Fanatic or Meticulous - Jewish HaShkafa (85)

[Music] we're continuing our series of the Jewish ashfa the Jewish ideology certainly Rel relevant to everyone in this generation needless to say to people that are in the process of doing Chua or people that are more modern or influenced by society and of course anyone that wants to learn M from some of the greats of the previous generation such as the konish Shalom so tonight's sh will be for elat Moshe benim and and also for the for raan sah an Rael and also a big Maz to ra and her dear husband yanan for having a new boy may they raise him with to be a and to bring bring light to the world also for for Mar Julie and uh all of is all of the righteous Noah that continue to contribute continue to watch our shim continue to do everything they can to share these sh with as many people as possible both with when it's live as well as when it's out there as on YouTube and on our app and everything else reminder for everybody the best way to watch our shim whether it be live or otherwise is through our app go to uh the uh app on the app store Google or the Apple download the app it's the best way to uh watch the sh soon we'll actually have also the questions uh available on it as well but that's going to take a little more time uh also as an update uh for any of you that follow us closely you saw the notice today uh that unfortunately we have to postpone the uh New York trip uh we're not sure what the future date's going to be whether it'll be uh you know a month later or two months later once we get uh the invitations from different places to coordinate with each other uh where there's going to be enough events for uh for us to come B theem we will be happy to come uh lastly for anyone that watched the new trailer the trailer number two of the new Gano movie uh I'm sure you're uh shocked and excited there's going to be one more trailer released next week uh before the uh release of the movie uh which should be BM in the middle of next month uh probably around the time that I was supposed to be in New York around the middle of the month maybe sooner maybe later give or take uh but anyone that wants to have uh you know the opportunity to have their name uh in the actual movie itself either in the credits or even in the front of the movie now is the last opportunity this week is the last opportunity to do so you go to to uh the website uh Gom uh. uh uh and over there is different uh packages available for anyone that wants to contribute and be part of it even if uh you're not able to do some of the bigger things certainly everyone can do some of the smaller things and contribute remember that this is unlike any other Mitzvah you're ever going to have an opportunity to be involved in uh whether it's with us or with anybody else simply because there is no other movie like this uh out there not in Hebrew not in English not in any language and we're looking forward for other people to copy and do the same thing and uh and publicize the uh important teachings about Gom uh but I don't think that anything will ever be quite like this just simply something you'll have to see to believe so with that being said we have our extraordinary series by the Kish the Jewish ideology and what better time is there to learn about what is the right asfa what is the right ideology other than the week of the uh the holidays of the go uh where you have now the holidays of the go are rampant like we have our high holidays of and and and the rest of the extraordinary and beautiful holy holidays million times differ they have their holidays where they have their a celebrated one after another whether it be the Halloween the uh the holiday where everyone has to pretend that uh ghosts and demons are a good thing uh or they have their Massacre holiday that's coming up this week that's called Thanksgiving ironically the same holiday they massacred millions of people they celebrate as Thanksgiving or they have their uh their Idols holiday in uh in December that everybody's familiar with which I don't even want to say the name uh but the key is to understand that these holidays are very very important for us to know why because you need to know what are What are the laws of the Gentiles and what you're not allowed to do so of course in the uh in the western society and especially here in America it's become a uh I'm not really sure how and you know exactly who started this whole uh thing but it's become a very uh common custom among Jewish households uh to celebrate thanks Thanksgiving as if it is a neutral non-religious holiday now we've had several times that we've discussed this whole issue about uh Thanksgiving uh you know not being a holiday that a person is supposed to celebrate but of course there's always people that either don't watch it or forget or they think they're going to bring us some type of new source that they found under the blanket or they saw in the internet perhaps maybe we' reconsider well vido Miller is quoted saying that uh the uh the holiday of Thanksgiving is in fact a religious holiday because even if you look up in a dictionary which in those days was still in books today it's on the internet you'd actually see that theim themselves say that this particular day of Thanksgiving is a day you're supposed to go to church so the roots of this holiday are indeed religious but needless to say even if you remove that for a moment uh even if you remove that for a moment it's still forbidden for a Jew to celebrate this holiday like people do today and what do I mean like people people do today someone brought the uh the uh uh leniency if you want to call it a leniency by Feinstein Shalom one of the Giants among giants he was the from the you know from Moshe Renu to Moshe the ram to MOS MOS Feinstein there was no one else like these Giants and Moshe Feinstein you know when was when he was asked about this Thanksgiving again in his day he said if you do it once in your life in a non-religious fashion you know then this is something that can pass meaning it's not a problem but he never gave a hex on Thanksgiving for anyone to celebrate it on a annual basis that would actually turn it into a what's called a which is in essence a new decree which is not only adding to the tah but it's also which is a following the laws of the go of the Gentiles which is is forbidden for a Jew so now if a gentile wants to eat turkey on Thursday afternoon with his family watching football by all means enjoy it it's the best of all the idolish holidays at least there's no tree in the middle but if a if a Jew wants to do it if they've already done it once in their life there is no permission whatsoever for them to do it according to anybody's opinion not Feinstein or not anyone else but again people will always look for an excuse to justify their sins and suddenly they become alic meticulous alic fanatic suddenly they know the laws or they think they do and again this has everything to do with our sh why because when a person truly learns Al and they learn the laws the emotions are removed because now they know what's right and what's wrong and where they're supposed to go and where not the same applies in every other aspect of Al whether it's it's the Thanksgiving nonsense that's in people's minds today or it's wasting seed or it's Shabbat or it's nid or or it's a uh you know um family uh family Purity or it's a modesty or any other law out there person needs to know that if you want to follow the way of hem you have to remove your emotions so long as you're emotional you're not going to make the right decisions needless to say you're going to be living a very sinful life now that's what the k has chosen to SP to speak about anyone actually still believe in coincidences when he watched the for so many years this is exactly what the k is talking about this week right now in chapter 4 section8 says exactly what I'm going to tell you I'm going to read it off so everyone knows up to here is the section we're going to read this section is a little longer but we're going to read this particular first paragraph and last week just to remind everybody we talked about in essence the importance of observing Allah importance of learning M knowing that one cannot live without the other they must coexist if you learn ala but you don't learn M then you're going to be a crazy person that's going to be meticulous in the wrong places if you learn M but you don't learn Al then you're just simply going to hate everybody because you're going to think that you're the most righteous people person in the world even though you're violating much more laws than they are so it's important for a person to know that they have to work on their character traits by learning M but the best way to work on the character traits is by learning Al and fulfilling the AL itself and to be very specific about Al itself and now in essence what the Kish is doing is continuing to build on that foundation and he says the following when a man gets accustomed to being meticulous in the observance of ala in oppositions to his natural and inborn tendencies this accustoms him to have his deep understanding Rule and his intellect control him it enhances his constant awareness of the importance of submitting to his inner sense and elevated conscience and trains him to be a spiritual person distancing him completely from coarseness see here the kazun is telling us a whole lot of thing we're going to break it up one line after another to truly understand the beauty of the words that the Kaz is choosing here to try to teach us how to stop being animals now the Kish is saying that when a person is is accustoming themselves person learns Torah learns mitv learns all the things that they need to do she's learning the things that she needs to do she's not going to use the excuse oh listen women are not obligated to learn Torah so you know all I do is I just watch whenever I have time that's not going to fly in sh why because if you don't learn the basic laws that you are responsible for such as the laws of Shabbat the laws of modesty the laws of the holidays the laws of Kash all of these different laws that are pertaining to you guess what your you know things that you're doing may be nice but you're not going to know what you're doing when the time counts and when does the time counts when all hell fails everything fails everything goes wrong Shabbat one of the kids turns off the light exactly where the dinner is supposed to be what do you do hint nothing but if let's say for example one of the kids turns on the hot water what do you do if one of the kids turns off or turns on one of the uh things the stove the oven or something else what do you do with these things naturally you're going to say yeah well I remove the danger I increase the convenience I'm having guests this is the natural inclination of every person but you have to know what you're allowed to do and what you're not allowed to do and you cannot use your emotions when it comes to these very difficult decisions and the reason why is because your emotions will lie to you they will mislead you and that's one of the tools Satan will use most often the same goes with guys when it comes to difficult tests that they have they have a very big customer in front of them this customer is a complete ignoramus complete fool he's willing to pay you 10 times the price that you sell this product to everyone else on on planet Earth he doesn't know he doesn't care he's just put an extra zero because he's so rich and stupid that he's just willing to pay you this money are you allowed to take this money if he's a Jew if he's a gentile doesn't make a difference these are things that obviously affect your pocket affect your net worth affect whether you're able to buy the house or pay the mortgage or pay the rent does it make a difference if you're poor does it make a difference if you're rich does it make a difference if you're struggling but just now and you're going to pay it back do do all of these make things make a difference the truth is that if you don't learn ala and M you are guaranteed to make the wrong choices in all of these particular things needless to say this also goes for all of the young people and older people that are struggling with the issues of immorality immorality is something that is unfortunately running rampant in society today whether it's immorality where people people are cheating on their wives cheating on their husbands they have a second wife a second husband a second boyfriend a secretary a some other that's looking to destroy their life and take their money whatever it is people have these things and the divorce rates are only increasing if they were a stock I would tell everybody to put all of their money in it because it's guaranteed good results unfortunately on the same token people also putting themselves off the street off the market where they simply don't want to get married they have the excuse where I can't find the right one uh lady you're 40 years old what right one just take anyone what right one oh I can't find the right one Rabbi what you can't find the right one you're 35 40 years old what right one just get any Jewish girl that's willing to marry you what right one what are you talking about how can you live 35 years without sinning oh you know Rabbi I try try do you understand what kind of damage you're doing to yourself and to society with your triy mentality it's because of you that Jewish people are dying it's because of you that your your your your family is struggling it's because of you that you have all of these issues because of you because you're just trying and you're only sinning four times a week instead of the average seven there's no permission to Sin is Sin a reality sure it's a reality but when is sin a real problem when you've accepted it as a norm sin is going to happen to everyone everyone is going to fail at some point or another some big some small some in the morning some at night some in the afternoon some down the road some 6 months later some once a year some once in a lifetime but nonetheless sin happens the Torah says and there's no such thing as a righteous person that doesn't sin but the difference between the righteous person that doesn't sin and the average person today that has accepted sin as a perfectly normal way to live is a be very big difference why that sadik when he makes a sin he Mourns over it he cries over it he does everything possible to fix it and make sure it doesn't happen again the sin of the people today unfortunately listen it happens but at least it's not as bad as last week what do you mean you didn't kill anybody last week no no just that uh this week I only wasted seed twice and uh but last week was much worse wait you mean you you killed more than a quarter billion people last week no no Rob I didn't kill anybody well each time you waste seed you're killing about a 100 million plus n that are supposed to come to the world that are all going to come and uh will pretty much beat the hell out of you once you leave this world unless you've done cha so unless I don't know you had the Holocaust no one never heard of how could last week be any worse no no last week it was uh well it was every day but now that you're telling me that maybe I don't want to tell you there is no permission yeah but it's a tough battle and I'm really trying and I don't think that God really is going to punish me okay you can think all you want in your La La Land it just doesn't work that way we don't learn Torah from feelings we learned Torah from the books and the books say otherwise you have a different book that supersedes all the other books bring it to us but as so long as your sour is your feelings it's not going to carry any weight now someone could say yeah but I'm really trying really hard you're telling me that I'm going to get judged just as harshly as someone who doesn't even try um well technically uh you're probably going to in a worse condition now this wasn't an answer that people expect cuz they figure wait if I'm trying and I'm working on myself to stop wasting seed to stop violating Shabbat to stop stealing to stop whatever it is that adultery or whatever it is out there that God forbids okay I'm trying to stop I learned about it I'm trying to control myself and it just happens to be that once a week twice a week you know I fail but there's another guy that is in my office that is in my company that is in my neighborhood that's even in SCH and sometimes he even is the Kazan whoever he is and he doesn't care at all he has a girlfriend he has a boyfriend he has a dog he has a cat and everybody he's married to he's doesn't care at all you're telling me that I'll get punished worse than him well again you have to evaluate exactly how many dogs and cats he has but nonetheless if you count pound-for-pound that particular sin that he's doing as far as let's say the wasting seed and you're wasting seed most likely you'll get punished much much worse than him and not most likely I'm actually being nice you're definitely going to get punished much worse than him why because you know because you know you're not allowed and therefore the magnitude of the damage is much worse now a person can say yeah so you know what it's better off not to know uh no it's not better off not to know because if you don't know then you don't know that you need to do chba and then you'll never stop but if you do know then you can continue fighting continue struggling but pick it up a notch and realize under no condition am I allowed to touch myself am I allowed to commit adultery am I allowed to steal am I allowed to violate Shabbat am I allowed to do all of these horrible sins that the has a whole entire section of the different death penalties that each one of these Sinners get so I'm not going to do it yeah but it's hard okay well it's harder to get stoned it's harder to get strangled it's harder to have lava pouring down your throat and guess what just because just because the is not around the says that doesn't mean that punishment is not around punishment still comes just the is responsible for it and he's more particular so a person needs to understand that the information that you're being given is to help you not to discourage you if it discourages you that's because you don't want to do CH that's because you're acting with emotions that's because you are simply not ready to change and the reason why we tell people that there is a four-step process regardless of where you are whether you're completely secular or you're religious whether you're married or you're single four-step process to doing chuba for this particular sin like wasting seed number one watch the movie tun Abit go to tun a.org watch the movie that's a start two learn the short clip that we have which is what is chuva m is discussed in the movie but there are some other particulars that are discussed in this short clip that we have step number three watch the entire playlist that we have on our app or on our YouTube channel that is for tun AB there is I don't know 150 or so different short and long shim in there become like at your house in that playlist how many times as often as necessary once a day once every other day once every 2 minutes it all depends but you have to watch these things as part of your daily day regiment once you've cut it out a little bit once you've you know been able to hold yourself for a few weeks at a time a few months at a time then perhaps you could lower it you don't have to watch it every single day you can watch it every other day or even every few days or even once a week depending on where you stand but so long as you struggle with this issue you need to watch the playlist but guess what there's a step number four step number four perhaps many people don't realize just the about just the movie just a little clip about chuba is not enough it's not enough why step number four learn mus on a regular basis of course we suggest our shim about of M all of our shim are generally speaking about musar have them as part of your daytoday study not once a week not once a month not once you feel like it but rather every single day why because you need additional information not just T issues not just morality issues but other things that will strengthen your n and your your overall mind and your overall HHH spirituality that is going to keep you going because if you only study that one particular subject it's not going to be enough for you you need something else to strengthen out the rest of the system this is why FES a four-step process and it works for those of you that think no no you know what I'll watch the movie I'll watch a few clips and then I'll stop okay I'll see you in about a month when you haven't why it's just the way it works I know it works we've helped thousands of people the problem is that people think that if I try a different way maybe there's a better way maybe there's an other way maybe this maybe that but go try it go uh subscribe to one of these websites that charges you a zillion dollars for nothing go do whatever it is that you want to do and come back in a year or two or three years and tell me it didn't work go do it it's you that's wasting your time and it's you that's adding more damage to your n why because you're acting with your emotions with your emotions you're thinking that there must be a shorter way an easier way a better way this is the way this is the way a way that works now unfortunately many times people don't want to deal with this in the right fashion they want to deal with it in a different fashion why because they figure listen if it's hard for me then God gave me this problem then surely understands that I I just can't do it just like the homosexual say listen if God didn't want me to be homosexual then why did he give me Cravings to like other men this is heretical to begin with heretical that mindset is heretical number one number two it's also a mindset that comes from ignorance ignorance of what is your obligation in the world your obligation in the world is to serve your creator not your creator to serve you and thereby your creator gave you different difficulties based on your actions in the previous carnations gave you certain difficulties for you to overcome as your servitude so if it's difficult for you to overcome your lust over difficult for you to over come your desire for food overcome your difficulty for whatever it is guess what that's exactly what he wants he wants you to overcome this yeah but it's tough Bingo you got the point see maybe you could start giving shim now the problem today is that everybody think God's works for them and he's supposed to give me and he is grateful that I'm just doing good and he's just grateful that I didn't kill anybody today and he's just grateful that I'm just a Jew even though I didn't select to be a Jew because I was just born from a Jewish woman so but he's happy no no he's not happy he's complete he's perfect with or without you you are the one that has a problem so long as you've accepted sin as a normal part of your life that is simply something God has to deal with and not you so the K is saying here when a man accustoms themselves to being meticulous in the obs observance of Al that in itself is opposite of what their natural and inborn tendencies are why the natural tendencies that a person has is what a person has done during their life in order to make themselves more inclined to do one thing versus another if a person was one of these people that likes to go out likes to go party then that person has in essence made made themselves made themselves more inclined to be promiscuous more inclined to be an adulterer more inclined to be a short-term minded type of person when it comes to relationships more inclined to be more materialistic because that's the scene that they're involved in that's the scene that they're in if the person was a somebody that didn't care about anybody else except whatever they wanted to do that person tends to be not just a loner in their in their uh uh job or in their uh day-to-day life but also a person that easily eliminates relationships simply doesn't care about them if somebody doesn't do what they want they could simply end a relationship as if it never existed even if the person helped them and did a lot for them no they simply cut that person off why I don't feel like it anymore person tends to be much more selfish much more egotistical much more inclined to think that they are better than the society that's around them if a person uh was uh very uh you know interested let's say for example in money to the point where that became the priority in their life obviously that makes them more materialistic but at the same token it also makes them more judgmental when they see somebody they evaluate the person based on what they're wearing and where they live rather than what kind of personality they have what kind of words come out of their mouth what kind of thoughts do they think about and bring to life so whatever a person uh does in their life will in essence shape their natural tendencies on the other hand the uh the Kish is saying there's also inborn Tendencies what are inborn Tendencies these are tendencies that are partially the same among all of us and partially the uh the same is what we had in our previous Carnation in our previous life before we came to this world and did not you know finish the job and therefore got another opportunity at life from God to fix it this time so some of these important Tendencies one of them we learn about in no where says that the natural inclination of each of his beings is evil the yet is evil they have evil Tendencies each one of us has evil Tendencies some more some less it all depends on how much a person Works ons themselves some people people have evil tendencies that are out in the open where they literally look for opportunities to demolish anyone that they possibly can without looking without caring of what the consequences are some people are so selfish and so uh uh egotistical that they literally willing to kill their own mother just for them to climb another another step in their ladder that they they had in their mind so some people have evil in different ways this is an evil inclination otherwise also people have a uh laziness people are naturally lazy not when it comes to everything but particular things that are have to do with the connection with God when it comes to something that they're attracted to such as money such as uh uh lust such as things like this the the hobbies that they have and so on all of a sudden they have all the energy in the world all week he'll complain that his legs are hurting all week he'll complain that he can barely move somebody offers him a trip why don't you come on a trip oh where are we going we're going to the Grand Canyon you know what that sounds great I'm coming yeah but you realize that in the Grand Canyon you have to walk miles upon miles yeah yeah yeah no I'm fine I'm good I'm good but I thought you you didn't feel good I just asked you out of being nice but I didn't actually think you say yes no no no no I'm good I'm good thanks for inviting me this is good for me this this I'm going to beat it all of a sudden he has the energy to walk miles why because in reality it all it depends it hurts when he doesn't have a reason to overcome it not enough of a reason to overcome it so laziness is something that all of us have when it comes to certain things specifically when it comes to serving hem someone says listen you just came from the uh from the Grand Canyon right you had a good time yeah why don't you uh come with me sure no no no it's too far well well it's not that far I mean it's 15 20 minute walk it's Shabbat we can't we can't drive so uh we're not go and we're not reformed and we're not deformed we have to walk on you know we have to walk yeah I'm tired my legs hurt my legs hurt you know my legs I told you my legs hurt yeah but you just came back from the grand n you know that was a one time thing Grand cany was a one time thing really because of the Grand Canyon I didn't know how tough it is all of a sudden he doesn't have energy all of a sudden his legs hurt okay so you call him on Monday and listen uh you want to come to sh want to come to sh no no no my leg sht no no I can drive you you don't have to walk anywhere no no my legs hurt my legs hurt it just it bothers me and my legs hurt and and all of a sudden no energy why because when it comes to servitude of hem everyone has some form of laziness this also comes to religious people people that pray every day will sometimes make a mistake in their prayer on they'll forget to say the added part and is if it's a you don't have to repeat it but if it's you have to repeat the whole prayer all over again the whole amid all over again now it's the morning prayer he just finished an hour into it then at the end of the prayer he's ready to go to work it's 8:00 in the morning he has his and one of the people says and the clock ticks in and he hold on a second wait did I say I see guess what if you're questioning it that's because you didn't do it you're questioning because you didn't do it because a person doesn't question what they know for sure they did how do you know you for sure if you did something you become accustomed to either because you've said it already 100 times or because you've it's it's been an extended period of time more than a month has passed and certainly by now you've got accustomed to it so uh either way a person now has to decide what does he have to decide do I have do I go and pray again because the prayer you did didn't count oh but I got to go to work and I'll be I'll be I'll be late and the client and the appointment and what am I going to do and this has to do with laziness to a certain extent where a person will automatically become lazy he has all the ambition in the world to go have a meeting for four hours straight just to close a deal he has all the energy in the world to go on vacation to the Grand Canyon or some other Zoo he has all the energy in the world to take care of all of the hobbies and the luxuries of life that he enjoys but when it comes to serving all of a sudden my legs hurt all of a sudden my legs hurt so this is one of the natural inclinations that a person is born with one of the other ones that is uh that is common among all is the and also several other places says a person's natural inclination from himself the inner inclination is not to see the obligation in himself what does it mean it means you're watching the shoe right now you're hearing some of this stuff the natural inclination of a person is to think that of all of the people this stuff has to do with everyone accept themselves oh lazy yeah yeah my husband's lazy oh the The Lex her excuse yeah I just heard my girlfriend say that yeah yeah she said that last week oh and they not wanted to do meat yeah that's my cousin oh and the this one is stealing yeah that's my other friend and all of the people that you know or don't know you heard about you read about that have these flaws that's who the person naturally thinks about instead of themselves am I really lazy am I really uh Thief am I really this am I the natural inclination is for a person is not to see the obligation themselves that is a natural inclination the inner inclination of a person unless the person fixes themselves which takes time and a lot of effort takes time and a lot of effort the other parts of the inner inclinations the inborn tendencies that a person has are things that they had in the previous life that simply were not fixed a person that was angry in their previous life or stingy in their previous life or whatever the you know flaw they had in the previous life and they did not fix it and therefore part of the reason of why they had to be reincarnated is because of this character flaw guess what that character flaw stays with them that character flaw stays with them I'll even tell you more says which in English is called he says that when he speaks to certain these are spirits of people that have died that entered the bodies of people that are alive in order to hide from some of the mikim that are torturing them and a few other reasons and none the re and part of the reason is actually because they're allowed to punish these people that they're entering and in one of the stories the uh the woman that came to R was a righteous woman her and her mother came to Raya saying that they feel like she has a debuk there's something strange going on she hears a voice she feels like someone is raping her is all types of horrible things checks and confirms yes she indeed has a debuk and not only she has a debuk but after a process he identifies that debuk is her brother who died who was a very very Wicked person horrible person and this brother gives details of what he looks like and how he was a very beautiful person and extraordinarily uh promiscuous uh to the point where the prostitutes would pay him just to be with him and this person uh uh lived a life that was disastrous Hashem killed him took his life and he is now in kafak and now as uh as one of the things he got permission to enter his sister because she made some mistake she did something wrong and therefore she got this punishment where her own brother enters her so now as talking to this n to this to this debuk all of a sudden he sees the girl clock out she's out of it and uh which usually happens but in a different fashion and the guy doesn't talk anymore then after some time passes starts talking again and he asks him what did you do no I had to do something what did you do he finds out he raped his sister the one that he's in she feels 100% what a rape feels like because why did you do it he says I have to what do you mean you have to it's your sister She's suffering she's this he goes you don't understand that's how I died I died a promiscuous person I can't control myself I have to like a dog or Worse actually so if a person dies with a ptty mouth guess what if they're reincarnated or they go to Gom or they go to kafak wherever they go that pony mouth stays with them if they're promiscuous it stays with it doesn't go away just because a person gets out of this shell they call a body doesn't mean that all of the filth they've accumulated in their life goes away in some garbage pale that the sanitation department is going to collect so a person must understand that whatever inclination you have now whatever tendency you have now it's nothing new this is something you've had and hasem kept it in you in order for you to overcome it is it easy obviously not because if it was you would have overcome it last time is it difficult certainly difficult is it possible is really the right question and the answer to that is yes now it sometimes feels impossible but with enough Torah and M to go along with it certainly this is all possible but a person must realize must realize that they have to they have to overcome it and never accept failure even though no failure would happen and you don't need to kill yourself over failure because it's part of the Journey part of the journey to success is a whole long road full of failure certainly you're going to fail along the way but so long as you don't accept a failure as this is it you are on your road to success keep trying keep pushing and the goal is to eventually succeed never think that just because it's difficult for you therefore it's okay it's never okay and in fact you should know that the second time around just like the person that knows more information knows more truth the punishment is much more severe why because you've had the same chance multiple times similar to if you had let's say an employee okay you had an employee this employee was you know like one of these people that's likeif you know they work sometimes they don't work some sometimes they're in sometimes they're not in but they do good work whenever they actually do work so one day you have this meeting with this worker you tell her listen lady uh you do good work but I don't appreciate that you don't show up every other Monday I don't appreciate that sometimes you're late I don't appreciate that sometimes the deadlines are simply something that's almost like a recommendation for you not necessarily an obligation I don't appreciate these things and I especially don't appreciate that you like to do everybody else's work except yours so please from now on this is the job this is what you need to do this is the order this is the structure thank you okay thank you very much I appreciate it I didn't know it bother you that much I didn't know this I'm going to do better okay so you had a meeting everything came out good everything works out and a month later you check the system you see what almost nothing has changed almost nothing has changed except except the date so of course the second time you have a meeting with this person it's not going to be the same as the first time if first meeting was like listen we really like your work but we appreciate the second time you have a meeting is like listen uh if you don't change I'm firing you and that's only if you really really do like the work that she does or he does if you don't change I'm firing you like now it's a threat last time it was please change now I'm threatening you yes I'm telling you if you don't change I'm firing you now if you see that this person disregards you the third time then certainly you're going to fire them are you going to think about the fact oh but she has kids oh she depends on this income oh this no you're not going to think about all those things why you warned her multiple times and she doesn't care so it's her fault her blood is in her hands this is what Torah says to people that commit homosexual sins ancestral sins beastiality the says their blood is in their hands why they got a fair warning multiple times in the Torah they got a whole history of people that Hashem punished severely for these crimes they didn't listen guess what the your blood is in your hands your blood is in your hands you caused it nobody else did oh but what if I was born this way you're not born this way you're not born with some guy that you're married to you're born with certain inclinations perhaps you're more attracted to someone feminine perhaps you are more feminine perhaps this perhaps that no one is born with a husband and he's a boy no one is born with a wife either you're born with certain inclinations that will either develop in a positive way or a negative way if you understand your obligation in the world you're going to work on taking advantage of your positive attributes that are in line with the Tah and build on those and try to work the best you possibly can to remove and overcome the negative attributes that you have in order not to go against God but if you're simply going to follow whatever physical inclination you have then guess what there's a reason why in the when they talk about the punishment of homosexuality and how they get punished at the San and so on guess what they put uh Beast ity right next to homosexuality it's in the same exact Mish same way that they have it in the Torah every time you see homosexuality right next to it there is beastiality because in the eyes of aad it's unnatural it's an Abomination and therefore it is the same it is the same whether you have intimacy with a cow or with a same gender person same exact thing now you're saying but I have an inclination and I'm disgusted by women and I'm disgusted by this guess what buddy God knows exactly what you have you're not going to fool him he gave you certain inclinations he gave you certain tools to overcome them and you have the ability to do so you simply choose not to you simply choose to be a beast so guess what you'll be slaughtered like a beast why that's the way God works he gave you tools you misused them because you figured that yeah but this is not good for me I don't agree with this when you decide when you decide that uh that a whole Animal Farm is either going to live or die then you can give them the rules too beforehand but since you didn't create this world and it's not your animal farm you can't decide what the rules are God created this world he has rules he gave you everything that you have he gave you the air in your lungs he gave you the food in your mouth he gave you every single thing that you have you have to comply with his rules you don't like it okay learn enough to you'll see see that it's good for you you'll see that it's it's it's the best thing for you but so long as you think that your physical desires are what is supposed to be the driving force behind your actions you are no different than the animal you're being compared to same concept goes for any other type of Sinner sin happens mistakes happens I don't want anyone to think that the the righteous people don't make any sins they don't make any mistakes and it's just the people out there that are not they make mistakes everybody makes mistakes but the difference is once a person tries to be righteous they don't accept that mistake as this is the norm I just have to like it I just have to enjoy it I just have to make the best of it and I'm because I'm going to continue doing it no you have to overcome it so there are natural inclinations that a person creates as a result of their own actions and then there's these inborn tendencies that are something that they have actually had for some time even before this life then the Kish continues and he says when this person gets accustomed to being meticulous in the observance of Al which is the opposite of his inborn Tendencies and his natural tendencies this accustoms him to have his deep understanding Rule and his intellect control him what does it mean is is a deep understanding Rule and his intellect control him when a person realizes that if I follow my emotions then nine out of 10 times I'm going to make a mistake not just in my servitude of Hashem but generally speaking in everything in life if I make a business decision based on my emotions nine out of 10 times it's going to be a wrong decision why because you have to look at a business based on bottom line not just necessarily profits or losses but simply bottom line what does this product do what does this company do is this something that people need is this something that people would want it has to do with things that are actual uh that that are factual you have to look at something there not just like you know what I like their logo oh you know what I like the company Colors oh you know what I really like that CEO he's so nice that's not going to help you in life it's not going to help you why you have to look at bottom stuff that's how the world works now this makes it difficult at times for women why because naturally they're more emotional unfortunately in this generation men have become more women and women have become more like men where they're a little less emotional and they're more emotional but nonetheless a person needs to know when it comes to your servitude of hasem even more than anything else you have to try your best to eliminate the emotions when it comes to serving hasem how do you do that by becoming more meticulous when it comes to that means you have to learn learn what it says if you don't understand it double check ask the rabbi a question double check in another book that that you heard it in a you didn't understand it ask the rabbi uh the rabbi that gave the sh doesn't respond perhaps you should ask a different Rabbi don't ask a different Rabbi about a rabis is you first ask the one that said it then ask somebody else even more so you after you've asked it ask him where is it in the book where can I see what you said in the book he tells you the source you look in a book you try to understand it you study the issue don't just say listen I heard that you're allowed to do XYZ so it's okay right no no no you have to check you have a responsibility your life is in your hands it's not in anybody's hands you can't just say listen I heard it in the sh so therefore it's allowed right no just because you heard it in the sh doesn't mean it's allowed and just because you heard the doesn't mean it's not allowed you have to double check your life is in your hands if all of a sudden you heard it in the news ladies and gentlemen a new uh goodbye law was passed by Nancy Pelosi everyone's allowed to murder for the next 24 hours and that's it news is over so what are you going to go first thing kill the neighbor that makes a lot of noise next thing the competition next thing and then you're going to find out wait that was just hoax that was some hackers that was some people that made La yeah yeah but I heard in the news double check double check you have a responsibility your life is in your hands you can't just make these rash moves just because you hurt it somewhere you have to double check and even sometimes triple check because your life is in your hands it's not in anybody else's hand so if a person is going to play the lazy button or I don't have time uh uh card this is not going to work out so well this is not going to work out so well God's going to ask you wait how come you had time to go to school and to go to work and to go bowling and to go uh to Thanksgiving and to go to everything else but you didn't have enough time to double check whether you're allowed to do any of those activities how come you got time you had four hours to waste on Netflix you had 6 hours to waste on baseball you had 10 hours to waste on football and 12 12 hours playing poker that you had time but to go double check if you're allowed to do any of those things which shouldn't take you more than a half hour in total that you didn't have time how come oh because you know I didn't think about it I asked and the rabbi you know I figured since I saw and and these are not going to help you these are not going to help a person in sh why you have a responsibility you have a responsibility and unfortunately today the mindset of people today is the Quick Fix Quick Fix either they go to Rabbi Google yes or no or they just ask somebody that has a keep on and if he says yes if he says no that's enough what if he's wrong what if he's wrong oh no then but you already told me guess what that's not going to help you it's not going to help you what you're responsible to know you're responsible to know for you surely he's whoever you ask is responsible to know for themselves but you're still respon that doesn't uh uh uh negate the fact that you are responsible for you doesn't absolve you from it so when a person decides that they're going to become more meticulous in their observance of ala they're going to have a fight a fight against their inborn tendencies and the way to win that fight is by getting themselves used to using their deep understanding of the law and their intellect using that to make decisions that means if I don't understand it I'm not doing it not doing it you need to make the decision wait this is allowed or it's not allowed uh I don't know okay so let's go check no no but we got to go we got to do it just do it or not no no no no it's not just do it or not I need to go check okay so just do it then and you know find that after no no no I'm not going to do it oh you're not going to do it how you not going to do it it's you're going to lose out listen I don't know if I'm allowed or I'm not allowed I have to double check there was one time a guy that uh was doing Juba and uh this may sound silly to some people but he was very proud of this why you know he's one of these heavy guys big desire for food he tells me I overcame it I said what' you overcome the cookie what do you mean cookie he's like listen on Shabbat you know my wife she cooks good food and uh I really like the food she makes but this Shabbat you know she got some snacks and everything we the sh you have to be on Shabbat all the snacks all the good stuff so my wife got some cookies I said okay what's the problem you didn't eat the cookies no no Rabbi it's not about I didn't eat the cookie I ate the cookie I just I didn't eat it right then I'm like why didn't you eat the cookie he says because we had the chant the chant had meat and uh usually after you know CH I have a tea you know some cookies and everything and then I went to get the box of cookies and she got it from the koser store so I know it's kosher it's just that this is apparently like a bakery they make their own stuff so they forgot to put whether this cookie is parve or it's Dairy and it had chocolate on it had like chocolate chips and I asked my wife is this dairy or is it parve my wife says I have no idea it's at the kosher store I know it's kosher but uh check he's like I checked there's no sticker yeah but I really want a cookie right now okay so you know it's in front of you no but but I don't know if it's Dairy then if it's Dairy I just ate meat and it's milk and meat and you know Rabbi says it's Gom or all types of other horrible stuff and the balat says I have to go into Gom of of of snow and they oh horrible things just for the cookie okay so don't eat the cookie yeah but it's an emotional decision for me I want the cookie he's a big guy he likes cookies cute but and guess what he didn't eat the cookie he didn't eat the cookie it doesn't sound like a big deal but it's a huge deal why it shows the has now you that don't have desire for cookies sound it sounds ridiculous to you ah come on what's a big deal you know what things I overcame one time I had this everybody has their little stories that's his story that's his story overcame the cookie and guess what it helped them learn more helped him do more grow why because it's not that he knew it's not allowed and therefore he didn't do it he just didn't know eventually he found out it's parv so he was allowed to technically eat it but technically he couldn't eat it without knowing so a person needs to understand that when you are becoming more meticulous with t with it's going to be an inner battle not just a battle with the people around you that are telling you to go to a Thanksgiving dinner or lunch not just a battle with your friends that are telling you to come watch baseball and basketball and all types of sports not just a battle with the society at large that is telling you you should remove all of your clothes and become like a cow just like them not just to battle with the upside down business world that is literally building itself off of like a pyramid SCH team after another no you're not just fighting those outside battles you're going to have an inner battle the inner battle which is the inner inclinations that you have developed yourselves and ones you've already have from your previous life and the only way to overcome all of those is through becoming meticulous in Al to the point where unless I understand it I'm not doing it I'm not doing it and this forces a person to use their intellect rather than their emotions and therefore the K says this will enhance the constant importance constant awareness of the importance of submitting to his inner sense and his elevated conscience and trains him to be a spiritual person distancing him completely from coarseness how so how does this actually happen when a person learns the AL then follows the AL knows that there's going to be different exterior interferences and influences inner interferences and influences natural inclination to just let it go be more laidback do whatever I feel and feel whatever I do that's the inner battle the outer battle we already discussed but now he says no I'm following the book yeah but this uh joeo that calls himself a rabbi he says that everything's going to be okay you're going to get all of your MIT back even though this uh book says otherwise okay can you show me that in a book no no it's not in a book it's it's man it's okay have a lot of books that says this Mumble jumbo that the guy says n he doesn't remember oh he doesn't remember okay so when he remembers tell him to send it to me tell him to send it to me so then I can live by it because if it doesn't say it in the book by one of the greats one of the Giants of the generations then obviously this is not going to be part of my understanding ah come on you you always like that you're always so fanatic it's not fanatic it's meticulous stop fanatic we're not teaching things that are above and beyond your responsibility we're teaching your responsibility that's it see none of what we've taught over the last eight nine years or so has been what's called stringencies or in Hebrew all we teach is the basic law it's sad that the basic law seems so unreachable and detestable in some people's eyes but the reality is those that follow to the best of their ability end up thanking Hashem a million and a half times and sometimes they even say thank you to us why because the basics of the law are good for you the problem is that the inner inclination the inner Tendencies the outside interferences and and and negative Inspirations are going to tell you that these Basics are not Basics they are stringencies they are fanatic they are too much God doesn't care about that stuff he cares of whether you're a good person or not and whether you are a good person or not is subjective some people may think you're a good person perhaps some people will not but God will always see you in a positive light why cuz he's all loving where do they find this which book is this in ah perhaps it's in a fairy tale by Disney maybe Disney wrote a you know a new Bible but no God of Israel ever said such things no Sage of Israel ever said such things in fact not even the false IDE idolatrous religions have said such things not that we learn anything from them but literally even the Idol idol worshippers don't say stupid things like this who says things like this people that have simply decided that sin is perfectly fine and they like it and they're not willing to change usually it's because of ignorance more than it is because of Desire now the K says that if a person becomes more meticulous in their Torah observance learns more about the law learns more about the details in addition to the m in addition to the to the character trait development this is going to force him or her to use their intellect rather than their emotions and this will ultimately enhance their constant awareness of the importance of submitting to their inner sense to their elevated conscious what is this inner sense and elevated conscious sometimes a person has an issue in front of them and they know the truth they know the truth they know that they're allowed or not allowed to do something but either they have a desire to do something an interest to do something whatever it is that's steering them the other way and all the intellect in the world is not helping it's not sufficient yeah I know I'm not allowed but I I still want to do it that's when the inner elevated conscious comes in telling the person listen Steve you know you're not allowed to waste seed you know you're not allowed to touch that woman you know you're not allowed to touch that man you know you're not allowed to steal that money listen you're not allowed to do that stuff you know that yeah I know but I don't care one time man one time and I'll do Chua yeah but you know you're not allowed I know I'm not allowed stop reminding me I know but one time man one time so all of a sudden the inner conscious comes in hey Steve you're right that is attractive that is attractive that money that thing that attractive you're 100% right oh so I'm going to do it no no no listen it's attractive it looks delicious everything you said you're right you're not delusional question is is it worth the price what you talk about getting them again well that but we don't have to get to that right away what then well look you've been doing Chua 5 years you've been keeping Shabbat you got married you had a kid or two you know you going to sh the community knows you they even have you as Kazan once a week they had you at some awards dinner they even gave you like a maybe next year you'll even go on stage you've been reading the the thear you're part of the sh every week already for the last three years Dai you watch your Shure you know you you're in no no what's your point what's your point question is is she worth losing all of that what do you mean losing all of that but you realize that yeah you may have this right now and whatever you know pleasure you have it's going to be momentary but you do realize that there's an eye that's watching and an ear that's listening and a hand that's writing everything you do and someone that desecrates hashem's name and hiding the punishment is public exposure so when God does decide to publicly expose this your wife is going to find out your kids are going to find out the community is going to find out and that's just the beginning is it really worth it is she worth it is he worth it is that worth it and even more than that all of those MIT that you've gathered over the last five years you've been doing chuva is it worth it to just throw them all in the garbage why are they going to the garbage well technically it's going to feel like they're in a garbage because you're GNA have to suffer in gum for this and those MIT are not going to help you while you're in gome so it's going to feel like all the MIT went into garbage because you're in Gom and what can't help you while you're there so when a person learns even if the knowledge of the law itself is insufficient the M that they've learned creates an inner voice an inner conscious that can help that very same person when push comes to shove when the moment of Truth arrives and reminds him is it really worth it to make that sin I know you know but that's not helping you is it worth it to lose it all of that is it worth it to cheat on your wife that's given you several kids is it worth it to betray your boss is it worth it to betray your employees is it worth it to betray your community is it worth it to betray yourself just for that just for that one thing is it really worth it says this is why the combination of the musar and becoming meticulous when it comes to the law becoming meticulous when it comes to why they have to go together because this trains them to become a spiritual person distancing him completely from from coarseness how does such a thing distance a person from being coarseness this is a different set of teachings you see every one of the words that the uses here as the rest of the we've had there's a certain amount of weight that goes into every word they're not just saying something just to make it a nice paragraph that rhymes how does everything we just learn have anything to do with being a rude person a vulgar person a coarse person how does that what was that have to do with it you see if you're meticulous with the law then you're going to be meticulous with the entire law and not just the part of the law that you like shalom in the which is SE by his grandfather he republished it and he wrote in a story about a person that he calls a what's a Aid that's a drunk and you'll see in a moment why he called him a drunk raon says there was a certain that took upon himself to become very meticulous when it comes to Blessings where he made sure to make at least a 100 blessings every day and look for opportunities to make a blessing eat the apple because I want to make the blessing eat the bread to do eat this this for this becoming a fanatic about blessing fantastic it's good make blessings but question is what's behind it he said one time this walks in to a place full of Jews and he sees a very very short man like a now this B is operating like everybody else talking and so on but this gets the excitement of his life like he just won the lotto he starts running toward this little guy and he's running and he's running and his long PE flying everywhere and he's running and he's running and he's excited oh I can't wait and he gets there and he gets there and he gets there and he takes the little guy and he picks up up in the air and he [Applause] says and he puts him down what are you doing why there a from page 58b says when you see somebody really small you have to make a blessing so I'm making a blessing I'm excited about the blessing yeah you you drunk not like this not embarrassing and murdering this guy in public you want to go make your blessing go make it somewhere else pick up the guy an adult like he's some price possession that's not meticulous in that's fanatic to the point of disaster when a person understands that the whole goal of becoming meticulous with the AL is in order to serve hasem and become a better person a better servant of Hashem a a better Jew a better servant of society then certainly they're going to use the different ways and different tools that Hashem gives us to function and better Society altogether as well as ourselves but when a person simply sees these Mitzvah opportunities as just the a way for them to attain their so-called righteousness that's in their mind then certainly this is fanaticism fanaticism that usually hurts the others Shalom had a student was in his and the student came to the rav and said I've read about the of wearing a and studied it intensely and I know that say that in order for one to wear it all day learning Torah they have to make sure that their mind is clear of any foreign thoughts they only learn the only thinking Torah which I'm certainly capable of and even more so they need to have a clean body which I don't have to worry about my body is clean both of you know filth but also the inner issues digestive issues and so on so because of that R I want your permission for me to wear all day while I study Smiles at a student he says you're right according to a you've studied it and you're allowed to wear the but I forbid you from doing it so the students all wait on one hand you said I'm allowed to do it but on other hand you said I'm not allowed to do it exactly yes why he says you're right exactly what the says you have to have a clean body you have to have a clean mind and since you studied it technically you're allowed to do it what you didn't include is that you see the said that since most people cannot maintain a clean body it's no longer accustom for people to wear fine all day CU most people can't do it but you can do it she says so why is that a bad thing so it's not a bad thing so you see says hasem is disgusted by arrogance it's considered an abomination in his eyes so when you walk around as the only person in the entire with on his head the whole day nobody else is wearing just you 200 people one guy wearing the whole day naturally your inclination is going to tell you look at them these low lies either they filthy minds or filthy bodies not like me got clean body clean mind baby got this onef car when he was talking about this no longer accustom he didn't think about me and that Abomination that will be in your mind is much much worse than the little bit of Mitzvah that you're going to get by wear feeling in comparison and therefore I forbid you from there we learn from that yes there are certain things that a person can be allowed to do it but they shouldn't because the negative Dam the negative that could come out of it such as arrogance such as hurting others is much worse than the positive that was gained when a person person is meticulous rather than fanatic meticulous about the Mitzvah not just what to do but how to do it when to do it why to do it the world of the Mitzvah then certainly this is going to make the person much less coarse much less rude much less obnoxious much less of a disaster to Society at large and in fact a much greater addition to his community and to his marriage and to his children and to everybody else but if you see that your Mitzvah observance and meticulousness is causing anguish to other people that are more or less also observant just not as observant as you are don't look at them and say oh there's something wrong with them look in the mirror and say what am I doing wrong the mid says that his head was also buried inside because he thought about the mitv the details all the things you can do of the salt M of this m of that but that's where he left it at he had all these thoughts about what he can do but he never actually did them many times people theorize themselves as this tadik that they have in their mind so what they do is everything they can do to look like this image of a tadik grow a beard P have a big hat jacket pants what about the Torah when I get time what about m n when I get a chance what about the inside no no inside I'm good I'm good and they start trying to look like this tadik by seeming to be stringent on the most unnecessary things seeming to be very zealous on the most ridiculous things and when do you see that they're really fakers you're not going to see it in their Mitzvah observance because you'll probably see them at CH and you'll probably see them dress modest and you'll probably see them make blessings and say the is and eat kosher you're going to see that but at some point or another their falsehood will come out when you see the damage they cause society and how they treat their wives or if they're a woman how they treat their husbands well you had one time a story come out not that long ago where a so-called religious woman was the new hire in a kindergarten and one of the mothers that sent her little baby four-year-old 5-year-old kid to this kindergarten saw that the kid is changing acting strange doesn't want to talk anymore all types of strange things so she had one of these little cameras put on the baby or in her bag or something recording this whole thing and what this camera recorded this so-called religious woman was cursing up a storm wishing for the Creator to take away the baby's lives cursing them call them you are children from Gom you are this you are that little kids why because they're hungry or because they need change a diaper or because of some other reason they're being babies but this so-called teacher that looks religious perhaps they could uh teach and gay know but not in this world now if you look at this woman in the street say oh this perfectly religious woman she makes her blessings she looks modest you look at this person in the street say oh look he looks religious he goes to sho got stal got the Beards got the hats got the pale got this got that yeah but how come his last uh show was to a mixed crowd with boys and girls dancing and making s s how come the last business deal he did was a non- koser deal that no Rabbi would allow how come he's involved in all types of shady things how come how come he's religious right yeah to to a point a person could be meticulous about certain things but the truth will come out about them when it comes to how they affect society and of course when I say how they affect society that certainly goes along with how they act in accordance to the Torah because sometimes they think that they're affecting Society in a positive way by doing things that are forbidden in the tah and certainly that's forbidden now a person would think that the law is too strict the first time they look at it there's too many details what they don't realize is that those exact details are not only what's necessary to observe the law but those exact details of what's necessary in order for you to reshape your mind to reshape your natural inclinations into what they need to be the details of the law are not just needed for the law to be executed the right way but it's needed for you to get to where you need to be so now if you ask a person listen have you heard of the in his book about yeah yeah yeah of course never say any never say any okay do you study the book of L no no I don't say so I don't need to study the book of L but my neighbors all day they say you give them the book do you realize that what you just did is oh it is maybe you do need to learn the laws of and your neighbors too when you come to people tell about the laws of what do they think is is whatever disagrees with their conscience with their feelings with their emotions oh look the rabbi is talking bad about another Rabbi that I like so that's guys that Rabbi is bad oh do you know the laws of do you know that actually not only is it not to speak against Heretics but it's actually a mitvah that brings Mercy to the entire world so much so that it could stop the next Holocaust oh no you didn't know that you thought still you see when people don't know the details they become stringent when they're supposed to be lenient and lenient when they're supposed to be stringent they make the things that are short long and the things that are that are long short sort of what they do with the modesty and wigs of today they make that longer by giving their wives a long Idol worshiping wigs and the skirt that's supposed to cover our entire leg they make it shorter so she looks like somebody they saw on TV a person needs to understand to be meticulous with the law is not because that's the only way to fulfill that Mitzvah but it's also because the only way for you to fix yourself fix ourselves the law is necessary NE the details of the law are necessary but if you see that you're not becoming better despite following the MIT certainly you need to check something maybe you're not really following like you think you do there's a lot more work to be done if a person looks at the outcome rather than the process certainly they're going to have t in their hands if a person looks at the of eating kosher they'll be baffled in how many details there are when it comes to slaughtering says that to teach people about is much easier than teaching them about why usually that has to do with somebody else not everybody's a slaughterer they figured somebody else has to do all these crazy stringencies even though they're not stringencies they're the basics of the law same concept as the laws of the basics of the law but people think that anything that is too much for them and where they are is stringency for example if a person takes the slaughtering knife and has a little Nick in a knife he Slaughters that animal that entire cow is he makes sure the next cow doesn't cause him a $25,000 loss so he makes sure to sharpen the knife takes the cow everything is ready and he takes the knife and he stops in the middle and then goes guess what you just lost another 25 $330,000 why now to stop okay third cow he's the owner so no one can fire him but he wants to show his employees that he really knows what he's doing takes the takes the knife and goes and he presses a little bit to make sure that he cuts it nothing is left extra tough right now have to put pressure on it now you don't know these little details guess what you just lost $100,000 or more if I told you this is the details that have to be followed in order for you to eat kosher meat you going say oh as too much as too stringent as to this but guess what if you if you're if the person that's slaughtering your food doesn't do that you can't eat kosher so if he is willing to do that for whatever wage they give him how much more so does that obligate us to follow the details of the law for the wages of God gives us there was a young kid in 1955 story was originally told by P cron and one of hisim came out in multiple additions one was the uh Echoes of the mid another one is a seph of the mid stories for children and he has some amazing Stories because he's literally been around sikim throughout his entire life and uh saw these stories in real life so 1955 there was a uh family that lived in Switzerland that uh was the mariles family and each year they would go to this hotel this Jewish this hotel that had uh Jewish community in it and uh for vacation and one year the uh the husband couldn't go so it it's just the mother and a son the mother's uh name was um dor and the kid's name was laser laser marus this kid was six years old and each year they would go to this place for vacation for a few days and they had the same room each year and as they got to the room unpacked everything all of a sudden not going to Door Mrs marilus opens the door and she sees the owner of the hotel Mr pugach nervous in front of her Mrs marus I'm sorry I I need to speak to you for a moment yes we just found out that the rovic rovic is here and he just had a surgery and the doctor told him that he has to relax he cannot stay home with all the people that are bothering him every day and asking questions and everything he has to heal so he came here to heal came to our hotel the problem is that the only place that I have a room is on the third floor and the r is in no position to go up all these stairs for three stories and I was wondering if perhaps you'd be willing to give up your room and I'll give you a room on a third floor so Mrs Mara says uh yes I would be happy to give the rovic my room but you know this also affects my son so let's ask him sure sure let's ask him so little laser comes he goes yes what can I do so the owner says to him the movich he is here and wondering if you'll be willing to give up your your bed your room and go to a different room upstairs on the third floor laser said sure no problem I don't mind giving the rub my bed be happy do wonderful so quickly the owner got some people from the hotel to help the mother and the son get their stuff together and bring them up to the uh third floor shortly after they settle down in the new room on the third floor the door knocks yes but this time it's not the owner of the hotel it's the rabbit rebon kovic's wife say hi I just wanted to thank you so much for for giving us your room giving the r your room is certainly going to help him recover we really want to say thank you so the mother says of course yeah no it's our pleasure thank you very much for coming you didn't have to and then the raban says to little boy laser can I can I give you a little chocolate I'll buy you from the store downstairs and the boy ler thinks about goes no I don't need chocolate I don't need it thank you I was happy to give my room to the R so rapan says okay well I want to do something nice for you to show you that we appreciate that you gave the rub your bed so I'm going to go to the stores in a little while perhaps I can get you a a toy what toy would you like so the boy thinks for a moment he says no I don't need a toy my parents gave me everything I need I'm I'm happy that I did the mitzvah for and and for for the ra and gave him my bed so the raban is so amazed by this little kid she just yeah but but how could we show you that we're really appreciative of what you did and the little boy laser showed what he his natural inclinations are and said the following after thinking for a few moments he said something that would change the lives of many and he says to the raban you see I gave my bed to the rav perhaps one day I'm going to want to go to his Yeshiva in ponich the ponich ISA perhaps the rabbi will also give me a bed in his Yeshiva the ran was so amazed at this six-year-old boy she said absolutely she takes a piece of paper she writes down laser marus will have a bed at yat ponich if he ever comes she says signs it she has one second she goes downstairs three floors gives it to the rovic he signs the letter she comes back up she goes here you go if you ever come to the you bring this letter and of course the kid was happy the ranit was happy and who's happier than his mother but that's not where the story ends in 1965 that boy is 6 16 years old and he decides that he wants to go to the of pich in is and he comes flies into the country shows up at the admission desk and is told we're sorry but you didn't pass the test so we we have a thousand other boys already filling up this Yeshiva we can't just make exceptions and he tries to get into the Yeshiva the regular way but it didn't work and that was his dream for years he thought about this Yeshiva and he tried his best with whatever talents and abilities God gave him he tried and it just wasn't enough so you asked the rabbi behind the desk can I speak to the rabbitson please before I leave says to him sure but the rabbitson doesn't make decisions about who gets in or out of the Yesa but I'll bring her to you to speak to you okay so the rabbitson comes as soon as she comes see the boy she doesn't know who he is he takes a little note out of his pocket and he gives it to the rabbitson the rbit face lights up it's you come with me right now she takes the boy come right to thei pic's office everybody's amazed at this they have no idea what's going on but they're just following what's going on why who is this kid as soon as she gets to the office she gives the note to rovic he reads the note he gets up out of his chair and he gives the kid laser the biggest hug of his life and says to him of course you have a bed here of course you have a bed here because of you life was changed for so many the things a little boy says now that kid used whatever ability and talents and inclinations that he had to get into the Yesa in a normal fashion and it wasn't enough but the inner inclinations that he had already at 6 years old that were taught to him by his mommy that was already brought him from his previous Carnation that got him that little note but the reality is that if it wasn't for the combination of those two alongside with the inclination of theim the rovic and his reiton keeping their word taking a kid seriously not only will the story have been never told it would have never happened but so many lives would have never changed that kid went to the isovic and stayed there for 10 years until this day he still lives in the area you see every single one of us is given a certain amount of talents and abilities and flaws and pluses and minuses and cons and and all types of things our job in this world is to better ourselves the way to better ourselves is through the Torah by learning the law being meticulous with the law and understanding when and how to fulfill it to do that we we need to combine the the learning of the law with M when you combine it you're not only going to better yourself as a servant of hem better yourself as a Jew better yourself as a wife better yourself as a husband better yourself as a son or a daughter but even more than anything else you'll better yourself as a person that's part of society because you will be a light to anyone that looks at you and that rabai it may not be easy in fact it's not but that's the purpose that each and every single one of us will never accept our failures as the end but rather as another opportunity to overcome the obstacles and serve hasem with even more effort because based on the effort that is the reward says the M the more effort you put into fulfilling the will of Hashem the greater the reward you will get in this world and the next may all of us be extraordinarily wealthy with reward that who gives us in this world and the [Music] next where is what' you do to get in here huh evacuate sect 5 not mid notar we
