We are in the month of Kisv, the month that uh uh can welcome many miracles. And today we're going to talk about how to activate a miracle. Everybody needs a miracle in their life. Uh the reality is everybody can use a few miracles in their life. just that nobody knows how to activate a miracle. And uh many say I don't want to get a miracle because maybe it will take uh some of my merits in the heavens. So I don't want to use any of my merits. But uh that is not something that one should be afraid of. If Hashem wants to do a miracle, it's not going to go off your credit. It's not going to go off your balance. But there are very uh simple ways how to bring forth a miracle. It's a simple way, not simple to do. So since the month of Gizv has the ability to welcome miracles and we spoke about it last week and I'm not only talking about Kanuka throughout the entire month, it's a month of miracles. So today I want to focus on what we spoke about last week towards the end of the lecture on Rhodesesh and how to practically uh apply it. Now before I start since we're talking about miracles I must remind you all that this coming Shabbat is a very special day. Not only because it's Shabbat, because the holy books explain, and I did a long video about that last year, that on the ninth month, on the ninth day, on the ninth hour, the gates of mercy in the heavens are open for 9 minutes. So, one needs to calculate where they are, exactly when the 9inth hour starts. And it's not the ninth hour that is on the clocks. It's nine ninthly hour. So depending on the location where it is, it can be 50 minutes, can be 45 minutes, can be 55 minutes. Depends. It really depends between the distance between sunrise and sunset. Now I'm not going to talk about how you get to the calculation. I have it on my website. Now I'm just going to remind you that if you calculate where you live, what is the beginning of the 9inth hour? Then you have nine minutes where you know that the gates of mercy in the heavens are open. This year it falls on Shabbat. So that magnifies that a thousand times. And I'm not saying it to sound good. That's what the benes says. A benai says everything you do on Shabbat is a thousand times power. You read one chapter of tim on Shabbat. It's like as if you read a thousand times a chapter of tim. Anything that you do on Shabbat is magnified a thousand times. Why a thousand? I don't know. And but that's what the Benishai says. And we know that what I do on Shabbat, if I say on Shabbat, the prayer after eating the meal, it's like saying it a thousand times, like as if I said it a thousand days. So everything I do on Shabbat is quadruple. So same thing here. So the ninth month, ninth day, ninth hour this year falls on Shabbat. What I recommend you can go to my website and a see how you do the calculation. It's very very simple and also on the web pages major cities in the world that I wrote uh the hours but over on that page you'll find the prayers what to say what needs to be done everything. I highly recommend to take advantage of of that because uh ironically it comes very close to black Friday. So it's the same concept of black Friday by the way. Black Friday which I don't know who invented the name and but the concept behind black behind black Friday and for years it was only known in America. If you were tell European Black Friday, they don't know what you're talking about. But nevertheless, now it became more popular. So Black Friday is get whatever you want for 90% off, right? That's you the the the the concept, 80%. Don't argue on the percentage right now, but you can get goods, services, and so forth for a very big discount. And everybody goes and waits outside the Best Buy and steps a lot of other people to get the PlayStation for $3 less. So, but that's the idea. So, who do you think invented Black Friday? Walmart? No. Hashem in invented Black Friday. Just doesn't call it Black Friday. He calls it different times. So, it's not that I know a lot of people tell me, "Why can't I do it every day when Hashem doesn't listen to me every day?" has nothing to do with when Hashem is listening to you. Hashem set times. If you read the Torah, it says clearly in the par of Noah, right after the flood that when Noah came out of the flood, out of the ark, Hashem set rules in this world of seasons, temperatures, and many other things. Times, seasons will come in it also, periods. So, Hashem set everything up. And there's reasons why there are uh days that are more aspicious and days that are less. No, you can't do everything that you want every day. Of course, Hashem listens to you every day. But to reach to Hashem on a regular day versus to reach to Hashem on an aspicious day total different thing. I don't know if you noticed as I'm coming in a man asks me are you Rabbi Nava? Yeah. Can I speak to you? So my answer was no. I'm starting a class. Okay. Can I speak to you after the class? I said, "No, I have meetings." So, when can I speak to you? I said, "Go call my secretary. She'll make you an appointment." You think you're going to just crash on me and I'll have time for you before you? There's 500 people. So, it's not that I don't want to talk to him or can't talk to right now. I can't. Why? There's other other engagements. I have other meetings. You think I'm just going to leave the entire world because you came? No, there's a time for everything. So you want to talk, go make an appointment and your time will come. It's not that I don't want to talk. So it's the same thing with Hashem. Hashem says, "You think I'm just going to give you everything on demand whenever you want, however you want within an abundance." No, you're going to abuse it. If I'm just going to give you whatever you want, A, you're going to abuse it. B, you won't repreciate it. And most important, you're not going to benefit from that. If I just leave cash on my table and tell my kids, "Whenever you need money, here's the cash." First of all, it wouldn't be going down one bill after the other. Somebody would come and take the whole stash. It's here. But no, no, no, no, no, no. The stash is here that every time somebody can come and take one bill, it's for everybody. But the reality is that the first one that will come will take the whole pile. Same concept in a different way. Hashem wants to give us everything as much as we want in an abundance. If he will put it on the table for us to grab, no challenge, no effort, no appreciation, no nothing cuz I have abundance of it. Very simple. So, Hashem also restricts when this abundance can come easily. So, you will appreciate it. So, you will wait for that. Imagine there would be a yonipur every day. You would sin all day long. Why? Let me sin now. In the night is yonipur. I'll get my sins forgiven. So says, "Oh, no, no, no. You wait once a year. Once a year I'm going to make you wait for the day that you can wash off all your sins and I'll give you atonement. But you think you're just going to zoom in, zoom out." No, no, no, no. You want something good, you stand in line. That's it. So that's the reason why there are good days and less good days or I I would rather call it instead of a good day a more aspicious time that there's closeness to Hashem that the bottom line is all that I'm talking about is how close you are to Hashem. That's what it boils down to. Many many years ago I have a friend who's crazy about the NBA. He knows the shoe size of every player of every team. everything that you want to know about the NBA. He's the chad GPT of NBA. So, he took me once to a game. I was in Miami. He took me to a game, Miami Heat and I don't know whoever it was, another big uh team was a big game. So, we're coming to the stadium and my friend tells me, "Wait one minute. I'm going to get the tickets." He goes in the back to the alley and comes WITH TWO TICKETS, 20 BUCKS. I was like, "Woo, that's pretty cool." Till I found out where the tickets are. Row 5,322 at the end. And I'm like, first of all, it took us 20 minutes to get to the top. And when I sat at the top, I was like, where's the court that it looks like the view from the moon down to the world? I can't see anything. What kind of tickets is that? Well, you cheap on me. You're getting me tickets for $20 in the back alley. Now I'm going to sit here and can't see nothing. My friend calms me down and reassures me. Alidug said though, don't worry. Everything will be fine. The game didn't start. Five minutes into the game, I see my friend like this. Oh, get. So, we get up. We go down 10 rows. We sit in two free chairs that he found. And like this, every two minutes, we go down another 10 rows. 20 minutes into the game, I'm on road 17, players in front of me. I feel the sweat of the basketball players flying on my face. Now I see I see I hear the the the screams. I hear everything. The bottom line was is the closer you are to the court, you see the game better. That's it. And that taught me a lesson in life. You want to see better, you want to hear better, you want to be more connected, then you have to be closer. What? What? If you're far away, you won't going to hear anything. You put yourself far away from Hashem, you won't hear him talking to you. It's very simple. You won't hear, you won't see, you won't feel. You're sitting in row 7,000 and you see everything this big. That's it. Because that's where you decided to position yourself. Whether you were cheap to buy cheap tickets and by the way, everything that I'm saying here is an analogy. Don't be offended that I'm telling you cheap tickets and all that. Just that you get the concept. Either you're cheap and you're saying, "I'm not going to spend the VIP tickets cost. I'll get the cheap tickets. I'll sit there. It's it's enough." That's the attitude of most people. The cheap tickets is equivalent to I don't feel like doing it right now. H this I don't think is right. This is too much. You're looking for exits. You're looking for discounts. So you get cheap tickets. When you get cheap tickets, you're sitting at the exit. And don't complain. You don't see the game and you don't hear and you don't know what's going on. That's the reality. It's not that Hashem is doing anything. Hashem is standing and says me a lie. You want Hashem come to me. You think Hashem is going to come to you. No, that's ain't happening. You are not Abraham. You're not Mosher Raben. You're not Ysef. You're not even close to any of these individuals. Hashem is never going to come to you. That's how it works. Hashem loves you. He's not going to come to you. You are nobody that Hashem will come to you. And when I'm saying the word you, I'm including myself in the circle. I'm not expecting ever Hashem to come to me. That's Hashem needs to come to me. Who? Who? Who am I that Hashem will come to me? I need to come to him. Not that I'm comparing it in any type of a way. But do you want me to? You think I'm going to come to you to your house to teach you? No. You want to learn, you come to me. I'm sitting here. That's where I teach. You want to learn, sit here. You don't You sit outside. You ain't going to hear nothing. And again, I'm emphasizing that I'm not comparing myself in any type of a way to to hashem here. I'm just saying that that one should understand. You know how many people meet me on the street? Wow. Raan, I can't believe it. Uh, you live here? Yeah, I teach here. You teach here? Yeah, I live here, too. I never saw you in classes. So, what are you pretending? I know most people don't come because they rather see it on the video and they come here, they need to get dressed and they need to be nice to other people and then they meet people they don't like and they just rather see the video online. They know I'm going to load it online in 3 hours. But you can't compare the video online to sitting here. But going back to what I'm saying, does it look does it make sense to you that I'm going to come to your home to teach you? Hello, do you want some Torah? I'm free for two hours. I'll teach you. That's the attitude, by the way, of most people. Most people that I meet think that they that since I'm public property, I I'm invited automatically to do whatever they need me to do. But it doesn't work like that. Now take that and times that infinity. But you think Hashem is just sitting there waiting for you? The reality is the reality the Talmud says a person needs to look at the situation and say the world was created for me. So really, Hashem has focused on you like it's if you and him that's it that you have. But Hashem is not a f he's not going to much. He says you want some of the goods, you come. It's open. It's free. I said that already. I'll repeat. And again, it's just to get the concept. I'm not comparing Hashem to anything. But the reality is that Hashem is like Wi-Fi. You are now in this room. Do you see the Wi-Fi in the air? I don't see any Wi-Fi. But you are all on the Wi-Fi right now. But you don't see it. I don't feel it. Well, I sometimes feel the radiation, but practically for the for the example, you don't see the Wi-Fi. How do you get connected? You need the code. You need the network and you need the code. If you don't have the network and the code, the Wi-Fi is here. You are disconnected. The result is you have no connection to the outside world. No internet, no calls, no nothing, no communication. You're shut down. Connect yourself to the Wi-Fi by choosing the right network and then punching in the code. No code, no work. Now, once you attach yourself to the network with the right code, then you're attached to the Wi-Fi. Do you now see the Wi-Fi? No, it's everywhere. Can you tell me the Wi-Fi is here or here or there? Where? Really? Where is it? Let's think now technically for a second. Where is the Wi-Fi? I'm not talking about the router over there. The router projects, so to say, their Wi-Fi. But right now, if I had some device, can you locate where the Wi-Fi is technically? And I'm not getting into the technical part of the actual waves, but technically it's everywhere, right? Because it's here, it's here, it's here, it's there, it's there, right? The whole room you can get connected to the Wi-Fi. So, how I'm seeing it, this whole room is full of Wi-Fi. The whole room is Wi-Fi. Cuz if I put the phone over there, it will take it. I'll put the phone over there, it will take it. So, isn't this like Hashem everywhere? Which means the only thing you need to do is just connect to the Wi-Fi. Hashem is everywhere. He's not absence in any place. In the most darkest place in the world, Hashem exists. If you connect yourself to Hashem in the darkest place of your life, he exists. He's everywhere. He's not only in the good, he's also in the less good and even in the bad. But the point is that you need to connect yourself. The Wi-Fi is here. It's available for everybody. You just need to connect. The difference why I don't like the analogy of the Wi-Fi because when too many people are on the Wi-Fi, it slows down because it's taking all the bandwidth. That doesn't happen with Hashem. Hashem doesn't lose bandwidth if everybody's on the network at the same time. And that's something that in this world will never happen. They're trying to do it, but they can't compare themselves to the servers of Hashem. Here in this world, the more people are on the network, the less fast it is because there's spirit internet traffic. Hashem doesn't have that. Hashem doesn't get overloaded. So really the right example to say instead of Wi-Fi is to compare Hashem to as we do to an infinite light and in two and a half weeks we are going to celebrate the most beautiful holiday of our of our calendar. And what do you do? You light candles. How do you light the candles? With the one candle that is called the Shamash. And what is the uh the nature of this candle? that you can light from it as much as you want and it doesn't diminish. You take one candle and you light the other candle that is liting doesn't lose out. The fire just doubles and it can triple and more and one candle lights another candle and another c the light does not get diminished of the fire by giving fire to another entity. It becomes bigger. So the point you need to focus on is how connected I am to Hashem. And it doesn't matter how observant you are. By the way, if you're sitting front row and you're telling me I'm ultra ultra ultra plusic, that doesn't make you a better individual or that you're more connected to Hashem. You're right. The more you are um dedicated to Hashem then there are some titles in the in the market which I don't like those titles ultraidic ultra I got the ultra I want to be the supra who made it the ultra and what so I read another three chapters of tim so it makes me now the ultra what what makes me ultra I want to be the So I'm making fun of it because it's the whole thing is a sham. You want to be an observant individual. No levels. By the way, it's a misconception because the word comes from the word and that means fearful that I have fear from Hashem. That's the title. So if you say I I I'm means that I'm afraid to the word of Hashem. The last time I checked my friend, you don't look so scared. Don't call yourself. If you sin, you're noted my friend. So that takes 90% of the take away the title. Are you a sadic? No. You sin, right? Don't call yourself because you're noted. That's it. I made it very simple. It's almost like people tell me that I'm a boua. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Thank you for the compliment. I am still working on it. Don't call me a bouva. Bal chuva. I hope to be at the end of my life. And a lot of people say chuva. Relax my friend. You are not a ba chuva. B chuva is that you own your chuva which means that you never turn back. Can you say that on yourself? No. You are a good person. You try. You do a lot of mitzvot. You repent but you you also sin at the same time. I'm not blaming you. I'm not coming now with a I'm just telling you relax with where you define yourself. For me to say I'm need to think about it. Am I? When was the last time that I was afraid of Hashem? Huh? I don't remember. So, you're not ready. That's it. Now, how do you measure that? How often do you slander say 50 times a day or only 20 times a day? So, if you still in that level, remove the from you. You're not means that I'm afraid of Hashem. You don't look so afraid cuz you're not. You know who's afraid of Hashem? The one who felt the smack once. Then you'll be afraid. And I'm pretty sure that most of you never felt the real smack of Hashem. And I wish for you that you will never will. But to reach to a level of fearing Hashem, don't don't put yourself in that level. You don't fear Hashem. Okay? And and then by the way, I'm I'm in the same boat. I don't stand on the side and tell you, "Oh, I fear Hashem." If you would tell me clearly, I fear Hashem, then you wouldn't have any sins. You would never sin. Never. If you would be neighbors with the head of the mafia, you would never put your music up loud. You would never make noise. You would never litter on the ground because you're afraid of your neighbor. That's it. It's very simple. You're afraid of some you keep yourself in line. And it doesn't matter where it is. It can be your job. You can be afraid of your boss, which is a different type of fear. When you are fear driven, you are re refrain yourself from doing most of the nonsense that you're thinking of doing. That's that's the reality. And even though I claim many times that I'm not afraid of anything, but I am afraid of certain things because I'm afraid of my license, my driver's license. Normally, I would drive 200 kilometers an hour on any given road, any given time. That's how I like to drive and get faster and it's fun, but I'll get pulled over in 2 minutes. What's going to happen? No license, no car, no freedom. So, I'm afraid of that. So, what do I do? I drive slow. So here, put on the list. Rabbi Nava is afraid to lose his license. So what's the result? I restrict myself from doing whatever I want. Give me the opportunity. I will be flying on the highway at any given opportunity. But I don't because I don't know where the cop is going to come from. And I'm afraid of that because it's going to cost me money. it's going to take my license and I'm going to be able to commute. You understand the analogy? I'm telling you, you are afraid of certain things and that causes you not to do certain actions. When I'm not afraid of the law, then I'll go and break into a store. I'll rob. I'll kill. I'm not afraid of the law. Am I above the law? No. But I'm not afraid of it. So when you're not afraid of something, that's when you able to do it. If I'm afraid of consequences, it stops me from doing the action. Very simple. Now, let's get back to being afraid of God. You sin a lot. So, you're not afraid of God. Who are you kidding? And I'll give you a discount. You're human. It's okay. It's okay to sin and to ignore Hashem. It's totally normal. Hashem knows that. It's part of the program. It's called a yetzer. It's called kipot. It's called many other things that will numb you down against your will. So there would be this restriction. And why? To cause for effort. It would become very easy for you. You won't appreciate it. You won't redo it. Nothing comes easy in life. Especially coming to Hashem. I don't know anyone who came to Hashem truly and it came easy. It's usually about minimum 20 years. So be be patient. Nobody just comes to Hashem and the doors are wide open, especially how you were prior to that cuz you need to clean that before you come in front of Hashem. Hem is not your buddy and he's not your friend. The truth is you have access to Hashem at any given moment. You raise your hand, he want to do the entire universe freezes. Hashem turns around just to you cuz he heard you. Don't Don't forget that. But have uh some type of a reality check. I put myself constantly in my place. You know why? People call me harav harav. Harav. You know what's harav har yourself is harav. Haravki harav. You're calling me haravav. So I can get ego. No, my friend, you very far away. But but she called me harav. Harav means the rabbi. You call that to chief rabbis. And no offense, even the great great rabbis don't deserve harav. It's the leader of the generation. Is that type of a of a rabbi? Don't put me don't don't I'm not going to now start trashing you know that I like doing that. I'm not going to trash now whoever needs to be trashed. But you need to understand who you are and put yourself in the right place. You know why I like the people who slander me online and comment bad things about me and trash me all that? Because if I wouldn't have that, it would only be praises. And then I would think I wouldn't, but my ego would tell me, "Look how great you are." You know why I don't go on YouTube and check your comments? It's not good for my ego. We love you, Rabanava. You're the best. That's the comments. So, I'm looking for the comments. You fool. You're a clown. you know, all this nonsense cuz I need to be put down. I'm going to read now a thousand comments how great I am. That's not going to do good for me. That's going to now make me feel like, please, I allow you to sit next to me for 2 minutes today. Please don't breathe too much because it's my air. So, I'm normal in my mind. I'm not looking for the praises. I'm looking for the for the bad things so it will balance it well. So a voice can tell me you're not that great because this voice is telling me you're God's gift to the world. What would the world do without Rabba Nava? That's the voice here. Why? because there are great comments and thank you emails and when I go to lectures around the world people look at me like relax I'm human as you people think I'm like hovering over the moon and I communicate with sadikim in the night I'm as human as you probably with records 10 times a thousand times more than you to clean I mean so don't don't put me that high. Why am I saying all this? Because it's very easy for me to take the high highway to put myself next to all the people who are adore me that all day long I hear how great I am and just look at the nice comments and I would become such a disgusting I would go back to where I came from. So, so I need the balance. You need it too. By the way, I'm talking about myself cuz that's the example that should shine outwards. So I don't look at myself and add titles. The great notorious, you know, sometimes I go to uh to events the titles in front of the rabbi. Wow. All these titles, translations, the genius rabbi, the important, the and and in many cases you see a lot of titles on the rabbi. Just write person once made a flyer to me, made so much titles. I said the whole flyer is titles. Just remove the titles. You don't need the titles. Put my picture. The people know who's going to be the teacher and put the name of the lecture. That's it. I need titles now. So the only reason I'm saying that is because you need to check yourself where you are. If I would take feedback from the people around me, I would hold myself here. But I need to look at the mirror and then I hold myself here because I don't look at the success. The success that's great. I look at the times I failed. And first I make a ratio. If the ratio of failing overpowers the succeeding, then you're in a very bad place. The succeeding should be at least 2:1 ratio that for every time that you fail, twice you succeed. That's the minimum of the minimum of the minimum. Of course, you want to get to a point that for every hundred times you succeed, one time you fail. But the minimum is that you always are with the upper hand. You fail once, twice, you win. That's it. And you're doing okay. But you also have to really see exactly where you're holding and be true to yourself. So I look at my failures and I analyze my failures. And first of all, depending on the failure, I will determine my level of god-fearing because you know, even me, the great Anava Rabbi, I also have a yeta. And I told you, I'll give you my any day. We'll switch whenever you want. I'll give you my I'll eat your live and you you'll be shocked with what I'm dealing. That's what the TU teaches us. The more that you become stronger, then your grows with you. So, if you put me now in a ring with Mike Tyson, that's not that's not the right uh weight ratio. I need somebody in my level, right? So, I can't go into a ring with a 4-year-old. That's that's not right. I'm going into the ring has to be something my level, my height, my weight that say fair fair match. Now, if I become now the heavyweight champion, so who's going to be my match? McGregor. No, I need somebody the same size. No, I don't need, but that's what's going to happen. You are heavyweight. You don't go against the light the lightweight. You're going to go against the heavyweight. So, you want to be heavyweight in the spiritual and the positive way. Just know that your opponent opponent is your weight. So my so my also knows how to turn me around. But that's where comes the the the element if am I afraid of God or not because the is going to convince you that what you're going to do based on his recommendation you'll be fine with Hashem. That's what the does. Don't worry it will be okay. The snake came to Kaba and told her uh he didn't tell her eat the fruit. He just told her lean on the tree. And she told him, "But uh but we're not allowed to eat." He says, "I didn't say to eat. I said lean on the tree." Like John Travolta and the other girl in what's that movie? Greeze. He was like leaning on the tree. You know what I'm talking about? That's the idea. The snake looked like a man. By the way, it didn't look like a snake. It wasn't like this little spaghetti came into Ganedin. It looked like a man. Hashem in the curse cursed him and he reshaped into a serpent. But when he came to Kava, he came with grease in his hair, nice leather jacket, sang songs with a rose in his mouth. Kava is in Ganeden with Adam and outside the Sam with a violin, a rose in his mouth presence. Now Kava is starting to Oh, there's a there's another guy. I thought there's only one. There's two. He's a little bit cute that one. So, go and eat. He just says, "No, let's just let's just lean on the tree." And after leaning on the tree, what do you know? Nothing happened. So if that so-called god told you that if you eat the fruit, you die. You see, you just touched the tree, you didn't die. It didn't work. That's how the came in. He told it didn't work. That's what the tells you. You don't have to pray right now. It's okay. You don't have to do this right now. Hashem will forget you. He knows you're tired and you're convinced because your mechanism of ding that goes up in your mind by saying wrong false lie. You don't know how to do that to the will come and tell you do this action right now. Steal, cheat, slander, don't do this, don't pray, don't give this person charity, whatever it is. I'm throwing all the examples because every person has their is going the is the evil inclination. He's going to come. It's this voice in your ear. He's going to come and tell you what to do or not to do which is negative or positive against the will of Hashem. Your first instinct will might be but it's a sin or I'm not allowed to or I don't want to but it has this power against the et cuz right away he'll give you like chat GPT 17 reasons why it's okay to do it. You're tired. You're weak. You done this. You did that. Oh, what the is going to convince you? And you're convinced. So your guard or in other words, the fear of Hashem didn't work. He won. So a don't call yourself because you're not really a fear of hem. And don't call yourself because people don't even know what it means to beic. But okay, listen. People think that if they're dressed with a black suit and a hat, they're okay. No, go. That's not the issue right now. The point is that you need to know the path how to come closer to Hashem. It's not that you're a bad person. It's not that you Hashem doesn't like you. Hashem loves everybody. Even when you sin all day long, Hashem loves you. Hashem is everywhere. Hashem is always accessible. The Torah is the tool that helps you find the way to Hashem. Yesterday I spoke to somebody and happens to be secular. It was some business call and and uh I take advantage of every situation I can. So I'm speaking to somebody on the other line, some bank or some whatever it was, doesn't matter. So I started talking to the person on the other line and talking not about the political situation of BB Netanyahu, talking about Hashem. I felt that is in Israel is very easy to notice the person in front of you is not observant. So I see somebody not observant and right away I engage in a conversation because most Karedi people when they talk to the secular they leave a bad impression. So I need to correct it in some type of way and leave a good impression. So I spoke to him and right away I throw my story and I then I sent him this. He saw pictures. Wow. I can't believe that that's that's my bait. At least I have a good bait. But the point was and I I told him a bunch of stuff and at the end I told him you know everything that I told you you don't you don't require to be an observant individual to follow what I just told you because the secular Israeli they're afraid to walk closer to the Torah shalom they'll fall in and be tagged now as a religious person. So they're they they want to be spiritual but without the tag of the Torah. And I gave him whatever whatever I told him. And at the end I told him, you know, this applies to everyone. It applies to me as an observant Jew. It applies to you as a non-observant Jew and you will get the same results. And I told him and just for the sake of the matter, it applies for a non-Jew and the non-Jew will get the exact same results. It's equal to all of us. Whether I wear ayaka, I don't wear ayam, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The Torah, what I told this man, I told him the Torah is not for the religious people. The Torah is for everyone. happen to be that the ones who are observing the Torah that you think it's for them, they just figured it out. But the Torah is for you, you, you, you, and you, for every, everybody in the world, the Torah is for them. Even the Muslims and the Christians and it's for them. The fact that they're going with other books, that's their stupidity. But the Torah is for everybody. It doesn't say anywhere in the Torah that the Torah is simply for the Jews. doesn't say that. So why am I saying the Torah, the Torah, the Torah? Because the Torah is your way to Hashem. Doesn't matter who you are and what's your spiritual level, where you came from, and where you want to end. If you don't have Hashem in your life, you are walking uh on like a treadmill. You walk, you walk, you walk. Imagine you're walking for 70 years. You are going to be walking on this treadmill. And after 60, 70, 80 years of your life, you get off the treadmill, you'll be like, I was walking the whole time in the one in the same spot. You don't want to get to that day realizing that you walked on the same spot for 70 years. This life is very very short. No time to walk on the on on on the same place. And that's most people. And Like I told you, the only way for me to move forward is if I'm connected to Hashem. So therefore, what I'm saying now, it's not strictly for observant Jews or Jews. It's for every person that just wants closeness to Hashem. You know what Ganedin is? And Gom, I'm sure you heard the terms Ganedin and Gom. Ganedin is heaven. Genome is hell, purgatory, or however you want to describe it. Both places exist real. I had a tour. I saw, but it's not really what you think. Hashem is in the middle. Whatever is closest to Hashem, the closer you are to this great light, that's gonna the further you go away, the light diminishes, the darkness becomes stronger. That's again, that's hell. You know what it is to be away from Hashem for eternity, knowing that he's existing or you see him from far away like the tickets my friend got me to the Miami Heat game. That's where you want to be. Eternity far away. Can't hear anything. Can't see anything. You choose where you position yourself. I want to be in the front row. I want to hear well. I want to see well. Want to sit comfortable. Not stand outside in the exit. That's really the concept of ganed and gum. How close you are to Hashem. The closer you are, the better you see, etc. That's it. And that's really what you want. closeness to Hashem and the closeness to Hashem will affect you in this world. It's going to affect you in a completely different way that's going to affect you in the world above. But in the world above, that's what you want. The mitzvot that we do is to be close to Hashem. That's it. Everything that I do, if I'm doing it in a selfish way, cuz I want to be as close as possible to Hashem. That's it. like a great uh celebrity, a hero, uh uh somebody famous, everybody wants to be next to him, right? And I can speak from from experience. You you don't notice here locally, but sometimes in places that I go in in the States, there's not five people, it's 5,000 people, and everybody wants to be next to me. There's a ring around me of 500 people. Everybody wants to be next to me. Why? What's so special? But everybody wants to be next to Hashem. You don't want you don't want to be next to Hashem. Now, let's forget for one second the world above. Let's concentrate on this world. And especially I started the lecture by telling you remove titles. When there's titles, it's not good. I'm kared. I'm reformed. I'm conservadox. I'm a fool. That's what you are. If you titled yourself, I belong to that group. That's the worst. My rabbi is the best of all the rabbis. Oh yeah, I don't remember seeing a competition. Sometimes I hear the conversations between between two stupidids. It's just unbelievable to hear it. My rabbi is smarter than your rabbi. My talking about Sadikim, not the local rabbi, you know, that level. My rabbi is more correct. My path is like the second that you title yourself and box yourself, you already are set to failure. By the way, because you already limited yourself, if I title myself in a certain way, you're limited. Let's say you are what you titled yourself oridic or whatever. Then I'm very happy for you if you actually reach to that level. But you limited yourself cuz you're just kididic, right? You can't be now that. Better no titles, better know definitions cuz the Torah doesn't come with definitions and titles. You ever seen the Torah? Any type of definition that says if you're going to do A, B, and C, we'll call you. Why? I never saw such a thing. Not in the Torah, not in the oral Torah, not in Cababala, not in Zoha, not anywhere that the text will tell you if you'll do A, B, and C, your title or status will be called like that. So that's not the Torah. I never saw in any text that I need to follow those rules, that I have to be in a group. The groups were invented a few a few hundred years ago to the most, by the way. When I'm saying groups, I'm talking about I don't want to start saying names, but just for you to understand. Breast, Kabad, Vishnit, Sans, Mizrai, Young Israel, you you get the point. It's groups. I belong to that. Okay? So stay there and stay limited. I don't belong to anyone. So I'm I'm good. I can go to any synagogue I want. I don't belong to anyone. I don't limit myself. I connect myself to Hashem through the path of the Torah. I don't need to be defined. And that means that if I'm in this group, then my hat has to be like that. And if I'm in this group, then the hat has to be like this. If it's good for you, stay there. But but don't make that the main thing. I understand you want to go with the same rabbi. You want to dress similar. I understand. All good. till it gets to the point that you start slandering the other group. The second that you're looking down at the other group, slandering them, and fighting with them, all your all your group made up is is nonsense. It's false. You failed. And all the groups do that. I never found one group that says that group is better than us. Their rabbi is smarter than our rabbi. Never heard in my life such a thing that one group will say, "Oh, we're a group, but that group, oh, they're the best. I wish I could go to that group." Have you ever heard such a thing? Never. The group say, "Our group is the best because A, B, and C." That group, they're okay, but uh you hear that, you run away from that. That's not the Torah. You ever see in the Torah groups? No. The only thing that the Torah divides us is two tribes. And the Torah did that, which means that the Torah is allowed to cuz that's Hashem. You are not allowed to make up things. So, going back to the groups, groups are made up. I understand different communities, but now it's overrated. It's actually overrated the whole group thing. And what does the end result of all of it? Hate. They all hate each other. So it failed miserably this whole concept. And if it's good for you and you're in a group and it's strengthening you and gives you support and a sense of direction or whatever, good. Just don't look down at another group. Don't don't slander another group. Don't think your rabbi is better than their rabbi. Just be par. Enjoy your group and shut up and don't overlook at other people like if they're junk. And why am I saying all this? Because you if all that I'm saying you're relating relating to it, you're far away from coming close to Hashem. This class is to teach you how to come close to Hashem. Because when you're close to Hashem, everything works out how Hashem wants it to work out. Not like how you want it to work out. But you know what? Hashem is smarter than you, kinder than you, faster than you, better than you, everything better than you. I rather him plan my life. I stop planning my life. I plan my daily activities. I plan my service to Hashem. I plan my relationship to Hashem. I don't plan my life. And if you follow me long enough, you know that I can plan my life. I miss flights, planes. My schedule changes 17 times a day. I have a very colorful day and life. But with not one complaint cuz I let Hashem run my show. I have learned many many years ago that if I want to be successful, jobs have to be delegated. I am doing a job of 20 men. I'm not joking. I'm now telling you what I do. I'm a father. I'm a husband. I'm a rabbi. I'm a teacher. I'm a businessman. I'm a business owner. I'm a I'm so many things at the same day. That the person that I talked to yesterday, I told him tomorrow I can't talk in the morning. I'm teaching. Teaching? What do you teach? I told him I teach. You teach? You just told me you run a business? Yeah. In the afternoon, I run a business. In the morning, I teach. At night, I'm a rabbi. And in the day, how am I able to run the show? because I delegate responsibilities. It's very simple. So for my uh appointments, there's a a secretary that does appointments and scheduling and stuff like that. I can't do that. I just get the note today 3:30 show up here. I don't have to ask too many questions. So for everything that I operate, there's somebody that is in charge of that. So for my path in this world, you know who's in charge? Not my secretary. Hashem. I give all all of it to Hashem. In my home, who's in charge of eating? My wife. My wife is the one who provides the food. I don't cook. I don't have time. That's not my job and the role of my life. I do many things, but it's not a cook. And I and I'm and I don't clean. I know how to clean and I know how to cook. And if I need to, I'll do it better than most people. My wife was three weeks now in America. I cooked for the kids. I was a mother now for three weeks. I have no problem with that. But since I'm a busy man, jobs have to be delegated. It's not that it's degrading my wife that I'll sit and teach while you making the salad. No, it's not degrading here. That's my role. She's free. She does the food. That's the agreement between of us. So, I don't worry about food. I don't know how much food costs. I'm not joking. When my wife was now abroad, I went to the store. I bought grapes, apples, banana. I don't know how much things cost. A woman walks in. How much are the grapes? 10 jeles a kilo. Is it good? Is it bad? I have no I don't know. prices. I don't know how much milk costs because I don't shop because my mind has a certain amount of capacity what it can handle. So if I flood my mind now in the 100% capacity with junk like you do with 70% is just Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and all that junk. You're left with 30% capacity. You out of your mind. That's why I'm saying this. You're taking all the capacity of your brain. I don't do this. This is cancer for me. I don't that's for me. Don't touch this piece of junk. Taking my time. A stupid video. Some some Indian guy or some guy from Bangladesh. Some stupid video that's going to take my time. You know how expensive every second of mine is? and you go like this for 3 hours, you have zero respect to your own time. You don't have value to your own time. If that's what you do, did you get educated? Did you make money? Did you solve a problem? If you answered no to one of the three, you wasted your your your whole day. If you made money, go ahead. You're educated. You learned. Fine. Something in the in the content change something in in you. Good. That's where it ends. I value my time very much. I have very little time in the day to do what I need to do. So, I roll over responsibilities. I don't worry about dinner. I don't worry about if uh how to clean the house. And don't picture me in the house some slob. I clean after myself. I'm just giving you the the idea. I now need to be busy with this. You need to be busy with that. It's not that I'm better than you. That's your job. That's my job. You would think that in the operations that I'm doing the last 20 years that I'm going to have an army of people behind me. Not even 0.00001% 0001% of my followers ever think or or offer to help in any type of a way. I don't know people don't come up to me how can I help you do what you do. I have a few smart ones like that. They see me running around and say I want partnership in that. How can I help you? Because when you take something off my back, you made me do whatever I do. You partner with me. I have a a very little amount of people, handful of people. Yesterday, I needed something urgently done in Miami. I have a an assistant there. I have a manager who's runs the the Florida operation. She's not there right now. She's leaving now. Something urgently I needed done. I put on my group. I need help. You would think from half a million followers you will get 10,000 replies. No. Two replies. Two replies. I'm offering you now in the spiritual world a gazillion dollars. Help me do something in the world to come. You're going to get a reward that you can't even fathom. Two people reply. I'll help. And it's not that I asked them to drive from Florida to Texas and I don't know what. Uh 20 minute task. Go there, pick up a box, take it over there. Thumbs ups and likes and hearts and all that junk. Every post gets thousands. Hey guys, I need your help. I don't need anybody's help. I have Hashem. Whoever wants to help is lucky, is smart. I'm by the way, I'm not trying to to to sell you the I'm trying to give you the idea and I'm using myself as examples. That's the only examples I can give because I can't give false examples. I can give you real examples. And again, don't don't get me wrong. I'm not angry or upset or now I'm going to be like, "That's it. I'm not going to teach Torah anymore because I made a post and nobody came to help. You don't want to help. Your problem stepped forward." That person just now got a $5 billion check in the spiritual world for doing a 20-minute task, driving there, picking a box, going over there. Why? because you went out of your way and you helped somebody that in this particular case it was either this is how I see it sometimes I explain it I need to go and teach now Torah thousands of people are going to watch this class now you think I just pull this Torah from my pocket I need to read I need to check references well now I'm kind of free talking most lectures an hour lecture, 10 hours to prepare. Now I need to now prepare a class. Is it what is the right thing for me to do to sit now the 10 hours and prepare the class because I need to go online and teach it and thousands will be affected etc. or I need to now leave the Torah learning and teaching aside because right now I need to go and do some irrelevant small task, go sweep the floor over there. What? I need to prepare the class now. Thousands are waiting. You want me now to go wash the dishes? You wash the dishes. Let me do I need to do what I need to do cuz right now that's what I need to do. If it was the role changes and I need to do now the dish, I'll do the dishes, but right now I need to focus on this. Therefore, I need you, you, you, and you to help me do A, B, and C. You help, you're part of the system. You don't help, go away. Why am I saying all this for one? I'm giving you an hour preparation for one minute message. Everything in your life will be determined of how close you are to Hashem. That's it. Religious, non-religious, orthodox, doesn't matter. Non-Jew, it doesn't matter. Everything in your life will determine how close you are to Hashem. The closer you are to Hashem, things will work out how they should and life becomes better. You are in a better mood. You wake up in a good mood. You wake up with energy. Ask yourself or just monitor yourself when was the last time you woke up in the morning with real good mood that you just jumped out of bed and started dancing even there wasn't music around today no anyone else but that's how it should be to wake up in the morning happy to jump out I can't wait action I wake up you should see me at home I told you the last class at home people are different Then they would say, "Come and see me at home." Dancing all day long, joking around. I mean, I I and I'm in a good mood all day long because I don't let anyone break my mood. You are not worth my mood. No one can get me out of my mood. No situation I I'm way past that. No individual in this world can get get me out of my If I'm in a good mood, you're not going to do anything. even if you come with the worst news. And I told you why. Because I let Hashem run my show. That's called in the biblical uh terminology shaflut. Humility or anava. The more humble you are, the more humility you have. Hashem makes you and I told you that many times. read the the letter of the was my Torah two years in jail. That's what I chanted every day. Didn't have any books there. That's the Torah that I had memorized. I know the whole that's what I would chant every day. You want to be a good person, you want to be successful, you want to be happy, read the letter of it takes exactly four minutes. It's one page and live by that. But live by that. And when I became observant, I said that's the person that I'm going to be what it says here in the in this in in this letter. Read it today. Go to the internet if you don't have it. Nakmonades letterades is the grandson of my monades. No, not mymones. Nakmonades. The letter of read it. Learn it. Now live like that. You'll be very happy. And what does he tell? What's the key there? Humble yourself. Humble yourself and Hashem will raise you. I attribute all my success only to Hashem. The only thing I can take as credit from the process that I was able to humble myself in that specific case and that that brought the success. I'm saying it in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. I'm successful in what I do in any aspect of my life. I find success. And I know that people measure success is how much money you have in the bank. That's for me number seven. Success is if I wake up in the morning happy with a good mood, good strong mood. That's success. Then nothing breaks me. Not a financial crisis, not a war, not some crazy politician, not some psychopath that is trying to to harm me. Nothing breaks my spirit. That's success for me. I consider myself success successful because I don't wake up in the morning in a bad mood. So again, my gauge for success is not how much money I have in my bank is if I'm able to serve Hashem according to what I put myself as goals. Do you achieve your goals? Do you even have goals? Do you write it down? What's your goal for the next three months? What's your goal for the next six months? I'm not joking. You all looking at me like as if I fell from the sky. What's your goal for the year 2026? What's your goal for the year 5,786? >> Stay alive. >> Stay alive. That's not a goal. That's That's a But you I have goals. Long range, short range. Meeting my goals. I I take that as success. If I tell you I feel that I'm successful because on my checklist I reach goals. So my success again I'm not talking about money. My success is my avodashem. If I'm in a good mood my success if if I have a good relationship with my kids and my wife. Most people don't have that. And you might be the ones who can say I do. I bless you. But most people don't. Most people don't have a good relationship with their spouse. most people and it might be not like rocky and it's quiet but it doesn't mean it's a good one and most people don't have a good relationship with their kids or their parents. So that's for me another column of if I'm successful or not. If I'm have if I have a good relationship with my kids and by the way and and it's not about being arrogant. The reason why I have success with my relationship with my kids, it's 95% me, 5% them, by the way, because kids love you no matter what. When they're when you are a kid, when the parent messes up, that's when the kids kind of moves away. So 95% of the success of me and my relationship with my kids, it's me. It's my effort. It's me being patient, kind, loving, strict when it needs to. Now I'm a father. Now I'm a friend. Giving it. It's only the parent. So therefore I put another check on my success list. I have good relationship with my kids because of me. Not because they're so great. Because I'm the one who knows when to move back, when to shut up, when to raise my voice, when to give a hug, when to give the compliment. I have to do work. I have to do work. I work from home. My kids come to 1:00, 2:00. I don't call them come up your highness is here. I go down to them. How was your day at school? I go down and give them a hug. I I come to them. I invest. So I can proudly say I have a good relationship with my kids. Who will benefit at the end? Who will benefit from this in the end? I know you all want to say me. >> The kids. >> They will benefit. That's why I brought them to the world. You think I brought kids to the world cuz I Well, I I don't want to even say something not nice that I was about to say now. I'll still say it. You think I brought kids to the world cuz I was bored at night. Not too long. You didn't get the joke. Most people didn't get what I was about what I was saying. And not too long ago, I had somebody come deliver something to our house. And he started talking this and then he told me in the conversation it doesn't matter. He told me how many kids you have. I told him I have seven kids. He's like what? Seven kids. So I told him yes I don't have a TV. He didn't get the joke. You don't have a TV. You're bored. So you you bring kids. So I didn't bring kids to the world cuz I was bored. I brought kids to the world because that's a mitzvah. That's what Hashem wants me to do. and to continue my lineage. But I brought kids to the world to educate them to make the to make them good people. I will mark the success column in 40 years when I look now at my kids in 40 years and I'll be like okay I was successful to educate seven human beings to be good people. Then I'll mark one of the last V's of my success hopefully by the end of my life that I'll be able to look down and say in the last 50 years I educated seven souls and I'm very proud of each and every one of them. They became good good human beings. That's one of my goals. You said staying alive. I have a lot of goals. Some of the goals can be achieved in three months. My goal to educate my kids to be amazing human beings in this world. That's a 50-year goal. And I hope that Hashem will merit me that at the end of the path I'll make another check on my list. I was successful in giving over good midot good characteristics to to these seven people. So that's what benefits from this in the world. I'm not doing that to and then when I'm old they'll come and be nice to me. I don't need favors. They want to be nice to me when I'm old means they did an excellent job. They don't want to be nice to me when I'm old. That's their personality and I'll take it. That's what Hashem wants. And nothing breaks my mood. I told you, you come to my house at early hours, you always always see me dancing and fl and I'm I'm I'm different. You won't see me like this in the street. I'm kind of goofy at home with my kids cuz I'm all the time in a in a good mood cuz everything is good. But you just lost a million dollars. Everything is great. I did. Why you JUST LOST A MILLION DOLLARS? I'M HAPPY. It's not too any anything can be bad but in any bad you can right away transform into something good. There's nothing this thing is bad. Torah says no evil comes down from the heavens which means that if you perceive it as something bad you're not reading the instructions right. Read it again. You'll see that it's not bad. And if you still see that it's bad, reshape it and you'll see that it becomes very good. And I'll give you a cliche example. My son went into a car accident a few days ago. Hashem, everything's fine. On the first glance, oh my god, a car accident. And the insurance just told us yesterday car is total. He's getting the full price of the car. if he would sell it, he wouldn't get the full price of the car, right? And not only that, of course, he's a he's a young man. It's an older car, you know, put it on the internet, 50 people come, does this work? Now you have to deal with people to sell it and this is broken and that is broken and you want the car to look normal. You'll have to invest a few thousand shekels to pay. Hashem saved you the headache. Here's the check and you're getting the full price. >> So yeah, at the time of the accident, oh my gosh, I wrecked the car. But and I'm saying it as a cliche because if you just wait patiently a few minutes after the disaster, wait to see what happens. Now you know when you lose the impact the positive impact when you lose your temper or you lose your patience the trick here is to something bad happens move back move back wait to see what happens if you will get angry now you will get impatient you'll start screaming to all directions lose your hope lose your anger lose your patience etc and use foul language the opportunity that was able to be born from this bad thing you you ruined it you lost Shut up and wait the minute or two or day or whatever. You'll see that something nice comes. That's it. And where do you fail? Let's go back to the analogy with the car accident. Imagine now right after the car accident. What's the first word that comes out of your mouth? Either the f word or the sword, right? One of the two. Or both of them together. F. this s right. So what's the first thing that came out? Foul language. Foul language. You just damaged your vessel of your mouth. The real the the right thing that had to come out of the mouth at that point is not F is thank God. Thank you Hashem. That's the first word that needs to come out. You thank Hashem, everything's okay, everybody's okay. Thank you. You flip everything. Now it now the outcome will be positive. You start cursing, the outcome will be negative. It's very simple. Therefore, this leads me to the conclusion of the class. What I told you last week, if you come now and tell me alone, everything is good in my life. I I might not make much money or I have this problem or that problem but overall everything is good in my life. That's really the attitude. I can come and tell you I my I'm happy. I'm in a good mood all the time and this but but you think that my life is not a roller coaster. Every day I need to deal with with disasters. I planned myself and I don't know if everybody can do that. I the way how I deal with my problems is I actually don't deal with my problems. I roll it over and I deal I deal with other people's problems. Now when I'm busy with dealing with other people's problems then I leave no other option that Hashem has to deal with my problems cuz I'm like I'm busy. I'm helping that person right now. So Hashem has to go and deal with my problems. But it doesn't mean that I don't have I don't like calling it problems. We call it now daytoday challenges. I also need to provide money to my family. I the electricity doesn't uh pay itself in my house. I also have bills. So I also have parasa on my mind. I need to support a wife and seven kids. I also have to worry about my spiritual growth, my health. I mean I have many things that I need to put in the front line also. Not different than any other person. But what I'm saying is that if you let Hashem run the show, then there is no problems. There's just the challenges that you need to kind of react to what Hashem does. Kind of like, you know, a nice beach. Not everybody will relate. If you like surfing, you will relate. Sometimes you can wait two hours for one good wave. And you know what? Sometimes the small waves are fun. Yeah. You just sit on your board and you you go up and down, right? You're a surfer, right? You can sit, you paddle, waiting. Where's the where's the wave coming from? In the meantime, you go up on a wave down. That's day-to-day things. That's the day-to-day challenges. It's just waves cuz you need to go up and down. Not to get upset, not to get angry, not to get disappointed, not to get judgmental. That's where you fail on the little ones. And every now and then we'll come on big wave. If you're ready for it, you're gonna have a good time. And if you're not, you'll fall and get up again. Most people don't know how to catch the waves. And then they complain. I can't make money. The business is not making good. My kids not listening to me. My wife's not listening to me. I don't have respect from here. I don't have this. The boss is driving me crazy. If it sounds familiar to you, all these complaints, then then you're doing something wrong. So the conclusion is very simple but extremely hard to do. A you need to understand that everything has to revolve around Hashem. If your life is re revolving around you, you will fail. If your life is revolving around Hashem, you will be successful. And again, it doesn't matter your level of observance. That's why I spent half an hour of this class to tell you the groups Orthodox, it's irrelevant. And by the way, for the ones who got offended that there areic and all that, don't get offended. If you're doing good, you're not in the group that I'm talking about. I'm talking about the ones who pretend to be so great in a group or under a title and really they don't do nothing. That's the ones I have an issue with. If you're in a certain group and you call yourself and you really behave like aid, call a kabat. I give you all the honor and all the respect and that's it. I'm not talking about these people. I'm talking about the people who pretend. Now, why am I talking about the people who pretend? Because there's a very good chance that you're one of them. And uh sometimes you need to understand how you look. I had a friend or whatever, somebody I know who would lie all the time. All the time. An adult, not a kid. At some point, I told him, "I I don't want to hurt you and I and I don't want to insult you, but you know how ridiculous you look every time you talk. I know you're not saying the truth. So, you might think that you convinced me, but you look like an idiot because I know the truth." And you giving such a such a show to the lie. I mean, come on. I mean, thank you for entertaining me, but I read through the lie. You you look like an idiot. You're not scoring any points with me. Le, you look to me like a complete Now, who would tell such a thing to such a person? Very few people have the the the guts to tell a person, cut it off. But I allow myself to say that because you know why? because I would like you to tell that to me. If I behave in a inappropriate way, I would like somebody to come and tell me don't do that. Doesn't look good. I don't see myself like you don't see yourself. You see me, I see you. You scratch my back, I'll scratch your back. I'll tell you your faults, you tell me my faults. But don't in don't do it in a degrading way, in a humiliating way. When I see a fault in somebody, rule number one, quietly, two, four eyes. I'm not going to SAY IN PUBLIC, WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT? That's rude. I will take the person to the side. What you're doing is wrong. But why am I saying all this? Because I'm using now this platform to tell you you might be wrong. I don't know exactly 100%. But if Hashem if you're not revolving around Hashem, that's already the first step of of your failure. And again, it doesn't matter how observant you are. I told it yesterday to somebody says, "But I don't put fillain on." What? I'm telling you to drink water. You're telling me I don't eat steaks? What's the connection? I'm telling you to do one thing. So what if you don't put fillain on? So what's the connection? The fact that you're not putting fillin on, you sin. The fact that you're doing this, you help yourself. So it doesn't matter your level of observance. Hashem has to be the center and you evolve around Hashem. Now to conclude my life and I use it as material for classes. My life is uh uh one long miracle. Everything in my life is miraculous. Nothing that I achieved in my life and you know what I'll I'll I'll shorten it. The last 20 plus years, my religious life, my my life with Hashem, every day is a miracle. My entire functioning is all miraculous. I'm walking on pedals of miracles. That's how I see because if you follow me on a day-to-day life, you'll see that's that can only be divine. And I'm not saying it has to show in a negative way and definitely not saying it to show off, but how things work in my life. And you have to live around me to see that that everything is like what like in in ways that that I'm not a driver in my own vehicle. I put the gear in neutral and I just sit. Going back to the accident with my son, the tow truck came to take the car. Why am I saying that? What what is the first thing the tow truck uh the guy the driver told me? I need to pull the car onto the tow truck. Put the gear in neutral. You don't put the gear in neutral. How is it going to pull the car start smashing everything? Put the gear in in neutral. The car will just go. That's all you need to do. Put the gear in neutral. You don't know how to drive in this world. You don't nothing in this world. You have to tell yourself, I don't know nothing. I don't understand nothing. I don't see anything. I'm a human being. I'm flesh. Look, Hashem. It's you cut this blood will come out. And by that I'm giving the keys to Hashem. This is called humble yourself. Give everything to Hashem. Hashem, I can't do it. You need to do it. Remember what I told you last week in the class the class onesh I told you the trick that the says to do I'll repeat it that you come to Hashem and you tell tellm I I don't have the power to do what you asked me to do you dealing with bankruptcy not you dealing with bankruptcy you dealing with divorce you dealing with death you dealing with diseases everybody's dealing with things. I know people that all day long they're in the hospital and I know on the other side people healthy they have financial problems. They have money they don't have that they have health they don't have money. Everybody has problems and you try to solve your problems. I stopped trying to solve my problems 20 years ago because my problems are not for me to solve. My problems are for me to just deal with, not to solve. I don't have solutions. When you understand that you are not the one with the solutions, that's humble yourself. Hashem will bring you the solution. You don't have solutions. When I'm test with a challenge, my job is not to find the solution. is not to lose hope, not to lose faith, to stay strong in my amuna, to know and trust that Hashem will come with a good solution, not to lose sleep, not to lose my patient, not to lose anger and start screaming in the entire world around me, not to lose my and going to pray. Things don't work out in your life suddenly, I'm not going to pray today, which happened to many many me many many times. No, that's the test. Don't react like with my son in the car accident. Let's play a scenario. Scenario number one. Car accident happens. The man gets upset, starts cursing. You already failed with foul language. You get so angry. Start cursing at him and screaming at him and kicking and banging. And you brought on you such negativity cuz now you're angry. And now you don't have a car. and are you anger this and all you I don't want to give the example too long. You got the point. All this buildup is negative. What would be the result? Negative. Move away from the car accident. Thank you Hashem. I'm happy. Next day go to the pray. Thank you Hashem for saving me here. I'm going to thieve you some donation. The the reaction is positive. What would be the act? The re the end re result positive. What's up a negative result of this situation? The car will cost thousands of shekels to fix. It will never be the same. I'll have to sell at half price, etc., etc. You go, you know that you know where it goes to. A good result. Next week, I'm getting a check from the insurance company for the full price of the car. Your behavior will determine the result of the outcome of the challenge. You want the challenge to be dissolved, behave in a certain way. You want the challenge to bite you, then lose your temper, lose your patient, be angry, curse, attack whoever is on in your way. I have to put in parenthesis when I told you about the 95% effort of the parent to a kid. All parents lose their patience and scream at the kids. And 90% of the time the the kid doesn't deserve it. That's the effort that I'm talking about that I put to my kids. I don't scream at them. They need to really really really cross a line for me to start screaming. And not because of them because I don't let anyone take me to these places. Very rarely you will see me out of my khim out of my vessels cuz I don't let people do that because the the the one who suffers from that is me. Nobody's worth my calmness. I'm calm. I'm peaceful. It's very hard for you to take me out of my out of my space. You can mock me, laugh, and I don't care. I actually don't care. I care about losing my balance. When I go out of my balance, I suffer. I get angry. When I get angry, then it's not not good. I told you already. So, the effort that I do with my kids is when they don't deserve to be screamed at, you can't scream at them. That's my problem. I have an issue. I'm angry. Go bang the head of the wall. Don't scream at a poor child who's four years old, doesn't know what's going on now. The father, you know. So, going back to what I was saying, whatever you react to the daily challenge you're going with, that's what's going to determine the final result of the challenge. You react to it in a negative way, the outcome will be negative. you react to it in a positive way, the outcome will be positive. Extremely simple. And you let Hashem fill in the gaps. I'll give you one another example. Uh uh recently a certain situation came up and the situation was financially and very kind of urgently a large sum large sum not a thousand shekels to be exact 300 300,000 shekels a a nice amount needed urgently to solve a situation now it came as a challenge and Again, the reaction at first could have been F, S, A, B, C, D, R, all the letters, anger. Now I have to do. The reaction could have come in many different negative reactions. The reaction wasn't like that. The reaction was like, okay, I need to go to Mal right now. I'll think about it later. And I didn't think I just pushed the whole thing aside because I had to prepare classes. I had to help certain situations with people. I had to do I had to do my stuff that didn't post to didn't look to me as okay it's urgent but it's not something I can find a solution. So why stress over it? What's the right thing to do? wait with the right attitude because I already know how to apply this system with the right attitude. What do you think happened the next day? Out of nowhere, a phone call comes in with a certain offer with a certain solution. AND I'M LIKE, take this, move it here, take this, move it there. Problem solved. And the next day, the problem is solved. No stress, no anger, no nothing. Just behed the situation. Okay? The same way that he presented the situation, he will also present the solution. If I make space, sure enough, 48 hours later, the solution came. Didn't cost anything. Wasn't much effort. And I'm only attributing this to the reaction, the first reaction of the encounter with the challenge. Now to me, I call this miracles. It's all miracles. When you find solutions like that to serious situations, that's only a miracle. Therefore, I am very clearly I say my life operates on miracles. I walk I feel I walk on pebbles of miracles. Everything is a miracle cuz the the challenges that come are like what? And then a little bit of amuna, a little bit of beton and the challenge not only works out works out miraculously and I benefit from that somehow. That's it. That's the system. So, with that said, I can only teach you what I do. I know how to activate miracles. My whole life is one big miracle. I'm not joking and I'm definitely not showing off or trying to make a joke. Everything in my life is a miracle. On one hand, I'm telling you, and I'm telling you it in a humble way. Everything that I turn to, I see success. And again, I started talking about the success before, but success is not money. making money that's hashem solving problems I don't count success is if I'm a good businessman success I told you waking up in the morning in a very good mood and maintaining that mood for the entire day even though bad things happen throughout the day that's success number one for me be happy truly happy that when big waves come with disasters yeah you feel the anger the the the the the the sadness, but you don't go down from your good mood. And not that I'm trying to compare myself to the butal says on himself that all his great gloim, all his great revelations in Cababala andal was an unbelievable prophet was only when he was in a state of happiness. All the great revelations of the he says was on Shabbat because on Shabbat you're a thousand times more. The level of sim is only simka. So I I I don't compare myself. I rather walk in the shadow. I see that it worked for him so it should work for me. And I attribute my success. The success ripples to many things. I'm talking to you about waking up in the morning happy, serving Hashem in the level that I want to serve Hashem, meeting my goals, fulfilling my dreams, that's success. Having good relationships with my with my kids and my family, not talking about strangers, talking about my people around me, all these are success. Later on, money, fame, it's all success. But I take 0% responsibility. It's all Hashem. That's what Hashem wants. You know what? What's I'm I can write to myself as a success. Move away. Move out of the way. That's my success. That's what I can attribute to myself. All my success is Hashem. My only success that I can say I was successful is that I know how to move away and let Hashem do his thing. And that's why it's successful because Hashem is doing it. I am just successful in moving away. That's that's the that's the letter of humble yourself. Or in the language that I like saying, shut up. Just shut up. You have nothing to say. That's my attitude. You have nothing smart to say, shut your mouth. That's my terminology to And why am I saying shut up? Because most people, you'll tell them something, they have an opinion. But why like that? I don't agree. I didn't ask you. I told you what to do. You argue, move aside. I don't argue. I do what I've been told. If I have questions, I will question. I won't argue. Argue is one of the worst things one can do. Somebody sent me this picture of this like Indian guru sitting in like in a yoga position and a turban and there's a like a white Caucasian person turning to this and saying master how do you uh maintain he says how do you maintain uh true happiness so he says I don't argue with fools so the other person says I disagree so he says I know it's okay Everything's okay. >> You're right. I don't want to argue with people. >> People who argue, excuse me if you are one of them, and I will offend you. People who argue are idiots. Stupid. Smart people don't argue. They know. They know the facts. I don't need you to argue with me. If I don't know, I don't argue because I'm just going to show how stupid I am. If I do know, there's no place to argue. So, I don't argue with anybody about anything. The only thing I will argue when it comes to the honor of Hashem that don't cross but other than that you have something to say. Okay. The only thing I can tell you that I did and doing successfully is knowing when to move out of the way. That I'm good at. My wife is angry for whatever reason. Time of the month something happened. I know how to move out of the way. And it works with my wife. It works with everybody. And the most that it works with is Hashem. Move out of the way. And again, these are simple terms, biblical term, humble yourself. That's move out of the way. Move out of the way means humble yourself. Somebody greater standing in front of you. By default, you move out of the way. Right? Somebody bigger, stronger than you stands in front of you, you move out of your way. You don't want your pen face being punched. That's smart people. Smart people see something bigger in front of them, they move out of the way. I drive with a car, you coming in front of me with a semi-trail, with an 18-wheeler, I move out of the way. You are a big car. I'm a small car. It's very simple. That's smart. So, I'm very good at moving out of the way. So, I avoid confrontations. I avoid arguments because if you're now in a good mo bad mood and I'm right, why I don't need to get into an argument with you to prove that I'm right and to get you more angry? No, I avoid arguments. I don't get into arguments. So what I need you for you to do I don't need it's your decision I'm just coming and teaching you because I can very humbly say that my life is one big miracle every day whether you zoom into the day 20 miracles a day or you zoom out every day everything's just a miracle. I was supposed to be dead I think maybe 15 times. Not that I feel that I'm immortal, but the the record shows I was supposed to be dead a few times already. I'm not talking about my near-death experience. I'm talking about car accidents and other stuff. So, everything with me is a miracle. Every little thing how I I I can't I I I'm going to not even try to everything. How I travel, that's not I never seen anything like that. And everything works out at the end. and me in the back smiling. I enjoy the ride. But I attribute it. I all that I do good I give to Hashem. One thing I take for myself is what I told you. Move out of the way. You see uh uh how do you call it? A group of bulls running. There's a there's a sport like that. Huh? >> Yeah. But there's a sport like that. >> Portugal. They run. >> Yeah. Yeah. I forgot how it's called. They have >> for matador. >> No, not matador. >> Doesn't matter. There's a sport, if you can call it a sport. Spain, Portugal, they let loose a lot of bulls in the street and you have like 40 bulls running and then people are like running for their life and every now and then you see like some person flying in the air with a with a horn in his toes. So you see a lot of bulls running to your direction. You move my friend. Don't be smart. Don't be arrogant. Don't be brave. You move. I know that the best decisions in life that I made is to move in the right time. And again I attribute it to the letter of for the two words humble yourself. You're not you're not losing anything when you do that. It's in other words, go underneath the wave. Let the wave pass you. You can't stand in front of the wave. When a big wave comes, if you stand in front of the waves, it sends you to go. You go under the g under the wave. For me, I will define that as humble yourself. But the reaction or the result for me, that's a miracle. That's why I say all my life is miracles and a two-hour preparation to teach you how to activate a miracle with an act that will take me a minute to explain and will take you a lifetime to accomplish. You want a miracle in your life which you should because if your life is not going in the path that you would want to and I know a lot of people are locked on the money but it's not only money. Money is not everything. Some people it's about their health. They're battling a certain health issue for three, four years. Can't get rid of it. And it can be something small and it can be something big. And it can be financial problem. It can be relationships. It can be your spiritual growth. You're stuck on some little thing that you can't get rid of. A little habit that you don't like. A little thing. If life is smooth, everything is good. You're in a good mood and everything is successful. And it doesn't mean again you have a millions of dollars. It means that life is going in a nice motion. Things are going well. Now when you're really doing it well, you don't have to be a sad. When you're doing it well, everything goes well. If you know how to put Hashem in the center and you're around, then your livelihood, you'll never suffer. You'll have what you need and probably more. Relationships, you'll have good relationships. health, you'll be healthy. Torah, you'll understand what you're learning. Observing the mitzvot, the will bother you, but not to an extent that you can't function. And the list goes on. So technically, if you're seeking for a peaceful, successful life, it will only work with the one element. And that element is called Hashem, which I can't call Hashem an element, but you need Hashem cuz Hashem is the one who runs the show. You want to get married, Hashem will find you your other half. You want to make money, Hashem will give you the business. You want to be successful in your teachings, in your in your learning, in your career, doesn't matter. It's only going to come from Hashem. You're not smart enough to learn for the exam. You're not be you're not beautiful enough to win the pageant. Hashem does everything. When you understand that Hashem does everything and it's his desire, then you move aside and you let Hashem do what he wants. So I don't make decisions in my life. I don't decide to where I'm going to go or where I'm going to live or I leave everything to Hashem. For my personal meetings, I have a secretary that does the meetings. for the taking care of me in my home, my food and my laundry and my uh comfort in my home. My wife is doing a great job. Dedicated wife, she helps me with that. One hand washes the other. I provide, I protect, I I do many things as a husband. She does her role as many other situ I have everything done for me so to say I need to focus on my responsibility in the resume Hashem didn't say I have to go and make money he says you have to teach Torah ah okay but to teach Torah oh it costs money okay don't worry you need to teach Torah the money will come how don't worry you do what you need to who Hashem will provide you what you need. Don't worry. Do do this. Does this face look to you worried? I'm not worried about anything because Hashem takes care of everything. You give me a bill, I pass over the bill to Hashem. I know what's my responsibility in this world. I need to wake up in the morning, praise Hashem, serve Hashem, pray to him, do mitzvot, help people, learn Torah, teach Torah. I know what I need to do. So in order for me to utilize the acts of miracles around me to work, I need to do a certain act. And that act is to move yourself away. Not easy to humble yourself in every situation and to humble yourself in a genuine way. But then comes another small element that sounds very simple, but that's really the vitamin that activates everything. And that's I explained that last week when I told you about how did the Makabim how did they how did they won the the the Greek? There were five men, five old priests. Quanim, they weren't Chuck Norris. They pre priests. Okay, they gathered a few other guys with them and won an army in the size of, I don't know, Russia, America, China, and North Korea together. How did they win? Old men. And I told you and explained it thoroughly last week. They did what's called self-sacrifice. You do something beyond your belief of capabilities. You go beyond the letter of the law. you do something beyond way what you can fathom that you can handle or do, you will get the exact same reaction to your life. That's when you're going to get the miracles kicking in. But kicking in, when I'm telling you kicking in, I mean I my miracles start from not being alive. I can really say I'm alive. People answer me when I tell them uh did you experience a miracle? Yeah, I'm alive. Okay, that's a nice attitude. I'm really alive. I have long lists of miracles. Half my videos of miracles and not normal. And not because I'm great, because I know how to move out of the way. That's the trick is to know how to move out of the way. That in itself, I simplified it. Humble yourself, which means shut up when you need to. Move aside when you're in the way of somebody else. This is just humble yourself. You're not that great. The mantra that I have in my mind at least now I don't have it so often when I was in the beginning of the way how much will the world suffer if I disappear so for 20 years ago I the the result was zero the world won't notice if if I disappear so I was like I don't like that has to be some type of a dent in the world when I leave which means that I have to make that dent here when I'm Five. If I now leave the world, the world will notice Rabbi Nava's absence. There's enough people who are watching learning. 20 years ago, Alonava would die. You never never heard that name. So, you want to make a dent in this world that when you leave, you left a mark positive, of course, not uh leaving behind you loads of junk. So the trick here is very simple to to hear to apply. One of the hardest things an hour and 47 minutes I'm talking to give you one conclusion that will take me one minute. You want success in your life. You want Hashem to operate in your life. what I just explained in the last two hours. Problems solved, goals met, dreams fulfilled, life fulfillment with happiness, things work out. 90% good, 10% bad. You're going up up up. Health is good. Mood is good. You're affecting the world. You believe and you see that you are a positive influence on other. You all want that. You can achieve anything that you want. If your desire is nonsense is you won't get it. If your desire is materialistic things, you won't get it. If your desire is aligned with Hashem, eventually Hashem will give you the materialistic things that you like. Trust me. Trust what I'm saying. Now if you ask for material things or you go after material things and I'm not only talking about a car material things can be also respect, honor, fame, etc. But when you're going after the material things cuz you think that's what's going to make you happy, you'll see that you'll never get it or if you get it, it will blow up in your face after a short while. You won't blow up in your face mean you won't be able to sustain it. You'll have a nice car for two weeks. That's it. And you total it and then you lost all your money. You know what I mean? Or you made a half a million dollars in crypto and then a day later you lost it all. So Hashem is going to throw it in your face and then take it. That's when you're going after something physical, something mundane, something materialistic. When you follow your path, if you like something materialistic, Hashem will give it to you down the line in an indirect way. You're after money and you're going after money, you won't make money. Spend your time there, eventually you'll make money. When whatever you run after, you push it. That's how it works. Whatever you run away from, you attract. I want a lot of money, run away from money. You attract money. You want honor, run away from honor. It that's how it works in this world. Whatever you want and you pursue, you you're in a pushing motion. Whatever you move back, you attract to you. Whatever I want, I don't pursue. That's how I work. And that works, by the way, in everything in your life. And it can work also in relationships. Whatever you want, don't go after. Go after what you need to do, after what the path you need to walk on. And then Hashem will give it to you in the nicest way. So don't run after thing materialistic. Run after your purpose. Hashem will give you what you need. Don't worry. I know exactly each kid of mine what they like. And if I ever need to bring presents and surprise, I know what they like. They don't need to tell me. I know exactly. I can now surprise them all and buy each and every one of them a little small present and I'll be like, "Don't you think Hashem knows that too? Don't you think Hashem knows exactly the little things that you like?" You know when I uh spoil my kids with the things that they like when they really really put effort to work on themselves. So I uh what's the word for that? Uh re reward them. That's it. So I know what they like. I know which child which chocolate or which ice cream or which candy they like to buy this child that chocolate and to this child that snack or whatever. I just know my kids. Same thing as I know my wife and anybody around me. I know what to buy. The only one I don't know what to buy is my father. Every birthday I don't know what to buy him. He has everything. What can I buy him? I ran out of ideas already. That's the only person in this world that I don't know what to buy. All the rest. I know what they like, what they need. And so, Hashem knows that too. He knows what you want. Stop asking for what you want. Do what you need. My My trick is I don't ask. I don't ask. I don't pursue. I don't even say, "Hashem, you know what I want." I know he knows what I want. I do what he wants. It says in the Mishna, "You want him to do your will, then make your will his will." Very simple. All this can be titled under one act that is called messes. The kashmon they won the war in Kanuka. Five men and a few other helpers because of nephesh. When you do a sacrifice then Hashem does the exact same sacrifice to you. You need a big miracle. The sacrifice has to be big. That's how I activate miracles in my life. And that's how I operate all my life. And I'm not saying it to exaggerate, to show off, or to annoy. I see myself as I'm walking on pebbles of miracles. I know that every challenge that Hashem throws, I already see how the miracle will happen here. And I'm talking about money. I'm talking about traveling. I'm talking about everything. Everything somehow works in the most miraculous way. And even when the most weirdest, horrible, bad things happen, you wait quietly for a day or two or an hour or two and you see how it was part of the plan. Now, how do you do this? How do you do this sacrifice? Two hours I'm talking. Now how do you do sac self sacrifice is that you do a certain act beyond the most effort you can do. That's why it's always good to do one and not five. When you take one aspect in your life and you saying I'm going on this, that's when you're able to activate it. If you add more, of course, more is the power. 20 plus years ago, I was facing 40 years in jail with a federal indictment. That required a pretty serious miracle. This is not like giving $180 in charity and reading a book of Tim to get out of that. That required a heavyweight miracle. The mess nephesh that I did of course is becoming observant but it was 22 hours a day and in many cases not even that it would be not even sleeping. I was like a machine in serving Hashem in a ways that wasn't normal or human to me. But that required to such a miracle. You have to see in your life if there's anything in your life that you're doing is that you giving over you're giving over your soul. Saying in other words, I'll give you my life to get the job done. Self-sacrifice. Now, we're very nature-wise, we're arrogant and we're self-censored. So to do self-sacrifice is one of the hardest thing for us. And if something comes easy to you then it's not self-sacrifice. Mesh has to come to you with sweat, tears, pain and everything around it. So I'll give you one example out of many and maybe I'll need to give a few other examples. Imagine now an observant individual prays three times every day, learns Torah, eats kosher, the whole thing. an observant individual but that individual is extremely extremely judgmental and that's his failure judges people all the time and according to the judgment of course then fails the nephesh here will be that under no circumstances nothing should happen in the world that I'm ever going to do this ever now it sounds easy till the comes and explains to you all the reasons It's okay for you to do it. So you miss the point. The ne is that you choose something in your life. Of course it has to be related to the Torah. Although in a macro in a small way you can do that with other things that not so much to do with the Torah. And I would actually recommend that cuz I did that with quitting drugs, alcohol, and smoking. Uh I did that with getting off many of my bad habits, addictions and bad habits which are not Torah related. So but it's the same method. It's the same idea that you have to take something and you know let me take it for the sake. Let me do sell it in an extreme way. When I needed to to to quit drugs of course it was at a point that I I I want it. You don't want it won't work. But the fact that I want that's nice but the body wants the drugs and the mind and the nama and everything and the environment. I quit everything that I quit like that. I don't break it into segments. Smoking one shot. Everything I I I if I want to quit it's right now and never ever again. So 95% of what I quit is successful because I never went back to it. And 5% are still in the in the works. But the way to quit something is that you the switch is that if I do it, story is over. Now nobody has that mechanism set in their mind the right way because I don't think people can handle that. You have to understand that at any given moment. Any action or decision that you can make can make the story over. Right? Yesterday something happened in the morning. I told you I don't let things get me out of my my calmness. And the I told you my he knows how to do it to me. So he caused a chain reaction in the morning of like six, seven, eight events that should cause me to stress out tremendously. Certain events from something small as the coffee spilling and a chain event of all sorts of things that normally should cause me to lose my temper, lose my anger. And of course, it's a snowball. You lose your temper, you get more angry. You get angry, you break something. Now you broke it, now you're more angry. And you know what I'm talking about. The made for me like a surprise party. You know, instead of saying surprise and a birthday cake, it was one event after the other. In the course of maybe 20 minutes of everything not going right and things falling, breaking. It's like that. In a normal situation, you lose your not only you lose, you lose your mind. You're like you start screaming. Whatever it is, however you react to a situation like that. The first few events I'm laughing then the other ones I'm like die and after more I'm like kalas kalas is like enough but not getting angry or upset. But I saw how it's working to for that one moment that I'll get upset. And where did that moment come? I was driving then I already left the house went into the car and and I felt how the wants me to get upset and the second that I was about to lose the battle and get upset the voice of reason came into my mind and said if you just going to do now this because I was in the car and I was part of the chain of events that went wrong is being late. So, what do you do when you're late? You step on the gas. And when you're very late, you step hard on the gas. And the voice of reason came and said, you're going to run somebody over. One second of the wrong attitude, wrong thought, wrong decision of why you want to run somebody over, kill them, and go to jail for the rest of their life. So this is the example that I'm giving you that one little thought you you ruined the whole thing in one shot. Sometimes one wrong fast act ruins everything. You know how many people I saw pulling a trigger? That's it. You many times I didn't pull a trigger cuz I had some type of common sense. And I'm talking a real trigger now, not uh instincts. And I saw people putting a trigger very fast and then you can reverse it, my friend. You know, just shoot. So I take that as my warning when I come to nephesh. If I decide now I need a miracle, I need something done. I need to do a nephesh. If I don't do it, it's pulling the trigger. irreversible. That's the weight you have to take with it. If you don't, it won't work. It will work three, four times and then it's I will tire you. It's stronger than you. I saw many, many, many people. I teach thousands of people. So, I can easily give reports. Most people don't know how to do the nephesh that sacrifice it fails after three, four attempts and then the miracle doesn't kick in and then they complain all day long. Hashem didn't listen do anything. You didn't do it. You want now a million dollars. You think you're going to get it for free? I'm going to make you work hard for that. Hashem says, "You want a miracle? Oh, you're going to work hard." And the only way to activate a miracle in such a way, it's called nephesh. It's self-sacrifice. The entire Jewish history in the last 5,000 years is based on nephesh. People giving their life but to get the job done. Now here you're not required to give your life. 90 years ago millions of people required to give their life in order to do that sacrifice. Whether it's the Holocaust, Spanish Inquisition, programs and many other things and not even in the Jewish religion, people sometimes need to give their life. That's their sacrifice. Our generation right now, we don't really is we're not that required for that to give our actual life. But you are required to do and the nephesh has to be on the Torah. If you feel your life is not walking in the rhythm, it's not flowing in the rhythm you would like to or you feel that the path you're walking on is very bumpy with no much success and not much light and not much positivity and you feel doors are closing in your in your path, opportunities fail, ideas don't come to fruition, your desires, dreams. If you feel that everything that I'm saying now, you're saying yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's not that Hashem doesn't like you. It means that you a are walking on the wrong path of your life. You just to figure out what's your path to walk on. But that might be Hashem telling you, in other words, you're not doing anything special for me. Why would I do anything special for you? I'm giving you the exact same volume you're giving to me. You give it what's called, I'll give you, too. You come and work two hours a day. So I'll only give you two hours worth of work. The more you give, the more you get. Come upanim. What you do, that's what's going to come. That's it. When I need big results, I need to put a lot on the on the line. It's very simple. Now when I need a miracle in my life whether I need money I need to get married I need health I need salvation I have lawsuits I don't know what you're dealing with you need miracles in your life my friends so you can activate a miracle by taking something in your life one aspect and saying this is going to be the part in my life that I cannot fail that if I fail All bets are done. Everything is over. Now, that's not what's going to happen, by the way. That has to be the attitude in my mind. The day that I woke up from my near-death experience, the echo that I had in my mind, Hashem told me, "The next time you touch drugs, you die." So for 22 years I didn't touch drugs because the next time I touch drugs I will die. So the next time I want to die I know how to do it. But that's what Hashem told me. There's no negotiation here. That is pass. The same way, by the way, Hashem told me the same way that he told me no more drugs, no more stealing, no more te, no more no more anything. But not everything is in the level in my eyes of that's the end. Certain things in my life, if I fail, that's the end of the game. what's called in the Torah if somebody comes and tells you bow down to this idol saying in other words you believe in the idol and not in God or I will kill you you have to you tell the person kill me it's called not allowed to do that there's certain sins that you have to tell the person who's ordering you you're going to have to kill me I'm not doing that and you have to die for So and again most not but you want to take a few aspects in your life and do it that you're going to get killed if you do it and and that's where you want to put now the can be I'm going to pray three times a day. Most observant men, they look like they pray three times a day, but the majority fake it and half of them don't even show up. So, whatever. I'm just saying one example out of many. It can be you choose. I'm not going to even give you examples. When I want to activate a miracle, I choose something that is extremely hard for me. Extremely hard. the one that I want the most not and that's what I choose and I say that's going to be the and why am I choosing the hardest one because that's where there's going to be a challenge I don't choose the easy ones there's not going to be a challenge then if there's no challenge there's no self-sacrifice there's not going to be a miracle you can't fool yourself you can't say oh I will do a b and c no no no no Go to the darkest room in your mind. What is the hardest thing for me to do? What is the hardest thing for me to do in Abu Datm? Pray. Give charity. Not to slander. Learn Torah. What? What? You must have something that is the hardest thing for you or you look at it as the most irrelevant or important thing in regards to Hashem in your life. And that's where you go after. you go after the hardest thing in your life. And again, serving Hashem, not I need to quit smoking or what I'm not talking about this right now. I'm talking about your service to Hashem. If you need to quit smoking, alcohol, whatever you addicted to, whatever bad habits you have, that's a whole different class. I'm talking about right now. How do you activate a miracle? Now, one should not even call it a miracle. How do you invite Hashem into your life? That's it. If you are able to invite Hashem into your life, that means Hashem is with you. Can something wrong be when Hashem is with you? No. A few months ago, my son's friends, they went to Oman before Roshana. The time I went I my son didn't go. I told him, "Why? Why didn't you go?" It was too late. And then you know he told me, "I rather go with you. It's much more fun to travel with you." Well, of course it's much more fun to travel with me. You go first class, nice cars, good restaurants, everything is great. I of course it's fun to travel with me. When you travel with your friends, you go on a bus with a backpack and you eat like a a tuna can. You travel with me, it's in a nice car, nice plane, nice hotel, nice food. Do you want to travel with yourself or do you want to travel with Hashem? I travel with Hashem. So I go VIP. That's I don't even call it a miracle. I call it inviting Hashem into my life because when Hashem is in my life, I have a VIP around me. Everything around me will be good. The food will be good. The accommodations will be good. It's God. So I just need to invite Hashem into my life. How do I invite him the most into my life is when I face to face my biggest challenge and I crush it. That's and I invite that light into my life. So everything works out and what I want happens and I am successful because I was able to face my biggest challenge and not give up and fight it with my teeth. Because if I won't win, he will win and I'm done. That's it. Survival. If you're going to start a fight, not you, everybody else here in the street with a random person, most likely you will lose. But if you will start a fight, not start, somebody, a terrorist will try to kill you, your fight will look completely different because you're fighting for your life. Suddenly, you will see a different person. You will be pulling eyes out. You will do whatever you need to do to fight a man twice your size cuz you're fighting for your life. Random fight. He'll be like, guarantee something will attack you and you need to survive. You suddenly will you will use anything that you have to save yourself. Same thing here. If you're looking at the challenge in front of you as a h then the challenge will eat you alive and you didn't do nothing. When you understand that the challenge that Hashem put in your life is for you to knock down and if you won't knock it down, it will knock you down. That's already survival mode. That's when you activate that you don't have an option. If there's options, no. You won't do. When there's no options, then there's no other option. Then you have to do it. And when you do it, tada. Suddenly the box of challenges exploded it with B. Beautiful confetti everywhere. Ah, surprise. But you have to do the first effort. Hashem is not going to do it for you ever. No assistance in in there's no say in there. Say it means help from above. 99.999 I will I can say 100 but 99.9999 on everything that you do has help from above. Other than that you won't be able to do it. Guaranteed. The Talmud says you can't even move your finger unless it's approved from above. There's a committee above looking at you governing every move and you can't even blink without that committee which of course is governed to Hashem allows that. But when it comes to nephesh, Hashem doesn't help. He says it's all you. You want the fullblown package, you have to give the full-blown package. So, I can tell you it works. I can tell you I tried many times to apply this and saw the result in front of my eyes. And I'm telling you, I mean, my history can speak for itself. And there's no reason why you can't do it. And now you have more opportunity. It's the month of Kisv. is a month that has already in its spiritual DNA is miracles like Nissan Nissan and Kisv it's month of miracles miracles are just here black Fridays just take it just like that so this coming Shabbat I told you is one gate opening I'm not going to elaborate on that I have a lot of information on my website uh onorg about the ninth month ninth hour and ninth day 9th hour. You have 9 minutes. 9 minutes. Gates of opportunity open. Are you going to or are you going to sleep? You want to You can grab in those nine minutes, but you can't grab the whole year. I know from previous years, every time I advertise it, people follow that. They they call me, email me. You can't believe I won the case. The cancer has disappeared. I'm not joking. I'm not joking. I've seen with my own eyes things that don't make sense. Dead people come to life. Cancer cells disappear. Tumors disappear. Poverty turns into wealth. I've seen things in my eyes. I I on myself and on others. On myself, I applied many times this in a way that you can't even believe. And I went sometimes on little things, not on big things. The the the definition of the sacrifice is that whatever you chose, that's it. There's no failure there. So that can be done in something big if you need a big miracle. But I would go misses on little things. Little little things on little things that if I didn't do it, it must one might call it neurotic. It's not neurotic. It's doing it right till you get it right. But once you got it right, the the returning light from your action, you have to see it to believe. And very few people experience miracles in their life. So now I'm giving you I wanted this class to be short. I told myself from yesterday the class has to be short. The class has to be short. It's going to be no more than 45 minutes. I people don't like the long classes. I got to do it short. Two days. That's what I'm telling myself in my mind. So it's very short. 2 hours and 16 minutes. So I'm going to have to end very soon. So it will be very very short. But I'm telling you, A, you can there's no difference between you or anybody. Any person can do it. B, now you have extra because it's the month of Kisv. You have a lot of there's a very a lot of days in the month of Kisv. Just follow my WhatsApp. I I I post all these days, the 28th of Kisv what you can do on that day on that day. And now on the ninth day of the ninth month and the ninth hour, it's this Shabbat. So take advantage of that. Now to come into the month of miracles and demand the miracle won't work. You need to come and do your sacrifice and that's where it ends. You don't ask for anything. I have never asked Hashem for anything. I mean when when when I was real real in the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of my existence, that's when I asked Hashem. That's 20 years ago. Now I don't ask Hashem anything. He knows what I want. He knows what I need. The last 20 plus years, he gave it perfectly. I need to interfere with his protocol. Why do I need to bother him? Everything that I need, I get. I do my part. It's a good partnership. He does what he needs to do. I have no complaints. I delegated the responsibility to him. I don't look into his side and I'm not expecting anybody to look at mine. I do my part. But I can tell you and I'm I can only say it all myself. You do what I'm telling you. You'll see the results. There's no there's no other way to it. It's black or white. You sacrifice something, you'll get it back. Why do you think that a third of the Torah is only talking about animal sacrifices? The main thing of our entire religious life is offering sacrifices. Now we do it with prayers. Our entire existence is leaning on beta mikdash. Beta mikdash, the holy temple. What do you think they're doing there all day long? It's one big barbecue. You know what's going on in beta mikdash? It's all day long. You know how big the altar is? People think it's like a it's a like a grill. The altar is three stories high. You know how massive the altar is? You can have 40 men on it. That's how big it is. It's not some barbecue that you put some uh hamburgers on. So our entire existence of serving Hashem is sacrifices, but not necessarily the animal. The sacrifice is that I give something of myself with no desire to get anything back. That's it. And I give something of myself. Everything is a sacrifice. Your relationship with your wife has to come with a lot of sacrifices. Wife, husband, your relationship with your kids, your relationship with Hashem has to come with sacrifices. Everything has to come with sacrifices. You want to be a good athlete, you comes with sacrifices. You want to be a good businessman, it will come with sacrifices. You're not going to make millions of dollars lying on the beach all day long. You lie on the beach after you made the millions of dollars. But if you lie on the beach all day long, bum, drinking, drugs, you're not going to make money, my friend. So everything needs to come with a sacrifice. Now when you want the big things in your life, then the sacrifice has to be big. You need a big miracle in your life, the sacrifice have to be big. Don't ask me right now how big. The bigger the miracle, the bigger the sacrifice. And the rule is when you're doing something that you have to have it in your mind, I cannot fail. If I fail, I die. That's it. That's how I would chant to myself. I was in many situations in my life that I needed to just maintain calm and wait. And in my mind the chant was help is coming wait help is coming and if not I would die. I was in many situations like that. I was also in the army. Some situations you need to wait sometimes 10 hours till help comes and you might be bleeding or you might be squashed or whatever it is or you're in in a bad situation you need to hold hold sometimes you need to hold your head up 10 hours 4 days half a year that's by understanding if I let go then I die that's it that's how it works And you know when it kicks in, when real things happen. Look now, October 7 and many other situations. People did unbelievable things. I know some soldier I told you, she got shot 17 times. 17 or 19 times. She was under a pile of bodies for like 22 hours. First of all, wounded and bleeding. Bodies heavy on her. You know how heavy a body is? It's not what you think. It's not 60 kilos of the the soul leaves. The body becomes heavy. How can you survive being squashed under bodies bleeding for 17 hours and you know how? Cuz in her mind, if I close my eyes, I die. You You have to keep yourself up. Now, that's an extreme situation. But what I'm saying is the mess doesn't come easy. If you want to activate a miracle, if you sat already two and a half hours and watched this video and you need to activate a miracle and you want to, I'm already telling you very easy to say, very easy to listen, extremely hard to do, extremely hard to do. But the result is guaranteed. You are guaranteed. I guarantee to you, I don't even send you to other people. I'll guarantee I will guarantee to you that if you do self-sacrifice on one thing in your life, but in a real way, I will come and guarantee to you that you're going to see a miracle in your life cuz I've seen dozens when I do that. And then that I do sometimes it's on something small, something small, right? That's the thing. You do it on small things then you do it on big things to do on big things. It's very you need to be I started mis on small things even on little little things can't think now of any example that you might relate but anything but it has to be with and you can do it 10 things at the same time I don't recommend I recommend to take one challenge you have for one person it would be about lying another person would be slandering another person cheating ing, another person stealing, another person showing up to pray, another person praying, another each one has their one big challenge. When I started my way, it was nothing to do with the Torah. My first two big things that I changed when I decided to change my life was not to lie and not to use foul language. That was the two big challenges I had when I started. You know what? It took me a year, a year to control my mouth, but I wanted it. And that was a nephesh that I would be so focused on how I talk and then I would talk in a conversation and would start the word and stop myself in the middle of the word. The nephesh was locked on the target. I cannot talk like this anymore. Cannot do this anymore. Which requires a lot of responsibility, maturity, and much more. But since it's the month of and it's much more accessible then work the muscle when it's easy now this coming Shabbat I told you a very spicious day 9inth month ninth day 9th hour I have the information on my website for the video the link will be underneath it on the 28th of kisv shakes the heavens there are days like I told you in the beginning of the lecture that it's just everything is aligned and that's when you just need to apply that's anaton in apicious time. That's what's happening on the ninth month, ninth day day, ninth hour, 9 minutes, you just need to align yourself underneath the light and when the time comes, you're ready to get it. And that's everything with neves. And again, Mr. Wesh is when I sacrifice something. I started telling you about the holy temple. The concept of sacrifices is not killing animals and eating them. Sacrifice in Hebrew is called comes from the root closeness. When we sacrifice something in Hebrew, what's the result? And I become closer to Hashem. Means I do a sacrifice. Whoop. I came closer to Hashem. Like I told you in the beginning of the class, Hashem is there. The Wi-Fi is here. You just move closer. You don't move closer. Don't complain. You can't hear. So the Quran, the sacrifice is what will bring you closer. So you need to sacrifice a lot of things in your life. Simple as that. You know how to sacrifice. The result will be soon to come. You need something big in your life. Self-sacrifice. I'm going to dedicate this five minutes or this hour or that $100 or whatever it is. It's only to Hashem. When I'm talking about the little things, it's big things. But I'll tell you what's I told you thousands of times not to wake up in the morning with your phone, right? Why? Because the phone has a clip in it. It pulls you right away. You check your emails, your WhatsApp, your SMS. It moves you away from focusing on Hashem. It sounds to you something minor, right? What's the big deal? Waking up with a phone. What's the big deal? Well, it is a big deal. I already elaborated on that. You don't want to wake up with your phone cuz the first thing you do when you're holding the phone is you check your messages. And all it takes is one message to get your attention or some notification or some news or something and you right away open the phone. The first thing that you met in the morning is the phone which means you're going to be glued to it the whole day. The first thing you want to meet in the day is Hashem. I don't touch the phone. The first hour of the day, no phone. Now, one can say, "Okay, what's the big deal? the nephes that if I touch the phone I die. I made a definition. First hour of the day, I don't touch the phone. I should be put to death. I'm not touching the phone because that's the decision I did. And you know why? Because when I spend time on the first hour of the day on the phone, I check my emails and my WhatsApp and my Facebook and my Tik Tok and my Instagram and I read the news and I go check my bank account and I go check my crypto and my stocks and I go check everything and the only thing I didn't do is check myself and go to the mikvah and pray. So I pray three hours after I woke up. So, who's first, Hashem or your business? I don't touch anything because it's going to distract me from what I really need to do. And what I really need to do the first thing when I wake up, wash my mouth, wash my body and start praying to Hashem. And after I'm done praying to Hashem, then go on your Instagram and go on your Tik Tok and go do whatever you want, which I don't recommend. Don't do it all. But when you start with a day with a phone, you didn't start it with Hashem. That's it. Your day will be malus. That's how your day is going to be because you started your day with the clip. What in what pulled your interest is what Trump said or how much money you made in your crypto or what was the I don't know news here and there or whatever stupid nonsense somebody sent you. That was their first priority. So you prioritize that over Hashem. So the whole day Hashem is going to push all the materialism into your face. You prioritize that. Take it. You won't be productive in your day of work. You don't won't be productive in anything. Now take scenario number two. You wake up in the morning, no phone. I don't need to check anything. The only thing that's on my mind is to say and then to go wash brush my teeth and say that's what I need to that's my focus if I don't do that I die now take that attitude you'll never touch the phone in the morning so I take little things I look at it as a little thing because the second you break your own rules or your own sacrifice then you let in The light goes out, darkness comes in, you failed, and that's it. Mark it as a failure. So, I know to many people it sounds like, what's the big deal? So, I'll check my message when I wake up. It's a big deal because that checking of the message takes you to take check another message, another email, another post, and before you know it, instead of praying first thing in the morning, you pray at 11. And it happened to me many times that I gave president to important things and I dealt with the important things and then found myself praying shah at 10:00 in the morning or not and then understanding first I do my obligations because I'm not I'm not Superman. I'm not here to save the world. So you you don't need to deal with problems. You need to deal with Hashem. He will deal with the problems. And you know how it works when I push the whole life aside and I deal with Hashem, everything works out by itself because it's not my problems. So since I wanted the class to be short and I have much more to say, I'm going to actually apply what I just told you before that I know when to shut up. I'm going to shut up here with concluding that you are the designer of your life. The kadu is the engineer but you are the designer. The engineer will break the structure. You can't change the structure in your life. Don't try to change ever the structure. Figure it out what it is. That's why we're learning all the books that we're learning here. figure out what's the structure because once you made the structure that cannot be changed like a building the structure is made of cement you can't change that the design okay inside the floor we'll do the walls like this and the walls like that and we'll put the wall here and the wall there that's design the structure Hashem does you can't change it don't try to change it you're going to fail miserably the design you can you have a responsibility. You have control over how the day will be. I can serve Hashem every day the same. But I can serve Hashem that Hashem is number one and I can serve Hashem that Hashem is number five. So the sequence or the equation is very simple. You want something miraculous happening in your life. You know what? Let me backtrack. If your life is smooth and you are very satisfied with the functioning of your life, you don't need to listen to what I just said that you turn the video off and and you must be doing something good. I'm turning to the ones who look at their life and saying I'm not 100% happy with my life. If you 80 to 100 happy, good move. Go. You don't we don't you don't need you don't need this class. But you're if you're anywhere from zero to 80, then listen now. A lot of people are totally not happy with their life and a lot of people are like I mean that's not the best of my uh liking but it's okay. You need to look at yourself and measure your your life if your life is smooth, if you're in a good mood, health is okay, challenges are not that big and to kind of realize where you're holding. But Hashem is going to put in all of our lives challenges cuz he wants you to rise above the challenge. And what you need to do is to make a quick calculation. If I need a miracle in this department, I need to get married. I need money. I need the success in this startup or whatever. I have a somebody's suing me. Somebody called me the other day. My neighbor is suing me. I don't know what to do. And people deal with drum rings all day long. The trick is of course like I told you before to completely move move away from the side. Let Hashem deal with it. But when you realize that you need some type of a miracle in your life. Now let me say one last thing before I conclude. If you don't think you need a miracle in your life, you still are should do. It's not about miracles. It's not about activating miracles. It's taking yourself to the next level because when you do something in that constellation of just that you know that you're jumping in your spiritual levels not one level after the other. You jumped every time 10 levels. When I went into the world of the Torah I was like if I'm going to go the regular path will take me 60 years. I got to jump. I got to do big jumps. And the big jumps can only be done when you do self-sacrifice. then you jump spiritually to higher levels. So what you need to do is figure out what you need in your life and then decide what am I going to do with the nephesh. And if you do something that you really self-sacrifice, choose something small. Don't choose something huge. Choose something small. And that's my trick. This you won't find in any book. That's my trick that I have in my mind that if I fail, story is over. All bets are off. That's how I handle it. Which means that if I fail, no turning back. Because when you don't give importance to something that you focus on to a level that the world will collapse if you fail, then you won't do it because there's no pressure. There's no pressure. There's no shalom the threat that you can lose everything. When you in a danger to lose something real big, you operate completely different. So you need to have that in mind. Okay. What am I choosing that is small that has to do with serving God that I'm going to do it that even if you wake me up at 3:00 in the morning or I'm the most tired of the world or I'm on the floor bleeding, I will get up and do it. Try that once in your life. Master it. Do it on something small. You'll see eventually you'll be able to do it on big things. And then that will make you walk on your path with huge steps on the path you need to walk on. You're going to walk on that. You can do that in a year or 10 years. You can make small steps like this or you can make huge steps. Do what I told you. You'll make huge steps in your spiritual growth on your path. So everything will come more stronger, intense, bigger. Hashem is just waiting for you. And my humble recommendation, start with something so small that you can handle cuz you don't want to fail right from the beginning. You fail right from the beginning, that will set the tone. You'll always fail. You need something small. And uh you know, I'll give you one example out of many. Ina when you are praying in a minan somebody says kadesh you have to listen to the kadesh and say amen right most of the people they don't listen to what is said they just say amen as the herd with everybody everybody says amen amen amen they don't hear the blessing they just scream amen this is called amen to an orphan amen you set an amen for a blessing you didn't hear you're not allowed to do that it's a sin it's against So what one needs to do is when they hear the kadesh is to stop what they're doing and listen to the kadesh to say amen. Now you're in the middle of praying. I pray very slow. So the minan always say kadesh before I'm done. Now you're also in a rush. So usually you don't stop for the kadesh and you continue praying and you say amen in half. Amen. Amen. That's not the right way. And it's this big to a certain extent. So in many examples, this is an example what I would do for myself that it's it's this minor. You're in a minan. I pray slow all the time. The minan always finishes before me. That's rarely I will find a minan that the I'm with them. So it for me was a huge sacrifice that when they start the kadesh stop where you are quietly listen to the kadesh say amen then continue that's something small right what's the big deal 18 seconds to that something small I would take it to if I fail here all bets are over because when you know how to focus on something small the big ones are easy. You go after the big ones, you'll fail. Go after the small ones, master it, get good at it. By default, the big ones will come by easy. And it works. And then what happens is that everything that you do, you do 10 times more because you take it to the next level. That's why I told you, you do huge steps in your spiritual growth. And by default, the miracle that I'm talking about, that's the light of Hashem invited into your world. And the light just shines the darkness. So by default, everything falls in place the right way. And when things don't fall how you wanted it to be, it's much better than what you thought because Hashem is smarter than you, better than you, more precise than you. So if Hashem wants to give me this, it means that's the best thing for me. Even though I wanted that, that's it. I don't have an opinion. I tell Hashem, you you give me what what is good for me. I will be happy with that. And you know what? When you let Hashem buy you the present, he hits the nail on the head. He gets you the best present. So I don't get excited when things don't work out how I want. Okay. Not every shoot you get very simple. So what I will recommend is to follow the classes that we're going to have in Kisv. Use the spicious days where the intensity of the light is bigger and the opportunity to come closer to the light of Hashem is greater like this coming Shabbat and many others. And just focus on what you need to do. Don't focus on complaining on how bad your life is or the negative things in your life. That's a very low level. Focus on the bad things in your life. How you changing it? When I have bad things in my life, I don't focus it and whine. I'm like, if this is bad in my life and I'm not happy about it and I recognize that it's something bad, what can I do so it won't be bad? Take initiative. And it's all about how much you give. That's it. Most people give this much and they're expecting from Hashem to flood them with blessings. It works the other way around. You flood Hashem with a lot of effort and a lot of trust and a lot of belief and you do that and if Hashem wants, if you're lucky, he should give you something. But the way it works is that when you do that, then Hashem floods you. You can't even imagine. >> It's okay. You you get the point. You can't ask. You can't demand. And you can't expect if you don't do nothing. And if you think that you're doing enough, I'm the one who will tell you you're not doing. Not only enough, you're not doing anything. You're not doing much. I know. I know you want me to tell you you're great. You're doing great. No, no, no, you don't. You can do 10 times more. And you should because that's how you're going to get what you want in the most natural way without begging and crying to Hashem all day long or being disappointed. Try it, apply it, give in, give up. You'll see the only winner here is you. You will never lose by giving in or giving up or making space for other or making space for Hashem. And just follow through and just put the right importance to it. Mark under it urgent. If you don't see that it's important, you'll never do it and it would not be a nephesh and you won't invite this godly light which I call a miracle into your life to change things for your best. So take advantage of the month of Kisv because it's full of these auspicious days where you don't need to do much and you're close to the light and with those days you're able to bring it close and closer. Go home, watch the video again, review your faults and your downfalls, and choose one thing that you know for a fact that you're failing. And choose one thing that not only that you're failing that up until now you don't give it too much of an importance and that's why you're failing. And that might be the secret of your success. And the reason why it will be the secret of your success not because of the action, because of the attitude. That's it. We tend to brush off the things that are not so important. Pay attention to the little details. Sacrifice on the little details. Everything will come to the right place. And when you're challenged with the big nephesh, you'll be able to do it. And by that you grow higher and higher closer to Hashem, greatness and closeness to Hashem. And that's how you really walk on your path of life successfully. you reach all your goals and you really leave this world with flying colors. That's what you want to do. That's what you you want to finish this everything that I told you. That's how you want to focus. And I know usually I say the opposite. Usually I say it sounds hard and it's very easy. Now I'm telling you it sounds easy, but it's very hard. So if you want the success, you're going to have to work hard. It's going to have to come with hard work, with effort. Because anything that you do in self- sacrifice, it's very hard work. It's equivalent that when you want to get in shape, you want to lose weight, whatever you want to do physically. If you want to get in shape and you and you have this drive, you have to have the same drive spiritually. And all is rest for me to wish you is great success in your path. And the success will be determined with your efforts. So I will bless you that you will be focused to be able to bring those efforts and have the beton that Hashem will come through. And I'm giving you my promise. You give it all you can and more. You have to give more. By the way, it's all you can and more. And not give up till you crack. Don't give up for after three days. It might take you a year. By the way, depends on the size of the miracle. If you're single for 20 years and you need to find your hand and have you need a serious miracle, my friend, you need to shake the world. Not to say amen. So, you need a big miracle. It's going to take time and it's going to require a lot of work. You need a small miracle, less time. I needed to get out of a 40-year jail indictment with 49 counts on a federal indictment. It took me three years to do it. Three years of official not sleeping at night. Three years. I'm not talking about, okay, let me do it for two weeks. Three years. Like a machine. Like a machine in the Torah. All the don'ts like like a sadic. Like a sadic looking at everything as if I fail, I die. So the mind the smallest thing I couldn't afford failing. That's how I was like this walking on a on a on a rope for three years till the trial and then Hashem kicked in and I saw that three years of and hard work, Hashem can move mountains in front of your eyes. So I'm a living proof that when you do it, it works. But don't think it's coming easy. It doesn't come easy. It's going to be months of efforts and the yet will try to break you. It's not working. It's not working. It's locked. In my mind, my was telling me it's not working. Hem is not coming to your rescue. My mind was like, I got to do it till the day I die. I'm never turning back. I turn back, deals off. Now, I know not everybody is strong so much in their mind to do such a thing, but you are. You could do it. If you want to, you do it. Depends how much you want it. If you want something real bad, you'll do it. You want to be close to Hashem because you don't have any other option. Wait till the world starts falling apart. Now, Hashem is being nice to you. Corona. That's nice. Give it a few more years. Hashem should send the redeemer faster. But wait till starts to crumble the world. Then something's going to hit the fan. And if you don't have the right khim, you're going to have a problem. You do it now because that's not going to be for the fainted heart. And the is going to be dancing. So my attitude is till the day I die. I can't fail. No place for failing. There's no place. And you can do it too. I don't think I'm different than anyone. Everybody can do it. If you really really want to put it your highest priority and then you then you will get it. Everything good in my life came with a very strong struggle and what made it work is the messes is the sacrifice that I did on one or two or five things but the result there came with the law whether it's finding my other half whether it's making money whether it's moving to Israel you know what it what it took for me to come to Israel what struggles and I'm Israeli and it took me struggles to come back here finan financial, emotional, everything. I didn't get up on a plane. I'm Israeli. I don't need to do aliyah. I could get up on a plane and land here. Three years of our life it took us to work hard to merit to step foot in this holy land. I don't take it for granted. And you see that it's divine because I'm Israeli. I can I can come here and do whatever I want. But I was still prevented by Hashem. Three years of hard work till I fetched it and was able to squeeze myself back into this place. So when things are bad in my life or hard, I'm very, very happy because I know it's the real thing. Things are easy, I brush it off. It's going to fail. And you need to do the exact same thing. And I guarantee to you, you'll be successful. Follow what I tell you. I'm not saying that to sell you anything. I'm telling you that because I did and I found success. I taught it. So people follow and found success. You should not be the ones who can do it. And you'll find success. And the success will be what's good for you, not money. Money is also success. Happiness is greater success. Strong health is better success. Peace of mind. Oh, peace of mind. Peace in my heart. That's what I wish for myself and everybody. Peace. Just some peace. Check it. Quiet. But it doesn't work like that. We just read now with Yakov, a great sadic. That that's the level of a sadic. All his life was a roller coaster. And finally when he wanted to retire, his son gets abducted. Sadi sadikim don't have rest in this world. You would think he would be now retiring in Dubai. No, he struggled all his life. Started with a sav, then lavan, then a million and one other things. His daughter gets raped, his son gets abducted. And that's a sadic. But does he? No. I have self-sacrifice. Nothing comes easy. Not easy to be on the top. It's not not easy to be on the top because you're on the top. It's not easy to get to the top. But when you're in the top, it's not easy. Why? Not because you're on the top. Because nothing is easy. Nothing productive, good, and positive in this world is easy. Anything that comes easy is fake. Hard equals real. You want real good results in your life. Good marriage, good parnasa, good kids. I look at happiness as one of the biggest. I want to be I want to be in a good mood. I I'm most of the time in a good mood. All of that. Nothing comes easy. Even if you want to be healthy in a good mood, it's going to come hard. But the good news are the good news is that when you do your hard work, you're going to get the exact same from Hashem. Not like this, like that. Take advantage of the month of Kisv. There's many apicious dates that you can tap in and this should run with you the entire year. Apply it. Don't be afraid of losing. Don't be afraid of of of failing. It's totally normal. That's why I told you start with something this big something that doesn't require a lot of your effort doesn't require a lot of money or at all any money doesn't require much that the you why am I saying that that should you should not have the excuse of saying it was too hard choose initially something that is easy that you can say come on if I can't do that I'm like the number one loser of the world put some challenges to yourself. You pass that, bumped it up. But you'll see when you are going to work the muscle and you know how to use it, you're going to be able to do it in ways that it's instant. A situation happens, you do something instant, the next day the solution is there because Hashem loves. Hashem gave everything he who had to the one who went the most with self-sacrifice. and I'll give you three seconds to guess and then we're going to finish the class. Who am I talking about? >> Bingo. Don't have to think too much. Abrau is the most individual in in living history that went that gave his sacrifice, life, everything. And Abrau, one can say, was the most successful. That's it. That's what the Torah says. You know what that means? that every day of his entire life was perfect full. No other man including Mosher Raenu can say that on himself every day of his life it means that every day from the full life was 100% not 99% full who can say something like that only Abraham know and why because his mess nephesh was not to say amen to to jump into the fire of Nimrod to stand in front of the entire world and say I'm a conspiracy theory. The earth is flat. One person in front of everybody. That's he didn't care. Corona what? And I and there's enough stories of the taking his son to sacrifice him after he waited for him 100 years. Circumcising yourself when you're 100. I mean the list just goes on. So that's the proof. You give you're going to get in such quantities you don't even know what to do with it. Ramavinu was a billionaire. He had everything. Kids, wine, everything. He had you read his story. You read a a hard life. Oh, you read Jacob's story. Poor poor man. Are you kidding me? Go in the time machine sit in Jakob Zenu's palace. You think he was poor? He didn't he didn't register the the background noise, the distractions. He was focused on Hashem. I don't focus on background noise. Background noise is uh it's just distractions. I shut everything out, focus on Hashem. My head is targeted to Hashem. My path is designed to go to Hashem. And that's where the success comes. And I now wish it for you and I bless you that you will find the courage and the power to fight and be successful in your nephesh and to reap the rewards and be blessed by Hashem with everything that you need in this life in order to serve Hashem in the best way possible.
