say it's so packed in here all the time
they said only a few guys showed up this
uh this afternoon so you know make sure
you'll send the rest of the guys an
email afterwards and tell them you know
they they missed out on something great
it's a big spit to be here with all of
you you should know this is his niece in
black is is OJ you know maybe you guys
are just Next Level we've been talking
about orange juice for many years
already over here you know big OJ but
you now you're outside of Jerusalem I
would I would say we made the change
some make some changes to the name you
know but it's okay so the Oram is
shining all the way over here to bit me
you know that's the all is already over
here extension a big supposed to be with
all of you to all the name
everybody I don't know what you guys
call him over have a different handle he
call me the man the man the man got it
got it Fu
sh so to be to be very honest I'm a I'm
a free flowing
individual more than anything else what
I'm always looking for is the
opportunity to be a hasem and whatever I
feel that hasem is pushing Us in
whatever direction is where we'll go so
I don't think we'll be all over the
place is usually a k and especially
right now and when we're living in our
times there are certain inan that we
have to deal with and grapple with that
they didn't have to deal with in earlier
Generations the nabii says in Amos he
says that a time is going to come when
there's going to be a famine in the land
there's going to be hunger but he said
it's not going to be a hunger for food
or a thirst for drink but rather it's
going to be a hunger for D Hashem that
in other words there's going to be such
a time that there's Aon of hashem's word
being heard in the world unlike any
other times but the real question is is
that how can the na'vi say that this is
going to be a future event we are
already told in the safe of Shmo that
before shm Nai received his call to n
that the to hear the word of Hashem to
hear the blood hem in that time was a
very scarce matter meaning that it
wasn't heard very often in other words
sh sitting there inside of the the the
the uh the mishan shil and he's at some
distance away from a who was the Coen at
the time and he hears Shmo Shmo Shmo he
wakes up this happens three times and
he's running over to Ellie thinking that
Ellie's calling him and Ellie on the
third time says to him he says you know
what I think you're hearing from Hashem
he says go back and say h say here I am
and then after that immediately then at
that point the Sha Navi becomes not only
the na'vi in this world but he was also
the of his time it was the lastau
between before we had before we had the
M
of so if we already know that this has
happened and even if you look in the sa
sa also there many times where this
absence so to speak this Hester P of
hasem would appear in many different
times before the appointing of a new
judge and so before that would happen
there was always this time of hasem
waxing and waning so to speak
no Nai we heard hashm so what is what is
hasm talking about so the real the real
answer shows up Ina because OA tells us
that it is going to be a very long
period of time that clus will dwell
without a king we would dwell without a
without a corbon there would be no
corbon and there would be a time of
distance between us and theem before the
ultimate Redemption happens and when it
takes place the problem we have now is
that there's a
a light that is shining into the world
especially as we're just now finishing
up
the we talked about ra ra talked about
the show being explained it as a Time Z
of Oria the time of G because we're very
very close to the coming of Messiah and
all the writing is on the wall if any
person pays attention to what's going on
inside the gar and second Sedin and also
s we look in what the N are saying we
see very very clearly that there's so
many different things happening that all
the puzzle pieces are happening there
but the question is if there's such an
ore during this time as we're coming
closer closer to Messiah obviously when
hasem is raing this great light how come
it's harder to fill
it it almost seems that that you know
contrary to to what we're expecting this
this ghou this this goul that we're
expecting this time of redemption when
Messiah will come is a bit major problem
there's such a and a feeling that hasem
is actually here with us
in a in a in a major way person has to
be has to train them to some degree to
be very very spiritually sensitive to be
able to recognize things that are
happening on the day to day to see yahm
on the day to day it's a very very hard
thing for a person to do unless they're
tapped in and connected but even with
that when a person's tapped in and
connected I'm not hearing stories like I
heard during the time of the BTO I'm not
hearing stories like I heard in the you
know in the time of all the former tadim
of the people the GR I'm not hearing the
same stories what's happening how could
it be that hashem's light is shining now
how Are we
more cuz we're closer to the we're
closer to mhia coming than the last
generations and there's says that's
coming down now where's the or show me
the light it is shining very nice
outside but it's still
cold the okay it's shining but it's cold
very interesting
thing so I the thought
that there's something interesting that
says he
says that the greatest cover to
hasem happens and takes place the more
distant the the is away from him when
that person has a hisus when that person
wakes up and is inspired to make chuva
he says here H chuva all that person has
at that point are thoughts of chuva they
didn't make any actions that or anything
like that the biggest couple to Hashem
at that point is when this person person
has he Chua when there's a thought or a
wimp of chuva amongst that person then
this gives AEM the biggest covered and
even more so when the person actually
returns to hisim so what happens at the
time where a person has a hero a person
that finds himself in the lowest darkest
depths of the place something
interesting happens I want to sidebar
that real quick I'll come back to itar
Schwarz the bill bavi he says that in
this time much easier for us to access
higher levels
of and to enter into higher Madre higher
levels in this generation than the
former generations and it's much easier
than it was in the previous generations
which also doesn't make sense because I
just said I'm not hearing the same
stories as I heard heard before so I was
trying to pair and put a couple things
together but I thought about what he
said and I'm thinking about says and I'm
thinking about this Bo so it's a very
interesting thing if I want to reach
somebody that's this distance I could
speak this you know in a lower voice if
I want to reach somebody that's a little
bit further I have to speak in a louder
voice if a person's even further further
away then I have to scream I have to
yell and at some point there's a
distance where no matter how much noise
that I make the person won't hear me so
Hashem in his infinite light and His
Infinite Mercy shines a light we've seen
mosu we're going to see it pretty soon
in next few part of that when he comes
down and we see that his face is glowing
is Illuminating so much so that ail his
face because the light that he just just
had on his face was so great that it's
it's it's lasting it didn't go away so
easily so what happens is Hashem in
order for him to reach a generation like
this is so far away coupled to what just
said the amount of light the wattage of
light that hasem has to send in this
generation as much higher than he would
in previous generations because of the
distance we're not talking about a
distance of time we're talking about a
distance of proximity of a person's he n
the way he behaves and the way that he
are the bombardment of what we all have
in his generation we're being bombarded
I said to a friend of mine said do you
know what type of of uh schlam maso guy
would have to be to waste time 200 years
ago like what were you doing today he
didn't have Facebook he didn't have
Instagram he didn't have Twitter he
nothing didn't have a a smartphone or
how could you waste time two three years
a 200 300 years ago what were you doing
what have you been doing with your time
so how could a person see but the
bombardment of everything that we have
today how many things are in the way of
us actually serving Hashem in this
generation it's unlike any other
generation but yet the ore were promised
the light that were promised is to be
much higher and because of that a person
could reach even higher so what happens
is as this light starts to make its way
to the depths to the farthest generation
the furthest gener ation and the deeper
deeper person goes the wattage has to be
so high so that the moment that the
person has a heror Chua this compared to
previous generations it's like the guy
went up 40 40 you know 40 levels in one
second of one second it's also brought I
seen by I think it was in the
introduction to one of the Y ysep that
he brought that a person could receive a
higher MAA in his preparations for PES
in pesak if he studied all theas
everything that he needed to before
pesak he'll reach even a higher than
what he deserves during the time of P
because of that this is one introdu to
the it's not
talking here so there's access to Hashem
in this generation unlike there were
other Generations the only question is
is on all of us is whether or not we're
making a Kenyon if Hashem is saying that
I'm making myself available in this
generation regardless and because you
have to understand the way has works is
met connected Meer was brought out has
works with this met connect me so the
way we are with theem is the way that he
is with us so if it if it is and in
fact a a reality for us that Hashem is
shining more in this world and Hashem is
making himself
accessible and Hashem is bombarding us
at the same time allowing for us to be
bombarded by all of the nonsense and all
the and every distraction that there is
in order for us to attain and to reach
that light and reach that CER that we
should have with theem if all these
things are happening at the same time
then wouldn't we believe that aim the
same way as there some type of uh uh
cheat sheet there's some Easy Button
there's some some something that we
should be able to do to be able to
capture that that relationship that
loving that CER that real light to be
able to capture have access to this ore
there should be something that we should
we could be able to do to be able to to
capture cuz in other words it wouldn't
be fair right it wouldn't be fair if
Hashem will put us in this generation
and we have to fight unlike anybody
else's fight but but we have less
resources so it's got to be that there's
more resources and I'm not talking about
safaria and all the other stuff we also
have those resources also but there's
got to be some type of resources all
right you can look in today's
generation and we can see that there's
more Torah learning than any other
generation more you
know there's so many different things in
this generation where person could go
and learn he can go and sit and learn
and whatever and that's
really but we're not producing GM at the
same speed we were many generations ago
so we have a big
question where is Hashem Hashem what are
you doing what are you doing to me what
are you doing to
us so if we were to learn from
mosu the one thing that mosh raenu did
was that mosenu if you sing all
throughout the Torah and you're not only
going to see the by you're going to see
this by you're going to see this
by is that each and every one of
them made it their
business to make Hashem theirs there was
a certain relationship that they had
with hasem that it was only them and
only Hashem in that moment it
says I saw by AB I think it was AB Kaz
he
wrote wrote that because each one of
them had their own unique relationship
with theem it was almost as if he
belonged to each one of them
individually so we
say and we don't
say so we separated he's the god of
Abraham the god of the god of yob
because each and every one of them had
their own relationship with theem each
and every one of them mosh reenu was on
a whole different level completely not
just because he was great from who
didn't think of himself to be any he
didn't think of himself to be anything
but his strength was in the fact that he
made Hashem his saw one time ra brings a
lot of time that you know for the 60
years of mosh was in the desert he was
just making his vo this for the for 60
years he with the sh talking to the sh
for 60 years all this built up you know
fire and relationship by time he comes
out and he's ready he's got enough juice
and enough everything to pull out a
whole entire nation out of MIT
it all came from making Hashem
his what Hashem gives us access to do is
to make Hashem ours to make him ours and
each person has to understand this I
tell a lot of people over the years I've
been wow your story is crazy look at all
what you went through whatever and I
tell people you know the truth is for a
person who who who was from from birth
but you you have it much harder th% much
harder I'm sorry to give you guys the
real it is the truth you have it much
harder for person who came from where I
came from if you're in the darkness it's
much easier for you to see light when
you're surrounded by light to know the
nuances of EMS and sheer in the midst of
of of of light and you're being flooded
with it all day long it's very very hard
for a person to be able to find himself
in that place he just it's it's almost
as if you you you're
being you're being flooded with with so
much good and so much light that it's
hard for you to make a heav but for a
person that's in darkness in the moment
that they see light the light cracks in
they start walking towards it it's not a
big story of course I would also I would
also leave where you came from if I was
you right but for a person who was from
from birth I tell people all the time
it's much harder to come by you know
ichim
Morin it's much harder to come by these
guys in youra the whole time and when
you're in youra the whole time from the
time you're kid and never you know I
heard by uh I think it was
maybe shinberger or something said you
know the toughest part is nothing ever
was what it is you know nothing ever is
what it is you see things and I'm
dealing with my kids I'm raising kids
that are F from birth and I always
say on you guys you know he didn't he
didn't get to go through all the
nonsense and all the Ste I went through
to find Hashem you I had to really make
a big kyion on hasem so say it's harder
for you guys you guys are going to have
it tough you know I had it easy you guys
are going to have it tough
because it's so hard for all of us to
really realize the the access that we
have to Hashem we're not using our
membership card not using our membership
card
Hashem is wait waiting and ready to make
himself available and the Nuance is is
that as time continues to go on it's
going to only be harder and harder to
decipher what's the truth thear tells us
quoting speaking about the before mashia
says that it's going to be so hard to
tell what the EM is it's going to be so
hard to be able to distinguish between
what's real and what's not real and
we're seeing this today with the AI and
everything else that they're they're
bringing to the to the front deep fake
deep this this fake out you know it's
crazy it's awesome the stuff that they
could do you can see it but it's only
telling on itself that you know guys
we've been giving you sheka for a long
time been telling you stories that are
not true for a very long time and as the
world Contin AG go more and more things
are being brought to the surface maybe
this isn't true maybe the way we
understood nutrition was also not true
maybe the way this is was also not true
but the EMS is is that in order to find
the truth it's going to be very very
hard to find that truth before mhia
comes and that's one of the things that
we know so in order for that how can a
in order for a person to understand
during that time what the truth is and
what's not the truth the question is
what do I do what action do I take how
am I going to be able to know right
if hasem loves me and Hashem desires me
and Hashem wants that I should have a
cash with him hasem wants that obviously
I'll be privy to the truth what's going
to be how can I
know
so there's a very very ancient Jewish
practice and I get in trouble sometimes
when I talk to some of the Yeshiva guys
about this but I I was told I'd be
protected
here sorry I just put the phone on the
silent I don't know the amount of times
I can't tell
you but it happens a lot if a person
looks all throughout
bres and really if you look out all
throughout T starting from Braes how
many times it says that Abraham stopped
and he invoked the name of Hashem
stopped and invoked the name of hasem
was spoke to hem in the middle of the
fields there was so many different times
with each one
sto and they took that chance and took
that time to make AEM theirs made a
kenion on the relationship with theem
Hashem says we're all allow at a certain
amount of shares right I know was the
business Buck him in here right you have
to take up and you have to say that I
want it hash yes I want it Hashem I want
it and by speaking and talking engaging
and secret to hasem with hasm this is
the
ultimate Way of CER and connection with
theem and we all understand this because
any person you have a relationship with
is only because you communicate with the
person right doesn't mean that you don't
have a relationship with people that
you're not communicating with there
definitely would not be as strongest
people that you are actually actually
communicating with I have a friend who I
grew up with I was very very close to I
haven't talked to him in I don't know
how long and when we talk we could pick
back up like we did many many years ago
not 100% but we can pick back up many
many years ago but obviously I would
imagine in his world and I I know for
sure of my world you know all things
considered I don't consider him as much
now think about him a lot because not
there so I'm not communicating with
him but the foundation of every
successful relationship is one by which
there's
communication when the communication is
strong and when the communication is
often
there much more of a
caser I was once in
uman and uh it was was
during time Ra was given a a speech
inside the
clo and he has a way of making
everything very very simple he
simplifies very very big problems one of
the things he said though I remember
this this year he says you know the
amount of work if you take the the the
most simple physical work that there is
right person wants a job or whatever it
is he said janitor a person who sweeps a
person who cleans up or whatever you
know what what makes that job hard is
laziness right if a person has to
overcome the laziness the only thing
that makes that job hard the truth is if
you're looking at it sweep a floor pick
up whatever the case is whatever you
know Yesa you guys look like you could
use a janitor here
[Music]
also but the truth is it it takes no
time right pick up a broom sweep
whatever nobody has no there's no lumus
in the job there's nothing you really
have to do in order to be able to do
that he said but even with that physical
work right the spiritual work that a
person has to do is even more simple
than that but it's even more higher can
bring a person to a higher level than
most of all the spiritual voters the
person could do as by engaging in
talking to Hashem from your own words
are from your own heart daily so by
speaking to Hashem it's even less effort
than sweeping and picking up after
something but the what it does for a
person it gives a person so to speak the
speak the highest spiritual salary that
a person could get just from talking to
most simple
thing if a person opens
up I guaranteed You by reading this this
probably he touched all of T in fact
chin I think it was
nakin brought out I think at this I
think it was a whole safer he brought
out
just showing that the touched all of to
call it
to so said on himself he said even on
all my highas everything that I've
reached everything I was able to
accomplish he says None of my lumus
brought me close to hasem he said it was
only to crying out to hasem the
requesting and crying to Hashem he says
these are the things that brought me
close to Hashem
so sometimes we have to simplify the aod
because it feels sometimes when we look
at our yish we're stacked we got a lot
of things to do there's a lot of
obligations there's a lot of things we
we you know we have to we have to talk
take on we have to account
for but the truth is is that if a person
really they used to tell me this when I
was a kid I don't know if you guys ever
been trained in this I don't know what
your upbringing was like but for us we
used to know how to you know learn how
to fight a gang of guys that was your
part of your parental training you know
you were raised by your kids you had to
fight a bunch of guys when to pick up a
stick when to pick up of this you know
we used to have a our minog was that if
I got into a one-on-one fight and I lost
the fight I also get a beating when I
get home so that you know different
different Mahal so so one of the things
is very very clear I think this is
pretty
Universal if a person finds thems ganged
up by a bunch of guys what do you do you
take out the biggest strongest one first
you knock him out first once you knock
him out you you half of the job is gone
two of the other guys may already run
right so you knock out the biggest thing
first I'm not endorsing any fighting
don't say Nim came here you
know we started a a boxing team you know
say don't you know just using this you
know in a l that we can all understand
you knock out the biggest thing
first so the biggest thing first
is really at the roots at the show of
everything that all of the problems that
a person endures in his life every
single Sor that a person goes through in
their life all of the the distance that
a person feels between them and AEM has
coming about because it's a
communication issue something's not
being communicated right the the the
Wi-Fi is off the Bluetooth is not
working there a connection
issue and a person has to fix the
connection issue and where the issue was
actually at and most of it is is that
most people I was sitting with a guy
told me today he's an atheist he told me
he's an atheist I happen to hold that
any person who calls himself a atheist
he's a Jewish he's a aimon he doesn't
really exist Hashem is very very clear
that all the you know as the world has
been trying to prove Hashem or disprove
Hashem by science and biology and many
things for many years nobody ever
thought think about this nobody ever
thought to ask Hashem how it is that he
said that he actually exists the person
reads all through you can see it all
throughout the N the Jewish people as
hash's business card to the rest of the
world that he exists the whole entire
world is going to know that AEM is AEM
he says it over and over again all
throughout the they talk about the is
when they see the Jewish people when you
see the Jewish people in the future when
you see them return home when you see
all these things come to pass the Jew
has is saying over again then I'll be
Sanctified eyes of the Nations they all
know that I am Hashem over and over
again so a guy who says he's a Jewish
atheist aim because as long as you're
here you know hashem's here also you're
only proven Hashem by your very
existence you're proving Hashem other
than that we know what the history is
you know we don't we don't stand the
odds of of even existence even so this
guy said he was a Jewish atheist
sweetheart of a Year sweetheart
sweetheart sweetheart we had a
conversation and I listened to all the
different things and why he felt it was
very very appropriate for him to quot
unquote leave yite leave hasem and
whatever and at the end of the day I
said you know that hasem has no no
qualms on you like you didn't like leave
AEM like nothing ever it never occurred
he said to me you don't think so like I
didn't and leave it I said no you didn't
never left him I said I don't think you
ever had him don't think you ever had
such a
relationship cuz when I'm listening to
everything you had yes you had a
relationship with Judaism you had a
relationship with Jewish things there
was there was some C with the Jewish
stuff you did things right I said yes
you kept M with everything yes you were
traditional
[Laughter]
kept up with tradition you the tradition
right you a traditional that was
Orthodox traditional you practiced the
traditions of your father you did the
Traditions but having a relationship
with hasem that's something completely
different and it's something that alters
a person's life inside out it changes
everything about the individual it
changes the way that a person
communicates with others it changes the
way that a person looks at life the way
that a person goes about it changes
everything from the moment that a person
has a real relationship with
the and the way to fix it is through
communication the more more that a
person speaks with Hashem it becomes a
reality to you that hasem is actually
there and it begins with EMS so many
people ask me what do you
say I start with that what do I say
whatever it is anything you say over to
someone else is easy something you can
say to all the that a person has you
have doubts talk to about it the is is
that if the desired goal is to bring
yourself closer to hasem like we say in
the ash Hashem is close to all call upon
him being met in truth most people say's
close to call upon finish the says
meaning that I'm speaking my words of
truth to hasem Hashem I'm mamish in the
trenches Hashem I don't I I I don't love
you the way I should I don't believe in
the way I should has have Fus on you the
way you know this is this is why I'm
holding by person engaging and talking
to hasem the most simple OFA a person
will start to make
cracks in the in the concealment to
start to make cracks in the K the
coverings that's blocking the ore that
Hashem is sending in into the world at
this
time the way that the person cracks it
is through talking to hasem Breaking
yourself to talk to Hashem that's it
don't a person don't do nothing you know
how many people I know that come to me
who on the verge of making trva they're
not show said if you already show it's
not it's not not your main a
person each person struggle is different
one person struggle he's got to tell his
boss man I want to start taking
Saturdays off oh you think I should do I
should throw out all my Go music I
should first thing is a person builds a
relationship with theem I I will tell
you as many times as I've been asked I
can't think of a single thing that I I
took on especially at the beginning of
my chva that was hard when I when I took
on shabas when I started taking on the
yam was I didn't feel a
single there was no Struggle No No bit
of struggle for me but cloud with any of
them why because I already had a
relationship with Hashem who told me who
told us to do the
things if you're told to do something
and you're required to do something by a
stranger
how many of us would do it we want to do
it we don't know over here we don't know
the the government over here or whatever
you don't want to do what they say you
don't know these people nor do we trust
them but the truth is and any government
I'm saying it's a distant
figure but if your mother tells you to
do something if your mother asked you a
request of you to do something take out
the garbage you make a fetch I conf
fetched but I'm not going to have any
doubts you understand on whether or not
not the person who's communicating me to
do such and such whether or not they
love me because the relationship is
already
there building the relationship between
you and hasem is going to always come
back to how much you are communicating
with him if you let Hashem in Hashem
will be there with you if we don't let
Hashem in he's not there most people
have these Sorrows Hashem hates me hasem
hates me hasem doesn't help me I'm happy
your mom you believe in Hashem that's
number one but number two it's not
Shalom because if any person knows a
little bit about hasem they know that
Hashem is head over the heels in love
with the
individual he used to say I went to in
my lifetime I've been to a lot of Goa
funerals he used to say it doesn't
matter how big the guy was a rasher
could have been the worst guy in the
world every guy stood up who was giv the
hbit said to know him was to love him he
could have ripped off everybody in the
room they always say not to know him was
to love him I start to think like this I
said you know you know what the Emma is
they're saying something profound wrong
guy but something profound
right if a person knows AEM they be head
over the hills in love with him not my
words from n of BR says that if a person
even knew how much it was at hashm if he
knew just a tiny bit a tiny Moro of how
much Hashem loved him that person would
drop the whole world and run after
Hashem with everything that they have if
we were just privy to a little bit of
how much Hashem loves us
so the way in is to build communication
so I brought a piece here from Ro I want
to open up for for questions if anybody
has any questions also
after because I think it's very very
important for us to start making this a
part of our lives and I tell everybody
this is Judaism
101 is talking to
AEM Judaism 101 is talking to aen I I
came to this long before I became later
on became a breast lover so now I say bi
but the truth is as I opened up T and I
seen how everybody was getting close to
hasem I seen how everybody was
communicating with Hashem and I I
started doing it praying to for for
hours at a time sometime to get there
but I was praying to for hours at a time
I was not Jewish but I want to know the
truth I didn't know if is was Mah if he
wasn't there whatever so what I do start
fasting start crying out to shim why
because it's in the book that was it
start find see what was inside the book
very simple we complicate a lot of
things guys and I want to tell you it's
it's just not that complicated it is
just not that complicated a person
starts to live with theem none of this
feels restrictive none of it feels if a
person starts to live with
theem you don't feel in this there was a
there was a there was a u i just told
the story recently n namon was a uh was
a general in in the Army in the in the
North of I think it was Aram I think at
the time which is modern day Lebanon and
Lebanon somewhere over to the maybe
Syria
area and he he was Hashem struck him
with Leprosy he had a Jewish maid in his
in his home we're not going to talk
about how that happened anyway she told
him and said you should go and see
there's a na'vi that you should go and
see maybe amongst the Jews that maybe he
can heal you so the story gets out which
is the king of the north at that time
that there was a letter who came from
the king of
who came to him I don't know if it was
or whoever the King was in the north at
the time he said over to
him he says that I want you know one of
those good Jewish doctors you know
basically was asking for in the letter
and and the King of the North at the
time he had no idea like who am I going
to sin you like to to heal him so Alisha
na'vi finds out from his from his n that
there's a there's a letter that came to
him so he sends to the King of the North
and he says send unto me
they need to know there's a na'vi in
Israel so Naman comes and he's got Le
but he comes with gifts and and he loads
himself up and finally when he gets to
the house of Alisha Alisha doesn't go
out he sends out his Gabi and the Gabi
goes and gives Nan these instructions he
says go in total seven times inside the
yarden that man's upset he's like you
know I came all the way here for that he
says I have better Waters in Damascus
why will I come and and come get in your
dirty yarden River over here I have you
know the the states back here
so he starts to leave because he's very
offended and so one of his servants come
over to him he says do you mind if I ask
you a question he says if this na'vi
would have told you to do something that
was more difficult would you not have
done it he said yes so why not just go
get in the water why not just go do it
so it's recorded over there he goes he
gets in the water he TOS he comes out
his skin is like a like a baby skin and
new
skin and the reason why I highlight this
guys is because everybody's always
looking that everything's so difficult I
need a difficult of older and even when
happens when a person wants to find AEM
he thinks that only after he put in all
this extra crazy effort or whatever
everybody wants to feel their growth and
everything can be accomplished through
the most simple aod of talking to hasem
of talking to hasem and says that all
the seim and rolling in the snow all the
fasting I was doing I was eating food
without swallowing it trying to get no
pleasure everything that he did he says
if I would have only known what level I
could have got to from just talking to
hasem he says I wouldn't have did any of
those other practices I would have did
any of it if I would have known the
level of secluding myself and talking
with the so he says over here
say at every single time a person needs
to make it a regular thing
says have this is everything for person
wants
TOA and the and the children person
needs to ref any type of Yeshua person
needs to make it a regular thing of
talking to hasem on every single thing
that's going on in his
life person needs to know
[Music]
that the main for everything in life the
main
the is requesting everything from has I
saw one time by Bri was a was a big big
he said that even when it comes to
panasa and you guys are going to see
this in your world I had to experience
this in my own life everybody will give
you opinions on what to do with your
life that come from the book of second
opinions meaning it's not written
anywhere else right it comes from the
guy's own own sheath is the way he
thinks the way he sees the world and
anything like that he'll turn it into a
thing he'll even use hashem's name and
talk about yeah no Hashem wants you to
do this hash wants you to do this
everybody becomes a na'vi when it's time
for you to make B if you start to ask
people when they start to give you can
you show me it in the can you tell me
who says this who brings it up who who
brings it you'll find that not a lot of
people have so right there says that a
person even with doesn't make a single
move until they've cried out to Hashem
and only when they were inspired from
Hashem they start to make a move not to
run to tactics not to run to look
anywhere else first but a person first
starts with crying out to Hashem and
only waiting till the person's inspired
to go in a certain direction so he says
after that I'll just his last
spe a person needs to know that hasem is
good for everything for everything
anything a person's lacking in his life
he can request these things of Hashem
and if a person's consistent and talking
to Hashem you'll see not only will it
become easier to pray but the potency of
your prayers are going to take another
level and a person will be be even able
at that point I seen I seen also it said
it say something was brought down by the
Ari I
see actually mentioned one time in the
year I was at
actually he brought that there was such
an inion there was a TI sort of on the
as that that uh that the um from the AR
that Hashem even for a person who makes
it accustomed to cry out and to talk to
Hashem regularly he says that also that
person Hashem will start to do for the
person even before he cries out before a
person starts to talk to hasem he'll
start to see your TRS because hasem is
already known the person is name on he's
Dependable this person depends on me so
a person is going to already receive
from hasem before they ever cry out to
but I want you guys to remember
that is told he's good for everything
anything the person is struggling
with I'll take questions now thank you
guys you have a question over
there question Rabbi um how often do you
speak to I try to speak to hasem every
single day um multiple times a day
throughout the day try talk to at least
at least I try to spend at least an hour
every day Le bu this hour two hours an
hour is a long time like what's that
look like like is an hour just used be
get in a room yeah in a room or out in
the field one of the reasons I moved to
be is because there's many places to
talk to Hashem over here many many
places to talk to Hashem over here oh
over there I'm sorry everywhere I'm at I
always say here uh but also in B mayor
you have a place where you there's many
places over here go and talk to hasem so
I think that I think what you're asking
is like for more of a technical thing of
how do you spend so much time with
Hashem the first thing is this you have
to build it up every person has to know
that AA as a muscle it has to be built
right same thing with a person you know
one person trusts AEM this much a person
another person trust hasem this much why
because a person that has made it their
business to start depending on shim for
small things they start to throw on pack
on how many things that they could
depend on Hashem for the same thing with
speaking if a person starts talking to
Hashem and you're spending 5 minutes 6
minutes 7 Minutes whatever and you start
adding on time the more more person will
start to realize I know by the time I
had a really close friend who was like a
family friend and I and I told him this
made him what was going to happen I said
you start talking to Hashem you're going
to start to see there's not enough time
in the day for you to talk to has it's
something that just happens when a
person accustoms himself so I had a
friend who worked himself up to an hour
every day he was going going talking to
Hashem for an hour and he came to me he
says you're right he says hour is not
enough it's not enough time for me to
say all the things I need to say to this
sh all right it's it's it's a it's
something you build up speaking you know
I I do podcasting also apart from this
all right so the question was I can come
and talk to you guys until tomorrow I'm
not going to do that I know you guys
have things to do I can come and talk to
you guys till tomorrow moment you got to
talk in front of a camera and you put a
camera it's like what I say like you
know it's a different type of pressure
it's a different type of thing but
repetition you get used to it and you
get more used to it more used to it I
don't mean to bring the conversation
with theim down to something like this
but in a way to simplify for everybody
the more more you talk to AEM the more
more it's going to get easier and easier
and you will realize I guaranteed you
without a doubt that there's not enough
hours in a day for you to really cry out
to Hashem on all the things that you
want because even if at a time where
you're not speaking just the the Ming
the yearning for whatever it is that
you're requesting from Hashem will be
lingering and pulling and tugging at
your heart with the words to talk about
anything else you don't have you just
want to be in this place of at least one
thing that hasem is going to either
bring about Yeshua or the wanting is for
Hashem himself the cuk of when the nas
has a has a certain CER with theem is
overcome its Trials of what whatever it
is or most in whatever Place uh person
was to be able to accomplish
relationship with
theem you can have this year and all day
long it will last all day long so for me
personally I try to spend at least an
hour every day with this
sh I think one of the biggest struggles
I think for for most us it's kind of
hard to like cone
that that's not physically
there so so that's that like I said
everything becomes a conversation person
can have to that
sh and
the more you do
it the more honest you'll become but
really starting like I said with words
of truth of the words that like you just
said is in words hem it's very very hard
for me to understand how it is that I'm
supposed to talk to you okay even two
minutes Hashem even three minutes with
you hasem like Hashem is hard Hashem you
know I I I've said a few words to you
before you don't seem to say anything
back you know like Life Is Life is
trouble troubling for me and I'm going
through a lot of things right you can
start very very simple before you get
into crazy words and using big words or
anything like that it's very very simple
words to Hashem Hashem right now I'm
struggling I need
you m don't see a way out of my
situation my back's against the wall and
Hashem it could be that I made a bunch
of mistakes that put me in the situation
Hashem but you said I could depend on
you so I'm coming to you now so I'm
talking to you now about this situation
help me out I'm depending on you what is
it that I can do to fix it I don't know
you I want to have a relationship with
you please hasem help me out simple
words I'm not saying anything
spectacular right but but this simple
simp the Simplicity that a person
approaches the relationship with Hashem
is what eventually opens you up to the
next next phase of wherever person will
will be and then you could start talking
like me I say some wild things to Hashem
guys I ain't going to lie I a doing it a
long time say some crazy stuff to Hashem
I didn't realize it until I was saying
it over to someone else some of the
things I told Hashem but one of the
things I tell Hashem all the time is
this this in of Kenyan and say shim
listen right now you're mind I'm not
sharing you with anybody else I'm not
interested in sharing you with anybody
else and I tell shim all the time I want
to be your favorite guy I tell you all
the time I'm not taking away from
everybody else Hashem I just want to
make sure that I'm your favorite guy I
told Hashem I remember telling a one
time I said you know what the truth is
this I am where I am the I know where I
want to be and the fact that I haven't
reached that potential yet AEM I said
it's really I said ABA it's hurting you
more than it's hurting me so let's do us
both a favor you know hasem help me out
of here you know bring me closer help me
to to to break all these Bim and
everything that I'm going through right
nowm because listen it's got to be
hurting you way more than it's hurting
me you know and it hurts me so can I
imagine AEM if you love me this much you
know you have fun with with the with
your than never but you can talk to very
simply guys it's not a it's not
something that's uh that's that's Out Of
Reach For
Us there's a there's a there's a I was
just at ret a couple weeks ago and a boy
asked me this this question on Tor he
said he said listen he says if I start
talking about he's Veda and all this
other stuff like that I'm going to tell
me it's b t you know like so how I
Rectify this that I see that I'm
actually coming closer to hasem but the
you know
it is it's like time is B Tor I said
there's a couple things you should know
first off was very very nice he said
that his desire was that his tum his
students would spend an hour every day
just one hour he says really you need a
whole day he said but we can limitate
down to an hour right and in an hour you
should be able to accomplish everything
he says this is at the least the minimal
this is what I want from my tomed I said
so you should tell your rebi cuz I'm
sure he probably learned he probably
reads some Mish and everything he should
look inside the Mish and see that the
was much worse than he says a person
should take a whole day out of a week
and he should go seclude himself with
theem and beg him to bring a Clos says
leave the Bas M and to go and to cry out
to said he's requiring a whole day of
your time what's easier the hour a day
or to take off a whole entire day and s
in seclusion at the sh I said so first
off you should tell him this I said
number two I says there's two there's
two type of theas that NS and the WR
talks about when he's speaking about
this relationship of us talking to Hash
in our own words he says there's one
type of theil that's lower than Li Torah
meaning that if I'm praying to on my
physical needs very important make it a
part of your life your physical needs
things that you need financial needs
things things of that nature he says
those things are lower than Torah so in
other words I got five minutes in there
I can I can over gamar I could do
whatever the case is and then I'll save
some other time to set aside that to
dive into on my my needs as long as
something's not pressing I'm not in a
state of emergency however he says there
is a teil that's higher than Li Torah
the T that's higher than Li Torah is the
T that a person engages into hem to be
the so if a person's talking to to
be help me to have I realize that listen
here I'm I'm rubbing guys the wrong way
here in in Yeshiva and the you know
after while so and so doesn't like my
jokes Hashem I'm I'm full of lush and
Hara sorry is funny to me you know I
should I need to I need to work on
myself whatever the case is a person's
working on this
me different things like that person
wants to be stronger in shabas person's
diving to be the Torah to have mid to be
is right person dominating on that he
says this is all higher than the Torah
so it's not B Torah these are things
that higher person if without this you
have no fertile ground for the Torah to
even be in hide the person it's nothing
it's only going to it's going to produce
weeds so in order for you to actually
build some person has to dive in up here
on these things that's not B Torah and I
said you don't prove it I said what do
you do when you walk to a guy if I said
if you're talking with a friend of you
and you're going back and forth you're
talking with this guy right think about
it and you're talking in Torah what you
say you're wasting your time said no
said so you're talking in Torah with the
sh it's higher than Torah higher than
Tor learning itself also to the Rashi
says the to stands the height of the
world is disrespected the most it's much
easier guy to guys to be a mme and to be
a and to be the person why because
there's so much cavote still wrapped in
all of this it's so much easier to feel
great about yourself once you're the guy
in the Shar you're answering all the
questions and all this other stuff and
whatever and you could play humble yeah
just me you know what I'm saying you
know whatever the case but then he's he
feels very good about himself but is a
lot of coup or whatever much harder to
be the guy telling Hashem I can't Hashem
I'm such a such a guy but I'm so you
know much easier to be the guy that
learns all the time right but what's
going to bring him higher is that emis
that he's engaging in every single day
of telling Hashem you know I'm very far
from the March the that he's having with
hem that's what's going to bring him up
so when the person is uh working on
himself I heard your story in the past
like you been through about and what if
like a person been through stuff he just
doesn't like Hashem so much so like it's
like hugs him to speak like you did all
the stuff to me like going to f if cool
yeah so so that the emphasis is that
it's rearranging the way that a person
looks at the things that happen to them
in their life and some people have this
natural thing um and I I'll be very
honest about that is that it it wasn't
natural for me
to grow angry with Hashem the time I
grew angry with Hashem is when I when I
decided to you know change religions at
the time and I was looking at yish and
I'm looking at Torah in the face
compared to to what I had understood
before I was a little I felt a little
duped by Hashem angry that where I
wasn't going to Ser him as Hashem but
how could I not known my wife is much
more Angry than me but in terms of in
terms of all the things that I went
through in my life it softened my heart
towards Hashem as opposed to making me
reject Hashem more the problem that that
you guys may have that I didn't have is
that Hashem was the answer to my
problems I wasn't always told that
Hashem was the cause of my problems and
the reason why in in your world I would
say coming from where you guys may come
from by and large Hashem becomes the
cause of your problems because he's the
default guy in your world in my world
nobody was talking about has like that
it wasn't it wasn't part of my world so
so obviously who's going to save me from
my troubles is the is the Hashem that's
been this outside distant thing but a
lot of things
today in the F world we use hasem we say
things
like and what and it's empty words
person don't feel nothing not saying
anything when at the time he's saying
it's just a part of our or whatever so
at that point and we know that is the
Pinnacle we have y we have you know
those those times when we do actually as
a CLA engage Hashem it's not all the
time
right so Hashem then becomes if Hashem
is all this other things he must be the
reason that's doing all these things to
me right and Emma say I tell you what
says sometimes people worse than thear
himself you know the EM is that your
issues are not with hasem the issues are
that we are internally we are battling
the biggest issue that we're having
right now is that we don't
have I found out something right now a
medical thing I'm just telling you right
now whether it's true or not many people
could argue whatever they want so for
the many years people have said that
acid reflex is caused by the by by the
uh M fact that you don't have that you
have too much acid buil up so you need
some type of medicine that's alkaline
that's going to reduce the acid I'm
sorry if I'm like totally taking you
guys into you know Harvard University at
this point but I want you to understand
this so the medical understanding was
that if you have too much acid in the
gut right you're familiar with this then
you need to take something that is going
to diffuse the acid right so now in
recent years they've shown that there
are many studies that say it's not the
problem of having two much acid that is
not enough acid so a person needs to
take more acid apple cider vinegar and
other things like this now I've tried
this and have seen that adding acid to
my acid reflex has actually reduced the
acid acid that was in it but for many
years I'm being told that okay it's
because you're Al alkaline you don't
have you have too much as overload of
acid that you have and so therefore this
is what's causing it right so I want to
bring that into what we're dealing with
so for many years you've been told that
Hashem did this Hashem does this Hashem
did that hash did this has all this
other other stuff and because you have
too much Hashem in your life you got
problems you understand what I'm saying
so why are you doing all this to me and
the truth is what's causing the issues
is
of it's a lack of Hashem that's caused
all the issues and our problems because
you have to be willing to say on my
second part of talking to this atheist
guy I told him I said listen I would
accept your understanding of everything
the way that you look at the world to
today if you can sit here and tell me
that you gave Hashem everything you got
if you gave the relationship I'm saying
when two people divorced from a
relationship somebody feels bad usually
it's the guy we're usually the jerks
we'll be honest most of the time I've
talked to couples and there was a
divorce guy feels like an idiot
afterwards because he knows he was
stubborn he was an idiot he was a he
didn't treat it right he did all this
other other stuff right usually the guy
that's why 80% of divorces are usually
pushed by by women you guys none of us
should know from this but the truth is
is that usually somebody feels bad then
a person has to reflect and ask them
themselves did I do every single thing
that I could to make it
work and when I ask this guy he says I
can't say that I
did so that means for you for each and
each and every one of us you have to ask
yourself did I give it everything I had
so it's really a result of why I'm
feeling what I'm feeling because it's
too much AEM or just messing up
everything has just is trying to out to
destroy me or whatever the case is how
much time you spend with Hashem how much
time did you make it a point to to to to
make hasem the most important thing in
your life that your whole life will be
dictated revolved around Hashem right so
if he's all powerful and he's all big
than that so so much so that he's
messing up your life how much do we do
the opposite I'm really looking at that
and saying that the should have this
inner piece in my life and everything in
my life should be revolving around it so
I think that that's the
that causes the issues not not too much
and what what in your life triggered
your change in whatever your path was
when you were
younger there were many triggers but at
least in terms
of let me the biggest one of the the I
can't say that there was a there was a
thing CU even when I was a
kid maybe because there was so much
going on at my house I needed some type
of escas and I grew up I I grew up in a
my family was uh was very exposed to a
lot growing up as a kid a lot of drug
use abuse and different things like that
so it became a very um you know natural
thing and I would say one other
disclaimer I have to say also and this
probably goes to answer one of your
questions and this is going to sound the
truth is that it is funny but it's
actually the truth right you know like
I'm black so I never like had these many
struggles like with believing AEM not it
just like comes along with the package
comes with the melanation like you know
a girl believing in God we don't get too
big nothing's too smart maybe because
the education's not so great in our
neighborhoods I don't know what it is
it's certain questions we just don't end
up having you know and start having so
at least my experience was in the hood
that when people got drunk enough or
sedated enough or high enough they start
talking about God you know so I want to
know about God D it happened so
so I don't know if it was that in
particular but I have had this thirst
from a very very young age always
feeling like I was a part of something
bigger than myself and not really
connected to whatever it was so I had
that so my natural thing was by the time
I was running with street gangs and
getting in trouble and doing all the
other things like that I had my
experience of
Christianity and and shortly after that
kind of like waning and doing my own
thing and falling sort of some back into
that
lifestyle I felt an internal clock
ticking that I knew knew that at some
point either I was going to give my
whole entire life over to God in terms
of the way that I saw things I I I felt
this Cas sure I was I was talking to sh
at 16 years old I was locking myself in
my room huh while by that time I wasn't
involved in the gangs in The Gangs I was
till I was 14 years
old huh what age did you start I start
what in the the stre gang 9 eight
whatever I smoked pot the first time I
was nine what does that
me uhhuh I can't imagine you can she
probably not smoking weed either I I
I I can't say
never I could just say when you when you
grow up in an environment like that and
this is what you see you naturally
become a product of your environment
right like I had no problem I tell you
this if I would have went to my high
school I remember if I would have went
to my high school and I would have asked
everybody on the bask basketball team
you know what's your plans for the
future I'm sure I would have got at
least 90
8.9% of the guys would have told me
they're going to the NBA I mean and
what's the odds of that it's not likely
right so it wasn't realistic but that's
in that world it's either that or you
know didn't think they don't think past
that as much where we came from now when
I when I started uh speaking at Jewish
schools and I remember the first time I
went to school and I was sitting in the
room with the basketball team of the
Jewish school and and my Reby was
actually talking to them asked them you
know what's the what's the plans for the
future where do you see yourself as an
adult you know career-wise what are you
going to
do nobody in the room said they were
going to the NBA not one one said to be
accountant like his father one's going
to be a lawyer one the doctor whatever
the whatever the father was that's what
they said they were going to be right
most bias they weren't around their
fathers so they didn't know who their
father was so they going to the NBA just
is what it is it's unfortunate it's sad
thing it's a horrible thing but it's the
truth it's the reality of of what was
going on so you become a product of your
environment right you know we we're
always there's some hustle all the time
there some youner doing whe whether it's
buildings whether it's Amazon whether
it's whether it's some real estate to
real estate for sure but it h because of
product of your environment so once I
saw all those things going on in my life
where people were in the streets and and
gangs like that's what we looked at that
was what was cool for us right that's
what we want to be go you want to be a
gangster I watch boys in the hood
Minister society and all that and I
didn't look at how bad it was it's just
like man the glorification of such a LIF
style you want to be a part of it so you
you you join on those so I was young we
started our first gang we're like eight
or nine or something like that and it
really start gang banging until I was
about 12 years old I was running with
the wrong crowd and from
that even by that time by the time I was
16 yeah by the time I was 16117 already
I already had a major life change by
going to a chrisan organization camp and
I was praying out to praying to Hashem a
lot during that time and so by the time
I hit adulthood 18 when you know I'm
looking at life again and I was offered
a big contract from uh uh from a major
record label at that time that was
underneath the universal
umbrella I um I started to make gangster
music cuz that's what was was there I
didn't know I was going to start
changing I started to change I got into
a rap beef it was either my life or the
other guy's life and I turned to prank a
rat beef a rat beef don't tell me Tell
the that's what me and you
have andrick Drake and Kendrick I guess
that's your whatever the case Tac Tupac
and
Biggie essentially two guys you know
speaking Lan Hara amongst each other
back and forth I know that put the
subtitles
mhm guys I'm a change man I'm a change
man the truth is that one didn't in so
well like a friend of mine tried to kill
him
afterwards and uh after it wasn't
because the rap beef we just decided you
know we weren't going to make a song
back we'll just take it to the streets
and that's what we did and uh after
physical altercation a friend tried to
kill him
and after that they thought I sent
somebody to kill them after you know
they obviously surv they didn't get shot
but they were shot at so they were
either going to take my life or it was
on me to take their life so because
nobody was going to call the cops right
so after that I started praying I prayed
a lot I prayed a lot I prayed a lot we
put it behind us and after that I
started running team Hashem from from
that moment on that was 2008 2008 so
2007 is when it took place and by 2008
as I was on this journey I just told
somebody I have a record sh should
continue to help me that I I haven't
said a single swear word since 2008 I
haven't said a single not even bumping
my toe nothing or anything like that but
the reason why I'm just using something
small like that to say
that N Pay n Pay we don't talk like that
we don't speak like that these things
they they I don't want to go into a
whole thing on on swear words but at
least we all know know that we we all
desire you know you know the the the the
says that a person needs to make for
himself a tum of himself you make it
make a make an image a desired image of
who a person wants to wants to be and
every day in the you measure yourself to
that zum that you made for yourself to
see how far off you are and I'm sure
that any person that is really looking
to be close to hem curse words doing
drugs all things like that is not a part
of the perfect image of who they are
right so in a simple way but I'm saying
that they say that encounter with Hashem
that I had there already by 2007 caused
me that all the way to 2025 that I
wouldn't fix my words to say certain
things you understand my mouth to say
certain things I didn't mean I don't
have what to work on I'm just saying
that something like that was something
that was eradicated immediately it went
with the package right of of who the old
person was so
saying that to say that being with the
is life altering it changes the way a
person looks at the world changes the
way a person interacts with the world
but it starts with communication guys I
got a bar mitzvah I got to go to thank
you guys so much
