Animals, TIME, MaShiach, Esav, Gog UmaGog War, Evil Spirits, Prayer - STUMP THE RABBI (9)

[Music] we're here welcome everybody the numbers continue to grow yesterday at aventur we didn't have any chairs left we had 110 people 115 people today I think in the next 20 minutes we're probably not going to have chairs again so that you coming to learn Tor you're coming to learn Tor so uh the key is to ask you know the key on uh today shu is ask questions but um again a reminder is uh don't be in a hurry to leave we're here all night a lot of times people send me text messages after the sh and they uh tell me oh I have a question so I asked the question during a Sho oh but I left Why Oh I thought I only have to be for an hour no you can be here for three hours you can be till tomorrow if you want I'll stay here until you guys leave so uh don't be in a hurry to leave some guys here uh they look at exactly an hour you know it's 9:30 now 10:30 they they run out you don't have to run out it's okay same price if you stay for two hours you stay for three hours I can tell you this if I was in your shoes when I was your age I would never leave why because I had so many questions when I was when I was younger so many I still have a lot of questions but I had so many questions about the world about life about business about who is God why did God do this why did God do that I had so many different questions when I was a kid but I couldn't find anybody that would give me legitimate answers so when I finally found one by the time I found somebody that could actually give me legit answers I was already in my 30s which means that I had to wait 15 20 years to finally get some answers you guys have the opportunity to get the answers today any question you have but make sure it's a question that you actually care about not uh not just some uh riddle or some question just to see if I know question to see if something something you know question that matters to you maybe something that bothers you maybe something that uh the music the music the background music if you could put it on vibrate that would help okay put it if you could if you could do me a favor put it on vibrate put that oh okay um so yesterday last night last night for uh all of the guys and girls that left a little early um it's not a problem you leave after an hours no problem we still love you it's just that the people that stayed till later asked the their questions were better than is some of the questions that some of the young ladies asked last night unbelievable questions honestly I'm telling you I'm not telling you just because they ask tell some of the questions they asked made the whole sh 10 times better so it was worth it for them to stay and it's worth it for the people that watch the entire sh online that they stayed why because now they asked a few questions some of the questions help me do chuva some of the questions help them do chuva some of the questions that can help people on the internet do and guess what every single person that listens to those questions and then listens to the answers they get a mitvah not one mitzvah for every second for every s every word it's another Mitzvah another word another mitvah so those young girls that ask questions at the end of the sh after many people left they're going to benefit for eternity because of those extra few questions so it's worth it it's worth it today's today's sh is cated for questions mainly um I've brought a bunch of different books just in case anybody wants to see some of the things that we say want to see it in black and white I'm more than happy I don't have obviously all my books here but I brought a few books I figured that uh maybe some people like to see some things but uh also um we have another another raffle at the end of the night by our dear friends from ghoste another uh newer model of the Bluetooth headphones this one is thinner I think it's even more expensive I haven't used this one but apparently it's even better so if anybody wants to listen to with style you got one uh our dear friends at ghost tech make some really cool stuff and theim also they they like Tora they like to publicize not that many people in the world that care about hasem as much as they care about money most people care about money before hem and they only prayed to hm because they want hm to give him money so when you see that somebody cares about Hashem before they care about money that's a special Jew that's a special person sometimes they're not even Jewish sometimes people are not even Jewish but they care about am I have many many students that are not Jewish that are noahides they you know they keep the Torah that they're supposed to as non-jews and they support the Torah they support to in a very big way because they know that that's part of their mission also so tonight sh is a also going to be for a for and also Talia but Sarah Leana but Sarah Sarah but Lana uh David benri Doris but Jor um and the uh elisheva uh and also for for so with without further Ado please ask some questions in the back you guys had some good questions yesterday so maybe you want to start off today same price same price no anybody have questions you guys know everything already by now somebody hey the purpose of every single animal K everything is created for a purpose so a few places first in beginning of the Torah we learn that gave a job what was his job he told you name the animals you name the animals each animal now unlike us where we look at things and we just uh come up with something like somebody starts a company and decide you know what I'm going to call this company Google why because Google is a really big complicated number or some other guys say you know what I'm going to call this company Amazon why because he wants to represent that we have everything as if it's in the Amazon in Africa and he also also has a little cool little trick where you have a to z within the word Amazon and that's how people come up with names traditionally where it's based on something cool based on something that they connect to now was nothing in you know was we cannot compare ourselves to him first and foremost is because all of theot all of the souls that ever existed were inside him meaning he didn't have a single n like us he had all of the that exist today originally came from him so his wisdom his Beauty his size him himself in so many different ways was in comparison to US almost like not human it's very different he was so big and so beautiful and so powerful that the when he was first created the uh he was huge he was he reached the uh the clouds and uh says that his skin was like a diamond so when he would when he would he was appeared literally created like a like a Sun reflect like a sun and the malim never saw a human being before the Angels never saw a human being before so they thought maybe he's God in human form because they never saw such a beautiful thing like this but that's why hasem put him to sleep and took the rib and made made E from that and the malim right before they said kados kados kados because they thought he was God they saw he fell asleep ah okay he's not God so anyway hasem gave him a job one of his jobs was to use the wisdom that gave him to name every creature and the way he decided to name every creature is by simply looking at the creature he would know the essence of the creature he would know every single thing that has to do with this creature and what motivates this creature so for example he named the horse Seuss Seuss why Seuss Seuss comes from SAS SAS is to run run into battle and that's in essence the uh one of the biggest missions of a horse throughout most of the generations until the last century has been to be the war animal it's the only animal that runs into war whereas all of other animals run away from fire run away from war the the horse loves War that's his that's his Essence and the same concept goes uh you know with every other animal that he would name he' name it based on what was its Essence what was its purpose in the world and the and in many of the it talks about uh some of the uh things like you're saying as far as what is why this one was named this why this one was named that what is the purpose behind it another one is the the uh the ant says said he says to he writes in the book he writes he says go to the ant you lazy you lugard look at its ways and become wise so say what why am I going to go learn from an ant about not being lazy about being ambitious so says look the was created in order toach teach us about ambition order to teach us how to work hard because even though the ant doesn't have a very long long lifespan in the uh days of the San the uh the heads of the sanin were able to speak 70 languages now not like 70 languages like some people speak you know French English uh you know uh different dialects of Latin and so on no they spoke all of those languages but also they spoke the languages of the animals of the Trees of the demons and all other creatures so one time the they came to the ant and they spoke to the ant after they found that the house of the ant has 300 kilos of food they said listen ant how long do you live she the ant says six months says what about the other ants says six months all ants they live six months says yeah but the food that you have 300 pounds of 300 kilos of food is enough for 60 million years of life what do you have so much food for so the end says maybe hasem is going to decide to give me more time even though my grandfather died at six months my father died at six months my great-grandfather at six months this one everybody died at six months but maybe me I'm going to get more than six months meaning that the end doesn't think about like we where oh what do I get out of it maybe it's not going to work out maybe this maybe it doesn't do any calculations it has a purpose what's his purpose to work same thing that we learned also the say you could learn a lot of if we did not have the Tor we would have to learn our ethics from animals so for example the uh the trait of being clean the trait of being clean we would learn from cats cats are notoriously very clean animals you see them constantly licking themselves and cleaning themselves and every animal has a different thing that a person would learn from another part that we see in the Tora that part of the purpose that who used some of the animals in order for us to fulfill the mitv so the Z says that hem looked at the Torah as a blueprint and then he created Things based on it so he saw okay I have kosher laws in a tah so therefore I have to make kosher animals what you I can't make all animals kosher because then kosher would have insignificant would be everything be kosher so he has to make kosher animals and non kosher animals so the kosher animals if it's a uh if it's a um uh cow then it's a or if it's a cattle then it has to have two signs it has to have um split hooves and it has to chew its cud regurgitate its food if it only has one sign or no sign then it's not Kosher so for example a lion doesn't have any signs doesn't have split hooves and it doesn't chew its cud a cow has two signs it has split hooves and it chews its cud same thing with a uh a deer same thing with a uh you know What's um is in English no is uh goat same thing with a no de is De so goat same thing with a goat and so on and so forth all the kosher animals they have these two signs and there are four animals in the Torah that hasem says these are animals that have only one sign these are animals that have only one sign so you have the rabbit the herrings which are similar breed animals but they're still different different species you have the pig and you have the uh the um camel so what's the significance of these four animals Hashem has millions of animals in the world there are over two million species in the world that we know of over 40 uh 40,000 different types of fish how come hasem decided to name these four animals he says because you can use this as one of the proofs that the Torah is real that it was written by God how you're never gonna find ever even with mutation even with manipulation you're never going to find a fifth animal that has one sign meaning out of all the animals in the world there's only four of them that has that have this one sign so that means that anyone who wrote this tah he's writing this because he knows listen I have to I'm gonna have people are going to say this is not real and they're going to look for ways to prove that it's not real why because if it was written by God God doesn't make mistakes God doesn't make mistakes so if there's a mistake in a to means it's not written by God so if I could find a fifth animal just one more animal out of all the animals in the world that has that one sign one sign instead of instead of zero instead of two that means that the entire is canceled we could all eat bacon on yum if we want why because it's fake then it's there's one mistake that means it could be other mistakes so the beautiful thing is 3,300 years have passed and no one has been able to find a fifth animal which means that whoever wrote this Torah not only knew of all the animals that existed at that time 3,300 years ago but also knew of everything that will ever exist for the rest of Eternity so again another way that the Torah uses animals in order to fulfill the will of hasem one way is for them to have a job in the world another way for us to fulfill certain MIT another way is for us to prove the authenticity and Divinity of the Torah because once you understand that the Torah was written by God there's no more questions why there's no more questions of I don't feel like keeping Shabbat why if God said keep Shabbat and you don't want to keep Shabbat you have to be crazy but if I said keep Shabbat said who's this guy who's this guy what do I care what he said but if God says keep Shabbat now you have a problem if you don't keep Shabbat so that's the beauty of the Torah Tor has endless amount of proofs that it was written by God and once God says keep Shabbat once God says you have to go to the mik once God says you have to do is XYZ whatever he says we have to listen so that's another use of animals and there's many many other ways next question same price picture this world to to was a couple of a couple of things first the zad says that before the uh before Hashem created anything he was the only thing in existence and he had to minimize himself in order even though he doesn't have a size he would have he had to make room in order for anything else to exist but him which in essence would mean that everything else is still technically a part of him so now originally the uh the world was called to so there were different things that hasem created before the world for example water fire those things were created before the world how do we know they were created before the world because says that he created uh the heavens created the Heaven and the Earth how did he create the heavens part of the heavens is the sky that we see part of the heavens is above the sky now the sky here what is it it's a combination of water and fire something that is impossible for us to do anything with because they two the two of them negate each other but AEM that's above nature he combined them and he created the sky created the heavens so there was certain things that Hashem created before the world but in so many words before before this world there was six other worlds there was six other worlds that had different missions than us we are the last World before Hashem culminates all of the creation and then there is the Thousand Years of mashiach and then there is a spiritual world no physicality anymore but as far as those six worlds it says that Hashem uh created and destroyed worlds not because he made a mistake shom but each World matured each World got to its you know culmination point it's uh the point it achieved its Mission and the cabala actually says that certain beings that did not achieve their culmination did not achieve their mission in those worlds actually were reincarnated into this one there are different creatures in this world that are actually things that used to exist before this world but that's high level sh when for a different time next question yes uh we all know mashia going to come right but happen after mashia ah after mashia well it says the Mah is Gonna Come the Messiah is also called the GU the one that's going to bring us salvation to save who who the people they used to be the people that used to be criminals why is he saving the people that used to be criminals it doesn't mean criminals that used to Rob Stores Only or used to rob banks or used to uh make crime criminals meaning criminals against Hashem he's going to save those people they used to be former criminals meaning he's going to save all of the people that did chuva that's who the mashiah is coming for he's not coming to save anybody didn't do chva somebody doesn't do chuva the prophet Zakaria says the Messiah is going to be able to smell his sins meaning see the person see all of his sins and destroy him on the spot there's no more Chua once the mashiah comes so time of mashiah in in a in a short uh timeline first off before mashia comes there's going to be a war called go Magog the war of all wars this war is going to the prophet Zacharia chapter 14 if everyone anyone wants to get really really scared go to the prophet Zacharia chapter 14 it describes a nuclear war that destroys the world it tells you how people are going to melt their eyes are going to spill like liquid now in the times of Zacharia the weapons that they had back then were bow and arrow they didn't have U nuclear weapons like today but they're describing a nuclear war obviously there's prophecy there so the point is that Zacharia says that this war initially is going to destroy 2third of the population so you have 8 billion people in the world right off the bat 6 billion a gun two billion maybe two billion maybe why maybe if they did CH or not if they uh if decide depends on what they decide depends on what they decide in the last minute the choices they make but in general the two the last two billion that survive obviously comprised of Amy and also many many go many many of the Gentile Nations these people have to have the Merit to live at that time if a person survives the time of mashia then they have eternity of good if they don't survive the time of mhia then it's a could be a combination of good and bad depends but after uh the war starts at some point the mssiah will arrive the Messiah will destroy the uh the uh the Nations that are fighting against is but part of that war we're going to be losing in the beginning in the beginning am is going to be losing the war starts with a major war by the Christians versus the Muslims asav ad fights Ishmael but then after they fight they're going to decide that it's all am is's fault so they're both gonna stop the war and join forces and fight against am is and they're going to take over is for nine months at that moment the mashiach is going to come and destroy all of them and obviously save all of the righteous people that did chuva now after the people that uh you know after he destroys all of the enemies we're going to have 40 years time span between that time and the time of the resurrection of the Dead meaning all of the righteous people from the previous generations will be brought their will be brought back into their bodies and they'll be Resurrected Ed but during that 40 years a lot of different things are going to happen some of the things we know of many of the things we don't know of because there's certain things that may or may not happen one of the things is that we know for sure is going to happen is that we're going to have to spend seven years burying bodies because there's going to be so many dead people all of the wicked people they're not going to have a second chance this is the reason why we do what we do and we're trying to do everything we can do in order to get you and everybody else to do CH because once mashia comes there's no more this is not meant to scare you but it's meant to scare you because that's the reality that's what to us is now last but not least now I'll get your question after uh the war is over the resurrection of the Dead you see abob MOS you see mashia David everything is good we'll have a thousand years the thou last thousand years in this world of Peace Harmony a perfect world some debate whether we're even going to have to eat anymore because there's really no purpose some debate whether there's going to be a lot of different things that like birth we're not really sure if there's people are going to still continue bringing kids to the world or not there's certain things we're not going to know until it actually happens but what we do know is that the last thousand years are going to be beautiful the days of mashia going to be beautiful after the havoc and the uh Horrors are over it's going to be beautiful time and then after those Thousand Years the war this world this physical world will reach its maturity and all of the people go to a spiritual world that's Eternal and there there's the uh even more pleasure than could be humanly uh comprehended in the back not everyone just two-thirds is it going to be like what like those people never existed no so we have it's a very good question very good question so the rambam writes that we have 13 principles of Fai meaning there are 13 foundational ideological beliefs that each Jew must believe if a Jew does not believe them he's considered a heretic so for example I help a lot of people convert to Judaism anyone that's a righteous non-jew that wants to become a Jew they're able to become a Jew if they learn the right things make certain life changes it's a very very important thing to help people convert to Judaism if they are righteous and they want to do it and we do we deal with a lot of converts some of the most important Jews that ever lived actually were born non-jews like or a RAB AKA ranes on many many of the most important Jews in the world actually were born non-jews or came from families of converts even the mashiach the mhia himself originally his great great grandmother was Ruth Ruth was a convert so point is is that the rambam says that you have to believe the mhia is going to come you have to believe that hasem has no body you have to believe that hem knows what's in your mind you have to believe that Hashem knows the future that there is nothing else but hhm but he also said you have to believe in reward and Punishment meaning that the righteous get rewarded and the wicked get punished part of the reward and punishment is this world but the ultimate reward and punishment is after this world after a person completes their life which means the page 17A says once Mia comes the people that are righteous will have an eternity of good pleasure beyond all the pleasures you can possibly imagine forever and ever and ever and ever and ever the people that a wicked it'll depend how Wicked they are if they're a little bit Wicked like most of us but not really wicked you know they made a few mistakes here and there then they have to pay a little bit of punishment for some of the things they did if they didn't pay for it in this world but the really wicked the really wicked the says their punishment will be eternal Forever Until their soul is completely destroyed who are the people that are considered or some of the examples at least of people that are considered really wicked to the extent of Eternal punishment I'll give you just a couple of examples that are relevant to everyone someone that violates Shabbat and dies without doing chuva meaning not they violated Shabbat by accident not they violate Shabbat one time two times five times even a 100 times s but then they started keeping Shabbat no no someone that simply at the end of their life they were Shabbat they were driving on Shabbat they were watching TV on Shabbat they were smoking cigarettes on Shabbat lighting fire on Shabbat working on Shabbat somebody dies like this according to Hashem that person is considered the worst person on Earth even worse than a murderer even worse than a murderer the punishment for a murderer is not as bad as a punishment for a Shabbat one of the ways we know is The Ten Commandments Ten Commandments go in order first commandment hasem says I'm the one that took you out of Egypt then he says don't have any other God then he says don't use my name in vain then he says the fourth Commandment keep Shabbat fifth commandment honor your parents six commandment don't murder so kazal says how come don't murder is before Shabbat says because the murderer even though he murdered he still has a share of the world to come he can still go after he goes to Gom and he suffers for a little while he has still can go to heaven if he was righteous everywhere else but the No Heaven No Heaven ever meaning if you're not keeping Shabbat yet it's time to start it's time to start it's not a suggestion so the people that are part of the wicked depends how Wicked they are if they're part of the worst like then they have a permanent problem if they are are a little bit Wicked then they have a temporary problem but hopefully they'll pay enough in this world a little bit of suffering here and there will always help you not have to suffer later on but definitely it's uh not going to be a quiet scene because one of the things the G says is that part of the punishment for the wicked is that they are actually going to see the reward of the righteous they're going to see all the righteous people get their reward while they're suffering that's part of which is makes it even much much worse so imagine you see all of your enemies get the best things in the world while you're suffering that makes your suffering much much worse much much worse that's part of the punishment all right next question ah so the it's very good question until the age of 13 until the age of 13 you are not obligated to fulfill all of the mitv for a man and 12 years old for a woman now but that also reminds me to tell you that once you're 13 years old even though you don't see yourself as a grown man once you're 12 years old even though you don't see yourself as a grown woman according to the Torah you are fully grown you are at an age where if you find a spouse you should get married now I know in today's society this sounds ridiculous I told somebody in the sh last night why don't you get married he said I'm only 17 I said that's perfectly fine what's wrong he looked at me funny he said what are you talking about what do you think I'm uh from Saudi Arabia or something he said something type a funny comment but it's not really funny according to the Tora you're you're a grown man now why do you have why should you get married at such a young age because another one of those sins that the will entice boys and girls to do even though they're really men and women is to be intimate now sometimes they're intimate with somebody else sometimes they're intimate withs problem is according to the Tor if you're intimate for the purpose of pleasure without having a uh the uh giving the ability of actually reproduction that means that you're wasting seed and a person that dies without doing Chua for wasting seed is's also classified as one of the wicked people that go to Gom and does not leave now I know that in today's world this is practically an addiction both in yes as well as in public schools and that's why we put out a lot of material about this subject we teach quite a bit about it it's definitely very difficult to overcome the addiction but it's possible and if you do it you could be considered a sadik like yourself sadik that's what's called a sadik your sadik is not somebody has a nice beard sadik is not somebody that has a big hat sadik is not somebody that read a lot of books that's not sadik who's sadik sadik is somebody that protects his breit that's sadik according to the Torah that's why sadik was called yourik because you protected his so now back to your question for the first 13 years a person is not obligated by all the MIT with the exception of wasting seed is not allowed everything else if he fail he doesn't get punished for it if he violates Shabbat he doesn't get punished for it so Hashem gives him the inclinations that he was born with which are animalistic inclinations because that's part of the mission in this world part of the mission in this world is for you to learn about your weaknesses and overcome them the can be 500 times more powerful than the which is the reason why it doesn't need to be in you from day one can have 500 times more power if you allow it than the even though sometimes it seems like the opposite but the in re in reality is uh useless to you when you're uh still still a baby because for the first almost 10 years of your life if you're a normal kid you don't think about about evil little kids don't think about evil little six seveny old kid doesn't think about killing people doesn't think about raping doesn't think about pedophilia doesn't think about stealing if a kid if you find a kid that's eight years old stealing he's not stealing because he's trying to hurt somebody he's stealing simply because he doesn't understand that there are consequences for taking something that doesn't belong to you so kids do not have the brain power the brain capacity at that age to even understand and the difference between right and wrong so even though they have the in them the is not in its full force yet doesn't go to its full force until you also have the so when they in essence when you have that goes into full force you also have and that can be 500 times more powerful the other reason is also because the believe it or not even though the is a gets ahead start e in you before the he's still deficient he still has a uh he's he's still behind and the reason why is because for 9 months for the nine months that you were inside your mother you had a Mal you had an angel teach you the entire Torah and the Torah is the potion that destroys the so on day one when yet meets you he just meets you you don't even know what sins are you're still crying about uh getting a binky that's all you want in life you want a Binky you want to eat you want to drink you want somebody change your diaper that's all you know but technically inside you you have the potion to become the biggest sadik in the world to destroy the yet himself so again it's a uh it's there but it's uh it's not uh fully implemented it's like having a nuclear weapon but uh you're not allowed to press the button because you're afraid of political issues next question what is CH Chua chuva is changing your direction in life and getting yourself on a path to get closer to hem on a daily basis meaning you lived your life however many years doing whatever it is that you wanted sometimes what you wanted was good and in line with what Hashem wants you sometimes it wasn't good now if you didn't learn Tor you really don't know what's good and bad you have your own opinion of what's good and bad but you don't really know and the reason why is because the only one that can deter what's good and bad is the one that created good and bad which is Hashem and the way we we know what's good and bad is we look at what does Hashem say is good and bad he says the ones that love me and keep my those are the good ones the ones that violate my mitv they considered my haters they're considered the bad ones so we see the good in hashem's eyes is MIT bad is sins that's what that's the difference so a person that wants to do CH on all of us is a person that wants to make and the will of hem something that it's a priority number one in his life every day he's going to learn a little bit more every day she's going to learn a little bit more every day they're going to work on something else one day she's going to realize oh I learned about M I learned about I learned about all these righteous sages all these righteous people Hashem loved them why did Hashem love them oh look s menu for example saru just so you know was the most beautiful woman that ever existed so beautiful so beautiful that even if you took say if you took the most beautiful woman in the world today whatever woman you think is beautiful you took the most beautiful one and you put her next to she looks this woman of this generation looks like a monkey with hair in his face next to s menu That's How Beautiful s menu was nowm didn't love s menu because she was beautiful because he created her after all why he love s menu because she was modest she covered herself she covered our neckline she covered our knees she covered our body she was so modest that even our own husband our own husband never knew her true beauty until they got to Egypt and he saw her calf he saw her calf for the first time time in his life of course they were intimate but there it was dark they didn't see but he saw a small part of our leg small part of our leg and he said it was so beautiful it was shiny like the sun literally shiny like it would made of light like if you put in a room dark she puts a skin it would make the whole room light that's how beautiful she was point being the reason why hasem loved her is because she was modest she hid that beauty and she preserved it for husband the same thing goes with Ruth the same thing with Rael the same thing with KH the same thing with all of the righteous women that are mentioned in the Torah every single one of them no one ever mentions she was wise she was she was smart she was uh clever she uh she had a good speech pattern she knew how to talk no no one ever said that she was rich no one cares why did hasem love all of the women of am Isel when he mentions them in the Torah because of modesty because according to the Torah a woman that's modest can be very righteous a woman that's not modest it's impossible for her to be righteous even if she reads T all day even if she learns all day even if she does a lot of things all day if she's not modest it's impossible for her to be aik impossible so chv is a person that starts to take into account who does AEM think is righteous oh he thinks that a woman that's modest is righteous okay so that's why I want to marry I want to marry a woman that's modest I don't don't want to marry a woman that's on some billboard I don't want to marry a woman that's dancing in some nightclub I don't want to marry a woman that was married to 15 people before me I don't want to marry that I want to marry a woman that's modest why because if she's modest I know Hashem loves her but who does hem love as the man people that take us to us seriously hasem says I love Abraham because Abraham he loved my mitv and he taught my to his children and he made sure his children will listen to my that's why I love so a person that wants hm to love him learns T learns T fulfills the and continues to work on himself or herself every day little by little to improve themselves as a human being according to hashem's definition of good next question yes yov is a uh law that Tora says that it's a very complicated law because on one end says I hate him why I hate they were both the sons of the same father those both the grandsons of ab ainu they're both sons of righteous people both sons of righteous mothers and fathers but one hasem says I love him yov one he says I hate him why yov followed my says I love him he knew my but he didn't follow them that's why if you learn in the Tor you see that only his head was buried in but his body was thrown in the garbage he wasn't buried in why because his head knew all the if he was in this generation he would be the smartest Rabbi in the world but he was why he knew all the but he didn't follow them so from there we see that there's a law here that it doesn't really matter whether your father is a rabbi or he's not a rabbi your grandfather's a rabbi not a rabbi it doesn't make a difference your lineage doesn't make a difference two we see that asav is somebody that Hashem allowed to exist even though he hated him and the reason why is because some of the descendants of asav became some of the most righteous people that ever lived and thear says that hasem was very careful at how he dealt with because he did not want to destroy ran because ranes was one of the six students thata used to restart the Torah world he was a descender of the B another thing is for all of the people in this generation and in previous generations especially even during the times of today but also in the times of the bet mikdash if you are a Jew you have to understand you're part of the chosen people which means the job of a dome the job of asav is going to try to destroy you it's not going to be to help you so for all of the people that like to be politically correct and like to make all types of nice deals with theim in order to make peace hasem says no matter what eventually I will use asav to destroy you punish you or simply to wake you up no matter what there is no such thing as peace between asav and yov never was and never will be so during the time of the bet mikdash some people wanted to bring peace so they figured maybe we befriend theen eventually this led to into marriage and eventually led to the same exact thing happened many times throughout history including World War II and the same thing is happening right now same thing is happening right now where a lot of religious Jews are doing all types of deals and agreements with the guim in order to uh have Unity if you will if you're going to Simply do business meaning for money purpose monetary purposes there no problem doing business with the go with the exception of three days before their holidays you're not allowed to do business with go three days before their holidays which is another and the reason why is because if you do business with them three days before their holiday they can use the money that you give them for their idolatry go into a little more details so that's another aspect of that applies as far as how you're not allowed to do business with the GRE just on any day but if you want to do business you want to sell them something you want to buy something there's no problem there's no problem buying and selling from them except with the exception of those days but if you're going to do something when it comes to spirituality then you have a problem why according to the Torah if somebody was chasing a Jew trying to kill him and he has an option one option is to hide inside a church not go pray in a church not go pray to Yos just hide inside the church or die he has to die he has to die instead of hiding inside a church needless to say no Jew is ever allowed to attend a church even if your best friend is getting married to his love of his life doesn't make a difference even if it's some president marrying another president doesn't make a difference a Jew is never allowed to even attend the church why it's a place of idolatry so this again also of idolatry have a lot to do with asov last but not least it's also always to remember that no matter what a person needs to understand that hem runs the world anytime a Jew is doing good things hasem is going to use asav Hashem is going to use asav in order to elevate the Jew even higher he's going to use the isav to build the world and develop the world and create a lot of good things for the world for the benefit of the Jew to such an extent that hasem will give some share billions of dollars in order to build some huge Tower the mid says in the middle of the desert for no actual economical reason why because maybe 400 years later Hashem is going to have one of his sadik one of his Jews pass in that desert and he's going to get hot so he wants to use maybe this you know a little bit of Shadow a little bit of tent so he can use that billion dollar building just for that so he doesn't get so hot meaning he's going to give the non-jew he's going to give the Gentile billions of dollars just to build a building that will be used One Time by a Jew for the Jew's benefit so when the Jew is righteous Hashem will use the the uh ad he's going to use asav and Ishmael in order to elevate the Jew even higher when the Jew is wicked then hasem uses asav and also Ishmael as a tool to hit the Jew that's why throughout all of history every single time the Jews were Wicked for an extended period of time hasem used theim time and time again in order to hurt us whether it's the bet mikdash the first one getting destroyed with millions and millions of people the second one are the prgrams the inquisitions Spanish inquisitions World War II and so on and so forth so there are different ways that you could apply this across the entire Tor I don't know exactly uh what which specific ways Corners you're looking for but I think in the last few minutes I mentioned at least a half a dozen Al that you could apply next question yes how do you know when you're uh well you're never really done doing chuva because the more you understand about the magnitude of uh of reward and Punishment the more you understand a specific Mitzvah the more you understand that you could do a Mitzvah standard and you could do meaning you could even magnify and elevate do it more than just standard it's so every Jew is supposed to be an expert in at least one mitvah meaning he's the best of the best in this mitvah but in general if it's a sin in order to repent for a specific Mitzvah you have to first of all become very knowledgeable about that sin very knowledgeable about that Mitzvah and the more knowledgeable you are the more you realize that you cannot really finish your chuva simply by not sinning anymore because you have to stay not sinning so that means you fulfilled the mitvah permanently so chuv for a Jew is permanent you never finish Chua for anything it's that every single time you don't make that sin that means that you're still doing Chua for it once a person fails that means you have to do Chua even more but in essence every time you don't make a you don't make a sin that's part of the Chua but it's more than that there's more to it because there's also ways that you have to T for example there certain sins that a Jew make that it's not enough just to stop sinning you have to do more you have to get other people to stop sinning you have to get other people to learn about this Mitzvah you have to get other people to do chuva for it so the CH is not just simply stop sinning there's different aspects of it next question yes if time was created on the first day of how did time exist Before Time how did time exist Before Time sa your time I already asked how did time exist Before Time Well Hashem has no concept of time he's above time means the beginning the beginning is the beginning of time hasem created the time system so as far as the uh time does not depend on what we think we depend we uh base time based on the sun based on the Moon based on the globe based on different material Hashem is above time he created material so he's not subject to time if Hashem would be subject to time then time would be God in order for God to be God he has to be above time meaning there's no concept of time that uh is uh that Hashem is bound to and one of the ways that you could understand how time works and how no time works is for example every single thing that we do in the world automatically we think of it based on its material makeup how much does it weigh how tall it is how much how much of a distance there is between me and this thing how much time it will take it's all based on materialism but there is a concept of not a concept there's a reality where there's a place without time and that's the Eternal world that's the spiritual world how can you understand that world dreams dreams sometimes a person can go to sleep have a dream feel in that dream that's his reality that's her reality when they're in that dream and sometimes you could have nightmares and some people call night terrors depends on the level of the magnitude of it where they're being tortured they're being chased they're being beat up and so on and so forth for thousands of years thousands of years they feel like they're in this thing somebody's chasing them somebody's beating them up for a few weeks for a few months even for thousands of years but they that's their reality they really went through thousands of years of suffering and anguish but then they wake up and they look at the clock 3 minutes passed three minutes why when you dream your soul leaves and goes to a place where there's no time that's why you felt it was a thousand years and it was a thousand years but at a place that there was no time at a place there was no time so before time there was no time and Hashem is not subject to time if he was then he wouldn't be God time would be God next question yes is it a form of idal worship to follow the secular calendar is it a form of idolatry it's a form of idolatry to believe in it not necessarily to follow it each one of the calendar months in the secular world is based on the Gregorian calendar is is based on the name of a idol different false idol different forms of idolatry but when you use the names January February March April you are not referring to serving their Idols you're not referring to even the idol itself and quite frankly most people don't even know that the calendar has anything to do with idolatry so you're not using it for that context you're using it simply for the that's the way the the world is it's a uh it's the way that you conduct business and life in general in the world but if a Jew wants to comply with Al that means that they are never going to celebrate their birthday or anniversary or any significant day on the Gregorian calendar they're only going to celebrate their Hebrew birthday their Hebrew anniversary the Hebrew calendar and the reason why is because the Hebrew calendar first and foremost is the only one that complies with the tah and two it's the only only one that's actually right if you go to in the beginning of the first maybe 20 something Pages teaches about the calendar and different aspects of the calendar and you also see that the Gregorian calendar is completely wrong meaning even though every one of us has a specific birthday statistically speaking every room that has 35 people at least two people have the same birthday same day they were born and same month not necessarily same year statistically speaking one Gambler that I knew a long time ago made a lot of money off of fooling people telling them I bet you I could find two people with the same birthday and every time people say of course 100 people no so many dates so many possibilities then they realized that statistically speaking if you have 35 people in the same room you're going to have more times than not you're going to have two people with the same birthday but anyway even though you were born let's say on Jan jary 5th and another person was born on January 5th that January 5th is not technically the same time of year the year before and the reason why is because there are leap years and the reason why is because their calendar is is based on something that changes constantly the uh reason why in the Hebrew calendar we have every few years we have a uh a year that is called a year with 13 months instead of 12 months is in order to make sure that those specific days those birthdays those holidays and so on and so forth always fall on the same day so if let's say for example your actual birthday is the first of a the first of a the Jewish month of a even if you celebrate that day that birthday 25 years later it actually is really your birthday that really is the day you were born but if you do it based on the Christian calendar the Gregorian calendar January 1st today if you fast forward exactly 365 days a year 10 years from now or five years from now even though it's still going to be January 1 it's not 10 years exactly 10 years exactly will end up being something like February or March or April or possibly even something in the neighborhood of September depending on how many years you're talking about the reason why is because their calendar is a something that does not actually base itself on the true uh uh true time really put it that way whereas the uh T does yes how are you defining your your true birthday the day that you were born like what does that mean that your day how could it not you say it's not the exact same day no no no meaning I'm talking about not the same exact day when uh as far as the uh what's it called as far as the Christian calendar not the Jewish calendar how would you calculate like if it's January 1 one day how how would you calculate what a year is it's not that way okay so the uh the way the calendar works the way the calendar works is that uh you're going to have leap years every four years um so sometimes you're going to have every year you're going to have a deficiency because one uh part of the calendar Works off of the Revolutions of the around the Sun and part of it is around the the moon the problem is the Gregorian calendar the times change by about 10 days every year which means that every four years every four years approximately you have a accumulation of a month that's changed a month that's changed meaning that every if you let's say for example January 1 now you fast forward 10 years worth of 365 days in 10 years from now you're talking about that January 1 will actually be you know three uh three months later not uh it's not going to be the same exact day you follow me based on the Revolutions of how actual time really really passes whereas in the uh the Hebrew calendar it actually is the same exact day so it's a you know there's specific uh uh details about how the calendar works it's very very complicated but nonetheless it's a uh it's a precise calendar now when you uh the day that you were born you have a uh on your birth certificate you probably have a English birthday but if you go on the internet you go to Hebrew calendar you put your actual date of birth they'll tell you exactly what is your Hebrew calendar birthday and that's your real day and that's the day that you'll see so for example if it's the first of of and let's say first of of ends up also being this year will will be January 1st you'll see that next year the first of a ends up being January 15th it's not the same day it's not the same day why because the Hebrew calendar exactly again like I said is based on precise time whereas the Gregorian calendar is not yes same price two for one how come um 6 million Jews died like brutally how did what do you mean how you let it happen he did and also like isn't that like consider a lot of people died during that time sure go a lot of people are going to die two-thirds of the world are going to die the the uh Tora says if you fulfill my Torah I'll bless you how is hasem going to bless us all types of beautiful things that he's going to give us he tells us all types of things that he will give us as a result of us following the Torah but if we don't follow the Torah he gives us over 40 different verses of different curses different punishments that we're going to get if you look at if you look at if you look at those three specifically you will find that every single thing that happened during the Holocaust Hashem predicted that it's going to happen if we violate the Tor which means how could Hashem allow the Holocaust to happen he didn't allow it we did we violated the deal Hashem did not violate the deal he said if you keep my mitv I'll give you blessings if you don't I'll give you curses so he never changed the deal he says if you keep my mitv you're good you'll be a you know feared by everyone one of you will be able to beat a thousand of them you'll have blessings you'll have P you'll have everything you want and more if you do my if you don't you'll be a slave among the people you will become a tragedy that everyone is going to look at you and say how come hasem cursed such a people so he gives us details of what's going to happen to us if we this to we went over this I believe a couple of weeks ago in detail as far as and you see that hem did not violate the deal even though we don't take hhm seriously he's serious so when he says if you keep my MIT I'm going to give you reward we see throughout history when was righteous we were the best of the best at the time of SCH we were Kings of the world everybody feared no one ever wanted to fight SCH even though we were a small country we didn't have that many people we were never the biggest nation in the world the whole world was was afraid of us we were the richest we were the smartest we were the most righteous but if you fast forward 410 years Hashem made us into literally victims to such an extent that there were rivers of blood rivers of Jewish blood much much worse than the Holocaust that was the time of the first bet mikdash being destroyed why we're Wicked for an extended period of time and hasem says remember I told you if you do good you'll have everything good if you don't do good you'll have everything bad so Hashem did not change the deal just because we changed we changed Hashem did not change he said you do bad I punish you same thing happened many times throughout history every time if you look at the history books of is you'll see that every single time we've had a major crisis a national crisis a PG and in ition a a destruction of some kind you will see that at that time and for a period of extended period of years beforehand it wasn't like for one year or one week or even five or 10 years for an extended period of time usually decades we were extremely wicked as a nation as far as the way we comply with the tah and Hashem has patience and patience and patience but eventually that runs out and eventually has to implement the laws of the Tor that Force him to punish us because if there was no punishment there would simply be no point to the world next good I'm not following the first part what do you mean if I don't know said yeah no no no I didn't say doesn't matter that you don't know I'm saying that if a person most people do not know that the names that were chosen for the Gregorian calendar the Christian calendar were based off of Idols but most people don't know that most people are ignorant it's reality but it's not a form of idology even if you do know I know that January is based on on a certain God that was named January and so on and so forth but it's not idolatry it's just that you know that that was an idol called that by saying the name January or September or August you're not serving that God you're just saying that name it's not a uh it's not a sin to say the name it's a sin to worship or benefit from idolatry you're not benefiting from the false god of January or February or or whatever it is uh by saying their name You're simply conducting your life most people don't know this in General uh as far as that these Gods even existed these false gods but that doesn't make it a sin or a mitvah just simply people are ignorant as far as the uh the people that are using the wigs that come from India they are sinning and the reason why is because those wigs were not a uh a name of something those wigs were are actually part of idolatry they're not just something that was named after an idol they're actually a part of idolatry meaning meaning these wigs are hair that somebody sacrificed to the idol somebody sacrificed the idol so it's not something that you could take any piece of paper and say I'm going to name this paper Pikachu and good luck for you okay name him whatever you want name him name him doesn't make a difference you can name him after an idol it doesn't make it idol worship doesn't make it if you're going to drink from this cup now you're an idol worship it doesn't make anything but if you took this cup and you gave it as a sacrifice to some statue then this cup has to be destroyed why because it now became an official part of idolatry so the wigs that are coming from India which is the majority of the wigs in the world are part of idolatry because they were sacrificed by the Hindu people for different foolish reasons uh and now sold by those temples because those temples care about money more than they care about their Idols they sell the hair to unfortunately foolish people all over the world some are Jews some are non-js that don't really care where the hair came from and uh put it on their head and whether the person is a Jew or a non-jew they have a serious problem when they have a sacrifice of an idol on their head does it have to do anything with this question or just follow something else let me follow up with him and give him a chance to ask the Nam of thean calendar names of idol based on Idols about the Nam of the calar no names of the Hebrew calendar were uh names the came up with okay I don't I don't I don't I don't uh I I don't know the source for that you have a is based on based on an idol what Idol was named what I don't know I never heard of it yes the back I can't hear you because if let's say for example I uh told you that I have a piece of rock okay let the uh station uh quiet down if something is to be special it has to be unique it has to be unique so if I have a rock and I told you this rock this piece of rock is uh is priceless it's worth $10 million you're going to ask me what makes this rock what makes this rock $10 million so I'm going to tell you I decided it's $10 million and you're going to tell okay you can decide whatever you want but that's worth nothing but if I tell you the reason why it's $10 million is because it's a unique Rock that's very rare as far as the way it looks as far as the way it's shaped as far as its quantity as far as its size and so on and so forth so if you want to have something that's unique that's special that's valuable it cannot be something that is a uh very easy to get very easy to attain and so on like for example sand is not very valuable and that's because there's a surplus of sand salt water is not very valuable that's because there's a surplus of salt water 72% of the world is water but if you take specific types of metals or rocks or different precious stones and so on and so forth the more rare they are the more valuable they are had to show that they are rare not necessarily because they are of lesser quantity because they were Generations that we were a very large quantity of Jews at the time of the bet mikdash there was a large quantity of Jews at the time of Egypt there was a large there was a large quantity of Jews and several times throughout history we had a large quantity of Jews not in comparison to the go but still a large quantity but Hashem says that What Makes Us unique as far as the chosen is because we are the only ones that are following the Torah itself so Hashem had to make us different from the rest of the Nations because that simply gives us the two two aspects of it you have two aspects you have the valuable and you have the less valuable you have the uh scars and you have the stuff that you have a surplus of and so on and so forth Hashem decided who is the chosen who's not the chosen but the beauty is of Hashem is that he allows any anybody that wants to be part of the chosen to join so if someone was born not Jewish but they wanted to become Jewish they can be they go through a Orthodox conversion at the bed after learning enough to to know how to deal with the day-to-day life of a Jew they make certain life changes that are necessary and they convert through Judaism and they can become part of the chosen people meaning that hm did not leave the rest of the World Behind if you want to be a Jew you can be but you can't undo it meaning a Jew cannot become non-jewish even if they converted to a different religion according to Al is still considered and judged as a Jew they still judged as a Jew a wicked one nonetheless but a Jew so Hashem allows every single person that wants to be a Jew to become one but if a uh with a minority exception of a Nation that's cursed that he says well they'll never be allowed to be a Jews but even those had except even the exceptions had exceptions in general the vast majority of the world can become Jewish if they want next question yes the first commandment is us out ofp does it say that he brought us out of very good question creating the world is much bigger than Egypt so how come hasem didn't say I'm the god that created the world the reason why is because when he created the world there was no Witnesses whereas when he gave when he took us out of Egypt and he gave us the Torah there were millions and millions of witnesses both Jews and non-jews so if you say I'm the God if he writes in the tah in a generation like today I'm the god that created the world you could say well I don't believe you created the world that no one there was no Witnesses but if you say I'm the god that took you out of Egypt you can't say no no I don't believe in that why because the millions and millions of witnesses that were there that saw it that lived through it so therefore by in essence rejecting it you rejecting history documented history next question yes when you say that hocr us cses yes how people betray that's I mean hashem's measures are unknown to men uh different people different quantities different Generations but in general we see that Hashem has an enormous amount of patience and uh he waits many many years before he punishes the nation as a whole usually he gives people individual punishments then it expands to family then it expands to neighborhoods then it could even expand into communities uh but as far as National punishments Hashem has an extraordinary amount of patience which means that it has to get to a certain threshold what is that threshold the threshold is we read it on um I know I'm not sure about on Thursday and um Thursdays and Mondays we read a we read a certain section of thear which says says was what was said by the prophet at the time of the destruction of the BET mikdash where hasem says I have to destroy the BET mikdash and I have to kill a lot of Jews why because there are no people ofuna what do you mean amuna amuna meaning no people that are believing in hem to such an extent that they're actually going to rebuke their brothers and sisters if there's nobody to rebuke the people and tell them the truth to tell them to do chuva that means that people will not have the ability to do chuva in any other way other than Hashem rebuking them now when Hashem rebukes people it's unfortunately very painful if I rebuke you and I tell you stop doing such and such it doesn't hurt it's just words you could listen you could reject it it's relatively harmless but when Hashem says something it's not through talking it's the world things change he gives a person sickness like he gave me for many years of my life he gives a person Financial issues he gives a person all types of difficulties he gives the nation so the na got to a point where even the rabbis sto rebuking the people and the page 5455 and 56 talk about it extensively says that originally Hashem wanted to actually punish only the wicked people but then the Satan came to Hashem and said Hashem you can't just punish all the wicked people you got to punish all the righteous people to all these religious people says why but they fulfilled the Tor they fulfilled all the but Satan says no they didn't fulfill one mitvah what Mitzvah didn't fulfill they did not tell people to do CH they did not tell people to stop violating Shabbat they did not tell people to stop wasting seed they did not tell people to repent they didn't tell them for different reasons so the uh Hashem says yeah they didn't tell them but this generation was so wicked that even if they would have told them they still wouldn't have done Chua because they like to s too much so the Satan says to hasem yes you know they wouldn't have done Chua but the rabbis don't know which means that they were still obligated to fulfill that Mitzvah and tell them and Hashem says you're right punish the rabbis first punish the rabbis first and just like in this week's par hasem punish the rabbis first in the times of mikdash hasem punished all of the religious people first why because if you are a leader you have a much bigger obligation than a tra a regular person so when the threshold we've seen throughout history what is the threshold it's not necessarily a certain specific type of sin other than the fact that we see that it's the sin where you are eliminating the ability of the public from doing Chua where it's not necessarily the public sinning specific sins but rather the leaders sinning specific sins where they are not allowing people to know the truth they're not helping them know the truth in essence they're not allowing them a fair chance to choose between right and wrong a person is born into this world without really knowing all the Rights and Wrongs so the rabbi's job the Torah is is to tell him the Torah the Torah tells him what's right and wrong if the rabbi is going to pick and choose what he tells him he's only going to tell him the nice things and not the bad things the person is not going to know what to do and how to do chuba so when this becomes an epidemic when the average Rabbi and the average religious Jew cares less about rebuking his brother about fulfilling the of you must rebuke your brother then we have a very serious problem because that eliminates the national ability of doing CH andem says we have no more people that can help people doing cha that means that the only way that we could save the nation is by me punishing them because once hasem punishes us we realize we did something wrong every person that is in a hospice center where people die becomes religious how do I know I have a student that volunteers at the hospice and he tells me regardless of what religion they started regardless of how old they are everybody at the hospice ask for a blessing even if they were atheist their whole life why because everybody knows okay something's wrong I'm about to die I'm about to meet my maker even if I Deni them my whole life when bad things happen people ask why so we know as a people that when bad things happened to us there was a lot of bad things that we did but we only started taking those things into account after bad things happened to us we didn't think about it beforehand so the job of the rabbis the job of the leaders is to tell people that they're doing wrong before Hashem tells them because once the Rabbi says it's good it's a relatively painless uh instruction set when hasem says it's a very painful one next question yes well it says that a prayer without kavana is like a body without a when somebody prays but like a robot yes they fulfill the uh the prayer obligation but uh it's not exactly a uh it's not exactly ideal what is it like at the time of the bet mikdash we had to bring we had to bring sacrifices and the reason why is because this was part of our Chua if we would make a sin or if we want to sanctify aem's name and so on and so forth now sometimes the sacrifice the animal has to be burnt completely sometimes partially sometimes it's eeden and so on and so forth now if it's a specific Corban that is a Corban for a sin sacrifice for a sin we did a sin and the person that's bringing that quban he says I made a sin by accident I turned on the light on Shabbat by accident I forgot it was Shabbat forgot it was Shabbat so I turn it on not that he ran into it if he just ran into by accident it's not even considered a sin if he turned it on because if he got Shabbat it's shig it's an accidental for that he has to bring a sacrifice to the mdash now he has to be sorry for the accidental sin and has to be be reminded that the reason why that cow is being slaughtered right now is instead of you even though it was an accident it's still a sin but if that person that's bringing the cow he's bringing the cow he's bringing the uh lamb he's not really sorry he's actually thinking I can't believe I have to spend $10,000 on this stupid cow and I'm not even going to benefit out of it can't even make barbecue out of it he's not thinking about being sorry about the cow yes he's not thinking about the sin he's sorry about the cow because he wants to eat it he wants to benefit out of it he's not sorry at all that's what to calls pul pul means this is a sacrifice that heaven will reject meaning even though he did the action in order to repent for the sin inside him nobody else knows hem knows though inside him he didn't repent in sh you'll have to pay for it which means if a person prays goes to beess three times a day and he prays and she prays but she's thinking about her groceries but he's thinking about the stock market but they're thinking about uh their car and whether they parked it in the right lot they think about everything else but Hashem then that means that that prayer that is replacing the Sacrifice from 2,000 years ago is pul it's pul it's it's not you did part of the job but when it get get to heaven it's not going to complete the job why it didn't have the right intention which means that when a person prays they have to do everything and anything possible to have kavana but that's also part of the benefit of praying for men praying with a minan praying with a minan reason why if a person prays by themsel then hasem evaluates their prayer from beginning to end to see whether they have full kavana or not if prays with aan he weighs everybody's prayer and he takes the best of everybody and combines them into one which means that most of us we pray between all of us don't tell anybody though between all of us we don't have a lot of kavana sometimes yes sometimes no sometimes saying AEM and there's a little tear that comes out sometimes we're saying stock market groceries my wife called my babies crying yeah we think about other stuff so not the whole prayer is full kav so when you pray with a you have the benefit why hashm is going to take out all the stuff that was no good throw in the garbage the little piece that was good he's going to combine it with his piece that was good his piece that was good his piece with that good combine it into one and everybody's prayer gets accepted assuming that there is at least 10 people that areab meaning the has to be people that sh Shabbat if you have a 100 people but none of them keep Shabbat it's as if there's nothing because a person that does not keep Shabbat according to cannot be counted in the cannot be counted in a Min he's considered an idol worshipper according to yes what if it's like there's nine people and like the next person they looking for there's like I don't know about allab houses I haven't been in all of them all I could tell you is that if there are 10 people that keep Shabbat then that's a minan according to according to M according to hasem 10 people that keep Shabbat if you have nine people that keep Shabbat nine m nine M but then you have one or not one you have 5,000 5,000 desecrators of Shabbat guess what you don't have a minan why you need 10 10 is the minan 10 is the that's why because when somebody drives on Shabbat according to according according to the in seven places according to the in 12 places according to the in many many places I don't know the number someone that violates Shabbat according to is considered 100% an idol worshipper meaning if you have a wedding you need two witnesses if one of those Witnesses is AABB that wedding is not valid if you have want to have a witness there a trial you need Witnesses if that witness you have not allowed to use him as a witness why he's not reliable he's not reliable because he's considered an idol worshiper which means whether kabad or breast live or regular Orthodox or it doesn't make a difference if they do not take this Al into account then this is not a place to pray as far as the uh the okay so inw ID well he's not celebrating a holiday though if he's a Jew that's a considered an idolator he's not holid considered holiday Jewish holiday yeah but he's not considered an idolator in that regards as far as the uh the holidays that they're talking about is they specifically talking about the the the holidays of celebrating their Idol celebrating their Idol not a holiday like for example where it's a Shabbat or it's p they're not celebrating a hle they're celebrating Hashem even if they don't follow the holiday they're celebrating Hashem so they're still right for celebrating Hashem whereas the actual true idolators the Christians they're celebrating and praising their Idol they're praising their JC Penney the uh the other religions in India and other places they're praising some Moon God or sun god or whatever other type of God so that Idol is wrong the idol worshipper is wrong wrong and therefore says you're not allowed to conduct business with them during those three days because they could poent take that money and use it for the purpose of idolatry if he's an idol worshipper it depends if he is a Christian if he's a Christian Missionary according to and also the rambam rambam writes is's considered a mean a mean a mean is somebody that entices other people to go to idolatry and such a person you are not allowed to be within four amot within six feet of him not only are you not allowed to allow him into a synagogue you're not allowed to stand next to him within six feet why because he's considered somebody that leads other people to sin leads other people to go to idolatry but that also applies to some Jews if you know a Jew that's an atheist or you know a Jew that's a different type of a heretic that tries to entice other Jews to violate Shabbat or violate the Tora in any way is also considered a mean and a mean the ramb says in CH not only has no share of the world to come but he's also considered like a Christian Missionary where you're not allowed to help him do chuva even if he wants to meaning if if let's say for example he enticed a thousand people to become Idol worshippers but now he realizes he's wrong now he realize oh I'm sorry I can't believe it I know I didn't want to do it but now I realize it can you help me do cha not to help him he could still do Chua but you're not allowed to help him why because he's a mean because he's someone that enticed other Jews to sin against hem Hashem has to treat him in a different way what way he's untrustworthy we don't know if he's playing a trick on us or not maybe just his strategy that he used to kill a thousand Souls stopped working so now he's going to pretend to do what a lot of Christians are doing today which they're calling themselves Messianic Jews even though there's nothing Jewish about them they call themselves Messianic Jews why because that's the new trick of the generation they're calling themselves Messianic Jews why because they're saying listen Our God JC Penny Yos he was Jewish and we're uh he told us to uh you know worship him and so on and so forth he's the uh Messiah he's really God in their eyes and so on and so forth and he was a Jew so we're really Jews we're Messianic Jews we believe he was he was the Messiah but their definition of mashiah is completely different than ours point being abai their trick changed for 2,000 years their trick was either we convert you or we kill you physically they would go up to Jews tell them convert or we kill you many Jews died to because of it but that's only the body their went to heaven in this generation it's the first time in history where the Christians are pretending to be Jews and they're successful it's very successful to such an extent that the most successful Christian missionaries were actually born Jewish unfortunately as the P says you conquerers your destroyers will come from within you we are our worst enemy that that verse means that's where the Bal says there's obviously different commentaries on it but the Bal use it to uh to uh say that we are our worst enemy yes is it possible for is it possible for Amal to do Chua if we don't know he's Amal then yes how do we know the says that the uh the descendants of ham became converted to Judaism and became big even though he was a descendant of amalik of course their rabbis did not know that they were descendants of Amal and today we don't know who is Amal but says that his descendants ended up converting became righteous people and once they convert we cannot undo it they became very righteous people but if you know somebody's Amal then actually you're obligated to kill him we don't know who's Amal though you're not all to kill anybody yeah but if to judism their kids not right like I said once you convert to Judaism you get a new rambam says you get a brand new your new birthday is that day the day you converted doesn't matter what day you were born biologically you were born spiritually you were gifted a brand new on that day you are officially zero years old zero years old you're baby so when a person converts Life Starts all over again there are certain sins that they still have to pay for from their previous life that they can for example if they stole they still have to pay the money back not necessarily because they owe the money but because it could be where somebody would say hey remember you stole $100 for me no no no that wasn't me that was the uh who I used to be no that could be that could be a desecration of hm's name where that person says Ah jeice steal $100 he's not going to say that it's you he's going to say it's the current you so if you did certain sins that are between you and another person as a non-jew you have to do chuva for them as a Jew especially if it's a relatively easy sin to fix but if it's a certain sins between that person and the Mak andem they don't have to do Chua for because they are in essence a brand new but according to they're brand new their their birthday is that day Hebrew birthday yes question I to ask okay um speaking about war that happen go yeah [Music] um go Magog no goog is part of it's the culmination of this world it's what's going to happen before mashia comes I also heard that that's in the prophets talks about it I Prophet Ezekiel prophet Isaiah Prophet Zaria all the prophets talk about different things about the end of times but those three that I just mentioned Ezekiel Zakaria and Isaiah specifically mention things about that war especially chapter 14 of Zacharia gives some vivid scary details of what's going to happened at go Magog he describes a nuclear war he describes a nuclear war yeah the way I mean in those days there was no nuclear weapons but the way he describes what would happen to people nuclear nuclear nuclear biochemical he says that the uh you know people there would be something event that would happen and the skin of people would melt you'd grab your friend's hand and the hand would come off the eyes would spill like water this is what happens in a nuclear biochemical War something me and my friend discuss to look forward to that Andia comes do you want to look forward to that you want come he always says like oh you should wait forone is well as far as looking forward to it or not looking forward to it right as far as looking forward to or not looking forward to it we always have to go to the we always have to go to the and see what did they say why because they have a much bigger uh knowledge of what's true and what's false what much bigger knowledge of what hasem says and what hasem you know expects of us and whatnot and we go to the biggest and the besta had a rabbi his name one of his rabbis name was rulos is the only one that's called at the uh end of his life asked them how much Tora do you know and he says if you take the water of the ocean of the entire world and you take and you turn it into ink and then you take all of the trees in the world and you take them into pens and then the land turns into paper you would not be able to use all that ink all those pens and all that paper to write the Torah that I know and the Torah that I know is not even a lick in the water in comparison to the Torah that my rabbis know that's how much which means a little bit more than us little bit justn realize more more you know the more you realize how big the Torah is so says they askos what about the time of mashia how will you be saved he says he says they ask him want you know what what's do you want to be alive at time mashia he says I want mashia to come but I don't want to be alive when he comes because of how difficult to test is going to be right before he comes whether it be the war or it be the poverty or the different things that the prophet say is going to happen the real wanted mashia to come come but not during their lifetime because of how difficult it will be before mashia comes so in essence a Jew is obligated to believe the mashiah is can come any day tomorrow the next day three days from now a week from now and so on and so forth obligated to think that mhia come any day not because he wants him to come or not wants him to come but because that means is obligated to do chuv today because once mhia comes there's no more chuva there's no more chuv so if a person think no you know what mashia is probably not going to come for another few years guess what if you think that the mashia is not going to come for a few years your motivation to do chuva will decrease by 95% this is also part of the reason of why Hashem lowered the lifetime of people to 120 years on the average at the time of AD and Noah and that generation the average person lived hundreds and hundreds of years some even over a thousand years but then hasem lowered it it says in the he lowered their life he maxed did it at 120 with certain exceptions you know here and there 120 is the max why because people thought listen I'm only 300 years old my father lived till 900 so I have time before I have to do Chua I can still you know cause a bunch of mess and go against hem for at least another 500 years the last 100 years I'll be perfect because people knew that everybody else lived life a very long life so hasem added certain things to the world number one he shortened the longest life lifetime number two he put disease into the world which I I believe it was Jakob ainu that asked for it so at least you have a preparation before you die in most cases and uh in essence he gave everybody the understanding that you could literally die on any given day you're not promised tomorrow and that's why the uh asked the Rabbi says Rabbi you said do CH before you die how would somebody know when they die he says exactly because you don't know when you're going to die you're obligated to do Chua every single day and that's also part of the reason why in our prayer whether you're or every day we read every day we have verses in in the T that we read throughout our that constantly remind us the mashia is coming and when he comes time's up time's up the end of 3B beginning of 4 a says there also not going to be any converts no more converts once mashia comes meaning why why no more converts I want to convert now that I know mashia is here and it's the Jewish one not the uh not the Christian one I want to be Jewish he goes yeah now there's no free choice once you know that we're the winning team of course you want to join us of course you want to join the winning team the key is to be a winner before you know who's the winning team that's the key key do chuva before you know that there's a lot of things bad things are happening so that's the thing a Jew has to do chuva as soon as possible because also anyone that's done chuva or at least is trying to do chuva knows that it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort to do chuva even the basics it's not like oh you start keeping Shabbat you eat kosher you pray every day and maybe learn a little bit that's you did Chua that's not Chua my friend that's the beginning of CHA Chua means you have to work on your character traits perfect your character get rid of badid is a lot of things to it's not just doing it's a lot more than just doing and even the a person is doing chat doesn't even know what he doesn't know so even if he starts keeping Shabbat he doesn't realize he's still because he doesn't know he don't know all the on day one so you could probably be you know but accidental because you don't know if you violate sh because you simply don't know you haven't gotten to it then it's considered shog it's accidental sins but if you are not learning and that's the reason why you don't know then the says that if your uh accidental sins are as a result of you not learning then then it considered in sh as if you did it on purpose why on purpose because you didn't know because you purposefully didn't study so therefore your accidental sins are considered purposeful sins but if you just simply didn't get to it you learned every day you just didn't get to this specific then it's still considered it's a sin but it's a accidental sin much much less a decree yes this Rabbi told me that Mia comes we're to go higher and higher spiritually but then I've heard from other people that once mhia comes you're pretty much stuck wherever you are you're not going to so which is they're both right uh your midot are what they are if you had corrupt midot once a person dies those corrupt mid stay with him if you have good midot those good midot stay with him certain level of spirituality will be magnified once a person leaves this world because he's not going to be restricted by the body but how do we know that the midot stay the same Shalom spoke to a lot of dead people a lot of different that died and through different things called deim where a that left this world enters a body that still exists and you would see that those many of them had disgusting character traits like they would curse one of the from the AR World about 100 years ago people no he spoke to the you know what is heard the book the book is when there's there's obviously everywhere there's here not just the ones you see there's a lot of things that you don't see no you're not you're not you're not you're not serving the dead you're not uh you're not asking for the dead he was doing it for the sake of somebody when a when a second enters the body the body loses control the body loses control and the body starts doing a lot of really bad things you believe that there's evidence of it it's not it's not a matter of believing it it's a matter there's evidence there documented evidence whether it's a documented evidence from or or the Z or different things even in the there's many many parts of the Tor that talk about I mean it's a uh they actually said I believe it's in the uh maybe they say if if a person only saw all of the different spirits that were next to him he would simply lose his mind so then thear says well how can you see it says if you take a cat kill the cat take the stomach burn the stomach put specific incense on it and then take the ashes after you burn everything and put it on your eyes you'll be able to see everything one of the did it it's curious he did it he was so scared he started praying to die couldn't close his eyes couldn't not see it he started praying to die he was lucky that he was surrounded by a bunch of t a bunch of a bunch of giants in Tora that they prayed forem to take away this thing from him and heal him take away this mid meaning that talks about it in many places and our or t talks about in many places that there's definitely a lot more to the world than what you see but that's not necessarily something you just need to tell you if you use a phone you believe in Things That You Don't See radio waves and all types of other things gravity there's all types of laws and different aspects of the world you don't see different uh uh germs you know they exist even though you don't see them so there's a lot of things in the world that you don't see but you believe in because you know they exist so like many other both from the world and the asazi world uh had uh the ability had the Kusa to uh help people that were attacked by an evil n that got the permission to do it and there are countless stories countless stories in countless stories across the Tora that talk about such things and would actually talk to these and try to convince them to leave this person saying different holy names cabalistic names and so on and so forth and uh but it was a very difficult process and throughout that process you would get to know who this is and many times you would see that the N is uh doing uh really terrible things re really terrible actions still now so he would still curse for example use vulgarity and profanity he would say wait a minute you know for sure that the real world that's beyond this world the Eternal world you know for sure it exists you're there how dare you still curse when you know Hashem hates it and would say this is the way I was when I was in the world when I was in the physical world and the way you die your character tra stay with you if you were a person that was constantly chasing uh uh all types of uh lust and things of that nature you stay that way after you die and you get punished for it after point being is that the character traits of a person are something that stays with him but as far as the the you know if if he was righteous if he was not could be continuously elevated based on his actions that's also why uh the uh the uh say that Hashem opens the books of the living and the dead on R the living we understand he judges them how to judge them in this world why does he judge the dead he judges the dead of what did they leave in this world if they left good let's say they wrote a SE they wrote a uh they wrote a good SE that people are doing cha because of it and a hundred more people a thousand more people a million more people did Chua that year 500 years after this person died he still has to get paid for it all over again that year yes his gets elevated even more if a person wrote a seph that gets people to leave Torah he has to get punished for it even more even 500 years after he died meaning that the living and the dead get rewarded and punished eternally based on what they lived in this world anything else yes this week this week's in the beginning it talks about the the giving and the building of the man yes it's obviously in the beginning because it's really important can you kind of expound because I'm not really sure like why is the minora important well the the spiritual meaning behind it and then it kind of doesn't really elaborate it right after that go to my uh YouTube page and type in I have at least a 25 to 35 minute uh uh extensive teachings about the manur itself and probably two to three sh uh and there's a lot of m a lot of teachings about MIT about ethics about different aspects of the that we talk about for example the enti was a uh m m meaning that it was a hammered out the whole thing was one piece of gold it wasn't pieces why it's teaching us many different things for example your mitv should be complete you as a human being as a Jew have to have to try to reach have to try to attain completeness schut it's called not only SCH where your mitvah is Good from the beginning to end but your character traits are good from beginning to end you're not only good at business you're also good at learning you're not only good at learning you're good at uh character traits ethics and so on and so forth some people know how to learn but they don't know how to behave some people know how to behave but they don't know how to learn meaning you a Jew has to do everything possible to reach so that's another lesson you can learn from theah but there's many many other ones you could probably talk about it for 50 years but those just a couple and that do have at least a half hour to an hour worth yes I heard from from women are not obligated to DOI where do we get women are not obligated to DOI what do you mean my have right so that's right and wrong it's right it's correct and it's incorrect it's correct that she's not obl a woman is not obligated to do time bound but she is obligated to pray once per day a woman is obligated to say once a day and once a day when she does it is up to her but uh she's not obligated to do it at a specific time like aand does but as far as the uh you know the the specific MIT that women are obligated to do because they have a different responsibility in the world a woman is supposed to raise the home a woman is supposed to take care of the kids and uh if you spent one day as a woman you realize that it's very very difficult to to do that plus learn t plus Provide Plus do all the things that the man is responsible for and one of the main things that we see that t says is that each person has a role in the world each gender has a role in the world and the role of the uh men is to learn to provide the uh the role of the women in the world is to raise the home that's why the talks about women also many times the call their wives bite they call their wives home she's my home wherever she is that's my home why because she's the one that's responsible for the home so as far as to uh because she's responsible for such a significant part of the Jewish life hasem you know removed certain obligations because that's not their priority so a woman is obligated to learn the basics she needs to learn the of Shabbat she needs to learn the the things that apply to her the things that apply to her but the things that apply are not time bound because when you're managing the kids and you have to change diapers in the morning you have to take kids to school and you have to manage just just average morning for for a mother is a if she has you know three four five six seven kids it's a uh it'll be impossible for any one of these women to uh to go to a minan and hasem does not want to give somebody a mitvah that he knows for sure you're going to fail he didn't create you in order to destroy you he didn't create you in order to punish isue so the MIT that he obligated us and any test that he obligates us is something that he knows for sure we could achieve and for a woman to achieve Manan unless she stays single her whole life uh it would simply be impossible for her to to achieve anything else yes so in those days in the days of the Torah in theem says to you you be holy being holy doesn't just mean doing being holy also has a different definition it says don't beim when is say don't beim don't be promiscuous also means it's a it's a different way to describe promiscuity so promiscuity is something that's this you know something that hasem finds disgusting so when a woman is a promiscuous and uh she's uh a problem to the people and in those days they had a it was forbidden it was forbidden to do it so it was a death penalty the fact that she had a baby or didn't have a baby was was not part of the consideration why she fulfilled she did a specific a a and death the punishment for that a is death penalty they're not thinking about oh wait in nine months from now or in six months from now there's going to be two kids and we're going to save those kids that's not that's not part of the consideration that person violated Shabbat that person drove on Shabbat even if he if she was eight months pregnant they would still kill her not because they want to kill the kids because she the one that until they come into this world they have a different uh part of the world they're still considered human beings anyone that has an abortion is considered 100% a murderer but when the Torah gives you the right to kill somebody then it says in essence it's AEM killing the person not you you're just being the hand so the San but the says if a San killed one person every seven years there's something wrong with that s meaning even though the Torah talks about death penalty very often it was very rare for them to actually exercise that death penalty at the time of the Torah the time of was before before was during the time of only oral t no written T So at those times there was different restrictions and of course at that point she also brought a desecration to the family name and so on and so forth but as far as consideration for the baby uh that that's been unborn that uh they don't take take that into account when it's when they're evaluating a sinner you know as far as the the the bed does not evaluate what's the future because there's no guarantee that baby will be born there's no guarantee she will survive the birth what's guaranteed is what's happened today what's happened today we don't punish or reward anybody based on the future punish them and reward them based on today that's why when they asked asked how come hasem did not kill ishma when he knew that his descendants are going to torture his children because is himself did chv is himself did cha the fact that his descendants are still torturing us today he cannot be punished for that why because that's the future he has to be punished or rewarded based on him based on what he did and he eventually did cha next yes so I've heard from another Rabbi before that during the um during the before Mia comes is that there's going to be like a regression in how many there are in the world and so I was wondering is that if there's becoming less and less wouldn't that mean that the level of Torah in the world goes lower making it harder for the people to uh no not necessarily just because there's less uh wise people doesn't necessarily mean that there's going to be less Chua um it's just a uh I'll give you I'll give you a um explanation it's a little different at the time of thear you see that the details that the debate have endless amount of Secrets endless amount of lessons you could read the same G A Thousand Times same page a thousand times and still learn something new the details that they went into and that you can learn from the words they used is incomprehensible fast forward time of he condensed it more specific but still you could learn a lot you see the way the when they write they write questions answers they give you all the different aspects of that they understand of these holy questions and these answers and you'll see about let's say what do you do if there's something that looks like blood in an egg 17 Pages explaining who what when and how for us today where you could buy an egg for less than a dollar just throw out the egg and buy a whole dozen already what do you care but that's how you learn cared about all the minutest details the time of mashia which is where we find ourselves the vast majority of am is unfortunately is ignorant to such an extent that to teach the intricate details of Al is simply a waste of time why most people today most people today need to be taught simply M which is do this don't do this stop stealing put some clothes on stop cheating learn a little bit every day and consider hasem into your life every day literally you have to teach people basic ethics basic ethics and how to dress vast majority of today which means that the of the is not relevant to the generation majority of it but the ones that it is relevant to them the real that spend hours and hours and days and months and years in their lifetime at the K learning Tor at night in the morning in afternoon they have an endless amount of Torah already available for them for thousands of years already and they will be able to literally learn for millions of years just from the stuff we have available as far as the the rest of the stuff that's it's applicable for the rest of the people majority of the people today they need to learn how to keep Shabbat 90% of right now does not keep Shabbat which means to teach them the intricate details of whether to eat the egg that has something that looks like a piece of blood is not relevant to most people why the egg is not going to matter to him he's aab he's in a different class let him eat the egg all day and all night just stop violating Shabbat For Heaven's Sake you understand so it's not it's not that is giving us a lacking in any way Shalom is that he's giving us specific things for a specific generation he's catering to the generation every generation has the that are good for them that is applicable to them that's the design Hashem gave the generation the only generation that could have handled mosenu was the generation of Egypt if mosenu was was here today if he was here today he would not be allowed to enter in any Sho in the world they'd call him fanatic they'd probably try to kill him mosenu would not be allowed to enter anyway why he'd literally give a death penalty to almost every single person so m is not here he's there at the time of mashia you're not gonna be able to go up to m a high five hey Moshe what's up buddy it's is something we can't even comprehend if you can see him from 500 miles away maybe so again it's not applicable it's not applicable but if somebody wants to delve into the endless wisdom of the Torah he's never going to lack because that's available we have endless amount of from hundreds and hundreds of years and that's the one major thing that Judaism has over any religion in the world we have better documentation better details of our Torah of our lineage of our history and in general history than anybody else in the world I think we covered enough ground next year is going to be on Sunday Sunday we're back here hope you guys enjoyed it thank you for learning with me a couple questions good is there a limit on how Wicked you can be is there a limit no oh raffle raffle what uh is there a limit no I mean Hitler um no there's also no limit of how righteous you can be you have a full potential each person has a full potential full potential of wickedness full potential of righteousness um but it's a it's not necessarily like uh he could worst he can do is murder one person no not just you have free choice free choice to exercise good or bad can if someone knew for sure who Amal was but he didn't want to kill him because he's afraid of going to jail not you don't know you don't know anybody who nobody knows who Amal is I heard I heard the V know who it was is not here we're saying today nobody today knows who amik is nobody today knows I'm no one's allowed to kill anybody excuse me yeah but the Villa go didn't kill him didn't kill him my leg he didn't he didn't I don't know e [Music] l [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music] he [Music]
