[Music] that a religious person is expected since he looks and represents as if he's an servant of Hashem at all times he works for he's expected to follow suit he's expected oh you looked theart that means yeah you may work for uh forment life yeah you may work for Goldman Sachs yeah you work for I don't know Coca-Cola but in reality that's like your day job your full-time job is so act accordingly so when a person that looks religious acts religious goes to synagogue keeps the holidays builds a Suka does something illegal in business or unethical in business the yet make sure to highlight it much much more in the eyes of the secular people that are looking for an excuse to justify their existing Behavior it's not to say that religious people tend to be uh bigger criminals Shalom than uh the non-religious people the the the opposite is the is the truth uh there are many many more crimes uh per capita and uh in general by non-religious people than there is by religious people but uh needless to say when a uh religious person uh has a Ponzi scheme or some type of uh taking advantage of the poor and the lowly uh where uh let's say uh countless stories of uh Rich religious landlords that refuse to uh fix their buildings and let the people that live in their buildings live in a place that's no different than a rat hole and when people complain say listen you complain get out but they don't have money to go put a down payment on a new house or on a new apartment or even to get rent anywhere else no one's going to approve them they got into this one by mamash Miracle so they're stuck there and this guy knows it and he refuses to fix the sinks and he refuses to fix the walls and anytime somebody goes into the house they don't want to stay there why there's holes in the walls there's a mold everywhere it's completely disgusting but he feels no that's what you get for for the price don't let yourself think that that's true number one don't let yourself think that that's D cuz that's not true you're not allowed to let people live like that Jews or non-jews not allowed to let people live in a in a place that even a rat gets sick in not allowed but unfortunately this happens why because people feel like they have to help a if he's not going to give me the money that I want then I guess I got to help him so I got to take advantage of uh people that can help themselves so that's one of the reasons why you see sometimes the religious criminals get highlighted much more because the yet wants to make sure that all of the people that are not religious all of the secular people use that as an excuse I see you're not going to be you're going to be religious you're going to be like this guy you're even nicer than this guy you're not even religious and it justifies it justifies this horrible cycle of continuing to go against people blame God for a person's mistake loves to highlight these things which causes such a crime in heaven called that there is the the says there is no way to do chuva for it there's no way to fix it until a person dies the sin we have a lot of sins lot of opportunities to mess upat a uh eating non kosher going with a married woman going with a woman that's not your wife the list is endless but every one of these things including murder have a way to do chuva every one of them except is so big that says that when there is you don't even have to pay any consideration to the to the honor of a rabbi which in other places in the Tora it says if you do not have for the like for example last week's one of the reasons says that hm killed them is because they didn't have why they said listen Moshe didn't put the he didn't bring theban right now to hasem so uh you know what we think it's the right thing to do it now who asked you who asked you if it's now or later he's the rabbi you don't go do anything without asking permission from the rabbi you have to go to you have to ask him allowed not allowed is allowed or not allowed for me to go to this party allowed not allowed for me to marry this woman allowed not allowed for me to marry this man you cannot take a step without asking the rabbi but they decided to take it upon themselves says oh you know what happens to somebody does have what I kill him yeah but we were righteous exactly you righteous until you did this so we see in other places in the Tor that hasem gives so much so much power to the sages to the B tah he says that if if you desecrate that name it's like you desecrated mine but if you're going to desecrate mine then there's no consideration for their name there's no consideration for their name the reality is you have to understand is above everything when a person violates desecrates the name of hem there's nothing worse than that so when a person does when a when a Jew cheats in business even more so if he's a religious Jew when that gets exposed as the mishna says someone that desecrates aem's name in B in the hiding behind the scenes nobody knows that he owns that building he owns it under a partnership that owns a partnership that owns a partnership that owns a partnership and nobody really knows who owns any of the Partnerships so he's doing he only shows up for the for the bill for collecting the checks once a month so no one really knows he pretends like he works for somebody he violates aem's name B he lets them lets everybody live in mold inside a sewer but he collects full rent check guess what when hasem punishes them the Mna says he punishes them beala in front of everybody yeah but that's going to desecrate hashem's name no no no it was already desecrating A's name you just didn't know about it yet the desecration of aem's name already happened a few people knew a few people said it already happened let's just make it big deal why I want to show you what I can do hasm says so sometimes people violate aem's name in business and the the Satan the loves loves to expose this to the world because he wants to give all of the non-religious people an excuse to continue wasting their time living a purposeless life and thinking that they have an excuse when they get up to shamain they have a negotiation tactic they say listen Hashem yeah I wanted to be religious but then I saw my Rabbi uh go out with some girl that wasn't religious and he was married like these two guys that I overheard speaking in the supermarket on Friday was a one guy says to the other guy hey how are you hey how are you to the you you're shopping what are you going to do you hear stuff my headphones weren't working to listen to apparently I had to hear this so guy says listen I heard you have a girlfriend yeah yeah I have a girlfriend no I heard she's not Jewish though right no no I got her she's from Colorado really nice girl I took her to the cotel you should see it three 400 people she goes yeah but she's not Jewish goes yeah yeah goes converter why don't you have a convert he goes what convert we took her to some Rabbi then we found out the rabbi we sleeping with some girl I'm going to take her to the rabbi in a generation of such lowly people that pretend to be rabbis but then they take advantage of people like this look what happened this guy may lose hisa because of this stupid Rabbi calls himself a rabbi we expose this why because we want to tell you and anyone that's watching today or whenever this is not the face of Judaism this is not D this is not the Torah this has nothing to do with hem it has to do with has to do with evil people they pretend to represent theem but they don't some people wear a costume once a year the Jews they wear a costume once a year for PIM the go if they celebrate their Christian falsehood they celebrate Halloween full of Abazar so they wear a costume one once a year wears a costume once a year but then there are some people their whole life is one big costume their whole life is one big custom so anytime you see somebody that looks like they're AEM they look like they're a servant of hem they look like a Jew that has a keeper and a beard and everything else but they do something doesn't look right it's illegal it's unethical it's disgusting it's everything in between just remember what I said here this is a custume this a custom that's it don't connect it to a and do not use it as a case for yourself like as if you're going to go up to sh and say noem I wanted to get religious but then I heard about this guy that's not going to help you that's just a test you know sometimes you go to a place where somebody's going to talk in a microphone that testing testing one two three that's it testing one two3 hem is just testing your can you hear me testing testing one two three can you hear me talking I'm showing you this are you going to say this is me or you going to look at the good people and say this is me which one testing testing your is your receptive to good or only to bad are you looking for excuses or you looking for good you're looking for the truth if you're looking for excuses testing one two three check okay that's you you were looking you got it if you were looking for good testing no no sound no sound no sound I need the truth okay sh and sunny is every Sunday night at 9:00 yeah but I'm in uh Jamaica okay so you listen on the internet okay says someone that comes to be look to be purified get closer to says I'll give you a hand I'll send you the internet I'll give you an internet generation where there's so many lowly people and you could still get the truth even if you're in the middle of nowhere [Music]
