Can One Be Ethical Without Torah? - Jewish HaShkafa (34)

for we are back on our Sunday night sh continuing our series with a Jewish ashfa the uh ideology of what a Jews must have and really what a non-jew a noahide should have uh tonight's uh sh uh is going to be for but Su ran Leana s ran s Leana R benit bana M Talia abah Stefan Ben Karina and also for for sha Ben faran Ben abam osri benis Gabby Ben Doris elad Ben David benri Mara Julie her dear daughter Isa B Mara and Sons Samuel Ben Mara and Alexander Ben Marsha and all of will have and all of our supporters whether Jews or nonews that love hasem want to do the will of hem and simply are doing the best that he possibly can and of course the one who knows what's hidden uh knows exactly if we're trying our best or if we're uh just saying we're trying our best so uh as a brief update uh regards to the movie I know a lot of people are asking about the movie we released another preview uh of the movie another trailer of the movie a three minute trailer uh which uh even among ourselves the team uh you know when we see the trailer we say wow it gets us excited to watch the whole movie even though we're actually making the movie uh so yeah the trailer is very good uh there's going to be uh one more trailer and then we're going to release the movie so uh with with everything uh uh that uh we're planning and of course everything is in his hands uh we expect the movie uh you know pray for the movie to be released along with several other new additions new things that that we're working on alongside it uh within the next month so we're now down from two months to one month uh we're trying to uh do a few things alongside it to make sure that it's not going to be just a uh on hit wonder but rather something of a tool uh that each and every one of us can use on a regular basis to get for this specific issue uh to get constant uh uh um support on this issues so B we're working on a few things uh one is a uh major upgrade to uh the app uh another is also a a website uh and a few other things so uh for all of you that are uh being supportive uh not just with words but also with actions whether you're donating your time or your money uh to help us get this uh uh movie out there to as many people as possible you should already know that uh you're you're buying yourself Ana now again as I always tell people they ask me oh what should I do uh you know can I should I donate my uh you know my $100 $500 uh should I donate my Mel to it what should I do the answer is very simple every single person needs to do the best they can and understand that they have to follow what the sages say because if we don't follow what the sage is saying we just listen to our own intuition many times that doesn't work and that's actually part of what uh the Kish is really discussing tonight is that many times you have uh people believe that their intuition is going to lead them to the right place uh but unfortunately if that intuition does not sink with Al with the Torah itself many times that intuition will steer you wrong so our our sages have told us that when it comes to T when it comes to this horrific situation that uh is really there's no house that has no dead body when it comes to this sin every house has an issue when it comes to this even in the days of the rambam he wrote in that you're never going to find a community that has such a thing that there no one has a problem with this uh with this issue uh hence the reason why it's mentioned in the Torah time and time again from the beginning of the Tor all the way to the end uh so t is one of the things that a person needs to take on themselves whether they're male or female they need to understand that this is part of their overall purpose and that talk about doing a tun aside from obviously the the obvious which is stopping the sin you know uh making sure that you're not putting yourself at risk by going to SP certain places or spending time with certain people you know if you uh sinned with a certain guy or you sinned with a certain girl you know you can't go back dating them you know you have to understand that you either get married or you have to Simply never see each other again Judaism does not believe in platonic relationships because those platonic relationships end up becoming Atomic relationships and pretty much destroy both your and hisa your and Hera and that's one of the things that people seem to forget where they always think that they could do it different or they could figure it out and I can do this and I can do that only to realize that you've destroyed your world and whatever blessing you could have had in this potential marriage or this potential you know relationship of how it's supposed to be simply went out the door along with um youra until you do CH so a person needs to understand that when it comes to T this is not a sin that's just for you it's for all of us all of us have violated this in one way or another either a person is promiscuous with themselves or with somebody else uh even if it's uh certain thoughts that they have certain movies they've watched and so on and so forth so this movie is not just for those people that are already far gone and addicted to this particular issue but rather even your everyday person your everyday a your your average Rabbi your everyday person needs to constantly get constantly get on this particular issue and this movie uh is going to help any single person that watches this movie because it's not just that we're bringing you you know my voice as usual telling you what I you know what we've been telling you for the last several years but rather you have literally over a 100 Torah sources that are quoted on the screen throughout the movie and we made a special effort to do it at the end of the movie for anyone that wants to uh you know write a book or something or just do a do their homework and and just uh look at every Source you have over a hundred sources mentioned you have the psychological aspect of it the uh the uh social aspect of it and a lot of other things in this particular movie uh I personally think it's the best movie I've ever seen uh period not uh you know regardless of what you compare it to just because it's so informative it's so strong but it's not uh what some people think it's it's scary like a like a like a horror film sure there are definitely some parts that are relatively scary just basically the words that are scary and even some of the things that are meant shown on the screen are scary but the scary part is one of the amazing team members said to me just uh uh last night he said you know in uh in in my past I used to watch horror movies and I uh I I never really liked them but I watched them you know some people do that to themselves and they said I never you know I never liked them but I watched them but I'd say to myself it's not real it's just a movie movie it's not real it's just a movie and that's it those bad thoughts and bad dreams would just go away he says the problem here in this movie is that I can't say that anymore you can't say it's not real it's just a movie it's not real it's just a movie it's real it's it and it's through a movie it's seemly the movie is a in essence a representation of reality uh and then quite frankly reality is much scarier so this particular movie is supposed to give each and every single person that watches it the strength and the wisdom to overcome this issue and anyone that listens to it will will will benefit anyone that supports supports it will benefit even greater as says to us greater is the person that helps another person do something good than the person that's actually doing the thing that's good why because the person that's doing something good you're doing what you're supposed to but the person that's enabling another person to do something good not only you doing something above and beyond what you're supposed to but on top of it that other person might have not done that good deed had it not been for you so in essence there's a greater reward for those that support such a film such an Endeavor such auk to the nation than literally even the people that are doing CH for it but needless to say everyone that's going to be a part part of it will benefit in a great way and the one thing that our sages have said regularly throughout all of the books that I've read about it whether it's the recent or the latter the earlier books about it constantly the sages that discuss the the the and the T they're constantly mentioning that when it comes to tunit if you're going to replace the fast the 84 fasts that you're supposed to do instead you know replacing one sin of wasting seed by yourself or 166 fast of being with Aid because it's both a or or a Goya because it's both a um uh uh wasting seed and it's with a uh with a woman that you're forbidden to so it's 166 fast if you're going to replace that with money know for sure that it's not just the money it has to hurt it has to hurt why does it have to hurt because fasting hurts so anytime you're asking yourself oh what should I give how should I give should I give it all just know this is the advice of the sages now some people think oh yeah it's all about money here listen don't give if that's what you think please don't give we don't want that kind of money we don't want people to think it's just about money because this is a favor to you this is a service to you we're not using that money to build houses you know we're using it to market the movie and to do more good for am but you don't want to donate you think it's about money please please please please I beg you we cannot handle any type of money like that money that's tainted like that we can't handle it we don't want it you know and many times we've had Ser certain people tell me that uh they want to give that kind of money where they're having second guesses I tell them please don't give don't give this is not the type of organization that we have why do I mention this regularly because again as someone else told me today you have to tell people this because it's an opportunity for them and if you don't remind them they're simply going to forget the is going to go in there and tell them to do something else tell them to go spend that few thousand on a watch tell them to go spend that money on something else and they're going to Simply forget so you're doing them a service so this is the public service announcement again you want to give if you want to know how much to give an amount that hurts you that's the amount an amount that hurts you if you have X amount of money you know that if you give a few hundred it's not really going to bother you that much not going to bother you that much you're going to forget about it by uh 5 minutes later or by tomorrow but if you give a certain amount of money that's going to hurt you meaning you going to remember it the whole week we not that it's going to make you broke and poor you can't pay rent but it's going to hurt you because you know that this portion of money is missing that's the the amount you're supposed to give this is according to the sages with that being said one of the main subjects that the Kish has been delving into very deep in the third chapter in the third chapter of this Monumental book is the psychological aspect of of a human being and how much can we rely on ourselves how much can we really rely on ourselves you see last week in the last couple of weeks the Kish has been telling us that there are certain people that you know they want to learn M or perhaps they learn M they learn ethics throughout their life either from books or just from their parents or their friends or their teachers or whatever it is but they practice that ethic iCal Behavior which again could be extremely n extremely good they're generous they're they're they're they're kind and so on and so forth they have good traits but those ethical aspects those ethical attributes if you will are only based on their understanding they're only based on their likings it's only based on simply their psyche it's not based on Al and he says these people people that have morals without meaning their morals are not coming from the Torah they're not practicing this moral Behavior because they learned it from the Torah but rather they learned it from the streets they learned it from certain books even if they learned it from musar books but they don't really know when to apply these morals they're bound to be destructive they're bound to perform evil why because they will not know when is good to be merciful when it's not good to be merciful when it's good to be kind when it's forbidden for being kind and so on and so forth for example if somebody told you please there's a there's a poor man over there one you have a few dollars maybe you could help him you say of course I'm going to go help that guy that's very kind of you but what if right before you gave him that big $20 bill or maybe you wanted to be extra generous today you wanted to give him whatever is in your pocket you want to give him whatever is in your pocket you just give him I know somebody like that whatever was in his pocket he gave it to some people that's a very generous person but right before you did that somebody came and whispered in your ear by the way that's Hitler what what do you mean it's Hitler you mean the guy that's going to kill six million people yeah yeah yeah it's him it's him it's him see that must it's him I thought he's no no no it's him it's him see it's him it's him you still going to give it to him well yeah well listen he's homeless right now okay go ahead give it to him he's going to kill 6 million people with that money so is that kindness no that's stupidity meaning you can't just be kind whenever you feel like it you have to think about it sometimes same concept when it comes to Mercy you can't just be Mercy we see one of the greatest human beings that ever lived Sha Sha King Saul was the F first king of chosen by himself he was instructed instructed by hem to go fight the amalekites go kill them destroy every single every single thing that they have and he comes back and the navi rebukes him says to him what' you do you you have a uh you didn't kill all of them you have women children you have this one guy is the leader of them over here's he's alive sh says look at this guy this leader AAG look at this guy he's uh 60 lbs soaking wet what could he possibly do this guy this this AAG this this the leader I felt so bad for him he's such a scrawny little rat what going to do say put him in a cage the prophet rebukes him and tells him you did not listen to the word of Hashem and because of that Hashem took away his kinghood and Prophet came and killed ha took a sword and killed him on the spot now unfortunately sh was a sadik such a sadik that the says had the roles been changed mean reversed meaning had King David been the first king and sha later on and and and King David wanted to kill sha hasem would have let Shaul kill David that's how righteous sha was but even as righteous as he was he made a mistake he made a mistake as a says to the prophet yes Isaiah and Shalom says no mercy no peace to the wicked people no peace forbidden and sha had mercy on the leader of the amalekites because he was a scrawny little nothing now you say wait but anyway the prophet killed the guy so what's the problem the problem is that it was just a few moments too late it was just a few moments too late by the time the prophet arrived and killed him this hagag this rash already was intimate with one of the made servants in the uh in the jail over there and from there came their descendant ham ham who we going to learn more about on coming soon that almost destroyed all of so we see from here is that if a person is morally amazing he's kind he's generous he's merciful he's this he's that he's got the best ethics in the world but it's not because he's following he's not following the it's bound to be destructive now this is not only as we can see from this one example this is not just from your average person or your average uh Gentile or non-religious Jew even the great among us even the great Among Us have failed at times uh because they did not follow the Ala now we see in this week's the is showing exceptional character traits by when he sees when he sees Moshe he's humble he he he's pleading with them to please let them in you know I'm your father-in-law and this is your wife and these are your sons he's exceptional character traits as soon as he heard about Hashem and what Hashem did he gives up all of his idolatry comes to mount saai to meet up with am is unbelievable things but you see after this it says in the uh that the father-in-law of Moshe saw everything that he was doing with the people Moshe was judging the people so he thought was just sitting there watching what Moshe was doing all day meaning not right away he didn't say anything right he just watched it all day and he said what is this thing that you're doing to the people why do you do it alone with all of the people standing from you meaning that MOS and it was judging all of the people there was a line from here until halulu really long line millions of people are waiting to get the dean the Judgment from M they want to know what the is yes no allowed not allowed is he right is he right is she right is he right all types of things and everyone's standing online and comes and he's waiting and he's watching all of this and he says M what are you doing you're you're you're being destructive to yourself and to the people you're never going to be able to do by yourself and he gives him the suggestion of building a court system which by the way as I always say anything that's of any value anything that's any good must have a source in the Torah and he says to mosu that you have to have a court system certain court system that handles big cases smaller cases little cases in Ence the Supreme Court System the civil court system and and so on and so forth all the court system that we have today are based on this week's he tells them you have to have a court system now who should lead this court system who are the judges of this court system these people should be men of accomplishment meaning people that know a lot of Torah God-fearing people men of truth and people who despise money those you shall appoint over the people as Leaders so he gives them a few traits that these judges should have they should know Tor they should have because if you don't if you know T without we've already learned many times that t is worthless without there's no preservative that t is simply an intellectual Endeavor that will lead to disaster so it has to have be someone that knows T they have to have they have to be men of Truth stand for the truth and they have to despise money and it says that heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did everything that he has said fantastic comes Froman and hasem gives him the thought now that you've done CH you've given yourself now that you've accepted the entire Tor I'm going to give you an extra gift you're going to give an idea to Moshe one of the smartest people that ever lived they're actually the smartest person that ever lived much smarter than anyone that ever existed even smarter than there was really simply nothing that you compare mosu to and the point being is that you have coming to him with an idea and hasm says that idea is going to work you tell that to mhe and that's your gift that's how you're going to be stamped into eternity all of your sacrifices that you made you left idolatry you came and join the people you gave yourself a you're you're going to get stamped in eternity in my Torah fantastic right so far so good but then we see the next verse after we see that Moshe listened to everything that he said it says in verse 25 again chapter 18 Moshe chose men of accomplishment from all of Israel and appointed them as heads of people chose leaders that were accomplished meaning that were hold on a second said that he ALS they also needed to be people that hated money they also had to have they also have to be people of Truth what happened to that say he couldn't find anyone that had all of those attributes the best he can get were people that knew a lot of Torah now you could say oh well listen they knew a lot of Torah they knew what hasem wanted surely that's going to lead them to surely they're going to stand up for the truth not that they seeing hem The Ten Commandments all the wonderful things that happen in Mount sa surely I mean this Ten Commandments is in the same par surely they're going to see all the wonderful things they're going to have on top of that they're going to defend it they're going to be men of Truth and who cares about money anyway right that's the problem that's the problem because although these people hundreds of them in fact 250 of them they learned the truth they saw the truth as it says in this week's par where says to them the entire nation sees the voice sees the sound sees it what does it mean see how do you see sound how do you see sound gave a literal a visual illust illustration of what the sound was in one of our sh Torah and science we showed how there is a way to see to see how the Hebrew alphabet looks like to see how it sounds like I mean when you say it when you say it use specific machines and you'll see how the voice of saying the letter will actually the uh draw the letter itself unbelievable only the Hebrew language anyone that wants to know this or see this you can watch Torah science and the uh uh movies that we have on our Channel anyway here we see that am saw the Thunder and the flames and saw the sounds of the Shar they saw the sounds of the shaar and they trembled so these people these rabbis these 250 rabbis that were pick to be the DI the judges of this court system thatu is putting together the first of course they're going to have everybody said listen Moshe you go talk to hasem we're going to do whatever he says so surely they surely they're going to defend this truth what else you going to defend If you defend this and they already knew some stuff now they know even more what's the problem the problem comes the the comes later on says to us how did how how did K convince all of the people to follow him not regular people how did he convince all of these big rabbis to follow him 250 of the biggest rabbis in the world followed kak to go and triy to remove Moshe andon from the place how says because kak befriended them by giving them money and a lot of money hey you want to come to my son's Bar Mitzvah how about this don't even say yes or no here's a nice envelope for you then you tell me and he started giving them what we call HEB you know little piles of cash here you go Rabbi yeah here you go Rabbi here you go Rabbi here you go here you go before you know it each one of these rabbis became rich now it's not a problem to help a rabbi be rich it's actually even a that says you have to do with the you have to support them and so on and so forth but the problem is is the rabbi Worthy is the rabbi worthy to actually be such a person here in this case we see that the rabbis failed why they fail because that money thear says started blinding their Vision blinding their perspective blinding their and when K said to them I'm going to go against mosenu they started evaluating wait a minute going against mosenu surely they're going to need a big Rabbi to fill the role I mean kak he's he's good he's a sadik and everything but he needs somebody that's a rabbi that's a known Rabbi maybe he's going to put me and if he's already giving me a million dollars a year just for being his friend surely he's going to give me a bigger salary if I if I if I become on his team and every one of those 250 rabbis thought he's the one that's going to get M renu's job or at the very least aon's job forgetting about the fact that they're about to remove and kill the it wasn't like a friendly debate oh listen you want okay so you take the position no there was no no democracy whoever won that means that the second person died and here they forgot the money blinded them the money blinded them and all of their Torah was literally put on hold as a result of their moral lackings and better yet their moral their morals went on hold because they forgot their Torah at the right at the uh wrong time if you will so now comes the Kish and tells us how does such a thing happen how does such a thing happen in the third chapter fourth section he continues saying a person's evil inclination is especially active when the sin is hidden and unclear for the force in man's heart that condemns destructive Behavior the force that aids a person in his battle against the body's desires and wishes this force is dormant and it lacks the power to condemn the evil results of a crooked judgement here it's a mouthful K tells us first and foremost you should know the evil inclination is in every single one of us now the worst type of evil inclination the worst type is the evil inclination that's on a sin that's hidden unclear what does it mean a sin it's hidden unclear everyone knows Jew or Gentile religious or not that murder is a sin murder is not good everyone knows that that's not a sin that's hidden everyone agrees everyone knows that stealing is not allowed everyone knows even the thief knows it's not allowed he may rationalize it that he's stealing from the rich in order to feed the poor even though the poor ends up being him and even if he says listen I'm stealing from the rich even if I'm already rich because listen the rich already have enough I don't and so on and so forth they rationalize everything but the point is no one is denying that violating the sins of of let's say stealing or murder and the likes is a uh is is a good thing for society or or or for yourself no one is denying that that's not a sin that's hidden what's a sin that's hidden a sin that's hidden is a moral sin a sin that's hidden is a sin where you could easily Rush iiz your way out of it now a person's evil inclination is especially active when it comes to those sins now the says okay you have an evil inclination great but how come he chose to murder and he chose to commit adultery how come why does one guy choose this and another guy choose that and there comes a very very interesting part I know a lot of people ask about this stuff very interesting part for anyone that learns you already know this all the way in the end has a very interesting section and then we're going to add a little seasoning from the listen to this page 156 a says the following is written ru's was something out of this world we've talked about he is always the one that's dealing with things from like different worlds unbelievable now he was born on a Sunday was born on a Sunday okay oh no I'm saying he says he who is born a person who born on a Sunday will be a man of one nature without one trace of any other nature in him what does this actually mean what does it mean to be without nature all this stuff what does it all mean a person that's born on a Sunday is not going to don't say he's going to be a person that's going to be only only good and he's not going to be only bad surely it's going to be good and bad as Rashi says listen both me and Dei bakuza were both born on a Sunday I became the head Rabbi of theiva over here and he became the leader of the gangs of the the mafia so obviously doesn't mean that he's going to be no so what does it mean person that's born a Sunday is going to have a certain nature that is going to be make him a good leader he's going to be a leader okay that's Sunday why why is this Sunday have an effect on people says because Sunday was the the first day of creation where light and darkness were created extremes extremes either he's going to be a leader for good or a leader for bad based on the extreme of the creation in the beginning there was light and darkness the extremes then thear goes we're skipping around a little bit but thear goes into Celestial signs a lot of people like to read all of this fortunetelling nonsense that's in the horoscopes and the newspapers and stuff like that I highly recommend you stop doing that it's a complete waste of time does that mean that there is no sust as horoscopes in in in Judaism no there is there is horoscopes in Judaism but you're not going to find it in the newspaper you're not going to find in the newspaper there are influences from the celestial signs there are influences on a person's nature that are already happened when you were created what are these influences and here the goes Celestial sign dominates at the hour of one's birth meaning it's not going to affect you this week differently the next week no no no the hour that you were born that's is going to influence the person's nature he who is born during the hour of the sun will be a person of lustrous appearance he will eat his own food and drink his own beverages but his Secrets will be revealed to all if he steals if he attempts to steal he will be successful he was born during the hour of the planet Venus will be a wealthy man and will be a promiscuous man also what's the reason because the fire of passion Burns within him he who was born during the hour of mercury will be a radiant and wise man because Mercury is the secretary meaning the constant companion of the Sun and he who is born during the hour of the moon will be a man who suffers afflictions a lot of suffering in his life poor guy and he he will he will build and raise raise and build he will have to eat food and that is not his own uh uh that is not his own and drink beverages that are not his own but his Secrets will remain concealed and if he attempts to steal he will succeed to go into the details of what each and every single one of means is a completely different Shure but I'm just giving you an understanding of what's going on here he was born during the hour of Saturn will be a man whose every plan comes to to not but some say every plan that is plotted against him will come to not meaning it could be one extreme or the other either he's going to be a complete failure in life everything he tries goes to nothing or the exact opposite no one can touch him everyone's trying to take him down take him down take him down nothing G Him special protection and he who is born during the hour of Jupiter will be a man of rectitude so what does it mean this rectitude meaning he's going to be very charitable have money or be very generous and he was born during the hour of Mars will be a man who spills blood and this particular point is the one that we're going to focus on a little bit what does it mean spills blood say what do you mean spills blood he's going to be murderer what kind of Spiller of blood says I one of the Rashi says listen I what uh what kind of spill of blood is he going to be a butcher is he going to be a blood Letter is it going to be a murderer is it going be a mo meaning doing Raba says I was born during the hour of Mars and I'm not a Spiller of blood and ab says to him the master has also punished and killed those who violate his rulings and thus technically you are a Spiller of blood meaning you're in a over here and people that violated your rulings you gave them the whips or death penalty if if necessary which means technically you did spill blood so says the celestial signs of one's birth determine intelligence they determine wealth they deter they they they hold sway over Israel didn't we learn from Abu that they don't have any uh any sway over is so comes and says the celestial signs hold no sway over is if they pray and they have merits to Prevail over that meaning you're predisposition the way you are originally is every single person is born at a specific time time and that time will influence the person's character this guy will be more likely to be will have more desires to be lustrous this guy is going to be uh you know more into uh money the other guy is going to be thief the other guy is going to be uh you know be attracted to to blood different things that is in essence the makeup how that affects your life is based on your action you can use that knack for blood to kill people Shalom or you could be a surgeon and save people's lives you can use that knock to hurt people or you could use that knock to support people whatever your behavior is how this you're going to utilize this whole thing so and then say look we see that this prayer and actions can change can change a person why because a person could be predestined to do something based on the Stars based on the uh the celestial beings and so on but if his actions follow the Torah things can change as we know from the story of sh the says sh was one time spending time with a friend of his who was a non-jewish scholar alet and AET was a very very wise man he's mentioned several times in thear says see this guy is passing by us he's going to get killed based on why I understand he's going to get killed by a snake Shmo says to him if he's a Jew he's not going to get killed by a snake as they would have it they continue walking later on they see this guy coming back same guy coming back carrying some pieces of wood have let says them come here he takes the guy and he takes put down all the things that you have and as he takes down all the pieces of wood in his bag he opens it and he sees that the snake was cut in half snake was cut in half fascinated this how do this be I mean according to my knowledge this guy was supposed to be killed by the snake not the snake killed by him come and says to the person he says to him what did you do what good deed did you do today tell me that maybe gave you Merit for such a thing and the guy says to them well listen every day me and my fellow employees we share you know each one brings food and we share we put everything in one basket and everybody shares everything but today one of the guys didn't have anything and I was the only one that knew I was the only one that knew he didn't have anything and I knew that if he didn't have anything he can't share everybody else so I didn't want him to get embarrassed so I told the guys one second and I pretended like I was I was uh doing something but in reality I slipped him a piece of my food a piece of my bread so he could put it in the basket and then make it seem as if it's his and he does have embarrassment and he could also eat come says from here we learn can save you from death the same thing we learn also from R aka's daughter R AA had some uh friends astrologers that told them listen your daughter is destined to die on her wedding day knew that according to their knowledge this this was true but he didn't want to tell her he didn't want to ruin a wedding now comes the wedding the wedding is there so on and so forth Anda comes to the room he sees that his daughter is gone he comes to the room to see what you know what's going on he knocks on the door and he sees that his daughter is alive say oh W you're you're you're alive she goes ABA why and she takes the pin out of the wall that she had she had a pin for her hair she takes the pin out of the wall to put back in her hair but with the p P comes the snake that was stabbed by the pin and killed she say oh wow almost got killed by the Snake look at that it's dead says yes my dear daughter what did you do that was so good that gave you such a merit she say well I guess well we were fasting my you know we were fasting all day and I haven't eat all day and I I came to this room really to to eat cuz I was starving I haven't eaten the whole day but as I went by I saw that there was this poor man that came to the wedding but no one was paying him any attention he didn't have any food so I said you know what yal I gave him my food and I still haven't eaten comes and he gives a lecture to his from there we learn will save your life so we see from here that the although the celestial beings if you will the time of birth and so on can influence and does influence the life of a person the traits of a person how it influences the person is based on the person's actions if you do good in accordance to the Tor or if not that all depends now comes the zor as I told you comes the zor the zor in the uh in in uh page 263 263 I'm sorry 275 275 it says says I saw in the book of SCH I saw in the book of schl there are some people that are born during the month of the shabai during the month of the shabai star and these people are always unhappy they're always unhappy no matter what you know you uh have pools coming up everybody's excited you know the little kids are running around with little costumes some adults are running around with costumes everybody's happy with the groger and you see this guy looks like hey it's not it's not you know it's not a morning day goes no what's wrong says what's wrong no I don't know you look upset no I'm fine you sure you're fine yeah fine you know it's a happy day I'm happy this how you're happy yeah well I wonder how you look sad some people are like that some people like that nothing doesn't matter the guy just had a kid just had a kid hey no MTO thanks that's it thanks yeah thanks what what do you want you just made a million dollars good for you yeah thanks that's it yeah that's it what you're not happy no I'm happy meaning everything is the same to him or is miserable there are some people like this says there are some people like this that they're unhappy naturally unhappy and here's the kicker and the only thing that can make them happy the only thing that could bring joy to their life is learning toah that's the only thing everything else might as well be water on the bridge everything else might as well be sand everything else up down sideways doesn't make a difference says people that are born during a specific time of the sh it doesn't matter what happens these people they're just naturally unhappy and the only thing that brings them true Joy where they're related they're happy is learning toah that's it so we we see you know some people are going to say listen uh poor guy what if he doesn't know what if he knows don't worry who knows his creation yeah but maybe it's too hard okay so stay unhappy stay unhappy what you want to learn toah no the point being is is that everybody has a choice as the the PM 199 says that the orders of hem are upright gladdening the heart the command of hem is clear and lightening the eyes so David gives us clear instructions from a he says the Torah these they're the ones that going to make you happy they're the ones that going to make you happy and what about oh what am I going to do about making money what am I going to do about finding a wife what am I going to do about finding this finding that making the out Clarity they will also give you Torah will also give you Clarity you're looking for happiness you're looking for clarity has it have it and that's why a lot of people once they do CH they start learning all of a sudden they see the world very clear I Know Myself although I thought I saw the world very clear at certain parts of my life when everything went to hell and uh was on fire and I had no idea what's right what's left who's this who's that and everything went to the garbage practically nothing was clear suddenly I started learning to and everything started becoming clear and not only that it started becoming happy started becoming happy so I can tell you that what the sages are saying here is not just a suggestion shalom it's not just a oneoff but rather try it and test it try it and test it so here we see that although the nature of a person is influenced by when he's born or when she is Born the actions of a person needless to say especially if they're a Jew the actions of a person can change that fortune can change that influence turning it from being attracted to blood for the sake of murder into being attracted to blood for the sake of doing Brit or surgery or so on and so forth something positive being being a leader of of of criminals or being a leader of and so on and so forth so the actions of a person will dictate how those things are going to influence you whether you learn to or you don't learn toah so he says that this evil inclination go back to the K this evil inclination is especially active when the sin is hidden and unclear meaning this sin is within his nature he's simply attracted to to uh to being the leader but why is being a leader of bad people a good thing so he could tell you listen if I'm not going to lead them somebody else will that he's much worse than me so does not make it right that I should be a leader of them because at least I won't tell them to kill people out right just sell some drugs NOAB being a leader of bad people is bad in any way shape or form what about if there's a worse leader will take care of him too you have a job go be a leader of good people go be a leader of good people don't try to rationalize the thing because the uh it makes sense in your mind so this Force the force in a man's heart which what we call in Hebrew matp or in the psychological World they call the inner conscious the subconscious the subconscious of a person which is one of the things that Hitler may his name be blotted out he's the one that says that the Jews invented the conscience and that's one of the things that he wanted to destroy with the Jewish people he didn't like the fact that people have a uh uh an inner conscious or an inner Force as the Kish describes it that uh condemns a person's destructive Behavior so this force that aids a person in his battle against the body's desires because the person is half man half angel practically you know he has these animalistic desires but at the same token he has uh this spiritualistic uh desires he wants to do good she wants to do good but the same token she wants everybody to say hi she wants to be modest but she wants everybody to notice her modesty so is that really modesty not so much if you're looking to get you know the attraction of other people you you're looking to attract other people that's already the opposite of modesty I'm not saying that you have to be ugly and look like you're walking in a a walking garbage pil but again you should not be attractive shouldn't be attracting different people's attention if you're looking to be modest you should be modest as if you don't exist walk and leave and go by and listen if that's pretty that's not a problem but if it's attractive that's a problem so now a person wants to do good she wants to do good but at the same token she has animalistic desires these animalistic desires are what the conscience is going to remind her of listen don't do it don't wear that don't put that on don't do this don't do that why it's not good for you it's not good for you so now the um a person that knows that Torah is the only instruction set that you can rely on is going to follow it but then there are some people as the book of Deuteronomy says in a chapter 4 a verse number six that this Torah is the the wisdom that we have in front of all of the Nations but then there are sometimes some people that is only that is only in their own eyes meaning they're smart in their own eyes it's their own opinion nobody else thinks they're smart AEM shely doesn't think they're smart but they think that they're smart why because they read some books and because they have a lot of money or they have a certain amount of success or they have a certain amount of YouTube followers and so on and so forth so they think that they're smart because they did certain things that other people appreciate respect and so on and so forth mistake the only is other are disposable now surely if someone has a certain wisdom even if they're not Jewish they have a certain wisdom in medicine they have a certain wisdom in in mathematics they have certain wisdom in other things says if there is wisdom in the in the non-jews you can believe them but if a non-jew comes to you with Torah ideas don't believe him why no such thing as wisdom of Torah in the non-jews no wisdom no offense this is the rule of the Tor this is why because the Torah requires for it to be for you to be part of that Torah wisdom that's part of is it has to have that Jewish spark so even though sometimes you'll see that a nju comes up with a nice idea it tells you look Rabbi I saw this and I had the idea that maybe it's this this and this okay very nice but this was already said by Rabbi so and so 20 years ago Rabbi so and so 200 years ago meaning your idea is good but somebody else already had it it's not a new Innovative K not inovative K you're not creating anything you're not creating anything but if he comes to you with something new that no one else no one else none of the Jewish people have ever said none of the wise people of am have ever said can't believe it why cannot be cannot be why is this racism yeah hasm is racist call racist if you want you want to be part of the of you have to become Jewish simple but doesn't mean that you have to become Jewish to learn tah you could learn Torah that's relevant to you you can learn mus you could learn the uh the weekly par and so but if you want to start bringing new ideas into the Jewish world into the Torah world you have to be Jewish why you need that holy spark that holy spark that connects you to the rest of that's what the in essence is saying so now some people say no no listen I could do it anyway even though I'm not Jewish and I have a few people you know this one guy sent me a whole Mill he's telling me listen but theim say over here that really you can marry this one but over here the and he's in essence writing me like as if it's his own respons of what he thinks what the say about a certain what do we do delete why delete again I know the guy is not Jewish he's not even interested in becoming Jewish and the reality is he has his own warped mentality of what things should be he's already in essence disagreeing with the sages that he's not even enough to be their shoe that's the thing he is smart in his own eyes and that happens unfortunately often why because that Torah that they have that Torah that they have is not coming from the Torah of am but rather it's coming from their own intellectual endeavors those morals that they have are only those morals because they fit their current agenda they're not coming from the Torah they're coming from their own agenda they want to be kind they want to be this they want to be that all these good things during that time because it fits their agenda so what happens if it doesn't fit their agenda comes the Kish and he says the following the force that aids a person in his battle against the body's desires and wishes this force is dormant and it lacks the power to condemn the evil results of crooked judgment feelings do not take note of Al and if one follows one's emotions it will not even occur to him to examine the possibility of the Judgment being fallacious here is one of the key things that I would love I would love for people to literally engrave this into their mind especially people that are not religious with they say listen Rabbi I may not be as religious as you I may not keep this I may not keep that but God knows my heart and he knows that I love him and he knows that I'm doing my best there is no such thing why that's purely emotions that's purely emotions you think that God you know uh understands your heart because you think your heart is correct you think that your heart is correct why because your heart is telling you that Shabbat is too hard being a pure is hard being modest is hard and so on and so forth so K says feelings don't even take note of what Allah is why when you have emotions there's no common sense there's no rationality it's just simply emotions and if a person follows their emotions it won't even occur to this person to examine whether they're right or wrong why they're so emotional they're convinced they're right I have this particular story going on right now one particular person that I said something about them they're not too happy about it and they are constantly sending me messages so on listen I want to talk about this I want to talk about this I want to talk about okay fine you want to talk about it but listen prove what I'm saying is wrong no you said it wrong I didn't say anything wrong I'm telling you what I said you see it it's nothing's wrong in essence he is convinced that he's right without even reviewing the facts without even understanding the the what the Torah actually entails here why why does Yumi right because it hurt his ego it hurt his emotions when you're using your emotions you're not even going to consider what Al is you're not going to consider Al say listen well I didn't see this I said something else listen khabibi you have to understand whether you're a rabbi or you're not a rabbi if you're mentioning Torah in your video You're representing the Torah like it or not you're representing the Torah and if you minimize what the Torah said even if you don't mean to even if you meant to say uh this is good this is part of our uh culture and it's not a custom this is part of a custom and not a culture this is this and it's not that it's a mitvah it's a suggestion it's a this it's that bottom line is if the actual message implied implied that a Mitzvah obligation of toah is lesser than the obligation that it is you have failed even if you didn't mean to even if you didn't mean to even if you meant to say no you have to do this no even if you didn't mean to if you minimize the Mitzvah comes the says says when someone minimizes any of the we Qui him what does quiet him in those days they kill him we're not killing anybody here but the point being here is is that when a person is so emotional because they don't like being highlighted they don't like being told off they don't like being rebuked they're not even thinking about what they said they're thinking listen I didn't mean to say that you understood it that way but I didn't mean to say yeah I'm not the only one that understood it thousands of other people understood it you minimize the Mitzvah you made a mistake yeah but I didn't mean to doesn't matter that you didn't mean to it doesn't matter that you didn't mean to this was the result but because of your emotions you're assuming that you're right now this is not a one-off situation says this is relatively normal a person that's emotional is not even going to evaluate what's right or what's wrong not even evaluate if they're even wrong themselves well why because their emotions will make the take the best of them it's therefore K continues it's therefore not at all surprising to find individuals whose character traits have been refined to a certain extent meaning the guy overall the girl overall typically beautiful nice generous likable this that got all the good things you could say everyone wants to call this person my best friend typically why because overall this person is always generous this that all the good things says it's not surprising to findest individual whose character traits have been refined to a certain extent but suddenly suddenly we see this person under particular circumstances displaying a different trait when they get involved in a weighty conflict with a fellow Jew they refuse to heed the opinion of the wise meaning of the of the person that knows he's not looking for the he's not following the doesn't matter doesn't matter yeah but says you can't do this says you can't wear that says you can't go there come on oh I didn't know you just yell rabis just like that and I didn't know no no it's because of this because of that how how did that happen ah when they get into a weighty conflict with a fellow Jew they refuse to heed the opinion of the wise nor do they seek out what the alic ruling is instead they find themselves deeply embroiled in conflict and all of the refinement of their souls having disappeared Into Thin Air here we see the in so many words saying without without it is impossible to be a moral person on a regular basis especially when there is a pressure test especially when there is something that is putting your morals to the test simple on the everyday basis you'll be happy hello hello how are you how are you hello to everybody very nice somebody comes to you for a few dollars very kind somebody invit you somewhere show up you have an event you invite everybody overall every day y amazing but the second push comes to shove your husband pushes a nerve your wife pushes a nerve your kid pushes a nerve your boss pushes a nerve your fellow employee pushes a nerve the rabbi pushes a nerve or two may be and all of a sudden the two horns come out of the head taking over the surface surrounding it trying to kill whatever is near it what happened I thought you were a uh I thought you were a human what happened I thought you were a uh but is what happened why you rushing towards me what's going on over here it becomes a horror movie why why button what happened to the kindness what happened to the humility what happened to the generosity what happened to all of that all of that says was not based on the Torah she wasn't generous kind and moral because of the Torah she was was because it fit her personality as a result of the time she was born it was her nature simple it was her nature to smile when people walked around it was her nature to be kind it was her nature to do all these different things but as soon as you disrupted her nature then comes out all of those feelings all of those things go into garbage and another part of her nature the destructive part comes out and could literally murder whoever is in front of her with a smile at the end and I'm sorry I didn't mean to even this is what happens when a person simply does not follow what the Tora says to the T there's an example of this I learned with that really puts things in perspective in the Torah The Book of Leviticus we have a very interesting verse this in the Book of Leviticus chapter 20 in verse number 17 here we're talking about how Amis needs to be holy and what makes am Holy by the way we treat our moral ity our intimacy how we treat our wives how we treat our fellow Jews how we treat ourselves and privacy and so on and so forth comes the Mitzvah that forbids ancestral relationships between a brother and a sister in verse 17 [Applause] a man who shall take his sister the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother meaning a guy wants to marry his sister he figures listen I babysat her I took care of her I know exactly what she likes I know what she doesn't like Perfect Mate why not this is what Psychopaths think one of the subjects can't even call him a human being that we reviewed as one of the movie we didn't include this but one of the people he himself this is exactly how he thinks this exactly how he thought he said that he had a a daughter that he was in essence making for himself that's how Psychopaths have and he had 1,200 victims really a big monster in society somehow still alive point being is sick people will rationalize the worst things this guy here hasem said listen this guy says I want to marry my sister why I Babys sat her I took care of her I know what she likes she knows what I like we look alike what's the problem I know she has a good family what's the problem he wants to marry his sister and he shall see her nakedness and she shall see his nakedness means normally kindness why is this why is this kindness now if you're going to look in your arch in English you're not going to see kindness you're going to see the word disgrace but in Hebrew it says typically means kindness so how come the English translation says disgrace is it wrong no it's not wrong and I'll tell you why says he sees our nakedness to disgrace and they shall be cut off in the sight of the members of of their people he will have uncovered the nakedness of the sister and she bear his iniquity meaning they're both they're cut off on the people death penalty is their incest is forbidden if there's any children coming from an incestral relationship that child is called A M and M is not allowed to marry anyone among is that is not a m uh as I told you last week it's either they're allowed to Marry m or a convert but a convert is only because Hashem created a way for the child to fix his his Heritage in the future now the point being here is that we see a unusual word in this whole Mitzvah of forbidding incestual relationships where writes he says he wants to see her she wants to see him she said this is a butash on the Place says this is really disgrace wait so how do you decide it's a disgrace or is it a kindness well we surely know it's a disgrace because we know they get death penalty we know they get punished so obviously it's not kindness so how would we know why is it called then why isid sometimes us as a disgrace and sometimes uses kindness these are two opposites so Rashi brings midash and he says look the midash says that you're going to say look Cain and Abel they married their sisters Cain was born with a twin sister and he married her Abel was born with two sisters two twin sisters and he married them and kazal says that this is the reason why Cain killed Abel he was jealous that he had two wives so that's why he killed them and on this particular action where when they were together it says that hasem made a and Cain and Abel were able to marry their wives what's the what's the kindness hasem made an exception one time in history in order to allow the world to exist because there was no other people in the world in order to World allow the world to exist and to populate if you will can and Abel were allowed to marry their twin sisters but this was a one-time exception that was the will of hasem hence the hence the kindness so it's kindness when it's the will of hem it's a disgrace when it's your will you see it's kindness for kable because AEM will it hasem wanted them to be with their sisters because that was the way to populate the world he made an exception as a one-time case simply to populate the world but if you want to do what cainan Abel did you are a disgrace why because it's no longer the will of hasem how do we know it's no longer the will of hem the Torah says so it's not the will of hem anymore and if you do it you're following your own will not the will of hem so you see here is that if a person follow his own intuition his that is motivated by his inner desires that are influenced by how he was born and when he was born and so on that intuition that desire will have animalistic influence that will lead him astray to translate that word as kindness incest being kindness same thing when it talks about a men and women not being allowed to be per uous the word that's used in the Torah is kimim in most places means holy but here Hashem says no in that particular case it means priscu it's holy when it's following my words it's promiscuous and forbidden when it's following your desire so here we see when a person follows their intuition they're bound to fail miserably Miser because they don't even know where is right and where is left in order to know that right is the right direction and left is the wrong direction they don't know how to read the words they don't know how to follow anything they're simply reading things as is hence the reason why in Christianity there's so many mistakes in every single page and practically every single verse in their false Testament because they're reading things literally they don't know what's right they don't know what's left same thing with the Quran they don't know what's right they don't what's left and they make an a million different mistakes literally a million different mistakes that the average that studies the subject and and knows a little bit of can spot it in any Quran in any new testament but there's no reason to do that because that's just but the point being is is that all of the converts that come from the other from from different religions they're not discovering the to and say oh wow it's so much better it's not just that they're coming to the Torah and saying my whole life was fake everything I believe was fake say why isn't Jos good guy isn't Muhammad his best friend like why why he says that you know what's the problem no you don't understand that whole new testament that whole Quran that all that all that stuff it was all fake it was all nonsense it was all complete garbage made up by people the Torah is real why because once you see the truth falsehood is irrelevant but you cannot see the truth from your own perspective you have to see the truth from someone who knows Tor from someone who knows what a said and how to translate the words so it's not their perspective even it's literally what is what the opinion of the to because they've toiled and toiled and toiled for many many years and relied on other sages before them that also toil for many many years literally the the information that you're getting is based on a 3,000 year knowledge not opinion 3,000 years of knowledge 3,000 years of toiling it's not this random guy's opinion today in the year 2021 whereas your interpretation of the uh of whatever you're reading even if it's Torah it's not going to be based on 3,000 years why because you don't know enough yet you don't know enough yet that's why we always have to bring sources so the point is here is that when a person relies on their own knowledge relies on their own intuition relies on their own abilities they're bound to fail miserably they're bound to fail so miserably because even reading the words they will not be able to do even understanding how to apply them they will not be able to do whereas when a person relies on the sages they're going to be able to know this has a connecting a Connecting Point not just to the rabbi that told me and not just to his Rabbi but all the way to the source itself all the way to the source itself now when a person humbles the themselves and accepts for what it is it becomes very easy to become a Pure vessel that accepts the truth as is what gets in the way of many people their emotions why because they're willing to accept the truth as long as it doesn't disturb their reality as I once said everyone loves the truth until it obligates them until it obligates them people love when you when I talk about oh Shabbat is an idol worshipper they love it why cuz they keep Shabbat so it doesn't bother them I say into marriage it's a it's death penalty they don't care why because they're married to a Jewish person they don't don't care but if I say wasting seed is forbidden or if I say cash advance business is forbidden or anything else that's forbidden and they're the ones that are you know the perpetrator of this crime all of a sudden like yeah this Rabbi I don't know I don't know what's going into him he's a little bit extreme he's fanatic what fanatic I'm mentioning to you what says how come it wasn't fanatic when I said it about Shabbat how come it wasn't fanatic when I said about anything else ah you love the truth until it obligate you and that's happened many times with different people that cried out you the name of the rabbi as if he's the Messiah I love him I love him I love him the second he said something that obligates them specifically or simply is the opposite of what they believed all of a sudden their Spears stones grenades curse everything under the sun and I've seen this many times and unfortunately that is a true uh and outright proof that that person was not a fan of that Rabbi that person was not learning from the rabbi that person was simply entertained that's it they weren't learning they were simply entertained collecting information to add to their emotional disposition collect cting information in order to support their pre-existing beliefs that's it they weren't learning anything for the sake of improving themselves they weren't learning anything in in order to make themselves a better version no they were in essence looking for different bits of information that could add to their already Wicked personality they're already rotten ideology and that's unfortunately happened more more than once and unfortunately not the last time why just the nature of people if you're going to learn T without an intention to change yourself then the Torah will be a Tor will be a potion of death and several other places says if you treat the Tor like it's supposed to it'll be a portion of Life it'll take you out of depression it'll fix your problem problems you'll be in Cloud9 all the time but if you don't treat the Torah the right way and you simply treat as if it's an intellectual Endeavor you already think you're talking to God directly you already think that you know more than the rabbis you already think that the rabbis are not giving you enough credit because you really are an undercover undiscovered big deal you my friend are in serious trouble why the Torah that you're learning and I repeat the Torah that you're learning is a potion of death to you why because you're not looking to improve yourself you already think you're perfectly fine and it's the rabbis that are not giving you enough credit it's the Jewish people that are not giving you enough p on the back it's society that has not discovered how holy you are you my friend are using the Torah incorrectly and therefore the Torah itself is making itself a potion of death to you why that's what happens when you do something bad to someone if you cheat on your wife and you think she doesn't know guess what maybe one day she'll put a little extra in your drink you're going to say oh why why why you trying to kill me well what why what's so wrong with that it's not going to say anything wrong with it you're killing me emotionally I'm going to do a little physically what's the problem of course it's not recommended but in essence that's what the Torah does to people if you mistreat the Torah the Torah will tell you you're treating me like an intellectual Endeavor you're treating me as if you already know me and you know everything about me and you're going against those sages those rabbis that toiled their entire lives just learning me and and you're going against them you're disagreeing with them I will become a potion of death for you why you used your logic instead of the opinion of feels like it's being cheated and that's actually what happens page 62b says that Rael saw this young man 40 years old named AKA who worked for her father kala kalba was one of the three richest men of the land holy man righteous man knew some tah and wanted his young beautiful daughter to marry a but this young righteous ra she had a different plan she saw that this guy that's cleaning the horses for her father is Akiva son of converts he has great midot perfectly suited for a husband what about the Tora she says with those good character traits I'll send him to go learn T and he'll become the perfect human being he'll become a with good character traits and everyone knows the story how she got married to him her father got mad and uh disowned her she still went forward with it she sent her husband a IA to Yeshiva for 12 years he came back while one of her Wicked neighbors was making fun of her saying that this AKA probably left her and he's abandoned her and so on and she said no my AKA is learning tah and if he really knew what I wanted he would go for another 12 years and AKA AKA who's now become R AKA heard his wife heard the will of his wife and went back to for another 12 years in order to make sure that there is the continuation of the tah continuation of tah made it much greater wasn't 12 + 12 equal 24 but rather a magnification a magnification of the effect similar to the reason of why hated hated the fact that there is Yesa go and take long breaks from their Yesa learning from months at a time every few months why because when you learn tah on a continuous basis it has much more impact on your than if you just learn randomly the point being is is that one of the in that was in America says he never understood why there's even Ben he never understood he says in our Yesa we're considered strict by having Ben's money for only one month a year but other yes have it every other month because I never even understand why we have a month he say I don't understand why we have a month I don't understand why we have Ben Mone this is the time to learn to what else is to do in the world this is the previous generation in America now the point is is that A's wife says go for another 12 years didn't even say Al went back to yes for another 12 years came back after 24 years of not seeing his wife with 24,000 students the biggest Rabbi ever aside from had all of is as his students R AA had 24,000 students no one else ever had before or after as many students as R AA now you havea himself who used to be an ignor doesn't know anything cleans horses but had good character traits in he says in 49b he says to his students that when he was in before he learned tah he hated he hated Torah Scholars so much so that when he would see a Torah scholar he would want to bite him like a donkey and said rebi why a donkey why not a fox or a dog or something he says no I hated them so much these religious people that wanted to bite them like a donkey because when a a fox or or a dog bites they just eat the flesh when a donkey bites he crushes the bones meaning his hatred his hatred of Torah Scholars of religious people was enormous literally more than Lefty liberals today so what is what why is he telling us to his students while he's saying about himself what's what's to learn from here everything he is saying in a single sentence in a single story everything that we learned so far today from the K he says listen my wife picked me out because she saw that I had good traits when I was with the horses I was nice to the animals there was some Rabbi that I did some work for and he didn't have the money and I ended up being okay with it and I said okay you know no problem you don't have it no big deal and there's different stories of R aka before he knew T that show he had good character traits he was a really nice guy but comes R AKA and testifies on himself and he says I hated the scholars so much I wanted to crush their bones give me a nice scholar so I can rip him in half what kind of where's the good character traits comes R and says to his students before I had I had good traits only because that was my fortune I was born a certain way and I had good traits and whenever it fit my agenda to express those traits it fit but as soon as one of those religious people crossed my path and I didn't like him he gave me an attitude he did something whatever it was my hatred for him was much greater than anyone else meaning that my traits were flawed so flawed that the ha hatred that I had to the good to the best people was magnified was magnified even worse than hatred to bad people why because my morals were based on my own intuition my own understanding my own upbringing and that's never going to be good enough that's never going to be good enough you see we have a PUK we have a PUK in Psalms 329 it says don't be like a horse or like a mule uncomprehending to restrain to restrain it with a muzzle and brittle when it's adorned so comes DAV in Psalm 329 says don't be a horse don't be a donkey so what if R akba comes and gives a lecture about based on the words of DAV what is he going to say guys don't be horses don't be donkeys that's the lesson from DAV what's the lesson here is trying to teach us the horse has good manners he's nice he's helps you he'll do work for you he'll do a lot of things the mule same thing same thing he'll carry your load he'll do everything but that's only when you feed it when you treat it good when you are in its right position but if you taunt it if you starve it if you don't treat it right and you're right at the perfect position for its foot you're going to see that foot meet your face real quick without even having a second opportunity so don't be like a horse where as soon as everybody's nice to you you're perfectly nice you do your job you do this you do that but the second they say something you don't like you kick them in the face with a memorable kick don't be such a horse don't be such a person my dear grandfather Sab Shalom he was a part of a family of gim of Heroes I've told you a couple of stories about him and one time there was a guy that had horses who said to my sabba he said this horse over here that's a evil horse says why is evil horse says anyone that goes on that horse immedately that horse does everything possible to not only get him get the person off but literally to hurt the person break his back hurt him and so on and so forth that horse is an evil horse if you want him take him for free my sabba says okay give it to me he takes the horse but he doesn't ride them he takes him to the big oceanem Israel has quite an ocean over there we grew up in NATA there's a big ocean takes him to to the ocean and puts him into the water right up to the point where is neck now of course without being trained the horses can't really move that much in the ocean can't really move that much in the ocean so that's when he goes and he climbs on top of him and he starts hitting him starts hitting him after a little while the little horse that was evil it's like a little pussycat why he got the training he got the training teaches he says don't be like the horse that you need beatings don't be like the horse that need beatings you can go into the ocean of T and that way you could learn or you can get the beatings like the horse and get trained but sometimes if you already think you know enough to and you're still acting like a horse you'll get both both you need to learn tah and you need to get some beatings and sufferings from hasem that's why it doesn't pay to be a horse it pays to be someone that listens to the Tor someone that listens to the we have many different things in the Tor that if we do not pay attention to the smallest details our logic can tell us that we are right when we are in fact wrong in this SE when you go out to war a wonderful sepher about that uh has lot of different sources about a different things and he brings different different Source from all over the place and he mentions the page 57b where talks about a story witha who says that a famous that if there's a person who knows that there's two ways to get from point A to point B point A to point B point a is shorter and he's in a hurry point B is longer so far point a sounds like the better choice but point a has girls has all types of pubs and clubs and all types of things over there but he is literally going to get to where he needs to in 5 minutes and he figures you know what I'm going to close my eyes point B is longer there's no girls there's no nothing over there but it's a long road it's going to take him a half hour and he's going to be late comes the and say which one did he go because if he went the shorter Direction because that made sense to him especially since he believed in himself that he's going to close his eyes and not look at the immorality not look at the promiscuity not look at the Forbidden he trust himself she trusts herself that even though she's going to sleep at his house she's not going to touch even though he's going to cross her PA they're not going to do nothing they trusted themselves says Wicked but he didn't sin he didn't do anything he actually got to his destination without sinning said says according to our Torah they're still considered Wicked why are they still considered Wicked without sinning because even bringing yourself close to the sin close to the sin intentionally shows that you have no shows that really deep inside you're Wicked you trust yourself too much you have too much arrogance you think that you know better than the sages that warned you to stay away from certain things in so many words there is so many things that you did wrong as a result of that decision that surely you have not learned anywhere near enough to you are only using your logic but you're saying that what you're saying makes Torah sense why because you're trying to get to the shield on time you're trying to be morally correct you don't want to be late so that's why you took that path that decision for the sake of morals was not the morals of the Torah was your morals was your honor was your ego had nothing to do with t because if you follow the Torah you would know there's no permission whatsoever to get close to to sin no permission whatsoever not in dating not in business not in anything now he then brings the Tes by who says that I quote when a Jew walks in the streets and his evil inclination clatters inside him to look this way and that way at women and he restrains himself from gazing at them at that moment he has a time of divine Good Will in heaven like at the closing of yum Kip in which he can request whatever he wants and who would be a fool to turn away from this so here comes one of the great sages of the last 100 years that discussed T and he says when you follow the sages exactly word for word you wouldn't even go that path you wouldn't even go that path now what if you don't have that kind of an option there isn't a right or a left both path this is New York this is Tel Aviv they're full of Filth anywhere so obviously you don't have you're not a wicked person you're not trying to beat the system but bottom line is you're trying to go somewhere what do you do when you have no place to go what if you go you're Wicked no you can't you have to stop yourself from looking if you stop yourself from looking you have the protection of heaven and not only that what's going to keep you motivated says get motivated by the fact that if you pass this test that you didn't bring on yourself you're just simply this is where you are in the world you didn't bring this test on yourself this is a test that hasem brought to you and you're going to pass the test by not looking at immorality by not doing anything wrong you can now ask Hashem for anything you want just like on y Kip and then he brings a to me first two things I knew but then that wrote this book brings a I never heard before wonderful K from the son of RAB the son of the the son of says that he heard it from his father's mouth directly that when a Jew walks in a small iMat Street and guards his eyes again he didn't bring this test on himself this is the only thing available but he guards his eyes it's considered in heaven as if he completed a small tractate in he just completed m he just completed he just completed just from that walk why it's that much of a big deal and when he walks in a Bigg e mod Street he just has no option he has to go through Fifth Avenue in Manhattan he has to go to one of these not because he brought it on himself that's where his job is he has no other option this is where he's feeding his kids there is no the way and he passed the street this big him out street and he guard his eyes not even for a second he's not looking anywhere that's inappropriate says it's considered in heaven as if he finished a big tract he just finished and so on and so forth that's how much of a big deal it is is to not only watch your eyes that you already knew but to watch your eyes because the told you to to watch your eyes because that's what it says in the Torah not because it makes sense to you and because your wife's next to you no because that's what the S says that's what's going to preserve your that each and every single one of us will glue ourselves to the holy Torah in it sages to protect our holy to make sure that we publicize the Torah to make sure that we live the Tor and overcome all of the evil inclination that we have in US regardless of when we were born regardless of where we live regardless of what upbringing we have we use the Torah and its sages to follow the words of Hashem 100% without any exception and to bring as many as many of the precious that around the world that want the truth to the truth once and for all so when the Mia does arrive he has many many people to welcome him and to bring Salvation to amen amen [Music] you know when you
