God I know you're God who else is telling me this I know you're God what's the point telling there of honoring your parents there's the rest of the mitv such as keeping Shabbat always remember he is God meaning if your parents whether your mother or your father tell you to violate Shabbat or any other mitvah you're not allowed to honor them anymore because I am God I come before everybody else I come before you have to honor them so long as they don't tell you to violate my MIT so long as they don't kill the connection between me and you which is the MIT so a person that understands the significance of honoring parents will work on it and it's a very difficult Mitzvah sometimes it's a very difficult mitvah but nonetheless a person needs to work on themselves and I think again the biggest uh thing uh that uh helps with all all mitv is humility the more humble a person is the uh the better he will be at doing mitv and even more so the more he respects others the uh the less likely he is to to get angry at them and to disrespect them why if you give your mom your father your brother your kids everybody else you give everybody honor you're not going to get you're not going to cross the line and embarrass them why because who does a usually a person get angry at who does a person get angry at gets angry at people he disrespects yells at his wife yells at his husband yells at people yells at this but if a cop came up to you pulled you over you going to start yelling at them most likely not most likely not why because you honor the cup if a judge you're in a court judge yells at you even you're going to yell back absolutely not why you honor him you you're scared of him you honor him you're scar of him right same thing with your wife same thing with your husband same thing with anybody else that's important to you if you honor them you will not disrespect them you will not get angry at them even why because you're honor you're too busy honoring them so person if they're busy honoring their parents surely they're not going to disrespect them and get angry at them and lose their cool with them but this again it's something you have to have in your mind on a regular basis to um to uh uh to to think about it and meditate over it and and practice it even uh before you actually get to the point of having to do it uh last question um what's best book website to read kosher biography of Love wman um I mean it's as far as if to buy the book to buy the book I think it's
