The Chiddush -Shiur at Lev Tzion Yerushalayim

okay should we should start do to be personally if you deal with a particular topic over the nice talk will clarify it only at least a little bit attorney so Lamar tells us of the famous story of the four rabbis that entered into the part of this and probably the most famous of the two was the worst that could happen in the best that could happen I was once in Manhattan Beach and I shot a friend Daniel Finkelman shoots a lot of the videos in honey and hosted me on Shabbos and then we've had a shop it's the rabbi he got up in he started to give his rush and this is was on it was on this and as I was listening to it and obviously maybe maybe Akiva we know he he entered the travel and we came out with shaman he was a intricate piece that came out with peace he was he was fun everybody else for my crazy mom died when he came up because a rebel Kiva was was fine and in the thing by me I found the most interesting was and and this was a hideous but at least something that she gave to me was that and I talked to rabbi this after that so you know what the difference between maybe Akiva was and be in the other three rabbis the difference between rebbi akiva and the other three rabbis is that maybe a keeper was about you it's about true it doesn't make sense not only was he appalled to vote but they but we also know that he wasn't able to become the nasi the reason why he wasn't able to become that and become de nasi have to run Bank I'm Lia whether while they skipped on us because of his lineage that he comes he comes from Garin maybe a keeper is a very interesting thing because you would think that with Rabbi Akiva he should have been the last one he should have ended up the worst if we look at the stakes right he comes from the lost distant place but rebbi akiva was the one that came out fine it's a very interesting very same thing if you think about it so told us that money give me any big smile and I started thinking about this that a person when he begins to realize the importance of his growth and what is in his leave move of whatever a voted that the person begins to take on right it gives is that we come to know Horsham us and one of the things by knowing a shell is that we have to always be prepared for the finish this is going to be a finish right even as much as we would want for everything to be flowing and running in one way we have to be prepared for the finish so Loffler said I told the soul before that when Hashem was looking for a spokesperson there go and represent Claudius well who does he go and get Moshe Rabbeinu the guy that can't speak properly he's got a speech problem he's going to be the spokesman for classroom when Hashem wants to go to the house of yishai and he wants to go and and he wants to anoint the King allow me to go anointed king he's got a brother tall big handsome qualified but it ends up being diving another the little redhead shepherd boy in the back that he shine Quentin licorice is that even sure if it's his kid or not all right this is this is none of you saw when a Shem wants to choose a nation when he wants to choose a people what does the Torah say he said I didn't choose you because you're in greater than all the other nations I chose you because you were the least of the people a time they entered in the hair to cut mother turn them in in the air to serve and look around his Giants the land is fortified these people are huge right and of course we seem to a person yes every time you know I know it's kids every time before you know you got a snack or something like that I always you know I know my kids do [ __ ] five kids can i huh and watching them you know I asked a friend one time how do you know you know like you know when did you start feeling old you know and you say well my kids start talking to each other you know I mean mr. able to start having conversations with themselves and I never by note to my kids all the time if you ever give one of the option you know you give them a treat for him and because they always you know see which one's bigger and whichever one is bigger they keep for themselves and then they give to them you know whatever or if you pour them so no one the other one says no no it's just bigger than mine then they start mentoring the Cubs and everything you know it's ingrained in us from the children that we choose the best finish by his chin position doesn't work like that how great would the story be if it was Goliath they killed down in the middle what's the story it doesn't make the book that doesn't make the book but if it's Davi the melon is able to take him out and now we got a story now we got a stone so when a person realizes he wants to serve fish in he always has to be ready for the finish what's the finish and the reason why I think it's important I think is important for you I think it's important important for us this is not a typical yeshiva this is a room full of tradition and me wouldn't you love leadership all right so the world has to be ready for tradition and even more so on a personal level I was once visiting a school of speaking in London as he Shiva there and this this boy told me over there and I and you'll see why I'm telling the story there's on the boys he came over to me after I spoke and he said to me he said to me you know at least in my you know [ __ ] Shimon was evolving they just said he said look my issues are more personal he said I'm having a tough time making it to share in the morning I don't want to go even in the morning and and dialing and everything else am i learning it's just like you know I don't have a desire at all you know what would you advise and it wasn't all professional but it was just I see out to dish my at the time and I asked him immediately I said what are you listening to what's what's in your iPod and out of his mouth came in to them 50 cents you know NSA macula is imminent 50 cent he's saying all these other and WI I don't know thank you those were the two I remember so I told them afterwards they told me that they said I said the issue is I said is that every day all day long be filling yourself up with a message this is contradictory to talk has nothing to do with with Torah and the vote is a sham I understand that is Marion understand that you that you do love them is that come from that world trust me I been there you know I have a really close close family friend that it's like uncle to me he said you know people have been places and done things he says that I have I have I've been I've been things and done places so to tell you I'm Amish come from this I understand that the enticement but in order for a person to be amongst abhinaya Leah such messages will help the person to grow they'll be entertaining they won't help him to grow so a couple weeks ago I had a beautiful Shabbos of house with sucia and Barry Weber at least 1/2 is Lucia's the [ __ ] made his act was enabling maker and mat dump came in afterwards spoke with Shen Benny Friedman was on his way but he couldn't make it after at the end I talked him after Shabbos but we had a very big issue shamisen about 50 boys 50 bombers and it was amazing and and there was one one of my friends he stood up and he said something yeah and I thought he was gonna embarrass me and this is not my own place that it gives me it makes me think of the Torah then I heard he stood up and he said that Hashem nyse:ba created rap only for nice thing to do what he's doing now only to get physic to the world complete equality throughout this is the reason why that and I I was thinking to my seats I said okay whatever I'm not so I'm not so upset with what he said and it made me think of something that the coke may or Ivan been around now and what a beautiful state become a horse one of the hidden hidden breasts love books that's not always on the front fun to display let me know if you can give in to Manny's probably have to go to a breslav store to get it he wrote something amazing almost 200 years ago and he's talking about the the air balloon after the invention of the air balloon and he said that soon we will see that we'll be able to travel to whatever they need to be by the end so before the airplane right and he says furthermore he goes on to say about any invention that Ashim allows to be brought into the world this is the sole purpose of why Hashem allowed for it to be brought into the world it's for the sake of kedusha for the sake of kaduche in holiness and only to give Kaval attention he said but there's a cloud the cloud is that first the Clipper gets it it goes to the Clipper first the very interesting thing when I started learning all about Yiddish fight and I was that's coming closer to Shem but really I was growing and getting around with damn I was always afraid of casitas why was I afraid if you see this because you have all you have a Red Bull and and he's a central figure if I see this and and and and people are enamored by the person he'd to some degree sort of looks like he's some type of conduit to to being closer to Shimon on that and I came from the world of Christianity so to me I look very very scary as an interesting thing as a person you're getting to grow understands that even before Hashem wants to bring something and we think about even just casitas in itself before the the Baal Shem the Heylin abortion before I was able to be this galaxy duty to the world gets so much opposition from other people it was a hidden and people couldn't understand I could not understand what the what the what's with this this new thing this new wave service in an Arab in people did not understand it was a kiddush but we understand and we look around and we see today that this is brought and added so much to each time I said the same I was by the army I was over by I was an initiate one time same as I'm Kellison him over the teachers Hailsham re and after that that even then and tell us it may be a kiwa what was the the godless that they were able to treat the Yiddish strike because they came from the other world they were able to bring something with them was able to enhance to enhance the toy world is changing for them for the rest of our lives we've been changed behind these things we have to be prepared for the finish I have to be prepared for the finish and and I thought about it myself especially even after my friend said things recently there's been uh there's been a lot of talk about it and my feelings towards kids listening to rap news the only rabid news of my mind music and different things like that that Victor is this is the the ick is that a person has to watch himself he needs to be careful and needs to acquire the leader of zis to be able to watch himself and to see what he's adding to his life into his avodah and terms of him growing and becoming mostly Binet and then coming close to him he needs to figure out for himself what is necessary for him and what's not necessary for him I traveled the world I may be fly go fishing two three times a month that's how much I'm traveling house nation and it's not just to America I've been to over shunk and I know to Germany Brazil sat down from the Africa future I've been places understand and it hasn't been a place I've gone that I have not seen people that come up to me telling me how much physically my music gives me another and I could come somewhere else over here not everyone made shots off somebody telling me that we're doing the worst thing in the world alright because this tool Bowl is a persistence and I'm going to Siddiq him and everything I'm going to Siddiq him about what I'm doing for sure for sure and if I didn't get a green light I wouldn't go as much as I fell to myself that's what if she wanted me to do if so then the question comes up about bottom and then and and should they be should they be listening should they be making what's the whole was no question first off a person needs to know the me there's a he versa needs to watch himself and he needs to was good for him and it's done know what's not good for him and he needs some Rebbe in these people that he could go to he needs to eat seagulls CAW a Muni purveyor they're trying to float people that want to be close to Shem around in this thing I mean that you can always check in person checking in with himself constantly checking in with himself to see if what I'm doing is it appropriate for me or not and my place and so most recently the question has come up with a possum and young men even like yourselves should you be rapping do not be rapping what woods big bunny anyway their body would say last year he's not him it's coming soon I know we've got we've got a rapper there's nothing to Noah in the same boat but the Emmis is and I'll tell it to you like I've told it to everybody else it's nothing nothing picked on you shut up but a person needs to understand this to a bonus all right one of those I'll explain it like this and I'll tell you why I wanna explain it like this so you know the great webinar when he had a conflict and he calls out first to this place let the wall say let this same I am in the Box pole comes and what up right he's going but the icky other was and within the gouda the story was teaching us and no matter how great a person could be you know at the end of the day he needs to the robe the robe opinion and in and what I say that to say is that a person needs to be able to champion with subdeacon and with BAM and almost thing so that's that's one of oh I would rather be like huh I agree I agree it could be could not be I understand why I can't I could clarify one of the things I've often told people like why did people have an issue with with what the rapper needs me I'm not talking about hurting anybody or anything like I'm talking about coming close to [ __ ] that's what I rap about what's what's important to you right but the issue is is that what a lot of people don't really understand their son that many different levels so a one-level black black music in general a rap rap music was birthed in the Bronx right and and and by African Americans in poverty I think yeah and that by thickness in 79 as well never just didn't that was the light came out I mean when it was obviously a part of the culture before then but that's the time that it comes out and it's business Kylie to the world or I did it this is such an Indian is rap you know and and it's a very very interesting thing because that German are more than anything else today it's the most distance away from the interstate because of where it was birthed and its whole entire culture as something such one but you take the Beatles and you you take even even heard from let's let em play I've heard other people that that when music of will save a life white by journalists to some degree we sent five and I hear this stuff in Jewish music all the time today NSN what I'm saying a very popular rapid but very popular singers I hear these these type of things it's made its way into Jewish music people think that it's tough I have a person knows music he knows it he listens he hears what you know some of it's maybe not as contemporary some of a second from the 80s and the 70s and everything's like that but it's in the music so what's the issue with rap as it's a very very distant thing but if the funny thing is I said just like I told you that Hashem will go and get motion remain and he can't talk he'll go get that with a melon that Ash in a person has to always be ready for the finish because today I know of many people or the closer attention because of rap specifically in my own music I don't know firm for everybody else and I know there's nothing Zen there's other guys that are doing it not saying but I'm saying from from my own from what I'm seeing is that people come in close attention from and my only connection to it is right only connection and the only way that I can either make it is from my heart is I want to be close to shin so I write music again such as the way with any any any music why is it today that it's it's so hard and we're not just talking about talking about to talk about you talking about the most Rikishi was I have every week Booker [ __ ] can I know about 30 to 35 bottom that come to me to each come with these words in the shape but mostly this this cab will come from the mayor brisk Yap they'll know that and I've talked to a lot of the guys that listen it's very hard for people not to listen to go into music or to listen uh huh that's a shovel but but no bad let's listen listen it's a very very very hard hard hard thing for most people so me my brother wall we will talk about it and in the only way that I was able to really look at it was to be able to say listen there's an accrued of amis in that music the understand what I'm saying even those that in this I always use this example we take imminent right and and he wrote a song about killing his mother wanting to kill his mother I'm sorry mama different things like that a few things to say about that no no no go to the embassy listen listen listen bad was did you you like this song you like this song yes it's a very good song let me ask you let me ask you we'd be honest with you no you don't have to be honest with me so many different things I could tell you this engine cover listen listen I really want to listening now the what's the thing about what sketchy about it and what anything else is that there's an akuna of emesis and the coolest truth in the music is that he feels the way that he feels very passionate about what he feel and may not be your truth and you may not want to hurt your mother right but the fact that we have neshama right ash in gave us it gave us in the shaman that she's yearning for Emma's right now even if something it could be it could be a war Liberty now all the [ __ ] work what it is but it could be shocking but it as long as it to that person is Emma something it draws out him and this guy over here who's singing tailing they sing a song you tell you I don't know if he's connected to what he's singing over there I know it sounds cute whatever nothing about every guy but I'm saying that for most people it's a little bit harder for me to connect to this person singing this the opposite over here over and over and over again and the song never even changes it goes up and down but it comes back to this passage but over here this person has given me a world of his truth so therefore I'm undrawn to that so I understand it pepper does that attractive things over there by these things that pull and draw a person towards it and I think personally that it's this in the cool of emesis over there that we're looking for that maybe today we're not feeling like we're getting so much fun from from our contemporary Jewish music there were the same today and another thing on this when I went back and I said right now most people most Jewish boys the first thing they think of when they think of rap this is not all that I'm talking about from boys enough feminine feminine listen most of the time when I've never been asked about my past life they asked me if I knew imminent now imminent in terms of his talent what I used to know I haven't listened to him in several years but from what I used to from what I used to know his talent is great in terms of his it's the Valda gave me this he was right in what he what he did was he my favorite ever you know right but why but why why is it even even even very known Jewish singles that don't make music that's even close to Eminem I've talked to them who loved in him we even made one point in their life is a man just a thing what made eminent feel so comfortable listen you may agree and you may not agree with me but I think the numbers prove himself he was white sorry he's why [ __ ] Sosa listen yeah doesn't take away from the fact that that I think still baby was one of the greatest ever touch a microphone back in that and you know when I was listening to music well it'll take away from memory but on the other hand it makes the person feel more comfortable every the white is Shiva but like okay whatever if I'm going that's Ryan listen to Eminem he feels a little bit more comfortable with him because it's less foreign but when I look at hip-hop as a whole understand this as black music one buckle he actually told me this he said it's not room racism but the endless there is there is it's not racism I don't the same as the races there's there's a sense of prejudice listen has and maybe at a certain individual different type of guy and it doesn't matter about color either and so our guys for me for me also when I was when I used to live in Seattle you know because I came from a certain background and I came from any time I would go to the gas station or whatever and somebody would come up in an old Cutlass Enrico old-school car and he's hanging out and his back and he's coming into the to the store and all the other stuff my guard goes up I'm alone and and because because I came from that from from that pass you know I'm saying I'm always looking for if he's staring at me I'm staring at in a7 I'm saying institutionalized to some degree in the mind but that was that was the way that that I felt I felt less comfortable then if you know a guy came in it doesn't matter even if he's wearing a lot and he's wearing a Fisher's hat he comes off his old manatee such that it's the prejudice that sometimes people have whether it's there and they don't know so that's one of the things that's for sure one of the issues that this overall there's a prejudiced or something and that's okay that's okay the subtle degree because why like we begin the discussion we have to be ready for the finish the emissary's is that most people are not ready for the finish so we discussed rabbi eliezer and in the Gemara so what's the other bonus so that's one about and now all of a sudden I feel that I'm right I know that online and even Hashem the Bosco can come and say I'm right but I still need to check what's a deacon I need to go to the other web am I need to see what the wrong opinion there's another vote that's never usually ever discussed the other one folder is we have nothing said and I remember being able to read nothing is that I will Avila was one our Arduino was won against the whole entire world the rest of the world said there are many dots there's so many different shims you know combined one you know whatever the case is but Ivanov Ino had to be one against the whole entire world to be able to show that there's only one Hashem in the world and he had to be so convinced of the Emmis that he couldn't care about what anybody else in the world thought and it was his job to go and reveal her shims one listen to the whole inside work this is what I brought my Vita once and I for lovino and this time was a hitter's it was a finish I'm on the deal had to stand against stuff whole entire world do you understand with that you understand how much a person would have to think that he is crazy if he thinks one way and the rest of the world thinks another way I know I've been in so many different - cooper's myself home and I even know my brother I'm one time I could tell you a story my brother-in-law we see my brother he's been my best friend since kindergarten I remember one time in one period he was in between jobs and thought he was gonna get one of it it didn't end up working out to me so he ended up needing to find work and we married sisters our wives our sisters wives or sisters we were best friends since kindergarten in kindergarten we had some time after a little good after great so we split and we came back together we're making music or whatever in that world I'm I was dating my wife already even by the time I hooked back up with them and I married her and then the next year he made the sister and then after that we were all my guy and we both got married again in there all right so bookish it's nice it's a beautiful story and but he had another one time he was in between jobs and he had to he had to find another job because the other job that he he was waiting on he didn't working out so every day we're spending time inside the Colo and I was there every single person had every type of idea of what he needed to do we need to do better than that and he was steadfast that I'm gonna belong Toa I'm gonna spend time he has both of this he reached out I think maybe two and he reached out me ask what should he do I said put him in a little minimal time into looking for work spend the rest of the time in town on a boat spend time talking mission he's both of us and I'm Amish I watched it I seen it I had situation like this also my life I tell his story he even in wasn't listening to what everybody and everybody had an opinion select at some point and you feel so much pressure from other friends and people family inside the community and you don't know which way so you think that you know all of a sudden something something's wrong I need and not to say he wasn't trying they try but this what he got from Daiso checked in with us told this is what they told him to do go the wave ona in the end he ended up getting the job if a him was a really good job he didn't even apply for him he didn't even have an interview a job came up somebody called him asked him if he knew how to do some type of handiwork or something like that he said he paint at one time and they gave him a job he understood yeah mister I'm not saying and and and to everybody else's dismay he's not bad and they totally do this he needed to go to school in I'm steadfast I shouldn't want to bring me when it is now that's in the way of Wayne and be tough on that a person s happy you understand that I'm singing on that on a much bigger level I've got my veena it's going out I'm saying this is this is this is the real you talk about in Mill comma Heights and war with the air to her he's battling against the whole world to say that there's one endless there's one truth is and punished in in the world and I don't care what nobody else says and from that and from that he's being able to bring in reveal my shins of oneness into the whole entire world because he was steadfast too stubborn or not he talks about a person and it must have composed a [ __ ] if he has to be stubborn he needs to be an action he needs to be able to have so that's another of Bodom that a person has to has to apply to be able to understand and then on the other end for me I see this on me personally I had the stories I understood why Hashem and all these other things that brought me back to music after the fact in the beginning I was very very scared I'm gonna tell you this sauce is too dark most of the yellow cover that's come up to me is talked to me very talented people very very talented people and not usually rappers mostly seniors in the revealing that everybody's so ready to just get themselves out there to get their name out there to do that there Hashem did not give us there's another talent is not a gift in the world that a person has so that the shiney gave to a person for him to you know just be famous like that like at the NA image in gave a person oh just just be famous I'm so sorry this has been having an industry for a very long time all right right right but the MS is the MS is look at it look at this is what I'm saying is that a person himself nice understand man well reason why shouldn't give me a certain thing he gave me a certain gift you gave me a certain task of getting something though life is to be able to bring him into the world and on that this is possible for me to be an action it's possible for me to be bold and it's possible but you need to go out enough to care about with the rest of the world things because I know for myself I'm only looking for what it is that ashen wants me to do and I know for myself I'm only trying to do what it is that I can do to be able to grow that Jukka Buster shouldn't really be close to should take to do whatever whatever my purpose is in this world I wanna achieve right but a person has to be willing to be you know said before he has to be willing to be and he has to be always expecting the finish where is it Shin man said I'm at the Deacon before especially by the boss Shinto was always looking for moment-to-moment what it is that a ship once for me to be doing right now and it's things changed and I moment and then the second things come they can change so there's I want to conclude by saying this that the ignor is for each person and I want to say but for you guys this I can already tell from the FEM right nope I don't yes it's very very public everybody knows but listen listen the emesis emesis whistle listen the embassies we all have gifts and we all have talents I know for me personally as much as I was trying to grow in the voters of sham I did not want to go back to wrap myself I had this felony against myself because I had a relationship to it that was not good all right that was my relationship I was you know it wasn't something that at one point was helping me grow on the road as a chef so after I cooked my time away from it once I thought I was done and by the time that it was presented to me from go fishing himself and from everybody that surround me he was named as well too it became something that I wasn't really able to grow you know at that time as much as I was able to after I accepted it again after accepting what it was that I shouldn't want me to do in this world and it's like I heard one time Shearer Weinberger talked about is from the from the cashew shrimp of it when Avril Lavigne who went a little nuts Ryan right now it co was for him to bring out the treasures that he had from that's right this is it so person descends and he knows in in certain place he needs to be able to bring out the treasures from that place so this is why I've always said for myself I know that when I got back into doing what I'm doing today it was only for I was looking for what it she wanted me to do I wasn't looking for YouTube hits and I wasn't looking to be ashamed traveling and doing it as much as I'm doing today that wasn't what I was looking for Mike Mike it was a shame I want to be obedient and because I had just given let me when I came to greet people closer to shin and that's it now a person that's you know lived whatever type of life and because he's always listening to this type of music and whatever I mean you get inspired to do it I can't say that that's the same thing for that person need to ask for me I equals my mother my father were both rappers they both rapid my mother was a rapid in the first angel face is something like that but they both prophesied I'm saying so whatever I got it honest whatever I could have been a janitor but I don't think that's what if she wanted me leave so the MS so the MS know and what you understand this don't you understand this the a cure is it was this that a person who needs to constantly looking for what it is it a Shem wants for you to do what your vote is and it doesn't matter what the rest of the world obviously I'm preaching to the choir a little bit because we're here when they see them bye bye Haley booth I'm telling you guys right hey look I can see it already but I want to tell you guys that you guys see yourself have to be able to see that listen what I thought we're not learning and all these other places I want to tell you guys something you guys had the ability to be a hitter's to be a Big Finish an optimist says all right and this is something that is inspired me I'm gonna tell you this in the first time I read this my little knife lint and Mama she inspired me that you said that the greatest cobbled and the greatest Maury that a shin has and then the biggest honor to that Hashem is those who are far right that appear appear to be for whatever coming from where we come from come intuition we change the world when we come up because let me tell you something when you come if a person takes a match right and he goes into a room and he lights up this man she's gonna say bye everybody everybody says the Rebbe said I had to buy the lubavitcher rebbe reb nothing said they're not I said you take the match and then a little bit of light dispels a whole lot of darkness what you have to understand is that there are people today in the world then know that there's a shitty stuff they know that there's something about a tour and they know the power of the Torah can change because I can't cash in I didn't do anything I wasn't looking to go out I didn't write them I didn't start writing a campaign or nothing I started going to look rushing and because of that I just recently went back to go visit family and friends of the Vinings like that there are so many more people that know that there's a shim in the world and the place where it's dark now there's a shin and least if the knowledge is that there's a shim in the world because of you so every single person that you know and every other person that you've ever been around in every place that you you've been around the fact that you guys are in here and your place of growth is coming closer to shim there are more people that are going to know about his shin as opposed to where if you're in the mirror missions all over they're all over this filth nothing against the pepper over there they have their abundant welcome I often say that if it wasn't for the people that kept going in the way of Torah that have been no porch light on for me to come to understand I've been a porch liner because people were there we have something that is reserved and so about our job is what's our border is to come in and to be the finish somebody asks were the wake you said you know I'll finish it would be something new khadisha to do something different to be the new thing and
