Daily Chidush: How Do I Do Teshuva For Stealing Gambling?

hello how are you hope you're having an amazing week we're having an amazing lecture tour here in New York just finished another amazing lecture uh much more Kim in regards to the personal story details I've never told before also did something amazing with ra M yesterday told about the personal story the personal chuva of uh my my dear wife and her part of the story so a lot of amazing new things coming out uh they've some of them have been published but we'll have more published tomorrow but it's truly truly amazing to be here with people that are looking for the truth are connecting to Hashem and are looking for even more but I wanted to add this K aside from uh explaining to you how psyched I am to to to be here and to to to be part of this whole movement this cure movement this K Revolution that be uh we're doing and and will continue to do beat uh I also wanted to add a uh one major K today because of a great question that was asked earlier today uh by one of the fans uh an old friend that uh she's uh becoming slowly but surely it's AIC and uh doing chv keeping Shabbat watching sh but there there was a there was there's an issue out there where what happens when someone steals how do they do chva because it came up in a that uh kazal says that uh the sages say that uh if someone does chva doing the MIT but arrives to the gate of ganeden with dirty hands dirty hands that have stolen in their life they do not let that person in to ganeden no person has ever entered ganeden or will enter ganeden if they have stolen money on their hands this is a very very scary fromal that many of us never knew as we've learned before when we talked about gambling that this is something that's very scary because sometimes somebody gambles without knowing it's still considered stealing so what do we do what do we do do when we have stolen but now that we found out the truth we want to we want to go to GED we want to we want to do chuva how do we do chuva so kazal actually has implemented something ahead of time the as AEM obviously gave him the Torah he gave him the Cure before the ill before we knew we were sick he already provided us the Cure he commanded each and every single one of us to givea is not just something you do on the side for fun or just because you want to make make your conscience feel good is a way that we could also repent for many of our sins that we don't know we committed we're not sure we committed we don't know the person that we committed it with uh perhaps we can't connect to them even if we stole from them or perhaps cheated them or even borrowed money and not able to pay them and then finally when we have it they disappeared off the face of the Earth and we can't find them how do you do cuz that money now that you owe and you never paid back turns into GZA turns into theft if he gave up on it or she gave up on it that officially becomes stealing how do you do Chua for something like that so kazal says this is where comes in there's two parts ofak there's the that every single person needs to do even a even something that's minimal even a homeless person must give that level of obviously every person in his level if you're making millions then obviously you know that your level is not giving a few thousand your level has to be propor to what you have in the same context if you're making a few few dollars and you're barely surviving you also need to give Sak but proportionate to what you have proportionate of what you make not what you want to have but what you have but then there's a second part which is tells us in a couple of places in tah one major source that's aside from the five books of Moses is in the Book of Job he tells us he says if you give the tithe you give 10% of your net income I guarantee you that you will become rich in your own lifetime he doesn't say time he doesn't say place he just says that this is the only thing in the entire Torah that you're allowed to test me you're allowed to test me for the M for me to make you rich but you have to withstand the test meaning if you give M for a year two years three years nothing happens tell not the test Hashem knows that you could withstand a longer test so the reality of it is that we have to give M number one because Hashem said so and number two because Hashem also guaranteed us a very large reward now the main thing is is that people sometimes don't understand that m is something we have to do it's not something that's like optional but how does m work how does the tithe work works very simply it's out of the net income and not the gross income so let's say for example somebody makes $1,000 but they have expenses basic expenses basic living expenses it doesn't necessarily need to be uh you know the uh you know just a uh just uh you know your rent it also includes food includes the basic shelter and so on but it doesn't include your vacation to Bahamas obviously it's not a basic expense you know basic living expenses what you you need to live so let's say you have 1,000 in income 900 in expenses and you have $100 left Hashem told you if you give the $10 that's the M $10 is 10% of the $100 that you have left the real sikim give a 20% that's the highest you can give unless you have millions and millions of dollars and you really don't need the money but nonetheless the real sikim give much higher but if you give 10 you're already doing something that 99% of people are not doing but how do we know that the and has to be proportionate and if not there's a big big problem we have a story from thear the oral Tor the foundation of our Torah about a sadik by the name ofon bonon benon is one of three people according to the thear thear a the tractate of a tells a story abouton benon he was such a righteous person that one day aside from being very generous and financing the uh the am all of am Isel for years for three years along with two other very wealthy Jews he also was a big b and each year there was many Jews would come to Israel to come to uh Jerusalem uh for the uh for the holidays so one year that they had a uh drought he knew that there's going to be thousands and thousands of people coming but there's not going to be enough water so he went to this Arab and he told him listen give me your 12 Wells give me your 12 Wells and I will return you those 12 Wells just as full as you gave them to me and if not if they're not full then I will give you all 12 Wells back full of money full of coins that's how much money he had so the time passed he got to the day first thing in the morning the Arab sends him you know no rain is dropped give me my money he says no no no I told you I'm going to give it to you that day which meant the complete day the day according to Judaism according to the Torah ends at uh at you know at Sun at sundown so the Arabs started laughing at him because what Sundown even if it rains all day it's still not going to reach it you need the rain like the flood to fill it he goes listen I trust my God you don't worry about me I still have a few hours left said okay fine every few hours he kept making fun of him sending people in just give me the money already what are you wasting your time with very short period of amount of time left likeon went into the BET mikdash and prayed to Hashem and he said hem you know that I didn't do this mitvah for my own honor I did it for your honor and for your children and you promised us that when we honor you and your children we're never going to lose immediately as after his prayer was completed a huge amount of rain began to such an extent as no one has ever seen before filled up all 12 Wells to a higher extent than what they had when he got them so thenon sends the Arab a uh the his servant and he says listen give me the change because I gave you a lot more uh water than what you gave me so the Arab says yeah listen only your only the Jewish god could do such a thing but I still have a problem with your God because technically by the time it filled up the water the sun went down which means that I didn't get my money on time so technically you owe me money you still owee me 12 Wells full full of coins so said don't worry he went back into the BET mikash and he says I didn't ask for this I didn't ask for this shom to happen where someone says that you don't deliver this is for your honor immediately hm made a miracle that he only made to two other people before him which is Moses mosenu and Joshua Yeshua benon he moved the clouds and brought back the sun exactly to where it was and literally mov the Sun from its place that's how righteous was to get such a miracle we hope that Hashem just gives us some help to wake up on time he gets the sun back so just to give you an understanding of who ndon was but why do I mention nagon because as much as nagon benon was wealthy as much ason benon was a thear the same gar says later on one day one of the sadim sees a woman picking through the waist of a horse belonging to the Arabs and he asked her what are you doing dear she says I'm looking for I'm looking for some food some wheat to eat with starving he sees our faces and in shock he says what wayte what food what are you talking about your father is noton Ben gulon he's the richest man of the land says no not anymore he lost everything everything to the point where his own daughter had to look through the waist of a horse thear asked why did this happen didn't he give so much didn't he give so much and thear answers yes he gave a lot but according to what he had it was not enough this is where my friends we have to understand that hasem when he said it wasn't just like hey this a patent to make a lot of money he told us something different he told us is not just a nice thing to do I'm giving you a lot not because I just want you to have a lot but also because I need you to give 10% of the 100% that I gave you 10% to one of my children sadim people that are learning toar all day people that are doing K people that are doing the will of hem poor people I need you to help my children I gave you 100% so you give my children 10 but if you're not going to give them the 10 then I don't want to do business with you so I'm just going to take the 90 back and he only leaves you with a 10 and sometimes he leaves you with nothing so this is not a maybe I should do it this is a wakeup call especially when we realize that when each one of us could possibly have unintentional theft unintentional theft and Shalom if we have intentional theft on our hands and we want to get to ganed because we're already doing chv it also helps us to give to give and to be as generous as possible because just in case we stole some money intention unintentionally and we don't know where and we don't know what and we don't know who thisa is what's going to save us so yes there is a chuva for stealing but it means that you have to be more generous than what you typically are if it's easy for you to give $100 that means it's not enough you have to give it a little bit more than what you think is easy it has to hurt a little bit why because that's what's showing that you have in hem and you're saying Hashem doesn't matter how much I give why because you giv me 100% what am I giving a small percentage you're not allowed in Judaism you're not allowed to give to the point where you drive yourself into the poverty into into a poor house you have to be responsible there are certain percentage guidelines and limits of what you're allowed to give but nonetheless you cannot be uh one of these people that makes three $400,000 a year and you're giving $3,000 to the biget and you think you're okay because your uh lifestyle is very expensive and you want to go on six vacations a year everything in proportion make sure that you invest your money wisely inaka in K don't just give it to the uh the Red Cross or one of these nonsensical false uh uh you know organizations that take 99% of every doar you have to their own Pockets make sure that your money is going to its Torah to its mitv to its things that hem cares about not the ones that Satan cares about and not only will this make us all rich materially and spiritually but also allow us to complete our chuva in our days before the mashia comes so when he comes our hands are clean and we're ready but I enjoyed learning with you today look out for these sh they Blockbuster and it's not that I give compliments to myself because I deserve absolutely nothing it's 100% Hashem it's only AEM only was AEM only will be Hashem and it's the only thing that matters in this world thank you and have a good night
