MUSSAR Iggeret HaRAMBAN (Series Finale) TIME TO THANK HaShem!

[Music] we are uh back for our uh Tuesday night tonight will be the the uh finale of the series we are up to uh lecture number 39 uh tonight's sh will be for for Le for um Ben Abraham Rafael benm Ben Rifka Miram but Suri for um Sak but baa B but Sarah D Mercedes Elisha SAR Raam raan SAR an David benri Doris and all of is will have so we are at the end of the letter the last sentence in the letter and uh the ramban has taken us to school on a new wave of thought a new understanding of what it means to be pure what it means to be righteous with Hashem what it means to understand what our mission is in life and uh a person that listens to this letter from the first verse from the first sentence of it until the end understands that the the words of the sages are nothing like the words of Scholars of today or any other time uh as uh they uh thought every single word every single sentence every single letter uh and uh to the extent that you could study their letters that they wrote to their children as t uh and learn an enormous amount of uh lessons from it where if we did a whole new series another 39 lectures the next 39 lectures would be completely different than the first 39 without a word being repeated that's how much you can learn from the now the uh issue we have many times today is because of our many sins as individuals and as uh as a nation we've lost our understanding of what a really is we've lost our understanding understanding of what a sadik really is uh we've lost our respect for our sages where sometimes you hear uh people talk about the sages as if they are just anybody oh yeah that uh that guy what do you mean that guy you know Rabbi guy who who what do you mean Rabbi guy you know ramban ramban the friends these these guys and you know anyone that knows a little bit about knows a little bit about Torah shocked shocked that the sages are being regarded as such but at the same token understands where we're standing in the generation where people don't understand where we're at now part of the reason of why a person can get to such a low level of misunderstanding uh you know the is because of all the T that they bring onto themselves from their actions whether it be the the big sins ofat and wasting seed and and and so on or it could be just simply ignoring the advice of the sages and exposing themselves to a as if it's not such a big deal exposing themselves to things that are not recommended as if it's not such a big deal and the problem is that they don't realize that the says in when the sages debated if you have to go from point A to point B and you have two possible directions to go there two possible roads one road you'll have a house full of zot prostitution house and the other road has idolatry has a church which one do you pick so one says well we could go by the idolatry because there's no girls over there so we pass the biger says no absolutely not it's better for us to go by the prostitution house by the the the the bite of znot than to go next to the place of idolatry why because by the prostitution house we can simply close our eyes and not see anything whereas with the place of idolatry even if we simply go there whether we close our eyes or we don't close our eyes it'll still affect us it'll still affect our sometimes you tell stuff like this to people I said what do you mean it affects the N I don't see anything they think the N is like uh your your body you know where you fall you break your hand you see some blood oh see I broke my hand cuz you saw blood or you saw black and blue or you saw your skin turning to all types of colors you figure something bad happened n doesn't work like that the was given to you pure and the goal is to return it even Pure or at the very least as pure as you received it but when we expose ourselves to things that are forbidden whether it be television or video games or all types of uh uh things that a says are forbidden you decide that you want to go to your friend's uh wedding at the church because he's Christian and he's your best friend or you decide that you want to go to a his wedding even you know with the uh with the mixed dancing wedding over there where all the Shima created along with the wedding just cuz he's your friend or he's your brother and says no but you say yeah but they don't understand it's my friend it's my boy you know it's my girl it's my this it's my that okay suit yourself it's your risk well nothing happened see Rabbi I went nothing happened I didn't even look at any of the girls I didn't nothing happen you think nothing happened you just don't realize that you brought home with your with you about a, maybe 1,500 possibly even 2 million I shim they're living in your house right now rentree why they have to go somewhere they were created at the wedding they have to go with the with the with the guests a person do understand that I don't see it RAB how could I how could I tell we'll see tomorrow all of a sudden next morning usually wakes up for net minan 6:00 in the morning next morning 8:30 in the morning his wife is still trying to wake him up honey wake up wake up they're almost going to finish praying no no not I'm feeling sick what happened I'm tired tiredness became a sickness today I'm tired I'm tired all of a sudden by the time he prays it's the afternoon it's 1:30 Rabbi can I put on F at 1:30 in the afternoon still it's okay sh yeah I'll watch it I'll watch it online I'll watch it online online shows up Rabbi comes on but so does the uh Christian priest so does uh you know the sports channel so does the znot and all the garbage that's on TV with all of these reality shows I don't understand how people don't get depressed watching reality shows you just see how horrible people's life is and people continue watching it it's it's it's like heroin you know it's bad for you you still do it though yeah the rabbi I had you on so so what do you remember out of the lecture no not so much you know in the background was a reality show and a sports show and a this show and a that show so in between when they were having commercials I was watching you what happened you used to be an avid watcher he used to be of the write notes and everything yeah I don't know RAB I don't know since that wedding since that wedding I don't know what happened since that wedding I don't know what happened but RAB I got to tell you a secret what I really did look at somebody and she called me and she said she wants to go on a date her name is Christine she's my boy's sister she likes me what do you think Rabbi maybe we convert her yeah a Gom we'll convert both of you we'll call you C and you don't have to see sins in order for them to affect you and that's one of the main things that the ran is trying to deliver us in his and his and all of his work and all of the work of all of the you see that the fear of hem that's his treasure why that's the foundation now sometimes you're going to see a person that's relatively learned but doesn't have much you ask him a question he can give you an answer basic stuff nothing not g or anything you ask ask him a question RAB am I allowed to do this not allowed to do this can I eat this can I eat that all types of things so yes or no but he himself walks around as if you're not even sure if he's Jewish you're not sure if he's religious you see him taking pictures putting on his Facebook page with you know women you're not really sure what's what's going on with this guy but he knows a lot of stuff what does that mean that means that something's wrong with the foundation and when there's something wrong with the foundation it is very very hard in my experience almost impossible to change that person without a himself breaking him first if the person is simply ignorant like the vast majority of the generation like we used to be and we try not to be don't know much asking about M you remember a movie ask him about no he said yeah there was another movie all all that you know is for movies somebody like that you can help him easily five minutes I can help him do chuva five minutes why simply prove to them that even if there's a 1% chance that I'm right they still should do complete chuva why four and a half minutes about G do chuva in a second you want to do another way logical takes about 10 minutes science seven any way you want you can help a person do Chua if it's empty if the canister is empty you can fill it up with kadus and help the person right away if if they're open obviously if they're not biased and they're all looking to uh they're already addicted to their sins if the guy's a crack addict I can't make him a uh you know open a new center for aa aa overnight takes a while but if it's a empty canister you can help the person do chuat relatively easily why it's empty he doesn't have anything oh he has a he thinks came from a monkey I can prove Hees come from a monkey in two minutes it's not a problem go show him his grandfather new that's not my grandfather say oh you didn't c a monkey then let's go show your real grandfather Abu finished but if the person knows a few things Rabbi he's a rabbi your local kabad or your local Orthodox modern shenanigans that they have over there or he's a he's a he's a he's a fredman follower he's a he's one of these people almost impossible to change why because what happened is at some point he didn't realize that he was learning tum he was learning impurity he was learning things that are against the tah and he built a foundation and after that he continued learning Torah the problem is that the Torah the Purity is sitting tight on top of impurity and you can't fix the Purity is is there so it's mixed you can't tell the difference he doesn't know what you're talking about why you saying these people on the list are Kim why why saying this guy is there what are you talking about what do you mean what are you talking about the guy said that the and are Parable the other guy says that the tah says that uh uh homosexuality is an Abomination but he disagrees it's not an Abomination says it five times but he disagrees with to he disagrees with hem it's not an Abomination he says hasem Needs Us it's against 13 principles of Faith so what are you talking about that you're saying it's he's not a Cil no no you M what mistranslating listen with your want me to transcribe it for you you could just read it instead of listen Maybe the the power of the voice won't have an impact what happened how could these people smart people sometimes rabbis go against one guy leaves me a message I'm Rabbi such and such from I don't know some uh some uh state in in America I think it was Seattle or something and uh uh I only watched a few seconds of your video and I think that you're wrong like he didn't watch the four videos we made he watched only a few seconds and decided I'm wrong so what happened how could such a thing happen because there when there's a rotten Foundation everything that's built on top of it is spoiled if you build a house you build a building before everybody moves in with their furniture and their computers and the employees it looks good look sir your million dollars were well spent look we have four stories look at the outside we have these windows they're they're they're beautiful Windows special made from Italy and the and the Rocks we got it from Guam and this one and that one all types of things beautiful house right and the color just you know sir we got it not from China not from China no we didn't get got from somewhere else well I'm not going to tell you what it is because maybe you're going to tell your neighbors but listen the best stuff million dollars well spent house worth at least 5 million sir okay great all right moving company let's go moving company brings a couch the whole house goes down one couch the house collapses like the World Trade Center how come R Foundation you look you investigate insurance company investigates what's going on you made a claim for a million dollars on day one before you moved to the house they investigate they say your guy built the entire house on a swamp and he never dried the swamp he never fixed the swamp he never even put cement on top of the swamp how did he expect this house to stand Insurance claim denied why your gu is an idiot he built a lot of good stuff expensive stuff un bad unspoiled which is the reason it's important to know that when you see people that look smart have titles say that the obvious wrong is right that means that their Foundation is wrong the foundation is wrong their Foundation is rotten and they are part of that crew and the only way to get such a person to do chuva from my experience and from experience of people much much bigger than me is if a himself breaks these people gets involved shows them they're worth zero and all of their knowledge is worth zero which this covid-19 is helping out a lot everybody's realizing zero I had one guy send me a whole Milla of a message RAB wanted to say few years ago I went you know I was watching yes I stopped watching it because I had a discussion with some local Rabbi happens to be kabad again I don't know why this name keeps appearing had a discussion with this with this Rabbi and he convinced me that the whole generation are and you are wrong and he is right and and this all types of things so I sto watching your why because you guys were strict everything strict strict strict what strict I just teach basic minimum of Al what's strict teach you to stop being mean to your wife teach you to stop stealing in your business that's strict where you want to give you a permission to steal oh strict the rabbi say you're strict everybody's they're all captured babies we should leave them captured that's what the Rabbi says over there but then after I see how Hashem is judging the world he writes to me I see how Hashem is upset with us and he's killing us by the dozens AEM killing us by the dozens with this co9 in one second people lost billions of dollars entire companies went bankrupt families lost loved ones didn't make any sense but then I thought ah maybe maybe maybe they're not if they were wouldn't be upset they captured babies they don't know nothing Let Him Live oh come on put a diaper on them no what's up but if hasem is upset how could he be upset at a baby captured nonetheless he says the conclusion is they're not captured they chose to be captured it's like sometimes a little kid hides under the cover says ABA can you find me can't see me you can't see me that's what they are they're choosing to hide and they think you can't see them can see everything and he realized that the other the other set of instructions that's out there in the world that tells everybody that everything is perfectly fine and everyone is a sadik as long as you givea because that's of course always relevant everything is fine he says that's wrong you have to tell people to change you have to tell people to do what Torah says no questions asked but that's also why when you look at the prophets anyone that studies a little bit of the prophets you start realizing that our shim are a little bit too soft they're a little bit too soft the guys are making mov they're making movies but they love the parts when I read the prophets why it's the scariest stuff in the world I read you guys the yeah once in a while it appears in a movie in there clip here and there I read the prophets Prime Time movie why why why why why is this go M no no no the prophets why prophets look what the prophet say the prophet scar us to death every time week after week the Prophet Malachi talks to us about the end of days and says to us in a very clear way to this generation as the says to us everything that appears inside the is relevant to every single generation in chapter 3 verse number six says to us says forem have not changed and you the sons of yov you have not perished you see clearly tells the prophet to tell us today he didn't change nothing changed Torah doesn't change as says to us the T became one says I have not changed and you have not perished yeah you struggled yeah you suffered yeah you were persecuted but I kept my promise that you will not perish you'll always be there but just because you didn't perish doesn't mean that everything's okay I have not changed you're still not complying with my Torah and the suffering will continue if you don't change and if you're waiting for me to change stop waiting it'll never happen doesn't change T doesn't change yeah but the generation no generation people think that the sins of this generation are new it's not new all the sins are old the way we commit the sin sometimes are new people think that immodesty and girls walking around half naked is new the prophet Isaiah rebukes a group of women calls them tells be walking around with high heels and bells on and then eventually we see the punishment of what who gives these people what he does to them makes all types of horrible smells and rotten flesh come out of the worst parts of the body the parts that we're trying to expose why because when the prophet was rebuking them told them how could you walk around like this what was their response I no come on Rabbi what's the worst thing that can happen the go are going to like us they want to marry us so let us marry let let them marry us asked who are these who are these rotten women who are these rotten women that answer the the prophet such in such a way says these were the wives of the rabbis of the generation people think that the sins of today are new nothing's new way of making the sins is may be new sometimes the point is is that the ran tells us very clearly week after week for 39 lectures it's time we change our ways it's time we fix ourselves and as says if somebody simply listened and followed to just the first sentence of this letter the Holocaust wouldn't have happened the Holocaust wouldn't have happened and the next Holocaust wouldn't happen what's the first sentence here my son the of your father that's it go to the end of the letter what's the end of the letter if you do this you'll get to reward to endless that's it rest of the letter you could skip that just follow the first one listen to M of your father bad things won't happen why when you listen to M and you apply it to your life you become a Pure person he told us to run away from anger he told us to run away from arrogance he told us that if we want AEM in our life we have to run away from such things because runs away from us if we are arrogant it says in says to me and him cannot be in the same room why there's only one God when a person is arrogant he thinks he's God who hates arrogance hates prideful people they want uh the world to uh dance to their tune so now after we've heard some harsh mus we see see that it is critical for us to run away from certain things but yet we see sometimes that people come in and they like it and they're starting to do chuva and they come back to their sh they come back to their school and their friends haven't listen to the same sh and haven't fixed themselves and they're still you know back in the uh type of mentality still pray to a rabbi instead of to AEM still think the rabbi is going to help them somehow and uh take them out of Gom because they they had long payers or because they went to his grave not because they learned this Torah no that part not so much all types of nonsense that people have added to Judaism and turned Judaism into some type of like witchcraft so now you start listening to you start applying him you start doing you come back you see some of your friends some of your girl girlriend some of your boyfriend all these different people not so much so now you have a decision to make am I going to stand strong with like or I'm gonna I'm not gonna I'm gonna pretend like I'm like everything's okay like I'm gonna be religious but quiet and my own I'm not going to show everybody that you know when I go to school I'm gonna wear the 's clothes like them I go home and put the long dress on when I go to school I'm gonna walk around with a uh you know tank top and shorts look like I'm I just came out of the shower I go home put on TI when I with my friends I play video games with them home I'm GNA watch Rabon I'm watch him on YouTube does it work does it work why tell us if you're going to purify your mind you have to go all the way as long as you continue delving yourself into the Forbidden you're never going to be where you need to be Asad Shalom shalad as I told you a few days ago was one of not only one of the greatest kiru rabbis of the generation but also one of the gim he says that it's better that there is one person that is an idol worshipper and one person that's aidem serves AEM instead of having two people that want a little bit of and a little bit of Tora too at the same time mixed instead of having two people modernizing the Torah it's better one of them is completely Idol worshipper and one of them is sadik one of them is good why at least one of them is going to go to ganen this way because if both of them want to delve into the neither one of them is going to G what's the point so the ran tells us the following every day that you shall read this letter Heaven shall answer your heart's desires am he gives advice to his sonman that if he follows this letter he reads it he prays to hem will fulfill his prayers and this is an amazing they telling me if I read this letter every single day what ever I pray for is going to happen it's unbelievable so the toil over this is this for everybody or is it just for his son so toiled over this letter and he says and he concluded that the main message in this letter is measure for measure where he tells his son the raan tells his son if you do what I say you give kib honoring your parents you'll get to answer your prayers because you honored me is going to honor you in essence G to honor your prayers measure for measure so this says is for his son but that doesn't mean that it's not for us too why because says if you actually study this letter which is what thean was telling his son to do obviously it's going to change you obviously it's going to change your mentality obviously you're going to apply this to your life in certain ways and purify yourself and if you purify yourselves of course is going to answer your prayers as we read every single day in our is near to all who call him but then he continues all who call him B so person that hears this and reads this every single day before right before amida which is a verse in t 145:8 immediately goes to the question wait a minute so you're telling me that anyone that prays to hm hasem responds to him well then there's a complication here why I prayed for three months for Z nothing happened I prayed for three years for nothing happened so what it's a mistake in a system I pray for I'm still struggling I prayed for this I prayed for a lot of things didn't happen so what does it mean here so first we have to understand that in the first part of this verse says anyone that prays to hasem anyone that calls upon AEM but in the second part he gives you the code anyone who calls upon Him beit sincerely with theit not just call him Hashem Hashem please help me rob the bank right now Hashem Hashem please let this girl come home with me Hashem Hashem let this uh pork sandwich taste delicious no come to him with a come to him with sincerity so the suggests to his son to read this letter every single day because this letter is going to help him fulfill the mishna chapter 2 mishna number four where it says if you treat God's will as if it was your will God will treat your will as if it was his a person that purifies themselves works on their character traits works on their anger works on their s stinginess works on their arrogance works on all of their flooded character traits purifies themselves and since they are treating aem's will which is to purify ourselves and to work in ourselves as if it's their will in reality if someone ask you listen if you have a choice you have a choice to stay the way you are or work on fixing it you're going to immediately time if I have a choice and there's no consequences I don't want to do nothing I sit there on a on a couch like a couch potato do nothing all day why it's much easier much easier to do nothing to fix a character tra you know how much I have to work work on myself you know how many books I have to read you know how many times I have to bite my tongue and not say what I want to say you know how many times I have to think about it you know how many obstacles have to overcome it's tough to fix a himself says himself says it's easier for him to complete the entire sh than to fix one character trait one mid and this is Bal this is the king of M so of course it's hard and if someone asks you you have a choice no consequence you're going to K peek no no do nothing so that means that when hasem says you have to do it and we do it that means we're doing his will and we fix our character traits when we fulfill our the MIT that he commanded us what ends up happening is we're turning his will into our will even though it's really not our will we don't really want to do it but we're doing it because he said to do it hasem says I'm going to do what you want me to do even though sometimes I don't want to do it even though sometimes I don't want to give you a big a house I'm going to give it to you why you're a good boy you worked on your character traits you're not stingy anymore you finally donated some money you finally stopped yelling at your wife you finally took some time and patience and taught your kids for for a half hour or an hour you finally did things that were tough for you why because I said so not because you wanted I'll give you what you want so thean gives us a in his son a code where he says when we fix ourselves when we turn hashem's will into his will he will turn his will into ours or our will into his now sometimes we pray to Hashem for certain things and they don't happen so David says wait I said if you pray to hem you call out to hem but remember that prayer has to come with AIT with sincerity don't call AEM to fix your entire life after you just started fixing things for two weeks Rabbi I've already been keeping Shabbat for a long time now how long two weeks already Rabbi you know how hard it was for me two weeks how come didn't send me a new job already Rabbi I don't understand what's going on hasm listening to me I'm already keeping k for a month and a half how come I'm not healthy already I still have the cancer I still have the this I what do you think hasm dances to your tune no yeah it doesn't work that way tells us all of this that call him that means that you've overcome the obstacles that means that it became part of you that means that it's it's your now his mitv are now your his will has become your Emit and a person does such a thing is going to answer his prayer now when a person prays many time he prays for things that are out of the ordinary he praise to get something that in reality has nothing to do with him he wants to get a job three times above his pay grade he wants to get a woman that looks like she's from a different planet in comparison to him he looks like he belongs in a zoo and she looks like she belongs in ganeden She Wants to Marry a guy that could potentially be a king of a town well she could be the cleaning lady we want stuff that's more than what we deserve want Miracles we want hasem to cure cancer stage four in a week want to fix undag undetectable diseases went to 25 doctors no one knows what it is but you want hasm to fix it in a week why because you started keeping modesty for three days who are Miracles and says page 29 and that we shouldn't rely on Miracles turn Miracle but the Mal comes over there and he says listen we cannot just rely on Miracles but when you pray that sentence that rule doesn't apply to you anymore why your prayer asking for miracles that's by default all of your prayers are for miracles all of your prayers are for miracle we can't pray for miracles what can we pray for everything is a miracle for you to live another day is a miracle When you pray for miracles that's not depending on Miracles why because the answer to your prayers by default are all miraculous pray for as many miracles as you want don't be completely Delirious understand that there are certain qualifications certain things that you need to do in order to qualify for a miracle to happen to you but the point being is we pray for miracles enjy you want to marry a guy that owns five countries go for it pray for hasem maybe I'll give it to you you want to marry a girl that is the most beautiful in the world and you look like Uncle Scrooge go for it as long as she you want to pray that you're going to complete the sh for the first time in your life within only one year go for it as long as you study every single day you don't expect to sleep eight nine hours 12 hours a day like some high school kid you study every day you want a to give you the strength to finish the in one year go for it pray why prayer is all miraculous to begin with the fact that who listens to our prayers is miraculous answers our prayers gives us what we want go for it but pray and make sure that you show up to the prayer with the right tools what's the right tool beit show up to hasem with AIT don't show up to hem with lies don't show up to hem with a warped ideology don't show up to hem right after you finish the conversation bad mouthing half your Kaya bad mouthing H your family bad mouthing your wife bad mouthing your husband bad mouthing your Rabbi don't show up with SH you said hello to them I love you everything is good yeah yeah yeah and then when you left they left 5 minutes later let me tell you what really let me tell you what really happened I have a juicy uh juicy details for you no what they say to you are they getting divorced are they are they sick really is this H don't show up to don't pray don't even bother praying to hm if you have such a conversation now we learn says that we are forbidden to just waste our time but even more so having a just a mundane conversation even that has to be very limited for sure shouldn't be done on Shabbat and on yum but even during the week very very limited whatever is necessary as the M says a person shouldn't be he shouldn't speak a lot to to the woman says who was woman his own wife don't speak too much to your own wife needless to say somebody else's wife but the point is is that a person needs to M limit there's a beeper still from the 19 '90s oh oh yeah it's a clock inside my uh my uh thing somehow it turned off no inside inside the big one on the bottom under the papers tell me get on with it so yet went into my bag and somehow turned on the alarm it's amazing amazing for the season finale he's got to come up with something new season finale no sent us a spider sent us uh people to inter all types of things so I clock goes inside a back turns on a clock that's been off for three uh four five months I don't even think it has the battery check the battery at the end of year probably there's no battery so now when they have conversations is very different it was one time it's written by a uh in a by one of hisim one of his serious and he writes stories that he himself saw or heard from the not that he heard from different people himself he saw enough and learned enough and he has one part of the on top it's the commentary on the Tor different verses of the Torah and uh the other part is what was this is what said about this different stories that are relevant and so on and he tells in chapter 19 of he tells a story about how there was one time a big Gad big by name of zilberberg one and uh in v in wara and uh one day another shows up and uh he uh tells him what could I do for you says I'm looking to uh sell some books you know I wrote a little bit of seph and I'm looking at sell it oh okay and then they start talking talking about different things for an hour after an hour zilberg catches oh no I have to go I have to go teach us I can't just stay here and have such mundane conversations I don't have the luxury to have such conversations when am I going to learn to so the says to him well although is right there's a need to learn toah our conversation wasn't really mundan because we didn't say we didn't do any talking bad about people everything we said was Emit and worthwhile and this two will be considered T in the eyes of hm immediately zilberg jumped for Joy you're right that's you're right we didn't say for a whole hour we spoke good things that's tah that's fulfillment T what book are you selling again what book are you selling he said no it's like a little book it's called zberg Almost almost fainted he goes yeah yeah no what doesn't matter you want the book he was sorry in front talking to you for an hour there's no pictures YouTube YouTube all this nonsense back then he didn't know what he looked like he was talking to the for an hour he didn't know he was he I'm so sorry I disrespected the you were selling I even gave the the I am the the the head of teachings in the history I gave you a rebuke about what we talked about I'm so sorry from that day on every time the came into V went to the zilberg would go and speak to him not Torah conversation he says why he says conversation with the that's the tah you speak to regular conversation that's the living Torah that's the living Torah that's the Torah in action what's the conversation people regular people have no how are you how's the kids where you guys going for vacation are you going to buy the second house or no no I'm expanding so what about the kitchen what about this nice sneakers what a hat what about this car yeah my neighbor has the same one garbage conversation meaningless what do you think about the salary cap of the NBA of this of that completely meaningless conversation conversations of the that's the living T that's the living Tor and that's in essence what the ramban is trying to give us is one of the messages where he tells us if we read this letter on a regular basis we're going to little by little become like a who commanded us to become in last week you'll be holy cuz I am Holy how could you become Holy by reading this letter not just by reading it and you don't even know what it says by reading it and following what it says studying it thinking about what is the message inside this you watched all 39 of the lectures that we've done in the last several months now study them again and again and again and again why cuz every time you study them you'll see there's a different message that hatte you a different things that applies to you cuz sometimes first you you showed up the rabbi mentions arrogance and even though you're as arrogant as can possibly be you don't know it why because you're so arrogant you think you're humble by the time you got to sh number n number 39 you're like is I got to do CH 39 it took you to do CH what I got to do go back to Shi number one why cuz now I finally realize he's talking about me me so now I have to listen to the message all over again and start applying it because the whole time you were talking about arrogance and stinginess and all types of things and you were just like yeah delete delete delete cancel delete delete delete archive delete why you didn't think it applied to you you're waiting for the stories you're waiting for the because you thought you were you thought you a so you waiting for the you didn't realize you were the rash in the story and that's the question where are we in the story so thean tells us clearly study this daily why daily it's going to help you fix yourself purify yourself become okay become he has to listen to sh also become no it's okay it's okay leave him alone leave alone he's alive it's okay maybe wants to listen to all leave him alone don't be uh mean to bugs he it's unless he comes on my books then he's a r but if he's just over there he wants to learn the tells us we have to work on ourselves we have to work on ourselves we have to toil over the Torah we have to turn our conversations to T we have to turn our conversations into D and that takes a lot of learning but even more than learning that takes a lot of of restraint working on our character traits working on our midot because you can know a lot of Tora but still like to talk about basketball and football and all types of other nonsense so that's why shadon says it's better that there's one guy that's a sadik and the other guy's an idol worshipper rather than both of them being 5050 a little bit of idolatry basketball NBA football basketball all this nonsense and little bit of Torah once in a while it's better one guy's no TV no internet none of that nonsense that unless it's he's not interested she's not interested if it's not her she not interested better her than the guys that are 50/50 so further he tells us about praying for miracles a person that is in a call up upon hem with the means with anytime you have a bit before word it means with with with don't pretend that you're something that you're not but this also means that you have to understand what you're saying to hasem First for example many times unfortunately we get calls from people or messages from people that are sick and they want to cure and you know you get some information from them and you tell them listen do you for this start becoming modest put on keep Shabbat whatever is missing after you get an idea of what these people are missing if it's the foundational stuff that's the advice what does me putting a have to do with me getting healthy what does me putting a long dress on have to do with getting healthy what does me eating kosher have to do with getting healthy is that a specific diet Rabbi has nothing to do with the diet first you fulfill the mitv of the the foundation then we can talk further but most likely you fix this everything else GNA be fixed and people have a hard time they have a hard time taking this in by the way if it's bothering you that much the bug then you can kill him it's going to bother you that much you can kill him whoever wants to kill him you kill him it's bother that much I see all you guys instead of looking at me you're following the bug where he's going he's going to T Aviv he's going to he's going here I've seen eight eyes already going to different places if he's bothering that much just kill him they it no it's okay but if he's not bothering you leave him alone let him do his TR SK now the people have a hard time hard time accepting such a device why they were expecting something they consider more powerful a schoola give me like a a t i could read 87 times upside down and that's going to fix all my problems give me like a rubber band I could put on my ear and that's going to fix my problem give me like some type of book I don't know how to read cuz I don't even know what the language but I could put in my library that cost me $115,000 and that's going to fix my problem give me an amount let me write a check right and that's going to fix my problem people want that you don't need that what do you need do the basics of what who expect from you that's going to fix it now what happens they don't follow through they don't follow through and say okay okay I'll do it I'll do it I'll do it next two three four days yeah I have a new appointment with another doctor this doctor is the best doctor in the east coast it took me a long time to get an appointment but I had to call my friend that knows his wife and his uh sister's this and that and then and I got an appointment for today so pray for me Rabbi this this is the best doctor or listen Rabbi I got the best lawyer this lawyer is the best lawyer he's such a good lawyer the defendants are scared to even defend themselves next to him just from a conversation without even charging and he's going to win the case for me Rabbi pray for me that the lawyer is going to win the case guess what that's that's that's heresy why you're going to a doctor you think the doctor is going to give you the medicine you're going to lawyer you think the lawyer is going to be the mashia mistake when David tells us pray to but pray to him be with theit meaning have in your mind a clear understanding of who has the ultimate emit who has the Cure that's only a and you're only telling please please give me give me the messenger that you choose whoever you choose that he's going to be the one that's going to bring me the Cure that you want to bring it's not that he's going to bring me the Cure just use this doctor that knows Al barely that knows how to act from one to 10 but not further use him to give me the Cure use this lawyer to win the most difficult case in the world even though he just graduated last week whatever it is use him because you are the solution not this lawyer not this doctor none of these people are the solution you are the solution if you come to hem with such a prayer your prayer will be answered and Hashem can use anybody to give you any piece of chalk and call it medicine and it'll work or the opposite he can make the greatest doctor 20 years experience mess up your entire body and make you fight for your life for a decade and a half I I know I was there but I also know that if I knew this little trick that I'm about to give you for free it wouldn't have happened free just because you guys were bothered by the B over there what's the trick understanding what you're doing before you take medicine or anything in life means you understand that the only reason this piece of chalk this piece of gel this piece of Europe is going to work is only if decides for it to work not because there's good science not because it's a big company not because it's expensive not because the doctor knows what he's doing you know he's really a good doctor so you know how many good doctors kill people good the best doctors kill people to best ones think it's a mistake that the says the best of the doctors goes to G I mean it's referring to something else but nonetheless don't think just because somebody's a good doctor he has a solution what's the solution AEM so now if you're ever going to take any medicine whether it's an Advil for headache or it's something much more say the following it's obviously with a not a k May It Be Your Willem my God and the god of my forefathers that this dealings this health dealings will work because you are a free doctor you are a free doctor not the medicine not the doctor before you go to the doctor you say this before you go to a uh take any medicine you say this why you're acknowledging hasm hasem I know this is just a piece of syrup that somebody sold me I have no idea what's in it and even if they told me I still wouldn't know the difference in reality this could be the cure for everybody else in the world except me or the exact opposite it canot work for 999 million people 0.9 but only work for me why you decide you decide so please since you're a free doctor make this work make this work make this messenger I'm going to go to to check on me make him know what he's doing because that's you're the free doctor you're the doctor this is coming to hem with theit what's theit here theit is that you know who has the Cure the moment you rely on people you're steering in the wrong direction now a person has to humble thems and have an extraordinary amount ofuna in order to recognize that everything is in the hands of hem humble themselves because that means that you are simply removing all of your own strengths and realizing that any strength that you have any money you have any good you have is not yours to begin with your talent is not yours your ability is not yours any success you have is not yours only because Hashem decided to give it to you so the first thing when you're going to have such inem you have to humble yourself now in order for thisa to work and for these prayers to work you have to have will answer your prayers you have to have confidence that is going to answer your prayers now it's very interesting that we pray every single day but many times we pray so many times that we forget what we're actually saying now we're not going to go over every single thing but just going to go over a little bit of what you all did in today before you got to you told you read to him Psalm 145 and in there you said that hem answers all prayers anyone that answers with a met and who who's those people that the will of those who fear Him those who have that's who he's going to fulfill that's who's proving that he has prayer that's with because you have no but what about loving himem what about loving him Rabbi doesn't say anything about loving him just fearing him it does say fear AEM he's going to answer your prayers but the interesting thing is it says he doesn't say is going to actually fulfill their prayers he's going to fulfill their will which is even higher meaning if you've gone to the point of you don't even have to ask AEM for it you thought it in your head I wish I had a bigger house honey uh my dad just gifted us a house what happened that's how it works that's how it works when a person has real he doesn't even have to pray for Stuff says give whatever you want before you even ask for it before you even know you need it that's how amazing it could be but if they start crying to Hashem and they're cries he will hear and he will save them if they get into trouble they start crying to says what do you want my son crying why he beat you up I got it I'll take care of him I'll take care of him he hurt you he did this to you that this that no problem you don't have any money buy something don't worry I'll send you money tomorrow what's your what's your zel account what's your venmo what you have PayPal what do you need Check Cash what do you want stop crying son stop crying my dear daughter don't cry no I'll give it to you why you cry to that's what you said this is what you said before you got now then you go into am you go into Amid and you say blessed are you hem the god of our forefathers abrah isob the powerful the awesome God the most [Applause] high the one who bestows all of the good all of the kindness the creator of everything in so many words you're complimenting hasem with as much as what you possibly can but in reality there's never enough compliments but we're allowed to do this because put this together cuz in reality we compliment theem from here until the end of the world it wouldn't be enough be complimenting AEM saying thank you hem that you know I'm connected to what and yob I may not have any merage whatsoever but they have enough that I still exist I still have a right to exist in your eyes because of their merits and thank you for being the shield of then you talk about how hasem give it further a different compliment what he's the powerful the ultimate and the only one that could resurrect the dead he's the only one that controls the weather he's the one that brings parasa sustains all living beings in essence you're telling him everything that he already knows so why why are you doing it to remind yourself that he's the one that makes people come to life from a little putrid seat from nothing and he's the one that talk turns this big tall strong guy into dust nothing and if he wants to turn him back from dust into something he can do that too how glorious are you you reviv the Dead who else can do that the ramban himself writes in commentary to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 34:1 that the reason why kadh fulfilled all of the Miracles of the prophets that we see in the Torah was because of their because of their prayers that's how powerful the prayer is then you tell hem you're holy hasem your name is Holy everything that has to do with you is Holy Hashem if we were to praise you from now until forever it wouldn't be enough bless you AEM for being so holy so so far the first three prayers that you do in every single amid no matter where you are during the year whether it's during yum it's on Shabbat it's during the day the first three are always the same thank you that I'm part of ab and yob that's my forefathers Hashem you're the most powerful you're the most kind you're the most everything you're the only one that can resurrect the dead and turn the living into dead Hashem you are so holy it's unbelievable that's the first story of every prayer so in essence we are recognizing his in infinite of everything of everything that's any good then we go on and we talk about how Hashem is gracious to person to a person where in reality all knowledge that you have he's the one that gives it to you it's not because you study a lot he's the one that Grace Graces us with knowledge he's the one that gives us wisdom understanding knowledge so again we are back to thanking hasem we thanked him for making us Jews and we're part of ab and yakov's lineage we thank Hashem for being so powerful so kind being the only one that could Resurrect The Dead only one that could bring the living only one that can make something from nothing being so holy and now we're thanking him for giving us everything that we have as far as wisdom is concerned that's the fourth prayer fifth prayer please AEM help us return to your Torah and bring us closer to serve you return us to help us let us give us help help us we can't do ourselves help us do but not just any CH before you why cuz when I see you I'm not going to have an opportunity I see you in Judgment Day I see you in sh I'm not going to have an opportun I'm sorry there's no I'm sorry in sh please give me the strength to do Chuan nowm please give me the strength I'm so weak I'm such a nothing and you're such a everything give me the strength to do Chua we pray for this three times a day three times a day we ask hem please help me do chuva wait but I'm room for birth I don't need to do chuva you have to do Chua even more now for just say that needless to say for thinking that that's next one then we go on the next one there something that is getting in the way what my sins please forgive them please forgive me I've made sins I made so many sins hem don't remember all the sins from my childhood My Teenage life with when I when I before I started watching the sh before I started keep please hem please forgive me pardon all of my sins you're my king I'm a p I'm I'm a criminal cuz I sinned willfully panu why why are you going to forgive me because you're good not because I deserve it but because you're good you're good and you're forgiving next one we say hem look how much we're suffering how much are we suffering hem I didn't have money to pay the mortgage I have money to pay the bills my wife is yelling at me the kids don't listen my boss told me I have two weeks left before he's going to decide whether he's going to fire me or not none of my friends want to talk to me I have this itch on the side and I think it's something and this is that and my this and that I'm suffering constantly Hashem please acknowledge my suffering all the fights all the issues that I'm dealing with and bring us to Salvation the complete salvation Salvation as individuals salvation as a people what salvation bring us the mashiach bring us the good now I have a question we have the T continues after this the uh theid continues after this we ask for health we tell hem thank you again for bring the one that gives us panasa controlling the the weather the climate and so on WE but before we go into those did anybody ever notice that before we asked for mashiah we said thank you you to hasm a million and a half times for being Jews for him being so powerful and Majestic and unlimited forgiveness and he gives us all of our knowledge and all of our money and all of everything that we have and then finally we ask for salvation finally we ask for okay the best how come explain many times if you want a to bring you the Salvation do how do we know we pray for it every day every single day before you ask finally for the ultimate salvation for name to be one and only that's everybody knows he's the only one that's it finished no more competition no more Idol no more atheism no more nonsense for his name to be Sanctified once and for all for all of us to have just good permanently before all of that look how many times first we thank him for having patience with us for even picking us to be part of his chosen people for being such a great God that has so much patience and have much so much generosity and has so much forgiveness and then we ask him listen even though we know you're so forgiving you're so kind you're so so generous you're so amazing you're the only one that can Resurrect The Dead you're the only one that could bring the living we're still not grateful enough so please help us do CH that's what we ask for help us do CH forgive us also for the sins too give us the strength to do the mitv because we're not really realizing how good you really are even though we say it three times a day so give us the strength to actually mean what we're saying and furthermore forgive us for all the garbage that we said about you last week forgive us for all the garbage that we thought about you two weeks ago forgive us for all the garbage that we did against your name 2 3 four 5 years ago forgive us for all of it before we ask for salvation for mssiah for good for for Redemption for everything what are we doing with the first six of them what are we doing we're doing Chu that's whates for and how often are we doing it three times a day three times a day now finally after we ask for chuva we ask for for for everything okay hem give us the Redemption why give us the Redemption because now we're finally ready now we finally deserve it we thanked you we glorified your name we acknowledged that you're the best we've acknowledged that you're the only hand that feeds us we've acknowledged that you're the all powerful we've acknowledged that we are sinners and we're not good enough but we're trying we've acknowledged that we need your help in every single thing that we have we've acknowledged everything now we have made ourselves deserving for you to help us even further now we made ourselves deserv because we did CH so now after we did the first part of the Chua we say hasem can we ask for some more can we get some more stuff now you know my my head hurt all day my tushi hurt all day my foot hurt all day my wife my this my that give us I don't want to have any more pain I don't want heart to have any more pain give us why what are we going to go to a doctor for doctor doesn't know anything what does he know how to fill a prescription only one that understands him is a pharmacist why because they have really good eyes they understand his gibberish handwriting what does he know he knows how the Body Works ask him how many how many uh muscles and tendons have to uh uh be utilized in order for you to just get up from the chair see if he has an answer what does he have all the knowledge he has who gave himem you you're the free doctor you you give us you want to use him to give me you want to use n to give me you want to use a piece of chalk to me give me no problem use whatever you want but just give me the please why I did cha already remember I did chva and has now that I'm healthy can you give me some money too why you know I live in a in a neighborhood in my house we have you know the family is growing we only have one room can you give me a little bigger house it's more comfortable there's less slite issues and everything why you're the one you're the one that's the next thing we ask for you're the one that controls it then we ask again Hashem don't think I forgot about the Salvation the climax of this world make us free make us free by blowing a chaar a banner to Proclaim that the Exile is finished take us from the cor four corners of the world and gather us into one place put us in is no more America no more England no more France no more Canada put us all is bring us to the end already why because once we get there you could then bring us the bed the sanedrin can be instituted the the beginning the whole thing restored the judges just like you had in the beginning time of mosenu was mosu was sitting initially but then he came to him and says M you can't do this by yourself it's not good for you it's not good for the people set up a s set up a court system which even the secular World uses till this day but a court system that's based on tah not a court system that wants to use wants to go to a civil court because we use this video on YouTube video that he's publicizing himself he just doesn't want anyone to know about it please Hashem bring us the righteous judges judges just like you had at the time of of David and scho remove for us all the sorrow and the groaning from the rule that we have from all of the other countries all the other kings whether it be Trump or Obama orama whoever it is we don't want their rules we want to him then we acknowledge the fact that this is really what you want AEM it's not just our will it's your will because why you are a king that loves Mercy who loves who loves and you love Mish you love the righteousness and you love judgment why right and wrong there's right and wrong there's no middle ground there right and that's wrong at the end of the day but how are we going to get ourselves to deserve all of this the most interesting one in my opinion is the next one says hem in order for us to really have a deserving opportunity to have you as our King to have you as our judge to have as everything have youash all the Heretics all the informers that take us to regular courts all of the informers that go to the secular people and go against the Torah they will have no hope all of the Zim all of the people that make sins on purpose they'll perish instantly all of your enemy all of your haters have to be cut down uprooted all of the evil has to be uprooted and broken down that's what has to happen and we pray for that every day you are the god you're the only one that can take them all down but why do we pray for it if he's the only one that can do it to show him we want it to show you are the only one that could do it but we want it we want all the sh to go away want all the missionaries to go away want all the idolatry to go away we want it you're the one that can do it but we want it that's what we pray for it what about the righteous help all the righteous all of the pious all the rest of their nation that even if they're not the most righteous and even know if they're not the most uh uh Pious but at least they're your nation they keep shabat they keep T they learn they're not just they're not the best but they're okay they're still your nation all of the righteous converts and us too why is it all the righteous converts and us too because I've told you many times we read from the rambam a righteous convert is considered higher than a natural born Jew give them all reward good reward why because they had be in you what's such a big deal of course if they're righteous and they're in this list do they have why do they have to get a reward for it because many of them suffered for having that it looked like they were losing for having sometimes you're the guy that has no everything's goingon to be okay and everybody makes fun of you whatever you everything's going to be okay you don't have a house you're still renting your kids have clothes that are ripped what be what's going on with you go get a job go do this go do that every made fun of you every day we pray to hm show the world that these righteous that have in you that kept your Tor to fulfill your T learn to day eight kids in a house living off for $1,500 or500 shekels a month and a miracle show the world they are right and not the guy that works on Wall Street not the guy that sells clothes show them they're the right ones why cuz they had in you enough they fulfilled your entire Tor and learned it day and night even though everybody else went against them bring us the bring the to your city just like you promised build the House of David soon in our days build y again we say bring bring bring the msia bring the salvation and after we've said all of this hopefully by now we're crying a little bit the next one should make us cry what do we say please hear our voice we're not just praying for not we're not just repeating this like robots we said all this with real we're real feelings AEM please hear this I'm not just sitting here just like reading it just because you know I don't want to the rabbi me for not going to sh please here what my requests I'm sincere I came with you with to hear what Amit accept our prayers with Mercy favor why don't leave us empty-handed don't let us pray and nothing happens because you are the only one that can hear our prayers who going to pray to the rabbis who going to pray to the wall Yos who going to pray to Statue you're the only one that our prayers where else we're going to pray please hasem be favorable to us to your nation you start praying for the nation of am Isel all of their prayers even if you hate the guy next to you he's part of you're praying for him too you have to be a special type of to take that out establish the BET mikdash again in Mercy even though again we're not exactly perfect but we're still your kids and we're still trying our best and we acknowledge that you you are the one and only and we thank you for it mod means we acknowledge means we thank now after you've done all of this and you tell that your name is good you're the ultimate source of good and it's fitting to thank you only why why thank you what else I'm going to thank everything I have is you then you ask hm to bring peace goodness blessing and so on and you tell hasem that everything that you said is true everything you said you felt please hasem guard my tongue from evil my lips from speaking if someone goes against me I'll be like dust let them walk on me why cuz it's coming from you anyway now what about something one time I had a guy tell me listen this guy in my shoe I was praying and he ran into me so is it okay I gave him my elbow and return it's okay Rabbi it's it's Mitzvah right what do you mean it's Mitzvah you just said you're dust you said you're dust you didn't finish the prayer you would you didn't you stop becoming Dust We Tell to find favor in all of our words because they're true if we don't mean our prayers it's no surprise he doesn't answer them now I know it's not exactly easy for you to have 100% kavana in every single one of our prayers Al we always have cavana in every prayer but that's what the is supposed to be here to help us with that by purifying our character traits and realigning our mind in such a way that we're constantly fixing ourselves to be in line with what hashem's will is that's ultimately going going to help our prayers too become the will of hasem too now the power of a prayer literally has no end because that's what a who decided to instill in the world many people fall into the Trap of going against hashem's will going against hashem's order because of the success that he gave them so many times you know people have a lot of faith in the army of Israel of America and they think that's what's defending us but if you look at all of Jewish history you see that all of that is complete heresy and bogus generally speaking we've always been alone we didn't have allies our allies ultimately turned into enemies whether it was Spain or the other countries or Germany we're allies at some point they welcomed us for a little point and then eventually they vomited us out people that think that's going to be different with America you're delusional there's a reason why all of these people that tortured us for the last couple of thousand years had a symbol of an eagle the Romans the uh the uh Nazis America there's a reason for that it's not a coincidence and many others doesn't mean they're bad now what it means don't rely on their protection further don't rely on the Israeli Army either because the time of go Magog and time of all the wars only thing we're going to have to r as now at the time of Yeshua Bon if you look at the book of Yeshua there was a obligation that we go into is and remove all of the Nations that are in it now one of the Nations that was in it was extremely powerful not only in weaponry and and and an ability but no one was able to enter their City because they had the greatest weapon system of all a good defense what's a good defense you can't enter period because they had seven walls surrounding the city seven enormous walls surrounding the city so imagine a wall starts from here end at the end of the room surrounding the entire city and then after you finally climbed this wall or whatever you did and you didn't get shot somehow what do you got to do do again another wall and then another wall and another wall and another wall seven times so they weren't worried so much of anybody attacking them but then they heard about am is this nation that was slaves for a couple hundred years roed in a desert for 40 years they're coming to take over and they got scared to says they got scared to death when the spies when the Jewish spies arrived over over there they found out that they're scared of the Jews how are you scared of them we're in a desert 40 years we don't have tanks nothing they're scared to death they don't know how but there's sudden fear in the enemy why put fear in them it's not logical for them to be afraid it's not logical for our enemies to be afraid of us but if you see different times decid for the enemy to not be afraid of Us and other times for them to be afraid of us yeah but they were greater they were more powerful they we system was greater they had they had a wall seven everything yeah but they were afraid of us it's like they already knew they lost the battle before they even started but how they have a 100 million people you got three people how are they going to lose the battle doesn't even make any sense if they all spit you all drown they're afraid why is the one decides if they're going to be afraid of you or not why because he uses them just like Pawns in a shakat in chess here they're afraid here they're not afraid here they're friend here they're an enemy decides how to use the go now is is commanded by to come in and take these people out because they didn't want to submit they didn't want to leave you got to destroy them yeah but how we going to enter we going to give us a special tankm you give us an angel maybe is gonna come with a kind of bazooka or something from like G maybe who knows something maybe is going to come to us with a sword take how we going to take seven walls before we even get to them forget about how we're going to fight with millions of people and we don't have that how we going to fight with them forget about that part how we're going to enter says what you know blow them they're going die yeah yeah turn down huh our blow they're going to die yeah that's how works you realize they're they're bigger than America right yeah you realize they have like you know weapons yeah yeah of course yeah you have a each one of you get a j store sells them for sometimes less than 100 bucks good now if Yeshua had even an ounce of sa like I'm joking an ounce of Doubt here do you think it would have worked it wouldn't have worked what did they all do they show up with cannons they show up with tanks no they showed up withar showed up withar they surround the entire city one next to the other everybody is hold hands hold hands no no no one line one like a little kid kids one line one line and the enemies are looking what are these crazy religious people doing what are these people doing look at his payers what's this thing in his head what is what is this thing why he has his hat what do they wear what do they have special weapon no no sir it's uh I think it's a horn of some goat they have goats with them what what are they doing now oh they're taking it out sir they're taking it out shoot no no no hold let's see what they do with the every they start Sur around the city and they stop nothing happens nothing happens they all leave all the Jews leave next day they come back yesu all around is surround the city with the horns uh sir uh Yus uh the these Jews are back with the horns again yeah okay let's watch them it's kind of fun no they stop finish they leave for seven days the going already laughing about what's going on with these people were they bored you know what happened though on the seventh day all seven walls were swallowed by the ground as if they're being pushed by a hand from Heaven into the ground and the entire country was conquered and destroyed in one day in one day with the horns with the right decided that the horn is going to work is going to work yeah but they had weapons they had who cares now is what every Jew must say I believe with 100% that this happened and can happen and will happen again we don't need no Iron Dome or no F16 or f45 or F for nothing we need a people think no but if I live here it's going to protect me and if I go here it's going to protect me biss that's what's going to protect you nothing unless you believe in a that's how it works that's Jewish history if you say you're a Jew you have to believe in this and you think this is the only example gon gon was the son of an idol worshipper generation of idol worshippers Jews Idol worshipping realize there's a mistake here we got to go battle the enemy gathered 30,000 men let's go fight take over take our country back hasem says to gon to too many people what do you mean hasm they have millions I only got 30,000 we're already relying on a miracle hasm says Noah 30,000 is too many but they have millions yeah yeah there too many already 30,000 it looks like maybe you guys are good Warriors so ask whoever's afraid go home hasem says G does okay whoever's afraid go home 20,000 leave 10,000 left against Millions Millions 10,000 left says still too many still too many still too many okay what do we do now take them to the lake have them go drink some water okay whoever bends down to drink the water send them home they go not 9,700 of them bend over to drink the water 300 get the pick up the water and drink it this way standing up send them home 9,7 can I keep the 9,700 send the 300 home no no send home 9,700 you have 300 it's a lot why why sending them home the ones that bent over to drink like a dog they're already used to kneeling they're all used to abar they have abar ingrained in them they don't have the Merit to fight this war 300 is still loyal still connect to still act like Jews they can fight the war and guess what 300 won the war easily against millions and this is our story time and time again one secular father one time lights the manora of a kanuka with his family and his young kid doesn't really know anything goes to public school doesn't know right or left about Judaism and he says ABA what is this kanuka thing and you know the ABA knew a little bit he doesn't keep Shabbat or anything but he knew a little bit he says oh kanuka is the time where the the mabes fought and we won who who they fight they fought the Greeks and uh ABA um these mbes what what were they like were they CU they were Jews oh like us you know not exactly like us a little you know not exactly like us similar and the Greeks what the Greeks are like bad they want to kill them that's what that's why they fought no not not exactly son the Greeks didn't actually want to kill them they just didn't want them to be religious they didn't want them to you know the history they they want they want them to read these books and stuff oh what happened then well you know there was a fight what happened before that well before the fight there was this guy Yuda makabi uh and he saw uh another uh Jew joining the Greeks by bringing a pig as a sacrifice to their Idol so you theab killed them says wait ABA uh you mean the pig like the white meat that IMA just bought from the supermarket that we ate for lunch yeah yeah yeah yeah but it's different that was a long time ago it's different times now you know things change son things change oh so wait so the makab were like fanatic Jews and stuff yeah yeah something like that yeah yeah yeah son yeah and the Greeks they wanted what like sports and things like that yeah so you agree with the Greeks no no son we're Jews wait so you you you want you agree with the fanatic Jews yeah kind of but we ate the pig though ABA yeah son it's complicated you know well let me ask you a question ABA no last one son if this makab Greek thing was happening right now which side would you be on go to your room son you're punished for a week no more questions right when you're not keeping to you start realizing your whole life is fake even the holidays you like are fake because they celebrate the war against you and your current status you see one of the biggest poisons that we have sometimes is that we lie to ourselves we lie to ourselves about what our status is and in the the weekly the says in regarding to chapter [Applause] the uh verse number 42 it says says that you shall dwell in the Suka for seven days every native in Israel will dwell in this so that your Generations will know that I caus the children of Israel to dwell I took them out of Egypt so ask wait a minute first he tells us the mitvah of sitting in a for seven days then he's telling us that uh so your Generations will know what's the connection s for seven days so your great great great great grandkids 3,000 years later are going to know he says you have to understand if you want your kid to be a real Jew and you want him to understand why the Su is the Suka and why the is the and why the Yum is the Yum you can't just tell them that on the day of the holiday you have to sit with them for seven days in the sit with him your whole life has to be consumed with this Mitzvah if your whole life is consumed with this mitvah then he'll remember this mitzvah for Generation after generation but if he's only finding out what mitvah we're doing and what we're doing here what we're doing there because the rest of our year we're living like go he's not going to know for Generations he's not going to know for Generations now Shalom was one of Theo one of the pioneers of American Judaism built Lakewood and when he was terminally ill his students went to the styp lagon in and asked the some questions said there are tens of thousands of people praying forler and he's getting worse we feel like our prayers are not being heard we're praying a lot and it's not being heard the ston says to them no no no no your prayers must be heard and must be answered but they may not be answered in your timing it may be answered next week or next month or next year or 10 years from now and if not in your lifetime your prayers will be answered for your kids but for sure they will be answered sometimes a mother cries for our kids when they're little and she thinks that something is supposed to happen some nothing happens but she doesn't realize that a takes that special prayer full of tears and puts it in the ground and he gives takes it out when it's needed later on and the kid is about to make the sin of his life with some non-jewish person and last minute last minute something happens to break that up why his mom prayed when he was 3 years old she was praying for to help her with P something for that month she was helping for to help in something says I like this prayer so much it's don't worry about this P stuff let me take this prayer why I'm going to put it in a safe you're going to need this prayer you're going to need this prayer I'm going to put it in a safe for a little while how long 20 years later 20 years later sometimes I see young guys come and say listen I'm already second third generation completely atheist secular family but I love your I'm doing complete CH just last week I had a handful of them second third generation completely reformed completely a completely nothing but the kid loves I want to eat your whole Tora I want to learn everything it's beautiful it's delicious Rabbi I'm doing CH already two three four five 6 months a year already I'm keeping Shabbat my parents can't stand it but I'm doing it what happened well how is this kid doing it his parents hate it his grandparents hate it how is he doing CH how is he doing chba because his grandparents parents they prayed and says Grandma I'm going to take this I'm put it in the bank I'll put it in the bank for a little while put it in a safe for you don't worry you're going to need it why your great great grandkid he going to need some help why it's parents are going to be completely off his grandparents are going to be even he's going to need it I'm gonna help him do chva I'm gonna help him do Chua that's how prayer works sometimes doesn't necessarily always answer our prayers right away but he always answers them and that's what the ran tries to teach us teach his son teach his descendants when we purify ourselves that means that we're purifying the words that are coming out of our mouth we are purifying our and we are making ourselves our fit to pray to B to pray to the King of Kings with a clean mouth there's a reason why it's Al it's an actual that you must wash wash your mouth in the morning before you pray to hem why it's not C for the for the king for you to talk to hm with filthy mouth you have to wash your mouth before you talk to hem needless to say you have to wash your before you talk to Hashem we have to do Chua when we talk to Hashem he says this letter you read it every day you're going to do chuva you like it or don't like it you're going to do chuva in the end why you read this letter enough times it's going to become part of you it's going to become part of you and that means that your prayers will become more pure your prayers are going to going to be more significant your prayers are going to be more welcome and when a person sees themselves becoming holy they could already be assured that now is treating them differently why because once a person has become a holy person a Godly person speaking to hasem with em becomes his nature and when someone speaks to hem with a with Holiness himself listens to him and answers that prayer will hear all of our prayers because we've made chuva because we're trying to do chuva because we're trying to get to do Chu because he's the only solution he's the only thing there is a gun Ed there is a ultimate reward waiting for each person that does chuva but there's not much material about it why we wouldn't understand it and the ramban writes the ramban himself writes in sh when it comes to the issue of geden it's impossible for us to understand it it's difficult for us to accept the details of ganeden therefore there's not much details so what do you do with those people just no I don't accept that answer I want more details Rabbi the ran says if those people who consider themselves wiser than the law of God find it difficult to accept that the soul is encompassed by place in lower ganeden meaning that you don't accept the minimal details you don't accept that there's lower there's the upper G and all the different things you don't accept it I want more he says we will answer them with the possibility that we have put before the teachings of ganeden the issues concerning the Sinners of G says if you don't accept the Torah and face value and then there's a reason why who limited certain information about reward you don't have to worry about the reward anymore there's a different section for you now when a person purifies their they don't have to worry about G they don't have to worry about ganeden and the reason why is because they start living ganeden suddenly your has it doesn't mean you become rich and you could start buying millions of dollars of stuff no it's just that your has what does having mean you have everything you you need your marriage has what does it mean you have marriage as your wife is the most beautiful woman in the world you're the most beautiful no it doesn't mean that it means that you're happy with what you have your children have what does it mean I have 500 kids no but whatever you have you're happy with what it is your kids are healthy your kids are in good shape your kids like tah your kids want to do what hasem says your kids have honor of the parents so yeah surely you're going to see sometimes the religious people that are righteous have a lot of money and sometimes have very little money everybody's got their own test but I promise you that when a person purifies themselves the Torah itself promises us that their life will be blessed but not just this life that's temporary for 70 years eternity you see the problem is that we invest all of our time into this world a person comes to this world and he works every single day for more stuff in this world so let's say you have the best career and you're making a lot of money and let's say You're Gonna live a hundred years so you made money and every week you're making money another 100 another 200 another million another two million and you're making money and you're making money and you got St stuff you got this building you got that building you got this house and that car and this watch and that watch okay now you're old already you don't even want to watch you know Drive these cars and go to these houses you're tired already what are you going to do with all this stuff yeah I have it you know Investments you know for a rainy day like a maul maybe but anyway you have all this stuff and you live your life and guess what one day you're G and all of the money that you've made and all of the work that you spent a hundred years gathering this stuff doesn't belong to you anymore can't take it with you anymore you show up the sh homeless why all of your toil was for this world a guy shows up to the and he says to them Rabbi I need a blessing to this to that you know I donate a lot of money system you know before we get the blessing and let's check something RAB what should we check let's check how much do you donate you know the guy is a little uncomfortable no no Rabbi don't I'm very generous Rabbi okay let's check let's sit down let's check how much do you donate he says Rabbi handsomely yeah I'm J okay how much let's just do the account says I donate one Ruble to 12 yes each gets one Ruble every year respectable no Rabbi says yeah respectable one Ruble for Yesa each year 12 respectable very nice ah okay so we want no no hold on one second before you move on your house I see is very nice the windows the window treatment that you have over there they seem to me a little different they're very luxurious how much do you spend on the window treatment that you have the guy gets red no R know it's expensive you know it's from Italy it's not a regular it's you know it's mesh with silk and this and it's special made take three years to me you know it's it's a okay but how much is it though how much what the whole thing no how much is just you know one window 25 rubles how many windows do you have six so you spent and wasted 150 rubles on this world and 12 rubles on the world that's for eternity and you expect the you see sometimes we think that we're doing a lot more than we are the message from every single one of the lectures of the 39 that we had Merit to learn with you that the ran is trying to teach us is to check ourself check ourselves carefully check ourselves daily we're not horrible and we're not even allowed to look at ourselves as horrible but also not as good as we think we are either if you're going to givea you're gonna give my make sure that you keep account that it's always up there why that's your investment fora you're working on your character traits don't only work on the easy things work on the things that are the most difficult you're learning your learning becomes easy pick up a notch stop just watching shim and start reading books too the important thing is to make sure that we're constantly checking oursel if we're checking ourselves on a daily basis little by little will become more purified little by little we'll become people that are becoming holy and when we pray to Hashem as holy people Hashem doesn't need any excuses to answer us Hashem answers us because we've already made the argument for ourselves that each one of us uses this series to learn how to sanctify ourselves to become to become closer to to influence ourselves our family our friends and even the strangers that are related to us some way or another because we're part of the same people and even the world around us of all the righteous Gentiles around the world that love AEM and just don't know what's right and what's left but need to direction we use the tools that the taught us and the sages taught us and that expects from us and we use these tools to get closer to hem to bring A's light to the world so when he's here it's a familiar light that we've thought about dreamt about wanted our whole life rather it's the first time we ever see it so we blinded we use the series we use the learning as a way to sanctify K's name as a way to get closer to to do so when sends us theia we are part of those that have been expecting him but most importantly doing something to bring him by sanctifying ourselves and the rest of our people amen amen [Music]
