PIZZA with the Rabbi - Kids Ask The Rabbi Anything!

Hi kids. My name is Rabbi Yon Ruven and uh wanted to do a little shield with you guys. But first we before some of you came, we're asking everybody what's their favorite thing. What's their favorite thing? So we got sports, we got video games, we got uh >> best questions get after the show, get ice cream or or ice, whatever you guys like. pops. Good pops and stuff. >> We got uh uh collection of rocks. We had reading books. We had playing with the dogs. Uh >> books, >> huh? >> Fantasy. >> Oh, fantasy books. >> So, we >> animals, right? So, we had and we also have one of the kids likes to watch our So, we had a lot of different things. Now, do you guys know what my favorite thing is? Who can guess what my favorite thing is? Raise your hand. >> Learning Tawah. >> Learning Tawa. Now, why would I like That's a good It's a good answer. That's a perfect answer. Now, it wasn't always my favorite because I didn't know I didn't know that uh what was in the Torah my whole life. So, why would learning Torah be somebody's favorite instead of playing sports, instead of playing with dogs, instead of collecting rocks? I mean all of those things sound fun and I also did them when I was a kid. When I was a kid I used to play sports and I used to collect all types of things and but then as I started growing up and I started learning Torah I decided that that's my favorite. Now with a show of hands >> with a show of hands who can raise hands. Who knows what the is? Everybody knows yet. >> Did you know was the first one to raise hand? >> Yeah. Okay. Where's the Tell me what's the thing that >> bad stuff. >> Perfect. Now, you know, you know what the worst thing that the tries to convince kids? The worst thing that a tries to convince kids is that they can't do it, that they can't do good, that they can't succeed. And sometimes the will send other kids or other people to tell the kid that's trying to do good that he can't do it or that he's not good enough. What is it like? You guys like stories? >> Yeah. >> With a show of hands, who has heard of the Tadik by the name of the Benishai? >> So, you guys heard about the Benishai? >> Mhm. >> So, the Benishai used to tell a lot of stories. >> That's what he looks like, guys. >> One of the stories, yes. He was from Baghdad and uh one of the stories that he said is that there was once a villager. A villager is a very simple guy. He's not doesn't learn from books much. What he would do? He just take care of chickens. He had chickens. Are you guys listening or you guys you listening? Come on, pay attention. So he had a collection of chickens. >> Yeah. He collect chickens. >> He collect rocks. She has dogs. He collected chickens, but he also sold them. He would not have chickens. They would lay eggs. And more chickens would come and sometimes he would eat the egg. And somebody would come every day to buy some chickens from him. Now, one day he sees around his chickens there's a little ugly black bird. It wasn't like a normal looking chicken, >> but he doesn't know the difference between this or that. He says it just might be a ugly chicken. So, he let it continue living with the rest of the chickens. Now, this bird grew to be bigger than the other chickens, but it also jumped just like the chickens, and it ate the seed just like the chickens, and he let it live with the rest of the chickens. One day, somebody comes to buy the chickens, [clears throat] and uh he says to this villager, "I want to buy some chickens." He says, "Okay, here, take a look. Here's all of my chickens." Now, when the customer comes and he looks at all of these chickens, he sees white chicken, brown chicken, black chicken, but then he sees this huge bird that's almost three times the size of the rest of the chickens, and he can't believe his mind. So, he says to the villager, "I could buy any chicken." He said, "Yeah, sure. Any chicken you want, you could buy it. you made all of these chickens? He goes, "Yes, and they're all the same price." He goes, "No, it's just based on weight. Either it's $4 or it's $5, depending on how much you weigh." He goes, "What about that one?" And he points at the big bird. He says, "Yeah, you can buy that one. That's just it's a bigger chicken, so you can buy this bigger chicken if you want." Okay, so I'll buy that one. So he says, "Okay." He brings the bird, says, "Oh, this one weighs£10? You have to pay uh $10." The guy can't believe it. Goes, "Only $10?" You want to pay more? You can pay more, but it's only $10 like the rest of the chickens by weight. He says, "No, no, it's fine. Thanks. I'll buy the $10 chicken." Takes the bird, he puts it in a cage, puts it in his truck. He drives away and the whole time he's uh looking at this huge bird on the seat next to him and he can't believe it. He can't believe this bird is next to him. He can't believe how big this bird is. He can't believe he only paid $10 for it. And he takes it to the mountains. He goes to the top of the mountain. He takes the bird out of the cage. He picks it up. And he whispers to the chicken, "You're an eagle. Fly." And he throws it off the mountain. And guess what happens? >> He flies. >> He flies. Why? Because he wasn't a chicken. He was an eagle. But since this huge eagle wasn't born huge, he was born a little chicken. HE WAS BORN A LITTLE BIRD. And he was just the guy found him. And the guy didn't know whether it's a chicken or it's something else. He thought it's just another chicken. So he fed him like the rest of the chickens. And this eagle was surrounded by chickens and he ate like the chickens. So the whole time he thinks he's a chicken until the guy threw him off the mountain and told them, "You're not a chicken." The will sometimes send different people. Sometimes it's somebody that you see in school. Sometimes it's somebody you see in the neighborhood that the is going to tell them to tell you that you can't learn Torah or that you don't understand Torah or that you can't be a sadik or he's going to make you feel like you're a chicken like you can't do something. But made all of us all of our mount sai and said that if you are mount sai for sure you could learn to for sure you could enjoy the Torah and for sure you can succeed in it even if somebody tells you you can't and don't believe the people that tell you that you can't. So when I learned this, I started realizing that even though I didn't grow up in a religious house and even though I had a very difficult time when I was a kid, you know, when I was 10 years old, I left all, you know, Israel, left the country, came to America, had to find new friends. We we dealt with all types of difficulties throughout our uh childhood. But eventually made the way, made things work, and made me realize that just because you start one way doesn't mean that you can't finish first. Just because you start last doesn't mean you can't finish first. So my goal today with you guys is to show you that the Torah has not only answers to every question that you have, but on top of that, the Torah is full of fun. The Torah has all the best stories, fantasy stories, uh uh all types of uh interesting stories are in the Torah. But sometimes if you don't know it, you don't know it exists. So I want you guys to ask me some questions and through the answers, I'll give you guys some stories. I'll give you guys some things to to think about and we'll go from there. So you can start with your first question. >> So we were talking about the right. >> Yes. >> When the har tries to influence you, what part of your body is it stemming from? the heart, the mind, the arms, the legs, where >> the the is trying to affect whatever body part is the most vulnerable. Meaning that the is trying to convince your mind to convince your heart not to listen to your mind. Why? Because if somebody thinks about things with their mind, then they realize if this is something that's a good idea or it's not a good idea. Because the mind works slower and it usually thinks about if I take one step, you know, two steps, three steps, he knows what the result is. So when a person thinks with their mind, then usually they're more likely to make the right decision. But when a person thinks with their heart, then they're emotional. They're excited or they're sad or they're uh you know, they're they're they're based on emotions. So the tries to convince your emotions, convince your heart not to listen to your mind because if you act on emotions, you do something on impulse, meaning you want to do it right away before thinking about it. And usually when you do things like that, you're more likely to make mistakes and make the wrong decision. What's the next question? Yes. Have you ever >> I learned some parts of the uh and uh there's different uh stories about uh that from the that have said in different uh different shim. Does everybody know when wrote the >> Oh, me and my brother have a book about him. >> You have a book about him. Okay. So, let me tell you guys a short version of the story. >> Okay. You know the story or you know when >> I know when >> when >> when he was about to die he was discussing with the remaining parts of his holy uh >> I don't remember the word but with Rabbi Abba Rabbi and he was discussing the secrets of the Torah >> okay >> and Rabbi Aba would write it down and his son would record it. So now was one day one day he was uh discussing the things uh that are happening in the world at that time >> with the Romans >> with the Romans a bath house a bridge and something else I forgot >> the market >> in the market. So, so the they were talking about it and said that all of the things that the Romans built >> it's for their own purpose >> is only for their own purpose. It's only for their benefit. And when the Romans found out that was uh not saying nice things about them, they wanted to kill him. So, he had to go hide in a cave with his son Rabzo bin Rabishimon and old with our clothes on and learn. >> Okay, they would be insane. So they were in the cave for 13 years and in there he learned all of the different secrets of the Torah and from there he wrote the zah. Kids, kids, why don't you guys sit down? Danielle, tell them to sit. Tell them to sit down. Ariel, mommy. Ariel, sit down, guys. Soishai who wrote the zah, he uh had to make some very very big sacrifices on his own personal comfort and his his own life in order for Hashem to give him the to write the kadosh. What's the next question? Maybe you could ask me a question. Maybe tell your brother to ask me a question. >> No, no him. >> I want questions from you. What question do you have? You told me I asked you before if you're going to have questions for me. You said you're going to have something. >> So, what's the question do you have? Let me think. Let's take Huh. Take take like who is your favorite person in the Torah? Why is he your favorite? Was Mosha Rabenu short or tall? >> Tall. Do you know how tall he was? 13 ft is between 15 and 20 ft. So it's a debate between between 15 and 20t tall. >> So it was very so in comparison to us he was a giant but in comparison to his generation all of the Levy tribe was like that. Anyone that was a Levy was uh at least 10 ammo tall some were bigger. And the reason why the says that in order for them to be able to carry the kodes and a kesh not to hit the floor, it their shoulders had to be at a certain height, which means that they had to be at least 10 ammot. So yes, you have another question. >> If the adults were around 15 to 20 feet tall, how tall were the kids and the babies? Every baby was was born differently, but uh usually a baby uh is not uh a good representation of how big they're going to be later on because if for example, if you see some of the animals uh when they have little babies, their babies are absolutely tiny. You look at >> uh lion or even a kangaroo. The kangaroo when they they give birth in their little sack that they have, it's a tiny little thing. It's almost like a bug, but then it becomes a huge uh huge animal. Same thing with a lot of animals. So, what a baby is born as is not necessarily always an indication that it's going to be really really huge. Uh sometimes there's certain things that are born bigger than others, but they stay that size. So, it depends, but usually it's a uh it's not a good indication of what's going to happen because Hashem gives different animals and different creations a different growth spurt. And one of the best examples of it is the trees. Every tree starts with a little seed, tiny little seed that you can barely see with the naked eye sometimes. And you plant that little seed. Naked eye meaning that just with your eyes, not with goggles or telescopes or anything like that. So you plant a little seed and that seed turns into a bigger and bigger plant, bigger and bigger tree. And certain types of trees can be over 100 ft tall >> and they can live for like 500 years. >> Okay. So, >> so unless unless unless unless uh somebody chops them and turns them into a house. >> But uh yeah, >> but technically they're still alive because they're alive in a different uh >> if you're talking about energy, everything turns into energy, then you're right. Yes. Yes. Do you have a question? not on topic but um >> does um only the mind disagree with the or only the the mind disagree or all parts of the body not including the heart >> well everything everything that the nama that Hashem gave you is inside your brain inside your mind but the nama is also the one that's giving different instructions to everything else. Your brain is the what gives instructions to everything else to work. If a person's brain uh stops working even for a for a second then the person can't live. So um when the comes he in essence tries to convince a person that they shouldn't use their mind to make decisions but instead they should use their impulse their their their theiruh desire and once the mind is convinced by the to listen to uh to listen to him and to use emotions then the rest of the body just follows. But uh what the what the mind is telling them follows what the heart is telling them. >> So all the body >> all the part of the body >> disagree with the heart >> all of the part of the in essence they all disagree but they all have to follow instructions just like a if you build a uh build something and you press a button even if the rest of the pieces will be destroyed by it uh they still follow the uh they still follow the instructions. Good question. Next question. Do you have a question? You have a question, Ken? No. >> You have any questions? No. Daniel? Yeah. >> Huh? >> Is an angel that Hashem created. Uh he has different names. And uh yeah, so so he has he's like a Hashem made a uh an angel that his job is to test us, is to give us a stumbling block, is to try to convince us to not follow Hashem. And the reason why Hashem would create something to tell us not to follow Hashem is because if he didn't create them, then we would all be like robots and we only would do what Hashem said. And if we if there's nothing that's going to be in our way, then why would Hashem give us a reward? If that's the if the only thing we can do is good, then why should he give us a reward? So he created to give us a stumbling block in order to to try to convince us otherwise. So if we don't listen to him and we listen to Hashem instead, we get a reward. What is this like? This is like for example, you guys said you got like sports. Anybody here like soccer? Soccer? You guys like soccer? >> Okay. So, kadu. >> So, now if you have two teams, if you have two teams and they're both trying to kick the ball into the other team, right? >> Right. So, there's two teams, you know, playing each other and they there's only one ball. There's 11 players on each side and they're both trying to score the goal on the opposite team. If I told you that maybe they should take turns. First you let team A score a goal and then let team B score a goal. Is there a point to the game? >> They kick one, they kick one, take turns. No. Why not? Because they're each going to try to stop each other. >> What's the point of trying to stop each other? Because if you could uh uh overcome them trying to stop you and you can still score then you deserve to win. So the same thing with the that Hashem created. Hashem created the not because he wants you to follow him but rather he wants you to overcome him. He wants you to beat the he wants you not to listen to the because when you don't listen to the then you deserve the reward. Now the comes in different forms. He comes in, like I said, different thoughts, but he also comes like what Danielle says, he has different messengers and one of them is Amalech. Amale comes as a different nation that hates the Taw that hates and is going to try to do everything possible to get to leave Hashem. Before we battled >> before we battled, we were called >> the was always called the >> was he had different soldiers at different times. The's first uh first fight against humanity was as the in when Adam and Kab were in Eden alone. Hashem sent the and he convinced to eat to con to to push to eat from the tree of knowledge even though Hashem said not to. >> Wasn't wasn't that um the snake >> was a form of you know comes in different forms and sizes. Sometimes he comes as a person. Sometimes he comes as an angel. Sometimes he comes as a >> what? >> When did the >> When did Amalik steal the >> um when they were at war? When King Saul was >> No, that was the police team. >> Oh, sorry. >> The police team stole the Aon. Yes. But then but then punished them and they returned it. >> Yes. So the uh started fighting against us already at the time of Adam. Then later on at the time of Noah he convinced all of the people to act like animals. Then later on at the time of he convinced the people of Sodom and Gomorrah again to do things that are forbidden. And then the same thing happened in Egypt. And all throughout history, the came in different ways in different uh uh ways to trick us. And our goal in this life is not to listen to the and only to listen to Hashem. Meaning that if if we're going to eat, what do we do before we eat? >> Make a >> make a braha. Now, can I just make any braha? >> No. >> Or I have to make a specific braha. >> Specific. >> So before I eat one slice of pizza, what braha do I make? Now, if the the the uh the um the pizza is a bread that's sweet, if it's a bread that's sweet, we do uh the safari do me not. If it's uh if it's a uh nut, then we do a muti. But but if you're if you don't know how much milk they use, how much uh juice they use, and so on, it all depends on how much quantity you're going to eat. Now, if you're only going to eat one bite of pizza, you could say mezonote on it. But if you're going to eat two slices of pizza, then you say moi on it. >> One bite. Only one bite. >> One bite takes one bite. >> Okay. One slice. >> One slice is less than enough for for It depends on how big the slice is. Like if it's like a uh those little mini pies, one slice is not considered. >> One slice of pizza, regular slice of pizza. >> Usually, in order to be a moti, it has to uh you're supposed to do like a slice and a half to two slices. But it depends again on the size of the slices either. >> No, if this is only a question if the bread is questionable. >> Oh no. Then even if you eat a tiny little piece, even if you eat a tiny little as pizza. The best thing to do if you're going to eat pizza as an adult is to eat two slices. So that way you answer any safik. But anyway, the point is that before you eat, you do that. Now, let me ask you a question. Before you ask your parents something, let's say you want a new toy or let's say you want to go to your friend's house. >> Do you tell them by yelling at them or by asking them? >> Now, if they give you something that you want, do you have to say something or you could just take it and run away? >> What do you have to say? >> Thank you. Thank. Why do you have to say thank you? >> To show that you appreciate it, right? >> Because it's like showing like >> Now, let me ask you guys a question. Does everybody know their Abba's first name? >> You know your Aba's first name? >> Okay. Do you know your Abba's first name? >> Yeah. >> Does everybody know their Abba's first name? Are you allowed to call your Abba by his first name? >> No. So if let's say his name is David, can you say, "Hey David, good morning." Can you do that? >> Why not? >> Because >> what is it? >> Cuz he's a child of disrespect. >> Exactly. Cuz he's not just Annie David. He's your Abba. So you're allowed to call him Abba. >> What about your Ema? Do you know your Ema's name? >> Yeah. >> Are you allowed to call your Ema by her name? >> No. >> Why? Because disrespect. She call her Ema. Why do we have to give respect to our parents? Where does it say in the Torah? You have to respect your parents. >> Respect respect your mother and father. >> Right. This is one of the ten commandments. Exactly. It's one of the ten commandments. The fifth commandment. So anytime we talk to our parents, it doesn't matter if we're mad. It doesn't matter if we're upset. We always have to talk to our parents with respect. Because if we're not respecting our parents, Hashem says, "If you're not respecting your parents, you're also not respecting me, Hashem." So, we have to respect our parents. Yes. You have another question. >> So, we all know that one side that each set of each block of the Lucas, >> yeah, >> we're dependent on man and man and man. >> 100%. Why is respect your mother and father in the category of man understand? >> So that's exactly the question that end that that I just answered >> that guys are you sitting down sitting down. So the question was the first five commandments in the in the ten commandments one was do you guys know the ten commandments >> first one is that hashem is god. Second >> that he took us out of Egypt. Second one is don't use his name in vain. Third one is don't worship an idol. The fourth one is a god. >> No. >> Fourth one is >> no. No. >> Huh? >> Honorab. >> Keep Shabbat. Fourth one is keep Shabbat. Number five is to honor your parents. >> Now why is honoring your parents right next to Shabbat? Right next to don't worship an idol and so on. You should be giving. Good job. >> I bet Rabbi uh the first I forgot his name. >> Yes, I bet. >> Okay, so now >> you ready? So now when Hashem told us to honor our parents, he was also telling us that when we honor our parents, we're also honoring him. When we are disrespectful to our parents, that means that we're disrespectful to Hashem. Why? Because Hashem is also our Abba. He's not only our king, he's also our Abba. He's the aba of everyone. And says that if you're not respecting your Aba and Ema in this world, then surely you're not going to respect me either. So a person has to know that when they're honoring their parents, it's not only good between one man another, one person another, but it's also a way to show Hashem that we honor him too. Who has another question in the back? >> You have question. >> No. passed away. >> Okay. >> Repeat that again. when Moshe passed away uh it's at the beginning of um I'm trying to remember exactly the para but and both passed away in the same par but they passed away um a couple of years before uh before Mosher Rabenu before Mosher Rabenu um now I have another qu follow-up question for you guys it says at the end of the Torah of the Kum that uh Moshe Rabenu died and after he says that he died that there was no Nave and there will never be another Nave like Moshe and that he was uh Hashem's servant and there's eight verses eight sentences eight verses in a Torah that talk about what happened after Moshe Who wrote the Torah? >> Hashem wrote the Torah, but then Hashem told to write it. Right? So the question is Mosheu wrote everything from Benesit to he wrote everything. But who wrote the last eight verses about >> Yeshua? Yeshua is one one the one who stopped us >> the one. Yeah. Yeshua Benoon. That's his name. Yeshua Benoon. He was the uh >> No, Benoon is the is the Nave that did that led Am. >> Huh? >> No, he was a Tana. He was a Tana. He was he was he was almost a thousand years after the so Yeshua say Yeshua Benoon wrote the last eight verses is one opinion another opinion by the is that actually wrote those verses because told him what to write where the letters of the were already there and Hashem told them when to separate the letters in order to make words. So in essence, Hashem told him what to write and Mosheu wrote about his own death before it even happened. Uh and was crying, you know, seeing uh this is what's going to happen. Next question. Yes. >> How much? How many wars? >> How many wars did he fight? >> Uh well the first war that he fought was Mik Amalik in the desert and he almost won but Hashem told him to stop before he won and destroyed them. Uh because this was part of the tikun that had to take place later on. Uh then uh Yeshua Benoon took Israel into Israel and they fought against uh over uh 30 different armies which were uh seven nations the Canaanite nations and he destroyed everyone that he faced. So and they the wars lasted 14 years. >> No, he lost in the beginning of the war. uh he lost at the beginning of the war where they he saw that some of his soldiers are dying which was not common because they were koshim they would so every time they would go to war not only they would beat the enemy but nobody would die on the Jewish part but here he saw that people were dying so he said we must have done sins we must have done sins that are causing people to die so then he you know he uh asked Hashem why are people dying says is because uh somebody stole from me. And and Yeshua did an investigation using the uhim and uh they they ended up doing a lottery of uh finding out who actually stole somebody something from Hashem. And it was one of the people that uh took something that Am is uh got as a result of the wars and they said that this is going to be a donation to build the beta mikdash to build a sanctuary for Hashem. This is all it's calledish and he took it for himself and uh because of him people died. So once he found that out, they uh not only to, you know, they killed the guy, but they uh it was a punishment for him, but they also helped him do Chuva before he died. >> Yes. >> Didn't Mosha die from a So didn't Mosha die from a kiss oni to appear over that was hard. That's carnival. That's >> Yeah. So akados >> die from there. >> So Bah told Mosheu that uh it's time for him to to die and he's not going to die like by getting sick or by falling and getting hurt. But uh he was going to die what's called a death by Hashem giving him a kiss. Meaning that he's going to take his out. But usually when somebody dies, Hashem sends the to take their out. But when the came to Mosher Rabenu, the uh >> beat him up, >> right? The um uh >> writes nearly 2,000 years ago that when the came to Mosherenu, Mosherenu was learning Torah and the knew that he cannot touch Mosherenu while he was learning Torah. So he was just standing next to him waiting for him to finish learning Torah. When Mash knows noticed that the is there, he said, "You're not allowed to be here." He says, "Yeah, but Moshe sent me to kill you." Says, "You going to kill me?" And he hit him with the stick >> multiple times. >> He hit him with the stick and he took out one of his eyes. One of the eyes ran away crying >> and he said to Hashem, "Listen, Hashem, he beat me up." Hashem left. Hashem left. And then he said to Moshe, "Moshe, but it's time for you to go. I that's why he sent him." He says, "No, no, Hashem, I could serve you here." And Hashem said to Moshe and he gave him a kiss and he took his na in a very different way than anybody else. And uh he also buried Mosheu also got >> so did. So he took his uh he took his uh body and he buried him in a place that nobody knew. But one time there was a group of uh of uh of people that were looking >> that were looking to for you guys know the story also. >> Yeah. >> What happened after? Tell me. No, >> they looked >> they looked up and they saw >> they then they looked down. They couldn't find it. Then they looked down and saw >> they saw it from afar but they could never get close to it. >> Yes, Daniel. >> Huh? >> When was the mabul? >> I can't I can't hear. I can't. >> Yes, there was a flood. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Ah. Oh, it's a very very good question. It's a very good question. So the uh say that if the mabul destroyed the entire world, how come it didn't destroy where and were buried? And the answer is that the mabul did not flood the entire world. It flooded part of the world >> part of the world and excluded where the is meaning that the flood never destroyed the and therefore that's why the being buried there never changed >> where yes Were the people living there? >> No, there was no people living there. All the people all the people that were uh were living were different parts of the world. Hashem destroyed all of the people because they were all uh that went against Hashem. Hashem didn't make people didn't know about the value of is yet wasn't yet. >> It was just another piece of it was just another piece of land. It was even even before Kanan. There wasn't It wasn't Kanan yet. Kanan was after Noah. Why was it called Kanan? Because Noah's uh grandson's name was Kanan. And he went over there and he conquered that area and he called it Kanan. But before Noah, there was no Kanan. It was they were all living all they were living all over the world and uh in fact it was all one yabashad the whole world. It wasn't continents like we have today. How many continents do we have in the world today? >> Seven continents. How many continents do we have at the time of Noah? >> One one continent. Everything was connected. And the broke up all the continents into seven different pieces. So there wasn't that was specified like it is today or that was later on. But Hashem obviously knew the future. He knew that this specific land is a special part of the land. From there he created the world and uh he excluded from the mabul. What's the next question? >> Yes in the back. First question is here to challenge us and trick us into things when life become pointless. >> Ah very very good. So if the is here to trick us why is he hashem going to destroy it once mashia comes. So the answer is that the doesn't actually mean that Hashem is going to kill the but rather right now the the job of the that he that Hashem gave him is to try to trick us. That's his job. Meaning it's not that uh he can't do anything else but rather that's his job. Just like Malik has a certain job has a certain job. For example, Malik is the one that Hashem sends to heal people. So every Malik has a job. Every Malik has a job. So Hashem made the and his job is to and trick us. Once the Msiah comes, there's everyone that is alive after everything that happens with Msiah and everyone that's sadik, everyone that's a righteous person sadik or then that means that they they beat the they didn't fall for his trap and even if they fell they did. So there's no more purpose for the and Hashem is going to remove that job from him. So saying he's shifting the doesn't mean he's actually killing him. Rather it means that he's going to change his job. He's not going to be a uh an angel that his job is to fool you. Rather he's actually going to be a holy angel and the say he's going to be such a holy angel that people will call their kids after his name after his real name. Not yet is not his real name. It's just one of the ways we describe him. is going to be serving and >> he's always serving Hashem even now right now when he's when he's trying to fool people to go against Hashem that he's not doing it because he wants to do it. He's doing it because that's his job that Hashem gave him. So he's serving Hashem that way because if he tries to fool you and you don't fall for it, then Hashem can give you a reward for not falling for it. But if if he fools somebody and that person falls for it, then Hashem can give them a punishment because they f they fell for it. It's a reward and punishment system that Hashem has in order to justify giving you either a reward or giving somebody a punishment. Ken, you have a question. >> Ken, wait. What Messiah comes the Torah says that the the holy people would die with that make the people who came back that came back alive wouldn't that that would they be embarrassed >> I'm not following the question ask again say it again >> when come says that During the holy people will die in this Msiah. >> But people will be brought back to life even if they weren't as long as they were Jewish as long as they had purpose. >> Would they be embarrassed that they weren't invited to Messiah's uh banquet because >> Okay. So I'm not sure where you heard that all the righteous people will die with the Messiah. It depends if you're talking about Mashiah Ben Ysef, Mashia Ben Davidid and also different stages of the of the process, but it works this way. The people that are righteous, meaning that they followed what Hashem says, if they're a Jew, they followed what the Torah says for Jewish people. If they're not Jewish, they follow what Torah says for non-Jewish people. those people will uh Hashem will save them from all of the trouble that happens in the world from the war from all of the uh havoc that will happen in the world Hashem will save them and the Messiah will be good for them. Now after that there's 40 years after Mashiach comes there's going to be what's called resurrection of the dead which is all of the righteous people all of theot that ever lived are going to resurrect from the dead and come back to the world and the people that were alive at the time of Msiah that were righteous enough to stay alive at the time of Mashiach there's there's a there's a debate among kakam whether they're going to have to die and then be resurrected with everybody else or they're going to just stay alive. Why would Hashem kill them and then bring them back to life 5 seconds later? Because there is a certain significance for them to uh to taste the death for a second as as a for them to erase any remaining sins that they have. So some say that they would have to die for a second and then he would resurrect them with the rest of everybody else. Either way, the uh the people that are going to see Msiah are not just righteous people, but they have to be specific types of righteous people that also have uh the merit to go to Gan Eden, but also have to have the merit to see Msiah. Meaning that it's two different merits. So you could have, for example, a merit to get an A in class or get a 100 in class, but you may not have the merit to go on the class trip. How could somebody have an A in the class, but not be allowed to go on the class trip? Because he did really good on the tests, but the behavior wasn't good. So the teacher punished him by saying, "You're not allowed to go to the trip." So a person can be good in following the Torah and but it must they could have done a c a certain sin where they lost the of actually being alive at the time of Msiah. Now generally speaking it's a uh most righteous people are going to see Mashiach that are going to be resurrected with the dead. But either way our goal is not necessarily to figure out if this one is that or this one is that. Our goal is to try to make sure that we're righteous >> and we follow the righteous people. >> But you're saying that if you don't go into but you're Jewish and you righteous like super righteous but like you did make you did s you just did life. >> Does that mean you don't get resurrected or do you stay dead? Why? Well, in order for someone to be considered righteous, they have to follow the Torah. Meaning, they have to keep Shabbat. They have to keep kosher. They uh they have to say the truth and not lie. They can't steal from people. They have to follow what the Torah laws are. Now, even if they make sins along the way where they eat non-coosher by accident or they make a mistake and they violate Shabbat or they're not following all the laws 100% but it's by accident, then they can do chuva for it and Hashem will still give them the, you know, the the merit of seeing Msiah and uh the merit of going to Ganed. But if a person is Jewish and he just doesn't want to keep Shabbat, instead of keeping Shabbat and going to Besset and everything else, he wants to go work or he wants to go to the beach or he wants to do things that are not allowed. Uh and he dies that way without doing Chuva, then no, he's not going to go to Gan Eden, he's not going to see Mashiach, and he's uh not going to be in a good place. There's a reward and there's a punishment. If you do what Hashem says, you get a reward. If you don't, there's a punishment instead. Not everybody goes to Ganeda just because they're Jewish. >> Okay. >> When the para korak thought that he could do the >> repeat was said thought what >> he told the >> Yeah. because he saw the future that >> he was an ancestor. Yes. >> Who in holiness would be equal to Moshe and A together? >> Ken, >> if it is that way, then why did he die with a kiss from like Moshe? Because even though Korak saw that his descendant is going to be and Na'vi, he made a mistake because just because him doesn't mean that it's going to that that he's right at whatever he did. What he tried to do is go against Mosherenu. What he tried to do went against what he did went against Hashem by saying that he should be the leader and people should follow him. So because of that instead of him being a sadik that will go to ganed and do good things he ended up becoming a that Hashem punished him and sent him to go. So the uh the parad if you see if you go over there it says that Hashem opened up the uh the ground and it swallowed Korak and his followers and uh this is one of the uh places where people get punished and Korak is there. Uh why? Because he went against Hashem. He was considered a heretic. He was somebody that went against Moshe went against Hashem. Now still came from him. How did he come from him? Because the sons of Korak did Shouba before it was too late. >> Last second. And they had kids and they had grandkids and eventually Navi came from his uh came from his kids. So something good came from him but he himself did something really bad that cost him his uh cost him his uh >> that's not my question is if he not >> ah okay so you're asking your question is about not about okay so when the when the says when The sages say that was uh like Moshe and Aon in his generation. It doesn't mean that he was as great as them as far as in holiness. Rather at the time of Moshe Rabenu, the uh the Navi of all the Naveim was Moshe Rabenu and the Quen Gdal was Aron. There was two different leaders each had different jobs. Moshe was in essence the king and Aon was right next to him. At the time of there was no second person that was uh that was a a leader. It was just so it's as if did both jobs like Moshe and Aon. So what is that like? Imagine you have a teacher that teaches uh Torah and another teacher that teaches math. Two different teachers. But then one day you come to school and you see that only your Torah teacher is there and you say, "Oh, but how are we going to learn math? We have a class, math class. We have a test and your rabbi says teaching Torah." Don't worry, I know Torah and I also know math. So I'll teach you both. So today I'll have both jobs. And that's in essence what was he had both jobs. in essence. Yes. Yes. Both. >> Okay. Anything else? >> Okay. Enjoy the rest of your pizza. Don't forget to do if you ate full slice at least. And uh and it's bread. Like my dear brother says, it's 100% requires mazone. Don't forget. Do you know that bat mazone? Do you know how it's different than the rest of the >> when you say for example the for doing >> but when you say for is different why it's different the is from the sages but the of is from the Torah itself says we have to do and that's why it's more important and if you guys want to watch this and other things we have we have a channel called BH kids that every week has new little interesting things coming out.
