[Music] Everyone likes the miracle stories you don't get Miracles without you don't get Miracles without putting your actual life on the line Miss sacrificing yourself for the honor of the Torah there's no Miracles without it that's what people fail to understand people think oh no no I'm going to go to this Rabbi he's a this he's a that he's okay what what's what's he's why why is he special what did he do that's so special oh he wrote a book so what many people wrote books oh he has the Yeshiva so what many people have yeshivas so what what's the big deal about him did he sacrifice himself did he do anything special what's special about him if you don't know then you have to ask you can't just automatically assume certain things I know for example somebody asked me the other day about uh RAB Pinto RAB pin and and a lot of people always ask the how they succeed I mean aside from the dealing with with health and law and so on is is is succeeded in a big way my R told me once he said I've always asked myself you know everybody has certain to to succeed but how did he succeed there's always a reason it's always like one thing that you did that Ah that's it what' you do studying a lot of people study read a lot of people read write a lot of people write all these things people do what was your someone came and said one time you know I'm not jealous of the uh RAB that he wrote the I'm jealous of the mitvah that he did before he wrote the to know how he get the Merit to write the you have to do something you don't just one day I'm going to write that all of is going to abide by this book That's the Law just because what you have a brain a lot of people have brain is very smart what' you do what's the you should knowto if you're learning from him directly it's a different story if you're learning from somebody else that says he's connected to him I can't vouch for that I could say him him himself when he first started before he was the famous Rabbi Pinto before anybody knew who he was he had he started the a uh little col few people and one day he didn't have money what have money he didn't my money to pay the pay the students pay the he came to his wife said okay we're putting our house for sale why to pay the that's M you can put your house on sale to pay most people just say I'm sorry I can't pay you I'll come up with the money I'll pay you down the road but I can't continue this you're not going to sell your house you're not going to sell your house for strange people it's not your kids strange people or at least oh listen I don't have the money I'll go I'll go borrow I'll go this I'll go do something I don't have it now no no sold the house that's people have no concept of what means people think that just because they got a flat tire that's or because they they gave a $100 out of their $5,000 salary that's is putting your life on the line making yourself uncomfortable I always told people in the business world if you ever want to succeed already make it a rule in order to be comfortable you must become uncomfortable if you want to be comfortable you have to be willing to become uncomfortable first if you're looking to be comfortable you'll never be comfortable you have to be will to take risks so the Baba Sali was willing to put everything on the line 100 years ago scho Goldman was the fourth admo this is isos that ran away from cavod in any way shape or form one time there was a uh famous drunk non-jewish drunk in the area in zil that uh broke into a Jewish house on Friday night broke into the house saw that there's there wine helped himself started eating theot started drinking the wine as you would have it he choked on Thea and died the B came to the house after and he couldn't open the door because this uh this drunk Stefan was blocking the door the body was blocking the door after him and his wife pushed the door really really hard they open the door they see dead body in the house now it's not like today somebody in America sees a dead body in the house they call 911 they come they investigate it's not you there's DNA there's private investigator Salah Shalom good luck we're sorry for the disturb you we're sorry you had they tell you we're sorry you have a dead body in your house we're sorry that he you know oh they tell you it's karma they blame karma for it oh see he stole from you see Karma killed him whatever karma is fine in those days it wasn't like this you guys are living in ganeden we're living in ganeden right now we have religious freedom we could say what we want you could talk against the government if you want you could do whatever you want back then if a not if a Jew had a non-jew die even next to him immediately they blame all the Jewish people they start killing Jews needless to say if the non-jew is dead in the house say ah see blood lials they called it ah you see the Jews are killing the non-jews again so they can use their blood for their matah that's what they think this is a legitimate thought people to this day believe this it's not like from 100,00 years ago it's right now they believe it right now today it's not as it was back then but back then R saw a dead body in his house he said all of that lives over here is in danger forget about me and my wife in danger he goes and he runs to the R's house is in danger Friday night we need your help we need your help no no Mak what do you want what happened for Stefan's in my house he's dead the famous drunk he's dead in my house without thinking twice the r says one second he goes he goes to his bowl of chant takes a spoon takes some chant out he gives it to ra says go feed him no no no he's dead exact go feed him no no for the you're not understanding he died he died so he can't eat do what I said what do you do you ask him again he didn't ask he okay twice enough he left he goes to his house now Stan's mouth closed now once a dead person closed their mouth generally their whole body changes once a person dies the body becomes Stone so to open his mouth was not uh not so easy finally opens his mouth finally he's he gets to a point he says Stefan open your mouth already Stefan opens his mouth he puts the spoon of the Reb's chulent he sees Stefan get up not say anything walk away he starts following him he says what's going on over here starts following him where's he going he goes back to wherever he came from and dies dies but he doesn't die in Jewish home as soon as this story happened schin left and went to and stayed there for the rest of his life because he knew that after such a story you would get too much kod you get too much honor so much honor that he ran away from it Miracles he could perform honor he couldn't deal with now people love such stories that's why they think today there's maybe some rabbis in the world that can make such Miracles I'm sure there is but we don't know who they are but what people don't like to hear about is how do you get to that level okay nice thank you very much for the nice story some people believe it some people don't believe it it's their problem I don't care about what people believe or don't believe it makes no difference to me this is a story you want to believe believe you don't believe don't believe question is how do you get there is it oh it's nice stories basali loved everyone no no no he told everyone you go to public school you're dead what about him one timeoin saw that people were getting too secular why were they getting too secular because the Kila was controlled by rich people so he said from now on anyone who's aat or has a child that's is not allowed to get Ali in AR no more you want to come pray pray but you cannot get an Aliah if you have aab in your house even if you're yourself keeping Shabbat you have a son that's not keeping Shabbat you have a daughter that's not keeping Shabbat you cannot get an Aliah in why it's your fault it's your fault your son or daughters it's not their fault they saw from you that sports are number one so they made Sports number one on Shabbat they saw from you that business is number one so they made business on Shabbat they saw from you that Hashem is not important so hashm is not important anytime so is not important on Shabbat either the child is a replica of the parents that's just a reality you want to have good kids work on your midot you want to have little Hitlers don't work on your that's the way it is people are Comm no no I have bad kids no no you're a bad parent I have bad kids no no the kids are replica of you just look in the mirror that's the kid you scream they scream you're angry they're angry you're cheap they're cheap you are their role model every normal child until they get to adulthood their only opinion are going to be what does aba think if they see the rabbi of the school taking his job seriously they're going to like it but if they come home and they see ABA not taking the Torah seriously they're gonna say ah the rabbi's a fool the rabbi is a fool he's just doing it because of his job he's doing because he's making money he's not doing because he really believes because if he really believed if what he was saying was true then of course IM and ABA would do it also there's no way that IMA and Aba are making a mistake there's no way that IMA and ABA are not taking god seriously if God was really serious no way there's no way that the rabbi knows but IM AB don't know there's no way so the kid is always going to follow IM and ABA if you're sending a kid to Yesa but at home he's secular you might as well don't send him anywhere it's the same thing in fact it may be worse it may be worse why because kids that go go to schools where the schools are Yesa and the house is secular many times from my experience I've seen them become they become Heretics completely why because now they think of Judaism as a complete joke at least a kid that went to public school and his parents were public and the school was public it was the same no one knows no one cares when he saw religious people yeah it's okay they're different people whatever they are he's no connection but he has no disrespect to them most of the time the ones that go off the de and become real Heretics are the ones that had mix they had a mix so parents always surprised I have bad kids you don't have bad kids you're bad you're parent you're a parent you're bad it's your fault as hard as it is to hear it's a reality it's a reality this is why when someone came to a couple came to right after they had a kid said we need parent advice how to be good parents the Rabbi says Shalom you're late no no no the kid was just born two months ago with this that the other thing he's only two months old he goes yeah exactly you're late no no he was born two months ago no no maybe the rabbi's old he doesn't hear well he was just born two months ago for he says exactly you're 20 years late why 20 years late for the why why 20 years late first you want to be good parent you have to educate yourself you want your kids to love hem you have to educate yourself first you can't expect your kids to do something you're not willing to do you can't expect your kids to be modest if you're walking around with a mini skirt or with tight clothes that everyone knows the SK doesn't tell the difference between your skin and the clothes you cannot expect your kids to love AEM when all you talk about is business at home you cannot expect your kids kids to care about Torah when all you talk about is the entrepreneurs of the world and who's on the news and who's the president and who's running next and the Democrats and the Republicans and this one and that one and all theot of this world and once in a blue moon on Friday it's like you're doing God a favor son give us a and even when he's telling you to you're not really listening but you want to look good to the guest that your kid said a it's much a joke people fool themselves and then they're surprised when we see in the par says he killed 80% of oh maybe maybe he stringent I never heard this before he had bad teachers then what can I tell you it's not my fault you didn't hear before it's what it says look at Rashi it's not some cabala look at Rashi Everyone likes no no but I like the I like the cabala stuff I like the mystical stuff so there's a story it's going to put all this cabala nonsense that people fool themselves with to rest hopefully if they understand the meaning of the story the entire cabala the entire mystical aspect of the Tor from that section of the Tor from comes from 2,500 years ago now we didn't really understand much until the Aral came the arel came and he gave us M uncovered he took the veil off and gave us amazing he had some students and he asked the students go give me the cabala commentary on the the itself has an enormous amount of mystical parts to write commentary on aab on on thear is an extraordinary thing to do he tells the students I want commentary on they come back with 10 volumes of books just on a couple of not on the the have been a library just 10 10 TR 10 uh huge books 10 volumes just in a couple of M couple of tractates he says we think somebody's GNA read all this oh you got to minimize it so people gonna read it people gonna see it they're G to read 10 volumes for every two you gonna have 10 volumes no one's GNA read it the Real Genius the Real Genius is to say the most amount of information and the least amount of words that was that's the definition of genius that's how you know if someone is smart in today's books by the way you know all these fiction non-fiction this book that book it's all why the entire book can be written in three pages the whole book can be written in three pages why they sell you 500 pages why the five because you're not going to pay 20 bucks for 500 pages for for three pages but for 500 pages it looks it looks important wow it must be saying something special 500 pages in reality the whole message you can say in three pages most of the books today complete in anything in all topics especially non-religious so says to his students you have to minimize it okay they minimize it not enough they minimize it not enough they minimize it not enough eventually they minimize it something tiny small ah perfect unfortunately it's not a what do you mean cabala yes it's also exactly the same as rash what do you mean Rashi already wrote exactly the same words Rashi wrote the same words 500 years before you people think Rashi is like for fifth grader people think it's for little kids they don't realize the wisdom of Rashi the ran Shalom said what Rashi did for the give commentary I can do why because it's intellect it's wisdom what he did as far as commentary on the Kash I can't do why that's KES same generation says ramban says rashes it's not it's not from this world so why why did you continue why did you continue ramban also made a commentary on the Torah he says you read the preface you read the beginning of his commentary on the Torah he says I'm sorry he's apologizing I'm sorry I'm not worthy to write commentary that is great or even at the level of the people that came before me but I can't help it I love the tah and I must include my commentary he's a oliz pretty commentary but the that he wrote all but people are like no no no I'm going to go to cabala Center no no I'm going to go learn cabala I'm going to go learn mystical Torah do you know how to keep Shabbat do you know how to uh keep family Purity do you know how to be a decent human being you got to conduct business honestly how to borrow money honestly how to lend money hon honly how to give honestly do you give or you still thinking maybe you don't have enough money to give you're still one of those people that thinks that Mel doesn't doesn't apply to you it applies to everyone else except you hasem says no you you're excluded it's okay it's okay you make too much money to give M you make too much money it's not Mas is only for poor people it's only for poor people that make 500 bucks a week they give Mas it's easy for them it's only 50 bucks you my son you make $25,000 a month you can't get M you're crazy it's too much myself is only for poor people so now the question is how get to such a point of being a miracle worker of mamash Reviving The dead how do you get to such a point why is it because his father was such or his mother was such no when he heard that the rich people are controlling the community and he said rich people if you have if you're not keeping Shabbat if your children are not keeping Shabbat we're not giving you alot we're not letting you have an Aliyah in those days by the way an Aliyah was very important today it's important but not as it was a 100 years ago today you get an Aliah if you don't get it today you'll get it tomorrow it's not such a big deal in those days the Big M the big debates would be oh how come you didn't give me the third one the third Aliyah was the most significant people will debate oh he got the third I got the fourth I got the big big Bagan then they said no no no really it's the sixth one is the most important and really Al it's the third but they said no it's the sixth one so then they said at least they're going to argue only after the sixth one they're not going to argue right away so but they said oh but he got six and he got seven he got thisin says if you don't keep Shabbat no Aliyah for you your kid doesn't keep Shabbat no Aliyah the rich people says don't give us Aliyah we don't care don't give us Aliyah keep your Aliyah oh no problem schin says he went to the water to the people that run the water water companies not like today you open you turn on a fountain water comes out he knows that you have to buy water he goes to the people running the water company he says from now on you're not selling water to the rich people for the love they're the number one customers they take showers every day they uh you know they buy extra they have parties they have get togethers that's the number one customer we're going to lose money it's 50% of the profits 50% of the business because you're not allowed to send the water why there's no the money don't worry about the money I promise you I will pay half of any losses you have I'll vouch for it how much money does he have nothing nothing why he doesn't he have anything he's 24 years old right now he's no one knows who he is the rich people continue do you want to sell us water we'll buy from the green buy from somebody else we don't need your waterin says okay you still don't want to do CH fine anyone toat or has a child we not bearing anyone of that family in a Jewish cemetery not allowed to talk to them not allowed to talk to them at that moment that was the straw that broke the camel's back many of the rich people came and said okay okay fine fine we'll do okay water we can get from the green Al we don't really care too much we're not even keeping what do we care about but I don't want to be B it's disrespectful for us to be buried with a okay except one guy except one guy one guy says take your Cemetery take yourish take what I don't care not doing Chua who's this guy the richest one of Allin came to him and he says you have to do chuva you have to do cha you have to make sure that your kid keep Shabbat he says I'm not doing nothing who are you don't tell me what to do he says listen I promise you if you don't do chuva you're going to pay for it you're going to suffer goes what are you going to do to me he say You're Gonna suffer if you're not going to do cha you're GNA suffer test me day later his son died he call he wants to geta to bury him we're not burying not keeping Shabbat when I bury him okay I'll find some I'll find the go to bury him go don't want to bury him either nobody wants to bury him he starts seeing his own son's body rot you start seeing a body rot you do chuva he calls the rabbi for whatever you want please bury my son he brought all of his kids back to Jewish school did CH everything worked outlin put his life on the line before he became a miracle worker he was willing to put his life on a line a lot of people have things to say about sill the SAT movement today is based on was is unfortunately some of his students broke off and are not really considered really a students like for example the that hug the Iranians on TV and burn Israeli flags and so on they say there is students but they're not connected to him at all in any way shape or form that all they are is a walking on the other hand was a isad if people needed Miracles if people needed anything he was available there was no uh there was no questions asked of whether it's possible or not the question was how fast can you get to R how can how how fast can you get to him one time is uh driver got into an accident and unfortunately killed a non-jew and he knew this meant trouble why theim didn't give us a trial as soon as a Jew killed a non-jew that's it we're killing all the Jews immediately they arrested him and they were planning on lynching him called the one of the Le one of the local um government members who was a lowlevel government member he said go free him he goes yeah listen I know you're important man but it's not my position I don't have I don't have that uh that position I'm not that high in in the food chain he goes from now on you are excuse me from now on you are five minutes later you got a phone call okay you got the position you're the new leader he went in Freedom when you're ish kados nature is only based on what you say why hem decides to change the world based according to you you don't get there without putting you don't get there one of the things that I heard is that uh it's actually in a few books maybe I don't know if people know this story or not there was a very rich guy that uh M wanted to go to war with him his name was ISO ISO inherited a very uh big meat business from his father and decided that money is more important than God decided to make the business not Kos food and decided to care less about Judaism in such an extent that he wanted to have a mixed dancing wedding now fact anyone who doesn't know mixed dancing according to Judaism according to the Torah is 100% gu what's g g is one of the three sins that it's better off you die and not sin it's better off if you die not sin there's three of them there is if someone tells you go kill another Jew I will kill you Die in that sin someone tells you go worship an idol I will kill you you die in not sin someone tells you go make a Sex crime go make G or will kill you Die in not sin G has different uh aspects of it it could be actual intimacy with the woman that's not your wife it could be intimacy with your own wife but at a time that you're not allowed to be with her it could be intimacy with a non-jew it could be an intimacy with a n with a uh a sibling but it also can be even touching a woman that's not your wife people think it's just the intimacy aspect of it it's sex it's not it's even touching so many people think that going to these mixed dancing weddings and bar mitzvah and celebrations is is fine what's the big deal everyone does it well the reality is is that there's an enormous amount of of sins in those places enormous amount of sins to such an extent that there was one time a woman that uh asked Shalom to please come and give her a blessing she's having a lot of problems he came to her and he sees the house she lived in he says multiple stories gave her a house as big as the White House multiple stories there's servants there's this there's that but the woman miserable crying and she says my husband left me my son's on drugs and my daughter is about to marry a non Jew what did I do for hasem to give me such a punishment he says again s goes I don't know what you did but these are some things that could have caused it your daughter you probably sent at the public school so she met Carlos at the public school your son you probably didn't send him to Yesa either so he met the drug dealer while he was doing something in the schoolyard and your husband maybe maybe you guys didn't keep you didn't really care about schlom you didn't care about t so you probably went to one of these mixed wedding dancing this mixed mixed dancing weddings and he met his girlfriend over there and then he married her she go Rabbi you a prophet that's EX exactly what happened he says I'm not a prophet but these are things that happened the daughter went to public school she met the N the kid had nothing to do no learning tah he met drugs the husband met some other guy's wife at a wedding and danc with her next thing you know he married her too these are real stories rabotai these are not fake stories so says to this is not going to happen it's going to happen says I'm going to have the mixed wedding dancing he has the he has the uh party they come tell the r for the he's having the party right now the Rabbi says we're going there now he goes to the party he says to the B he says listen I'm warning you I'm warning you shut down this party who are you what are you going to do to me I have all the money in the world I have all the protection in the world who are you little Rabbi who are you he said I'm warning you says what are you going to do he says all I could tell you is just like your business is you're going to be the guy says get out of here who are you he has his party unfortunately for him it was the last party he ever had why the next day he went to visit his business his jacket got caught in one of the machines and he became like his meat grinded you don't get to that level just by uh reading to people you don't get it it requires requires sacrifice you have to put yourself on the line telling people the truth [Music] [Applause] [Music]
