Welcome everybody. Thank you all for coming. Uh second lecture in Los Angeles starting our trip after here. I'm going to Denver and from there to Miami and then New York. Matashem, if you have family and friends there, please advertise that I'm coming. We're going to have some uh wonderful, wonderful lectures. So without further ado, there's a lot of hype lately uh coming from the side of prophecies of uh of what's waiting for us, things that are happening. It wasn't like that a while ago. I think it's only lately that people are looking for more assurance to what's happening. And uh sure enough, hashem we have a lot of books full of prophecies that we can uh kind of read them and see where where we holding. And uh the prophecies break to two groups. There's good prophecies and there's not good prophecies or to say the least bad prophecies. There's there's no in between okay prophecies. There's either very good prophecies and there's also very bad ones. The question is that is the real question is does it really matter to you? Yeah. You woke up last week or month or year woke up Monday in the morning saying, "Oh, I wonder how my stocks are going to make. Let me go check the prophecies." No, you didn't say that. And actually in the last uh probably who knows what I don't think you ever woke up in the morning wondering I wonder what our sages said about the situation with Iran right now. Let me go to the books and see the reality is not it doesn't really bother most people what prophecy say when people are under stress or when uh see what's going on in the world. Not a lot of people run to the books to see what the books say. They either try to figure it out or it's not much of a a thought process of most people. Most people are busy dealing with their challenged life running after their own tail trying to make ends meet and not many people have time to really think of what did the prophet said about this situation. So really when you're thinking about it, does it really matter the prophecies? Does it matter to anyone? Anybody of you sat one day, you know, scratching your head, oh my god, no, you didn't. So why does it really matter what the prophecies say? You know, there's a lot of good prophecies and there's a lot of bad prophecies. If you focus on the bad prophecies, we're not doing so well. But on the other hand, there's good prophecies. And the rule is that a good prophecy has to happen and a bad prophecy can change. If there's a bad prophecy, then one can do a certain action and the prophecy can change. I think it's uh less important right now about each prophecy how much of it will happen is possible to happen. It's less important at this point. And I'll tell you why. because I see it already that we're not 500 years ago, 1,000 years ago that uh things can really uh change with this time. At this point, we're already at the end of the line. So, how much more changes can be? I mean, Hashem can pull up from his pocket anything that he wants, but the reality is that we're always at the end almost at the end. And how do we know? Because we're we're basing it on prophecies. Now again, if it would be some maybe or it's not 100% then ah but when you have very clear prophecies and you actually see it happening, then for the next ones you need to pay attention whether it's positive or negative. If you analyze both sides, the negative prophecies all bring to the same thing. just disasters, disasters, Armageddon, huge wars, tons of tons of dead people and stories that goes on and on and on that when you read it, you're like, "Okay, it doesn't sound that great. Not so convincing being there." uh all the negative prophecies are under the title of a war and uh the main prophecy that we know of as a war is go magog and I'm talking only prophecies that happened that's that's supposed to happen not what happened already so we are already facing a very big war one of the major prophecies that we all know on you don't even have to be so learned to to hear about that war of go half the world heard of go magog. Now if we really attach the prophecies to to their reality, I don't think most people really realize what does it mean go magog and to what extent it is and uh what impact it would have on the world. If you actually really read a little bit about the prophecy, it's really no other word to explain it. End of the world. It's the end of the world in other words, which I don't see it as the end of the world. I rather see it as as the new beginning because after that, of course, comes kibbuty, the gathering of all the nation of Israel, the Jews back to Israel, building the beta midash and so forth. But when you're looking at the details, you know, you just read the prophecies of Zalia, it's I don't think most people can digest it. Now, when you look back at what happened in many situations, I'm sure if you would tell a person prior to World War I or two what's going to happen, it also would be very hard to accept. But when you practically read the actual prophecies, that's something that can happen tomorrow. Literally can happen tomorrow. There's a a a prophecy in one of the midrashim saying how uh the year that Msiah is going to come, the leaders of the world s starts provoking each other. They're all starting to provoking each other and showing each other their might. And then a disagreement comes between the king of Persia and the king of Arabia. In our days, Persia is Iran and Arabia is Saudi Arabia. And then the prophecy says that the leader, the king of Arabia goes to the king of Adam to to discuss options to ask for help basically. So we see that a situation like this happened already and the king of Arabia came to the king of Adom. He came at the time it was before Trump, it was Biden to ask for an opinion to talk. But the prophecy says that then comes the after a process of a few actions, the king of Persia rises and destroys twothirds of the world. So this can happen tomorrow. Trump can attack Iran and the king of Persia rises up and destroys twothirds of the world. Can you see this happening? Of course it can happen tomorrow in a click of a button. Now I know comes all the political opinions. Does Iran have nuclear power? He doesn't have nuclear power. It doesn't really matter. The fact is that tomorrow it can happen. That's a fact. You see that the provocations between all the countries is there. The military is there. the re the the the the what's called the how would you say it in English the the reasons there's enough reasons so people just live their life everything's fine tomorrow it can happen not that I'm wishing it by the way I'm not wishing it and many people told me how are you going now you're leaving Israel before the attack how you going to come back how they going to close the airports what are you going to Oh, so I'm no prophet, but I don't think the attack is anytime soon. You don't have to be a wise prophet to figure it out. You just have to know history very well. And in history, every time that there's threats, nothing happens. And in history where nothing hap, there's no there's nothing then happens things. So there's too much threats right now. So nothing's happening. Too many movements. Aircraft carriers are moving. Missiles are being shown everywhere. Nothing's happening. Go back to the summer when Iran and is and when Israel and America did attack Iran. Did you hear any threat before that? Did you hear about aircraft carriers moving? Nothing. Quiet. And even BB and and Trump met smiles everything. So you don't have to be such a genius but you have to see what's happening. Besides the fact that one should not be afraid of anything. If one should be approached with the question are you afraid of what's happening? You should only be afraid of one thing is how you doing with Hashem? How much sins you have? That's what you need to be afraid of not to be afraid of of a nuclear attack. You should be afraid of Hashem and how bad your situation is in front of your Hashem. What's your report with Hashem? That's what needs to scare you. So really, when you bo when it all boils down to prophecies, a if you read all the detailed prophecies, there's a lot to be scared of. It doesn't sound so nice and honestly it looks like exactly how it's going to that direction. Doesn't look like it's going to go to a different direction. But nevertheless yet we have probably much more positive prophecies than negative prophecies. So one might say okay I'll just wait for the good prophecies and everything will be fine. Now comes a problem that this is really what I want to focus on tonight. I'm not going to come now and start reading more prophecies and uh start analyzing the good ones and the bad ones. I will summarize it by telling you the bad ones are telling us that there's going to be a big war. The war is going to be a disaster. There's going to be a lot a lot of dead people shalom. Twothirds of the world will be destroyed. Now you can imagine how the world would look after such a thing. The reality that that for if something like this should happen, nobody's prepared for that. Maybe a hundred people around the world have a bunker. That's it. People like you and I don't want to say me. People like you and you are not ready for that. Okay, you you understood the hint. So, but most people are not ready for such a situation. Even for a regular blackout, are you ready to deal with a three-day blackout? No. No, you don't. Right. The Koshbu is very merciful, very kind and very transparent in many cases. So he kind of brought us a promo for us to understand what's going to happen and who's the bottom line that controls the situation. So five years ago, actually six years ago already, right? Wow. Time flies when you're having so much fun. So six years ago showed us who runs the show and he showed us all the options what can happen and how it will happen and that you can't control it that nobody can come and say whoa whoa whoa that's not fair we didn't get any warning and Hashem gave us our warning six years ago how things can go down how things can go bad in three seconds gates of countries close things shut down and really six years ago was like a really like a joke. It was not even warming the engines of what can happen or will happen in all aspects. I see it more not as as a governmental drill or whoever is running the show. I more see it as a sham telling us I'm giving you the first pulse that you understand that the second pulse is coming too and the second pulse you might want to be a little bit more ready for that. And when I'm saying ready, by the way, it's not about buying batteries, solar power panels, and food and all that. That's not going to help you much. Being ready is how are you doing with the kadosh? That's how you get ready. The prophecies really how I summarize them is not to give us necessarily a road map of options is to make you understand that if you don't stand on the right line or you don't follow the right order, then the bad prophecies will catch up on you. And if you put yourself in the right position, then the pro the bad prophecies won't touch you, won't affect you. Rather, the good prophecies are going to be what's saving you. And I'll explain it in a very simple way. David says in chapter that you read every day hopefully, if not you should, but he says they're very very simple. Of course, you have to read the whole chapter and see the context of the chapter. But the verse says a thousand will p fall from one side, 10,000 from the other side. Nothing will touch you. Nothing will come to you. Now, what kind of a promise better promise than that can be? I told you already about six years ago the drill that Hashem made to show us what's what can happen. So we also had in October 7, two years ago also Hashem is showing us that love, mercy, all that is great. If I need to slaughter you, I'll slaughter you. Did that 85 years ago in the Holocaust and many others events that we were slaughtered. So Shem is kind of confirming with us that I love you very much, but if I need to slap you across the face, you're going to get it. What I saw very clearly on October 7, besides many atrocities and other messages, I saw the a thousand will fall from one side and 10,000 from the other side and nothing will got nothing will touch you. Where did you see it? When you see a field of people running through a field, thousands of bullets are flying from all directions. Some people unfortunately get hit and die and some run through the field like nothing happened. Now, how can you run through so many bullets? You're talking here about 500 terrorists shooting automatic weapons. Every dead body had at least 10 bullets in it. And there are people who ran through the bullets. I met a soldier that the entire base was attacked and murdered. All all the soldiers in the base were murdered. 40, 50, 60, I don't remember. Everybody besides one girl. And they found her under a pile of maybe 20 other bodies. And she had, I think, I don't remember 17 or 18 or 19 bullets in her body. And she survived. And she's walks she's not crippled fully comprehension nothing happened just the whole body's holes this is Hashem wants you to survive the [laughter] whole world will collapse and it will stand and nothing will happen. So when I look at prophecies, I would say that 10 years ago, 15 years ago, I would look at prophecies to confirm the road map and to see how much time do I have to get my act together to analyze the prophecies when, what, and how. It's it's not we're not supposed to even do that. We're not required to do that. The prophecies how I see it and how I learn it is to make me understand where am I holding tomorrow will come the redemption. Are you ready? You ready? Yeah. You? No. You ask me if I'm ready. >> Are you ready? >> No. So, we have one lucky star and the rest of us are not ready. The reason why I'm not ready because I know in different way how it's coming. It's going to be very hard to digest it. Just imagine how Hashem brought any other redemption in the past and that's the final one. Imagine now you would go now in the time machine to Egypt and see one year of all the plagues. Can you imagine in your mind how something like this looks without losing your mind? No, because we are normal people. Can you imagine now seeing five billion frogs on the here running here in the on the street? No. You would lose your mind. So I choose not to look at the prophecy as the action. A it's very scary. It's very scary. You know, I'll tell you straight out, no filters. According to all the prophecies, there's no future to this place. If you want to listen to good advice, you wrap your stuff and you leave this land. Adom, nothing's going to be remain of it. Whether it's going to be tomorrow, in a year, or in 5 years, I don't know. But this is a dead end here. Anyone who stays here according to how I see it is not going to use other words to insult anyone. But if you're already going with prophecies, Adom doesn't look doing good. The end is that Adam gets destroyed. Adam do is America. So, and many other prophecies connecting. Oh, I wouldn't leave. I left here 10 years ago. You remember? I left I lived here. I lived here in Los Angeles with you, but I already saw 15 years ago what's coming. So 10 years ago, I packed up my stuff and left. Not waiting for the last moment. I know all you are waiting for the last moment with a big denial. Ah, it's not happening. It's not going to happen. It can happen. Ah, [snorts] Trump loves us. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. And by the way, he's not such of a good of a friend of ours. Don't be so charmed, okay? We don't really have any friends. The Talmud says very clear, don't count on anyone but our father in heaven. Some leader doing some kissing. I don't buy that. Sorry I'm saying that. Don't don't don't think we have such a good friend. You saw how he went all the way to Venezuela to take what he wants and the same way he's going to do that with Iran and many other places. Don't you think we'll come the day he's going to come to us? And don't get me wrong, I'm not talking politics here. I don't take sides. No Republicans, no Democrats. I think all of them are I don't want to say what I think of all of them, but I don't have any sides here. I don't take sides. I vote for Shem. I vote for Mashiach. I don't go after politics, after leaders. I don't believe in either one of them. I don't believe in either one. I don't take any sides. No, they're all for me. One big show. It's Hashem doing a puppet show. And the question is, what are you taking from that puppet show? And the reality, nothing. That's it. Most people don't do nothing. Why? because you have a lot what to worry about. You have a mortgage to pay and you have kids to take care of and you need to do car payments and I'm not talking right now holidays and spending. I'm talking about the basic things. Educating your kids, taking care of your kids and everybody has a pile of problems from here to tomorrow. I don't know anyone who sits all day long and files their nails and everything is la. No. And if it is, something's wrong completely in the system. The reality is that we all have challenges, difficulties in all aspects of our life. Which by the way, all that is just to make you realize that you need to do chuva. All your challenges, you want challenges to stop, start doing chuva. Start going back to Hashem. All your challenges will disappear. Every challenge that you have right now, whether it's financial, emotional, physical, mental, it doesn't matter. It's Hashem pulling the the the the wire, how do you call it? Like a rubber band to just for you to to to realize what you need to do. And the reality is that most people don't realize. And again, it's I'm not here tonight not to hurt anybody's feelings, not to insult anybody. It's to make everybody realize where are we holding. In one way, we are in the most in in my eyes the most exciting period in all history of mankind. We might see the coming of Mashiach. Do you understand? You you then you also don't understand. I I believe we're in one of the most exciting times that our sages were waiting for this time. We might see it with our own eyes. Can I ask anyone maybe? Can you bring me a a tissue? Sorry. Sorry. Your country here has a lot of radiation. [laughter] You're laughing. I'm not. I come here, I start tearing. I I I don't know how you live here. You don't feel that. I know you don't feel that. I come to this country, I start tearing. I get all sorts of rashes. My eyes are burning. I mean, you don't feel the radiation, right? Or the chemicals that are you can you choke here. I don't know how you live here. I actually don't know how you live here. No offense, but you know, but when you live in in such an environment, you don't feel how bad the situation is. Go out for a week or two and you'll feel it. I gave you once and I think I gave this example in this show. Exactly. About the toilet attendant about the guy who works in the toilet and he when you come and you wash your hands he hands over the towel to you and a mint sometimes and he expects a dollar for what did you do? You you did this. You want a dollar? But he lives in the he he he works in the toilet all day long. You will go in there. The smell of urine, it's like and you tell how do you walk here? I don't smell nothing. Well, we're in your toilet all day long. You don't smell how bad it is. You go in for 10 minutes. So, I come here every few months. I'm telling you, it freaks. Not saying shalom. I'm telling you to offend anyone. Trying to make people realize [snorts] you don't belong here. Neither neither one of you belong here. You all belong in al here actually. But let's go back to our prophecies. When I look and read and learn, I don't necessarily look from where the missile is going to come from because there could be many different ways, many different ways how this can happen. And you know, for many years, I thought go Magog is just a nuclear war. which I realized very quickly that it's not necessarily a nuclear war. About nine years ago, 10 years ago, I gave a class should go and look at it online. Somehow YouTube didn't remove it like all the other ones. It's called Msiah is coming. Are you ready? And it's a two hour, three-hour class. A lot a lot of sources, a lot of information. And in that class I unders I explain how I understood at that time this going a decade back what the zar is talking about go magog saying that it's a war of thoughts a war of gigim and how the war is going to be controlling everybody's thoughts to a point that they're going to drive everybody crazy and you see it physically with your eyes happening this war of thoughts because you are all controlled with this little box that you're holding and you don't even realize how controlled you are. So the gigim the war of thoughts has begun a long time ago and has great victory over all of you. You're all prisoners of this little thing besides a few champions here that have a, you know, an old phone. >> I have 3G. Where I live, I have 3G. I'm not laughing. I go to run in the forest. There's no service there. I can disappear there. And they follow me. They I always there always drones following me. So no freedom anywhere you go. But uh most people and again it's again not about insulting, not about my point is that you go out from this door tonight with a plan, not with a broken heart. This was planned. These devices, everything was planned. Do you know the experiment they did? Don't remember now all the little details. Maybe you heard of it many years ago. They took a a rat and they did an experiment. The rat with a red button. You know that experiment? >> You heard? Some of you are nodding. They they made some device that the rat would uh press a button, a big button. And it would be easy for it. And every time it would press a red button, the rat would get a a dose of a very small dose of of drugs. And it got to a point that the rat knew already to go and click the the button. At some point, they brought into the to the cage a female rat. Nothing. The rat went to the red button. At some point, the rat died of hunger. It just went and pressed the red button non-stop all day long. It just wanted that little fix. You are the red brats. I mean, the the rats and the red buttons. That's what they did on humanity. And you constantly need to press that thing. If you don't press that thing for a few minutes, something goes on. You I'm not joking. And if you all think I'm joking, give me a phone. I'll give it back to you tomorrow. I'll answer your calls. I'll don't worry. I I'll answer. She's not here right now. She's in therapy for the 24 hours. Let's see. I put it to, you know, test yourself. Say goodbye to your phone for a few hours. >> Shabbat here. >> Tomorrow I'll give it back to you. Shabbat. Shabbat. You know what it is? Shabbat. Not to be with the whole phone. Once it was the cigarettes. Now it's the phone. I see how Shabbat. Everybody's like somehow the phone is in the shabbat. Everybody's like, you know, it's like Shabbat in a second and a half already on the phone. And again, everything that I'm saying is for you to to take home and think about it. Actually, think about it. The sad reality that today you can't do almost anything without your phone. That's how sad the reality is. Banks and credit cards and it's like everything on the phone is just you have to have the phone. And again, it was all designed by the way. It was pre-esigned that it will be so convenient that it wouldn't even raise any thought. Why would it be bad? And neither one I will tell you now a list of things that are bad and neither one of you are going to put it down ever. Right? You know what radiation does and I know all of you sleeping with it in the same room. [clears throat] Let's not go back into the phone. I think in here I was talking about phones. Something's going on here with the phones. But by the way, I know it's that's that's how it sneaks up because we are like, "Oh, what's the big deal? It's a phone." There's a very evil mastermind behind that that planned what would be the button that you would like to press all the time. What would give you this excitement? You know they asked Caesar the Caesar of Rome he gave a lot of activities to the citizens colosum and all the to games and all that and entertainment. That's where it all started. They told him why are you investing so much money and giving such entertainment to the people? So he answered when the people are happy and busy they don't notice what I'm doing. They don't looking at me. So, we have a bunch of psychopaths that are making you busy with all sorts of distractions so they can prepare what they want to prepare to pull the rug underneath your feet. That is the last thing that worries me. By the way, people can make many many advice against us and let Hashem do what he wants. [snorts] really what it boils down to I want to read to you a piece from the zor and that's what it really boils down to if we need to get something practical I like being practical I I all the rest is very important and reading and being learned and knowing and but the action is what counts you don't do any actions what are you doing the says is and I taught that a few times that the main test that we're going to have before Mashiach is going to come is amuna. How much amuna do you have? How much belief do you have? So now the pressure is not so great, not so big. So Hashem is testing you with money all the time. You're going to pay the rent, not pay the rent, get money at the end of the month. But somehow everything works out at the end. There's always issues but somehow things work out and when they don't work out it's not as bad as you thought. So you already in the test of over and over and over every month you are being tested with your but you believe that Hashem will come through whether it's with your sustenance your livelihood with basic things and everybody has enough what they're dealing with that they're tested with their amuna. How much amuna do you have? If you know how to uh practice or to work your imuna muscle, you you'll be you'll be doing okay. It's all boils down to how much faith you have in Hashem. Hashem is going to create all the distractions, all the situations for you to be under extreme stress. And the test here is okay now let's see if you believe that Hashem will find the solution and everything will be okay. And the more belief you have, the more faith you have in Hashem, then the challenge disappears and evaporates at some point. You just need to know how how to put the amuna pressure. It's really kind of a game. I know most people don't know how to do it. It affects them. But it's all about just let Hashem do his thing. He puts in a situation in your life. Don't get excited over it. Don't lose your patience. Don't lose your faith. Don't don't don't just completely ignore it. That's what I do. I mean, of course, I don't ignore situations. It's not what I'm telling you. I'm just I just don't get overwhelmed by a situation. I sit, wait, let's see what Hashem wants. You know that in most cases, I see that at least 50 times of the situations when I don't do nothing, it just disappears. It fix itself. Like as if Hashem is trying to see how much patience will I have before I lose my patience, before I curse or use foul language or do something. Most of the times don't do nothing. The wind passes and nothing happened. So it took me quite a while to realize that it's not the the text of the prophecy. That's interesting. That's Hashem telling us, "Okay, I I can do this. I can do that." You know, the whole Torah is full of prophecies about the Holocaust. Nobody can ever say, "Well, that came as a shock." The Torah is full of prophecies. If you don't do this, this is going to happen. So, and clear descriptions of how the Holocaust will happen. Did anybody ever imagine that? that something like this can happen. People who lived in Europe while the Holocaust was happening didn't believe that it's happening. You know that I sent once I met a a man whose uh I don't remember the son or the grandson to make a very long story short there were two people in the entire history of Awitz that were able to run away from Awitz. One of them the the grandson of the son I I was invited to some shabbaton pesak not a shabbaton like a big pesak retreat he was one of the speakers I was a speaker he was a speaker and he's telling the story how is and again I don't remember if the father or the grandfather how they ran away from Awitz something out of this no no normal they were young so they were in the war camps and they would go every day out of the camps and they started building another section and they kept hearing from the Nazi mim that there's a big shipment coming from Hungary and they had to build the the new part of the concentration camp. So this two guys they're like we got to run away and warn them. What they did is that they would go out every day to work and uh and then come back at night to the camp. So they planned their escape and what they did is while they were working they escaped but you can run away cuz the guards at the dogs all catch you. What did they do? They hid between like huge piles of wood cuz they built all these uh little houses from wood. So there was like piles and piles of logs. They hid between like logs. They covered their entire body with shoe shine of the Nazis boots so the dogs won't smell them. And three days standing like this without moving between logs, urinating on themselves, doing their business on themselves because after 3 days stops the searches stop and they what they did to the Nazi imam surrounded Awitz with villages that are very pro-Nazis. So if they they should see the citizens should see somebody walking there with a pajama right away. They they anyways a miracle. And these two people were able to run away from Awitz and they ran all the way to Hungary. Walked went to Hungary tell them we just came out of our concentration camp. They're coming to you. They were all Everybody kicked him out of the doors. You're nuts. Conspiracy theories. I WAS IN THE CAMP RIGHT NOW. NOPE. True story. And seven 800,000 Jews of Hungary few months later, six, seven months later came trains took them all. How did I get to that? I don't even know. [laughter] >> Hm. >> I don't even know. Sometimes Hashem puts words in my mouth. I don't even know where where I was going with that one, >> but obviously you had to hear it. >> So, something from the >> No, I was more I think I was more talking about that how >> the signs are. No, I was I was more going towards the place of saying you it's hard to believe to a point that these two in two miscar I don't even know how to call them know I was about to say inmates they're not even inmates they came say we were in in a concentration camp and they're coming for you and nobody believed him so it's like me coming to you and telling him you know what's happening and nobody everybody [clears throat] okay it's very hard for our mind to believe that Hashem can do such a thing. Imagine now I would come and tell you you know what's happening what's going to happen here in America in the next half a year and and all of you would tell me no no no no cat in Israel you know in Israel how they say I hate that slog slogan never again never again and what they do is they show like skinny Jews from a concentration camp and next to them like five six commandos from on the Israeli IDF like that. Never again. Never again. So two years ago, Hashem showed us how never again works. Never again. Huh? So what is important is not necessarily the text of the prophecy is what do you do with that and what do you actually do? What's the bottom line really? What's the bottom line? So I want to read to you apart from the zor because I see that that's what's important not what Trump is going to do and in this part of the if you want to follow it's in paras page 122 a and b and it's talking about at the ends of days there also calls the the feminine aspect of the divine theina the z calls it also means the end of days and I'm going to read you a part and then we're going to explain it a little bit more thorough and again if you want to follow we are in the z page 122 and it says started teaching Torah after his fellow teacher And he says, I want to explain to you a certain verse. And what is the verse? This is a verse from the book of the chapter 30 30 verse B. It's easy to remember because in Hebrew if you read 30B it's lame. So it's the heart of the book of the and in that verse it says you're going to have a lot of sorrow all these negative things that were talked about in the prophecy we'll catch up on you too at some point. And then it says And you shall return to your God and listen to his voice and do what you were told. That in itself is coming to tell you the bottom line of what Hashem is doing. Hashem is turning the world in a in a way that you should do chuva. It's it says very clearly and this is no no book of at the end of the day is always going to catch up on you. They should return to Hashem and listen to him. [snorts] Now he continues when it says you should hear toem here is what it says when there's a is when something's narrow. When there's no abundance it's can happen in many different ways. If you do chuva before the that this narrowness comes then nothing will happen. Sasham is telling you from years, if you do this, I'll do that. Nothing happens. If you do this, I'll do that. Nothing happens. Kind of like parents when they tell the child, if you do this one more time, and the child knows that you're full of nothing, he knows you're not going to do anything. with the relationship with my wife and me and the kids. What my wife when she threatens, the kids don't listen because she they know they she never does it. I have a few of them out here. You you can ask them. When my wife threatens cuz there's never a followup after the threat. But when Abba threats, Aba says, "Aba, I'm Aba, by the way. It's like the Israeli version of dad. But when I say it happens, so when I tell one of my kids, if you won't do this and they don't test me anymore because I say something, it will happen. My lovely wife that I love, she says something, doesn't happen. The threat doesn't hold. So my kids don't not not that they need to be afraid of their mom, but they're not taking it serious. So like probably in many me many other households, wait till your father comes home. Then the child is like no no no no no no no no I'll do the dishes for three years. There's still so same thing with Hashem. How many years is he saying you know if you won't do this I'll do that and nothing happens. So it has to be some type of some type of action. But let's continue. Interestingly that he starts by saying by the end of days and you have to please do homework go he's a smart man do homework read the ver read the chapter before that don't come just to a lecture and nod and and and then ask for selfie you already have this to come here the thousands of people on the on the internet dying to sit here you like uh so read the the the the chapter, do your homework. What is he talking about that is going to catch up on you, but nevertheless, he says, like I read, don't wait for the problems to come. If you do before the problems come, then it won't affect you. It won't happen. It won't come. that the chuva is greater than anything. Greater than a bunker, greater than a lot of batteries and solar panels and greater than anything is the chuva. Interestingly, he says the word it's the benefit of the chuva is better than anything. And I see it in my life more than anything. Better than if you're sick, chuba is better than medicine. you have financial problems. Chuva is much better than trying to think where you going to come up with that money. I can testify that chuva is the solution to everything. Because when Hashem pushes you to a wall, he wants you to self, how do you say self in introspect, self-reflect and see what what's going on. add to a point that the chuva is so much more beneficiary than anything that there won't be any judgment in the world if the chuva will have more power. Can you imagine? Because once the judgment is there, when there's a deen, when there's a judgment, you can't move that judgment. You cannot do that. I explained that when we read in charity, repentance and and prayer removes the evil of the decree. And I explain once you sin, doesn't matter what's the sin is, right away there's a lawsuit. You now park your car in the wrong place. Okay, maybe not in the same second. A few minutes later, we'll come the the policeman and give you a ticket. That's how it works. Okay, not telling if you're lucky or not. That's what happens. Same thing here. You do a certain sin right away there's a lawsuit against you in the heavens. You look to the wrong direction. You said the wrong word. You didn't do a certain act that you're supposed to do. You lied. You cheated. You slandered. It doesn't matter what you did. But you did a certain act that is considered a sin in the Torah. Right away there's a lawsuit in the heaven against you. Like now in this world, they send you a letter. Suddenly you get a letter from the city hall. What? I owe you $5,000. Yeah, cuz you parked your car and like Same thing here. It will come back at you. Unless you do chuva and you remove it. But the second that you did a certain act there's a lawsuit against you in sham a lawsuit. It's called dean a judgment. Now what's when there's a big situation not something small can be a lawsuit against the entire nation. Can be a lawsuit a spiritual lawsuit against an entire congregation or a certain individual. Do you know how many lawsuits you have? Probably a lot. There's a lot of dye. We do a lot of acts in our life in the path of Torah to sweeten these judgments. Why? Because you can't remove a judgment. You did a sin. There's a judgment against you. Doesn't matter how nice you are. And even if you do chuva 50 years, the chuva will forgive your sin. It doesn't remove the judgment. It cannot remove the judgment. And such a thing the only way to do it is to roll over the judgment somewhere else. That's what we pray in that that we pray, we repent and we give charity. It rolls over the evil of the decree that that you take the decree and you roll it over to something else. So I I I don't have it right now. It's rolled over to it shouldn't be on me. Rolls over to my enemies. So when there's a judgment, you can't really remove it. You have to deal with it and in many cases you have to sweeten it. But here what he says that to a point the cha is so strong that it can rem even if the dean is in the world it will remove it. That's how strong it is. saying in other words that after the judgment is already dwelling and after you came to a place that it can harm the person if the person does chuva if the person doesn't do chuva if you don't do chuva then the strength of the judgments become stronger and whoever can reach to that level of chuva and to to nullify the judgment. That's something that's obviously cannot be happened by anything but the power of chuva. Why? Because there's a judgment that was there and the chuva was able to remove it. That doesn't move the the the dean does not remove until the chuva is 100% complete. But he's basically telling us which it's not a big surprise the power of chuva you can do anything which it's like okay how can I just repent and then I remove a judgment then yeah let's see what it says after you did and the judgment is removed That person repairs all the worlds that he damaged with his sin with his chva. Mashma saying in other words all these actions of judgment are kind of gathering with you like a balance. Can you imagine what balance you have with all the junk that you did in the last 40, 30, 50, 60 years and previous incarnations? Now he quotes the verse that we read is you should return to the master of the universe and listen to him. Why? Because the master of the universe is merciful. He's not looking to harm you. He's not looking to torture you. He's looking to educate you. He's looking to to to teach you. So he asks in the end of days, what's the concept? What's the idea of da at the end of days? Why is it that's how it's written? So he answers him is to include the nation of Israel that it's in exile itself too. And the Shina is in exile with the nation of Israel. And why? So the nation of Israel should be protected by the Shina that they should not be swallowed by the impure nations. There are nations that are surrounded us to clarify that because many people take it as an offense. Not the all the nation. First of all, all the countries that are registered to that terror organization in New York, the United Nations, that's not the nations we're talking about, by the way, where this is not the 70 nations that the Torah is talking about. This is just a bunch of countries that got somehow together. Half of them are not even countries, by the way. They're invented countries. It was just very convenient to put everything together, but doesn't matter right now. But that's not the the nations we're talking about. There are nations that are against the the the nation of Israel. And there are Gentiles that live in different countries and they have nothing to do with the nations that we're talking about. So nobody needs to take offense for that. There are Gentiles all around the world, righteous Gentiles, amazing people. And then there's the people who belong to certain nations and they hate us. Doesn't matter what we do, who we are, and doesn't matter if I ever did anything to that person, they'll still hate us. Why? Cuz that's how they're programmed from their creation. That's it. We don't have any issues with anyone. You want to kill me, we're going to have an issue with you. But if you don't have an issue with me, we don't have an issue with you. We welcome everybody. So when it's talking about nations, it's very important to understand that it's not talking about Belgian, Holland, Jugoslavia, and and Finland. That's not what it's talking about. These are countries that were evolved with with time. So now let's go back to what he's saying. It's asking what's the concept behind this? They like I told you can including the nation of Israel but mainly to guard them that they should not be impured by these impure nations and the the is with the nation of Israel with all the problems that they're going through when we are being damaged or we damage we damage The same way that enemies in our world can overpower us, then theim the external forces of you know what opposes the the kadusha they take control over the same exact way. So what happens to us physically happens to the shina spiritually. And then he continues by saying and the the never leaves the nation of Israel. That's for the the gets damaged and and and there blemishes because of the sins of of the nation of Israel. [snorts] But but the master of the universe does all these thing for one thing for the nation of Israel to do to to repent. Why? So he can reward us in the world to come. Now if you're not ready to be rewarded, if you're not ready to be redeemed, then there's going to be a problem. Hashem says there's no time. If I need to redeem you now and you need to be ready for that, if you're not doing chuva by yourself, I'm going to have to make you do chuva. And it says clearly why wants to benefit to them in the world to come. How the abundance that gets rejuvenated, what you're supposed to get is rejuvenated by the chuva and in the world to come. If you do chuva in this world, needless to say that you're cleaning your your balance in the world above. So no need to explain too much and there's nothing that can stand in front of chuba. You know, let me read another paragraph and he says it as follows. Come and see that is considered and it's called also and if you should say that the high level of chuva is in every place. So he says no no no no no. The to to to reach the level of a high level. It says that in order to reach to such a level has to be a lot of a lot of mercy from the and all the chuv that that we do it feeds the rest of the spiritual worlds. The tikun that we do with chuva is above and beyond. And that's why he concludes by saying that chuba that chuva is the most benefit thing to remove and to fix all problems and interestingly against the sanction. Okay, now he's going to a little bit more of a a cabalistic explanation, but he concludes by saying all the ends are already ready and the redemption is only dependent on the chuva that we do on the repentance that we do. So how I see what's important here is not what the world is going what's going to happen in the world or what the prophecy it's good it's not good the reality is that all the prophecies that are good will happen question is how how would be the way to get there that's what one needs to consider the prophecy that are promised that are going to be good. Okay? Doesn't promise who's going to get there and it doesn't promise how you're going to look when you get there. I like to simplify things and I like to make things more practical. What's going to happen in regards to every step? There are different opinions. There are some horrible prophecies that if you want to read and Noia and a few others, I can give you some references. It's not doesn't look so great. It doesn't look great at all and it looks like it's around the corner. Unfortunately, most people don't don't want to believe that something like this can happen. I I I can actually kind of relate with I rather not know what's going to happen and see no evil, hear no evil, everything will be fine. But I I choose not to go by that approach because will come the day that I will catch myself the ones who say that that I will look back and say it's I wish I would have done this and that. So, Hashem is so kind and so merciful that he's showing us every step how he's doing everything in a small version. Everything was is and was supposed to be in in big versions. Even what I mentioned before with October 7, it was supposed to be a hundred times bigger. I know it's horrible and can't even imagine, but it was supposed to it's nothing supposed to was supposed to be worse. We're lacking. We should be very happy. It was just that was supposed to be attacked from all directions. The reason I believe most people don't want to choose to believe that a prophecy like this can happen because it's who wants to now believe that something like this can happen and no one want to nobody wants to. But I take the the concept of the prophecies, the good ones, let them happen. and the bad ones we can change. If you would believe that you can change it, there's enough people come together. We don't need much people. You need a small group of very strong amuna people to be able to change the entire surface of the world to do that. Not so simple. Not so simple. That's why I choose to when I look at the prophecies, read the prophecies, I read between the lines that everything that Hashem does, he just wants each and every one of us to repent. He wants us to repent. And why? Because when Mashiach is going to come, the time is ready. But the I believe nobody in the world is ready. So Mashiach is ready. Everything is ready. The goula is ready to happen. Theina is ready to be redeemed. But when Hashem checked, he says, "Nope, nobody. Nobody." You know what? I I'll choose to read for you another portion from the Zor. [clears throat] And I read it already a few times. If you want to follow, it's in in the book of Schmo, chapter 7, page B. I'm not going to read the whole part. I'm just going to read you one part. It's talking about Rabishimon. In many of the cases, it's talking about the students. Here it's talking about Raashimonai that raised his hands to the heavens and cried and prayed and he was crying about the time that Mashiach is going to come and when he was asked why why you so much crying. So he says I it's oi to the person who's going to be found in that time with all the problems and all the atrocious things that's going to happen. And uh and when he was questioned why he's so upset then he said something very very uh scary. He says I have looked in details in every one and every person that's going to be in that generation. That's what says and it says and I looked at the actions of each and everyone and there's not one even person that is going to be sadik there's not going to be one person that has the or has the merit to stand the redemption I'm not saying that and it says I have looked if there's any merits to the nation of Israel that will be an an assistant to help the redemption and I didn't find one one merit and how much problems and how much there's going to be for the nation of Israel but on the other hand happy is the person who's going to be in this time first he says I can't I Don't I can't even fathom who would want to be in that time with all the problems. But then he says happy is going to be in this time. Why if a person will still survive in that time and he has he will see the special light of the king. So what I read between the the read between the lines going to be very empty. Hello like three people like standing there. No. Where's the redemption? >> H >> only at the top. >> Yep. Read this part if you want. And I thought about it. You can find the the classes online. He's saying in other words the challenges are going to be so hard that it's going to be very difficult to stand to stand it and what does he say happy is the one who will be there and standing in the because he'll benefit from the light of Hashem so Hashem is saying listen I'm going to bring the redemption very soon if Rashia now shows up most of us will expire just by the intensity of the light that we can't even handle such a light we think we might be able to we can't physically if Mashiach comes right now and with Mashiach comes the redemption not just the man I don't think we are able to sustain this godly light of the shina and what would happen is we'll all expire so Hashem says so what did I do 5,000 years of exile and they're all going to be expired so we're going through tons of tons of all day You and you and you and me and we all going through problems all day long. That's how he calls it. Sot is how do you say in English? Problems, issues, troubles, horrible all day long. We perceive it as many other things. We perceive it that she did to me and he did to me and why is Hashem doing this to me and everybody's doing everything to me. I didn't do nothing. That's how most people perceive it. But most people don't even come to the point to stop and say, "Ah, you know what? Hashem is putting me through all this headache to cleanse me because I'm not doing it for myself. I'm not doing chuva. So, Hashem has to do it for me. If I don't clean myself, then Hashem will do it for me because there's no time. And if now Hashem is going to bring the redemption, there won't be much people in the redemption because people are not taking responsibility doing chuva. When you do chuva, when you repent, when you acknowledge the shortcomings of yours on your behavior by the action that you refine yourself, forget about you repenting for your own actions. >> You preparing yourself for the redemption. I spoke about it yesterday about the entire the concept of the the attribute the mid of Hashem wants us to do chuva if not he would just there's no point and nobody gets it nobody seems to get it I mean here and there people are pulling their weight and it doesn't matter how observant you are you can be extremely observant and you can be not so observant or not observant at all also people who are are fully observant of what uh the world calls them religious. They also have to do chuva. Everybody has to do chuva. Everybody, the translation of what I just said now, it's a verse. There's no such a thing as a sadic. A righteous person can live on this earth and not sin. I'm not going to sin. But at least be a man and say, "I'm sorry. I didn't I'm not looking for excuses. I'm just going to work hard not to do that and at least admit to run away from the sin. It's impossible. But at least admit that you did it. So I find a lot of interest in the prophecies. But I more find practical advice than stumb to to read what's going to happen. If you're looking at books and you're looking what's happening, it's going can cause a lot of people a lot of stress because I just told you there's a mid a midrash that's talking about exactly what's happening right now. But the result of it is not so great that the king of Persia rises above their king of Adam and destroys twothirds of the world. So now, but luckily people don't read too much. They'll be like, "Oh my god, it's happening now. Sell all the Bitcoin. So, I know you're laughing. I mean, sell the Bitcoin, not to sell the Bitcoin. What is Trump doing here? Trump is going to make a lot of waves in this world. If you're ready for the waves, go ahead, buy crypto. The point is, what do you do with all that? Somehow people love hearing about it. But what's the practical? What do you do? That's really what needs to be asked by every individual who's here or watches the class. The prophecies are good. The prophecies are kind of like points on the map that I know I'm going in the right place, that I know that I'm going to the right direction. When I look at the prophecies, it just strengthened to me that we're running out of time. We are already on borrowed time. I don't even know how we're still in 2026. Something, some miracle happened that Hashem decided to give us an extension. When I'm saying us, I'm talking about the human race, not us here in the shul. Hashem gave the entire human race some extension. Let's see if you can uh do something normal before I come and eat you alive. So, Hashem just wants to bring justice to the world and he's going to do that. I care about what my little me, what's happening with me. I can't affect the entire world. I can affect myself. I can affect other people. You can affect yourself and the close people to yourself. Now, there are two options how you leave this room. Kind of like the red pill and the blue pill. So, you can either take the blue pill and uh go home and vote the next presidential election to whoever you want to vote. >> I'm sorry. When you say red pill, blue pill, what do you mean? >> I I'll explain to the movie that >> Yeah. Yeah. I'll explain to the ones who are less on screens. Lucky are they? >> I saw that movie just once many years ago. >> Good for you. I mean, so translation who doesn't really know about the movie. I'm not I'm saying it with all respects. It is a movie. >> I didn't want to watch. I just happened to be a >> I passed next to the Radio Shack some I just passed there. But uh yeah, we are talking about a movie and in the movie an individual is being offered two options. Option number one, go home and numb your situation. Ignore the situation. Live your life and wait for whatever to happen and everything will happen however it should happen and just live your life is with less as less and less and less issues, worries and pain and let me just ignore what's going on. Let me live today because tomorrow we're going to die. And that's how most people choose to live. The problem with that poor choice is that it doesn't take you anywhere. You think it might help. I also thought that that approach helps. Let me just ignore what that's going on and I'll just, you know, focus on my, you know, little square and I'll push the reality away. But he just told you and we just read it's going to catch up on you anyways. Now if you are like in a very high level then you just live on a path of chuva and bmet you have nothing to worry about but the that requires a lot that requires a huge effort from you. It requires from you almost impossible things that you can do unless you and I know people who do it. They just leave everything behind and they do they they do their chuva and they just don't want to deal with anything. The sad reality is we spoke about it yesterday. Somebody asked at the end of the class uh and again and I'm not going to quote exactly the question but the topic of the question was when I'm going through some type of suffering a challenge a situation a difficulty how can I know that it's something that I did and I'm getting so to say punished for it or I'm triggering some reaction with my action or maybe it's just a test from Hashem and I didn't do and he's just testing me to see how I'm going to react. And uh the there was a long answer. The short answer is you you can make a difference between when you trigger a reaction than when Hashem is testing you. And in most of the cases, Hashem is testing you. So I can already tell you that a large amount of your challenges is Hashem testing you. It's not that you did something. sudden [clears throat] you did something and now you don't have of course you will go to some rabbis who will tell you oh you did a now B is happening that's very dangerous to to to get such advice because nobody knows I don't think that we have rabbis in our generations and if the ones that we do you don't have access to them that can tell you oh this is happening cuz you did this sin. And if somebody comes and tells you you are not getting married or you can't have kids or you don't have money or whatever cuz you did this, that's very dangerous because nobody actually can know that. How do you really know that? Maybe is Hashem just testing me. Nobody can come and tell you why things happen. But I can come and tell you and and it's backed up by the the Torah, not that I'm inventing anything. The problems that you have are to put you in a straight place. Whether it's a result of a certain act that you did and you're triggering a reaction calls it you do a sin, you'll get a punishment. You do a mitzvah, you get a reward. I can I can explain it differently. You do any action that you will do will draw a reaction. You do a positive action then the reaction will be positive. You'll do a negative action then you will draw to your negative action reaction. That's it. >> Call it a punishment. I call it however you want. But if I do something negative the reaction that's going to bounce back at me will be negative. The world knows it more in the in the definition of karma. But it's much more than karma. It's me doing a certain action. I'm pushing now just of course uh uh spiritually I'm pushing energy to this direction at some point it will bounce on something and bounce back at at me. So I do positive in this world, it will bounce at me. Positive. I do negative, it will bounce negative at me. So most of your challenges is for you to get your act together. So it's very easy to give up. [snorts] Very easy to raise your hands and say I I don't care. Leave me alone. I had enough. I can't take this anymore. I don't have so I don't have the co I'm just going to go and sleep. Oh, look at my phone for two hours just not to deal with the reality. or you you humble yourself, you understand that Hashem has no issue with you. Hashem is not angry. Hashem is trying to show you that you should by yourself do it that you should initiate the change that you should reach to that point by yourself. That's what Hashem wants. He doesn't want to just give it to you. He wants you to work for it and he wants you to earn it and he wants you to own it. your change, your refinement. I call it constantly chuva, chuva, chuva, but it's everything. Don't you feel proud when you able to achieve something by yourself, a project, a job, uh whatever, some business, well, it doesn't even have to be with anything. You learn something, you you you're proud of yourself that you were able to achieve something. It can be even working out and coming to great results. It can be losing weight. It can be whatever you put your mind to. But you're able to do it and you're successful. Doesn't it give you some satisfaction? Of course, it gives you satisfaction. You're jumping up and down inside that you were able to do it. That's what Hashem wants. Hashem wants you to do it by yourself. Like you're teaching your kid to drive on a bike and with those wheels that help. You help the kid, but eventually you just want him to know how to do it by himself. I never saw a father that pushes the kids off the bike and says, "Oh, you're not doing it well." The the the father does whatever he cans to to to educate the kid how to know how to pedal the right way. And eventually the kid learns. So that's that's exactly what Hashem is doing to you. The prophecies that we read are to tell us if you do good, this is where you're going to end up. If you're going to do bad, that's what's going to haunt you. That's it. I know it's very very hard to get up and say, "Yalah, let's make a change." It's very very difficult. Most people, they need uh some disaster to do such a change. So, Hashem is telling you, I'm going to bring a lot of disasters. Six years ago, five years ago, four years ago, when I was teaching and talking about what's going on in the world, I had the same mantra that I kept saying over and over and over and I still stand by it that Hashem is going to bring humanity to its knees. Hashem wants everybody to scream up to Hashem, not only the Jews. Everybody. This is not just solely for the Jews. By the way, my dear friend, Gentiles, it's coming to you too. Sh wants everybody to do. Everyone, the entire human race. We read three times a day the prayer, right? Read it. What I said now, it's from the prayer. Look what the prayer is saying. Our sages chose three times a day to recite this prayer. It's including the entire world. All the tongues, all the nations, all the languages will swear by your name, not any other fake gods. All the knees are going to kneel to you. We're here. We're no different than anyone. The entire human race has to bow down to the master of the universe. And when it comes, don't you want to be already ready? Somebody asked me today, what's the order of the when Mashiach comes. So I said uh cuz he it was it came in a question of how urgent one should move to Israel. So I said uh well you know the kibut's galot comes after bin beta mikdash first mash builds beta mash builds beta mikdash after starts the kibut galyot the gathering of all the Jews from all corners of the world so you really want to wait here in America while we're barbecuing in beta mcdash okay so you go to shalom pizza here and we're going to sit first throw beta mcdash see how on a coin. So the message is very clear. You can take the blue pill, go out of the door tonight and understand that it's way beyond your your completely want to ignore what can happen, will happen, is happening. Live your life. everything everything will be fine till the next disaster of course or you don't need to take a pill you just need to understand that we are in like I told you before one of the greatest generations of all time of the entire human race this is the finale the final can you imagine that we are the last we we we seeing actually how the change is going to happen if whoever ever is going to merit it. Can you imagine being pre gula and after gula? The ones who are going to be born then they came after the mashia. We before and after. So why am I saying that? That you should understand where are we holding what exciting times we are holding. Don't have your mind focused on startups and where are you making your next new millions and I'm gonna invest now and in 40 years and you want to invest it's in for the next half a year that's it don't don't you have to change your entire understanding what's going on six years ago when corona came to the world it's hashem don't don't think now what all the other options it's only [snorts] hash hem Shem wanted to introduce to the world how the next phase can look. And needless to say, everybody's jaws were hanging. Nobody could believe. Everybody was in a state of shock to a point that most were so shocked they didn't even see how bad the situation is and what's really go what's going on. And I only see how Hashem made a drill for us to understand that this is the the practice the Israeli army when you practice it's called you it's called I don't know if the translation will sound make sense it's called we practice dry and when it's you want to do a real practice it's called wet and that's with real ammunition. So the soldiers first practice and it's it's called dry, it's fake. And then they do the real one which is called wet and then you do with real ammunition, real. We're doing right now the yvesh. This is now the dry. So we kind of see how things move. Unfortunately, most people are not aware, not awake, not focused, not will know what's going on, completely paralyzed emotionally, not physically. The first and most important message is you got to wake up from where you're holding to understand where we holding on the timeline. I know it's hard to understand that but and the more the world becomes more advanced and more normal it's even harder to see that what we're gonna something like this can happen first one needs to understand that then one needs to understand that this is all happening in order for me to do cha all my issues all my difficulties all my challenges it's not necessarily that Hashem is looking to punish me First of all, if we take the verse that we read that it will catch up on you. What's going to catch up on you? All your all your sins and you cannot be part of the redemption when you have sins. It's not going to work. You have to clean yourself. That's why the any redemption has to come with a lot of problems because the suffering that you go through cleanses your sins and makes you prepare for the redemption. So your mind frame needs to change completely. It's not about what might happen. It's what can I do right now. Every day I need to focus on on my cha. I know for a fact that if we make a quick survey, there's no one person in this room or anyone who's right now on the call or anyone in this world that right now can say, "I don't know what you're talking about. Life is just amazing. I feel like uh Mike Tyson. I can run now five miles. The bank manager keeps calling me, "Stop depositing money. There's not enough room in the zeros. Stop." When was the last time that you woke up full of joy, happiness, jumping up and down, excitement, kiss anyone who was in your direction? So what? >> Yeah. When you're so drunk, you kiss anything that's in your direction. [clears throat] >> Modi. I also, you know what means? Mod means I admit. Okay. I thank you for bringing my but three times a day we pray a certain prayer. Most people don't even know what they're saying. Most people think that you're saying that I thank you is I admit that's by the way when we say it says I admit that you are the that you are the king living king. But the word is I admit I admit I that's why we bow in because I I bow down and say I admit that you are the king not me. I don't have any power. I'm nothing. Admitting is the key for all success. Successful marriage admit when you are wrong. Successful is admit when you made something wrong. Admitting is you you admit where you mess up it. The the name of the game is very simple. Hashem wants you to to better yourself to prepare yourself for the redemption by yourself. So he's putting all these challenges and all these obstacles in your way. And he's telling you you you you're by yourself. No nice guy anymore. There's no days that I'm there to push you cuz now it's the it's it's the last few pushes. So, I'm sure you feel that Hashem doesn't have your back anymore. Feels like that lately that Hashem doesn't have your back. It's like kind of deserted you. I know that a lot of people tell me that now. A lot of people don't feel that. I'm just saying it's kind of like a a lot of people tell me I feel like Hashem is like it's like Hashem is not listening to my prayers anymore. Hem is not coming coming along with with with miracles. It's nothing nothing's happening. So, it's not that you're doing something wrong. Hashem already take took it to the next phase. He wants you to go to the next level that you do it by yourself. We had no count on anyone. Nobody's going to come to save you in any situation. Nobody's coming for you. Only Hashem. Now you need to create now such a strong and solid bond with Hashem that when the day will come when Hashem decides now is the day then the promise that he gives you happens doesn't matter how much you can prepare yourself to be safe let's call it the only thing that will help you now until the end of days is only your chuva and You own it. If you did it by yourself, you own it. If you were forced to do it, you don't own it. So, just understand the name of the game right now. Hashem is now, yeah, I know it's hard right now. I know there's a lot of difficulties. I I get 5,000 calls every day. I know what you're dealing with. I I can summarize everything. Yeah. I don't You don't need to talk. I I look at you. I know what's going on. But it's all because Hashem is telling you in other words, it's time for you to take that step by yourself. There's no other option because it's the it's coming. Now, if you want my personal advice, not that I'm seeing bad things, I don't think the redemption is coming. Nice. I had a feeling a few years ago that we might have an option that everybody will come together and do chuva and forgive each other and be nicer a little bit to each other and some uh forgiving and some but no people are so I I tried for the last 15 years I do believe that if we come together a very large group of people you don't even need a large group of people says one small group of people can change the entire fate of the world. And it doesn't have to be so organized. By the way, I thought maybe we need to organize some commando unit that they're they're like saving the world. But uh no, no, it just needs a few strong people that they see what's going on. They we we understand the world is going to go through a huge transformation soon because we were all yearning for the coming of Mashiach. For thousands of years, we're waiting for it, but nobody really knows what it means. Nobody's really prepared for that. Nobody. You know what it means? Let me tell you one thing. You all want Mashiach. And anybody in this room is not interested for the coming of Mashiach. Okay. So, why do you live in America? No answer. So, you don't really waiting for Mashiach to come. You don't really believe it's happening. You don't really believe the whole story. That's how I see it. If you would believe the whole thing, you would be in Tel Aviv right now. Well, hopefully in some more of a religious place, but uh you got the point and I know all your answers. What am I going to do there? I don't speak the language. There's no jobs there. Yeah, you're really doing great here. All this is theim the spies. the spies that went into the land of Israel to say the land is horrible and we can't conquer it and there's danger there and then they punished they got punished for 40 years in the desert for trashing the land of Israel and up until today that sin wasn't wasn't forgiven the golden calf was forgiven many other sins were forgiven not the not the spies it was never forgiven I said that already many times if you must must not live in Israel. Don't trash it. At least don't talk bad about Israel. It's the land of Hashem. Don't ever dare to say it's dangerous there. It's hard there. It says to live there by the way. Obviously, you don't have this is a merit. But not saying you everybody has this just just actualize that. And I don't take any excuses. I don't have money. I don't have money. What am I going to do there? I moved to Israel with six kids and I had about $5,000 to my name and everybody told me, "What are you going to do there? Where you going to live?" And I don't know. Does it look like I suffered in the last 10 years? No. I just saw it's the right time. I got up, took my wife, took my six kids, and we moved to Israel. And I didn't literally didn't have anything. No job, no money, no nothing. And from the second that I step foot in Israel, Hashem opened all the gates of Sheffa and everything just coming like in one year. So I don't take any excuses. What am I going to do there? How am I going to talk? I don't even talk the language. So learn the language. That's another embarrassing thing for you to say. You wear a yamaka. You come here to pray three times a day. don't know the language. How can you claim to be a man of God and you don't know how to read his language or a woman to that respect? And again, not here to put anybody on the spot, but you are observant Jew. You don't know how to say four words in the holy language. You don't pray in the holy lang. You pray in English. Go and learn the language. If I would now offer you a million dollars to some job where you need to learn Chinese, you would sing in Chinese. Yeah. Yeah. If I offer you now a million dollars a month, a job, 30-year contract, you you you will sing any language I will tell you to sing. But you claim to be a follower of the master of the universe, and you don't know to say three sentences in Hebrew. You pray in English. Start learning. I'm not telling you to become a professor. Learn three day words a day. Pray in Hebrew. Don't pray in English. Sorry to tell you has no meaning in English when you do it. Doesn't have the weight of the words in Hebrew. I'm not telling you not to say it. Better to say it in English, but a prayer has to be done in Hebrew. You know that for 5,000 years, there weren't any prayer books in English. This is a new thing from the last 30 years that you can find prayer books in English in Russian and sidu has to be in Hebrewdah wrote that in Hebrew not in English which means that the English words has zero meaning the energy of the words. Oh, Israel. Uh, that that is not Shemma Isel. You're not pronouncing the Hebrew words. You're not entering the energy of the the letters into your prayers. I became observant. I had to take three, four years out of my life to learn what am I doing? I'm going to serve now the master of the universe. I don't even know his language. So, I had an advantage. I'm I'm Israeli. But there's no excuse. There's no excuse. So I asked you before, you all believe in Mashia. You all want Mashiah to come. And then I asked you another question. Why are you here? You know that a big part of the redemption is that you have to live in Israel. So why don't you move now? You obviously don't believe it's happening. Because if you would believe that it's coming tomorrow in a year, you would already move there. Find a place to be there. And I know it's scary to move place of you don't know. Well, your ancestors 80 years ago had to move from wherever they lived. Whether they lived in Europe, they were all removed. And whether they lived in the the Middle East, half of you are Persians. You weren't kicked out of Iran 40 years ago. So, it's also it's older countries. Yemen, Morocco, we all suffered from that. 9 years ago, all Jews from all corners of the world got kicked out from where they were. So, we were used to migrating. We're tired of that already. But that's Hashem telling you that that's you belong there, not here. So, to conclude, because I think I already pressed a few uh few buttons. Everything is coming from love. Everything is coming from concern. Nothing is coming from shalom to hurt anybody. I'm coming when I'm out of the toilet and I come to the toilet. So I smell how the the disgusting the smell is. So one needs to come and tell you by the way it doesn't smell so good. So [snorts] tonight I'm not talking of the importance of moving to to to Israel. I think you can feel by my words the what I what what I think. There's no two ways about it for me. What's important to today is that you leave this door understanding. What do I need to do? I need to change something very big in my path tonight because anything can happen today or tomorrow and I want to be ready for that [snorts] again. And nothing here is to about scaring and it's fact. I'd rather be prepared. Wouldn't you want to be prepared if let's say half a year before corona somebody will come and tell you listen something's going to happen in the world like this and like that prepare for that. You know how many people suffered lost their jobs lost money. I mean I'm not talking about lost people. So wouldn't you want a little warning before something's happening? I want a warning. I want to know what what's happening. That's your prophecies. What do you do with that? Nothing. So now hopefully you can take this little message and understand it's not about the the text of the prophecy. That's very interesting. Can learn the prophecies, learn a lot from that. You can also learn what can be the actions that will enolate bad prophecy. But all that is much more requires much more effort. Now what requires much less effort is you understanding where you holding and where where how you leaving the door with the red pill or the blue pill. If you choose to ignore it then you don't have to take a pill. It's the idea behind it. How are you going out of the door? You all made an effort to come tonight. You didn't come here. I'm not giving out candy. You came to hear something. Obviously, Yama wants to hear some some message to give you the the the korak, the energy, the the faith and the power to wake up tomorrow in the morning and to be a little bit stronger. Maybe that's more not how your mind is thinking, but you know somehow pushed you here. Okay, maybe I can get some one or two words of wisdom. Maybe you'll give me the push for the next day. I only look at my entire life is where do I need to do chuva? How much? And what's the effort that I need to do? Everything else is secondary. Now if I tell you that a lot of people say yeah but you're you you're rava needs to do chuva. Yeah. Doesn't matter who you are. How long you bearded? If you have a beard or not you need to do chuva. Everybody needs to do chuva. I constantly look at myself. Where can I change? Where can I get better? Where can I prepare myself more? Where can I refine myself? And I'm constantly looking at myself and there's never achieve there's always achievements but there's never okay I reach to perfection. The world is going to turn around a few times that no one can prepare for what's coming. But I can tell you that the stronger that you are holding on to Hashem when that day will come it won't affect you. Most congregations when they take the Torah scroll out of the ark, they say a verse, the ones of you who are gluing themselves to Hashem is the de is glue that I'm gluing myself to hem. All of you are alive when in Hebrew means today. But hom in Hebrew when you read it with a little bit of some on the is the day the ones of you are holding you glue yourself to hem you'll be alive when in the day in the day when everything will go bad you'll be sitting reading a page of tim. Did you hear? No. What happened? He didn't hear. No, I'm busy busy with Hashem. I just finished. What happened? Don't ask. I I stopped reading too much. Not that I stopped, I stopped like trying to figure out the prophecies because it's not for us to figure out. It's just for us to understand what can happen. Now I now landed literally yesterday. Every step of the way when you fly, whether it's when you buy your airline tickets, you rent a car, everything they require you to ensure. You know, you buy tickets. Do you want to insure your flight? Why would I want to insure the flight? Well, in case it gets cancelled, then you'll get your money back. You can rebook. You can reschedu. And then and then uh twice the amount of the ticket is the insurance and everything is with insurance. I go rent a car. Do you want insurance? Why do they sell you insurance? Besides the fact that they sell you air and they make a lot of money over you. Like even today I was somewhere they forced me to take insurance. I said I don't want insurance. You have to, but I don't want to. I I literally told the person, I'm not interested in insurance. That cannot go on fire. I don't care. You have to. Okay. So, I have to pay you now $15 a month because I have to. I don't want your insurance. But the b the bottom line is why am I pointing this out? When there's a possibility of something happening, you want some type of an insurance. So, Hashem is telling you there's a possibility of this happening. Now, do insurance. I'm talking about the bad uh prophecies. Of course, the good prophecies, let them happen. The good prophecies, you will be safe in your land, and you're going to just abundance coming from all directions and all good, all good. All the good prophecies. So, Hashem is telling you there's a few bad prophecies. It's a possibility of something to happen. Prepare yourself. [cough and clears throat] Do a little insurance. If I would now look back and say I could now not pay 50 years of car insuranceem never did I never did. I never used the car insurance. So I wasted now 30 years of of thousands of shekels and dollars, right? I could have uh not spent that money. But for all that time, I had shiket. I had peace. Something will happen. Okay, I have insurance. A pretty cool concept when you're thinking about it besides the waste of the money and somebody on the other end is making a lot of money. But Hashem is telling you the same thing. Why don't you do some insurance? Good prophecies don't need insurance. Let it happen. You don't insure your lottery ticket cuz the lottery ticket can either give you a lot of money or it doesn't. So, you can't insure it. There's no point of insuring. Can you imagine how you buy lottery ticket? You want to insure your lottery ticket? If you lose the lottery ticket, then it's insured and you can still is telling you the good prophecies will happen. The bad prophecies might happen. Prepare for the might happen. Now again, you can build bunkers. You can buy a lot of lentils. That's all good. That's very nice to have a lot of rice in your basement. Most people don't think about it that when you're going to be the only one with rice in the basement in the neighborhood, you're not going to have rice for a long time. You're going to be robbed in about 3 seconds because they're going to find out you have rice and what I'm joking with rice, but you're going to have to cook it somehow. So, there's going to be smell. So, people will know right away you have food. So, you're going to need a lot of ammunition to all the guns you don't have to stop the ones who are going to come to take all your food that you saved. So, you need a little bit of a better plan. And I'm not saying not to save food. I'm the pioneer of preparing the better safe than sorry, right? I rather waste some money on some rice and lentils and batteries and never use it and then to beh I wish I had [snorts] not that I'm saying it in any negative way but corona we had the best time my wife and my kids we had what a vacation we had at home The point you want to take from this class very very simple is you need a insurance policy for what's coming. The negative prophecies is coming to tell you it might happen. It might not happen but it might happen. How much you willing to take a chance? Go ahead. I can tell you maybe that would be the message you need to hear. I ensure my myself for what might happen. And my insurance is not bunkers. Is my relationship with Hashem because at the end of the day, that's the only thing that's going to help. That's the only thing that's going to save. That's the only thing that's going to make any difference is my relationship with Hashem. And that's really what you need to take. That's the message you need to go out of this door and understand the prophecies. Some of them will happen. And I'm telling you, it can happen tomorrow. We didn't get any warning. Not with Corona. Not with October 7. Not with nothing. Same way that a month ago you Well, you didn't wake up, but the citizens of Sydney woke up to some horror attack. Not going to happen anywhere. Anywhere. And not Shalom that I want to that I'm hoping for that, but it will start happening. That's going to be the next new thing. Just terror attacks everywhere. And slowly slowly every month or two the pressure will go up a little bit more and more pressure and more pressure till people will figure it out. The more the time passes the more we we suffer by the way and Hashem won't let go. It's Hashem is going to put pressure and the pressure just goes on. Don't think the pressure will go off or become better anytime soon. only worse till Mashia comes. So whatever you pressure you're dealing with right now, get used to it or do chuva but in levels that you're not used to. So if you're willing to suffer, then stay with that's the blue pill suffer. In Hebrew we say translation won't make much justice to this statement is a donkey kamore is also somebody who's not so smart I mean it's a kind of a not nice word when you call a person you kind of calling him don't want to say look it up on ch but nevertheless is a donkey and donkeys they eat hay right straw try to eat strawash ah and in Hebrew of course the hulkash means that you're eating not so nice things so that that's the statement you want to be a donkey okay so you're going to you're going to eat kush you decide what you want to Nobody's going to do it for you. Nobody's going to come to your home, wake you up to pray. Nobody's going to come to your home, help you do anything. It's you. And I know it's hard because right now most people are drowning in their own. I mean, and my problems are bigger than your problems. And I have a lot of problems. And you have a lot of problems. You have a lot. Everybody has problems. Very few people have solutions. But the smart people don't have problems or solutions. They just ignore the problems. They focus on what they need to. Shem is telling you, you need to do your responsibility. I will do my responsibility. That's it. Your responsibility is to wake up in the morning and pray. And then in the afternoon, go to pray again. And in the evening, go and pray again. And make sure what you're eating is clean. and learn some Torah and do some acts of kindness and you do have to do this and that and it's very hard to apply it. But when you first do that, you see how Hashem does how Hashem comes through. It's unbelievable. But you have to do the first step. So to conclude, good prophecies will happen. So you can go and read all the good prophecies and be rest assured that it will happen. What needs to rate to you some concern is that you might not be there to enjoy it. But it will happen. Do you want to be there? Then you got to you got to do some effort to make sure you will have the merit. Bad prophecies don't necessarily have to happen. They can definitely be analified. And the bad prophecies can happen to some people and other people don't affect them. That's A thousand will fall from one side, 10,000 from this side say nothing will come to you. People can suffer all around you. You'll try to help him. You won't be able to. And you will be fine. Shem is going to protect you like he protected the nation of Israel in Egypt. Whoever put the the blood on the doorpost, the Satan passed over the door. Okay, Hashem will find all the ways to protect whoever he wants to protect. The job that each and every person needs to do is to start realizing not in fear, not in it's just realizing what exciting time we are. Hashem already proved to us he can he's he can and will do some unbelievable things and just wait for the evolving of the coming of Mashiach. And the only thing that's going to make you successful and peaceful to go through it and help you while it comes is only your connection to Hashem is how much you work on yourself, how much you refine yourself. And I know how difficult it is to do chuva. I came from that place. I know how it is to live all your habits and I know how hard it is to try to leave your habits and I know how hard it is to change yourself and to refine yourself and you sweat blood to do chuva. The reward is as big as your effort. But I know how hard it is not coming with demands that I know cannot be done. I know what it is to fight your and to lose for him all the time. and that he crushes your your any hope that you have with with winning you over and over. I'm I'm in the battlefield. It's not that I'm coming from some high place trying to tell you something that is impossible to do. But I chose to do chuva. I chose to change my my life. Nobody did it for me, by the way. Nobody came and spoonfed me anything. Nobody did anything for me in my cha in the last 22 years. It's all mine. I own it. I don't think I'm doing that great, but I whatever I did, I own it. That is going to hold merit when the world is going to start crumbling down because you can't remove your ownership of your cha. You got rid of some bad habit. You got rid of some sin that you did. Nobody's expecting you to be tomorrow the babasali. But effort is expected. no effort then you're nothing but you put a lot of effort and you put you have the desire that's what counts is going to make you successful or choose to make you not successful but the name of the game the only message I can come now I can sit here now for another five hours and we can read more prophecies and analyze it it's it's almost irrelevant it's as clear as simple to tell you the good prophecies this is where we're heading are you joining You want to be with us? We're going to the best place that any human being has ever experienced. You can jump on the redemption wagon, on the cha wagon. Come, come, come join. It's not so easy right now. Everybody will laugh at you. You were going to be dealing with a lot of situations and difficulties. But if you want to join us, come. That's where we're heading. These are the good prophecies. The bad prophecies, like I told you, is beware. Beware that danger can happen and that danger is all around you. A you got to be aware not to be affected by the danger. B you got to prepare yourself the mechanism how to be protected and to be aware from the dangers and that's only to that's your cha all the rest I know most people are focused on everything else but their spiritual growth. I know it sounds very demanding in many cases, a little bit hard, but it's not what you think. You just are required to go one level above from what you are now. And in a week or two or a month or two, do that again. And in a week or two, and a month or two again, just grow one more level. Add one more act, one more little thing. Nobody's expecting it to be done overnight. Now, there's a little bit of an urgency because anything can happen any day. Don't listen to anyone telling you it's happening now. It's happening in five years. Nobody really knows. Nobody really knows where we're holding. I [clears throat] can tell you already that the whole thing can happen literally in the next two weeks. Hashem already prepared. He always does that. Shem always prepares three, four options that if the redemption needs to come tonight, he has it ready. He's always has enough psychopaths around the world that can trigger nuclear bombs at any nuc at any second. and I have psychopath leaders that can say something, do something. Everything is prepared. Hashem can now give the sign and tomorrow the whole world is chaotic and upside down and everything is prepared and and don't need to do some miracles here. That's for us to kind of have like a sword here. Be careful. Not the time now to in Hebrew we say zigzag to go in zigzags. You got to be now very focused. You got to take all that you have, all the energy, all the hope, all the prayers, all your faith, all your everything concentrating into all your power and and leave the door and say I got I got to go to the complete next level and nothing in pressure or or how you call it OCD. That's what I'm telling you to do. That's what I do. And I don't think I that I look pressured might be very tired now, but um I don't it doesn't put pressure on me thinking that I see what I see what's going on and I I say okay I need to I need to prepare myself for what's coming. I hope for the best. I expect the worst and I pray for everything to happen in a nice way. But I'm not naive or gullible that nothing will happen and everything will be great. And some rabbis, you tell them, you hear them, don't worry, everything will be fine. Trump is our friend and everything will be great. And BB is such a nice guy. And there are a lot of people who calm people down saying, "No, no, don't worry. Everything will be fine." That's very dangerous to tell a person don't worry everything will be fine. I do you have some assurance that everything will be fine. No. So words are powerful but actions are much more powerful. You want to do yourself a favor because you already came here is uh is make a plan. Is make yourself a plan. If you don't work with a plan nothing ever happens. Everything that I do has a plan and then there's a backup plan and then there's a backup plan to the backup plan. That's how I I work. Everything is I'm I don't another another term from the Hebrew we we in Hebrew say I don't draw from the hip. You got to be a very good shoot to draw from the hip and shoot. You I got to shoot eye level. So it's again a term you don't do things impulsively everything has to be calculated and if you don't do that it won't work by the way you'll continue going in circles all your life no plan no destination no stops on the way no detailed plan you'll never be successful successful people always work with plans whether it's business whether it's anything and so much more so when it comes to the Torah The Torah is the perfect time management system that gives you how to be very very productive. We spoke about it last time when I was here in the sh that the this makes you extremely not productive. Most people are not productive. The sad reality most people are not productive all day long. They're productive 10%. Sad sad to see it because and they feel busy all day long. They like 10:00 at night, they're already like this. [snorts] But you didn't do nothing all day long. What are you talking about? You know what I did all day long? I put it all together for a normal individual. It's 40 minutes. Took you seven hours. So you didn't do much today. When I when I say that sometimes individual like you're so hard on them, but that's the truth. Don't you want to hear the truth? You want me to come and tell you, "Oh, you did amazing." >> No, you didn't. You didn't do amazing at all. It took you seven hours to what should take you half an hour. You're not good at what you're doing. We are in a very very very exciting time. And look, I one time I look at the screen. Best plan is no plan. Good luck. [laughter] Good luck. [laughter] Two hours I'm talking. I don't look at the comments. I lift up my head. I got get great advice. I have a great plan. Don't plan. [laughter] Let's see if we have more good advice here. And by the way, I'm not making a joke in anybody, but you know, it it might work when you on vacation in Mexico. No plan is a plan, but we're talking about your future. Let him plan for us. The reality, you're right. He is planning for us, but he's also expecting you to do some action. Not good to throw all your trust on Hashem. Hashem tells you, "Don't throw your trust on me. The plan, by the way, is not where you hide your cereal and you get a lot of guns and ammunition. That's not a plan. A plan is how do I get closer to Hashem. And by the way, pay attention. And I I I can't see the name now. Planning is not going to to to the beach tomorrow. I have to plan my my my uh vacation. My plan is how I'm coming closer to Hashem. Where am I increasing my efforts in building a relationship with with Hashem? Because I know on the way will be difficulties that is going to hit me a few times. I know I cannot achieve my chuva within a year. When I became observant, I knew I had to become Shabbat. You know how long it took me to become Shabbat observant? >> Years. >> H two years. >> Three years. three years that I knew that I have to observe Shabbat but I also knew I can't do it. So I had a plan in the next three months that is going to going to be achieved after 3 months this is going to be added after two months the plan continues that I had a plan I understood I can't observe Shabbat I tried it once I couldn't I was like okay I don't know how I'm going to do that so I started yeah in increments >> no I started in increments I observe Shabbat for 3 hours. I would observe Shabbat from 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 12:00 a.m. It would be 12 and 01. Okay, it worked slowly slowly. I I narrowed it down. I couldn't. So I would, you know, sometimes like in the middle of the Shabbat, I would go crazy. Go out, take a drive with the car, drive around the block, come back. was like a fix like I needed like a smoke or something. Okay, I need to make a ceu around the block. I need to drive. But I didn't put too much pressure on me because I had a plan. I understood I cannot take so much chuva in one shot. So I said, "Okay, for the next half a year, that's what I'm going to do in half a year to nine months. This is what I'm going that's the plan I'm talking about." By the way, the plan not where I'm going to hide my food and my escape plan. I'm going to have a few thousand dollars in cash here and some valid passports. That's a nice plan. And like you said, that won't work. The plan is how am I getting closer to Hashem? I don't know how long I have. I might have another 40 years to live. I might have another year to live. I might have another minute to live. I'm talking about myself right now. I have a plan. I didn't achieve my chuva yet. I might look pretty observant. I'm far away from where my goals are. And when I shoot the arrow to my goal, I know it might take me three years to get there. That requires a plan. It's not like okay. [screaming] No, I have a plan. Okay, next three months I need to go through these books. In the next 90 days, I have to read these books. That's how I did. I gave myself deadlines. I started learning. I was like okay I need I I gave myself okay I have five years to learn the how many how many do I need to invest when I came into the material I figured very things out okay learn one Mishna a day six years you cover the entire mission of the entire shas that's a plan and then you have to follow the plan if you don't follow the plan you won't do it so the plan when it comes to the mission yeah one Mishna a day one Mishna a day you'll cover the entire sh in It's 6 years. >> No, it's 12 years. Two mish a day is 6 years. >> But you have a plan. [clears throat] >> Then you have to do it again. >> Then you have to do it again. But you understand what I'm saying? Do you have plans? >> Nobody's nodding their head but you. >> Good. That's how it should be. I'm not looking at the disaster that can happen to the world. Hashem if he wants tomorrow we don't exist and if he wants he will shmear this redemption stickick for another 40 years if he wants drives us nuts in the meantime I don't know how long I have for me every day is valuable my goal is when that day comes that I'm on the the winning side that I'm with I'm not taking any chances this is not some this is I'm not some uh minor event. And I know a lot of people might say, "Listen, way too much pressure. No, I I can't do it. Too much pressure." Again, my calming peel. It's not about pressure. It's not about It's about you need to get closer to Hashem. That's where it boils down to. What you do with that, you need to figure it out. You have to understand that the will of Hashem is to get your attention. And he got your attention. He got He got everybody's attention. Don't let him try to get more of your attention. So the plan is that when you leave the door, it's not about again the plan. Yeah, she's right. This lady, you can plan till tomorrow. Hashem is going to decide exactly what's going to happen. But nevertheless, you still need to do some effort. That's called you need to do the minimum of effort. The plan I'm talking about is my spiritual plan. I don't do my chuva. No, no, no. And when I guide somebody how to do chuva, it's not like no, no, no, no, no. Has to be organized because you if you do it the right way, then the spiritual growth will come in the right per the right pace and then you won't be taking too many steps back. The problem with most people, especially when they're coming closer to Hashem, three, four steps forward and then 10 steps back. The growth is not gradually and it's not done the right way. Unfortunately, there's no good guides to how to repent because people think to repent is to say sorry and okay, I'm not doing it again. That's one thing. A big part of your chuva is how you refine yourself is where you do where are the changes in your life that you need to look at yourself after 10 years after 5 years after 20 years and and and recognize the changes. Some things you can't change and you're not supposed to change. You just need to refine and then some things you need to change. You need to get rid of. So no plan you you are you it's not going to work. It has to be with deadlines. It has to be with uh how do you call it? Uh another word for deadline. It doesn't matter. You know that you you understood the point. [snorts] How do you do it is you do chuva. You constantly focus on yourself. Where do I need to get better? How can I refine myself better? If there's a certain sin that I do, I want to re reduce that. That's it. That's where it all boils down to. How do I come become much much better? And how do I become much closer to Hashem? That's the bottom line. Troubles will always have problems we're going to deal with. Now, it's going to increase because Hashem wants you to be busy. If everything would be good right now in your life, by the way, you wouldn't be necessarily sitting here and learning Torah and you wouldn't be probably learning much Torah at all and you were probably would be drifting away from Hashem slowly slowly if things would be very nice right now if you had a lot of money and money wouldn't be an issue and you would be healthy and happy and three maids cleaning your home. And when things are very nice and comfortable, you become spoiled, you become numb. As the Torah says you you everything is good. So Shem is making everybody on their tippy toes that you are understanding that things need to change. What is left is me to wish you great success in your path and to to hope for you to really be focused on what you need to do and do everything in great happiness and in patience and understand that there's a much greater plan here. This is not the world that we know is going to change very soon to be a completely different world. start adjusting. If Hashem would just ta bring the redemption, nobody would stay. Nobody would be able to. Can you imagine? Take a man that lived in a dark room for 10 years. If you now lift up the drapes in one shot, he's blinded by the light. He can't see. He can't see. First, you put a little bit of light and then a little bit more light and a little bit more light. That's what Hashem is doing right now. By the way, what you're seeing right now is Hashem is opening slowly slowly the the drapes. If he would do it too too fast, we wouldn't be able to handle it. That's why these little opening of the drapes for us, it looks overwhelming. It's too much. It's too much for us to deal with three, four things at the same time. It's very stressful. But Hashem is doing his kindness because he can't open the drape in one shot. Then imagine how how we how we would deal with we won't be able to deal with it. So just understand that what you're going through right now it's okay. It's okay. Things are bad. Look in Hashem. Have faith. Everything will work out how it needs to work out. Don't stress over the little things. Stress over the things that are important. Put Hashem always number one. When Hashem is number one, you cannot go wrong. When your job is number one, when your looks is number one, when I don't know what is number one, there will be difficulties. When Hashem is number one, you can't ever go wrong. Ever. And trust me, I have this test too. I'll miss the the prayer now. I got to do this. I I have all the same tests and I and and Hashem tests me with that double than usual. He always wants to see if I will ever [clears throat] put him number two. And it's extremely difficult because sometimes you're saying there's no other option. I have to. And that's where Hashem tests you by saying, "Oh, really?" And I had so many times that I saw how when I stop everything and I went to what Hashem wanted me to do cuz that's what I was supposed to do, everything worked out. So put Hashem number one. Understand that that's what he wants. All the prophecies are just signs for us to understand what we need to do better. At the end of the day, it's just good for you. You know, I I am like a little kid when it comes to food. Tell you one little thing, then we can conclude. I'm when it comes to food, I'm like a little boy. On the other hand, my wife is the healthy person. So, I I I don't know much. People ask me, I don't know. They think I'm like the health. I just eat what my wife gives me. I don't ask questions. I don't know what's the benefit of that. I don't know the behind it. You want the wisdom, you have to go to her. That's the 20 years of research. I just eat it. Comes to me with all sorts of potions. The most disgusting. But I don't ask anything. I know it's good. I don't ask what what is this green goo that smells like. Once I used to ask and she would answer. It's good for you. Oh. Oh, it's good. So, but why am I I don't ask questions. The the the health guru told me it's good for you. I take it. It's bitter. Yeah, it's disgusting in most cases, but the more disgusting it is, the more I know it's good for you. But I just shut up. I I I swallow the whatever the the the the [laughter] thing the thing is. And and and that's it. [laughter] And and then and then and then my dear wife, she's like, "Don't you feel better?" I'm like, "Yeah, I feel amazing." [snorts] But what I'm saying is I don't necessarily understand [laughter] what's good in the dish or the food or the but I trust her and [snorts] I know that it's good for me. And you know what? Usually what's what's good for you it's it comes doesn't taste good. You know all the junk people eat here. what people eat here. It's not even food. It's actually not food. 80% of what's on the shelves is not food. I don't even know how they they actually allowed to give it to people and then the fools who actually eat it. You know, today I I I don't when I was travel, it's very hard for me to eat. I have a problem with the kash. So, normally I will be very happy just to eat the fruits and vegetables. Wow. doesn't even have taste. [clears throat] I sent my kids to go buy fruit there. They came with nothing. And I was like, "Where? Why didn't you buy anything?" My daughter just looked at me. She was like And then somebody gave me today some some fruit. I don't have to call it fruit. The strawberry was this big. Red. I don't even know how to compare how red it was. I was expecting a a a a disco party in my mouth. Such a huge strawberry. So red. I gave a bite. Disgusting. Didn't even It didn't even taste like fruit, by the way. I don't even know what it tasted like. >> Genetically modified. >> Yeah. Genetically modified. 100%. Every All the fruit that I touched, it's like gooey. So I have to listen to my wife and eat all the all the good things. Come to Israel where the fruit is real and tasty and it has to actually taste and some nutrition value. But going back to what I was saying so we can conclude and wish you well. We are in a very exciting time. We're in a very powerful time. The world is changing in front of our eyes. What we can perceive as something bad, it's actually all good. Hashem is shaping the world. Even the food, as much as I'm joking and all that, we are used to eating junk for the last 80 years. We have to bring it back. People don't even know how food tastes. Bring a normal individual now from any city in the United States and take him to some health retreat and give them real food. They won't be able to eat it. It's going to be disgusting to them. No sugar. But most people don't even know how to how real food tastes. So what I'm saying is we have to look at everything in a much more exciting way. We're in a very exciting time. Hashem is working his way to bring back bring the redemption. We're going to see miracles that we can't even imagine or fathom that can happen. And all is required from us is a lot of patience now to deal with my situation. But to realize that it's all done, all this is for me to just refine myself and to become a better person. And until I'll do it will be difficulties. Until we'll do it as a human race, we're going to have a hard time. [snorts] Hashem is going to send a lot of Dobermans to pin to to bite us. We need to do it as an individual and we need to do it as an entire human race. That I'm not expecting much. But as an individual, yeah, that's the whole point. Hashem wants you to be prepared to the best version of yourself to be able to be merit to greet the coming of Mashiach. And the coming of Mashiach a you need to educate yourself about that. It's not that some guy will just appear and uh with long hair, you know, and some white robe and sandals and that's what people think. Some man will appear and everything will change. It's much more complex than a man appearing. It's the entire world changing. So if you want to be part of it, then it will it will come with a change. The important thing is to to apply is to to actually do something. You leave this door tonight and nothing changed. You your reward is that you didn't get nothing. But if you did something, one little change, you're smart. You go out of this room tonight and you're saying, "What can I do tomorrow that will be much better than today than yesterday than today? What am I adding to my life to make it more colorful? What? Three minutes to read one chapter of Tim every day? I mean, you willing to invest five hours a day on Instagram or whatever platform you go on. Why can't you take on yourself 10 minutes to read tim two chapters, three or whatever else? Pray. Add one more thing to your shakar. Most people come, they pray and they start from hudoo. That's not how you're supposed to pray. It doesn't matter what you do. I'm just throwing ideas from you. It can be like I'm, you know, and I'll smile one more time to my wife and kids. I'll be a nicer person to my neighbor and to my co-workers and to the stranger in the street. It doesn't matter what you do, but you want every day to be a better person than you were yesterday. And by the way, everything that I'm telling you, you see, I'm not reading from a note. That's how I live my life. every day alone is a better alone. If not, something's bad here. And there are some days that my stock goes back. Um but but I don't let that leave me there. It's going back to grab get momentum and then I'm 10 steps forward. The mind frame is how every second I'm a better individual because every second grows. I have to be to now better than what I was 10 seconds ago. my stock needs to go only up with a few times like you know going down to to gather some momentum. That's how you need to lead your life. That's how I lead my life. I I I how do you say I practice what I preach. That's what I that's what I do and it works. So I can come and and guarantee to you it will work for you. It worked for me as long as I'm doing some hocus pocus. I focus on what I need to do. I don't focus on other things. That's why how you see how the yet has programmed humanity not to do what they're supposed to do by being captured by all sorts of short videos on this small device that everybody has and it's swallowing your time. It's taking all your life. Look at the screen. The screen tells you by itself how long you were on it every day. how much percentage of from that time was actually productive. Don't don't be a slave to that. That's a slave. You know, when you were reading about this the the slaves in it says the slaves in Egypt. I mean we all imagine slaves in Egypt. Of course they were slaves but there was the concept of the slavery to the Egyptian government. So you are there's nothing different. How were the slaves in Egypt? Is materialism is they were busy with the the making the cement [snorts] which was very hard work but for our terminology is materialism. So you are all slaves to materialism. Maybe one or two of you are not. Next was leanima is a brick. I'll explain that in a second. And the last was aodakasha. Hard work. Do you work two hours a day and make $30,000 an hour? No. You work hard, right? So that still applies. You might make a lot of money, but you still work hard. Very few people work an hour a day and make a lot of money. So that stayed and the materialism stayed. But what's the brick? That's the brick. This is the brick. This is a lea looks like a brick. Same size. So that's they they had also bricks. And your brick is an iPhone. Nothing changed. And knows how to control you. with your little box. I'm telling you, you want a successful life, control this. You'll see how your life changes completely. It's actually unbelievable to think how it changed our life, how it creeped into our life 20 years ago, more or less. And I remember when the first iPhone came out and now everybody has a smartphone. And if it's used for good things, good. But it's used mainly for not good things. [snorts] I do believe that we got the point across. Now is left for you to do your change, to do your part. You are the only one who's going to benefit from that. You're the only one who's going to reap the fruit from that. Everything is only done for you. You're not doing a favor to anyone. You can keep going against the stream. Nothing will work out. Trust me, I tried that. You have to go with the stream of Hashem. You go against, it won't work out. You're not stronger than Hashem. And Hashem is not here to fight you. Hashem is here to to to help you. You need to know how to humble yourself. Humbling yourself is being basically adjusting yourself to which direction Hashem wants you to go. If Hashem wants me to go this direction, then I I will go this direction. and whether I I want it or not. If that's the path I need to go on, right now, that's the path I'm going to go on. Now, it doesn't matter what I'm going to do. So, Hashem just tells you, just know how to walk on the path that I'm telling you to walk on so you can rip success from that. Don't try to fight the situation. Recalibrate, recalculate your route and say, "Okay, this is happening right now in my life. this difficulty, that difficulty, this challenge. Where where does Hashem want me to recal recalculate my route? I'm doing something wrong. This is not working out. I must be doing something wrong. I want to become a better person. Do that every day. You'll see that by default, Hashem is shining your your path to you. You don't have to work too hard. And when you're walking on the path you need to walk on, doesn't matter what you're going to do. Your sign that you are on the right path that you wake up in the morning and you go to sleep with the same happiness here that nothing can take it away. Not bad news, not loss of money, not sickness, nothing can take this this this [snorts] true happiness. Sometimes I mean I I I married to my wife for over 20 years but I don't see her much. Even when I'm home I'm busy. She's busy. I walk up the stairs. We meet in the in the in the how do you call and the the staircase. Hey I know you. Oh yeah. So a few days ago I was downstairs. She looked at me. She was like why are you smiling? I didn't even notice that I'm smiling. I was like, I didn't even notice that I'm smiling. She was like, I was looking at you. You were just smiling. And I was like, cuz why wouldn't I smile? So, not that I'm trying to show up for something, but when you do what you need to do, there's some happiness here. Nothing moves it. Nothing overpowers it. Nothing turns that happiness flame off. And I'm not saying I don't have difficulties and challenges in my life. But when you are 100% with the kosh the turbulence and the storm doesn't move you at all. [clears throat] It doesn't affect you in any way. The whole world can be stormy and you locked on Hashem. And that's why Hashem is doing all these problems right now to everybody for you to realize that you need to be locked on Hashem. And you know when Hashem wanted to destroy the world the first time, he put no in an ark and told him just just sit in the ark. That's it. Our ark right now is the Torah. put yourself in this ark because arc in Hebrew is tea tva in Hebrew is an arc but can also be a word [clears throat] in Hebrew a word is can also be said. So to go into the is that I go into the words of the Torah. You're having a bad day. You a little bit not in a good mood. You got a bad phone call. Something didn't work out how you wanted. Take a five minute break. Instead of pulling your phone and watching some junk, take a book, read two chapters of tim. You'll see how your mood changes. You'll see how everything changes. Something didn't work out. All you did is read some Torah, some timolution came. Now you're all nodding. But try that. Next time there's some difficulty in your day. Take a stop. do something that is completely opposite of what you would do normally. You would normally call now a friend and start whining about what somebody did to you. Do the complete opposite. Take 10 minutes and learn something. Do some act of kindness. Everything that Hashem does is for you to wake up and to see what you need to do. I hope I was able to get the point across. the the concept is simple to understand, difficult to apply, but really when you start applying, you see that there's nothing easier and better than that. Especially that Hashem takes care of everything that you need to and you can't yourself. If you look at half the problems that you're dealing with, you don't have the ability to take care of them. You don't have the control over that. And why is Hashem doing that? for you to understand that you don't have any control that just let go, humble yourself, let Hashem deal with it and I'll deal with what I'm supposed to do. I when I have a difficulty, ask Hashem, what do I what do I want? What am I supposed to do right now? What do you need me to do that right now this is not working out? So I can be focused on this and Hashem can take care of that. And that's how I solve most of my problems that I don't take care of them. I take care of other people's problems and then somehow my problems get get taken care of. That's the way to do it. I want to wish you great success and I wish for you to see how Hashem is supporting you and helping you and pushing you to the place you need to go. That Hashem should give you the clarity and the ability to see very clear what he's doing. And you should have the appreciation and of course the energy to do the steps you need to do to wake up in the morning with the right smile, with the right energy, with the right mind and saying today I'm going to do A, B, and C. Today it's not happening. I'm doing that and tomorrow I did today A, B, and C. Tomorrow it's A, B, C, and D. And every day I'm going to grow. And like I said before, I'm not making fun. You need a plan. What am I achieving in the next three months? It's in two weeks till I want to do A, B, and C. From Nissan, I am going to do A, B, and C. Whatever it is, I need plan. I need some type of a a work. How I'm going to do that? You do that. I can guarantee to you whether the redemption comes today or in two years, you'll be busy with what you're doing. You need to be focused on anything. Everything that you need to focus on is just your spiritual growth. Everything else Hashem is going to put in place. So I wish you great success. I wish you to be always happy, always successful in everything that you do. I wish for you to have the merit to move to Isel and build beautiful homes there. And anyone who needs paras should bless you to have. Anyone who needs should have the right. Whoever needs health should all be healthy. And all your problems should turn into valuable lessons that you learn. And that Hashem should peacefully take you to the redemption. And Bazad Hashem is as a whole, as a nation, as a human race, we should all appreciate all the good things that Hashem does for us and merit to see the redemption. with kindness and with mercy.
