[Music] so theat of this mishna is be nice to people that's theat that's the basic meaning every time ma is saying initiate hello you see a person say hello be the one that says hello don't wait for people say hello to you know you ever meet those people hey you see you see Steve yeah yeah I saw him do you say hi no no no I say why don't you say hi I don't know let them say hi to me you ever me one of those people you ever see those people they're waiting for everybody else to say hello to them like they're uh Mr President get up why didn't you say hello to him why you didn't say hello to me so you didn't learn we learned from says they asked not how did you earn the to live so many years how' you learn what's the that you have to there's many there's many people learn Tor there's many people do what did you do what your secret tell us the secret he says there's never been a person that said hi to me before I said hi to them even even non-jews I said hi to them it's a famous story about retki Shalom one of the uh the ISA that he had there was at one point there used to be like a church next to it a Covent Covent a um Convent nuns in there and stuff like that and uh one day one of the uh nuns comes to one of the other rabbis and uh she asked the rabbi why is it that every time somebody from your Yesa School whatever they called it why is it that every time somebody comes out and they see me or any of the other nuns they run away or they look away they don't even say hi except that that old Rabbi that old man how come he's the only one that says hello how come all of you run away from us how come he's the only one that shows us a kind face how come apparently it's because he's the only one that learned this Mish told us already you want a long life say hello to everyone be nice to everyone show a kind face to everyone don't look like just because in your life doesn't mean it's everybody else's fault just because you're angry and your wife is angry and your kids are angry and everyone's angry does not mean you have to make everyone else suffer because they have to look in your sad face all day put a smile on it's just the opposite of your frown it's upside down put a smile on say hello don't wait for other people to say hello don't wait for other people to say hello don't think you're Mr President don't don't think you're why because the realash what are they saying saying say hello say hello what's the big deal say hello first first say hello to the nice person to the ugly person to whoever say hello kind face I'm not saying go become a uh Playboy start saying hello to every single girl that moves I'm saying kind face let's not twist the tor because I know today you have to M be very careful with words you say so that's the theot is say hello that's theat but the reality is that R MAA is not here to tell us to say say hello why you see from the rest of what he says he says be the one that's Shalom be the one that's first to have shalom shalom means hello but also be the tail for Lions and the head of foxes tail for Lions meaning connect to to that are higher than you it's better to be at their tail behind all of them trying to just catch up because they're all smarter than you they're all more righteous than you it's better to be at their tail than to be the head of a bunch of of a bunch of people don't know anything it's better than to be the tale of the and to be the head of the criminals the head of the ignorants criminal doesn't mean kill people criminals could be criminals against theem so how could saying hello be connected to that obviously there's a deeper meaning here deeper meaning is the Torah tells us that a has multiple names 72 names if you misuse any of them you have a serious serious problem and for all of those ignorants that like to pronounce the name of that we have in a Torah that's UD V and he and they want to pronounce it the way it sounds especially Christians and uh Messianic Jews they call themselves you should know the Torah specifically says anyone that pronounces that name literally has no beginning middle end keep shabat keep whatever anyone that pronounces that name and the way it actually sounds which I'm sure all of you have seen on the internet starts with a y anyone that pronounces that name name no they could be kind precious whatever no so this print plenty of ignorance on the internet type it all over their page they make banners and posters of this so one of the many names that AEM has is shalom shalom is actually a name of AEM so is actually telling you something completely different he's not just telling you be the first one to say hello he say be a Shalom be a one that brings Shalom to the relationships be the one that brings God into the relationship be the one that brings God to people go do K go help people do chuv go help people learn Torah go help people do something that's meaningful in their life that's connected to because without it it's all worthless all the billions the Saudi Arabian princes have is worth nothing right now sitting in jail waiting for their execution mark my words not one of them is going to survive I don't know who they are what they did or anything like that it's just a reality that's hasem giving us a reality is getting a reality all of us that are chasing money every single day day and night trying to be one of them who doesn't want 50 billion raise your hand if you don't want $50 billion raise your hand if you don't want $50 billion raise no two hands three hands Four Hands five hands who doesn't want $50 billion huh nobody right everybody wants $50 billion well $50 billion right now sitting in jail about to get executed Hashem is teaching you m he's telling you $50 billion can't save you from Yad can't save you from Yad can't save you from Yad when the time comes it comes what's GNA save you Shalom is saying you have to bring him to people and the reality is people are scared to do it people are scared to bring God into their life and I don't mean into their own personal life plenty of people are doing chuva plenty of people are FR from birth plenty plenty of people are religious from birth plenty of people have done CH there's many many more than need to do it but very very few very if you have enough love for enough to bring hasem into their real life meaning to bring it to the world around them and the reason why is because to be a shalom means you have to bring hem everywhere including all the places that don't want him [Music]
