[Music] amazing to be back in New York and at bet uh we did an amazing lecture here uh back in that has woken up a lot of Souls and uh anyone that follows Us on YouTube or uh Facebook all these other different tools that is giving us to publicize this Torah uh so that we've been coming out with uh new uh short films that highlight different parts of lectures in a uh movie format where we put these uh you know my voice sometimes my picture once in a while but you know uh different uh different illustrations to give you a little bit of a visual of uh of what the Torah looks like and uh one of the things we used that was our number one clip our number one clip so far was from the so it's a uh lot of we know we have ra here every week so of course you can have anyone that loves the truth is is going to have so today we uh try to figure out a few different things to talk about we uh had a great sh in Florida last night abouta and also continuing the series of that we started a few months ago but tried to connect it witha and uh the one thing that we want to talk about it again is to really dig dig a Little Deeper a little deeper at the number one missing pie pie today that we have aside from there's one other piece that's missing and that's now we were talking outside and uh in today's generation has become almost like a curse word in Judaism when you tell somebody that you're supposed to uh when you tell somebody that you're supposed to fear hem you're supposed to fear hem meaning it's not a honor like oh wow you fear hasem great for you yes it's great but in reality it's one of the 613 MIT meaning it's an obligation it's an obligation to fear hasem but in today's generation we're so far removed from Mount siai from what happened 3,300 years ago that we think that fearing hasem is something bad but in reality SCH the wisest man of all time already told us is at the beginning of wisdom how do you know you finally have some wisdom everyone thinks they're smart never noticed that everyone thinks they're smart especially the fool in the room the fool in the room thinks he's smarter than everyone else that's what makes him the fool the smart guy usually is quiet smart guy is usually quiet but how do you know you actually have wisdom says when you start fearing AEM then you have wisdom once you start the beginning of wisdom is fear of hasm in today's world has be somewhat of a strange belief some people even call it sh a strategy oh yeah you teach that type of yeah we don't learn out here what do you learn then if you look at every single book not just one not two not three every single book including breast books including rabi nakan including bmov including the Lich including them too including z Five Books of Moses everybody knows Five Books of Moses you've heard of those right Five Books of Moses we got Mount Si including those two there's not one place one book that was ever written by anyone holy that didn't mention the significance of not one so how we so far removed to such an extent that people think that when you teach like I try to do like ra mrai has been doing for over 20 years that it's a new unfortunately it's because we started creating our own way we started using our own wisdom to interpret the Torah in this generation everyone's become Rashi everyone became Rashi every little guy that started learning some T goes to Yesa for a few years goes to Yesa University goes to some goes to this writes a book he became Rashi gives you Pim he doesn't think about oh did Rashi agree with this did ra agree with this did agree with this he doesn't think about them he has his own thought it makes sense to him k K I have a new insight who are you you have a new insight did you check your Insight with the rim you check with did you check it with basic you have a how come he has the audacity to give a that contradicts Rashi that contradicts rambam that contradicts the basic principles of Tor because no simply no now each one of us prays bashem in the morning and we remember that during PES we're supposed to bring ourselves spiritually to a state of mind where we feel like we we' just exited Egypt we've just gone through 210 years of being in Egypt of which 86 years were hard labor slavery NOA no accomplishments nothing but Terror and then Hashem came and brought to Salvation Miracle after miracle for a year straight all the way to the point where he took us out of Egypt as the Kings the servant became the master at the end of the 10 plagues we came to the Egyptians and we took all of their money we left there very rich kazal says that the poorest amongst the Jews had 70 camels that were carrying his belongings the poorest the richest was kak kak had 70 camels to carry the keys to all the safes that were carrying his stuff no person was ever as rich as K in history but he fell too he had his own p on the also he also decided that you know what m i don't agree with him here I think he's wrong you know how people say today ROM no I don't think I I don't think he's right on this one I think rambam is wrong you know how many times I hear this that people tell me that they think rambam is wrong or Rashi is wrong or anyone from a few hundred years ago is wrong now to give you a little bit of an understanding I think I mentioned this in the last year but just a small understanding a small taste of anyone that knows a little bit of rambam would know that people that study rambam they don't only study rambam as far as what he says but they study how he said it meaning they study it similar to how people study the Torah they study the letters why did he spell this word this way here but in a different place he spelled the same word differently the rambam's wisdom was to that extent someone once came to the rabim in Israel and he said listen I have a um what it called a um Nobel Prize I'm smart and I don't think that rambam is a big deal what's a big deal about rambam okay so he has a statue in Washington they honor him they say he's an important guy but I don't see why I read his books they look interesting what's the big deal said well it's not just what he said it's how he said it and really the true way to show that you have wisdom is by minimizing your words seeing the most amount of information with the least amount of words Einstein once said if you don't if you can't explain it simply for a four-year-old to understand then you don't know it well enough so now the r each time he wrote an Al he didn't just write an Al that he could have written books and books and books upon it he wrote in the least amount of words now if you see all the books that were written about the rambam were many many more books than he wrote himself but they're all just expanding on what he wrote so the Nobel Prize Winer said okay so let me see what did he write and said you know what pick any Al that you want and write it in less words than the ramb pick anyone that you want and the guy just picked one he studied it and he decided to write it and he wrote it in about 30 different words to explain this they looked at it they said no you have to go down a little bit and he went down and he minimized it and he went down to words he said oh little lower and again and he worked on it for months months and months of work and eventually got down to about 20 words or 21 words if I'm not mistaken and he said he was 100% sure that he beat the rambam here eventually they open the book they see the rambam seven words but not only seven words in those seven words you understand Al much better than you understand the 21 words in reality one time I was studying with this a and we came to the conclusion that in today's generation there's three stages you really want to count there's us there's the rambam and there's a monkey no one should take this offense I'm included in this list now we in our generation are closer to the intelligence of the monkey than we are to the ramban that's how far we are and this is not because rambam studied really hard cuz we study also really hard but the intellectual power that they had 900 years ago is something that's not human to us it requires it requires a level of that's beyond our knowledge beyond our capacity so when someone says oh I don't agree with the rambam there's nothing more foolish than that but why would somebody even there saying it because they have no concept of what the rambam really is and they have no concept of what is unfortunately even really smart people made the same mistake people like korak that we mentioned before also made the same mistake K was in a generation of much higher than the r where the least of that generation was a higher level Prophet than Ezekiel even the cleaning lady that just came out of slavery she had higher level prophecy than the prophet Ezekiel we can't really comprehend what that means can't get our head around it what does that mean k was one of them and K was actually one of the and unfortunately he went went against the rabbis he went against the number one rebuker of all time the number one it says that hasem cried whenu died so kazal asked why would hasem cry he's the one that took him gar answers he cried because he says who else is going to rebuke my people and tell them the truth like my son mosu meaning no one is able to rebuke the same level tell them the same level of Truth regardless of whether it's politically correct or not politically correct whe they like it don't like it doesn't make a difference there's truth there's false there's no gray area that's the Torah Kor wanted to create a gray area he wanted hasem to change the rules and to this day he's screaming from somewhere in the middle of the desert that he was wrong now that's in 5 minutes having a little bit of an understanding that you need to have this fear because the real God the god of is he's not kidding he's not your friend he's not your buddy you can't text him he's not on WhatsApp he doesn't have a Facebook page or any Twitter followers and he's not going to forgive sins just for because you're a nice person and this is one of the things we talked about yesterday which I think is important to mention again today for in case someone is not going to watch a Shure I mean once in a while you have to miss a Shure so for some reason someone convinced the world that we can negotiate with God if you really think about it when you try to negotiate with your wife to change the living room you're not going to win you're not going to win try to negotiate with the kids little kids your own kids they're your kids not the stranger kids your kids do something else stop making noise please ABA is trying to study aba's trying to watch ABA is trying to sleep aba's trying to breathe AB was trying to eat something usually you're not going to win you try to negotiate with your boss to give you a raise usually you're not going to win he try to negotiate with the IRS just thinking the IRS may have given all of you now thinking just getting the letter from the IRS already scares all Jews what are they going to say what are they going to do what do they want from me but this is everyone not just Jews we're all scared of the IRS why if they send something to us maybe they already know what do they know though I don't even know what they know and you start thinking in a imagining what's happening why are they sending me a letter in reality after you finally open a letter after a half hour of sweating is like thank you sir for sending your tax return on time but in reality why are you so scared of the IRS because you know that if you Tred negotiating with them you're wasting your time you're not going to win you're not going to win negotiation with the IRS meaning that for the most part you're going to lose all arguments in life you're going to win once in a while but in reality you're going to lose most of your arguments so what makes you think you're going to win the argument with God what makes you think that you can go up there and say you know what God I know you said keep Shabbat but it was really hard for me but I know you understand right we're a weak generation no didn't you didn't somebody say we're weak generation so doesn't that mean that we could drive on Shabbat espec especially if I drive to mcness no can't win that argument my friend she was such a nice girl I know she wasn't Jewish but come on hasem you brought her into my life it's kind of your fault if you didn't want me to be with a Goya you should have brought me a Jew you're not going to win that argument either hashm he was such a nice guy I know he wasn't Jewish but uh you know he was sadik in his heart you're not going to win that argument Hashem everyone was wearing a mini skirt you really want me to wear such long skirts I'm going to be so strange everyone's going to make fun of me you're not going to win that argument there's not one argument that you can win here what makes you think you can win the argument up there there you have only one thing to do pay it's time to pay the bill it's time to say this is what I did this is what I came with I have my safe full of and I have a safe full of a this is what I have once they show you what's inside the SA kazal says you're going to ask for the punishment it's not that hasem wants to punish you is the n is going to be so embarrassed of what it did it's going to ask to be punished fix me Hashem you've given me so many opportunities to do good you've given me a wife you've given me a husband you've given me children you give me work you gave me food you gave me eyes you gave me a nose you gave me a mouth you gave me air to breathe you gave me a car when no one else has a car in my block you gave me a job when no one else was able to find work you gave me bread that was kosher and there's place in the world that can't even eat you gave me every single tool that I could possibly have not only to fulfill your will but to fulfill it in the easiest way it's ever been able to do it's there's never been a time in history that that it's easier to be Jewish than today your grandparents died just to fulfill the Torah if any one of them was on the Holocaust many of them stood online by waking up an hour early after only sleeping for maybe an hour or two already waited online just so because only one guy had they weighed online so they could do they're all they allim from all of it they didn't have to do it but just for one mitvah one mitv they put their life on the line if anyone read the book to remain a Jew by Rabbi zilber each page of his life story should make you do chuva when they sent him to jail in the freezing cold of Russia he sacrificed his life for what to make candles for Hanukah Hanukah a rabinal holiday he sacrificed his life not once the whole holiday every day every second and he sacrificed his life for every single mitvah every day this is not that far this is not 500 years ago I talked to you about Raba they did what he did to them I'm not talking about that you can't relate to that I tell you about mosu you can't relate to that I can't either I can't relate to 3,000 years ago 3,000 years ago the Mercedes-Benz of that day was a donkey I can't relate to that can you you can't relate to you can't relate the 3,000 years ago yes you're going to tell all your children and yourself the story of in a few days but you can't relate to it you can't relate to some guy with a beard speaking from a mountain hey I just spoke to God you can't relate to it so if I tell you stories of the rambam 900 years ago you still can't relate to it I can't Rel I was there we all were we were but we can't remember that's the problem the only thing that we can relate to is something that we can see visualize touch and since we still have people that are Holocaust Survivors we still have people that have memories of their ancestors that can tell us what they saw what AM is experienced in Morocco and how they tortured us there at times for the most part the there was good parts there was good times but there's also very famous stories of how we had to go through persecution there or different places around Europe different places around all around the world for each and every single had to do even during times of Peace even even during times of Peace there was such poverty that multiple people had to share now if you don't have money Forin there's at least five guys on the same block that are willing to donate it it's not going to be the me that's $3,000 but you'll have to fre in and your problem happen at the end of the day back then to have a holiday for two days everyone was excited today you tell somebody oh is two days oh again two days like it changed every year it's never been easy to be a Jew but we complain more than ever one of the reasons is because we don't understand what it means to be a Jew when we got to the Sea of reeds yam suf after seeing the 10 Miracles over for a period of a year one Miracle after another hasem playing with nature like never before and never after we got to yam and we were dumbfounded we don't know what to do in front of us there's an ocean that seems like it's never going to end behind us there's a desert and in the far distance there are hundreds of millions or 9 million Egyptians on horses chasing us because they want to kill us mid says there was originally 900 million Egyptians and 300 million Jews after Mak after the plague of Darkness anyone who did not want to leave Egypt AKA anyone who didn't want to do chuva stayed in Egypt but not alive Hashem buried them during the day the plague of darkness and according to the most lenient opinion 80% of am is did not make it out of Egypt that's the lenient opinion that's the best case scenario meaning only 20% survived where the Holocaust much worse than the Holocaust the worst part of it is that many believe it was much worse than that they actually say it was 99.9% didn't make it does it they open in Fr of their eyes and they still can't do it that's the problem miracle don't make people do Chua see they see God's work just like we see God's work but we give it a different excuse complacency we think it's always going to happen we think it's always going to continue we think that we deserve it schl says in Proverbs Chapter 19 verse3 is a translation the foolishness of man meaning his sins will pervert his way meaning his own foolishness is going to bring him to sin and those sins are going to lead him to punishment but despite the fact that it's his own fault what does it say who is he going to be mad about mad he made the sins that hasm said don't make he's going to get punishment for those sins CU Hashem said if you make the sin you're going to get a punishment so after hasem punishes him just like he told him he's going to punish him what do he say why'd you do this to me hasm but we learned this already from The Book of Genesis when the brothers of yadik sold them the say that when they first left when they still didn't know that Yik became the number one behind par he was running the country he was in essence the king or the visoy of Egypt he tried to fool them so he sent them home with a trap one of the bags had money in it so as soon as they saw that the is there they said in chapter 42: 28 they in essence got a heart attack and saying what did hem do to us now now once did they think we really deserve this we sold our brother 20 years ago Hashem is finally punishing us you know when our brother was screaming in the hole because it was full of scorpions and snakes we didn't say anything we acted like we didn't see now Hashem is sending us a punishment no why is he doing this to us so this has been going on for 5,000 years you're not new I'm not new this has been happening when we got to the Sea of reeds we had all the reasons in the world to believe in God but what does it say finally after we got to the Sea of reeds everyone got into a shock they didn't know what to do until from a tribe of Judah decided to say hey if Hashem brought us all the way here he didn't do it just to kill us apparently we ran out of we ran out of Merit so he wants us to show him we believe not just say a lot of people say I believe in God but they still drive on Shabbat I believe in God but they still cheat in their business I believe in God but they're still going out with a go Goya I believe in God but they still can't say one full sentence without lying what God do you believe in god of the Torah doesn't like any of those things he specifically says I'll punish you for it so what do you believe in do you really believe in him do you have a question your own belief it's good to question your own belief thank you for so now when we question our own belief we bring ourselves Back to the Sea of reads said hashm wants us to show him we believe and he jumps into the water and as soon as the water reaches his nose that's when Hashem splits the water says oh you passed the test you saved the entire nation one guy if he didn't do it hasem would let the Egyptians have their way meaning that we were not only going to be punished for not having enough but we're going to be punished for not having hasem splits the ocean as The Story Goes we had amazing path there fruits and trees and all types of wonderful things on our path we enjoyed the journey we passed through the ocean the Egyptians tried to follow and Hashem killed all of them the exception of par how do we know that par lived one of the ways it's okay if it work doesn't work it's okay Satan has to have his way somewhere so let him have that camera hopefully this one works just so you know anything that you do it's any good in in the world Satan has to get a little bit you actually have something like that every day all the men you do right do you ever wonder what those couple of little extra strings are it always looks like the guy didn't finish the job it does right you want I wanted to cut him one time but I'm like I don't really know what I'm doing maybe it's going to ruin it so I just left it alone but one day I found out oh no no that's specifically their intentionally those three strings that look not so nice look like it's unfinished job that's for the that's for the Satan focus on the ugliness leave the beauty to me leave the to me leave me alone when I do so anytime you do anything that's holy Satan has to get something Yip we had two they bring one sheep to one sheep toaz but you ever wonder the Journey of these two sheeps what are they thinking oh this is their Journey according to the the Journey of the sheep that goes to hasem they take him they slaughter him in a Kosher Way make theban take out the pieces Kal we're finished he goes to relatively simple process but the one that goes toel they give him a crown if they need to build a bridge for him to cross they build a bridge they take him all the way up the mountain and celebrate and dance this is the one that goes to aaz this one is going to Satan they're celebrating and building a bridge for him to bring them all the way to the top of the mountain and once they get to the top of the mountain they throw him off the mountain telling the Satan to occupy himself with all the celebrations all the Cav all the G you got a bridge you got a crown you got a mountain you got all this stuff celebrate that just leave us alone take all the sins with you take all the sins please we'll give you all you want just take the sins so now is has gone to a situation where they've crossed the ocean the Egyptians died with the exception of one and we have a reminder that that is one that's left every day in our prayer it says M and then it says there's a and a in our prayer the reason why is because the first one par said the second one we said this is M now after we cross the ocean we have another part of our prayer that's reminds us of this event the event is that am sees the hand of God finally and they believe in him and Moses a servant but it doesn't go straight from seeing the hand of God to believe there's something in the middle once we saw the hand of God once we saw that is responsible for everything and anything that moves in this world that he had to be the one that destroyed the Egyptians because didn't make sense for him to split the sea for us make trees of fruits and vegetables come out of the ground for us make the ground flat for us and the exact opposite for them not one Jew died and all the Egyptians died this can't be nature this can't be a luck this can't be a coincidence all the other things maybe you can explain them in a somewhat strange warped natural way especially in today's world they try to explain why the sea split because there was winds they try to explain why the sea was red and looked like blood because it was something type of you know a amoeba or some type of other sea monster that created blood all types of theories that they have bacteria bacteria they try to explain the frogs maybe it's an exaggeration they try to explain the hell maybe it's the same thing they had a few years ago just to exaggerate it caused fire instead of actually having fire inside it they try to rationalize everything so Amel also tried rationalizing everything but here we got to a point we ran out of rational we get out ran out of excuses the sea had to be had to be so they say we saw the hand of Hashem and they feared him and they believed in him and in Moses's servant so first once we realize that is in control immediately we must fear but only then can begin only after we have a foundation of now the question is what is the benefit of getting to that goal in today's world many lecturers love to talk about amuna is a very very popular subject if you want to get a lot of hits on YouTube write in the name write in any name any title of any sh you're going to get more hits than you usually get people love stories about this that but really what is amuna is it just believing in God that he's in charge no even a monkey knows how to do that forem why you to be monkey you'd be a monkey you don't need Superior intelligence to believe that there has to be a Creator even the atheist has a belief a belief to believe in nothing he believes that eventually he dies and he becomes s fine we agree with him just that there's a soul that has to pay for the bill that the sand created it's almost the same but now is a little more than just believing in Hashem it's believing in hasem is running the world and getting to a point where you have confidence where you have in him being not only in charge of the World At Large but of your life specifically and eventually arriving at a point where you realize he's going to take care of you now how do you know if hasem is happy with you schar gave us a hint many of us have had difficulties in life sometimes our friends became enemies sometimes our employees became our competition everyone has enemies some more some less the more successful you are the more enemies you're going to have sometimes unfortunately a Man's enemy is at home or a woman's enemy is at home they have no schite so schl is telling you if you want a hint of how happy hasm is with you says if hasem when hasem favors a man's ways even his enemies will make peace with him now what does this have to do with now if you really truly believe that AEM is running the show then you know that every single thing that happens in the world is coming from him including the slap on your face including the cold including the flat tire including the raise including the boss that yelled at you and the boss that complimented you the good the bad the indifferent the stuff you understand the stuff you don't understand now since none of us are mosu and hasem is not going to talk to us plainly like he talked to him he has to talk to us in different language in the world around us showing us things that are happening around us to explain to us whether he's happy or not if your life is surrounded by problems for the most part it's not good news not always but for the most part hasem is telling you something it also depends on the problem if you lost money for example you should praise hem to no end you should thank Hashem nonstop the more money you lost the more you should thank hasem why because in the days of the B mikash anytime somebody made a unintentional sin shog by accident they turned on the light in the bathroom because it was a reflex you know you leave the bathroom and your hand goes up and oh it's Shabbat like if it happened 3,000 years ago 2,000 years ago it was accident you had to pay with aan but what the C what the 101,000 C do poor guy all he does is just she eats grass hangs out with our friend she's relatively quiet why do you have to kill her hasem is telling you that accidental sin I know it was an accident but it was still a sin yes it was an accident but it was still a sin meaning that the fact that you made a sin mean that there's a little bit of missing in your heart is missing something like if you had enough you would think a little more therefore I'm not punishing you I'm punishing the cow but just reminder that really it should be you that's the Corban not the cow that's what the kban actually really means they killed the cow instead of us now we don't have cows cuz we all live you all live in New York I live in Florida there's no cows around even if you had a cow you're not all to do aan there's no better mikash soem says listen we're still making a bunch of shog sins sometimes we even making intentional sins Shem says I don't want to kill my kids I love my kids but if every single time they made a sin I have to give them a punishment I'm not going to have a nation by the end of the week so I have to do something so thear calls money Bloods there's a few names of for money in thear one of them is z which means to move because money moves from hand to hand another one is D Bloods and the reason why is because blood is obviously our life and we spend our life chasing money so Shem says okay so technically you made a sin that was a value of a certain amount of life you spent five years of life on it you deserve one year of life for this sin one year of Life sin for this sin and so on and so forth and hasem takes five years worth of work away we think we got punished in reality if we had a little bit of amuna we just got rewarded we got reward another 20 years of life because hasm took the punishment in a different way in reality we should have ended at that point and paid for the punishment somewhere else now that somewhere else is not a place any of us want to go to page 10 says the land of Egypt where we were all slaves all of our were slaves over there is 400 by 400 paa that's the size but that area is only 160th of the size of kush which I think is most of Africa and Kush is 160th of the size of the entire world and this world is 160th the size of ganeden so we know gedan is pretty big why one problem ganeden is only 160th the size of G and some say it's not really 160 is the size because Gom keeps getting bigger we're not going to talk about the details of G but I think you get the hint the point is is that for anyone who thinks they could win the argument with this by itself EXP explains that many are trying this strategy and it's not working out that's the reason why Gom keeps getting more customers so they have to expand so now how do we get to a point of understanding what Hashem wants from us how do we get to that point of fulfilling that need kazal told us that the purpose of the world is to fulfill the Torah to such an extent that chapter 33 of the book of Jeremiah says if not for my Covenant meaning the Torah being learned day and night the rules of the world will cease to exist meaning gravity will cease to exist oxygen will no longer be usable all of the atoms would stop spinning the laws of the world that we take for granted will stop so when I told you guys that being a Jewish special this is what it means according to a recent number that I saw recent statistic which of course are all estimates but nonetheless still a rough estimate they said there's approximately 7.47 billion people in the world so we'll just call it 7 7.5 billion out of the 7.5 billion they say there's only about 13.2 million Jews some say it's 13 billion Jews but this statistic says it's 13 million Jews out of the 13 million Jews only about 2 million let's give him CU 3 million reason why I say and not late have eat kosher have m in their house any other mitvah pick one I say Shabbat why because says Shabbat is the foundation of Judaism there's no cha without chabbat in the second chapter the second book of he says that all of kazal agreed on one point regarding Shabbat and there's no such thing as having any type of chuva without observing Shabbat like the said why because Shabbat is the foundation of Judaism it literally turns you from being an idol worshipper to being a Jew a Jew that was born Jewish has an Israeli passport speaks Hebrew drives on Shabbat smokes a cigarette on Shabbat plays with his iPhone on Shabbat goes on the internet for five minutes on Shabbat puts a toast in a toaster on Shabbat plays with the microwave on Shabbat the TV on Shabbat any of those things that we think what the big deal Hashem really cares about the TV Hashem really cares about the toaster he doesn't have enough problems he has 7 and a half billion people he cares about my toaster yes he cares about your toaster he cares about your toaster he cares about you writing the pen he cares about your iPhone he cares about everything that's why he wrote it if he didn't care he wouldn't write it he didn't write that many books wrote one book Torah in that book he says he cares so now you have a situation where hasem says he cares and he decide to go against it anyway well then Hashem says okay you my friend are an idol worshipper meaning that you went from being the chosen people to being the worst of all people what does it mean someone that drives on Shabbat is worse than a murderer according to hashem's definition so even though that's really not politically correct it's not nice to hear no one likes to do it no one likes to say it I myself don't like to say it but facts are facts the guy that you saw in the video that I made where he's from Isis he's a murderer he's mayem punish him right now but if he's only a murderer and not an idol worshipper the Shabbat is considered worse than him that's a problem who needs this problem just keep Shabbat it's easier so now out of all of those people we have only 3 million that keep the Shabbat keep the foundation of Judaism only 3 million say Hashem created the World in 6 days and rested on the seventh 3 million agree some don't even want to but they do it because they're scared good enough you get a pass doesn't matter why you do just do it sleep the whole day if you have to just keep Shabbat stop sinning eventually you're going to have to actually go to SCH and eat and do K but in the beginning sleep enjoy just stop sinning join Judaism join God join team hasem it's better you sleep all day every Shabbat your entire life then light one lighter on Shabbat once in your life if anyone knew the level of punishment we get for one one you'd be scared to move I have a book somebody put it together it's not a published book it's 86 different pages of different sources from different places in the Torah talking about the punishments that people get forat 86 pages but it's not 86 pages of paragraphs it's just verses long story short it's really really bad if anyone saw which is not published online it's only on DVD the worst part Shabbat it's the worst sin in Judaism and people just don't want to understand good news isem gave us the to make a Shabbat but in a movie format and it's coming out in the coming weeks it's a 15 or so 15 minute movie talking about chabbat similar to what ra mrai did a few years ago just a different perspective perspective or perhaps a a few different things that weren't mentioned there different pictures but hopefully this is the last wakeup call anyone that's not keeping Shabbat needs so now that you're one of these three million if you didn't keep Shabbat before now now you're going to keep it let me explain to you how special you are when said he meant that if there's not somebody out there learning my Torah fulfilling my Torah out of the chosen people out of the ones that are my first born not the idol worshipper not the Isis murderer not the guy that drives on Shabbat because his prayers are reaching a door that won't open says if someone runs away from the learnings of Torah meaning he doesn't want to feel he doesn't feel like listening to the rabbis he doesn't feel like listening to Torah even his prayers are considered disgusting to Hashem it's not a good place to be so he's talking about those three million those three million they learn toah in essence hasem is saying that the world continues to spin for you only for you so let's see out of the 3 million we did a little bit of math I like math breaking things down the reality of it is all 3 million are not all learning to at the same time all 3 million are probably not only learning T some are women some are men some are learning all day some are learning once a day an hour and also there's different time zones so let's say at any given moment there's 300,000 it's probably about 10% potential out of the 300,000 you're one of them which means that you're one of the few people that hasem decided that he's going to keep the other seven and a half billion alive for you're responsible for tens of millions of people just for coming to this you right now tens of millions of people are getting oxygen cuz you're learning toah that's what it means to be chosen if you really delve deeper into the numbers it's actually even more it's not 300,000 it's more like 40 or 50,000 at any given moment even have a chance to learn to and out of the 40 or 50,000 it's probably maybe half that actually learning toah the rest of smoking cigarettes or half asleep or drinking coffee or just in a bathroom or doing different things living meaning that you responsible for something like hundreds of millions of people just for learning to man woman or child that's what it means to be chosen feels good but it's also a responsibility so when hasem says you should havea in me it's kind of silly not to have thisa because you're the only reason he keeps it going if you're one of the few that's keeping Shabbat you're the only reason he's keeping it going this is why it gets so upset if you don't have auna now after we went and we were in a desert for 40 years andem in reminds us of the tests we tested him and he says in Chapter 14 verse 22 all these men who have seen my glory and my signs that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness and have tested me these 10 times and have not heeded my voice meaning that no less than 10 times up to this point did testem what are these tests we'll go through them quickly first one we got to the Sea we just went through that why did Hashem have all these plagues if he's just going to drown all of you not having amuna at that point is really silly Hashem got upset when the Mal of the Egyptians which is name is MIT came to Hashem and said Hashem why would you split the sea for these Israelites and not from my Egyptians okay my Egyptians are not not exactly they worship idols but the Israelites were also worshiping Idols last week they're both Idol worshippers so they became in a week hasem said you're right I'm not going to split to se for them so when mosu went to hashm what do we do hasem said what are you screaming to me for move forward move forward move where what do you mean forward into the ocean we going drown what do you mean move forward kazal explains to us said move forward and show me you believe because you ran out of Merit the Egyptian Angel just came with an argument against you and he won you have no merit you ran out the only Merit you had is is the fact that you had enough to leave Egypt you left Egypt good I gave you the ability to leave Egypt now you got here you're notab we didn't give you the Shabbat you're not only the levy tribe were even learning Tor there's no reason for me to save you you have to earn a merit do something you can't tell me can't tell me I'm I'm religious in my heart it's not the time Moshe do something show me you believe and that's when went into the ocean and showed hasem he believes and everyone followed but that was one of the tests where hasem got upset because we didn't show him oura the next test is when we got to the bitter Waters and we thought that Hashem was just going to give us bunch of water we can't drink when you really think about it it's kind of foolish again why would he bring you a bunch of water you really can't drink did he torture you up to this point is he did he just create you to torture you if that was the case he just create Gom and that's it why create the world all he wanted you to do pray Hashem the water doesn't taste good hem my boss didn't pay me this week I have no money for theim hem I need no money AEM I need a z send me one asem I'm sick help me out you said I need AEM I'm your healer okay You're My Healer feel me but do you really believe he's the healer is the question are you just saying heal me and then he doesn't heal you 5 minutes later you go to the doctor you believe he's giving you the money or if he doesn't give you the money five minutes later you start working on Shabbat oh you didn't send me the money on Friday so I'm working on Shabbat show me you believe means stand up to the test the third test was when they ran out of food they got to a point where they thought oh all the food we brought from Egypt the Watermelons and all the delicious matah we ran out they got nervous almost like we get nervous when we run out of mat matah I don't think anybody gets nervous when mat but they all got nervous hasem really brought you to the desert to starve you why did hasem give them man every day why don't you just give it to them once a year give them a pill Kal is finished leave me alone and kazal asked this question why you just giving one pill that's it finished because hasem wanted to remind us that he still exists and one of the inclinations that he put within us is to connect P to hasem we're constantly connecting P even to this day to hm our we always blame hem if it's good we did it if it's bad it's his fault soem said they're only going to pray to me when there's no P if there's parasa they go to the casino if there's parasa they buy they're busy at the car lot buying the second third fourth and fifth car if they're P they're spending all the extra money EX ending the house like they need more floors they're not spending extra time to build a CO they're not spending extra time to help am come back to hasem and help the other 80% spending a lot of time to beautify the life here so only time they really pray to me as a group it's when there's NOA so what am I'm going to do I'm going to make them pray to me every day by giving them just enough for today live day today you don't know if you're going to get it tomorrow why because your food is not coming from the woods it's not coming from your it's not coming from your own efforts it's coming from Heaven do you know if Heaven is going to give you again tomorrow no so every day you're going to get the food you're going to eat the food and you're not going to know what's going to happen tomorrow that way you're going to pray again tomorrow if I only give it to you once a year you going pray to me once a year so I missed the connection with my son and my daughter why would I want to do destroy my connection I rather them go through a hard time and still stay connected to me than have an easy time and be disconnected the fourth test again witha we didn't really believe that Hashem was serious when it came to the man of bread we thought listen maybe we could beat the system maybe even though Hashem said eat whatever I gave you I'm going to give you more we didn't really believe it so we put some money in the 401K he said in the and that your is decided on until regardless of how many hours you work regardless of what job you have whether you're a diamond dealer a stock broker a garbage uh dealer you destroy houses you build houses it doesn't make any it doesn't make any difference there are millionaires in every job and there are employees that barely make minimum wage in every job there are plenty of people that are smart and broke and there are plenty of fools that are multi-millionaires who decides who gets what Hashem hasem decides he decides to give this fool millions of dollar going to give this full millions of dollars there was one time a gab they wanted to expand and develop the building to besset make it more modern they said to him listen we're going to have to start taking records of all the donations make it computerized want a sign goes I'm sorry I'm illiterate I'm from the old country we didn't learn how to read and write what you can't you can't be a gabai anymore go okay so I have to quit after 22 years of being a gabbi I can't big goodbye what can I do I can't read and write overnight so what is he going to do the poor guy he went and he started going to the market try to figure out what is he going to do for a living so he bought some tools and he tried reselling them you saw he made a small profit bought a hammer bought a screwdriver bought a few Nails sold them for a profit took the money reinvested it bought some more tools and made some more profit and little by little things started rolling and the guy starts making a good living within a matter of a couple of years he builds a company and a short while later he's a multi-millionaire one day he decides that he wants to do a very big deal with China and a Chinese representative comes to him and says please sign here so we could deliver the $10 million worth of goods you just ordered said I'm sorry I'm illiterate I don't know how to sign said what do you mean you don't know how to sign goes I don't know how to sign until now I just put my fingerprint that's how I signed go no no we need you to write your name go I'm sorry I don't know how to write my name goes how could you make all these millions of dollars without even knowing how to read imagine how much more you would make if you knew how to read he says no you fool if I knew how to read I'd still be a Gab when hasem decides you're going to have P you going have P you don't have to work overtime you don't have to work seven days a week says hem decides how much you're going to make on but it also has a little teaser in there it says whatever you spend on Shabbat whatever you spend on whatever you spend on and not included as part of your pan meaning if Hashem decided you're going to make $100,000 this year and you decide you want to give $50,000 you have serious amuna you have and steroids Hashem says the 50,000 is not part of the 100,000 I'm going I have to pay you back to 50,000 you're still going to take home 100,000 how that's his business that's what God's all about I'm not God I don't know how he does it I just know he does it I see it every month anyone that knows my personal story we had plenty of money in the past on bad months we' make $200,000 which is more than what we make in a few years now but the reality of it is that despite the millions and millions and millions of dollars that went through my hands and bank accounts and stock accounts and all these other accounts I live much more Comfort comfortably today than any other time before I had an apartment that was three4 Million I had a car I had this I had all those wonderful things that every everybody wants but not 1 ounce of peace of mind even before I got sick even before the health battles somehow didn't matter how much money went into the bank account 200,000 600,000 a millon it didn't make a difference somehow within 30 days it's all gone somehow me and my employees are living the same lifestyle month-to month I didn't have toys I didn't have Ferraris I didn't waste my money on St I didn't buy drugs I wasn't a drug dealer I wasn't a drug user I didn't have you know crazy parties I have no idea when there's in the money hasem can make $1,000 more valuable than a million when it's extra B he'll give you the million point is when hasem wants to show you he's AEM he'll do it in his own way not your way so when we question him in regards to this Mana bread and we left some over in reality what do we say we said that yes we believe hem gives the P but up to a point we believe but we still looked at the price of this matah versus the other mat oh this one's $7 the other one's $850 no I'm going to go with the seven yeah but you know your wife likes the $850 you're really going to save the $150 you really think it's going to change your life your amuna my friend is zero your amuna is worth a $150 that's youra there's a million dollara we just talked about youra is $150 that's youra youran should also be nice every one of you meets V should be why because you're not paying for it anyway what do you care how much it costs I have some people ask oh get feel I said yeah you get feel there's some that are a few hundred just to get you by and survive and there's some that are high end you can get fine for 1,000 1500 2,000 the price goes higher and higher oh no no no I'm going to go with the 400 I'm like wait aren't you a stock broker aren't you a real estate developer aren't you a real estate broker yeah yeah yeah did you I mean I average real estate broker that I know that's still in business after five years makes 10 15,000 a month oh no I do much more than that ra and you're buying a $400 pair ofine for a bar mitzvah boy you're 32 years old what are you getting by with $400 buy a reg realine for God's sakes you're not paying for it anyway that's what theas is that level of will help you enjoy the holiday because if you're constantly thinking about every dollar you're spending on the holiday it's torture from beginning to end first you're have no idea how you're going to pay for it you're struggling the whole time you're paying for it so you forget to enjoy it and then after the holiday you actually have to pay for it and since hm said oh you had 10% emai in me so I'm only going to help you 10% I'm going to help you as much as you believe in me you believe 10% I'm going to help you 10 you believe a 100 I'll pay a 100 I learned this from R FR now when he told me this initially I didn't really believe him to be honest with you this sounded a little crazy to me like it's nice stop come on let's be real when did I know for sure when I went to Israel and I saw him live we stayed with him for a couple of weeks so we had a couple of Shabbat now I went to the supermarket with him and I've never seen anything like it he took a cart and he just started taking it putting things in the cart but he wouldn't take like one and look at the price and then put it in the cart and look at it's like ah it's not so good anything he touched he would just take and put and put more carts oh yeah my wife and the kids like this he makes $500 a month he's an a the shopping was almost 2,000 shekels was a month salary for one Shabbat we don't eat that much this is every week I I looked at him like how you paying for all this he goes I'm not paying for it so what do you mean you're not paying for oh he's paying for it it's his business I just buy that's amuna that's a million dollar amuna yeah over there yeah question uh no you had a debit card debit card credit card I don't know at some point has to be paid their credit card is different than ours they have to pay the full balance it's like an American Express they have to pay the full balance within a month so sorry a minute ago you said that from r r you have your parasa right and whatever you spend onab yeah pays that comes from and then you said that depending on your right can you clarify yes so you asked a similar question to what the bov asked the bmov said that in the Mish it says that we get it's de decides once but then the digs deeper inside and says no no you get judged every day so the question is why would I be judged every day if I already got judged on so for many years the B was looking for an answer and one day he saw one of the local Merchants that was selling water carrying water and he asked them how are you he said it's tough tough life being a uh in this business it's hot outside the water is heavy been doing this for 20 years I'm getting old and you know the usual complaints that people complain about their job he complained the next day he saw the same water maker water seller same water just as heavy just as hot nothing changed he asked him how are you and all of a sudden oh so amazing I have a job my wife is such a good wife all of a sudden everything is roses everything is Peaches same water same heat same job nothing changed he even confirmed that you win the the lot no he didn't win the lot so what happened so the B says thank you for answering a question I had for many years because me I answer the Torah question barely know how to read you answer the question I always ask why does hem judges every day if he already judged us on why would he judge us every day says on he decides how much to give you he going to give you 100,000 it's going to give you 50,000 it's going to give you 50 million whatever he's going to give you he's going to decide on but every day he decides how to give it to you whether he's going to give it to you through your job to a car accident someone can get fired but in sh they wrote in sh he's going to make a million dollars he gets fired the next day how is he going to make the million the guy apparently made some type of sin that he deserves a big punishment for but not so hasem says we're going to give him a million dollars he deserves some money but he also deserves punishment we combine the two he's going to have a settlement with the insurance company for a million bucks point is that you still got the million dollars but not necessarily in the way you thought so how do we how do we get this P how do we get the good one that every night you go to sleep your leaves your body and kazal says that it's one sixth of death it's partial death because only a part of your n stays here the rest of it goes up there and signs off on all the and all the you did for the day say oh today I gave today I was honest today I prayed today I laid feel today I did twice today I give a compliment to my wife today I taught my kids to all the next to it and say okay today I made this sin and that sin today I looked at this girl and that girl and this girl and that girl by the time you finish the girl I already have today is passed so now you have to sign your name next to every one of these sins so when comes after 120 you can't go to anybody with compl why cuz you have all your signatures so how do we know this happens how do we know not wrote it how do we know it happens do you ever wake up did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed how about discipline question who didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed you woke up on the wrong side of the bed right why did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed cuz you're shama went up there and reported all the sins you made the previous day and he said oh you made all these sins okay well it's time to pay so tomorrow your p is going to come very hard you're going to have a tough day tomorrow on the way to work you're going to have a flat tire and then someone's going to call you and annoy you and then someone else is going to call you and annoy you and by the time you finish with the third phone call you're going to have a fourth phone call with a lawyer that forgot to charge you $5,000 and he charged your card without asking you and he's going to give you all these problems just by 9:30 you thought you went through yam your already knows this ahead of time so it's upset today is going to be a tough day but that's the test you you you have a choice now you're going to have a tough time today because of yesterday your choice is whether to make tomorrow the same or better if you say okay I know this is sh I know obviously this is what I need to pass so I'm going to do today I'm going to do good today so tomorrow I wake up on a good side and that's not tomorrow you wake up on a good side go to you learn a little bit you do what hasem said so now the next test and we're almost done we have when am left the camp hasem told him don't leave any money don't worry about how much money you spend on holidays especially on Shabbat you're going to get double dosage but some of didn't want to listen and not only did they actually leave some but they actually went looking for more mana on Shabbat they worked on Shabbat and anyone that wants aul I know people love zul there's twoot that I can give you one is every day to read H every day to read the par in the Tor that talks about the whole story of what happened when hasem gave us the Mana bread for everyone who wants it I'll give you the exact verses after the sh but point is it's it takes I don't know maybe 5 10 minutes you read it but at the end of the hasem says to mhe how long is it going to be before you stop sinning and start believing in me why you going to work on Shabbat why I didn't give you enough p in 6 days that's what you're telling me I can't give you enough p in six days so we worked on Shabbat took it personal the second Gul I could give you let do what Hashem says when you do what hasem says hasm calls you I'm you become the zul you become the miracle seven test is when the water ran out they ran out of water at raim and they thought that oh Hashem ran out of Miracles apparently it's like people today feel like AEM spent all of his money on creation he built planet Earth all the other planets the stars must have cost a lot of money why do I say they think he you know to spend a lot of money because people have inem they keep Shabbat they keep kosher they keep some but the one limitation they have is when it comes to money it's like everything comes to money they don't even know who hasem is anymore how do we know you go to besset sometimes you notice that on Shabbat there's a lot of business meetings there's a lot of business meetings in the Sho oh yeah you see that property that I bought yeah it's great piece of property yeah we're going to work on it on Tuesday going to develop it demolish the walls and then we're going to make it into three bedroom people start talking about all the things they do for what for business all they're doing is they're talking about business they're talking about the property they bought the property they want to buy the car they bought the car they want to buy the stock they bought the stock they sold short the all what is this is all business you tell them don't work on Shabbat like no I didn't go to the office you don't have to go to the office to work today I could run a billion dollar company from my phone you don't need to go anywhere anymore real work doesn't actually require manual labor anymore that's for other people as long as you have money you make other people do it work is talk that's that's work today it's unfortunate but it's reality your main job is talking so when you talk business on Shabbat you're working on Shabbat inside theet ASM is watching you there's no bigger than that and then you complain about you're lucky it's still alive stop working on Shabbat that was the other test next test when they worship the golden C a lot of people have asked this question how could it be they saw the Miracles they saw the water split they saw this wonderful amazing things and then they take a statue from Chinatown and start praying to it makes zero sense first and foremost I said the last time I was here at the statues of those days were different statues than the statues you buy a chinat town for $15 according to kazal and M and many other mid hasm apparently decided to give make the statues the a the test of that generation just like sexuality and money is a big test of this generation the test of that generation was a but the they had was different we know this from thear when Raa had a dream and Mas one of the wicked Kings appeared in his dream and asked them how dare you tell your students that I'm your friend I'm not your friend I don't know you you're not even on my level and says what do you mean I'm not on your level what's you're an idol worshipper if you're such a high level why were you an idol worshipper and he says to him if you live in my generation you take your GMA your robe and wrap it around your knees and start running after the idols because Hashem gave them power to actually fulfill people's wishes people got healed people were able to actually see miracles from these Idols why that was the test but it was such a big test that all of theor went to hasem and cried to him and said we can't pass this test you promis not to give us a test we can't pass we can't pass it remove this test and hasm removed it but you replace it with something else today it's called money if you notice a little hint little hint that the two are connected take out a dollar bill look at the dollar bill it says In God We Trust problem is most people people think that God is the dollar that's why they chase it more than they chase God that was the next test after that they rebelled against hem with the mitv they complained that the Mana wasn't good we complained that the par that hm gave us was not enough Hashem my neighbor got two stories in his house I only have one story hasem my neighbor has two cars I have only one car hasem look he got a brand new car I still have the 2012 Mitsubishi Shalom that you have a 5-year-old car in this generation we're so spoiled in his generation that if you have a couple year old car it's considered like wow he's going down he's going down poor guy a tun there a tun his car is already 3 and A2 years old you don't have a brand new bathroom it's like ah wow they're poor we're so spoiled but actually if you think about it the says that where does go to where does all the P go to someone who has a someone who has a good eye what does it mean having a good eye well it has 2020 Vision a good eye means that when you see your friend succeed you're as happy for him as you would be for yourself you see your friend having a brand new car may you have another one see a friend having a new son you have many more don't be like those people where the friends are having kids and you're not having kids or they're having cars they're having houses they're having this and you think ah probably hashem's given him all the reward in this world before he kills him don't be one of those don't be one of those that counts other people's money you ever see those people they count other people's money oh you hear what Derek Jeter made he made $54 Million last year what about this guy he made 12 million what about 50 Cent he's broke what about that guy he made this what do you is they paying your bills is he paying your bills what do you care how much money he has oh let me see your check let me see your check why do you want to see my check I I compete what are you competing who's competing with you I have bills to pay I have rent I have uh kids child you what do you want for my life what are you competing who's competing with you I just wake up I go to work leave me alone let me see a check what happens when he sees your check he doesn't go to and says oh you know what wow you make 20% more than me good for you doesn't say that what does he do he goes to the boss why does he make 20% more than me with the complaint I work more than him I'm here longer than him I have a better you don't come to the boss and say Hey listen you know I think that I should make more money simply why CU I work hard not because I make more than him or less than him I think I should make money because I deserve more money why because look I produce this I do this not because he does anything his failure or success is irrelevant it's irrelevant you have to earn your pay for you don't come to him to this boss and with the and say oh look how much he makes look how he makes why because eventually the boss is going to be smart and say wait a minute if he's worrying about what he makes and he's worrying about what he makes eventually he's going to start worry about what I make once he starts counting my money who wants an employee like that I have 35 of them eventually all the money was gone so you know the hint of what happens it's not good so now every time you count other people's money what does it do number one it makes you miserable it's like all the people that watch Facebook and they watch other people's profiles and eat their heart why because people what do they have on Facebook and social media they have pictures of their vacation of the car they just bought of the show they made it's an illusion it's not their real life yeah they show they just went to a honeymoon but it doesn't show that they argued the whole whole time it shows the guy had a car but doesn't show that he almost got a heart attack as soon as he got the first bill it show they got a new house but it doesn't show that it has termites doesn't show show the kids are really cute with the costumes it doesn't show they didn't go to sleep till 5:00 in the morning doesn't show it shows an illusion so you watch everybody's pictures on Facebook and you become miserable you count other people's money and you become miserable why because it's never going to be enough because as soon as you find out he makes more money than you you're miserable as soon as he makes just the same as you you go to the next guy yeah I don't want to compete with him anymore I'm already the same I want to go to the best guy you're going to go find somebody else why to torture yourself it's never going to be enough says you give somebody 100 he wants 200 you give him 200 he wants 400 and not one man has ever died with even half of what he wanted so counting other people's money bad for your the second thing is it's also bad for your P because when you cause your is a boomerang comes back to you you curse somebody comes back to you you cause B to somebody comes back to you the go called karma we call so measure for measure is the way of the world this is one of the major principles of Judaism you count other people's money says oh you're so interested in their money fine I'll just take all of yours so you have only one responsibility counting their money you're not happy what I gave you fine I'll take it this is a serious serious problem last but not least of the tests is when we believed the spies the M we didn't have enough inem when he told us that the land of Israel was land of milk honey we wanted to send spies wanted to send m double check as just in case he's bluffing we sent them they saw giants they misinterpreted what the Giants were all about Hashem was killing the Giants so they don't kill the Jews de took it the wrong way they thought that the ground is killing the Giants and not AEM they come back with a bad report everyone panics cries says oh you cry today I'm going to give you a reason to cry forever and also just because you CED today not one of you is going to enter this land of milk and honey and the entire generation died over the next 40 years in today's world we call all of that the three victims of the one who says it the one who listens and the victim himself that you're talking about you want a phenomenal way to destroy a talk all day there's a few ways that are better than in the world of how to makea or destroy it destroying p is one of the best ways another way to destroy p is not having SLO bite yell at your wife mistreat your wife disrespect your wife great way to destroy your upon or even better don't say anything when your wife walks around not modest the zor says that a man a man that tells his wife don't put don't put a don't cover your hair gets cursed from sh special curse from sham stole don't don't go make other people sin by looking at you what's the curse we're going to cut that too so how do you make p then do the opposite of what I just said modesty cover your hair bite no the best way not to do is make sure your mouth is saying something else learn to most important thing is understand Hashem didn't bring you to the world to be a cow he didn't bring it to the world to just believe he exists cuz the cow knows he exists Hashem brought you to the world to pass these tests each one of these tests is relevant to today and each one of these testsa test buta is not something that you get simply by learning from some books and we is not something that you could just go buy in a store put 50 cents in the machine you got auna isuna is not something you're going to get just because you're signed up to some WhatsApp group and Ma requires two major pieces one instructions of how to do it and two experience experience means you have to go through tests you have to go Hashem is going to give you tests and you have to go through them and pass them but if you keep having the same test that means you haven't passed it yet so when hashm is going to give you these different emuna tests he's not punishing you really he's doing you a favor he's trying to tell you son you don't believe in me really I got to get you there mashia is coming once he comes you have to have the or else I can't spit the sea for you because and were not exactly the biggest in the world so at least have somea show the amuna that's the only thing that saved us at yam so when you arrive at your P of course of course you have to say the story of course you have to live the story but after the story is finished start thinking about how do I start living The Story in real life how do I put myself in a position where if I was at the Sea of reeds Hashem would say oh him I'll split the ocean for him let him pass have the Merit the Merit is showing hasem you believe any questions yeah no there is stages of what happens I mean first before mashia comes there's multiple Prophecies of how that's going to happen uh in so many words the good version of the msia we ran out of time so there has to be some balagan which I talked about in different shim uh that happens before the mashia comes there has to be some Bagan a war but long story short if we fast forward through that the mashia comes the rambam says that there is multiple choices of what could happen and no one's going to know until it actually happens to give you some of the choices some believe that we're going to live a thousand years until the end of the thou of the 7,000 we're going to live a thousand years in this world without having the need fora we having the need for we're not going to be hungry we're not going to be thirsty we're not going to be greedy we're not going to have a everything is going to be wonderful it's going to be geden on earth some say that women are going to give birth every day without going through labor and some say that there's no more birth the reason why they say there's a uh birth every day is because that was actually one of the punishments we got for the original sin a woman had to suffer through 9 months of Labor so to we fix that sin the mash came we fix that sin so labor shouldn't be painful anymore but the other side says wait a minute if every only comes to Earth to fix itself the mashia came there's no more time to fix what are these going to do what are these babies going to do so that's another end uh the uh other part is after we finish this thousand years then we go to Ala now the good news is that anyone that makes to the time of mhia obviously have obviously has major Merit at some point some say it's 40 years after the mashiah comes going to be resurrection of the Dead you're going to see mosu from afar you're going to see and yov um I'm not expecting to go shake hands with ab and I think that they'll probably burn me from afar just from their I don't think we're going to be able to become you know WhatsApp friends with any of them but I think they're going to we're going to actually see them in real life um but uh it's going to be a Time full of Miracles Miracles are going to become the norm now the big thing that people need to understand is that there's a few things that are going to eliminate someone's opportunity to enter one of them is Shabbat someone that's a Shabbat has a 0% chance of making it another thing is someone that has someone that's a jealous person cannot be cannot wake up with the resurrection of the dead so all of us that have this bad Mida of being jealous of millionaires being jealous of people that are better looking than us being jealous of anybody on Earth accept the because of his knowledge and you want to have his knowledge or her knowledge you're not allowed to be jealous of anybody why because jealousy is a form of it's a form of heresy in essence what we're saying is that hasem made a mistake he gave her but not me he gave him but not me and I deserve it so in essence what we're saying when we're jealous that hem made a mistake if hem is AEM he doesn't make mistakes so jealousy is a form of heresy go ahead yeah you said that a there's no more CH after mashia comes yeah but they won't go through like Masia well they'll go through mashia just the burning part though I'm saying I know a lot of like lot of people don't even though they don't shabat they're like very nice to keep they're like they're very spiritual people what that me that me they all right so let's say this let's say you had a million dollars okay let say you had a million dollars and I came to your house and I opened up your safe cuz you can't just put the million dollars on the table you have to have a safe right so I went to your safe and I started taking the money out and started giving it to people does that make me a good person makes me a thief right what makes them any different it's not their money it's God's money they're not people right okay so there's another question another Parable now if somebody is good in order to Define good they have to create good right now there was once a king and a king had only one daughter only one daughter everything in the world he had he had money he had power he had success he had everything and anything you could possibly imagine but the only air to is everything is his daughter his daughter had to get married one day so now he said listen we'll find you a wonderful Prince we'll find you a wonderful husband but I only ask for one thing I'll give him anything I'll give him money I'll give him Cav I'll give him anything he wants just make sure you leave me a small little room in your house wherever you decide to live she says no problem ABA you pay for it why wouldn't we get you a room and that's what they did they bought a they got married and they decided we're going to move to a different country so the ABA shows up a week later he says Hi how are you oh this is the $5 million house that I bought you great where's my room oh I'm sorry AB but we don't have any room where it's all occupied with our friends it's all occupied with our toys it's all occupied with everything else we have that you bought now does that make them good or does that make them nasty okay I'll take the no answer as the answer be that's in essence what someone that's violating hashem's will is maybe not intentionally like the story but in essence when Hashem tolds tells you everything and anything you have I gave you I gave you eyes I gave you hair I gave you money I gave you a wife I gave you a husband I gave you the kids the air that's in your lungs I gave that to you the proteins that are folding in a precise way in your body right this second the trillions and trillions of proteins that must fold in a precise way or else each one that doesn't fold in a precise way turns into a disease whether it's being a paraplegic or cancer or different everyone one protein you have ions it has to fold in an exact way one scientist try to figure out what are the chances that one of these proteins Falls exactly the same way he said let's try to figure it out we use a math so he connected it to a computer and the computer said it'll if you turn me on 24 hours a day seven days a week not a Shabbat I would have to be functional for 10 to the 127th pound our years just to figure out the chances of each one of these proteins folding the right way so now Hashem is responsible for that protein he's responsible for you being not sick he's responsible for you being rich he's responsible for you being happy he's responsible for everything and we take all of those tools and say oh by the way hasem I don't believe in you thanks though what do you mean but you just took all my stuff why' you take all my stuff if you don't believe in me that's the point why are you coming to my house and taking my million dollars if you don't even want to say hello to me so why did you give it he gave it to you because he's good and good creates good but the good that he created was to such an extent that we felt ashamed when he originally created the souls the souls said listen Hashem all you gave us is everything and we can't give you anything back this makes you feel bad so for example if you came to my house oh he's a millionaire so we'll give we get to his house we already made you a millionaire so you're going to be a millionaire for the rest of this year hopefully you really are so uh we're going to go to his house now he has the million dollars we're going to go to his house and now he's going to say to you you don't have to do anything you wake up in a morning we're going to have breakfast ready for you as soon as you finish breakfast we're going to have somebody put slippers on you as soon as you finish with the slippers we can have whatever else you want we have the this Available to You computers snacks whatever you want and then you have lunch and then you have dinner and you're going to constantly serve you now if you're a normal human being after a while you're going to start feeling a little weird in the movies we don't feel weird you know in movies it it looks cool in reality you start feeling weird it's called only it means like I need to do something for this what did I do to deserve it I'm not a king I'm not a prophet I'm not anybody special I'm just being what's what's why do I deserve this special treatment of doing nothing let me at least you know what let me take out the garbage I'm not going to start not putting the slippers on because I like it I'm not going to start cooking Shalom but I'll take out the garbage why cuz you feel bad you feel bad that you're getting all of this and you have nothing to return you're getting presents every day you have nothing to return if even if your favorite meal is steak if I give you steak for breakfast lunch and dinner after a week you can't even hear the word stake you start becoming repulsed from it the same thing if you constantly get good and you can't return anything so the same thing happened to the souls originally we constantly got good and we said Hashem we have to give something back now obviously we can't really give you anything back because you're perfect so what can we do the only thing that we can do is earn it at least we know that when we have it we've earned it we passed the test we worked for it and that's when he sent us to this world so but at the same token if you automatically going to earn it by default then it's not a test that just makes you a robot if everyone only had a good will and no evil inclination there's no point of creation you're the same thing as the soul so in order to make it balanced you have to give you evil inclination a good inclination what is it like one of the students of R Shak missed the sh one time and he uh told him what happened why did you miss the sh oh no you know I come to the sh five years already I to miss the sh I understand I know you come to the sh five years that's why I ask you why' you miss this you you know was playing you know I had to I have to watch I to watch iTab it's my favorite team so what's makab T Aviv goes oh it's a soccer team goes what's sakur goes you really don't know what sakur is know Saker what's Saker CU you know two teams and they take a ball and they kick the ball okay you just watch them kick the ball goes no no no the point is to kick the ball into the net go okay so what happens when you kick the ball into the net says then you celebrate you're winning goes okay so why don't they just be nice and let each other kick the ball into the net goes no the point is each team is trying to stop the other one from kicking into the net goes why why are they so mean he goes no that's the point of the game if they're not trying to stop each other then there's no point go ah your ears should listen to your foolish mouth if there's no resistance there's no point if you didn't have makabi t Aviv to stop you from coming to this Shure you coming to this sh is not worth anything if you wanted to come to this and you had no distractions you get no mitvah whatever mitvah you get is a little tiny one little Junior Mitzvah but if you have makab Aviv you have your girlfriend you have your this one you have your million distractions that are causing you not to want to come to the sh and you still come that's a mitvah my friend that's resistance so that's the point we came to the world to overcome that resistance if there's no resistance there's no point now obviously all of these people that are Shabbat and are not following what Hashem says they have a serious problem and most people don't believe that hasem is serious so PES is actually an amazing holiday to remind us I don't know if you were hear in a beginning but kazal says that when we left Egypt the very next starts with the word says is a sign that was sad there's bad news so why would am be sad after leaving slavery why would you be sad be happy you just left slavery says because it says only a fifth only a fifth of the nation left Egypt 20% 20% where are the other 80% they went to Bahamas they went to Cancun what happened to them hasem removed them from the world why did it remove 80% they didn't want to do chat they want to stay in Egypt they want to stay in America they want to stay in the Exile they want to stay in the office on Shabbat they didn't want to do chat they said listen Okay we finished slavery now we're finally making some money now we're finally doing well leave us alone the other ones are going to go pray for us I'm going to give some for the he's going to pray for me and I'm going to work on Shabbat my friend your is not going to help you you can give a zillion dollars in you can be build Gates of it won't help you why because once you the chapter 30 says you're considered an idol worshipper in every shape way or form to such an extent that it's not allowed to include you in any religious ceremony meaning if there's have a you're can have at the house make sure that the Y the wine that you bring is not a it's not it's not a uncooked wine because if it's uncooked wine and the Shabbat touches it you're not allowed to drink it same way why you not have to drink it if it's not and he touches it he's not you're not have to drink it why because the idol worshippers in the old days one of the ways they would worship their Idols is by pouring wine taking wine shaking it pouring it on their Idols so he says since thebat is the same thing as the idol worshiper he touches the wine maybe he's really Idol worshiping not let to touch the wine it's to that extent hm is not joking about Shabbat M Shabbat says says kadish you're not allowed to say Amen not allowed it's not that it's not nice you're not allowed to say Amen to aad not allowed it's actually a meaning it's a debate amongst the sages if you're even allowed to say kadish on him after he dies it's a debate if you're allowed to even say kadish on him why because it won't help him so maybe it's maybe you're wasting the blessing so it's a ver hm is very Ser I'm telling you all the stuff that's hard to hear because give you the point I used to be so I know this from my own skin hashem's not kidding he's not joking he's not joking in any way so it's important for us to understand that instead of creating excuses for all of our nice friends of whyat they're nice people they give why not why is hasm so mean why is he not nice why this why instead of asking all of these foolish questions what would should do the only question we should ask ourselves is how do I get this guy to the how do I bring him to meet ra M every Monday how do I get him to bring to meet youron every day how do I get the to tell him what Shabbat is how do I get him to keep Shabbat because it's much easier to get the guy to keep Shabbat than to convince hasm to change the Torah he's not changing the toah so I know it's hard I know it's terrible every one of us has a relative friend or family or something that's a Shabbat somebody that's dear to us trust me I have family that's still Shabbat and I'm trying but the truth is the truth right so give us good yes and that we're here to be happy and no you're here not happiness has nothing to do with it we're here to accept his good we're here to fulfill his will to his our job is so let's say someone's happy even it's not possible it's not possible to be happy without doing the will ofm no you do the of no in essence what you're doing if you're not willing doing the will to do the will of Hashem you have to agree with him you have to agree that he exists Hashem is telling you his will is to tell is to say I exist right okay so by not keeping Shabbat the is the explains that by somebody not keeping Shabbat you're in essence saying that Hashem did not create the world you're in essence saying Hashem does not exist so that's the problem by not keeping Shabbat you're not borderline you're 100% atheist so that's a serious serious offense so now when someone says yes yes but you know maybe I could be happy without the Torah this is also a flawed argument and the reason why is because most people don't really know what happiness is the reason why is because most people try to attain Happiness by attaining material they're either trying to attain uh physical body or they're trying to attain uh money or women or men or fame or Fortune all of these things now excuse me none of these things can make you happy they can make you temporarily satisfied but not happy those are two different things satisfied yeah you could uh a uh have intimacy with a uh with a woman you're not allowed to be with and be momentarily happy but tomorrow you're going to have to pay the bill the point being here is that to be happy is something that lasts without effort happiness is something that last without you doing anything therefore it's something spiritual it's not something physical so to say that if I get money I'm going to be happy if I G Fame of Fortune I Get Money I Get happiness it's not real why because these things won't last the effect of money won't last when you make your first million it's exciting I don't know for a few months a year whatever your second million it's a little less exciting your 10th million it's almost not exciting after a while it just becomes a game just like if you ever seen a guy that changes his car every uh every year eventually he's going to start changes his car every few months and still be miserable still look at the at the neighbor and say ah he got the blue one same car he has black he has blue but he's jealous of the blue why because material cannot make you happy happy it's impossible I had a plenty of material so I'm not one of these people that tells you listen money is the rule of all evil and I never had any money I had plenty of it can't make you happy it's impossible because happiness is a spiritual feeling and everything else is is is material so you can't attain a spir something spiritual with material now you can be momentarily satisfied but that momentary satisfaction will go away and the problem is that when that momentary satisfaction goes away you have a similar effect like someone has from having a lot of cocaine what happens when someone has a lot of cocaine they crash they crash eventually so when someone has a lot of money eventually even if the money stays even if the money stays but he doesn't have some type of spiritual uplifting he goes into a depression that's where you see a bunch of them kill themselves even if they have a lot of money or they lose the money so now they think that they just lost their life wait a minute but if you had real happiness what does have to do with the money if you had real happiness why are you so upset if you had real happiness why you depressed today why were you happy tomorrow happiness is not something that goes up and down happiness is some it's a state of mind so just like you're breathing right now happiness is the same type of uh has the same type of permanence so when someone has these things and then temporary as long as it's temporary it's not happiness happiness is having God in your life it's the only way to get it it's the only way to get it yeah sorry um this isn't the Shabbat question this is going back to the original mhia question um I don't remember the chapter verse but I think Jeremiah says that the mashia is going to bring a carbon yeah and you said that the well some stages say that the is going to be swiped I mean so meaning mistake or uh you know something um I mean that's you know it's it's a transgression something I guess yeah I mean we definitely does no such thing as a righteous person that didn't sin so hasem has to forgive a certain level of sins for us we have to repent for a certain level of sins even the M even at the time of the Messiah everyone at some point is going to have to feel the the pain of death everyone is going to have to die at some point but we have resurrection of the dead so we get back to back to life the uh the big thing about mhia is that once the mhia comes and or once the uh the ultimate culmination of the mashiah then there's not going to be any more you're not going to have these desires you're not going to have a desire to beat you're not going to have a desire to be jealous you're not going to have a desire to do any of these things the idea of mashia is extraordinary it's a big big a motivator for people to do chuva and it's also a big motivator for people to believe in in hm Al together I think that the biggest problem with the Messiah argument is that most people don't realize that they're not ready for mhia um to be honest with you I don't know if mashia comes today I don't know if I'll be saved I'm not a I'm not aab or anything but listen I don't know there's a lot to do I didn't do everything yet so I think that everyone instead of worrying about the mashia that may come next week next month next year 10 years from now whenever it is they should literally look at it as mashia right now what am I doing right now right this second that if the mashia showed up right now that's the picture they're going to have with me on the news mashia showed up you know cuz everyone knows where they were when they let's say the Twin Towers happened what were you doing on September 11th 2001 at I don't know 8:30 in the morning or 8:00 in the morning everyone knows what oh I was on the bus sleeping I was at the Delhi eating a bagel I was doing this everyone remembers where they were on September 11 2001 for what for a disaster that happened okay the culmination of the world is about to happen and what do we doal says we're going to be caught doing the thing that we do the worst meaning someone that's a thief at the time of mashia is's going to be stealing someone that's a womanizer at the time of mashia he'll be caught with a woman someone that looks at IM modest women time of mashiah they'll be looking at women and someone's going to hasem is going to be catching them and he's going to know it a woman that's not modest will be not modest at the time of the mashia this is also one of the things that women need to understand when it comes to mhia and modesty is that you know women they come toet most of the time they dress modestly they leave beet sometimes they dress immodestly they you know clothes are not necessary outside the reality of it is that they have to remember that Hashem is here he's also outside he's not only in the besset he's here he's there he's everywhere to such an extent that kazal tell us that even in your own house even in your own house you have to be modest to the point where your own walls your own four walls shouldn't see you naked there's no reason so the point is is that you have to think about it this way if the mhia was coming right now do I really want to be wearing this tanked up in mini skirt to meet the mashiah do I really want to wear this tights right now tights for for the gym I'm going wear it mashia coming that's how you want to wear that's what you want to wear here that's what you want to wear you don't want to wear right put a put a long skirt that covers the knees after you sit down go saying that whatever you want in your house so as you don't while whatever your home not a woman a man also needs to be modest even in the bathroom now again if you are alone you're going to I don't know take a shower obviously you have to remove your clothes but to just walk around in your underwear in the middle of the house it's not Modest Behavior now it's not necessarily a Biblical sin where someone's going to gain them for it but it's not exactly the Great uh character trait to have especially if you have kids you have a wife one day you want to have a wife one day you want to have a kid you get used to these habits so you know right now you're young and and and uh what's called and handsome and everything is great but one day you're going to be fat and and old like the rest of us and your kids are going to see you hey ABA why you walking around with your uh briefs it's not it's not it's not exactly the wers thing it's going the rest we all get old but you already got used to it so you don't want your kids to be used to oh he's walking around with his underwear why because right now you you ABA I just brought my Rabbi from from uh Yeshiva why are you in your underwear you understand but you got used to it you understand so don't get yourself used to bad habits next yeah will be redeemed so does that mean when you say Jews don't their world to come do that when correct that no no page four says 38 and four says that at the end of times there's going to be a lot of converts a lot of converts it's going to be a lot of go that are going to do they're gon to sacrifice their life in order to do what they're not obligated to do but we are example of it today the only reason I'm in New York is because I brought three students to the bed to convert so we had three holy Jews added to is today and they're not obligated they don't have to keep mitv you are now they have to keep mitv so now we're seeing this prophecy of converts happen every day every day I'm not joking I'm not exaggerating anyone wants to test it I'll show you my emails every single day I get at least one or two new converts every single day somebody else wants to convert this one's one second this girlfriend that boyfriend this friend that friend this one saw Judaism 20 years ago finally they decided this one has been seeing judism for five years finally they decid everybody wants to convert why now why not 20 years ago why not 30 years ago what changed that's the prophecy being fulfilled the mhia is near now the other thing is that it says that all of this is going to happen before the mhia comes so the asked why before the mhia comes the reason why is because once the mhia comes there's no more chuva and there's no more conversion why because once the mhia comes there's no more free choice you already know who the winning team is you can't say oh no no I I love them I love what do you mean the whole time you were cheering against them the whole time you were going against that team you can't say I love them now they already won they have the trophy in their hand mashia showed up you can't say no no I love hem I what do you mean I love hem you just all 35 years you've been saying he doesn't exist 35 years you've been saying your all the things you went against the rabbis against the Torah against hem 50 years you're against it all of a sudden you want to be in a winning team sorry my friend win I'm sorry it's too late it's too late what is it like says it's like the time of of and why because the times of and really ruled the world so there was no they didn't accept converts with the exception of the converts that schl had the Thousand wives that he married all of them in order to marry after he got all of them no more conversion why because you rulle the world there's no of course you want to convert we're the winning team the real duai in conversion is when we're not the winning team that's why the Third says that the real of conversion is when somebody comes to the bed and he says I want to convert so the bettin says oh I'm sorry listen Maybe you haven't heard they beat us up they kill us they torture us the Holocaust the pums all day all day all night yeah yeah that one okay but listen right now you drive on Shabbat enjoy you eat enjoy once you convert has to kill you like he killed was the first in history one week after we got the Torah not 3,000 years one week maybe he didn't have enough time to read the Torah one week after we got killed him whyem said kill him in front of everyone with the worst possible death penalty but we only had t for a week if anyone was supposed to get a little bit of leeway he's the guy we haven't read the toat 3,000 years later yet we have most of us haven't read the entire Five Books of Moses with commentary and actual full understanding of what Hashem said he only had it for a week maybe he didn't read the whole thing Shem says doesn't make a difference whether you had the Torah for a week or 3,000 years it doesn't make a difference once you realize Shabbat exists and you are a Jew you have to keep it to the best of your ability so if didn't keep it hasm killed him so now when it comes down to the converts they say you're allowed to before you drive on before right now you drive on Shabbat it's okay if you convert death penalty if you eat pig right now no big deal after you convert you have a serious problem the says if the if the at that moment says yeah yeah that's the nation the one that went to the Holocaust yeah yeah that's the one the one that has to eat koser all time that's the one the one that has to keep Shabbat that's the one I want to join the actual says they convert him on the spot like that moment no test no conversion process no four years no learning the language nothing they convert him that moment if it's a woman she converts and becomes a Jew that moment they take it to the mikve she comes she goes in Mary she comes out Miriam that moment no school no teaching no nothing if it's a man they do after it heals they take him to the mik which is usually 30 days take him to the mik he completes his conversion some say he completes the conversion that day that he does and also says meaning they they also don't even teach him the big mitv right away why so he doesn't get overwhelmed today they teach him all the big mitv they still don't want to convert them we're the opposite the point being here is that once Hashem said listen the convert he doesn't even have to do it to do it is up is become even more difficult today and he still does it he still converts and you the Jew that I gave all the all the all the all the obligations and all the that comes from it you decide to say F I don't want you decide I don't want to do it you have a serious problem so there's no more chuv once the mashia comes and that's a serious problem so that's why the number one obligation of every Jew today whether they're from from birth B CH or even if they're secular themselves is to try to get as many people as possible start with chat did he mean when he said all Jews will be redeemed why are you have to be considered Jewish a Jew that doesn't keep Shabbat is not considered Jewish so that's the other answer it's a little bit less politically correct answer but that's the real answer why rabis that call themselves Orthodox mention but they don't say anything to people epidemic in the United States it's an epidemic in the English-speaking world of why people don't say the truth one of the main reasons is called money okay it's called money so you see the thing is I come here for free anyone who wants to donate but you don't want to donate enjoy this year it makes no difference to me it's your suit not mine I came here for the Torah so now a rabbi that depends on people giving him money and he doesn't have any amuna he has serious problem why because if he believes the money that he gets is coming from the people and not from Hashem then he should have listened to this sh number one and two he actually has a serious problem because he can't tell those people the truth because if the money comes from their hand then he can't really tell them hey by the way you know that I can't even accept your money if you're you understand so that's the thing so the problem is that a lot of people don't have the high level of amuna second reason is people are politically correct they don't like telling the truth they think that it's a uh you know maybe it should be a little softer maybe they can't handle it all of these things that in my opinion are foolishness and borderline uh and uh the key is that we have to fight it this is part of the this is part of the fight I'll answer your question in a second don't worry uh this is part of the this is part of the battle of uh of of you know one of the prophecies that's going to happen at the end of times is going to be some people that going to fight the mashia so ask who's going to fight the mhia mashia is going to have all the power he's going to be able to smell your sins and kill you with his words who would dare fight him you know who's going to fight him the you know who's the fake rabbis got your question the Jew cannot convert to any religion yeah suffered a really tragic death it's actually uh yeah it's very sad uh and um as far as a Jew cannot undo his Judaism once he's born Jewish or once somebody converts to Judaism that's it it's not like a tattoo that you can remove with a laser once someone is Jewish it's a you get a that cannot be taken out by anyone other than hem you could become a k you could become a heretic you could become a atheist you could become a sinner and a wicked person that's your free choice but to be something else you can you could even be an idol worshiper but you can't be someone else you're always going to have that that hasem put in you because part of that is HEM himself you can't remove that yourself yeah what about person who is on and not yet if he's on the path of of uh doing chuba excuse they're not yet are they considered well if somebody started doing Chua they started keeping mitv they're on the path they're on you know they're getting there then thenm is going to have mercy on that person because they're they're showing them that they're serious but their CH cannot be considered complete until they keep Shabbat so even if they found a loophole to keep 612 mitv out of 613 which is not possible talking about so whoever you're talking about you could be talking about me and the Pats doesn't make a difference uh the point is that even if someone found a loophole to keep 612 out of 63 each vot it's still not considered a complete Chua so what is it like it's like for example if we said you know what we have a deal we're going to make $10 million on this deal but there's one condition to the deal we have have to send Mr Jones an email on Monday at 8:00 a.m. right simple enough we have the email we printed it out we typed it out we thought it out it's done all we have to do is press send we press send we get one of those annoying error messages undeliverable press send again undeliverable again again again again again we're running out of time we're running out of time eventually 8:00 a.m. passes we don't we can't figure it out we called no one answered nothing it didn't work finally at 801 Mr Jones calls us what happened we had a $10 million deal on the line why didn't you do what you had to do you just had to press send cuz I didn't press send where did you press send to I pressed send Mr Jones atgmailcom goes no you fool it's Mr Jones gmail.com you missed the dot ah come on are you one little point one little point the email doesn't go through you understand without shabot nothing else goes through it's a little dot it's not that big small dot it's a vacation it's a vacation once a week why don't we want to take a vacation once a week because the inside says oh come on who needs a vacation take a vacation next week take two days take two shabbats next week yet is going to convince you like he tried to convince me when I was when I first started keeping Shabbat I was still in the business world and when my uh R FR told me about Shabbat I told him no come on ra Shabbat you know what I do on Shabbat Shabbat is my fun day work all week like a dog start the day at 6 o'clock in the morning I finish at 12:00 at night I have no life I have no time I have no nothing Shabbat that's the time I go to the casino that's the time sometimes I have my business meetings that's the time I sleep once in a while that's my vacation it's okay now it's not I'm like wa what do you mean but I'm have business meetings I don't have time to meet out of the 18-hour day that I work I don't have time to meet anybody on Monday through Friday and I started listening to my own excuses he didn't even say anything and I started realizing how full of it I am it's not that hard I said okay okay I convinced myself he didn't even say anything he just let me talk and I talked myself to death and eventually even the was saying to me wow full of yes sir I was telling I was full of it so I said okay I'm going to keep the Shabbat and see what happened I can't commit to every shabat I'm gonna keep this Shabbat that's what you said this Shabbat I'm Gonna Keep yeah that's why I said I'm GNA keep this Shabbat I'm Gonna Keep don't tell me anything about next week's Shabbat don't be tell me lifetime don't tell me Shabbat this week I'm going to keep and the first week because hm knew I was weak as weak as it gets so hasem made that Shabbat Heavenly it was the greatest Shabbat in history of mankind the best Shabbat in the world and we read from the the book that Rabbi zamir Cohen wrote the Torah and um Coming Revolution or it's called science comes of age and some other articles and my wife made amazing food and it was just amazing amazing we didn't leave the house we were living on the 35th floor so to leave the house have to walk down three you know 35 stories it's not happening so we stayed in the house the whole time greatest day ever said okay okay you know what it was that good I have to give it another shot so I kept the next Shabbat by third fourth time I'm like okay I'm hooked and then when Shabbat became a little difficult at times you had tests you had this you had that you had enough goodness in you how do you that it kept you through it how do you convince people to to keep it yeah in my opinion the way to convince somebody to realize they have that they have to keep Shabbat is first making them acknowledge they have a problem until someone realizes that [Music] [Applause] [Music] la [Music]
