we're back here in Tor during our weekly
sh our stump Rabbi you guys ask
questions will give us the
answers uh tonight's sh will be uh for
for Leana
Leana sah
um D Mercedes eser
Bora
Elish Orit B
Elana um also uh David benri Doris
Bora Ben Aram Talia but
Sarah
ala
bka and also for
for elad
benis gab benis sha Ben
faran and all of is and especially all
of those wonderful people that help us
do everything that we do whether by
donating their time their money their
skill set all the things that uh require
M require self-sacrifice
because the uh person that's born in
this world
is simply born
selfish you know we uh we are not only
in a generation of selfish people we're
a species that's selfish everyone cares
about their
self-interest so when someone spends
either their hard-earned
money or their time uh or anything else
uh to help other Jews do chuva
especially if those Jews are not related
to him not related to her they don't
even know who they are and you're going
to invest money into there's really no
bigger bigger kindness that you can do
in this world than that simply
because although it's very nice gesture
and a nice CID to give somebody uh a
meal give them a job give them a lift
give them a you know some good advice
even a compliment all of that can count
asid but but every one of those things
has a clock connected to it where it
limits the value of that uh gift that
you're giving somebody you know even if
you uh save somebody's life from you
know going into a accident Shalom or you
Sav their life because of their skill
set and you're a doctor and you cure
their cancer or their Corona virus or
whatever it is truth is all you did is
just buy this person More Time by of
course
by and uh you bought him more life in
this world but if that
person is not going to
keep if he's in fact going to Du to you
buying him more time he's going to
violate the Torah he's going to steal
he's going to lie he's going to cheat
he's going to violate Shabbat he's going
to commit adultery and all of the
different things
that himself says are
forbidden in a very very strong language
where 12 times he mentions in the Torah
that someone that's a Shabbat has no
share of the world to
come
uh meaning that person is not going to
see heaven so if you buy somebody more
time to live and they're going to do
this with the remainder of their
life our teach us that it was better off
that he
died why less sins less sins would mean
that he would get less
punishment which means that if you
actually help another person do chuva
directly or
indirectly uh by giving them a CD or
sharing a link or donating money for
somebody else to do it in essence what
are you really doing
you're buying this person a ticket
to you're buying this person an
opportunity for an eternity of
good a gift that will never stop giving
uh a gift that is simply too valuable to
put a value
on uh I guess they call it
Priceless so when someone invest their
time and their money and their
everything into
helping there is no higher kindness than
that and that's why
the in when
the hear
the scary details of what will
happen and what will be at the time
before
mashiah they asked their
reos how can we be saved from
these birth pain of the
mashiah and thank you and
rabos the rabbi
of says to
them know the Torah follow the Torah but
in addition to that
do do overwhelm
kindness overwhelming kindness for For
The World At Large in order to get
yourself
protected from this growth pangs from
these birth pangs of mashia because a
has different rules that he gave himself
of how he runs the world and one of
those rules is called measure for
measure
mid so because you saved another
person's
eternity of Shame eternity of pain
eternity of Agony and
embarrassment by giving them a CD by
sharing a link with them by inviting
them to a by doing whatever it is that
you did in order to get this person to
recognize his creator or her
Creator because you did that the measure
for measure reward for that is not only
the reward of a
greater for yourself
an an additional 310 worlds in your
gedin but also a very special protection
in at a very very critical time that we
are living in called the era of
mashia
so that you're taking advantage of the
opportunity to help CL do Chua now what
does it really entail to do
chuva now of course you can say well
Torah says keep Shabbat okay Torah says
keep if you're married good Torah says
you have to keep all of the family
Purity laws which include even if you're
not married meaning that if you're not
married you're not allowed to be with
another woman and if you're a woman
you're not allowed to be with a man if
you're not
married why you're need if you're need
you know without being married you're
not allowed to go to the
mikve which means that every single
woman every single Jewish woman that is
single
unmarried is
nid and if she makes the
mistake of being intimate or even
hugging a another Jew she's not only
putting herself in a sinful situation
which which is a sin
itself but in addition to that
it's now this
is a very difficult test for many people
but anyone that wants to go to
ganen Simply says I have no choice I
want to go to
geden not just to geden after this world
but even the gun in this world I don't
want to make myself so impure that by
the time I get
married I don't understand what I
have you know many times you tell people
there's a enormous benefit to keeping
yourself pure before
marriage and it's hard for people to
understand because they say what's the
big
deal what's the big deal so I have a
girlfriend or two I have a boyfriend or
two what's the big deal once I get
married I'll be loyal to him I'll be
loyal to her
I didn't
uh decide to have 100 boyfriends or 100
girlfriends just had a little fun I
thought she was the
one but she ended up being the
three now I can speak until I'm blew in
the
face and only a few are going to hear it
and the reason why is because you have
to live it
and experience it and understand the
tragic situation that we're in in order
to really fully comprehend what I'm
about to
say you see the Western
Society is at
a put himself in a situation where you
have a better
chance of having a plane land straight
into your
face then
staying married past 5
years that's how low the chances are in
Western
Society meaning that the divorce rate is
so high right now over 80% generally and
in some places over
90% that it's easier to flip a coin in
the middle of your pool or lake five
times and more likely to get the coin to
land on the same side than to stay
married past those 5
years you don't believe me go flip some
coins we'll
see truth is the marriage situation in
the world today is a
tragedy when I was a kid
in if somebody smoked a cigarette
parents say don't hang out with him why
he's a bad
kid bad kid why he smoke cigarettes that
makes him a bad
kid whether you were right or wrong in
my days if you smoked a cigarette you're
a bad kid
today a 9-year-old smoking marijuana
with their
parents in my day wasn't too long
ago if you came from a broken
home your parents were divorced many
parents say don't hang out with them why
he comes his parents are divorced who
know what happened
there whether they're right or
wrong doesn't really make a
difference but we know that back then
divorce was
taboo wasn't the norm it wasn't a
standard why because people
struggled and overcame their struggle in
order to remain
married divorce was a last
resort wasn't something that was so
common today if you're married only
once past 5 years that's
uncommon 10 years
wow 20 years you're from a different
generation they didn't make so many like
you you look at your parents married 30
40 50
years they're from a different time they
might as well be a different
species divorce is no longer taboo you
tell somebody yeah I just got married
okay maal no no no Ma I'm getting
divorced now wait you said you got
married yeah yeah that was last month
this month I'm getting
divorced but it's good I kept the
business card of the rabbi so use the
same Rabbi for both maybe they'll give
me a group
discount truth is divorces no big deal
every day I get phone calls text
messages Rabbi help us we're about to
get
divorced truth is
by the time you came to me it's already
too
late try to help try to give some
guidance but many times by the time
people have decided to get a divorce
they've also decided that they gave up
on the relationship and if you're not
willing to invest into the relationship
there's nothing to
fix what does it mean to invest in the
relationship invest in yourself make
yourself a better person now if you
don't think there's anything for you to
be better in there nothing to talk about
but the point is is that today it's very
very normal to get a divorce it's very
normal
to go off the
D become non-religious even if you grew
Rel grew up
religious the things that were Taboo in
yester year are very very normal
today now as sad as that may
be it's simp simply because we don't
understand the value of hard
work of how in order for us to succeed
in anything in life we have to work hard
whether we want to succeed in being a
good chef and making a delicious dinner
or we want to succeed in being a good
husband or
wife and having a beautiful marriage or
we want to succeed in being a good son
or
daughter and fulfilling the Mitzvah of
honoring our parents all of these
require hard work
something very
rare in today's world of convenience and
instant
gratification
now if we
change we are better for it we learn
from the mistakes of Our
Generation and we become better for
it if we don't
your conquerors your destroyers are
within you meaning we are
self-destructing
now when it comes down
to doing Chua the first and most
important thing is that you need to know
that you need to change you need to
start keeping laws you didn't keep you
need to have a certain belief you didn't
didn't have and tris for everyone
whether you were from from
birth or you were grow up
secular whether
you whatever you are is for everyone no
matter where your starting point is
every single human being on earth needs
to do chuva that's why you're
alive but one of the frustrating things
of a new B Chua and a new balua doesn't
necessarily always mean newly Rel
religious because I have quite a few
students that but have been religious
their whole life though but they're why
because they weren't really religious
enough according to aem's definition of
religious they didn't have enough
according to aem's requirement didn't
have
enough according to hashem's
law because the
says has nothing but your
he has nothing in this world other
than may he have mercy on us and how
little we have to give
him
now the tough part of being newly
enlightened is that once you wake up you
open your eyes you see the world in a
completely different
perspective the first thing you you want
to do get people to join
you and there starts the
problem there's a famous story in a
philosophical
world even Plato used it to teach his
philosophy but we're going to use it for
Holiness and The Story Goes Like This a
group of
prisoners were all thrown into a cave
and a very very young age to the extent
where they did not know a life before
they entered the
cave very little light entered the cave
from the
outside and all they knew is what's in
this cave and they grew up and they had
a leader and they had followers and they
gathered their
food from within the cave and once in a
while someone from the outside would
sneak in
food and they just simply thought that
there is no outside world but rather the
food that snuck in is Just The Way of
the World it just happened it just
happened that a bunch of loaves of bread
appeared by this
rock every Tuesday
morning and they didn't really think
very much about there being an outside
world because their world was simply
Darkness their world was simply
limited and they didn't see anything
type of
possibility no nor did they have the
desire to exit the situation because
they didn't think there's anything
beyond the
rocks that are blocking the
entrance they didn't think that it was
an
entrance they simply thought it's the
same thing as the other
side as time would pass and everyone
would live their
life one of them
grew tired of the darkness it was
inspired to see is there something
Beyond this
darkness and he followed this tiny
little
light that seemed to start from a
certain point that's beyond his ability
to see but he wanted to track it and see
if there is something there and he
tracked the light and eventually he saw
that it's coming from a tiny little hole
between the separation of the big
boulder or big rock and some other
rocks he thought to himself what if I
remove some of these rocks will there be
more
light and he removed the rocks and he
saw that there was more light but to his
surprise there's also something beyond
the
light after much
effort anguish and pain
and a development of a few scars
even he exited the
cave and he got out to A Whole New World
where there was such a beautiful light
of the Sun that it made the previous
light that he had seem like it was
Darkness there was such a beautiful
world full of fruits and vegetables that
are made the worms and maggots and and
all types of creatures of the
ground seem filthy and disgusting next
to these juicy fruit that he's never
seen before the colors were so
beautiful that he couldn't believe that
he was living without them cuz
everything he saw was the same color
black and after tasting the fruit
enjoying
it enjoying the wonderful light the
beautiful enormous world that he now
discovered he know there's much more to
discover but yet it hurt
him that the people that he grew up with
the people that he was raised with the
people that he actually held
dearly was still in a darkness that they
knew no way out of because they knew
nothing Beyond
it and he decided to make the sacrifice
and break back into the
jail in hopes that he will
free his
friends after much effort Toyo and a few
more
scars he entered back the
cave saw his friends and was excited to
tell him about this new world he
discovered it has fruits it has
vegetables what's a veget
vable what's a
color well that's trees what's a
tree well it's a
sun are you cursing us no no it's a
light what's a light you mean the thing
that's right behind you a little thing
no it's not little it's huge it's
enormous it's beautiful what's beautiful
how can you tell the
difference and he tried to tell them in
all types of ways to no avail cuz no one
would even understand what he's saying
in fact they thought he was
crazy and he would just go from one
after another from one friend to another
from one friend to another and he told
the leader and he told the followers and
he told the men and he told the women
and he just told anyone he possibly
could to the extent where they found him
really
annoying and
decided we got to kill
him
why he's disturbing the
peace and he's
questioning our livelihood our
reality
now that's the
story and that's what they did they
killed
him in fact this was not a k by Plato
this is the story of am
is every one of the prophets that saw
the light of Hashem
spoke to hasem saw his words saw things
beyond the heavens whether it's or
yes or Zakaria or mosenu they all saw
the
light and they wanted to tell am is this
is the
light and the minute that this light
conflicted with their reality and
required them to change required to go
through a hole require them to go
through pain require them to do
something
unusual they mocked them they rejected
them they destroyed their name even
called mosenu an adulterer a
thief and they even murdered our
prophets with it's
Zacharia that his blood remained boil
boiling
for hundreds of
years or it's is that his own grandson
cut him into
pieces this too is the Battle of a new B
chva Because
surely you're changing your life because
you saw the
light but you're dealing with a
frustrating
reality because your peers your family
your friends your loved ones not only
are they not listening to you most of
the time but they actually think you're
crazy they actually think you're
fanatic they think you're
insane and you could relate to this
story as if it's
you only good part of the story is that
you're still
alive the good news
is this story is every B that wants to
help the better news
is is that Hashem runs the
world and when a person makes all of the
all of the effort that he or she can can
to help
doem rewards them one way or the
other now if a person is truly
interested in helping people do chuva
the first thing they should do is not
focus on their family and
friends but rather focus on am in
general because then you are putting
yourself in a position where you're
showing Hashem that you simply can't
care about him and his children even if
his children may not necessarily be your
best friend even if his children may not
necessarily be people you know but you
know him and as a token of your
appreciation for everything he's doing
for you has done for you will do for
you and as a fulfillment of
the that you love your brother like you
love
yourself you take the time and help
and you now put yourself in a
position where hasem has to reward
you with several things measure for
measure first
says the reward of aah is another
mitvah you help one person do you like
it guess what is going to send you more
people all of a sudden you're a
little all of a sudden you're a little
menu of your neighborhood all of a
sudden everyone's asking you for
everyone's asking you who's your Rabbi I
want to hear him
too why do you want to hear my Rabbi I
don't know I knew this girl for 10 years
and uh she wasn't religious until she
met you how come I want to be like that
why do you want to be like that I don't
know she looks happy now I saw her she
was cracked out for five years that I
knew her now she looks like a normal
human being she looks happy she just got
married I want to be married I want to
be happy
took a while to see the results but
nonetheless now that I see the results I
wanted to all of a sudden other people
going to come to you ask you for
blessings ask you what's what's your
secret you have more people come to you
that's
one reward for mitvah is another
mitvah he donated
money you donate for my T you donate for
my kids I'm GNA give you more money why
so you can give more money I'm going to
give you more money so you can give more
money H what a good deal
I'm going to give you more money so you
can give more money why because you gave
money when you didn't have a lot of
money well you had $100 you gave it so
I'm going to give you a thousand this
time yeah but I only gave a 100 yeah but
you showed me that you gave when you
didn't really have that much so
therefore I'm going to give you a lot so
you can give
more second thing is measure for
measure Tora says
that someone that causes the public
public to do CH sin does not come to his
hand and say commentary on that M says
how come the sin doesn't come to his end
says because as a measure for measure
way that hasem runs the world he cannot
allow such an injustice to happen where
the guy that made everybody or the girl
that made everyone go to geden isn't gay
herself for the sins
you made everybody do Chu but you're a
sinner so you go to G cannot be soem
gives such a person special protection
doesn't mean that they can't sin doesn't
mean that they don't sin but Hashem will
give people special protection special
privileges so much so that it's like
walking on
clouds in comparison to the rest of
society and one of the great benefits in
there is
that part of being geden is that you
want good things to happen not only for
yourself but perhaps for some people
that you care
about so if you cared about hashem's
children Hashem will also reward you
with measure for measure for caring
about the people that you care about and
do everything possible to give them
also a chance to do Chua itself even
without your direct effort why you
helped the other kids hasem says I'm
going to help your kids
too and the reward list
continues to No
Limit so much
so that the give all types of
descriptions of the
reward for someone that helps people do
Chua to the extent where they say that
even if someone
knew to like
mhu
likeu you compare
this to someone that helps people do CH
and there is no comparison why the guy
that helps other people do in a much
much higher yeah but the other guy
was the other guy was knew the whole tah
sh by
heart everything all the books every
book everything he knows by heart yeah
you're going to go to G don't worry
we're not going to put you in gay don't
worry we're
not but you cannot be like that guy you
cannot be like that girl why but they
know half the Tora that I
know yeah but they took hashem's
children out of G and they put them in
ganed is there such a thing that hasem
loves more than his
people is there such a thing that
hasem limits
himself to rescue his people no he wants
to do everything for his people and if
you want to be a partner with
him I'll help you with
it so when a person invest in such a
thing time effort money whatever it may
be they reward themselves in such ways
that is literally
unimaginable but you have to know in
order to succeed in kiru in helping
people do
cha self-sacrifice is the basic first
level
requirement you're going to have to
sacrifice everything the more you
sacrifice the more success you'll
have the more you limit your sacrifice
the more you're limiting your own
success you have to sacrifice your time
with your kids you have to sacrifice
your joy in the world you have to
sacrifice even sometimes your learning
of
to why you're
saving now it doesn't mean that you
don't learn and it doesn't mean you
don't spend time with your kids and it
doesn't mean that you don't do all these
other things but your life no
longer has the same Freedom that
everybody else has
why you are now in the business of
saving now why should you save is the
question aside from the reward that none
of us really are here to see
Yeta 310 worlds geden all that stuff is
great but how do
we
really
understand that we're saving people from
not just G know in the next world
punishment horror all that stuff but
actually
here
the Tor tells us in many
places
that when
a gave the Torah he wasn't making a
suggestion in fact he was making an
obligation in this week's
par says
everything that comes out of his mouth
he must
do this pertains to you when you make a
swear but needless to say pertains to
your creator who lives by his own rules
if he says something he'll do it if he
says that someone that's a and dies that
way someone that's intermarried and dies
that way someone that goes against him
and doesn't do chuva he's going to
punish him nothing in the world can
change that
that in fact there are
some that are from the days of the r
that are of the opinion that you're
wasting your time praying for dead
people why if they're Wicked there's
nothing you can do about it now all
there are say no no we have proof in the
Tora in
the prayed for his Rabbi that turned off
the and we saw something says it change
says yeah you be and maybe it's going to
change reality you're not or his
shoes and anyway his RI had a lot of
Torah and now was his
Merit so there are some say he died
nothing you can do about it now most of
the opinions say no no you should say
kadish and you should pray anything
could help what do you have to lose
anyway do it it'll go for for their
Merit do more sh for them do more
prayers for them and that's the common
opinion but the point being here is is
that there is a very very strong opinion
that you got to get you're getting a
shot right now don't mess
around don't mess around like Gom is not
a fun place it's not a laundry
machine says it has several different
types of fires and horror and Nightmare
don't go
there you see it turn left turn right
turn
anywhere now the
says that
inat page
129 that when
gave the
Tor it wasn't just like what thear said
earlier in the in the
that he
lifted
the the mount on top
of and
said you accept my Torah this is
like lot of people millions of people
you need a mountain to cover
them you
don't you don't do it we going to drop
it on you and this will be your burial
crown
so then later on say how come you're not
allowed to
do what's the big deal you could do it
in other times why can't you do
Slaughter something on which is the
day so the says something
scary it says because
this slow in
cow even if you mean it to celebrate and
have a nice meal or even as
aan bad idea why it is symbolic of what
was about to
happen where
says here's my
Torah accept it good you don't accept it
I already have the knife is ready to
slaughter all of you and the rest of the
world they went into details initially
he said something secondly he gave the
details so don't remind us of that scary
day we met AEM firsthand and told us his
the tah because it wasn't a
suggestion so here we see already you
helping a person that's in the world
today Jew or
non-jew and let them know by the way you
know God yeah he didn't suggest the
Torah he didn't recommend it he
obligated it he commended
it and I highly highly recommend since
I'm not the king I can't force
you I highly recommend you listen
why watch this guy press play he'll
explain I told you he'll
explain this is already one thing
clarifies now
the prophet
Isaiah says in chapter 42 verse 20
talks about
am after they've
sinned hasem has this to say to them but
it is L eluded downtrodden
people all of them trapped in holes and
hidden away in prisons they're looted
and there is no rescuer plundered with
none to say give it back who among you
you will give ear to this will herken
and hear the
outcome who delivered yov to plunder and
is to lutters was it not
AEM he against whom we have
sinned they did not wish to go in his
way and did not listen to his Torah so
he poured out his fiery wrath upon them
and the power of War it burned them from
all around but but he would not know it
burned within him but he did not take it
to
heart tells the prophet to let know you
see all this destruction the mikash the
horror the blood everyone's a prisoner
what do you think it just happened for
no reason what do you happen think it
happened because they had a stronger
Army the Iranians just toci deed to pick
war with you out of all of the nations
in the
world the Russians decide to support
them this one and that one all of a
sudden just hates you just because no
why did it happen hasem says why did all
of this horror happen because you did
not listen to the Torah you did not
listen to his ways even after he gave
you warning
you got a virus you did nothing about it
government of the places that you live
in went against you you did nothing
about it your own communities were
plundering and going upside down you did
nothing about it you didn't learn the
lesson small the warnings you just
thought oh bad luck Bad season bad
generation week this all types of
excuses and now you have nothing to help
you the
page
32b
says for the sin of unfulfilled vows
someone that says something and doesn't
keep his promise we learned
from of this week you say something you
better keep your
promise don't be one of those people say
I'll be there 5 minutes but you know
it's going to be an hour and a half
before you get there no I'll pay you
back on Tuesday three years from now
don't do that why doesn't like it how
much he doesn't like it seem like such a
big deal sounds like a big deal wasting
seeds a big
deal committing adultery is a big deal
keeping your word what's the big deal
about
that say for the sin of unfulfilled vows
a person's children die
May hasem preserve us and save us from
ourselves these are the words of the son
of
rimonim is talking about
however
says children die neglecting the Torah
study people die because of that kids
die because of that
now according to the
one who says that children die for the
sin of unfulfilled
vows the reason is understandable but
the source for
this is as we have stated of
Ecclesiastes
55 but according to the one who says
that children die for the sin of a
neglecting Torah what's the verse for
this one
why is asking okay we understand
somebody doesn't keep his vows we have a
specific obligation and to to keep your
vows don't make a for no reason don't
promise things for no
reason even saying A promise is a
promise even saying I'll be there is in
essence a form of a promise not quite as
much as an but don't say things
knowingly that you're lying you make a
mistake you make a mistake say
but don't knowingly be a
liar why the mishna
says the same God that destroyed the
generation of Noah with the flood and
the same God that destroyed the Next
Generation Daga the Tower of Babel is
going to be the same God that destroys
those that do not keep their word
meaning a
hates
Liars why it's the opposite of him just
like idolatry is the opposite of God
you're replacing everything which is god
with nothing which is the Idol because
the idol is not even the creation the
idol is the creation of the creation
it's a lower than the creation so you're
replacing everything the Creator with
the creation of the creation the lowest
form of
creation so just like Idol
tree is hated by God because the exact
opposite of him she is also the opposite
of him lies is also the opposite of him
because he's complete truth so he says
we have verses we have sources where
Liars big
problems and here we're talking about
intentional Liars but sometimes even
people that unintentionally lie get
hurt so you have to be careful so the
says okay we understand this very
clearly but why is it that someone that
doesn't learn T gets the same type of
punishment T why would you want to go
play basketball and that said one
somebody going to die because of
that I just decided to play some video
games and that's it someone's going to
die because of that I just decided to
just watch
TV waste burn a few hours how people
call it or burn a few hours why are you
burning you keep going burning this way
they're going to keep burning you
after why you getting so used to to
burning people want to burn time I have
an appointment in 2 hours I got to burn
a couple of hours so I'm just driving
around why nothing to do your brain is
what like a little mouse on a on a
wheel there's a million and a half
things to do how do you not have
something to do how do you ever get
bored ah you know how you get bored the
ram wres the only people that sin
morality sins are people
that have nothing in their mind and
because they have nothing in their mind
meaning no Tor in their mind they get
bored and they get bored they end up
sending morality
sense so
now someone
says okay I understand don't lie be an
honest
person but if I don't learn T because I
feel like just doing nothing you're
telling me it's
horrible the says yes the ask what's the
source says it is
written thear says we use a source from
Jeremiah 2:
30 in vain I have smitten your children
for they had not accepted the rebuke the
M soim explained Rashi over there says
this is where we learn the Tora and M
are
synonymous they mean the same
thing when you neglect M you're
neglecting
Tor when you neglect T you neglect M
it's the same word and hasm says when
you neglect my
M then you're just going to get hurt and
still there's nothing going come out of
it
so here we see that your fellow
Jew that's not learning toah at least a
little bit every
day has put himself in his or her
children shalom in
danger how by simply not learning what
the Creator obligated him or her to
learn so you telling him listen I'm not
telling you to go to Yeshiva and become
the next
take it easy but everyone here in the
world has 24 hours can you put 15
minutes 30 minutes an hour aside every
day to maybe listen to
sh you can right you spent 15 minutes a
half hour or more reading a newspaper
let's replace the newspaper with
something else to read the newspaper is
what the media tells you to buy the
Torah is what God says to
buy let's let's you've been listening
listening to the media for 30 40 years
right by buying their New York Times and
Daily News Avid every every week every
day you're a subscriber to all types of
newspapers you're a big believer in Wall
Street Journal right what about god
let's give him a shot
too 15 minutes can change your life but
not 15 minutes whenever you feel like it
wants in a blue just like you read the
newspaper every day read the Torah every
day that little bit of Torah can
literally save
lives how hasem says finally he's
learning M finally she's learning my
Tora it's not 24 hours a day and it may
not even be two hours a day but at least
she's paying some attention to me at
least she's reading some of my Torah
he's reading some of my Torah that gives
me hope that they're not going to get
back on that track and I don't need to
hit
them when you tell
people
about learning t as the most important
mitvah to start
with you're telling them a way that may
they may not realize it but you're
telling them a way how to protect their
own life in this world to the the extent
where they can even turn their own life
in this world into
heaven how simply going to a that's a
quality Sho press play sit back relax
and make sure to pay
attention very
simple you want to get some books start
with the
Kash you have some commentary you go to
one of the well-respected
kosher
Publications Jewish bookstores ask for a
kumash with commentary start reading
everything that's on a
page you want to have something from
with a little more
details relevant today you could ask
your Rabbi or the person that influenced
you to do chv your
M what should you start with what
book and you get started every day a
little Shure audio video maybe a
book and then you
start that
way but you telling them you have to do
the whole Tora that sounds too
much why they're in a cave they're in
darkness for 20 30 40 years didn't even
know that the outside world was an
option they didn't even know that the
Torah world was an option because
they've been trained to hate the Torah
by practically everyone they know why
how will religious people View
today just pick an ugly word that's
usually how they're
viewed oh you religious people you're uh
always uh taking handouts you don't
work really we don't work do you know
that we actually pay more taxes than n
religious people in many cases because
we make more money in fact the average
income of a religious person in America
is actually higher than a non-religious
person
$164,000 not only showing that keeping
MIT doesn't affect your income in a
negative way but in fact in many cases
you actually make more
money but the stigma is if you're
religious you're poor that's sure there
are poor religious people but there's
also poor secular
people but the stigma is no religious no
good and all types of other stereotypes
created by Lefty liberal mindset people
to distort people oh the Torah is not
relevant to this generation did you ever
read it in order to determine that or
you just heard somebody say that in your
piggybacking off of his stupidity are
you an original stupid or you're like
piggybacking there was one
time a guy that wanted to start
a in his
house so he sent out a
message in the community that he's going
to
teach the teachings ethical teachings of
our Sages
they do it on such and such date at such
and such time and hopefully a lot of
people show up and we could make a
series out of it every
week he prepared the house made sure the
kids went to
sleep make sure the wife
agreed got a bunch of snacks for people
to munch on cuz if there's no food
people don't
come you ask them oh we're having
what do you have to
eat it's not a restaurant oh no food
okay B I'll come
B oh no today the sh okay what time is
it that hey can I come a little early
I'm
hungry listen last week you had shw you
think maybe you can make sushi this
week so the guy prepared some snack
prepared the books prepared
himself 9:00
comes
nobody
9:05 zero 9:30 Nothing by 10:00 still
nobody gave up called it the
night the plan
failed the next week he said you know
what let me try something
else
advertised teachings of
sunu the art of beating Life The Art of
War the art of whatever the
secret of the stars and how to manage
your life by seeing all types of wisdoms
from all worlds
we'll also serve
sushi to his surprise 9:00 packed
house he doesn't care starts teaching
sansu
said and meu said
son and sin and pin also
said everybody wow
genius
genius wow I wish you I I where were you
my whole
life can you do this again every week
wow really for free
with wow what amazing I love this
community
finally somebody's doing something for
the
people every week 9:00 packed house SSU
and mitsu teach you XYZ and ABC and the
secret of this and the secret of that
and how to overcome this and how to
overcome that shortly later somewhere
around 9 or 10 months
later he
says today is the last SE
today is the last
section after
this we're going to learn the Kash
what's that is that by son or by sin no
no no no it's by God
ah
really why I really really like this
Asian mystical
teachings like I'm not really sure I can
make it well before you decide
whether you can make it or not I want to
let you know today is the last
page and I wanted to tell you guys that
I'm sorry but I'm not sorry you see I'm
sorry I lied to you a little
bit but I'm not sorry that I lied
because it was for your interest you see
when I advertized that I want to teach
the teachings of our Jewish
sages with sushi
no one showed
up but the second I
changed Jewish SES to Sun and sin and
two all of you wonderful people showed
up yeah because it's much more
interesting well before you say that let
me finish you
see because I knew you thought that and
you have this stigma that you learned
your whole life that son and sin and two
were much more interesting than RAB AKA
and RAB Shimon I did you a
favor every time it said Rabbi I said
Son and the entire nine months that
we've been together learning and and it
was really the very
same that I wanted to teach you
originally we just changed the names but
the teachings are the same exact
teachings of our sages you just said you
liked it in fact you said it changed
your life now I'm telling you let's go
learn about their God
too you see sometimes we have these
stigmas that the Torah is not
interesting and not relevant even though
we know nothing about it I have
countless young people and older people
as asking me about different wisdoms I
tell them listen you can find this in
the gar you can find this in the Kash
you should buy this book you should
watch this
video many times people listen but once
in a while you get a tough
nut what's a tough nut someone that
simply refuses to
listen so you give them they ask you a
question you give them an
answer they say all right thanks Rabbi
and they come back to you with the same
exact question in a different format
but then they throw you a curve ball or
they say Rabbi listen do you think I can
find wisdom in
Christianity Rabbi do you think there is
wisdom that I can find if I read the
Quran of the
Muslims Rabbi what do you think about
Buddhism really don't you think it has
some good stuff in there maybe I could
check it out
what about the teachings of the Hindus
you know those ones that you know use
the urine to clean their house and to
purify
it they must do it for a reason
Rabbi what about the Torah that I've
been telling you to learn for the last
several months you've been texting me at
3:00 in the morning now I haven't got to
that yet but cuz I'm really into this
Quran first I'm really into this new
testament first I'm really into this uh
Buddhism I'm really into but you haven't
you haven't checked your own Heritage
yet you haven't checked your own
instruction from God yet but yet you are
driven to look into something else why
so
disinterested answer is to learn
Buddhism Islam
Christianity or any other form of
idolatry has no
yet in fact the yet will encourage you
to do it and do it well in fact why
don't you become a scholar in Islamic
teachings of the 14th
century but what about
Torah Mr
Moshe
Mr what about the Torah from 3,000 years
ago I didn't get to that
yet why yet keeps telling me go
somewhere else
and sometimes the yet comes as your best
friend as your parents as your
teachers as people that are around you
you made a bad choice of
friends you're in an unfortunate
circumstance you are one of the
prisoners in that dark cave and they all
are likeminded like you living in
darkness thinking that that light they
call the Torah it's not possible it's
just some fairy tale
let us check something else
out now guess
what without the hand of Hashem himself
those people will never come out of the
cave they'll stay in darkness they'll
become scholars in every foreign and
forbidden teachings known to
man it's no surprise that some of the
worst things on planet
Earth were actually created by Jew
that went against theem one perfect
example is
communism Carl Marx was a Jew a
rash a real Rasha but he's he's the one
that had the
manifesto lenon that followed
him made it much bigger much more
violent a Jew
these people literally destroyed
societies but not because they follow
the
Torah Shalom because they
didn't instead of following the Torah
they follow the yet they follow the
stigma The Stereotype that the Torah
cannot bring any light to this
world we need to check something else
out let us check cabala
Center let us check
Hinduism let us check Yoda and yoga and
whatever you want let us become experts
in Star
Wars let us do everything but
Torah now why do I tell you all of this
because as you can see these are all
people living in darkness this is the
vast majority of am is today
and only in the hand of hasem can rescue
them or
you you that saw that little light and
through your own suffering overcame the
battle to see the light
clearly have a choice to make do you
just completely abandon all of
them take care of your own t
enjoy the light for yourself hopefully
somebody else saves them see you in the
corner see you in the end see you around
or maybe not or do you go back into the
cave drop off a CD and say watch
this when you do that you now become the
hand of
hem hence the reason of why the reward
is so big
without further Ado hopefully this gave
us some encouragement ask me some
questions Shem will give us the
answers how
Joshua this question before fews how
does a person name a
ro how does a person's name play a role
in their mission in
life um names are a unique identity to a
person so long as it's
a name that
uh is connected to something
holy now if you're one of the
unfortunate people that has stupid
parents that call you
like or
Nike or
Luther or one of
or one of these
names uh that uh either have no real
meaning or significance or perhaps or
even the opposite of
good n being the first person that went
against theem and
idolatry you might as well just call
your kid Hitler which believe it or not
some people still
do hopefully not Jews but you never know
point is it's it's as your parents was
somewhat normal and called you a normal
name then your name is significant uh
and you should be called by that full
name um
now what I mean by full name is that
if you have two
names you have let's say is May
like his first name was is second name
with male you're supposed to be called
by that full name every time
meaning don't be like the Americans that
give their kids a middle name but no one
really knows it unless the kid hates the
first name and just decides that the
second name is their name both names are
your names and you should call yourself
by both names you introduce yourself I
am AB I am is I am this if you only have
one name then you have one name that's
fine too second thing is when it comes
to name is don't shorten your name like
if your name is uh let's say uh
El don't change your name to
Ellie don't change your name to Ellie
why shorten your name you could shorten
your life
say so it's a very bad idea to shorten
your name now in regards to a task or
role in the world based on your
name that may or may not have some uh
Deep Roots within the cabal cabala world
uh but uh again I think it's a uh has to
do you know with teachings that are
beyond the scope of what we're learning
number one what I can teach number two
and number three what's relevant to most
people in the world your main role first
and foremost is the general role for all
people which is to serve AEM do
everything possible to fulfill the
entire T that's your role in the world
second role in the world is overcome
your obstacles specifically the ones
that are most difficult for you as far
as character traits that's the second
role regardless of what your name
is if you're an angry person you have to
work on that character trait and order
to become someone does not get angry but
rather understands that life does not
revolve around
you rather revolved around AEM not
you and you have to work on your your
anger if you're a stingy person you have
to work on your stinginess hm does not
like people that are stingy so you have
to become more generous how the rambam
suggests start giving a little bit to a
lot of people instead of giving
$100 to one person give $1 to 100 people
after a short period of time you're
going to start liking
giving because it gives you a spiritual
benefit and you'll start giving more
money to less people but nonetheless
more money or whatever it is that you're
giving so you have to work on your
generosity and so on and so forth with
all of the character traits so General
thing is follow the entire Tora
secondary is overcome your obstacles
mainly being your flawed character
traits and three is look at
how gifted you are whatever gift gifts
hem gave
you and see how you can utilize those
gifts to sanctify
hasem a very
well-known
artist came
to one of Theo I forget who it
was and he said to him Rabbi I'm a very
well-known
artist but all the things that I drew
unacceptable according to the Torah and
now I'm doing
chuv and I know that my job is
forbidden so what do I do how do I make
money the looked at him he says you're
clearly
gifted hasem gave you the gift of being
an
artist so use that
gift and create art for Kusa
learn the gar learn the
Mish and draw things that explain
them and you'll be able to
make the guy did it he did it with a the
Mish first his name was
Yi and not only did those Mish become
the most famous Mish to teach young and
older people but he became one of the
the most well-respected successful
Jewish artists in the world still
today same thing with Gadi
palak Gip palak also was a very
well-known and established artist in the
secular world but once he did chuva got
the
same
idea whether it be by his r
or or the combination
thereof decide to utilize this special
gift that he has of Art in order to
sanctify shem's name and today he is
perhaps the most sought after artist in
the Jewish
World to get him to do the art for your
book you need to first know how to find
him which is practically impossible he's
like in
hiding but every so often you see
another Masterpiece come
out because his art is not like secular
art we just draw something that you're
trying to get people to understand what
it is his art is he's drawing what the
mid says he makes you see what the Torah
says which means that it's not about
just being an artist but rather you have
to be a first you have to know what the
mid says what the says what the all
commentaries are saying in order to see
how this art is perfect and aside from
that
beautiful so see what gift God gave you
and find out how you can utilize
it to make a
living by sanctifying aem's
name and
this is another example of how hasem
says that I gave you the Torah to live
by it and not to die by
it meaning that Hashem gave you
different talents different skills and
you can utilize them in order to do good
things you don't have have to
necessarily change career all the time
unless your career by default is not
Kosher like there is no way to kosher
your
career but for the most part most things
that are ethical and legal you can find
a way to do it in the Kosher Way and
also you can find a way to do it in non
kosha
way I can tell you what my father says
long before I became religious he said
to me any business in the world you can
do it in two ways you can do it the
right
way or the wrong
way the wrong way you'll make a lot of
money in a short period of time but you
won't survive eventually it'll
end the right way much harder take you a
lot
longer but you'll not only survive
eventually you become
successful and that's the type of
ideology that I was raised in and that's
what we followed we always did things
straight
not because we were religious but rather
we got good teachings of
Ethics now it made my life more
difficult than perhaps what it looked
like the others were doing but in the
end one after another you always see
that in the end the right way always
wins so you can do whatever business
that you're doing in the right
way uh and more importantly in the Torah
way and just utilize your gift whatever
gift hm gave you if he gave you a gift
of ability to speak ability to draw draw
ability to see certain things in a
certain way creativity salesmanship
whatever it is that he gave you patience
which is very very uh rare Talent of its
own or ability of its own whatever it is
people have different things that you
can utilize and do great things with
them next
question know the rest of the oh
something okay
gracious today okay a lot of superu
words that the comment doesn't cover
like example not rather it said that I
forgot the name but it gave birth to
someone and then it said the brother of
person that she gave birth to rather
than just saying she gave birth to two
sons
uhhuh so here you uh when you see that
there are there is countless places in
the
tah where you see like you said
Superfluous words pressence words that
seem like we don't really
need uh where it seems like it could be
used without it uh and the and the
mid always always always have not just
one but sometimes many reasons of why
that extra word is there uh in fact
there are countless teachings about how
some words are spelled same exact word
but spelled two different
ways and there's countless countless
teachings there sometimes there's even
lessons to be learned from where a word
is within a
sentence so the Torah is literally
endless with the amount of teachings and
one of the ways that you could uh see
it is it says after um
honor your father and your
mother
so the
say anytime you see it and which means
end that's to teach you an additional
lesson aside from what the basic meaning
is so the say okay so what about this
verse
honor your father and your mother how
come it doesn't say honor your parents
or honor your
father and mother like or there's just
another way to do
it so there's is a few ways to do it to
shorten it why the extra
word so says that's to teach you honor
your father and your mother but the end
is in essence representing your older
brother you have to respect your parents
but also your older brother honor him
also so now the come back and say okay
anytime there's the word it we hear
there that we learn from there it's
there that's a secret that extra word is
a secret CU you could do it instead of
it just replace it with a V one letter V
instead of it so that's to teach another
another thing there but then but then
one of the that taught this wanted to
tell me de that he has is very smart he
says okay
Rabbi it
says it says fear hasem you must fear
Hemm who else other than
hasem so the rabbi didn't know he says
okay I don't know cancel everything I
just taught you for the last 3 hours
cancel it a mistake
says comes he says no no the Ra was not
mistaken here the Torah is teaching you
says
honorem but it has that it has that and
theem that's also to teach you honor
your Rabbi why he's aem's
messenger you have how much do you honor
your Rabbi from there we learn you to
honor your Rabbi like you honorem fear
hem fear your Rabbi how much you fear
the rabbi fear the rabbi like you fear
hem that's how much honor you have to
give that's how much now this is one of
the most difficult things for people to
do in the
beginning and one of the reasons because
we view
rabbis as people just like like us but
maybe they know a little bit more we
don't necessarily view them as
messengers of
hasem so many times people do not
appreciate wisdom appreciate the toil
that it requires to acquire wisdom
appreciate Torah for what it is I was
like ah big deal he said
it so what he said it what he's the king
of the world he's just a Rabbi what do
you mean he's a big Rabbi he's a he's
quoting is
quoting I can quote it too but you're
not he
is
has supporters is this is
that you're not respecting it only if it
agrees with my
reality and that's why many people never
acquire wisdom themselves and one of the
reasons is because the
says hasem gives wisdom to those that
have
wisdom he does not give wisdom to fools
why because fools are fools for a reason
they're fools because they don't
appreciate wisdom so even if hasem gave
them wisdom they wouldn't know what to
do with it they don't appreciate it but
whereas the
wise appreciates wisdom and that's why
he acquired it and therefore hasem will
even give him more so many times you see
somebody not succeeding in learning T
not succeeding in becoming a not because
he's not
reading because he doesn't
appreciate he doesn't
appreciate who is who the is What's d
doesn't appreciate it says you're a fool
yeah but I read a lot of books so
what so what is given
by so we learned
froma how much should we honor and fear
our as much as we honor in
fear why it has that word it that
Superfluous word and countless countless
other places there are countless ways uh
and lessons to learn so much so that AKA
himself when mosu saw in Prophecy the
life of RAB AKA he saw him teach in a
classroom from the from the crowns on
top of the Hebrew letters anyone that
ever saw the way that the Hebrew letters
are drawn sometimes is not just like the
computer but rather sometimes they have
crowns on them and it's beautiful but
it's not for beauty not it's not those
crowns on top of letters they're not for
beauty it is beautiful but it's not
don't ever think for a second that
they're drawn there for beauty it's a
mistake there are
lessons major major secrets to learn
from those crowns and was teaching them
it was such a high level of Torah that M
says I don't understand what he's
talking about why don't you give him the
Torah why you giving it to
me m became
self-conscious has says wait second let
him finish the sh at the end of the
Sha says and all of what taught you we
learned from our Rabbi
mhu meaning what all we did is expand on
the teaching of mosenu that's it we
continue toiling and toiling and toiling
in the Torah and more and more layers of
the onion were taken off more of the
core was uncovered more Beauty was
covered more light was covered and
that's what we have right
now but not because we're new and we're
smarter no no no we piggy B off
of without him with
nothing meaning
that even the crowns on top of the
letters the Hebrew letters
have and extraordinary secrets in fact
one time someone asked why does the
Torah spend any time writing the names
of all of these people that lived 3,000
years ago 4,000 years ago especially if
some of these people have no descendants
left in the world like k k there's no
descendants in the world from
Ken so what's the point of knowing Ken
gave birth to this married this married
that who cares it's not like you could
say oh yeah I'm a descendant of K
no nothing so what do I need to know his
family
for shimai says in those names the
sections where all of us think is a
waste of time why do we even have to
read names for two pages the tribe of
gave birth to this gave birth to that
what do I care about these people and
remember them for some test what hasem
is is is testing me like I'm in high
school what do I need to know these
names for okay M I understand I
understand the key people I understand
but what are all these people
forish shimai
says the secrets that he uncovered for
the Z for cabala for all of the mystical
stuff and many many other things he
found exactly in those places those very
same places other people thought was a
waste of time and that is why there is
no verse in the Torah that is more
important than another every verse is
the same exact value with
it's or
or whatever other verse you can pick
this is the tribe of whatever you want
to pick every one of those verses has
exactly the same value and that's why
the rambam writes that those K that
stand up when it gets to
par then it talks about the ten
commandments that are where they have
the custom of standing up when they're
reading the Ten Commandments he said
they're mistaken it's forbidden why
because you're giving those verses more
value than any other verse in the T and
that's not allowed every verse in the t
is exactly the same value infinite
amount of lessons infinite amount of
lessons from the verse infinite amount
of lessons from the Superfluous words
like Sutton was mentioning infinite
amount of lessons from the crowns
infinite amount of letters from
how the words are spelled sometimes in
multiple
ways and sometimes even how the sentence
itself begins and ends and what letter
connects the last parasha to this
parasha there's literally infinite
amount of lessons to learn from the tah
where you could learn it day and night
24 hours a day for a million and a half
years and still not even know 1% of the
tah 1% of even if you had IQ of a
thousand IQ of a thousand million and a
half years 24 hours there you still
don't know 1% of the Torah and that's
also
he said how much Tora do you know RAB he
says I know Torah to the extent where if
you take all of the land and make it
into
paper and all of the trees and make them
into
pens and all of the water and turn it
into ink and write all of the Torah that
I know it wouldn't be enough it wouldn't
be enough all the world turning into
paper all the ocean into ink it wouldn't
be enough to write the Torah that I know
and he says in the Torah that I know is
not even a lick that a dog makes in a
lake in an
ocean in comparison to the Torah of my
Rabbi so literally the ones that knew in
comparison to US an infinite amount of
toah are themselves saying they know
nothing in comparison to how much is
available ailable out there so there's a
lot of lessons if you look if you want
to study some of the more intricate
details of the verses I highly recommend
reading the
mid that's a very very good start or mid
R is also very good and as many many
other
M uh as one of many and each one of
these mid will give you layers upon
layers upon lay layers upon layers of
every single verse in the Torah and of
course
the and so on and so forth so it's a uh
a lot of lessons and uh some uh focus on
one thing some focus on other things but
the most important thing for a Jew to do
to start off with is become well versed
in what Rashi
says until you become well versed in
what the basic commentary is by Rashi
don't delve into other things because
that's the basic well accepted among all
of whatever it is doesn't make a
difference Rashi is the standard he is
the standard without Rashi we don't know
anything so first you become well versed
in what Rashi says and then you start
delving into others and so on next
question
Sunny um
18,000 worlds
day Hashem visits 18,000 worlds a
day um mean that could be one of the mid
talks about different aspects of of the
world different things I'm not familiar
specifically with the uh with that
teaching that doesn't really mean much
um the uh whether is referring to
spiritual worlds that uh are in the
upper world because as we know the uh
the physical world is
limited uh because we have material with
physicality the spiritual world is not
limited there's no limitation to it and
for example for every uh um uh person
that you help do Chua you get in
addition to youra your world that you're
going to get as a reward for all your
good things you get an additional 310
worlds 310 worlds which means that all
you got to do is just get 500 people to
do chuva and you got your own 18,000
worlds that hasm could visit every day
so as far as the spiritual world there's
literally no
limitation
andik go visit each other in their own
worlds everybody has get their own world
and every they visit each other and
some also visit each other and ab visits
s and is the only one that's allowed to
go visit
mosu and Ruth goes
Vis
grandmother they go to their
world now
he
sawes that his tal who's also his
nephew who died before
him he had a unique privilege
Ina what was his privilege anytime you
want to go from one world to the other
you have to have Angels Take
You Rabbi where you want to go tadik
where you want to go where you want to
go oh I want to go visit such and such
oh let's see in the account oh yeah you
have the right to go over there let's
take you let's go free no Uber no
nothing Angels take you to wherever you
want to go to the world the more
righteous you are the more privileged
you get to see wonderful
things
but
saw his nephew was
his so how they were treating him
in say can go wherever you want no
Angels he go wherever he want no Angels
runs the show
how
come did
K was the K in his generation he got do
CH making sacrifices hunting the deer
taking a leather writing a Torah on it
then teaching the kids the to one one
kid he taught him another kid and so on
then after the he finished he taught the
other one Tau then he wrote the six M
you learn the first one second one third
one fourth one fifth one six one each
one he taught them okay now you teach
each other then after you teach each
other you teach each other you you
teaching the M you teach you teaching
the T and he went to communities where
there was no Tora like Cooper City no
Tor he went over
there says look at my nephew my
student my student runs the show in why
he got to
do he got to do CH no can touch him
where can he go anywhere he
wants oh today I'm going to go and
visitu let's
go can we can we keep you company can we
come with you no no no you not I'm G to
go myself oh okay okay we'll wait for
you
here
that's
was says if Masia would have come at the
time of he would be
mashiah and rebi started crying why cuz
until that point rebi didn't do kiru
like his nephew he started
crying say I got to do I got to help
people do TR started running in the
streets looking for people that are off
the in those days you have to look for
them so looking for them say I want to
have the same as my
student surely he does cuz the only
reason why we have the oral to is
because of him but the point being
is that the more knowledgeable a person
is in Tor the more he understands how
much of a gift it is and how much is a
gift Hashem is looking to give us for
helping more people know it so as far as
the many worlds uh I don't believe he's
referring to physical worlds I believe
it's spiritual worlds of probably
different sikim and so on that's what I
think he's referring to but again I
don't know that specific to quote you
for sure that that's the world but I'm
certain that that's what he's talking
about cuz there is no 18 this world
there's no like 18 uh Planet Earths or
the likes that doesn't exist next
question
yes teach that um you someone or someone
is born in the womb there's a Mal that
teaches the T and before you know out
kind of you
know he gets hit and he forgets
everything yeah now that's assuming
that's a Jew and I'm assuming teaches
him whats to like the law something like
that no in the case of some who let's
say that was a Jew for some reason um
that cut from the community for some sin
and then now you have to come back live
as as a boy then find his way back to
Judaism so what would be the case for us
such person you guys are cabalist you
people uh the
says says
in that um different
people for different
sins reincarnate into different things
sometimes a
person son he could reincarnate into a
cow a dog a cat different types of
animals plants trees a rock a
wall and uh have to pay some type of
bill for sinning in some
way sometimes they'll come back as a
just another person which all of us our
reincarnation several times over from
the time of Mount SA
uh but sometimes a person gets
punished uh for uh desecrating the tah
and uh let's say for example being
intermarried you know a Jew marrying a
non-jew or a Jew converting to
Christianity and says that the
punishment for such a person could be
that they would have to
reincarnate as a
non-jew with a tun meaning a uh a goal a
uh a purpose of converting back to
Judaism in order to rectify the sins of
their previous life so the question is
that particular uh
n that was in the uh person that learns
the says that when a person is in his
mommy's belly there's a that teaches him
the entire Torah
now what about this person this person
that uh reincarnated from you know was a
Jew and reincarnate as a does the
Mal still teach him the same
Tor uh although I don't know for sure
because I don't remember being a non-jew
nor do I remember being in my mommy's
belly um I uh can tell you that since
it's already a Jewish
n uh we already know that this n already
knows the tor already was taught the
Torah at some point or another
beforehand at some point or another
beforehand in their previous life or so
on so it doesn't
necessarily uh need to be a special case
for that person that that person would
learn it and another person wouldn't
learn it meaning that it is a given that
person would come to this world with
some type of knowledge in order for them
to uh achieve their purpose because in
essence what is the purpose of this
Angel teaching you the Torah in the uh
your mommy's belly if you're going to
forget it anyway what's the purpose of
teaching it the purpose is is that many
times when you toil and toil for Torah
suddenly new ideas come to you but
they're not really new meaning it's
almost like you remember even though you
never learned it because you already
know it so when you what you're doing is
when you're studying Torah you're not in
essence learning new information but
rather you're toiling over Torah in
order to justify hasem uncovering the
things that you already know so that
person that reincarnated as a non-jew
with a tun to become a Jew surely hasem
would make sure that he knows whatever
he needs to know once he does convert to
a Jew so whether that is something that
is taught to him during that nine months
that he's in his mommy's belly during
that very time where he's you know he's
uh reincarnating as a non-jew or perhaps
was already in from a previous one that
part I don't know uh but either way it's
a needless to say that surely he would
have all of the required Tools in order
to fulfill their their obligation and
that's why there are certain converts
for example that were very very unique
converts that they weren't just a
traditional convert that just converted
to Judaism was a standard very nice
good Jew and that's it no there were
some really exceptional converts among
likeon uh Ruth RAB aka the family
of
ab and many other converts on K these
people were exceptional converts where
they didn't just convert they literally
changed the Torah
World they were the biggest Giants in
the history
of so surely these people had some type
of uh history that is beyond the scenes
like for
example the Z says that there are
special that have the ability to change
the world meaning they have a
supercharged
Nish it's not a regular
it's one of those that anyone knows a
little bit of cabala knows the drawing
of how cabala is you have let's say for
know the higher the level the closer to
the brain the higher of K so there are
certain that come from the head of
because had
old most of us are probably coming from
the
feet but that's true it's not not
offense including myself most of us are
coming from the feet but there are some
that are unique that are coming from the
higher body parts some even as much as
the
head but those are supercharg super mosu
for example is one of them that's how
much Super
now because hem wants to make it a fair
world the Z says that
these have the ability to do exceptional
things but on both
ends and that's why they're initially
Held High hostage by the Satan himself
and in order to
uncover this and get it to get to the
highest level of Kusha there's a major
test that's beyond human powers beyond
the norm one of the examples the Z uses
is was one of those
exceptional where the he was a prisoner
of the Satan
himself but because he overcame a test
that none of us would ever even imagine
ourselves uh uh
doing he
became the to that we
know and not the other names that he had
as a non-jew as a idol worshipper and so
on he became literally the name that
symbolizes
mat and so he's one of them Ruth is one
of them
David was one of them these people had
the ability either to become
Hitler that's how much why because it's
a unique Nish so there are some people
that are that type of Nish very very
rare generally speaking the overwhelming
majority of the world is all old that
keep coming back coming back coming back
but every generation has some brand
new and those brand new are their
they're in essence the the pure the
perfect the Giants that uh you know they
don't think like us or even see like us
uh but they uh it's like people that
we've seen throughout the generations
that um they don't belong in that
generation in so many words they simply
don't belong in that generation and it
has been um you know several times for
example one time a uh the uh babaali Al
Shalom asked that uh his T to go and
invite
Rya to come visit him still when radya
was still relatively
young and
uh came to visit the Babas was not only
a big he was a
big an
enormous and he went to visit him and
the babaali sat down with him for a
minute and he says let's have a special
s special feast and you and I can bring
the mashiah right now
he says knows I have a right now
meaning yes we can bring the Mas right
now with the amount of K that we could
learn together and toil together we
could bring Mash right now but I have
something more important I have a sh
scheduled in 20 minutes I got to
go I got to go to the it's much more
important than bringing the
mashia B didn't reject him he say you're
right thank you for coming visit me
after he left after left the babaali
says to his gab he says he's not from
this he's not from this generation this
is
a not
me so they said the same thing
about and other other very very
exceptional people some we know about
some we don't so there are you know the
teachings of n has no end
yeah for the in Hebrew but it means
complet sh there's only
three mean that only three have all the
souls of the world in their soul like
everybody not just Jewish like the whole
world in their
souls I never heard that before I mean
it's a I know the mashiah is going to
have part of his is have a spark of
David and part of his is going to have
the spark
ofu uh but as far as having all of the
never heard that show me the source I'd
love to I'd love to learn
[Music]
it no I know is the
original never heard no is the that's
that I know but as far as the
and and mashia that's new interesting
next question next
question see I
come no
says if you look at the
commentaries ran writes
means means meaning that hem created the
world with wisdom that the world that we
live in is the perfect world The the
world cannot become more perfect it's
the perfect world as far as the way it
was created we are ruining it
nonetheless but the point is the way it
was created was in its perfect form what
is that
like Shalom spoke to his uh heart
surgeon one time that was and he said to
him do you have a car he said yes he
says what kind of car do you have and he
told him the model he because how old is
this car says brand new oh what was the
your old car goes I had a different one
last year and he said how long did you
have that one it was for one
year and he said what about before that
I had another car for one year says so
what you knew you get a new car every
year he said yeah says why do you get a
new car every year because every year
the new cars have new things in them new
features new tools new things that are
better than last year
so I keep getting the newest thing so
interesting he says now you're a heart
surgeon yeah and you've seen a lot of
Hearts many many hearts he says would
you being an expert in hearts and doing
so much heart
surgery maybe have a
suggestion of something that could be
better in the heart that something that
could you know maybe make it better says
RAB
the heart as it's created is perfect you
cannot make it
better whatever we do is after something
breaks something's ruined but as it's
created complete complete you cannot
make it more better more functional more
nothing it's
perfect so says you see son you see the
creation of man keeps getting updates
updates updates updates why it's never
perfect keeps the be more and more and
more but the creation of Hashem it's
perfect after one
time so the ran
writes
means means with wisdom with wisdom
meaning the world as it was created was
with wisdom with with completion was
perfect then other commentary says the
says is also referring to which also
called
means in the beginning it's not
literally means beginning it says in the
head what does it mean in the head in
the head is really the the name for who
is the head of all of the other nations
The Chosen among the Nations meaning the
whole world was created for the whole
world was created
for so much so that the the uh mid says
and the rambam elaborates on it and he
says just so you know how much AEM
loves loves theik he will give an
Arab a extraordinary amount of
money and not only they give him a lot
of money but one day give him some crazy
idea to build some Tower in the middle
of a desert for no real rational
reason and the Arab will do it and build
a tower that reaches the
heavens succeed fail irrelevant why
would Hashem give him this money to
build a tower because 400 years later
hem knows that a sadik will go through
the desert and will get hot at that time
and now he can use this enormous Tower
just to for Shake for 5
minutes and then move on his way
meaning loves loves so much that he
literally will give all of mankind all
types of things where there would be a
lot of money clever ideas all types of
things in order to create things for the
benefit ofit for the benefit
of even if this idea doesn't make any
sense to anybody else knows it's for
them it's that may come at some time
just I'll give you a billion and a half
dollars to build a tower that no one's
ever going to use except 400 years later
some Jews going to use it for five
minutes after he use it for five minutes
the tower loses purpose it
collapses but it's worth it to have that
Tower standing in the world for 400
years for the D to enjoy it for 5
minutes that's how what bit means bit
means for is and and there's countless
other commentaries on the word bit you
could probably find thousands thousands
of
lessons uh from that word so much so
that uh ra God bless him he says that
when he was a te
teenager uh alen to have such children
as teenagers do what he did when he was
a teenager he learned that the
GNA a uh came up with a
about the
word whereby he discovered over
600 from the uh the word secrets that
you can learn from the word of 600
different says he toiled in it toil in
to in it and I am sure the G reached
even higher numbers but he says that
when the G was a little kid that's what
he did when God bless him he was a
teenager he tried it also cuz they
didn't report what he found out he says
he got to a
thousand a thousand now most of us don't
even know a thousand
period even if we read them in the book
you got to a thousand from what from the
word and so the point is there is
literally an infinite amount of lessons
to learn from the Torah whether it'sit
or it's a Moshe whatever word it is
there's a lot of lessons next question
we're almost
done you guys are quiet today you're on
strike are you waiting for the camera to
go
off no ah here we go hey you woke
up didn't wake up he was awake just
didn't talk
days whatever so knowing that a lot of
people they'll read books but they don't
remember whatever they read so knowing
that the soul is unlimited would they
remember whatever they read and they'll
be able to do it or it's just something
like before the very good very
good so uh there are the uh tell
us that uh the G specifically discusses
this it says that when a person goes up
to sh and he's going to have to
say some say like you said 40 days
straight of Torah and no jokes but the G
says 180
days 180 days of tah no jokes no sleep
no lunch either no smoke breaks 180 days
of tah so elhan is asking is it only the
Tora that he remembers or is he going to
remember everything cuz you know you
know Tor but you forget cuz your body is
limited so yes you're right that your
Torah whatever you learn during your
life your n remembers your n doesn't
forget your body forgets but your n
doesn't forget so if you learn a lot of
Tora during your life you'll have a lot
of things to to teach on uh you know
during that time of the after 120 you'll
have a lot more than 180
days a lot more than
I'm just wondering are you allowed to
say cuz those could go on for a
while yeah actually some say that is
like says there are two types of unique
teachings that you could only teach
specific people and only oneon-one
and uh one of them is which is the uh
the happenings of the upper
worlds uh so he says that the stories of
the sages is like the happenings of the
upper world meaning that when you see
the lives of the tadim you see how hasem
runs this world because he runs this
world for these he makes them all types
of wonderful Miracles one example is to
see for example people know radya based
on the Torah that he wrote and he taught
but many people don't know of all the
difficulties that he had to endure to
get there so when he was 26 or 27 years
old he was his Rabbi told him that he
has to go to Egypt he has to go to Egypt
and work for the head Rabbi of
Egypt in a problematic
Kaa so radya P his
wife kids picked up and left to Egypt
for the sake of teaching to
he got to Egypt and he finds out who is
the most problematic person in the
keyline Egypt the head Rabbi of
Egypt how much of a problem is the head
Rabbi of
Egypt he doesn't even put
on the head Rabbi of Egypt does not put
on so how do you know this one of the
people wanted to prove to the others he
doesn't put on why he doesn't pray with
everybody so what he would do is every
day he would take he would give him the
clean bag the rabbi would go into his
room into his office and then after a
little while come out and say he prayed
so one day the guy says he doesn't pray
I'll prove it you what did he do he took
out his fine put two onions in
there two onions in his fine bag the
rabbi went after a same amount of time
an hour later came out good
morning for three
days three days same
onions same onions
say at least smell the bag already after
three
days doesn't even put oning that's how
much problematic it
was
also how found this out obviously this
was a very big problem but he was very
powerful and he found out that the head
the head butcher in the Jewish
Community is a problem and a half what
does he do he hires Arabs to do the
which makes it not
non-jew Slaughters the animal it's not
Kosher even if he does the same exact
thing as the rabbi doesn't make a
difference just like
if Slaughters the animal even if he
follows all that it's
not not to eat it so this guy because
it's it was cheaper to hire the Arab
workers no no do the you know you guys
know also how to do go ahead do it let's
go so he was selling the Jewish
Community saw this he he says took away
his K that's it no K the guy threatened
didn't listen to him young kid 27 years
old so this guy this butcher was a
powerful person he hired two
Arabs to kill radya but in an unusual
way how wait from here every day he goes
here he gets to this place you wait on
the roof you pour a whole bucket or
barrel of acid on him
of
acid and that's what happened days two
Arabs went to the roof waited somebody
pass sh acid burning tragedy Hospital
the whole body is burned what they find
out
wasn't wasn't
[Applause]
that the protector of the somebody else
went somebody else went but this butcher
didn't give up
one day he comes up on with a gun to his
head opens go
ahead you're still not going to get
kosher you sold you're still not gonna
get kosher you can chew me though right
the guy was so baffled how he is not
scared of dying he ran away years later
20 years
later already came back to is was the
head Rabbi
of one day he's sitting there in his
office with his father-in-law
all of a sudden somebody goes into the
house and they thought it's just maybe
one of the people in the Kil that uh you
know wants to get some answers or
something who is it walks into the
office gun points at who is it the
butcher from
Egypt he said I still can't get any K
jobs I still can't be a butcher even in
is so his father Ra's father-in-law was
aad he said no no listen he's got kids
I'm older already you kill if you need
to kill somebody just kill me
instead he's got kids so the butcher the
rash say I got kids too how come he
doesn't help me so says I'll help you in
any other job but you're never going to
be a butcher again once you
sold you're never going to be a butcher
again it's against the Torah but I'll
help you in any other job but if that's
not acceptable to you it's better you
shoot me right over here cuz that way
you get it done really quickly right
here right whyem runs the world and
theik knew it wasn't scared of bullets
wasn't scared of threats wasn't scared
of
nothing to have such such that we
understand that the only thing you're
supposed to be scared of is of hem and
sins that's the only thing be scared of
sins why cuz sins are the only thing
that hasem finds disgusting and that's
one of the things that we learn from
our that you see them talk about a lot
of different
subjects but uh the
Mish in a uh m
322 says in uh that when hasem looks at
all of his creation looks at all the
animals the cows the dogs the Lions
sometimes
they're alive sometimes they're dead all
in the hand of
hem some animals smell good to us some
animals are
stinky but to hasem nothing is
disgusting the creepiest ugliest
animal smelliest
animal
to perfectly fine perfectly fine in fact
the mid says
the
dean thean that is hashem's
pet who Hashem is going to allow us to
eat when mashia
comes he is
enormous he's so big that his breakfast
is other
whales
now this
leevan is enormous but the same
token he has the smell of a
stinky don't smell so good when he
breathes
out says the awful smell could literally
kill people so how come it doesn't
affect the world says because every time
it's time for him to breathe out there's
a little bit of heavenly smell hasem
takes smell a wind a special wind that
brings smell good smell from
Heaven to counteract with the smell of
the
livia that's how awfully he smells to us
though not to AEM to AEM everyone is
perfect there is no bad smell the dead
animal that you saw on the way here on
the way there on the road some some
little uh dinosaur over here that
somebody ran over or one of these uh
raccoons that somebody ran over and the
you know skin is over here teeth over
there everything to you it's disgusting
to hasm it's not disgusting
is not disgusting the smell is
disgusting to you and I is not
disgusting at all there is only one
thing that hasem finds
disgusting what is it
sins that's what hasm finds
disgusting that's worse than any bad
smell that's worse than any uh anything
that we can think any horrible looking
thing the only thing that hasem finds
disgusting is
sins so we see here that uh the the
beautiful world that hasem created has a
perfect creation but that creation can
either remain perfect or become
disgusting in the eyes of its
creator will become uh beautiful in the
eyes of the Creator last question and
we'll call it the week no who wants to
go last
with the three Pat the the three the Hat
hatrick it's called hatrick hatrick the
meaning of 974 Generations
ah4
Generations says before hasem created
the
world he already wrote the
Torah with black fire on White
Fire 974 Generations before he created
the world meaning
says that hasem knew that the world
could not
exist without the Torah for too long too
much wickedness would happen too much
wickedness would happen so what he did
is rather than have the world wait a
thousand
Generations before he gave the Torah he
gave the Torah only 26 Generations after
he created the world but yet there was a
rule within the Torah that there had to
be a thousand Generations before mat so
what did he do he took all of
those that would be in those
times that would the world would exist
without a Torah saw all of them are evil
horrible and he said I'm going to take
it and split them up throughout all
6,000 years of the world exist because
if all of these
or even a big part of them exist at one
time I have to destroy the
world so I'll take
974 generation of without a Torah Wicked
and put a little bit in every generation
like seasoning just
nasty nasty here nasty here nasty nasty
in UK nasty in Minnesota nasty in Tel
Aviv here there little bit why to is a
rule in the Tor that made for
himself can't avoid there's a rule in
the Tor he gave rules to himself but the
same token he wants for the best for the
betterment of creation so says he took
the Tor and he complied with it this way
so all of the that you see today or that
you saw yesterday or unfortunately we'll
see tomorrow these were already part of
the original plan 974 generation part
that's
says next week we have on Tuesday and
Wednesday no sh on Sunday no sh on
Sunday I will miss you but uh you can
learn other sh that we will have and
will launch online on Sunday night some
other stuff that we'll make some clips
of try to give you guys some more some
more movies some more interesting Tora
and also remember for anyone who doesn't
know the um USBS with the
uh series 179
