Parashat Devarim: The Value of Honesty

[Music] okay very nice to be here thank you for having us also want to make sure that um this SHO goes to a to which one was that ra Victor Rael Ben Rosa David Ben Doris but s Leana Leana but Sarah and is and may all of us get closer to hem we uh get to a point in life where at some some people get to it when they're in their 20s some get there when they're in their 30s some unfortunately don't get to it until they're in their 70s and towards the latter part of their life where they realized that is much more important than someone can be perfectly healthy but unfortunately completely depressed and when you're depressed you don't really have much of a purpose to live whether you're depressed because of uh something that actually happened whether it's a uh money issues family issues relationship issues there's countless issues that am is has and uh one of the uh privileges of of doing kiru and meeting so many different people is that you get to know a lot of different stories and unfortunately a lot of stories are very sad where you're seeing that there's marriage problems health problems and just countless endless amount of problems that has and very few actually know what the solution is the solution we know it's just a very if you want to take the medicine when says that is the healer of All Flesh and he's The Miracle Worker he wasn't joking he actually meant it just like when he said anything else in a Torah he's not a human as he said to uh to balak and Bam he's not a human he doesn't change his mind he doesn't uh have a uh conflicting opinions when he says something it's Eternal once we get to a point where we realize that and take that into account then we have a better shot at actually using this medicine that he calls the Torah now each week we have a sh at my house or in different locations like today and we go over the Paras but because this so many new people one of the things that I do with the Paras is that um to make sure that we not only learn the par which obviously hasem says that we have to learn it each and every single week but what I want to make sure to do with each is not only tell you the story but actually show you how it's relevant specifically to your life when I did chuva one of the main things that drove me to do chuva that made me realize that the Torah has to be divine it had to be en written by a Divine being it could not be something that some really smart guy or some smart woman wrote it's not possible it's not possible obviously there's scientific evidence we've done shers about that there's rational evidence there there's all types of things you can prove but for me personally the best proof was and the reason why is because every single time you read the parasha if you actually study the parasha you'll actually find answers for for questions that you have specifically at that very moment that week so it's not like a general question that obviously everyone has what's the purpose of life am I ever going to get married am I going to have kids is is this stock going to go up to a million all the questions that everyone has but the reality of it is is that sometimes we have personal questions we have things that are only specific to us should I call this company back should I sign this deal all types of things that are specific to you and if you learn the par deeply enough you'll actually find the answer it's custom made so we try to find different Secrets within each par but the most important part is to learn the m to learn what is is the key part of it that we need to learn that's going to apply to our life to make us better people because to just learn a bunch of stories maybe learn a few more MIT maybe uh work on our exterior a little bit more okay it's fine but if we're still stealing at work if we're still angry at the world if we're still depressed even if we have a nice hat it doesn't really mean anything so most important part according to the V and all of and the the biggest reason of why we reive the Torah is to work on our midot to work in our character traits now one thing you're going to notice from the Torah which I'm sure obviously all of you have learned it is that unlike the world we live in today the Torah is not politically correct 50% of the Torah is nice stories and things that have happened it's a history lesson and mitzvot but 50% is punishment in today's world very very few talk about the other 50% the 50% that's punishment because it's not politically correct to tell someone that if you violate Shabbat according to Al you're not considered Jewish it's not politically correct it actually hurts people's feelings but that's what hasem said to tell people that listen if you think that it's a nice thing for you to go to the beach on Shabbat and you're having a good time it's fine for you it may be nice but if you actually realize the atomic bomb that's going off in the next World in your next World your specific one the one that was made for you when they said every Jew has a portion of the world to come you know when they wrote that in the M they also said these are the following people that do not have it why don't they have what happens to this next World it explodes why does it explode because they don't keep Shabbat so there's certain things that we must know not everyone necessarily needs to become the next rambam or the the next but everyone needs to know the very Basics and this is what we talk about so if you have any questions during a year you feel free to ask if you have any tomatoes please keep them in your in your pocket do not throw it at me until after this year um but the uh the key is everything that I talk about in is Shure just so you know is minimum standards even though in our generation it seems like it's higher it's actually minimum standards I don't talk about anything that's M meaning that's a stringency everything that I talk about is the minimum requirement of every single Jew every single woman in the world including the guim must be modest must be there's no like maybe if I don't really know that much it's okay for me not to be modest no maybe if I don't really like the clothes and it doesn't fit me nice that's also doesn't work so and the reason why we do all of these things is because so many of us are so lost maybe not as lost as I used to be but we're not getting answers so what we're trying to do with this par we're trying to do with all of these books is to find the answers because once we find these answers Everything Changes Life Changes our happiness changes our overall perspective on life changes all of a sudden we want to talk to God all of a sudden we're looking forward to the next Manan all of a sudden when our wife calls we're actually excited to talk to her all of a sudden everything changes so when you have a connection to everything changes and the only way to do it is by following his instruction said that's why the Torah actually means literally means instructions so Torah is really I I call it the love letter but in reality it's an instruction set it's an instruction set of how to live how to succeed in life How To Succeed in Business how to succeed in marriage how to succeed in anything you want is in the Torah everything and anything you want is in the Torah all we need to know is how to find it now this week we find ourselves in the most difficult week in the history of our nation the week of TSH we have a major shabbaton event uh this weekend in New York in bet Gabriel bharian Center in uh in queens or Forest Hills and then we have several other lectures in uh Brooklyn and Queens and several other parts of New York and it's during a fast day it's during a uh very very difficult day that a lot of Jews know that we lost a lot during this day first bet mdash the second bet mikdash we got the bad news from Hashem that we're going to be stuck in a desert for 40 years is not going to is got a lot of really bad news as a matter of fact just to give you a little taste of some of the things we're going to talk about on Saturday night for anyone who wants to watch the main event will be speaking on Saturday night it's going to be on Torah anytime live so you can go to Torah anytime.com and you could I'm sure they're going to have some type of uh link or something you click it and you'll actually be able to watch this your live uh streaming on on their website and what we're going to try to do is to show how everything that happened in the bet mikdash that very very few of us could relate to very few of us can relate to what happened in bet mikdash it's 2,000 years ago I don't know anybody that lived back then you don't know anybody that lived back then we can't really imagine what it looked like we saw pictures but when I tell you that there was a river a river from City to City of blood not a little bit of blood but a blood that actually reached the stomach of horses it was a river legitimately a river it's hard to understand something like this it's hard to understand such disaster and because we don't understand it most of us don't really mourn on used to say reminds him of like a a gathering of older people everyone is just sitting there patiently waiting for the food waiting for the fast to end instead of mourning of some major thing that happened in history a few times we think about the food we think about when is the fast going to be over and the reason why is because we can't connect can't connect to what happened 2,000 years ago it's hard it's hard to connect but if we look to our history what I'm going to try to do is to connect it to recent events whether it's the Spanish Inquisition the pogroms that happened throughout history are the most popular event most popular and unfortunate event that happened in recent history which is the Holocaust everyone knows the Holocaust even the people that denied the Holocaust happened knows that it's nonsense obviously it happened they just don't like Jews and the Holocaust happened for several reasons which we'll talk about on Shabbat obviously am was not exactly full of tadim at the time we had some good people we had some people that were going against hem and this is the reason why things happen it's not because Hashem left when people ask where was God during the Holocaust the simple honest answer is he did it simple it's honest it's the only truth there's no like oh he forgot about us you went on vacation or maybe like uh he was a uh you know giv the a little bit of you know overtime no he did it when we make sins Hashem has to wake us up how do we know he wrote in the T there's two specific in T and which are two specific parot that not only specifically tell us all of the horrific punishments that are going to happen when we go against Hashem but they actually have codes and secrets in them that detail everything that happened not only during the first betam mikdash that was 1500 years later or Thousand Years Later the second bet mdash was 1500 years later but also the Holocaust those 3,000 300 years later in in those so we know this is not a coincidence Hashem says something we have to take him at as word for it the point being is that we whether your Safar ashkanazi buaran yemenite whatever other things that are out there amongst our people Chinese Indian if you're Jewish and you believe in Hashem you could relate to the Holocaust because we all suffered in one way or another that we can connect to and the sages of Our Generation and the previous generations tell us that since it's so hard for us to connect to the BET mikdash very very few people actually cry for the bet mikdash any day of the year let alone on we are not only we should but we're actually obligated to mourn for any other horrific event that happened to our history which obviously the Holocaust qualifies as the most horrific in our recent history so we connect everything that happened in the Holocaust actually happened during the BET mikash everything details and this is what we're going to go through and this is what we can relate to and the reason why we need to do this is because if we don't know where we came from we have no idea where we're going to go and right now everyone agrees whether you're talking about sages of our generation are you talking about the gar that was written nearly 1,600 years ago or the mishna from over 2,000 years ago or the written to that we received 3,300 years ago or any book that was ever written about the end of times everyone agrees we're in the end of times whether the mhia comes tomorrow next week in 5 years from now 20 years from now we don't really know it could happen well it's too late I think I think he's going to let us finish the sh for tonight hopefully we'll get some more people to do CH tonight so the key is that we're at the end of days now if you look at all of the prophecies that our sages wrote about the end of days they're not very pretty there was two opportunities one opportunity was that all of does CH all of us become Sim all of us are excited to go to beet when you ask somebody are you going to study T today are you going to watch the game to laugh at you like what game what are you talking about what else would I do study T if that was the answer mashia would have come in a good way but when you ask somebody that in today's generation and you're going to study t or you're going to watch the game what are they usually answers what's T what's to when you ask most of the younger people in today's generation do you know what tab is what happened in tab know something bad do you know what like a something got ruined most kids don't really know many Jewish kids do not even know only publicized one of his dreams about the mashiah and he said he met the mashiah and he said he asked the mashiah why aren you coming and mashia told them because there's over 1 million children in is who do not know what is now when a Jewish person does not want know what kma is we have a serious problem so now we fall into the other option the option that talks about the end of times and the mashiah coming and not so wonderful conditions the only thing we we can do in the situation we find ourselves in is save as much as we can and I don't mean money kazal tells us there's only two things that are going to save us at the end of times one of them is tor and the other one is now this sounds very very simple what do you mean Torah if I just buy a Kash from art scroll that's it I'm finished mhia is going to save me if I give uh somebody a ride to the mall that was kindness that's it Mash is going to save me that means everyone that means even Hitler is going to get saved I'm sure he gave somebody a right at some point in his life before he decide to become mass murderer I'm sure he owned the Bible like all other Christians and Catholics he actually wrote in his book that the reason why he hates Jews is because they are enemies of Hashem they went against their own Torah he wrote in his book he used our Torah against us so obviously those are not the answers Torah means not only learning it but complying with it doing what it says all of it everything that's applicable to you we have 613 mitv from hasem and seven from the rabbis most people think it's 613 from the rabbis seven from hasem no 63 from Hashem seven from the rabbis the seven from the rabbis most people think are from hasem like for example like doing a blessing and eat potato chips if that's actually from the rabbis but why do they do it because in it says that anyone that enjoys anything in this world without blessing the Creator that gave it to him is like a thief stole something from the Creator didn't even say thank you usually even the thief says thank you to the security guard when he's running away thank you for sleeping and not catching me so we have seven seven things from the rabbi 613 from Hashem we got a discount in our generation for unfortunate reasons we don't have the mikash so that already lowered a huge amount of MIT we're also not all women or Not all men so that means that not all of the MIT apply to you we're also not allim so that means that also most of the don't apply to you in so many words you have somewhere in a neighborhood of a couple of hundred out of the 600 you actually have to do makes your life allow easier if you look at most people how many would you you say they do average person not enough not enough is obvious if it was enough mashia would be be giving you the lecture instead of me but let's see what do you think somebody that's actually calls themselves religious even now if they're not calling themselves religious obviously they're eating pork on on on together then obviously this doesn't apply to them they have no idea why they're even here talking about somebody even calls themselves religious in reality we're lucky they do 50% of what they need to do 50% some do more obviously but a lot of people do less a lot of people think they do a lot more than what they do so now we ask ourselves all the time why is it that we suffer why are we sick why don't we have any money why if we have money it's not the amount of money that we want why are we miserable why do we have all these problems We complain to hm non-stop non-stop but then if we go to school we all went to school at some point and you know we get a report card at some point and we get a failing grade go to the teacher you tell them okay why' you fail me the teacher tells you well listen you only came in for 50% of the year and during that 50% that you came in you only passed half the tests so in reality you got a 25 on it I gave you a 50 just to give you some hope but in reality you should have gotten to 25 in the class that's us good news is hm is a lot more merciful than his teacher so he gives us most of our reward for our effort he doesn't give it to us for our execution we're not obligated to do every single mitvah and that's the only way we're going to get to ganen we're obligated to exert all effort to do every single Mitzvah we're obligated to try we're obligated to learn everything we can to know what we need to do once we try we're already succeeded in hashem's book we succeeded even if you failed but you tried you already got the reward in school or at work you try you fail they're not going to tell you oh you know what such a nice guy we're going to pass you anyway Mr Jones yeah you um we're sorry your uh your case is lost you're going to lose your entire business but uh we still like to get our feet for representing you in court so you should go borrow some money from a bank to pay us our fee yeah he's going to run to the bank you failed you're not going to get paid but with hem you fail if you tried you still get paid that's the beauty about Hashem that's when they when they say Hashem is merciful that's what they mean it's not merciful like I'm not going to keep Shabbat I'm going to drive on Shabbat and instead of uh instead of going to beet I'm going to go to the mall instead of fasting I'm going to eat shrimp instead of being modest I'm going to walk around half naked like most people today instead of doing anything that Hashem says I'm going to do something else something that's more modern something that's more politically correct you know uh the president's wife started a new style when he came into office she said that it's more presentable if you don't have sleeves even though for all recorded history modern you know all recorded history we've had the uh every woman that ever represented the president or even anyone important have to be modest but in this presidency we have something different it's the opposite so people say okay so I want to look just like the first lady she has no sleeves I want to have no sleeves she wears a short skirt I want to wear a short skirt she wears pants I want to wear pants and now you have people getting to a point where they're justifying their behavior even though the behavior is against the Tor now if we do all of this is obviously not going to be happy with us so the only thing that we can do before we get started in this and some of the other things we're going to talk about is we have to start learning about what Hashem actually said what he said what his opinion is once we know hashem's opinion it's the only thing that matters once we know hashem's opinion then we have the instructions we follow the instructions and we don't have to worry about the end of times we don't have to worry about the mhia coming tomorrow next week 5 years from now a lot of people are very stressed out about the fact that it's very possible that mhia is going to come any day and they're very stressed out and they're seeing that the situation in the world today is not exactly wonderful everyone wants to fight before Russia sent their tanks jeeps and helicopters to uh to fight Isis or at least that's what they're saying to fight Isis they sent a ship with 200 atomic bombs this is public knowledge 200 atomic bombs now if anyone actually believes that they brought 200 atomic bombs to fight Isis then the is not going to help you you need to go to a mental institution you do not need one atomic bomb for a bunch of gangsters so obviously the 200 atomic bombs are not for Isis if that wasn't enough about 2 and a half months ago they brought the largest submarine in the world that has more atomic bombs than the ship we just don't know how many more it's all again public knowledge the British times said that we're 30 seconds away from World War II America wants to fight everyone there's a revolution happening in the Middle East we have terrorists in the Israeli government we have all types of wonderful people running for presidency that obviously everyone asks themselves the same question is this the best we have we have a problem we have a problem so we find ourselves in a time that a war becomes a very very big possibility so people Jew especially are thinking about listen instead of waiting for America to turn into France maybe it's time to go maybe it's time to go to Israel even though they have problems over there too at least I know if I fall in the middle of the street they're going to actually care maybe it's time the good news is is that Hashem knows exactly where you are and as far as doing Aliah even though there are certain that you can do in said that you cannot do in the Exile the reality of it is that when you're considering Aliyah you have to consider a few things you can't just consider mashia you have to consider where are you going to be closer to Hashem Now by being closer to Hashem I don't mean physically because obviously hm is everything and everywhere but mean closer to hasem is where are you going to be more religious where are you going to learn more T where are you going to be more observant if it's more if it's easier for you to be more observant in the exile inica America and Canada and wherever else you live in the world then stay there because many people that go up to Israel they go they're religious within a few months they feel so comfortable and at home they start taking off their clothes and they become not religious so that's not exactly an ideal Aliyah so number one is where are you going to be closer to Hashem number two you can't be the only one that wants to do it you know it's called schom bite for a reason bite means family house if the wife wants to go but the husband doesn't then you can't go if the husband wants to go but the wife doesn't again you cannot go and last but not least the kids don't really matter because they don't know what they want they don't develop their opinion until they have their family and then last but not least is p if you know that you're if you're already if you're financially set if you're okay if you're going to be financially okay over there too and everything else is good then go but if you're not going to be okay and you're going to become homeless within a few weeks and obviously the answer is don't go so where do the come into play in terms of that you I I want I want to make my wife wants to make financially we're not there right but I'm doing to help me okay is that a that's the answer you have to do your depends on your on your um on your you have to exert as much effort as you're lacking Ina meaning if you have 100% you don't have to do anything you sit at home and money shows up it's really how it happens if you don't have 100% amuna which 99.9% of people do not it's it's very hard to get to that point then you have to exert am you have to exert effort how much effort depends on how much amuna you have now if you obviously if if you know in the back of your mind listen I have enough money to stay alive for a year before I have to go to work that's good but if after 6 months of not getting any income you already start getting stressed then that doesn't actually mean that you have a year worth of money you have 6 months worth of money because you have to calculate when are you going to start getting stressed out when is and we're not going to be tested because it will be tested there are three things that someone has to understand the only way to achieve them is through self-sacrifice one Tor you want to learn Torah and actually get to a point of actually knowing something in your life you have to know you have to sacrifice yourself you have to learn at night you have to learn in the morning you have to learn during the day you have to learn all the time you have to sacrifice when you're sick when you're healthy when you don't feel good you have to learn to a point where it's literally coming out of your eyes that's how you get to become a you don't become a just because you have a good memory just doesn't happen okay you'll know some things but and someone that knows T is two different things second thing is you want to live in comfortably it requires it requires self-sacrifice it requires you to go through a difficult test three you want to get to you have to sacrifice you have to do everything the opposite of what everyone else is doing this is all written in when everyone says listen we want to do whatever we want in the world you say Okay I want to do whatever hasm wants me to do for most people that's it's not easy for me to leave Wall Street business with $20 million and go to a point of having absolutely nothing and living off of a miracle was my own it wasn't a very very easy but the point is is that it's what's required not everyone has to go broke not everyone has to go through uh the sacrifice that I went through everyone has their own test but the point being is that anyone that's coming into this world expecting an easy life I'm already telling you it's not going to happen you're not going to achieve anything significant with an easy life you have to sacrifice you have to realize that there's going to be difficulty especially if you want to reach these three big goals which are the purpose of life you want to reach it's the only purpose of living in this world you came here to work you came here to earn your diamonds that you can actually use them in the actual money you earn in this world is doesn't count for anything over there the house you build for 1 million 5 million 10 million in this world stays here can't bring it with you the 16 cars also don't come the bank account stays here the stock portfolio stays here everything stays here the only thing that comes there is your MIT you show up there with a lot of mitv you're very very rich you show there with show up there naked you have yourself a problem because there's no chuv there's also no chuv or conversion once the mashia comes when we get our head around these things and we start thinking of all these things we just mentioned it could easily change our life in a different direction once someone starts looking at life in a different perspective where they start saying okay you know what I didn't come here to be the best looking uh person in the world I didn't come here to be the most popular I didn't come here to be the uh the one that's on television all the time I didn't come here to be all these things that people run after I came here to serve AEM if you ask why did hm create mankind is a very simple answer to sanctify his name Kem that's it if you're not sanctifying hashem's name you have no purpose that's it how do we know number one person of all time mosenu mosenu tells us in this week's parim he starts the fifth book of the torat that was actually originally his personal Journal it wasn't supposed to be part of the tah but here he reviews what actually happened this whole book is actually the last five weeks of mos renu's life and here he starts the book by rebuking am is and tell him listen once I tell you everything I have to tell you Hashem already said I'm going to die I'm not going to enter the land with you and once you enter the land the Holy Land The Miracles you saw in Egypt and in the desert it's not going to be the same yes you're going to have some Miracles but it's not going to be the same food is not going to come from sham anymore you actually have to go to work the cloud is not going to follow you you have to go take a shower the pillar of Fire is also not going to follow you you have to figure out a way to make some candles people are not exactly going to like you well they never did that's going to stay the same but the point is that the Miracles and the SE that we had in the desert it's not going to stay the same and I'm not going to be here the one that spoke to Hashem face to face not physically obviously because hasem doesn't have an image but the one that spoke to hm in any way that he wanted every other Prophet we had throughout all of time according to thear the only way they could talk to Hashem is when they were not conscious either through some type of dream or meditation or epilepsy they were not conscious they were laying down or sitting mosenu was talking to hasem whenever he wanted however he wanted and he was always awake hem this is the reason why hasem asked mosenu to leave his wife he's the only person in the history that Hashem told him to leave his wife and the reason why he says that the only way that I could talk to you is if you're pure and once a man is with his wife he's not pure spiritually pure so he has to go to a mikve I want to talk to you whenever I want Moshe so I don't want to wait for you to go to the mik so you already have two kids you have to leave your wife and Moshe left his wife no questions asked so this Moshe this amazing human being that didn't even want to be a leader didn't even want the job it's telling by the way I'm telling you all of this I'm studying this with these are the words that Moshe spoke what do you mean what what what what are they talking m is telling M so listen guys I'm not going to be here so when you guys screwed up practically every week for the last 40 years and hasm wanted to annihilate you I was able to pray for you and save you when Hashem said let me destroy them and start a new better Nation from you Moshe I said no erase me from your book first when you guys accused me of stealing the money or stealing your wives and hasem wanted to annihilate you for that too said no noem it's okay when you went and with all of the women of the go and Hashem put a plague without even warning us killing 24,000 people in a matter of moments out of all of the punishment we got throughout all of am is's history this is the only time hasem did not warn us every other punishment we ever got whether it's the destruction of the bet mikdash the gold golden CF anything we got a warning first with the midianite women when we violated hashem's Covenant the Brit we wasted seed we went with the go we violated the laws of modesty Shem says I don't need people like this let me just destroy all of them no questions asked no warning no email no text message he decided mosu had one of his end the plague but nonetheless it was only because of theot of mosenu and his Torah that hasem even had a reason to save this world every single time we went against theem came for us and now he's telling us listen guys I'm not going to be here anymore I'm going to a different world I'm going to the real world so I'm not going to be able to save you oh and by the way the reason why I'm not going to be here is your fault you guys got me angry and I never really get angry and instead of talking to the Rock I hit it and Hashem says that because of this I can't enter the land this doesn't really make any sense sense what do you mean you hit the rock so what you hit the rock that's it mosu the greatest person that ever lived in history that hasem specifically wanted a unique relationship with him that no man will ever have or ever had before him hit a rock and that's it it all ends I don't want to talk to you anymore you're not going to enter the land that's it doesn't sound fair kind of sounds mean so kazal gives us a few secrets of why the happened first and foremost if we look at the par that it's written in and also in this week's Paras it's not because Hashem is upset that he hit the actual rock because technically Moshe had a perfectly good reason to hit the rock if you're rewinded 40 years the first time that the water came out Hashem said hit the rock and this time he told them bring the stick but speak to the Rock why bring the stick I'm not I'm only going to speak to it so a perfectly logical reason to hit the rock he hit it before it worked hit it again he's still human why didem gets so upset is because Moses my son by hitting the rock you did not sanctify my name because since everyone knew that 40 years ago you hit the rock I wanted to make sure that you bring your stick you bring this shaft one of the 10 things that was created in the first seven days of creation benot the time Twilight on Friday those 10 things that were created Moses's stick was one of them so I want you to bring this stick which according to Kaz weighed 674 PBS big stick bring it but don't use it why because since they know you hid it before I want to make sure you don't do it now because if you do it now they're going to say oh this happened before so Moses probably just knows how to hit rocks in a certain way this is just nature it happened before it happened again so it's just this is normal not miraculous anymore when was the last time any of you went outside saw rain because it rain's almost every day in boaron honestly when I first moved here two years ago I thought we were in a flood I thought Noah is coming to save me or at least I was hoping he was going to come because it literally rains every day in boaron so now when was the last time you went and saw rain you said wow what a miracle anybody ever say that even once in their life I never did until I started learning a little bit about rain rain do you know that when it rains we've said this in many lectures but it's always just as exciting each time rains it starts you know the cloud is 10 15 20 30,000 ft above us so a bunch of drops and the drop goes down goes down goes down goes down with trillions and trillions of other drops and arrives at you and doesn't hurt right if somebody took a bucket and dropped it from Just 10 feet above you and it's not exactly the most Pleasant feeling so we know that if someone drops something significant from really high it hurts but when these little drops drop they don't hurt why because hem made a nice Miracle every time where no two drops ever touch each other no matter how strong the wind is no matter which way it's going no matter if it's going in two different directions simultaneously no two drops of rain will ever touch all the way from 30,000 ft all the way until they touch the ground now what's the big deal okay so they don't touch if two drops touch that means three drops can touch if three drops touch then four and five and six and seven and by the time they get from 30,000 ft to you it it's a lot more than a bucket it's a pool and when a pool drops on a person from 30,000 ft they don't live they don't live so every time it rains it's a miracle aside from the fact that if it doesn't rain we won't survive and so on but this is a stuff that everyone takes for granted just the fact of how rain drops is amazing then why don't we make a when it rains make a when we see you do supposed to make technically yeah supposed to make a any benefit including rain when you see when you see a rain you have to make a a separate for thunder and lightning why not a separate instead of for rain as well if it's because in essence that's what it is rain is is is goodness that Hashem is a is giving us it is the ultimate goodness because without it it's the sustenance of the world uh but in general I mean there's a uh a lot of the uh to is used for a lot of different things not just for rain for other things have a separate yeah could have a separate you're right yeah right I didn't make the they didn't ask me figur you have the answer I don't I it's a good question good question there is a possibility there is another B I don't know it that's that's also more possible than them not making one um but nonetheless we have Miracles happening every single minute we don't really take them as miracles and now mosu is in a situation where he was supposed to perform a miracle you're supposed to show am a miracle where now because he doesn't hit the rock he speaks to it it's different from last time then says wow he just spoke to the Rock and water came out that's a miracle it's the first time we never saw we saw him hit it so that was a trick but now he just spoke to it and water came out that's new must be a miracle and when you make a miracle or when hasem makes a miracle it sanctifies his name this is why anyone that actually has a miracle happen in their life their life gets saved or anything happens in their life a good recommendation is to do a to do a thank you meal to Hashem and publicize the miracle because the reason why hasem one of the main reasons whyem gives you specifically Miracles is to sanctify his name he's giving you an opportunity to do Kem to publicize his name so what's the benefit of publicizing his name number one you're fulfilling your purpose in the world and number two it gives him a reason to give you another miracle oh look I gave a miracle I saved him from a accident he made a whole party just to celebrate my name oh it's worth it to do business with him gives you another miracle oh look the guy got a better job with a 50% raise what a miracle oh look he did another suda wow look now he found a you know a good z a woman that doesn't actually uh hate him another miracle he does another oh look at that he learned a page of he actually understood what it says it's another miracle and he's doing every time he does every day he's celebrating hm's name it's good to doing business with them sh's going to keep giving them Miracles Moses missed an opportunity to sanctify aem's name he missed an opportunity to fulfill his ultimate purpose obviously in his level in our level it wouldn't even be counted as a sin in his level it's counted as a missed opportunity that he wasn't allowed to miss and therefore that was one of the reasons why Hashem did not allow him to go into Israel but the real reason is it's not just because of that the real reason has a lot more to do with the shab we lost bet mikdash the first one and the second one for different reasons the first bet mikash we lost because of murder we lost because of idol worship we lost because of sex crimes and those are three very general words most people think it's only murder Like Somebody went and stabbed somebody else cuz they didn't have guns back then and idol worship everyone thought that it's just you know a bunch of people get some Idols from Chinatown and they started bowing to them and sex crimes everybody thinks that everyone had a business on the side of prostitutions it's not that there's a lot more to it than just those three first of all as far as how do people worship idols in today's age I don't know because doesn't make any sense but in those days the idols actually had power the idols actually talked and moved and did things they actually did have the power to heal hem gave them the power to heal that was the yet of the generation until Kaz prayed non-stop begging hem to remove this yet because they said there's no way we can beat it there's no way we can stop is from worshiping Idols when they're performing Miracles you say please give me a million dollars this little wooden thing that's walking around gives you a million dollars what's going to cause you to stop worshiping it said we can't do it so hasem took away the power of the idols and he took away the T the desire for the idols as far as the uh idol worship unfortunately we're still failing for idol worship today it's called money you know dollar has in God we trust there's a reason for that most people think it's God and the sex crimes is not just prostitution sex crimes also means wasting seed which we did a three and a half hour lecture on in New York a few months ago it's very very popular it's the only comprehensive lecture in the English language that's recorded about wasting seed this is very sad the fact that I was the one that did it and and actually publicized this lecture is great it's wonderful but it's also it's more sad to me that I'm the only one that did it than it is making me happy because wasting seed is one of the reasons why we lost to bet mikdash wasting seed is one of the reasons why some people go to Gom and never leave wasting seed is one of the biggest crimes in Judaism and tah and most Jews don't even know it exists and I'm talking about Yeshiva kids don't even know not obviously the secular doesn't know even what Shabbat is talk about wasting seed once we keep Shabbat talk about wasting seed once we eat kosher and stop eating shrimp but when someone that goes to Yeshiva for 15 years doesn't know that wasting seeds a big deal we have ourselves a problem doesn't that make to a certain extent in terms of that he doesn't no so how is he supposed to it says a sin that comes the sin accidental sin that comes as a result of lack of learning turns into maid turns into a purpose purposeful sin meaning that if you make a sin because you did not want to learn then your sin is no longer accidental it becomes on purpose so meaning that anyone that's for examp example for any sin for any sin this is a mish this is even before the any sin that the reason why they make a sin is because they didn't want to learn not they just didn't get to it they're learning to every day they just didn't get to this mitvah that's shog but if they don't know because they just don't want to learn they want to watch the game instead they want to go to the mall they want to go hang out with the guys they want to have a couple of beers talking about students right right students they're more into the going back and they they're obligated to learn they're obligated to learn the entire at some point obviously they uh they need to learn what they learned they're not at fault when they're 15 years old to the same extent as they're going to be at fault when they finish Isa they're not going to be in Isa forever but I'm not even just talking about people that are 15 years old I'm talking about people that are 25 they're already adults they have a family or they're trying to get a family at this point they're at a point that they're supposed to know the the fact is is that it's not not really their fault though yes their problem is a problem the bigger fault is the rabbis the bigger fault is the political correctness that we have in the world that doesn't want to talk about this topic because it's not very nice it's not very polite you know we pretend like it's not happening like we pretend we didn't see the guy drive to sh on Shabbat still going to give him an Aliyah pretend he nice guy donated you know $5,000 last year let's give him an alah make him feel good maybe next week he'll drive a nicer car to shabbat we have to stop pretending so the key is that we have to start telling people what's happening and make them decide forsel because most people the only learning of Tora that they have is the one time they go to Bess a week for they here for five you know 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes that's it they're not going to learn the rest the week so in reality most people don't even know what T is they heard what it is but they don't know the beauty of T so when you don't tell them the truth during those 15 minutes what do you expect them to do when you telling them about the of instead of telling them what is why you even here why would the guy want to learn toah it's boring they tell them listen you and your wife should treat each other nice I don't need to go to besset to learn about that yeah I remember I need to treat her nice cuz last time I wasn't treat nice she tried stabbing me that didn't work for me I don't need to I don't need a rabbi to tell me that so we have to start telling people the truth so when you have really one comprehensive sh about a big sin it's a problemu wanted to make sure that is of his generation did not have that problem and he spent the next five weeks of his life telling am is the most difficult things we ever heard kazal says that the first time hasem gave us the par in The Book of Leviticus chapter 26 it's very harsh par you have 10 verses of blessings 40 of C curses K says that anyone thinks that the curses are more significant than the blessings doesn't know what he's talking about it's just that the blessings were General each one is so big the entire TOA is not enough to describe it the curse is hasem wanted to be specific to make sure that if you do this you know exactly what you're going to get one of the punishments is is something that most people that read the Paras every single week of their life still never understood I tested this a few times I tested it with Hebrew speaking people with Israelis which is more surprising speak to an Israeli you think he speaks Hebrew you figure that he understands what the B is saying when he read you know hears the Tor so had a sh in New York and uh it was actually during and I talked to this one of these guys that doesn't know why he came to the world just like I was in a worse situation than him and I was trying to help him do Chua by telling him that he's ruining his eternity both here and in the next World by doing what he's doing and the fact that he comes to Bess it makes it even worse says but why I'm a nice guy I donate money I'm nice to my wife she doesn't want to stab me I have nice kids they wear keas on the weekends we e kosher once in a while I'm a nice guy I'm on the board of directors of my community everyone one likes me I'm a nice guy butm doesn't take that into account I come to mcness at least three times a year what's the problem said yes you are a very nice guy based on human definition based on hashem's definition you have yourself a problem says okay show me said actually I could show you from this week's par said do you remember what you read in goes yeah yeah of course how many times you read wow many years at least 20 definitely at least 20 so you remember the punishment section said yeah I remember there was something about punishment said do you remember what it said in the punishment section goes no I don't remember everything I mean I read it 20 times I didn't take commit it to memory I said but we read it today though right goes read it today said you remember that Hashem divided up the punishment into five sections five levels of punishment says yeah something like that said do you remember the fifth level no I don't remember what did it say I said it's hasem made a promise he made a promise that if you don't do chuva after the four levels of punishment the fifth level is that you'll eat your children really like eat them do you remember that part he looked at me like you guys look looking at me like did he really just say that is it actually written in the Torah yeah it's written in the Tor and it actually happened more than once it happened in it happened in it happened in the Holocaust it's the part that they don't really like to talk about it happened in the Holocaust obviously not on purpose we didn't become psychopath cannibals we were left no option one of the stories that R galinski says he went through the Holocaust survived but he saw things that no man should ever see say one of these days that these Wicked Nazis made sure that we worked non-stop to the point where some of the people died during the job but after they worked us and worked us and worked us eventually it stopped without eating without drinking without resting non-stop we're wondering if we're worse off than the people of Egypt finally we finished and we saw that this Nazis is cooking right next to where we sleep in a huge pot and we thought ah maybe they're trying to surprise us because we worked so hard finally there's a little bit of heart in these evil monsters we saw them cooking for us cooking meat I haven't seen meat in years and we all ran and people ran and started grabbing whatever meat they can get and started eating it without even thinking twice of what it is how it is when people say I died of starvation it was actually literally happening during the Holocaust and then one of the Jews screamed out to them says no and told them what it was and R galinski says the saddest part was when I realized that the verse that is written in the Tora came true that was the saddest part we need to know these things because when Hashem said them he was serious and if we find ourselves in the end of times according to the he had a conversation for two days straight with theit two days straight of talking with the exception of breaks to go pray theic disclosed some of the secrets he didn't tell us everything but the level of Holiness that the had is not something we could really understand but he gave us some secrets about what's going to happen at the end of times this was before World War II 20 years before World War II right after World War I he says that the next World War is going to make the first world [Applause] war much worse good background music for that second says the second world war is going to be so bad it's going to make the first world war look like kindergarten and the last war the war of goou Magog is going to make the second world war look like the garden we only have one shot at life yes there's gilim there's all this other wonderful things we could talk about another time but no one should rely on it not that it's not true but shouldn't rely on the fact that you actually have time because we've all have been here before many times we are the worst of all the the generations we've screwed up many times this is our shot if hasem is saying something to us in the Tora we have to start taking it seriously mosu knew this mosenu knew that am is is going to sin if he doesn't scare them to death this is why in the end of is is terrified to death and mosu tries to relax them he says don't worry don't be so scared of hem he loves you he's only scaring you so you don't sin a lot of people don't like rabbis like me that scare people but according to hasem this is the only way to be Hashem did it Hashem wrote half of the T that's scary so we don't sin if we don't know of course we're going to sin mosu told him listen Hashem told me I can't go into Israel but we know the reason Hashem knows the future he knows that in the next several centuries we're going to build a bet mikdash but eventually am is going to sin great sins each one of the sins is enough to destroy the world one Shabbat is enough to destroy the world by the way one is enough to destroy the world one waste seed one not the ones that everyone does one why because we know that every Jew is enough to build the entire world just for him but that very same Jew is destroying connection with hem with that very same sin that we've talked about several times like all these other things so hasm already knows we're going to sin not one not two not three but major sins the worst possible sins and then the Satan himself is going to come to hm and he say listen hem when you wrote the Torah 974 Generations before you created the world you signed it and your autographs says emit emit truth meaning that it can never change your opinion doesn't change your mind doesn't change nothing changes whatever is written that's it and one of the main reasons why hasem put it in writing is to limit himself because he loves us so much being his creation that if he didn't write it he could change the rul rules say listen m is aad he has G not so much he cheated on his wife he stole more money than mid off did but he's very funny he's a very nice guy no let's let him into gedan I like him that's what hasm would have done cuz he loves him it's his son but he can't why cuz he wrote in the Tor cuz if he would have done it then M would have complained said wait I worked really really hard to get in here what is this guy doing what's he doing herea look at this guy he's here is going ask the same question and all the people that have been sacrificing their life to sanctify hm's name are going to ask the question what is this guy doing here what is hasm going to say oh no he's funny he's a nice guy he brought his wife flowers for Friday before he went to the casino what's he going to say so hasm said no no I have to limit myself I love you too much so I have to write in the Tora that I can't do it I can't change because if it's written in the Tor that's it it can't change so now the Satan comes to Hashem and he says to hasem okay Hashem listen you said that if your nation sins all of these sins you destroy them now they made all these sins according to your Tor you have to destroy them says yes you're right but I also put something against it my house that was my collateral so I have to I have to destroy my house and not destroy my children I have to destroy my house instead of my children now what is have to do with mosu when hasem made a deal with Moshe he made a deal everything that Moshe does is going to be Eternal when mosenu said how are they going to know that I actually spoke to you Hashem Hashem says I'm going to speak to you in public you're going to be the only person ever in history that will speak to me in public hasem made a promise meaning that anyone that wants to say oh listen there's a mistaken atah all they have to do is write some in some book listen Hashem spoke to six people in public no one ever did why because hem controls everything but by doing this Hashem said they're going to remember you forever because everything that you're going to do is going to be Eternal everything that m is going to do is going to have an eternal impact has to stay for eternity the to that I gave is relevant for eternity the written Torah the oral Torah everything that M who touched has to be for eternity can never be destroyed is that he took out of Egypt eternity everyone has tried to destroy us for the last several centuries one after another for 3,000 years already trying to destroy us not succeeding instead you're seeing the Romans the Babylonians the Greeks the Germans the Turks the Spaniards the whoever else is going to come before after them all of them are no longer here what was the last time he spoke to a Roman so now if mosenu would have G gone into is first thing you would have done is what you want to sanctify hm's name so what do you do you build a bet mikdash he already has a bet mikdash in a desert that he built the mishkan so now he has he has some more money he has a land he doesn't have to go from place to place he's got a bunch of people that want to do it he doesn't need any authorization from the government let's start working he builds the bet mikdash now if he builds the bet mikdash they can sanctify his name but what happens if we fast forward a thousand years am still sins when am is sins the Satan comes to hasm and says listen you have to destroy the mikdash you have to destroy them or the mikdash says yeah no I don't want to destroy them let me you destroy the BET mdash oh wait I can't destroy the BET mikdash why Moses built it which which means that if Moses would have come into into is they wouldn't be is that's the real reason it's not because of the Rock The Rock is just gives us a taste giv us a meaning because we don't have the responsibility of mosu we're not going to go build the bet mikdash in our own hands we're not going to talk to hem face to face we're not going to do anything that mosu did but we could do one thing we could realize that the purpose of life is to sanctify shem's name so much so that it looks likeu lost his to go into is because he missed an opportunity one opportunity not one not two not three not five one opportunity to sanctify hm's name once we realize how much of a big deal it is to do Kem so oh I can do this so mosenu wanted to make sure wanted to make sure that is knows that whatever hem said in he wasn't joking so if we fast forward a few weeks we're going to go into andaz says that is much more harsh than the curses are worse it's it's just more detailed it's harder it's supposed to be easy it's coming from Moshe how could it be hasem I understand he's upset we didn't treat him the right way we weren't fair Moshe come on you one of us but then they explained that Moshe got to such a point of loving AEM so much that he couldn't bear the thought of anyone going against theem so just like for example two brothers have a fight and they beat each other up every day but then somebody else comes and beats one of the brothers up and all of a sudden we have World War 7 listen I'm allowed to beat him up but you you're not allowed to touch him same thing same thing na but same thing so m is telling is you've made a lot of these sins throughout the last 40 years and I want to let you know that you're not going to be able to continue getting away with it one of the biggest mistakes that you made is that you didn't take Hashem seriously but here in chapter one the first chapter verse um 8 says see I have given the land before you come and possess the land that Hashem swore to your forefathers to Abraham to is and yob to give them and their children after them you have to ask yourself a question obviously we've heard about andov more than once more than twice we've heard about him since the first book of the tah why do they keep mentioning it okay know hasm promised and yov I got it the first time second time I got it also the third time I got it why do I have to keep mentioning it every single time he mentions This Promise This Covenant they keep mentioning ab and yob because of not only because of their but also to show us that hem doesn't forget he made a deal the deal stands it's not like today's deals where it stands until it's not convenient anymore you know people go into a business everyone is very high hopes as soon as they start making money they hate each other the point of going into the business was to make money together but for some reason everyone starts hating each other after they actually start succeeding no no but I put more work no but I put more time no but my family is more popular no but I this but what happened deals change deals change hashem's deals don't change that's why he keeps mentioning the same Partners after we realized that AEM was very serious about giving us this land he took us out of Egypt we heard all this good news all these wonderful things and then uh said okay listen it all sounds wonderful lands the land sounds pretty good milk and honey great but uh we want to send a few people to go check it out they didn't want to take aem's word for it to send a few people people so they sent a person from each tribe which we learned about a few weeks ago and it turned out to be a disaster 10 out of the 12 people came back with a report that badmouthed the land of Israel and eventually turn into badmouthing mosenu and eventually turn into bad mouthing hasm himself started saying bad things about Hashem Hashem hates us that's why he brought us out of Egypt because he hates us it's a punishment hasm is giving him a miracle every second giving him food from sham they don't have to go to the bathroom for 40 years they don't have to shave they don't have to take a shower they don't have to work there a miracle non-stop but no he hates us sounds ridiculous but this is what happened why because we didn't trust AEM we didn't want to take his word for it we didn't want to have any IMA so okay wrote all these things it's wonderful but let me check it out it's like sometimes I go to shim and I tell him all these things that I've been telling you guys all night and tomatoes are still in your pocket you asked us to keep them there I was hoping you'd listen sometimes they don't listen No but sometimes I have a shoe with somebody and you know it's to to be a speaker been doing it for many years professionally as you know in the business world and then eventually into the real world of Tora and when you speak it's not something that you uh something you have to train you have to it's not easy looks a lot easier than what it really is but it's takes time and so on so most important part when you're speaking is to always have a clear mind you have to constantly be focused sometimes when people like stand up in the middle of the lecture or they play or they do something uh or even somebody just they uh makes a joke seems like it's nothing seems like it's not really a big deal but it you could completely lose uh uh your um concentration and uh forget what you're even saying so sometimes when I have shim and someone ask me completely not relevant question and asked me hey I'm talking about mosu I don't know something I'm talking about something and they ask me about some that they heard from someone and they ask me what page it is on some like I'm some computer and but just thinking about it you lose your concentration so this happens sometimes wasn't exactly uh the most trusting Nation similar to that person that person wanted to you know you told him something you told him that shabb is has three different punishments all these different disasters that it's written in the Tora they okay show me the verse okay I can show you the verse after this you I could show you the verse quickly now if you want but okay show me it somewhere else show me this show me this show me this they don't they don't want to take your word for it am was very similar said listen Hashem said all these wonderful things great we want to check it out though so they went and checked it out 10 of them came back with bad reports they said listen yes there's great things there is Big Trees the uh grape vine they brought with them many people had I think it was eight people had to carry it one grape another one had to carry one pomeg Granite nice they said yes but just like we have these big fruits there's also these big people they have Giants have huge huge giants that to them were so small their pupils are bigger than us pupils of their eyes are bigger than us we're like grasshoppers in their pupils so people that see like Sci-Fi movies and they see all these Giants it's not an original thought it's actually written in the so we're scared of all these Giants they're going to they're stronger than Hashem it's not really very good news is uh it's a little bit of a problem when you say something like that you're saying that hashem's creation is stronger than him hasem got pretty upset so 10 all 10 of those people died and then the rest of the generation anyone that was above the age of 20 could never enter the land of Israel and had to die in a desert over the next years with the exception of calb and Joshua which were the two Messengers out of the 12 that didn't say about hasem or about Moses or about the land of Israel so this is a pretty big deal now in this Moses reminds him of this it's like Listen by the way your parents and your grandparents that died this is why they died they started saying stupid things about hasem and um we've been in suffering because of them for 40 years I'm telling you this so you don't do it and chapter 1 verse 41 says this then you spoke up and said to me we've sinned to Hashem after they learned that Hashem was going to punish them and leave them in a uh desert for 40 years and never entered the land they said okay okay fine fine we s to Hashem but not only we sent to okay we we admit we made a mistake we'll go up and we're going to battle we're going to go fight these Giants and whoever is in our way just like Hashem commanded us everyone grabbed their weapons but then Hashem said to me tell them don't go up to M Mountain don't Ascend and do not battle for I am not among youm said don't go up the mountain don't go fight anyone it's too late you already said what you said it's too late for Chua you going to die in a desert and what do they do they ignored him they went up the mountain anyway to go fight so I spoke to you but you did not listen m is telling them you rebelled against the word of Hashem now not only did you go against them the first time which got you into this mess in the first place but then you decide no I want to do chva but you want to do chuva in your own way way not the way that Hashem said Hashem said wear a modest dress you want to wear a mini skirt what Still Still dress just shorter Hashem said be religious you convert it to Christianity Hashem said eat kosher he said okay so I'll eat kosher in the house but outside we could do whatever we want you did CH your own way Shem says be honest said okay I'm going to be honest about the few things that I tell people whatever I don't tell them doesn't matter if I'm honest or not you pick and choose and you went with me with nonchalant you treated me like it's a happen stance like you could do whatever you want so hashm didn't accept our Chua and how do we know how do we know that their chuv was not genuine because they said and you spoke to hasem he said we've sinned but there's three words in the Hebrew language that mean sinu means we made an accidental sin not on purpose I didn't know it was Saturday so I turned on the light ainu means we did it we knew it was a sin but we still did it we didn't feel like doing the Mitzvah we didn't feel like listening to hem we did it anyway we know Shabbat we still want to turn the light we still want to play with our phone panu means we did it on purpose to make Hashem angry unfortunately yes there are some people like this and anyone that gets really really upset that in life and blames hem for it can get to that point so now am is saying no no the all the bad things we said about Hashem all the bad things we said about Moses all the bad things that uh we said about the land of Israel that was katanu that was like the lowest level was accidental wasn't like we didn't mean it we just kidding so right away you see that okay this is not a genuine Chua this is not a serious TR I at least admit that you meant it but you're sorry like sometimes somebody makes a mistake and you know it's a mistake when someone walks into the wrong bathroom he goes into the women's bathroom instead of the men's bathroom because he didn't pay attention to the sign that's a mistake when he gives you a $20 bill instead of a $50 bill because he didn't notice that the 20 and a 50 look very similar that's a mistake it's a mistake you didn't see it mistake but if he saw it's a women's bathroom and he went there on purpose it's not a mistake it's a psycho paath well actually in today's world it's actually legal according to Obama if you stole money that's not a mistake you're a thief if you cheated it's not a mistake you're a cheater it's not a mistake there's a mistake and it's something you did on purpose the way to do Chua is at least admit where you stand Hashem will accept you either way but it has to be genuine you can't tell them no no no it's a mistake I didn't mean to curse out the rabbi for the next 6 months on the Internet it's a mistake what your fingers fell on the keyboard and printed out of these world all these words so we have to at least be genuine about our CH and this is when we saidu hasem didn't accept our CH because they not even serious about CH they're pretending like they made a mistake there wasn't a mistake but on top of making a mistake when I told him okay listen it wasn't a mistake I'm not accepting your Chua you forced it he said no no not only we're going to do chuva we're going to do chuva in our own way we're going to keep half of Shabbat we're going to go to beet with the car on Shabbat this is unfortunately very very common in Florida and a lot of places in the country where people drive to B on Shabbat because for some reason or another people think that going to beet is more important than Shabbat it's not Al is to keep Shabbat Al is not to go to beet you're not obligated to go to besset it's good if you go to besset it's very good you get cies you get two thumbs up in sh for you pray you listen to the you say Amen when they say kadish it's big deal but if you arrive there with a car on Shabbat even if you go to beet 500,000 times it's not going to be the equivalent of you turning on the ignition once on Shabbat once not even talking about driving it just turn on the ignition turn it off I actually have a student in um Canada he's in the car business he's an engineer of some kind I don't exactly know what he the details of his job but he knows cars I don't know anything about cars I just know if I like it or I don't like it if it drives from point A to point B good so he sent me a report the spread sheet and he says you always say you know you and RAB M always talk about how you're violating Shabbat when you drive the car many many times because and I've heard this from you and I actually wanted to tell you how many times so he did this formula this calculation based on the RPMs of the car based on the engine of the car and what it means based on the mileage of how fast you're going or how how much you're press in the gas and in your best case scenario in the worst car on the market we're not talking about a Ferrari talk about the worst possible car the slowest one the worst one press the gas once it's the equivalent of 3,000 fires meaning three times 3,000 times violating Shabbat cuz each violation is by itself it's not like you violate Shabbat and the whole Shabbat gone each one is separate which means if someone violated the first hour of Shabbat for whatever reason or another and then woke up and oh wait a minute this guy that was talking about the whole maybe maybe there's something to with what he's saying until I verified that what he said is real or not real I have to start keeping it so he woke up after an hour said okay what should I do I already violated the first hour doesn't matter start Shabbat at that moment you keep the the rest of Shabbat every other violation that you do whether it's turning on the light or playing with the phone or anything else it's a new violation it's not one violation that ruins the entire Shabbat each violation is by itself each violation is s by itself obviously just like each Mitzvah is by itself one doesn't cancel the other out when we get to shim and we go in front of the bed of sh it's not that the mitv cancel the sins two accounts two completely separate accounts our hope is that we have more mitv but either way the sins stay there and we'll have to pay for them there's no such thing as like oh no I meet so many mitv that they're just going to disregard any sins that they made there's no such thing we have to pay for our sins we have much bigger MIT than we have sins but to think that if I violate Shabbat once I turn on the phone by accident I answer the phone call for whatever reason or another I watched TV or I did any of these things that people do and okay if I already did that once might as well kill the whole Shabbat it's not a good idea so this guy actually sent me a report and he said the worst car in the market each time you turn on the ignition is 3,000 fires it's 3,000 times you violated Shabbat so it's a problem you have a lot of making up to do so how do we make up how do we do Chua for violating Shabbat how do we do for these giant sins that um I mean we can't go back in time they say okay listen you went to Shure stay there for two hours without throwing a tomato you started keeping Shabbat great good job you lived another 50 years 60 years 100 years you kept Shabbat for all that time terrific you only have one problem what's the problem I didn't keep Shabbat for the first 25 years okay now we discount the first 13 years so you have a you have a 15 years let's say of missing Shabbat 15 years of missing Shabbat is a big account even if it's just one violation every year every every week it's a big problem so how do I make it up the answer to that is also the same answer to anyone who wants a miracle and it's also the same to anyone that wants to have something to show the mashia that he could actually show off with in the beginning of this year I told you that there's only two things that are going to save us when mashia comes T we already learned we have to take AEM seriously when we do chuva whether it's for modesty or if it's for Shabbat or it's for learning t or for lack of learning of Torah or it's for doing anything that we did that's against aem's word the very least we can do is be genuine Hashem knows what's in your mind it's one of the 13 principles of faith that you have to believe in Hashem knows what you're thinking meaning if you say I can't stand this mitah hem knows you still have to do it even if you don't like it eventually you like it point is be honest with yourself because he already knows the truth so the first step of chuva is honesty do it do what you have to start doing your chuv that's fulfilling the Torah that's the T you have to learn T every day as much as you can obviously if you have a career you have to make sure that you make time for the Torah today there's obviously no excuse for not learning T because you could learn T in a million different ways you could read books if you like books you could watch shim you could listen to them you could go to shim there's no end of to that you can get you can go to Torah uh Torah anytime.com watch there's maybe over 400 rabbis over there different styles different strategies not everyone is the same not everyone's going to tell you to stop throwing Tomatoes some are nicer than me but the point is that you'll find your own style whatever you like you find if you like my shim we have also on Torah anytime we have also on my website be.org there's three or 400 hours worth of Torah there's also a WhatsApp group that you get uh maybe short clips maybe four or five short clips a day of different sh if you don't have time to learn you know to watch a two-hour lecture you have five minutes we'll send you uh the lectures and 5 minute clipss with the point there's no end of how much to you learn so means that when you show up to sh you can't say no I didn't have time no such thing hasem made it very very easy why because it's the end of days it's a last shot can't rely on Gil gulim anymore can't rely on reincarnation coming back having another shot I wasn't ready you know remember when you were like little kids and the guy threw the ball at you but you didn't catch the ball and hit you in the face and you just pretended you weren't ready no no I wasn't ready you're just dyslexic you not you were ready so you can't show up there and say I wasn't ready okay so now we know what to what's the what's the what's the one that's going to help me have something to show off to mashia while at the same time help me repent for my past sins which is we all have a big account what's it going to be answer is kiru help people do chuva how do you do kiru not everyone has to give lectures especially not at 11:00 at night but you could do kiru in a number of different ways you can do K with your mouth if you have the speaking ability and knowledge great if not if you don't have the knowledge or the speaking ability or the time you could do it in other ways you could share CDs like Joey did he got 50 CDs going to give people CDs each CD is a dollar you give it to people it's free each one of the CDs has 30 hours of lectures short ones long ones someone's listens to a lecture hears about these different things that we talked about says oh Wow's not kidding he's providing verses he's providing proof this is serous I got to get my act together if I want to have a shot for actually uh a decent life in this world and the next somebody does chuva every single time he does a Mitzvah he goes into your account this doesn't only build your accountant of good things it also makes up for bad things meaning that every time he or she keep Shabbat you keep Shabbat which means that you keep your own Shabbat obviously because you already did chat because you're all sikim cuz you also listen to the CD but now you got somebody else to listen to the CD and they started keeping Shabbat so now you're keeping two shabbats every Shabbat is two but now he got married and he did he made sure that he did the same thing as you he got her to keep Shabbat so now you have three people so now her mitv also go into your account because it came from your $1 investment she started keeping Shabbat now they're going to kids at least two kids and a dog in today's world so you have two kids they're going to keep Shabbat their kids they're going to keep Shabbat next thing you know you have a whole pyramid of people keeping Shabbat and it makes up every week instead of you keeping Shabbat once you're keeping 50 becomes much easier to catch up in 15 years of not keeping Shabbat if you do more actively instead of just donating one CD you do more you have a better shot if you don't have any money fine you could do for free it's called the internet there are links you go to the website take the link press copy go to somebody you like go to if you're already on Facebook if you're already on WhatsApp if you're already on any of these social media websites if you're already there just press copy paste post that's it whoever clicks on it listens D same thing free whatever you want to do there's a way to do it you could support kiru financially you can do it yourself you can do kiru in a number of different ways but the most important part is to understand that this is the most significant part of your chv it's the most important mitvah of Our Generation and a reason why is because number one we all made at least I did way too many sins to make up for them in one lifetime I'm going to show up to sh say okay listen I did CH great I started learning to great wonderful wonderful good job but you still have 30 years missing in your account you have a deficit can't just say oh just you know such a nice guy and you make jokes once in a while that are not really funny when it let you go you have to pay for it okay I I don't want to pay for it with their account to have over there I want to pay for it over here so you get people do CH so number one it's the best way to do full repentance number two if you learn TOA it makes your mind much clearer it makes you learn much better to meaning you can do more with less time third thing is you want to have a shot of being there and proud of what you have when the mashiach shows up or even when all of us get to the real world whenever it is that's the same thing as mashiah it's the end every one of us has a personal mashiah we get up there we have to pay the bill you want to have something to show for it okay listen I wasn't exactly do do I wasn't exactly the biggest Genius of that generation I didn't know the by heart I didn't know verses by heart I know a little bit I started a little bit I started a half hour in the morning I started another hour at night fine I wasn't uh RAM but look at my account got, 1500 people that I helped du cha got 15,000 people I helped do Chua I organized a lecture at least once a month each lecture had 30 40 people each time we had a lecture at least five people did chuva you times that by 5 10 years 20 years 30 years I posted lectures online people watched it it became very very big next thing you know I have a following of a million and a half people people did CH it's a numbers game okay I wasn't the I wasn't the biggest giant I wasn't even the big most sadik but I have 500,000 people at Thea that you could show off that's something how do I know it's written in the book of [Applause] Jeremiah Hashem gives us a secret that gives us hope and a reason to be ambitious small Pages have to find it in chapter 15 verse 19 it says translation therefore thus said Hashem so we know it's coming from the source it's not coming from me it's not my translation it's not even a prophet it's Hashem himself if you repent I will bring you back and let you stand before me but if you bring back if you bring forth an honorable person from a glutton then you will be like my own mouth okay so Kaz asks okay what does this verse actually mean first half it's pretty self-explanatory Hashem says if you do Chua I'll always accept you but not only I always accept you you'll stand next to me what difference is it where I stand cuz most people think listen this guy's been religious from birth he probably has a better seat than me if I do ch's going to give me like the homeless shelter I'll be like a second rate citizen he's the B cha he's a BT BT they have an expression for it in our generation he's a BT actually says which is the foundation of Tor that a real B chuva someone that did Serious chuva not someone that just started keeping Shabbat and thought okay this guy own said Shabbat 500 times one sh okay I'll keep Shabbat better than anyone else in the world but he still steals every day that's not Chua but the same token he can keep all 612 mitv somehow without Shabbat the 612 meaningless Shabbat is the foundation of jwm which is the reason why you mention it over and over and over again to hopefully anyone that's watching this Shu doesn't have even a thought in their mind to ever viol Shabbat again because it's already in grein in their mind even if they don't like Shabbat they still keep it that's how important it is Shabbat really when you keep it when you understand what it is it's the best day of the week you'll end up missing it the whole week but nonetheless hasem is telling you that someone that does genuine chuva gets to a much higher level not just a higher level a much higher level than someone that's been righteous from the minute he was born why because someone that's was born into the right family everyone's religious everyone wears the right clothes and has the right behavior and has the right books and has the right Society he only saw one side of life so it wasn't really much of a choice just like if I was born in the middle of some jungle in Africa it wouldn't necessarily be my choice to walk around with underwear that's what everybody would do when you go there with your suit they look at you like you're weird and you're looking at them as like where's your clothes to them it's normal to you it's not vice versa it's the same thing when you're born into a religious family and you have the fortune to go into the right school and have righteous rabbis not like some of the people that we have today like that beat up kids for some strange reason and do other crazy things that I'm hearing about that's Galore like you have you have Fortune enough that you have good people around you you have some some Merit of your forefathers where you have the right track no crazy people on your path okay great which means you didn't really have much of a choice it became normal to you being modest was normal to you you looked at everyone else like why don't they wear any clothes so I lend in my jacket like what's wrong with them it's not a choice for you it's normal for you same thing is when you a religious person a religious from birth person see someone violating Shabbat or doing things that are against theem to them if they don't understand the secular mind they think these people are just Wicked like they just don't feel like doing it which is really not true because most people don't keep because they don't know they may know that you're not allowed to C do certain things but they don't know why and they don't know that what's the significance of it like if people actually knew the significance of some of the sins we take for granted I would bet anything that they'll be scared to leave the house that's how scary it is so now most people are doing it freely they don't think it's a big deal CU they don't know so hasem is telling you someone that wasn't born into a wicked path into a difficult path into a difficult life he has a clear life it's not really a choice for him so okay so he's going to get to a high level he be becomes a he'll have his Merit great but someone that's a b Chua that saw the other side of the street and still chose Hashem he left the garbage behind and he went to Hashem that one gets to the highest level why because he chose a when he knew the other choice same goes and even more so actually goes for a convert unfortunately in our generation a lot of people are very clueless about converts some people are even against it even though it's mentioned in the Tor more than any other mitvah in the entire Tor the special deal protection and love AEM has for converts it's mentioned even more than Shabbat it's mentioned more than any mitv 36 times and some people are going against Converse saying no they're second rate citizens maybe they're not real maybe this maybe that people don't understand that when we go up to Sham we can't have excuses when someone comes up there and he thinks is going to use his excuse he going to say listen I wasn't able to be religious they're going to ask you why say oh you know I uh was difficult I lived in uh Florida the average person wore a napkin around themselves they weren't wearing the rest of the clothes they left the rest at home the average person didn't know what it is to go to beet without a car so I couldn't be religious if I walk to B Ness everybody will make fun of me how could you be walking so hot so I didn't feel comfortable being religious so you know what they're going to do okay let's see if you have a case say and they show you someone and they show you their life and they show you their difficulties and they say did you have a harder life and a harder test than them and who's the example convert they're going to show you a righteous convert and there's no way that any Jew had a more difficult path than the least righteous convert I'm telling you I have experiened with this converts are unbelievable people when they're righteous converts obviously right now right now as we speak have have one of my students in Bulgaria the guy is unbelievable honestly if mashia could come from a from a convert it would be him he just had a breit yesterday yesterday he's not 8 days old he had a breit Mila yesterday he was already on the computer through the struggle through the pain doing kiru on the internet trying to save is trying to publicize aem's name pain pain he's not not a he's not under anesthesia anymore he's doing kiru why because he has to sanctify aem's name because how could I not do kiru what do you mean what are they going to do these people they're going to go go to idol worship like I used to be what's your excuse for not doing K did you yesterday they're going to show you him I'm serious they're going to show you him why didn't you do kiru oh it was hard for me why I was busy oh really what about this guy he was also busy with pain having a bit mil in his 20s doesn't he have to do any of this what's our excuse so converts have very very high level in sham when they're righteous converts obviously if they fake converts then they're not real right they're not converts at all they're part of the which is the people we've been struggling with since Mount sa so you have to be careful you have to make sure that anyone that you helping convert you know what you're dealing with anyone that is converting is converting for the right reason but nonetheless when it's a righteous convert the reward for such a person is mamash endless but a lot of people don't know this and they go against them which is really stupid but nonetheless hasm is telling you listen if you do chuva if you convert you leave idol worship you leave all types of nonsense of the world not only will I accept you but you'll stand next to me meaning it's not that it's just it's not a second rate citizen you'll actually have first class seats because you did chuva because you actually saw the other side and you still chose me you'll actually get favorable treatment for that so that's the first half of the verse but the second half of the verse says but if you bring an honorable from a glutton you will be like my own mouth kazal says what does it mean says if you help somebody do chuba you bring someone that's honorable you help a sinner du Chua you'll be like my mouth okay helping somebody do cha we already know what that is but what does it mean being like aem's mouth and kazal asks Hashem Hashem what does it mean to be like your mouth and Hashem responds I created the Heaven and the Earth and everything in between and I can bring back the Dead you'll be able to do the same meaning I'll be able to change nature for you whatever comes out of your mouth I'll fulfill just like I said something I said the word the world can exist and it be came into existence Hashem said and everything happened your mouth will be just like mine why because you saved one of my children because you saved five more of my children because you actually spent 10 minutes a day sending links to people hopefully they'll watch it and maybe they'll do chuva you actively did kiru you actively went after my children to save them and if you're going to take special care of my children you have a different account than everyone else you'll be like my mouth so this not only helps us with becoming righteous with theem as far as having something to show up but on top of it it helps our chuva and last but not least it helps anyone that needs a few miracles in their life because sometimes we pray and we don't get any answers we don't get any answers next week's par it's called which the word means beg Moses begged theem to let him go into is 515 times and the reason we know it's 515 is because the numerical value of the letters ofan is 515 so kazal tells us that sometimes we pray but we don't get what we want there's two reasons of why this is the case only two one you didn't pray enough Moses prayed 515 times and hasem told him to stop no more prayers why no more prayers cuz if you pray 56 I'll have to fulfill your prayer there has to be a limit at some point hasem has to answer it's his account it's his laws still not enough Moses and Moses didn't have prayers like us Moses's prayers were a little different to give you an example when his sister Miriam got punished by hasem for saying she got Sarat it's a spiritual and a physical disease even though she was a propheus and she was righteous and she was really the only reason why we were getting the water in the desert for 40 years but she made a mistake she said and hasm gave her this disease the entire nation of Israel prayed for her non-stop to get it to heal she didn't heal nothing happened millions and millions of people are praying for her and obviously she's praying for herself and is praying for her also everyone's praying for her nothing happens Aron comes to mosu pleads with her he says she's our sister she's our Flesh and Blood please pray to Hashem to heal her Moses says five words she gets healed instantly that's the prayer of Moses it was bigger than all of is put together now imagine 55 total prayers the angel started crying to Hashem begging him to get Moses to stop or give him what he wants because he's destroying the heavens with his prayers he's destroying the world you either have to answer him or tell him to stop because everything is being destroyed with these prayers that's Moses but even he had a limit hasm said 56 of these huge prayers I have to answer so I want you to stop because I don't want to answer I don't want to let you go into because if you go into there would not be for in a thousand years from now when they sin and I want am to be eternal so the first thing that kazal tells us is that if our prayers are not being answered is that we didn't pray enough the second reason is the answer is no it's a less popular answer hasem simply said no he doesn't want to give you what you want now you have to ask yourself when you complain to Hashem which all of us do are you complaining for what you want or you complaining for what you need when a child complains to Ima and ABA about a candy he says I need it he doesn't need it he wants it he wants the candy he doesn't need the candy he'll survive fine without the candy my one-year-old daughter cries to me like I'm the mashiah she needs me to pick her up she doesn't need me to pick pick her up she just wants me to pick her up there's a want and there's a need we need air we need basic sustenance we need a connection with so we can actually have a purpose to life there certain things we need we need someone a companion we need to have some type of fulfillment in life there certain things we need six cars in a garage we don't need being the best at Pokemon we don't need the fact that we all even know what Pokemon is is already telling us what generation we're in but the point is there are needs and there are desires so when you complain to AEM you have to ask yourself do I need it or do I want it sometimes hasem gives you both what you need and what you want but before you start complaining when you don't get what you want take about it twice it may not be right here if you if you lacked what you need it's a different story but either way you have to continue praying because you don't know if the answer is no or or you just didn't pray enough but to finalize with one major point is that if you want help with both you want help and an extra push in both what you need and what you want just fulfill this verse in chapter 15 of Jeremiah that's all you need cap yeah you'll be like his mouth this is why Wicked people can't do K Hashem doesn't allow them to you have to have some type of Merit for hm to allow you to do K you have some people that donate thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to all types of nonsense not one person ever did CH well because of them how could it be the guy has billions of dollars he gives away $100 million doar a year and there's more people leaving Judaism than joining Judaism because of him how come he didn't help anybody do Chua he doesn't have the Merit why because AEM specifically saying here if I allow you to do this if I allow you to do kiru that means I have to start fulfilling your prayers but if you're praying to win the next Blackjack hand every day if you're praying that your partner will not see the fact that you stole $100,000 from him if you're praying that your wife doesn't find out about the girlfriend you have on the side if you're praying for stupid things like this that are against Hashem and against just ethics in general I don't want to fulfill your prayers so I can't let you do KY Ro and it'll get in your way so if you're doing kiru you're in good you're good shape if you're not doing kiru you start asking yourself some questions do I have the Merit to do K and last but not least if you have the Merit and you're not doing it why don't you want Miracles don't you want to show up with put a rich account when mashia shows up it's very simple like I said I didn't come here to collect money I came here to inform you is you have a one-way ticket to a VIP Center to shamim it's very very simple to do do what Hashem said and help his kids the rest of it he'll do any questions in the beginning you were talking about how some uh people are too PC and you know they don't want to talk about certain topics but in this week's doesn't m in a certain extent in the beginning he's a little bit PC also because he kind of hints he doesn't say specifically the things that they did wrong he kind of mentions the places that will give him an idea of what they did where they did it right he's doing it he's doing it in a in a in a way where like a soft in a softer way so there there could potentially be a time where there there's a mitv one of the 63 you must rebuke your people but don't let it bring you to sin meaning that you have to if you see another person sinning you actually have to say something but you have to say it in a way that it doesn't bring you to sin so what does it mean bring you to sin so first and foremost if you're in public if let's say I don't know the guy is driving on Shabbat you can't scream scream in the middle of the street in front of everyone and embarrass them say hey you're going again home you're going you can't do that you have to you know wait until after Shabbat try to meet with him call him bring him to a you have to do something where you're not embarrassing him in public this is what mosenu is doing here where he's saying listen I'm not going to pinpoint fingers at the tribe of Shimon that were the lead ERS in the Sin of the midianite women I'm not going to pinpoint to any one of the particular tribes that did specific sins whether it's the complaining about the water the complaining about the man the idol worship all the different things that we did if I start pinpointing at everyone else then each and every time I pinpoint I'm going to embarrass them in public and that's not fulfilling hashem's will that's desecrating as will I'm going to embarrass you in public so I'm just going to talk General about the sins that everyone knows we did everyone knows what Shabbat is everyone knows that we violated Hashem by worshiping Idols everyone knows that we shouldn't have complained to Hashem about the man everyone knows and so on and so forth he mentions these places to make sure okay these are General things because everyone knows who and what did it I just don't need to necessarily state it to say Hey you rash you're the you're the problem you're the reason why we're here for 40 years in reality this is this is what he started off with like you said but later on he goes into specifics later on he get says Hey listen guys the one that's going that say curses his parents is AR is cursed it's the worst possible thing you could be named in the Tor is AR and there's a there's a list of things of sins that someone does that hem is calling you cursed meaning hasem is going to take revenge on you Shalom this the problem who wants to be classified as who was the first who was the first time we heard the word the snake serpent Adam and even a serpent Hashem didn't even let the serpent or the snake speak cuz he knew he actually had an excuse so he just cursed them right away he says you're cursed forever so Moses wanted to do it in a certain way where he doesn't bring embarrassment to anyone specific the problem is is that we took what Moses did and we added to it Moses said what Hashem said which is you must rebuke your people but don't get it to a point of bringing you to sin the political correctness eliminated the first half of the sentence it said don't bring yourself to sin that was about 50 years ago ago don't worry about rebuking people then this generation that we're in right now there's no verse they just took the verse out no one rebukes and and everyone sins AR only supposed to give when willing to accept a after says so you have to be able to do it a in a loving way and and B that you have to know that they're willing to accept it in order to give the the good news is is that there's also an answer for that and that no one knows who can accept and who cannot accept why because we don't have Prophets You don't know what someone else is going to accept you don't know what they're not going to accept when you think you know and you decide what they're going to accept and what they're not going to accept in essence you're making a bigger sin than embarrassing them why because you decided for them like people decided for me for 15 years I had an office in Wall Street and an open door policy and people would come to my office religious people would come to my office at least two to three times a week asking for once in a while telling us about once in a while convincing a few guys to do but for 15 years not one time anybody mention Shabbat to me 15 years not one time anyone mentioned to me that the fact that I'm intermarried the what excuse me the fact that my wife is not Jewish is a problem like not like a small problem not like a headache not like I'm short a few dollars for my mortgage payment serious problem no one mentioned it so now let's let's see this strategy of theirs cuz they thought the same thing they say listen I don't think he's going to accept it I I think that if I tell him about Shabbat this Wall Street guy he's not going to listen to me now I can't tell you I would have listen to them I don't know but at the very least I know it's 50/50 math I know I either say yes or I say no it's 50/50 I could have said yes I could have said no could have said you know what thank you very much Shabbat for you it's not for me I could have e but they don't know that so now let's see let's see the strategy of deciding for people and the reason why I'm very very aggressive with those specific people that do that is because I'm the experiment that shows it doesn't work because if you do the math let's say they didn't come to my office three times a week for 15 years let's say it's once a week for 10 years make numbers easier once a week 52 times a year it's 52 times times time 10 520 so that means they had 520 tries to get me to keep one Shabbat one not all of Shabbat one just one now if you have 520 tries to get me to keep any mitvah let alone Shabbat and you don't when is it supposed to work this strategy if it doesn't work after 10 years when is it going to work that's the reason why Hashem did not give us prophets in our generation because he said listen you have no excuse you don't know what he can do or what he can't do while he'll accept while he won't accept what you can do is tell him what I said I gave you a book it's called the Torah you know it he doesn't tell him what it says it says in someone violate Shabbat says the one that desecrates Shabbat has death upon death and is cut off from the nation okay death I know once someone dies what's death upon death and if he died already twice where is he getting cut cut off from first death is in the old days of the sun headin or the days of mosu they actually would have killed him with the worst possible death penalty with ska which is Stone since we don't have San the says even though we don't have San anyone that violates Shabbat or gets this specific particular punishment of death penalty is just cutting their life in this world shorter so that's the first death okay fine that explains the first death what's upon death can't die twice upon death means has no share of the world to come he shows up to shamim as a desecrator of Shabbat as an intermar person as a person that wasted seed on purpose as a person that desecrated hashem's name on a regular basis he has no share of the world to come even if he embarrassed somebody in public on purpose there's a few things that you lose your share of the world to come he shows up today he says okay so where do I go now oh the nice place where AA is no no it's not for you what do I go or you go to the other place there also eternity there it's just hotter there's a real place called Gom there's seven places and we're not going to talk about it today but it's a real place so now he has a problem died goes to a bad place fine we still don't have the full verse what's the third part okay die twice what's the cut off from the nation part exactly what it says if someone is cut off from the nation what does it mean it means they're no longer part of the nation it means what the rambam said earlier in this what I mentioned he's no longer considered Jewish he's considered a complete Idol worshipper now when I say not considered Jewish it does not mean that the non-jews are not good it's the opposite non-jews that are keeping the seven laws of Noah are actually considered the the righteous people of all the nations what what a Jew is considered when he violates Shabbat is an idol worshipper not just a non-jew non-jew is much better off of a non-jew that keeps the seven laws of Noah has a share of the world to come has ganed has a lot of good a Jew that's violate Shabbat has a serious serious problem so now this is eternity we're talking about this is a literal verse in the Tor 12 times not once in case we missed it the first time it's mentioned in the 12 times one for each month if you want so you have no excuse go up to sh like no no I only read it during I only read it during I only read it when I went to the once a year okay in that month they mention it too so it's in 12 times so now this is my problem with people that made decisions for me I don't know what decision I would have made made but what if I would have died I was very very sick for seven years fighting for my life everyone thought I was going to die usually when you bleach from your eyes it's not a good sign when you scream for pain non-stop it's not a good sign when you want to commit suicide all day it's not a good sign and when it continues for seven years it's even worse when are you going to tell me and that's the problem I have with them because if Hashem did not have mercy on me I would have ended up there with a Eternal problem and that's not fair and this is why there are certain parts of the and a certain part the T that we are allowed to learn most of the Torah we're not allowed to learn because the says that the Torah brings us joy but there are certain parts of the Torah that bring us sadness such as the Book of Job which until you read the end is a very very sad book Job lost his money lost all of his kids lost his health disaster of disasters the end is a very very nice end but nonetheless it's a big tun a big a big test and I he passed it and that's why there's a book written about him in the toah and not me but we're allowed to read job we're allowed to read Lamentations we're allowed to read certain parts of the book of Jeremiah that talk about the Prophecies of the uh disaster of what's going to happen in the first bet mdash or the second one and also allowed to learn certain parts of prophecies that talk about the destruction of bet mikdash and different parts of the to talk about what happened all of these topics are not exactly happy and one of them the sages ask Hashem hem in the destruction of why did you punish the righteous people first what's the point of being righteous listen if you I know people were doing idol worship and stealing and all this stuff that they were doing fine okay the wicked punish them fine but why he punishing the righteous ones the ones that go to be keeping Shabbat maybe teaching a little bit of T once in a while or every day learning T all day why punishing them and thear says something extraordinary they're not considered completely righteous because they did not rebuke the people they didn't tell people the truth they didn't tell people that they're sinning they didn't get people to do Chua someone does not telling people the truth cannot be considered completely righteous it's the opposite the fact that he knows makes him even more obligated I didn't destroy the bet mikash because of the secular people I destroyed the bet mikdash because of the religious people people think that the Holocaust happened because we had a bunch of in marriage and a bunch of people going against God yes that is definitely a big part of the reason but in reality the same reason that led to the Holocaust the led to the bet mikash the LED to all the disasters we've had through our Our Generations including the stories we have the 10 tests the 10 tests we have in the Tora that is tested AEM in the desert if you notice in parat balak after Isel sinned with the women Hashem told Moses bring all the leaders of the uh tribes and Kaz says what why is he bringing all these leaders why is he bringing all these leaders to hang them hang all the leaders why they didn't stop the nation from sinning with 24,000 women if you look at the part of the Tor where it says that was complaining to Hashem about the food says that Hashem made a fire around am isel's camp and then Moses started complaining God what am I going to do now I can't do this by myself what does one thing I have to do with the other Hashem makes a fire kills a bunch of people and Moses complains I can't do this by myself why kazal tells us because hasm burned all all the leaders that all the leaders were in the corners he burned all of them why didn't rebuke the Nations they didn't tell people the truth every single one of the tests every single one of the punishments the idol worship in Mount saai first people to die were the leaders hasem had had to pick new ones this this is what rabbis don't know today or at least don't believe or are not alert to it I don't really know why people are not doing it to be honest with you I try to come up with different excuses for people every day but there really isn't any and page 54b it says anyone who can rebuke people in his own house and doesn't takes on their own sins meaning you have a husband that violates Shabbat you don't tell him anything you arve to Sham you're both violating Shabbat even if you kept Shabbat you have a son violat Shabbat lives in your house to sh it's like you violated Shabbat CU you ain't tell him and it goes further if he does if he has the ability to reprove the people of his City meaning he's someone he's a local Rabbi he's a city Rabbi he's someone with influence but he doesn't give people the truth he takes on the entire city sins but if he's one of he's one of the Giants of the generation and he has the influence on the whole world and he doesn't rebuke people he takes on the entire world sins this is Shabbat page 54b the one of the greatest sages that ever lived said something he says bet mdash the second one was destroyed because of it was destroyed because of baseless hatred meaning hatred for no reason he hates me because I'm spartic I hate him because he's ashkanazi he hates the other guy cuz he's he hates the other guy because I don't know he's something else in between everyone hates the convert everyone hates the B Chua all types of nonsense that has become standard in today's world so he says baseless hatred hatred for no reason you don't have a reason to hate AAL cha you didn't do anything to you you don't have a reason to hate the convert you don't even know the guy you don't why do you care that he's kazio he aaric what difference does it make to you he doesn't like spicy food you like it okay great congratulations don't he won't eat it what's what what difference is it okay so he prays a little different than you and you pray different than him what tells you what makes you right and him wrong why won't you let him into Yeshiva there's actually yeshivas in the world that won't accept one you know one uh custom of the other they won't accept the ashkanazi they won't accept the spartic it's m ridiculous so all those people that have this in them they could know every day they go to sleep they say right but instead of saying sayem I'm contributing every single day to the destruction of the BET mikdash meaning that if we got the BET mikdash today because of me it'll be destroyed so says the worst type of the worst absolute worst one is when someone sees his fellow sinning and doesn't say anything it's the worst type of why because if you know that if he does these sins he's going to end up at the same place kak was remember kak right K said the ground opened and he went to a place called sh sh is another name for Gom so this is proof in the Tor Gom actually exists it's not like some Theory it's a real place so kak is still there now you know that based on this sin he's going the same place as kak they're going to be boys it's a problem and you're not doing anything who's more evil than you the train is coming right at him and you're not going to tell him to move okay you tell him to move he says no no I don't want to move let the Train move okay then he's crazy it's his problem then but at least tell him the train's coming don't decide for him you don't know what he's going to do tell him no one told me which is part of the reason of why I do this because no one is telling anyone apparently there's only a couple of rabbis RAB mrai that's been doing it for 20 years telling people the truth RAB ala that I know of maybe a couple of other rabbis out there that I don't know that are actually telling people the truth and that's the main thing that everyone needs to do you want Miracles you want to show up with a nice account when the mashia comes you want to have salvation you want to complete a real chuva genuine chuva not only do you have to do kiru but you have to start doing serious kiru meaning you have to tell people the truth you see somebody driving on Shabbat find a way to tell them if you don't have the ability to speak bring them to sh bring him to bring him a CD you don't have to tell them yourself you don't have the ability to do it you're not comfortable doing it it's fine you don't have to do it yourself but just like we go to the besset andan When you pray do I and I say Amen do it that count that I prayed does that's the point of the Kazan right there a Mitzvah mitvah meaning that just like if I hear it and I respond it's like I did it same [Music] thing I can't speak so I give the guy CD let him hear somebody else I can't speak I bring him to tell him listen it's a really good sh what is it about it's really good what is it about it's good what is it about really [Music] good don't tell them anything just say curiosity is the reason why he's going to come you start tell no it's this guy and he says if you don't keep Shabbat you going to Gom yeah he's going to come he's not going to come tell him it's really good it's this it's that get him to come that's it once you do that you save a soul Who's better than you any more questions I think we have 10 minutes to do kadish did anyone not yet I didn't you did not I did not I did not I do we have 10 that did not we have a Qui yeah sure do we have 10 we have 10 men I believe we do yeah I don't have to do say by the way that's my sitter yeah that's the sitter I got that I was going to tell you it's a good one few stories for but I'm [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music]
