[Music] very good to be here another sh in Los Angeles uh thank you for having me some new faces some old faces mostly new faces a lot of people like uh here from Facebook sometimes it's it's good to see the people behind the the actual profile uh the year will be and also raor David Leana Sana and all of have now as I always sayate to people since nothing has to do with me here in it's really all AEM and all about Thea that you guys have uh the the ideal situation is for you guys to ask questions there's no question that's too big there's no question that's too small the Torah is endless and if hasem wants me to know the answer I'll have the answer so if you guys have any specific questions specific sufff you know a doubt that you have uh you know scientific rational philosophical anything and anything please ask now during after whenever the key is for you guys to walk out of here for something if you came here and left the same then I failed you and wasted each other's time it's not good to waste two three hours of each other's time so it's good you guys ask questions most of the time people don't ask questions because they're shy or they can't think of it yet made them forget but hasem doesn't forget and he gives me the answer anyway you get the answer anyway for a question you didn't even know you had but if you have specific questions please ask anyone wants to volunteer before first he had a good question but we didn't record it anyone anything so we just celebrated p and uh all of us had a SED all of us celebrated that we left Egypt all of us celebrated that we hadam we split the ocean split the ocean into 12 all of us ate matah and then all of us came back to work and went back to Egypt again went back to being slaves chasing money chasing a dream trying to be the next Jones trying to be the next Trump trying to be the next big thing in many cases and aspiring to be something that uh is more than what we are financially if only we aspire to be as big spiritually as we do financially mashia would already have come but the reality is the convinces US that money is much more important than Torah he convinces you if you're in tah he convinces you if you're not in Torah now the question is got the T they're called they're called the generation of knowledge meaning they saw things that no one in the history before or after them ever saw they said that during yam when Hashem split the ocean into 12 and the rambam actually wrote you know he had a little drawing of how the ocean was split not like the go think that it was split into two and went from one side to the other like AEM made a a bridge in reality it was a half a circle we went from let's say if let's say this was the uh one side and this was the other side the think that we went from here to here in reality that's not what happened what happened what happened is we started here we went a half a circle and we came back to the same side and it was 12 different splits meaning 12 different tunnels the says 12 different tunnels why one for each tribe so even then we had a little bit of the the yemenites theocc everybody had a little thing okay I want my own I want my own I don't you have your Sho I have my own Sho we had 12 different shoes 12 different tunnels but nonetheless the idea is is that kazal tells that only 20% at the best case scenario 20% of survived Egypt only 20% left Egypt some say it's much worse some say only 1% meaning we had 300 million Jews only 3 million left some say no we had 15 million and 3 million left either way the numbers are horrendous question is why didn't the rest of them not come out why they stay in in Egypt and the answer is because killed him why did he kill them they didn't want to do cha now we have already talked about this a couple of times over the last couple of weeks in shim and we asked this question last night why didn't am want to do CH why want to do CH you saw the Miracles you you saw how destroyed the largest greatest civilization in size and Power in history the Egyptians were collecting taxes is from every single country in the world you know a lot of people think that America is strong because they have weapons America was not even like an employee of Egypt Egypt was collecting taxes from every country in the world Egypt was the PowerHouse of the world but yet Hashem destroyed all of them we saw Miracle after Miracle week after week month after month the biggest civilization in the world went to nothing the slave became the master the master became the slave first first and last time in history such a thing happened so you would think all the people that side what are they going to do start singing all the songs should have come out already 3,000 years ago what do they say we're going to stay here in Egypt go to the desert tell us what happened send me an email send me a text we're not interested in going in the desert so last night we had a sh maybe 20 minut minutes from here [Music] in and uh the question was the same and the answer was one of the one of the options is is that most of thought they didn't have to do CH similar to today why look how much we suffered we've suffered so much we're in Egypt for 210 years we're hard slavery 86 years we've already suffered enough you want us to go to the desert now no my grandfather suffered my father suffered I'm suffering that's enough for AEM so not for H doesn't mean me to go to Desert and suffer more you m you're you're you're you go do it I'm okay where I'm at my father was a rabbi my grandfather wrote a book my great-grandfather was a big everybody's good I'm okay over here in Egypt I don't need to do chuba today every time I go to somebody and tell them listen you know hasem commanded us to shabat commanded us to keep kosher all the different things oh no you know what kind of Rabbi my grandfather was you know my great-grandfather wrote a book you know this one I know this one and I know this one and I went to the sh of this one I said okay all of those people great what about youed everybody what about you though the fact that he wrote a book doesn't help you how do I know what what's my what's my proof there was a guy in history you're never going to believe it this guy M unbelievable he knew the entire Torah he knew but for sure how do I know he knew the Torah his father was his father was G his grandfather was even bigger his brother was the next but in the Torah it says his name was his father was his grandfather was abrah his brother was jaob but in the Tor there's only one person in the entire T that says I hate him and that's says I hate him he didn't say I hate he didn't say I hate that destroyed mikdash he didn't say I hated all the but I hate him why why what did he do he had a long beard and everything what happened how can you hate him AEM knew the truth but he still chose otherwise he knew he has to keep Shabbat he chose not to he knew he has to keep kosher he still wanted to e he knew his wife had to put some clothes on he never said anything to her he told the honey you look good in tights he never said nothing your grandfather being a sad good for him he in G what about you I'm said my grandfather's Abu you're here my grandfather's bigger than you I don't need to do Chua they didn't want to do chuva says you don't want to do chuva I'm not going to take you to mount sa there's only two options you stay here you die you go to mount sa now you live they didn't want to leave they had to die that's the first answer tough harsh but it's reality there's another answer the rashbam says that in seph chapter 6 verse n says comes to he tries to get them to say listen I know it's tough right now I just spoke to Paro he says he's not freeing you and he's also gonna make the conditions worse but don't worry Hashem is gonna free you everything's gonna be okay say am SL they don't want to listen to him they didn't want to listen to him why they were out of breath and they had a lot of hard work so the say what do you mean they had a lot of hard work they were slaves for 100 years already but now it's hard work finally what was the last 100 years it was uh freebie nothing what is this hard work the hard work that they weren't mentioning in the PUK not the was that am was having a hard time what's the hard time the rashbam says they realize that doing chuva is very difficult they said listen you came over here you said do chuva keep shab keep keep this keep this is Gonna Come I did all those things now all of a sudden no P my wife doesn't like me the kids are rebuking me instead of me rebuking them everything is upside down my whole world turned upside down what kind of Chua is this I'm not doing Chua anymore says we started look what gave us we started doing CH we did all of a sudden we get worse life the rasham says as soon as it got difficult says I'm not interested in doing Juba I'm staying in Egypt I'm going to stay a Slave I'm going to stay an idol worshipper I'm going to stay the same I'm not doing anything the reality is the situation has not changed in 3,000 years doing Chu is not easy it's not easy anyone who doesn't know my personal story I brought you guys CDs they're all free it has about 80 hours worth of tah on there includes my personal story the black CD first track talks about why I left Wall Street and decided to do this do K instead of making $3,200 an hour I make zero an hour and it's not because I left with all the money it's because all the money left but something more important arrived it's a very interesting story if youve had crisis in your life business crisis financial crisis marriage crisis into marriage crisis Health crisis life crisis all those crisis all of it is in that story in two years ago the organization kazak hosted me in New York 600 people listening to a lecture and I started off the lecture with the first verse in chapter three of the book of Lamentations I know suffering it's one thing I know I know suffering I'm very good at suffering I had a lot of experience with suffering and the reason why I do what I do is because I'm scared other people going to suffer chasing the same dream that I chased chasing the same falsehood that I chased chasing the same falsehood that has been chasing for 3,000 years the reality is there's nothing new Under the Sun mentions it seven times in a book of Ecclesiastes nothing new nothing changed but yet we continue making the same mistakes why we always think we have a better idea we always think we're going to do it differently Moshe didn't do it but I'm gonna do ITA didn't do it but I'm gonna do it Steve didn't do it but I'm gonna do it my father didn't do it but I'm going to do it I'm always going to do it better Hashem tries to talk to us in different ways one of the most prominent ways is through money and the reason why is because it's part of our day-to-day life like it or not it's part of our day-to-day life you can work on Wall Street you could do kiru you could work sell houses cars whatever you're doing money is part of our life it's a very much of very critical part of our life it's necessary the problem is not money the problem is what we've done with money on the US dollar bill it says in God we trust a very Noble statement in God we trust it's very nice whoever wrote it might have believed in God the reality is most people that are using that bill think that the dollar is God the dollar is who he's talking about that's who we trust and we chase the dollar like it's really God we forget about our wives our kids Our Lives most of all we forget about hem so Hashem tries to talk to us through panasa and many people have panasa problems even if they have millions in the bank they have panasa problems why it's less Millions than the year before it's not growing as fast as it should and so on and so forth a million different stories of why there's everyone in the world there's not a single person that doesn't have P problems Edon Edon whatever the the guy from Las Vegas he has I don't know 50 billion ask him what do you want what blessing do you want for next year he says good not not nothing somebody came to Shalom he gave him a check in the morning he did a sh whatever he gave him a nice check for uh to help his Organization for his call and so on and again says okay ask me for anything ask me for anything and I'll pray for you and again says honestly I really wanted to know what he's gonna ask for because I know the guy has everything he has a100 million no less not a dollar less than $100 million in a bank cash we're not including the real estate and the this and the that and everything else 100 million cash is sitting there getting a suntan he is kids he has wife he has everything he has I honestly wanted to know what is the guy that has everything asked for so I said give me anything you want ask me for anything you want I'll pray for you all year the guy says for please I have everything I just need one thing help with what do you need Char anything anything you want he's thinking maybe he has a disease maybe he's poor guy your disease no money in the world's going to help you Steve Jobs had $6 and5 billion dollars but he couldn't afford a single Liv couldn't afford a single liver he was atheist his whole life now he believes in God 100% only difference is he found out too late though the reality is that money is not going to help you with Satan so he's thinking oh this guy maybe has Satan he has cancer or maybe he has this maybe he has that what does he have the guy says to again he says I just need just a little bit help what that's all multimillionaire for who's really who's really rich says someone that's happy with a sh how do we get to that point how do we get to be happy with our how do we get there got the man every day as I was telling him earlier and whoever overheard they got the month every day why didn't they just get a pill every day or once a year save the whole thing I mean each person had maybe 60 70 kids because made a miracle in Egypt every birth was six kids every birth with six kids and now average family you're going to have get pregnant I don't maybe 10 times there's no birth control in those days they weren't trying to uh save money they weren't uh you know listen we're going to get two dogs in a in a cat and maybe one kid in those days you just have kids so every family had six kids 60 kids by the time you finish giving them breakfast the tractor trailer has to leave to get lunch just for breakfast you need to tractor trailer Hashem says Let me give the MTH every day why don't you just make it easy for everybody this guy wants eggs the other one wants steak the other one wants beans the other one wants candies instead of this whole Bagan just give them one pill they're not hungry for the rest of the year hasem says that's my connection to my sons that's my connection to my daughters if I gave them food once a year I gave them parasa once a year they're only going to pray to me once a year they're only going to talk to me once a year but if I put them in a situation where they don't know what's going to happen tomorrow I gave them food today but I didn't send them a love you note I say Hey listen tomorrow same place same time they don't know if they're going to get mine tomorrow that that means they're going to pray to me they're gonna ask me please please tomorrow but the the rabbi of he says any person that ate today but is even wondering what's going to be tomorrow has no imuna there's no imuna why does he have any he ate today good how do I know I'm going to eat tomorrow he says that's the problem if you already had today you should have realized it's coming from him it didn't come from nothing it didn't just appear at your house it didn't appear your office it came from him if after you ate after you were satisfied with the food you like the taste you it made you full you survived the day and you still didn't get to the conclusion of where it came from you have a lot of problems your your problem is not your diet your problem is youra you're not realizing where it's coming from you're thinking it's you you're thinking you're the one that made the money to buy the food to pick the steak to put the sauce on it and take a bite you got everything but you missed the whole point an old business friend of mine we were doing an analysis we were on on the board of some company and this woman this was the CEO of the company was telling us about all the different problems that the company had and she wants to do this and she wants to do this this three hours of speech of different things different goals and aspirations that she had and he summarized the whole thing of what he said in a single sentence very brilliant he says you have the right amount of worry but but you're worried about the wrong thing the amount of worry you have is good it's just misplaced if let's say there's from zero to 100 level of worry you have a 100 that's the amount you're supposed to have 100 level of worry the problem is you're wasting it on something that's completely meaningless it's supposed to be something else it's no different from us we're constantly looking for ways to help God I'm going to open another business so I can help God give me more I'm going to donate to the besset that already has more than enough seats and locations and things and I'm going to donate another T they already have 15 in the closet I'm going to donate another one that's going to help my P I'm going to do this but I'm going to do that I'm going to do that we keep doing things because we think that this is going to be a c people sometimes say listen I'm going to put a string put a red string on my hand that's going to help something some woman said she had a lot of problem she went to this fake Bubba in Brooklyn and he told her listen buy this book it'll solve all your problems she comes to my friend AR zitron in New York she says ever since I bought this book my my problems magnified became much worse much worse he says what does the book say she goes I have no idea go why not go I don't know it's in a different language he opens the book it's a language only people that are I know how to read he says you know how to read this goes no she goes why'd you buy it I know he said it's $155,000 going to help me he says to say did he tell you anything about Shabbat she said no he tell you anything about modesty she says no tell you anything about kosher anything goes no he said the only thing I need to is buy this book he say oh okay this book is not going to help you the other things are going to help you all of them are free we keep looking for shortcuts it's not going to work now when it comes to when it comes to having tells us there are many different things that we need to do there many things that we can can help one example is there's a that if you wash your hands wash your hands a lot of people like to go through it very quickly like they're doing God of favor they take the little Nan they and they put the bread they eat in two seconds this is bad for why you want shef you want wealth you want a lot you're doing something that's the opposite you're short changing what Hashem gave you Hashem told you use water to wash your hands you're like giving drops of water you barely missed your hand sometimes you're looking at the guy talking to him you missed your hand you you put it on your leg but say ah it's okay it's enough as if the whole mitvah turned into this whole balagan where it became like as if you're doing God a favor the reality is this is one thing one cabalistic secret of if you actually want P something to helpa you actually pour a lot of water and you sometimes you'll see the certain people that know this and you'll see that they pour the whole thing one the whole thing again two the whole thing again three these people are greedy they want a lot of money but is this one simple thing another thing that's even bigger meaning the point is be generous with the water and have focus and don't talk have Focus don't talk and be generous with the water second thing is people always have enough time to eat a seven course meal three hours they never have time for you ever noticed that they have time to eat for three hours but they have time to bless hem eat yeah give me another one the dessert the dessert friend oh you're not going to eat that oh give me that too to eat we have time to thank hasem for the food we don't have time is there a shorter version how many times have you heard this question there a shorter version of the is this really is this really Mo or is how many times you see a guy eating pizza like his head but is this a it's not the pizza is the size of his head but he said maybe it's only one one simple by the way to actually have a pizza that's M it doesn't only have to do with what how what the makeup is it also has to do with how much you're eating if you're eating half the pie it's not mot anymore if you're eating two slices it's not Mes in reality anyone that knows the Al and knows the stringency of if you're eating even one slice you should do but anyway the point is is that is actually the most important blessing in the entire time it's actually more important than it's more important than how do I know because it's the only blessing in the entire Tor that it actually says it literally in the Tora that you have to do it you ate you were satiated bless there's no thing in the Torah that says go do we know you're supposed to do it from the oral to but there's no literal thing literal instructions in the Tor says do twice a day there's no literal instruction it says go do three times a day you're supposed to do it it's part of our oral T but it's actually not as literal as meaning that the says that every single time you enjoy food or really anything in this world without blessing AEM you are considered 100% a thief a thief no no more no less 100% a thief and thief from who you stole from him if you steal from me it's not no nice it's not nice you steal from the Bal it's not nice they'll probably beat you up but if you steal from somebody else not nice but maybe you're going to get away with it you steal from the government you're going to get away with it they steal from themselves they get away with it a few years ago Donald Rumsfeld the former Secretary of Defense told the government listen there's $2.3 trillion that we have no idea where it went you know what $2.3 trillion is 2.3 it's a trillion is a thousand billion a trillion is a, billion so $2.3 trillion dollar went missing like like a cat climbed a tree never came down just disappeared this was in one year it's not like historical just one year they lost it went po gone sometimes also goes gone the food went gone B also went gone we ate the bat soem says you ate you satiated say thank you it's minimal minimal minimal stuff you don't do it you're a thief now what does hasem do with thieves he's going to give the more a gives him gives him punishment instead ofstead upon they get Onish now sometimes you'll see people do eat three hours the is 47 seconds they they swallow all of the words they barely know what they're saying they're in the middle of a conversation they stop they look they this listen it takes three four five minutes 10 minutes max if you're a slow reader after a while while you become a fast reader if you read it enough times read talk to everybody after focus on the rest of the world after you ate three hours with 100% Focus bless three minutes with 100% Focus if you don't it kills these are two easy ones remember I told you we do CH first when you do do the easy one grab the easy ones you can't miss out on the easy ones you miss out on the easy ones like the easy money it's the Apple that fell off the tree it that's the first one you grab you don't go to the one on top of the tree what you're hero you're Superman you go the one that already fell grab that put it in the basket it's the easy ones easy now we get to the hard one the hard one is Shabbat I'm assuming most people if not everyone here keep Shabbat or at least they think they keep Shabbat but the reality is is that most people don't really know the full spectrum of what Shabbat really means and you don't need to believe me just go to B on Shabbat and just listen to what people talk about forget about how they pray Shabbat it says after a person dies he goes to goes to Sham there's a trial just like here there's a trial there's a trial in sham they ask him a few questions first question they ask him first out of all the questions they ask him did you conduct your business with first question all the questions you can ask you can ask the guy is he nice did he learn T is he big is he small is he this no did you conduct your business with why you conduct your business with what they don't know why don't they ask did you go to why don't they ask him did you pray every day late every day I mean they know the answer to everything anyway why you even bother asking they're not going to ask you how you were in AET because inet especially on you can't tell the difference everyone looks MAV everyone looks like a sadik they have the talit sometimes they have everybody looks like a sadik he gets an Aliah sometimes the guy does the blessing like he just came back from Mount sa he tells the whole world he's doing a blessing see those people the guy first blessing of the week he's doing an apple relax guy just an apple relax is everyone in your blessing this loud everyone needs to know you're eating an apple that's how you do all the time or just the whole G just for me the whole show is just for me I don't need the showtime the guy is doing such a loud blessing in he wants everyone to know he's laying he wants everyone to know he's puttingal on so the gar says we're not even going to ask him how he was in AET why it's all a show anyway everyone looks like mosenu in a b we want to ask him how was he in his business why because business is when the real face shows up if you're a thief in business you're a thief everywhere else if you're honest in business you're honest everywhere else if you hadai in your business you didn't steal if you had NOA everything else went wrong you stole you cheated you did this you violated Shabbat everything else fails when you have no in business why think about it this way a guy that Hasa that means he knows that the Torah says AEM decided how much P you're going to get and R sh he says David's going to get x amount of millions this year Tor says he decides on doesn't matter if he works seven days a week or he works six days a week or a day a week or he doesn't work at all he's going to get this P that's Tora says you believe in the Tora that's what you have to believe if you don't believe this you're that's according to T if you think that you're the one making the P it's not AEM you have a serious problem with AEM so now Tora says hasem decided how much P you gonna get hem decided already but we want to help hem I'm GNA help him because I'm going to do start a new business I'm GNA help him I'm G to buy another building I'm gonna help him going to get another house I'm G to expand the house I'm going to do this I'm gon to do this we're going to help a with all these different things fine no problem you want to do is no problem there's nothing wrong with is the problem is when the loot becomes obsessive to such an extent that you forgot that it's hasem giving you the money all along and you're thinking that you're the one that's doing it with your ideas and your product and your marketing and your hard work and your this and your that and now we have a problem why because now you have no imuna now what happens when a person has no imuna he starts cheating first he starts cheating the easy fish who is it usually the government starts cheating on taxes little little extra right off here a little extra right off there that doesn't really little extra this a little extra this ah they're not going to know they lost 2.3 trillion million trillion dollars think they're going to find my million they're too busy looking for theirs you cheat a little bit here okay but said government is one victim now he say listen this vendor that's sending me $100,000 a month in Goods I'm his whole business we're going to have to renegotiate now you're going to say listen I know I'm paying you like clockwork every month 100,000 it's not really working for me I need 90 days from now on you're going to carry my debt for 90 days meaning I'm always going to be 300,000 behind why no reason simply because you can what is the guy gonna do M what is the guy gonna do he say no I don't want your business anymore you need your money you're not allowed to do such things you're not allowed to force people put pressure on them for no reason now it got to a point where actually something happened and now you actually missed the payment 90 days pass you don't have the money say listen I don't have the money guy says what am I going to do cut the business now now he gives you six months now it's even worse they said listen I owe you 600,000 I don't have 600,000 but listen if you want 600,000 I'm closing shop I'm going to go somewhere else or if you want we could settle for a quarter million or if you want I could just declare bankruptcy you get nothing cu the American bankruptcy system allows you to just take advantage of people for no reason and declare bankruptcy and do what you want now you're allowed to declare bankruptcy if you have no choice but if you really have the money you're not allowed to declare bankruptcy according to the tah so now you actually to you declare bankruptcy without being allowed to do so and you stole $300,000 from this guy me SC so that's just a vendor then you have sometimes you have people don't like to pay their employees on time we Scar the guy worked five six days the whole week he hasn't seen his family he hasn't seen his kids even his dog is sending him emails when are you going to come home I need to eat and the guy comes for a paycheck he's like listen I'll pay you Monday I'm busy I can't pay you today I'll pay you Monday you delay the payment by a couple of days you're going to pay him but delayed unnecessarily It's a Sin from a Tor it's like eating pig it's no different it's no different than eating pig but for every second now you pig it's only one sin now you delayed the guy for a few days every single minute that goes by and he's suffering because you didn't pay him on time it's more sins in your account it's more Pig in your account why you have NOA in your business you started cheating on the big ones small ones everybody starts get cheating and the lad gets bigger and longer and problem grows bigger and bigger and that's why thear says we first ask him if he conducted his business with emuna because if he conducted his business witha then we know the rest of his life is going a certain path if his business has no we know it's a completely different path it's a different chart altogether now all of these things are problems between us and people A guy stole from his friend his vendor his supplier his uh official whatever it is is mortgage company the problem is is that when a person goes against his friend it's only a matter of time before he gets goes against God too it's only a matter of time before he goes against God too this is why there's a certain list of people that hem says I hate them and then there's also a few others one of them is someone that's someone that's an ungrateful person you give him you do him a favor and he not only doesn't say thank you he returns back to you someone AEM says I hate such people now when a person is a against his friend it's only a matter of time before he's a against hem AEM gave him the p and now the guy says listen it wasn't enough now I have to work I have to help out AEM I'm going to help out AEM I can't buy a new business I can't do this I can't do this what can I do I can work more when on Shabbat now I'm going to work on Shabbat now obviously if I go if I go to B and I can't go to can't work in the office on Shabbat so what happens people start talking business on Shabbat so you go to besset and instead of talking about the all the things that we're supposed to do what do you see so which building are you buying yeah yeah I bought that one I'm going to do Remodeling on Tuesday and the kitchen on Wednesday and this and everybody starts talking about their plans for the week oh yeah did you buy Bitcoin do you buy schmitcoin did you buy the stock did you buy this did you buy the diamond did you buy people start talking shop this is what 100% Shabbat it's 100% violating Shabbat they say well I'm not actually working liar you're working in today's world most business is simply talking most people don't actually do manual labor anymore they don't build houses they have employees it's say Hey listen Steve build a house here 5,000 is 10,000 there a million whatever it is build a house so the guy that buil a house he worked but the guy that told him also build a house he also worked he wrote a check and he told them that's work if you're telling listen I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I'm going to do this on Monday Tuesday Wednesday I'm going to buy the stock I'm going to sell the stock I'm G to buy the property I'm going to sell the property I'm GNA fire this one I'm gonna hire that one what is that it's 100% what you're going to do on Monday anyway it's work this is why most people that think that they're keeping Shabbat in reality he not keeping Shabbat they're going to go up to sh oh his Steve Shabbat what do you mean I went to sh I was keeping Shabbat seven years no that's seven years you talk about business every Shabbat now this is for people that are already keeping Shabbat or at least they think they are now there's another side of people that are simply not keeping it all like I didn't for most of my life and the reason why anyone that doesn't keep Shabbat doesn't keep Shabbat is because we're convinced that it's an elective meaning if you want to keep Shabbat good for you if you don't want to good for you too Live and Let Live am I telling you to do something no don't tell me what to do either who are you to tell me what to do well if I want to keep Shabbat I don't need you to tell me sometimes people tell me this I want to keep I'll do it myself this means that this person thinks that it's an option now most people you tell them do you think you have free will I tell you of course that's that's how you know even if I'm assuming people believe in God if they don't believe in God we have a different lecture for them it's a aoo usually with the monkey the monkey's going to convince them you didn't come for me I already know there's God the monkey know there's a God you didn't come for me so now the point is a person that believes in God he's a Jew he's lucky enough to be one he says listen I believe in God but I believe in my own way that was my belief most of my life I believed in God but in my own way I didn't work on Shabbat but instead I did some other things that's because I thought that I had free choice free choice means I could do whatever I want but T says everything is from except what does it mean everything is from sham except sh whether you're tall short Rich poor male female alive dead anything and everything that's from sham that's from hasem meaning even to choose whether you live or die is not your choice Hashem will decide there was a guy that thought that he could decide from s so he decided to jump off of the bridge in San Francisco the Golden Gate Bridge he jumped from the bridge a few years ago apparently this is a bridge a lot of people jump off of two people survived in history he was one of them he was one of the people that survived and he tells the story there a short video I saw he tells a story young guy maybe 20s he says my life was this my life was that suicidal but the second my feet left the bridge I regretted jumping the second I left all of those problems that caused me to jump became meaningless I regretted jumping because I realized that all of those problems are temporary jumping is permanent apparently that was enough cha forem to save him to and he was one of literally two people that survived in history to tell the story meaning that even to live or die is not really our choice on the other hand fear of hem that's a choice what does it mean fear of hem that's a choice whether you're going to listen to what Hashem says or not that's your choice whether you're going to keep Shabbat or not that's your choice whether you gonna eat kosher or not that's your choice whether you're going to be modest or not that's your choice whether you're going to f fulfill the Torah that is your choice what's going to happen the outcome not your choice how much money you're going to have if you're going to get married if you're going to have kids how long you're going to live whether you're going to wear all of those different things everything changes so now hasem says you don't really have free choice you have Choice the difference free Choice means I could do whatever I want there's no consequences choice is free there's no consequences if I go to work I get paid if I don't go to work nothing happens that's what we believe we have Hashem says no we have 13 principles of faith that every Jew is obligated to believe or else their Judaism is on suspension one of them is that Hashem rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked meaning if I go to work I get paid I get rewarded I'm a sadik if I don't go to work I'm a rash what's a rash gets punished meaning Hashem sends people to beat him up instead of getting paid it's not that he doesn't get paid now he gets paid a punishment so now the issue of Shabbat is no longer a choice now what's the best proof what's the best proof of this the first M Shabbat in history anyone know who the first in history was in in the Book of Numbers chapter 15 verse 32 it says says the children of Israel were were in a desert they were in the wilderness and they found a man Gathering wood on Shabbat when was this when was this this was one week after we got to Torah we got Mount saai the climax of creation we got the toora a week later this happened meaning that at this point I mean to is big 30485 letters big Torah Five Books of Moses big lot of MIT hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of different details you would say that even if someone's a genius a week is not enough time to read the whole thing even shabat I mean it's books and books you need to know how to keep Shabbat most people don't even know how to eat pistachios on Shabbat bit I'm not joking I'm not trying to to be uhit most people don't know how to eat pistachios I had a guy I was talking about Shabbat in one of the lectures like ah I have nothing to worry about I said why he says oh I keep Shabbat already seven years I said how often you learn to he go once twice a week I said you definitely don't keep Shabbat no no no I just said I keep Shabbat seven years I said you definitely do not keep Shabbat go well you're in my house I said no you're a prophet he says no I said but one thing I know for sure he definitely don't keep Shabbat he go how do you know say someone doesn't learn T cannot keep Shabbat it's not possible why you don't know how you don't know how someone doesn't know how to invest in a stock market can there's no way for them to make money in the market why they don't know how to press the buttons they don't know what to buy they don't know what selling is they don't know anything someone doesn't no business there's no way for them to make money they don't know what to do they go into a store they think it's theirs it's really they don't know they customer meaning you need to know the instructions what to do if you're not learning to there's no way you know how to keep Shabbat no no I know what do you do you have K you have this I said how about this I'll prove it to you I says you eat pistachios he says yes I said you're perfect example how do you e pistachios on shabat why there's a certain weight to eat pach on Shabbat I said yes how do you paches on Shabbat go what do you mean I said me don't give me the example how your pistachios he says okay I take the peel I open the peel I atat the pistachio I throw it in the garbage or I throw it in a bowl he goes usually actually I have a bowl I take the pistachios out of the bowl I eat the pistachio and then I throw the pistachio the peel on the other side say why what's wrong with my pistachios it says it's called B you're not allowed to separate the good from the bad if you took the pistachio and you ate the whole thing it's one thing but no one eats the peel but now you took the bad the peel and you put it in a different side you separated it and you ate the good you've separated the two you're not allowed to do such a thing so how do you eat pistachios said you have to have good pistachios on both sides on both bowls both Bowls have to have good pistachios obviously you don't want to throw out a lot of pistachios you could even have one or two good pistachios in the waist Bowl where you put the peel so now you're not really separating good from bad because both are considered good I said does that prove my point that you're not keeping Shabbat for seven years if you don't know how to eat pistachios on how do you think you're doing the rest of the why because you go toet a donkey could also go toet doesn't make it doesn't mean keep Shabbat you train a monkey to go to keep Shabbat what does that mean go is the Shabbat if you don't know how to keep Shabbat you have a problem it's the foundation of Judaism now the wanted to prove a point he says a week ago we got the Torah says who is he his name is his name is he says I wanted to prove a point I wanted to show is forever hashem's not kidding he gave us a week ago we didn't even have enough time to read the whole thing I'm going to violate Shabbat let's see what he does so saw the he saw this Gathering wood so some say what was the what did he do what was the actual violation some say that he did the same thing he separated the good from the bad others say no he carried from public to private you're not allowed to carry on Shabbat unless there's an there a m there's a debate of what was the actual sin itself nonetheless the punishment Remains the Same so they say they saw this guy they arrested him they brought him to mosenu we found this person Gathering wood they brought him to Moshe andon and they placed him in custody they put him in jail why they put him in jail according to the Tor someone says they kill him so why they put him in jail says because it had not been clarified what we should do with him so mosu comes to hasem and he says hem what should I do hasem says to Moshe the next verse The man shall be put to death the entire assembly millions of people should Pelt them with stones outside of the camp me meaning this is the worst type of death penalty there is not to give you too much details but just to give you an understanding first they throw stoning there's four different types of death penalty stoning they throw him off of a two-story building after that there's a boulder that's thrown after him to crush him and just in case he's still alive there's a bunch of people that throw stones on him until he dies vicious is an understatement to say this is what this guy did and this is what he got for it hasem says make sure you kill him with the worst possible death penalty in front of everyone in front of millions and millions of people and I asked a question to my love I said listen they just got the Torah a week before you I even have enough time to read the whole thing if there was ever a time for there to be leeway ah he didn't have enough time to read this one Al he didn't have enough time to know something you know if there was ever a time where said ah don't worry about it let this guy pass let this guy pass this would be it my says exactly if Hashem didn't let it go after we only had a week to learn T what makes you think he's going to let it go after we had 3,330 years if he didn't let it go a week later what makes you think he's going to let it go 3,000 years later when you're talking about your real estate on Shabbat when you're talking about your stock market on Shabbat when you're not even you don't even know how to keep the laws of Shabbat what makes you think he's going to let it go violating Shabbat thear says that someone that violates Shabbat it's like as if he's running in the middle of the street screaming to Hashem hey I don't believe you created the world in six days and rested on the seventh it's going to war with AEM does anyone still think it's an option does anyone still think ah it's not such a big deal I used to and then I realize it's a big deal and then I realize it's a very big deal and you have to start learning Shabbat the good news about Shabbat is the biggest gah of all Hashem says that's the biggest Gul for everything it's the biggest G for chv it's the biggest G for it's the biggest G for everything why that's the foundation of the connection between me and you if there's something wrong in your life there's usually something wrong in your Shabbat too if there's something wrong in your life there's usually something wrong with your Shabbat you sleep too much you eat too much you do a lot of the on part but none of the Shabbat part we eat like we've never eaten before but we forget that we're supposed to learn T Shabbat too oh no but I heard this year from the rabbi for 15 minutes that's not learning Shalom would not sleep on Shabbat at all they asked him for how come you don't sleep on Shabbat he looked at me because you think I'm going to miss out an opportunity on learning to on the most important day to learn to of the entire year goes yeah but you always have next week goes who tells you that who told you have next week what makes you think you're going to survive next week I have a cousin I didn't know him 23 or 26 years old a year ago second day of he fell off of a scooter he hurt his head he went to the hospital they said everything is fine he believed him he went home he went to sleep and he never woke up do you think that he thought that he was going to finish his journey on Earth at 20 26 do you think his family that has more money than they can count thought that he's going to finish his journey at 26 with the amount of money they had they thought they could cure cancer but they couldn't even save him why God decides who lives or dies most of us have issues in our life most of us are looking for shortcuts we think that if we put a red that's going to fix something we think that if we give the homeless guy five bucks that's going to do something yes it's all good things the string is fake by the way but other things are good there are good things there are real things that you can do but the reality is every single Prophet we've ever had from the beginning of time until the end of Prophecy said the same exact thing all of the N all of the tests you have in your life all of the problems you have in your life everything is hasem talking to you and saying my son my daughter it's time for you to do Chua what do you mean Chua I go to all day good for you it's time to do Chua now what do you mean Chua I donated a million dollars to the good it's time to do chuva what do you mean chuva I I pray five times a day like the Arabs good now it's time to do chuva chuva is not just doing one or two or three MIT you like CH is a lifestyle CH is a life just like AEM thinks about you 24 hours a day seven days a week with no break you're supposed to think about him too if you only think about him when you're in AET if you only think about him once in a while that already shows you there's a missing link here if you started keeping mitv but the character traits stay the same you're still an angry little Gremlin you're still cheap and think that you have to make sure that you survive on one sandwich the whole week you're scared to you're scared to go to the bathroom because then you have to buy another sandwich some people are so cheap they don't want to eat some people are you know M it's a disease some people have such bad character traits they actually think that they're helping God their arrogance and so so big they think that God they're God's Little Helper if your midot if your character traits haven't changed you haven't begun to do Chua is very difficult fixing our character tra is very difficult that's Chua that's what has been commanded to do from day one hasem says the Torah I gave you meet I can get the monkeys to do the monkeys can do the mitv so what's the point of the mitv to fix you to fix you to make you a benadam to make you a better human being sometimes you see the people with the uniform they have the Hat they have the beard they have every the whole thing but you see the guy is work acting worse than uh the worst of the worst why because it's just a costume now of course the exterior is supposed to match the interior but the reality is that CH is not just keeping going to B CH is not just giving some money CH is not just saying here and there CH is making it your life what does it mean to make it your life is anybody here jealous of the Arabs if you're jealous of the Arabs don't don't be don't be ashamed raise your head I am why am I jealous of the Arabs in the Book of Daniel hasem tells the in a dream that Daniel gives them the Insight of what it means that at the end of days before mashia comes the Arabs are going to run the world the Arabs are going to actually take over for n months look how much problems they're doing without it imagine under their control and they are going to be punished worse than anyone else even worse than the Christians that have been torturing us for 2,000 years this peace we have with Christians right now is relatively new before this they've been killing us for 2,000 years now they're just pretending to be us they call it Messianic Judaism it's Christians but they're really they call themselves Jews or Jews for Jesus Christians just uh with a custume first time in history by the way that the Christians are pretending to be Jews for 2,000 years they were focused on killing Jews now they're pretending to be them why it's better recruiting tool it's more politically correct but the reality is that the prophet says the Arab will get punished worse why is the Arab going to be punished worse because he used the name of God to punish God's children he said allahar to go kill a Jew he actually made it as if it's a Mitzvah to go kill Jews he says he deserves a worse punishment than all so why am I right mind would I ever tell anyone that I'm jealous of the Arabs I'm not jealous of them per se I'm jealous of their passion now an average Jew that keeps some he goes on a flight some trip that he has to he has to go to the airport really early so he has doesn't have time to go to B so what does he do he prays at the airport I'm sure everybody has been in the airport has seen early in the morning he saw Jews prayer at the airp where do they pray in the corner where no one sees always he's in the corner next to the wall make sure you're not disturbing anyone no one's looking at you you're not looking at anyone else you're look in the corner the Arab where is the Arab prey five times a day in the middle of Broadway in moving traffic you go to New York you go you can see this on the internet if you want every single day they stop traffic thousands of them in the middle of Broadway in New York they stop traffic they pray on their magic carpets in the middle of the street they all praying five times a day in the middle of the street they don't care about the cars they don't care about the traffic they don't care about anything they don't care about what you think a Jew you tell him listen you want to go out to one of his non-jewish friends tells him you want to go out to eat yeah sure I want to go out to eat okay we're going to go to this Italian restaurant Jews ah no eat kosher but he doesn't really feel like I'm tell kosher I'm go you have sh when you have a kosher steakhouse the Italian doesn't understand kosher Steak House I tell listen eat eat kosher food he's going to tell you what's kosher food ah it's a certain it's kosher it's for Jew goes don't worry when you bless it I'll bless it for you I'll bless the food for you that's what my non-jewish friends used to tell me why you want to eat I'll bless you the food I'll bless the food for you something it's good no eat cheeseburger they don't know the differ friend so the Jew he's not going to tell his Italian colleague I have to go to a Jewish restaurant what he going to do he's going to come with an excuse oh you know what I have an appointment I forgot I got an appointment I got to call my wife are you're not married yeah the wife I don't have I have to call her I need to get a wife that's why I have to call somebody he's coming up with excuses and he's stuttering he doesn't know what to do what does the Arab do Arab puts kalal on all of his shops as he sells food the Arab tells you know come come Jew Christian whatever come come eat why the Arabs proud the Arab is so proud that doing what they call dawa which but in in Judaism it's called K getting people to do chuv in their world it's called da it's actually become the most critical part of their religion to such an extent that even the guy that sells food at the kiosks he gives people CDs and stickers and books and so on to his customers why make them Muslim us we're embarrassed to be Jews that's why I'm jealous I'm jealous because the ones that have falsehood are so proud of their falsehood you would think it's real and us that have the truth we're so embarrassed and ashamed we pray in the corner just to make sure we don't disturb anyone that's what I'm jealous of chv means you're so connected and glued to hem you bleed Torah you bleed Judaism when someone says you want to eat you tell them yes there's a kosher restaurant we can go to when you go to the airport and you're going to pray pray in front of everyone anyone looks at you finally says oh don't worry this is what the mhia is going to look like it's just a preview when you see someone that's violating Shabbat say something why you're saving the you're saving the Shalom says the biggest that he's ever seen still exists in his day and even more so today now all of us we all talk about how the destruction of the BET mikdash was due to baseless hatred pretty much hating each other for no reason I hate him because he's Moroccan he hates me because I'm from Tripoli we hate the other guy cuz he's from Yemen everyone hates the ashkanazi because he's from ashkenaz and this and that we hate each other for no reason the guy didn't do anything but we hate him but he's a Jew yeah yeah we hate him that's why but you're a Jew too exactly if you don't hate you're not a Jew we hate for no reason 2,000 years we've been thinking that's the real hate says wrong that's not the real hate that's not the real Mor and asazi and all this stuff it exists but that's not what is baseless hatred is when one Jew sees another sinning and doesn't say anything if you see another Jew driving on Shabbat you see another Jew smoking on Shabbat you see another Jew doesn't keep family Purity any and you don't say anything you hate him you hate her why because you understand the consequence Hashem said to mosu m we just got the Torah last week this guy violated Shabbat kill him in front of everyone I wasn't kidding when I said mum there's no leeway there's no no leniency not a week later not 3,000 years later you drive on shabat mum what does MUM mean no this world no next World now there's plenty of people driving Ferraris on Shabbat what do we say about them at the the end of says I pay my haters cast to their face to destroy them sometimes a person can make so many sins to the point where AEM says he only has one punishment left in this world the rest of it I'm reserving for the next World what's the one punishment in this world he's not going to be able to do chuba no chuba for him the rambam says that's the worst punishment a person can get in this world hasem decides no Chua him he's not even going to think about chuba why I'm going to give him so much stuff he's going to be too busy with it too busy with the wife with the kids with the millions with the billions with the news with the papers with the this with the that he's so busy running his stuff is no time to think about what's the purpose of life why why did I come to this world why did I come to this world and someone whoever put me in this world make me a Jew I mean there's 8 billion people in the world what are the chances of being a Jew do you ever think about that do you ever think how special you are there are 8 billion people in the world now in reality there's really not 8 billion people in the world it's like 7.92 or 7.93 billion meaning that they round off 70 80 million meaning that the 20 million Jews we have in the world that we know about is not even a rounding error and you happen to be one of them to make matters even more intricate out of the 20 million Jews only about three million keep Shabbat three million out of 8 billion that's not really 8 billion actually keep Shabbat 3 million fulfill the Torah at least to some extent where hem doesn't punish him like three million have if everything else goes well until the rest do you happen to be one of them do you know what the chances of that is go home do the math actually go through the process and realize how special you are the chances of you being a Jew is already a statistical anomaly for you to be a Jew that actually keeps Shabbat you can't even calculate if you're not proud of that what else is there to live for what are you going to be proud of the next building you built who cares someone will destroy it one day the next company you built who cares someone will buy it and bankrupt it one day anyway that's what happens to all businesses you succeed you succeed you succeed assuming you succeed some bigger company buys it then destroys whatever you build and starts something new they just take the patents or whatever they actually like out of it your baby is meaningless to them so what are you going to be proud of your kids they're going to move away one day and have their own lives and have their own thing what else is there to be proud of in this world if it's not to be a Jew not to be you not to be a servant of H if you're not the guy that's screaming mashia mashia mashia and to everybody in the airport tell them yeah this is what mashia is going to look like with the on if you're not the first guy at the you're not the first guy at the you're not the first guy jumping and running after that means you don't know what it means to be a Jew if you're still having like a out before you tell your friends to go to a kosher restaurant before you tell your friends that you're not willing to date such and such because she doesn't wear any clothes if you're not the first guy to run after the next the next mitah the next thing to do for the that's the will of hem that means you don't know what it means to be a Jew it's time to find out start with a calculator look at the chances M look at the actual chances what are the chances of you being one of them once you know how rare it is automatically you realize how special it is the only reason anything is valuable in this world is because it's supposed to be rare even though they fool the system like for example diamonds diamonds for a long time people thought were rare and they were rare for a long time but it was artificially rare because the beers took control of the market and they only gave a certain parts of the market and they limited the supply everyone that's in the jewelry business knows this but no one cares no one cares people still think there's a perception same thing with stocks people think that if you don't buy Microsoft today it's going to go bad like milk no you could buy it tomorrow you could buy it the next day nothing's going to happen it may be more expensive it may be cheaper but the guy that's selling you Microsoft or Google or Facebook or whatever stock that he's trying to sell you he's he's trying to put urgency into you how do I know I did it for 16 years you have to buy today why cuz today I made commission tomorrow who knows what's going to happen tomorrow tomorrow I may go on vacation already I need to make money today which means you need to send it today there's urgency today today today you need to buy the tractor today you need to buy the building today you need to buy the engagement ring even without the girl be ready find a Middle Street no mared no here ring you're finished be ready today you have to buy it how come we're not like that without abuu Abu was given a mitvah by hasem says go take your son and make him aan what does it say a woke up early in the morning and took his son to become a now never told abrah go do it tomorrow he said go do it meaning that Abraham could have technically used his logic like we do he said listen Hashem never said when what he did say is that all my descendants are going to come from so obviously it's a it's a needless to say that the children have to come from so that means that at the very least have to marry him to somebody he has to have a few Kings kids cuz it can't be just one what if the kid dies what if the kid can't have kids so you has to have a few kids and a few kids have to get married once I know they've all been married and they had kids and they all got married and they all had kids and everybody got married every had kids is 137 years old then I can make him a k logically he's right meaning he could have enjoyed for at least another hundred years what did abah ainu do next morning next morning first in the morning woke up at 3:30 in the morning I'm going to fulfill a Mitzvah why hasem said so yeah but he didn't say precise doesn't make a difference he said it I'm doing it now as soon as possible why I don't know if I'm going to lift the seat tomorrow urgency today now right now I have an opportunity to do mitvah who said I'm going to be here tomorrow to do the same mitvah who says I'm going to be here tomorrow to do the same people tell me all the time oh listen yo I love what you do we do CU this all great listen I got this deal going on as soon as I finish the deal I'm definitely going to contribute I said don't worry you don't have to contribute at all once you finish the deal you just give whatever you have now no no it's going to be a lot more once I finish the deal I said I don't want a lot more whatever you have now is good too and they never understand it but the reality is is that I know it's a joke for me why because I know they're not going to give now they're not going to give later either why that's just the way it is yet is playing him now to make him think that once I have more then I'll give more once they have more they say no listen I have more now but that means I can make more if I can make more then I can give more later and I they keep delaying delaying delay lay and never happens now it says in many places most Jews know this said it originally will save you from death now there was a person they used to donate to Shalom every year he would donate a BMW now wasn't exactly a big driver but he donated the car and he would give it to his family BMW in Israel is very expensive so everyone thought this guy's very generous wow he's donating I don't know it's like a million shekels cars over there it's like five six times the price is here you have to be a millionaire just to write a little tus but anyway he donated a BMW every year you know what happened to the guy one day one day he was on a chopper with some other members of his family and a chopper crashed and everyone died so everyone asked didn't they say that that charity will save you from death this guy died in the worst possible death what's the answer what he was giving was not considered giving a Rya a BMW once he's already a Rya it's notak it's a present there's no verse in the Torah that says that present save you from death giving a five bucks a 100 Buck a thousand whatever it is before he becomes a when he's a simple that no one ever heard of helping him that's the but it's not as much Fame it's not as much for it's not it's not as good it's not as popular no one's going to know I'm going to donate if it's not doesn't say my name on it so there's a in that says that gave a lot of but one day they saw his daughter looking through the waist of the donkeys for food he said how could it be your father was so rich she says yes he used to be rich goes but but he gave a lot of staka doesn't say that staka will save it the daughter says he gave a lot of staka but according to his level it wasn't enough so the Mah gives a he says it wasn't that it wasn't enough per se quantity he gave the 10% or the 20% you're supposed to give that wasn't the problem the quantity man he was a big sadik as far as his deeds and everything else everywhere else he was very good he's one of the only people in history where hasem stopped the son for him in the middle of the sky not just an average Joe so obviously he knew that he had to give M or even 20% and so on and so forth what's the problem he says that failed in one aspect the Mal says he says that he gave it for the wrong reasons he gave it for his own honor and not for the sake of Torah once you give it for Honor it's not only not a Mitzvah it's actually a sin and from sins Hashem doesn't protect you from death he doesn't protect you from poverty so these few things are three are four ingredients four ingredients that could help each and every one of us when it comes to working when it comes to P when it comes to everything because the reality is that everyone is working not everyone is an not everyone is at Cola 24 hours a day and not everyone is supposed to be either some people are workers some people are Learners everyone is obligated to learn there's no such thing as a Jew that's righteous without learning to because you don't know how to be righteous without learning but some people are learning full-time some people are learning part-time that's not a problem in fact according to the rambam you should work and learn at the same time says noish says that if have the talent you should learn 24 hours a day and never waste even a single moment working but there is another opinion that says no that's not for everyone either way it's well known that some people are like riada that are meant to learn even though they could achieve anything in the world some of the greatest mind of our past generation said that if you would have gone into medicine would have found a cure for cancer if he would have been in astronomy he would have found a new planet his mind was such a high level of Genius that anything that he would have applied himself to he would have been something as great as he was in Tor he dedicated his life to Tor but that still means that everyone has their certain things you're going to work you're going to learn and so on but if you're already going to do it do it right is my point if you're going to work havea in your work don't steal don't be dishonest don't be a walking and the reason why is because eventually the M says anyone that desecrates the name of hem in privacy eventually their punishment hm exposes them publicly you steal from the government from your employees from your vendors from people that are naive from people that are vulnerable and you're desecrating the way of hasem the the name of hasem hasem eventually expose you in front of everyone made off was not a happen stance it was bound to happen and there's many other little made offs out there too eventually when you see the big craziness one guy goes from the top to the bottom it's because something went wrong maybe not business-wise but with hasem something went wrong he did something wrong to Hashem Hashem says oh you desecrated myem privately I'll desecrate your name publicly people that go from the top to the bottom it's not for nothing there's a reason for it so if you're already going to work protect your work do a CO have a kosher business it's not that hard to not steal it's not that hard I'm telling you it's not that hard and the reason why is because once you see that doing honest business will make you a lot more money anyway in the long run and the reason why is because you'll survive it is if you can make $10 million a week but if you end up in jail anyway it's worth nothing so the reality is if you do honest business eventually pays off you could actually have a real life so if you're already going to work have an honest business second thing is have munai in your business having emai in your business first and foremost means you have to remind yourself all the time every day literally like tattooed into your brain everything you have to always think what does AEM think he's right next to me he's right next to me right now right now he's sitting next to you next to you next to you he's next to everyone he's next to you all the time before you do that deal before you do this before you do what does hasm think what does hasm think of this deal is it honest good is it good good what what is it go through not just a financial pros and cons a spiritual pros and cons is this deal promoting things that are against him easiest thing for somebody for example in jewelry people don't think like this somebody told me that they lost some jewelry recently they lost some jewelry recently and I told them uh listen I'm not here to be I told told you so but did it happen to be those two crosses you told me you bought he says yeah how'd you know I said oh okay good no I know when you say Amen say Amen a stands for it's the god the king reliable meaning what he says he does he doesn't want you to promote idol worship you selling crosses because you want to make money from the go even though you could have leniency of leniency of leniency of leniency why would you do it there's plenty of other things you can sell you don't have to sell crosses the guy went to a show he bought a bunch of different things two of the things that he bought out of a hundred things were crosses I told n you shouldn't have bought this because why I'm not wearing it I'm not worshiping it I said he you're a Jew with a keep on you're selling crosses doesn't look good it could qualifies you're this you I'm always I'm always more I'm always said okay no problem M two three weeks later he tells me I lost the pieces I don't know where they went M the ground swallowed them said hasem is stopping you from sinning he likes the rest of your Chua he's stopping you from sinning kosher business means not just don't cheat the government and the employees and everything else but also don't cheat yourself don't cheat yourself always ask is what I'm doing kosher next part is also Hashem gave you 100% whatever the 100% means to you it can mean 10,000 100,000 a million 100 million whatever it is remember the only reason he gave you 100% is for you to give at least 10% for what for Tor for Tor and not just any Torah the most important Tor is two parts either one people that are learning fulltime or two people that are actually doing Chua people that are helping people do Chua K organizations and Co that's what makes the world go around you want to go buy another seph like I did I spent 60 $70,000 when I had a lot of money on a seph very nice mitvah maybe they use it once or twice a week week I get once twice three a week great I could use the same amount of money to finance at least 10 for for a year or two a lot more think about the return on your investment don't just buy things that are fancy buy things that have return same thing like your business do with your mitv hasm gave you 100% in order for you to give 10 that's havinga there was a guy that had a business textile business and he competed with another guy he said what's your secret he says my secret is that I give M he asked what's m I give 10% do whatever it is okay good very good so I'm going to give it to all right so he started five years later the guy's in worse shape than he started he goes back to the original guy he says I don't understand I gave this m of yours everything worked bad goes what how how what did you do exactly he said when I first started I was making $5 million a year so I figured I gave $500,000 he said good because the second year started as soon as I did this big Mitzvah I don't know something happened Chua became difficult and all of a sudden my business was cut in half so now I said I can't get 500,000 anymore and 20 250,000 is already left cuz my business is rough so maybe this year I'm only going to give 50 so I gave 50 that was my M and you know what happened the next year the business went down to 500,000 and I said 500,000 I can barely survive so I only give 5,000 and then 1,000 then 2,000 then I haven't given a year or so exactly you did it wrong it's not supposed to be you're not supposed to project as soon as you get you're supposed to give don't wait till the end of the year don't wait till the end of the quarter do it as soon as possible why there's too much when it comes to it especially if you're what you're giving is for a good cause so eliminate all the hurdles in front of you these are the few simple things when it comes to your business when it comes to your life if you're having issues when you're having marriage issues Financial issues this issue that issue remember Hashem told every one of the prophets the same thing all of the messages are the same for all of am it's for you to do chuva chuva means you have to learn TOA every day every day morning and night maybe you can't do five hours or 10 hours a day you should be able to do an hour in the morning an hour at night if you're already considered religious if you're just starting out if you haven't even started to keep Shabbat yet then start with something you can handle when I first started I was on like kindergarten level I start with 15 minutes a day I committed to 15 minutes of learning to every day that that I knew for sure I can do sometimes did 15 minutes but I know 15 minutes out of 24 hours I can definitely do with the busy with the no busy with the health issues with no health issues 15 minutes I can do for sure if you're not learning T every single day you have no business talking about why you're not going to be there I'm not joking there's nothing don't talk about mashia he's not going to talk to you if you're not learning to you have no business you're you're you're in the wrong address you have to learn to Le if you if you're at kindergarten level like I used to be start 15 minutes a day every day if you're a little higher at first grade 20 minutes 25 minutes a half hour an hour whatever but every day why you eat every day physically you have to eat every day spiritually now sometimes you have issues where there's a married couple and one of them doesn't want to do Chua the husband starting he's mosu but the wife is still wants to be Ham's wife she doesn't want to do cha or opposite the wife is or she but the husband wants to continue being he doesn't want to do Chua so now how do you get your spouse to do Chua most people that are making this mistake they think that just because it's important to you it's going to be important to them just because you keep Shabbat you like it that means they're going to like it just because you like to put on she's going to like you putting on no it doesn't mean that you like it good for you she likes going to get her hair done she say you go do I go put my get my hair down what's the problem and the reason why is because sometimes when people start doing chuat they do it separately like they start learning and they figure that she'll just catch up eventually if I start keeping Shabbat she's going to keep Shabbat if I start learning she's eventually going to want to know what I learned no this not how it works if you're if you're a man and your wife is not ready yet to do what you're doing that's because you're making a mistake and what the mistake is is that you're you're actually separating your Judaism from your marriage it's like the Americans separate you know the uh the uh laws of business and laws of the religion the state and the religion are two separate things same thing in your house that's the problem you have to make sure that you're studying part of it is with her too so instead of watching some I don't know whatever there is on TV these days if you still have TV in your house or the internet or watching YouTube with some uh cop saving a duck in the middle of the road instead of watching that during dinner tell honey listen we're eating dinner anyway let's watch 15 minutes of toah together learn with her make it our thing not just your thing you're doing it and you're just telling a what to do all day no one likes to be told what to do not your wife not your husband not your kids no one likes to be told what to do if you come and I told you and I you're annoying now I don't want to be religious I don't even want to be Jewish anymore you're actually making me hate it that's what she'll tell you you're actually making me hate it why cuz you're just telling her what to do she doesn't want to be told what to do so what do you do don't tell her what to do have me tell her what to do how do the video honey instead of watching I don't know uh MTV Cribs or uh or some uh housewives that are you know whatever they're doing over there instead of watching that let's watch this sh what is it about I have no idea we're both going to find out at the same time press play don't think too much don't think oh it starts here starts there just press play if she agrees before she changes our mind eat your little pasta eat your burger eat whatever you're eating and have me or R mrai in the background or whoever your motiv by and listen after a while in the beginning you're the one that's going to be affected by the most after a while you'll see she's starting to be affected by it why it's not coming from you it's coming from somebody else if it's coming from somebody else she'll think it's her idea she'll make it her own you'll start seeing your wife or your whoever is not doing CH yet you start seeing them become more religious than you hey you didn't doin yet no no ban no no doin it's already 6:00 in the morning she'll send you to the B why because she realizes how serious it is but if you're studying is outside and all you're doing is telling people what to do all day no one's going to want to be religious around you so that's advice of how to help the world around you especially your spouse same thing with your kids a lot of people send their kids to religious schools and they think it's enough the kid comes home from a religious school takes off the ti takes off the keepa and goes plays basketball he doesn't want to be religious he doesn't want to be a Jew but you're forcing him so what is he going to do he's uh 10 years old why why does this happen in so many houses because kids are pure they're pure pure meaning they don't they don't have a a single bone in their body that's evil but also they have a very very big BS radar a very big BS radar meaning they know when their parents are full of of it they know they're not going to always tell them but they know if the rabbi is dressed like mosenu but ABA is dressed like he's going to the beach he says ABA is full of it or the rabbi is full of it somebody's full of it I'm not listening to anybody if you want your kids to be religious you have to start taking Judaism seriously if your kids are not serious it's your fault not the rabbi's fault it's not the school's fault you can send them to mount sa it's not going to help if your kids are coming home and they want to put meaning skirts on it's your fault don't blame the rabbi don't blame the environment don't blame Donald Trump don't blame it's your fault you the parent why your kid called you out he's saying IMA you're dress like this I'm going to dress like it you dress with a minis skirt I'm dressing with a minis skirt you take off your keeper I'm taking off my keeper your kids are going to be your mirror they're going to be your mirror reality is those kids in hashem's eyes they consider each one of them is considered mashia each one of them has the opportunity to be mashia each one of them that's why he says to the prophet don't hurt my M what M there only one Mash he's not talking about the mashia he's talking about the children don't hurt the children children by your bad midot your bad character traits your fakeness your falsehood either be a Jew or be a real person say listen I can't do it I'm a loser but uh son you should be better than me at least admit to the kid but don't tell listen you're supposed to be religious when you're going to the beach every Shabbat why because that's going to make the kid an atheist it's going to make him think the whole thing is a joke a lot of the people that come to me that fell off the they grew up in religious houses and then all of a sudden they became little mini amals what happened every single one of them blames a major person in their life their Rabbi that did crazy things their uh father that did crazy things their mom something happened with somebody important in their life the kid couldn't take it eventually he broke meaning in sh who are they blaming the kid no they're blaming whoever influenced him he became someone that caus other people to sin all the sins go to his account too so that's the other thing be real don't be a faker because your kids are going to know if Torah is important to you you're going to learn Torah instead of learning CNBC if on on TV all day there's CNBC and there's no Torah in your life your kids's going to care about CNBC if you're talking politics and Shabbat your kids's goingon to talk politics not gonna talku like everybody tries to make themselves feel good by having the kid give a Torah for three and a half minutes that no one wants to listen to oh yeah what' you learn in school today yeah yeah Donald Trump yeah oh okay M yeah yeah yeah Donald Trump I can't believe he put that oh yeah yeah they smile at the kid make the kid feel good in reality the kid hates the way where he is why it's like why am I even why even the making making me do this they're not listening anyway they're talking about Donald Trump next week I'm gonna give a about Donald Trump next week I'm going to give him a about CNBC they care more about that than this your kid is going to be your mirror your kid's going to be a mirror last but not least here's the deal you're going to spend an x amount of money an x amount of time an x amount of effort to be the best you possibly can be in your career your career at best Will Survive Your Life lifetime at best case scenario if you I don't know if you you're like uh Warren Buffett that never can't die the guy he's 90 years old still still healthier than all of us or Kirk Koran the guy's like 190 or something and he's still doing business deals if you're like one of these people you at the best case scenario you're going to live 120 years and you're going to make billions of dollars best case scenario okay fine at some point it's going to end it's going to end everyone know it's going to end so now invest at least as much effort in something that's not going to end and that'sa doesn't end at the very least be fair with yourself be fair with theem you're going to invest an x amount of effort and energy and money and so on on something that's temporary anyway at the very least put just as much effort on something that's permanent it really should be more but at the very least it should be just as much you work nine hours a day find a way to learn 9 hours hours a day if you can't learn yourself 9 hours a day find the way to contribute to Learners 9 hours a day do something to make it an even trade hem I want 100% of the she okay hasm says I want you to also give I want you to also give and the reason why we know that Judaism is the is is a something that's from God and no other unlike any other religion unlike Christianity or Buddhism or Islam or any of the other nonsense things that people created is because in our Torah even giving money to the poor to the poor has a certain way has a certain Al has a certain strategy you're not allowed to give to the poor with disrespect you actually have to give them the best of your goods you have to give them a certain way a certain time our religion is so so Divine that even giving has laws even giving to the poor to the needy has laws only God can think of such things so God is thinking about you all day all night 24 hours a day all we need to do is think about him just at least as much and this will help all of us get to this that's full of in this world and the next any questions same price go ahead same I know as soon as I turn off the camera there's 500 questions we did a sh in New York and two and a half hours two hour almost three hours sh I said no questions no question everybody ran out of questions finish turn off the camera four more hours four more hours I was there till 4 o' in the morning 4:00 in the morning why CU there was one guy that was arguing he didn't want to keep Shabbat so I had to stay till 4:00 in the morning till agre to keep shab like watching your fellow like do a sin right I feel like a lot of people watch other people do sins because they're like looking at themselves like I'm not so perfect so like who am I to judge you're not judging if let that's the thing you're not judging what you're doing is let's say for example you saw says if you saw your friend standing on a on a uh on a track on a train track now you saw the train's coming your friend I don't know is blind deaf stupid whatever he is he's on the train track now what are you going to do if you're a friend if you love him if you even care about him remotely even if he's your enemy and you're a human being what are you going to do at the very least you're just going to push him off if he's not going to listen you're going to yell move no something you're going to do you're not going to sit there like a post brainless person say oh no ah tough luck tough luck yeah yeah you know Donald Trump should do something about this train track you know you're not you're not going to sit there do nothing and do something right that's a thing you're not thinking at that point you're not thinking listen who am I to judge he's on a train track maybe he has a reason to be there maybe the train has a reason maybe Hashem wants it to happen you're not thinking like that why there's a danger you're a human being you have a heart he like listen let me get him out of danger see same thing here you're not thinking oh I'm not perfect I'm not this may that's not your business your business is you know shabat is a Mitzvah he's violating it tell him listen like me don't like me whatever it is at the very least I need you to know AEM says you have to keep Shabbat why look at the story of if he didn't give him leeway what makes you think he's going to give you leeway don't think about I'm not perfect I'm not this it has nothing to do with anything there's poison in his water you're telling them heyy before you drink it there's poison here you want to continue drinking it enjoy but at least you know at least you know by the way after you drink you're going to die but at least you know it's not surprise that's it you're not doing the rest of the math just like you wouldn't do the rest of the math when there's a train track it's the same exact thing because all you're caring about is delivering the message that's it you deliver the message now the ramb says up to what point is this mitvah we have 63 mitv one of the mitv is to rebuke our brother to tell our brother the truth when you see them sinning you're obligated to do it so the rambam says up to what point literally up to the point where they're hitting you meaning he said it he doesn't listen next time you saw it again you say it again up to what point really up to the point where he's threatening to hit you and some say until he actually hit you now obviously you don't need necessarily to get to that point because most normal people will either listen to you by then or stay away from you by then but the reality is that all of these other accounting that we do in our head I'm not good enough I'm not perfect enough all of that stuff that's the in your mind saying mind your business he'll mind your bus is your business and that's it and the reason why we cannot allow ourselves to continue doing that is because it's not only that but also the page 56 says that anytime you see another Jew sinning and you don't say something the sin goes to your account too so now it's not just saving him it's saving you too and the proof they use is on uh M Shabbat page 56 also where it says one of the greatest T that ever lived he had a neighbor a woman a widow that had a cow and the cow carried some bells on Shabbat they not allowed to use your animal to carry things on Shabbat it's like work so he felt bad to tell this Widow and some say he didn't really think that it was a violation the point being is the say almost lost his why his cow violated Shabbat so the asked what is cow he had one cow was a multi-billionaire he would his was 120,000 cows a year what he had one cow no the one cow that belonged to his neighbor is counted as if it's his cow why cuz that cow violated Shabbat he never said anything it's as if his cow violated chabbat he almost lost his because of it and he fasted for the rest of his life because of it until all of his teeth turned black for one thing that was an accidental sin and that's someone that's holy so the point is is that rebuking is not just a Mitzvah to help our brothers it's to save us and that's the one thing that people just don't do because they do the same accounting that you do and I've done and everyone does ah he'll do his own thing I'll do my thing and everybody's going to take care of themselves we have no right to do it yeah I remember reading somewhere maybe Rabbi that nobody in this generation and this dog is able to rebuke somebody properly they don't know how somebody properly so to we shouldn't do it that's one thing that I that I remember reading as a somebody who has responsibilities as a as a as a boss and as a and as all kinds of different things I try many times in my way to rebuke people or to try to to tell them or point out in a way to to try to get them without sounding like a like uh like doing it wrong right and a lot of times it just goes unheard or goes un notied or it doesn't change anything so I mean do you need to repeat like let's say you're right you have to say something to somebody and you mention it to one person one time and you see that it just goes in one ear and out of the other or so so do you have to then keep saying it to that person again or just once in a while whenever you run across a situation to somebody else now you can say it because you have to say something in whatever way and then you just don't repeat it again if you see that it doesn't make any change how many times you repeat to the same person do you even say anything because again we were told maybe we shouldn't reuke right so there's two there's two questions the first question is how many times and second question is do we even have the permission to rebuke so first question is easier how many times same thing like your business if you have a business and a customer says no what do you do you try to sell it in another way oh maybe you want this okay you don't want this okay I'll give you something else why cuz you're trying to make a sale if there's a house oh you don't want this house okay I'll say I have another house what kind of house do you hunt oh you want a house with three bedrooms okay I'll find you with three bedroom oh not this three bedroom okay you keep trying to do something else different strategies so telling him directly didn't work do it indirectly bring him to a lecture give him a CD send him a video do it in different ways if you see that something that you're doing is outright not working with him that he may the message may be good but the way you're delivering the message may not be so you try a different way doesn't so you try the same message in a different way way a different way that he may not want you to be the vessel sometimes the wife will never want to listen to the husband sometimes the husband will never listen to the wife sometimes the the parents will never listen to the children why because they're always going to look at their children like I look at my kids they're in diapers I don't care if they could be 30 years old I'm always going to see them in diapers so the parent is never going to listen to their kid rebuking them oh ABA you should keep Shabbat what keep Shabbat I changed your diaper 25 years ago what keep Shabbat you go mind your business little K so the reality is that the message is good but the way you're delivering is so what do you do you try a different way a more creative way just like you would do in your business he doesn't want this house you get him a different house he doesn't want this meal you give him a different meal he doesn't want this diamond you give him a different Diamond meaning be creative gave you a creative mind use a different way to deliver the same message if it's not from you it's from me it's from it's from somebody that could deliver the same message in a different way so that's answering as far as delivering the message the second question and is a very big misunderstanding that people have as far as that we're not allowed to rebuke and the reason why it's outright incorrect is because it's one of the 613 me none of the 630 mitv are ever cancelled even the bet mikash is not canceled the only reason why we don't bring mikash is not because it's canceled it's because we don't have it we can't do it our prayer but if we had Tomorrow immediately all the go back into play so the only reason we don't fulfill that mitvah is because we're un we can't do it's beyond our control so any one of the 63 never goes out of style never goes out of we always obligated to reuke and the we're saying is that very few people know how to rebuke completely on everything without sinning and that's right why because there's very few that could rebuke on everything but we're not seeing rebuke on everything we're seeing rebuke on one specific thing you keep Shabbat tell the guy to keep Shabbat you keep modesty tell the guy to keep modest we're making say something like right wrong and I don't know even I know it's wrong and I don't know myself that the real real reasons why it's wrong but I know it's wrong and I know that I can tell them you're not doing it right but unless I know completely 100% myself then maybe I don't right in that case he's not going to listen to you anyway if you don't know it yourself so the things that you're clear on you're clear that you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat you're clear that you're not allowed to steal you're clear that you're not allowed to murder you're clear that you're not allowed to walk around immodesty man or female you're clear on certain things those few things that you're clear on those things focus on things that you're not clear on get clear on them and then do that too but the point that's what the were really referring to is that there's not anyone that's clear on everything so there's no mosu in our generation so there's no one that's there that can do everything but for every for the little things for the individual things we all obligated to do it and that's so people took the big statement and made it like the small statement and made it really big and that's that's that's the that completely took us off that pretty much made everybody think they're rebuking is a bad thing which in reality the biggest most important job for every single one of the prophets we've ever had from the beginning of time until the end was to rebuke the people that was the number one mission for every single Prophet yeahor so we have a neighbor let's sayab we see him driving on Shabbat we have a responsibility to tell him it's Shabbat you shouldn't be driving what type of success are we going to have by telling him something like that again like I said you have to use your creat ity now if it depends if let's say for example if it's a big Rabbi and he respects the big Rabbi he probably will not drive in front of them but if it's his boys that he goes out with them to have a couple of drinks here and there he's probably not going to respect them as much but he's not going to disrespect them either saying if I see him driving on shabat my neighbor he knows that he's not supposed to drive onab am I supposed to stop and tell it's Shabbat technically technically yes technically yes you are supposed to stop you have to supposed to scream and pretty much resp technically that is your responsibility now since most of us are not that zealous shom shom he say that Shalom is actually above his name even he's willing to his name for Shalom almost every situation fight with your neighbor CU you can't fight with your neighbor either and now you're going to go and tell him hey you shouldn't drive on Shabbat and this specific neighbor right know he's talking about is an house and he'll come and he'll and he'll make problem you'll make now in the neighborhood over this every time you see each other now it's dirty looks okay so there's a verse that answers your question there's a verse that right so here there two there's two part answer first part answer there is a there is a verse in says and Shalom there's no peace to someone that's driving on Shabbat is not a he's not considered your brother there's no Shalom there's no he's not considered your brother not he's not part of you he's considered someone that violate shabat is considered Idol so now is Judaism is on suspension the rules all of the rules don't apply to him you're even allowed to lend a Jew that violat Shabbat on purpose money with interest to that extent why because he's considered a now you tell him that he's not going to be your friend anymore so you have to to do it in a creative smart way if you stop him in the middle of the street and he's going to come out and beat you up obviously that's not going to get anything going so what do you do you do it in a different way he drove already he's not going to stop anyway the next time he's comes over for a barbecue the next time you see him walking the next time he's more calm the next time you see him laughing next time you see an opportunity that's when you're a sniper you're thinking and you're planning that one opportunity could be for a month it could be for a week could be for five hours but plan that time where it's a better opportunity it doesn't necessary obviously if you're Pinas the Coen you're going to do it on the spot you're going to stand in the middle of the road and and and and kill the guy if you have to but we're not so you have to use our brain we have to use our mind we have to use our intuition and the guy that's going to create a lot of problems not going to listen to you anyway wait for a time where it's a better opportunity he's going to come home at some point he's going to smile at some point he's going to be in a better mood at some point he maybe give him a for the right opportunity wait for it but don't just eliminate yourself from it and again like I said sometimes coming from you is the worst place sometimes he's just not going to listen to you so what do you do there's a bunch of CDs over here take a few give it to people take a listen what is this it's really interesting what is it about try it well I don't know it's too long for me to explain to you just try it let his curiosity get him to listen something happens that's how a lot of the people that have done that have been listening to somebody gave him a CD somebody sent him a lecture somebody shared it they didn't know what it was curiosity made them press it they listen they got H now they keep so it doesn't always have to come as a direct message sometimes the most effective attack is like a stealth where no one knows it's even you plenty of people that have actually sent them CDs they don't even know it came for me said to be smart don't be right right exactly you said it you summarize the whole thing in a few words sometimes you don't even want to tell him you gave him the CD just put it in his mailbox where did it come from who cares where it came from came from sh has sent it to you direct mail who cares where it came from send it from an anonymous email you Tred do different things that are creative just to make sure that hasem sees oh my son's at least trying we don't really know the guy you know he's a neighbor though M neighbor you we see and it's sad you know that we see 100% that's one thing one really bad I have ask about specifically this neighbor is before P everybody was cleaning their cars okay so he had a some guy Armenian guy come to the to him and come and clean and detail the guy's car he was there we saw for three and a half hours detailing the the car yeah after he was done detailing the car my wife while he was detailing went over and asked him how much do you want to charge to detail or can you come and detail ours or something like that my wife has yeah said okay sure so after after the hours he came crying to my wife that they only gave him $30 okay and um and the wife said no I'm sorry my husband's not here I don't know you know whatever so she dri the guy out of the money she they straight dri the guy out of the money like you know what I mean and then this guy sent his friend to come clean our cars is a gangster Armenian all patted up from head to toe y like don't let like you're not going to get over on on me you know what I'm saying because now he did a Jews look bad they went he ji them and now they're scared they're going to come for us Jews and maybe we're going to do the same thing so he brought some gangster guy just in case so we don't J him that's why that's why that's important to have and we're not invit and I went to the GU I'm like I can't believe that that we would never do you know K can 100% but that's the thing when someone when someone has no uh you know no um whatsoever the actually says you're not even allowed to be in a room alone with him in a room alone why why say say if he doesn't have you're not even allowed to be in a closed room alone with him why he may kill you why kill he's a nice guy he says no if he has no you make him mad he'll think that he has the right to take your life why if he's not afraid of God that means he thinks he's God and he has a right to your life so when someone doesn't have is very very dangerous unfortunately but the reality is is that we have to do our best to try to get people to get in somewhere way somebody like that that's so far away that's dishonest un you know just completely a terrible person to go tell him to go fix one don't even waste your time somebody like this get him to learn get him to get him to uh learn something like that somebody like this you have to it's like a whole sh yeah has to be something he has to realize that he has to changes his entire life something like this you tell them that they should do k or something like that it's not going to work for them because to them that mindset they think it's all elective it's all like a culture so once he actually starts hearing the truth and it shocks his back to life then those people could actually be some of the best bicha in the world because they have a big heart they just think that they can pretty much Run the World the way they want some of them are really good people they just don't have no idea right or left so again you tread carefully you use your wisdom some things you do obvious some things you do behind the scenes and you you uh don't make him your only candidate there there's many Jews out there some are friends some are family some are strangers go everywhere in as many places as possible and share the message and you'll see that you'll have complete strangers all of a sudden they're putting on on things are changing from what something that you had a hand in and for something like that that's the biggest G of all because says to the Prophet Jeremiah if you bring somebody to make him do you make someone precious when he used to be a used to be you make him do be be Shabbat you'll be like my mouth what does it mean you'll be like my mouth just like I said words and the world world came to being you say prayers and I make it so meaning your prayers have a VIP treatment in sh higher than anyone else in in in even higher than a prophet to that extent so that's the biggest G that's the biggest thing of all and you have to make like a daily part of your life five minutes 10 minutes an hour five whatever it is you have to do something if everybody does something then we have we'll get something anything else everybody else thank you for coming thank you we have another sh tomorrow I forget where but look at my Facebook page uh I think it's called I ha or something I don't know it's some other place in Los Angeles [Music] [Applause] [Music] n he [Music]
