So the show tonight here in Toronto where I'm here for the first time does all types of wonderful things for us does a lot of for us and he brought us to Toronto to see some dear to do some very important things and there's other we're going to learn together tonight's show is going to be for the and also for and and also for the girl that would disappear. What's her name? >> Ben and Bosa. There was a girl in Toronto that's >> Esting. can brings our home safe and sound and brings all of us back to him safe and sound after we've done cha after we've completed whatever we had to come for and uh we're going to learn something that I'm sure all of us have heard in our life but not like this why not like this because uh you'll see during the show how you will see that these things don't uh we have a certain Torah reality and we have the reality meaning that there's what we want that you know Torah tells us that we need to do and then there's just the world is that we live in years ago there was a ravi wasn't a mubal wasn't a cabalist but in his anytime he would collect money for you know either for to help the poor or anything like that it's always it's hard it's hard to collect money initially came to America to raise money for the k and I promise you it's not easy our organization raises money every year so we could help more poor people so we could publicize more Torah so we can do publish more books and give all this stuff for free that I'll show you later on. All these wonderful things. It's not easy, but there is a time that it's very easy to raise money. It's in this story. A few people come to the uh a couple of people come to the kaiman gangsters that are not Jewish and they have two Jewish prisoners with them and they uh come to the center of the tower and say where's the Rav here? They bring the Rav. Listen, we have these two Jews. Either you guys come up with $200,000 in those days in the next 24 hours or we're killing them. This is what we do. What are we going to do? Right away, the Rav says, "Okay, okay, okay. Just give us some time. Give us three days. Give us three days. Okay, you have three days." They leave. The Rav now starts going from place to place. Knocks on the door. Listen, it's the biggest mitzvah. You have to save these Jews. Okay, Rabbi. Okay. Okay. Fine. Fine. I need give me 500. 500. Why 500, Rabbi? 5,000. Oh, okay. He goes to the next store. Please. Please. You do. You do well. Please give me a,000. I need to raise a th000. Rabbi, why? Here's 10,000. Within a few hours, he raises all $200,000. Rabbi says, "Something's wrong here. It's not supposed to work this way. He brings his ka. He says, "Bring me the four strongest that we have in the ka. They bring the four strongest." Each one ate a few chulants right before he came there. He's got some extra strength. He says, "Listen, we're going to arrange the meeting with these gangsters. It's going to be in two hours. You already wait inside. As soon as they come in with the two Jews that they have hostages right away, jump on them and beat them up until they can't even talk anymore. You mean the goim? You No, no, no. The Jews too that they bring everybody. Rabbi, you okay? Everything okay, Rabbi? They did something? Just do what I say? Okay, the whole is confused. They have no idea what's going on. Anyway, they get to the place as soon as these gangsters come in with these two Jewish guys. Right away the four jump on them and gives them every under the sun every the whole thing. Eventually once the people realized that their scam is not going to work. What happened? He said stop it. Stop it. We're not even Jewish. We're not even Jewish. So now the ka is you have because I don't have. So how did you know they're not Jewish? How did you know the whole thing is a scam? He says because it's not easy and it's not supposed to be easy to save a Jewish if it's easy there's something wrong. Once it's easy there's something wrong. Why? because the Satan is fighting for every Jewish nama as if it's the last nama in the world. And that's really one of the things that most people heard about it, like to hear it, but don't exactly understand completely the significance of it. When we say never give up on any Jew, you say on one hand it's hard to save the Jews. On the other hand, he's saying, "Okay, wait. It's hard to say the Jews, but and don't give up. Great. But then you have that say there's a certain type of Jew, you're not even allowed to help him. So how could it all be? The has a statement from the where the say you have to be careful with the things you say or else you'll be decreed that you're going to go into exile and your students will end up be drinking poisonous waters and Hashem's name will be desecrated. So the explain what does this all mean? Says if they're not careful with what they say and how they say it, then their students are going to misunderstand what they said. And instead of learning about Torah, they end up learning heresy. They ended up learning the opposite of the Torah, which is poisonous waters. And Hashem's names gets desecrated. And what's what happens when people are not considering the fact that what you understand as somebody that learns Torah is not necessarily the same thing that somebody else is going to understand automatically. You have to explain it to people in the way that they understand in their language. There was a rabb that they asked how come the rabbi has a uh a uh account on Tik Tok account on Tik Tok. They say you're not supposed to go on Tik Tok and all the social networks. And he said that I'm in short and they asked Rab fry all the time. How come you're on Tik Tok? How come you're on YouTube? How come you're on Facebook? All these social networks that lives there. Why? And the Rav said a very good answer. He said, "Listen, I know that when I had my kids, I had to learn a new language, their language. They made a sound, I had to know that means aba. They made another sound and that I I knew that that meant they're hungry. They made another sound and that meant that they wanted to play something." I had to learn their language. And the same concept when it comes to helping Amistan, you have to learn their language. So if their language is in Tik Tok, we're going to go to Tik Tok. If their language is in Facebook, we're going to go to Facebook. If their language is to come to Toronto, we're going to come to Toronto. Why? We need to save. Now, why is it that most of doesn't even realize they need to be saved? Because most of is confused of what does it really mean? What does it really mean that I need to do? What does it really mean that I have to be? Is it enough that I'm wearing a ka? Is it enough that I'm just going to synagogue? Isn't it enough that I eat kosher food? No, it's not enough. Why? Because we have a mitzvah that calls all of responsible for each other. And that's one of the that's almost avah that people don't even realize they have to do it. Now the in page 86 says in the name of what does it mean when there is and he says when I'm walking around with no on that's and says what does it mean I mean people you don't have an obligation to walk with say no no in his level he had to walk around with so why didn't he walk around with if he knows it's oh because he was too sick he was sick and therefore not allowed to wear it. The certain sicknesses if it creates a a body that's not uh not uh clean, you're not allowed to wear it. So, but still we see that still says, you know, I'm sick. I'm an I don't have to wear but it's still why is because it's not based on what I know. It's not based on what knows is the truth. It's based on what other people see. The guy on the street sees oh he walked four steps with no okay so I'm just not going to do for four days. If he's allowed to not to walk around with for four steps then I must be allowed for four days. So now we see already that it's all based on how other people see things. Most people see that we have an obligation to help is dova. We have an obligation to help Jews that are poor. We have an obligation to do a lot of different things. But hopefully somebody else does it. You know, we all realize help is when is it? any type of October 7th somebody's missing anything there's unity everybody's united but when there's no somebody else is going to do it somebody else yeah we need to help somebody else can help them we need to feed the poor somebody else hopefully is going to feed them we need to help them do chv yeah I'm sure there's somebody that's worrying about that I'm sure somebody that's worried about helping people do chuva when do we start realizing maybe I need to do something when it comes home When somebody has a in his own house, when somebody in his house is off the when somebody in his house is married to a goya or a then we start realizing maybe I need to do something. But there is a type of person that is an exception. The stipon in the says that the were very very stringent on a rabbi that would teach aid meaning a it literally means an unfair student. Before we explain what an unfair student is just to understand what the stipler was saying here he says that the were stringent. What does it mean was stringent? The page 10 says that if you teach then you are at fault if he murders somebody in says if you teach aid it's like throwing a like you're doing abuaz Further the says says if you teach at the for sure the rabbi is going to get home. Wait but didn't you just tell me that you have to save every Jew and and everything they were responsible for? Are we responsible? We're not responsible. So can't we just say everybody's law good? No. Can we say that then nobody has no we have to help everybody also no lama is somebody that simply you teach him he watches a shora he watches a few you sit down with him whatever you can do to make him a but he just doesn't want to change you tell him listen you know Shabbat if you violate Shabbat in Torah says 12 times Shabbat loses all these horrible things. You realize it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I realize it. You don't want to keep Shabbat. No, I'm not interested. Okay. Next week you try again. You try a few times. You try for a while. The guy doesn't want to change. No. No. I still want to eat pork. I still want to go and do I still And in fact, you start seeing that this person, not only is he not changing, he starts using what you're teaching him against the Torah. say you are now forbidden from helping this person. You can't help him. Helping him is like doing Abu D. So now the stipler says what is the thing that we learn here? Because we live in a world of stigmas. We live in a world where everybody likes to put people in boxes. Oh. He is. He is Sat. He is Safari. He is. He is. He is. He is this. Everybody likes to put everybody in boxes. Everybody's in a box. Little boxes. Everywhere. Boxes. Everybody wants to put everybody in a box. He's not religious enough for me. He is too religious for me. He is fanatic. He is extreme. He is uh you know uh nothing. When it comes to helping is the says you can't just put people in boxes and decide I'm not going to help anybody or I'm going to help everybody first. You have to know what the said make him a first try. Don't decide just by looking at him. You saw him driving on Shabbat. You saw him hanging out with a bunch of idol worshippers. You saw him doing all types of horrible things. Don't already decide, no, no, he's not going to do cha. This guy's going to do chbah. this guy's gonna keep Shabbat. This guy's a himself. This guy's This guy's This guy's bad. This guy's terrible. How do you know? How do you know? Just because you looked at him. You looked at him and that's that's it. You can already see the future. Even though prophecy stopped 2,000 years ago, apparently it started again with you. You already know what he's going to decide. You know what he can handle, what he can't handle. How do you know? I used to have when I used to have an office on Wall Street, I used to have different rabbis come to my office. Almost every single day for nearly 16 years, people would come to my office and not a single time did anybody ever tell me to keep Shabbat and anybody tell me that I have a life that's the opposite of the Torah. But they were very good about asking for that apparently is the that's even for the even the has to do that. But keeping Shabbat, not so much. Intermarriage, not so much. Kosher if it's possible, but not so much. Nobody cared enough about the nish of what's going to happen to it after I leave this world. Why? Because most people assumed, listen, this guy, he's in his 20s. He's making millions of dollars. If I tell him to keep Shabbat, he's not going to keep Shabbat. They already decided that I'm not going to do it. They already decided that I'm not going to keep. They already decided that whatever they're going to tell me, I'm not going to do it. Now, I can't tell you for sure that I would have done it. But I do know for sure I'm pretty good at math. It's at least a 50% chance. At least a 50% chance. How? There's two answers. Yes or no? Once they decided for me that I'm not going to do it, they already absolve themselves from the responsibility of telling me. They said, "Listen, this guy, he makes uh millions of dollars. If I tell him to keep Shabbat, he's not going to do it. So why would I? I'm going to get him mad. And if I get him mad, he's not going to give me taka. If he doesn't give me taka, then I'm going to pay the rent. I'm going to buy the car. I'm going to go help this one. I'm going to help all the other people that are already doing. So, might as well get from him. Whatever happens to him happens to him, but at least he did a mitzvah. At least somebody else benefits. This is not what Hashem wants. This is not what Hashem wants. Hashem does not want any of us to decide who can and who can't. One of the things that I tell my Tom all the time when they try to arrange for shim. I told him listen over the last few years I already decided I don't want to do shu I don't want to do shim at synagogues. I don't want to do joint ventures with other organizations. Not because I have anything against anyone. I just don't have the patience for the politics that it comes with all the politics. We have over 200,000 people in 16 different languages following us. So I know that helps us. I know that sent people that do like my stuff. Now, there's 8 billion people. So, we're still working towards that target, but 200,000 are already there. So, you can't tell me that I'm going to come to a place nobody's going to show up. But I do know that anytime somebody wants to arrange a shoe, all of a sudden, all of the politicians come out. Yeah, but maybe it's too extreme. Oh, but maybe it's too fanatic. Oh, but maybe it's too this. Maybe it's too that. What to that? What am I telling you? Am I telling anyone here something about Christianity? Am I telling you about Catholicism? Am I telling you about Buddhism? What am I talking telling you? Torah. Not in inventing anything. No. But what happens? They decide that their community can't handle it. It's like there's a Torah, but this chapter that he's going to talk about, the community can't handle it. This chapter, this we just we passed it already a few weeks ago. They can't handle it. They can't they decide already for the community that they can't handle and this is why there is so much intermarriage to the point where it's become standard in western society there's over 85 some people say over 90% intermarriage Jews already started getting to a point where it's perfectly normal for them to marry go they do not see any problem with Jews have no problem intermaring. They also don't have any problem in doing things that are against the Torah. Even if they wear a keepa, even if they have a beard that's double the size of mine. There's all types of businesses that unfortunately many Jews are in that are corrupt, predatory businesses. But if you walk into the office, it looks like a k. It looks like everybody's a rabbi, but the business destroys its customers. One of them that I've spoken about many times over the years is called cash advance. This is a business that destroys its customers. This is a business that has destroyed amquisition holocaust. Number one business before that is this particular business called something else. It's in so many words lending money with high interest to go. Lend the money. The wants 100,000, 200,000, 500,000. No problem, Mr. We'll lend you whatever you want in 24 hours. We're just going to charge you 400%. Which means that the guy has to win the lotto twice just to pay the money back. Not once. Once is not enough. Once he just breaks even with the with the, you know, the principle, by time the the the interest gets added up 150, 200, 300, 400%, some cases 4,000% later, he has to the 100,000 turns to 4 million. Why is it a problem? It's a You're not allowed to be a predator. You're not allowed to hurt people. There's no permission from to cause people destruction. Tawa is good to anybody. is human. Who created the What did the did the satan create the Did the who created the Akadosh. Some go some goim helped more than Jews did. And even turned some of them into prophets. Vadia the prophet. Job was a prophet. There's no permission for us to just hurt people just because of the same religion with us. In fact, the Rambam says to steal from a is worse than stealing from another Jew. Why? If you steal from a Jew, then the Jew says you're a bad guy. When you steal from a guy, he says all Jews are bad. meaning you have just been a representation of the entire which says this is says there's one sin you can't fix in this world you could kill somebody you could uh steal from somebody you could do a lot of horrible things and do for them there's one thing you can't do what fixem why that the person has to die before he can start fixing it now the m says that you could do something to do the opposite What? That will hopefully give you enough credit from theem to fix theem. Either way, when a Jew starts looking at society as if everyone is an animal except me, we have a problem. So even if somebody wears a keepa, even if somebody has a nice beard or she has a mit, hopefully not a beard, you know, the reality is we want to make sure that it's not just the looks. We're not uh, you know, people in Africa walking around with no clothes on and and and screaming with spears and we're just like that just because we grew up this way. We have to obviously know what it says. So the step says listen we have a we have an obligation to help say all of responsible for each other but there's an exception who is the exception the person that is meaning that he uses the Torah to go against the Torah he comes to the sh to learn what the rabbi says so he could tell everybody else after everything is over no that one it's wrong. That one I heard something else. That one confuse everybody. There's all types of people that sometimes that's what they do. They try to confuse the public. So if it's somebody like that, we can't help them. Everyone else, you have to help. So what does that mean? That means that all of the stigmas that we have in our in the stereotypes that we have in our mind that this guy, he's not from my so I don't have to help him. And this guy is come on. No, he's practically a And this one he's a b chuba bal chuba can can anything good come out of a b chuba and this guy is akenazi I'm safari and this guy is safari and I'm akenazi come on he's a half Arab what am I talking and this one everybody has a stigma everybody has these stereotypes they give to everybody else no one likes anybody no one likes anybody and that's what happens all of this has to go in the garbage all of these stigmas all of these stereotypes All of this his is good his idol worshipers mine is all of that stuff has to go into the garbage. Why? So long as we continue that first of all the beta mikdash will continue being destroyed every single day the bet is not built say it's because if it was here it would be destroyed meaning if the bet mdash anybody check the news bet no what does it mean it means that if the bet mdash was here today will be destroyed again today one of the reasons is all the fake all the fake love is but not you know you know like my I love but the ones that look like me. I love the Jewish people that are I love I love No, all that stuff has to go in the garbage. All of that has to go into the garbage because it's destroying and the biggest thing that it's destroying it's destroying Kiru. It's destroying the possibility of helping people do cha. Why? Because that is a very ugly version of the Torah. When a person that has a keepa, has a has the look of a Jew does not want to help his fellow Jew because he doesn't look like him, that's a very ugly religion. That's a very ugly version of the Torah. And it's not the Torah. If you're only willing to help somebody that's not like you, that's just like you, that's not help. That's business. So what this type of is saying here the specifically said there is a type of Jew you're not allowed to help and if you help him it's like idol worship if you help him you go to gome and if you help him it's terrible but that is just a small exception that's a person you tried to help him you made him a and after you put all the effort into him he still went against okay him throw him in the garbage Everybody else, you have to help them. The one that looks like you and the one that doesn't look like you. The one from your ka and the one from your competitor's ka. It's your competitor. The one from across the street and the one that's inside your house. You have an obligation to help them. Because if you don't help them, who's going to help them? And we can't keep saying somebody else, somebody else, somebody else. You know what happens when somebody says somebody else somebody else? Hashem sends something shalom to the person's house. So now he says, "Oh, would somebody else help him too?" And it's inside the house. There's no house that doesn't have a dead body that could every house has somebody that's either intermarried or somebody that wants to be intermar stealing or somebody that's doing this or somebody that was a he and now he wants to be a she and she was a she and now she wants to be a he. There's confusion everywhere. Why is bringing everyone different things to make everybody realize if we don't start getting our act together and stop separating ourselves with all these different stereotypes and stigmas and everything else, then we ruined everything we built. It took us 2,000 years to finally have what we believe is freedom. What we believe is freedom. For 2,000 years, we didn't have much freedom. Today, we have like sort of freedom. As long as we stay out of the news, which is almost impossible, we have freedom. The second we're on the news, it's going to be a bad week. Every day there's something somebody's on the news, the rest of us have to suffer. So now, the biggest stigma is not Whether you're Safari or Ashkanazi, it's not whether you are a man or woman. Even it's about whether you are fanatic. They call extreme or fanatic. That's a new stigma. Now, even though the says the only way to succeed in Abu Datm in learning Torah is if you're fanatic. But somehow over the last 50, 60 years, the word fanatic or extreme has turned into a bad word when it comes to Torah. Oh, he uh he he's fanatic. He's too religious. What does that mean? He's too religious. What? He keeps two religions. He's too religious. He has two religions. No, no, no. He just each what? What does he do? He keeps all the laws or he doesn't keep the laws. What does he what makes him too religious? No, he's he just says that what does he say? He says stuff that's in the Tawra. He says stuff that's in the Quran. No, he says everything that's in the Torah. So that makes him too religious or that makes him religious. What's too religious today? If you say the truth, you're too religious. If you say what says you're too religious. If you tell somebody, listen, as long as you drive on Shabbat, even if you're driving to synagogue, you're considered a According to the Torah, we cannot use you in a Jewish ceremony. If, let's say, you have a family member that wants to get married, they need witnesses. You cannot be one of the witnesses. Why? Because if you t touch if you touch wine that's not that's we can't drink that wine anymore. We can't use you as a witness. Why? You're considered like an idol worshipper. Oh, it's offensive. I didn't make it. You have a complaint. Go talk to Oh, you're fanatic. But I didn't write it. I'm just informing you. I'm only telling you what's written you. Apparently, you didn't read it. Guess what? I didn't read it either for most of my life. Eventually when I read it, I realized, oh wow, according to Torah, I was going for for a long time. I didn't even realize. I thought I was Jewish this whole time. I thought I was Jewish the whole time. But apparently the Rambam says in Shabbat, the last chapter 30, the last 16 that a Jew that violates Shabbat is considered going he's considered like an idol worshipper. If you ask people, religious people is a Shabbat. It's it's the same thing as everybody else. 99% of them will tell you there's no difference. 99. If you tell people say, "Is it true that a is considered like a Hashem loves all the Jews? Everybody is the same. He just happens to be." So the Rambam didn't know what he's talking about. The doesn't know what he's talking about. in in at least seven different places doesn't know what it's nobody knows what he's talking about except most people do not know and one of the reasons is because one of the stigmas that's out there that's aside from safari and eskenazi and all the other goodies is being too religious being a fanatic being extreme but the reality is just like the said if you're not going to be extreme meaning extremely honest, extremely dedicated to extremely committed to the truth, then all we're going to do is give ourselves and other people excuses to never change. Because if I'm going to start making exceptions, who I'm going to tell, who I'm not going to tell, then it's going to be like my case where they come to my office and say, "Listen, if I tell him, maybe he's going to like it, maybe he's not going to like it, but if he doesn't like it, I'm going to lose money. I'm not going to get the donation. So for him, let's put him aside and not tell him." And then the other ones, yeah, it's a family member, but listen, it's a family member. I only see him once a year. I'm not going to tell him now because if I tell him now, maybe it's going to be an argument, so I'm not going to tell him. And you start making exceptions in every part case possible and you end up simply not doing anything about it. Why? Because we have already decided what people are going to think. So this whole extreme mentality is also when I tell people listen instead of you saying anything to your family member to your friend to your cousin to your neighbor let me do it. Now I don't have time to call anybody but we have thousands and thousands of shim online. All you got to do is take one of those shim, take the link, send it to them. People send videos every single day. Now if they are come from a house that doesn't have a uh internet, perfect. Why? We also have a device for them. We took 19 hours of the best films that we've made over the last 10 years and we made it into a tablet with some songs and some uh music and of course the movies part of them make you happy and inspired. The other one scares you to death. It's a combination. Now this all of these this we have a list of different great rabbis that support us publicly. Some made letters for us. Some made videos for us. The point is we do this to help do we have these little this movie this movie has reached probably close to 20 million different people literally there's over 20 million different views in different languages this app over here is a rabbi takes all of those shim that we have thousands and thousands of shim and anybody has any question about anything in regards to life not just Judaism anything in regards to life asks this app and you get an answer legitimate answer with sources I am sure that if you guys have gone anywhere a restaurant, you've probably seen one of these cars next to the bathroom. We've distributed hundreds and hundreds of thousands of these for free. These are our And don't worry, we're not extremists and Ashkanazi both sides. In the beginning, we had one side. So, hey, hold on a second. Why you only have Safari? I said, you're right. I said, you're right. New order, but sir, you just ordered 15,000. Yeah, I need to order 40 more thousand. Okay, what's the other one going to be? I said, it's going to be both. And then another 100,000. Then another 100,000. We keep ordering more and more and we come in nice little packages. Why? Why do all of this stuff? All the stuff costs money. Cost millions of dollars. and we distribute all of it for free. This is the exception where we sometimes try to sell it cost a little bit more money but in general most of the time we end up giving it for free like these are going to end up being given for free. Somebody Hashem will send us somebody to pay for it. Why? Why do all of this? Because I tell people all the time, listen, you need to do kiru but you don't know how to do it. You need to tell somebody to do chuva but you don't know how to do it. You don't know how to talk or you don't know how to communicate or it's just too close to home. You're not comfortable telling your brother that uh he's not doing good when it comes to Hashem. You're not comfortable telling your cousin that uh he's not exactly going to gend. You're not comfortable telling people in your life that listen in order to be you actually have to wear clothes. You're not comfortable and the rabbi is not comfortable. Why? I'm going to tell the of the sh the president of the synagogue that his wife has to wear clothes and this they're all laughing because they know it's all true. It's happening everywhere. The board of directors usually is not very religious somehow. I don't know why board of directors of synagogues apparently you do not have to be religious. So now all of this is true. I'm not making up any of it. It's all coming from legitimate stories and that's why they're all laughing because it's all happening everywhere. Just I'm saying what everybody thinks. In order for us to actually help everybody, we have to remove that discomfort. How do we remove that discomfort? You can't expect people to all of a sudden start telling all of their friends, you need to do this, you need to do this, you need to do this. I tell them, listen, let me do it. How? Get them this stuff. Get them the shim. Send them the link for free. Get them one of these Kiru boxes. Get him one of these cards. Get him. We have We've published over 40 different books. We've distributed 360,000 books for free. Go buy a blank notebook. A a blank notebook cost you at least a few dollars. 360,000 books for free distributed all over in Canada, in in Israel, in America, in other Australia. We've had we've even had people in Africa in South Africa get books and distribute it for free. Why? Because the way we look at it is that if we don't do it, who's going to do it? When it comes to books, it's good if you sell it. People like to sell things. But if I wait for everybody to buy 360,000 books, I'm going to Mashiah is going to come twice. So, it's better to just give it at a better price. What's the best price? Free. Free is the best price. Everybody likes free. No negotiation. Even sometimes they ask me, "Do I have to pay for shipping?" I said, "No, not even that. We pay for shipping also. As long as it's in the US, we pay for the shipping." Now, this is connected. What people like to say, wait, how could it be that you're distributing all this stuff for free? You're giving all this stuff for free, but yet on the same token, there's the people that say it's extreme, it's fanatic. So how could it be that on one end there's the people that are against and they call extreme and fanatic and there's the people that are for that are laughing are enjoying the sh that get stuff distribute it donate help or even just simply learn with us. How how could it be two different extremes? That's because virtually all of the people that decide to put anybody in a category of extreme have never actually seen anything that they do. They decide that he is fanatic, that he is extreme, not because they actually watch the because they heard somebody say, "No, no, I I don't like what he said." What did he say? I don't know. He just said, "I I don't like And they just eventually what happens is that continues and people just decide this is not good. And that's exactly what the Satan wants us. He wants us to all live a life where the truth is not available unless you find it yourself. And that's one of the wars we have to fight in this generation. We have to fight for the truth. The truth is readily available. Every para has it. Every real see has it. It's available everywhere. But it's hidden under a bunch of lies. There's a lot of lies out there. There's a lot of heresy out there. There's a lot of things that are the opposite of the truth. And really, you have to have either extraordinary extraordinary blessings from Hashem to be able to find the truth or dedication. So when it comes to those people that hear that someone is extreme, that someone is fanatic, there's one simple solution for them. Have them actually listen to one shaw. You say, "I'm extreme." No problem. Did you ever hear one one full sh? Usually my shim are usually about two hours. Some a little longer, some a little shorter. If you really want a long one, we have every we do about nine hours straight. If you want short ones, then usually you know the introduction to are usually about an hour, hour and a half. So whichever one you ever actually hear a whole sh No, I never How do you know it's extreme? How do you know it's it's it's too how you don't know? The beautiful part is in most cases the minute that a person hears what we say it's like wow I like this guy and they become a fan and they become a and they start realizing this is not so bad after all in fact I even like it and they start changing and they start doing chuva and they start realizing that all of this stuff I need it I need it in my And on them said in that after you pull me, I'm going to run after you. After you pull me, I'm going to run after you. Wait, but if you wanted to run after me, why do I have to pull you? Because that's the way it is. says to us, "I know my stubborn kids. I know my stubborn kids. This one wants to go that way. That one wants to go this way. I know them. They want to run. They want to run differently. So, what do I got to do? I have to pull them. I have to give them something that's going to bring them in. After I bring them, they see the light of the Torah, they see the truth, they see the they're going to run after me. They're going to come. They're going to want the Tawat. They're going to come run to shu. They're not going to run away from shu. The reason why you have so many people running away from shu, so many people running away from to so many people running away from what the truth is is because they haven't seen the light. They've seen the they've seen the they've seen the all the stigmas. They've seen all the things that nobody here likes. There's not one person here and I don't know all of you and most of you I don't even know but there's not one person here that doesn't have a story that's sticking in their mind that's something that bothered them about the ka about the community somebody did something to somebody else anytime I bring up a topic I bring up a a kosher kash topic everybody has a story about that's bad I bring up the topic of synagogues everybody has why why is it that why is it that way because most of us want to try to fit in, get through it, survive, and move on. But that's not working. Why? Because this version that we have right now is keeping us separated. Most people are not comfortable helping somebody that doesn't look like them. Most people are not comfortable doing things that they're supposed to be doing. And anytime you tell them, "Listen, but maybe you should listen to this rabbi because he says the truth. Maybe you could share it. Oh, maybe he's extreme. How do you know? So, the told us a very, very simple solution. We have to help all of there's no more of this. I'm only going to help people from my There's no more I'm only going to help Safari people. There's no more I'm going to help only the Yemenes. There's no more these are bad and these are good. There's no separation with the one exception which is Lagun. That's the one. That's the one person you're not allowed to help him. Everybody else you have to help. How do you help them? Simple. Bring the truth to them. And today with all the technology that provided us is a very very easy way to do it. Some people do it by giving out these cards. Some people do it by sponsoring them. Some people doing it by simply taking their phone that they use anyway. Copy the link, send it to a friend once a week. They send it to somebody twice a week, once a day. Some people do it for five minutes a day and they send it to everybody they know. Some people do it uh, you know, a half hour a day. I even have some volunteers that they made this almost like their second job. But everybody, if everybody would actually start sharing the truth of the Torah, then we can actually finally get somewhere. Then we can finally start seeing is become more united and not necessarily just uh in our own backyard. Baku says to Navi that I will give my children ropes to pull the weight so that the father will be able to pull his son. What does this mean? Knows that we need help. He knows what he created. But sometimes we look at the help with confused eyes. About 25 years ago, my Rabbi Fraim went to and over there he saw that there was a Brazilian family came to the Kevl to tourists and the head of the family was this older guy and he had a rope in his hand and the end of the rope was connected to a little kid. So he was like pulling the kid. Kid would run different places. The rope would end. He would come back, run to different places like a almost like a dog leash. It wasn't around his neck. It was around his body. When my RV saw this, he didn't like it. What is a dog? He's a child. It looks weird. Why you Why is there a rope tied to a kid? until he looked into it and he found out that people in Brazil started a new thing to protect their kids. There's been a lot of kidnappings. People were kidnapping kids in different places. So the parents said the only way we could ever go outside with our kids is if we could try to take as much protective measures as possible. From now on, every parent was walking around with their kids with a leash. So at least if somebody grabs them, at least we have something to defend ourselves. So says, "Now I realize is a blessing. It's good." Why? It's the circumstance they live in. The same thing says to says, "I'm going to send my kids a heavy rope and pull them." Now, it doesn't sound so good here. Why? Why do you have to send us a heavy rope? Because sometimes when we look at things from the outside, it doesn't look so good. But we realize the intention behind it, we realize the intention behind it is good. We realize, wow, this is actually a blessing the whole time. The same thing that comes when you're actually teaching the Torah without sugar coating it, without changing it, without customizing it, simply telling people this is what said no more, no less. It's not my opinion. It's not your opinion. It doesn't matter if I agree. It doesn't matter if you agree. I'm simply giving you information. Do whatever you want. That's the biggest you can do. Why? Because that means you're not deciding for anybody what they can and they can't handle. And also it means that you're not judging them. And that's one of the things that I explained to one of my students just a few days ago. We had a long talk about how things work. Explain to them one of the beautiful things that people get wrong when they see lectures or they see a video and people cut it in a certain way but it seems like you're judging the whole world is that it's the opposite. We don't judge anybody. I tell people all the time, if I can do chuva, anybody in the world can do cha. Meaning, I don't care what you've done. For sure I I made more problems than you did. I wasn't exactly a thief. I wasn't exactly a murderer. But I know that when it comes to I had all the excuses in the world not to do it. So if I could do it, you can do it. So when I say to you, when I say to you there's g when I say all these different things, it's not because it's my opinion, it's my ideology, it's simply because that's what's written. And I don't know which part you're gonna like or not like, but it doesn't matter to me. I'm providing you information. You do whatever you want with it. So now when a person comes and I see that there's somebody that's in a crowd that's not or somebody that's in a crowd that's a uh doesn't keep or somebody that's not that's intermarried or whatever other things that and we say this in that's not because we're judging them for being what for doing what they're doing. We're simply informing them this is what Tawa says. No just because I informed them doesn't mean they're going to listen. So they come back a week later and they haven't changed. So what do we do? We say it again. We say it again and again and again. We're not judging them. We're simply informing them. And guess what? When a person hears the same thing over and over again, eventually it clicks in. Eventually it's like, "Oh, you know what? Maybe I should keep Shabbat. Maybe I should stop stealing. Maybe I should start being honest. maybe I should do when they start hearing the things over and over again because no one is getting in the way of the truth then it starts to work and starts doing cha that's what it means when au says I'm going to throw a rope a heavy rope to my children that's what it means the rope is heavy because the emit the emit is very different than what we think we live in almaika we live in a world of lies so when a person is first introduced to the truth, it seems like it's too big. It seems extreme. It seems fanatic. But once they start hearing it again and again and again and it's realizing this is not even a kush. This is not a new insight. This is not a unique lesson. This is the standard. This is what it says all the time. And they start realizing, wow, maybe it's not so heavy. Maybe I can really do it. and people start changing. So the beautiful thing about the Torah is that you have to protect it. You have to protect it just like you would protect a king. when it comes to the truth's signature is the truth and we have to protect it because that's in essence that's what the difference between to give you an example of what the truth looks like to a person of truth there was one of the great rabbis in the past generation there was when he was when he was first made into a he was invited into a very very fancy Jewish wedding that was by a oligarch person that's you can't just say they're rich to them being rich is poor they are much more than rich they control like countries practically and was invited to one of these weddings the guy I believe was Kafkazi and they have their own cultural things that they do at the weddings and one of them was they do this dance and then they throw a bunch of money on the floor on the people or whoever it is. Now again, when it's a regular wedding for a normal person, they throw maybe singles, a dollar, $2, $20, $100 once in a while, a few hundred. Let's say you can have a few thousand there. But when it's an oligarch wedding, a few thousand dollars is poverty. They were throwing bundles. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were being thrown on the floor. Bakshi Don came brought one of his helpers. So his goodbyes love. Nobody's picking it up. You know how many people it could help? How many poor people it could help? None of these people are going to pick it up because to them in their eyes whoever picks it up is like a you know like me scanned like a poor guy. But we don't care. Let's help the people. We can buy I can at least pick up with just one scoop. I can pick up $200,000 says to them that we desecrate the Torah by making the appearance as if we're poor, as if we don't need. What about the money? Bah will send the money will send the money. Why? Because you have to honor the Torah in a certain way. You have to honor the truth in a certain way. The same exact thing happened with in a different way. He came to visit Los Angeles and there was a wealthy Jew that uh had a big big problem in his house. He invited the Rav. The Rav came and the guy lived in a huge mansion 1020 million mansion and told him for I'm willing to write you a check for a million dollars or $3 million. I'm not sure of the amounts but it was seven figures right now if you can convince my son to call off the wedding that he's going to marry this non-Jewish woman. He already has a wedding planned. He's dedicated. I tried talking to him. The other rabbis tried talking to him. He doesn't want to listen to anybody. He is ready to marry this non-Jewish girl. If you can convince him, I'll write you a check right now for seven figures, millions of dollars. Moda says, "Where is he?" Says he's in one of the bedrooms, you know, room number eight. It's like a hotel. The house room number eight. The Rav gets up. He goes there. 20 minutes later, the Rav comes out with the kid and the kid is hysterical crying. Hysterical crying. Runs to his Abba. Abba, I'm sorry. I called it off. I already called her. I canled it. I'm sorry. I put you to all this problems. Hamsh like miracle of miracles. The father is the happiest person in the world. And right away he writes the check. Thank you. Here you go. Says to him, "That's your money. No, thank you." The guy's confused. Maybe it's not to give it to the Rav. So, he gives it to the Gabby. They go outside and uh looks at his and he sees there's like a smile on his face. Why are you smiling? He says, "No, we're going to be able to do so many good things now." What do you mean? He says, "With this $3 million that we have right now, we could build another this. We can do." He goes, "You took the money. Told him." Yeah, he gave it to me. Well, what's the problem? Give it to me right away. Takes the check. walks back to the house, knocks on the door. Oh yes, yes. What can I do? You need more. This is yours. And he gives him back the check. Says, but why? Why not? I mean, even if you say you don't want to do it for for for something, it's still you have a lot of things you can do with it. He says to him, "If I did what I did in order for it for it to be money, it wouldn't work. It wouldn't work if you do kiru for the sake of making money. If you do kiru, if you tried to help people do chuva for the sake of being popular, for the sake of making money, for the sake of being profitable, guess what? It's not going to work." Why? Because in order for it to work, you need a to make a miracle by changing a person's heart. His whole life, he thought what he knew is true. You need to change his mind. He believes for 20, 30, 40 years, he believes that everybody is the same. That Jews can marry Gentiles. That uh you're allowed to steal. That you're allowed to do whatever you want. and you're now coming to him and says, "By the way, Khabibi, uh, you can't do that." And you go try doing it. You say, "Listen, thank you for telling me no, but mind your business. It won't work." You tell your friend, "Listen, by the way, I saw you drive on Shabbat. You should stop driving." Listen, you don't like it. Don't look at me. I didn't offer you a ride. Who are you to tell me? So when you try it without it doesn't work most of the time. Why? Because sometimes a person tries to help another because of a personal interest. So says if you want it to help and you want that help to work it has to be simply because you want to do good because it's good to do good. You want to be an aid. You want to serve Hashem. You want to bring his children back. Why? Because it's the greatest thing in the world to do. Not because they're Ashkinazi. Not because they're not because they're not because they're Yemenes. Not because they're Ethiopians. Not because they're from your or from your enemies or from that or that. No. Not because of any of those reasons. Because he or she is a child. That's why once you have a perception that's limited that secludes into a little group, guess what? Your is not going to help anybody. Your kiru, it won't even help you. Maybe you'll be profitable. Maybe you'll make money. Maybe will donate millions of dollars to you. But as far as changing the shamote, it won't work. Why? Because you need to see you need to actually have a bahu make a miracle. The say that when a kadosh took us out of Egypt, he had to make a super miracle. There's a miracle and there's a super miracle. What's a super miracle? Am got to a point where they believed that they were created to be slaves. Meaning they could not see themselves as anything but slaves. had to make a super miracle. Not only a miracle to get them out of Egypt, but get them to a point where they change their nature. They no longer see themselves only as slaves. If a bahu doesn't get involved, if he doesn't send us the rope, we can't do anything. So, the beautiful thing is is that already tells us ahead ahead of time, I'm willing to send you the rope. I sent you the rope. But in order for it to work, you have to remove all of the stigmas. You have to remove all of those different stereotypes. You have to remove all that and simply help is in any way that would work. Whether it's a shield at the back of the building or it's a shield at the Teddy Stadium or it's a online or it's by these different things or these different things. Whatever it's going to be, just do it. Because right now we're at a time where most of does not really know what the truth even looks like. Even if they look just like me, even if they look just like you, even if they look like anybody else, the looks are very, very deceiving. And if every single person here thought to themselves, you know what? I do every day. I pray every day, three times a day. I uh do this, I do all the good you do. That's not what we're talking about. One thing that I do want every single person to least think is how can I take upon myself to help is not the ones that I know only, the ones I don't know. The Jew that lives in Los Angeles that I'll never meet. The Jew that lives in New York that I'll never see and never even hear about. How could I help him? How could I help? How could I help? This is what every single person should think about. What you do with that decision? That's up to you. Because if every person started thinking, I need to do something. I need to do something about the fact that there's over 80% intermarriage. I need to do something about the fact that most Jews do not learn Tawa on a regular basis. I need to do something about the fact that there's a lot of crime even inside our own communities all types. I need to do something about it. There's a reason why is tormenting the from community more than he is tormenting the nonfr community. Look what's happening in Is the government has declared war against the Torah. Shouldn't that be the one place that should be protected? They're learning Torah for heaven's sake. Shouldn't that be the one place that it's nobody touches it, but they're suffering more than everybody else? Why is the Torah world suffering so much that the government is taking away money from them? They're throwing them in jail. They're beating them up. Every bad thing they can do, they do worse than what the Nazis is in some cases. Why? Why? Why? Why are they beating up women in the middle of the street? Religious. That's it. That's enough to beat her up. Why? Why is Hashem allowing the Torah world to suffer so much? I am not a prophet, but I can tell you that it the picture is very clear. If the Torah world does not see the non-orah world, the secular world, the kilon world, the less religious world as Jews also that we need to help them too. Then guess what? Who needs the Torah world? That's what the says in Shabbat. That's what the says in Shabbat before decided to destroy the mikdash, he told the go and put a sign on all of the religious people to touch. Why not? actually told one of and the Malik went to do it. But then the Malik came, hold on a second, Hashem, why'd you put the signs, the tap on their heads, because they're religious, they didn't do the sins. Says, "No, no, no. Hashem, if I'm not mistaken, you have a one of the 613 that's that you have to rebuke your nation." And since there's so many people that went to Abu Dar, there's so many people that went to Giluay, there's so many people sinning, somebody should have told him to stop. And apparently the religious people didn't do it. So isn't that a sin, too? Tried arguing for the religious people. He tried arguing for the rabbis, but the says says, "I lost the battle." You're right. Go punish them first. When the beta mcdash was destroyed, the religious community suffered first, just like we're suffering right now. Why? Because you looked at your next door neighbor that was driving on Shabbat as a and you didn't care. Yes, according to is considered a He's considered like a but it's like a What does it mean like a You can still save him. If you actually cared, you'd save him. If you actually told him, listen, why don't you come to my house for Shabbat? Let me show you what the raom says about. Let me show you something. Not just give him food. He has food in his own house. Enough with this that everybody does is they invite their friends. Like in America, it's very very popular to invite people for Shabbat. Okay, invite them. But the purpose is for them to keep Shabbat. Not just to come to your house like a restaurant and then they drive home. If they're driving to your house on Shabbat and they drive away on Shabbat, it's better off not to invite them. The whole point of having these types of people come to your house is for them to keep Shabbat, not for your house to be a restaurant or entertainment. The moment we stop caring about whether our friends, family, neighbors, and the rest of is keeping Shabbat or not, what do we what's the Torah? What's the point of us being religious? That's what is saying to us. I'm punishing the Torah world because the Torah world is not doing enough for their brothers that are not in a Torah world. There are more people that are ballet chuva converts or people that want to convert that support kiru than there are people that are in the Torah world. Why? They know the pain. They know the pain of not being on the right path and how hard it is to actually do. One of the things that we have to learn from all of these is that I care whether you keep Shabbat or not. Not because I know you. I care about whether you marry a Jew or not. Not because I have some wedding hall or benefit out of it financially. I care because who cares? I care because somehow someway we're related. I care because whatever you do is going to affect me one way or the other. And in fact, the moment I don't care, then that means that we're not really one nation. We're just a bunch of people. So, we have to decide. Are we really am or we're just a bunch of people that like to go to synagogue? Are we really am or we're you know we have uh some things in common? If we're really is then that means I don't care whether you're kidish or not. I'm going to help you in any way that I can especially when it comes to your because that's free. That's the that's the cheapest mitzvah in the world. It's free. I can help you for free. And that's one thing that every Jew here has to take upon themselves in some way or another. Start caring about the rest of Isel. Even if you don't know them, even if you're not connected to them, even if you're never going to meet them, do something to help do. Because the more we the people that already have a keep on the people that already have a the people that already are the more we start caring about the rest of the more say okay now is different now this is not the same destroy the mdash and if you're looking for an exception you need you must have an exception a stereotype of somebody you want to help because everybody says listen I don't want to help. Okay, I'll give you one. The one guy you can't you don't help and you're not even allowed to help is Tamid Lagoon. So if you must have somebody you don't want to help, that's the guy that that's Lagoon. It's like, you know, the Jew went to an island and he saw that there's two synagogues on the island and he sees one guy in the island. Says, "Wait, you're the only one that lives here?" Goes, "Yeah." So why is there two synagogues? Says, "Well, that's the synagogue that I go to and that synagogue dy don't go to on purpose. of not going there. So if you have to have somebody you don't want to help, okay? So you don't help the guys. Everybody else you have to help. They look like you, they don't look like you, they live next to you, they don't live next to you. Those people you have to help. How? We have plenty of choices. Plenty of choices. Plenty of shim that we could send them. There's plenty of different things you can give them. That is my message today. I hope I hope that it touched your heart because I'm sure that all of you are keeping Shabbat. I'm sure that all of you are keeping mitzvot. I'm sure that all of you are learning some to every single day. If you're not, you could join us and watch the shim. We have few shim every single week, live shim, interesting topics, all types of different things, whether it's mus from the world or the uhazi world, the safari world. We mix everything together. Why? It's the whole Torah. We bring if you heard the sources come from all parts of the Tawas. There's some from this, some from there. We bring it all together. Why? Because it's all one Torah. So if you're not learning enough, you can learn with us. But if you're already doing all of the mitzvah, if you're already keeping everything, there's one thing I would like for you to do is at least think about how do I make kiru part of my daily life? Not one time. This is not a one-time donation and I feel good for the rest of my life. How do I do something every day? Every day I do something. Five minutes. Five minutes. Can you share something for five minutes? Can you send somebody a video? takes two minutes. It takes 30 seconds. Some people don't have time, so they say, "Listen, I could donate, but then I I can't share." Fine, no problem. Some people have time, okay, but I don't have any money. Fine, no problem. We'll send you stuff. You give it to people. Some people say, "Listen, I don't want to carry these books." Okay, so just share the videos. There's something that everybody can do. But if you're going to do it, do it not just inside your circle. Do it outside of your circle. You know, to those strange looking Jews that don't look like you, the ones that don't look like you, those are the best ones, those are the best ones because once they see the truth, they're the most amazing people in the world. Ken, >> can you tell us a little bit about your school? >> My story. Short version of it is I'll give you a short version and a long version. Long version is in this tablet or it's online for free. It's is a movie called Hashem Took Back His Millions. And that movie is a short version really of my of my life. And the reason why I had to give a short version of it, number one, because it would take too long. Number two, because if you guys knew the full truth, you wouldn't be able to handle it. There's some parts of it that are very very difficult for people to understand. Not because of intellect, but just because difficulties of life that are hard for people's heart to absorb. Short version of my story is I came to the United States from Israel when I was 10 years old. Uh we uh weren't a religious family. We're more of multi. We'd go to synagogue a few times a year and uh I got into I was a good student in school. I got into the business world. I started working on Wall Street and uh investing people's money. I did pretty good. By the time I was uh 26 years old, I was making millions of dollars and uh by the best day of my career, I made $1.6 million for myself. So, we're talking about an enormous amount of money. I did over a billion dollars worth of business. Life as far as materialism is concerned was fantastic. But then I uh had a surgery that was an elective surgery that went wrong. I woke up out of the surgery screaming and yelling and I've been screaming for 19 and a half years since then. The first 62 days were hell on earth, just a little bit worse. I wasn't able to sleep for more than 15 consecutive minutes. I uh different body parts of mine were failing. I was bleeding for my eyes and every other orphice, holes and not holes of the body. Everything was failing and nobody understood why. For the next seven years, I had to have more and more surgeries because my body was simply dying in just an unusual horrible way. And nobody understood what the connection is from the original surgery to the other ones and the infections that are coming on. Nobody understood how this affected my legs and every part of my body. Pretty much like my neck all the way to the bottom of my feet turned into a place that always hurts. Hashem after during those seven first years as I was going through hell and uh having surgery after surgery and all types of uh over 50 different doctors trying to simply diagnose it. During that time, I realized that the money I have is not going to help me. The friends are not really friends. All the my whole version of reality is is false. And at that po moment, I uh before I officially wanted to jump off of a bridge, or really I wanted to, but Hashem saved me right before I met someone that was my cousin, but I didn't even know he existed. And his name is Rabbi Fry Kakum. He's my Rav. He's an extraordinary before he was 20 years old. He completed the four times. Twice the Bubbly, twice the He's not even 40 years old. He's already written close to 60 different books. He's a gon. If you haven't heard of him, one day you're going to hear of him as one of the Rabbi Kon. K K A C H L O N K. So he was next door neighbors to Ra. He's bo a very very well established. This is actually his brother of uh he's just so you see how it runs in the family. We had a program a few years ago that we wanted to we paid to take upon themselves to complete the shasi in one year. That means that the minimum amount of every single day seven per day. So to finish the shas in seven years is a big deal. Seven years you finish it it's a very very big deal. to finish it in one year. People think, "Oh, yeah, Rafkyvki finishes in one year, but me, I can't finish in one year." Why? Everybody thinks I can't do it. So, we said, "You can do it. And if you do it, we'll give you $10,000." All of a sudden, we got hundreds of to finish the sh in one year. Rav Gabriel was one of them. Rav Gabriel is not enough. Well, he comes from the Kak family. After all, one shot per family, it's not enough. So, he had to finish it again. Six months later, he finishes again. The point is gave us a very very special that can do a lot more than we could imagine. I didn't know any of this. I knew I was very good in business. I knew how to make money. I knew how to analyze businesses. I had all types of interesting customers that were my clients that literally were very interesting people, very wealthy people. One guy started uh the dog food industry. not just the dog food business. He started the dog food industry in his time which is you know we're talking about back in the early 30s 40s. He was uh you know dog food didn't exist. You just simply gave him the whatever was left. He decided let's uh package this up and he built this industry. Today obviously you have huge companies that uh sell dog food and these are the types of people that I did business with. So I was good at that. I was good. If somebody gave me a business, I could analyze it. A few times, people gave me uh uh the uh they asked me for a favor to analyze an investment they wanted to make with somebody else. In one of the cases, a couple of people from North Carolina asked me if I could analyze this investment they wanted to make. And I don't have uh I the customer was already doing a lot of business with us. So, yeah, okay, let's do him the favor. I'm not going to charge him for it. Let me just see what it is. I look at it. 15 minutes later, I tell my brother, that's because he was the one that was handling this client. I tell him, "It's a Ponzi scheme." He says, "What do you mean it's Ponzi scheme?" It's 600 pages. I said, "Yeah, 600 pages. The whole thing is Ponzi scheme." Because you read the whole 600 pages. I said, "I don't need to. I don't need to. It's a Ponzi scheme." So, we told the customer, "Listen, there's something wrong." He goes, "You have to come. I want you to meet with these people. Come to North Carolina. I'll pay for the trip. I'll pay for this. I'll pay for that." Okay, fine. We'll come. So, we slept in North Carolina. We meet with these people. One guy used to work for Disney. The other one used to work for uh what is the tennis US Open? I think it's called. Tennis is US Open. Whatever. One guy was for the tennis association. One guy for Disney. And they're the ones that have this Ponzi scheme that looks real. And uh they try to pitch me this thing as if I care what they have to say. And uh I told you after they finished talking, I said, "Yeah, it's a PY skin." Both of their faces are shocked like no it's not it's this long story short. Did you think the customer listened to me? Of course not. Why would you listen to me? But then he lost all the money because it was a pon scheme. It was a pon scheme. So in business I knew how to analyze it. I knew how to look at it. I knew how to look at investments. I was very very good at it. But did not bring me to the world to do business. He just sent me into the business world to learn how to talk to learn how to view things to learn how to break things that are break down things that are very complex and explain them in this simple way to do all types of things that I needed training that I'm not going to get apparently in yeshiva I'm not going to get in public school I'm not going to get anywhere else other than the special lesson will give me so throughout that journey I uh eventually discovered that my life is not exactly going in the right ction. I started learning with Rabb Fry and uh he started answering my questions. Questions that I had, questions I didn't know I had and we would have conversations for seven hours straight, non-stop questions. He would make me feel good about myself by telling me that some really, really smart Jewish guy asked the same question 800 years ago. I'm like, of course he asked the same question. Of course I asked the same questions as the Rambam. I never heard of the Ram at that point. But I thought, yeah, of course he asked the same questions as me, but that's the way it was because I thought that I knew something. But then the more I started learning, the more I realized how little I really know. The more I learned Tawra, the more I realized how big the Torah is and how insignificant I am is. And as I learned more and more, I started realizing that there are more people like me, not the business version only, but the one that don't know anything. In fact, most of Isel is just like me. Most of does not know what the even is. Most of cannot tell you what is. In fact, even if they have a keep and you ask them about the 13 principles of faith, 13 foundations that if you don't believe in them, you're considered an that's what the Rambam says. You ask them what are the 13? They don't know what's the ten commandments. They'll tell you a few of them. If you ask them 613 mitzvot, do you know the 613 mitzvot? It's like you want them to fail. Stop it. No. Ask them the ten commandments. It's enough. Most don't know. Why? Because that's where we're at. On the good side, there's an abundance of information, too. In the same generation that there's a lot of ignorance, there's also easy access to information, easy access to the truth. You have many books that are easy and cheap to get. A lot of stuff you can get for free, too. Even if you don't have money, you could learn. There's kles and betim and different places. Obviously, not everything is free, but the point is is that there's a lot of Tawa available for every somebody that wants to. So, how do we get somebody who doesn't even know if they want to because they don't know what it is. They don't know what the is. They have no idea. If you told me 20 years ago, do you know the I would say, is that food? What is that? What are you talking about? What is the NV? You know the Nav'i? No compreh nothing. I have no idea what you're talking about. What Navi? Who? I know. Why? I saw a movie and he split the ocean. Right. I know. No. Because there was also another movie. The guy in a boat. That guy. I don't know if there was dinosaurs or not, but I'm kind of interested about that whether there was dinosaurs. That's what I know. No. No. No, the Navi Sh. No, the Ni Daniel. And some people say he's not a Navi. No, also no Yeshua. I have no idea what you're talking about. Never heard of these people. I know because I prayed a few times in my life. Guess what? Most Jews know even less than I did. If we don't start caring about them as much as we care about our own children, we fail. Everybody could say, "Oh, listen." So what? Does that mean you're allowed to keep him in the cage? If there was if you were walking in the street and you saw a little baby in a cage and it happened to be Well, yeah, I remember somebody was looking for their baby. That's the baby. That's the baby that somebody's looking for. What are you gonna do? Just keep walking? You gonna leave the baby in the cage? No, you What are you going to do? A normal person is going to free the baby? So, as much as everybody wants to say, "No, this whole generation is they don't know." Okay, fine. Even if you want to say that, why are you keeping them that way? Why are you keeping them in the cage? Tell them get out of the cage. Let me show you the way. Nobody goes to Gan Eden without doing without cleaning off all of the doesn't matter how you were born. It doesn't matter who your parents were. It doesn't matter if you had this or you had that. There's no such thing as going to all the without doing cha. Why? That's how the Torah is. If somebody dies, they cannot go to even if they're a very nice person. Even if they donated a billion dollars. Why? In shine there's rules. There are certain mitzvah you have to fulfill. Sometimes you have to come back to this world to fix them. Sometimes you have to fix them in a really really horrible place. Sometimes you have to be reincarnated as a different species. The point is who has a plan for every creature, for every being, for every for every sin, for every for everything. And I have shim about all of these topics that bring thousands and thousands of sources for everything that I say. I don't bring anything for my own mind. And I promise you, if people understood the responsibility that they have, not just for themselves, but for the rest of is they would simply make their number one priority aside from just living in this world, the number one priority, trying to help as many people as possible. Because at the end of the day, whether you like your neighbor or you don't like your neighbor, he's still part of the same family. He's also Hashem's child. So once I realized that a lot of people don't know the truth, a lot of people don't know. Even if they're religious, they don't know. If they're not religious, for sure they don't know. Then I realized that doesn't need me to be a businessman anymore. So I started teaching. I started giving shim convinced me that this is what I need to do. I started doing it while still working. Eventually took the entire business away. That's why the movie is called Hashem took back his millions because it was his all the way. He just lent it to me for a little while so I could get some training. And we started doing K. We started from absolutely nothing. went from making $3,600 an hour just for existing to not knowing how I'm going to buy milk. That's how it went. And since then, things have changed. But it wasn't because the company pays me a salary because I don't take a salary from it wasn't because I won the lotto somehow. It was simply because sent me whatever I needed throughout all this time because he knows this is what I'm doing. I'm doing it because it's not because it's profitable. I'm doing it because I know that if I don't do it, I don't know who else is going to do it. There's not many people that actually care about everybody. There's some people that care people about people in the community for sure. There's some people in the safari community care about safaris for sure. There's some people that care about for sure. There's somebody in every community that cares about the community. But how many care about everybody? There's not that many. Some do, but there's not that many. Usually the ones that care about everybody are very very special. They're very very special. Why? Because they just seem as doesn't matter what color they are. Doesn't matter what beard they have. It doesn't matter what they are. They see this is child. I like him. And that's what you have to if you want to help is stop looking at how they look like. Look at the and do everything you can to save them. And if you must have somebody you don't want to save, then just find that lagun again. That guy that doesn't want to do anything and he he wants to go against he's okay that guy that guy we don't help. Everybody else we help everybody else we help. And my personal story is continuing. We've been doing this for over 10 years. Just a few days ago, we announced that uh the organization bez for the third year in a row, we got a platinum seal of uh approval from Candid, which is like the nonprofit uh um I guess um organization that reports all nonprofit organizations, how transparent they are, how legit they are, and there's different ratings. There's no rating, there's uh um bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. platinum. Usually the ones that are platinum are the biggest organizations out there that you know collect hundreds of millions of dollars and usually it's a uh wellestablished companies. So out of the total of about two and a half million nonprofits or two million nonprofits only 1% have platinum. And we're three years in a row we have platinum. Why we do it? Because everything that we do financially report everything publicly. When we say we're going to give people money to help them for the holidays, food or or give them money, we make videos of it and we show it to people. This is where the money went. When we say we're publishing books, we give it to people for free. All what we do, we publish everything to show everybody this is where your money is going and people see the results. And that's the I'm not telling you that there isn't other good people. I'm sure there's other good people. There's other good organization. there's other good to do. What I am telling you is is that you need to be part of something to help do. How you choose to do it, whether it's with us or somewhere else, doesn't really make a difference to me. But just do something. Just do something about helping. Not only the ones that look like you, not just the ones that look like you. They look different like you. If we all do that, if every one of us, all the people that came here today, take upon themselves, you know what? I have a mission this year. I'm helping at least one person do chuva. Not just helping them giving him a video. I'm gonna help at least one person do chuva. Every person took on themselves to help one person do cha. That's a huge thing. Within a few years, all of Chuva. If every person says, you know what, I'm going to send stuff. I'm going to pick 10 people in my contacts. 10 people. Everybody probably has hundreds of contacts. Pick 10. I'm gonna make these 10 people my project. How? Every week I'm gonna send these 10 people a video something. I'm gonna take the rabbis video. I'm gonna take this whatever you want to send 10 people. Every week you send them. You make them a project. Guess what? After a year, you're going to see how those people, even if in the beginning they didn't want to listen to you, they didn't like the messages. You'll see how they change. The more you publicize Tawa, the more you'll have. And the more a person helps us do what we do, the more that person also gets ba. That's why uh David, God bless him, that organized this event, he uh we met last night and uh he's been with us already for nine years. And uh he says, "Listen, I see the blessing. I see the blessing. The more I the more I I I partner with you, the more I see the blessing in my life." So when somebody tells me that, I know I'm doing a good job. Why? Because I always told them and I told everybody. I say this. This is one thing that probably you guys never heard of before, but you'll see me in videos many times. Say this. If you donate to our organization, significant. Now if you take said $20 and you know you have 20 million, if you send on a regular basis to our organization, but you don't see any in your life, stop donating. Don't donate it to us anymore. Why? Something's wrong. Because when you support Kiru, when you support Tawra, it's supposed to work. Not just work where I can pay rent or I could buy a book or I could. No, it's supposed to work for you, too. You're supposed to get more BA in your life. Many times people donate tens of thousands of dollars to different organizations because that's the local kle or that's the local yeshiva, that's the local whatever, and they don't really see much in their life. I tell people if you're not seeing by donating to us, don't donate anymore. Why? Because it's supposed to work for you too. So anytime that I see that people that have been donating to us for years continue, I asked him once in you have you need blessing anything said no no ever since I started this everything has changed more this more that and it's I said okay that means that approves on what we're doing if you're getting as a result of helping us that means we're doing a good job and that's the business version of where I know that I'm only going to invest if it makes sense. I don't want to invest in Ponzi schemes. So when people invest with us, I'm telling them, listen, this is what it's going to be. If it works, you'll see the results. You'll see the results. Either way, whether you invest with us or not, doesn't really make a big difference to me. What makes a big difference for you? The biggest difference it's going to make for all of Islam is if every single person takes upon themselves to help is you want to help us help. We'll be more than happy to be uh to be partners with you. You want to do it in a different way, go ahead and do it. Just do it. Whatever way you choose to do it, just do it. Because if every single one of us does something, for sure it's going to make an impact on this community. And if it makes an impact on this community by next year, it's going to affect the next community also. And then it becomes a domino effect. We can make all of Toronto do chuva. We can make all of Montreal do chuva. We can make all all of Amisel do cha. But it has to start somewhere. That's why says that in order for the Mashiach to come, we have to have one minion where there's no one minan where everybody is there simply to serve not for their personal interest, not because of their customs, not because of their overt simply I want to serve Hashem. We can start that today. If everybody takes upon themselves to help is for sure we're already going in the right direction. Every person here can do something. Some people could do this. Some people could do something else. One way or the other. I hope that everybody takes that on. And if anybody's interested in watching the movie, it's online for free. It's called Hashem took Back His Millions. These little tablets have him. I only have a few, but there uh if anybody wants, we you could order and we could send it to you guys. Either way, thank you very much for learning with me and we'll learn again soon. >> Probably >> probably >> I'm probably if it's bad as scary, it's me. >> No. Yeah, sure. >> So, two questions. >> The video started standing by start opening up. >> Okay. And then you gave a big very big shear. >> The shear was a very scary shear. >> He showed scary. I have gay tuna bleed. >> Scary disgusting. >> These are the creatures of this was >> it's supposed to be. Yeah. >> And at the end of the video you shut you shut all the uh >> there's a few movies like that. >> The goal of that is to be that. >> I have a question. Okay. >> Do you still do that? Is that still your philosophy? Those >> Yes, it is >> 100%. >> Okay. Okay. Number one, >> it's a necessary It's a necessary tool for specific types of sins for specific types of people. There's regular shield that just like you saw like now that we do every week. >> I see. >> That we do every week, a few times a week. And then there and then there is also the movies that we make. Some of them have to be that way because they're specific thing. You cannot, for example, for the issues of the issues of morality, you can't fix it by just saying, "Don't stop it. It's no good for you. It's not good for you. Stop. Leave the she's not nice. Go find Go find a nice." It's not going to work. It's not going to work. What's going to work? Listen, if you don't leave her, you're going to have one, two, three, and four happen to you. And guess what? Now, it's all works. Why? Because this is fire and this is fire. the five. So that's just that's what that's what they talk. All I'm doing is just repeating what they're saying and and what they said is scary. >> I I hear you. I want to ask you one more question. >> Yeah. No, that's good. You ask >> Sure. Sure. Sure. The whole family sure there's a few of them but I'm assuming you're talking about >> hat. >> No no no hat but uh suit that was my uniform for a long time. No. Ask a question. >> Not that. >> Absolutely. >> Have you fundamentally changed? No. >> Why? How are you dressed like this? >> And I know I know it. Don't worry. I have very thick skin. I don't get insulted by anything. Don't worry. I I I was on Wall Street for 16 years. So there's no over there. There's no uh there's no uh uh emotions. So I wore a suit for most of my life before I became religious. I used to have business suites. had, you know, a person come uh edge take take uh the um so I had I used to have a uh a tailor come to my house or my office and make these customs and dozens of suits 3,000 4,000 pants are a,000 $2,000 lots of money. I I was printing money practically. So for me to go to a store and waste two three hours was not going to happen. So suits was something that was part of my life. Anyway, so once I, you know, started, uh, you know, teaching and everything, I wore a suit because that's what I wore. Over time, it became less and less comfortable for me. Uh, and I started just simply just wearing my tit and uh, I just decided that I don't want to be in it's just not comfortable for me. >> Video was because it was in the early days. >> Yeah, it was early in the days. It wasn't It's not a matter of changing ideology. It's just simply a matter of comfort and I don't care about the community what what everybody wears. This one wears a strimo. >> I would if I want to, but usually I don't want to. >> I wear this or I sometimes I wear jalabia uh and on top of this I have like the uh the what's the long uh you know safari uh jalabia. Sometimes I wear this. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm actually to be honest with you. I'm trying not to fit in because that's what's interesting to people. If somebody says, "Wait, this guy looks weird. He doesn't look he looks religious, but I'm not sure. What is he? This is he comes talking to me. I can help him." >> I want you very entertaining. >> Thank you very much. And I enjoyed it very very much. Stay in touch. very much need. Yes. Now we got also for the imbody. She knows from hers contacted you went away >> unfortunately >> I wasn't happy about it >> can't listen most people that are wearing wigs today are wearing it out of ignorance, wearing it out of ignorance. They don't realize Yeah. Yeah. They're wear they're not wearing it they're not wearing it because they they they know all the information that we publicize after. So number one, the dean is much lower than than people think if they do it out of ignorance. Number two, anything that you do today, whether it's helping somebody do chv or it's uh you know, anything, always do it for the of your wife because every bit of it can help. Every bit of it could help. And listen, it's a uh when a person does a sin at a show, accidental sin, it's much much easier to fix than somebody doing something daunt me a message.
