We're inesh
right now.
Uh I would say one of the most powerful
days, not only one of the most powerful,
one of the most powerful days of the
year. And I'll explain at the end many
important points, but just to emphasize
what I'm about to say.
Theam explains that he says that
is is like Yomipur.
And the same way that we have 40 days
from
to Yamipur, he says that we have 40 days
from
and is like Yonipur
on Roshana and during Alul of course and
and
for sure during Yonipur we take on
ourselves. Okay, I'm going to stop doing
this. I'm going to stop doing that. I'm
going to start doing A, B, and C. We
take what is called resolutions. A lot
of good good decisions. But how many of
them you actually do? 2%.
So onesh
it's
like a new beginning. You start a new
beginning. That's the power of today and
needless to say the energy that it takes
with it for the entire month. So first
of all we're in an amazing time to start
with then kesh kislv and then the entire
month of kislv I think it's the only
month that
may maybe nissan do that caters the
entire month something that you can grab
on and of course has any month that has
a holiday especially like kanuka full of
miracles nissan pes is full of miracles
so we know we know where we're going
into
And uh
when you know good information right
from the beginning, then that's really
the value of the information. And I'll
tell you what I mean cuz now I'm getting
a lot of phone calls and a lot of
WhatsApps. What should I do with my
Bitcoin? It's going down and everybody's
very unhappy with the situation of the
Bitcoin. So,
you know, like anything in the trade
market, in stocks, crypto, it doesn't
matter. If you come in at the end, then
of course you're going to go with the
dip. You need to come at the bottom, not
at the top.
And how am I why am I saying that?
Because I have a friend who obviously
bought some crypto when the Bitcoin was
pretty high in August. I think it was
like 114,000 and now it's like whatever
80,000 85 I don't know I don't know how
down it went it went down a lot so it
happened to be that he came at the top
and now can you predict no yeah you can
actually see but it doesn't matter the
the analogy here is that you want to get
into the stock at the bottom not at the
top so same thing with the spirituality
now you're at the at the bottom it's now
you want to hear the information so you
can apply it tonight and the rest of the
month.
And I would say that the bottom line is
that the month of Kisv is a month of
miracles. We have the miracle of Kanuka
and from the little people that are the
few people that I speak to
everybody can use a little miracle in
their life
in any aspect of their life. Like I said
many times, I fail to to see people that
their life is all good. Now I'm not
talking about about now about the
complaining or not. I'm talking about
the actual facts. Every person that you
look into their life, something has to
be wrong there. Either it's a health
situation,
no money. Have you ever seen somebody
that everything is good? Maybe the
hashem, the real wicked, wicked ones,
everything is good. But even the wicked
ones, I never saw anyone that everything
is good. So some people have the they
have money, so they have health issues.
They they have good health, no money.
Everybody, you know, the green the grass
by the neighbor is always greener. You
always look somebody else has what you
don't have. Noah who created that we all
have lacks.
But in in a situation like now there
were moments before the redemption. We
all notice that each and every one of us
in our own struggle can definitely use a
few good miracles. Everybody is now
dealing with some type of situation.
It's nobody's business. Not something
that necessarily you need to run in the
streets and declare. But the fact is,
and I said it many many times, I get the
thousands of emails and calls every day
with all the problems. So I I I can make
a very easy calculation that most people
are dealing with something
So now is a good opportunity. It's a
good opportunity to grab a miracle. So
inesh
it's the beginning of the beginning of
the beginning of the month. So you're
really getting in at the bottom of the
stock. You're now getting in at Bitcoin
when it was 4 cents. Okay? Cuz some
people are smart. They logged in. I mean
I'm sure any a lot of people are working
as and they can't necessarily go on the
live but look many many people. I see
hundreds of people logged in to get the
information
at the bottom at the at the beginning.
So are you. And then some people are
going to see the lecture on YouTube in 3
days. So they already missed three days.
So I can congratulate you that you came
right from the beginning. So now pay
attention.
the month of Kisv based on the book of
the book of formation
explains that and I'm not going to get
into it that I explained it in many
other classes that every month has a
letter that signifies the month a sign
what is known as the the horoscope and
an attribute and a limb in the body.
So the seph explains that the letter
that is connected to the month of is the
letter.
The the attribute is sha sleeping and
the sign is u how do you say kashadag
>> sagittarius.
Okay.
Why
not giml and why sleeping and not
something else? Why? Okay. So, first
question is why? And the second question
is what is the connection between the
three?
And there is a book it's called priadik.
It's written by the great sadikublin.
The book is called sadik. And he says
there about the month of
that the month itself serves you as o
it's like a cover like a security and o
is power. So the month gives you
security power and mainly protection.
That's what says in his book and I'll
explain to you later why it's so
important.
Now he calls it and in many other holy
books it's calls the month of a mishet
and it's very very interesting because
I've tried to find in many different
places the translation in English for
mishet and it all says the same thing
support and mishet is not support the
act that the mishit does is support but
it doesn't mean necessarily support
So mishit can come in many different
forms. Like I'll give you one example.
The back of the chair is called the
mishit. How's it called in English? The
back of the chair. Okay. So how is the
bottom called? The bottom of the chair.
Very very precise here. But in Hebrew
this is called mishit. Why?
Because I lean on it.
So the gives me support obviously. But
you know how many times you lean on
something that you think will give you
support and it collapses.
So mishet is not necessarily support.
Mishet by the way can be on the side not
necessarily on the back. You can have on
the side like an armchair. So the arm is
called a mish really mean it comes from
the word and means that I'm leaning on
something that's
so the great sages called the month of
mish
now it's very important to understand
that
I'm sure you heard the term not once and
not twice
we read many many times the
it's explaining and describing ing the
disasters that we're going to encounter
before the coming of Mashiach and how
the world is going to look like and all
these mam prophecies explaining it. You
read it text that was written 2500 years
ago and it's like you're reading the
newspaper. Everything is exactly one
equal.
And at the end at the end at the end at
the end of this it says
and we have nobody to lean on but our
father in heaven.
And that's really the reality. The
reality is that I can't lean on
anything.
Whatever I lean on that is not Hashem is
a lie.
And that's the base of what I need to
you to understand tonight is the fact
that what are you leaning on? Now we saw
that at the time of the corona a few
years ago. We saw very clearly who's
leaning on what? Some people were
leaning on the government. Other people
were le leaning on the science. Other
people were leaning on Hashem
and many other there were many different
groups. But we saw very clearly who you
leaning on. Are you leaning on the
creator of the world or are you leaning
on basam on a human and flesh? And it's
not only in the corona. First of all, we
see it in everyday life. Every day you
have a struggle. Every day you have a
test. Every day you have some type of a
challenge. Now let's see who you leaning
on.
So in this world you can't lean on
anything. Nothing.
Now this I'm not going to go dive into
this statement. I'm actually going to
explain the aspect of it that you
understand more the next step. When you
pray
the prayer of amida your legs have to be
together like an angel. Uh you have to
whisper in the volume that you can hear
yourself but that nobody around you
should hear. And there are many many
laws, rules how you pray that prayer.
Can't look to the sides, can't get
distracted even to a point that it says
that if you get a scratch or it don't no
you know you know focus on the prayer
and of course I'm sure you felt it and
experienced it that when you praying
you're focusing on anything but the
prayer. You're thinking of everything
but what you need to actually pray
about. Why? Because now the is coming to
get you off your focus.
One of the restrictions in filach is
that I can't lean on anything.
If you are extremely extremely sick,
there are some exceptions in not
everybody agrees with it that you can
maybe pray lying down but not everybody
agree with it. The only place the halak
agrees that you can pray not standing is
if you are traveling and there's danger
to your life and you can pray on the
horse or the donkey
for the sake of saving your life. But
other than that, you have to be standing
still.
The permits you to move when there's a
danger to your life. He actually says
that and again there's an argument to
that. If you see a scorpio or a snake,
what do you do? Nevertheless, it's not
the ina right now. What do I want you to
understand is that the one of the
restrictions in is that you're not
allowed to lean on anything. So, I can
have like a a podium in front of me.
What they call in the world of the Torah
or Stender or they say it in whatever
accent. I can have one in front of me,
but I can't lean on anything.
That's it. Why?
Because if you lean on something, if
they move what you lean on,
you don't you're not worth anything. You
fall, whatever you lean on,
right? Anything you're going to lean on,
you're leaning on a cane, you're leaning
on a person emotionally, that whatever
you're leaning on moves, you fall. So,
you're not worth anything. The doesn't
permit you to lean on anything during
your prayer to make you understand that
you can only lean on Hashem. There's
nothing else in the world you can lean
on. Now, you need to go to a doctor if
you're sick and you need to use uh the
world rules, so to say, for certain
things, but you don't rule, you don't
lean
on the doctor or wherever you're going
to. You lean on Hashem
and you give all the cav and all the
everything to Hashem. And the same thing
with your partner. You have to go to
work. You have to create yourself a
livelihood. That means if it's a
business, you need to invest or if
you're going to work, traveling, etc.
But you have to rely on Hashem for the
pan. You know, relying on the weather or
if Trump is going to raise or remove the
tariff, that's what I'm relying on. I
need to rely on Hashem.
When I rely on things in this world, it
means that I'm leaning on them because
that's my savior. And once that thing
that I'm relying on moves, then my fall.
End the story. So what do you take from
that?
We cannot rely or lean on anyone but our
father in heaven.
And
the sad reality is that whatever you
lean on and most people lean on things.
They rely on things. Don't rely a lot of
people rely on me for many different
things. And my first thing is don't rely
on me. Whatever I can do, I'll do. But
don't don't I'm not your savior. No. And
and many people they rely on other
people to be that thing that that's my
savior. I'm not your savior. Save
yourself.
Of course, you can go to people to
advice. You can go to people to to cry
your heart out. But to to bank on
something, that's leaning on something.
Anyways, let's move on. You got the
point. And we're going to go back to
that.
Why do we want to rely only on Hashem? I
know it's a rhetorical question. I'm I'm
sure some people will have an
interesting answer to that, but why do
we we want to rely only on Hashem?
Because Hashem is the only thing that is
stable. Nothing else is stable.
And you know what? Now before Mashiah is
coming, Hashem is showing us how not
stable everything is. And even now, take
it with a bitcoin. You know how many
emails, WhatsApps, and messages I got in
the last two weeks about Bitcoin,
which makes perfect sense. Take a
million followers, make a ratio that at
least 1% of them are holding Bitcoin. So
I I'm going to get a thousand calls.
What should I do? Tell me. I You think I
work in the committee up there who
decides what's going to happen with
Bitcoin?
But nevertheless, that's Hashem showing
you even Bitcoin that jumped up to
115,000 can drop. I don't know. Most
people didn't even feel it. You didn't
feel two days ago the blackout from
Cloudflare. I don't know how most people
didn't feel it.
Banks were down, credit cards were down,
no international transactions. I don't
know. I told people, "Nope, I didn't
notice anything."
Well, just that you know that Cloudflare
I mean they say some configuration in a
file but the fact is that everything was
shut down for about 2 three hours. I
tried to uh log into my bank account
nothing no access.
So that's Hashem showing you in so many
different ways don't rely on anything.
With that said let's continue.
Ah, and let me also emphasize that the
reason why I rely on Hashem besides
everything that is known, Hashem is the
only thing that is stable. And I'll tell
you what's another thing. Hashem is the
only thing that is eternal. If you lean
on something that is temporary,
then eventually that whatever you lean
on will break, right? Unless it's
eternal. Do you know anything in this
universe that is eternal but Hashem? No.
That's it.
Hashem showed us that he can move
mountains. Hashem can do whatever he
wants. So nothing is eternal.
Saying in other words, what is very very
important
is that most what you see in this world
is like uh how do you call it? They had
it in the old movies. the ta, how do you
say tifa?
The backdrops, the backgrounds. In the
olden movies now, what they do, they
have a green screen and everything is
digital. But 60, 70 years ago, they did
they did like photo montages and they
built the set. Oh, the the movie set.
The world here is a movie set. It's all
a lie.
You look at it from the front, it looks
beautiful. Go from the side. There's
nothing there. That's it. Everything
here is a sheer. Everything is a movie
set. Only Hashem is real.
And that's how the sadikim, the great
Sadikim, the great
righteous and and not only that the
prophets, they only saw Hashem. When you
see only Hashem, then you see what's
truth and what's not truth. And that's
it. And up until now, anyone who ever
leaned on a lie fell. You lean on
something that is a lie, not stable,
eventually it will fall.
And the second that I understand that
there's nothing else but the
then I am leaning on the most stable
mishet this support
that that's it. No more pressure no more
anything because I lean now on Hashem. I
I roll over everything to Hashem.
Imagine how all your problems in your
life just disappear. People have
problems with their parasa. Suddenly
they get some inheritance. That's it.
They're all set to go. You were
husbanded.
I mean, listen, I don't have to list the
problems that people are going through.
Everybody was going through problems.
Imagine you would just be able to do
something and just everything would just
disappear. And so tonight I'm giving you
the option how to do that because all
you need to do is lean on Hashem because
once you lean on Hashem you roll over
responsibility to the Ganesh.
It's big to me. I can't do this. It's
too much. You take care of it.
Sov
is the concept of it that I can lean on
something and the explained that is
that it's covering you and protecting
you. So what I take from that that I'm
seeking for this protection because when
I'm out there in the world in front of
the kipot I have no chance. I have no
chance. And I'm not talking about the
the kipota making me sin bothering me in
my just my daytoday just being happy.
Ask yourself
in the last month how many days of the
30 days last 30 days you were happy
during the day good mood very motivated
very excited and how many days not
listen if you if you're 50/50 that's not
too bad but I know a lot of people say
mood what do you mean good mood who has
time to be in in a good mood most people
are not in a good mood every day most
people are very uptight business
children whatever it
Not a lot of people are very very
relaxed, focused, centered.
You know, when people ask me for a
blessing, they think I'm going to tell
them, I wish you to be rich. I wish you
to find your beautiful gorgeous other
half. I wish people I wish you to have
real true happiness
that doesn't matter what wave comes to
you.
Okay?
sit always with a smile.
That's when you really lean on Hashem. I
have problems. The good is from Hashem.
The not good is from Hashem. The success
is from Hashem. The disasters, the
everything is from Hashem. I'm just I
just need to go down the stream with a
smile on my face and serve Hashem.
That's it. Nobody's asking you to to
conquer wars right now.
So the month of Kisv is already telling
us we're getting uh some support a cover
and and and a protection and the essence
of the month is to give us this support
and the protection and this and the and
and the how do you say the in Hebrew you
say optimo the optimistic to be how
would you say
optimism
>> the optimism yeah
that's the month
man of is able to give you all that. And
I don't believe that there are many
people that can tell me, "I don't know
what you're talking about. My life is
and if you are, I I wish for you that."
But let's cut to the chase. And I'm not
saying it in a negative way. I'm saying
it practically. Everybody has some part
in their life that they would want to
get rid of, want to solve. Most people
have three, four, five things, seven,
eight things at the same time.
Sov
provides you this protection. That's why
the letter of is because Sam is a circle
surrounding you, protecting you,
cocooning you, giving, putting
protection under you. That's the the
significance of the letter.
And more than that, we have to
understand that the the peak of is
Kanuka. Of course, we are now going to
work towards Kanuka. We have 25 days to
work towards Kanuka because Kanuka is
the end of the journey where you light
the candles. Now, we're going through
the darkness.
The fact is that we are all going
through the darkness. If you're looking
at collectively the entire world,
the darkness of the exile has never been
to that extent.
Believe it, see it, ignore it. It
doesn't matter. The fact is that the
spiritual darkness right now in the
world has never reached to that to
levels like this. If you're looking at
it only in your life,
there's a constant fight between
darkness and light.
Whether it's in the entire world or
whether it's inside of you, there's a
constant fight between the darkness and
light in you
in many different ways, many different
forms, and many different aspects. But
there's always constantly these
struggles in you and what is fighting
you the darkness.
So we have to understand
that the
state of the entire world is darkness.
Anywhere however you're looking in it
it's darkness. And of course I'm talking
about spiritually not now because it's
dark.
How do you win darkness? Not with words.
Definitely not with guns. You can only
win darkness with light. That's it. So
now we're in a state of darkness. 2500
years ago, give or take. Don't take me
on the here.
There was great darkness and a little
bit of light diminished all the
darkness. I mean the story what happened
in Kanuka. You're talking here about
five.
It's almost like you'll go now to Arafki
Steinman. You're talking here about
these old kohanim
that serve in the beta mikdash
the the the
and they go out to the fight in an army.
It's kind of like if now there's going
to be some type of coalition Russia,
China, North Korea and add a few more
coming as an army. That was the size of
the Greek army. And here you have five
kanim
going out to the war. They understood
that now it's time to for the war. Got
to got going got to go to the war.
Now the the essence of the war, the
purpose of the war, the the Greeks, they
didn't want to kill the Jews. It wasn't
like Haman who wanted to kill them. It
wasn't like Pero that wanted to kill the
Jews. The Greek says, "We're not looking
to kill you. We just want you to not
believe in the Torah. We don't like your
Torah. We just don't like it. We go by
common sense. We go by what we see. We
can't have you believing in things that
are not tangible and things that we
don't see. So the war was not to kill
us, rather to what's called
to
>> to how
>> helanize. I was about to say to convert
us to move us away from Hashem. That's
And by the way, this war is still on.
And I'm not talking about the little
country Greece. I'm talking about the
kingdom of Yavan. Is there a kingdom of
Yavan?
One of the exiles is called the exile of
Yavan. And I have a long lecture online
explaining everything about why it's
called Yavan. Don't say Greece because
Yavan you write with a little yud and
then a bigger vav and then a huge noon.
Like a small line, middle line, big
line. I have a whole class online. Go
and watch it where I explain everything
why you have to watch it. It's very very
powerful. But the fact is that the yean
wanted to kill us. Sorry to kill our our
spirituality
and they just didn't like what we we
what we believe. They didn't like the
fact that we observe Shabbat. They
didn't like that we do circumcision and
celebrate.
All the three of these don't make sense.
Go explain now to any normal person.
Okay? Even if you explain to the person
why the circumcision might be healthy or
good, but why dava the e day, why not
the seventh day? Do it on the 18th day
or do it when the child is three. Davka
on the eighth day that it's Shabbat
is higher than Shabbat.
Davka. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ninth day. Lot
of us.
They didn't like it that we believe in
something that is that they can't see.
So the war was against our connection to
God. And up until now we have this war
physically. There are physical people in
this world that are fighting to get the
Jews away from Hashem. They didn't end
this war. There are Jews that are doing
that and there are non-Jews that are
doing that that are trying to this and
by the way don't be shocked thousands
thousands it's actually tens of
thousands every year convert like you
can't leave your Jewish roots but they
leave their Jew Jewish connection and
become Muslim Christian Hindu whatever
it is so we didn't the war is not over
maybe it was one but it's not over not
to talk about the secular governments,
what they're trying to do, the
education, what they're everything.
We're not going to get into that. But
nevertheless, the Ianim were defeated 20
25 2700 years ago, but that they weren't
completely destroyed. We still have this
war. But let's go back to the fact is
that the Makabim won the war. How do you
win such a war? Okay, let's say they
went and got a few other guys.
Let's say they got 300 men.
You fight an army with with 300 men. How
did they win the war?
Pelle, it's a wonder.
So, I'll tell you how they won the war.
The the Makabim looked at Hashem. I
didn't even further even looked at
Hashem. They said, "I'm a human being.
But Hashem can do whatever he can. When
they stood in front of the army looking
at each other, they said to each other,
"Okay, we can't do nothing but Hashem
can. Why why
disqualify the fact that Hashem can do a
miracle? Let's see what's going to
happen."
So the Makabim says, "Anyways, it's not
our power. We go and fight now. It's not
our power.
It's Hashem's power." So let them do
they did what's called nephesh
putting their life on their line. But
what they really did is a secret that
most people don't know. This secret is
called
this is a verse from the book of Isaiah
chapter 40 verse 31.
And it says,
let me first read the verse and then
I'll explain. The verse is very powerful
because it says, "But those who put
their trust in the Lord shall renew
their vigor. They shall raise wings as
eagles. They shall run and not weary.
They shall walk and not
thive or not what? I can't say what I
wrote." But anyways, you got the point.
Now, again, like I told you maybe five
million times, I don't like the
translations. It's not what I'm trying
to give over
is the ones who give their power to
Hashem.
Can you give your power to Hashem? You
little Mickey Mouse. You
Hey, I didn't say anything. said it the
ones who give their power to Hashem
they will switch the power
now how can you give your power to
Hashem so I'll tell you
says very very very simple he says every
person that
serves Hashem the right way switches
their power how
you come to Hashem and says listen
you're bringing on me such challenges I
don't have
the the to deal with it you're
challenging me with my parasa you're
challenging me with my educating the kid
you're challenging me with my zi with my
wife my husband you call challenge I
can't take this the hashem die
now I heard that cry thousands of times
of people coming die means enough. Die I
can't take it. die die die die die die
die die die die die die die die die die
die die die die die
and I'm sure each and every one of you
reach to that point that you die I can't
do this so all you need to do instead of
whine by the way is to just say to
Hashem listen you gave me a load that is
much heavier than me I can't I can't
move it I can't I just can't but you
know what Hashem what I'm going to do
I'm going to give you all my power
and in return you give me yours and
Hashem says Okay.
So, you don't have to give your power to
Hashem. It means you have to give your
full power.
Have you ever give full power
in your life?
I have.
That's why I got out of 40 years
sentence in jail. I shared this lecture
recently.
I was say I was I'm supposed to go to
jail for 40 years. I had a federal
indictment. federal
with 49 counts
and they demanded 40 years in jail. Even
if I would take half the counts off,
still nothing would help. All the
lawyers said the same. You can't find
this. You're too guilty.
127 people got arrested with me. All my
everything, the entire thing. I'm not
going to start saying the whole the
whole story. The only two people who
went out of this situation like this was
me and I should refrain from saying his
name. My good friend. Well, I said his
name. The only two people who went to
Hashem that really went to Hashem. And
if you don't know the story, go online.
I the lecture is recorded. I said two
years in jail, but after that fought a
verdict and I went out nothing like as
if nothing happened.
Miracles that you can't even imagine.
Nobody could believe. You have to hear
the entire story. And that's one of many
miracles sewed together.
And why? Because I told Hashem, "Okay,
I can't I cannot handle this. I don't
have the kale. I don't have this the the
the vessels to deal with this. But you
know what? I'm going to give you the
most I can. Not 98%. 100% of what I can.
I'm going to give whatever power I have.
And I did that
for over a year.
Like little literally like the gas on
the the the the leg on the gas pedal not
resting for a second.
And I'm talking about my transformation
in cha of course the second that I
realized that I need Hashem on my side.
And the only thing I mean it's not that
I realized that my rabbi told me when I
explained to him the situation he told
me very simple
he told me in a very aggravating way
it's an ision
means a test a test is when you can't
find your other half of 10 years that's
a test this is a death penalty what are
you talking about and he told me it's
all a test from Hashem just do what
Hashem wants you to do and and that's it
and it will disappear
You've never seen a Jew do chuva from
zero to 100 like what I did in 3 months
and how I behaved for over a year and
then and it's not by the way that the
year passed and I went back to my from
that year I kept that momentum and then
just went up but the second that I gave
the keys to Hashem I leaned completely
and I I could do anything I already
accepted that I I'm powerless but the
only thing that I can offer is full of
me my full attention
my my full focus on what I need to do.
Now ask yourself, when was the last time
you gave 100%, not 99%, cuz you're not
going to get back anything. You can only
get back, you can only do the switch if
you give 100%. That's how it works. But
if you switch, you are operating with
Hashem's power.
That's what the Makabim did. The Makabim
said, "We will give everything that we
can to the last
I don't know how to call it. Last drop,
last effort. 100%. Not 99%.
And I can testify and tell you what does
it mean 100%. Not 99%. You can't take
the the gas off. Can't take the little
leg off the gas. You have to go full
gas.
And that's what the Makabim did. They
told Hashem, "We can't do it, but we
will give you 100% of ours." And they
switched their power with Hashem. And
that was the miracle.
how physically they defeated. I heard I
read and heard many different options.
One swing with one sword of one man
killed hundreds of soldiers. I mean,
there were miracles. That's it. Hashem
has
a limit in miracles.
You limit Hashem. So, he's not going to
do any miracles. Give him all the all
the credit. He'll do whatever he needs.
And Hashem can do whatever he wants. You
know that.
So,
says, "Do a deal with Hashem." And you
just tell him, "Hashem, I'm a weak
person. You are asking me to fight this
temptation. I can't.
You're asking a dog not to eat this raw
piece of steak in front of him. I can't.
I'm weak.
But you know, I'll do my I'll do my
battle.
I'll do my part. But but you do your
part. That's it." And you know what?
Hashem has scheme. Hashem says, "Okay,
only if you give everything. It's not
going to work if you like this." Now, by
giving everything, we'll do the
definition soon. Because I'm not asking
you now to be Superman. I'm just telling
you, you're going to have to give
everything at least in one thing. And
that's why I congratulated all of you
that you're hearing it now ones. So,
you're coming in at the bottom. So, you
can really give everything.
But you have to remember that in this
deal you have to you have to give
everything that you have
and I'll elaborate.
And for that what I'm what I just told
you you need you need to be selfless.
When I did the switch it was nothing
about me. I didn't care if I'm hungry if
I'm tired if I'm cold. It it has not was
nothing about me. It was to be serving
Hashem 100%.
That's called
is self-sacrifice. I I give everything
everything that I have I sacrifice. I I
say I don't care without anyways I have
any I don't have anything. So I just
give I give whatever I have. That's why
people die. They say I without Hashem I
don't have my life.
So how better to die
is called
service or work or effort that is above
nature. Above your nature. So if your
nature is to wake up at 11:00 in the
morning, so you wake up at 9:00, it's
above your nature. If your nature is to
be judgmental to everything that moves
around you by you not being judgmental,
then that's how you do it. You do it
above your nature.
If I'm looking to this direction,
speaking those words, whatever it is
that I need to control, then anything
that I will do different, then it's
above my nature. Now, when you do it
once or twice, that's great, but
worthless. It has to be consistent.
You can't quit smoking for 30 days and
then smoke for two days and quit for 30
days and smoke for 3 days. You quit
smoking.
I was a chain smoker for I don't know
what 14 15 years. Smoked like two three
packs of Malbury every day. You would
never see me without a cigarette in my
hand. Then one day I quit smoking and
that's it.
Wasn't breaks it. That's it.
You can't do half chuva.
You then you didn't do ja. You didn't
stop. You know the you know the the the
basics of chuva is just don't do it
again. That's it. just don't do the act
again. All the rest is is nothing. Just
don't do the act again. So when I need
to make some change in me, if you trying
to change 50 aspects in you, you will
fail miserably.
If you try to change three aspects in
you, you will have success
and you will have to timeline. Okay, I'm
giving myself three months to achieve
this whatever I need to do. I will
elaborate much more what I'm talking
about. It's more important for me for
you to understand that you are going to
need to give something. It's not going
to come free. Shm doesn't give free
presents. You're going to have to do a
big effort.
If you want, you don't want, go deal
with your problems.
No problem. Shem says
you do it. So you have to come to the
understanding also that you need Hashem.
So the is called
service work effort that is way above
your nature and that's where you reach
to a level that Hashem can do miracles
and I'm saying it in the most humble
way. I have seen miracles in my own eyes
that Hashem performed for me and for
others that you there's nothing other to
say but this is a miracle. So I saw with
my own my eyes miracles. I'm sure each
and every one of you even saw
unless your eyes are spiritually shut
and you're not going to see nothing. But
I s just on myself things that I'm like
this is this is not normal. This cannot
be only Hashem can do this.
So you can reach to a level that Hashem
will do miracles for you. But it comes
with many conditions. One of the main
ones is that you have to have beta.
You have to have trust in Hashem.
Don't trust it's not going to work.
So the essence of the month of Gizv is
to strengthen your build your
trust in Hashem. And I know many people
say, "Oh yeah, of course I trust in
Hashem."
You trust in Hashem when it's easy. when
things get hard then it's the level of
trust goes much much much lower and I
gave an example many many times with a
person who's being tested with $5 $50
then comes the 50,000
when you test it with $5 and $50 then
you digest the test with with with a
smile
something that is way beyond your
capabilities
50,000 suddenly whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Oh,
so
the fact is and not that I'm saying it
in a negative way. I'm saying it that
the the people will actually understand
the right way of observing the problem.
A lot of people have overrust. They
think they think they have a lot of
trust. But the fact is that I don't wish
anyone and we pray for ourselves for
Hashem not to test us. He tests us
enough anyways. But in order to perform
what I just said five minutes ago, it's
only with
and again I'm going to take you back to
my story. You have to understand at
least for the ones who didn't hear it or
for the ones who heard it and forgot.
I was 28 29.
I was in jail for two years, a little
bit over two years. When I go out, I
know that I'm going to face a trial and
the prosecution, there's no place of
even uh negotiation, nothing. Any lawyer
I went to says, "You're going to jail.
There's no."
And then I meet a rabbi who tells me,
"Nope,
just do what a wants and you'll you'll
be fine." Now you have to understand in
the timeline of my life at the age of 26
I I I go through my near-death
experience. Okay, I get my first slap in
my face and
I don't know if there's any words even
to define and explain how I was on that
time.
I have very few pictures. You can tell
by the picture. I was a psychopath, drug
addict, criminal,
something not normal.
went down to the bottom of the bottom of
the bottom of what what a human can
reach. And then Hashem comes and slaps
me over my face, wakes me up to a
completely different reality. Now you
think that the next day I woke up, I put
a yamak on and went to the synagogue.
It took me a year to start the engine,
which of course right away many things
stopped instantly.
Criminal activities, drugs, that stopped
instantly. But I was the same exact
person in regards to serving Hashem. No
yaka, no nothing. The only thing that I
did right away because I knew that I
need to do something physical, I used to
put fillain on every day. And
I would not eat meat and dairy. That was
my kosher thing. And I I I with it fill
said morning prayers. I had like very
few things. That's it. That was the cap.
And a little bit then a few months
later, I'm sure a lot of you know the
story. I started with Shabba. Everything
was like this. So the first year after
the near-death experience, there was
nothing external in the change. The
change was only internal. Stop lying.
Stop cheating. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
First thing that bothered me is how I
spoke. I told you I went months without
speaking. Especially in jail. I hated
how I spoke. Every second word that came
out of my mouth was a curse or whatever.
Why am I saying that? So for a whole
year I'm not really doing I'm doing
chuva mentally. I'm changing myself
internally but nothing external
fine this much and then of course FBI
and the DEA closes on me. I get arrested
and that's where I do chuva in jail.
There's nothing else to do when when you
like completely like this then you
really need
from the depth I have called you. So I
started doing chuva in jail. But how
much can chuva can you do in jail? No
rabbi, no books. I don't know even what
to do.
But that's where I really did chuva. And
my chuva then became physical. Not
physical that I did mitzvah the physical
that Hashem broke me physically
physically.
How many times I got beaten up to a
point that one time I was three weeks I
was unconscious.
I was in Oklahoma in some crazy jail.
There was a group. There all groups,
gangs. One gang was neo-Nazis. 30, 40
guys. One time they all jumped on me,
almost killed me. They wanted to kill me
obviously. Three weeks I was
unconscious. Broken ribs, every So,
Hashem made me chab with blood.
So, I went through hell in jail. That's
where I really did chuva. But when I
came out of jail, which was a miracle to
start with, but go watch the video with
the story. Of course, the lawyers are
all telling me, "You have no chance
here." I'm I'm like I was attacked from
all directions and then I meet my rabbi
and very quickly I got friendly with him
and within a few weeks I told him my
situation and then just imagine
everybody tells me you do you you you
finished no chance and this guy long
beard kind of looks like me in the
external look not like that we look the
same but long beard
just for him he just brushes it. No, no,
no, no. I can't say.
Do you know how much hope he gave me?
I believed him. I actually believed him.
I believed him that if I will do what
Hashem wants me to do, which is
obviously serve him, then Hashem will do
will get me out of. I actually was so
humbled by Hashem crushed. I actually
believed and I had bet.
That was the key. The rabbi told me,
"Don't worry, do A, B, and C." He told
me, "Shabbat, fill in Torah, bre
everything." He just told me, "Okay,
that's what I need to do. That's what I
do." The next day, I became Rabbi Lola.
Well, it took a few years till Rabbi
Lord, but the next day I was
because I didn't have any other option.
But the key to the success was one
thing.
I actually had the the trust that I'm
sacrificing. I'm putting my end of the
deal. I had the trust in Hashem that he
will do his part of the deal. And I know
for a fact that most people don't have
that trust. They have the trust when
it's little things. But when big things
come to your life, the majority of
people, they don't have the trust in
Hashem. They don't believe that he can
do something.
You know when you believe after the
first miracle you experience like
jumping off a bridge or out of a plane
if you ever did one of the above. Diving
out of jumping out of the plane for the
first time is scary.
You you know unless you I don't want to
say what I was about to say. Oh my god.
Unless No, no. I I'm just thinking how I
jumped out of a plane the first time I
did. I Okay, I'm going to say I was just
very very high on cocaine. So it was
very easy. A but uh you jump out of the
plane the first time it's very scary but
once you did it the first time and it
went well the next time like that and
same thing with everything daring once
you saw it worked
I didn't die then you do it again so
same thing once you get a miracle and
you see the mirror you're like oh my god
it worked it worked the next time you
will believe but you need to do the
first one
so let's continue.
The essence of is to build your beton,
to bring you to a place that you have
real beton in Hashem. And when you reach
that realon in Hashem, then you really
fly high. Excuse me.
Guys on the live, do you hear me? I
don't see anything. Any thumbs up?
Nothing. Hearts. There were so many
hearts before. I thought I don't even
know what to understand what's going on
there.
Okay. Okay. I don't need the hearts. I
just need to make sure that you're
hearing me. Mhm. Yeah, you can do the
arts. Uh, no, because I seen the angle
of my eye, I saw movement, but then it
all froze. So, you all hear me? Well,
very good.
So, let me backtrack a little bit. Is
the time to build your to build your
trust in Hashem.
And that's why the book of explains to
us that the letter connected to the
month of isk like I told you is a
circle.
It protects you. It gives you this
cover.
But more than that is the letter that
starts the verse.
You know that verse because you say it
three times a day in
the prayer that we say in and we say it
twice in because you have to say three
times a day that's why we say it and if
you I think I actually gave a class on
that that you have to say three times a
day even you know what I have a I mean I
tell people even if you don't pray three
times a day then say ash three times a
day it has remedies unbelievable
especially for panas for your
livelihood. So we have to say three
times a day. That's why I'm assuming
it's familiar to most of you. If you
notice,
it's all the letters in the alphabet,
right? And then it goes through all the
alphabet, but it's missing one letter.
It's missing the letter.
And what comes after
the
and the verse that we say is
we skip the noon. You know why? Because
the noon is the is when you fall.
So it's just hinting on the noon
inflame.
No starts with the noon
says no no no
flim you don't fall
when you do fall.
Hashem will catch you and no such thing.
So he didn't even want to put it in the
in the psalm.
But the translation of what I just read
is the Lord supports all those who fall.
It's very obvious and clear that when
Hashem already architected some type of
fall in your life, he's already there to
catch you. Doesn't matter whether you go
through a financial crisis, marital
crisis, anything, health. Again, no need
to mention the long list. When Hashem
already orchestrated for you some type
of a situation, whether it's to punish
you, test you, cleanse you, I don't
know.
He already already prepared what you're
going to fall on. He's there. He's there
catching. He knows how far you're going
to fall. You just don't know. And you
don't have the trust.
So the letter non signifies
falling. So it doesn't appear in the
psalm and the letter theim is is hinted
in the of the next verse
the the support that I'm talking
is there even if you don't feel it
most people don't feel it you don't feel
the support now you are leaning on the
chair you feel the support if you will
sit on a stool you don't feel support.
You kind of have to hold yourself.
Hashem is always supporting you. It's
just that you don't feel it.
That's the fact. You can't say Hashem is
not supporting me. So, you need to get
to a point to that you you feel the
support because by the way going down is
not a bad thing. Of course, you want to
prevent going down or back.
But in anything healthy has to be a step
back.
everything. I explained that that the
rhythm of life is up, down, up, down. In
order to go up, you have to be down.
And that's the rhythm of life. Put your
heart connected to a monitor. That's
what you're going to see.
Up, down, up, down. Your life is about
up, down, up, down. And when this line
is flat, like how you would wish your
life to be flat and boring, that's dead.
So if your life is flat, then you're
spiritually dead. Life has to be up and
down. Now it's like going like this on a
on a swing. Oh, how I used to love swing
was I was a little kid. But I would go
like like the
you know what I mean? And then of course
when it goes to the end like leave and
like
what's more enjoyable this or this?
For you it's this. I will beg the
different for me was this.
You know, now I was I was in America for
a few months
and in one of I took my family of course
I can't disappear for two months which I
don't think I'm ever ever going to do
such a thing. Two months is like I'm not
I don't want to do this anymore. It's
two months tour. It takes two three
months to prepare two three months to
recover. So my year is ruined
and you miss all the classes. But
nevertheless uh I took my family we
traveled. We had a very lovely time.
Every place I wear, I shared it lectures
time with the family. So I my kids are
young. So we went to an amusement park
and of course I might have some white
hair but in my mind I'm still 21. So we
went on all the
the rides. There was only one ride that
I said, "Okay, here is where my age is
going to kick in and tell me not to go
on this ride because I'm going to come
off this ride and probably throw up."
But all the rest I did go up and it was
a lot of fun. But one ride, first of
all, just so you understand, maybe some
of you know, it was in Colorado and I
forgot the name of the place. It's
famous. It's an amusement amusement park
in Colorado. And what's special about
it? It's on the tip of a mountain. So
when you go on the roller coaster, it's
on the tip of the mountain. breathtaking
views. Something out of this world. So
they had a swing, but you know the swing
that swings like this. I'm talking about
I don't know 100 foot high maybe more
something gigantic
and you're just sitting in a chair like
this and it swings from side to
something. Now the swing going out you
go out you there's nothing underneath
you. You're literally in the middle of
the air. Very very very special ride.
But why am I saying that? because it
swings like this, but it's a big swing,
not like in an regular playground. So,
why did I ask you what is more
enjoyable? Going down or the going
backwards? You said going down for me.
It's going backwards. Going down. You
see the I'm Where can I crash?
It's scary now. There's no ground under
me. When I going back, I don't see
nothing.
whatever. Some people when they drive on
a go on a bus or a train,
they you know the seats are in front of
each other. Some people can't drive when
the when they're going backwards and
some people vice versa. They prefer
prefer that. Why am I saying that?
Besides the fact that we're all
different is that both swings are good.
Depends what you want to get from the
swing.
What where you what what are you getting
here? What are you getting here? But the
fact is when you put it all in your mind
anywhere high that I need to go, I have
to be somewhere low first.
And that's why you have to know that you
can only lean on Hashem because the
reality is that if you're standing on
something soft, you can't jump high. You
need solid ground to to jump high.
So you need to know that Hashem is that
solid ground. But the fact is that the
rhythm of life, like I'm saying, is up
and down. You can't fight it. You know,
I just said about the crypto. I'm making
fun out of it because I got so many
calls and so many messages about that.
But even in the trading world, the going
down is bad. Well, if you bought high,
it's going it's bad for you.
But even in the trading world, in many
of the times, the going down is just
going down a little bit to catch
momentum.
A healthy stock going up, there's always
going to be going down. You're not going
to see just going up. You're going to
see up up down down up up down up up.
Right?
Everything in life in order to move
forward, you need to move backwards a
little bit. That's the rule in life. The
moving backwards a little bit I take it
is when you humble yourself where you
rejuvenate where you recalibrate
yourself. When you go down Hashem is
trying to in other words put you down.
So take it as I need to now more humble
myself.
I need to more center myself so I will
have the elevation that I can jump out.
But I have never seen any person that
can only go up up up. You have to have
tikunim corrections. You see it in
everything. Doesn't matter if it's in
the trading world. If I told you on a
monitor,
it's the rule in everything. In order to
move some a little bit forward, you need
to little move a little bit back. When I
want to move forward, I'll give you one
example out of many. In my relationship
with my spouse, how would I move forward
with that? How would I develop a better
relationship? You know how? By moving
back.
you move back a little bit, making more
room and space for your spouse,
answering less,
then then you'll grow better. You're
making room. You you're going back. And
this is an example with the
relationship. It can be in anything that
you that you put your mind to. You're
saying if I want to go up here, then I
have to move back a little bit. So take
it to the Torah world. Many people feel
that they're stuck in their spiritual
level. I'm baluva. I'm a convert 20
years now. Now I for the last 10 years
I'm not going up. So move back. Give
something in. Give in something. Give up
something. Make a change. You have to
move back. Moving back. I'm making
space. You will never fail in anything
in your life if you make space for
others.
That's it.
So you have to understand that while
you're in the state of falling, Hashem
is supporting you.
If you don't have beton, you don't know
when the fall will stop or you just
don't care. When you're riding on a
roller coaster or one of the rides of
the amusement park, you're not afraid
because you looks all steady and secure.
I trust Hashem. I trust Hashem when I'm
here. And I trust Hashem when I'm here.
And I trust Hashem when I'm here. And
it's all fun. how you look at it. This
can be fun. This can be fun.
When I fall back and then when I'm
talking about a fall back, it can be
spiritually that I'm going back. Oh, I
have struggles, challenges, all sorts of
things in my life. I don't look at it in
a negative way. Oh my god, what am I
going to do? And I start putting myself
under pressure. Oh, oh,
I I I look at it in a completely
different way. I look at it that now
it's time to walk back. and happened to
many many many times to me in my
spiritual growth that I went back
many many many times never to a point
that I would do something like a big sin
but you know many times in my spiritual
growth I had pullbacks
that's totally normal now when you
growing spiritually you don't like that
oh who
up until now I was very particular now
I'm starting to
you know and I'll give you an examples
if you don't relate what I'm
first few years of my prayer I had a set
time when I'm when I'm praying first few
years of my chuva and then at some point
I I went to don't remember some vacation
or something so I had to pray in a
different hour anyways suddenly from
that time for about half a year my
prayers were like I would pray at 11
without the minion at home and like as
if I went a step back in my level of
so for me spiritually I was oh my god
what's happening
I'm falling.
I'm going to be a ker now. Oh my god,
what's happening there? S is winning me.
That's what happened maybe in the
beginning. I didn't understand what I I
can actually go back. It can happen.
Yeah, of course you're going to go back.
Who says you're always going to be like
a shooting star? And it's healthy to go
back a little bit cuz when you go back,
you can review what's going on. Why am I
back? Why am I falling?
For 10 years, I was able to hold my
mouth. Suddenly, I remember the first
time that a not nice word came out of my
mouth after I did chuva because I told
you I really didn't like how I spoke
after I started doing chuva because
every word that came out of my mouth was
a curse and some derogatory
adjective after that and I couldn't I I
I had to stop it. So for many many years
that was like in the front line just
don't stop using foul language and I
remember the first time that I failed
was like after 12 years I said the the f
word
you know now I know some people like big
deal I say it 1700 times a day but for
me it was a big to it came out and I was
like my wife looked at me and she was
like where did this come from and I was
like I guess there was some uh letters
left behind
I don't Oh, I thought I sweeped the
whole the whole thing. I guess a few of
them stayed behind. Boop, one came out.
But for me was a shock. How did it come
out? It passed all the guards. It passed
all the filteration systems that a word
like this can come out of my mouth. But
I couldn't hold myself. But this is a
this is a crack in the security. I
didn't like it at all. I was like,
what's going on here? That's a crack in
my security. I was able to put his leg
in even for one second. Now, I didn't
look at it as, "Oh my god, I'm going to
Gome now. Hashem is going to barbecue
me." I didn't look at it in the oh my
god, the severity of what I did, cuz it
wasn't that bad. I looked at what's
going on here. What penetrated my system
that was able to move me from my my
stable situation?
So, why am I saying that? And I don't
want to give too many examples, so we're
not going to go that long, but you get
what I'm saying. Struggles can come in
many different ways. And if you know how
to recognize what Hashem is trying to do
there, you don't feel you don't sorry.
You don't fear the going back.
You don't fear it.
And I'm sorry I'm saying that. I'm sure
some of the people online are also with
the script. I just spoke with today with
a friend and he's like, "Listen, I I
lost a lot of money. Do you think it's
going to bounce back? Cuz if it's going
to bounce back, then I'll just keep it
and wait for it to bounce back." like as
if I'm like I don't know leav like as if
I'm going to know it's going to bounce
back. But why am I saying that? Because
sometimes the traders will understand
what I'm talking about. Sometimes
there's pullbacks. So you go back. Yeah.
Yeah. Suddenly you're at big loss. Wait,
wait calmly. It will turn. Now I'm not
giving you trading advice. Don't come
and say Rabbi never said wait it will
turn. I'm not telling you anything about
trading. I'm just telling you. I'm
giving examples.
Sometimes it goes down down down down.
If you're smart, then you refuel when
it's down. If you want to take it back
to the trading world, it's down now. Now
buy
because eventually it will go up. If
we're looking at that analogy, but
that's everything in life. Now you're
down. Okay? So you went for something in
life. Okay? Happens to everybody.
Don't don't lose your hope. Don't lose
your focus. Don't lose your your
stability. Don't think Hashem is not
holding you. Don't fear when you have
that fear. this amuna that you don't
believe, you're ruining everything.
You're letting all the darkness just
come in. Then doubts come into your mind
and this belief and everything and then
you're you're a complete mess.
The advantage is like I told you that
when you fall from there at some point
it's the end and then you can only go
back up. Now let's continue. So we
explained why the letter invit
surrounding me the month of can build a
wall around me of security and faith and
it's a very powerful month
and not only that
I should understand even in the darkest
darkest places Hashem is there
I I I was shared all sorts of videos
with the hostages that came back Hashem
a few weeks ago and you hear that all of
them say the same thing. I felt Hashem
there. Hashem was with me. All secular
people all saying the same thing. One
guy I heard I did the
we did like they were there were were a
few all every interview that I heard and
not a lot. It's not that I sit all along
and look at these videos but everyone
that I heard I heard the person saying I
felt Hashem with me. And of course,
Hashem is with you everywhere. In the
darkest places you ever reach, Hashem is
there. I felt Hashem in the worst places
that I were. I felt Hashem and I was
felt protected.
So we explain the
letter. Now about what's about the
Sagittarius why we why we have a boring
arrow.
We have another months uh a bull or a
bucket or
kashhat. I don't know what Sagittarius
means in English. In Hebrew it's called
kashhat. Why? Because the kashhat
operates the kashet. The bow. That's it.
So the boer the kashhat is like a boower
if I would have to invent a word because
the keshet is the bow and the one who
operates the bow is the kashhat. So
that's what the name of the sign is. But
why? What's the significance of kashhat
of this the person who shoots the arrow?
The trick here is the more you pull the
arrow, the further it will go when you
release. If you pull it just a little
bit, it will go like that. You want it
to go fast and very precise and far.
Then you need to pull it as much as you
can, as much as it will allow.
But the arrow will go the furthest and
the furthest away.
And what technically now happens with
the arrow that the arrow becomes your
messenger. Right? I wanted to kill that
person. I couldn't run all the way
there. So I sent the arrow to do the
job. That's that's the job of an arrow.
The concept of this kashhat of
charging the the
bow and releasing the arrow is compared
in many times in teachings of Kabala to
prayer. When you pray the right way, the
more you pray better, the more you pull
the arrow back and you then you release
it will go further.
So your prayer reaches further. Now I
know that Hashem has an issue to hear
your prayers but I explained many times
your prayers have to go through the
firmaments and then the prayer goes
through the four worlds of
it has to go through the worlds and your
prayer then hits the sins that you did
and the sins prevent it from going
higher. So of course Hashem is
everywhere but there are there's an
order how your prayers go up.
So the prayer the concept of shooting an
arrow is compared to a prayer because
your prayer is shooting an arrow. I want
the message to go far. So you need to
pull back. You can't come and pull it
like this. No effort.
You need to put some effort here. You
need to put some work. You want to send
the prayer, it has to go far.
So it's important to understand that
concept. Let's move on. I want to not to
take it too long and explain a few more
things. Another
concept that is taught in the book of
about the month of Kisv is that there's
different emotions that you can apply in
the month of of the month of the one for
the month of Kisv is silence.
Don't say anything.
I can now sidetrack about that for
another four hours. How precious is your
silence?
How powerful is you not saying something
and just being quiet?
I I love quoting who says, "I've lived
amongst the giants all my life and I've
not learned anything that is good for
the body but silence."
I didn't know how to be quiet.
If you know how to guard your lips and
your tongue,
you'll never have any problems.
All the problems is problems that come
to you is your mouth and your mouth and
your tongue and your lips.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I can't even start
explaining to you the power of being
silent. And I told you because I wanted
to refine my speech. I would go on tano
debu for weeks. weeks I wouldn't talk.
The most cleansing, elevating,
refreshing. I don't even know how just
not to talk. Now, of course, in not in
all situations, it work. I tried a few
times with a wife and kids to do that.
Doesn't work.
But nevertheless,
so you need to apply it in your life.
this
a to know when to shut up in front of
other people,
when not to gossip, when not to lie,
when not to say something that will be
hurtful. And more than that, I just told
you that the when you go back, you give
space.
That's the being quiet.
I give space.
Very easy for me to start an argument. I
can start an argument with you in a
second and a half. And very easy to
start an argument with your spouse, with
your kids, with your boss. The smarter
person knows how to shut up.
When people ask me, "What is your secret
to a successful marriage?" is shut up.
Just know when to shut up. That's my
advice. It doesn't You don't need to be
right. Nobody cares if you're right.
That's it. It doesn't matter right now
who's right in the argument. Nobody
cares if you're right, if she's right,
if he's right. Just be smart. And I'm
smart when it comes to argument. I just
don't get into arguments. You're right.
Yeah, you're right. That's it. So I
don't get into arguments because I'm
never right. I don't need to write. I
rather be smart than right.
So
silence I will elaborate a little bit
more soon. If you know how to put a
brakes on your mouth and then to
manifest it to your action because many
times you have to ignore situations
that's silence too.
You know many times I have parents who
come to me and tell me my kid is not
religious took off the pot no yamaka my
girl walks with a miniskirt what do I
do? You don't do nothing.
You accept the child as it is and the
door stays open and nothing changes.
And if you do anything different, then
you're never going to see that child
again. And you're going to make it
worse.
So you don't change anything.
It's none of your business. I know you
want to, but you're going to have to
figure out many creative ways and
colorful ways to make sure that that
child goes in the path of Hashem. And
it's it's really the child of Hashem.
But you don't have much, you know, and
many of the times you need to be quiet.
Yeah. I also don't like certain things.
I have to be quiet. Why I'm looking I
always weigh the what I'm going to gain
and what I'm going to lose.
Risk gain management. So in most of the
times I find out that I'll gain much
more if I back off.
And that's the
let's continue. I mentioned that we had
a war with Yavan. Yavan is Greece but
like I told you the ancient Greek
empire.
And I mentioned that we're still
fighting that
idea and yavan is basically to make you
not believe in Hashem. That's what we're
fighting now. I don't have to elaborate
on that. I have 500 videos online
expressing my personal opinions. But you
see that right now is ruling us. I mean
not to the actual kingdom and empire,
the kipah
that is just pulling us to the world of
sheh. Everything is sheer and every day
becomes worse and worse and now
everything is based on sheer means a lie
a deceit. So we see that the mo movement
here is the movement of Ivan not to
believe in the existence of God to
believe in the government and the
science and everything that we see in
front of my eyes believe in what you see
etc. You understand what I'm saying?
That's the war that we're dealing with
right now. And that's the war against
Hashem.
And interestingly, everything in in the
Torah has the right explanations and
hints. That's why it's not right to
learn Torah in English. Because if you
taking the word yavan in Hebrew, you
write it v.
If you switch the order, you will get a
word that is called noi. Noi is
something beautiful. It's beautiful
things.
When you buy things that are just to
make the house look beautiful, that's
called noi. And noi when you're making
things look beautiful. So yavan is
basically they don't they the yavan
doesn't show you the right order that
you read and you understand it's yavan.
It comes the other way around. So you
see it as knowing oh the world provides
a lot of beautiful things. All the
beautiful things that I can get here.
Beautiful food, beautiful clothes, all
sorts of excitements here and there.
Beautiful hotels, beautiful beaches,
beautiful cars. Everything is beautiful.
I want everything beautiful here. But
that's the shekele. That's the line.
That's your van. Come to me. In my trip
that I was now, I told you I was in
Colorado on a on a roller coaster. I was
also in Las Vegas. Oo.
That's the sheer in all the glitter that
comes with it. You see the sheer what
the what the world offers.
All she one big balloon of air.
So the concept of yan is the beauty in
the world. The sheh will cater you all
the beautiful things and then it falls
apart after a second because it was
built in China. When we were kids toys
were strong and sturdy. I still have my
kid my my toys. You know that I have
toys from when I was 5 years old
to give it to my kids. Now the kids buy
toys three weeks is all broken. So it's
either China or Taiwan. That's it. It's
not worth anything.
And that's one aspect out of many. How
the cater how the Yavan of the world
caters to you the beauty and then you
all day long manifested
infactuated with that and you're not
focusing on Hashem. That's it.
That's why Yavan is putting you in front
of a screen all day long. you in front
of a screen
feeding you all this sheer that's why I
keep telling you this is you getting
hypnotized
it's pulling you away from the kadu and
I know a lot of people comment me but I
watch your videos online so just watch
my videos not cats dancing and people
crushing on skateboards or whatever you
watch or if you need to be educated for
five minutes how to create a a dish or
some recipe I understand but when you go
like this for five hours and it's the
same junk
Then you are right now uh a perfect
example how the world of sheer just
sucked you in and you live a life of
sheer. So the sheer the the lie shows
you that if you want to be beautiful you
have to have huge lips. So now you have
500 million women injecting toxins into
their lips just so they can look a
little bit better and then they look
like Donald Duck. And what you don't
think that I noticed yet your lips look
all all blown up. You think that is
attractive?
You look like a duck.
But the sheer tells millions, you're
going to look better. You're going to be
more attractive. You're going to be more
desired.
Everybody wants to be desired than
attractive. So that's she
and I'm just giving one example and if
any of the you do it don't take it me as
as offensive just understand what I'm
trying to say
not trying to do to to hurt anyone I'm
just saying that that's an a nice
example of and I can give you 500 other
examples of shekels using all your
credit cards all day long
buying things that you don't even have
the ability of buying nice cars leasing
cars I mean it's I mean the list and
just Make your own math where where you
are fed by the sheh and you are fed by
the sheh by the lie. Everything is
wrapped nice. You go on websites like
tamu. Wow. And then you get junk. You
never seen anything like this in your
life. In the pictures. Wow. One day I
saw a beautiful ad on the internet.
Beautiful sweater. I ordered it. Came
four months. By the time I got the
sweater, the winter was over. And the
sweater reached me to here. I look like
Pinocchio in this sweater
and the pictures on the website. Wow. I
was like, this is going to be like the
nicest sweater I ever wore in my life.
And then to communicate with these
liars, another 3 months.
But when you go on the website,
everything is nice. And again, I'm going
over and over onto I'm already crushing
water. You got the point. That's Yavan.
Now you need to ask yourself the
question, who did the beauty of the
world?
China. Who did beauty in the world?
Chanel or whatever junk that you think
is beautiful. Hashem made the beauty in
the world. Which beauty are you going
after?
Are you going after the beauty of what
the world caters to you? That's why you
buy processed products in the
supermarket because the package is full
of colors
and it looks nice and beautiful and
inviting. The organic natural one is
brown
and it's like on the side there. It's
hard to chew.
So you fall for the shel and you eat the
junk what the supermarket tells you.
Which beauty are you going after? Are
you going after the fake beauty or are
you going after the real beauty? The
real beauty in the world only Hashem
created. The fake beauty is not Hashem.
Even though Hashem is behind everything,
but that's the that's the Now, why is
that important to know? Because you need
to ask yourself all the time, which
beauty are you going after?
It's nothing wrong with going after the
basic things. I'm not said, don't
understand me wrong. I also love
beautiful things. It's fine to be
dressed nice. It's fine to drive a nice
car, to have beautiful paintings on the
walls. I'm not telling you to live in
poverty in in a shed and wear.
I also like beautiful things. I wear
beautiful clothes. I like to go I No,
I'm not different. But I'm It's not the
focus.
It's not If I don't have it, then the
world is going to collapse.
It's to make your life more comfortable.
And some people need it, some people
don't. The point is not to be infatuated
with it. And most people don't even
notice because they're so busy in
themselves, they don't notice how they
look. So try to look at yourself. But
why is that so important what I'm
saying? Besides that, you need to ask
yourself this question 50 times a day.
Which beauty do I want to look at?
But I explained in one of my videos that
there are four Galuyot, four exiles
that are going to be controlled by four
empires. And all these four, I know
you're thinking of the fifth, Ishmael,
but that's not in the one that I'm
talking about, but and I explained that
by the way in one of the first Corona
videos about the Galot. But
nevertheless,
uh I have mentioned many times the Bahar
and a few other great Cabala books
explain that the verse the second verse
in the Torah
it's first Hashem created the heavens
and the earth. And the second verse
says,
okay, famous verse, second verse in the
Torah, in that verse, it's already
explained about the four exiles.
I explained that very very deep and all
the the the explanations in one of my
videos. I think it's the video.
I think that video was removed from
YouTube a long time ago. I think it's
the video that I said I don't remember
it's called. Doesn't matter. I'll think
about it. But it's what I'm saying is
that the
each one
each one is attached to one of the
empires and which means darkness
is
the exile of Yavan.
Now just that you understand the trans I
want to read the entire verse that I
just said it will resonate more. It says
the earth was astonishingly empty.
darkness was on the face of the deep. So
the darkness that it's talking about
that we are in that's what it's talking
that's the
darkness that I think that I'm doing
great. I think that everything is fine.
I don't feel the absence of Hashem
and life is great till the disaster
comes and everybody hits with disasters
and then you figure out that you really
couldn't lean on anything and hopefully
you wake up from that to find and seek
to seek and find Hashem and every person
gets their slap in different ways. Some
people depended on the on their money
and then came a financial crash. You
know many people I know that personally
lost all their wealth with maid off if
you remember that
and before that the crash of the real
estate 2011 2008 there were so many the
crash with the all the mortgages in
America I know people in 9/11
so disaster can come and hit any person
and I'm talking about now financially
people lose loved ones shalom tragedies
now if you have hem in your life you
understand what's going on. You don't
have Hashem in your life. You your your
life just shattered beneath your legs.
So we have to understand that this home
this the the face of the deep that's
talking about this galut. We're now in
this home this darkness that you can
even get to a point that's how thick the
darkness that you can go to YouTube and
learn from rabbis and you think that
you're getting Torah. I don't go much on
the internet, but I can tell you with
with my eyes closed that probably half
the Torah on the internet
don't even think of listening to it.
It's not Torah.
And the person who's presenting it has a
long nice beard like me.
That's for a fact. And if I want to be
more precise, it's probably 50 to 80%
that what you'll find on the internet is
not Torah. That's why I keep saying all
the time, learn Torah from a book. Don't
learn Torah from some guy you never met.
You don't know who he is and he's
teaching Torah. Now the problem is when
you are not educated, you don't know
what that guy is saying for all you know
what I'm saying. Now I can invent things
but you have the trust in me that I
don't invent things. But just that you
know online there are many many many
many some of them are very small some of
them are huge.
You know there's a whole organization
this slightman
it's kind of like the cabala center
tens of thousands of followers tens the
guys with the beard rabbi
and people and and and you know what 99%
Torah sorry 99.9%
Torah and deep Torah
0.01
venom.
The guy sits in front of a camera and
says, "Jewish men don't have to put the
fill in. You can do it in your covenant,
in your spiritual cabalistic
intentions."
And tens of thousands of people follow
the organization and they tell me, "I
learned Kabala. I learned Torah."
Hey, I don't know what you're learning.
You you you you are being poisoned.
And that's one example out of many. You
know, many big organizations like that
are like that that they give you 99.9%
truth and then one little drop of venom.
I don't want to start naming names.
Maybe I should save a few more souls.
But don't uh don't believe anything that
you hear. Not everything that shines is
gold. Not every person with a beard is a
rabbi. And even if he is, who says he's
talking the truth? That's why I
recommend learning learn with the book.
The book is not here to lie for you.
And I know many people say, "But I
listen to your videos." Okay, listen to
my videos. Find yourself a good rabbi
that you believe in, that you trust,
that is trustworthy, that is learned,
and stick to him. You don't need to
listen to 1700 rabbis.
You need one rabbi.
It doesn't say, it says, "Make yourself
a rabbi. One that you trust, that you
know, and that's it."
So the sheer is not only in handbags and
in botox and in whatever sheer you are
it's your department. She is in the
world of the Torah already. That's how
dark the the galut is that in the world
of the Torah you meet the corruption
and rape and molestation and theft and
robbery
all you know in the in the custom like
this.
So you're telling me you want you want
to argue that there's no there's no
darkness.
Do me a favor. The darkness has never
been as bad that you can't even in the
world of the Torah, you don't even know
who to who's who, who to trust, who to
believe, who's the real thing, who's
going to feed you the next lie.
And that's all in the world of the
Torah.
You can't trust anything, anyone.
And like David says,
"Blessed is the person who trusts inem."
And he continues, he says,
"Dam is the person who trusts in another
person."
So that's the for you. Now, now we have
we can conclude because I explained to
you the remember I started with the Sam
and then we talked about the kashad the
Sagittarius and then I said that there's
another thing. Remember sleeping the
sha. Let's see what it says. First of
all, yavan equals darkness. Darkness
equals sleeping. When it's darkness, you
numb.
When does the enemy come to you? When
you're sleeping, you're numb. When you
go to sleep physically, all your senses
are not working. You're breathing,
you're alive, but neither one of your
senses are working. You're numb.
That's Yavan. Yavan is coming to tell
you you are in a state of darkness. And
for us to understand what this darkness
means is a state of sleeping. You're
numb. You're not active. You're not
doing nothing.
Now I explained that the attribute I I I
taught that many times. We are we we we
we we attach to every month a certain
attribute and the attribute of the month
of is shah sleeping
and what does it mean sleeping I will
give some type of a definition it's
stopping your physical movements of this
world and you going inwards
so when you when you are awake you walk
you eat you talk you you you you do all
sorts of physical actions
When you go to sleep, you cease to do
any physical action. You don't walk, you
don't talk, you don't eat, you don't
listen, you don't you don't learn.
Nothing. And so the motion of it is
going inwards.
Nothing outside is now affecting. When
you are asleep, do you know what's going
on around you?
You know that one time I was so tired, I
slept through a fire.
My first daughter was a baby. She was
teething. We were up all night. We went
to sleep like 4:00 or 5:00 in the
morning. We were so tired. The next day,
woke up in the morning. I opened the
window. The the the house of the
neighbor is not there. All burned down.
And we slept through the fire. Fire
trucks. What? When you're sleeping, you
don't know what's going around around
you.
So, the definition of what I'm trying to
give to you is that sleeping is when you
stop any physical action and you turn
inwards. You kind of like uh cocoon
yourself.
And now there are two types of sleeping.
There's a positive sleep and a negative
sleep. Negative sleep I'll define it
very very short and not need to
elaborate on that. It's running away
from your reality. Sometimes you're like
I can't deal I just I need to go to
sleep. So many of the sleeps of people
and I'm not talking about a nap is
running away from the reality. Sleeping
is how I don't deal with the reality. So
people sleep 17 hours 14 hours through
the day. That's a negative sleep. A a
positive sleep is that your soul goes
out of your body and it goes up to the
heavens and many things happen. It gets
rejuvenated. It gets spiritually
charged. It can get washed off from all
sorts of spiritual dirt. But the most
important what happens to it throughout
the night
is that it will receive things in the
world above that it cannot receive while
it's in the body.
Now imagine now I'm a undercover
Mossad agent and they put me somewhere
in I don't know where Iran, Syria and I
have to you know take pictures whatever
they want me to do and I have to live a
certain life and I can't do whatever I
want and I'm very restricted and I'm
giving I don't even know why this
example came out to my mind but
nevertheless when you go home
finally you are yourself you can you you
you can behave different you see things
different
that example actually I don't how I got
to that example the fact what I'm trying
to say is that the nama with the soul
goes up to shamine it can receive
spiritual enlightenments and blessings
and energy and many different things
when it cannot receive it while it's in
the body you know I have a better I have
a better explanation take now uh
soldiers that go into a submarine
While they're under the water, they
can't receive messages from the outer
world. They're completely isolated and
they're very limited with water, very
limited with food, very limited with
supplies, very limited with space and
have to make ends with it. And finally,
when they go up to the surface, then
they can get food again, but much better
food, much more comfortable quarters.
They see the light, they you trying to
get what I'm the analogy, what I'm
trying to say. the soul in your body.
You don't feel your soul, but it doesn't
mean your soul doesn't feel itself while
it's in the body. Now, it's something
hard for us to relate with. What? So
there's two of me, one is me, one is
more me like but the reality your soul
right now that is parked in your body
and I'm talking about the not talking
about your you that eventually goes out
of your body like a turtle going out of
the the the how do you call it the
shirion the shell or the slug going out
of the the ber however it's called you
know what I'm talking about your soul
goes out of your body one
The and the will go wherever it needs to
go. And the na is eternal. Don't you
think the na has the capacity to
understand what's going on while it's in
your body? You don't relate with it cuz
you're covered with so many spiritual
layers. You operate right now in the
level of nephesh. The nephesh is dressed
inside the inside. But your nama, your
soul in your body has their awareness of
what's going on.
So it's restricted in the body.
when it goes out of the body
gets some spiritual air. So the soul
goes up to the heavens and it can
receive
spiritual light that it cannot receive
while it's in the body. And needless to
say when you do that you wake up in the
morning happy, healthy, motivated,
full of joy, focused on what you need to
do and many other things.
So,
like I said, positive sleep, negative
sleep. Most people sleep negative. And
that's why for the last 20 years, I've
been saying to people, just say kajma on
the bed before you go to sleep. Your
sleep will be 60 to 80% much better.
Uh, but most people are tired at the end
of the day and that's where the gets
them and no mama and you don't really
benefit from your sleep. And it's not
that you have nightmares all day long,
but you don't benefit really from your
sleep. And the the the the proof to that
is you wake up in the in the morning not
so you don't jump out of your bed. If
you jump out of your bed and you're
fully energized, doesn't matter if you
slept for 2 hours or 10 hours and you
right away happy, focused, positive,
etc., then you slept well. Meaning that
your soul went to the right place. Any
of the what I just said, you don't wake
up like that, you didn't go to the right
place. So when you wake up physically
tired, phys spiritually and emotionally
tired, no drive to go out of bed, no
motivation, not
your soul was flying in the universe at
night looking for some refuge to hide
and that's it. And you woke up in the
morning tired,
beaten up, sad, no hope, no desire to do
anything.
So you can change that but just that
with a little bit of a little prayer
before you go to sleep
the bedtime. So going back to inv
sleep that's the attribute of the month.
So the power of sleep inv can go
positive or negative.
I need to be very careful in the month
of Kisv not to fall asleep.
How many times did I tell my young kids
it's
whatever we staying up all night and
then they fell asleep on the book on the
table.
Hosanna I'm sure you know we spoke about
it many times that's the night you want
to be up you want to learn Torah that
night you can change everything in your
life on Hosana
whatever is written for you all your
blessings everything that Hashem wants
to give you everything can change if
you're up on light learning Torah on and
praying and
that's when the comes to you on a
regular day you can watch movies on
Netflix till 5 in the morning no problem
or go like this till 5:00 in the
morning. How many millions it happens to
that they're like this on their phone.
Oh my god, it's 4 in the morning.
But to stay up and learn Torah and focus
yourself under the light of Hashem, then
the comes and you fall asleep in a
second and a half.
If it's a good show on Netflix, you are
up. If it's a interesting Torah class,
everybody's like, uh,
my rabbi used to always joke that, uh,
when he was a little kid, his father was
a rabbi and he would go to his father's.
So his father was the rabbi giving over
the Torah. He would sit next to his
father and he said, "Every time I would
fall asleep. I never heard the sh I
never heard the lecture. I always fell
asleep. So he said that in a in a
different context. But then he added by
saying, I guess why now I have the
powers of putting everybody to sleep
while I teach Torah. Cuz in his classes,
everybody would be like, you know, he
would teach so deep and so clear.
Everybody would be like, you know, you
you sleep for 10 hours and you fall
asleep on the table. Because when it's
time to receive the blessing, the godly
light, the enlightenment, that's when
the yet tells you you're sleepy
and take something like you sleep,
you're falling asleep.
So now the is doing it to you in the
whole month of
he's going to put everybody to sleep.
And that's why physically the month of
Kisv are the longest night nights,
longest days, not longest nights.
Shabbat comes in the earliest
afterv. It starts coming back. The month
of Gizlav is the longest longest nights,
longest darkness. Yet wants to numb
everybody. Now it's winter. You're
starting to put your coats on. Suddenly
it's cold. You need to snuggle and
cuddle and schmegle and buggle. And see,
you can't walk out. Yeah. Now, now the
movement is like this.
You're going to be very careful not to
fall asleep.
That's what the is going to do to you.
It's going to make you fall asleep
during the month of like he does it to
you in the month of
Exactly. In the month of Aul, in the
month of Tamuz, you're like a tiger
looking at the prayer. I'm going to rip
this alul to pieces. Then comes you're
like this till you wake up at the last
day of. Oh my god, it's the last day of.
So the is going to do the exact same
thing to you now invas.
So be very very very aware. You have to
be very careful not to fall asleep
because there's a very strong energy in
the months of that will
that will numb you. You have to be very
very careful.
Now what you need to do is that's the
power of
almost any
successful attack
and the attack can be physically the
attack can be strategically the attack
can be military the attack can be
business-wise.
You are the most successful
when you come in the right momentum.
It's all about the right momentum.
You buy a piece of property, if you
bought it in a very low price because
the other person went bankrupt or you
got it in foreclosure or whatever.
That's when that's the meat. That's
where you make the money on the that's
the margin. Going back to the trade
world, buy the trade when it's already
on the top. You didn't make any money.
You came in like this where you want to
come in at the bottom that your margin
is big. And like this is with
everything. Even if you want to take it
to to the military to the army, the army
is waiting. The right strategic way is
when do you attack? When the enemy is
either unaware, not ready, caught him
with his pants down. You don't attack
when they're ready. What was the success
of the six day war? They caught them all
with their pants down. So the the how
you maneuver your your your uh how you
conduct things. It's all about the time
and the momentum
and the right way. And again I can take
it to the business world. I can take it
to anything. I'll give you another
example. I was in the army a sniper.
You don't get many chances to shoot. You
have about a split second to decide if
you're shooting or not. And if not not
okay no some situations are a little bit
different but first of all you have to
come to the decisions very very quickly
but mainly what they teach you is the
right opportunity
because if it's not the right
opportunity one millimeter one little
ounce of win you missed the guy knows
there's a sniper that's it you lost your
opportunity it's the right time like in
everything in
what is the right time to go in?
So you have to be very very very very
particular is that when now the darkness
is heavy and even the other side is
offguard when the darkness is heavy
when you know when the inmates in prison
are very active the guards are all there
you know but when all the inmates are
calm and relaxed and they're contained
and the guards you see them sitting in
their leg over legs smoking because ah
we calm them
Same thing with the when he thinks that
he calmed you down
like a little kid that thinks that the
parent thinks that they fell asleep.
When I was a little kid I had a bedtime
and then I would pretend that I go to
sleep and after like 20 minutes I would
sneak out of the room like this and
sneak into the kitchen, take cookies or
whatever, go to my sister's room.
Why? Because I knew my parents, it's
already the end of the day. They put us
to sleep. They're not looking if I'm up
or not. Coast is clear. The guards are
tired themselves, too.
That's when you make the move. So inklv,
you can use the sleep to your benefit.
The same way that the guards are now at
much less looking at at you. Same with
you. He already put you down. He already
crushed you. He already not in a good
place.
So you have to use that to your benefit.
You have to take the the opportunity
that when do you want the awakening to
come? When the time is the time of
sleeping. That's when you want to wake
up.
That's why
at the end at the end of how do we
finish our process? By lighting candles.
You have now 25 days to do a certain
process. And then in Kanuka we go to the
next level and the significance of
lighting the candles. That's when you
light already the darkness. But you are
going to have to go through 25 days. Now
that are a little bit dangerous. The
energy here is very numbing. You have to
be very focused and target and
understand that when do you come to
attack? When it's dark.
You know there's a stupid joke that will
shed light of what I'm saying that many
years ago. It's a joke because something
like this can never happen. Of course,
but many years ago they
collected all the best brains of all the
world
trying to figure out how can we land and
conquer the moon.
Then
they of course came up with all the
inventions and you know the story. So
then they said, "Okay, how can we do
that to the sun?
Can we land on the sun? I mean, we
landed on the moon.
Uh, but can we land on the sun? So, they
brought the Russian scientists and said,
"We're going to build a spaceship very
protected. This going to be the f they
they said, "We're going to build
something so sophisticated. It's going
to be heat resistance. We going to
Okay." They turned to the Americans. the
Americans. No, we're going to build
special things. They're going to we're
going to tolerate the the heat and and
they all came with all these gadgets and
special things. How are they going to be
able to conquer and land on the sun?
Then they came to the Israelis. They
said, "Oh, Israelis are pretty good at
all sorts of things. Let's ask the
Israelis what are we going to do?" So
they came to the Israelis and told them,
"If you would need to conquer the sun,
how would you do that? Would you build
spaceships? Would you build rockets?"
They said, "No, we would just come at
night.
You attack when it's dark. You don't
attack when the the the light is burning
in front of you." No, it's of course
it's a stupid joke, but common sense.
You need to come to the sun, then come
at night when there's still sun.
You need to to to tackle something. Come
like that. Now it's a state of darkness.
Then wake up when you when it's dark.
You have to take advantage of the month
of
to take in Hebrew it's calledot
is to receive powers. Remember what I
told you. You're going to have to now
give in. You're going to have to give
full power of yourself for Hashem to
give you his power. It's going to be
some trade here.
And the more you're going to trade, the
more you're going to do, the better
you're going to make. I will recommend
to you one thing, but if you want to do
20 things, the more the better. But
you're going to have to completely give
in to Hashem something 100%. All your
power. Other than that, you're sitting
here for two hours wasting your time
because I started the class by telling
you, you're looking, you need a miracle,
right? I need a miracle. I need a few
miracles. I mean, all my life is a
miracle. It's one big miracle.
And I'm not talking about, yeah, I woke
up in the morning, it's a miracle. Well,
I'm very happy that you're grateful to
Hashem. That's the of course it's a
miracle. I'm talking about that our life
is operating on miracles. My life is
completely operating on miracles. Now,
nothing here is under the rules of of
the world.
Why do I need that? I want the closeness
to Hashem. I want to see miracles in my
life. But I need to do some action. to
do the action like I told you, you have
to do something 100%. But in the time of
that's when you can receive powers to do
whatever you need to do to battle the
darkness in your life.
And
Hashem wants you to go down to the
darkness. That's the concept of the
month of And that's why you are dealing
with challenges in your life because
that's the darkness in your life. And he
wants you to light up the candle in the
dark.
Hashem takes you to a place of darkness.
A place of darkness. I will explain it.
You can take one person to a financial
situation. Can't make money. Got lost
his job, lost a business. That's his
darkness right now. Another person lost
a loved one, horrible divorce. I mean,
the sickness. We're all dealing with
darkness all day long. Darkness is the
negative things in my life. And it can
come from within, it can come from
without.
But the only way to deal with darkness
is with light. There's no other way. You
can't deal with darkness in any other
way. So that means that Hashem wants you
to be the one who lights up the
darkness. How are you going to light up
the darkness if you're in a state of
light? So you have to go into the
darkness
and you going to light up the darkness.
So puts you in different places because
he wants you to light up the situation.
That's why, by the way, we're talking
now so you can hear it now. And you have
25 days to prepare for Kanuka because
Kanuka is a very powerful holiday. It's
not a stomach holiday that we eat the
donuts and the the dreaduals. It's way
beyond that. It's a easiest holiday to
observe, but one of the most powerful
holidays that you can receive so much
spiritually to your nishama to yourself.
So is about finding the light in the
darkness.
So you're going to prepare yourself now
for 25 days that in any situation of
darkness, you're going to know how to
find the light.
Hostages sat in in tunnels in darkness
and were able to find the light. And
many situations, people were in
darkness, but they were able to find the
light in the darkness
and light up the darkness with a little
bit of light. You don't need much. You
don't need a lot of light. A little bit
of light. You want the darkness. So,
Hashem puts you in a place in your world
right now in your life. Let's now target
and focus on something negative in your
life. And again, for the ones who are
not on my at the same page with me,
problems with your livelihood that are
driving you crazy, bank is driving you
crazy, credit cards, debts, all day
long, you you're about to explode.
Option number one. Option number two,
some type of disease or sickness and
you're battling hospitals, doctor's
pain. Option number two, losing a loved
one. Option number three, I have 500
options. Everybody's dealing with
something right now. One person is
dealing with the kids. can't educate the
kids. Kids are rebellious. Kids are
sick. Hash shalom, car accidents,
diseases. I mean, people are dealing all
day long with things. And even if they
don't share it with you, they share it
with me. They they might not share it
with you. Your your neighbor might not
share with you right now what they're
going in internally. You're going
through a disaster. You come and tell it
to every person around you. No, you tell
it to some close people. Sometimes you
talk to a person, they look fine, they
smile, you don't even know what hole
they have in their heart when they're
talking to you or what's going on in
their mind or what disaster,
you know, you don't know what that
person is going through.
So Hashem puts you in a place of
darkness, not for you to whine,
not for you to complain,
not for you to lose your hope or lose
your faith or turn away from Hashem.
He wants you to rise. He wants you to
rise from the darkness.
So he puts you in the darkness. You just
need to show a little bit of light.
That's when you tell Hashem the darkness
is way too dark but I will do whatever I
can the best that I can and the rest is
you Hashem.
So Kisv is a very par very
aspicious time in one way. Yeah, it's a
it's a trap. You can fall into that
darkness like to anything that you are
addicted in this world whether it's
food, your phone, gambling, porn, I
don't know what everybody's addicted to
something. Very few people don't have no
addictions. And the addictions can be
from heroin, cocaine, gambling to
something small, chocolate, cigarettes,
going like this on your phone. Most
people are addicted to the phone.
Then if you don't think you're addicted,
give me the phone for 3 days. Let's see
how you going to manage with that. Most
people are addicted to their phone. And
and the addictions can be little things.
And again, a lot of people don't like
the word addictions, but whatever. If
you can't go without something, some
people are addicted to coffee. If you
can't go with that specific thing more
than a day or two days or a week or then
you're addicted to it.
I told you when I became observant, I
was addicted to anything that existed in
the universe.
And I h I understood that if I want to
serve Hashem, I cannot be addicted to
anything because I have to be addicted
to Hashem.
I cannot observe Shabbat and think of a
cigarette because I'm not thinking of
Hashem. So I can't have anything that
I'm depending on. Besides, how am I
going to serve Hashem if I'm depending
on something physical? I can't.
So you have to understand where are we
going to and what you are required what
you can do and what would be the result
and I told you
you are here to fight the darkness
that's your job so every challenge you
have in your life every difficulty
you're fighting darkness you might not
understand what you're fighting you
might fail sin do things that you didn't
want to do and you don't understand
you're fighting darkness because
whatever caused you to do it is
darkness. Now you want to take that
opportunity and take the powers of that
you can fight the darkness all year
round and be successful and then you
rise up
that's what you can re reach on the
month of
so I told you two things that are very
very important first of all I told you
that according to the zerosv
is like yum kipur
just without the fasting so now you're
in yamipo
I'm I I I I I know that I'm happy when
yon kipur comes. I'm like relieved. Oh,
finally I can get rid of some of my sins
for free.
So you have a yonipun now means you can
do chuva. Say hashem, whatever I
promised and never did, I'm erasing. I'm
going to do new promises now that I'm
going to do. And you do chuva. And doing
chuva is you look into your past. What
did you do wrong? And saying, okay, I
need to correct this, this, this, and
this. And if it's too big for you to do
20 things at the same time, then you do
one at a time or do it successfully. But
you have to initiate, you have to make a
change. And that's the power of so
according to the today's your so you
have now a whole month to start fresh.
Imagine now you're getting a fresh
start. No, everything's clean. Just
start. But this time do it right. This
time you take one aspect in your life
and you're saying, "Hashem, like I told
you,
don't do it with your entire life cuz
that's very difficult to change your
life completely." Choose one, three, 10
things in your life that you want to get
rid of cuz they're not good. Either a
sin that you're doing or as a bad habit
or either a mitzvah that you're not
doing and you really want to do. Choose
something. Start with one. Don't don't
don't jump over your your height unless
you feel confident in yourself. But
choose one thing that you know that
you're not doing well. I'm talking about
in the world of the Torah, not your
cooking.
Something in the world of the Torah, you
don't pray enough. You don't pray at
all. You don't give charity. You don't
learn Torah. You I don't know what.
Whatever you don't do, you choose.
And it's something that you know that
Hashem wants you to do. And how do you
know that Hashem wants you to do it?
because you have the most resistance in
that specific thing.
Whatever comes easy to you when it comes
to serving Hashem, it means that you
were able to do the tikun, the
rectification of it in a previous
gilgul, in a previous incarnation. So
now it's not hard for you. Some men wake
up 4:00 in the morning, they love
putting fill in. It's the first thing
they do means that they already did the
put fill in a different incarnation.
On the other hand, there are men who put
Seline on five minutes before sunset and
it's the biggest challenge for them to
go and pray. I mean that's what they
need to focus on. So whatever comes easy
to you obviously you already did the
continue doing it. Some people for them
to give charity is the the easiest thing
possible. Some people they can be rich
from here till yin-yang they can't even
give you a dollar.
And it's like this with everything.
So you you just need to to to to apply
you just need to make that change. You
need to take that one thing that you
know that you're failing at that it's
hard for you. And then I'm talking only
in the world of the Torah. I'm not
talking about you getting in shape and
working out right now. That that that
resolution is keep for another time. I'm
talking about your connection to Hashem,
your service to Hashem, your your
connection to the Torah. you know,
you're missing a whole list of things.
So, if you're very very non-observant,
very good. So, you have where to start.
If you're fully observant for the last
20, 30, 40 years or your entire life,
you're really on the top of the scale.
No,
there's one thing that you for sure know
that Hashem wants you to do. And you
know how you recognize that? Because
it's the thing you the most don't want
to do. The thing that you're the most
not comfortable with. Some people can
host people in their house and I'm the
one to testify for that. I was now two
months in America. I slept in people's
houses.
Some per people, they can have a mansion
with 16 rooms. You put one guest in the
room, the whole house is is disoriented
or the person is jumping out of their
skin. I lived in people's houses with
seven kids and
meals all day to come and eat. I'm sorry
for the mess. Ah, forget about it.
It's called that I open my house to a
guest. Some people have a whole family
in their living room. They don't care.
They love it. They love the guest. I
stayed in by my my friend's place in
Florida. I never seen such. You never
seen such a thing.
But on the other hand, some people
stayed there for more than 3 hours.
So you can recognize very easy was what
what Hashem wants from you. It's the
thing that you hate the most.
The thing that you the most don't want
to do. That's it.
Take one. That's why I said take one. A
hard one. Not not 10 easy.
But choose something that you promise to
Hashem. You know I know I know you want
me to do that. I'm going to give the top
of the top of the most that I can for
it.
That's my deal with Yoshm.
Whether it's to I can't give charity,
I'll start giving charity every day. Or
I can't put bring myself to pray, I'll
pray every day. Or I gossip all day
long, so I'm going to stop gossiping.
Doesn't matter what it is. Whatever you
think, whatever your goal, whatever you
think that's where you're stuck. You
know how many people I heard that
telling me I'm observing 20 years, 30
years, I reached to a certain level and
now I'm stuck. I can't I I can't go up
past that level. I feel that I'm in the
same place. Then uh give in. Do
something. make an effort.
So a great rabbi called Palaji says I
said that many times I I I taught that
he says that if you take on yourself and
you do it that you don't complain from
till last candle of Kanuka the beginning
of
if you don't complain at all about
anything in your life and on the
contrary just thank Hashem and praise
Praise Hashem for everything, the good
and the bad and the evil.
Was it Clint Eastwood? Who was it? Good
guy, evil. Did I get it right?
If you don't complain the entire month
and only thank Hashem and praise Hashem
and see the greatness that Hashem does
with you,
guarantees to you that you're going to
see a miracle in your life, something
that you need. Now, I can testify that I
I I it works.
And I know many people they did that and
it worked too.
Now a lot of you saying I never
complain.
You do.
And if you don't, you win maybe that one
out of 500 million. Everybody complains.
The question is who do you complain and
what do you complain about? But you
complain all day long. my wife, my boss,
my this, the government, Donald Trump,
BB, the Israelis, the Palestinian. All
day long, everybody's complaining. Now,
forget about all that junk in your own
life. You complain all the time. The kid
is not listening to me. My husband is
not listening to me. My wife is throwing
things on the floor. You all, they don't
complain. You don't thank Hashem. Now,
listen. When I'm telling you that,
you're like, I don't complain much.
Focus on yourself.
put this in the front vision in front of
your eyes that I can't complain. And
every time that you're about to
complain, oh, stop yourself. Be like,
I'm sorry, Hashem. I really didn't mean
to complain about the fact that I'm in
debt of $150,000, but thank you so much.
I love my debt. That's the way to do it.
And I was exaggerating, of course. But
you are about to complain about a
certain situation. Don't don't complain.
Don't say, "Hashem, why?" Right away.
Thank you to Thank Hashem all day long.
All day long you eat. Thank you for the
Wow, is I can't believe we're so lucky
we have food. Other people don't have
food. Thank Hashem. Praise Hashem.
Acknowledge what Hashem does for you.
And don't complain about anything. Not
about your husband, not about your
financial situation, not about the fact
that you don't have a husband. Not about
your neighbor, not about the ex, not
about the dog, and not about anything.
Don't complain about nothing. anything
bad annoying
that doesn't work out in your life that
normally you would have feelings of
stop take a deep breath and look for the
good in it and thank Hashem for that and
if I could tell you how many times in my
life a situation occurred that the
natural reaction should be anger
frustration disappointment
I stopped took my own advice
took a few deep breaths looked for what
the positive thing that I can come take
from that because for me that was the
momentum means I can grab something
you know that the Talmud says that if a
person is about to burst in anger and
he's holding himself from losing his
temper
in that moment
70 years of sins were removed from his
resume
what Shuva person didn't do. If you see
a person that was humiliated and and
doesn't say anything, go and take a
blessing from that person.
So that's what I'm telling you.
Sometimes it's you stop yourself. Think
just today was a situation and I told my
wife in that situation 30 years ago the
reaction in that specific situation
would be attempted murder.
Not that I need the feedback but I told
myself I came a long way. 30 years ago
in the in the confrontation that I had
today would be ended in extreme
violence.
It's about knowing how to stop yourself
before you do the mistake.
But more than that, to see very quickly,
and if you can't do it quickly, take
your time. Is where is Hashem in here?
When a disaster happens in my life, I
don't see Hashem in there. So now look
for Hashem in there. Why did Hashem
brought me to the hospital? Why did
Hashem brought me to the police? Why did
Hashem brought me to the court? Why did
Hashem brineer
Look at the message.
See what Hashem wants you to do. Don't
whine, complain, give up, lose hope,
curse.
Stop and say, "Whoop."
Do it every day of your life. But now
you can say, "Well,
no, no, no. I'm not going to fall asleep
now when I'm under attack. Hashem
brought me to your situation. Let me
psychoanalyze what's going on here. And
what does Hashem wants from me?" And
maybe Hashem just wants for me to to do
something good or just to add something.
You know how many situations in my life
I came to a place that was seemingly
very negative, waited two, three days,
two, three weeks or whatever amount of
times I needed to wait and clearly saw
why Hashem took me there and how
something good came out of the worst
place ever.
numerous if not dozens or hundreds of
times I saw with my own my own eyes my
own experience how sometimes the silence
the moving back be quiet not everything
is what you think wait don't be judge
judgmental don't be angry at Hashem wait
it out the bad might do good and when
you're doing it with full trust in
Hashem you turn the bad into good
something good will come out of that
how many times I was dragged to
something negative and that's where I
met the person that could help me or
solve my problem. You know how many
times I was in a bind and I went here
negative went here door slammed in my
face went here no I can't help you and
then somebody was nagging calling I need
to speak to the rabbi and I'm like I'm
busy I'm busy I'm busy and finally when
I picked up the call to that person that
was the person that had the solution
if I I can't even tell you how many
times that the solution was here but I
was moving it away no I'll deal with it
You want to get to a point that you're
winning the darkness in your life with
just a little bit of light.
No, Hashem knows you can't do too much
little.
So to conclude
today, you are the lucky ones who are
hearing it now. So are you. You have
time. On Roshesh is a yonipur. Yum
kipuru is to reset tomorrow. You won't
be able to do it. I'm sorry. You can't
do it. You can't do reset. Not the great
reset, but the you can't reset after the
time. So you you missed Yonipo, you
missed it, my friend. So today, now till
Shabbat, it's like Yomipo. You can do
chuvine. When I'm saying reset is you're
clearing everything. You're saying,
"Hashem, remove everything. Delete the
trash. Empty the trash. I'm resetting
everything to zero. Now I'm starting
back again.
Now you're smarter. Take one aspect in
your life." My recommendation, I would
take three. One spiritually that you're
saying, "I'm going to do the best that I
can in that aspect, whether it's prayer,
charity, learning Torah, refraining from
gossiping, cheating, whatever." One
thing, choose and give it your give it
your best that this is
that you're not allowed to do it. Put
yourself to death. One first thing, then
do the second thing in your health. One
thing. Now, if you're like a health
freak or you're already healthy and
you're already like on top of your game,
this is not for you. But if you don't
think that you're there, one thing a day
that you you're saying that's the dose
that I cannot miss a day. Whether it's a
5 minute workout, whether it's 10
minutes yoga, whether it's a certain
dish that you stop eating, white flour,
white sugar, whatever junk, one thing
that you change in your healthwise, in
your diet, in how you look at things.
And the third is in your life, in your
what I like calling the yidot.
Whether it's jealousy, anger,
depression, whatever one one mid I work
on. So you have three aspects that
you're going to put your best in. One of
them is a physical mitzvah or mitzvah
can be spiritual but one of them is a
mitzvah or a sin. Other one is in your
phys physical health and another one is
in your surrounding your mid one thing.
If you need examples, I told you when it
comes to a mitzvah, one thing that you
don't do or one thing that you're doing
a sin and you want to stop. That's what
you focus on in your health. I told you
one aspect in your diet, one thing move
out or something that you put back here.
I would do it both ways. One thing that
I stop and one thing that I start
years ago, okay, I made a switch. No
more white flour, no more white sugar.
Okay, was hard in the beginning, but
that's one thing. Then you move to
another thing.
And then in your midot
if you are impatient I'll give you one
example. I can only give you examples on
myself. I I'm Mr. Angry at least was. So
it's very very hard not to get angry at
your kids. And parents get angry at
their kids.
But my kids are the ones who actually
taught me to control my anger because
you can't punch your kid.
So So you have to learn how to control
yourself.
So in early days of my fatherhood, I
sometimes couldn't hold my anger and I
would scream like probably like 99.9%
of the fathers and mothers. I would
scream. The problem with me is when I
scream it's not like a little scream.
When I scream,
my daughter tells me that up until today
she's traumatized. She's like, I hear
you scream. It's like it's like
penetrating into the soul. It's like a
scream of like I'm going to destroy the
world.
So I
first of all I'm not an idiot. I know I
know my faults.
And I had a habit. We still have it.
Every Shabbat mo Shabbat we would sit
with all my kids. We would do a me mala
and you know that you meal you want
something special like not like pizza
what everybody does. You want me malka
to be the best dish you like the most.
The the best dish you like. That's the
meala.
And uh and what we would do every week
in Mel Valka, we would ask the kids to
each one say in their order, all the
things that bother them in the house
that I do, that he does, that she does,
that the teacher does, everybody opens
up and says what bothers them. And no
argument and no cursing or no nothing.
But it would be that one child will say,
"I don't like it when he plays with my
toys." And then the other child will
say, "I don't like it when you do this."
very open conversation. But I would
listen what bothers every each and every
one of them. And when it got to a point
a lot of the kids in many different
times says it bothers them when I raise
my voice when I scream loud and I was
very affected and touched. I was like my
little kid is now not in a good place
cuz I can't control my emotions or
anger. Oh no, this has to stop. A child
doesn't need to hear me screaming
because I had a bad day or I'm neurotic
about some stupid thing and I lose my
temper. The child doesn't need to suffer
from that. So when I'm talking about
working on your midot, not the health
and not the mitzvot is something small
like that. That was one of the things
that I was like, okay, I'm never
screaming at my kids ever. In the
beginning was hard not to raise your
voice as your kid, but you can get the
the point across without screaming. By
the way, now it's not that I'm the world
champion of not screaming, but it went
down from a th00and to two.
They my kids still know that there are
going to be certain buttons that I'm
going to scream, but the control went
down. And that's what I'm talking about
in regards to tikunid. Something that
you know that is wrong, that you need to
refine, that it's one of your worst
habits, and you know that it's putting
other people in an uncomfortable place.
So you have three things that you want
to give it the most. Then you can do a
deal with Hashem. Now let me give you a
little tip. You don't do the deal
tonight. You first give it your most and
then you come to Hashem with results.
And I'm talking only from experience. I
needed the ocean to open for me many
times in my life. Not only the miracle
to get out of jail. I needed some
serious miracles in my life. You all
remember five years ago I I was this
close to
this close to die.
So I needed in my life many miracles
and I can testify that when you do your
part you have you have what to claim
with
then you come to Hashem and says I gave
it the best and you can't fool Hashem.
Hem knows exactly what you're thinking
what you he knows everything.
So you can't fool you can't lie.
My kid got got in trouble now in school.
I told him some a certain thing that I
want him to do and achieve and there was
a the deal here. If you achieve it then
I'll give you whatever that thing
specific thing that you wanted. So he
tried to negotiate to get it before he
said no
first you change and prove yourself then
you get the reward then you get my
support. So don't do a deal with Hashem
tonight cuz you might fail. You don't
know your abilities.
But you can definitely say to Hashem,
"Tonight I'm doing chuva and I want to
start a new page and these specific
things are the ones that are my target
and I'm going to do my best and let's
talk in a month and I can give you
already the tip. What will make you
successful is exactly what
says don't complain about anything. I
know it looks to you minor. I know it
looks to you like you don't complain.
Put it in the front of your mind. Write
it on a piece of paper. Put it on your
phone as a screen saver, a reminder
every half an hour. Don't complain.
Don't complain. Don't complain. And then
you know what you're going to see? Every
20 minutes something else is going to
come to bother you. And you're going to
be about to complaining. You're like,
"Ah, now I know what he meant." And
you'll stop and then you'll catch
yourself over and over. And if you
failed once or twice or 10 times, don't
stop. Don't think, "Oh, I failed it. The
whole thing is ruined." Just don't
complain till the last day of
and after that hopefully you would learn
from that to never complain but
specifically and praising and thanking
Hashem and you will see a miracle in
your life and you will rise to the level
that Hashem wants you to go to and
Hashem when he rises you to levels you
don't even know that you can reach these
levels that's how high Hashem can rise
you think you can re reach here says I
can take you there.
And it comes in anything. It comes in
your business. It comes in your
spiritual growth in learning Torah. When
I started learning Torah, I'm telling
you,
maybe three years, could be even more
that I would sit in the Torah classes
and don't understand one thing.
You know the frustration?
Now I hold myself as an intell
intelligent individual.
How can I don't understand that? You
know it took me maybe three years to
understand the Talmud. I never I didn't
understand one word. I understood the
words the language.
Not nothing of the debates nothing.
And I would see other people learning
wow whoa whoa whoa. And I'm like I don't
understand nothing. I don't understand
arguments.
And more than that, I would sit in
classes, come home, not remember one
thing. You know how embarrassing? I
would come home, my wife would work so I
could learn Torah. I would come home for
dinner. She would tell me, tell teach me
something. I didn't know what to do. I
don't know. And I would come with
excuses. No, it's too deep. It's too
long. I'll tell you on Shabbat. And I
didn't understand. How can I not
understand the Torah?
Everything else I understand. I can't
understand the Tua. I I read something I
don't remember it. I would try to
prepare to for Shabbat. Nothing.
Couldn't understand. I understand when
the rabbi explains it by myself.
Nothing.
First of all, that's very normal because
the Torah is divine. If you're not
connected to the divine, you will never
understand the Torah.
But the thing is that I thought, okay, I
maybe one day I never give. And it's
it's not that I was in a place I'll give
up. I heard too many stories about many
others. So I wasn't in a place of like
I'll give up. I was in a place of like I
don't understand why I don't understand.
It's at some point already got me to a
place of frustration. I'm like why
everybody gets in? I don't. You know
those pictures that you look and you see
like a spaceship and then you look and
you don't see nothing. I'm the one who
never sees anything and everybody's
like, "Oh yeah, yeah, oh, I see it.
Never in those pictures have I seen
anything." So I'm sitting in a everybody
understands what the rabbi is talking
about and I'm like
I I I I I can you say again
because the Torah is divine. I needed to
break so many clipots
for three years even more that the Torah
can start penetrating.
Now you have to understand three years
into my chuva I was already with a beard
going to yeshiva every day praying the
whole nine yards and like a dumb potato
I can't understand what the rabbi is
saying
the comfort that I had is at least the
advice that I got from my rabbi at the
time says don't worry it's totally
natural 29 years you poisoned your mind
with whatever this world can cater to
you and poisoned your body with uncor
food and poison your body with sins what
do you think you're just going come to
the Torah and crack the code.
But why am I saying that? That
eventually after about three years, I
started to get it. the gates of
knowledge and wisdom open and the Torah
started making sense and I started
remembering everything and then it
started I just was consuming and the
first time that I realized how much
Torah I was consuming for about seven
years is I went to a lecture about my
near-death experience and then after the
lecture was questions and answers and
people were shooting at me questions and
I was shooting answers like that and I
came home I was like wow Oh, I can't
believe it was like a wax off, wax on
situation
that I've been doing wax on and wax off
for five, seven years. And then you know
what wax on, wax off is? All the little
kids are like, "Is that an app?" No,
it's karate kid, Daniel Daruso or
Laruso, whatever his name is and Mr.
Miyagi teaching him to wax on and wax
off. So he was waxing on 500 times and
then he came to punch him. So he waxed
off and he moved the hand. Same idea.
So suddenly the Torah was shooting
information.
But why am I saying all this? Because I
thought, okay, good. Now I understand
the Torah. I understand. I understand. I
remember. I can teach. Everything is
good. And I thought that's where I'm
going to be. And after a certain sit
period of time and after a certain few
situations that I had to go through,
it's like Hashem gave me a bonus, took
me in an elevation a thousand degrees
higher to a point that I can't believe
sometimes what I learn, I understand, I
read, I that's only Hashem. It's not
that I'm smart. Hashem decides how much
Torah he will give it to you. But you
know why he decides to give you a lot of
Torah? because you break yourself
and you go through the whatever process
I had to go through to come to the point
that then the Torah you are elevated
yourself to the Torah you get much more
of it. I look at any great scholar or
any leader in our our faith and see to
what extent they reach to how much
troubles they had to go to
whether it's mosher raenu yadik David
there's not one of our greatest of all
even
13 years had to hide in the cave
was wanted and where did he get all his
spiritual presence in the cave
Mosher Rabenu, I gave you a class last Z
about Mosher Rabenu. I gave you the
entire history. He was in jail for 10
years. And you know who jailed him? It
his father-in-law jailed him. 10 years
he was in jail.
It says that there was so deep in the
dungeon that there was like a window, a
little window. He had a little bit of
light where they would throw food to
him. Marshall Rabeno
was in prison for 10 years. Not to talk
about that he was also a king, he was
this, he was that. All of our great
leaders always went through disasters
and did they lose their faith? No.
That's when they became stronger. Now
when you become to that place and you
humble yourself in front of Hashem and
you move back and you shut up and you do
your part, Hashem elevates you to levels
you don't you won't understand to what
levels he takes you.
The first book, the first Torah that I
had with me when I was became observant
was the Ramban. I said that 500 times.
The letter of it's the only Torah I knew
in the first year and I used to read it
every day in jail. I didn't have
anything. I used to chant the Ramban.
That's the only thing I knew. So I I I I
besides that I
adore the I I am like that's the follow
the you'll be successful. That's what I
do. It's very hard by the way. But
there's a one sentence that is stuck in
my brain from the day that I became
observant and started reading it.
Humble yourself. You put yourself down
and Hashem is going to elevate you.
That's it. You want to be good. You want
to be successful. You want to reach to
your goals. It takes one action. Humble
yourself. Hashem is going to make you
successful much more than what you
think. And I can testify that in my
spiritual growth, in business, in
finance, in relation, everything. Every
time that I practice what I just told
you, I see great success in what I'm
trying to achieve, whether it's my
spiritual knowledge, spiritual closeness
to Hashem. So really, that's what it
takes. I think there's even a song like
that. No, take one step here, then I
take step that. How's that song go? So
all I'm telling you, you take you need
to take one step back. You know the
hokeyp poke. Know one step there and one
step here. No. So I'm not telling you to
do the hokeyp pokei. I'm just telling
you take one step back.
in order for you to do five steps
forward.
And that step back is not you taking a
physical step back. It starts with the
with the silence that I told you. And
that comes together with what says stop
complaining. Stop complaining. Sh.
Second thing, move back. I told you you
move back. You're making space. Whether
you move back to your wife, to your
kids, to Hashem, to yourself, to your
ego, move back.
And then you you go full force what
wants you to do and you do your part
without complaining and it's hard and it
hurts and it's long but you have to do
your part. Now normally you have to do
everything what I have told you. I'm
telling you to do one but start with one
and tomorrow it will be two and in a
year it will be five. But that's how you
get close to Hashem. That's how you win
the darkness in your life. Why do you
think Hashem puts darkness in your life?
to bother you, to annoy you. You think a
thing Hashem wants to revenge because
you didn't do something, now he's
revenging. The only reason why Hashem
puts darkness in your life is for you to
overcome the darkness and to win the
darkness with your light. That's it. So,
if you're a fool and you fall asleep in
the darkness and the darkness won over
and now you're going to be in more
darkness and more complaining.
But Hashem says, "No, just light up a
little bit of light. That's it.
A little bit of light, you'll win the
darkness." And that little light is all
that you can give in whatever you choose
to do it. You give it your best. But
really give it your best. Don't don't
pretend. And if you don't, then don't
complain later.
So you have a whole month, a whole month
that this energy is accessible to you.
A, you can achieve a lot in this month.
B, it will give you the power to do that
for the rest of the year. So really, I'm
not telling you to do much by the way.
Just telling you for the next month,
don't complain. And hopefully from
there, take it on. Instead of
complaining every time you want to
complain, praise Hashem. And this can
also be if you need more examples,
sometimes you bump your leg into the
corner of the bed and you ah or you say
some bad word. Don't say that bad word.
That's the complaining part. Just say,
There's a reason why you got but now
bang now
no complaining it's not so hard and then
taking what I told you to increase
that's it that's it do your do your part
you'll see changes in your life now once
you see success
then all the rest will be easy to do
like I told you jumping out of an
airplane for the first time once you see
everything went cool and okay then the
next time will be
It took it one person to jump into the
water then everybody jumped jump once
but you need to do this jump
take advantage of
uh there's a certain
order of tim that we onesh
um I mentioned in the previous videos
that on the website will be the page
with the prayers we're going to post it
very soon the prayers should be recited
preferably on Shabbat that is the end at
the end at the end of
uh
you do whatever you can I do the prayers
as close as possible to Shabbat. Uh I go
after we're done now I'm going to go to
Meon later and pray there and learn
Torah there and right before Shabbat I
go to the grave of and do the prayer
over there. It's it's good for me
because it's very close 10 minutes back
home. But you want to do the prayers as
close as possible to Shabbat. And the
reason why you want to apply that, I'll
tell you that very briefly. I said that
in the in the video in the morning
is the name of the month. When you write
it, it's
but when you pronounce it, it's lev
kiss is not a kiss. Kiss is a pocket.
You put your money in your pocket and
lev is a heart. Your emotions, your
feelings, your love, which is to our
level my relationships with my wife,
with my kids, with my parents.
if I don't have relationships. So say
that your prayers on
the month of especially onesh
you can both dig into the kiss and the
live. So prayers that we recite onesh
are directly for your paras for your
livelihood. I know everybody needs a few
more bucks in their pocket and also for
your love for your heart. So it's a very
aspicious time. I'm going to share later
not now a very special remedy about
finding your other half. But for ones
who need to find their other half
veryious time to do that to pray for
that or if you already are in a
relationship is to better your
relationship and have a normal one and
not disaster of a schlomite and the
relationship can be with your kids your
friends your parents and so forth. So,
it's two things that you need to focus
on. And that's the power of that's why
I've been saying that in the last couple
days. Don't don't just brush that day
off. Take the time.
You want to do a suda a meal that you
wash for bread tomorrow because tomorrow
it's too close to Shabbat. Unless you do
it in the morning, but the morning is
not really considered a festive meal.
Best to do that festive meal in the
night. But if you didn't then do in the
morning but you want to do a festive
meal h not pizza something a little bit
better than pizza something a little bit
more upgraded that you wash your hands
you say so you can add the yav
you want to do all all that can cater if
you would understand the power you
wouldn't sleep for one second we add
additions in our prayers hal musaf just
do the roesh you don't know then ask
your local rabbi you do know then do it.
Maybe that's the thing you need to start
doing is to celebrate the right way. So
go and and and do a festive meal, do the
prayers, give charity. Very important to
everything that I just said that you
give charity. And a lot of thing a lot
of people think that when they give
charity, they do you a favor. People
give me to my organization charity. They
think they do me a favor like as if I'm
taking out the money and you're not
doing me a favor.
You're doing yourself a favor.
When you give out charity, whoever you
gave it to, you doing you, he's doing
you a favor,
the receiver is doing a favor and
helping the giver. Why? Because you have
to give from yourself. The form of
charity, the idea of charity that you
give from yourself
from your hardearned money that you can
buy yourself nice clothes, good food, a
vacation, and you give your hard-earned
money to somebody else that in your mind
doesn't deserve it.
Or maybe you kind and they do deserve
it. But the giving out the motion,
that's what cleans the vessel. That's
what cleans all the dirt. That's why I
always say you go to pray before
prayers, you give some money. It's
called damim. Dam is blood. In the
talmud, money is called blood. Because
if you take somebody's money, it's like
you murder them, shedding blood. But on
the other hand, when you give out money,
you know, in the olden days, they used
to do like the cupping
that they put the cups on the back. But
I saw that in our generation, they do it
a little bit different. In the olden
days, they and they still do it. Some
people know how to do it. Before you
poop the cup, you cut a very small part
and in a specific place and all the
dirty blood comes out. The cups are full
of dirty blood. There's one Arab that I
know that does that. I go once a year.
He's a professional. They're like
they're proud. It's their tribe going
generations in their tribe. They know
how to do it. It's specific places in
specific veins and how to do it. You sit
there for 45 minutes, the cups are full
of blood at the end, but disgusting
blood. You never see all the toxins come
out. All the little jifa comes out.
Same thing.
I'm sorry I'm giving some weird examples
today.
But again, take advantage of Roshesh.
It's a such a a a powerful night, the
month of Gizv. There are very special
things coming down the line and great
great things
today. Just focus on Kesh. Focus on
everything that I told you. I know this
one is live. It's recorded. This is
recorded too. Share it. It's recorded.
It's going to go also on YouTube. Listen
to it a few times even if throughout the
month of but the point is that you have
to apply. If you don't apply then you're
wasting your time. And if you apply
No such a thing that you're going to put
effort into something and nothing's
going to come out of that. And you owe
it to Hashem and you owe it to yourself.
And really when you come in to thinking
about it,
everybody wants to better their life. I
don't know anyone. Nobody ever came to
me and told me, "Rabbi, life is so good.
Please can you curse me? I don't want a
blessing.
Life is too good. Curse me, please."
that I never got and I never got anyone
who came and told me thank you I have I
have everything I don't need a blessing
everybody wants a blessing you might not
relate with that but when I come to
cities to place everybody jumps on me
like as if I'm like the I don't know
what the tooth fairy rabbi give me a
blessing so everybody wants a blessing
if everybody wants a blessing it means
they need is
when I advertise that I'm going to pray.
You can submit names.
Wow. Wow. Sometimes I sit at the I sit
there for seven hours. Some how many
names I get
and she needs to get married. He needs
this is this disease and
there's what there's what to ask for
unfortunately.
Therefore, you have to give some of
yourself. You want you want some
solution, you're going to have to give
some of yourself. That's this this mean
what I told you with the cupping. Yeah.
It's like when somebody see once I took
my son, it's like aba your whole block
back is blood. It looks traumatic. I
have pictures if you want to see. But it
takes out all the toxins, all the bad
blood. You get rid of everything and now
you're good to go. Same thing here. Same
idea. Just get rid of all the junk.
So again,
um, let me summarize real quick what you
want to focus on tonight. All the rest
we'll do some more videos. You want to
focus on onesh festive meal. Pray with
you if you can. If you're next to a
minan, with a minan, hear the Torah, go
say hal. All the khes things you do want
to do. do chuva repent on this time take
on yourself the decisions okay I want to
do this I want to be better that exactly
like what I said and but follow through
understand that like as if it's your
last chance
and and again you might be the one that
I'm not talking to but like I told you
when I advertise that I'm going to pray
lists I get from people please pray for
this and this and that
So I'm fine with praying for everybody,
but it means that there's issues.
So some people might say my life is
fine. I congratulate you. But if you
feel that everything that I said
something relates to you, then you need
to do an action that changes the
situation. Cuz if you're not going to do
any action, nobody's going to do it for
you. You are in debt. You need to do an
action. Nobody's going to come with a
miracle check and get you out of debt
and stop playing the lottery. That's
what's not going to get you out of debt.
If you can't find your other half,
everything that you're doing is probably
the wrong thing.
You have to do an action. You have to do
actions, certain actions in the
spiritual world that will bring that
blessing to you. Not the websites, not
the
actions.
Anything in your life, you're lacking
something, Hashem wants you to light up
the darkness.
Which means that if you're not going to
do anything, nobody will do it for you.
You need to find your other half. Nobody
will come and run after the entire world
to look to to your your soulmate. You
want success in something. You want to
pass your exams. You think some fair is
going to come to you with the knowledge
on the day of the exam. You need to sit
and learn the material.
Anything that you want, I know you're
looking up to Hashem and praying for
that. But you have to do something.
Hashem doesn't give free presents. So
here's your opportunity to do a change
to do a complete change to says okay up
until now I wasn't happy with the
results ask yourself the question are
you happy with the results if you're
happy with the results
good night
if you're not happy with the results
then you need a change and I'm not
saying that your life is chaotic and a
disaster it can be one aspect of your
life that everything is well you
everything is under control one thing
you can control I don't believe that
there's a lot of people in this world
that everything is under control. I
don't have things under control
and not that I'm some who but I'm saying
everybody
if you had everything under control you
can die and you finished your tikun your
battles until the last breath of your
life so you can drag another month
another year another two years be in the
same place or you can say okay something
needs to be done no change I tried I
this I did nothing changed I need to do
something so here's your chance here's
your opportunity
Mystically, spiritually, emotionally, I
just told you to do and it's something
that I said to do a lot. Now take what I
said now and rinse and repeat as they
say or carbon copy, then the situation
will be much better. Like I told you, I
had to become overnight a fully
observant Jew. When my rabbi told me,
oh, you want to get out of your out of
your indictment, then you have to serve
Hashem overnight.
You have to
But I had a sword here. It's a different
situation.
But first of all, I can tell you
anything can be done if you put your
mind to it. That's why I told you focus
on one and not on 500 things. But you
have to understand that the whole idea
and the concept of the month of what you
can derive out of it is Hashem wants you
to win the darkness.
And how do you win the darkness? With a
little bit of light. If you come with a
lot of light, then of course you're a
great winner. A little bit of light is
enough. and you go a whole month with a
little bit of light, next month you'll
have the power to to increase the light.
But Hashem wants to you to win the
darkness. So he's giving you the
opportunity. Therefore, the wisdom of
don't complain. I'm giving you a check
and you're complaining. I just bought
you a brand new house and you're
complaining.
Don't be ungrateful. So the same way
that you are grateful for the good, take
all the bad, everything that will cause
you to complain and don't dare to
complain to understand that it's good.
You might not understand, but it's good.
Thank you, Hashem. I know that this
disaster is the best thing for me right
now. I don't know yet how. I will be
patient and humble to wait to see why is
this disaster the best thing. But I'm
not going to complain and I'm going to
thank you and I'm going to praise you
and dar now because I'm dealing with a
disaster. I'm going to do two more
mitzvot and read four chapters of the
and I'm just going to increase light.
That's it.
The darkness will evaporate by default.
Test it. The next big disaster you have,
even if it's a minor disaster, don't
complain. Shed light. Do what you what I
just told you. You'll see in a few days,
a few weeks, it dissolves. The solutions
come up to the surface. And for me, it's
like a day day-to-day thing. I I already
it's already I I don't get so excited
from that. Just last week, I heard a
certain situation pertaining with my
life. It turned not in the direction
that I was expecting or hoping and it
caused a chain reaction of a few
negative things. Perfect example.
Instead of being disappointed and
instead of being angry and instead of
getting upset something a big project
that we're working towards a lot of
resources are involved here. I had all
the rights in the world so to say to get
angry and I was like no no no okay it's
another another push that Hashem wants.
I consulted the right individuals. I got
my answer mystically what Hashem wants.
I understood this is not a punch to the
face. It's it's where Hashem wants me to
crack it. And you know what? Because I
didn't feed into it. Because I didn't
anything
today, in the most weirdest random way,
the solution came to me with no effort.
And I was like,
patience is worth a lot.
Not being judgmental, not saying that
word that you wanted to say, not doing
that motion, that actu is worth a lot.
I'm telling you all I understood. I
increased the light. The darkness was
was removed. It took a few days.
Solution came to me. Which means Hashem
created a big problem. I didn't get
overwhelmed by the big problem. I acted
by the rules by what I'm telling you.
Voila.
Four days pass and the solution to the
problem that I didn't create or wanted
to even deal with. The solution came.
Can you imagine how I would feel if I
would complain all these four days? Cuz
there would be a lot more to complain.
Hashem, Hashem, Hashem.
So that's what I'm telling you. Hashem
is throwing that in your face.
Relax. Wait. Don't complain. Reverse the
whole situation. You'll see how in most
of the cases the darkness disappears.
Now don't take my word and now come to
me and tell me I have a relative with a
stage four cancer and
you got to be kind of normal here. You
can't come with such a situation say I
didn't complain he died. No
use your common sense.
But but even in big things big things
will require you to do 180. I had people
come to me with they have two hours to
live or whatever and I said listen what
saved me is 180 you do the same I I'll
guarantee to you you'll be saved but I'm
telling you that's not not not so easy
to become fully observant like totally
like that you like you can say I'm a sik
I need I'm not doing any sin totally
aware of every little thing here
so to make a long story short you I have
an unbelievable opportunity for Roshesh.
If you want to submit names, uh, please
do. You can do it on the website
atm.org/kislv.
I'm going to be in later on and in
tomorrow. The prayers are going to be
advertised on the website.
And just apply what I just said. I know
it's been long. I wanted you to do it
short. Two and a half hours. It's
actually not too long. And uh I'm going
to wish you all
I actually wanted to give a few minutes
attention to the ones online. If you
want to send a quick question or a
comment or something, I'll read the
comments for you here locally. Shabbat
shalom. We'll see you all tomorrow. Take
advantage of of
uh review the information and apply. And
I'm going to post much more videos in
the next month. how to get ready for
kanuka what how when and I have a lot of
videos already online it's not that you
are in the dark but just do it just
that's the only thing I can do nobody
will do it for you nobody will come and
help you and the test and the
expectation from Hashem is that you need
to do it you do it you remove the
darkness you remove the dirt and then
you get then you get your present then
Hashem will give you the little things
that you need your pagnasa, your
success, your other half, everything.
But you need to do that and it has to be
done with mutes saying there's nothing
else but that.
