and you see a 10-year-old boy jumping up
and down the ladders and the slides,
nobody gets upset, nobody gets excited.
All 10 year olds do the same thing. But
if you see now a one-year-old baby
taking one step and foing who
thousands pictures are on Instagram a
minute later, everybody's like, "Wow,
look, he walked." So why you getting so
excited? It's the first time he walked.
He's doing a little step.
I told my friend that's that's me.
I can't observe Shabbat right now. It's
too much for me. In two years, in three
years, I'll be able to observe Shabbat.
Now I'm like this little baby. I make a
little step and I fall. But I told him
in the eyes of Hashem, I'm this little
baby. You know what happens when I go
and buy myself this kosher food? Hashem
calls all of his angels and tells them,
"Come, come, come, come. Look, look at
what look at what he did. He drove 60
miles to buy kha wine and look how he
set the table and look how he bought a
beautiful cup and a beautiful suit and
look how he stood all happy saying koo
and how he got excited.
I told him you think Hashem is now
focusing on me going to a club. He's
looking at the fact that I was focusing
on all my on this. I told my friend I'm
like a little baby. I can do
but if I do something then I do I do it
all the way cuz once I master this I'll
move to the next thing and master that
and then I'll move to the next thing and
master that. So it will take me two
three years maybe more and that's how I
lived my life for about a year later on
a few change of events happened. Come
tomorrow you'll hear what happened.
My wife always says you're saying the
wrong miracle. The miracle is not how
you came from the heavenly court to this
world. It's how you came from Chicago to
New York. That you'll hear tomorrow. A
little bit more action than tonight.
That's where you see the real miracle of
Hashem. But nevertheless, I did found
myself back in New York uh a few years
later where I started doing my cha
and at some point I mean I was going
through a very difficult situation and I
met my first rabbi
who already
sent me to yeshiva and from there I
started spiritually grown. But
after like a year of doing chuva and
yeshiva and all that then at some point
I was looking up to the heavens and
telling hashem
you know look you told me to behave like
a Jew. I am not the perfect one yet but
I'm at least on the right track. You can
say uh condition number one check
then can condition number two start
fixing all the path and also I went to a
big rabbi to consult what to do how to
do he told me he gave me all sorts of
instructions how to start fixing
everything
and badashem some time passed and then I
was able to start saying okay now I'm
checking number two now comes number
three start telling it to people so in
the beginning was very very difficult it
was embarrassing to come in stand of a
crowd out. I'm not a it's not my nature
to come and stand in front of a crow
crowd and talk.
So it was very hard for me but in the
beginning I spoke the yes is yeshiva and
I had very good feedback because I'm
coming to affirm everything that
everybody's learning
and then I got my first gig was some uh
shu in Brooklyn
full of bloodthirsty Israelis who
luckily they didn't give out tomatoes in
the entrance. If they had what to throw
at me, they would throw at me the whole
night. Shakuran, you liar. Who brought
this guy here? The whole night they were
bashing me to a point that I was like,
you know, should I continue? Should I
stop? Doesn't look like there's anybody
here listening. But I decided to go all
the way to the end. And at the end, I
got my confirmation. One guy came up to
me all sweating.
Was it wasn't Florida. It was January in
New York where there's ice and snow
outside. He was sweating,
shivering. And he told me, "I believe
every word that you say. What do I have
to do?" I was like, "Oh."
99 people from the crowd wanted to kill
me. One got it. That's it. That's
enough.
So for about a few years, I went and
from one place to another, one synagogue
to a school to Aiva and sharing my
story. But coming for like six, seven
hours telling every little detail of the
experience. And that's it and going. And
years later, one day out of the blue, I
get bad news. My brother-in-law, very
young man, goes out for a jog, gets a
heart attack, dies on the spot. I go to
Israel
and I from the plane to the cemetery and
I go into the room where they
prepare the body do the tah
and I'm see I see my brother on the
table my sister's there crying and I
pull a book of tim out of my pocket and
I start reading tim but out of curiosity
you know my eye is like on the body I'm
reading tim and my eyes looking at the
body
in my mind
I'm like, "Oh, you know, now he's like
here on the ceiling and he sees me and
he hears my taleim and he knows what I
had for breakfast and he knows
everything about me right now and he
sees his wife crying. He sees the whole
I remember how it looked and in my mind
I was like, "Okay, so now they're taking
him there and then they're taking him
there." Oo.
Now on the surface it didn't he wasn't
really an observant Jew. Although you
can't I don't judge a book by a cover. A
person can look on the outside very
unobservant and in the inside pure and
holy and giving and charitable and kind
and then you can see somebody on the
outside looks like a chief rabbi of the
world but inside.
And then when I looked at him like as if
it's like as if I understood
that was missing for many many years.
There's no point of me coming and giving
you a 5-hour lecture and giving you
every little detail of the experience.
And the reason is because most people
don't even remember the details. I've
been speaking for 22 years. I meet
people that they saw me 10 years ago, 5
years ago, 15 years ago. People remember
the title. They don't remember the
details. Nobody remember details.
Sometimes they even go in the street
people like hey I saw you somewhere. You
crazy right? No. No. Last time I
checked. No.
So I stopped telling all the details.
There's no point. The details came for
me for so I can become observant.
Really when I come to share this story
is for one purpose
is to explain to you something very very
simple that might some people take it in
a scary way. It's not scary at all. It
should be inspiring.
The fact is
that each and every one of us comes down
to this world and right over here you
have an expiration date.
Some people come for 20 years, some
people come for 60 years, some people
are lucky 80 years, but we all leave.
You are not going to be the one who's
going to live till 932.
We all leave at some point. Now, unless
Mashiah is going to come tonight,
tomorrow, in a week or two, that that's
it. No more death.
We're still living in this world, then
everybody has an expiration date.
The question right now is not if you
live in fear that one day the date will
come. The question is what are you doing
with your time while you're here? People
take this statement as oh no don't I
don't want to be bothered and scared and
you know there's a reactions to my
action and one want it's too much for me
to deal with okay well one day that day
will come and it might be around the
corner and how are you willing to go up
to the heavens
are you willing to go up like I I went
with empty-handed
what's your plan you know only people in
this world most people in this world
ensure everything that exists. I'm now
traveling for the last month and a half.
I fly. You want to insure your luggage?
You want to insure the flight? I rent a
car. Insure the car. Everything you
insure.
People insurers their phone, their
house, their car. Why are you insuring
your car? Why are you expecting to go
into a car accident?
Shalom. Why are you talking like that?
If I should fall into a car accident,
then I'm covered.
But why are you insuring your health?
What do you think you're going to be
sick? Instead of insuring your health,
pray to Hashem, eat healthy, and I'll
never be sick. Why waste this money?
If ah, so if it's a maybe, you can drive
40 years and pay for car insurance and
never use it and say, "Ah, I shouldn't
have paid that for the last 40 years."
Now if this is the the the attitude then
why wouldn't a normal individual want to
secure and ensure for themselves a good
place in the world to come. Now if you
come and say I don't believe in the
world to come but you also just told me
a second ago you're not going to believe
that you're going to have a car accident
and you still need insurance. Insurance
is when you don't think something is is
they might happen.
So assuming you're on that side of the
river, then wouldn't you want to prepare
some type of a investment savings
account and insurance that when you come
up to the heavens, if it's real, then at
least you have something.
But assuming you're on the other side of
the river where you're already
practicing and following and believing,
then then comes the big question is do
you really believe 100%? Because how I
see most people, how they conduct their
life.
One big concern that I can tell you that
if you need to take something out of
this door tonight,
especially now third, fourth day in the
month of ill, I can tell you the time
goes like this and I'm sure you all
experienced it yourself lately.
Something happened in the universe that
the week is very fast. Have you noticed
that? You dodah
before you even blink boom it's already
Thursday it's Thursday tomorrow
I still smell the ch the pot still how
you all smiling cuz you agree with me
you literally do have dala boom it's
already Friday
you all like oh my god I didn't think
about it it's tomorrow Friday
why
because if you imagine our a sand clock,
you know, imagine the sand clock and a
lot of sand and the sand is dropping
down. When it's full and you don't see
the sand going down because it's full
and it's wide, but when it comes to the
end, at the end, at the end, at the end,
how why do you see it going down fast?
Because there's very little left. That's
what's going on right now with time. for
thousands of years it was like that you
know okay this time now because we're
like moments before the end before the
the Msiah is coming then the time looks
like it's going real real fast but
that's the fact
Hashem put now you know where you can
relate with that you listen to now
videos some people listen to my video
they tell me I I I spoke with somebody
the other he told me uh we were talking
about that my lectures along He's like,
"Oh, I don't mind. I just put you on
double speed and then the lecture is not
that long." And I was like, "Yeah, but
then I sound like
I go, how can you understand what I'm
saying?" So today, you put double to and
the message goes fast sometimes. You
know, I hear people wish to listen on on
WhatsApp.
How do you understand what they're
saying? So, Hashem put the whole world
on double speed. Now everything is fast.
So if there's anything to take into
consideration that is valuable in your
life is how do you how much do you value
your time?
I can tell you already that most people
don't have value to their time. Most
people all day long are hugging their
companion
this little thing here and like this
hypnotized.
You find yourself like this more than 5
minutes a day you have a serious
problem.
No joking.
>> You learn.
>> If you learn Torah, listen. Go. No, no,
no, no. If you learn to That's why I'm
talking about sitting like this on Tik
Tok and Instagram and Facebook and all
the rest of the junk watching junk. If
you're getting educated, listen, I'm
also on all these platforms that
hopefully one of these I pop up. But the
reality that even even when you're
watching Torah on these platforms,
you'll go one class, another class, and
another class, and a cat is starting to
dance. So what's the cat doing there
now? I don't want to see a cat. What?
That's what they want to show you a cat
dancing or some guy falling on his
motorbike or all sorts of crashes and
you know, you're all smiling very small
kind like because you know what I'm
talking about. You're all guilty.
That's the biggest waste of time.
Maybe you all came here tonight to hear
that. I mean, I I believe very strongly
init I I I know that every detail in the
universe is stitched and organized by
Hashem. So when I'm looking at all of
you tonight and I can't look at the
people on the screen, but I see a lot of
people writing chunk there, all sorts of
nonsense and then some people are
normal. Hey, one thing one thing I
didn't understand, you come to watch a
lecture, people write comments there.
Listen to the lecture. Are you writing
all sorts of junk? See what I'm talking
about? You You're logged in. You're
listening to the lecture. Listen. People
are having conversations. Oh, yeah. How
do you I didn't know.
Waste of time.
Most people don't know how to value
their time.
So, going back to the nothing happens by
chance. If you think that all of you
came here by chance,
you didn't come here because you saw
some ad or a WhatsApp message or
whatever.
Each and every one of you in this room
and the people online right now came and
logged in because you were personally
invited by Hashem tonight.
You know, some people wanted to come,
couldn't make it, couldn't find a
babysitter, couldn't get off work, too
far.
Consider yourself extremely lucky
because you heard about this lecture two
days ago and somehow you had the free
time and look at Hashem decides who's
going to come, who is going to sit
where, who's going to come first, who's
going to live first, who's going to live
in the middle, who's going to listen
till the end, who's going to be busy,
who's going to fall asleep in the back,
who's going to come an hour later.
Everything is shim.
So you have to understand that you
should consider yourself extremely
lucky.
Shem invited you a month before rash sh
to tell you what what is your plans for
the next month. What are you planning on
doing on for you think on rash sh you
can do anything sh is when you finish
your repentance. You have to come to sh
clean. You have a whole month now to do
chuva. What are you planning on doing
with this? What are you going to do
after that?
The question is, what are you going to
do when you leave this door?
I'm going to leave the same way I walked
in.
I'm going to finish, go and pray, go
home, sleep tomorrow, starting the next
day. Question is, how are you leaving
this room tonight? You came here cuz God
wanted you to hear what I had to say.
And also the people online, Hashem
wanted them to hear live what I had to
say. And that's why you see all this
nonsense that people are writing on the
on the comments. That's the doesn't want
you to focus on.
So don't ask me the I'm going to ask you
the question. What are you doing when
you're going to leave this door tonight?
Are you going to leave this door tonight
the same way how you came in? Or are you
going to go out of this door tonight
with a little change in your mind?
Because a little change now makes a huge
change down the line.
If you take two railroads going like one
railroad but two uh pieces of the metal
from the railroad from Los Angeles to
New York 3,000 miles they're parallel
100%. If one of the the tracks go one
micro millimeter to the right you won't
notice that but 100 miles down the line
it will start splitting.
All it takes is one little switch and
one little thought in your mind and you
send yourself to a completely different
place.
So you were invited tonight by the
master of the universe. It's not a
coincidence that you were free tonight
and he wanted to relate to you this
information by saying to you what are
you doing with your time? When I share
my personal story, it's not about the
details. It's not about what happened to
me that happened to me that I should
become observant.
The message that I come and say is
listen, you live here for a very short
time and even if you're now 20, it's not
that it goes like that. Life goes like
this. Are you ready for that day that
everything will go real fast? Are you
ready to meet the master of the
universe? You feel that you fulfilled
all your purposes in this world. You did
your chuva. You learned enough Torah.
You did mitzvot.
This feeling of thirst and and desire to
come close to the Torah. You have to
inspire yourself on a daily basis. But
my the main message that I'm giving over
is is time. We don't value our time. The
life goes so fast.
Everything goes so fast in front of our
eyes.
Instead of complaining and whining and
and and
what I don't have, what I wish I would
have, you know, I walked into my
friend's house the other day where we're
staying and she had on the wall this
beautiful picture, not even a picture,
you know, somebody just wrote something
and they framed it and it says, "I still
remember the days for the things that I
prayed that I have now."
Think about it. How many times you pray
for things and then you get it and now
you live the what you prayed for.
But most people don't remember that oh
20 years ago I prayed for this woman to
be my wife. I prayed oh how much I
looked for a wife and now all day along
you're complaining that she's giving you
a headache.
Where were you 20 years ago praying
reading tale from morning to night.
Where's my other Where's my basher?
Where's my other half? Finally you got
it.
[Music]
I hope that tonight you'll able to go
out of this door tonight not thinking oh
wow story is nice inspiring is what do I
do because our sages say the action is
what counts talk is very cheap what do
you do what is the action that you do
so now it's up to you how you leaving
this door tonight you can leave you can
leave the same way you walked In you
wake up in the morning tomorrow nothing
change. You go back to your same life
routine with the same goals that you are
not able to fulfill with the same
achievements you want to do and you
somehow can with all the struggles and
going back to square one or you go out
of this door tonight and you're saying
okay I understand
there's a lot more what to do and
there's no time there's much more things
to do and very little time to do it.
Don't wait for that day that you'll be
standing in front of Hashem. It doesn't
matter now how it come good or bad.
There will be a day you're going to be
standing in front of Hashem. That day
has to echo in the back of your mind. Am
I ready for this day? You don't have to
come with results. You have to come and
show efforts. That's really what you
have to do. I explained yesterday in
yesterday's class two days ago in
Roshesh
the concept that we learned for so many
years that in the month of the king is
in the field and I explained the whole
concept briefly two days ago that what
it means when the king is in the field
is not that you go there and you see the
king and you can slip in some note
the king is in the field means a place
of work where you work hard
the month of is where you work hard.
Why? Cuz the king is in the field. He
can see what you're doing.
He sees your hard work. Even if you
don't come with results, but he sees
that you came and you showed up every
day and you did effort and you at least
you cared. You showed up. So when the
king is in the field, you want to go and
work. This is a month of work. Month of
alul is not to sit like this. You had
that now July, August in vacations.
That's it. Alo is a month of work. hard
work and that's why he's called Basad in
the field and not in the Hilton. It
couldn't be like in the Hilton. Go visit
him. It's not appropriate for the king
to be in a dirty place in the in the in
the field. Put him in a hotel.
The bas the field comes to tell you,
"Yeah, yeah, you have to work hard now
for 30 days." And why? Because Hashem is
in the field and he'll see your effort.
That's it. Hashem wants effort. He's not
looking for results. You have don't
don't have control of results. You have
control over the effort.
So my recommendation is don't leave this
door tonight and say very good lecture
inspiring
and and and slide it. Stop for a second
and say Hashem brought me here. Hashem
brought me to this lecture whether live
physically or live on the phone.
And your question is, what am I going to
do with that? Are you going to miss the
opportunity? How many opportunities does
Hashem give you? And you don't even
notice that it's an opportunity.
So my blessing and my wish for you
tonight is when you leave this door
tonight, you take my story that caused
me to change and internalize it by
saying, "Everything else that I knew
before is all great. Everything that I'm
doing good. You always need to climb
higher. Get closer to Hashem. Find more
closeness and a place a a better place
for you. But
don't think that it's you have all you
have to the next 20 years to do it. And
why is that so perfect now? Because most
people they wake up on Roshul
and they get all excited for two days
and because they went to a lecturer
party and then a week later they go back
to their busy life and then they don't
do nothing and they wake up three days
before oh I didn't do I didn't read I
didn't learn I didn't do this I didn't
do that.
Most people I know that they wake up a
minute too late. So I'm here to tell you
don't wake up a minute too late. Wake up
now and not only for any situation in
your life. The Mishna says don't push
for tomorrow which you can do today.
It sounds like a very good common sense
but the practical part is because who
says that you're going to get the
opportunity to do tomorrow what you're
supposed to do today? You might lose the
opportunity. You might not have that
opportunity.
So the message I I would like you to
leave out of this door is to start
valuing your time, the time that God
gave you. When every time you do
something that you're wasting your time,
you are you basically betraying your
your your employer. Shem says they give
you time. What are you doing with it?
Are you busy to learn Torah? Are you
busy to refine yourself? Are you working
on yourself? Are you doing good deeds?
Or what else? you are you're on the
phone all day long. What are you doing
with your time every moment that you're
not doing something for Hashem which you
are obligated then you're you're wasting
this time
even though you know the the terminology
to that is Torah but that goes when
somebody can learn Torah and doesn't
learn Torah but I call everything you
sit on Instagram for five minutes that's
that's the same idea because Hashem
tells you I gave you valuable time and
what are you doing with it and you have
to be true to yourself like you said I
see shim you maybe a lot of people they
see three four five classes and then
whoop they start seeing all the junk my
recommendation don't use this these
devices to learn Torah tora you learn in
yeshiva if there's no other option fine
but standing in such a apicious time a
month before sh and really sh is where
judges the entire world all the books
are open all your deeds your good deeds,
your bad deeds. We're standing in front
of Hashem in three weeks, three and a
half weeks and our fate for the next
year will be decided on that day. And
everybody does so much work before
Shana. But the reality is that if you
have this thought every day of the year,
then you don't need to do much
preparations for
because you do it every day.
So I again hope that when you leave this
door tonight then the message that you
take with you is that every action that
you do has a big and strong meaning
behind it. I go hold strong by the by
the teachings of think before you do
something. It might take you a second or
two to think about what you're about to
do but you'll save yourself a lot of
headache down the line. I can tell you
that every action that you do, every
thought that you do, every word that
comes out of your mouth has a lot of
value to you. It might not make much
sense, but sometimes for you not to say
a certain word and you're not hurting
another person's feeling, it's a huge
thing. Sometimes just not to say a
certain word. I was very judgmental and
very very vulgar how I used to speak a
long time ago before I became observant.
And I would insult people as I speak.
That's how I spoke. And it took me a
long time to recognize that and to
understand why should somebody be
uncomfortable because of me.
So you have to understand that every
action that you do, every little act
that you do affects everybody around
you. You want to strive to become a
better husband, a better wife, better
employer, a better employee, a better
Jew, a better human being.
So to summarize tonight, there's so much
else what to say.
But the point that I want you to leave
this door tonight is to value every
little moment that Hashem gives you.
Some people don't have time. Some people
don't have what you have. Be thankful
for everything that Hashem gives you.
Don't complain for what you don't have.
Thank Hashem for what you do have.
You'll see he'll give you much more.
Most people just complain, "Ah, I wish I
had more money. Ah, I wish I had more
more this or more that. I wish my wife
was like this. I wish my stop wishing.
It's a little bit mele. If you are like
the straight a Jew, I will say okay,
wish for a few things. But so far,
you're not delivering nothing. Why are
you wishing for something?
So you I hope I'm helping you see that
the eyes looking at the world needs to
look in a completely different angle is
to pursue good to look for how how can I
do good things how can I help other
people how can I put myself second in
line and put the the feelings of another
person first in line then looking at
other situations and judging them
completely different
when you're doing all this you know to
perform all the mitzvot is amazing I'm
all for it there's No other option. You
can't do half. You can't do whatever is
good for you. You have to do everything
that it says in the Torah. No
exceptions. If I have to observe
Shabbat, you have to observe Shabbat.
There's no difference between me and
you. If I have to eat kosher, you have
to eat kosher. Doesn't matter how you
hold yourself. Orthodox, nonorthodox,
halfobservant, modern, non
nonsense. When they told me Jew, they
didn't tell me orthodox, conservative,
reform Jew. Just call it observant or
not. That's it. You want to grade your
level of observance. So you call
yourself a reform or or don say I'm
observant or I'm not observant. There's
no difference between doesn't say in the
dua. By the way, if you live in Tampa
and you between the age of 35 to 45, you
are exempt from eating kosher.
It doesn't say that. See, meaning that
every doesn't matter where you live, how
old you are, who you are, you have to
observe the same like how I do. No
difference.
That's one department. But even between
me and another individual, you know, the
entire
is based on between me and another
person.
Shem says if if if
somebody's out there angry at you, upset
at you, then don't come on to pray.
First fix between you and another
person.
So there's a lot more what to do. Each
and every one of us has a handful of
of things to do not only this month
throughout your entire life.
Therefore, I hope that the message from
Hashem that you hear tonight is going to
help you understand that there's no
time. Your time is the most valuable
thing that you have. Whether it's now 28
days inul going to go like that like
that. Before you know, you're going to
blink your eye. Boom. You're standing
here Roshashana
and you want to come to Roshash or clean
after you did chuva after you prepared
everything you want to be blessed with a
good year the blessing on for the Shana
doesn't come on Roshana is what you do
inul what you do this month is how you
pave the the way so to say and based on
what you do this month is what how you
get the blessing on Rosh
but the point is not to work now on and
say ah I'm going to
get my act together because I need to be
blessed with A, B, and C and I'm trying
to get some credit points. That's not
going to work. Hashem knows your
intentions. Your intentions has to be
no, no, I want to do it because it's the
right thing to do. And that's the
attitude to do everything. But when you
understand that Hashem gave you very
little time to do a lot of things and
you are
not even close to your daily quotota,
then that's when the most important
thing in your life which is your time
has to come into more value. And not
only to waste your time on nonsense when
you're already doing everything is
what's the time for what? There's time
to pray and there's time to work.
There's time to learn. There's time to
be with the kids. There's time for
everything.
You have to learn how to manage your
time the right way. Then comes the end
of the day and you read the bedtime and
you do a little bit of your
introspection and looking up to Hashem.
Then you at least can come and say I
listen I did my best the day didn't go
to waste on nonsense.
The is always going to find how to get
you completely distracted.
That's why I told you in the beginning
this whole event happened on a very
special time when the nation of Israel
went out of mit and mit is not only a
country in the south of Israel. Mitim is
a state of consciousness and mit means
mit a state of limitation. When
something limits me can be an addiction
and it can be many other things. Today
they call it addictions. It's called a
state of limitation. Something that
stops me from growing to the next level.
something that limits me. So that's my
it can be something as small as being
addicted to cigarettes or today
everybody's addicted to phones
there is that mit is called is coming
from the world m state of limitation
who's the king of mit
is the king of mit he's controlling this
state of consciousness and if you switch
the letters of his name it you get a
different word
means is a distraction. Po comes to you
all day long and he distracts. You come
to do a he pulls you to here with
something and all day long you get
distracted from what you need to do. You
get distracted from your phone that
rings in different variations. The
WhatsApp goes ding ding and this goes
dang dang and this goes and also all day
long you're looking at your phone. I
also have phones. I don't check my
messages every second. I check my
messages twice a day. That's it. That's
how I check messages
because I don't like the I don't like
disturb me because every time if I go
like this when I hear ding ding then
that's a h it takes me away from my
focus. Most people are not productive
because all day long they're constantly
dealing with distractions. This is par
in your life. And when you understand
that you realize that you're wasting
half your day on nothing. Look at your
day once and you'll see how much time
you're wasting then really that's
valuable time that will never come back
and Hashem tells you and he will hold
you responsible tells you I give you
time what are you doing with this time
now if you superju then fine go and sit
and do other nonsense after your work of
hours but most people they do two hours
of productive work and then
16 hours of nonsense waste of time.
So my strong message for you tonight is
value your time. Don't waste your time.
Value every moment of your time. Do good
in this time. Work on yourself. Refine
yourself. Elevate yourself. Do good.
Help other people. Do good in the eyes
of Hashem. Don't worry what you had,
what you don't have. That's that that I
see is what I've been trying to tell
people for years. People are focused on
what they don't have and what pray they
need to say and what remedy they need to
do.
Stop wasting the time on that. Do what
you're supposed to do. Hashem will give
you what you need.
That's it. So, I hope you leave this
door tonight with enough inspiration to
just do not to think too much, not to
talk too much and to value your time
that you walk out of this door saying
every moment in my value. I'm not going
to give it for nonsense when it's time
to it's time to pray. Hashem comes
first.
I can tell you a million things to take
out of this door tonight, but came out
of my mouth. That's what Hashem wants me
to say. Hashem comes first. You want to
be successful in your life, you have to
put Hashem number one. If Hashem is
number two, you won't find success in
your life. Not in finance, not in
relations, not in your your task and
goals. Hashem has to be number one. You
wake up in the morning, first Hashem.
My rule, one hour, first hour of the
day, no phone. Last hour of the day, no
phone. You wake up with Hashem, you go
to sleep with Hashem.
If you go to sleep with the phone,
you're not going to say good night to
Hashem. If you go to sleep without the
phone, you say, you'll say you'll say
good night to Hashem. And same thing in
the morning, you wake up with the phone,
you check your WhatsApp, your Gmail,
your Instagram. You don't say Manny in
morning prayers. Be honest with
yourself.
Bring Hashem number one. Make Hashem
number one. everything in in your life,
you'll see your whole life changes
completely different. Hashem will also
allow you to grow. So I hope when you
leave this door tonight that you value
your time, that you time that you fill
in your the the free empty time in your
day with only positive things and
refining yourself, helping other people.
It's that's all it's all about. and
preparing for that day that you stand in
front of Hashem and say maybe I didn't
come so successful but I showed up I I
tried I did my best I had the right
intention that's what Hashem just wants
to see effort he's not looking for
straight A's he wants to see you showing
up on time and doing much more than the
minimum doing something
I'm going to wish you uh
and I'm going to take also the time to
wish
May Hashem bless you this next coming
year with true health and true happiness
and true peace in your heart and that
all your desires and your prayers and
your goals should be fulfilled in the
best way possible. And my pray and hope
that when you leave this door tonight is
that you leave not like a revolving door
the same way you walked in that you
leave this door tonight understanding
how important your time is how important
every moment that Hashem gave you that
you use this time the right way for
Hashem for the sake of Hashem and
remember something very very simple that
everything that you do in this world it
echoes in eternity.
If you do bad in this world, that's what
it echoes. But if you do good in this
world, then that's what's going to echo
in eternity.
Thank you, Rabbi, for opening your sh

thank you for coming. I don't take
everything for granted. People stay home
and watch everything on the video today.
So consider yourself the lucky ones that
came here. And I bless you for that.
That Hashem should bless you with
everything that you need should be in an
abundance. And again, thank you very
