Are you being led by an Erev Rav Rabbi?

[Music] one of the most horrific troubling stories I've ever heard I heard just about a week ago as a matter of fact a week ago today someone that says that sent me a letter saying thank you thank you for all the different things that she believes that I've helped to be honest with you I didn't know I helped her someone sends me questions I answer them but to me someone ask me questions about Al about different things I'm thinking they they already know they're just trying to improve or they're trying to verify or maybe I made a mistake I don't know I don't start judging people who he is who who she is so she asked me questions for already over a year seems like she knew what she was talking about I thought she was 100% religious her whole life I thought she was FR from birth I didn't think she was anything to do with B I just thought that she liked my shim and RAB M maybe she heard about me through him that's it didn't think much of it questions comes in I answer and then she tells me a story and she says you know in a letter she wrote me last week you know I wasn't always religious that was already a shock for me personally it doesn't necessarily shock you but for me it was a shock you think you know something about somebody for over a year already somebody tells you I wasn't always religious not that it mattered it was surprise to me because I only started doing chuva five years ago started doing five five years ago I started doing chuva I watched some of RAB mra's uh videos and all of a sudden I realized that I have to start becoming more modest and I started becoming more modest and I started observing the I started keeping kosher started doing everything I even covered my hair with a I even covered my hair with a scarf now for anyone that's done chuva they know that for a woman that's the top modesty most difficult Mitzvah out of all Shabbat piece of cake sending kids to Yesa no big deal kosher so what most difficult mitvah for a woman in our generation modesty real modesty I'm talking about I'm not talking about half modesty like people that wear K but they wear a mini skirt or the mini or the long skirt but they no K you know people do 50/50 sometimes no I'm talking about full modesty most difficult even half modesty is hard you tell a woman is you've been wearing pants your whole life but you're not allowed to wear pants in Judaism it's not modest first of all it's considered men's clothing which you're not allowed to wear and second of all it's completely not mod simply because it CHS the your figure so you tell this to a woman it's very very hard to adjust but eventually they do if they're serious some adjust really quickly some take time but nonetheless when a woman covers her hair with a that you could look that's that's it that's the top at least I thought until last week last week I get a meal and she tells me me I started doing chuva 5 years ago I took on kosher inside and outside the house because I realized that God is inside and outside the house not just inside koser all the time modesty covered my hair everything but about a year ago I watched one of your lectures and I realized that I'm a walking why because every Shabbat that I go to sh and go to the rabbi's house who invites me it's not a good look that I'm driving on Shabbat with my to me the thought of a woman a Jewish woman driving on Shabbat with K ran it took me at least 36 hours to adjust do to just think about something like this I don't know how to respond you don't even know who's religious anymore sometimes you don't even know who's Jewish sometimes you have a guy coming to sh five years he's not even Jewish I have a few people like that they tell me yeah I've been going to this kabad for five years I'm like yeah but you're not even Jewish yeah but nobody says anything you don't even know who's Jewish you don't know who's keeping you anything you have to be like a private detective now so the the shocking part of the story was not just the fact that this woman was driving for four years until a year ago she realized that she can't and she stopped driving on Shabbat but the most terrible part was the fact that the rabbi was enabling her the rabbi was the one that was encouraging her to drive on Shabbat to come to sh to come to his house knowing she's driving knowing she's driving on Shabbat he's inviting her to his house every week to the sh encouraging her to continue now if anyone would say that some of these people have the argument that they're trying to bring people closer and eventually they do chuva how can you explain such a thing how can you explain if you already see a woman making the biggest sacrifice according to pretty much all standards of covering herself had the toe why wouldn't you take the initiative of telling her at some point during those four years hey you know what since you're already being modest you're already keeping kosher you're already keeping pretty much everything you think maybe you should s not drive on Shabbat just a thought just a thought it's not allowed by the way it's not allowed just a thought maybe I don't know throw out there if you don't want no big deal just don't take it offensively just a thought one time one time say it one time this is why I tell you guys that is unfortunately an enormous amount of there's an enormous amount of fake religious people fake rabbis that are that the only thing they care about is your money that's it nothing else in fact many of them in my opinion don't even believe in God how can you believe in God and invite somebody to your house as a rabbi on a regular basis for four years knowing that they're driving when you know 100% it's against all any standards of well how do you justify that how do you explain that one the woman's wearing K she's driving to your house on shab so unfortunately this is the world we live in [Music]
