[Music] we're back here on our Tuesday night uh sh in Avent at we havean this will be for for elzar Ben Esther mindel also for um Leana bat SAR Sarat Lana Leana ysep benana benit ranar an David benri Doris B and all of will have and also for the success of uh Abel uh and Christie as well as the success of elad Ben benis uh success in success in success in completing their mission in this world oh and also for eventually by the time we remember her name she won't need anymore she'll be already healthy enough to give us a sh how many times I forget the name um for all those people that think I actually have a good memory shows you so the selective so um the ran has been educating us and a few people have um really connected to this series more than the others you know different people connect to different things this is why it's a um I always tell you guys it has nothing to do with me it's only the Torah each has a uh is tuned it's different times of its life to different things and you have to make sure that you listen to yourself uh that you chase the em but the same token where uh you know not only where the EMT is but also certain things that you're attracted to yourself there are times in your life that you're going to uh like to learn more than you like to learn M and there are certain times in your life that you like to learn M more than you like to learn that doesn't mean that you stop learning one or the other it means that uh maybe you add a little bit extra to the one that you connect to more if you studying let's say an hour of each a day uh Al uh then you like to learn m a little bit okay so now you go an hour and 15 minutes of Al and stay with the hour of M doesn't mean we don't necessarily just study what we like but the point is is that take advantage of certain times when you connect to a certain uh part of the tah but also sometimes if a person is wise they're going to go over certain sh and I've told I've said this many times in the past is that they uh each sh for example for me um every sh that does I go over it usually at least twice uh and even though I don't have time to people always ask me oh did you hear such and such Sho I say no oh did you hear that one sh no I don't hear any shoing but why cuz I'm part of the sh number one number two uh that's part of my learning but those sh I'll spend twice on and the reason why is because again I connect to it and if I'm already going to listen to sh I want to walk walk away with knowledge not just motivation you know many people when they watch they want to get motivation which is good it's important to have motivation it's going to get you through the day maybe through the week but you also have to walk away with something more than just motivation because Mo motivation dissipates you may be motivated today tomorrow the next day but after a while that motivation deteriorates over time so you have to do something that's going to last a little longer and that's where knowledge comes in if you remember specific things that you wrote down that you actually even go over your notes once in a while or at the very least you wrote them down in the notebook then you've actually committed this knowledge to to uh this information to memory because when you simply hear something that means you're only using two senses you're using your eyes and you're using your ears if you're seeing something visually but if you write something down that means that you're using multiple senses more than that because you're also using your touch you're using your eyes you're using your ears it's a it becomes something that is much more uh closer to you something that you commit to memory more and most importantly something that you're going to remember remember when you need it uh so that's why sometimes it's good to uh to hear sh a couple of times uh it's sometimes even better to hear one sh that really motivated you or that really HTE the spot for you twice better than hearing uh two different sh uh again but you have to know yourself you have to know yourself I have one guy that I know that uh he is a serious but also he watches many many and that's part of his learning but he watches to the extent where he commits them to Memory uh where if you ask him a question he's not only going to give you an answer he's going to give you the Sho that it says it he's going to show oh yeah this Rabbi says it over here I approximately at this minute and it's usually that minute and it's very very important because that means that you have now studied that like you study a but if you just study you just watch all day like a machine and it's like background music it's good to have it it's definitely better than the nonsense that people listen to all day but it's not going to help you sometimes as much as it should uh so it's very critical to write down the information and like I said myself I don't have time to watch as many shim as I used to I used to uh watch I used to listen to uh five six seven eight shim a day sometimes uh would listen the periods of time where literally I would have a CD of on and simply just go through it until I passed out uh or I would listen to or combination of the two or I went through uh a bunch of and others and so on point is is that if you ask me for certain questions I could usually tell you who else said it and when they said it uh and the reason why is not that I have some uh unique memory I uh try I try I try to learn the like I try to learn sometime I have more success with one over the other if you utilize theim like you're supposed to you could actually become a very well-versed Jew simply by studying sh also you need to learn some books as well but you can become a well-versed Jew by shim but if you listen to shim like it's music meaning you know you listen to it like passively you'll get the motivation but usually for maybe one part of the shoe or two parts of this shoe but that motivation will dissipate and you'll forget about it two three weeks later they ask you hey by the way you remember when Rabbi ruen said such and such no no clue what you talking about when what he said something like that he goes yeah you're the one that told me two weeks ago oh I said it oh yes you probably said it then like you forgot that you said it because it's uh you forgot you didn't commit it to memory and because you're already spending the time you know people spend so much time listening to that uh I only see few few in number that actually study them many many listen but very few study them and the ones that study them you see how they advance and how they progress you see how sometimes they remind me certain things that I said I remember when betel was here he says uh so Rabbi when such and such happened in that story and I said I asked him like I don't know I don't think I've ever heard of the story he goes what do you mean you're the one that told me the story in a three weeks ago three months ago six months ago eight months ago whenever it was and knew knew this better than me this is fantastic that's a person that's studying that's a person that's studying and again it's a uh advice to anyone that wants to utilize the shim to the best of their uh capacity now same thing goes with this you uh one um one particular woman that was having a lot of marriage issues she started watching our some time ago and uh she got a lot of help from different about and and so on and so forth but she tells me that the cure for her marriage issues was this series I don't know who how and how it affected her but apparently she learned exactly what she needed to learn about her marriage from this series now some people they're going to learn exactly what they need to learn from the series some people going to learn it from the series some people going to learn it from some of the random lectures that I do which is no not part of a series different like one woman for example she simply rewired our entire brain and how she relates and connects to sensuality and modesty and so on based on one sh that we did about it's called kosher intimacy that sh has helped more people rewire their brains than almost any other sh that we've done and it's a uh it's amazing because it's not necessarily like I said some extraordinary stories I I brought you some debuk over here to give an interview I didn't do nothing I just told you what the rambam said but no one ever heard this before in their life the stuff they heard has been a complete Distortion of the rambam or anything like it and for the first time in their life they understood the beauty not just the power but the beauty of modesty and the beauty of how modesty can be uh applied even inside the bedroom now that person didn't hear the sheer one time that person heard the she a few times and some of them continue to hear it every so often why because they want to be reminded and want to have that same feeling so if you have have one of the sh if we had the Merit to affect you by simply repeating what kazal said in a certain way have that sh on a certain playlist aside from sharing it like we talked about a few days ago with at least 10% of the people that you know but aside from that have like a separate playlist that you have of shim that you go over it's going to be like you know people collect uh books on their shelves and really most of the time never read them but hopefully they do collect sh certain that this one this is the best this is the one I got to listen to once a week this is the one I got to listen to once a month this is the one I got to listen to whenever I get down this is when I get I uh you know I'm really excited this that have a collection of shim that are really really going to affect you because again it's uh if something is good don't be uh in such a hurry to replace it or to abandon it or to Simply assume you're going to remember it uh because it just doesn't work that way the works very very hard hard and one of his tasks is to affect your memory now there are many things the gar says there are many things that affect a person's memory and for the Tor is one of them if a person has a lot of kav for the Tor his memory will improve if a person does not have k for the Torah his memory will deteriorate the page 33b rzz hos the rabbi of RAB AKA one of the biggest giants that's ever lived to the extent that when he spoke and taught Tor the light that mhu had on his face was on R's face imagine you're sitting in a room it's dark rabos walks into the room it's dark there's no light there's no like chandeliers for $5,000 nothing no electricity not even candle light nothing all of a walks in nobody knows yet he starts saying one all of a sudden the whole room is like whoa whoa put the glasses on that's what happened that's how much K had so if he says something we have to take it seriously said any Torah student here he doesn't distinguish between males and females even though generally speaking Torah students are males where they study the ISA but nonetheless he says any Torah student who fails to stand up respectfully for his Rabbi and his teacher is called rash and he's destined to forget his Torah knowledge now why is R hok scaring the Daylights out of this entire generation that not only does not respect rabbis but they actually insult them if they don't like one thing that they said they heard shim for three years straight everything good they changed their life they got married they got divorced they got the kids they whatever they did the rabbi was there to help them along the way and their ups and their downs and everything but one day the rabbi said something ah you know like you didn't like it so much why because it affected you but it wasn't fake it wasn't false news it wasn't fake news it was the truth you just didn't like it all of of a sudden what do they do they want to M they want to hang the guy in public uh like Yos want to crucify him they want the guy to M die the worst death in the world they like the Nazis More Than This Rabbi why because he said one thing that you didn't like this generation has such a lack of respect for for rabbis that right now told us forget about the disrespect disrespect you want to hear what happens to people at disrespect rabis people disrespect go to there's a specific section about them there's a specific chamber just for them just for those people for disrespect but we're not talking about disrespecting we're talking about the rabbi walked into the room you're learning you're learning your your your you're listening you're doing something not like just uh playing with your phone you're actually learning the rabbi walks in and you're just like what's up Rabbi you said what's up you said what's up no problem says that puts you in a category of criminal Wicked but that's not enough he says he says not only but now you're G to you're going to forget what you learned how much of it I don't know could be everything could be some of it all I know is not good which means us is trying to tell us if you do not respect a that means you do not respect the Tor if you don't respect the Torah you no longer have the permission to possess it you've lost the right to hold the key for the Torah Yeah but I studed and I told over it yeah good for you but who gave you the toah knowledge he gave it to you now he doesn't want to give it to you anymore why you don't respect it you don't value it it's like somebody gave you a special gift and instead of uh valuating and appreciating what do you do you put it under the laundry they come into the room like oh where's that uh special diamond bracelet with uh connected to the ring that I spent my life savings on where is it honey I don't know it's maybe it's over there under the underwear you know that one over there maybe it's over there give me give me give give me back the ring give me give me the ring give me the ring you know what give me give me the theba also give me give me you don't you respect what I spend my life savings on you don't value it give it back to me that is a very very clear warning from what does it mean to respect the respect doesn't always mean respect the sages from 500 years ago or a thousand years ago or respect theim that when you pick them up you kiss them or respect the that when you take it out you kiss it or the M or it's not just that respecting the to means Al from beginning to end because if somebody has the Merit to possess Tor and teach it that means that aadh decided to use this person for a reason they made certain sacrifices if someone likei walks into a room and you say what's up rabbi I'm not really sure if you if you actually understand the damage that you're causing to yourself would not even care most of the time I'll tell you why you standing up well you look behind them maybe the uh one of the walked in or something he's not going to know why why he standing up but that's the key you're not standing up specifically for him you're standing up for the Torah that he has so it's important to know that if you're going to learn if you're going to learn from and you're not going to give those sh the proper respect you're bound to lose that knowledge you come to empty-handed you're sitting leg over leg like you're in a movie you're like this ohab back to the phone with the phone my wife hasn't text me in a few want okay let me text her honey how you doing LOL oh Rabbi it was good if that's how you watch a Sho in popcorn is popcorn coming out of your ears is oil all over your shirt It's Entertainment it's not sh so why do you why do you get surprised that when the the Satan all the same thing thear says different names different ways that the Satan attacks you it attacks you in some way your yet whether it's money or it's a woman or it's a guy or it's kids or it's something he shows up you fail immediately all the T that you know all those sh that you've watched for the last few years it's as if you didn't even know anything you didn't remember anything and you simply have no Shield whatsoever to defend yourself why why do you think that's the case the reason why is because you didn't know you watch this like you you watch a music video entertainment so meaning it's a waste respect the Torah respect the Torah means toil over it try a little harder write notes stay awake if you can't stay awake then force yourself to stay awake uh it's it's it's not easy I promise you it's not easier for me than it is for you but I could tell you that if the more you toil over the toah the harder you try to get something the more your mind will be opened because says Ah good you passed the level I'll open it a little bit more you pass the level I'll open it a little bit what's the level level is based on how much sacrifice you're going to make for the Tor why because sacrifice is something that is done only for the sake of something that you value you're not going to sacrifice your life for a marriage you don't want you're not going to sacrifice your life for a job that you care less about you're not going to sacrifice your life for a Torah that uh you care less whether you know it or not which means that if you do sacrifice you love her you love the job and you love the Torah that's why it's I see I see sometimes there's certain people that watch my two three four years some of them have become serious couple of people have actually already become rabbis rabis have ail on the other hand some other people watch the shim just as much just as as as long 3 four years same be I met four years ago nothing has changed I asked him you watch my shoe he goes what do you mean every shoe all the time you're on my you're on my phone or on my call the time I'm failing you or there's something wrong how is it affecting all the other people like this and you like that I mean okay let's say within the first few months there's some Kip so many s a certain person made so they weren't getting it but after an extended period of time you stayed the same while everybody else is already at a different level there's something wrong here something wrong with the learning that's the key so sometimes to admit these mistakes we have to Humble ourselves because no one wants to admit that they've been wasting so much of their time and uh they've been doing something wrong they always want to blame somebody else but the truth is is that every person knows themselves knows when they're failing knows when they succeed and knows that when something is hitting the nerve that means that it's an indication that that uh you know there's something to it requires further investigation now the ran here is telling us each and every single week we have to reinvestigate ourselves regularly reinvestigate ourselves to such a high extent that we literally have been studying what one sentence at a time out of this letter and it's not even enough the two three hours that we talk about each each uh sentence is not even giving it the full service it requires it's just giving us a little bit of an impression of what we could learn from it we've learned about how much damage a person can cause themselves as a result of anger and not controlling themselves we learn how valuable humility is in regards to how hasem loves it and how you have to act a certain way physically exterior wise in order to to actually have it enter into your n yeah we learn a few things but now the ran is giving us a little bit further he told us that not only do we have to be humble in our actions but we have to be humble in our mind so now the raban is going to tell us what does this actually look like in real life what does humility look like in real life and he says the following let all men seem greater than you in your eyes he didn't say some men he didn't say the tall ones or the short ones the good good-looking ones the badl looking ones the black ones the green ones didn't say that he didn't say women men let all men meaning all of everyone everyone is better than you what do you mean what about all the stuff that I did shouldn't I get some credit should I get some props for it I was valid dictorian I was valid something I was uh I was all types of stuff I have all types of certificates shouldn't I get some credit for it shouldn't everybody stand up for me no no no let all men seem greater than you in your eyes which means that this has more to do with how you view people not necessarily how people view you if another person is wiser or wealthier than yourself you must show him respect meaning that even if it's something that perhaps may not necessarily have much to do with his own efforts we know that Hashem is the one that gives you your iqm is not you're not uh you know uh building your IQ by yourself sometimes people are born Geniuses as we said on Sunday in a cried about the fact that he was born such a genius because he knew that had he not been born such a genius he would actually have more same thing with money anyone that understands who's the one that's providing we'll see the and also both 16a 16b say that a decides how much money he's going to give you on until the next R but this P that he gives you does not include how much you're going to spend on shabat on on which means that the higher a level your is the more money you're going to spend on why because that's not included in your you got let's say for example decided he's going to give you $100,000 this year okay some people are saying some people are saying Shalom you know and it depends on what your income is currently just add a zero deducted Zer whatever it is point is this is a hypothetical example decided to give you $100,000 now when did he decide decid how he's going to give it to you is determined based on every day based on your actions but don't think that this is going to limit your Mitzvah capabilities like some people think no no I could only give $110,000 this year why because I made $100,000 I could only give $10,000 that means that I have to I can't spend $1,500 on I can't spend the extra, on CDs I can't spend the extra, to help this uh poor people I can't do this I can't do that I have my budget you ask a guy okay what about uh you know spending money on a special Mitzvah unique mitz even after you gave you m no no I already gave my M that's a wrong mentality what about shab how come your Shabbat still looks homeless you're still eating tun out of a can how come you're spending $3 on Shabbat no cuz I gave all my money inaka I gave all my money in expenses mistake mistake is he did not learn the the says decides what your is but that's excluding your money that you're going to spend on MIT which means that if you decide to spend $300 or $3,000 every week because you havea not because you're crazy because you have that will pay you back for this MIT because you are honoring Shabbat you are honoring the you're honoring the Tora you're honoring you know K and so on and so forth you're doing this mitvah you're spending the money on this mitvah because this mitvah is important to you and you believe that will give you the money back then guess what I'll give you the money back sometimes it works a week later a day later 6 months later point being is it it is not going to affect your overalla for the year even though the number of your salary Remains the Same you're not getting new jobs every week will find a way to give you the money or better yet sometimes you were supposed to have certain expenses meaning that you are still going to get $100,000 your salary is $100,000 but before you did all these mitv in reality you only going to actually net after all expenses $5,000 why because you have expens you live a certain lifestyle and after all said and done you have $5,000 left out of the $100,000 worth of work $5,000 was actually saved in the bank at the end of the year because you had your rent and your mortgage and your this and you're that all that stuff you're left with $5,000 which by the way is on a that's actually a good example most people at the end of the year negative 15,000 they made 100,000 negative 15,000 every year they add more debt no one knows how to save any money that's why M has to be from the gross not from the net because it was from the net no will be given no one has any money left everybody overspends but the point is is that a person spent $100,000 and he was supposed to have $5,000 but because he used a certain amount of money to theat certain to give for the sake of T to sponsor every month to give for K every every month every week whatever it is because of that says oh what you give oh you give 15 ,000 for no problem now instead of keeping 5,000 like you were supposed to anyway you'll keep 20,000 how I'll just remove a bunch of expenses from your life suddenly you don't need this insurance because the company uh made a mistake suddenly you don't need this uh car repair because your car is not going to break down suddenly you're not going to need this medical expense because you're simply not going to get sick certain expenses that you were going to have are not going to happen and therefore you end up keeping more so Hashem has an infinite amount of waste to give you more money point is I just listed just a couple there is notom to ever limit has an infinite amount of waste to give you more and I see with my own eyes every single month a somebody asked me one time when we first started out uh I said well you know and I left the business he said well how you going to live I said Hashem he said what hasem send you money I said yeah he goes how does he send you wi transfer or uh PayPal I said he uses all types of ways says no no but how are you going to live I said AEM seriously I'm not joking hem is going to send me money like yeah but your rent is this and your kids are this and your wife is this and this is this you have all types of expenses you really good I said yeah that's what I'm going to do so they couldn't understand it I don't how does this work I said I'm going to do what he says and he's going to do what he says and this continued and uh one time one time the uh the same person gave me uh gave me some money and uh I said thank you because regardless of who what when now you always have to be grateful and um after a little while they said listen um I'm not really sure if I'll be able to give any anymore I said okay no problem he goes yeah but how you going to pay rent I said AEM he goes no no but I'm not going to be able to give you anymore I said so hasem will send somebody else what do you think I'm living off of you you think that I'm actually living because you're sending me a few dollars if that's what you think stop giving now cuz what do you mean you don't you don't you don't value what I give you I said no no has nothing to do with it I value and I appreciate what you do but never for a second think that I'm alive because of you if it wasn't you it would be somebody else why Hashem runs the world you decided to be a vessel for hem to do his will when you decide to stop if you decide to stop Hashem will find a way he was a a little bit taken back because usually people give money they want to get a little bit of uh you know extra cavod for it I'm not exactly the best person to give kavod for that number one because I tell people things how they are and number number two I'm also used to being on the other side so you're giving me a couple of dollars you want me to make a big deal out of it listen remember I used to live a life that wasn't exactly depending on staka so anyway some time passed and uh the money dried up he wasn't able to give and uh few months later he asked me he goes how you doing I said everything is good he goes yeah but I'm not giving you anymore I said yeah but I have more money now goes how I said AEM send more people send more ways goes what you're telling me now you have more than what I had I'm like yeah I even have a bigger house and a bigger this and a bigger everything is better why CU hasem decided to you somebody else what do you mean it's not you it's him this is very very important for a person to know you need to understand where your money comes from where his money comes from where everybody's money comes from the more we understand where the money comes from the more we understand how to treat it this does not mean that you disrespect it or you give it extra respect point is you need to understand where it's coming from but nonetheless the ran here says that if somebody does have money you have to treat him with a certain level of kavod you have to give him respect because he has money because hasm decid to use him as a vessel if somebody has more wisdom you also have to give a certain amount of cavod I don't think we'll cover more than that there it even goes further where if somebody is a uh uh makes certain sins you have to C look at them in a certain way we'll see how much we covered today but so far we'll we'll try to cover the money aspect of it now the key is that sometimes when we acquire things who gives us a uh certain uh car or house or whatever it is certain privilege that he gave us certain gift that he gave us we forget ourselves we forget who's the one that gave it to us sometimes we never even think that they gave it to us and this is one of the critical mistakes that is putting that gift as a risk now there was one time a guy that was learning every day became a but this unfortunately did not learn so he learned a lot of you asked him a certain law he'd tell you what it is and where it is but as far as his behavior wasn't necessarily so great how do we know because the story goes that every day you would leave early in the morning go to the BET midash to go learn at the same time his neighbor would go to work now this poor neighbor he's going to work he's not going to learn but this guy is he's going to learn he's having a good time now every day when they would meet they would say hello but despite the fact that the worker looks at with respect wow this is our future this is our past it's our present guy's going to learn to in his mind he had so much respect for him because he says I can't do it I don't have enough I don't have enough I don't have a lot of things maybe I don't even have enough brain I have to go work this guy wow every day you would admire him just looking at like you know like you're happy to see the guy that didn't learn on the other hand didn't look the same way about this uh worker this average guy what you say this guy he has no purpose in the world fool doesn't even know who hasem is doesn't know nothing he barely even uh knows how to put in I saw him in the put on if he's doing it the right way the guy doesn't know any M by heart the guy doesn't know much purposeless life life he frowns upon the guy's keeping he's not a he's not a criminal but this guy's looking at him as if he is why because he's not learning to like him and every day as the uh Bal the worker admires the the is frowning upon the balab as time would have it eventually they both go both go to the bed of Mala the bed of shamay at the same time and while the gets the surprise of his life is that even though he had a lot of to that he learned his complete misuse of it where he did not learn midot he did not perfect his character trait came back to haunt him but at a place that he can't really do anything about it the Gina says that if you lived in this world and you did not fixure M do there was no purpose to your life that's a purposeless life why you didn't do anything what' you do you learned Tor but you didn't actually fix yourself you uh have a lot of money but you didn't actually buy any toah with it what did you do with your life nothing no purpose to your life in sh they said you are guilty even though you learned T every time you frowned upon this person that was a sin and another another s because he wasn't the only one you frown upon you have to go spend a little bit of time in gay the worker on the other hand even though he didn't learn as much T because he valued T so much he would give part of his money for tah he would give part of his money to help other people learn toah that made up for his lack of learning Torah to such an extent that every hour that he spent working was considered as if he spent it learning when a person gives 10 or 20 % of their gross salary for the sake of K for the sake of publicizing tah real tah not fake tah now takes the entire 100% money that you acquired from working and turns it as if you learn toah why because that's really what you're doing you're working yeah you're buying stuff with it also you're buying a house you're buying a car you're buying all kinds of stuff but in reality he's not telling you to spend all the money on tah he's telling you to spend a certain amount of money on depending again on how much you have if you're a multi-millionaire you have $100 million and obviously you have to give a lot more than 10 or 20% but if you're an average person you have to give and if you do it for the sake of Tora because you hon the Tor your job turns into as if you're learning T so this is how critical it is to use your money effectively but also to know that even if you are learning you have to know that you have to perfect yourself learning by default is not enough you have to work on your character Trace there are many there are many people that learning in yes that may consider themselves and maybe they even considered by other people as but the calls them why because they have badid they have bad character traits the says with badid a dead animal in the middle of the street is better than him and the reason why is because the Torah is the instructions of how to emulate God how to act like him how to have good traits like him if you used the same Torah that's supposed to be to improve you supposed to be used an instruction manual to improve you and and you misuse it to such an extent where actually made you worse or you stayed the same the dead animal has more use than you why cuz it's still going to be food for other creat it's still going to serve a certain purpose you serve no purpose if you don't have good mid and you learn now the uh mitvah of respecting the Tor respecting is not a suggestion it's actually in the Torah The Book of Leviticus chter 19 verse 32 says arise respectfully before the elderly honor the presence of a scholar and be in fear of your God so here we see there's three parts three mitv here if you see an elderly always assume that this elderly has more MIT than you this elderly has more knowledge than you more experience than you you have to respect him standing up a uh you know to give a seat to an older person is not just good manners it's secondly if you're a uh in a presence of a scholar also stand also arise why because this is standing up for the Torah if they take out the SE from from thees everybody has to stand everybody has to stand if a Ben walks in everybody has to stand now lastly be in fear of your god what does fear of your God have to do with anything says that's the reason why you're doing the first two that's the reason why you're doing all of the MIT because you have now when a person shows outward signs of respecting of the wise respecting he becomes inspired to emulate their example that's what says what's the source says the the mid the mid says that one of the sages Ren was so humble that anytime he saw that there's a bunch of people sitting in a certain place he would walk around so they don't see him why he didn't want to bother them you didn't want to bother them you want to continue you know want to continue say that they're learning they're doing stuff you don't want everybody to stand for him even though he's you didn't want him to stand for him so you would go around and go somewhere else but then rosi one of the T rebuked them says no you see people there they're sitting you go there let them stand up why because when they see you and they stand up because you're a Torah scholar that is also going to affect their heart they're going to say wow I have to give so much k for the T look how much T learned look everybody else is standing up and that's going to actually motivate them to do the same thing to go learn T also this is why one of the uh big uh big kiru rabbis one time was asked um what about you know sometimes you have lectures three four 5,000 people big lectures and you know people in they especially safaris they have a lot of you know they see him they kiss their hands they you know all types of things and uh now you have one guy kiss you okay no big deal it's uh depends who the guy is but nonetheless it's you have 3,000 people want to kiss your hand even if you like all of them like by the end of the day you want to take the hand let me go so the guy interviewed him says listen what's this whole thing about the kissing the hand the rabbi the rabbi tells him he goes tell you the truth I hate it I find it disgusting find it disgusting I don't people kiss my hand go so why do you do it he go it's for them it's not for me they want to give honor for the Torah I am obligated to let them do it because that's their way of showing honor for the Torah has nothing to do with me so thisai is strange it's strange to a culture today that spends a lot of time going after rabbis in a negative way you see part of the world honors rabbis to the extent where they want to kiss their feet and the other part is like bash goes to war with rabbis this one guy that was uh learning our sh for a little while came here a few times one time he realized that he has to change his entire life so he's a weak loser who did not want to change his life he wanted to continue making every sin Under the Sun so he decided to make all types of excuses of why he doesn't want to come to the shim eventually he went back to his old ways and became rashu but that's not enough why because he knows that we still exist he knows that other people are continuing to advance while he is going deteriorating back to Gom that he came from so this bothers him he does not he can't he can't live with the fact that this is the right thing to do and you should join it why cuz if he's not doing it cannot be the right thing to do so what does he do he sends me all types of messages either threatening me or insulting me you know just because he wants to make himself feel good these are sick people unfortunately but what does that show that shows that even though he's sending all these despicable messages he still knows the truth cuz if it was fake why would it bother you why would it bother you to such an extent that you would have to spend a certain time out of your day making bad comments on the Internet or putting a negative or telling people bad things like why why do you care so much you don't care so much about the public about anything else it's not like you're helping all of the deck dogs that are lying in the streets it's not like you're helping all of the homeless in Venezuela it's not like you're helping all of the homeless in San Francisco you're not helping anybody else in any other way why do you decide to become a public servant here with with this means that you still know it's the truth and it bothers you that you're not part of it because you're a loser PL plain and simple but the point is is that most of the time when people fall off they don't necessarily always become they don't always necessarily go against the Torah few and far in between so if they come back you try you have to try your best to to accept them and give them a chance why because just like you asked the for a million and a half chances you have to also give people chances couple of times we had people that uh did it and uh despite the uh headaches that they gave us they came back we made it seem as if it never happened why that's the job it's annoying it takes a lot a lot of strength and willpower but when you realize who your boss is uh you do what he says now the uh sages teach us that when it comes to money when it comes to money a person needs to understand very very well where is the source of this money like where is this money coming from meaning who is giving him the money and uh that's literally one of theim one of theim that a person needs to rece recite every day there are 10 remembrances 10 things that a person must remember every day that hasem gave us the to in Mount sa that he gave us the Mitzvah of of of Shabbat the Mana bread that he gave us food from Heaven that he uh uh when bak and wanted to curse and killed them turn it into a blessing and so on and so forth but one of the one of the main things that a person has to remember every single day is where's your money coming from you have to remember this because if you do not know where money comes from you're bound to become a with or without a with or without a now the sages teach us that when a person acknowledges that his money is a gift from a it turns his wealth into literally a true divine blessing because not only does he have money but he knows who gave it to him which means he knows how to use it he's going to know how to use it if he doesn't know if he doesn't know who gave it to him if he thinks or she thinks she's the one that made it that's going to make it very hard for them to use it the right way and the reason why is because if he feels like he is the one that worked really hard for it and someone comes to collect Daka someone comes and says listen we need to to raise a half a million dollars a million dollars to uh you know order some CDs to help people stop wasting seed we need to raise 1010 million to open a Yesa real Yesa for everybody and you happen to be a vessel that put into the world that we can use to get a 100,000 to get 200,000 to get a half a million from the guy says to himself wa do you mean what just because I have money you're coming to me what makes you think that I'm the I'm the vessel maybe it's him maybe it's her why why do you think I am reason why because you have money that's makes you a vessel you can choose not to be the vessel you can choose to say no but that means that you don't know where the money comes from now it's only when a person sees that his gain is is his entire income is a product of his own uh of his uh of his own doing that his money turns into a curse and literally becomes toxic the mid says that literally a person's income can either either be a blessing where you literally see feel 24 hours a day even if you're not in or it's m being a soldier of the Satan himself because of the same money now about 800 years ago there was a that wrote and he writes that somebody asked them one time how come that uh we see that there's a lot of a they look to befriend the rich people the wealthy people but the wealthy people never usually look for any to be friends with how come so says that's because the they appreciate the true value of wealth they know where it came from they know how to use it they know that in essence for him to give he's really receiving he can buy his with this money or he can buy uh none of such a good place they understand the true value of money they're understand hasem gifted him something and they're trying to help him use it even though it's also helping themselves but they know they're going to get the money regardless The Wealthy on the other hand do not appreciate appreciate the value of wisdom while the wise appreciate the value of wealth the wealthy do not appreciate the value of wisdom now and page 886a says that they uh would give a lot of Cav to rich people now the commentar say obviously we're not allowed to give to be to be kiss UPS so you cannot even imagine in your wildest dreams that were kissing up to people so the commentary says Where do we learn from here we learned from here that actually if you think if you start you learn the you're going to get to a point where you start seeing the and they themselves were very rich so they didn't need the money of the rich people when re would have a mitvah okay we need to raise $10 million to open in Florida we need to raise a million dollar for this we need to do that all types of things he had all the money he had hundreds and hundreds of horses and buildings and all typ he was a multi-billionaire not millionaire he didn't need any help any money but he would call all of his rich friends and say you want a piece of this mitvah you want a you want a million you want a million okay you got it auction whoever bids more you're going to get the you're going to get to be a be part of this mitvah why to give you some merits to give you some you have some money but that's not worth anything in unless you buy with it so why would rebi and RAB AKA who both very very rich give so much K to rich people because their humility was so extraordinary that when they themselves when Anda would walk around and the rich people would give them honor for kiss the hands kiss this they thought no they're not giving me any because of the Torah knowledge I don't know anything what do I know they give me respect because I'm also rich like them not because of Any Torah knowledge that's how humble they were they knew where the money came from they knew how to use it now on the other hand a person is not allowed to hide his wealth the gar says that there was a young man by name of buas buas Ben buas and he walked into the bet midash with just regular clothes and he learned a little bit and rados recognized them says who are you he say I'm buas Ben buas goes oh your father is a tycoon he says uh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah my father has uh he says then please tell him that rebi says that he failed miserably in dressing his son appropriately why you're not allow if you are rich you're not allowed to look like an average person you have to look rich now I don't mean you're going to go to Gucci and go buy a bunch of im's clothes and look like one of these people that are on television you need to look rich if you have literally millions of dollars you cannot go to S to Gap and buy a suit for $100 you got to buy respectable suit why people need to know you're rich why people need to be know you're rich because you're the vessel you are the vessel we need to know who and what is the vessel why cuz when we have a yes to open when we have certain sponsorships that need somebody to help we need to know how to identify you now today it's very difficult to identify who's rich because many of the rich people for example in like Hollywood type of places you see some of these rich people and I've met some of them literally if you didn't recognize their face from some screen you think they're homeless we literally would we would sit down on a table and there would be at least a million or two million dos on the table played cards and stuff like that everybody had a bunch of money nine people five people three people T tons and tons of money piles of money every single person one next to the other looks like he's going to go Beg For Change outside literally people walk wear these ripped shirts ripped pants their hair is like this they look like they just woke up some of them are wearing sweatpants like it's pajamas looks like he hasn't taken a shower in at least three months so you can't tell where'd you get who would you rub but then you find start talking to the guy oh yeah yeah I founded some biotechnology company yeah we sold it to uh fizer for uh $300 million $300 million maybe you should buy yourself a new pair of pant suit something you can afford it no spent it all maybe I I'll give you some money you go buy it people look homeless today they don't know how to dress they buy shirts now it's not that they the clothes is cheap they go to they go to places and they'll buy a400 or $500 t-shirt a t-shirt that you literally can buy from the flea market for two for 10 two two of them for $10 they'll buy for $500 why because it has Gucci on it or some other brand that some sick person from Paris decided to make uh to make uh make it $800 it's unbelievable what people pay for sneakers for t-shirts for jeans one guy I know has a collection of maybe like four or 500 pairs of jeans worth over a quar million dollars I I mean to me that simply sounds like a very sick person but you know how many of these sick people there are in the world today some of the guys that worked for me would tell me yeah I got a shoe collection I'm already at 300 pairs of sneakers I said why do you why do you have so many sneakers you can't wear them goes no I don't wear any of them I just wear one or two pairs I say so what do you do with them he goes I collect them collect sneakers it's oh every day you just wake up and you think you're in a dream but this is what's happening this and this is already 15 years ago I can imagine that today it's much worse the point is is that a person needs to look a certain way if uh you always have to look respectable someone asked me just a day or two ago is it okay to wear an expensive suit the answer is if that expensive suit is a respectable way to look then absolutely if it fits you meaning if you're wealthy no problem if you're broke and you spent your life savings on a $1,500 suit there's something wrong with you and that suit may actually be a tool for you to con people so it's not exactly a good idea also I'm not saying wear a garbage bag but look the part on the other hand if that suit whether it's expensive or cheap is one of these feminine looking suits that literally makes you look like a girl and guys clothing um then uh it's not allowed regardless of whether it's expensive or not CU I know that some of these suits that people wear they're three four $5,000 but even if it's free you're not allowed to wear it because they're so immodest they're so tight on the person and they will look a certain way and he's like what happened what happened to what happened to what this the hip way what hip what's hip about it I could see the the shape of your hips that's the only thing that's hip about it you have to look respectable respectable means something that's classic something that's Timeless and it has to look the part you have to look the part now the reason why a rich person is not allowed to look like he's homeless is because of the same reason why a is not allowed to be too humble meaning he's he has to be humble but there's a time and place for everything if let's say for example there's a sh program and the rabbi called it off he can't make it now there's already a crowd there's already 50 500 thousand people whatever there is but the speaker doesn't show up if you know Tor this is not the time to be humble stand up start teaching stand up start teaching why all of these people came here to learn toah this is not the time to pretend like you don't know anything start teaching people you're not allowed to hide your knowledge same concept if somebody asked you an you know the answer answer the question unless unless the rabbi is there the rabbi is there you not let the answer but if no one else is there don't pretend like you don't know anything there's a time and a place for everything so just like the scholar in his humility may not avoid his duty to teach and to Define questions of Torah law so too humility is inappropriate for the rich man if he's LED other people to to uh to deny his role as a financial backbone of the Jewish Community now the uh H in the seph page says once you've pondered upon the thought that you are nothing so long as you exist only for yourself and that you only become something when you mean something to others and that you only possess something when you share it with other people and that even the penny in your pocket is not yours but only BEC so when you spend it for a blessed purpose then you will rejoice in the great task to which God has called you he's teaching us one of the critical lessons of of money management if you want to have your money turn into a blessing start sharing it start sharing it but share it because you want to share it because you realize that's the purpose of it don't save for 8,000 rainy days if there's a cause use your money to do it a lot of people save money and save money and save money and die and give all that savings to somebody else they never actually use up their money they save save save save save save and then somebody else ends up getting the entire benefit they die with a bunch of savings you only become meaningful in this world the money only becomes yours when you give it to others when you use it the publicize toah when you help people with that money if all the money that you have is simply for you to accumulate it's not not only is the money meaningless but you become yourself meaningless now RAB AKA would constantly have debates with his heretic called tonus and tonus asked them a bunch of very difficult questions that the average person wouldn't have the answer for one time he asked him if who loves so much why does he make poor people people like people ask all the time if hasem is so good why do he make the Holocaust and people use that as a as a pretext excuse that that's the reason they don't believe in God or that's the reason they don't keep me which is complete nonsense if you actually understood what the Torah says You' know that not only did God make the Holocaust but he had all the reasons in the world to do even worse so ton asked ifem loves so much why does he make poor people and R AKA says in order to save the rich people from gay that's why makes poor people why has to have rules in the world he has certain people in the world he cannot make everybody Rich cuz then money would have no value he cannot make everybody poor because then again money would have no value he has to have a balance but that balance has more of a purpose than just poor or Rich because sometimes a rich person is going to be so busy managing his wealth he's not going to be able to learn as much to as he's really should he's not going to be able to acquire as much to as the person with less responsibilities with less money he gets emails and text messages all the way into the late night 3 4 o'clock in the morning he's still getting messages because he has so many things so many moving parts so many companies so many employees so many customers it's it's hard for him to get a a solid hour or two to learn to beyond that it's a miracle already but say wait a minute he's using he has money so how am I going to get this guy that I gave him money how am I going to get him to G I'm going to send him poor people I'm going to send him good Torah organizations to ask him for money why because that way his work becomes blessed because now if I leave him alone nobody comes to him to give him to ask for money no poor people comes to him to ask for money no organization comes to ask for money this guy's for sure going to G and he's not coming out why he's not going to know enough Torah he's not going to fulfill enough MIT he's not going to be around religious people because all the other rich people most of them are not even Jewish some of them are Jewish but they don't keep and so on and so forth point is this guy is doomed from what from a gift that hasm gave him so what am I going to do oh I'm gonna try to save him how I'm going to send them all types of Torah organizations all types of poor people they're going to ask him for money to give him the opportunity to get himself connected to Torah in another way to get him in Get Him connected to the Torah in such a way that he's going to be the backbone of the Torah he's going to be financing the ISA he's going to be financing the K he's going to be financing all of these CDs and K and Chua and so on he's going to do all that I'm going to use him for that so in essence when the poor person or the Torah organization comes to the rich guy and asks him for money they say thank you for helping us for giving us but in reality the rich person should say even a bigger thank you why cuz the poor guy would have got in anyway Hashem would have sent a different vessel the rich guy may not have had another opportunity though which means that the rich guy was literally saved by the poor one so AKA says hasem makes poor people because he uses them as a tool for the sake of the rich cuz they can handle the test of being poor but at the same token we need him in the world in order to save the rich now the um issue of of respecting somebody that's rich again is only permissible if you understand where the money comes from but sometimes people get a certain amount of wealth for a certain amount of wisdom and they lose themselves there's a famous story of ragel you know lived in a couple hundred years ago in days where they didn't have Facebook and pictures everywhere and so on so sometimes you would go to certain places people didn't even know who he was they know he's this is the biggest Rabbi in the world now one time went for yum Kip went to a different community and no one knew who he was now he wanted to know he wanted to sit next to someone that has but he doesn't know anybody because he wants to have he wants to sit next to one praying to doing next to somebody that maybe is GNA also cry to hem motivate each other you see him crying that makes you cry he sees you cry you he cries more and so on you want somebody that's a good person you don't want somebody that's thinking about his work so on Friday on um the the eve right before starts he's sitting in theet he looks around he sees this older guy praying with everybody else you know and everybody else is okay y didn't hit it just start hasn't started yet but he sees this one guy praying to and when it gets to the part of the it says my soul will be like dust this guy starts B just just just m crying hysterical crying ohem my my soul is dust dust dust it's nothing I'm nothing e says to the gab I want to sit next to him please I want to sit next to him people why say no problem so as you would have it they pray that night the next morning they come back for and uh it gets to the part where they give people little to the they take out the T and they gave alot and the gab comes to this guy that cried yesterday the older man comes to him he goes Aliah for you number five you're the fifth alyah it's great instead of thank you very much the old man stands up and says you should be ashamed of yourself you're giving me fifth Aliah me you zero that you are you're giving me number five instead of the third Aliah instead of the sixth Aliyah you're giving me five do you know who I am do you know how yes I run you know how much to I know you zero that you are you nothing that you are do you even understand what is do you know how much I know and he embarrasses the guy M murders him murders him in public the entire K is like but no one knows what to do the Gabby is quiet as side note if you ever see someone embarrass another person in public and that person doesn't respond go to the person who didn't respond ask him for a blessing because at that moment he's holding up the entire world from talks to Y and Y says where's the where's the on what the world is standing on hasem says it stands on nothing meaning on what's nothing on someone that does not respond when other people mock him make fun of him insult him and so on cuz now you're acting like AEM people mock AEM make fun of hem all day all night but hem doesn't respond right away sometimes they'll let the person live another 20 30 40 years give the person opportunity to do CH that's why says that people are not going to recognize AEM when they get up to Sham why cuz over here all you know is the version of hm that's kindness you say bad things about hem you say stupid things about Hemm gives you more time you don't lose uh any breath nothing you say something dumb some form of some form of insult against the King of Kings Hashem sits there quietly allows you to continue breathing allows you to continue doing good things you yell at AEM sometimes ahm what are you doing like a if he works for you Hashem says nothing he let you go go ahead M my son don't worry it's going to be okay nothing you're living next day you kind of feel bad but not so really not so much you forgot you even said what you said hasem gives you an opportunity says when you arrive at sh you're not going to recognize AEM because over there there's no kindness there's only Dean there's judgment why that's the time you have to pay the bill you did good Hashem will pay you forever pay you forever you did bad it'll also pay you forever just a different currency because over there judgment no more time to do chuva there's no chuva in sh so now back to our story The Old Man embarrasses that gabai despite getting an Aliyah after the whole thing is done walks up to the old man he's sitting next to him he goes but I wanted to ask you something one thing I know what happen listen yesterday when you got up to the section that my soul will be nothing my soul is nothing you are crying hysterical what's the like and now you embarrass this person so the old man says what's the what's the what's what's complicated here when I say to AEM AEM I'm nothing it's only because I'm comparing myself to Hashem in front of Hashem I'm nothing but next to this loser this zero I'm everything he's a nothing this guy says says you just solve a comp application for me that I had on in in chapter 12 it says now the Manu was exceedingly humble more than any person on the face of the Earth so I always asked what does it mean if he says that m who is humble just he's very humble why does AEM add these extra few words you know Hashem is very uh cautious with the words that he used in the T very precise with them he doesn't add an extra word why does hem add that that mosu is not only humble but he's humble more than anyone on this Earth on the face of the Earth so says because what is it saying here you can say a person says no no I'm I'm really humble who's he comparing himself to to Hashem oh no no I'm really humble I'm nothing who is he nothing next to he's comparing himself to RAB AKA yeah of course you're nothing next to RAB AA everybody's nothing next to RAB AKA that's not how that's not humility that's a reality it's like somebody saying no no I'm I'm really weak yeah he's comparing himself next to I know Hulk or something yeah everybody's weak next to the Hulk that's not humility that's a reality butu when himself writes thatu is the humblest person on the face of the planet meaning what whether it's someone that's before him that lived in the past or someone that's going to live in the future or someone that's alive right now he's more humble than anyone out there in what way in a way that no matter what mhu was able to see the spark the light the good that someone else had that he didn't mosu wasn't delusional he knew he was a genius he knew he was holy he knew he was he was rich he wasn't delious he knew that he had a lot of money he knew that he was the leader he knew that he's the only one that talks to face to face but every time you would look at someone he wouldn't compete with those things oh no I'm a you know he's a better Prophet than me it's not possible that he's a better Prophet than youh himself says no one's going to be like mosu he's not comparing that he's comparing something else says oh see his eyes are green he has pretty eyes than me he he's uh he has uh you know he has uh less anger than me he's uh happier than me his teeth are nicer than mine he will look at whatever anyone else even if someone hadat even if had someone had the disease the the spiritual and physical disease that required the person to be thrown out of the camp and if there was a if the disease did not heal itself would happen to the person it would literally pieces of their body would start falling apart all of a sudden the guy's walking finger falls off a few more steps another finger a few more steps the toe is missing a few more like a pieces of his body would just fall off all of a sudden his whole hair turns into a wig maybe he could sell it whole thing comes off but you could only see the brain after that piece by piece his body would fall off that's horren this what's the cure chv no doctor can cure it whenu would look at this person he'd say wow look at him he's about to do chuva he's about to do CH I still have to do Chua he still look at this person as he has better than me why because he is closer to doing Chua because he has this thing now what does the Tora say about somebody does Chua someone that does Chua even cannot get to his level that's an Ana is not thinking of yourself as a loser humility is not thinking yourself as a loser humility is understanding your own deficiencies while at the same time seeing the good qualities in other people what we usually do is we understand everybody else's deficiencies and we're Delirious about our own and we exaggerate our good ones everybody has got a good one but that's all we talk about we talk about all the good things we did we don't talk about the bad stuff but everybody else oh yeah this guy's rash what what rash yeah yeah I heard him I saw him yell at his wife oh you never yelled at your wife no not like that no you never sure neighbors didn't call the cops on you five six seven times because of how you yell when you yell yeah but that was uh what long time ago what six seven eight months ago long time ago yeah but that was like yesterday this guy you making me to what you're against me you're for him no has nothing to do with it stop judging other people stop judging other people look at he has something good about him you have something bad about you that's humility that's humility now says anyone who knows that his friend has a single trait that's better than him must act with honor towards him you have a friend you spend a little time with him you spend a little time with her you know that there's at least one thing that this person has better than you if you don't then your Gava your ego is bigger than this room you should get at a different room at least pay rent for two houses but every person you could see that there's something that's better about them than you every person especially if you spend a lot of time with this person now thear says if you know that this friend of yours has a single trait that's better than you you now have to give this person kavod which means that you pretty much have to give everybody K now we're not talking about some missionary anti Lefty liberal Zionist terrible human being that we can't wait for to remove them from the world not talk about that I'm talking about normal people normal people regular people religious or not is not necessarily as as as as critical in this aspect of it because many people are not religious purely because of ignorance not because they're anti- God so you can't just say oh everybody that's a that's my enemy I hate him I'm going to kill him he's the worst person take it easy you used to be shabat also you used to you may actually still beat because you don't know Shabbat take it easy stop judging everyone for their deficiencies look at your own deficiencies also point being is does he have anything good does she have anything good okay look at that someone sent me a uh messaged the other day some random sheo of some woman says listen I don't think that this woman should be called raban because I had a situation with her and uh she's definitely not a raban now don't get me wrong we're still really good friends and I'm on good terms with her now I just don't think she should be called raban I didn't respond to this because the response wouldn't have actually helped the situation number one what do you think I'm the the the police force of people that call themselves Rabbi ran second of all that's and third of all with friends like you who needs enemies but people love love to find a deficiencies in somebody else and they hate it when that person is being given Respect by other people they hate to see other people winning and that's because they have a very limited mentality a limited mind this is very common in the business world because the vast majority of people in the business world have zero and I literally mean zero amuna as soon as a competitor opens a store or an office anywhere near the vicinity of their world already they start worrying as soon as they see an opportunity to steal from a hand that fed them they take it why they feel like they're entitled to it what I worked for him for 15 years so what if I steal all of his customers I helped them build them in the first place no you helped them get some customers because he paid you for it he bought that service from you he didn't build his business he paid for you to do it he would have paid somebody else to do it also but people feel entitled entitled to uh to their work they want to leave the the company with everything they did and this happens very often or better yet people like to talk bad about their competitors I had one time a uh client of mine call me and uh he says uh listen I just spoke to your teacher I didn't have any teachers at least not in a business world I said yeah what did he say he said no he says he taught you everything and uh all the stock picks that you have came from uh him and all the money that we made is because of him so I said what's my teacher's name just so I know he goes Bernard I said Bernard Bernard I I don't know Bernard he go what do you mean he's a teacher how do you know his name I said cuz I don't really actually have a teacher I just wanted to know who's this person that's what wonderful things he says and said okay who's this Bernard he gives me the last name I said oh that kid he was my was an intern he just got his license six months ago I've been in the business for 15 years how's he my teacher so the guy was shocked he goes what do you mean he's lying to me said yeah welcome to the world goes yeah I was going to he send me documentations to transfer all my accounts I figured if he's your teacher I might as well maybe I'll make more money with him I said yeah he's an intern he just got his license six months ago everything he's learning I already forgot from 16 years ago but people lie why because that's because people are foolish and people take advantage of it now he could have simply said listen I know him but you can still do business with me and most likely you would have actually got the business but no he figured that in order for him to get to business he has to kill the competition is to kill the competition this is a wrog mentality this is a limited World mentality many times people hate to hear the success of someone they know they don't mind hearing about the success of people they don't know if they hear that some baseball player or basketball player or movie star got a contract for 30 40 $50 million they're like wow amazing they can't stop talking about it which as I said many times is talking about other people's money is the lowest form of conversation it simply means that in your head is like a mouse there's no brain you have zero wisdom if you talk about other people's money there's no purpose but people love to do it but if he heard that his childhood's friend or his brother or sister or someone else his classmate got that money all of a sudden Venom comes out of their mouth what you heard Steve got that house $5 million house you see how he got it probably stole it who do he who do he rob it from why why do you assume that he robbed it why do you hate so much this comes from a limited World mentality people feel that if he wins I lose as if there's a limited amount of money in the world a limited amount of reward in the world a limited amount of customers in the world a limited amount of good in the world world that if he took good that made it less available for me Americans are very well known for that especially ignorant ones that think that the immigrants are stealing the jobs people that are anti-immigration oh all of these immigrants are stealing our jobs it's complete nonsense no immigrant is stealing anybody's job same thing with people complain about the in racial Wars oh why do black people get extra this why do white people get extra this it's all complete nonsense complete and utter nonsense first of all immigrants do a bunch of jobs that Americans are simply not willing to do bottom line you're not willing to do it number one because you want better better treatment number two because you want more money second thing is there's an endless amount of jobs available that people don't want to do period even if they if they are good jobs why because it's beneath them it's beneath them a bunch of young guys and young girls ask me for uh work advice number one work advice get a job get a job that's the number one work advice yeah but I want to do this this and this okay until you get the opportunity to do this this and this do anything else that's legal and appropriate for a Jew get a job that's job advice number one from someone that's worked in pretty much everything I had newspaper routes I uh worked in clothing stores and flea markets in the freezing cold with snow on top of me it sold Electronics all types of things get a job if either go to k work and work the the work for hem or get a job that's number one advice people no no no I'll never work for that company no I would never bring myself sold down they want to leave uh they want to get first job making $100,000 a year first make 26,000 make a make 500 bucks a week then we'll talk then you can talk about where are you going where are you going with this no what I'm going to get coffee for people all day you know I got a degree okay take degree put it on the wall go get coffee maybe you can use some of the money that you get from giving people coffee to get your frame for your degree what degree what do you think your degree think your degree is worth anything I had Harvard graduates give me coffee and i' yell at them would didn't put the sugar why because that's what degrees worth nothing you know it's worth a lot work ethics hard work honesty Integrity longevity a bunch of words that people don't even know anymore 10 people are looking it up in a dictionary Google define longevity how do you spell longevity again spell check longevity persistence wow it's synonymous with exist non-existence extinct like the dinosaurs get a job that's advice that's advice for people but even more than that don't think that the world is limited don't think the world is limited world is not limited if he's winning if she's winning that does not mean that it's at your cost now if you see that other people are winning you see that other people are succeeding be happy for them have a good eye we had a whole sh about this maybe even two during the uh series about having a good eye versus having an evil eye now when a person understands where the money is coming from it becomes much much easier much easier to have a good eye because you know that simply this is the decision of a to give this person money now even more so when a person understands the value of humility and seeing the good and bad in yourself and the good and bad in others but focusing on the right things at the right time if you're giving somebody M you're trying to teach them you're not going to tell them give them advice on all the good stuff if they're already an expert in Anger they never get angry they're simply cold as ice you could yell at them in their uh you know daylight in front of everyone like okay you you upset okay I'm sorry that don't give him a about anger it's a waste of time you should compliment them that they have such great mid they don't get angry good for them but give them M on something they're weak but if it's just some uh if they're asking for help they're asking for guidance they're depressed about something they're upset about something then obviously you have to remind them of their good qualities listen yeah I understand you're having a tough time but remember you are this and you are that and give a bunch of compliments don't be in such a hurry to bring people lower than what they already are this requires anava this requires humility and like I said humility is not necessarily just the way that you look at yourself humility is the way that you look at other people now another reason that a person needs to honor the wealthy is because the wealthy can bring much good to the people because when they don't bring good to the people they end up bringing evil on themselves and end up being persecuted in sh or prosecuted in sham for destroying T if a gave you a certain amount of money and instead of building yes you build houses that you're not going to even live in you have 26 houses and not even a single yes the person's going to go up to sh and they're going to rip them to shreds because each one of those houses could have been a Yesa that means you could have had literally trillions and trillions of mitv trillions and trillions of hours and minutes of people honoring but instead what you have you had a piece of land for the cleaning people to clean every so often for you to go there once a year maybe and a person that has a lot of money but does not use it for the sake of Torah it gets prosecuted for it now on the other hand what if a person doesn't have money or doesn't have wisdom you still have to be humble to the extent where you have to honor them anyway why because you always have to remember that each person is judged based on his own abilities you're not judged on things that you don't have the ability to do if you have a lot of money you'll be judged based on how much money you had but if you're broke like the average person that I know then you'll be judged like a broke person if your income is pretty much barely enough to to to to put food into your mouth then guess what Hashem will judge you based on what you put in your mouth not based on youra that you gave because you don't have Anya to give what did you actually eat did you do when you did have money once in a while when when your grandmother gave you an inheritance of $5,000 what' you do with it did you at least use some money for for for to or you just went to Disneyland and paid for a few of your friends like you're the new Rockefeller in the street what' you do when you did have money a few times what did you do with the money did you use it for T oh no same thing is with a foolish person versus a smart person if a person is smart he gets judged based on the wisdom meaning that if he he uses his wisdom just simply to remember the phone book by heart he uses his his his his wisdom to Simply do all types of uh scientific models of outer space because he likes to make videos on YouTube and Facebook and get likes and to make people even more uh more confused than what they already are they don't know anything about Earth but he wants to take them to outer space instead of using his wisdom on learning Torah on teaching others on teaching himself his families Community he used his brain for a bunch of other things he'll get prosecuted for it and other the hand if Hashem didn't make him the sharpest tool in the shed he'll judge him for that okay so what what you had did you do what you were supposed to one time time was sobbing in his room and a couple of walked in for you okay we depressed he goes Shalom depression that doesn't happen to people that that are in the Torah world he said to what's wrong he says because I know in sh they're telling me that I have the power of a thousand men restart of the M movement his T if you just simply learn a little bit about his tal they might as well be the type of people that were and these people might as well be Angels walking among men imagine him he says I know in sh they're judging me and tell me I have the power to do the job of a thousand men and I know it's right I have I have the strength I have the power to do it build this that the other thing I can do it no problem I'm only worried what if they judge me also for the MIT of a thousand men the Torah learning of a thousand men for that I cry when a person is gifted Talent or money wisdom or whatever it is it's a responsibility so when a person sees that another person has a lot of money or they themselves have a lot of money or a lot of wisdom they also have to know there's a certain amount of responsibility that comes with it now steinerman was a Shalom was one of the greatest an in any any generation let alone in his own generation and he had a lot of haters and a lot of lovers too but no one can say that he was a liar he was a to the end one time some people came to him and said for we just got this wealthy guy to donate $3 million three not three million shekels $3 million to the of the to the so if the could please write a letter handwritten letter thanking the guy Steinman says no problem tell me what to write says thank you all types of different descriptions this that okay he's writing's writing writing and the last sentence was and surely a uh uh um whoever takes care of the children of hem then Hashem will surely take care of his children and the letter with that put the pen down he's 90 years old puts the pen down he goes no I'm sorry I cannot write that what why not the guy just donate he just donate $3 million to the yes that's not taking care of hm's children and the Rabbi says no it's not okay for please teach us he says this guy that just wrote a check for $3 million how much money do you estimate that he has this say he's a businessman probably no less than a100 million he says exactly so let's think about it so he wrote a check for $3 million that's 3% of what he has what does any normal human being need $97 million for what is he going to do with it how much could he eat how many cars could he have how many houses can he have he's not even giving M it's not even 10% he's giving he's giving 3% that's not called taking care of hashem's children being worried about them if he was giving 97 to hashem's children and keep 3 million for himself then i' write whatever you want because that is being worried about hashem's children and that is taking care of hashem's children but here he's giving $3 million because he's taking care of himself he's keeping a 97 for himself and for his other kids that he has and all the things that he wants and he's giving $3 million for his uh for himself it's not not he's not taking care of I'm should very few people alive in his generation were able to write such a letter to say such a thing and even less today and we're only talking about a few years ago there are very few people that are that honest when it comes to money and the reason why is because many people forget the 10 remembrances of what sort is your money coming from where is it coming from they think it came from the rich guy not from God they forgot it's God the uh funny story that some of you saw some of you didn't see a few weeks ago the uh landlord of the building in the uh B it that we do a shing I don't know what he was doing apparently he was bored he ran out of money to count so he decided to walk by our Sho and interrupted me in the middle of a Sho and uh told me that uh he wants everyone to uh leave by 11 o00 even though he owns the building not our life he got confused us thought that by owning the building he also owns our life he said yeah because toe cars toe trucks are going to come they're going to tow everybody it's still parked here and I said okay thank you with a smile and I continue my Shi he said you about 11:00 said we continued till 11:45 I think it was paid no mind to it why runs the world now apparently he was still B so he was still hanging around his own building at 11:45 at night and he came by again and uh he yelled at the guy that works there and then I asked him like is everything okay why are you so angry did they end up Towing all the cars did they end up Towing all the cars and he says to me no I stopped him I said he goes what no no tell me Hashem I stopped him I said no no Hashem stopped him Shem stopped him sadly he had a keep on he was not only Jewish he pretended to be religious he actually thought he's the one that stopped the tow truck company from Towing all the cars like he actually believes this in his heart that's how sad life is for him and this is he called himself religious he has a keepon and everything you know size of like a donut kind of looked like a donut it was brown wanted to eat it look delicious 11:00 at night hungry he anyway people unfortunately forget forget who runs the world who runs the world and uh they think that they because they have a few dollars they could do a lot of things that are forbidden now the uh the ran tells us that if I'm rich and he's poor there's a reason for it there's a reason for it but more importantly there's a deeper meaning of what you need to learn from it now the p in a says that if I'm rich and he's poor then I'm considered sinning because I'm giving staka based on whatever makes sense to me and when the poor comes I'm not giving him the honor when in reality when the poor man comes I'm supposed to give him kav the poor guy why because it says that AEM is standing at the right side of the poor His prophets they considered His prophets now many times we uh deal with different people and we get confused in who and what they are because of money and because of certain things that they have because of wisdom so I'm going to give you a couple of stories to give you an understanding of of of what it takes to really be a Jew now sometimes people uh tell me that they leave the D they leave AEM because they're tired of doing such and such and I asked them what is such and such mean and they'll tell me something and 99% of the time that something was not even a was not even a law it was a it was a stringency it was above and beyond the law most people that have a bad impression of Judaism it's only because they took on more than they can handle and this has been a problem in for many years but also in other parts of Judaism so much so that at the time of the B there was a that was known to be extremely stringent especially on Bal CH so anytime these B CH they're trying to do cha they'll come to the rabbi and I made a mistake I uh you know I did this this and that oh okay you got to fast 350 times 350 times to die you have to fast then you have to roll in snow then you have to give yourself skila throw some rocks on yourself torture yourself a little bit and then hopefully has is going to forgive you oh this guy uh brushed his teeth the wrong way oh okay 30 times fast all types of stringencies one time a guy came to him and uh the bmov heard about this and he started watching who's this guy is what is he doing and the guy came to this to this he told him listen Rabbi I can't believe it but I violated shabat by accident sh accidental sin not on purpose what should I do so the tells him the rabbi tells him uh okay well minimum minimum you have to do 72 fasts that's just the beginning 7 100 too fast where did you get why goes that's the gim of Shabbat a 702 that's the beginning though after that you got to walk on snow for a little while until your pretty much your your feet start bleeding and you got a roll in it maybe SK this that then hopefully is gonna forgive you the poor guy didn't know what to do with himself might as well commit suicide he runs to the bov and he cries to the B he says what am I going to do I don't know how I can handle this he says you want to do crying want to do CH says yeah what should I do he says donate one box of candles for Shabbat the guy looks at the B go what that's it just donate you already said I'm sorry you cried to Hashem you didn't mean it just do a little staka give get a box of uh candles give it to one of the people that needs it that's it you're finished what about this he goes I'll take care of that the rabbi what he said to you I'll take care of it so the bmov sent an invitation to this Rabbi to come to visit him on Shabbat so of course he's he heard about the bmov he say sure I'm G to go visit the bmov go spend Shabbat with him he must have heard of me I heard of him so he goes on his horses and the carriage and he starts going to the bto's house on Friday afternoon and he has to go through the forest and the forest if you don't know your way you could simply die over there no one would ever know because the forest is Big some of these forests are huge and he goes into the forest and he knows his way but suddenly he looks around around and everything changed he's been this far as a thousand times but everything changed and he starts getting lost he hasn't nowh he's going and it's starting to get closer and closer closer to shabbat the sun's coming down and he doesn't know what to do and he's running around everywhere suddenly sees the exit as the sun is almost down it's getting to a point where it's twilight it's a Shabbat maybe yes maybe not no it's those few minutes where you're not even sure what it is Ben he goes on his horse and he forces them because he's scared to be in the far by himself because most likely you're not going to survive the night and he goes and he gets to the bm's house but as soon as he gets into the house he starts crying I can't believe it I violated Shabbat what should I do you know I was stuck in the forest so B looks to him he goes well okay you can start with 702 fasts just to start with it 72 fasts and after that we'll do a little bit of tortures view throw some rocks on you roll you in some snow make you walk in snow for a few miles a day go I'm not gonna survive I don't know what to do he goes oh it's hard yeah I would die he goes what about all those B that you tell him to do it every week all these poor people every week you tell him fast 30 times 500 times a thousand times for an accidental sin what about that he says listen I made you get lost pray to and I made you get lost in the forest the bmov literally had such power that people say whoever believes all of the stories about the is crazy but whoever doesn't is a meaning don't think that just because let's say the story didn't happen that he couldn't do it the point being AB is that literally tells him listen I made you I pray to to manipulate nature and get you lost in to get put you in the same situation as all of those poor people that you're torturing why cuz I want you to know what it feels like I want you to know what it feels like what is this like there was one time a king and the King had a son three-year-old son and he wanted a son to be the next king now you can't just be the next king just like that if you have a if you're a smart King you want your son to learn how to be a king you can't have him go to clubs all day play video games and he's going to be a king they assassinate him in a week so he sent he gave him a teacher teach my kid all of the wisdoms teach him the geography and uh and money issues and economic issues and uh all types of things all of the wisdoms that are necessary and this teacher was a wise man and he started teaching them day and night this kid for the next 15 years after 15 years tells the king okay I've taught him all of the wisdoms king is Happy let's have a big celebration they have a huge celebration but right before the kid comes out the teacher says to him son come come with me he goes into a room with him 20 minutes later the kid comes out crying hysterical with pain he has scars like he's got all marks everywhere like he got beat up the king is looking at this and he sees the kids bleeding from his back lifts his shirt he sees his whip marks everywhere the king says to the teacher you you did this to my son because the teacher is holding the whip he's not denying it because you did this to my son today you did this to my son not only I'm going to kill you I'm going to cut you up piece at a time until you die I'm going to give you some what you did to my son I'm going to do a million times worse to you and and and and teacher is smiling so the king is you know's he's a wise King he says why you smiling he says if your highness will let allow me to explain I'll explain says go ahead so you see for the last 15 years I've been teaching your son everything I know all the wisdoms that are necessary to be a great king but there was only one thing I couldn't teach him you see one day he's gonna he has the knowledge now to be a king he knows all the things he needs to to run the country the economic issues the poor people issues the uh rich people issues the food stuff the agriculture the the war all that stuff he has that stuff but there's one thing that he's gonna have to do in the future that I couldn't teach him until now he says what is that he says see one day the court is going to bring the people in front of him to judge he's the king he's the final law and they going to say your highness this guy stole three potatoes and when you steal from somebody they want to press charges uh till the end they say he stole three potatoes we should whip them we propos $500 times 500 whips and the King say yeah he stole guilty you admit you're guilty okay whip him 500 times okay he stole half a potato okay 200 whips he went to the place he's not allowed to okay 400 whips 500 whips and he's just gonna say yes so you see in order for him to be a good King he needs to learn something that the son of a king never learns which is pain he needs to learn what it feels like to have pain to have the whip why because that way when someone exaggerates on the sentence proposal of a criminal and tells him that because he stole one potato or three potatoes he deserves 900 whips before the king is going to agree nonchalantly he's going to remember today he's going to remember how it feels like to be whipped 10 times and he's going to say no way is this guy going to survive 900 whips and no way is it Justified to hit him 900 times just for three potatoes hit him once let him go home it's enough because now he knows the pain now he's ready to be a king sometimes will put you through pain in order to prepare you to be the king some sometimes they'll put somebody else in your life in pain in order to make you their guide and teach them what and how to use it but sometimes we forget that everything that we have in the world is simply a part of a test in order for us to get to our destination and the reason for that is because we forget because money blinds us shalom went to collect for his Yesa only when there was literally nothing left because you would utilize every minute of his time learning and teaching his boys he gave them food he gave them shelter and he gave thema and only when they literally did not have any food to eat did he go out collecting one time he went to one of his regulars a rich guy that would donate whenever he would ask too it it was in the middle of winter it was freezing to the extent of literally if you were there long enough you're simply going to die forget about get sick get a cold simply die he gets to the rich man's house there's snow everywhere he knocks on the door the helper the butler of the rich guy opens the door big beautiful door says yes says can you please tell the that Westman is here wman he says come in come in he goes no no no I'll be here outside Butler goes runs to the the balab the wealthy man in his study he says Uh there's someone here to see you says tell him to come up because go no he insisted on being downstairs outside it's freezing goes yeah yeah he insisted on being there goes who is it goes he said it's Elman he says is downstairs outside get out of the way get out of the way he runs outside he goes come in come in he goes no no I'm here to I we need money for the yes he goes okay okay come in come in we can talk goes no no you don't understand the boys haven't eaten in two days some of them are eating the peels of the potatoes because that's all we have left he goes okay okay just come in we'll finish he goes no no you have to understand some of the boys their shoes have opened up like a whale opens his mouth like a hipopotam opens his mouth their shoes are like that because we don't have money to buy them shoes he goes okay come inside he goes no but you don't understand we don't have money to burn woodc and it's freezing and some of the kids are getting sick he goes how much do you need he says we need an extra amount of money goes I'll give it to you please come in he goes okay now I'll come in after he comes in and the guy's freezing the guy the door is open he's outside also he says you okay go everything okay he says why didn't you just tell me everything here it's fire we didn't have to freeze in a cold he says I needed you to have a few minutes of feeling like my boys feel so you understand understand why you're giving to understand why you're giving a person is Rich that gives him a responsibility if you see such a person if you are such a person you know such a person you have to give them cavod in a sense because you know that if they're taking care of that responsibility they are a vessel that is using if you are using your money to publicize t you deserve C because you are being used as a vessel for to put his to all over the world on the other hand if a person does not use that money for the right reasons instead of buying tah he's buying houses and vacations and stocks unfortunately that person you have to you have to almost like mourn over them because it's sad because they'll be prosecuted for this so this is some of the things that we have to know and one of the connections that you could have for this to the current CH is the following Yu is about to see his brother it says that sent brought with him literally hundreds and hundreds of generals each one of them had their own armies literally was like millions of people to go to war with yob yob sends angels to go give gifts but he prays to and he says to save me from my brother save me from as now this is a verse that I've given you a couple of insights on in the past connecting to missionaries connecting to Wicked people and so on but also connects to the ran sometimes a certain person has good has good but he uses that good for bad he has a blessing but he uses a for bad and this is one of the most dangerous things in the world because when a person uses something good for bad it's very deceiving if a person has a lot of money and he doesn't use it the right way it's very deceiving if a person has a certain amount of wisdom and he doesn't use it the right way it's very deceiving because naturally you would think if he's Rich he's probably generous naturally would think if he's smart he goes to Yesa he's a rabbi he's should be a good guy so yov is crying to please save me from my brother save me from save me from such people that look like my brother but really they're acting like asav sometimes I say certain things in the that people cringe sometimes I tell you that if a person is a missionary even if he wants to do cha you're not allowed to help him if a person violates shabat and does not do chat is Gom is eternity and so on and so forth some of these things make people cringe because it's not politically correct and it sounds like it's extreme well another thing the says in in page 113 is that there are certain types of people that a loves such as a person that doesn't get angry or a person doesn't get drunk or a person that does not insist on his own measures meaning that he doesn't insist you embarrass them he doesn't insist on giving it back to you what you really deserve but also the says there are certain types of people that who hates who hates them one that says one thing with his mouth while meaning something else in his heart he calls you sadik but in reality he thinks you're R he says I love you but in reality he can't wait to kill you he says thank you but he in reality hates you and he doesn't thank you you should thank him someone that pretends to be your friend who hates him another person is a person that knows testimony affecting his friend but does not testify on his behalf you could help your friend in court in a certain issue but you choose not to no no I don't want to get involved like one of those people yeah but she's going to divorce me if you don't say something hey listen that's your problem I'm not getting involved between a man and his wife I'm not getting involved in this business just between you guys I don't want to get involved one of those people hates him why you can save the situation from getting worse who put you in that place for a reason someone who sees his friend involved in a sexual transgression but only testifies against him alone without a second witness because that's not acceptable testimony has to be two so we see here clearly there's a few examples of certain people that hates but then the say are you allowed to hate him okay who hates this person what about you are you allowed to hate him so the says yes you're allowed to hate people but then there's a conflict every day to people tell you wait a minute all of am say you gota love everybody you got to love all Jews gotta love each other what's going on that's what the says the certain times you are permitted to hate a Jew continues and says the following says we're not talking about all these examples don't misunderstand that this is referring to go like a that says one thing in his mouth but means something in his heart a that makes a sex crime a that is a uh uh you could testify no no we're specifically talking about Jews but what kind of Jews are we talking about are we talking about Wicked people so why do it say Wicked people Wicked people we there's no K there's no there's no complication if hasem hates them then I hate them no it's not somebody's an enemy of hem it's to hate them says no no no you not only hate the people that are enemies of hem you're actually allowed to hate people that technically Hashem may not hate them but you're allowed to hate them sometimes why you're allowed to hate someone that more or less is not necessarily bad everywhere but he's bad in one place that's more than enough and that is if he's a faker if he's a fake Jew he pretends to be religious but he steals in his business he pretends to be religious but in reality he looks a little boys she pretends to be religious but in reality she's not so honest with her husband sometimes she has a boy friend but it's only on Facebook she's text messaging she's text mess she fall in love with text message had a religious woman tell me I'm going to leave my husband and four kids over a uh somebody I met on WhatsApp I said I said is he Jewish he says yeah he's religious the boyfriend that she met on what what'sapp you not only we're not talking about talking about people that overall she keep Shabbat he keeps Shabbat give sta sometimes too but you're a faker hates fakers hasem hates people that he gave them a certain amount of gifts in the world but these people have taken those gifts and simply thrown them in the garbage and disrespected them there are many rabbis in the world unfortunately that are given a crowd they're given a talent they're given a certain amount of money a and they're misusing it and sometimes we speak against them we mention them by names and sometimes people cringe they think it's wrong no but a lot of people disagree with you but a lot of this but a lot of that look at the look at the we're not doing anything that contradicts the Torah to be religious is not a once- in a while thing it's not a uh a certain color or a certain uh a uh asset it's it's you someone made a video recently calling it I want to tell you who I am nice kid 23 24 year old religious kid for two and a half minutes he talks about what he's married he moved from one country to another then in that country he moved to another city and then he got a certain job and then he changed the job and he has a couple of he has a kid and one on the way the kid as cute as can be nice kid young kid and people liked what he made one mistake about the video that's not you that's what you have the kid is what you have the wife is what you have where you live and where you live is what you have you you are Jewish or you're a faker one or the other if your Torah is your priority in life and you live your life in accordance to this rule book from you're a Jew and that's as great as can possibly be if you're a no hide and you live by this rule book you're a no hide that's as good as can be for you no problem but if you violate it you have a problem but even a bigger problem even a bigger problem if you make pretend like you're keeping it because if you're violating it you're violating it because you're clueless you were born into a non-religious family you went you lived in a non religious community you have no idea the significance of Shabbat you have no idea the significance of promiscuity you have no idea the significance of honesty and integrity in business you have no idea about this stuff and you're just learning it now at 20 30 40 50 60 years old no problem I love you I'll help you let's do chat together that's what the ram says but if you already know and you lie and you say to your students that there's no punishment regardless of what crime you have don't worry the rabbi is the is the mashiach don't worry Hashem is kind and you simply manipulate the Torah you yourself make all types of crimes against theem like this rash from Russia that was one of the top rabbis over there just got caught with a by private investigators cheating on his wife with a woman he's converting she's not Jewish but you look at him looks like a tadik looks like he's from Mount saai one of my friends tells me that he heard his he was that he gave a he told the enti which most of Shabbat you only have one mitvah in the world what's the Mitzvah donate money to the donate money that's it that's your only Mitzvah no no no no nothing that person not only only does who hate him all of us are obligated to hate him because he's a faker he's a faker person like that is more dangerous than a non-religious Jew now if you have money you can help the fakers or the ones that are fighting against them and that's what Yakov is saying over here Hashem help me help me against the fakers because they look like they're my brothers they're wearing black and white they have a they look great they're rabbis sometimes they're gab they're running shoes they're running and so on help me from them why because in reality even though they look like my brother they're on as's team they're on as's team they are Malik and I'm not giving you anyim wrote in comes most of the rabbis in the world are going to be doesn't mean you start pointing at any Rabbi say because we already learned how much you have to give to the Tora you have to have a reason can't just decide oh he's amalik how do what's how do you find the reason what do they teach if they teach things that are according to the Torah whether it's from the of the of whatever it is but they teach according to the Tor 13 principles of faith and so on no problem doesn't matter who what when and how whether you have a hat you don't have a hat as long as they teach that but if they teach things that do contradict everything else but they want to attach some rabbi's name on it because that Rabbi is not alive to defend himself you not only are forbidden from listening to them or supporting them but if you do you will get judged just like them this is a very special message for every single person that donates to these organizations that teach she because if you donate $100 to them that $100 is going to kill Jews you donate $1,000 to them you're going to kill Jews with that money somebody told me yeah listen I'm GNA open another Center for this organization I said why they believe some guy that died is the Messiah like Christianity he's said no it's a special story special story special story special story a lot of special stories billion dollars you still can't do anything with it aside from building themselves more buildings and more houses it's time people woke up it's time people understood there is a difference between real Torah and fake Torah Everyone likes to kiss up to rich people because they forgot where the money is coming from it's important to know where the money came from but it's also important to give honor to people that deserve honor but never never ever forget the Torah is something that comes before everybody as long as you understand that and you realize that if this person or this organization is something that produces fake Torah that contradicts the sages contradicts you supporting them even if you don't send the money by simply watching their videos you're part of the crime you send the money you're simply the criminal yourself you're the my boss they're just the snipers you send them your M you send them your last minute donation before the end of the year you are a criminal 100% I have to say this because this is what it says in the tah if I don't say people continue sending money to these organizations and what happens more Jewish people drive on Shabbat more Jewish people think that some Rabbi that died is the mashia more Jewish people continue to live life carelessly about fixing their own character traits so although we are obligated to Hon don't think that someone that has a beard and a hat automatically is a the Hat you can buy in a store and the beard Grows by itself is determined based not only on the knowledge but also based on the behavior but before you before you do any of that analyze yourself analyze yourself see the good in others but if you see someone outright as aav outright they're teaching things that are against the Torah verify that it's against the Torah double check ask them if they made a mistake but if they didn't you have to expose them with all your strength this is a tough part for everyone to fulfill but nonetheless it's a very necessary part because the war is getting more and more serious I see many many people doing but I also see a lot of people get weaker they get comfortable and they start supporting and helping organizations that are simply fakers and it's very very damaging to the rest of the people trying to do CH because it's confusing it's confusing how these fakers continue to build bigger buildings and more and more Jews support them but yet the ones that actually help Jews do CH are barely surviving it doesn't make any sense it's time that everybody takes the initiative share the learn them like they're supposed to judge ourselves work on ourselves but also be honest be honest with yourself and because eventually we will all be judged for it all of us and all of will do and get a favorable judgment thank you for learning with me amen amen [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music]
