Amazing Questions About God From Hollywood (4)

[Music] we are in our little series amazing questions about God number four uh I mean there's plenty of material we can talk about there's there's uh all types of M books there's plenty of material but uh floor is open if anybody has questions we can answer them too so anybody have questions or we know everything about Tora we could just start with only suggest particular for to that respect that counted against yourself very much what what would be the cut point when it to that good question uh I mean as far as far as looks a man is not allowed to be a woman so in today's age there are many men that spend an obnoxious amount of time in front of the mirror that already by itself is not allowed when a man is more worried about his looks than his wife that's already a problem many men take care of themselves better than they take care of than their wives take care of themselves and perhaps even better than they take care of the wives so that's a problem um wife wants to go to get a pedicure manicure to take care of herself they said no no it's too expensive but him he goes tanning he goes manicure he gets this he gets that so that's already a problem it's a psychological problem and a spiritual problem also that behave like women where they do all types of eyebrows and uh things like that is not good on another hand it doesn't mean that a man needs to look like a dog he's allowed to take care of himself he's allowed to groom himself you're not allowed to look like you just came out of a cave uh because that could also turn into be we learn this it says that a man that that walks out of the house with a stain on his shirt stain simple stain in a shirt loses all why just one stain one stain that's it what's theat what's the meaning of this stains happen stains happened I actually saw somebody in B yesterday that knows a little bit to I also had a stain on on his shirt what's the problem if it's a stain that he can't fix meaning he has a stain on his shirt but he's already out he can't go back to this house his house is two hours away an hour away no problem it happens if it's a stain it's on and he doesn't have another shirt doesn't have another shirt no problem as a matter of fact it's actually K that he keeps it on because it shows people he keep Shabbat because you're not have to clean the shirt on Shabbat but if it's a stain that he's able to do something about meaning he just left he's right outside of the house but he's too lazy to go back inside who cares about the stain in the shirt he says why no share of the world to come why to such an extreme give him a a few slaps in the face say send him to jail Maybe no share of the world to come why says because if he's a that means he's going to teach something and if he teaches that's that's that's talking when you teach T it's like talking same thing no difference why wrot to says when hashem's talking but you have a stain in your shirt they're not going to listen so in essence you're causing other people not to listen to hm so it's the little things that count now on the other hand guys that take care of themselves too much where they groom and they tan and they fix and they this and that that's also looking like a little bit of woman or they shave themselves and things like that that's a little bit too much and unfortunately today in today's age a lot of young guys do it uh you know they they if anybody that usually goes to the gym usually likes to shave his body I remember when I was young uh and uh you know they give all types of excuses of why they do it I had plenty of excuses of what I did because I didn't think there was anything wrong with it but the reality is is that the closer you are to caring about this your physical self the closer you are to making a sin it leads you to sin if you care so much about your looks you're going to end up making sins because of your looks whether it's going to be with the woman you're not allowed to be with or whether it's going to be even with yourself with wasting seed or it's going to be a lot of other things with your eyes you why does anybody care about their looks really so much I mean to look respectable is fine but someone that takes care of themselves to such an extent where they want to you know they instead in front of the gel you know 20 minutes to do their hair 20 minutes do their hair make sure it's this make sure if the hair goes on the right side I'm not leaving it's a bad hair I'm not leaving I'm calling sick I'm calling sick I'm not coming in what happened the hair is to the left the jail is not working I'm suing I'm sending a complaint the gel is a it's a it's a fraud $25 gel they spend doesn't work why what happened cuz he wants everyone to look at him and a guy that's constantly looking for that type of attention there's no way in the world there's no way in the world that he's not going to sin which also leads to another it says a lot of people have a misunderstanding of the role of a woman in a house role of a woman in the house obviously is important and a lot of people forget their role they think that the role of the woman is to make babies cook clean answer to them anytime they say anything take their uh moods mood and mood and mood swings whenever it comes pretty much be a servant they could walk on and that's not it as a matter of fact the role of a woman is much simpler than that thear says if she brought you kids and she keeps you away from sin she's already fulfilling a purpose she keeps you away from sinning with wasting seed could guys unfortunately can't control themselves that's the we were created and she brings kids to the world meaning she she helps you with the po bo because the wife is not obligated with po bo she's not obligated she doesn't have she doesn't have to have kids meaning that when she brings kids to the world she's doing you a favor she say thank you if she's already doing those two things anything extra she cooks for you she helps you she send you know great things so the asked okay so why does a woman geta why because she had a few kids and uh that's it no no she get she doesn't geta for that that's her role what does she geta for she getsa for helping a husband go learn T she sends the husband to T she sends the husband to go learn she takes care of the kids to make sure that the husband goes learns to she gets for that so when guys understand that this is the role of a woman then they'll understand that anything she does for you if she makes you coffee in the morning if she makes you dinner if she says hello to you if she deals with your mood swings if she's even you know she's kind to you and so on and so forth already Instead This is above and beyond this is hasm sent me an extra special person why because she doesn't have to now on the other hand a woman that's again Shalom used to say says a bad woman a bad woman waits for her husband to ask for tea and then she makes him if he asks for tea she makes some tea that's a bad woman Evil Woman a good woman doesn't wait for him to ask why because if you're going to support him to do to to learn Torah you're going to support him to have yesu so he's focused on to you're not going to wait for him to be starving before you give him food you're GNA think okay my role I'm gonna get I'm gonna get I'm gonna make sure that my husband is constantly learning if he's thinking about him being hungry if he's thinking about him being thirsty if he's thinking about anything anything else then that means he's not thinking about to so what's my role my role is to go bring it them before he thinks about it that's a good woman so expanded answer to your question next question go so back then let go fight and then they fight and then they beat them the soldiers destroyed the the is that true that they destroy the Min no they didn't destroy the minora they they they vandalized the bet mikdash they vandalized the beta mikdash they also uh ruined the uh oil by opening it um and uh once the barrels of oil or the cans of oil were opened the Jews didn't know what they did to it they didn't know if they put something in there they didn't know anything and that's the one of the rules we learn in is that if let's say for example you have a barrel of oil a barrel of wine barrel of wine and you want to send it somewhere else you want to sell it you want to sell it somewhere else kosher wine yeah Jews make the wine everything is good you want to sell it now if by the time I got to your customer doesn't matter if it's down the street or a different city if the closing which you had to seal it if the seal was open it's not Kosher why we don't know what they did we don't know what they did maybe they opened it maybe they shook it something happened maybe it's connected to AB it's connected to and with wine we don't play so this is one of the also is a lot of su of different steps of who and what and when and so on the point is that what happened with the oil is that the were extra they were the most religious people in history a lot of people think they were just a bunch of Warriors No it's the opposite actually they weren't Warriors what they were were were were learning learn all day also so they learned they learned they learned T they learned everything all day never fought a war in their life now they fought a war they killed thousands and thousands of people and now they want to sanctify hm's name CU made a huge Miracle they just a few of them a handful of people killed tens of thousands of people doesn't make any sense obviously without a miracle so now they want to sanctify aem's name and say wait a minute look the oil that we're going to use for the manora they opened it now even though the dean the dean is there's no such thing as oil Tam there no such thing as as to mine oil there's no such thing there's no says if the go shakes the oil it's p there's no such thing it's only wine wine bread that that's something milk but no oil oil it's fine they shake it they don't shake it no problem they said wait a minute why did we fight this war in the first place for what for what do we fight we fought the War because they told us listen you can stay a Jew but just don't keep Shabbat you can stay a Jew just don't does anymore you can stay a Jew but don't do that's it you have 63 rules rules 610 now what's the big deal really cares about the extra three come on don't be too much three less says we fought this whole War for what for three rules we fought for three rules the whole war thousands and thousands of people with three rules they want to cancel so what now the whole thing was for them was the Greeks wanted to show that we're fake we're fake religious we don't really want to keep everything so we fought the whole thing to be M on all the rules here we have this is one of the things that the Greeks try to do they try to INF infiltrate the religious World by saying listen it doesn't really matter like the mitah don't really matter what are you such a on what are you so stringent on so by us using the oil we're actually proving them right we're proving them it doesn't really matter that it's not sealed even though there's no rule for it it still certifies that they're right so you know what it does matter even the oil that there's no rule for for it somebody doesn't know that and thinks the oil is treated like wine that he sees us using the oil of the it's not worth it it's it's we're not going to use we have to go find regular oil and they looked and they looked and looked until they found one barrel and because they were such Hashem made a miracle and they gave him one barrel and a one can and that can lasted for the uh eight days but it's for it's the the the how stringent they were with the law is one of the things that most people don't know most people think they were just a a few Warriors that uh you know got a miracle with a can of oil the reality of it is it's that these people were the most religious people in history the whole war was just a few laws that's it next this is calling on my name it's calling out my name staring at me oh it's one that I trom how do uh okay what exactly is it okay so let's see so huh we hear many St what's of what is I broke Shabbat I don't want to keep Shabbat I get what is the bottom line okay is the following ra explains in a few different places in and uh there a few few serious serious things about it that very NE necessary to know now I'll read it for you the retribution Beyond which there's no greater retribution meaning the worst possible punishment that there is is that the soul will be cut off and not Merit this life and it gives you a source in 1531 uh this Soul shall surely be cut off his sin will remain upon him this refers to the obliteration of the Soul which was referred to by the prophets with the following metaphoric terms the pit of Destruction so all of these are synonymous for the Nullification and destruction of the soul that can never be recovered and then he goes into more details who gets it why who when a few other details but in so many words you just got the basic from the r he says someone that gets there 36 different sins in the toat that you get cor on he says someone that makes one of these sins without doing chuva without doing chuva because everything is subject to chuva if you do chuva everything's going to be okay you don't do chuva you have a serious problem on your hands and the reason why is because the um inph says the the uh someone that's a someone that violated so it says he has death upon death and his soul is cut off from the nation so now okay let's try to rationalize here both the both the r and the five books of Moses what are we saying here what does it mean the soul is destroyed forever so first and foremost is the m Shabbat gets death penalty says Mo that's the first Mo it's the first death okay so death penalty we know from the uh went and uh played with the his flowers on Shabbat second we got Torah a week later we got Torah Mount sa everything is good Sim ma everything is great is happy right a week later a week later wants to play with his flowers a little bit he wants to water them wants to play with them wants to put them together he likes his flowers will you blame the guy it's nice flowers how do you know his flowers Wen nice it's nice flowers he's playing with his flowers say you're not allowed to do this you're not allowed to put your flowers together tie them up not do it can't do it he didn't stop they arrested him they bring to Moshe Moshe what do we do with him he says hold on a second let me ask Hashem but Moshe doesn't know the Tor Moshe was in Mount sa already 120 days what he knows he knows na KES what does he know he says they didn't know whether he gets the worst possible penalty or the second worst penalty so he goes to hm hm what does he get he says what is it he says he gets death penalty but the worst possible death penalty what's the death penalty SK stoning stoning by the way I'm not going to Define as little kidy it's very scary you have nightmares for a week but it's the worst possible thing you could possibly get so that's already death here but it says M you can't die twice how do you die twice no no first death means that it's death in this world because in those days when we had thean we had mosu there was death in this world now we don't have it anymore that's what the second death applies the second death applies means that the person loses their what does it mean to losea they arrive to Shem says okay there was G and I created Gan I created G and I showed mosu both of them I showed mosenu from the beginning of the world until the end of the world it was beautiful in Mount siai what you think he was just there hanging out doing nothing for 120 days he saw beautiful things so everything he saw ganeden he saw he saw beautiful things but then he said said I showed them also andu started crying hysterical and started shaking that's what the said started shaking hysterical says what is this place hem what is this place he says this is where I punish the so I punish them the is what I do with them over here he says so hasem says I created G but you that you didn't do chuv you made a sin of you didn't do is not an option for you you only have how long 1 says forever what's forever mean forever forever mean a thousand years you know they say life sentence is a jail someone does some type of crime in America they say you have life sentence what's life sentence 25 years in hasem hashem's language no such thing as 25 years life sentence means forever and says even after Mas comes hasm is going to close certain parts of G says that particular part doesn't end meaning someone dies that way without doing Chu their punishment never ends so now what's the third part okay so we died twice and we're suffering forever because we didn't do Chua before we died what's the third okay it still doesn't explain the soul was cut off what's the third the third one means that when someone does not is is currently or someone that's violating sh on a regular basis making one of these 36 crimes on a regular basis they are not considered Jewish at that moment meaning their Judaism is on suspension they're cut off from the Nation meaning if you have wine that's L that's not cooked wine and you say hey buddy do me a favor open the wine and pour me a cup if he does it the whole wine is good you're not allowed to drink it as a matter of fact you made the sin by making him hold the wine you're not doing him a favor so in essence in the eyes of hem the person is not considered Jewish is Jud is Judaism is UN suspension in the eyes of hasem at that moment he's considered 100% an idol worshipper so that's what means and that's also what the means so unfortunately all of us know somebody and many somebodies that are in this status all of us the question is what do we do now in this week's par we have a very interesting story continues with yadik and YF was in jail and he helped out these two Egyptians and one of the Egyptians was supposed to help him out because the other guy died the other guy died first guy the second guy went back to his position but he forgot forgot yourf and then par has a couple of dreams and needs somebody to interpret the dreams and none of his necromancers can interpret them so then this Sim says that uh hey I'm sorry I uh I'm sorry uh um uh the uh Chamberlain of cup Bears cup Bears uh he says oh I me I'm sorry I I made a mistake I forgot to tell you this actually somebody that was I owed him a favor a couple years ago he helped me out he translated my dream but he actually help me out so he could help you out but here it says something a little different when he said he could help you out he didn't say it in a very nice language what do you say it's some there's some Hebrew that helped us out that's in jail over there from here we learn that in reality this Wicked Egyptian was not trying to help YF like he owed him the favor what was he trying to do he's trying to get himself a better position trying to get a better job hey boss oh you need some help I got somebody for you some some some Hebrew guy some Jew over there I know I can help you out not because he owes him a favor so even the the good things that he was saying was not really for the good so sometimes I see people that they do chv they learn some T they learn they learn things like they learn things that meaningful things they realize that they know a lot of people that are in deep trouble that are still falling into that status and they go tell them hey you m you m you m start telling everybody M M M what happens everybody leaves runs away becomes even more anti-religious why because they didn't come to tell them Hey listen there's a problem with you you know what you're doing Hashem doesn't like it they didn't come to help them they came to make fun of them hey I know the truth you don't know anything you're you're in essence what they're doing is it's not CH they're doing it because they want to make themselves feel better so that's why it says You must rebuke your brother you see your brother sinning you see your brother driving on Shabbat you see your brother doing something wrong you have to do something you can't do nothing but don't get to a point of making a sin meaning have the right intentions this guy this rash in this week's par he didn't have the right intentions he owed yadik a favor but he didn't have the right intentions he just really his only his only only thing he cared about was himself so whenever we're going to tell people these hard things that I just said you have to do it with care meaning you have to make sure you know who you're dealing with if you if it's a complete stranger you don't never met him ever in your life to start a conversation like that is not usually a good idea usually it's better for you to bring him to a lecture let him hear it from me let him hear from the speaker because if they hear it from a speaker they it's not directly to them they may feel it just as hard but they know it's not I'm not pinpointing them specifically oh you did it you did it you did it whereas if it's coming from you telling them one-onone they could get offended the second thing is is to make sure that you're telling them the information in a way where it's not sounding like you're insulting them like you're wishing them bad tell them listen everything is subject to Chua you can do Chua I did it I is worse than you or at least as bad as you if I can do it you can do it give them some hope so this unfortunately some people what I what I just said some people take it too far and they pretty much they're so worried about offending people they don't say anything at all and for that is the reason why we lost bet mikdash in the uh it says told Jeremiah we say it in we lie every day all the men of Truth we lost them what does it mean we lost all these men of Truth it says once Hashem realized no one wants to say the truth anymore no one wants to tell people stop driving on Shabbat no one wants to tell people stop being into married no one wants to tell people stop stealing no one wants to tell people anything they're so worried about everybody else's feelings no one says anything anymore says I don't have any more I don't have any more men of truth I have to destroy the BET mdash why because there's no way anyone's going to do Chua without someone telling somebody something no one's going to do Chua so we can't get from one you know one extreme to the other we can't say in a way where it's insulting and it's destroying them at the same token we can't go to a point where we're not saying anything and people are driving on Shabbat and into married for 20 years and everything's okay and that's one of the things we also learned from theim when they uh leave your F's house after the first meeting they don't know it's JF and then they open up their bags on the way and they see there's a bunch of cash in their bags and said what did God do to us what like God did it to them he's like he has nothing to do with his uh with his time what did God do to that's what they said that's what what did God do to us what does it mean what does it mean what did God do to us the pur is says the stupidity of man leads him to sin foolishness of man leads him to sin and then he gets mad at Hashem for punishing him so they said what did God do to us they're not complaining against hem like hm he says what do we do to get to this point what kind of foolishness did we do oh remember what we did we sold our brother when he was begging for us for his life we threw him into a hole there was nothing in the hole what was in the hole and there was scorpions and snakes and he was screaming his lungs out asking us for help we didn't say nothing that's what happens that's why now we have a problem with this King who's this King what's going on that's the foolishness so we can't get to a point we do nothing and then one day says Hey listen I give you an option your friend was a Shabbat five years you didn't say nothing to him your other friend was going out with a non-jew five years you didn't say say nothing your brother was uh this five years your whole life a bunch of people were you didn't do nothing your whole life you had a bunch of people that were sinning you didn't say nothing now you go up to Sham and not of course they have a problem but the person that didn't say anything page 54 says it's as if they committed the sin themselves meaning in sh they come they're happy oh mashia I'm so happy it's so great no what are you happy for you're going to get punished why I kept Shabbat he goes no you shabbat Shabbat I kept it every week I went to the K I prayed everything is good goes he didn't keep nothing you had a friend you had a brother you had a son you had a sister you had a someone you didn't say anything to them you didn't even try you get the dean you get the de so that's one of the things that's very very troubling to me personally uh in this generation is that there's very very few people that willing to say the truth so now saying the truth is not is not easy typically it gets you a lot of enemies this is the reason why all of the prophets if you notice had difficult lives to say the least and many of them were killed by the people if you uh look at some of the stories I mean vicious vicious death there's one major story about Zakaria Z they cut him up to pieces and when sent his army in there nean came in and he saw there's a bunch of Blood on the floor boiling boiling like uh you made tea boiling water but the blood's boiling in the middle of for hundreds of years goes what's this what is this boiling blood goes no no it's nothing it's nothing is like listen I'm not a fool what what is this what is this boiling blood listen it's we did the sacrifice so it's a special Magic thing you wouldn't understand you you wouldn't understand you're from Babylon you don't understand so okay so bring Corban show me I want to see show me I want to see what's the how you guys make blood boil I just killed a million people on the way here not no blood boiled no show me how it boils so he did a Coan the blood's not boiling oh no no it's a f it's it's a mistake we'll try another one another one another one another one it's not happening goes listen if you don't tell me I'm going to kill all of you what is this boiling blood said listen we sinned we sin what we sin we used to have a prophet told us the truth told us to stop violating Shabbat told us to stop wearing tight clothes told us to stop acting like go told us to stop being like go and we didn't like it so we killed him and that's his blood boiling all this time so Zan says I'm going to avenge him and he started killing everyone he killed the rabbis he killed the kids he killed a sea of blood and he kept going back to the area and he sees the blood still boiling he screamed to sh and he says z z i killed all the good ones do you want me to kill the rest of them and the blood stopped boiling the blood stopped calm down soan did a need he did a argument in his head he said listen if this is the punishment that happens to the righteous they weren't all Wicked these people they're righteous they just made one mistake if this is the punishment they get look how many people he killed with his own hands look what happens to them and they're righteous these people what's going to happen to me if I don't do chuva he took off all of his army stuff he sent a letter toban that he killed himself and he joined the line of all the Jews and converted to Judaism and his and his descendants got to such a high level that KES point being is that even if someone like nean can do Chu if the is mentioning that somebody like this did chuv none of us made made such a crime so if chuak is available to him it's available to everyone that's the biggest point point of the story if someone like him could do chuba anyone can do chuba even your friend or your brother or your sister or your this or your that that hates God that hates religion that hates this and that hates that and works anyone can do Chua you just got to go to them in a different approach bring him to give him a CD One Way or Another You Have To Be Clever hasm gave you an imagination use it for this next question right the same reason that uh for the same reason that par you see here when when yadik tells the dream now par had many many people many smart people many Wizards necromancers all types of magic Witchcraft and so on he says nobody knew anything how does he know they didn't know what you told me a dream right now and I told you yeah oh you told me you had a duck and a dog in your dream and this oh that means you're gonna be rich next week okay so just write me a check now write me a check now so you're gonna be rest next week just give me whatever you have in your bank don't worry about it just give me whatever you have in the bank now next week you're gonna get more how you know I'm right so how did had a bunch of smart people bunch of people the Wizards and this and that magic tricks why do you what did he say there to to YF there's no one like you you're isim you're you're man of God how did he know because the mid says that U tried to steer him wrong he told him things that were didn't actually happen in a dream he told them things that didn't happen and Y says no no no that didn't happen in your dream and he fixed it this is what happened and then he said something else no no no that didn't happen something else happened he goes wait you in my dream how do you know all this stuff same thing happened with the others the ones before it he told them the dream they told him the beginning he told them the end he told them how to ended he told them what happened in their dream so from that they realized this is not a magic trick how you going to know what happen in my dream also from dreams one of the things we learned from the dreams is the concept of time or the concept of no time I asked I asked an is a lot of people always have trouble with the issue of God the significance of God they always tried to rationalize God humanize God for thousands of years people have been trying to humanize God put him into a human form that you can understand now the rambam says that if I understood him I would be him meaning to be at a level where you understand God's mind God's intellect you have to be God so people have a problem with that like no no maybe rambam didn't know maybe he didn't Maybe maybe wasn't smart enough little do we know that we're not even enough to be a grain of salt that rambam used on one of his Burgers one day in his life but anyway the people have a tough time understanding the concept of God and not understanding something they always try to humanized God they put pictures they put thing they said no no I think maybe I would have done something different I don't think God should have done this I think he should have done this like as if they would have done something better so I said okay for all of those people that are trying to humanized god let's try to understand them very simply can you understand the concept of no time that's it it's the beginning middle and the end of the question can you even understand can you think for a second about no time having no time and the reality is that no human being can because everything that we can possibly think about regardless of your IQ regardless of you're seven years old or your 50 or your IQ is five your IQ is 500 doesn't make a difference as a human being you cannot think about anything that has no time because everything we think about is connected to time work is connected to time money connected to time wives kids anything material food going to the bathroom everything is connected to time in one way or another how long it's going to take me to get there how long I'm going to be there how long it's uh you know it took place and so on and so forth everything is connected to time now how do we have a concept of no time and how hasem Works without time how he has no time our best proof is dreams we learned from this Paras and also a few other par before this talked about dreams dreams are the best proof that there's no time in sham because sometimes you could have a guy go to sleep somebody go to sleep and they have a dream and the dream like par it says when he the dream ended he says and it had been a dream he was surprised that it was a dream why because for him everything that happened was like forever it took a long time you saw the cows and the cows walking around and there were good-looking cows and then there was a bunch of weird looking cows you never saw cows like this before but all this takes time to see the cows they're walking they're this they're by the water this is a while he's enjoying the woods he's enjoying the Nile everything is good then he sees the cow eat another cow that by itself takes a while then he sees another cow eat the other cow and then another cow eat another cow and this whole thing takes a long time then he says oh it was a dream what do you mean it was a dream because it took so long and he was only sleep for a few minutes the dream itself was weeks weeks he sees these cows going around da but for him in real life in this life it was two seconds sometimes you go to sleep you swear that you were in a dream that took a week a month a year sometimes people have night terrors some people have these night terrors they go through this it's a higher level than a nightmare and they feel like they're being punished or beat up or so on and so forth for a very long period of time could be horrible horrible things they wake up they realize it was five minutes because in your dream there's no time there's no time and scientists through their studies they said that the longest possible dream is 9 minutes so every night you go to sleep you sleep for three four five six seven hours I don't know how much you sleep whatever you sleep you have hundreds and hundreds of dreams you don't remember most of them you remember maybe one if you're lucky but each one of those dreams was just a few moments but some of those dreams when you were in a dream you felt like it was weeks months years could be so from this week's par we see that uh the concept of time is also discussed by theim next yeah yes or no what that's what confused last yeah importance of the dreams between people right that being interpred well I mean first first you should understand this is before mat that's one two this is and three has a whole section maybe about 10 that talks about dreams it says that most dreams are complete nonsense say says it outright most dreams are complete nonsense that are the outcome of what you see in your day-to-day life you saw an elephant you're going to have a dream with an elephant you saw fast car in your dream you're going to have a fast car maybe you're going to have a car with elephant head on it who knows if you saw both of them the same day or same week your dreams in general are going to be mostly nonsense once in a while and it gives you a few signs once in a while you're going to have a dream that's 160th of Nea one part of 60 of Prophecy once in a while some of the signs we learned from this also we also have another source from which is having the same dream twice some say three times but here we see from po twice I think was three times but either way it's multiple times to have the same dream consecutively not like you had it now and the next time three years later you had the same dream I had a dream when I was a little kid I used to dream I was a Superman every week I never became Superman I had the dream a bunch of times I never became Superman so so as far as dreams are concerned it's first sign is to have the same dream at least twice in a row second thing is the significance of a dream is if you dream it in the morning right in the hours before you wake up that carries much more weight than dream that you're going to have uh at night third there's different signs that you see in dreams uh as far as uh for example if you wake up with a PUK carries a lot of weight if you uh dream about snakes it carries a lot of weight if you dream about losing teeth carries certain weight and so on and so but only if you had the same dream more than once if you just uh went to sleep tonight we talked about no teeth you had a dream that your teeth fell out means nothing don't worry about it and even if you had it three times doesn't necessarily mean that it means something anyway it's just more possible now the biggest thing that the teaches is that there was two and and they went to this uh that uh supposedly knew how to interpret dreams you know how to interpret dreams and both ra and had the same dream same dream they go to him now they didn't know that they had the same dream they went to him later on they found out first one goes to him he says I had dream XYZ this guy and he pays him on the spot he gives him money oh your dream means you're going to become the next Rosa and that gives him good the next one gives him the same exact dream but he doesn't pay him he gives him like an IOU I'll pay you later he doesn't have the money on him pay him later on gives him a bad transation goes this mean you're gonna get fired they're gonna throw you out of the Yesa same dream what happens next day same thing one guy becomes OA next day the other one gets fired the next week they come back again with the same dream the one that pays him up front gets a good translation the one that doesn't pay gives him an IOU gets a bad translation and it happens little by little at the end of the story we find out that rebi R says that the dream significance is carried based on who translates it who translates it so if you ever have a dream especially a troubling dream especially a dream where it's like weird or perhaps even scary go to somebody that loves you usually your mom dad not always loves you but your mom loves you often so you go to Ima and tell Ima what does my dream mean tell her to give you she'll give you a if you tell her this ahead of time she'll give you any any good mean oh she'll tell you'll make money you'll do this whatever whatever it is you'll find a z whatever she says good why because if she says something bad so you have to go to somebody that loves you that's also so one we one thing we learn also in regards to B today is not done the way it's done in the days of the in days of today it's usually if you have let's say Z we have 10 guys one guy reads out loud the first few and that's it everybody reads it themselves the real way of doing it is actually one person reads it out loud the whole thing for everyone and the way they actually do it is the person that reads it out loud the whole blessing for everyone must be somebody with a kind heart why does he have to have a kind heart because when it says R will do this R will do this R will do this if he has a kind heart when he says those blessings he means for everyone to get the blessing but if he's stingy then he only wants the blessing for himself so that's what they made a Newan a said listen we don't know if he's kind not kind I'm reading my own blessings I don't trust you I don't trust you you're not going to give me P last week I lost money this week I lost the car that da I don't trust you I don't know you I don't know if youan for me when I'm reading it for myself but that's the that's the degenerate generation we live in next question go back then let's say back then they were Germans um how many um Jews did they kill all together in World War II they killed about six million Jews six million Jews uh they killed and and unfortunately since the Holocaust we lost even more but we didn't lose six more than six million because of War we lost 36 million since 1942 since World War II ended because of intermarriage because of Jews that married non-jews whether it's a woman that's Jewish that married a non-jewish man or a man that's Jewish that married a non-jewish woman eventually within one or two generations their kids were not Jewish and we ended up losing Jews and since World War II somebody did a recent statistic it came out maybe about a year ago a year and a half ago it said we lost 36 million Jews for inter marriage it's much worse than the Holocaust much worse and uh the way that we can do something about it the way that we can do something about it is start caring one thing that I remember on Wall Street is that all my clients had a common denominator every one of my clients not only they all had a common denominator all my employees I had over employees guys that came from nothing became somebody in some cases in other cases they stayed nobody but overall a lot of people a lot of people worked a lot of people worked really hard and the employees and the clients all had one thing in common Everyone Cared about money and they cared so much about money they cared about nothing else only money they saw money that's their God you know in dollar bill you have a dollar bill um I don't I only carry dollar bills you guys are probably Rich you have hundreds I only have dollar bill my dollar bill I remember it by heart what does it say on do Bill In God We Trust In God We Trust like we're religious no what does it mean in God we trust they believe the dollar is God that's the problem so now and Wall Street both the clients and the Brokers care about money I wish now we left Wall Street now I've been here trying to teach T trying to learn T trying to do something with my life and many people are doing Chua I got an email today one of those amazing it's one of those things hem has mercy and he sends you nice things once in a while and it's he sends it regularly so this morning I get an email you get a lot of emails every day but not all of them break your heart this one is M unbelievable this woman I never heard from her she says Dear Rabbi ruven I want to tell you that I found your CD somewhere in the UK in L in London somewhere I found your CD and decided to put it in decided to put it in I have no connection no understanding no nothing and I decided I'm going to convert to Judaism now forget she didn't have a boyfriend that's Jewish she didn't have a husband that's Jewish nothing she's not connected to to Judaism in any way she perform doesn't know anybody that's Jewish nothing she saw a CD she said oh this looks like an interesting story she put it in she says right now I'm in the process of converting to Judaism somebody invested $1 somebody invested $1 into that CD now you're gonna have that person that donated $1 it cared enough where he actually saved the in the world there eight billion people in God you trust in God we trust the god though is the god that actually does everything that actually makes the dollar that makes everything else and the one thing that I see is that on Wall Street they care a lot about money they care about that God but in the religious world not everybody cares so much not everybody cares for different reasons one reason is that the God We Trust one in a dollar bill has no yet that's actually helps you go chase the money don't go to don't go to don't go pray don't go learn don't do anything why keep working stay busy with dollars but to actually help people do cha to help people actually learn t for you to do it for you to bring other people to do it no no interferes every way shape or form that he can all of a sudden you're busy all of a sudden there's a flat tire all of a sudden there's a fight all of a sudden there's a argument all of a sudden there's a customer all of a sudden there's a phone call something always happens to interfere so how do we get to a point of actually overcoming this I actually spoke at Yesa last night and I asked the guys a question that you would think is a regular is a reasonable question that it's more like a rhetorical question where everyone would say yes so I asked I want yes I don't know 30 guys there and I asked them how many of you want to be for a career that's what you do how many of you want to be fig you're this is the C if I go to a baseball game and say 90,000 people how many of you want to be no one's going to raise their hand why is 990,000 people that there he see baseball I go to a football game say how many people want to be no one's going to raise the hand say get out of the way get out of the way the quarterback is about to throw the ball but you go to Yesa you say how many people want to be you expect I don't know half 50% 60% 90% maybe if it's Kim something at least one right not one hand not one hand not one hand they're doing it because they believe in tah just like you they believe in Torah they believe in Hashem just like you they believe everything is us the you don't have to be a genius to figure that out there in Yesa no problem they say listen but you have to make money young kids 15 16 17 year old tell them you have to make money money what the Torah is going to pay the bills so I said to them yes Torah pays the bills the problem is is that so far I've been doing this for a few years very very few people to be honest there probably maybe one or two people that have met that actually understand the significance of Torah meaning the value of Torah the reason why very few people want to be very few people want to commit their life to Torah and only Torah I don't mean Torah on the side while you work I mean just Torah and figure out a way to survive Shem will figure out a way he's figured out a way to create the world he'll figure out to give you P but to have that level of to have that level of of commitment there's very very few people in the world that are willing to do it even including the guys that are doing it even the guys that are K I hear from them all the time tell me listen I'm thinking about leaving I don't know if my parents don't help me now I'm not doing all the time all the time everybody's always like one foot in one foot out or they're in but they don't really want to be in it's like they're doing a god a favor sometimes why they're in why why why is it like this the reason why it's like this and the reason why you have to beg people to come to sh it's to beg people tell them listen you have to pay the speaker $20,000 oh I'm coming is he GNA be there long enough or she it's free I don't know it's too long it's too this it's too far it's too late it's too early why what happened if you pay for we're coming there's one guy I heard today he has a very well-known speaker became very popular in recent years and uh somebody was trying to call him for weeks weeks they're trying to call him can't get him on the phone finally he got somebody on the phone like oh listen I want to speak to Rabbi so and so said said there's no chance some sometimes you can he's busy he's busy he's got lectur he's got this he's got that if you want you come to one of the lectures that he does he has he waits at the end of the night he speaks to a few people for one minute at a time gives them a blessing till 2 o'clock in the morning works really hard you want talk to him oh can I bring him to my uh place oh yeah sure it's $10,000 no problem you can bring him to wherever you want he'll come to you said no problem for 10 ,000 people willing to wait till 2:00 in the morning for free we're barely willing to come at 7:00 at night why what's the difference what's the difference here what's the difference the difference is that very few people understand the value of Torah what's the value of Torah in the book of Jeremiah chapter 33: 25 says to jerem if not for my Covenant day and night the rules of the world will cease to exist what's the covenantal says that our sages say the Covenant is the Tor the Covenant if there isn't somebody in the world learning Torah at some point 24 hours a day the rules of the world will cease to exist instantly not like Noah where he sent Noah he told him listen build 120 years maybe they'll do chv maybe not no no no if there's not somebody in the world at any given moment learning T World ceases to exist so now when I told these I told him listen you guys think that you're just here no one knows who you are you never wrote any books no one ever has any real that anyone cares about no one knows you no one this no one that you think that you're not important little do you know that there's probably at some point during a day that you're learning that maybe just maybe nobody else in the world is learning and if that happens it doesn't matter if you're it doesn't matter if you're it doesn't matter if you're a big s a big Rabbi famous not famous charge 10,000 charge free it doesn't make a difference you learning to that moment you're holding up the world now it has a different value now that career you want to have in law or in cars or in medicine or in jewelry or in something else could never go be at the same level why because it doesn't matter how much money you make in diamonds it doesn't matter how much money you make on Wall Street it doesn't matter how much money you make on in legal firms or in anything else you will never hold up the world ever there's plenty of Rich lawyers there's plenty of Rich doctors there plenty of Wall Street guys there's plenty of all of them and none of them are significant in the world as far as to that extent why they're not learning tah if they learn T then but that's what we don't understand we don't understand the value of Torah we don't understand that the Torah is the only reason this world exists so in theph Malachi rebukes to another Prophet every one of these prophets that's all they did rebuke us rebuke us rebuke us and this is also the uh Prophet that he told him that he loves yov and he hates so he says verse six chapter one verse am he says a son will honor his father and a servant his master if I'm your father if God is telling you if I'm your father where's my honor every every father's the son's supposed to honor him if I'm your father where's my honor and if I'm your master where's my fear how come you not scared of me and who is he talking about is he talking about all the people that are going to the movie theaters is he talking about all the people that are wearing mini skirts or not modest clothes is he talking about all the people that are driving on Shabbat who is he talking to is he talking to all the people that are Idol worshippers who's he talking to he's talking to the Kim he's talking to the religious people he's talking to the religious people says you name you scorn my name you go against my name every day you don't fear me you don't respect me nothing why you bring meot that are disgusting like K you know K and c and Abel they both had an opportunity to bring Coan bring a sacrifice to hasm Abel said I'm going to give my best stuff whatever I have I'm going to give it to Hashem Kane says Hashem doesn't need anything he has everything created the world he needs my Coan what does he need my Coan I'll give him some run potatoes R Tomatoes R this run this he doesn't need it anyway well he's going to eat my potatoes he's gonna eat my tomatoes he doesn't need it so might as well give him the bad stuff he doesn't need it anyway so he give him this says I don't need to Kuan yourban disgusts me sometimes we go to AEM with this type of ofan somebody I know nice guy mamash wonderful guy wonderful happens to be successful has a few dollars has a business has this has Investments everything is great never happy though never happy and you know I always try to figure out this that the other thing now usually you find out about somebody and his his his closest to hem when it comes to money why because when it comes to the everyone looks like a sadik you put a on you look like M everyone looks the same business on the other hand you know who's stealing who's not if he's stealing has NOA whatsoever if he's honest maybe so I see the guy once in a while he gives he gives he gives what does he give guy supposedly makes a ton of money he has this he has this he tells me all these different things that he owns he owns this building and he owns this house and he owns this car and he's buying this vacation now has plenty of money he gives the guy gives a $100 he gives $150 and I'm thinking you know what maybe this guy is who knows give him maybe supporting Thea maybe's supporting making 20 30 40,000 a month maybe's 10 you know 10% 20% even maybe 20% is going to Yesa maybe it's going to I don't know maybe he's writing a seph every few months who knows well everything has to come to me what do I know so I'm thinking this guy he's giving it somewhere else but you know whatever he gives $100 to us here and there and he gives to them he gives the tens of thousands of dollars elsewhere one day he tells me you know listen I don't understand what's going on I did CH I keep me I do this and I give a bunch of to you come how come things are not working out I'm thinking to myself bunch of where's the check the check May didn't clear maybe this maybe that since I know the guy maybe I got $500 in two years I give a bunch of I give a bunch of what happens in our mind in our mind we give a lot more than we do why we figure that hasem gave us the money to buy cars to buy houses to buy buildings to buy this when it comes to hem he already has enough he already has enough I don't have to give more to buy a car the guy's not going to buy anything less than $100,000 car come on shalom Shalom buy less than $100,000 car who drives a $100,000 car has to be 120 even you think I'm homeless 70 what you want me to drive a toyot start starts spitting on the floor nuts house come on if it's less than a half a million dollars it's for homeless people Mars will not Mars will live in outside if it's less than a half a million dollars for houses we could spend a half million for cars we could spend 751 $200,000 for watches there's nobody that wears a watch less than $5,000 anymore if it's $5,000 it's like he's just starting out he's 25 years old if he has a business minimum minimum minimum 15 to 25,000 why kind of watching what you want maybe I'll just wear a psycho and that's for $30 if it's not if it's not 15,000 might as well not wear it for all of those things we go with we buy the whole house we'll borrow money we'll do this we'll gamble we'll put everything on a I'll put everything on black just to make sure I have enough money to buy the watch but we never think about no it's too expensive why you have a m that's less than $60 why is so expensive $60 why is so expensive $60 you bought a house for a million you can't buy $60 M but this is this is our logic our logic is flawed our logic is flawed our logic is M and that's what hasem says you religious people we're not talking about the people do nothing we still have to bring them in talk about the people that are keeping think they're doing so much but in reality we not doing anything in reality if we compare what we're supposed to do versus what we're doing we have a lot of work to do a lot of all of us myself first more than anyone here we have a lot of work to do and that's why hasem says to the prophet he says where's the fear where's the cavod where where is all of this now why is this really matter because at the end of this Prophet where chapter three he talks about mashia he says he says behold I'm sending my messenger meaning the mashiah and he will clear the path before me suddenly P suddenly is going to show up one day it's not going to be like a warning everyone's going to get an email Hey listen guys in like 3 months he's showing up or like you know people like the text message today say look Donald Trump gatria mashia David every day there's a new gatria mashia David Donald Trump oh look we got capital is is Donald Trump is J M's coming what people need to understand is the mashia is not going to be what all it's cracked up to be thear says that not everyone's going to be so happy where do we get it from here this this this prophet he says who can bear the day of his coming who can survive when he appears for he will be like the smelter fire and like the launderer soap he will sit smelting and purifying silver he will purify the children of Levi and refine them me to the children of lvi me a children of Le religious people all religious people the children of Levi they're considered the religious people ra says that's that's children of and refine them like golden silver and then he says at the end I'm going to skip a little bit says it says for I amem I have not changed and you the sons of yov you have not perished meaning you've stuck around all this time but for some reason you think that I changed maybe I changed the law maybe because M didn't have a car you didn't drive on Shabbat I didn't change nothing changed nothing changed whatever I wrote from mosu 3,300 years ago is still relevant I said back then you're not allowed to be intermarried not allowed to be intermarried I said back then you're not to drive on Shabbat not allow to drive on Shabbat today nothing changed nothing changed so when the mashia comes you're going to have to show up with whatever you brought so far what Coan did you bring you bring a $100 Coan you didm a favor or you B something more significant and that's some of the things that we learned we learn a lot because this a this par connects to it a few other things connect to it people need to understand that doing a half of a mitvah is not really going to help you that much do it at least as much as you do everything else in your life you go to work you don't do half a job you do a whole job when you do Mitzvah do a whole Mitzvah don't do half of Mitzvah I'm not saying don't do do everything or do nothing obviously do but the point is is that we have to exert a little more effort in whatever we're doing there is a uh guy that I keep trying to convince him to uh wear trying to convince him to wear he's like yeah but he's a smart guy he's like yeah but it says that only if you have four corners only if you you have four corners you wear TI if there's no Four Corners you don't have to wear TI that's actually you don't have if there's four corners you don't have to wear but the page 43 says the following they ask if I don't wear do I get punished he says let me ask the angels in those days me I could asked my books they asked Angels so they asked ratina ratina spoke to an angel angel came to him he spoke to him he says in sh angel angel in sh you go sh you know what's going on up there it's Angel so it's firsthand information and he says in sh do they punish for not wearing TI because it says says if you have four corners where SE so technically you don't have to if you don't have four corners you have a round shirt like pretty much all clothes today you don't have to wa so he asks him 2,000 years ago says Angel go to ask him do you punish for not wearing T seit he says during times when there's a decree when there's a negative decree on the world we punish everyone especially people that shortcut when do we punish with during times like we are right now so that's I don't think I told him yet so I'm going to try this this week what do you guys think you think it's going to work still not going to work a shot it sounds like a tough n they all are they all are but the the main thing is that all of us can take from all of this is that in order for us to do chuva in order for us to help our friends and family do chuva in order for us to feel confident that when mashia comes everything's going to be okay it has the same common denominator same common denominator we have to care that's it just like I told you people on Wall Street the customers the Brokers Everyone Cared what they care they car about money has to care about something else we have to care about each other we have to care about hem we have to care about the Torah that's it just have to care nothing more nothing less just care because if you care the rest will follow but if we continue acting like it's not a big deal ah somebody else will do it you know you see something on the floor somebody else going to pick it up somebody else going to pick it up somebody else going to close the door somebody else is going to donate somebody else is going to do this somebody else somebody we're always depending on somebody else if we care it's going to be us if we don't care it's GNA be nobody what else yeah okay don't know I so she obviously didn't go Yesa no she she did she graduated she had a normal job then had some problems in her family and you know she Bas okay what do you do with her i s M's video even Al because you know Rabbi Al was basically same case um M ra she says I know and I know what's going to happen to me then what do you do okay and she's like it's too much for me I can't handle she knows the TR but she came and now she started listening she just dumped it back okay family doesn't know what's going on with two different state right what do you uh one of the things that uh Deon takes from the prophet he says that uh and also the ramban before him said it is that in order to do chuva at the end of days right before mashia comes you actually have to have you have to have Merit to do chuva and the the reason why the uh they ask him what's going to happen at the end of days who's going to be saved who's not how do you get saved says you want to be saved before mashia comes you have to do okay fine great it sounds easy enough he goes no no I don't want to be alive to see it not him not the other ones no one wants to be alive to see the Messiah why it's big because no no it's going to be too hard it's going to be too hard to fulfill all you need to do it's going to be too hard why it's going to be a lot of tests a lot of unusual things a lot of religious people becoming not religious or anti-religious a lot of people that you know are supposed to be a friend become your enemies a lot of rabbis turn into crazy people and so on and so a lot of strange things are going to happen at the end of times where it says inage 49 says a list of different things that are going to happen at the end of days and M you read it you look at it it's like reading a newspaper and you get scared you get scared I did all about I got scared and it's true I'm scar scared I'm telling the people I'm scared cuz why cuz I know all this is happening right now as we speak so now one of the unfortunate outcomes of all of the sins all of the things we do is that we create a stone heart stone heart meaning a heart that's not a normal heart of a Jew Normal Heart of a Jew I come to some people they could look like mamash an outright criminal they just it looks like it just killed 10 people on the way to see me I tell them hem created the world he wants you to keep keep shabat M on the spot they do everything the guy looks like a murderer he told hem said this he said where he say this you open the book you show them on the SP Tak no problem he looks like a murderer today tomorrow some people some people they much pure beautiful people they don't know m there was one time a guy never he was living in a kibo his whole life never knew anything one day he heard a sh wow he tells his friend he goes you heard goes what the rabbi just said you you're not allowed to have tattoos a Jew is not allowed to have tattoos hasm hates it goes okay so what he didn't know what to do to himself he runs into the back his friend tells the story he goes I don't know this crazy guy I don't know he goes runs to the back and all of a sudden I starts smelling something burning I start smelling something burning I don't know what it is sounds like a steak or this or that I run to the back and I see him take the iron the iron and put it on his arm burning himself to burn the tattoo he did chuva that moment he heard it he did Chua completely he went to col the next day he hasn't left since why towel he just never knew M never knew anything you told him he did it he heard Hashem doesn't like tattoos for him was unbearable not like you and me we have to hear it 5,000 times we still don't do it about this guy heard it mama is such a pure Soul he never heard anything M heard it one time hasem doesn't like tattoos he took everything off the next day he was saved and there's many people like him that's why R mrai by the way says there's not enough time to work on difficult cases go look for the easy fruit there's plenty of easy fruit out there there somebody you tell them you teach them they do chva right away finished you give them a CD they do cha finished you come to sh one two three they're finished there's plenty of easy fruits out there there's plenty of people like this lady that sent me an email she picked up the CD she put on the CD right now she wants to be more religious than all of us plenty of those there 8 billion people in the world I bet you many of them want to do it Jews non-jews and so on but once in a while there's a Jew that we're all obligated to save or at least try and he has a stone heart why because he went to way too many strip clubs and did too much cocaine and went to did to too many problems in his life and gambled and uh stole and uh violated Shabbat and this and that and he did all the worst things that he's not supposed to do but we're more obligated to him or to her then we are to a non-jew that wants to become a Jew why cuz he's already one of us he's already obligated she's already obligated so we have to go try now he's not going to be an easy case she's not going to be an easy case if she was a stripper or this one or that they're not going to be an easy case it's not going to be an easy case but how can we save her we have the care with the care so how do you show you care first and foremost already eliminated giving up from your vocabulary never ever give up never that's number one two remind yourself constantly why you're doing it if you're doing it to prove a point don't do it at all do me a favor stop you're ruining it if you're doing it to tell people that they're wrong and you're right don't do anything stay home somebody else that's better than you is going to save her somebody else that's better than you is going to save him don't do it to tell people that they're wrong like we learned from this par do it because you're trying to help them not because you're trying to I told you so I told you so I told you so no I told you so because also by the way you should know there's an someone that takes pride in other people's failure loses his own that's why in before you open the it always says make sureem please bless me that I don't make a mistake and my friends celebrate why my friends celebrate because if they celebrate on my mistake they lose their so this is a mish this is in this a this also in Mish and so on and so forth so first and foremost remind ourselves why we're doing it we're doing it because we're trying to help we're doing it because we love hem that's it we're not doing it because we want to be right and them wrong so that's number one next thing is aside from giving not giving up try different things try CDs doesn't work with the CDs try another CD doesn't work with another CD try with a uh email doesn't work with an email try to bring to a lecture doesn't work with a lecture try to introduce it to someone that could help and so on and so forth keep trying keep trying keep try and keep trying unfortunately unfortunately sometimes the stone heart is so hard is so hard that the only way to get water from It Is by hitting it now I'm not telling you guys to go hit anybody Shalom but what I'm telling you is is that hasm has to hit them sometimes the only way that people can do chuva is if hasem hits them sometimes it requires more than one hit sometimes they have to lose all their money sometimes they have to lose an arm sometimes they have to lose a wife or kids sometimes they have to lose vision sometimes they have to lose a lot of different they have to lose something why they have to be reminded that cares about everything now it's very easy to say oh I want to die I want to die when you're still alive it's very easy I heard a woman today I was speaking to a woman today the last year but she's having a tough time having a tough time this that all different types of things she say oh I don't understand why hasem is doing this to me it was better off if I just died said yeah it's very easy for you to say it when you're still alive and healthy and really nothing is really wrong other than the fact that you're upset it's very easy but if you give somebody just a simple earache a simple earache they already appreciate how much not having an earache means you give somebody a simple toothache one tooth you have bunch of teeth you have a few dozen teeth one too HTS not all of them just one Toth HTS all of a sudden you appreciate the rest of your teeth you give somebody one toe one toe you lose a nail one toe not all you have 10 toes unless you so many people have more than one 10 toes but you have 10 toes one one you lose one nail one one one nail it's like a little baby running around you don't know what to do with himself so a guy guy loses a toenail it's like uh a woman can lose an arm she's still okay she's still cooking and cleaning and everything a guy loses a toenail it's like his head came off we we're not good with pain our guys we're not good I'm telling you we're not so good I'm an expert on pain I'm telling you guys so sometimes hasem has to break us he has to hit us but we don't realize what it really means it's very easy to say I don't care I know what's going to happen I know it's going to be punished I know they don't know anything sh that I've been trying not to give for a long time about G we're not going to get into it now but the mishna that we're actually up to now in the series that we're in is about it and I'm trying to figure out a way out of it if not to give it to you guys or at least trying to figure out a way to soften it the reality of it is that it's necessary and the reason why is because most people have no concept of what bad means people think like the woman that I talked to today she thought that it's bad that she only makes $2,000 a month she thinks oh Rabbi you try to live off of $2,000 a month I said well you're single and you have no rent no nothing actually it's more money than me what do you mean but for her her vision it's the worst thing in the world she only makes $2,000 a month some people money means terrible things if you don't have money it's like the end end over the world they rather die if they don't have money other people if they're alone for just a short period of time they just broke up a relationship they're alone for a week a month two months six months a year whatever it is no no it's better off I die better off I die the reason why is because these people usually have never never actually experienced real pain real pain makes you realize how valuable life really is so in order for AEM to wake up some times these people is he has to hit them either with money issues health issues family issues this issue that issue and he tries to give them small hits here and there because he doesn't want to give you right away doesn't want to give you the worst plague right away he stries to give you small messages first he sends you a text message then he sends you a WhatsApp then he sends you you know a phone call then it's a voicemail then it's an email then someone knocks on the door and leaves a you know some type of letter but eventually some body breaks down your door how long you going to wait so with these people unfortunately if they're Have a Heart of Stone like some other people that I know the only thing we can do to show We Care is pray for them and do good things in their name arrange lectures in their name study tah in their name do good things in their name as if they died because in the reality in the eyes of they considered dead someone that's considered Wicked in the eyes of hem is considered excuse me it's considered dead in his own life while he's still alive so you should treat it as if that there a very famous story from Shalom he says there was a young girl maybe five years old six years old she heard from her uh teacher that on Shabbat you light candles but she came from a family of kutnik were anti-religion so she came home and she said ABA IM I want to have candles for Shabbat no candles in this house no candles in this house the next week again little girl is excited ABA IMA I want to have candles for Shabbat you know Shabbat KES no candles enough with the candles we're not having candles in this house SK little girl little the third Shabbat she doesn't ask anything but she's gone no one sees what she is they're busy watching their television or whatever they are and they realize after a little while they haven't seen their daughter in a while they go to her room and they see this little tiny little girl this little Mama's cute little girl she goes like this you know you do chabat and she has two candles in front of her what's for dead people she has two candles and they say to her honey what is this what they know what is what is this goes this is one is for IMA one is for ABA they went to the rabbi and said what does this mean it says your daughter's telling you one is for and one is for ABA did at the end of the day sometimes the little kids the little Picolo kids little tiny kids are going to help parents do chva different things sometimes it's giving them a CD sometimes it's scaring them with candles that they're going to die sometimes it's this sometimes it's that sometimes it's dreams I have one uh one student her daughters has some strange dreams about mashiach about this about that all types of very very interesting dreams very interesting dreams but nonetheless these dreams are very scary they're not for everyone to hear but the point is is that this little kid maybe seven eight years old helped her mom put K on you never know how it's going to come sometimes the stone is broken in different ways it's not always with a stick it's not always with a stick sometimes it's with a dream sometimes it's this sometimes it's that but you have to keep trying you pray for them you do good things in their name and things like that but always remember why you're doing it you're not doing it because you want to get kavod oh yeah I helped him do chuva I did this for him I you're here because of me don't do any of that stuff you're ruining it people will sometimes run away from you you because they're afraid that you are going to hold something against them they're afraid that you know something about them that no one else knows and so on and so forth and they don't want to see you anymore in general it's a rule of thumb by the way you should know we have a little experience in this the more you help people the more likely they to return you bad that's just the rule of thumb in general there's one somebody came to the and says I don't know this one guy religious guy but he doesn't stop saying bad things about you every day every day there's not a day pass he just do says something bad about you goes who is it goes this guy he goes I don't remember doing anything for him he goes what what' you do to him no I don't remember doing anything good for him I don't remember doing anything good for him to say there so many bad things about me it's a natural thing unfortunately it happens no next question if we do something good for the people that are not going help them when Masia comes only that's going to help them when mashiah comes is if they do cha themselves but if you do good things for them it could potentially cause other things to happen around the world around the world in general uh that's going to help them do Chua there was a famous story with he was very upset one day he came to his Yesa and he told him he was very upset at all the students all the students were each one of them was like an angel how could you be upset at angels He says you're not studying enough T says why what makes you think we're not studying enough T what you see one somebody you see somebody do this what what happened he goes I just heard a terrible story of a guy in France different country is started violating Shabbat what does that have to do with us if you would have studied hard enough the person in France would have been affected and he wouldn't have violated Shabbat meaning that sometimes you do something for somebody and it could affect them it could affect them in different ways at the very least someone's going to be affected by it something good is g to come out of it there's no such thing as someone doing something good and nothing good happens at the end sometimes the good is not right away sometimes it takes time but in general something good will eventually happen there's plenty of times where I've seen it happen that somebody did something good they didn't really it was even good didn't realize it was a big deal at all and eventually it turned out to be something extraordinary it's just that it takes time takes time for certain things to happen so if you know people which I think all of us do know someone at least one two 10 or 100 that need some help and just so you know the people that need help don't always have a keep on and they always don't don't always not have a keep on sometimes they do sometimes they don't sometimes they're religious sometimes they're not religious all of us need help I hear a lot of people from religious families Orthodox you know go to k go to Yesa go you know extra extra extra religious but they're having similar issues than some atheists have similar issues like some people that are completely secular have and vice versa so don't think this is only meant for non-religious relig that doesn't make a difference everyone needs help yeah was it normally in every generation you go to a CO and you wouldn't find one a that wanted to stay and study you imagine there's got to be a few guys that are doing really well so based on that they're doing really well they even are enjoying it they're liking it so they'd be motivated to want to stay at any would think there's always I don't know what to but there's a certain amount of guys in that category that are going to be motivated to want to stay 10 is this something new in this generation that you would come across a situation like that that not one guy would raise his hand and say yeah I'm doing well I'm enjoying myself here I like being here I don't care about the money I want to say and I want to see it through because it's working out very well for me and I want I want to see it through it's really good not guy is that normal it's normal in this generation the reason why is not there it's not their fault it's not the kids's fault it's the parents fault it's not the it's not the parents fault it's their parents fault it's not their parents fault it's their parents fault it's all all stems from it starts at a certain point and the reason why is because we all know of the common problem everyone has the com common problem that everyone has is that we view material as more significant than than Torah so if I told you listen you could live a very modest living modest below what you're living now below what you're living now you're going to be you have four rooms now you're going to have two but you're able to study till all day 99 out of 100 people would not even consider it an option and the one that considers it 75% of the time is no why because we live in a world where people make millions and millions and billions of dollars over making your life convenient so they made a phone so you don't have to go to someone's house and tell them hey Listen by the way can move your car so you call them now and the phone now listen I don't want to go to grocery store I can just order my groceries on my phone because I don't want to go to grocery store so you have an app to get the groceries because you go to the grocery store so we have an app to bring you the groceries and then the groceries come on it's can't be uh groceries where it's bad fruit bad this if it's bad you're retaking it back you have to be give the best type of quality everything that arrives at the grocery store is the best type of quality there's plenty of good stuff that's thrown out every single day garbage every single day why it doesn't meet the upper echelon that you're willing to pay for and the car that you have you drive a little car with just four wheels you have to have a navigation system for $3,000 andom you don't have leather seats come on who sits on uh on something that's not leather and this and a whole life is convenience a whole life and we don't want to go to watch something somewhere else no no no I'll watch it at home I'm not going to go to sh I'm gonna put it on YouTube I'm gonna put it on everything is about convenience your whole life is about convenience even present to get a presence for your family you have to get your phone or your computer or someone to remind you that it's their birthday you can't even be bothered to remember your wife's birthday or your or the anniversary or the you have to something has to remind you you can't even think for yourself you have to be reminded and who remembers their own home phone number who has a home phone it's already in your phone you don't even remember your own phone number somebody ask you what's your phone number I don't know but just give me yours and I'll uh I'll text you I'll text you because you don't remember your own phone number why because you're used to the convenience of it being stored in your phone so your whole life is based on convenience everything is convenient convenient this can be so when I tell you that in order to do in order to do the will of hem at the highest possible level which means to earn T you go to page 62 says if you want to earn Tora you must be willing to Die For It Die M die so he says what do we learn from this at obviously we don't have to die but he says says get used to get used to being uncomfortable how many of us are want to be uncomfortable I just said maybe you're going to survive on $2,000 a month half of you had start sweating $2,000 Shalom My Red's only 3,000 what are you talking about $2,000 where am I going to live I'm going be homeless my red is 3,000 my mortgage on the second house is another were you cursing us what is what's going on here just the watch I bought for for for is no one wants to be uncomfortable no one wants to be uncomfortable but that's the way you learn tah you have to get used to being uncomfortable you have to be used to being uncomfortable so that's the thing we have to understand that the kids that are in that the kids that are in every Isa they see you they're not stupid they're not blind they see ABA and IMA they see ABA and IMA ABA cares about the Beamer IMA cares about the Mercedes uh both of them care about the vacation they're going to go to Tahiti both of them care about this they care about everything material why would the kids want to be so all the parents in this way two one the vast majority of people in the generation period the vast majority of people in the generation period are very materialistic doesn't me doesn't mean everyone is it just means the vast majority I'm sure there are some people out there that are kesim that are completely non-materialistic and sometimes those very same people have a ton of money they just care less for it so it's not all of Shalom but if you look at the grand scheme of things you know a lot of people he knows a lot of people he knows everybody here knows somebody do you know anyone that's not materialistic you know anybody doesn't care about their kitchen they haven't spent at least 10,000 on their kitchen I know some people they're so upset because the guy made a mistake and the the the corner of the table is broken it's chipped off they want to ruin the whole $30,000 kitchen for the corner it's just a reality so the only way you can fight T is with the only way you can fight impurity is with purity so to complain about everyone and bring a and all of does not help us but to it doesn't help us it doesn't help them what helps us is caring how do we care we publicize tah we learn to we arrang you we have whatever we have right now as far as people next week same time same price free we're going to be here again each one of you if you care bring two people the doesn't care here till 4:00 in the morning cuz he cares the B doesn't care he create chairs he bite chairs he'll do whatever you want each one of you if you care bring two people you bring two people we're not going to have place to sit in a few weeks if everyone cares you're bringing someone you bring another one another one another one and I told him when we did the first year about a month ago I told him honestly this since I moved here to to Hollywood I see so many people need so much help and they don't have a clue I saw a guy this Shabbat little kid young kid I don't know maybe 15 16 years old with a keeper on so he thinks he's religious the kid the kid's convinced he's religious kid a 15y old with a keeper who's not religious well he's wearing it as a style and his friend also has a keepon so one of them is on a skateboard the other one's on a bicycle on Shabbat now the skateboard there's an there's like a leniency but the bicycle there's no it says specifically to be on a bicycle on Shabbat but they both think they're religious they both think they're both convinced they're religious their parents also think they're religious cuz because the father was behind them we also his bicycle we keep on instead we're so clueless we're so clueless that if we just have just a few people however we have here today if just you guys forget about everyone else stop worrying about everyone else if just you you today and me start caring next week we bring each one one or two people we're GNA have more people and I told them in the beginning honestly I think there's enough potential just in this area forget about the thousands of people that watch the shim online already it's I think 3,000 people watching this right now forget about that forget about the people going to watch it tomorrow and the next day forget about all that right here right here in Hollywood you can get 5,000 people a week easy 5,000 people a week why number one no one else is Ping no one else is saying this no El at least not in English maybe in Hebrew in English no one else is saying this no one else is telling people this is what hasem said everyone's saying their opinions everyone is saying nice things everyone's trying to like you know okay but very few are actually out there and going out there and trying to get people to wake up very few unfortunately so you get people tell listen show up it's free attend worst case scenario you leave worst case scenario you leave and you see people change and I could I'm telling you you can get 5,000 people a week here there's that many people that you could literally show up all we need is people that care that's it no no money no nothing else just care once you care the rest of it follows just have to care yeah thank you for coming k no it's a joke it was a joke it was a joke to scare his brothers because they didn't know he was yadik they didn't know he was he was yadik they just thought you know they they didn't they didn't see his face until that moment uh so and the reason why they didn't they didn't know that he was yadik is because you're not allowed the says you're not allowed to look at the face of a rash you're not allowed to look at the face of a wicked person so the whole time they went there the first time and then they left and then they came back and the whole thing with the cup happened the whole time they never looked at him in the face so they didn't realize that it's their brother in front of them so when they when he put the whole thing he put the cup in there to make them come back that was just part of the whole plan to get them to eventually look at him because that's why he kept asking them is my father still alive is my father still alive SC me thank you thank you so the the whole thing the whole thing is about getting them to getting them to look look is my father still alive is your father still alive something they never looked at them why now have to look at the face of now the face of next you had a question uh good why there so many people religious or Le religious completely going religion and I [Music] know can well I mean and these people these people live in Israel I understand people studed for 30 plus years in anti-ig I understand and I'm sitting well there's a few things a few simple few simple realities number one the Christians even though they're all Idol worshippers even though they all have serious serious problems in shamim and uh they're all going to can they're all going to get punished for it unless they do Chua uh they care they care enough about their idea they care enough about their idolatry that they're willing to put their money where their mouth is and there's not a church that doesn't have all of its members giving at least 10% of their money there was one time a uh blog article written by some uh Rabbi who apparently has a friend that's a priest and the rabbi told the priest that we're struggling for money and he wrote about this story and the priest said yeah well you probably solve that problem at the end of the month so the Rabbi says to the priest well do you know something about my Kaya that I don't goes well don't you get your male check your tithe they call it don't you get your tithe at the end of every month from your congregation and he says not exactly no well he goes what do you mean you don't get it every month well doesn't everyone give you 10% of what they make each month or maybe you get it every week because you guys are Jews you're religious because everyone what do you mean everyone goes maybe 2% of the entire Congregation of a thousand families gives 10% maybe 2% of them meaning 20 out of a thousand families give 10% so Mr priest what about you he says we don't maybe 2% don't give maybe 2% don't give 10% they give 20 but there's no such thing as showing up to church with the there with the there with all the garbage of the world there and people don't pay 10% why they care that's their that's their that's their unfortunately that's a to against us that's a case against us they care they care so much about their false belief they don't realize it's false obviously no one is crazy enough to know something is false and continue it that they even change their own religion just to make sure maybe I don't understand maybe this maybe that but they care enough to spend $300 million a year a year recent statistics from Jews from Judaism said it's $500 million a year so maybe it's 500 maybe it's 300 either way it's a lot just to go chase Jews and convert them to Christianity a half a billion dollars a year is being spent by the Christians that care about their false belief to get you and me to go pray to Yos why they care I go to people I tell them listen you say you have a business you make money you make 200,000 a year $100,000 a year $5 whatever you make why don't you give them oh yeah sure sure they go they start taking some change out some quarters is high high dollars High dollars high is high $18 give me m it's at least 400 it's 440 give me m where's your M no no it's too expensive it's too this it's too that why they don't care people don't care M they don't care M they don't care God runs the world and someone cares at the end and we're contining to grow we're continue to do good things is a new application coming out in the next few days there's more there's more there's enough people around the world that care to sum up to something but it breaks my heart every single day when I see what the Christians are doing versus what is is doing so when you ask a question of why are there so many Jews that are falling off the D reason number one very few people care very few people care if I was telling you right now listen guys we're going to have a kanuka party kanuka is coming up couple days we're gonna have a kanuka party I'm going to rent a hle we're gonna get s from all different types of chefs we're going to get this we're gonna get a singer Benny this guy and Benny that guy everyone singer I need to raise 95,000 I have no dat on my mind in 24 hours I raise 95,000 no doubt on my mind but if I tell you guys I can't lie can't lie for for things but there's against it can't do it if I was able to lie I would lie but you're not allowed to but if I told you guys I need to come up with the next CD series that we have right now needs at least 10 CDs just a series that we're already not even finished with needs 10 CDs meaning no less than a quarter million dollars forget it let's say I got a discount I got a matching donor I need a 100,000 let's say may take me months why no one cares but kanuka party 24 hours I get the money 24 hours you understand so first reason why the Christians are succeeding is because they care that's one two gave us Ten Commandments he gave us Ten Commandments he gave us 63 that stem from those Commandments if you look at the ramb he breaks down all of The Commandments he breaks down all of the rules says what this what that out of 613 rules 613 rules the fourth one fourth one says You must fear God fourth one you have 63 number four says You must first one is obviously he's the only God don't have idols and so on fourth one you must fear God this is in the 63 that's the Ten Commandments fourth one says You must fear God you have there's a mitvah out of the 613 mitzvah that you must have you must fear God meaning you think of God you're scared of you're scared to death when was the last time any of you attended outside of me attended or heard a about I'm saying aside from the common denominator of myself and M when was the last time you heard a unfortunately it doesn't exist forget about it's not come it just doesn't exist it ceased to exist it left Earth so why do people fall off they fall off cuz they don't fear God because they think that God is our friend he's our buddy he's like uh he gives us stuff when we're good he gives us stuff when we're not good he still gives us stuff because we're cute we're little babies so is a unfortunately a flaw in the system there's a flaw in the teaching we're not teaching the foundation of T which is fear of hem that's his treasure there a p in the Tora it says that hem considers he gave us he had two he had two things that were considered his treasure one of them was Shabbat the other one was he gave us Shabbat he has one left what is it no he has nothing left so that that's the thing that is missing we need people that care we need people that teach appropriately we need people that are obviously learn appropriately and unfortunately we need people to overcome their fakeness there is a in the T it says in their lips in their mouth and their lips they respected me they honored me but their hearts were far away from me people why he says plenty of people talk a big game plenty of people say oh no I'm gonna do chva oh no I'm gonna invest oh no I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this I'm gonna rain a lot of people talk very few people do so for example when you go for to for the holidays the secular and the religious donate money everyone donates money during during the holidays it's very rare that someone goes to B doesn't donate very rare babad wants to open a new place very rare for someone in the community not to donate ashkanazi shs have a fundraiser it's very rare that everyone doesn't donate very rare usually everyone donates why because each one of these organizations publicize the donate on their websites on the on the weeklys on the monthlies Oh Mr uh Smith donated a th000 he's in Star and Mr uh moscowitz donated 5,000 he's in two stars he's in silver he's in Gold he's in G he's in Gan he's in this one he's in that one everyone donated a certain one and they all get publicized so white people donate they don't donate because they care about the Sho they don't donate because they care they care about publicity it's like marketing you're a business you invest money in marketing right there's marketing for them everyone's going to see masz donated $20,000 because they're not going to say he donated 25,000 say he's part of the gold and everyone knows to being gold it's minimum 25,000 it's minimum 25,000 and they advertise it on the weekly and they advertise it on the monthly and they advertise it on the website and that also they come back to them the next year or the next month or the next quarter and say listen time's up for you to stay and star k over there you have to keep going another 25,000 so now he has to maintain now it's like peer pressure and it keeps going it keeps going it keeps going for why because people donate not because they care about hem they care about their own name they talk and they even do but the heart is not forem they're not doing it forem donations like that have no they don't do much in the world they don't get people to do chuva the donations that get people to do chuva usually don't have publicity maybe you'll get an email thank you maybe maybe you'll get an email thank you other than that no one's going to know you still willing to do it I had a uh bunch of emails where I forgot to uh say thank you I usually try to say thank you people donate $5 $10 $1,000 whatever they donate they try to say say thank you but it takes a lot of time so I forgot whatever I had I know 3 months worth of donations that I forgot to say thank you and I sent it to people on Friday and uh one of the guys said oh wait a minute I'm sorry I don't think I just donated he thought that he I got a receipt for him donating now he donated like $100 or something like that because oh I think maybe somebody hacked my account because I didn't donate I'm like no no look at the date it's from I don't know September or something like that it's a while back but forgot to say thank you so thank you so thank you for remind me and he sent me another $500 why he appreciated to thank you this is going to help people it's GNA help but you just see just even a simple thank you is going to motivate people to do things it's just our it's our the question is how many thank yous do you need to open up your wallet the question is how many how many signs from Hashem do you need to car about your fellow Jew you don't have to give anything you just need to care come here to raise money I came here to explain to you guys you want to help you want to help the religious ones you want to help the non-religious ones you want to help care that's it care how do you care pray for them learn for them arrange shim for them bring him to shim give him the the CDs don't tell them I told you so don't make them feel bad about where they're at just care if you care hasm will do the rest if you don't care what are we even talking about in my mind now is why would hasem allow the to be so extra stronger on us to allow this floor in the system to happen and prevent so many Jewish people from caring as much I understand we have to have a strong why let it be so strong system happen and and affect us so much but so few of us care or marginally care if at all well the reality is is that just like you have a strong you have a strong so thear says that some people are created Wicked some people create Wicked when mosenu before he became mosu he was a prince in Egypt but he knew he was a Jew he knew he was part of am but he was still sitting in a kingdom over there and he saw that par every day is slaughtering little babies little Jewish babies killing them why he wanted their blood because his necromancers told them you need to bathe in baby blood and that's how you're going to get a cure that's the Cure so every day M was see these babies get murdered and then aside from that you see that the evil Egyptians they were so evil when they saw that the Jews didn't build fast enough they didn't have enough rocks they take one of the kids one of their kids they put them instead of the rock little babies usually so mosenu cried to Hashem awful awful thing says hm let me save one why you killing all these babies Hashem says no they're all evil babies they all have evil from previous they all terrible babies so there's a few streams that this goes into why who what when and how and so on there's also a uh person that it stems from he saves one baby named mik which ends up being a r that helps the uh the the the golden calf but we're not going to go there today we're going to go a different rout M says what do you mean is evil babies what do these babies do they you know what do they what do they know ABA IMA they don't even know yet what do the baby know it says because the baby is no such thing as baby no such thing as baby baby is just a body your has been here a long long time and sometimes the N made so many sins in the previous life that it comes into this world already with a huge that's more inclined to make certain sins sex crimes a type of things uh money uh all murder whatever all types of terrible things ask so how could hasem do this I mean we're already fighting with our hands tight behind our back so no no absolutely not meansem is merciful means that as big as the that that has it also has a that could overcome it no one comes into this world not able to be meaning that at the end of the day you're still left with a choice all of us have a choice there's no such thing as why is our so strong we can't do it no such thing as we can't do it that's actually to think that hem created the world where we're bound to fail it's there's no such thing meaning that when told to say that the Torah is in your lips is in your heart it's in their lips it's in their heart to do what do you mean the is already there the is also there but don't worry you have the strength to overcome it you have the you have the strength there's no question about it you have the strength now why do so many people not overcome it that's always been the case there's always been there's always been Wicked people there's always been people that have failed the only difference difference today is that we live it we live in a time that we see it much more than any other generation there's media there's more there's more different things but there's always been in the world either way the only thing we can worry about today is what's in front of us the image that's in front of us when we look in the mirror and the people that are in front of us then we we look beyond the mirror that's the only thing we could we could we could do anything about if we have the ability to help them we help them but as far as a difficult generation of course of course it's difficult generation the already said it's going to be a difficult generation why because in order for you to be saved at the time of mashia you have to be an extra high level an extra high level why do you have to be an extra high level because again since this is in essence the last generation this is the last generation if you will that means that you've been here I've been here all of us have been here the most amount of times meaning we're the losers from all the generations we're the ones that have made the most mess ups throughout all of the generations and this is what we have left not all of us are going to have an opportunity not all of us can some of us of course can many of us of course all of us not necessarily not necessarily so to complain about the circumstances is not going to help anyone to a homeless guy complaining about money is not going to help him become rich what's going to help him become rich get a job what's going to help somebody become sadik learn toah do what hasem says complaining about the circumstance is not going to help anyone it's difficult of course but there's also just as much as there's difficulty there there's help from heaven so sometimes you see m Open Miracles you see somebody do chat you see open Miracles I always tell people the amazing story about some of my B chuv that uh literally they have a difficult time doing chuva in the beginning because it usually requires a big step and every time they take the big step something big happens every single time never fails every single time one guy said I don't know what to do I need to learn but there's no place to learn there's no place this there's no place that all different types of complaints he's like listen I watch your sh online it's good but I need a place to go there learn and pray and so on but there's nothing here M 24 hours 24 hours after he complained to me about all the terrible circumstances that he's living in and how it's hard to do me now it's hard to learn and how how how how how how the next day he got an email from somebody hey by the way there's a coral opening next door to you so you get from Heaven if hasem knows you're real if hasem knows that what's in your heart is legit if you're a liar and you're just lying to somebody else then obviously nothing's going to happen to you other than bad things so that's that's the thing we need to understand yeah get what she saying totally We Are Who We Are we've been here forever a million times having said all that and yeah then it makes me think of Jeremiah he wrote okay so what made him write that knowing all this he still wrote Lamentations and he lamented over it nonetheless Ken just because you see people that are wicked doesn't mean you hate them the also says that when was uh very upset at these Pim these criminals that would torture him every day he start praying for them to die and buah his wife told him don't pray for them to die Hashem hates the sin not the sinner you should pray for them to do chuva and that's what he did he prayed for them to do chuva and they all ended up doing chuva so in essence we learned from him we learned from Jeremiah we learned from others that Hashem doesn't hate the Sinners he hates the sin itself so when despite the fact that Hashem has to punish his people despite the fact that when am is sins Hashem must be when you say am it stands for a God that's a king that's a uh reliable meaning that whatever he said he's going to deliver whatever he said he's going to deliver he said there's going to be reward and Punishment it's going to be reward and Punishment regardless of what you like it or not that's why he says I didn't change you did I didn't change I said there's reward for keeping Shabbat you'll get a reward for keeping Shabbat I said there's punishment for violing Shabbat you get a punishment for violing Shabbat I said there's a reward for being into married for not being inter married for having a a kosher marriage you get a reward for kosher marriage I said you're going to get punished for into marriage you're going to get punished for into marriage and so on and so forth when a person understand that there is a reward and Punishment system he understands that hasem has to punish simple as it gets now the the depth of the dean of the judgment is something that's beyond human comprehension and the reason why there's a verse that says come to also means accounting math what does it mean say is that when someone gets to Sham they have a shock of their life what's the shock of their life everyone that had a near-death experience always talks about how their bu the the embarrassment they had in sh was the worst part was worse than G it said some of the recent most recent one that that came out a woman that died and came back to life she said she went to Sham and the embarrassment she had was worse than the Gom they showed us she said I prayed for them to put me in G why is this embarrassing why what's this embarrassment about is because we have no understanding of thead the depth of the de what's the depth of the de we think that hashem's accounting is like our accounting that we do something good we get good we do something bad we get bad that's our counting meaning like little you know five-year-olds can figure it out fiveyear olds can figure out good you get good bad you get bad good you get candy bad you get I don't know slap in the face right that's what we think that's what we think says I don't think like you what's what's what's come to accounting says in that book something amazing he says the is the scariest part scarier than G What's So Scary he says when you get up to sh they're not only going to look at the good and the bad they're going to look at what you could have done with the time you spent on the bed now you spent an hour making some sin you went to some Club you went to some Pub you watched a baseball game you watch to this first thing they're going to do they're going to punish you for the sin you made then they're going to punish you for the time you spent making the sin they're going to punish you for the time then they're going to punish you for what for all the missed opportunities of mitv that you could have done with that time he says when you go into the math of how they analy your time in sh he says it's embarrassing beyond belief why because for the little bit of mitv that you get here and there you do mitvah here and there even by accident you do Mitzvah hasem shows you all the reward he gave you look he went to the Beet not only did he get a a reward for praying he got a reward for going to the besset he got a reward for thinking about the besset he got a reward for bringing his friend to the besset even though his friend was on the way he got so many rewards for the mitvah it also works the same thing for the that's the embarrassing part the embarrassing part is they show you what you could have done with the time and what happens in sham is they say you ask yourself to be punished you yourself ask AEM hasm I don't deserve anything good look at all the things I did with my time send me send me punish me I deserve you sign off yourself you ask to go to G you call yourself you are you call yourself you sign yourself you sign yourself in why from the it's better to go you say yourself in sh say it's better to go to this awful place than to continue dealing with this bu this this humiliation of how you went against hem when he gave you everything that's and that's even even not even 1% of really what it is because we can't understand it so my dear friends the key is to understand is that we all have a lot of work we all have an enormous amount of sacrifice if you think you're doing enough you haven't attended enough sh if you think that you're okay and everyone else is not you haven't learned anything yet there's a lot for all of us to do but it all starts with caring you have to first care about yourself first you fix yourself first you start learning yourself all the things you need you have to lead by example you can't be and expect your family to start keeping Shabbat because of you you can't be so materialistic and expect your your kids to become it's never GNA happen it's never GNA happen never ever ever in history why because ab and IM are number one if AB and IM materialistic the kids are going to become materialistic that's it they're just a mold of you that's it it's a little it's a little version of you kid cannot be not materialistic if all abaa care about is a car and the house and the vacation and the watch and the jewelry and a this and a that if if ABA all they care about that if that's what revolves their life that's what the kids are going to be don't expect anything different don't be surprised when your kid doesn't even want to go to when your kid doesn't want to go to school why he wants to go to Wall Street with you he wants to go to the real estate he wants to go to jewelry what ABA my teacher makes $50,000 a year why do I even want to deal with somebody like this he's not like you ABA that makes so much money I want to learn from you I'll go learn from your job so if you're materialistic don't expect anything otherwise from your kids so that means you have to work on yourself second thing is you have to care you have to care enough about the people around you to fix yourself for it and to also to help them and little by little all of these things add up but remember you're going to be tested it's not going to be easy and the common denominator as far as the tests is usually with money and the reason why is because said at the end of days the biggest problem is going to be the god of money the god of silver the god of gold but KF also means money why that's that's the of this generation you're going to have a serious problem to deal with you the way that you're going to overcome a huge part not of it but a huge part of your is by caring less and less about money it doesn't necessarily mean that you become broke it means that if Hashem gave you the gift of money you have to use it for something good if Hashem didn't then you have to use your time for good either way you'll have different obstacles different tests to deal with different tests to deal with you have to overcome these tests that's that's really what it comes down to you have to overcome the the tests that's how you get to higher levels I have one guy I think I told the story one time maybe a year or two ago one guy liked was doing chuva liked the you know tah and so on fell in love with it and so on and um I was talking to someone I know and uh tell him listen you know we should uh he was trying to raise money for some you know maybe rais a few no and he heard some other guy wanted to donate a another guy's father died he wanted to donate a t and he said listen he was willing to do uh it was going to cost him 25,000 and the guy that liked that was doing says listen we both know that every has plenty of we don't need another seph in the world let's take the 25,000 and tell them I'll be he doesn't even know the other guy he says you just heard the story from the from the rabbi goes tell this guy I'll chip in I'll put $5,000 of my money he's already G planning on spending 25,000 I'll now spend 20 and we'll give it to we'll give it to people learn T and I'll be partners with him in the mitzvah for his for his father's sake he wants to do something for his father I'll donate $5,000 for his father's sake I don't even know the guy why because he like tell me so much the guy that wanted to do the T was insulted why was he insulted he's like who this guy to offer me $5,000 I don't $5,000 he had some money the guy he was insulted that somebody wants to chip in on his mitvah he was also insulted that his seph idea wasn't the best mitvah idea and he said you know what I'm not gonna do it I'm just gonna do my own thank you very much now the guy that like the decided that you know what he was so upset set that no one wants to give money to the he says you know what I'm going to do it the Rabbi says what do you mean you're going to do it $25,000 you going to do by yourself out of nowhere I'm going to do it tell set it up I'm going to do it I'm gonna send you 25,000 what are you going to get it well that's all I have what do you mean it's all you have it's all I have I have it back $25,000 I'm GNA give you $25,000 why you give 25 give less no no no no I already said in my mind it's going to be $25,000 I'm giving you 25,000 and that's what he did that's what he did he give $25,000 now sometimes we see reward in the next world most of the time sometimes we see reward in this world who knows but for my knowledge to my knowledge maybe I know this was a few years ago a few years of past the guy actually he liked so many but you think the guy was a businessman he wasn't a but something happened after he gave the money his brain open up [Music] became he actually knows some tor knows a lot of Torah how hasem pays who knows all I know is that he passed the test that you and I probably can't pass point is is that every one of us is going to have different test different obstacles different mountains thear says that at the end you know when everyone sees mashia shows up theim are going to see a mountain the are going to see a little tiny little Hill and both of them are going to cry so they see a mountain and start crying see a little tiny little Hill like a step and they start crying why they crying why is everyone crying say see a mountain of all the obstacles they overcame say this is all I had to overcome to finally see Mas look how hard it was big mountain of different tests obstacles money girls this that look what all the things I have to overcome see I made it I made it you start crying from excitement start crying from excitement they see a little tiny little Hill what one little mitvah they couldn't do they couldn't keep Shabbat they didn't feel like even starting they couldn't keep Shabbat they couldn't keep they couldn't leave the girl they couldn't leave the guy one tiny little thing they didn't even start there was no mountain they weren't even willing to start Chua he says look if you would have just started your chuva with that one step with that one donation with the one girl that you had to leave with the one guy you had to leave with the one thing one test I gave you one tiny little mountain I gave you you would have seen mashia one thing you would have done because I would have helped you with the rest of the way I would have helped you with the rest of the way would helped you just a little bit of a little bit of caring just a little not a lot a little just a little bit you didn't do now look is Mas first and last time you going to see him now I have to punish you and that's why the same book same Prophet says that is g to use the sun to punish the and also heal the same son why hasem takes the Sun out of its Nar its shell and burns them the sadik became fire himself meaning son and him in essence become the same thing it heals them says that it's a someone that's is he becomes fire himself so the sun is good for him so if you overcome the test if you overcome the obstacles you become sadik you don't have to be know all the Torah by heart and so on just need to care a little bit a little bit of caring you care a little more today a little more tomorrow a little more the next day study a little a little more and so on and so forth little by little Hashem is going to take you up the big mountain you don't jump from the bottom to the top in one shot but you do something consistently eventually it works but if you're not even willing to start if you're not willing to even overcome one test you're not even willing to come to sh on a regular basis you're not even willing to do this you're not willing to do things that are making you uncomfortable because you're so used to the rest of your life being comfortable what are we wasting each other's time for just be Hitler and that's it forget at least you enjoy one world seriously if you're it doesn't make any sense it doesn't make any sense if you know the truth why not go all the way at least try try something you know hasem exists you know Hashem runs the world try it doesn't hurt it's not that difficult it's not that difficult you just got to it's it's m it's in your lips it's in your heart to do just like M said we're going to have another sh on Tuesday night uh in Aventura different topic not really sure yet whether it's going to be about kanuka or continuation of our because that's alsoa so make sure to light the candles before the sh also remember that kanuka is an extra extra religious holiday it's not just about s it's not just about Donuts okay there's a uh there's a special for anyone that has problems with their eyes anyone that has problems with their eyes is a special Gul to look at the candles the whole time you have to look at the candles in general you have to look at them for a half hour you have to look at you have to don't do anything don't do any the whole of kanuka is not just lighting the candles doesn't need your candles the whole is to stop everything stop your TV if you have TV still stop your phone stop the computer stop everything just sit there with the family and look at the candles sit there with the family and look at the candles play with the uh little Civ eat some donuts but sit there by the candles nothing else no nothing else no phone shut off your phone throw it on in the ocean enough for half hour at least for a half hour shut off the world no texting hey EMA look at our candles hey EMA look at no no no EA nothing whoever is there is there whoever is not next year enjoy the half hour with the family enjoy the half hour with think about tell the kids the stories what happened why are we why do we have these candles ABA why do we have these candles IMA what are we doing here is it just because hm likes oil if he likes oil why don't we do a uh big Med not just a little one put the whole oil turn the whole house into fire like California what is he likes oil what what happens what's the whole party about what's the donuts what hasem owns the Dunkin Dunkin Donuts why why do we have all this what's the point tell people the story what happened but also again there's a special zul for people that have problems with their Vision to look at the um at the uh candles the whole time look at not obviously don't hurt yourself but you know from a distance you look at the candles the whole time it says that it's supposed to improve your vision G no promises that's what I heard from and this is what it's supposed to work uh aside from that each night don't forget you have to light it uh the key is to try to light it to the place where many people are going to see it today not uh the houses don't necessarily allow for it to happen because most of the windows have Windows treatment so you know you have to remove everything from the way or the doors are not always glass and so so you have to figure out a way where the most amount of people are going to see it some people even light it right outside the door they have like something covering it so the wind doesn't blow it away and depends but try to have it in a place where the most amount of people including yourself are going to see it in order to publicize the Ness in order to publicize the miracle but try to make a big deal out of it for many many years I know for myself my kanuka was like a little homeless kanuka you like the Hanukah candles all right see you later finished mitvah done I light it one two three four five eight candles whatever it is thank you very much give me a donut see you guys later I'm going back to work I'm going back to life I'm going back to whatever it is that's like a little homeless kanuka if you understand the significance of kanuka you read the midashim you read all the stories you read what really happened over there you have to understand that hanuka is an ultra religious holiday not just religious Ultra religious because the whole fight the whole battle was about amuna the whole battle was about the smallest tiniest the tiniest thing where the real religious Jews were not willing to give it up it was standing up for the truth when it hurt the most putting everything on the line for just basic things they could have lied about basic things they could have gotten away with basic things why you have to stand up for the truth at some point so when you understand the significance of kanuka it turns into KES kashim and that's the reason why made sure to put it in a place where it's the at the end of all the of the all the big holidays all that is considered like the last one why you finish at the high some consider it higher than all of them some consider it higher than all of them why look what we F about look what we thought about so when you start thinking you read all these different things you learn about kanuka you learn all these different things it carries more weight and that's what I tried explaining all the guys last night a few of them really were uh influenced by it I told the reason why none of you raised your hand to say that you want to be a is because none of you actually understand the value of your Torah studies most of you think you're just studying you're learning a book you read a few lines you remember something things you don't remember a few things no one cares no one knows whatever you pass your test finished you don't understand the value of what you're doing you don't understand that each each word you read in the Tor is multiple MIT it creates worlds it create does a lot of things that you can't see you don't understand the significance of you learning T you don't understand as a Jew learning T you have no idea the power that's brought to this world from you reading just one basic this is why our many parts of the come from the why to obligate us to learn something to say the that in essence give the world a reason to exist it gives the world life now if I took a piece of Little Rock and I threw it to you guys most likely no one will grab it most likely Just Let It Drop and see what happens why it's a rock if I took a little rock I just threw it on the table or at the end of it no one would really care there's like why is this guy throwing rocks in the house not his house now before I threw the rock told you hey guys I just found this and uh it said it came with a receipt $100 million it's a uh I don't know 100 karat de flawless diamond it's worth $100 million and I just went like this forget I threw it before I even before I left my hand all of you are jumping on Me on the diamond on the everything killing punching stabbing what what what happened it's a rock either way it's a rock what happened now you know the value now you know the value it either way it was a rock but now you know the value that's what tamim didn't know they were studying T they didn't know the value when you understand that the value of your Torah is keeping the world alive something changes when you understand that the value of your liud is changing the world something changes when you understand that your chuva is significant gives hem a reason to keep the world alive something changes when you understand that you sacrificing a fight with your wife because you want to help her do chva something changes when you understand the significance of what you're doing you're going to care more you're going to do with more passion you're going to do with more more feeling behind you're say hey do this do this do this you're going to start yelling at people just to do stuff why because you know this has to get done so if I wanted to get done I have to tread carefully I have to do this I have to do this I have to do this I have to take this step that step you have to do different things you have to be clever why because you care about the execution you care about it actually happening if you don't care you just throw it in the air just to make sure it gets to the other end and if it doesn't big deal but when you care oh you know what if I throw it this way it's not good if I throw it that you know what let me just walk it over let me just get it there let it's going to take longer it's going to be harder it's but I'll get there when you understand the value of your chv your your conversion your whatever you're doing that for you understand the value of it everything changes the key is for us to understand the value of each and every single one of our MIT it starts with a simple not so simple holiday like kanuka most people think it's just about lighting some candles eating some donuts and you're finished it's as far from the truth as it can be it's very very different than that kanuka is a holiday for the most religious people in am is why that's the only ones that survived all the ones that were secular all the ones that were materialistic died killed all of them this holidays for people that stuck to Hashem when it was most difficult that's the people are going to survive mhia comes so if you care you're going to learn about it if you care you're going to figure out how could I be like this what could I do what happens if mashia comes am I ready am I not ready he's not ready I'm not ready no one's ready okay let's get ready next week we bring more people Tuesday more people Wednesday we'll have another shoe in aventor different place more people keep trying don't give up keep learning and we'll have a lot of a lot of every one of us will have a great week all [Music] [Applause] [Music] he [Music]
