[Music] wonderful to be here in Montreal thank you for having me mayem bless each and every one of you for for hosting for coming we'll learn some to together it's our first time in Montreal and it's been an adventure to get here so that means it's going to be a lot of uh a lot of a lot of good things going to come out of this trip anytime things go easy in life you know the is not interested it's not interested go go do do do what you want to do but if there's a lot of if there's not of disturbances that means yet is interested you'll see anytime a person wants to make a sin yet doesn't interfere he wants to go to a club yet tells him no someone's going to give you a ride all of a sudden someone wants to give you a ride but you want to go to beet flat tire car breaks down there's no all types of things happen I just want to go pray no no all types of things have to happen want to go bar game baseball football the Toyota in the world people giving you rides the the the stadium send you a limousine so you know you see you see you can see Hashem through his actions so we're going to try to uh cover a lot of ground in a short period of time but uh I'm here all night as long as you are uh for I don't know if any of you know my I know that a few of you I I'm familiar with are are familiar with my story but I already heard a few of you say that you don't know anything uh as far as my my personal background so I'll try to cover it uh but really the the main key the main uh goal of every one of my sh is to leave you with something to take home meaning something for you to go home and think about and ask yourself why am I not better why am I not better why am I not a better Aid why am I not a better servant of hem and the reason why is because Torah tells us that each and every single one of us is supposed to ask every day when will my actions be like ab and yob when will my actions be like this is both for men and for women which means that if we're not asking ourselves this question it's one of two things either we're delusional and we think we already are like Abraham and yob or we stopped caring or we stopped caring the second is a bigger problem being delusional you could always wake somebody up but when someone stops caring it makes it very very difficult for me to help him makes it very difficult for anybody to help him and the reason why is because you can't help somebody that doesn't want to help themselves you know a lot of people send me their friend their parent their brother their son some name some phone number or sometimes they bring him to sh here help him what what happened what did he do what does he need anything no he's uh going out with a Goya oh she's going out with a go oh she's doing this she's doing that he's not keeping Shabbat I said okay fine but what does that have to do with me what did I do that I have to deserve this said no but you tell him the truth said okay I'll tell him the truth but does you want to listen I'll tell him the truth I have no problem telling the truth even when the truth hurts but does he want to listen sometimes person doesn't want to listen you can't help the the person even if mosenu himself comes down and tells the person the truth he doesn't want to listen he can't help him but if a person wants to listen if a person wants the truth no power in the world can stop him from getting it and that's because there's a PUK in the Tor in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 4em says that at the end of days if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul you'll find me meaning that if you look forem you look for the you'll find him so what about all those people that haven't found them yet there's only one of two possibilities according to this PUK one they're not really looking for him two it hasn't come time yet sometimes you have to go through certain things has to prepare you is to cook you a little bit before you're ready and this is exactly what happened to me so for all of you who don't don't know my personal story I'll give you a little bit of a background but of course the key is to give you something to think about and then at the end we'll go with uh questions and answers any questions you have any BM will have the Merit to give you some answers and then at the end I'm going to try I'm trying to do something new to test my owna so I asked three people to to write down questions I don't know what the questions are but a lot of people tell me that when they come to this Shu they have questions they leave this sh they don't have questions so I wanted to to ask the questions and I don't know the questions I'm going to ask ask answer the questions without knowing what the questions are why because this shows you that it has nothing to do with me it has to do with hem Torah tells us that when a person comes to he gets something called he gets a reward a merit for going to the sh for going to the SH now in the old days sometimes you wanted to go to you had to travel three four five days just to go to it's not like today you go into a car you drive 10 minutes you're in a sh or you turn on a computer you have a sh in the old days you have to travel sometimes a few months to go learn some to if you want to learn a certain book you have to go to a rich person's house stay in his house for six months until you finish the book and then leave there's no Library there's no art scroll there's no internet you can buy stuff or get it for free meaning it was a lot more difficult to get to in those days in today's world we have no such excuse in today's world anyone that wants to it's as easy as a button which means that when any of us go up to shamay after 120 they're going to ask us if we learn T and if the answer is no they're not going to ask why because the answer is obvious you didn't want to why because it was easy hasem made it very very easy very accessible for a person to learn T that's why there's a that says that if a mistake if a sin comes as a result of not learning even though it's the sin was made by mistake he simply didn't know they not allowed to grind on Shabbat he didn't know they not allowed to turn on the electricity on Shabbat he didn't know in sham they're gonna say wait did he not know because he studied he studied he studied and he just never got to it or he didn't know because he just didn't study if he didn't get to it but he studied then it's shog then it's an accidental sin that's a lower level punishment but if he just didn't study then we consider The Accidental sin as on purpose why on purpose why intentional because he intentionally didn't study he intentionally didn't study in a generation like today that you could literally get more Torah than the rambam had access to for free we have no excuse but sometimes you have sadim in the community that know that it's not enough to have it accessible on the internet you have to bring it to people so they bring somebody from a different country they bring somebody from a different town they arrang people they call they text they email they do whatever they got to do just to get people to come to why because they want to savings account for sham they want a savings accounts for sham so this sh will also be to their Merit for anyone that's toiled to get this Shield together to get people here you should know that every single person that doesn't meetv that is you goes to your Merit now when I first started learning T I didn't learn T because I wanted to become religious I learned tah because I wanted to prove that not being religious is the right way because I wasn't religious most of my life I was on Wall Street I was making a lot of money I had most of what people want especially at age that I was so for me religion was just something that you can do if you want to if you want to be religious you should be religious if you don't want to be religious you don't have to be religious that was my mindset there are certain things that are obvious like for example you're not allowed to eat on y Kip that's obvious but whether you drive on Shabbat don't drive on Shabbat not as obvious why whenever person starts making excuses there's no end to his rationale so I came to the United States when I was 10 years old we went to school and I knew that I didn't want to be a doctor or lawyer or anything in between I wanted to make money I went to Wall Street for the first few years I was paying my dues meaning I was working for other people they made money I made nothing but eventually I started making money by the time I was 23 years old I made my first million dollars and realized that the sky is the limit sky is the limit why because if just a few years before that I was making zero I had to borrow a dollar from this kid named Dimitri just to get on the bus just to eat a donut every day but now just a year and a half two years later I have a million dollars to my name sky the limit I worked for a big firm I made sure that my business was legitimate because my father taught me a very very good principle in life he said you can do anything in life any business in life in two ways the right way and the wrong way the right way or the wrong way you'll make a lot of money if you do it the wrong way you make a lot of money very very quickly but you won't last eventually it'll all explode in your face but you can make a ton of money very quickly but eventually you'll have a ton of explosions or you could do it the the right way and you won't make as much money right away it'll take you a very long time if you even succeed but whatever you do is yours so I chose option b I chose the right way but hasem merited me to actually have a lot of money in a short period of time meaning While most people are hoping to reach a million dollars by the time they're 40 or 50 years old they already reached it at a very young age when thek Market was crashing I was convincing people to invest so when eventually the market rebounded my clients made money while everybody else was still trying to recover when you invest when no one else wants to invest then you're making a good investment when you're investing when everybody else is investing you should know you're the sucker So for anybody people still ask me till this day even though I've been out of Wall Street for five years six years already people still ask me questions about Wall Street should we invest should we not invest I tell them the Market's been going up for 10 years straight I don't follow it but that's what people tell me it's been going up since I left it's still going up which means that whoever's investing now you're not the first one you have to know that the main money has already been made but again people don't want to listen they still do it and that's why every market crash has losers in it and every Market recovery has winners needless to say this logic helped me on Wall Street I made some money I raised uh I started building a company my uh hobby was to go play uh Texas Holdem in a casino with the best players in the world because I thought it was fun and it was legal I made sure that whatever whenever anybody asked me for money they needed they needed the seph T they needed to build something I had an open door policy so at least every week at least two to three Rabbi showed up to my office and they never got a o as an answer somebody always got some type of money now I had the office for 16 years and because of that I have a very very strong case against most rabbis in the world and the case is that today's strategy of being a of getting people to do chuv is a complete failure and I'm the proof today's strategy is to tell people what they want to hear to appease them to please them to make sure they're happy to make sure that they think that God loves them no matter what that call that we all hear on on shabat that all of Israel have a share of the world to come no matter what even if you drive on Shabbat even if you married to a Goya even if you go out with an Arab even if you do this you do that you can do whatever you want hm loves you anyway that's unfortunately the strategy today and the reason why I say unfortunately is because it's a lie it's not true there's no Source in the Torah that says that now the PUK that you read on Shabbat that says that all of have a share in the world to come has a continuation we just read the first part on Shabbat the continuation is and these are the following who do not have a share of the world to come and it gives you a list over 10im 10 pages of gar pages of who is excluded from this list it's put it this way if you look at the list it's very hard not to find yourself in it you have to be very creative not to find yourself in it meaning that it's very very difficult to get TOA it's very easy to lose it so if anyone is giving you the opposite impression that with or without keeping Shabbat with or without keeping kosher with or without learning tah with or without doing M you're GNA get there to where and is there's a very serious problem with that logic because that would make the entire T into one big so now when I had all of these rabbis come to my office every week they never told me any of this stuff because the strategy is not to tell the strategy today is to just keep the person interested keep the person warm make sure not to turn him off people always tell me no don't say that that may turn people off I said yeah but but he's dead already forget off he died he's not off he died there's no pulse he's died he's married to a Goya he has three kids with another one he's eating shrimp on PES what do you mean he died it's not off there's no off here what off no but maybe he's not going to come to the who needs him in wait you count him for why he's gonna bring the shrimp with him as what are you going to do with him what off no no don't turn him off I said you you know when somebody when somebody loses Consciousness what's the first thing you do first you give him a slap in the face the first thing you do give him a slap in the face wake them up it doesn't work what do you do call his name it's a actually psychologically it's a very good thing to do why because psychologically speaking she's right the most pleasing sound that a person's could actually ever listen to is their own name but after you slap him after you give him mouth to mouth after you do all these things then what you put a shock to him you shock him now if you shock a regular person Shalom if you shock one of the people here sitting oh you're enjoying you're laughing you're happy but I start shocking you you're not going to like me so much why because you're alive and well but you shock a dead person they may wake up what about if it doesn't work then you so if a person is already so far away from the truth that in reality smacking him in the face is not going to do it giving him mouth to mouth is not going to do it shocking him is not going to do it you can't help him but the reality is that most of is is not that far most of is today even the ones that eat shrimp on P and people even the ones that are married toim even the ones that don't even know the very basics of kosher laws nothing they're not that far they only have one problem and that problem is ignorance they simply don't know anything not that does not absolve them from fulfilling the toah because when they wanted to know how to make money they went to college they wanted to learn a profession they learned a profession they wanted to do something in life they learned it they put some YouTube videos they learned how to do it meaning if anybody ever wants to do something they ask questions they make phone calls they go on the internet they do research which means that if they really cared about hem they'd find out so not knowing does not absolve a person from fulfilling the Torah but what it does is that it puts the the onus on us it puts the responsibility on us any of us that actually know a little bit of T any of us that actually know a little bit of and tells us that in reality we are at fault it's our fault they don't know anything the says that malel comes to hem and he says when are you gonna send mashia Hashem says like I said in the books I said to the prophets every Prophet same message with it's m to prophet Isaiah Ezekiel anyone you want they all had the same exact message what's the message please that's the message every generation from the beginning of the world all the way to the end you don't do Chua I'm gonna send Haman I'm gonna send Hitler I'm gonna send somebody to wake you up one way or another you're GNA do Chua one way or another you're going to do chuba so G says okay hasem I understand that when they do chuva you're going to send mashia but between you and I you know they're not all going to do chuva you know the future AEM says okay so let me lower the price a little bit not when everybody does chuba when just the religious people do chuba the the people that already keep MIT they should know about CH the the the guy that's married to a she's married to an Arab they don't know what CH is they think it's an answer they don't know they think it's a maybe this is with the cookies on it they don't know mein they don't know but someone that's someone has a has everything else he knows what chu is so says when the religious people do Chu I'll send mashia thear continues with this conversation between Mal Gabel and hasem and Mal Gabel comes back to hem and he says hem between you and me you know that the fr people are never going to do Chua they already think they did Chua they're more difficult than the secular people at least the secular people you tell them something new they listen the from people like no no no I already have a keeper I'm already M who are you talking about my wife you didn't see they they already think they did Chua says okay okay fine let me lower the price I'll lower the price a little more when one one Min of people one bit everybody CH I'll bring mashia this is good and bad news at the same time it's good news because it shows us that we only need 10 people in one building to do chva and mashia comes automatically the bad news is that we haven't been able to do it in 200000 years that's the bad news if you have nine people I'm willing to be the 10th the reality is is we have so many debates about everything and anything that we forget the we forget the key the most important which is to do chv when people came to my office asking for money their goal should have been to help me do chuva instead their goal was to help other people do chuva or to build a building or to build another b or to buy more books or to do everything else except help me why because they fig eventually he's going to do chuva somehow some way this simply doesn't work if you don't tell somebody then Hashem has to tell them the difference is if I tell you to do chuva it's nice maybe it'll make you laugh maybe it'll make you upset but either way it's not going to hurt so much when Hashem says it it hurts all the time because he doesn't speak in clear language like me he speaks in a different language which is the language that he spoke to me with and I'll tell you about that next so since they didn't tell me I continued operating my life just like I did I made money I built a business I had my fun and I chose whatever mitv I wanted to keep I kept whatever mitv I didn't want to keep I didn't keep which was pretty much the majority of Judaism I said okay you're not allowed to work on Shabbat fine I won't work on Shabbat I'll go to the casino instead why you laughing it was perfect Logic for me said you're not allowed to eat non Kosher meat fine I'll eat the uh Sushi and the uh cheese at the non koser place it's perfect Logic for me I won't eat the meat at the non kosher place I'll eat the dairy at the non kosher place not realizing there's also meat in the dairy meaning that everything had an excuse everything had a way that I would make it a one day I went I met a wonderful woman and I said this one is the one this one is the one this one is amazing this one is just I mean the best of the best all she cares about is making me happy who want who's better than that I said yeah but uh yon she's not Jewish said yeah but hasem sent her hasem sent her if hasm didn't want me to marry her you should have said somebody else this is the logic of a secular person this is the logic of a person that's not glued to hasem you can make a rational reason to do every single sin in the Torah people always ask the question how is it that that saw the saw Miracle saw wonderful things in a bet mikdash how do they worship idols how do you do such a stupid thing like how do you go worship an idol you see a lion a fire in the shape of a lion coming from sham every day to eat theban and you're going to go worship some statue you bought from Chinatown for $15 how does that make any sense thear answers that question too it says that is in reality they didn't believe in statues they knew it's all nonsense all but they knew that the rabbis kept telling them to do chuva do chuva do chuva they kept coming to their office they coming to their office tell them do Chu says how do I stop this Rabbi from coming to my office ah you know what I'm going to bring a statue to the office if the statue comes to the office the rabbi's not coming to the office and that's exactly what they did they brought the statute to the office so the rabbi doesn't come to the office why because in reality what do they want to do they wanted to go out with Goot they wanted to go make sex crimes they wanted to go do things against the toah but as long as the rabbi keeps coming to the office I can't do it I don't have free lunch so I have to make this rabbis think I'm an avud I'm a lost case how could I show him a lost case bring a statue to the office so in reality they didn't bring the statues because they believed in the statues they brought the statues as a tool to get the rabbis not to come anymore the mistake the rabbis made is they stopped coming they actually listened and that's why the gar says that they got punished also when a rabbi tells the crowd what they want to hear because they want to hear it and not because they need to hear it he gets punished for it even more than they do but the reality is that it doesn't absolve the person that's sinning from from the aot so as time elapsed Hashem lost his patience and he started giving me bigger and bigger tests in the beginning dust was turning to Gold Hashem started turning the gold back to dust started losing some money but I thought okay you know there's ups and downs in business doesn't mean anything one day I decided that I wanted to have a surgery an elective surgery meaning I didn't really actually have to have it but something was annoying me something that two-thirds of the population has I decided to have a surgery that the doctor told me it's very simple you come in the morning you leave in the afternoon you go home you relax for a couple of days and you go back to work I said okay fine no problem doesn't sound too bad I went to the surgery I had the surgery and everything changed when I woke up out of the surgery I was screaming and yelling my lungs out asking for everyone to kill me because the pain was unbelievable it felt like someone was taking a dagger that they Ed the Commandos use and was ripping my body up over and over again but it was also connected to electricity at the same time if that's not enough they started giving me morphine and it didn't work they gave me more morphine and it didn't work they gave me more morphine and it didn't work and eventually I told my wife we gave him the most amount of morphine legally allowed if it doesn't work there's nothing we can do because by now he should die eventually worked and it calm me down and then they released me from the hospital I went to sleep I woke up 40 minutes later and the pain came back this time it was worse because this time I didn't have the morphine and it didn't stop for 62 days now for 62 days when you have such pain that means that you can't go to sleep you can't eat you can't function and then your body starts failing so when each and every one of you say the that I brought for you which is a that's very very personal to me of hopefully you can think of me one day why because it'll help you appreciate the the you have the posters here with you I brought you posters at the end you'll get it maybe it's still upstairs I'll give it to you before you leave you should collect it it's a poster you should have outside of your bathrooms outside of your bathrooms not inside your uh drawers in a drawer doesn't help you if it's in a drawer it doesn't help you if it's on the wall just like it is like painting is on the wall the should be on the wall why because when you look at a instead of just do it for memory you appreciate it differently to such an extent that the who knew the entire Tora back and forth he says when he does which is a simple that a six-year-old Knows by heart he says I read it from theid why is a bigger there's more significance when I see the words than do it for memory when you say after you relieve yourself in the bathroom most people don't realize the significance of this until they get older or they have something like what happened to me they think that it's just supposed to work it just goes it just goes and it comes and it goes and whenever I have to do what's the big deal trust me when I tell you it's a very very big deal when your body works that regardless of whether you eat ice cream or steak or apple everything turns to blood and all the waste comes out of your body effortlessly painlessly seamlessly no big deal right it's a very big deal this tells you that Hashem made holes and he made closings that whenever one of these holes is closed and one one of these closings is opened we wouldn't be able to survive a single hour only a person that has struggled can tell you that that is is as Amit as it gets and I can tell you that for those days the holes didn't work the closings didn't work nothing worked wherever was open blood came out instead of anything else blood out of your eyes out of my eyes out of my ears out of every hole there is there was blood was like a horror movie whatever was closed became opened meaning everything and anything that could fail failed and no one could explain it pain was 24 hours a day and the only thing that would subside the pain is 50 painkillers and boiling water the 50 painkillers eventually put you to sleep the boiling water is because it a different pain numbs the old pain after two months of this wonderful experience Hashem gave me a little bit of a break and I started coming back to myself started going back to Wall Street started going back to work give him the price at the end not now so Hashem gave me a break I started coming back to life but still I was in a lot of pain but not like I was 9 months later I felt a pain in my leg I went to the hospital cuz I couldn't walk anymore they said that I had an absis which is an internal infection that is so big that if I waited another hour it would explode in my blood system then I would die within an hour I said wow this is good news so we had the surgery and now I had to spend the next few weeks in the Intensive Care Unit next to all the people that are dying everyone's screaming comparing screams he's louder than that one whenever someone started screaming we got worried why he most likely died this is the adventures of being an intensive care unit I'm sorry that you don't like it but this is what happens an intensive care unit one thing that the Intensive Care Unit also has is the same thing like hospice everybody believes in God in the H that everybody becomes religious everybody becomes why CU everybody's screaming God's name God help me God help me why cuz the money can't help them the family can't help them the friends can't help them the house can't help them the car can't help nothing in the world can help them other than God after enough experiences in a hospital whether I liked it or not I had to start screaming to God first surgery second surgery 6 months later another surgery 3 months later another surgery then it got to the point where it was every month a surgery then it got to a point where it would have to be either at a hospital hospital or at a doctor or some type of experiment every week two to three times a week I became a part of a study that to experiment on my body because they had no idea what's going on one day I had a toothache I went to the dentist like normal people do and he tried to numb my face and it didn't work so he gave me more Nova and it still didn't work and he gave me more and more and more and then he eventually told me I think you should donate your scull to science I said this is not good news it just keeps hurting he goes yes but at least the science people science people will benefit my body for some reason doesn't like drugs so it they don't work very well but the point is is that this was all different signs from Hashem Hashem is trying to wake you up first he sends you a text message then he calls you then maybe an email then he sends you a letter in a mail eventually somebody knocks on the door eventually he comes himself depends how long depends how much of an akan you are how stubborn you are I was very stubborn don't tell anybody though so Hashem had to come himself one surgery two surgeries three surgeries four five six keep counting every month a different surgery no surgeries related to the the one before that's the best part of it no one understood why I had a surgery last month because it's not connected to the one month after but then one day it got to a point where I had a surgery and this one was different sometimes you go through difficulty and you have this feeling inside everything's going to be okay you have this feeling you go to some difficult time you have this like Assurance this even if it's false you have this like it's going to be okay it's going to be okay honey it's going to be okay I didn't feel that I felt the opposite one time we came to this hospital and when I saw the doctor's face I realized it's not going to be okay and I thought oh this is the one I'm going to sleep I'm not waking up what do you do there's only one thing to do you start crying to Hashem even though you didn't do anything he said until now so my wife is there my mom is there and they're all crying what my mom says is T I'm like what am I gonna do with this T he says talk to Hashem I said okay so give me the T then why' you give it to me last time so I started reading T and I'm crying hysterical and I'm saying goodbye do you ever hear your mom tell you a quote from a Tor as if she heard it from Mount Si that says yes the salvation of hasem comes in the blink of an eye well sometimes that happens when does it happen when you call hasem one time a person was a big business man he had a lot of money on ships and one day he was with his Rabbi and Kaa and someone comes into the Kaa and says I'm sorry to tell you your ship it's gone the guy got a heart attack died they threw some water on his face they slapped him they punched him this they brought him back to life the rabbi tell him don't worry everything's going to be okay he goes what do you mean Rabbi how do you know it's going to be okay I know the shift didn't sink goes rabbi you have you have prophecy goes no I know Torah says hem doesn't give you a test that you cannot overcome if you died that means you can't overcome it if you died that means you can't overcome it so I know the ship is somewhere and eventually that's what happened they found the ship hasem will give you a test that you can handle if you can't handle it that means he's not going to give it to you which means that if you have a test in your life that means that Hashem knows for sure you can handle it I got to a point where I couldn't handle it I went into the surgery I woke up from the surgery which was a surprise by itself and the doctor told me we have good news and we have bad news I said okay good news is we didn't do the surgery I said okay great so when I get the feeling back to the rest of my body you mean I'm not going to have pain they said yes I said great that's great news what's the bad news oh the bad news is we have no idea what's wrong with you this was my life for seven years eventually I started realizing that the only thing that actually ever work was talking to Hashem but what do you do so I started going to here and there but still living my life the way I did trying to recover the business trying to recover trying to do things whatever I thought was good I would do only problem is that I didn't have anybody telling me the truth so there's just so much you can do without knowing you don't know what right what's right you don't know what's left you go to sh you hear the rabbi if he says keep Shabbat you'll keep Shabbat if he doesn't see keep Shabbat you're not going to keep Shabbat and even if he says keep Shabbat you have to tell me why should I keep Shabbat don't just tell me keep it one of my dog you're going to train me give me a reason why oh if you don't keep you go to G okay I'll keep it now I'll keep it why you told told me the cost you told me there's a price a lot of people don't like that sometimes I mention my sh things that are very scary like G and kafak and all types of things that are in the Tor people don't like to hear it because it's scary the problem is that it's very much a living part of the tah that's necessary for you to know if it wasn't necessary for you to know then hasem wouldn't put it in the toah how do I know because when we were at Mount saai and I say we because it was our there Hashem gave us the Ten Commandments the first two Commandments he said out loud and then the next eight he gave it to mosenu one-onone why theim say that after he said the first commandment the level of Kus that he had in his voice was so scary to us we all died he brought us back to life and he said the second commandment we died again he brought us back to life and before he started the third command we said to Moshe you go up there and listen to him and do what it whatever he wants to do you do it we're not we're going to do and then we'll listen we're going to do and then we'll listen meaning we'll just do whatever why because if he continues talking we're going to die how do we know we're going to die because we died twice so what did M say to oh no no don't worry he's just scaring you to death so you don't sin meaning that scaring a person is a necessary tool in life if you look at the Forbes 500 list of the richest people in the world if you ever look into their own bios or interviews that they have most of them have a very common fear that common fear that the average billionaire has that's irrational to us is to be broke to lose all their money that's the biggest fear to be homeless meaning a person that has 30 40 50 billion dollars which to lose that kind of money you have to do it on purpose and still probably won't be able to do it Their Fear is a fear that even us regular people don't have to be homeless they're afraid of being homeless they're afraid of losing everything why because that's the gauge that they have to have in order to reach high level of success they have a high level of fear of the exact opposite if I told you that if you the next time you drive on the road here if you drive too fast you'll get a ticket some will drive too fast some may not but if I say next person that drives fast I'm going to send him to jail for years no one's going to drive fast in fact some people going to start walking why the price has changed the price has changed once you know the price everything changes if you know if it's a ticket okay I can risk a ticket because I'm in a hurry but if it's jail time I'll just walk I'll ride a horse I'll ride a horse I'll be a cowboy for a day why the it's too expensive meaning that it's very very important for us to know the price of our the price of especially especially sins because if we knew that when a Jew violates Shabbat he's destroying his owna meaning that he has no share OFA meaning that according to Al is considered a go him and the Arab are not considered the same the Arab is considered higher because if the Arab you use him in a kosher kitchen you could eat his food but the Jew that violate Shabbat you can't use because if he touches the if he cooks the food it's t you can't eat it this is a very serious problem these are things I didn't know I didn't know the price so when the rabbis didn't tell me and I didn't search enough eventually hasem had to tell me but eventually I started looking and after enough tears hasem sent me a message how he sent me a person that was willing to tell me the answers but only after I got to a point where I couldn't handle anymore one day my mom was calling different rabbis to try to ask him for a she calls a wrong number in Israel and the woman on the other side of the phone ends up being my cousin she called different country wrong phone number but ended up being a cousin ended up being a relative and this relative happens to be the only person that could actually help why because her brother is by name of Rim so she called rim and rim said does he speak Hebrew can I speak to him directly or do I need to speak to you said yeah you could speak to him but he probably won't speak to you doesn't speak to anybody anymore so she gave my she gave my phone number but again how do you start this conversation they continue talking I happen to call her on the other line she's hysterical crying I'm in the middle of a conversation with her I have no idea why she's crying and she's saying talk to him talk to him and I said who why are you crying and who's this person talk to a FR said just stop crying and I'll talk to whoever you want I'll talk to mashia if you want just stop crying the worst thing in the world is to hear your mom cry sry calls me and we start talking he tells me some nice stories about the T I ask him a question he gives me an answer with a source and a tah and who asked the same question 800 years ago or 300 years ago or 500 years ago and I was baffled at how he knew all this stuff and we had another conversation the next week another conversation the next week and every week we would have this conversation I would ask him questions he would give me answers and eventually got to a point where every Thursday at 4:00 we would have this conversation for seven hours straight seven hours of questions which means that any question you asked I probably asked it because eventually you run out of your own question start [Music] asking other people's questions I figured he has answers might as well ask the questions eventually I started realizing that the more aners I get the more I realize that my life is one big sh one big lie because now I have answers and the answers contradict my life so I started changing my life little by little I started doing more and more of what Hashem wanted and little by little my life changed now initially the health problems stayed the same the money problems got worse but you still keep going why because it doesn't make a difference anymore once you have the truth living a lie is not a possibility anymore it's not it's not an option people ask all the time how come such and such person went off the D such and such person became not religious thear has an answer the answer is he was never on the there's no such thing as a person living a kosher life that goes off it's impossible they could look really religious they could have a beard that sweeps the floor they have a keeper that covers the sky it doesn't mean anything that's just looks looks are deceiving the only thing that makes a person religious is their actions what's in their heart what's in their mouth what's in their what's their beliefs do the two match if a person says one thing and does something else the Tor says in their lips in their mouth they respected me they honored me but in their hearts they were far away from me a lot of people speak one thing they do something else which means that when a person goes off the D It's not that he went off like it just breaking news to Heaven no it's same thing he's been off the death the whole time but he's been pretending for you folks the whole time hasem knew the whole time he was off his heart was somewhere else the whole time he was thinking about girls he was thinking about aod he was thinking about McDonald's he was thinking about sports he was thinking about everything else but he felt constricted by the religious community ah if I go to McDonald's they're going to say something and then they're not going to want to marry me they're not going to want to marry my kids they're going to throw us out of school so really he's not scared of Hashem he's scared of the community eventually he gets sick of the community he says you know what I'll find a new community I'll find a new community and that's what they do meaning he never left the he was never on she never left the she was never on this means that cha is an obligation for every single one of us whether you're in the religious community or outside and the reason why is because many of us have a part of us that's off the d a little bit all of us have a little bit of saf a little doubt of why we're not on why we're not serving hem more why we're not learning toah every day why it's only once in a while why it's only 15 minutes and not 20 minutes and not an hour and so on and so forth all of us have some type of doubts what I've been trying to do over the last five or six years is try to help people's doubts try to answer any question that they have now to finalize my point then I'll open it for questions and answers because I think your questions will probably more interesting than my answers is that we have a holiday coming up holiday of kanuka we also have had what the go call a holiday last week Thanksgiving I don't know if it's a epidemic in Canada or not but in America we have this epidemic where Jews want to celebrate go holidays now since whenever somebody discovers the truth the lie like I said is no longer an option how do you know you discovered the truth when the LIE becomes disgusting to you if McDonald still looks delicious that means you haven't discovered the truth yet if going out with a woman that's not your wife is still looks okay to you that means that you haven't really discovered the truth yet if doing something against hem is still like even a remote possibility in your mind that means there's still a part of you not the whole thing but a part of you 1% 2% 5% 50% depending part of you still is a little bit of like k a little bit like not really likeu it's still some doubt some saake why because if you discover the truth then that means that the opposite is disgusting it's revolting to you it's like a dead animal in the street no one says oh look at the beautiful animal no one says that it's dead the the stomach is in splattered all over the street no one says wow what a beautiful animal no one says that why it's disgusting same thing that a person needs to look at something that's against AEM Shalom one time went to visit a king for the sake of am is and the King was a great king and he thought that the Jews are like go so what did he do he sent three prostitutes to the hotel of RAB AKA thinking that he's honoring the rabbi the next few hours came and all of the prostitutes ran to to the king screaming their lungs out what happened what happened he goes where'd you send us to what's the matter with with this person he goes what he goes the whole time he's throwing up in the corner the whole time so the king took was taking back goes what maybe what happened so he went to R AK he goes I'm sorry I'm sorry they were ugly they didn't like them what what happened AA continued throwing up throwing up in the corner he goes wa what what what happened why are you throwing up so much you hate something not good he goes when you see something disgusting what do you expect other than throwing up meaning R saw the saw the truth to such an extent that IM modesty a woman wearing a short skirt a woman going out in a immodest way speaking in IM modest way became so disgusting to him that he started throwing up physically to get to become such a holy person so when you see something that is for Hashem you try to celebrate when you see something that's against theem you try to wake other people up because it's disgusting but sometimes they don't smell it and the reason why is because sometimes when a person is inside the garbage he doesn't realize it's garbage that's why the rat eats the food in the garbage he doesn't realize it's garbage he's part of it sometimes we get so deep ins inside the garbage we become part of it we don't realize it's garbage so this epidemic we have in America is that it's become okay to be a and I don't mean the secular people like I was most of my life I mean the religious people I mean that it's very normal and actually advocated and celebrated for Jewish communities to celebrate Thanksgiving Fourth of July and other celebrations of the gim in almost every single betet on Shabbat they talk politics what do you think Trump did what do you think he should do what did he do what about his tie what about his wife what about his daughter do you think she's really Jewish do you think a husband is Jewish are they Shabbat are they what do you care why do you care do you think Trump is asking about you what about the Jewish Community are they have Manan in this besset is it reform or is it Orthodox is it this wait think Trump is asking about you you're asking so many questions about him is he asking about you I don't understand people every Jew became a politician every Jew is a politician no I think you should increase taxes no you're crazy lower taxes no but China owes us too much all this all this stuff all this nonsense inside the bitet why we forgot that we're surrounded by garbage so we became part of it so when I mentioned last week that I've mentioned it before but I did a whole clip about it 30 minute clip explaining to people that if you celebrate Thanksgiving on a regular basis you're going against the Torah in multiple ways and even the people that want to use some type of leniency that ra Moshe finstein mentioned 40 years ago they're not even reading it the right way and it's not allowed even according to his opinion and so on and so forth now you would think that all of the secular people that celebrate even Christmas would call me and say you're crazy you're racist you're this you're that no as a matter of fact the secular people said you know what what you're saying is true what you're saying is true Jews should not be celebrating Thanksgiving Jews should not be celebrating non-jewish holidays we have plenty of our own who went against it the religious people which religious people some rabbis they call me they say oh what are you doing you're you're turning people off of Judaism I said how by telling them not to celebrate go holidays if that's turning them off the biggest turn off for me is when you see that sometimes a Jew is more excited about eating a turkey with his non-jewish friends then he is about kanuka a Jewish holiday and the reason why is because even though kanuka is a holiday that every Jew likes to celebrate even the most secular Jews the Jews that are completely disconnected they love kanuka why doesn't obligate you at all what do you eat some donuts play with the drle have some fire have some friends over great if we put auk here we have kanuka already today early well who's better than you it's kanuk greatest thing in the world everybody loves kanuka but that's because they don't know that kanuka is actually the most religious holiday of the year kanuka is more religious than yum Kip kanuka is more religious than PES kanuka is more religious than any holiday that you could ever imagine and the reason why is because if it wasn't for kanuka we would not have a Torah today a couple of thousand years ago a couple of fanatic religious Jews decided that even though there's only a handful of them they still need to fight for the Amit so they decided to fight for the even though the rest of am is did not really care so much and because they fought for it hasem gave him the the help from Heaven to to win the war and because of that our entire oral Tora today everything you see in thear everything you see in the mishna which is the basis of our entire oral Torah which is basically our entire Torah without the oral Tor the written Tor would be illegible we wouldn't be able to read it the entire oral tah is from theim that came after kanuka meaning that before there were many there were many there were many prophets but we don't have their Torah what do we have we have RAB AKA Rim all of these Giants when were they all around after kanuka so that's why theim know that kanuka is the is the holiday that saved the oral tah which without it the written tah would be impossible to read now why did kanuka why did we get such a big test because at one point the most religious people in is theim the ones that worked in the bet mikdash they decided that doing they don't have to do all of them just some of them let's do modesty we don't have to be really modest we'll be some time of modesty like you know sometimes these women they go to be they cover their hair but the rest of the week they walk around like they're half naked she's outside of you would think she works for a bar why no that's where hem is so hashm is nowhere else if Hashem is only in the stay there why would you go anywhere else if he's only in neet why would you ever leave a place left and if he's everywhere else then how could you look like that everywhere else mean meaning if we think about it sometimes we don't make sense the Quan didn't make sense even though they were the most religious of the nation and they started becoming modern Orthodox they started short changing certain mitv modesty but not 100% mitvah but not 100% Tor but not 100% it's not they became reformed they didn't start driving on Shabbat they didn't start eating pig no no they didn't do things like that they just started short changing certain mitv and not wanting to do it 100% Hashem saw this Hashem brought the test why once you start cutting AEM short you start lowering the Tor you start lowering the MIT it's only a matter of time before we become green it's only a matter of time because a Jew is either going up in spirituality or going down he cannot stay neutral he cannot stay one level this is one of the most important things that we need to celebrate on hanuka the fact that we're trying to grow we're trying to do something if you want to do a big mitah learn T is good but even without kanuk you can eat you can eat all year round the men is also good but if it was just for the men there wouldn't be holidays there wouldn't be any kanuka why because the Min we can live without the Torah we can't the only thing that defines us as Jews is a toah this is the most important thing that a Jew needs to know in this generation because this generation is very very confused people don't know what the EM is they don't know anything what I try to do is to bring the EMT to people sometimes it's because they're looking for it sometimes it's because hasm is looking for them so I want you guys to ask me some questions to see if there's something that's been bothering you for a very long time that if you will have the answer maybe it would make you closer to hasem and then I'll show you what the questions are and I'll explain to you what I try to do with these questions but you had a question before but go ahead ask again so they hear you and the they don't know they don't think it's just me kab they accept it not flashy said short it's okay okay your op so the question is some rabbis accept the accept the wig as something that's allowed in Judaism and some rabbis say it's not allowed now you said before the sh that you've never seen any of my sh so the reason why I specifically mentioned that is because anyone that has seen my sh knows that I'm actually very softspoken about the subject so here's the answer now in the original debate about About Wigs begins and say what if a woman has a uh bolt spot she has a bolt spot can she put something there yes she can put some hair there from a tail of a horse or uh some type of uh replacement of hair but she must cover it with a hat and the two have to be tied to each other meaning you have to sew the hair to the Hat why because if she just wore the hat and it wasn't sewed together she would take off the hat and show people our hair and that's it's not allowed but if they're SE together she would never take off the hat because then she would put show people her nakedness her her uh her B Spot no woman in their right mind would ever do such a thing that that's where the original debate starts a couple thousand years ago but originally the whole argument was is a woman allowed to wear hair or not and the answer was yes as long as it's covered with a hat with a with something meaning you're never supposed to just walk around with just the hair itself and even though the hair in those days a couple thousand years ago was like a Lea was something that you would see from a mile away it's not real hair still you were never allowed to show such hair now about 400 years ago one came out and Confused the world and said no you're allowed in his opinion you're allowed to just walk around without the Hat just the wig itself again keep in mind that 400 years ago the wigs of that day look nothing like the wigs of today the wigs of today look better than real hair and the reason why is because it is real hair just without the dandruff the lice the problems the gray hairs and all that but anyway 400 years AG gay came out confused the world said yes but most of theim throughout the generations when against them but it became a uh over the last hundred or so years it became pretty much common that aazim many of them didn't voice their opinion even said it's allowed to wear a wig on the other hand said it's forbidden 100% with the exceptions of a few cases now most people think that it's most of the ashaz in history that said it's allowed and that's the mistake we have I have a list with me and the reason why I said this is is because who comes with a list I have a list with me of 127 of the biggest Po in history of that spoke and wrote about the subject Pim meaning the the the biggest rabbis in history oh the exception of a few posim that in in the spartic world a few PIM in the Safar World said it's allowed also but most of them say it's not allowed most of the pkim in a sapharic world say it's not allowed not allowed to wear a wig but the reality is that most of the ashkanazi Pim also say it's not allowed to wear a wig now this is not the conclusion I'm giving you all the background so you know where we're at today I'm painting you a picture and then I'm going to destroy the entire picture so now the picture is that most people think that all of that asazi Pim said it's allowed all the Safari Pim say it's not allowed this is not true in fact most of the Pim ashkanazi and Safari say it's not allowed only a few exceptions say it is allowed namely the labi was the biggest advocate of wigs but the one thing that no one ever said it's allowed is the modesty that came with it after meaning the the actual wigs that they said were allowed were very different than the wigs of today but today's wigs make every woman whether she's 20 or 90 look like she's 20 and just came off the Runway sometimes they act as if they're still on the runway with that and make sure that you know that the hair is Flowing With the Wind now to win this argument is impossible why ashkanazi is going to tell you listen I like you you're a nice guy your story is entertaining but I have my Rabbi I have my Rabbi he's asazi he says it's allowed you do your thing I do my thing the Safari is going to tell me listen I'm Safari but there's a couple of that I like also and there's even a couple of that says I like them also I'm GNA hold by them so that's why the M the debate between the two side is a complete waste of time I still had to tell you this because you're going to hear it somewhere else now I say that wigs are forbidden for a different reason it has nothing to do with Safar has nothing to do with it now I have a list with me I'm going to show anyone that's interested 127 P all the way from the time of yonatan benel 2 200 years ago to the V to biggest Po in history not like no name rabbis all the biggest people you've ever heard in history they said it's not allowed but let's ignore as if they didn't say it let's just pretend they didn't say it and the local kabad Rabbi is more important than the VNA go and the local Rabbi that you like from the Safari Community is more important than yanel that was able to create fire just from studying tah let's pretend they're better let's pretend we have to find Unity Unity right Unity is important we have to find a unified opinion something everyone agrees before I left the business world I found the unified opinion before I even knew what the unified opinion was part of my job in the business world was doing research I would do research on businesses you gave me a business you give me any business I could tell you exactly how much it's worth and whether it's going to succeed or fail I could tell you we should sell it you should buy it so on and so forth this is part of what I did because in order to invest you have to know what you're talking about funny thing is I can build other people's businesses better than mine but nonetheless I would do research on different Industries different economies and so on and so forth I could identify red flags I was able to uncover several companies that were cooking the books a couple of Ponzi schemes unfortunately no one wants to listen anyway so people still invest and lose money I told a person that if he invest in this company that told him that they're going to be the next Disneyland he'll lose every single penny because they're both thieves he didn't listen and he lost every penny I told investor this one company was cooking the books they didn't want to listen so they lost the money meaning that people would want advice until they don't like it it doesn't agree with the pre-existing opinion but anyway at one point I did some research and I looked into the hair industry for some random reason at the time I thought it's a random reason and I found out that the hair industry has grown drastically and the reason why is because there is a place in the world where you can get the best hair in the world meaning the best quality hair in the world there's hair everywhere if you go to half Africa Israel America there's hair everywhere that's one thing that doesn't stop growing even after you die there's hair everywhere hair and nails doesn't stop growing and your ears but anyway the but anyway the thing is though is that this is something you can find anywhere but everything in the world costs money if I want to buy a jacket it cost money if I buy a jacket from Paris it'll cost me a certain price I buy it from New York a different price I buy it from Armani cost a different price buy it from clothes out different price meaning the quality makes a difference now what if I told you you could buy the best the best of the best there's nothing better and not only that it's free it's the best and it's free you tell me it's already too good to be true I said okay you know what I'm going to add even more I'm going to give you the best and not only is it's free not only is it's free but it's so abundant I have so much of it it doesn't matter how much you order I'll always be able to meet the demand this any normal businessman says where do I sign where do I sign I'm going to sell my house I'm going to sell my kids I'm going to sell my wife I'm going to invest everything into this business why it's the greatest business in the world now if you go to Cambodia and you want to buy some hair you can get some hair but if you have a big store you're not going to be able to buy as much as you want why because it's a limited Supply if you go to Brazil you can buy some hair but even though they tell you it's from Brazil it really it's not still let's say you believe it's from Brazil you can't buy as much as you want let's say you go to Paris or you go to Italy and you find a bunch of homeless people that want to sell their hair and you convince a bunch of them to sell their hair still you're limited you cannot Supply the market there's only one place in the world that can supply the market and that place is India now here's the problem with getting the hair from India in India it's part of their religion to donate their hair to I Idols meaning that their hair becomes aan becomes a sacrifice to an idol and that means that you can have all of India donate the hair but you're still not allowed to use it and the reason why is because the Torah tells us and all opinions agree there's no asazi Safari here it doesn't make a difference Torah tells us as soon as something became a part of idolatry you're no longer allowed to enjoy it no no longer you're not allowed to eat it you're not allowed to sell it you're not allowed to enjoy it in any way shape or form where do we learn it from in several places in the T talks about it extensively but there's one M that most of you have heard by Yeshua Yeshua that took over after mosu went into the land of Israel the first thing that Hashem told him after circumcising all of am is and fighting the wars what did he tell them he told them destroy all the trees what the trees do what the trees uh did something he said no somebody worshiped these trees okay somebody worshiped them but they're not here anymore once somebody worshiped the tree that tree has no right to exist the only Mitzvah you can fulfill with something that was used for idolatry is destroy it you're not allowed to do anything with it not to sell it even if it's a diamond that's worth Infinity amount of money that you you can buy and build a million a million yes you're still not allowed to do it the only thing you're allowed to do is destroy it why because idolatry is the epitome of the opposite of hem it's you've replaced everything which is AEM with nothing so to enjoy the nothing instead of Hashem is it's the biggest insult in the world spitting in hashem's face so now in India they have not only people donating their hair but they have over a billion people in India meaning it's one of the biggest populations in the world of where which the average Indian after we did research donates their hair three times in their life meaning that every year no less than just children alone just children we're not counting adults yet just children alone which from them comes the best hair no less than 20 5 million children get their hair shaved off their head as part of their birthday celebration at 3 years old like we do as a but they shave their head for the adults shave their head for different reasons for a now once you have one two three people donating their hair you can build a market from that but when you have between 25 to 60 million people donating their hair every single year that creates a market in fact that is the market and that's why anyone that does honest research about real hair wigs will know for sure that over 90% of the hair the real hair wigs in the world come from idol worship come from a which means that it doesn't make a difference if you ashkanazi or or or or you could be an alien doesn't make a difference if you want to serve AEM you're not allowed to enjoy even if you're a go even the non Jew is not allowed to do it so here is the closing argument you want to serve AEM you cannot wear a real hair wig now what about the synthetic we also did some research on that after testing some synthetic wigs the average synthetic wig has approximately 3% real hair in it why because there's so much there such an abundance of real hair from India that it's actually cheaper than synthetic even though you buy the wig in the the wig store it's $2,000 then they sell the same hair for $30 why because over here you're willing to pay 2,000 so we'll sell it to you for 2,000 so you're willing to be a sucker over here over here you're not willing to be a sucker so we'll pay $30 for it meaning it all depends on whatever you want to buy whatever you want to pay we'll charge you for that that's that's the reality why because there's just so much of it so synthetic wigs you cannot unfortunately rely on that either because you don't need the whole wig to be from a it needs to be one hair a single hair on the wig is from idolatry already the whole wig is asso now what about if the store and the panit the wig maker tells you no no no look the sticker says it's from Brazil the sticker says from Cambodia the sticker says it's from uh China sticker says it's from Gom wherever you want it to be it's not it's not from India well anyone that knows a little bit of business knows that anytime in in in merchant in merchant banking you learn about what businesses do in Investments you learn about what businesses do and you know that every time you take goods from one country and you move them to another country let's say for example I wanted the jacket but the people that make the buttons are real experts but they're not in the same country they're not in Italy they're in China so I'm going to send the jacket to China now as soon as I send the jacket to China they put the now they change the sticker from made in Italy to made in China even though originally the jacket was made in Italy doesn't make a difference now it made change the sticker made in China but now he said no no but I want to I want it to be made in Italy so what do I do I send them back to Italy put another string on it put another string on it and now it's made in Italy again now it's made in Italy again every time you change a place ashore and there's something that work done the sticker changes so when you see the wig that says made in Brazil made in Cambodia made in gu made in wherever you wanted to make it means nothing all it means they added one hair from somewhere over there and they're calling it by that country and the reason the proof of that is that even if you go and ask the people in Brazil do you have people that donate their hair they're going to start laughing in your face why because the Brazilians would rather commit suicide than shave their head now they said no no but my wig came from England or it came from uh from uh France do you see any French people walking around with bald heads meaning there if if there was enough people to supply the market you would see millions and millions of French people walking around with bald heads there is no such thing but there is such a thing in India there are millions and millions of bald people in India you do find it over there and nowhere else last question in regards to the wigs that people going to say is what about the kosher certification there's rabbis there rabbis that put a kosher stamp there's a kosher stamp in Israel there's a kosher stamp in America there's a kosher stamp in a lot of things well like I said to have a beard doesn't mean that much it's free even a t even a goat has one doesn't mean that you're going to say the truth Co should ification doesn't actually mean anything is kosher it just means that this business being done that's all it means when something is impossible to kosher eyes it doesn't make a difference to kosher stamp it's impossible to kosher eyes a wig impossible and the reason why is because in order for a wig to be kosher that means that you have to monitor the hair that's being shaved from three women because every hair every P every wig is three heads not one to one it's not one to one equivalent it's three heads why because the wig if you notice it why is it so beautiful because all of the hair is the same length so obviously no woman has all of her hair same length some is long some is short some is gray some is bad some is good so they take three heads they take the best of the best of the three heads and they make it into one wig so now you're not going to have one wig from one head you're going to have three heads but that means that the factory has to monit to the hair from the time they shave it from three separate women all the way through they go on the next head of the next person which is an impossible process why because if you actually go online and look at the actual manufacturing that's done the all the things that go through that the hair goes through it's impossible to ever track even a single hair from the time it's taken off of somebody's head all the way until it arrives to somebody else even a single hair not a whole wig Just One Hair you can't track if you can't can't track it you can't use it if let's say for example I told you listen you know the meat that you're you're buying I believe it's kosher you tell me okay what's your proof well I saw the cow I looked at I said you think you're going to be a kosher cow and the cow said yeah I'm going to be a kosher cow course you going to let the guy you know Slaughter you without giving any problems no problems and I saw that uh they saw each other and the cow looked at the and it winked its eye and I left I said oh I'm relying on this C this cow is reliable and I leave and eventually the steak arrives at your house say oh this came from the same cow I say yes how do you know I don't know meaning it's it's it's a demented argument without following the whole process how they slaughter the cow to make sure it's the same exact cow to make sure that the cow after it's slaughtered it was checked what's inside whether it's sick whether it's not sick whether the lungs were punctured you can't just decide oh just because this cow is this way that means the rest of it is going to work out okay you can't just decide that just because one step is good the rest of it is good to make takes over a thousand a thousand different steps to make kosher food that you eat has an enormous amount of eyes monitoring the cow or the sheep or whatever animal is being slaughtered from the time it's being literally born until it arrives on your plate on Shabbat enormous amount of eyes every single step if at one point somebody missed something what do they do they sell it to kalal to the Arabs that's why every next door has kalal every time you see a sh every time you see a butcher next door there's always or down the street there's always kalal why everything that's not Kosher they sent to him that's where because they also slaughter their their their animals but they don't have the same rules like we do so they buy our non kosher because for them it's for them it's still okay for them it doesn't make a difference if the animal suffered or anything like that so but for us as is if we miss one step we're not allowed to eat it even though it's one bite even though it's one sandwich hasem says if you eat it you become you become impure by eating one sandwich that's not Kosher so if you become non kosher by eating non kosher one time what do you think about what you become if you put a on your head all the time not just one time all the time so this it doesn't make a difference what your Rabbi or his Rabbi or that Rabbi said if someone can prove without any doubt that their wig came from a kosher place for sure without a doubt and you want to rely on the leniency that's your risk but at least you have something to rely on but until you have that there's nothing to rely on other than gambling your whole eternity on this so now you're going to tell me last but not least yeah but there's probably more religious women wearing these wigs big rabbit sins that are very holy what you're telling me that they're all part of this idolatry yes yes that's exactly what I'm telling you yes that's exactly they're not doing it on purpose but yes yes that's part of it now where is there where is there a source in the that that raban is making a mistake and then I'll open to more questions my wife sh said but is it true I about sh yes it's true so why are you not doing it shalom shalom okay so for Shalom B we make Hemm an enemy that's a it's a new it's a new it's a new Theory he's not meal I can tell you that meal maybe at home there's but not not means that you're above and beyond the law you're doing something that's if you're let's say for example you do one you do two if you keep Shabbat 24 hours he keep Shabbat 26 hours that's does above and beyond what's necessary even more than aid but if you tell me no no I'm going to violate a law because I don't want my wife to yell at me now I'm not judging anyone but again everyone has to understand there's black there are certain things in toat that are black and white there are certain things that are black and white and there are certain things that are gray that both this and this are right until recent there was until recent discovery that we brought to light over the last two years people had some level of argument to say you know what I'm going to rely on thee on the that said you're allowed to wear a wig as long as it's modest like you said as long as it's modest it's not like one of those that reaches the floor it's modest I can rely on it because I'm asazi fine now you have nothing to rely on you have nothing to rely on why because unless you can confirm that every single strand of hair that you have on top of your head came from a kosher place not from India you have nothing to rely on there's a book that some that we work with in Israel came out with recently we uh published it online a few months ago it's 240 Pages anyone that wants to read it it's in Hebrew but anyone that's wants to read it it's available it's free there's one that they actually printed a hard copy with pictures with pictures huh there's one oh okay with pictures serious book it's for it's for serious that want to see the truth the point is is that in reality we never really have an excuse to wear a wig in reality but let's say let's say you wanted to do it and you wanted to use the leniency now hasem is telling us now you don't even have that so because of that my he says that this is one of the things that Shalom who fought against the wigs said that the mashia is going to come when going to start do for so I figured that since I'm already coming to Canada maybe I'll help some women do so I brought some so whoever wants some you get it for free from anyone that wants to take a of we brought you a from please whenever any of you oh but also there's one thing married only if you're married yes but also also there is one condition don't let the rabbis fool you again Shalom used to tell us all the time something very important you don't have to unless you're married and unless you have a head if you're not married or you don't have a head you don't have to but as long as you're married and you have a head you have to have K so anyone that wants that has a head and has a husband a for them this this or our cameras okay okay the other thing I brought for so you don't think I'm pi on the women and obviously I didn't know you're going to ask this question so you see that's the other thing you don't see that you don't think that I'm picking on on the women only I brought for the men anyone that wants to take a mitvah anyone that wants to be a Jew and wants a mitzvah for every second every second that they're alive they want to take mitvah you want mitvah oh okay so last but not least about he's reminding me of something about the the wigs and then I'll answer the questions there was a scientist that became a rabbi that had a uh special camera that he developed which is a camera that can read your aura anyone that ever heard of what the or theil D which is the colors around your body which show give a impression of your state of being whether you're holy or not holy whether you're pure or not pure mad and so on and so forth so he discovered something very very interesting is that once a man puts Onin his Aura changes color to a very special holy status either purple or white white being Practically Perfect purple being near perfect now if he took out the cloth if he took out the scroll from theine then that person's status drops to worse than normal meaning if his normal status was yellow he now became closer to black meaning he terrible terrible condition why because he has fake fine on just a uh just a leather without the actual Torah in it now he discovered something interesting he said when a woman puts on a she has the same Aura status as a man that's putting on same status and he has this on you there's a video online that I I could send to you you can see this with your own it's actually in the book that I brought it's actually in the house I'll show you it's in the book it shows a woman with a our Aura status is very high it's the same as a a Jew that puts on Kos what about a wig a woman that puts on a wig her status is the same thing as fakeing any wig apparently he knew the Ora the the camera knew before we knew so anyone that wants please let me know I have it for you brought plenty of them yes divorc women um Shalom said that a woman should not go down in Kusa should not go down in Kusa uh because once you take on a you shouldn't go down but if it creates major issues for her to create to get a there are some leniencies that you could rely on that you can go back to having a uh having a wig are having something that's lower than a thing but again the wig itself is not Kosher now so we'd have to replace it with something else she can uncover she could uncover right here though yeah but I mean again this is this is a uh it's not it's not so P it's not such a simple answer to give because you're never supposed to lower in Kusa you're never supposed to lower in Kusha so if if you do something you already did something good you shouldn't lower it huh's not married again like I said it's not it's not such a simple thing to just tell women okay you're not married so therefore you should lower your mitv because for many women I know for example for my wife she's so connected to she sleeps with it so some women get so close to they they feel the Thea that comes from their whether it's they reading or the or the or just sending the kids to whatever mitvah that she really connects to that every time she does it she feels she's closer to Hashem so a person that feels closeness to hasem doesn't want to stop so if that closeness is coming from putting she obviously wouldn't want to stop it so you shouldn't tell her listen you should stop it because the your husband is a fool and left you uh you should stop uh doing it so if she wants to continue wearing it she should and in fact uh in general she should and try to find a z with with it I have several students that are in that status that got divorced and are still wearing a and they're still going onim and still looking for Mr Wonderful but that hasn't stopped theim uh yes there was somebody over here before you guys somebody over here was asking a question before that I told him I'll answer it okay I have a several letters here oh sorry oh it's Thanksgiving no worries not to sure no but made that's that's the history about Thanksgiving really history yeah history of Thanksgiving all three lines yeah yeah it's a history of how the Americans killed a bunch of Indians that's the history of Thanksgiving uh I have many letters here about uh the wigs and things of that nature the Pim I have a letter from Shalom that says that if an a uh says that he wants a woman that wears a wig wi only then the should be cancelled he a uh I have a picture of um ofi the current burning some wigs you know after the information came out that it's all coming from idolatry this is the biggest Rabbi in the world today by all opinions he's burning some wigs it's not for fun he has better things to do with his life than burning wigs but like I told you the Mitzvah of destroying a wig is a mitvah from the earning idolatry I have a uh plenty of information for anyone that wants to see it some with me some on the internet I could send you I have some poim that wrote that uh signed a letter uh saying that you're not allowed to wear wigs there was actually an article that came out two weeks ago from uh AA sat K which was uh wigs for them was standard but uh at some point but they actually made it a suck that any woman that wears a wig is not allowed in B in New York and M New York is not allowed in besset this happened two weeks ago so the news the news is coming out people that want to do chuva are finding a way to do it people that don't want to do chuva are finding an excuse to do it so I have to look to all these letters but I'll look for it and I'll give it to you um no if this is she so said that if somebody wants to go on Aid a woman wants to go on a and she asked I have a that I'm gonna meet somebody learns to all the time but his condition is that I wear a wig after we get married okay so a woman asked should I continue going a with a man that says that the only way he would get married is if I put on a wig says that he is aash canel the and even said it on on uh on video that he's considered like which is a person that has no share of the why but then they asked him another question they asked them okay but the guy the guy found the woman the guy found a woman and she says listen I'm interested in getting married but I'm only going to get married if you let me wear wig and they asked and R says marry her so this contradicts this contradicts why is it contradict so now if the woman wants to Mar wants to wear a wig it simply means she has a yet which is something that the husband could influence over time if she loves him enough and he teaches her about enough about hem eventually she will take off the wig and put on a so you shouldn't cancel the but if the man wants the woman to wear a wig that means that he's aash that means that he wants to look at pretty women he doesn't want he doesn't want to get married that means that he has a has nothing to do with his wife he wants to justify when a man wants a woman to wear a wig that means that he wants to justify him looking at other women why I'll I'll explain to you the logic because right now today who are the biggest Advocates of wigs believe it or not it's not women it's men why now obviously one side is the business there's a billion billions of dollars in the in the business but not everybody's in the wig business why do men want wigs because I'm telling you as a man not even as a rabbi anyone that understands a little bit of psychology psychology of a man versus psychology of a woman knows that it's sh they're very very different a woman looks at a man she looks at his personality like oh he looks funny he looks angry he looks generous she thinks about personality Char character traits a man looks at a woman he looks like a cattle oh I could do this I could do that he doesn't think about any personality cares less about personality that's the nature that's the nature of a man nature of a man he looks at a woman as an object that's a reality I'm one of you it's a reality I'm one of you I'm not it's a reality this is why the whole time looking at you and not at them that's the way men are that's the way we're programmed don't tell me you're not because that would mean you don't belong in this world you belong in sh like reality is oh you belong in San franisco with the animals but here men look at women a certain way women look at men a certain way now when a woman wants a wig that means she wants to feel good in the eyes of who in the eyes of men and women women that always like to talk and chitchat about who what she wears what she wears and they're competing amongst each other but men because she wants attention meaning that a woman wants to look good simply because she has less attention than what she needs from a husband if a husband makes her feel amazingly beautiful she will never ever want to wear anything IM modest in her life now when a man wants his wife to wear a wig it's a completely different argument why because now if his wife wears a wig that means that he can look at every other woman without her ever complaining about it why honey I'm not looking at I'm looking at her wig look she has a wig like yours I'm not looking at her uh dress I'm looking the dress is just like yours he's giving himself a get out of free get out of jail free cart to look at every woman in in the world why he doesn't know who has a wig who doesn't have a wig they all look the same in reality he's giving himself a get out of free get out of jail free card to not watch his eyes that's a reality that's psychology that's a it that's why guys are the ones fighting for it and not women women want to fight it but in reality a woman that gets enough attention from my husband and love from my husband she has no problem put initially it's a little difficult unless she gets a little bit of getting used to but ultimately if she loves she loves a husband she'll do it but the man unless he wants to do cha for his eyes start protecting his eyes he's always going to tell his wife no you know what I don't think the looks good on you because look at uh the rabbitson look at this one he's always going to compare it to other women he like wait a minute why you looking at other women T tells says if a man doesn't look at another woman's hair or body if he looks at another woman's pinky if he looks at her hands her hands when when he's giving her a change let's say you do business you do business you have to give somebody change if he decides to give her a change slowly just to make sure that he looks a little bit at our fingers not our hair not our body he just looks at her fingers thear says there's no way that he could avoid going to G he's definitely going to get for what for looking at our fingers and this is not [Music] yes buy online buy online it's a good uh good AR but thisai means that the eyes of a Jew the eyes of a Jew are critical the eyes the mouth the ears of a Jew are critical why because these are some these are the tools that Hashem gave you either to sanctify his name or to desecrate it if you use it your eyes the right way instead of looking at women you're going to look at but if you look at women anytime you look at T you're not going to understand anything if you listen to L anytime you listen to a lecture you're not going to understand anything if you speak L anytime you want to say something you're going to forget it meaning the same tools that Hashem gave you to sanctify hashem's name it's also to desecrator his name so when a man wants a woman his own wife to look attractive for who for Steve and Joe and Wilbur at the supermarket this is a man that obviously doesn't love his life he loves other women but he wants to justify a way to look at other women he can't look at other women if his wife is and she's a little sadik and he's looking at other one why because it's obvious so he said no no no I didn't look at her I wanted to compare her wig against yours you have much nicer wig yeah but what about the other parts that you were looking at no no I wasn't looking I was looking I was just thinking just thinking all you need to know is a little bit of psychology a little bit of psychology human psychology you know the whole thing is no man in his right mind should ever give a single argument to justify and defend the the the wearing of wigs why if you're protecting your eyes you should never even see a wig then there is no it doesn't exist it exists when the women wear if if their wives wear then you have a better chance but if men that look at other women unfortunately that's one of the biggest you have in the Tora why because every single time you look at another woman you start thinking about things in sh you have no idea what they say the considers a man that looks at another woman as if he was with her physically so it's it's not it's not so P to just say it's okay to look at other women the only you have to understand that we when you get married anybody signs a the guy signs his life over and it's not just the money it's his eternity why he's obligated to the woman what is he obligated to do he's obligated to satisfy her physically anytime she wants not the opposite people think it's the opposite now what does that mean aside from the obvious it means that his eyes and mind also belong to her not just his time and his body meaning his eyes and his mind belong to his wife which means that anytime his eyes in his mind are about another woman you have an you're violating the and that's why there's an opinion I believe it's that says if a man thinks of another woman while he's with his wife there's some that say maybe it's a maybe it's not really considered like a legitimate child why he's thinking about another woman he's not really with his wife and says what if a man had a dream you know men have dreams everybody has dreams but he dreamed about somebody else not his wife what could he do he wakes up okay do something not to touch his wife okay better yet what if he dreamt about his wife he dreamt about his wife he says honey I dreamt about you says stay away from your wife now touch your wife until you cool down why whatever woman a man sees in his wife and his dream is not his wife it's it's the Satan's wife who pretends to be his wife why cuz she wants him to waste seed so she creates more demons the point is Judaism is not that have black and white we every single step that you make in your life has significance for eternity oh creates demons you guys oh wow you guys you guys are a good crowd so thear says yeah Satan has a wife you know who she was so so actually I'll tell you this is going to make it a little more complicated but we'll try to keep it simple and get to get going with it but originally Z says that when hasm created he gave him a wife he gave him a wife but the original wife didn't want want to be with she didn't want to be with you're not allow to say her name by the way not allow to say her name Satan's name you can say her name you can't say why you say it see what happens later in the dreams somebody comes it's not him it's her so not allowed to even say her name to that extent originally she was supposed to be the wife of AD but she didn't want to be with she ended up marrying the Satan so now she creates she creates demons what are demons there are certain Creations in the world that you don't see in fact most of it what what's in the world you don't see and the reason why is because if you really saw what's around you you wouldn't survive you would simply go crazy there is AAR that says how do you see those things if you want to and it gives a strategy of how to do it you take a cat you take its stomach you burn it and you do something with that ashes put it on your R and then you ruin your life but there's no way to undo it there's no way to undo it so when one did it he wanted to commit suicide until all of the other that were able to revive the dead they were able to pray for him and they were able to undo it but we don't have such in the world so don't try these tricks at home the point is is that if you really saw what's next to you you would lose your mind and the reason why is because the real world is very very scary why if you ever read you read that says at one point that a thousand on your right 10,000 10,000 on your right a thousand on your left so what does David Mel mean means that there are things on your right side there's things on your left side what are these things these things are creatures that you created What creatures every time you make a Mitzvah you create a Mal you create a angel and his name is the name of that mitvah so for example you ate potato chips if you ate potato chips and you did a of before you ate the potato chips you created an Angel that's going to protect you you can created an Angel that's going to protect you because you ate one potato chip and you did so in sh one day you go up to sh this Angel say no no no he's he's aik why look created me I'm the proof I'm the potato chip I'm the he made in 5779 when y came to Canada and uh they gave David made some potato chips he did I was there I'm the witness I'm the witness I'm he's aik on the other hand if you ate the potato chip you forgot to do you also created an angel but he's not protecting you in fact he's doing the opposite he's going to fight against you he's going to fight against you as long as you're alive why because you created him without a body you created him incomplete and he's called a demon in English now the problem is that when a person goes up to sh this demon goes up to hm and says hm sent up to G he's rash he's terrible person he's the worst person in the world why look what he did to me he created me without an arm he created me without a leg he created me missing a head he's created me with missing parts because he ate without doing a he created a demon now this is a single sin a single mitvah single Angel single a single demon but there are certain that create many on the bad side when a man Wast seed he not creating one demon he's creating hundreds of millions of them because every single seed belongs to a certain demon a certain n and each one of them wants to take revenge against him because he created him without a body and that's why till this day children are not allowed to bury their father they're not allowed to go to the bed why because everyone fears that there's such level ofus that those demons will come and kill the kids at the at the at the cemetery so they're not allowed to bury the father they have they have to stay out of the cemetery why because any seed at the father is wasted throughout his life that time comes when they want to take revenge when they want to take Revenge when they're jealous of the kids when are they jealous of the kids when the kids are burying the father and they're not able to bury the father meaning they're able to do something that they're not able to do so when a man Wast seed he is creating millions of them and that's why anytime a man weighs seed the punishment begins here doesn't wait for Gom so anytime a person weighs seed usually Hashem punishes them right away so usually there's an immediate punishment that's obvious which is they lose money one of the reasons is because hem gives a person shefa gives a man shefa gives a a person a reward and any time he Wast seed that reward is leaves his body that shefa is his seed when he wastes it he's wasting the reward so so let's say for example Hashem gave him $225,000 reward this year he we see the next day he sees his portfolio drop 25,000 so what happened how come the market dropped so much nothing else went down except my portfolio I don't understand no no you should understand understand you wasted seed yesterday you wasted seed yesterday today that's what happens so many many times when you see people go broke this is part of the reason uh the Benish says that women also have something equivalent it's not to the same level of magnitude as a man but it's also forbidden for women to do such things now on the other hand on the good side there is a mitvah that a person can do that can yield them and L reward just like there's endless punishment there's also endless reward what is this if you do a mitzvah for example you eat you get one Mitzvah you give somebody food you did another Mitzvah you uh do another Mitzvah go to another Mitzvah keep Shabbat another Mitzvah these all mitv is good but sometimes you get an opportunity in the Tora that the mitvah can create another mitvah what is this mitvah theah which is to make other people do CH why because let's say for example you take one of the CDs that I gave you for free and you listen to it and after you listen to it you're not going to listen to it a second time you take that CD and you give it to your cousin you give it to your friend you give it to your colleague you give it to your wife whoever you give it to somebody they listen to it first of all every second they listen to it as a Mitzvah because it's full of Tor every second they listen to it's a mitvah it's a that means every time they make a Mitzvah it also goes to your account it goes to their account it goes to your account they do chv from that moment on every single Mitzvah that they ever do or they're actually a part of goes to your account also which means that a single move not even money just like a single handshake of giving a person a CD can yield you hundreds of Worlds hundreds of mitv for eternity and that's why people that really understand this mitzvah that see what says one of the biggest M books that has in history that says that even if somebody gets to a level of Torah and prophecy like mosu and Perfection like the malim Perfection like the Angels he's still never going to be in a level of somebody that gets other people to do chuv why because the person that learns to and is good and does mitv is's limited with himself a person that gets other people to do chuva gets other people to get closer to Hashem his reward never ends why the other person does chuva he starts doing MIT now he's gonna have a wife she does mitv they're gonna have kids they do mitv those kids are gonna have kids they're goingon to do mitv meaning the reward never ever ends only thing that's going to save a a man or a woman from their previous sins The Book of Ezekiel says is to get other people to do Chua why because there are certain sins that you know you did so you could fix them but there are certain sins you forgot you forgot you don't you forgot you even did it but there certain sins you can't even fix you can't fix you worshiped an idol one time you uh went to church you went to reform synagogue you ate T you went out with a Goya you went out with a you did all these things you made mistakes in your life like I did we're not uh nobody perfect how can I fix these things it's already done ah what could I do I get some somebody else to stop I get somebody else to stop it once you get somebody else to stop it it's as if you didn't do it and that's why the Book of Ezekiel tells us you want to do Chua get other people to do Chua first get them also to do Chua and this is something that you could do for free you could do with money depends depends what you have what tools hm gave you either way the uh the and have equal way meaning that you have just as much potential to make sins as you do mitv wants you to do but the only way that we can do this is if we acknowledge first what's emit what else yeah repeat that again I'm sorry you have opport toach Torah okay but the people that you have access to are is that uh depends depends what type of G I mean there is a uh wants to uh yeah but it depends why they want to learn if the is a Christian and he's going to he's he's not planning on converting then you're not allowed to teach him in fact the ramb you're not allowed to be within six feet of certain Christians within six feet of them why because they're missionaries and their job is to get Jews to get away from Judaism and go to JC peny right so there certain I'm saying the certain right so certain they're not even allowed to be next to there certain that a mitvah to teach them so you can't just say can't is a very very general word even am is called it's called it's a nation so but we usually imply it when we refer to just the Nations not non-jews there are certain go that you're allowed to teach and it's a mitvah to teach them there certain guim that you're not allowed to teach them now is a very very important thing to know if you're ever going to teach guim is a very very important thing to know that they're always secondary to Jews meaning if you have 1,000 green that are each willing to pay you $10,000 to he you speak to listen to this very carefully 1,000 gim willing to pay you 10 grand each to listen to your for five minutes and then you have one Jew that's not going to pay you a penny instead he's probably going to complain against you and write stuff about you on the internet but he's willing to listen to you for five minutes you have to go teach the Jew you have to go teach the Jew have to there's no it's not an argument even you have to go teach the Jew this personally for me is one of the most difficult to understand but nonetheless it's AIT this is what you have to do so if you're ever going to teach go you have to know you have to be very very careful that you're not making them take precedence over Jews now if they're looking to convert then you're allowed to help them convert meaning teach them all the things of a Jew everything if they're looking to become righteous noahides then you're only allowed to teach them M and tanak meaning the what happened in you're not allowed to teach them not all to teach them about Shabbat not all to teach them about all the of the Tora you're only allowed to teach them and what happen in tanak that's it you're not they're not allow to learn like the oral Tora they only allowed to learn specific aspect of it so what are you going to teach them if it's not this so what are you gonna teach them Tonto came me and torto people have respect for Jews and they interested they want to it's I'm not any okay no no no no but I felt like brought respect to sure what are you teaching them though what are you teaching them like give me an example sometimes it was just a basic principle like a princip of okay a patient talk to me about vital problems and they didn't quite understand the importance okay so that's you're teaching them behavioral things and so I would te them like values okay so that's that's considered M that's allowed thate of that's allowed yeah that's considered m m is ethics teaching people ethics right I wouldn't teach them the specifics when they ask it's beond it's no no you're allowed to teach them those things you're allow to teach to my benit is it to your benefit yes tovah yes it's a mitvah it's a mitvah but as long as long as it's right as long as it's not not a uh um replacing a Jew meaning is long if you have two opportunities you have to but what you're explaining to me it's allowed it's a merit there actually certain uh certain that spent a lot of effort into it well the Jew you're obligated to chase the go you're not allowed to get Chase EXC okay he's already in the process of converting what do you mean what does it mean intention I have an intention to eat but I'm probably not going to eat till tomorrow oh a non-jewish dating a Jew no you're not allowed to host him in your house non-jew is dating a Jew has no intention of converting he's not even being a righteous no hide why okay so I can tell you because I have more experience in this field than probably any Rabbi in the world cuz I was in it um so most people think most people think that hosting an intermarried couple is getting them closer that if you host a Jew that's with a Goya or Goya that's with a Jew on Shabbat you're getting them closer to Judaism as introduction to Judaism uh the truth is 99% of the time it's not 99% of the time you're actually just enabling them to continue doing what they're doing because what you're doing is making them feel normal because they're accepted the way they are they're accepted that they're not a Jew with a Jew and so on and so forth when is the 1% the 1% is when the person that is hosting them is an expert in doing K meaning he's not going to hold back in telling them by the way you realize that if you stay this way you're both going to gain them for eternity you realize that right You Realize by the way that if she doesn't convert you're going to be glued to her like a dog because that's what thear says and you have no prom saying these hard things because she may start crying or he may start crying or both of them may start crying and you have no problem saying that if you have no problem saying those things and obviously some nice things too then you could be a person that could help them get closer to to to to Hashem but if you're just saying maybe they're just going to see that the food is so delicious and the kids are so happy and cute that maybe eventually they're going to arrive at their own conclusion that it's just better this way then please don't do them any favors and I'm telling you from my own experience people hosted us for years and never ever affected Us in any way shape or form why all they did is make us feel normal all they did is make us feel normal we went to shabbat many places we felt absolutely normal what we didn't even think about the fact she's not Jewish why she was doing shom she was doing the same thing with us with she knew it already before she converted she knew the whole thing she knew you know everything why we did it for years we here for years when did we realize realiz that this is not allowed when when we found out by the way not allowed why B B all these things this is how much it cost this is how much it cost once you realize the price you say okay now now it's different so if you have no problems in telling people the price along with some good things to get them closer while they cry then you should do it but to just simply make people feel at home and think that eventually they're going to come to their senses I'm telling you it doesn't work and my proof is the 80% or so of assimilation that's happening in America today what do you think no one's hosting these people for Shabbat everyone's hosting them for Shabbat this entire organizations that host them for Shabbat it doesn't change anything doesn't the statistic gets worse and worse every year every year the statistic gets worse more and more Jews marry go why because they feel normal they feel normal they theab host them the H host them this one host them everybody host them so they feel very normal so what he's married to Goya in fact some of them feel so normal that as soon as they have a nice check to write they have a nice one they write the check to where do I write it to Rabbi they write it to the rabbi you know what the rabbi does you know what she's converted who decided I decided she's converted they make a fake conversion theym they make a fake conversion on the spot I know a few few stories like this one in Florida one in New York happening as we speak happening as we speak I know unfortunately you have to understand the the is black and white met is black and white there's no there's no no sugar coating it there's nothing else so as soon as people start breaking the rules bending the the laws of hem as if they're allowed to bend them then you know all bets are off there's one place in in uh in Florida that the rabbi bent the laws so much that he allowed a Jew that's a Cohen to marry his convert wife that's not really a convert why why is it such a bad thing because even if she was a righteous conver which she wasn't because she didn't keep mitv at all he still wouldn't be allowed to marry her but the rabbi still felt it's okay for them to get married and have kids and today they have kids both in their 20s serving in IDF and they both think that they're Jewish the kids Orthodox Orthodox Orthodox Orthodox like we you and me are trying to be like the PO like the pope process of conversion okay no there is a there is a there is a in AAR that says that a uh a woman that has a child with a it's considered that but that's ran says that but we don't that is if the Jew if a child comes out of a Jewish woman he is a Jew uh even if the father is not Jewish uh but it's it's a problem it's a very serious problem because if the father continues being not Jewish then most likely that kid's going to be an atheist he's not going to be Jewish he's not going to be Christian he's going to be an atheist children that come out of mixed homes end up becoming atheists end up becoming very confused and then becoming haters of everything why because they don't know right they don't know left they end up hating everybody that's for sure huh that's for sure it's just the statistically speaking that's what ends up happening I mean of course there's always exceptions to every rule but for the most part marriages where there is a husband that's one religion the wife is a different religion usually it's it ends up being a very very serious problem for the kid because the kid doesn't know which side to pick when he picked IMA side that was Jewish ABA made fun of him when he picked aba's side that was Christian IMA said how can you do this to me I carried you for nine months So eventually he says the heck with you the heck with you I'm going with Obama I'm going with Osama I'm going with Buddha I'm going with somebody I'm going somewhere else why leave me alone leave me alone I'm breaking both of your hearts or I'm going to go somewhere else I'm going to go to India and this is what happens this is what happens all over the world so the assimilation is our own weapon of mass destruction against oursel but if the FR people if the religious people started taking kiru seriously then they would realize that if they don't do it they will eventually be affected by themselves either from their own kids or grandkids or cousins or so on meaning that at some point or another somebody knows somebody that's off that wants to marry a non-jew that wants to not keep Shabbat that wants to eat everybody knows somebody which means that if you start protecting hashem's kids even the ones that you don't know he'll protect your kids if you don't then don't ask for protection yeah you have a question okay good no not necessarily because they sorry my throat was getting dry no so no not necessarily and the reason why is this like you I wasn't on the but I the thing is it's different it's different why the person okay so the person that was on the D but then went off in reality he never really believed in Hashem he never really believed he may believe that there is a Creator but many people today that call themselves religious sometimes they're even they they don't actually believe that hasm cares they have a belief that like the Greeks the Greeks said that hasem created the world but then he left so a lot of people believe this today a lot of religious people they call themselves religious believe that Hashem created the world and he's not here all the time he doesn't really care if I violate certain things he's only here sometimes that's that's heresy so that person that eventually just decided that he doesn't want to keep anything because he just decides that hashm doesn't care in reality he didn't change his mind he always had this mind but today he just decided that he doesn't want to do anything anymore the person that went was on was never on and then came on they usually come on because when they were off when they were simply keeping nothing it's not that they were off because they hated God it's not that they were off because they wanted to go against God they were off simply because they didn't know they were off simply because they had certain amount of information that was not available to them they didn't have in air position so for example if I tell you that I have this envelope over here I have this envelope and um I'm willing to sell this envelope for $100 you're going to tell me listen thank you but no thank you why I don't really know what's in this envelope and I'm not going to take a gamble with 100 bucks for some piece of paper or maybe nothing is in this envelope why because there's certain information you don't have but if I tell you listen in this envelope there is the blueprint of how you can build a uh you know I don't know the next ire State Building for half the cost which is something you can sell something you can sell you can make money out of it then you going say to me okay I'll buy it for I'll give it for 200 why it's worth it cuz now you have certain information that's in your hands so a person that doesn't keep to and then eventually does the only thing that changed is information information he simply didn't have before once he now possessed this new information everything changed usually that information is something that puts his current status his current life at risk if I tell you that if youve kept Shabbat hem will love you that may encourage you to keep one two three four five shabbats 10 shabbats but as soon as somebody else tells you listen if you don't keep Shabbat I'm going to love you and she has blonde hair and blue eyes most likely you're not going to keep Shabbat anymore why because she's here and the other guy's not here anymore and the this this being called God is also not here anymore but the blonde hair blue white is all is here so love doesn't sell love doesn't make people do Chua at least not on an extended period of time when they have a big test it makes them do chva when there's no test when things are easy you go to a secular person tell them listen you should gives it's a big Mitzvah if the guy just made a bunch of money he has no problem giving money he has no problem giving why it's easy for him makes him feel holy no problem who do I make the check payable to take the money no problem when is it a problem for him to give money when he's having a tough time tell him listen I know you only made only made $10,000 last month but you still have to give M $1,000 no no no no no it's it's not for me it's not for me no but it's m last month you gave it and it was 2,000 the month before that you gave 10,000 the month before that you gave a million what's the problem now it's only a thousand no no it's not for me it's just I'm not doing it's not working for me why because he never really understood that he has to do this mitzah it's not because he loves AEM he has to do it it's an obligation meaning there's a certain obligation a certain mitvah is not just something you could do or not do you have to do so when you realize that something is an obligation you realize that if you don't do it there's a very severe cost so if you tell a Jew that if he does not keep Shabbat in the eyes of Hashem he's considered 100% an idol worshipper same thing like the guy from India selling his hair same thing like the guy from China worshiping a statue a Jew is not going to like to hear it but it's true that's what Al says that changes the price that changes like oh you know what I don't want to be an idol worshipper if you tell a Jew Listen by the way if you continue wasting seed all your dreams of being successful you could throw them in a garbage even if you end up making a million dollar you should still cry why because you were supposed to make a billion whatever money you have was supposed to be a lot more where's our proof of that someone that watches their breit gets a reward from sh to be the to be the person that gives sustenance to other people how do we know this in ch we have the whole with Yik yadik had a big test in front of him where potifa the wife of potifa tried to seduce him and Y sadik overcame the test and did not allow it did not have to happen even though it meant him going to jail for 12 years he didn't fall for the test for that reason he was rewarded becoming the king of Egypt the visoy of Egypt that not only made him very wealthy but made the entire world depend on him the entire world had to come to him to ask for money including his own family including yov ainu why because he protected his breit one time from there we learn that somebody that protects their breed is not just someone that ends up being successful them themselves but also some somebody that other people end up depending on which is something that any normal person would want because that's obviously something that means you have significance in the world you mean something and that also is a reason of why hasm gives certain people a long life anyone that wants a long life should make sure that as many people as possible depend on him or her why because even if somebody deserves Shalom to die if he knows somebody that doesn't deserve to lose him doesn't deserve to to to lose this uh this person they could stay alive just because of the Merit of somebody else so the point is that when a person watches their bre they become a helper for other people and that also gives them a you know is a another opening to have a longer life next question tomorrow we have a uh uh in the morning I believe RAB is going to tell you exactly the time anyone that wants to have a private meeting any specific questions specific issues I believe in the morning or in the afternoon we're going to have some time that we have some lectures at some schools and uh at 8:00 and I believe at
