PREPARING FOR THE JUDGEMENT

[Music] oh [Music] glad to be back in the uh States see you guys learn with you guys a little bit let let you know a little bit about what happened over the last month and a half or so Ines and uh to try to see how we could uh prepare for y the um lecture tonight is called the uh you know about it's all about judgment and uh the truth is that you know we have every year and people uh go through they uh sing the songs with they get an idea is it working it's working you can see uh they uh sing the some people think it's a song Some People realize it's a prayer the question is how do we get into r with the right mindset but not just going to be change our R sh but also change our lives and even more so how do we make sure that this is not just a onetime thing where you get influenced one time you do a few good things but then you go back to the way you were before so one thing I can tell you about the trip ter Israel is aside from the land itself M the Dust In the Land itself is Holy um it's uh unbelievable place and I'm not talking about I didn't go sightseeing I didn't go to see any type of uh uh special things I saw the cotel uh we went to the zoo aside from that my sightseeing was sing speak that was my sightseeing go see real Torah Scholars at our you know a couple of them that uh speak to some learn with them and uh that was really the most extraordinary sightseeing that I could ever uh imagine and the reason why is because you realize how different the world is uh in that place versus where you're from now when you see these people they look like regular people and uh some of them look like the people that you see here in America and in other countries you know the the uh the suits the hats but when you speak to them all the difference in the world is made what they're thinking about how they live their life and one of the greatest things that you can do is simply watch to talk and try to understand what's happening there because it's m a sight to behold now one of the things that you'll notice with a lot of not just today but throughout all of the generation many of them struggle struggle financially this has a lot to do with what happened the mid says discusses it uh about what happened with asav his Mal who fought yobu and he despite the fact that yov won he uh he heard him and uh that was actually say talks about it where how this is how there's going to be but they'll struggle they'll struggle financially now of course there's always exceptions RI R AKA and uh many others were very very wealthy but uh for the most part you see many struggle financially but you don't see them stop their learning or change their learning or complain about it all day you see them learn on the other hand when you go into the world the Western World whether a person is sitting in Yeshiva or a person is in a or a person is a balab works but learns a little bit or is about chva or a convert one thing that I've noticed and I have a lot of experience with people in the western world uh people in business people in religion and so on one of the things that you'll notice about people is that the most common topic of conversation is money either the aspiration to acquire money or the struggle because of money and all of the difficulties that they're dealing with because of whatever money did to them whether good or bad money is a constant topic of conversation how much money does he have how much money did he made how much did that cost how much this and how much that and interestingly enough when you go and you speak to real it's it's not really the same to say the least they don't talk like that they don't speak about money that way and uh quite frankly it's they don't view it the same way now of course you could say it's all because of the Torah but yeah there's Tor there's Tor you go to a Yesa you speak to a couple of you ask them what do you do all day they'll tell you they're learning to you go to a tell them what do you guys do all day tell you they learning toah what are we doing learn to you go uh on online all the Facebook Warriors you know that keep posting different uh things that they think is good you ask them what do you do all day says I'm learning to I'm sharing I'm doing K I'm sharing lectures I'm learning to I listen to five lectures a day I'm learning toah at the same token you say okay so everybody's learning T but how come there's such a difference between his Tor and your Tor how come the second you're missing $50 $500 $5,000 whatever that amount is all of a sudden your mind cannot think straight you can't look at your wife in the face your kids are annoying to you automatically everything is upside down the second there's money struggles divorce is on the line you want to quit you want to get hired you thinking about suicide drugs are you know becoming interesting to you everything in the World Turns Upside Down the second money is a topic but then when you go to is and you meet your next door neighbor and they say listen if you have any extra toys that your kids are not playing with we more than happy to accept them and they look they look to you like they're the richest people in the world you don't see poor people with ripped clothes and somebody begging for change no you see regular people but they're struggling they don't have money to buy toys for their kids or you see another person there listen you know if there's anything extra that somebody can do you know we we'd be happy to accept it because we still haven't been able to find a way to buy food for Shabbat so their struggle is much more difficult than most people most people today they complain about the fact that they're not eating meat every single day you know you only eat meat once a day for seven days a week he didn't eat twice a day in it's very different if they eat meat once a week it's already a big deal so you see that the money issue is everywhere but they treat it differently they treat it differently one of the most common things that happens at this time of the year is people donate money people donate money for religious purposes for they buy alot if you're sapharic you buy alot you compete with the rest of the members in a betet who can outbid who who can buy who which Aliyah did you get did you get the one that has to do with parasa is it in the morning are you actually going to show up for the morning or you just going to end up buying it and giving it to somebody else all types of interesting things and then a bunch of guys you know sometimes they don't want to spend the money themselves so they team up to buy one alas you see like 18 people to buy a single Aliah is if that you know that actually counts all types of interesting things happen in a besset and that's in the Safari World in ashkanazi world it's very different they actually appreciate their way much better everything is done behind the scenes the guy just simply shows up because he already took care of it before he came to the BET before the holiday even came everybody did the donations behind the scenes whether it was a competition or not is irrelevant the point is is that their way is different and you see that people donate to theet to the ISA of course there's a lot of different causes the question is why does everybody donate money especially at this time of the year of course people donate throughout all the whole year but you see that this is an auspicious time for donations and many people take advantage of it and they donate even if they don't even keep Shabbat even if they don't go to besset the whole year you'll find them in the besset on the holidays and many times the less religious they are the more they donate now of course it's a problem to give an Aliyah to the Tora to somebody that doesn't keep Shabbat but the there's not that many rabbis that are willing to uh say no you have to have a lot of in order to know that the dollar will come with or without the but either way the the key is to understand that money is an issue at this time of the year more than others and instead of money being an issue it really should be the N should be an issue person should be looking at themselves in a mirror and ask themselves why am I this way why am I not better than than what I am if he's one of like one of these people that I met one time that after he had a medical issue I asked him uh you I told him you'll be fine you know take care of yourself and he looks at me funny goes no I'm fine it's you guys said what do you mean you guys says I I got sick because of you guys he became a little Jesus even though he was Jewish rabbi thought that he got sick because of the KA so if you're that kind of a person then perhaps there's a different sh for you maybe in a mental institution but if you're a normal person and you realize that there's more to work on you can work on your anger on your stinginess on your arrogance on your whatever it is everybody's got their own flaws their own good their own bad anyone thinks that they're complete is usually much less complete than they could even imagine but the point being is is that a person is supposed to worry about their where do I stand am I actually observing all of the said do I even know all of them can anyone here raise their hand and say I can name 613 mitv most people can't can you even name the mitv that you're obligated to do every day forget about 63 mitvah because most of them are not relevant to most people but can you actually name the mitv that are relevant to you personally every single day sometimes I ask people what do you do after you leave the bathroom say oh I wash my hands I said and then what oh no you know I go back to work about oh yeah yeah that too so it's sometimes people you know if you don't put a something a reminder for them they forget and when you come to the you don't want to forget you because during that time you're asking fora if you're lonely you're asking for a z if you're married but unhappy then you're asking for a divorce if you're uh if you don't have uh something you want it you want AEM to help you some people ask to take away things from them some people ask to give them things everybody asks for stuff and sometimes people think that if I bribe AEM and I donate to the synagogue I donate to the Yeshiva I donate to the kiru organization then perhaps that's going to be the reason of why I get it because I donate and sometimes they're sadly disappointed because they donated and it didn't happen in fact they got sicker or they uh lost their job and all types of other things so the question is why do all of these different things happen these are some of the things we're going to try to discuss in our preparation for Judgment Day because again when you see how people prepare for Judgment Day in and I'm not talking about all of is because surely There Are Places over there that we had to go to T Aviv one time and have to do a tun just from being on that land because of what's happening over there m people walking around naked I couldn't believe it I didn't actually think that it was that bad until I saw it and it was really much a a a something that tragic because you see these are your brothers and sisters but they have no concept that there's a God in there's a God that's watching the country there's a God that's watching the people there's a reason why they're even in the world of course you're always going to find religious people everywhere in Tel Aviv and yam in other places you're going to find also secular people everywhere you're going to find secular people in B and and everywhere but I'm not talking about the the the exception or I'm talking about just the mentality the environment the air you see that there's an extraordinary amount of Kusa in some places and an extraordinary amount of Tuma in other places and really the only difference between the two is the amount of Torah that's being taught and the amount of Torah that's being learned in the place that's the only difference between the two now the same concept goes with here in America or if you're watching in Australia or England or any other country in the world the difference between your community and a that has a lot of Kusa in it is simply the amount of Torah that's there there are some people that tell me listen this is the best year of my life I have you know good K I have a good this and a good that but that's usually a few far in between usually most people come to me with complaints one person told me that they uh their Kaa decided to have an event what's the event they invited a Muslim IM to speak to the Jewish people of the community a Muslim IM there's no more rabbis in the world they had to go find a Muslim IM to go speak to some terrorist is going to come both spiritually and physically he's going to speak to the Jewish community in theet other people they're bringing priests like Goldberg over there they're they've taught the rest of the world that you're allowed to bring priests and pastors and all types of missionaries to synagogues that's that has already become some of of a standard when people didn't want to fight for it now you see it happening in many but it other people are bringing homosexuals to to explain to people how you could be yourself even though you're not yourself and you could be a guy even though you really were born a girl and all types of stupid things like the stuff that's happening in New York people showed me this video of some uh some guy that's teaching but he looks like a girl and they fired him and they hired him and all types of I I just don't understand how did you hire this thing who hired this person you know R Charles a blind person who who hired this person how did you not know this is a guy but again the question is what happened before in that Yesa that allowed the Gates of Heaven to just say you know what let them inherit this to into Yesa what happened in that Yeshiva because in sham there's a bed and the bed of shamim has to decide allowed not allowed go no go am I going to allow this place to get hurt am I going to allow this place to be protected one thing or the other what happened there before this thing happened before this public embarrassment happened what happened I can tell you what happened the little bit that I know it's a place that shouldn't even exist according to Al they call themselves a Yesa but boys and girls and all types of immodesty and immorality runs a rampant over there so a place that not only allows but even promotes all the things that are against the Torah but yet calls themselves Yeshiva similar to Yeshiva University that even the court of theim declare them as a non-religious organization what did you expect or when you have the the the new king of England telling the head Rabbi of England listen you have to go home it's Shabbat soon the has to REM has to remind the rabbi Shabbat he go no no don't worry about it I'll wait with everybody else he's not worried about Shabbat he's not worried about the King of Kings he's worried about the king of a few days before the guy goes to like like his sh where he's going there's two there the good one and the bad one anyway it's important for us to know that self accounting is something that every single person has to do every single institution has to do because that's the primary part of the job of what we're supposed to do at this time of the year the gave an analogy and he said that life is like a deer that's running into the forest now deers if you ever saw one we went to the zoo in they have a beautiful zoo over there it's huge you need like a half a day or a day to actually see the whole thing or simply for the place to be empty but it's a huge place and they in essence are trying to portray all the different animals that were in Noah Noah's Ark of course it's not all of them but nonetheless it's a beautiful place very big very realistic and when you see there's different types of deer and they have these huge horns and some of them they make sounds they sound like tigers but it's really a deer now if a Tiger shows up that deer is not going to look like it's not going to sound like a tiger anymore he's going to sound more like a mouse he's going to run into the woods him and his big beautiful horns and what is number one job run into the woods as fast as possible now there's a problem the bigger the horns the more the obstacle why cuz the horns can get caught up into some tree or a branch or some Bush so while they were beautiful while he was trying to find a new wife now when he's running away from a tiger or he's running away from a lion or he's running away from something else it's not so uh important to have these horns in fact if he could just completely take them off throw them in the garbage it would be better for him why cuz then he could just fly through the woods no one can ever catch him so really what ends up happening this beautiful horns end up being almost like an impediment something that's like holding him back but they're beautiful yeah but now my life is on the line the Sab says life is just like this a person is like a deer and his character traits the bad ones are like the horns they look beautiful looks beautiful like he's a macho guy he's an arrogant guy he even won a president election in some uh country or some place or some school and he has all these different attributes that some people are demy even though they should frown upon them and the reality is that when a push comes to shove and he's going to have to be judged in a bed of sham whether it's going to be at the time he dies or at the time of mashia or it's going to be at the time of where he's pleading for please give me the doctor just called and they said they found something in my hip please Hashem make it nothing make it nothing or when he asked please they just fired me from the job I was making $300,000 a year I lived a life of $400,000 a year now I don't even have the $300,000 a year and I don't even know what to tell my wife because she already lives like it's $800,000 a year Hashem give me some other type of job even though it's a recession even though it's a possible depression please help me and he's pleading with and pleading with please help me here please help me there and the says what about those horns what about those bad mid when asked you to be generous but you decided to be stingy when asked you to quiet that tiger inside you stop pretending like you're a tiger you're really a deer but you decide to pretend like you're a tiger when you yell to your wife and your kids and your co-workers and your customers and your competition and some guy in traffic that you don't even know and you simply decided that you want to call him all types of names and even remind him of his mother and his grandmother what about those character traits that you have those beautiful horns that you thought they were beautiful what about those things during the day of judgment that's when it matters it may not matter on a day-to- day for an average person an average person especially if they are already used to a certain way of life whether it be success or otherwise they get accustomed to their Char character traits they you know they're just angry that's the way I am stingy that's the way I am uh arrogant that's the way I am doesn't have any patience that's the way I am they get accustomed to it when do they realize it was a mistake to get accustomed to it when do they realize it was a mistake to lose inm to to have no faith in hem when push comes to shove and they're being judged how do they know they're being judged because times are rough right now the world is transforming the financial situation in the world is very very shaky a lot of people have lost some money over the last year or so but if this is the end that this is the be not even the beginning if this is the end then this recession that started in the decline of certain things by 20 or so percent is not even the beginning it's going to get much much worse I don't know if this is the end or not all I do know is that people some people feel like it's the end why because their Bitcoin dropped 80% or because some other stupid investment that they made you know people realized it was stupid like they were the last guy holding the bag that was full of nothing and they're they're upset that no one wants to buite it from them so the reality is is that the world is transforming there are over 27 countries countries we're not even talking about companies 27 countries that are on the verge of bankruptcy they're going to default within the next 12 months or less countries are not going to have to pay their bills the crisis in Ukraine and Russia is much bigger than you can possibly imagine why because at any given moment it can turn into a World War if Russia does something or America does something or China does something or anybody else does something could simply decide to press the button and it becomes a nuclear war it's not just some average war between the uh the the Shiites and the and the uh and and their uh brothers that they hate the sunn it's not like the the war between Korea South Korea and North Korea no this is much much bigger who's putting everything on the line the financial are on the line some people are still making money some people are losing money but overall everybody still has you know food to eat but you see that there's literally a crisis around the corner and no one has a clue what to do with it some people say no it's going to be okay some people no it's not going to be okay I just don't know when it's not going to be okay there are certain currencies that have been devalued to such an extent that people that were multi-billionaires literally have $10 left they had so much money they didn't know what to do with it but the currency dropped in value to such an extent it became worse than toilet paper there are countries out there where they literally have taken the currency taken the bills and have throwing them in the garbage there's nothing you can do with it it's not even worth the paper that it's on but these are countries that have a messed huge amount of wealth in the past but decided that time has ended for them so when a person does some self- accounting and he looks at the world around him and then he also realizes okay so financially not so secure and then he also realize wait a minute there's a guy in a Kila where is he and he finds out the guy died when did he did he die oh he died last month he died last week he died yesterday he died six months ago how did he die Corona aneurism cancer there's no shortage of reasons for death thear says there's over 900 ways to die and unfortunately one of the downsides of being in this uh in this field of dealing with the public is that you get to know a lot of people and unfortunately you get to know a lot of people that die one of our very very dear friends and partner she was an extraordinary woman did a lot of literally her whole life was just we lost her in the last month she had cancer six years ago no one knew and uh it went put it on break so we could do some more together feed tens of thousands of people together she would literally distribute it to all parts of the country do all types of things amazing things you know and it came back it came back just a few months ago within a matter of a few weeks she was gone all we could do in the interim is pray send some stuff to the house beds wheelchairs all types of things to make the pain you know a little a little easier make it less less painful no one actually thought you was going to die I figured you know okay this is a temporary shakeup why because she was so enthusiastic that she was already talking about oh yeah we're going to do a huge you know food distribution for my and she was already getting ready she's in bed dying no but she's already getting ready that she's going to distribute more food to the community and then she's gone and if that's not enough there's unfortunately other people that we know that have passed away some from cancer some from other reasons so the more a person looks around and sees the world around him sees the world around her they realize okay so even life is not promised to us no one is guaranteed even tomorrow I can tell you personally that there are many times where I think I'm going to die not because I think of any other reason other than the fact that just a simple reality simple reality of how you feel a simple reality of certain circumstances that are happening in your life and the only thing you can think of during that time is not how much money you have in the bank and not did I call my best friend oh did I have enough fun in my life the only thing you can think if you have a brain in your mind is what am I going to tell my maker when I see him what do I have to offer what am I going to say what what could I possibly say that I did in this world he gave me an x amount of years what can I what did I bring home what did I bring home this is one of the most important thoughts that a person needs to have why Judgment Day is literally a week away less and during says the entire world goes in a row single file Row in front of a in front of a who like sheep you know when they the the guys that are transferring tens of thousands of sheep from one place to another in the beginning you see it's huge amounts looks like uh pce of land is moving but then when they want to H them and put them into a ranch into a place what do they do single files tiny little door one in at a time one in at a time the says on has every single creature Jew or G Gentile come in front of him and he has to judge is this person going to live for another year or not is this person going to have money or not is he going to profit or lose get married get divorced have kids lose kids be healthy get sick all of those things are going to be decided literally in a matter of a few days and the more a person realizes what's on the line the more they understand maybe I do need to look in the mirror a little more often and start preparing myself to what have I achieved in my life so a woman can say well I had kids good for you you had kids but is it good for the world that you had kids if you brought four Hitlers into the world it was better off you didn't bring anybody but if your kids know a little bit of Tor they know you have they have a fear of the almighty they're good to people they're nice to people they're kind they're they're not a disaster a tragedy a hazard to society then yeah you had kids but if your kids are simply causing harm to the world around them it was better off you didn't bring those kids and guess what the difference between Hitler and a sadik is how much T he's going to learn why because that t is the only tool that's going to make him into what he is going to be if he has the tat he can be a sadik if he doesn't have a Torah there's no doubt that he will be a rash why there is no way to be a righteous person without having the manual from a now you can say yeah but other religions have a manual sure let's see what their people did over the years you have the manual of the Christians that have murdered more people than all of society put together over the last 100 years in the name of their religion in the name of their false god when you have the Muslims they say yeah we teach ethics yes you teach ethics but unfortunately you're not ethnical yourself and your leaders are not ethnical because they're Mass murderers today the past the pro the and the future there's a reason there's a prophecy where says he's going to punish these people he's not going to punish the righteous nodes he's not going to punish the righteous Jews but he will punish the wicked people whether they're Jews or Gentiles the difference between Wicked and not who listen to the Torah if you created your own man certainly you're not listening to you're contradicting the so a person that looks into where they stand and say wait a minute I'm not promised tomorrow at all live or die but most people don't really like to think about things like this it's very morbid people get depressed about it they don't want to think about dying they don't want to think about getting sick yeah but your brother is sick your cousin is sick your uncle is sick somebody you know is sick yeah yeah but let's not talk about it oh so we pretend he's healthy there's a reason why the at the end of the says the greatest of doctors goes to what all the doctors in the room getting scared what do you mean the best doctor goes to G yeah that's what the says why would the best doctor go to Gom is that the best doctor that he has a special skill and he's the best spinal surgeon no no no the best doctor where he thinks he has more Mercy than God he has a patience in front of him and he knows the patient is sick he checked he looks at the test the guy's terminal cancer the guy's Corona virus the guy has Pikachu whatever he has he has something and he knows the guy's in bad shape but you know the guy is Happy why he just got married he's young he's healthy he feels healthy he's telling them about the vacation he's going with his new wife they're going to go bike riding and mountain climbing and all types of things and going to go on vacation for 6 months cuz I made a bunch of money on Wall Street and da da da and he's excited about it and the doctor knows he's not going to live six weeks what six months but what I'm going to tell him the do think I'm going to tell him that I'm going to ruin his no I don't want to if I tell him he's say why you so scary doctor why you being so scary why you being so negative so you know what I tell him oh I checked everything's good enjoy your vacation the said say that doctor he goes to G home why why don't you tell the patient the truth yeah but then I'll make him upset it's better he's upset and knows the truth and he can prepare for it than live a lie the ra says the that speak to the public and tell them the truth despite how much it hurts they are the spiritual doctors those doctors are what we need in the world but unfortunately as times get more and more difficult the addictions to money and otherwise get greater and greater and the truth is more and more lost so those doctors are very few and far in between very hard to find them so a person has to do what a lot of people in the medical world what are most people do when they feel a little itch a little pain a little headache some bump whatever the first thing that 90% of society at least in America first thing they do Dr Google self diagnose WebMD Google whatever you go on whatever whatever your preference is I have a pain in my left side and then there's other applications okay what color hair do you have what color eyes do you what did you do last week and they ask you a bunch of questions so then you think oh since I can ask all these questions probably what the doctor's doing you start self diagnosing oh yeah I happened to have a one big toe and I happen to have one black eye and I happen to have this by the time you say oh that it's just a toothache yeah but my foot hurts because of a toothache he's not the show but somehow he's like oh you know what I'm fine he self diagnosed himself he feels fine I don't need to go to the doctor now when it comes to Medicine I wouldn't necessarily recommend this self diagnosing but when it comes to spirituality you don't really have another choice you have to self diagnose you have to self diagnose and check to see where you you stand there's an instruction set that it's called the Torah and the Torah tells you that you're obligated to do certain things there are certain things that are obvious and there are certain things that perhaps are not so obvious you have to learn them you have to know what it says not just the stories but also the Commandments the obligations theim spent everything they possibly could all of their energy their resources to try to identify who they really are and where they stand during this time of the Year many of them took more and more on themselves because they wanted to perfect themselves because they knew that the day will come and they're going to have to meet their maker and they have to report what have we done now the gar talks about a lot of different things one of the things that the garah brings is what do you do during Desperate Times Desperate times person has Financial issues person has a health issues all types of issues now we know that there's a famous midash mid Zuta in a uh of quet in the fifth par 6 and this mid says the very famous thing that probably every single one of you have heard at some point that prayer chuva repentance and staka charity make the evil decree pass so the first question we have to ask ourselves this is good it's good we know that if you do chuva if you give Stu to the right place not to some church or place that looks like a synagogue but is really a church if you pray you do chv you give that could make whatever difficulty you have in your life pass difficulty in pregnancy difficulty in raising kids difficult financially difficult healthwise whatever difficulty you have these are three secrets that kazal gave us that can make the evil decree pass great but then we have to ask ourselves why does it say that the evil decree will pass why doesn't it say it ends it there an evil decree just lost half of his money just got sick wife wants to divorce him husband found a new girlfriend whatever happened horrible things if I do these few things why doesn't it make that evil decree just end why does it say pass so some say because if a person really does these three things the right way Hashem gives him a double reward what's the double reward he makes the evil decree go from him to his enemies so he gets the extra benefit of seeing his enemy suffer but then we thought about a different hos is walking in the streets with his few of his students and all of a sudden there's a huge cobra snake something enormous something like out of the movies not that you guys ever watched any movies but one of these huge snakes passes by this next almost have a heart attack this thing might as well be in anakanda huge sees the snake pass them and calls the snake stop you Pastor she stop stop snake listens stops turns around of is says where you going the snake says I'm going to kill such such person from there we learn that either the snake spoke like the original serpent or that since was one of the great they knew 70 languages which included the language of the animals but also means that there students understood either way he tells I'm going to kill such and such some Jew says no you can't go there no no I have a decree from sh I have a decree from sh that I'm allowed to go kill him says no no we just came from his house he did cha now have to kill him so snake has to listen to the and he goes away they continue walking walking walking all of a sudden they he screams you know like somebody died everybody's hysterical so they go and see it and they see the snake leaving he just killed somebody who did he kill some thief some guy that was a thief said I don't say I thought you said to the to the snake that he's not allowed to kill there a decree says to them I didn't tell him he's not alled to kill I told him he's not let to kill that Jew because that Jew did Chua yeah but then he ended up killing another person of course he's going to kill another person why the bullet was already fired in sham the decree was already passed in sham it has to go somewhere there's no such thing as it just goes away a decree was made you changed yourself last minute you did Chua you did you gave you did that those things last minute okay so it's going to go somewhere else but it has to go somewhere so it went to the appropriate place which is that guy that was a thief so from there we learn that there are plenty of evil decrees in the world that are very very obvious to us every other day anyone that monitors the news or simply talks to people because that's what people like to talk about there's no end to the bad news so there are a lot of evil decrees in the world question is what can we do about them so one of the things that you'll notice if any of you are clever enough to take advantage of this opportunity of me telling you that you should go out and buy this book it's called the altar of nardu go to artscroll.com or Amazon or any of these websites and you buy this book a few things you going to learn from this book number one you learn that you have nothing to complain about I don't care what you're going through through once you read this book you'll never complain again if you do you probably should go to some mental institution because whatever life you have it's roses next to what they lived and this is not a thousand years ago 2,000 years ago 100 years ago this is Grandparents some people parents even now these were theim of the Sab naok the alar of naok they suffered through a time of World War I the the disaster of what happened in Russia over there communism World War II literally there was not a minute of Peace starvation was normal not eating for 3 Days wasn't because they were fasting because they were trying to perfect themselves they simply didn't have food so imagine you don't eat for one day oh yum yeah it's tough what if you don't eat for two days no Rabbi I'll die what about three days can anybody really do that Rabbi yes could do even for longer but it's much worse if you do it because you have no choice anyone that saw any of the films or pictures of the people of the Holocaust you could only imagine how long these people didn't eat the Nazis very smart people knew exactly what it took simply to allow them to survive on the least amount now these sikim in Russia and Poland were fleeing from place to place Crossing Borders putting their lives on the line every single day why because they will learn learning T you weren't allowed to learn Tor you weren't allowed to teach Tor yes were being burned rabbis were being arrested or killed or sent to Siberia which might as well be a death penalty just slower horrible things were happening much of the the the crime wasn't just from the gim there was a a sect of Jews called Yia communist Jews that made it their life mission to go and kill religious Jews especially rabbis and these caused an extraordinary amount of damage to the Jewish World scared students scared rabbis scared everybody were being closed down either because there was no money to run them there was no money to feed the people or simply they were just killing people in the streets just because they were learning toah but then there was the sa who was opening yes during this time everyone is closing down their yes he open 70 more 70 yes during a time people are literally running away from the from the from theet they're hiding that they're even Jewish he's opening yes he's sending his to more places there's another street over there there's another uh community over there go up another as things got worse they continued opening more he was doing something that was literally the opposite of normal after he passed he went TOA his students continued unlike other leaders that left the world and left a complete disaster behind them his students were all leaders and they all went and opened up more yes hundreds of yes were opened during a time of War during the time of pilgrims inquisitions during the time of disaster starvation they didn't have food to eat didn't have clothes to wear nothing they had to flee from country to Country why they opena they do whatever they can they learn non-stop but then the police comes or somebody comes they have to leave right now there's no time oh let me get some money together nothing Goa okay can I have some money no there's no money okay can I have money Le for the train no there's no money for the train either but B you'll succeed no money for the train no food to take no money for go open a month later a new is is opened how wanted let to happen but the the sacrifice these people made during this time if you read some of these stories of how much they suffered but for one thing that you're never going to see in this book is anyone giving up onah they learned so much toah day and night that you literally could not take them away from it at times when soldiers of the ofia the Communists would come to try to arrest them to try to do something they talk to them and some of these je sexia became huge rabbis one of the biggest rabbis that was a of was a soldier and these people were willing to give up everything why for another five minutes of Torah somebody came to one of the big at that time and told him yeah but they teach too much M over there they don't learn enough to if the rashash says get out of my Yeshiva you don't belong here anymore so why I like the Yeshiva I'm in I'm telling you there Yesa is not good he goes no no no you don't understand if you don't understand that what the M that the is teaching is unlike anything else in the world that no one in the world can do what he does you don't belong in Maya even though we don't do what he does it's not because we don't want to we can't but you speak against it many people think of the as some grandfather that said I love you to everybody in his younger years he would teach people M and fear of Heaven fear of constantly talk about Gom constantly talk about why you need to be afraid of a the in this that and the himself suffered so much but you're never going to hear a single complaint from either one of them why because they knew they were here in this world temporarily to complete a mission and everything has a reason so the says something unusual something that really is against logic page 63a in the name of he says in a time of those who Gather in meaning when the sages of that time are not teaching Torah either because there's pilgrims inquisitions or whatever other horrible things happen in the world throughout history and people are not teaching tah you go and distribute your wisdom you go teach but in a time where those are Distributing the wisdom you gather yours in here hak the famous hak says something that's really against logic says if nobody if none of the big rabis are teaching you go teach and if they are teaching go back and learn for yourself you would think it's the opposite if they're not teaching they're the big rabbis they're the they must have good reason what I'm going to go against the rabbis and if they're teaching then perhaps people want more to us so maybe that's where I could throw my head in and I could teach also if there was a lot of sh so I should also do a sh but if nobody's doing a shi why should I do a shi and spend all this money to arrange the place and put it and decorate it and do all these different things why should I do any of that nobody else is doing it so I should also stay home relax enjoy myself hang out with my my kids learn Tora become R AKA I don't know do something good why do I have to do all this when nobody else is doing it that's the logic is the opposite if they're not teaching you go teach if they are teaching you go learn okay we don't understand yet but we do see that that's exactly what they did so they must have a reason page 7A says there's a p in the tanak in the seph chapter 1 verse 12 and a couple of said that were and Ri Ra Andi so they know who who said this with it same or the other but they say there's a p in a Tora inph that says thus says AEM though they are united and likewise many even so they shall be Shor off and it shall pass away you read this whether in English or in Hebrew you have no idea what's going on that there are many they're United even though they're United and there's many they they'll be Shor off and then they'll should pass what does it mean that's what we need say this is what it means if a person sees that his Provisions his P his money his bank account his stock account his Bitcoin account whatever money he has whatever gold he has whatever diamonds he has all that stuff he sees that money go down he sees that his portfolio laws 30 40 50 60 90% of his money not good right so the logic is you just lost 90% of your money what did you do logic is protect take the less 10% put it in some safe then put that safe in another safe and if you could afford to buy a third safe get a third safe put the two safes in that one safe why because there's probably some Mal some somebody that's here to take your money so hopefully he won't take the last 10% until he passes right that's what you would think logically you lost 90% of your money you don't have money to to do anything you could barely make ends meat you could barely have food for the week for Shabbat you lost so much money so what you should do protect what you have that's the logic don't say that though don't agree with you the common logic which is what I just said is the opposite of what said what the say say if a person sees that his Provisions are measured exactly to his needs meaning he barely has enough to finish the week very little he has he should nonetheless take from them and give staka what do you mean I just lost 90% of my money you want me to give staka now logic says what does everybody tell me Rabbi If I Had a Million Dollars I'm giving you half a million Rabbi if I win the lot I'm giving you 90% of it I don't need that money Rabbi if I had this and if I had that if I win this and I get this I'm giving everything away okay what do you have now no I don't have that much well I'm going donate only $100 $500 can you possibly do with $500 not $5 $10 what could you possibly do I'm not even going to donate they figured so little I shouldn't even do anything truth is if they had they also wouldn't do anything they wouldn't do anything either way why because first and foremost giving has nothing to do with the quantity when you give of yourself because you want to give you don't think about oh I'm only going to give of myself because I have a lot no I'm going to give myself because cuz I care about something I want to whether it's a lot or a little it's what I have but at least I'm trying that's why every single organization on planet Earth that collects charity the overwhelming majority of their donations what's paying their bills is coming from people that are middle lower class closer to lower class than middle poor people donate a lot more money than rich people percentage wise and generally speaking they also donate more frequently rich people they have to be in a mood they have to get a certain amount of respect certain amount of time certain amount of attention everything is like a menu you order in the restaurant if everything fits they'll pay if it doesn't fit all of a sudden they're not hungry so a person thinks well if I had a lot then I would donate a lot if I have a little donate little I won't donate nothing right I keep it I'm losing M says the opposite say if a person sees that his needs are they've gone lower he's he's losing money literally he could barely finish the week that's the time you should givea that's the time you lost 30% of your portfolio in the last couple of months right now is the time to give staka you lost 50% even more so you lost 90% even more so why it doesn't make any sense logically if you came to me when I was still on Wall Street you told me this advice I tell you listen you should go to a new Financial School learn about Finance because everything you're saying is against the logic and against every Financial book in the history of mankind it doesn't make any sense you losing and now you're going to give charity why you make a lot you give and the truth is the explains it further it says there's benefits there's benefits to giving what are the benefits of giving says what do we learn from this verse says this verse says that you should give and if you give then it they shall be Shor off and they shall pass away so is says whoever she ISS some of his possessions and devotes it to takaka is is saved from the Judgment of Gom and he says it's like an analogy where there was two sheep walking walking walking and then they see is a river and the river is running you know it's like one of those rivers that right around the corner there's a waterfall so the river is running fast but they want to get to the other side so what are we going to do we can't jump over it got to go walk through it says one of the sheep the wool was Shor off you know his balab the owner took his wool made it into a sweater the other guy ran away before they took off his wool but they both went into the river is says the one without the wool the one that Shore off his wool he made it to the other side the one with the wool didn't make it to the other side he says that's like a person that gave staka a person that gave takaka that took off from his took off from his before the Judgment day before the big day he's going to make it to the other side why he took the necessary step so now we know it's good to give but we still don't have an explanation of why it's good to give after I lost you could say it's good to give so it's instead of going again home fantastic now of course it's not just give and continue being a continue being a continue going with continue e no no you can't just give and buy yourself into you have to do CH that's why it says is what's going to make the the decree go away you have to do all three can't just do one of them I say I just give a million dollars I can just continue driving on Shabbat and EA Pig for lunch no you have to do complete Chua the question is not about whether it's good or not to give we know it's good to give it's good to give the more you give the more you feel you have and now you're telling me that me giving is also going to take away some of the crimes that I made and I won't have to go to gay on for them fantastic but I still don't understand why it's good to give after I lost I still don't understand why it's good to go teach when the big rabbis are not teaching I still don't understand that you have I don't know 50 100 200 sit here South Florida full of Jews full of how many of them actually have like this if you can count it and complete a single hand I'll give you a cookie most people if they go to beess at all during the week they go they pray they leave maybe there's a the rabbi is there so people sit down with them eat some cookies listen to what he has to say talk between each other how many serious that are actually inspiring the community to get better very very few and even if there is it's not often how many of them are inviting strong speakers to come speak to very very few if ever why ask them why what we're asking today our suya is why is it that we have to teach we have to set this up we have to do all of these different things when nobody else is doing why is it that when we lose money we have to go give staka shouldn't it be the opposite logic says it does and if you ask this question of why then you're in good company because one of the greatest in history also asked the same question why did the sages teach us that we should teach and we should give after a big loss he writes it in a couple of his in and also inph excuse me and he says even further he says what is the logic behind saying to give money thear says when a person is barely making ends meat are the Torah sages here to abuse people isn't it enough that the people are lacking the basic needs and barely have what to eat now they're expected to give staka from the little that they have left to live off of and leave themselves with nothing to live on this is really what we were thinking what are these sages these trying to be vicious if you told me make money give money obvious okay person thank you very much for telling me but it's it's common sense you're tell me the opposite you're tell me after I lost give says what here to abuse us are the here to make things more difficult for us he has the answer to though and the answer is extraordinary anyone that pays attention to this answer and knows how to apply it to their life I guarantee that your next year will not be the same like any other year of your life your life will never be the same says the Torah is teaching us the right path of God may his name be blessed when a person puts his confidence in anything that he's benefiting from this world he's showing as if this thing has the power to do the will of God may he be blessed and from that point on this causes the Heavenly sustenance that's coming from that thing to stop meaning that the minute you think the president the bank account your friend your boss your stock portfolio your job your wife your kids your neighbor your associate your lawyer your accountant whatever it is the second you think that's the Salvation that's where it's coming from the lawyer is going to save me my boss is going to save me my partner is going to save me my bank account's going to save me my this is going to save me that's the Salvation the second you do that the Salvation will no longer come from there why why is that the case because the second the person thinks that the money the friend the president the the boss whoever whatever it is that thing has power to bring you salvation of God that second the real salvation from God stops coming from that thing and this is what I learned from my rebi the who was the tal the number one talid of the bov who commented on the p in the Book of Genesis seph chapter 36: 32-39 where repeats the words several times you see meaning he became king and he died became king died became king died there's seven verses over here constantly talks about this guy became king then he died this guy became king then he died this guy became king then he died so the Tau what this means what does it mean why doesm tell us about all these kings that were Kings and then died and kings that they died what can we learn from this he says because a person that puts his his confidence into something is actually making that thing a king over himself you think that your bank account your lawyer your doctor your wife your husband your kids your boss your job your intellect your whatever is going to be the Salvation you've made that thing into a king over you you've crowned that thing over yourself your God is now the money the job the wife the kids the Investment Portfolio the IRS the banks whatever it is that you give confidence to and thereby the the confidence in hasem is lost because you put your confidence in something else you put your confidence in your bank account you put your confidence in your boss you put your confidence in your car and your intellect and whatever it is that you put your confidence in because oh I I have the money to buy so that's what's going to help me that second that second that you think oh that's what's going to help you the the the confidence the faith that you have in hem disappeared why because you're now your confidence your faith is not in hm anymore it's in his check that you just got it's in his bank account it's in his stock that you just picked it's in the boss it's in whatever it is that you are you think that's where the Salvation is coming from so the is lost and therefore the that gave that person from that thing is taken away from him and this is why it says that it will die you made a crown you made it a crown like a king and therefore he died you made this Tak into a king So killed it only put in alone and double check your actions that you don't put any faith in anything else as if it has powers of hashem's Salvation And if a person thinks this way then he will connect everything that's around them to the Creator and therefore the sages teach us that when a person sees that his money Provisions are measured they're going down like it says in the page 7A the right step is to givea at that time because sharing in generosity of the heart show that the person doesn't have any faith in the money itself but rather in so you see the sages are telling you listen the reason why you lost the money is not because it's a bad investment the reason why you don't have enough money to make ends meat is not because you have a bad job it's because you put your confidence in something other than God so God took away the money from that thing now you want to show God that you did CH the little that you have givea why because once you I changed I'm a whole changed person you took away 99% of what I have I have $5,000 left I'm giving it to a against the better judgment of Wall Street against the better judgment of every Finance book known to man against my own logic against everything I'm giving it away whyem I want to show you I know the money is not going to save me only you will save me and it's actually a person I know that did exactly that and the beautiful thing is when a person does something like that he will see or she will see changes in their life that are beyond the imagination because once a person crowns God as his King nothing can ever get in between them but so long as a person has a crown on his bank account on his boss on his supervisor on something else says he doesn't even know I exist so he has to remind the person hey it's me I'm here I'm your ABA I'm your king I'm your somebody pay attention to me oh you're not paying attention Okay let me take away that thing that you're paying attention to what that King that bank account let me take that away that motorcycle let me take it away that car let me take it away whatever you made King I'm going to take it away well I'm going to kill all those kings Until you realize I'm the only real king so the sages what are they teaching us you want to show who the king is that's what you do show I don't have any other kings I have you that's all I have so while it's against logic that's only the logic of flesh and blood when a person uses the logic of the sages he realizes that this is the logic of a himself and when a person turns money into an objective rather than a tool this is exactly a person says I want to get this job I want to be a lawyer I want to be a doctor why do you want to be a lawyer why do you want to be a doctor do you have any particular interest in case law do you do you have any interest in medicine no no I just want to make a lot of money oh so you don't actually care if you're going to be a doctor or a lawyer you're going to win cases kill people lose it doesn't make a difference you just want to make a lot of money so money is your god that's who has the crown you're in danger unfortunately the vast majority of people when they look at what they want to do with their life they're looking at it from a monetary perspective it's not that they want to do something because they have an interest in that something is they just want the outcome of it it they want the money that they assume they're going to get if they do XYZ and they turn money into this is the objective of life this is the purpose of life they lose themselves they forget their days they forget their nice they forget their family they forget their kids they forget everything because they think that as long as they don't have enough money they don't have enough life and they don't realize that what ends up happening is they lose Life as a result of it because they've crowned a foreign God and they've turned money into a king and that's why says you made it into a king I'm going to have to kill it now this is why the sages say that anyone that kisses up to to Wicked people ends up in their hands when I told you earlier today that there are many that are going to raise a lot of money during this time of the year and so on people donate a lot of money one of the biggest problems that many of the kot face is that there's a lot of new faces during this time of the year that show up to the sh and many times those people don't keep Shabbat don't keep MIT but they have some of the tradition and they do exactly like we did for most of our life they go to SCH during the holidays and they want to feel like they're part of the K they also want to show people that they're successful and they donate money now if they simply donated the money and stayed seated that would be perfectly fine but the problem is that many times they're buying alot of the Tor and if they're one of the primary people that's going up to the Torah and they're not keeping Shabbat you're not allowed to give them if they say kadish you're not all to say Amen if Shabbat says kadish you're not allowed to say Amen because according to according to rat Chapter 30 is considered an idol worshiper says a person like that says a you're not allowed to say Amen that amen that you're saying is a sin so when these people go up to the Tor and they make a blessing on behalf of the community behalf of the K that they are up at no one's allowed to say am in but how you going to tell the guy you're not allowed to have alah he just paid 10 20 30 50 $100,000 for it so unless the rabbi is a real hero a real he's letting everybody up oh go up next next next as long as the check clears so it's a very serious problem and many times people know in the community that this guy donates said he's a and they still don't care why because they want the money and that's why the outcome of many of those K is usually not very good many people in the community become less observant over time not more observant the respect for the rabbi deteriorates over time not increases the money is not used for good purposes it's wasted much of the time meaning that while people try to justify taking the money for the better good it ends up being for the worse of the community for the worse of the rabbi for the worst of everybody and even for the worst of the person that donated it because the person that donated if anybody thinks that a person that's donating money is going to get rewarded for it you have no concept of what Tora is that person that's donating the money will get punished with his money he will get punished for that Stu he will not he will not get rewarded for it unless he does Chu if he does Chua he'll get rewarded for it if he doesn't do Chua he'll get punished for that for that money and this is one of the things that people don't have a concept of until you read the beautiful words of the I had the Merit to learn a little bit of in the of last week anyone that wants to look into it is more than welcome to because once you lurk once you look at this you can never look at the toora the same way because if he said what he wrote in any betet today they throw him out but this is he's one of only a handful of people in history that's called a says something there's no debate there's no debate in last week's par everyone that read it read about all of the curses the horrible things that happen to people that go against Hashem all these horrible things person that goes against the T person that commits all types of crimes horrible things but in the section of the blessings in the beginning of the that's where comments and he says the following in beginning of the in chapter 26 it says says that you shall take of the first of every fruit fruit of the ground that you bring from your land that Hashem your God gives you and you shall put it in a basket and you shall go to the place that Hashem your God will choose to rest his name there meaning if you're righteous you follow all the Torah you'll have benefit you'll have fruits you have this you'll have that and you'll in essence be like a person walking around you'll have this basket you'll be able to bring it to the BET mikdash as one of the sacrifices so on this word b the basket oh comments when it says and you shall put it in a basket it's hinting that in order for one's MIT to be accepted in sh all the good deeds that he performed must be in accordance with the words of the sages as it says in chapter 17: 11 of this par of this Torah that according to the teachings that they shall teach you and according to to the judgments that they shall say to you is that's how shall you do now the sages explain their teachings and laws in 60 tractates of the mishna and the which is the same as the numerical value of the word ten basket thus the phrase and you shall put it in a basket is teaching us that the mitv that a person brings with him to the upper world must follow the dictates of the oral law for otherwise even if a person does all of the mitv in this world he does all of the mitv not not doesn't do we're in a section of blessings even if a person does all of the mitv in this world they will not be accepted rather he will be burned in G with the mitv that he performed unlike the teachings of the sages it will all go to waste meaning a person that simply thinks I'm going to do the way I understand them I'm going to live life to the best of my abilities says everything you're doing if it's not the way that the sages taught it you'll get punished with all of them you'll get burned with all of them meaning don't think that just because you're trying you know to the best of your abilities today not really that it's enough it's not enough and in fact some of the say why does the mention the 60 tractates of the and Mish they said because he has to learn all of them in order to know how to do now your average person is not even learning and if he learns it's he learns a and if he learns a little bit more maybe he's learning and we started a program in during the last event that we said listen we want people to complete the shots in a single year and people think we're looking for geniuses no we're just looking for people that have a few hours a day to learn serious toah a few people that could put their phone away the TV away the distractions away for several hours a day you complete the in a single year person says yeah listen my Russa doesn't agree with that it's too fast it's too this it's to that okay so you'll finish the sh and G maybe you'll never finish it and one of the wars that we have is with people that think it's just either not possible or it's not good to do it all types of other things because there is a different way that they think is better where they learn instead of the entire sh in one year maybe one an entire year meaning that by the time they finish the sh it's going to be the year 177,000 so a person doesn't think what I have to finish the sh least thing no I'll be jew I'll keep Shabbat I won't kill anybody I'll give some stocka it's enough it's not enough is a very very big obligation now of course is not looking to prosecute against his kids everybody has to be at their level but don't think that you're allowed to stay and remain at the same level for the rest of your life just like a baby is cute when he starts walking and he falls on his tushi anyone that hasn't had a kid the first time you see this it's literally the greatest reason in the world to live to see a cute little kid stand up for the first time take one step and fall It's the funniest cutest thing in the world especially when it's you're a kid cuz you're just excited you stood up you thought the kid's never going to get up and now he's up and even took a step and he fell it's so funny it's so cute right now a little time passes maybe a week a month whatever it is depending on how fast he or she develops it's more than a step 2 3 4 5 10 15 Steps then they fall and it's still really cute you know when it's not cute if he's 20 years old and he's still falling because that means he's drunk he's high he's a loser there's something wrong it's not normal for him to fall for no reason there's nothing cute about it so you see if you're just starting out you just started keeping Shabbat you just started protecting your breed you just left your Goya boyfriend or girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever it is whatever you are whatever it is it doesn't make a difference about where you're supposed to be it's where you need to be right now you need to start keeping stuff you need to start keeping as much as you can now start keeping Shabbat start learning a little bit of time I started with 15 minutes a day little by little got more but you got to keep growing you can't stay a baby forever you have to understand that if you're alive that means Hashem wants more from you you're not alive because you fulfilled your obligation and Hashem just likes to have you parked in this world you're here because you still have a debt to pay and if you're not growing you're not living so yeah it may seem like a lot for some people oh to finish the Shas I don't even know what theas is how could I finish something I don't know what it is and then once I show them all the books I tell them there's 60 of these books like wait you want me to read all that stuff or is there like a video I could watch I could just summarize everything is there like a sh for dummies is that like a short version maybe like a one minute clip that I could watch with some like you know like bombs and stuff going music you know like your movies Rabbi you know you make like the shot in a movie what I have to learn all that stuff in the beginning you can't even get your head around it what do you mean I have to finish all that thing I remember one time I was in in New York and I was talking to some guy that I knew from childhood this kid uh this guy's 40 something years old now he not a kid his name was Jonathan and he came by and he saw the books and the book that he saw was my Kash and he picked it up he goes you you read this I said yeah go really like the whole thing I said you're supposed to read at least once a year goes no no really really you actually read this thing like he couldn't get his head around that I actually read a book and a bunch of times like it's just it's just not fa fathomable why it's just too big it's too big but the truth is all of you have to read this at least once a year at least once a year and Truth is at least twice because it's really three times per year says you have to read the weekly par twice and once with commentary that means each week you have to read the par three times that means you have to finish this book three times a year and once you've done that a few times it's not enough have to read some some some other commentary the list goes on and on and on but in the beginning oh take it easy just finish the par once keep Shabbat don't kill anybody stop stealing so don't think about oh this is too big for me no one's expecting you to finish everything today but at the same token stop fooling yourself into thinking you're doing enough if you're going to show up at the Judgment Day in a few days from now and think I'm doing good why I just donated 6 12 15 $50,000 whatever it is I'm good you're dreaming the goal of a Jew and needless to say the goal of a human being is to continue serving his creator even more every day hence the reason why K is leaving you in this world now if you don't get the point then aadh has to tell you and since you're not mosu or or even the dust under their feet and neither am I is not going to speak to you in simple language he's going to speak to you in other ways the bank account goes down the marriage goes down the problems go up that's how he speaks and say why is he speaking to me through this way says he speaks to you in those ways because those are the ways that you need to fix meaning if you have a pain in your arm it's because you made a sin with your arm if you have a pain in your head that means because you made a sin with your head if you may if you have a pain in your pocket because you lost money that means because you made a sin with money whatever pain you have that's where the sin is that's what you have to fix don't think listen I lost money because I don't think I was really nice to my wife although that may hurt your marriage and you may end up losing half your money or more it's not the reason why took the money right now perhaps think a little closer to money maybe you're spending wrongly you're doing this you're doing that think about why give you money in the first place so a person has to think wait why do I have a headache what do you spend your head doing what what do you spend what do you spend what's on your mind if you have spam in your mind you have uh pornography in your mind you have filth in your mind you're lucky you still have a head oh why does my arm hurt what do you do with your arm did you steal did you hit somebody what do you do with your arm so anytime a person has any type of pain gives us a secret that's exactly what you have to fix that's what you have to fix that's what you have to fix this by the way is a side note is why sexually transmitted diseases ran rampant during the 1980s but today the most horrific thing in the world is cancer in the same reproductive areas breast cancer and cancer in in the area of reproduction is the most common form of cancer for both males and females and it's also the most lethal why virtually you won't find a single one of them didn't sin with that part of their body and I don't mean just sin once in their life I mean on a daily basis and that's the reason why made that particular part of the body caused so much anguish to the world it's not because he wants to bring anguish to the world is because he's trying to tell people that's what you have to fix stop being so promiscuous stop acting like some zoo animal but unfortunately people are not getting the message and the leaders are not telling them the message either because they don't know or they're scared of them and people continue to lose family members friends and all types of possessions without a clue of why and what to do about it this is one of the greatest things that aadh gave us R sh because R is a time where it's in essence a reminder that you are responsible for you and you have to fix you and if you look at the real you and not the you that people see and not the you that's in your imagination but the real you and who you are in comparison to what wants sure early you will find something to fix and if you take this into your life start working on it you'll see changes but always remember that yes it's good to give Saka it's good to do a lot of good things but don't turn any of that into a new God staka is a tool that's part of chuva and prayer prayer is a tool that's part of the set that comes with chuva and staka chuva cannot be completed if you're not charitable both with your prayers as well as with youra meaning it all comes together as long as a person is too stingy to give from himself they haven't started to get to where they need to be as far as their chuva but at the same token a person needs to know that one of those things is not enough so this time of the year is a time where a person needs to reflect where am I going with this life what is my point why am I here where will I be 10 years from now and don't start telling me no I'm going to be a doctor I'm going to be a lawyer I'm going to be an astronaut I'm going to be an alien I'm going to be a YouTuber these are things that first of all not within your control and two they're not really you they're just something you do and the things you do change over time when you're young you think that whatever you're going to get into is going to be where you're going to end up you think that if you're going to start being a doctor you'll be a doctor when you're 80 years old you start as a wall streer you'll be a wall streer when you're 100 years old not only assuming that the career you started and what you learned in college is what you're going to end up doing but also assuming you have such a long life and the longer you live the more you realize how diluted you were when you were 20 years old your career changed your aspirations changed nine out of 10 times you're not even using all the things that you learned in school and you ended up doing something completely different and more times than not life is very very different than you thought it was so a person has to use as an opportunity to reflect on his or her life to check their own pulse their own spiritual pulse where do I stand and if I continue this path will I improve or deteriorate over time did my lack of observing Shabbat and kosher help me in my life or hurt me did my stealing in business help me in Life or hurt me did my being you know dishonest to My Wife and Kids help me or hurt me did all of the things that Hashem says is bad did they help me or hurt me some people say I was born homosexual so that's why I'm this way yeah but God says it's not allowed yeah but God created me this way he created you with a brain he created you with eyes he created you with a lot of different things he created you with certain hormones he created you with desires just because you have all of those things doesn't mean that they they have to go you have to use them against God you have to learn how to control yourself and a person that thinks that they're allowed to do whatever they want because they have a certain desire the difference between them and an animal in the zoo in Israel or America is zero in fact the animal is usually more obedient so a person needs to know that all of those desires all of those deformities that we have spiritually are things that a person needs to learn how to fix and yes it takes time and effort and but that's what it matters that's why you're here that's why the Sab said that a person needs to know that those pretty horns that the deer has end up becoming a burden more than anything else and if a person doesn't see it as a burden he thinks that this type of Life of promiscuity of freefor all type of mentality is good just give that person time and they'll end up living a life full of regret you see all of these people that allow themselves to do whatever they want whether they're in Hollywood or in a business world one after another you see each one of them fall into a light full of Crisis so they may have money or fame or whatever it is but many times when you actually learn about their life no one wants their life who wants the life of a person that became famous due to their promiscuity being shown un films the kids come home to say hello to their mother with their friends and the friend says wait I think I saw your mom in a film who wants that who wants to who wants to have such a life who wants such a life where a person made money in a dishonest way and one day his daughter wants to get married to somebody and the parents meet each other and wait the parents like wait a minute your father looks familiar to me oh wait you stole my money who wants that life who wants that life at some point or another a make sure that whatever evil a person did in his life that's against the Torah has to be exposed to society so it looks like they're winning in the beginning cuz they have the fast cars and the house and the fame and whatever comes with evil but push comes to shove the bill has to get paid the decree is passed the Cobra comes he has to kill somebody and although a person never thinks it's them because last time it wasn't them it wasn't because it wasn't you weren't guilty it just wasn't your turn so a smart person sees life sees what will be born out of it these actions what is he doing what will come out of it right now he's cheating in business what's will come out of it oh no I'm going to stop cheating I'm going to stop selling uh Coke or whatever uh fenol or all types of other filth and poison that people are selling to society today I was going to make some money and then I'm going to go into a legit business you think is going to let that happen is going to let you murder a bunch of people steal from a bunch of people ruin a bunch of people's lives and you're just going to have a Rosy life what kind of God do you believe in a puppy it doesn't work that way you can't just ruin people's lives and is going to let you go to heaven doesn't work that way he's a righteous God righteous God means he delivers punishment that's what it means so a person has to understand that whatever you're doing if you really think about it what's going to come out of it if it's not the will of God 10 out of 10 times bad will come out of it it's just a matter of time so this is why I recommend to everybody over these next few days spend some time reflecting where you stand with everything that you're doing the marriage that you're in how you are a parent how you are a husband or a wife how you are an employee or a boss how you are a member of the community how you a member of as a son or a daughter of God where you stand with everything start looking at things where can I improve stuff pick the easy stuff don't pick the hard stuff yet start with easy stuff what can you do now right away and hold on to it and keep going and then build on top of that don't go and climb Mount Everest tomorrow it's too big start somewhere start with something small build from there but keep going don't stay a baby next year too meaning the next time you're at r if Hashem allows that to happen don't be the same version of you then that you are now be a completely different person now you're going to need as many tools as possible to help fuel that that's where CH and come in you see chuva is an ongoing everyday uh process is something we're obligated to do every day as well is as often as possible if you're giving the kind that doesn't hurt you're not giving enough it's supposed to hurt it's supposed to bankrupt you but it's supposed to hurt cuz you're supposed to be giving something of yourself like someone is donating a kid it's not a pleasing process but the outcome is someone else has a life so now a person says listen can I just start with just learning the weekly par and learning sh yes you can but don't think for a moment it's enough it's good for now it's not enough you still have to make up for the stuff that you're missing not in the future now meaning that if you can't learn all the Torah that you're supposed to learn you have to pay for it you have to do something about it if you could give money to an to help him learn that will help you in fact the says that a person that invested money in people that are learning T whatever they learn is what he's going to know in so a person could literally complete the sh a thousand times a year a million times a year if you simply invest into it same thing with mitv sometimes people say listen I don't have the opportunity to do all of these mitv I either don't know him yet or I haven't learned about him yet or I haven't gotten a chance to do it yet this is why you have to invest into kiru because you may be able to do a certain amount of mitv a certain amount of blessings every single day but if you have another 10 20 50 100 people that have done cha because of the money that you donated that all of their mitv all of their learning all of what they do goes to your account too so a person sees wait a minute maybe by myself I can't do everything that I'm responsible for today and maybe ever but I could still do it I can still fulfill it by using the other tools that hasm gave me but as long as a person thinks that they're here to acquire stuff they're never going to get to that point they're never going to get to the point of thinking clearly of what their responsibility is in this world now the last thing I want to tell you is that whenever a person hears speeches typically the speeches that you hear today are feel-good speeches you hear somebody the goost to inspire you to either stay the same or that you're a wonderful person or or there's a little bit more mental stimulation rarely will you come out of a speech realizing that you have a lot of work to do to fix yourself but that's the goal of today's speech that's really supposed to be the goal of every single speech that you're supposed to learn you're supposed to leave that shield with a acknowledgment that you have more to do anytime you hear somebody telling you that you're perfectly fine run away why because they're trying to kill you now in the business world no one goes to a business meeting or a business speech just to hear that they're perfectly fine you know they have these commercials online and uh there's a famous speaker Tony Robbins he's very famous people love him even though he's a missionary in disguise and a lot of people go to his speeches and he made a fortune doing it and he's a good speaker and also a good businessman but one thing that you'll see is that he doesn't tell anybody that they're perfectly fine in fact he tells everybody that they have to do more and he tries to empower them to do more he doesn't tell anybody that they're perfectly fine the way they are just stay the same you're good you're perfect you're doing enough the goal of spending 51 $20,000 to go to one of his events is to go hear that you're not good certainly not good enough but you can be and that's the same thing with any other speaker motivator business topic you go to continuing education seminars for for for law for for medicine for uh Securities as far as Investments what are they teaching you new stuff so not supposed to be the same stuff that you already know no one is supposed to tell you listen come here just fill up you know make the CH chair warm and because you're perfectly fine already you're supposed to continue growing and it's acceptable and in fact if you go to an event especially if you have to fly and spend a lot of time and money to do it and you don't learn anything you don't gain anything from it you're going to be the most unhappy customer in the world why cuz I only came here because I want to grow only in the world world of Tora has the fooled Society to think that you're not supposed to grow as a result of a sh where in fact this is the only place you're supposed to grow you're supposed to listen to every single sheld and at the end of that sh at the end of that lecture that speech you are supposed to not just gain knowledge not just gain motivation and inspiration but also gain an understanding and a clarification that you are not doing enough and you must do more not you should do more you must do more that is the point of every single but unfortunately the has fooled Society into thinking that if the speaker is a strong speaker don't listen to him go listen to some puppy some Care Bear that's going to tell you that you're perfectly fine you are just a righteous person and God loves you anyway the truth is the opposite and I'll give you two proofs one from the toah one from the sages and then we'll finish the night and you guys could ask me as many questions as you want if you were perfectly fine and there will be no issue whatsoever in telling you that you're perfectly fine how could the Torah tell us about all of these punishments happening to the people that have forsaken the fear of God anytime that the Torah says forsaking God not being close enough to God not believing in God Uno says that is simply lowering fear of Heaven to the point of non-existence where a person doesn't have fear of heaven doesn't have fear of God so much so that the Torah itself says in last week's in 28 verse translation and it will be that just as Hashem rejoiced over you to benefit you and multiply you so Hashem will cause them to Rejoice over you and to make you perish and to destroy you and you will be torn from upon the ground which you have entered which you enter to take possession of it here the Torah tells us if a person goes against God our nation goes against God just like Hashem celebrated and rejoiced with our forefathers that they're the greatest they're the best they're amazing their righteous Hashem will cause the Nations to Rejoice over the destru C of the people because that's a punishment but Rashi says Ando says the same thing if you actually look at the verses it doesn't say that if you look at the actual verse it says it doesn't say that the Nations Will Rejoice over our destruction it actually says that God will rejoice over our destruction God will be happy over destroying his own kids how can you be perfectly fine and yet God has a verse in the Torah where he says I will dance around because I'm hurting you explain obviously God loves us why would he be happy to destroy us says because just like rejoicing over their mitv is good for them punishing them is also good for them it's all for the the greater good that's beyond our comprehension the point being is that does not want to Rejoice us that want to destroy usom but he has so many threats here in his Torah that in this week's he says that anyone does not take heart does not do chba and simply says or even thinks in his heart peace will be with me when I go as I dictate by the sentiment of my heart meaning he sees people are dying from some plague Corona cancer whatever it is he sees people are getting divorced he sees people are suffering he hears a sh it says you have to do CH and he says to himself nah all those punishments are not going to happen to me I'm good this week's says will not forgive that person and in fact Ono says all of his unintentional sins turn into intentional sins meaning all the things that Hashem was originally going to just simply Let It Go or minor you know minor punishment now they turn into the worst sins that exist why you don't care about yourself you don't care about your own why should hm care about it so Hashem did not write this for people that are illiterate Hashem did not write this for people that don't want to do that don't want the Torah or people that just want the Torah he wrote it for everybody and he wrote it for us to learn it but unfortunately today many times when a person listens to a shoe on online or in person he's not going to hear many of these things he's going to many times he going to skip this part and people prefer that type of speech they prefer or at least they think they prefer someone that's going to speak kindly and tell them that they're perfectly fine not just today throughout all of history in peric gim the third peric the fourth Al a story about two great rabbis that eventually combin into a single event R was theor and the rabbi of a place called Tori one one day there is a uh plague Corona virus people are dying in the streets all over the place except the people that are close to wherever he's in his in his neighborhood no one's dying but the city people are dying everywhere so they come to what kind of sadik are you what you're righteousness only protects the people that are living in your community rest of us are dying over here calls the entire city come we have a speech a shoe we to address this complaint complain about the sadik complain about the big Rabbi have to address this says to the people all of them are in front of him countless people he says at the time of mosenu there was one rash named z one Zim yet that Zim's action of going with that Goya caused 24,000 Jews to die and nearly the entire nation was killed and even though they had mosenu that wasn't enough to protect them from that one Z he says here in this crowd look how many we have how many of you are married to non-jews how many of you are cheating on your wives how many of you are violating Shabbat how many of you are stealing in your business how many of you are going against and you have the audacity to complain that you don't have protection mosu couldn't protect one against one rash look how many rash are here they didn't like that speech a short while later in a different city north over there they had a different anyone that heard my most of the information comes he was best friend with and the both of them there was a friends of his so in his place there was a drought no rain people came to the sadik please it hasn't rained in a long time without food crops oh okay sure sure he prayed moments later it started raining so the people from Tori the heard about this oh we like this Rabbi look at that he's not like our Rabbi the people came to him moments later it started raining prayed for them started raining we came to a rabba what did he do he yelled at us told us because we're married to non-jews because we eat non koser no no let's bring this other Raba he's much better for us look he Makes Miracles he makes rain come down how come over here it hasn't rained over here either so they invite him and even says yeah yeah boy you want to bring sure you think he's going to help you come come so they come and both and start taking on themselves fasting and suffering for the benefit of the community and praying for them what happens nothing no rain both come out and they say to all everybody over there say you see and R came and prayed and fasted and nothing happened why because he's not the one that controls the rain he do not the one that decides if it's going to rain or it's not going to rain and is not the one that decides to stop the rain because we both did everything and nothing happened hasm doesn't want it why why hasm doesn't want it how come it worked over there what all of his spiritual energy was wasted in his town he can't have it over here no it's because the people in the north have a soft heart they heard his words of M he told him they have to do chuva they said okay we're sorry Rabbi we'll do chuva we'll start fixing we'll start keeping we'll start doing everything as soon as saw oh look at that they're doing it they're listening to the let's bring them rain but the people ofori you have hearts of stone I told you guys words of Tor nothing change you complained instead of that why do you think should give you rain so you see a person needs to understand there's a lot of good things that you can do but you have to start somewhere the first step is to be realistic with where you stand wherever you stand needs to be improved if you're learning 2 hours Learn 4 hours if you're learning 15 minutes learn 30 minutes if you are praying uh you know short prayer Pray the long prayer if you're not keeping start keeping whatever you're doing do more and remember that just like the baby in the back will see him grow we'll see her grow next year and be walking and running around and causing more acute noise also wants to see us grow wants to see us grow too don't stay a baby each and every single one of us will have enough strength enough willpower and enough desire to do the will of hem starting now with that being said anyone ask questions everybody's mute today okay but say though I think I give you guys enough material to chew over if anyone wants uh anything personal anything I'm going to be over here we'll finish for tonight but I'll be here to answer any issues personal issues blessings whatever it is thank you again for coming each and every one of you will have a sh sh for anyone that is looking for a place to invest their spiritual money the money that's actually going to be there in we have a campaign online bh.org that's our R campaign we also have a y campaign the point of the campaign is to help people that are starving either spiritually or physically we have 3,000 people that signed up in for us to help them 3,000 families for us to help them uh financially in our recent event so we need a lot of money to do that anyone that wants to be involved can help uh also we have to help a lot of people just like you and me and everybody else that needs to learn more Tor so those that campaign is for those two purposes yes you have a question what the that book oh this is the altar of novardok alar of what alter of Nook I'll let you see it when you come in a second alter of Nook it's a relatively new book they have it in Hebrew they're in English it's a very very good book uh I I used to recommend and I still recommend uh a book called to remain a Jew which is a life story of Rabbi zilber this book is in essence like a 100 times that same book because Rabbi zil's book was about his personal life and his personal experience this is the experience of like many people and much more detail even in certain cases so it's both of them are extraordinary everybody should read both books but any time I find something good that I know is relevant to everybody I recommend it and this is a very very good book it has simply a a uh a reality that's very different than our life today especially people that are living here in America or in the West in general it's uh it's a very very different reality but uh I'm not wishing anyone bad or or or looking for bad to happen but quite frankly this is the past but it also looks like the future so it's good for people to know that they uh what's expected of them and uh what life can be like because there's a lot of wonderful things that hasm is giving us right now you know he's giving us freedom he's giving us uh you know access to information he's giving us a lot of things and if a person knows how to appreciate the gifts that hasm gave him uh then certainly they're going to live a better life for it yes why do we say it uh the during during right before this is the the last it's done in in actually not and the reason why it's done in it's a uh first of all the the the uh the V itself is the longest vid of the year it's a very long vdu and the majority of uh this Vu which is in essence saying I'm sorry for all types of crimes the majority of those crimes that are mentioned are sex crimes uh you know people that are you know person that did all types of things that are not allowed according to the Torah wasting seed cheating lying uh beastiality homosexuality and so on and so forth incest so this V is something that every Jew has to say uh and it's a very very long one and you know a person would think that the person that wrote it was like the biggest rash in the world like what is he what is he saying but in reality if a person understood the magnitude of of of the Holiness of not only but also of this V of this how much is in it it's very very important to have a lot of kav and the reason why the sages instituted for this to be done during is uh due to the fact that uh number one m is the uh use the a very very big time to pray this we learned that fromi when he had the whole uh battle against he prayed to the the famous part in uh in the T during uh there's a special Gate of Heaven that's open during that time for prayer but the second reason is more logistically that a lot of people during uh yum Kip don't show up to aess in the morning so because the wanted to make sure that everybody does this V they made sure to put it in the afternoon and even late afternoon because that's usually when everybody's there because this is a very very important uh part of uh of chuva is to First and foremost understand that you have to uh recognize sins for what they are and two say I'm sorry uh and uh I would highly recommend that people study that VII even before the holidays because you'll see that there's a lot of things that in there that some people don't even realize the sins that people are doing so it's a good V to say the least yeah anything else so um when you you said uh we should think about where we should be 10 years from now okay how should one start that without having to put like successful all these other things kind of divert to where would I be in Tor to make to make goals if a person learns tah the more T they learn the more they realize what's in their control and what's not in their control most people think the opposite of the truth naturally meaning they think that their material uh possessions and aspirations and goals are in their hands but their spiritual aspirations and goals are not in their hands this is exactly the opposite of the truth whatever material whatever amount of money you are going to have is not in your control in any way shape or form Hashem will decide to give you or not to give you whether you are selling shoes or phones or cars or you are a doctor or a lawyer or you clean carpets or you make build cameras or you cut hair or you make dog food it doesn't really make a difference if hashm wants to make you successful he will make you successful if he wants to make you fail he will make you fail if he wants to make you into a billionaire that goes broke he'll do that if he wants to make you a poor person that's homeless that becomes a billionaire he can do that your material aspirations have nothing to do with your profession or your ability it has to do with whether hem decides to do that or not now you can influence that not because of your efforts but rather because of your spirituality your spirituality on the other ends as far as how you serve AEM how committed you are to his Torah how much you learn that is within your control so when people make their life go what do they do typically do I want to have a house in such and such neighborhood I want the house to have certain amount of bedrooms I want to have such and such car I want to have X amount of kids I want to have this wife or that husband and all these material possessions that actually are not in their control they're not in their it's not in your control if you're going to have enough money to buy this house that you want to buy it's not in your control to have this company who knows if your company's still going to be in business by then who knows if it's not going to be obsolete who knows if the government doesn't shut it down who knows if the building doesn't fall apart and get burned who knows all these things you don't know that stuff so to make all of these aspirations these checklist goal list all types of you know fantasy list of all the stuff that you want to have in the future it's like people that plan about what they're going to do with the winnings of theato before they bought a ticket it's the stupidest Endeavor in the world you don't even have the ticket and you're already thinking about how you going to spend the winning lotto numbers like it's the dumbest thing in the world it doesn't make any sense whatsoever at least have the ticket in your hand then you can say oh if I win then I'm going to buy this I'm buy that I'm going to give this I'm going to give that and all that doesn't pan out because you're don't going to win but anyway even if you do you're not going to do what you say you're going to do because you forgot it either way to make these lists of all the stuff that you want the building the house the car the money the the wife the kids all that stuff it's not in your hands anyway so the plan for it is stupid it's simply a waste of time on the other hand if you spend your time doing something like what's in your hands what's in your hands which is how you're going to live your life then that's something that's worthwhile why it's in your hands to decide what time to wake up in the morning that's in your hands you can decide to wake up early or be a loser and wake up at 12 you can decide you can decide whether you're going to be loyal to your husband or wife or not to be loyal that you can decide if you look at everything that walks like some type of uh water Fountain then surely your marriage will go into the garbage it's just a matter of time if you watch television you watch pornography you watch all types of shows that show immodesty and prostitution you will become part of that so your marriage and your life is going to go to the garbage but if you protect your eyes protect your body you don't go to certain places like people go then you are deciding to do that one woman told me listen how do I convince my boyfriend not to go to clubs anymore do you know what the answer is leave him that's how you convince him because he's not a boyfriend he's a rent a car today you're renting him tomorrow someone else is renting him if he goes to clubs for any reason he has multiple wives he just calls them girlfriends no one goes to clubs because of the music no one goes to clubs because they like to see their friends they're looking for someone to have fun with if you think he's loyal to you and he still goes to these clubs you need help so if you want to have a husband your husband cannot go to these clubs your husband cannot go to these uh you know card games and all types of things now if you want to be that husband that's in your control that's in your control you can decide to go or not to go to these places to play or not to play you could decide that's in your hands that's in your hands same concept with someone that finds themselves being angry or stingy or arrogant or or impatient or uh overly nervous or overly anxious and all types of things those things are within your control so you can decide to work on those things and say from now on I'm going to wake up at early hours why because I know that if I wake up early I achieve more during that day I now from now on I'm going to go to sleep early why because I know that from you know anytime I go to sleep late I wake up uh late and I end up having a not such a good day uh I'm going to be more generous but I know that just saying I'm going to be more generous is not going to be enough I have to be proactive about how every time I get a check automatically I take x amount of percentage out of that check and I give it away right away I'm not going to wait for the end of the month or the end of the year or for the end of the uh uh holiday I'm going to give it right away why because that's again being proactive about something same concept with a person when it comes to their business how you conduct your business to be nice to be honest that's your choice to be profitable is not your choice so if you're going to make a list make a list of things that are within your ability to control it's within your ability to control your mood it's within your ability to control your desires it's within your ability to control how you express yourself those things are within your control now if a person spends their time making a list of things they want to work on not just say I want to be a better husband good for you how how are you going to be a better husband well how can I be well what does she complain about usually the way to be a better husband is match it with what she complains about she complains that you are not clean become more neat she complains that you're lazy stop being lazy she complains you don't uh do this you don't do that fix it fix it usually if there's enough love in the house nobody complains when there's a lot of complains that's usually because there's lack of something else too so a person needs to know that they need to fix themselves but again it's it's a in a relationship it's a two-way street you can't just wait for the other person to fix themselves and then you're going to fix yourself everybody has to worry about themselves but also encourage the other person if possible second thing is with when it comes to work how you conduct your business how you are with business many people for some reason or another have gotten to the point where they become accustomed to cheat their customers I don't know why and how this happened but apparently it's become a norm that to cheat customers is what you're supposed to do promise them things that you cannot deliver in any way shape or form why because I need to make the sale overpromise and under deliver has become the business Norm in society oh this is the best product in the world you're right it's not even the best in the store and you know it but you want to make the sale cuz it'll pay you the most amount of commission so lying is something you have to work on stop lying yeah but if I don't lie then I won't make any sales who said whether you make a sale or don't make a sale that's in the hands of God but whether you lie or not that's in your hands that's in your hands so make the list of things that you can control make the list of the things you can control you control your attitude you control your desires you control the way you do things you control how you manage your time those things are within your control once you do that you'll see a lot better results and the things that you cannot control I know one person that just a few years ago literally did not have a single penny a single penny barely breaking even for for the month barely even having for the month I think you have to borrow money whatever it is in the last several years he made some money and gives a lot of staka how did theem decide to just make him give a lot of staka because even back then when he barely had anything to make you still like he he would be that guy that gives like $5 because you $10 you give five yeah but what can you possibly do with $5 nothing you can't do anything with $5 in America nothing I think gum is more expensive than $5 but that's not what counts in God's eyes that's 50% of what you have that's a big deal in practicality it's worth nothing you can't even help a homeless person get a house at $5 can't do nothing with $5 in a Jewish World you can't even feed them if they're go you could buy them a know value meal or something for like a dollar get one of these living pigs in a sandwich and for a dollar but a Jew what can you buy $5 nothing I think bomba is like $3 now like what are you going to do it five nothing but's eyes it's a big deal it's a ve very big deal why you gave half of you so this person in the last several years made certain things work gives a lot of money and I don't mean a lot of money oh he donates uh I don't know $50,000 $1,000 he gave like2 $3 million in the last couple years not to me to other things Fortune how decided to make this person and this is also coming along with learning T doing working on himself and so on and so forth so it's important for a person to know that when you do what you're supposed to do in accordance to what said with the things that are in your control you no longer need to make a to-do list a wish list uh whatever other list they have bucket list you don't need to make those lists why will give you exactly what you need and more give him a reason else usually I say no and then I'm about to go and then you guys say yeah yeah one last ones want to give you guys a little more time now good do you guys notice that only now the babies are quiet that's good at least give some action okay all right thank you again for for coming thank you again for learning with me each and every one of us we'll have a extraordinary and holidays we'll have uh some sh in between I'm not sure what the schedule is going to be because there's a lot of holidays a lot of learning needs to be done I have to also take on myself a lot more learning this year than in the past year and the past years because what can we do we have to keep growing so B we'll succeed anyone that wants to contribute anyone that wants to help with the co or with the all the other projects that we have it's on our line uh you know don't try to call me and tell me I want to talk to me about money I don't talk to people about money this is the most amount of effort that I use as far as to tell people about donations go to the Internet donate on the website or send a check that's the most I do I don't call people I don't have them call me I don't talk about it this is the most I do but again I want to remind you guys that this is the time where a person can do a lot a lot with a little and especially if a person has a lot then certainly they should give a lot amen amen okay second oh the ra raffle ra somebody has to take that job no raffle the rle my second job here my second

Land we saw extraordinary things there the beauty of the cotel the beauty of the land itself and of course the extraordinary beauty of theim a huge event where several thousand people showed up to honor the to alongside us and also here the wisdom of was what we started the uh trip with but along the next several weeks we got to meet many other spoke in many different places but nesset and we got to see some of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen in my life but one of the things that we did see that is not as exactly uh as exciting is the spiritual poverty that's in is in certain places places like Tel Aviv places that people are walking the streets without having a concept of what modesty is without having a concept of who the god of Israel is without even having a concept that the fact that they're stepping on Holy Ground these are our holy brothers and sisters that we've dedicated our life to help to get them closer to a and one of the things that we're doing in the United States in Australia in Canada in England and many other places around the world we've succeeded in doing it but one of the other things that we did see is also that there's a material poverty a material poverty is simply so abundant so so extraordinary that it breaks your heart we're sitting in our house when the next door neighbor uh that you know decided to pass by to say hello and while they were saying hello they asked us if we have any extra toys because they simply couldn't afford to buy their kids any toys of course my kids gave them their toys and we got to fulfill the mitvah but there are thousands upon thousands of these types of families families of families ofik that simply have poverty as a standard way of living these are the types of families that we've dedicated Our Lives to help as well over the last few years we've helped tens of thousands of people to feed them during the holidays to get them toys to get them clothes to get them beds to get them whatever we possibly can during this trip we also lost a very dear friend one of our partners in the distribution very dear friend of ours G ital that really dedicated her life to helping am is we're going to miss her but as a dedication to her as a dedication for cl and as another way to honor our we're continuing to do our food distribution as well as our spiritual distribution we need your help this time of the year is Yip sukot the high holidays these are the times where most people donate the most most of their money during this time of the year because they need the righteous judgment they need the good judgment they need to be blessed with a new child with financial success with a health Miracle with all types of issues and people know that the blessings of the MIM people that have dedicated their life to helping am Isel those blessings get a special VIP treatment in sham over the years we've had many people tell us how each and every single one of their blessings that they received from us was fulfilled during that year and as a result of their donations they got many many more folds of blessings than they could ever imagine please partner with us during this time of the year be generous and also be understanding that this is the time where every single one of us gets judged and every one of us needs a little help if we help aosh who's children spiritually and materially there is no doubt in my mind that aadh will also help us as well thank you very much for all of your support over the years mayem continue to bless you and we will all have a sh for for campaign campaign sh
