PURIM EDITION - STUMPTHE RABBI (84)

for [Music] we are back on our Wednesday night St Rabbi where uh after a little bit of you guys will ask some questions and will give us the answers tonight's you will be for for a but Su Talia s bana M Stefan Ben Karina and U see second Leora B Abraham and Ben Pinas and also for a for sha Ben faran oshri benis Gabi benis elad benis David Ben nria Ben Abraham sha Ben fan Mara Julie Isa Mara ra and all of is and all of the wonderful supporters that we have that helping us do amazing things I'm getting some uh pictures and uh videos and voice notes from uh different people that have received the uh the gifts the um that we're sending in all of these uh really know how to um show gratitude and uh it's uh really wonderful not that we're necessarily looking for gratitude but it's uh it's nice to see um how much uh you know you could help people and how much you guys are helping people with uh your donations and support uh so uh you know we have our um puim is uh tomorrow uh for some of you it's that are in different countries it's in a matter of you know few hours you're already beginning the first part of puim which is the fast of still uh starts in the morning and continues until after the reading of the meila after the reading of the meila uh even though the fast ends uh before the meila uh is read uh the tradition is not to eat until after the reading of the Miga after you've heard the meila um if somebody's very weak they could get a drink or something like that but generally speaking it's best to wait until after the reading of the migil to um complete the fast uh after that you could eat whatever you want as long as it's kosher uh it does not have to be meat it could be Dairy it could be parve it could be meat whatever you want uh the the main meal of puim is the following dates on Friday uh in the morning is when we're going to do it this year because uh of obviously Shabbat so so uh the reading of the Mah is a uh obligation on both men and women and anyone that's uh above the age of 12 for women and 13 for uh for men but this year pin that due to the Corona virus danger uh that whether you believe in it or don't believe in it agree with it disagree with it none of that really matters there's a leniency that women do not need to go to the betet to hear the meila this year and that's why many betet all over the world are not doing the typical uh reading uh multiple readings of the meila uh like they usually do every year because typically a husband and a wife cannot attend Sho at the same time and leave their kids home and so on so typically most shools have multiple readings one after the other with a little bit of a break in between to allow the people to arrive uh but uh this year I've noticed that many shs are not having that they're not having the uh the second reading on the Thursday night uh some are doing multiple readings for Friday uh but uh the Thursday night readings Mo most of the places that I've seen uh or really all the places that I've seen are only doing a single reading because many women are simply not uh going to go um you know to uh to hear the M uh uh you could read it from your Kash at home to your kids to yourself uh you could listen to it online if you'd like it's not fulfilling the Mitzvah but nonetheless if you enjoy the Mitzvah if you like the Miga and so on it's definitely good to do that uh as far as the um the Miga is uh read on Thursday night then you go home eat relax do what you need to do is uh try to study as much to as you can uh make sure there's no art arguing is aous time to receive salvation from but as we all know when a man and a woman have the uh Merit of having schom then the shows up and shows up it heals all wounds but if there's no SCH the leaves so the most important thing is to make sure there's no fighting arguing bickering uh all of that stuff that uh unfortunately people waste a lot of their time doing uh make sure not to do that on puim or at all but nonetheless on puim if you want your prayers to be answered uh then you have the mea reading on uh Friday morning uh many shs are doing it multiple times in the morning for the uh the crowd that uh pray at nets uh or guys that are praying a little later and even um some of them are doing it in the afternoon uh we put on to fing because uh puim is not considered a yum so so we put on to fill in uh as far as work is concerned you are allowed to work but it's not recommended uh to work on this day it's an supicious day to learn T to Dov to uh to enjoy to have a good time and also you have several MIT to fulfill uh one of them is after you read the uh hear the meila on Friday morning you have to make sure to uh to go home and have a meal and the meal uh should have meat and wine should have meat and wine now if you detest meat if you are one of these people that is disgusted by meat if you uh live in a country where kosher meat is not available aside from the fact that you should move uh you obviously don't have the obligation of eating meat but if you do have Kosher meat available to you then you should eat meat that's how thear says a the Jewish people enjoy a uh holiday feast in order to enjoy it and that is in the the morning that is in the morning and also after that you have to do um the Mish mote it's a make sure to give uh a piece of food and a drink uh you and your wife and obviously any adult in your house needs to do the same thing uh you cannot give the Mish on behalf of your wife she has to give her own uh you could deliver it for her but she has to have her own separate M and vice versa the wife can't uh you know have one Mish for her and her husband she has to have her own Mish that she gives she can deliver it for him but he has to have his own mot women give to women men give to men it is inappropriate for women to give Mish man to men and it's inappropriate for men to give Mish to women unless they are uh you know family unless it's a family in it's your brother it's your sister it's your parents it's your children obviously that's not a problem but a co-workers and uh things of that nature it's not uh really uh appropriate to do it if you're going to do that uh then make sure someone else delivers the Mish and not you uh you know it's a uh there's there's a very thin line there and you obviously don't want to cross it um aside from that this is a uh day that uh it's um say that anyone that comes to you asking for a handout uh you know money any poor person that comes to you for a pour out give it to them don't uh ask any questions whatsoever no verification whatsoever this is a day that you want to be as generous as possible so aside from doing the mat uh for anyone who doesn't know we have a campaign on our website and also so uh you'll see probably uh one of our team members posted in the uh thread the we are giving our which is gifts to the poor in we've have succeeded to get to 300 uh families of 300 families of so not only poor but also which is a very very high the highest level of uh of of gift you know to give to the poor is one thing but the highest level of giving to the poor is to give to someone that's learning tah uh so all of those people that have contributed and are going to be contributing uh to the campaign uh you could rest assure that it's going to be done tomorrow if for uh you know for uh whatever reason uh the uh you guys uh decide to start giving a whole lot more than what we can give tomorrow then we could always give it the the following couple of days in is so um but the point being is is that uh be as generous as possible during this time this is obviously a uh very big Merit because one of the main things that say is that just like anyone that comes to you after the besset and says oh can you give me something don't tell them no no I already donated somewhere else don't do that bring cash with you and give it to to people uh you know or better yet you know put some money into envelopes and already have a few envelopes 5 10 20 envelopes ready with a uh 10 20 $30 in there or more depending on your uh on your financial circumstances and as soon as somebody gives it to you give them the envelope say and move on with your life you've just fulfilled the Mitzvah why should you be so generous because this is a spicious day to ask hm for whatever you want because just like we are generous with others anyone that comes to us we give it to them says anyone that comes to me I'm going to give it to them if you want a child ask for a child today if you want AA ask for a child fora today you want a z ask for Z today this is the day Pim is the day so don't waste your time getting drunk and forgetting who you are uh you know make sure that you pray during this day make sure that you learn toah during this day and really this is a day that uh very few people learn T this is why we actually just made an investment today uh to give uh money to uh 150 to learn Tor for a few hours on Friday on Friday uh uh we had a uh a whole team of people 150 perhaps maybe even a little bit more are each going to get a little bit of extra money uh to learn on Friday with Tani really serious learning not just learning uh you know uh basic stuff they're not going to be watching one of my sh they're going to be learning serious stuff on Friday to make sure there's more and more Torah uh being learned anyone that wants to contribute to that is more than welcome you don't you don't have to but but uh when there's an opportunity to get people to learn an opportunity to do and even more so to help people that are that needy we take it no questions asked so uh and again of course we deal with people that we know so it uh it makes life much easier uh as far as not being worried about uh you know giving it to the right people is he really going to learn is he not going to learn all that stuff is not uh is not of question simply because we've already done the research and all that so with that uh being said you have a puim uh continue you have the the meal you have the Mish manot you have obviously if uh you have some children then uh make sure that they you make it a very festive day get them some costumes have a great time if you haven't bought costumes go buy them don't be cheap uh make sure your kids enjoy the holidays if your kids do not enjoy the Jewish holiday days like it's the greatest day that the world has ever uh had then your kids are not going to want to be Jewish when they grow up you have to make sure the kids enjoy the holidays this is not a time to uh think about your Investments or your job or anything else you have to make sure to spend time with your kids have a good time uh with them and uh spend your money spend the money that you work for this is what money is for money is for you to invest it into MIT uh so uh get the kids some house some uh some uh costumes if you want to get yourself a costume by all means it's a there is a uh some that discuss it that there is a custom uh to get costumes it's not an obligation uh but make sure that your costumes are Kosher costumes meaning if your costume is provocative don't wear it under any condition even if somebody tells you that I'm going to give you a million dollars do not wear a costume that's provocative don't make wear a custom that's insulting uh you know it's a don't don't be stupid uh it's it's not a DAT to be stupid uh a lot of people for some reason choose this day to be stupid where they wear all types of uh awful costumes whether it's a uh uh dressing like a Nazi or like a prostitute or uh whatever it is this is definitely not the day not the day to do it uh if someone uh you know that uh is dressed like that uh you know is in part of your community and uh they ask you your opinion about what you think about their costume you don't have to lie uh you don't have to lie to them and tell them you uh you like it you could tell them that you don't think it's appropriate you don't have to go to town on them but you have you know you have to tell them that you like it uh again it's a uh but also make sure that they're receptive cuz sometimes people are so drunk they want even remember what you're saying 5 minutes man so don't waste your time but point is is that it's a uh if you're going to wear a costume make sure that you're wearing something fun something funny something that's a uh uh uh most importantly kosher uh and uh that's it that's it have a good time after that get ready for Shabbat uh to make sure that uh you know you uh after you uh have your your meal you give you you take a nap take a nap in the afternoon for the guys uh to take a nap during the afternoon and then wake up and uh then obviously you could uh you fulfill the mitv the Rin that you don't know who m is you don't know who ham is it's in essence just going to sleep take a sip of uh of wine if you want beforehand and then go to sleep it's no you don't have to get drunk to the point of forgetting your name uh that's a mistake that people make uh we have a video that we published a few days ago with uh several discussing this topic about over drinking Shalom and others uh that have talked about excessive drinking and how it's forbidden uh and causes a lot of problems this is not a day to make sins it's not a day to make sins if you can't learn to during that day and if you can't learn to at the very least try not to make S it's not a day to make sense uh get ready for Shabbat enjoy shab shab Shabbat is normal Shabbat uh it's a uh you know it's a another wonderful uh Shabbat that you have to enjoy and uh that's it that's that's the uh that's the whole thing now when it comes to um I think that one of the um one of the most important lessons to learn you know from is that this is very much a a uh A Tale Of Our Lives uh our modern lives today you know where you see certain things and certain people um in the world today and you when you think about me is like wow there's really nothing new Under the Sun there's really nothing new Under the Sun you know the one of the questions ask is uh how come aem's name is not mentioned a single time in the Torah and respond that hashem's name is mentioned in the Torah in the M but not as aem's name but rather anytime it's referring to the word me anytime the word me King it's really referring to meaning that hem is is hidden is hidden in the but nonetheless the m is a part of the tanak it's part of the Tora so much so that theim say that once the mashia comes the uh uh the the prophets and the writings uh will uh you know will not uh be valid and the will still be read every year will still be valid what does that mean obviously we know that every word in the Tora including the tanak is always valid so what does that actually mean what it means is that if let's say there was a circumstance where at the time of mashia we would have to pick either me or the writings and the prophets writings in the tanak takes precedence takes precedence of course uh you know m is going to be read every single year uh but including after the time of mashia because it'll always be relevant even at that time even at the time of mashia uh you know whereas the prophecies about the days of mashia are not going to be as relevant anymore of course there's always going to be things to learn but the point being is that's what the is trying to refer so why is the Meg so relevant that's that's really the uh the big question this week we had a couple of where uh you know we had our uh Jewish ashfa based on the writings of the and we had our based on the writings of and one of the uh things that uh we see is that the more and more we learned from the we see that there's when says there's nothing new Under the Sun is also referring to the fact that whatever writings whatever writings you see the write it's not necessarily that they're bringing something new but rather something that already exists just in a different way so you see that all of the writings whether it's the or it's or it's or it's any that has that is teaching you'll always see that it all connects it all connects in the uh writings of the K we saw this week that the K is trying to tell us that it's very important for a person to in their process of doing cha to to get to the point of working on their character traits to the extent of feeling disgust towards undue fality and passing pleasures so this is really interesting that not only he says this but he says it this week that we're reading it as you obviously see everything is from a designing everything at a precise time because what does what does this have to do with me you see that the main reason that the me is even something that we read and why it's relevant today is because of how the whole story starts start S starts is King he rules all over the world he uh as mentioned in his uh commentary on me the says that uh is from the descendant of and he is from Kush he was a uh black man that came from Kush came from Africa and uh and ham came from hodu came from India and thereby we uh we uh see that's why it says that K's kinghood was from K from uh from uh India and Kush from the kinghood and the uh Power of ham all the way to to some can say that that's because at some point in the uh you know in the uh whole in the whole that after 9 years after the story began when Haman was given the position of power the mid is saying actually that Hamman became more powerful than uh than himself in fact mid says that hashem's name is hidden uh so uh deeply during that time uh that uh because am is sinned uh that hasem in essence made ham more powerful than him obviously there's nothing more powerful than a but the m is saying and I've heard this from that uh it's what happened here is that hid himself so much that the Jews were in such trouble that it seemed as if ham can do whatever he want say whatever he want and that would be so that would be so uh and of course had mercy on us like he always had from the from the beginning of creation and saved this before it was too late but nonetheless that wasn't before we did Serious chuva and changed the decree now how did this all start this all started when is could not control their desires could not control their desire to be like the green cannot control their desire to enjoy some good food cannot uh control their uh their physical uh addictions and uh ended up going to the feast ended up going to the feast by now here we see that K says that this this Feast is very much what he's talking about that we need to do chuva for that's what we did chuva for in puim and he says if you want to do chuva you have to fix your desires if you are addict to any one particular uh uh physical uh thing in the world or another whether it's money or it's a women men it's a uh food otherwise this is one of the things you have to do cha for very seriously because this is what got us in trouble in the first place during puim to the uh you know and you see this today many times uh people that uh you know are for all intents and purposes kosher Jews Orthodox Jews they keep Shabbat they keep Kash to keep this to keep that and then you see them showing up as a uh or advocating or promoting or starting well what are we doing oh we're going to have an exotic kosher food uh event we're going to eat food from such and such country we're going to eat this we're going to eat that many times these people uh find different types of exotic food that's uh you know that that is kosher or at least they hope it is and uh and they celebrate it now of course sometimes when they do such things uh you know their actions are questionable and you know why are they even taking so much risk like this group of Jews in uh in England not too long ago uh took a uh the um uh locusts that uh they got and they said these are locust that are mentioned in a tah that are Kosher that yemenites eat uh but all the other Traditions don't eat and they ate started frying these Locust these bugs and uh you know it's kosher well if you're yite and uh and you know exactly which one is which and it's in your tradition for the last 3,000 years then no one's going to say thing about it but you're some uh you know asazi or you're stting eating Locust the question is are you really sure because if you're not if if you're making a mistake here you have a very very serious problem on your hand but even more than that why are you doing this why do you need to eat this exotic food why do you need to eat this such unusual food that you're eating and this comes from the fact that people want to have a lot of tanim a lot of fulfilling their desires over and over again and they want they say listen I'm eating kosher so what's the problem if I eat you know exotic kosher the problem is that if your whole life you're going to be chasing exotic kosher and that means that you have not changed a single bit in the last 3,000 years since the whole story of Pim uh that got us into trouble by going to the feast because this exotic kosher food that everybody wanted to go eat at the's house it was all kosher they wanted to eat the exotic food but what ended up happening it went from exotic kosher to just exotic just exotic exotic this exotic that and they made every sin Under the Sun and as a result of them praising the food praising the plages praising this praising that they became part of a public where a brought out the tools and different things that we used in the BET mikdash say that and it's quoted in's seph that each day brought six different tools that we used in the BET mikdash as a celebration that the bet mikdash is not being built now if is partying that the mdash is not being built among the rest of the amalekites AR rest of the Arab terrorists rest of the uh missionary uh Idol worshippers and so on and so forth and he's doing all of that then you know obviously hasem is going to deal with them but it's not our problem they're doing whatever they're doing but when you have Jewish people in that same party that's celebrating the vet was not built and on top of it they're eating non kosher food and they're now with non kosher women and so on and so forth got very very angry K got very angry to the point where when theim the came to him and asked him to destroy agreed and wrote a decree to destroy is to destroy is is but he didn't do it right away story continued for another nine years hasem gave am is 9 years to wake up and see and realize that they've done wrong and do cha and since they did not the story continued to the point where Haman got into power and almost almost destroyed all of us now from the looks of everything it seems like we're reading the same story year after year but anyone that studies the Meg and looks at the different mid and the different uh stories there sees that the story is more and more relevant to our day-to-day life because of the other things that happened behind the scenes where you see that the uh it's it's not what it seems It's Not What It Seems so the uh R again Shalom he uh in his is seph that's part of the uh collection of Ren's books that they uh that came from his lectures uh and were translated to English and uh this these these books are simply golden it's mamash gifts from Heaven uh he says so many beautiful things here you have to really because for the sake of time you have to pick and choose what to say but you really could just sit here with this book and just sit here until you finish one after another after another after another uh with no breaks even for breathing uh it's just one k after another and for anyone that knows how to speak Hebrew and understands it I would always recommend to listen to his lectures that you could find online uh there hundreds of his lectures uh online but uh really 99.9% of them are are Hebrew uh there's only a couple of them that are in English but his writing were translated to English and from hearing hundreds of his lectures over the years I could tell you that they did a fantastic job translating his lectures uh to English uh and uh in a way that not only that he spoke but in a way that it's very readable uh so uh the books were very very well written so here Shalom he says that uh the mistake of am is during the time of puim did not begin with puim but rather began with sha sha made a mistake by allowing AAG the leader of the king of the amikit to live a little bit of extra time because he rationalized that if he kills him in public along with others and the uh you know the sheep and so on as a sacrifice then that would be a uh bigger Mitzvah he delayed a Mitzvah in order to make a bigger Mitzvah but that's not something that we do so Shaul made a sin in the eyes of a and he says that this sin this sin will be rectified by his descendant how how has this happen because they were the descendants of shimi M was a son of shimi who shimi shim Ben shim Ben was part of the uh family and team of sha and M was a son now who shim shim was the head of the that cursed out DAV in public a what's called a a curse that a single curse means many things no meaning a uh a adulter uh um M he called him a the child that came from a uh ancestral or a wedding adulterous relationship a murderer uh and so on and so forth each letter in this curse meant a different curse that's even worse than the original curse and this shim head of the cursed the now so the says that uh here you have here you have the tun what's this T this T is that sha made a mistake made a mistake but his mistake because he was a sadik was corrected by his descendant why did he uh what did sha do sha in essence used his rational as common sense to do a mitvah which you're not supposed to do that's a way that you're in essence showing you're despising hm's MIT you're not listening to hasem on the other hand he fulfilled a different type of what when the descendant of sha cursed him out he let him live just like sha let AAG live David Let shimi Live and because he let shimi live it brought the Salvation to sha they brought sha and uh and uh you see that we have salvation so now on one hand sha allowing allowing AAG to live is a sin being merciful to him was a sin on the other hand the mercy thatav showed was actually the uh a mitvah mitvah showed his humility showed his understanding and after he did this Hashem made him the fourth uh the fourth part of the to carry because when he cursed him out one of his soldiers said let me just kill this dog for your highness that's cursing you he said no he's not cursing me Hashem is cursing me as it says in Shu chapter 16 verse 11 so here we see that he made aah by showing mercy and sha made a sin by showing Mercy why because Shalom the prophet says there's no peace to no peace to say wait a minute but was technically a in that aspect he was in that aspect that he was but he wasn't the same type of Ras all the time he was a rash in the uh in uh in our eyes because he cursed but in reality according to himself he was a sadik why was he a sadik because he was protecting who he thought was the rightful King which was sha he was protecting who he thought that David was stealing the kinghood he didn't believe that David was uh supposed to be a the next king the point being is that you see that uh the story is not is not as it seems where uh all Mercy is good being friends with everyone is good and more importantly we see that sometimes you have to be merciful furthermore we see that this uh allowing this amalik to uh to live uh has caused us the trouble because that uh leaving AAG alive allowed ham to come from him and Haman is the one that almost annihilated all of is so after Aman was killed and his 10 Sons were killed how come continues to live because the whole concept of ham and Amal as we discussed yesterday is not just a people that's a specific Nation but also a philosophy and this philosophy gets more and more it's the it's the powers e of evil and it gets more and more power as a result of our actions one of the main things that people do to give am a lot of power is by discouraging people from talking about and learning about about fear of Heaven anytime you see somebody discouraging people or even uh making fun of fear of Heaven fear of hem that gives power to Amal why because Amal hated Hashem and had no fear of him and that's in essence theah is a to destroy Amal once and for all to destroy all of the people that talk against another thing that we learn is that that gives Amal power is that when Jews cheat when Jews cheat the Goen in business after we uh learn some rules about uh honest business in the Torah the very next verse talks about the mitvah of destroying amalik so Rashi over there says from here we learn that uh that amalik gets more power as a result of our sins of by cheating and overcharging the uh the non-jews so all of these people that are in the cash advance business that are overcharging go and claim that it's honest business because they came to you and they signed the paperwork all of those people that are selling uh used Goods used Goods as new all of those people that are cheating their customers in commissions all of those people that are doing all types of businesses and cheating the public and of course the public is mainly go you should be proud of yourself you are the supporter and the Empower of amalik you are the empower of Hitler you are the empowerer of Nazi Germany you will cause people to die so you should prepar to yourself that as you build your bank accounts you're also going to build body accounts you're going to kill a lot of people as a result of your act and we pray for you to die every single day because you are a destruction to our nation even if you are a rabbi why that's what T says that's says people that give power to Amal are dangerous people were obligated to now the third thing is that gives power to again in chapter 3 in the section about pu called amal's attack he says the mid the mid in M explains that in seph in the book of Exodus chapter 17:8 where we see that Amal attacked us after we went to after we went toim and they uh this was a place that we went to so what does it have to do with so mid says that is an acronym for something called what's slackening of the hands or weakening of the grip meaning sluggish or procrastination or lack of enthusiasm where Amal attacked the Jewish people because we were slightly LAX in our Torah and our and servitude of when we make our robotic and as if we're doing a a favor we are empowering amalik don't be surprised if there is more anti-Semitism and more people hating Jews right after you show up to prayer and you pretty much started with and you ended up with because you cared less about the pray couldn't wait to finish those types of MIT are problematic why this this procrastination lack of enthusiastic type ofah gives power to this is one of the things the again mentions he says whenever we areax in our Torah and our service of God Amal attacks and the only way to keep Amal at Bay is through absolute obedience to God's Commandments with enthusiasm IC Torah study and Mitzvah observance so here we see that again the world is not as we see it we think oh there's countless articles every day this guy was anti-semitic this show is anti-Semitic this politician's anti-semitic anti-semitic anti-semitic someone sent me a email today saying that I uh this politician was anti-semitic okay great 40 seconds later somebody else sent an email saying look they had a show on television about some doctors and nurses and some patient that you know was a supposedly portraying a religious Jew and they were anti-semitic and then 30 seconds later somebody else sent something else look over here there more anti-Semitism and look over here they're making fun of the Jews in the in the Congress and over here they're making fun of the Jews of in Hollywood and over here they're making fun of Jews in the stores and the communities and so on and so forth what are we going to do about it you know what the answer is chuva that's what you do about it why the only reason why they're allowed to be anti-semitic is because we have not done chuva the we are lack in our mitv unfortunately most Jews don't even keep Shabbat so it's not even lack they don't even keep the mitv this all gives more and more strength to am the whole issue of anti-Semitism is not going to be solved as a result of people's a uh uh uh protests and email campaigns and art articles like you actually think that the anti-semitic people read your stupid articles you say oh look boohoo they are anti-semitic to Jewish people on on the show oh boohoo in the Congress they hate Jews you think they care about your stupid article the only time they care is if their boss is Jewish and he's going to fire them other than that no one cares they're not going to do you the anti-i anti-Semitism are not going to stop because of your AR articles and and your blogs and your campaigns only a is the one that can stop it and the only way it can stop it is if we're no longer lazy with our and laxidasical with our observance of simple so now the interesting thing is is that ham for a long time once he got the power he was doing what's called a lottery and in Persian it's called p p and from there the name pin comes he was doing a lottery of what day to annihilate the Jewish people and again says that this R every day would do a new L but but one of the would interfere with it day after day day after day so he doesn't come up with an actual day to annihilate the Jewish people so the mid uh and also in esta says that when Aman was making was casting these Lots from day to day uh the uh the master of the universe Master of the Universe was approached constantly by the different Angels why because when ham initially decided let's do it on on Sunday so the angel for Sunday came to and said to Master of the Universe on the first day you created the Heaven and the Earth you gave the Jewish people your Covenant of circumcision and the toah and said if not for my Covenant day and night I would not set the laws of Heaven and Earth so before you destroy the Jewish people destroy Heaven and Earth then meaning you can't pick me to be the day that you destroy the Jewish people look how much good you did on my day you created the world you created the Heaven and the Earth you gave the Torah you did the mitah of circumcision all this stuff happened on my day why should I be the day that you destroy the Jews if you're already going to destroy the Jew destroy what you did before that was good destroy the Heaven and the Earth okay so the lot was rejected Aman was not allowed to destroy oh next slot he got Monday which is second day of the week so the angel the angel of Monday came to and said on the second day you separated the upper Waters from the low Waters and the Jewish people were separated from the nations of the world and you told them in the Tor I separated you from the Nations to be mine it says in 20: 26 so before you destroy the Jewish people turn over the upper and the lower Waters meaning why are you going to destroy the Jewish people on my day why you look how much good you did on this day you split the ocean into 12 you separated the Jewish people from the go you made them your own people it's a uh you you you did so much good things you separated the waters upper Heavens lower upper Waters and lower Waters if you're going to destroy the Jews on this day then go back all the way to the beginning bring back the upper Waters and low Waters together destroy the world in so many words okay so Monday was not a day that he was allowed so Tuesday on the third day the angel the angel of the third day comes to and he said says you created plant life from which the Jewish people separated their M their tides and take the on a festival if the Jewish people don't exist how will plant life exist plant life was created on my day and who is the one that sanctifies the plants only the Jewish people they're the ones that use it for your if no one's going to fulfill this Mitzvah there's no point for plants no point for plants it's what's what's the whole world for so don't destroy the Jewish people on my day because doesn't make any sense okay Wednesday Wednesday came to a and says on the fourth day you created the Sun the moon the stars to which your children are compared if the Jewish people don't exist how will the heavenly bodies exist you created all these heavenly bodies and what are these Heavenly Bodies did you created for no reason no the clearly says that hasem created the moon the sun specifically for timing why timing so the Jewish people know exactly when to fulfill their mitv we're not like the other religions that have our mitv done at different random days uh you know we have our MIT specifically at specific times a PES will always be during the Spring no question how do we know what the spring is we have the Sun and the Moon we have a timing we have a new month and so on and so forth goes into a whole precise calculation that's more precise than what NASA was able to find over 3,000 years later of the exact rotations of the Moon how much it takes what's the minimum what's the maximum and so on and so forth so the uh Wednesday came to and said no it's not fair that you're going to destroy the uh the Jewish people unless you're going to destroy the Sun and the Moon Thursday came to and says on the fifth day you created the birds the cattle of which you commanded that sacrifices be made be offered to reconcile you with mankind if the Jewish people cease to exist who will offer sacrifices to you hey look you you created all these animals for what so they can offer you sacrifices even more so Jewish people are the ones that sanctify the animals they're the only ones that could Elevate the animals as far as their neish if there's a tun in there there's a g a reincarnation in it only if it's slaughtered in a Kosher Way is this animal rectified or if it's used as a sacrifice if the Jewish people don't exist there's no there's no purpose for Animals Go destroy all the animals then so the next day Friday comes on the sixth day he says you created mankind of which the Jewish people are the essence as it is written in Ezekiel 34:31 you are man I am your God the says that is called Adam not called Adam what is Adam called not that the rest of the nations are not humans we're not we're not a prejudice against the other nations but rather that is the chosen people that have a different description according to they're the highest level of humanity there is man and there's a Jew and I'm talking about Jew that's is higher than a natural a regular human being but a Jew that is a natur if he's doing it knowingly he's lower than an animal so that's why he's really technically according to the he's not even allowed to eat meat why because the animal is better than him so the point being is is that the angel of Friday came to and said you created the uh man and the the highest level of man is the Jewish people so before you destroy the Jews destroy all of mankind then why you going to choose me is be the day that Aman destroys all the Jews if you want to destroy the Jews destroy everybody and finally the angel of Shabbat the daughter of comes and says to on Shabbat your entire creation came to completion as it is written in the book of schot Exodus 31: 16 and 17 the children of Israel shall keep the Shabbat between me and the children of Israel it is a sign forever that in six days hasem made Heaven and Earth so before you up uproot the Jews uproot Shabbat kill your own daughter so here we see why Ham's Lots failed day after day CU each day a different Angel fought for us each day a different Angel fought for us and Haman cast lots after that from month to month and then he had more success he had more success there's less a uh argument in that case and eventually decided on the seventh of AD the seventh of ad because he figured that's the day that mosenu died he made a mistake because he he didn't realize that mosu he didn't just die on a uh on seven of he was also born on that day so aadim are typically uh the the the highest level of sikim are live and die on the same day says so am knew that M brought the 10 plagues upon Egypt taken the Jews out split the sea brought down the Torah from heaven but he didn't know why chose he didn't know what was so special about M which says in the book of chapter Exodus 2:1 that M grew up he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens so Rashi says as soon as grew up even though he grew up in a the pharaoh's house all the money all the service all the luxuries everything he knew he was a Jew and he saw Isel suffering and he could not take it Rashi says he saw he put his eyes on his brothers and sisters and started crying hysterical for them and mid chapter 1 section 27 says he saw there son suffering and started crying crying and saying to each and every single one of them he go up to every Jew never met him in his life I'll die for you I'll die for you I would die for you I would die for you he just couldn't take it couldn't see his brother's suffering for there's nothing harder than a working day he would tell them he would lend his shoulders and help each and every single one he saw he saw the burdens of the big on the small of men and women old and young he removed his world mantle and went and straightened out their burdens while pretending to be helping par and tah says in Exodus 3:4 Hashem saw that he had turned aside to see and God Called to him from amidst the burning bush so thatu had turned aside from his own Affairs to see the suffering of his children and he called to him and the mid says you left your Affairs and went to see the pain of is and treated them as brothers I will leave the upper worlds and the lower ones and speak with you directly so here we see chose mosu because mosu was the first one and only one in history that put his life on the line for the sake of is when they were in Egypt something that the say in other that if it wasn't foru would still be in Egypt till this day 3,300 years later no one else was willing to do what he did that's why mosu was chosen ham did not know this mosu sacrificed himself for his brothers and Hashem in essence sacrified himself to redeem the Jewish people despite the fact that they did not have Merit to be saved meaning that was saved really on the Merit of mhu so now we see that there's a little bit more clarity connecting to H to the T and so on but again you peel the onion a little bit further you see there's even more to the story when when you have a um when you have am in Egypt as slaves initially we were doing good was there but then later on we turn into slaves and mosu had this sug had this complication and said why are they slaves why are they suffering so much why is hasem allowing these Wicked Idol worshiping Egyptians to kill them to murder 150 babies every morning 150 babies at night just to get their blood and make a bath for par to to annihilate the Jewish people worse in the Holocaust why is hasm allowing this to happen that's what m was asking day and night day and night he was asked this question but then after he killed the Egyptian that hurt the Jew he saw two Jews fighting and when he got involved and told Rashad that had his hand in the uh in the air about to hit the other one which we learn is the the two from the beginning until the end when they died along with and the rest of his followers but this were fighting discovered why is as a nation is in Egypt suffering once and for all where it says what we all read every single year in a uh Exodus 214 that he tells them why why are you hitting the guy why you about to hit him you because from there we learn even if you have your hand in the air to about to hit another Jew you already decreed a rash according to the Tor you don't actually have to hit somebody to be called a rash to be called wicked so then uh they answer him do you intend to Kill Me Like You Killed the Egyption and then suddenly the verse goes completely to left field I will inform on you to and the verse continues and Moshe was frightened and said in truth the matter is known so here we see that these two people that are fighting m is trying to help them and instead of them saying thank you say no we're going to write on you to and from there Moshe gets scared suddenly he's a warrior he's scared of these two yo-yos why is he scared it says he's scared because now the matter is known how is it known they haven't gone to to par yet now the commentary say that eventually they go to chases after but at that moment that the matter is known it's doesn't know what's known so the mid chapter 1 section 30 and 31 says the following says that moment at that moment that the said that they're going to go and tell on mosenu their fellow Jew their fellow Jew they're going to tell to the at that moment mhu understood why the entire Jewish people were Suffering The Agony the rape the murder the everything that was happening there the rape only happened to one woman named sham but the point being is all of this was happening and he knew why finally that matter was known what was happened it filled him with fear after he found this out and it should fill us in fear here when we find out what it this actually means the reason the Jewish people are suffering was because there was musim among the Jews there was informers among the Jews where instead of uniting in their time of trouble they stand up against their oppress their oppressors and standing up against oppressors they turn against each other instead of uniting as Jewish people to help each other out they go tell the police that their neighbor is not wearing a mask what what hold on a second mask no he didn't say mask he did say mask why cuz that's why it's relevant to today instead of uniting because of the trouble that we have with Corona virus and everything else they go tell the police they go tell the government they go tell the authority about each other that they're praying with the Manan to go tell about each other that they're cheating in taxes they going tell about each other they're not wearing a mask they going tell about each other that you know he's uh teaching Torah that's too uh uh too critical to the people and uh he's an extreme speaker and all types of nonsense M says this scared him much more than why because he knew this is a systemic problem this is a systemic problem that that almost has no solution almost has no solution now after he saw this he saw that there's in forers there's Muslim among the Jewish people we then see the M runs away and speaks to him from the burning bush and there are several midashim in uh also in a in a in other places that talk about this bush said it was a th thorn bush the Bush was a thorn bush so why does it want to take a thorn bush so mentioned in his write up on a few weeks ago he brought up the page 60 60 so here says that the trouble the turmoil does not come to the world other than when there are wicked people in the world when these Wicked people make sins problems begin because the these troubles don't start with but rather starts with the so says what are these these are referred to Asim is Thorns so the C the C that's mentioned by Rin explains that why did speak to M from a thorn bush because he says that the thorn bush was a uh burning in the fire but the thorn bush was not consumed so the the CLE God is explaining that the uh fire of suffering comes out of the thorn bush because the Jews are hurting one another like painful Thorns the jealousy the hatred the dissension among each other are making the fire of the suffering burn each other instead of uniting in harmony they crackle like Thorn bushes they speak and this is the main reason why the Jewish people are suffering in Exile until this day that's why it says that the thorn bush is not consumed because the troubles are not over we keep saying about each other we keep saying bad things there's still more and more uh a um people telling on each other going against each other he's this he's that all this different stuff but for the wrong reason if you're calling out someone because he's doing things that are against the toah that's one thing you're protecting other people that's nothing but if you're doing it for your own sake or you disagree or this or that you have a very serious problem why you are the reason why the Jews are still suffering in Exile and the thorn bush is not is still burning because the Thorns continue to exist in every generation that these Wicked people are not destroyed so here we see that there's so much more to the story that connects to the Mig M we see we learn that Everything Is Not What It Seems from the beginning to the end we see that Everything Is Not What It Seems in the beginning we see that Vash she's torturing Jewish girls by forcing them to walk around naked and work on Shabbat she thinks that she's going to rule the world because she comes from royalty what happens to her the exact opposite she getsat she gets punished from where she grows a horn and a tail right at the moment that asks her to walk around naked which she would happily do so because she was a but because she became as ugly as Sin she refused to come and therefore she got killed was me measure for measure she made Jewish girls work on Shabbat and a uh uh and walk around naked made her as ugly as can possibly be and therefore he ended up killing her so we see here that that's a story that we all know what do we all not know perhaps that theph in in says if you understood the Hebrew I just said you were like but if you didn't I'm going tell you exactly what I just said the said says something out of this world out of this world V started off terrible terrible she eventually says had to come back to the world to complete her tun as what as a cow she had to come back to the world as a cow but not just any cow she had to come back as a cow that keep Shabbat and the the says in the in other places that there was a uh there was Aid that had a um a cow and uh one day he sells the cow to some and uh the takes the cow the bull and uh sees this works works works but then on shabat doesn't work he hits it he pulls it he tries to feed it nothing can do the cow doesn't work so he comes back to the Jew and he says to him Hey listen I don't know this this this cow you sold me this T that you sold me is is broken it doesn't we to work so the said oh I forgot oh hold on a second one second I'll fix it don't worry I'll fix it fix it why I tried everything I tried to feed it I tried to pull it go no no no this a special cow I'm going to talk to the cow so the talks to the cow and says to to you no longer work for me anymore and your new owner is not Jewish you don't have to keep Shabbat anymore you don't have to keep Shabbat the looked at this said what this is really going to work yeah go try it so he tried it he saw it and he sees the cow works on Shabbat all of a sudden at that moment that had a got something out of the what happened this cow knows what the Jewish shabbat is it doesn't work on Shabbat and I'm not even I'm not even Jewish I don't know what chabbat is this is I I have to check it out long story short this ended up going to the mid learned Tora converted to Judaism and became one of the named T what's r t the son of t and the same says who is this that converted who is this that converted to become one of the this is a meaning and how come how come Al though he started as an anti-site r in the ended ended up good he saved the Jewish people and he got the Merit to convert the Judaism because he killed amalik he killed Haman because he killed Aman hasem says I will reincarnate you and give you an opportunity to be a Jew you had an opportunity to be a Jew when you were Li married to Estel you couldn't because of what was happening politically and so on but because you killed am I'm going to give you an opportunity and reincarnated came here we see that the story completes itself even more why because had to come back Vash had to come back to fix her sins of causing am to violate Shabbat what she do she have to come back as a cow that keep Shabbat and not only that a cow now that causes somebody else to keep Shabbat who our new owner the go that ended up converting to Judaism so see here here we see here that again the story is not as it appears furthermore and I'm almost done as a million and a half other things to talk about but I know you guys probably have some questions but there's just so much more it's just purely delicious delicious this this and all the things that are brought in the different just delicious you talk about this for five hours you see that a uh ham H H had the the whole world bowing to him and M under no condition under no condition will pray to him bow to him with nothing now just so you know the time of is the according to um the and not uh it says there was the same time was where Plato these the famous philosophers Plato and the Theon was was was around during that time during the time of M and uh no matter what no matter what a uh Haman did he couldn't get M to even recognize him to to pay attention to him into nothing in fact every time he would come by him all M would do would show him the bottom of his feet why the bottom of his feet because that uh before all of this happened both modai and ham with Generals in the Army and since Bai was a sadik he taught his soldiers to be sikim and to contain themselves and not be pigs soon as the food come don't eat everything because you're going to need it over a period of time so they had reserves ham ham was amalik ham was a fat Indian guy that couldn't contain himself for anything he saw woman he raped her he saw food he ate it and so were his soldiers his soldiers couldn't contain themselves so what happened they got a delivery food they finished everything the next day they didn't have any food so they told h no give us food he said I don't have any food say listen so the soldiers told him if you don't give us food we're going to eat you you look delicious you look nice and chunky and delicious we're going to put you on a grill so Aman got scared to death he ran to M said M please help me we're in the same Army says no why would I help you he said because they're going to kill me goes why do I care if they kill you you're an idol worshipper you have idols on you you have a some say he had his Idol was in the shape of a swastika many of the amikit the Nazis obviously had the swastika but others also mentioned that swasa and even to this day there are uh Hindus that love the swastika in a uh connection C with Nazi Germany and so on apparently it has something to do with amalik but the point being is that uh the uh ham begged m m refused until Haman said okay you know what I'll sell myself to you as a slave I'll be a Slave for You Forever he says okay fine you'll be a slave we going to write it he goes I'll write it here give me something to write goes we don't have paper what do you think this is Staples over here we don't have paper over here all give me your shoe and they wrote the contract that Haman is selling himself as a slave to moai Forever on the bottom of the shoe of M and that's when M gave food saved his life but that's also why that's also why every time a man would pass by m m refused to bow to him why he says you're my slave I own you you're my slave look look see the shoe I own you so we see here again there's more and more to the uh to the story um another thing is that's very interesting is that uh at the end of the story of the meila we see that a uh um hamman's daughter kills herself after she throws her waste the filth that came out of our body out of the window she thought that she was going to throw it on M but it ended up landing on our father on ham the question is why is what does that have to do with the story like why does you have to throw that why don't you throw I don't know vegetables why don't you throw anything else so even this has a uh a explanation to in a commentary on on page 16 says that Aman wanted that his daughter would marry a he wanted to kill vashi because he wanted his daughter to marry so he could be the father-in-law of the King's Daughter of the king's wife but what would the do each time each time that uh when was looking for women every time her man's daughter would show up she'd have stomach AES and start releasing every single hole in her body would release and her she was filthy and disgusting her mouth started smelling her body started smelling and she would constantly have to run away from every single time he wanted to uh to be with her and because she had to relieve herself constantly and this is why the Ben says is that this is what she threw on M why because this punishment from Heaven on on haman's daughter pretty much having stomach problems didn't go away after uh ended up picking EST she continued have being punished and having these stomach problems she was constantly in the bathroom and eventually what she do she wanted to throw her bathroom on top of modai but she ended up throwing it on top of her own father and after she saw she did that she committed suicide because she couldn't live with herself so uh here you see is that there's more and more and more and more to the story I'll finish off this section and I think it's worth it to to tell you how it's a uh all all everything makes sense in applying all of this to today to see how the Torah is like an onion you take a layer another layer another layer you see there's more and more same thing with our relationship with hem same thing with the world around us you can't judge things at face value a lot of times people are judging different because they said one thing that they didn't like or they agree or disagree with somebody's opinion or their opinion and many times people ruin their own lives because they go against they go against the Tor as it make sense to them and so on and so forth my R told me this and I think that there's nothing nothing more true than this statement and he says no matter how smart you are when when you are at your best at your best and he wasn't referring to me but literally anybody me included anybody any human being when you are at your best your logic is pure stupidity next to A's logic when he says when a says my thoughts are not like your thoughts that means that doesn't even think in a same vicinity and Avenue as us we can't think like AEM so when people try to figure out why is AEM doing this based on their logic they're always going to make a mistake always guaranteed why because says I'll never think like you your best logic your best argument of why I'm doing certain things on your logic is is is is never going to be it the only way you are ever going to know why I'm doing what I'm doing is if you're looking at my logic how can you know my logic you have to look at the Torah cuz the Torah is my logic tah is my thinking is what hasm says so many times we see things in the world and we don't understand and we think oh hm is punishing hm is this is that you have to understand everything is everything end up being the opposite everything ends up being the opposite ham thought he's going to kill the Jews he ends up being hung on the same tree used for mod you know a uh you have a they tried killing they end up getting killed himself the Satan the mid says the Satan kept trying to take the snake that they had on the water out of the water butel kept putting it back in there because he wanted them to try to kill and get caught you know in the beginning is mocked and frowned upon for not bowing to uh to uh Hamman and uh and causing a lot of problems for the Jewish people he ends up being the savior of the Jewish people which he by the way brings that uh that was actually the The Reincarnation of and ham was the The Reincarnation of yob this also in he says that that's also part of the reason why would never bow to uh to ham because uh that was part of the T where bow where where yov bowed to to one time as a show of respect to make peace he had to make a tun for it and that's why M could never bow to uh to Hamad but the point being is that mulai was frowned upon yelled at by the Jewish people of why he's causing all these problems now the Haman wants to kill all of us because of you he ends up being the one that saves them uh Estel was a 70-year old woman 75y old woman with greenish complexion ends up being the queen that every everybody finds beautiful so much so the says that she looked to people as the most beautiful woman of their own Nation whoever looked at herem put a specialen special Beauty on her that anyone that looked at her she looked like the most beautiful woman in his of his own Nation because people like the people of their own uh countries point being is everything is opposite everything the opposite and and and many times when you read the M you can't read it as a story you have to read of the whole lesson behind the story which is that whatever you think that's coming from your logic it's more likely that the opposite is true the opposite is true when the talk they're not giving you their opinion they're giving you a they're giving you a which is in line with's thinking because that's how hasm told us that's how he thinks so I'll give you an example and then well I promise you'll finish this part I heard a story from he says recently recently there was a group of people they wanted to make a uh young orphan happy give him a mitvah the kid doesn't have parents doesn't have any money so he said let's have a uh Bal mitzvah for him a party for him and they asked the kid listen what do you want what do you want for the Bal Mitzvah and the kid gives him a request nice and good what does he say I want this singer to be in my uh in my Bal Mitzvah now the kids F the people are FR so he's not asking them for uh some uh some garbage that's asking for a sadik singer but it happens to me that the singer that he's asking for is the most popular religious Jewish singer that is in the world today so meaning expensive but they asked them what you want they didn't know he's going to ask for this but now they have to deliver so somebody gets the phone number okay let me call the singer he calls the singer the performer he said listen we have a bar mitzvah for a kid I want you to come he go okay sign my contract no no no no no contct contract what do you mean no contract you got to come for free what's free I got to make a livinga I'm already suffering already because of this Corona virus is less shows it's less everything what do you I got to makea he say listen be a man she's an orphan an orphan case you got to help out so guy say oh okay okay you know what fine okay Noah comes performs for the kid they have that's it doesn't feel free a day after the party somebody calls the performer again the singer again he says listen I'm sorry to tell you we have we have bad news what was bad news we just found out the kid you know kid you perform for yeah he's such a good kid no he's definitely a good kid and uh problem is that we didn't know he had Corona virus no that's all I needed in my life that's what he's thinking right now why anybody would think like that not only did I do mitvah give this kid a free show but I'm getting punished for and get Corona virus now oh what's going on what I say I don't think like you I don't think like you my thoughts are not like your thoughts what say says your logic at its best is pure stupidity next to's logic and let's see how he plays out this story this true story the singer verified the whole thing he says this I thought I don't understand what's going to happen but everything's from hasem next thing you know he's not working for weeks no parasa nothing after a month he gets a call yeah hello yeah hi we're calling from such and such organization we uh want to do a whole tour of shows for uh nonprofit organization and we want you to be in every one of the shows okay fine okay well listen is this price good enough for you they give him a price that's even better than what what he meaning he's making even more money ah okay is rewarding me for doing the Mitzvah doing the Mitzvah that I did a free show I did a free show so is giving me a reward giving me 10 times what I uh what I gave up right it's not it why my thoughts are not your thoughts says pays everything to the last penny but then the uh organization said he says to organization listen uh how did you find out about me he was well actually one of the main guys in our organization he went to a party for an orphan kid and he said you were performing and then he heard that you perform for free and after that he said listen since we are an organization representing orphanage and you know kids that are orphans and so on he said if this guy likes orphans that much he has such Mercy for Orphans we have to have him as the main guy for our tour for our whole show for our organization multi-million dollar organization we have to have him such a guy like such aad we have to have him so the guy says wow you see that you do who did me a f first not pay cash but remember it's not thinks yet why you're finished he's not finished then they tell him the seal of approval he said listen there's only one condition what's the condition the only condition is to the contract we'll give you the money we'll have the tour you have all this is one condition what's the condition we're only able to work with you if you already had Corona virus because we know if you already had Corona virus statistically speaking you're less likely to catch it infect others and so on that's how K thinks that's how thinks and even these few little diamonds that that we just found from the story I bet you anything it's not even the beginning of the whole story there's a lot more to it but here we see is that the main lesson that you're supposed to learn from is not just what happened to us but why it happened and not just why it happened and what happened but also the lessons we can learn from all of it to apply to our life and how all the whole story is being told where you cannot judge a book by its cover you cannot judge your life basically on how it looks you cannot look at things that way why doesn't think like us when we do what says we're supposed to do he will do everything possible which is beyond our imagination to make sure that we're rewarded until the last penny if he has to re reincarnate some Wicked person that hurt us into a cow he will do it if he has to make us Kings he will do it if he has to do all types of things you will do it but remember the reward doesn't look like what you think it would look like many people pray for the lotto don't pray for theot you're limiting hem you're limiting hem pray for salvation pray for to elevate you to help you overcome your tendency desires and addictions to your own foolishness say you know better than me what's best for me please help me see clearly help me see clearly that your hand is the one that's walking me everywhere with that being said let's take some questions hopefully was enjoyable and informative enough for you that it was worth the extra half hour or so that we went let's see see okay David if a woman is 8 months pregnant as a and she converted two weeks before delivery what is the status of this baby is this baby born convert or uh what's status if the woman converts before the baby is born the baby is born Jewish baby is Jewish 100% Jewish Natural Born Jew if the uh woman converts a a minute after the uh baby is born then the baby has to convert which means that he would dip together with the mother in the mik uh to uh to convert and then would have to come back when he's considered an adult which is 13 for boys 12 for girls uh to go in front of the bedine uh to uh say that they want to remain Jews but if they convert uh a second before the baby is born then the baby is considered 100% Jew why Didu kissu when he first saw her in even though it was before they got married because sawes that she is his Z she is the other part of his she is his and uh that's that's the main thing um next how I know how it's supposed to treat Jewish holidays I know we are not supposed to observe them but should we just treat it as a regular day uh depends which holiday if it's sh sh is Judgment Day for the entire world so even non-jews need to pray to hem for salvation uh and also forgiveness and to do chuva and so on Yip on the other hand which is a day of atonement is only for the Jews uh other Jewish holidays a uh again they're not a uh they're not uh uh holidays for the world they're holidays for the Jews mostly but there are some holidays that have a lot to do with the non-jews with the no es for example Sukkot is a time where the Jewish people will bring sacrifices to the bet mikdash for the sake of the safety of the 70 Nations so uh this is a this is a time where uh the uh the non-jews uh you know should pray extra and uh and do whatever they can they don't obviously fulfill the mitv of the Jewish people but they don't necessarily need to treat like another day it is a little bit more than another day so each holiday has certain connections uh to uh to the Jewish people of course and sometimes have connection to the noids you just have to find out a little bit more about it again the noahides do not have any special mitv they need to do on any of the Jewish holidays uh but you know they can use that day to pray use that day to uh uh to to enjoy themselves use that day to to rest they could use that for anything that they want uh but uh again it's a uh they could also use just simply go to work um question is if Shimon donates 20% M and makes one B chuen oh but but ruven pays 10% and makes 10 who is more meritorious very good question so if Shimon donate 20% and he gets one b and ruen pays 10% and he gets 10 who's more Meritor ruven ruven is more meritorious than shim because he got more B so you asking the question how come Shimon who donated more money let's say if they assuming they both make the same amount of money uh he donated let's say $2,000 and Ruben donated $1,000 but yet ruen gets more results why is it that way so you have to understand that in order to uh to succeed that the uh Heavenly uh uh uh the Heavenly court before it allows anyone to get a merit of helping another person do Chua they look at his actions they look at they review his actions and they see if he deserves that Merit if he deserves that Merit and that's also what says that the reward of a Mitzvah is a Mitzvah the the uh the punishment for a sin is another sin meaning that the the Heavenly Body sees the the court sees what kind of actions what kind of actions did this person do aside from donating $2,000 or $1,000 and they see look this guy donated $2,000 but he also waste seed this guy donates $1,000 but he doesn't waste seed so where do the Merit go to it goes to the guy that donates $1,000 why because he deserves more more even though he donated less money his actions deserve more than the uh than the other guy uh so the point being is is that it's not just about the quantity but rather the uh the actual results of the Mitzvah the results of the Mitzvah and that's also one of the things that each and every single one of us needs to pray for you need to actually pray for to uh to give you a opportunity to do me to Dov why because sometimes there are certain people that they donate a lot of money a lot of money and they don't really get any uh any reward for it they don't get any results out of it you see a guy donates a million dollars and what do the million dollars goes to it goes to a group of scammers that are really not even building a new organization they're not even doing what they're saying to people they're doing in fact they're doing the quite the opposite they're using the money uh against the toah they're giving the money to missionaries they're giving the money to uh casinos they're doing all types of things that are against the Torah so why would such a thing happen to a person why would such thing happen to a person so this two is in thear this two is in thear where it talks about a uh uh Jeremiah Jeremiah Was aad KES kashim wases K and uh he cursed he cursed the he cursed the because he said look these they uh think that just because they have money they can buy themselves into heaven so the page 16b says that Jeremiah the prophet cursed the rich Wicked people to make their donations at night what's the difference making donations at night anyone that knows a little bit knows that the night is a time where you have to be very careful with certain things because the night is a time where the the other side has more strength more power this is the reason why you should not read just for the sake of reading or even the just for the sake of reading uh during that time if you're reading it for the sake of trouble or for the sake of learning you're allowed but if it's just for the sake of reading like reciting it for your bar mitzvah or just for the sake of practice don't do it at night why you're doing a Mitzvah that type ofah at that time it actually taunts taunts the the other side and they K cause trouble so what happens is that Jeremiah says let these Wicked people make their donations at night why make their donations at night because since they don't really mean well with their donations they don't actually care if anybody does chuva with the money they don't really care if anybody uh learns to with that money because they themselves don't Lo T they themselves haven't done chuva they themselves are making sins they don't really care they're just donating the money because they want to look good they're just donating the money for reputation they're Dona the money for Cav they're donating the money because they think that's what's going to buy them Heaven while they make all their sins so let them donate at the money at night so they the other side sees that they're doing it and it's not a legitimate Mitzvah and they're going to take extra revenge against these where not only not only are they making the mitvah not not good but the money will be used by Wicked people and will go to Wicked people and will not give them any re wward whatsoever and that's what Jeremiah cursed the wicked people with so you see here that the torat teaches us that that you know allows righteous people to get uh certain merits and wicked people to get certain obligations because of their actions where even though somebody may be donating a lot of money it doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to get a lot of results out of it because they could be Wicked people and if they're Wicked I promise you nothing good is coming out of that money nothing good is coming out of that money why that's the promise of the tah that's the promise of the tah the money that actually helps people do chuva learn Torah and build holy uh uh uh places is only coming from Good People solid people why because that's one of the rules of the world that's one of the rules of the world so much so that the ask how come how come hasem allowed the bite of the bet mdash the first bet mdash to be destroyed why because SCH used the help of that were not righteous that were not righteous therefore it didn't have uh the the right to exist forever didn't have the right to exist forever same thing goes on with the second bet mikdash there was also problems over there the uh the point is is that when you have Wicked people that donating and they stay Wicked it's there's no B in that money there's no B in that money and that's what you see that a lot of times these people donate millions and millions of dollars they usually donate it to waste of life organizations organizations that don't bring any good any Torah to the world nothing you know and even if they call themselves a tour organization you'll see that those organizations they don't have anything good coming out of it they have a lot of people that are Heretics they have a lot of people that are uh you know minimim they have a lot of people that are off the they have a lot of a lot of problems and you see this a lot of times with these people that uh these so-called uh you know Jews that are uh rich but not religious and they donate money to uh Ben bre and to uh all of ncsy and uh and all these places you see what do these organizations do a lot of times these organizations do things that are considered Val sins that it's better to die than to S than to make that sin these organizations they have uh a uh Gatherings of Jewish boys and girls uh and they say in the name of Judaism we're going to make sure that they go to is and they go do this and they go do that what do they go do they go make all types of sins of the Tor boys girlso and you see millions and millions of dollars are donated to those organizations so you say how come so what the guys that are donating millions of dollars to these organizations what they're Wicked for sure they're Wicked how do I know cuz I know who they are I know who they are one of the main Founders one of the main Founders and the uh donors to these organizations is the guy uh uh that just died the guy that just died that owns casinos in uh or owned casinos uh in in Las Vegas the other guy is a uh former hedge fund manager uh he has a book called no bull uh Michael steinhardt is his name Michael steinhardt this guy's an atheist he doesn't even believe in in God and he is one of the biggest donors for those organizations Jewish organizations he's an atheist the other guys and they donate millions of dollars billions of dollars they donated over the years to all types of organizations it's all buiss why because Jeremiah says if you're Wicked you will donate at night where not only your donation will not get to marit but it'll actually cause you harm because it'll taunt the other side and it'll bring you trouble and you see that's what ends up happening now if somebody that is notab donates to you uh during the week of money that he made during the week not money that he made on Shabbat do you reject it some would reject it but many said not to reject it why because maybe now he actually is doing chuv so give him the Merit maybe this will give him the Merit to do Chua but the point being is if he stays Wicked and that's as a result of your teachings then of course you know you're Wicked yourself so you're not going to care but the point being is that you have to know it's not necessarily the money that counts is also who's donating and and how much effort is going behind it is you have to have merits to help publicize toah and uh one last thing I can tell you is that somebody came to the and said to him I'm trying to build the do all types of good things and I'm going from place to place and I'm collecting literally uh dollars at a time whereas this Christian Missionary is a opening University on the first day he got not only everything he asked for times 10 the guy was looking for 10 million got $100 million one day how come says to him he said you see you heard in the tah it says that there is the uh the uh the cities where uh hasem has in order to protect the Jews that killed another person by accident there's a special City for him and a uh so he could escape the family that wants to take revenge because he didn't do it on purpose he could Escape over there right and to says specifically there's a law that you have those cities in the mountains and you have a lot of signs a lot of signs to those cities why so when the person is going to that City he's he's running away and he doesn't he can't can't afford to get lost but even more so he can't afford to get lost and go you know go uh knock on somebody's door hey by the way you know where that city is where uh you know say oh wait oh you're murderer you're murderer ah the guy is going to get embarrassed so to says commands us to put a lot of signs so he knows when he's on the Run he knows exactly where to go he doesn't need to ask anybody get directly there but on the other hand says the bet mikdash no signs no signs to doesn't tell you to put a single sign for it why because wants you to get lost why you're going to get lost you're going to knock knock on somebody's house hey by the way you know where the bet mikdash is he said you know what yeah bet mdash he's over here over here over here and then the kid listen goes I want to go to the BET mikdash really okay y let's go we're going to join you we'll go to bet mdash together they get lost again hey you know what the mdash is there's no signs oh you know what I'll come with you come with you before you know it they're like a uh you know the uh uh they're bringing you're bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the mdash as a result of getting lost because there's no signs so the says you know wants that guy that publicizing heresy University secular education he doesn't want to get him publicized he wants him to get directly to his destination so he gives him the money right away you on the other hand he wants you to get lost why when you get lost you go from City to City to City to City collecting one dollar at a time what does that mean hashem's name is spreading in more places more people have a merit to be part of the Torah hem wants that wants you to collect the money from more and more people so more and more people are Partners in the uh sanctifying of aosh whose name and raising and praising the Torah itself just like the BET mdash did not have signs because hm wanted us to get lost in order to meet more juice to get them involved Hashem wants you when you're doing real authentic to struggle to struggle to raise money because he wants you to raise it for more people for more people you'll see and have seen it from my own experience that when you're raising money for non- koser organizations you'll see two seconds they raise every money every dollar they want plus 20% two seconds kosher organizations especially the more kosher the more difficult oh we're raising a million dollar 4 months later $5,000 what happened what not Kosher no sometimes wants you work harder for it that's just the reality it doesn't necessarily mean that every organization that uh you know rais a lot of money is not Kosher but what I'm trying to tell you is that it's you know sometimes you'll see that the non- kosher organizations are raising money like it's uh it's on its expiration date or something people are just throwing money at them whereas the kosher organizations that are doing the will of hasem and doing things that are above and beyond what everybody else is doing struggling to raise every penny that's just the reality just a reality I can tell you just something that happened recently there is a uh and again I'm not even calling the other organization not Kosher it's just just a reality in the English speaking world no one can debate this no one has taught more about than we have in our organization between myself and R we have something like probably 150 200 about between Hebrew and English English is over 100 Hebrew probably around 50 maybe more so a lot of T teachings and so on and so forth so people donate the T movie T campaigns that we have and so on and so forth but we're not getting Millions off of it whatever people donate 10,000 a year 5,000 a year $5 a year $2 a year people are donating because they want to do but then you see sometimes somebody comes up oh yeah we have a bunch of people praying in a synagogue they're not going to teach you a single thing but they're praying in a synagogue for the sake of T in literally a week1 15 $1,000 oh why where you how who what's going on that's just the way it is that's just the way it is wants you to collect it from people that have merits not from just a uh all all right away it's the way it works it's a difficult battle to to to deal with it psychologically but when you realize that Hashem doesn't think like you then you realize that who are you to uh you know uh to ask Hashem how he's running his business next question how should a husband act with his wife when rebuking her for sins that are not KCT and does he have to take her feelings into account if she is very emotional uh yes a husband should not rebuke his wife at all if he wants to stay married he should not rebuke his wife at all if he wants to stay married if he wants to get divorced continue rebuking her continue uh you know disagreeing with her continue insulting her continue making sure that she cries every day make sure but cry Cal tears continue doing it every sin she does she forgets dying she forgets to cook on time that way for sure for sure you'll get divorced quickly and enjoy becoming part of the statistic but if you want to stay married learn of marriage you'll see the ramb say raan pits a husband has to give his wife more Cav than himself more honored than himself lover has himself and more honored than himself same thing with the wife wife has to make her husband a king and he has to make her a queen you don't rebuke queens and you don't rebuke the the Kings so what should I do go to the rabbi go to the rabbi say listen Rabbi by the way my wife she such and such can you do me a favor maybe talk there her maybe the raban can talk to her or if you don't have such a rabbi Maybe write her a note listen honey by the way I think you should watch this Sho well what you is it it's really good and she happens to be about something that she's doing but you're not telling her directly you have to be very careful very careful rebuking your wife horrible horrible idea horrible idea the only type of rebuke you would give is an indirect rebuke by simply suggesting that she watch she about a topic that you I've not even told her you have a problem with but with her but he tell listen it's a good sh you already saw the sh it's about modesty and you know she's not modest you know this she's about and you're not telling any of these things why you want to stay married you want to stay married husbands that rebuke their wives are terrible terrible people and really they uh they you know they end up being becoming uh you know miserable because the Wives end up hating them the wi end up hating them and it's the same thing goes where uh you know if if the wife start rebuking the husband every two seconds that's never fun it's never fun and and the husband will end up cheating on her and and hating her and vice versa the same thing so you have to know if you want your wife to do chuva it cannot come from you it has to come from a rabbi if you say no no but she doesn't like any Rabbi then find a rabbi that she likes yeah but she doesn't like anybody then why did you marry her why did you marry if she doesn't like well she like uh the church what does she like no she just does the mitah because she grew up that way that doesn't mean then no way she has to like somebody she has to like somebody somebody connects with her have that person be the one that tells her what you want to tell her because if it comes from somebody else she's more likely to change and she won't get offended but if it comes from the husband or vice versa if it comes from the wife to the husband many many times it'll create a lot of problems and it'll create tension and it'll create animosity and eventually it'll create a uh you know uh dis distrust cheating and you know even divorce so you know you want to help your spouse do cha you have to bring them the teachings a uh from somebody else from somebody else uh now if you're going to say wait hold on a second but didn't weren't you the one that told your your wife uh about Christianity being fake and so on and so forth yes I wasn't rebuking her I was giving her information I was getting from my Rabbi and other rabbis that's what I was get I wasn't telling oh you are Idol worshipper I hate you none of that stuff I you know I treated it with care and made sure I had the uh uh the information I would present to her to uh to uh you know to review on her own I would drive her crazy because every day I would give her a whole entire uh you know book report of different things that I found every day but the point being is is that I didn't rebuke my wife one time not one time uh and my wife is the biggest sik that I know if I could be a sadik like my wife I think would just take me to with she what you know so again guys do not rebuke your wives girls don't rebuke your husbands you want to help them show them sh Show Them sh they don't want to watch use your wisdom to get them to watch you if you're a girl use your wisdom to get your husband to do whatever you want to do just like if you want to get your diamond ring just like if you want to get you a vacation just like if you want to get you a $5,000 dress that you can't afford you know to get that right okay so get to was sh the same way guys just like you know how to get her to cook you the food that you want give you another kid do this this and that what do you do ten give her give her give her give her some money give her some uh jewelry give her some vacation give her everything and tell her this comes with a shield too Cancun okay Cancun the kosher section but with a shield from rabone Rabbi this and Rabbi that comes with a USB that's what it comes with the diamond ring yeah diamond ring is uh is diamond ring it's connected to a code what is the code the entire M series that's how you get them to do Chua don't not from your words you rebuke your husband and your wife you're going to have a very very uh tumultuous relationship a relationship that you are going to regret and uh I think it's a fantastic fantastic idea that you asked this question hopefully you're asking for somebody else uh but nonetheless I really do appreciate that you asked this question it's a very important question Moshe why is there a need to redeem a donkey when it's born because of toah said so that's right that's the only reason toah said so that's why we do it um okay the rest of you are answering him thank you very much for answering him but the only answer is that what's the connection between cities that had a wall in the time of Yoshua and shushan having a a wall uh City's having a wall actually the uh the holidays celebrated on a different day you look at the uh the city that have a wall which really in today's world is only they celebrate on a different day than the rest of the world this year happens to be that the whole world celebrates it on Friday but usually uh Jerusalem celebrates Pim on a different day than the rest of the world because it's a city that has a wall look at the the whole tractate is about this whole issue of a wall without a wall and so on and so forth uh Charlie can you explain what seeking shelter in Hashem means is it AA or service uh seeking shelter in in hasem is in essence Al it's salvation Salvation from hem for hasem to protect you for hem to uh to guide you for hem to give you Clarity of all the different uh difficulties that you have and and and how to deal with them uh for you to know where to go and and uh and that you're going in the right direction that's in essence seeking shelter for hasem where a person sometimes uh you know relies on his own uh on his own uh uh knowledge and his own intuition and so on and and makes many many mistakes and uh David says all I want is your shelter why David was a genius genius sadik and so on but he wanted shelter why I know if if it's your shelter for sure it's the best for sure it's the best so when a person is seeking shelter is seeking that protect him that show him the way clear the way he knows that he's going in the right direction and not a direction that perhaps the Satan is making F yob in my school almost all the kids talk about movies in TV and a lot of them randomly jump around and scream like crazy I am 17 and 12th grade in a modern Orthodox Yesa how can I try to ignore all of this so none of the and foolishness gets to my head or affect my AEM is it possible to be in touch in such an environment and still grow to high levels of kadus I'm not there 247 thank you uh well the first thing I would suggest to you is I've said to you other times in the past is to leave the school not to go to such a school at all I understand you're a senior or or getting there and you're uh yeah you're a senior and uh leaving there could potentially risk this that the other thing being in such an environment a single day is not good for you a single day a single minute is not good for you the uh the foolishness the stupidity the heresy none of that stuff is good for your n now can you survive continuing to be there sure you can survive continuing to be there but you're taking an unnecessary risk so the advice number one is to simply not go back to school that's the advice number one uh the advice number two is let's say for example if your parents put a gun to your head and tell you if you don't go to school we're going to shoot uh and you obviously continue going to school then my recommendation would be to pay attention in class solely to what the teacher is saying hopefully if the teacher is not a heretic himself uh pay attention if the teacher is a heretic then don't pay attention to him bring a seph with you and just read the tah uh learn tah as much as possible during the uh uh you know the uh times there breaks or in between class and so on make sure you run away from everybody to a corner and go straight to a go straight to some that you're reading or or perhaps turn on a app Listen to sh so you don't have to listen to the L that's the uh only way uh it's a very dangerous path uh to be in such a place but nonetheless uh hopefully the uh second suggestion could work um but uh the first suggestion is still better can a man dress as a woman on Pim no I've been seeing this the past couple of years in some from communi is there a pass for teaching levitic no there is no pass you're not allowed to dress as a woman uh not on P not any other day um I know how allowed to tell other Jews that aren't modest to be modest are no I allowed to tell other Jews to modest I mean I recommend that you do it indirectly you do it indirectly which it means like I mentioned before send them about modesty send them a book about modesty send them a write up about modesty rather than saying hey you're not modest you look like a this that's not going to work it's not going to work send them a lecture about it send them a uh uh you know a book about it something like that uh that is a more uh appropriate way to do it to say it uh outright I don't recommend doing it uh number one because it is uh a little bit too uh invasive number two they're not really going to take you seriously because you're not Jewish uh and the only people that will take you seriously are people that observe the Torah already and don't need your advice because they have enough and therefore they'll learned from anybody that uh that has even if they're not Jewish but when you have a somebody that uh is not modest obviously they have no so therefore they're not don't expect them to listen to you so the best thing to do is to give the uh the chance of your K to work is by having us do it instead of you send our lectures to them our CDs to them are USBS to them and so on so they can watch the lectures and if they don't watch the lectures they then just keep sending another one and if they tell you to stop then you can ignore them for a little while and continue sending it and if they block you move on to the next customer simple thank you for loving my thank you for learning with me uh do non-jews have mitvah Mitzvah age no they do not uh mitvah means the day that the boy accepts the MIT on him he's obligated on all of the mitv and but MIT means that the day that she's uh obligated to fulfill all of the MIT since the noahides are not taking on the MIT at any time they're already obligated from birth to observe the noahide laws uh there is no day that they're accepting it the day that they're born is when they're obligated to fulfill all of the noahide laws uh there's no uh separate day for them whereas a six or eight or niney old Jew is not obligated to uh to keep uh the the laws because he's not considered a adult yet um but at that age it should already start training him as a side note so already start training the Jewish kid you know even at Birth you should train the kids to know what mitv are and make sure they listen to T and different things that are relevant to Tor uh sometimes people use my lectures as a think for their kids to listen to sometimes they use uh something that's a little bit a uh more kid-friendly uh has some uh Tunes but still teaches the I've recommended many times uh Torah live uh they have some good uh videos there I know my kids enjoy a lot there's some other organizations that have some stuff and organization will also have some things in the future uh the point being is is that uh you have to train the kids already to observe MIT from the time that they're born but as far as them becoming truly obligated to do it it's during the B MIT non-jews don't have such thing to listening to if you are a Jew you have to uh a Jewish male and a woman actually you would have to go to a sh uh to listen to it with a uh with a tiul or have somebody or yourself read it from a Milla scroll you could read it yourself from a scroll uh or have somebody else read it to you a scroll but it's better to uh read it from a scroll with aan with a with the people it's better that's preferable but if you have a scroll then you could do it yourself or have somebody else come to your house and do it for you uh reading it from the uh from a book is not a it's not fulfilling the Mitzvah of of the M uh but nonetheless it's a this year there is an exception for women uh that not to go to the synagogues and to stay at home and if they want they could you know read it themselves or somebody could read it to them from aash uh but that's only not because it's now to learn from from them but rather because they're relying on the that say that women were never obligated to hear the meila in the first place uh so they rely on those uh Pim this year when you have a two day hug two- Day holiday like where you may not lights fired you have to cook for two days when you have to cook for two days uh to have the uh meals beforehand I technically you could either cook for the two days ahead of time uh or on the uh there's uh on the Yum you're allowed to cook but only do fire to fire meaning you could only uh in Florida it's not really relevant because most people here have electric stoves so you can't do fire to fire in electric stoves so in places like New York and uh other places that have uh uh stoves that are gas stoves uh then you could have fire to fire where uh you could have an existing candle lit the whole holiday and you could light the uh this the the gas stove that way uh but but then uh you uh uh that's for the sake of cooking only uh on on the holidays but uh that's if you want to cook on the holiday not allowed to do that on Shabbat just on the holiday you're allowed to cook for the holiday uh our way is and many other people's way is to uh cook everything before the holiday and just simply heat it up on a hot plate during the holiday uh just like we do on Shabbat instead of heating it up on a hot plate uh uh uh on for one day on Shabbat and we he it up for two days you know for two days or whatever the time May is so you cook everything ahead of time you leave it in the fridge when you want to eat it you know an hour two hours 3 hours before you want to eat it depending on the food you put it on a hot plate that's already on from the uh before the holiday stays on the whole time and uh you just put it on top of it and it heats up takes a little time and uh you got yourself a uh hot meal Rashi says on Esther 11 that when it says it means he was a rash in the beginning and a rash at the end how can this be if he became a called uh like I said he uh he was a rash in the beginning uh he was anti-semite later on he was more righteous because he had uh uh um Esther as his wife he knew she was a Jew he protected the Jewish people he killed ham M was his main person M lived for 400 years uh or 305 years after the whole Haman situation uh so he had some merits he wasn't a sadik he had some merits enough merits to be reincarnated as a that would be given the opportunity to convert and that doesn't mean that he was guaranteed to convert he was just simply given the opport opportunity to convert and he took the opportunity converted all of the people that are converting today are are people that Hashem said promised to them that they would have the opportunity to convert but not everybody takes advantage of that opportunity I've met some people that when I first met them uh they uh you know they were willing to die for Judaism but at some point down the line uh that feeling changed and they completely not only abandoned it they became uh in some cases anti-semitic uh so I mean it's a somebody can be given the opportunity to convert from shm where they have an unusual desire uh to convert unusual desire to learn unusual desire to do but if they don't fulfill the will of hem in certain things Hashem can simply pluck it out of their uh of themselves of their nefes and they literally do not uh want to convert anymore I know actually just uh recently just recently a uh a couple that I know that uh literally if you looked at them six months ago they she he looked like a rabbi she looked like a raban now in their old themselves they'll both look like uh gangsters on at least two or three gangs but they changed you know groom themselves different cover the hair the beard the this the that they start look like Rabbi and raban but they weren't even Jewish but they were looking to convert and everything is good I love T I love this I love that but then I realized that they're not really doing what the rabbi is saying they're doing whatever they like so a few times I said something to uh try to get them on the right path it uh didn't uh go so well each time there was a different problem drama cases drama this that it got really really annoying to be honest with you but because I'm trying to help the person I don't get anything out of it but it's people think that uh I'm I'm out to attacked them or something anyway long story short as the picture would go on eventually what ended up happening literally and overnight overnight they decided to abandon everything everything abandon everything all the books all the Torah everything and they went back to being waste of life in one day one day and I'm talking about these people were glued to the tah and the rabbis and the videos and everything for probably four or five years is and one day went back to being closer to Amal than to being a Jew one day why removed it removed it from them and I've seen this multiple times with other people I told you guys a story maybe a year ago but one guy nice guy who had a unusual uh desire to convert really really nice guy even set up a few sh for me was a uh but what was his t was money was very very glued to money eventually gave him enough chances after four years of giving him chances he failed all of the opportunities and for literally for 200 bucks for 200 bucks Hashem you know he didn't want to invest $200 into moving uh into a Jewish Community not that he didn't have it he didn't want to do it simply he wanted to wait for another deal a shish took his desire to convert alog together and he went back to being a anjuan simple unfortunately probably going to stay that way so it's a sad sad reality but it's just uh it happens it happens also please where is found it's a book it's a book it's a um I know says that one of the 10 Miracles shown in the Holy Temple was that the high priest didn't have Emissions on y if this was a miracle wouldn't that indicate that even if we guard our eyes we are still likely to have emissions thank you love sorry for asking something no it's a good question uh if a person guards his eyes and he is married and he fulfills the Torah and he prays for to uh uh to um help him then can protect him to the point where he won't have emissions uh it can happen from time to time as a result of food that he's eating or not being careful with certain things uh but it'll be definitely less frequent the uh the special prayer that uh happened at the time of the uh Temple was that uh the people themselves were so righteous that they didn't even have uh the missions that happened from uh other circumstances uh because the people themselves had protection from Heaven this wasn't the case in a second temple because the second temple the many of the wicked people that were buying the priesthood they weren't really uh chosen for the priesthood they were Wicked so all of these uh things that happened in the first temple uh and the Miracles that happened in the first temple did not happen in the second temple because they were very Wicked uh I'm here giving at night no you're not maybe I didn't explain myself right if a person is wicked if a person is wicked that means that the staka that they're giving is not for the right reason so therefore Jeremiah prayed for that person that's giving takaka for the wrong reason meaning to get honor for it to uh to get respect for it to get uh something else for it that's not for the sake of tor so Jeremiah prayed for that person to give theira at night so they get harm as a result of that Saka whereas someone that's righteous someone that's righteous and is giving theira for the right reason whether Jew or Gentile they can give takaka at any time at any time they can give takaka because they're doing it for the right reason uh and the are actually being destroyed as a result of their sta but a person that is is wicked and doesn't want to do the right thing uh then uh it's if they give staka at night they get punished for it even further that's the point I guess I should have maybe elaborated a little further uh about this point Sorry same thing life going to hold question okay Bernie is true that leim will become Kim and there won't be any leim anymore uh no not that I know of hello my name is Susan I'm in need of your immediate attention and assistance please respond to the message immediately Susan this is not the place sorry does no I have an obligation to rebuke it is a moral responsibility it's a moral responsibility uh to help your uh fellows uh and again you can rebuke and directly or indirectly you can rebuke by telling somebody outright that they're doing something wrong uh you could rebuke by uh showing somebody they're doing something wrong by giving them a lecture and so on and so forth but I would say that uh this is definitely something that uh the noahides uh need to do and may even be oblig needed to do as a result of the no height commandment to have a court system the point of a court system is to tell people when they're doing right or wrong so if there's a court system tied I'm sure that there's an individualistic court system that's also responsibility of every human being if you see somebody that's constantly hurting the public stealing lying cursing and so on and so forth it behooves you to uh to you know to tell that person something to at least uh either warn other people or warn them uh if they continue this Behavior why is it that Ruth converted before marrying B if she was already married to Naomi's son a Jewish man do I have the story wrong uh no you do not have the story wrong the uh theim say that the reason why Naomi sons died is because they married two Goot they married two non-jewish girls they married two non-jewish girls and that's why Shem killed them uh and but when uh but one of those non-jewish girls Ruth was really a righteous non-jew and she wanted to convert but the husband didn't care he just wanted to be with with her anyway he was like one of these secular people that doesn't care if uh if the girl converts or not even if the girl wants to convert such a girl needs to leave with such a person but the point is that Ruth uh survived her first husband because he was wicked and she was righteous and Hashem gave her the opportunity to convert and uh she converted and became uh the most important uh woman convert that ever lived she was the mother of the mashia grandmother I just heard about the you in New York so people can carry outside their homes on Shabbat is this a kosher practice Yeah there is Anu is something that uh is part of Judaism it's a rabal mitvah and it's in most Jewish communities have a uh anazi it allows Jews to uh carry on Shabbat yes can I donate uh no the needs to go to a uh the poor needs to go to the poor also should I be exact or give more than oh no the rest of the question is not relevant uh when there is no Kiva in the country and one is forced to study at home where kids are running around and a wife calls to help out very frequently is it more worthy to get up very frequently to help her even though it won't let him learn straight for for a long time or is there other good advice yes if you are in a study session then you need to let your wife know that you're going to be in your room studying and to Simply treat it as if you died for those two hours or one hour or whatever time but she has to agree and is a woman that builds meaning that she wants you to study but also she has to be able to handle it uh so if she's sick if she's pregnant if she's recovering from pregnancy and so on and so forth sometimes she'll need you more more times than I but no woman needs a husband 24 hours a day uh so there should be Slots of time where you're able to study uh for a few hours 2 3 4 5 hours 20 you know whatever it is different people different times but you need to have an agreement and a discussion with your wife to in essence show her the uh benefits of you learning but even more so the uh uh the The Joint partnership joint Partnership of you learning so she invest into you uh so you say listen Okay from this time to that time every day I'm going to study for x amount of time and she agrees that no matter what she's not going to bother you during that time and uh that's the way to do it if she says listen I'm not going to bother you but the kids are going to bother you they're going to break you know smash on your door they're going to do this they're going to do that then my next suggestion is to go somewhere else leave your house for those few hours go to uh uh somebody else's house go to the uh uh just a library or go to someplace quiet go to uh you know somewhere that's quiet and there you can study and there's no people and there's no one that can bother you um last question and we're done for the night and the week but no hide I'm thinking of buying Rashi is this okay for me I know you said no I should work on M do you recommend books for this yes okay so uh there is a whole list of books that we recommend for uh for people to buy uh the M books and uh about Judaism about T and so on and so forth now Noahs need need to learn both the uh tanak and mus those are the two primary issues that the noahides need to learn Jews need to learn those two plus other things like the laws which is and so on so as far as the uh the common denominators both Jews and non-jews need to learn M and tanak now when I say tanak that means the uh the five books of Moses the writings and the uh uh um the prophets which is a total of 24 books with commentary by Rashi now you don't need to buy all of them at one day you can buy one book at a time with commentary by Rashi without commentary by Rashi don't buy it why it won't help you you won't understand a single verse the way you're supposed to understand it by yourself so yes buying Rashi commentary on any book is very very good highly recommended I personally recommend for people to start withit uh the uh uh the uh the first book of the Torah uh you know children usually when they go to theel little kids they actually start learning Leviticus but that's because it's an old tradition where they start learning about the issues of Kus and therefore they'll become kushim but in general for for for adults that are learning from the beginning they should learn from bit with commentary by Rashi and built from there as far as M yes M books I would recommend a book uh I really recommend the whole series by that we have on our website I mean some of the issues are pertaining only to Jews some of the issues are pertaining both the Jews and non-jews because he talks about M 99% of the time uh so the m is very good again all is by Blazer and his RAB path of the just or it's also called is also another one uh the way of God which is by theal um you have um qu quite a few you have obviously Ys M's book is full of M um you have a um uh is probably the first m you know commentary P Arch did a very good job on it and we have a whole series about P so I would recommend people to learn that um there there's quite a bit there's quite there's quite a few there's quite a few musar books uh that you could learn but uh you know point is is that uh you shouldn't learn too many at one time uh learn one at a time uh ra vdo Miller wrote many books M books uh you have uh quite a bit of books uh in you know as far as M as far as how many have been translated to English also quite a bit also quite a not as many as but uh also quite a bit so thank you very much for learning with me remember that during a time of um puim is a time for us to celebrate but also to destroy am to destroy Amal uh on a regular basis Amal is not just the people but rather a philosophy a thought process a warped ideology and as the prophet Zar says after is destroyed after the wicked people are
