[Music] T good to be here we have a another stew another uh second day of kanuka 5778 2017 the year of the notr year um the will also be um and alsoin will give them a favorable easy judgment in shim and their will protect us because right now in the generation that we're in the page 97a says that before mashia comes unfortunately the amount of is going to decrease in the world and in the last 24 hours there was a uh both of these precious Souls left the world obviously and also a and a um and it's breaks your heart to see how people really don't understand what the Torah is what the that these people made in their life for the Torah we're in a generation not only of of of people that are orphaned from the where there's very few left but we're also a generation of unfortunately people that are clueless of what's the truth what's fake what's what's important what's not important uh what's real what's not uh not a day passes and I don't have somebody sending me some type of message that they want to talk to a mbal they want to talk to meal do I know any meal that I can connect them with because they need advice what do you need advice about I need advice about marriage I need advice about kids I need advice about you know basic day-to-day things and and the reality is is that people don't actually understand what a meal means um and that's not necessarily just their fault it's also the Baba's fault the people that claim to be meal unfortunately there's certain places in the world that are infested with them like Brooklyn New York uh different places in Israel and other places around the world have these fake Babas that are distorting uh the Torah and M turning it into where they're telling people listen yeah just buy this book that you don't understand how to read it put it in your library pay me $115,000 drink some strange water that I filled up and uh you know from the fountain but I'm telling you it's it's it's valuable and everything's going to be okay then bad things happen to the person's life oh I think he was short maybe it's another 15,000 and they tell people to do strange things and the reality is is that they do not tell them to do the real things that they're obligated to do one time I went to uh was doing a sh at this and right before me right before me there there was somebody there meeting with a couple young couple and um I'm waiting outside you know cuz it was only them I'm knocking on the door cuz it was early I'm knocking and I'm knocking I'm knocking I see there's somebody there it's not like the there's somebody there I see it so I'm knocking nobody's answering I wait five 10 you know six seven minutes maybe 10 minutes waiting I don't want to intrude but at the same token eventually I go inside and the person passes me like as if I don't exist the two people that he was talking to were not people of uh Torah life if you will the woman was barely wearing any clothes and the man didn't have even a a simple keep on uh but I saw within 5 Seconds you can tell this was one of those Bubba conversations you know they want to give him a few dollars so he could solve their problems and this happens every single day every day you have these different different fake people uh that tell people that if you just give them a little bit of money and you do something strange everything is going to be fixed and what happens the reason why this is a a critical situation is because this is one of the unfortunate of the world that is destroying the religion because it makes Judaism seem like something very very different than what it really is this was also one of the things that the Greek were also trying to do they try to distort the Torah in such a way like we were talking about last night where they said listen it's very nice it's very interesting it's mentally stimulating just remove God from it and everything's okay we'll put it in our library just remove the God thing from it you know remove the obligation to do everything remove that part make it as if there's a new rule there's no obligation and let's just study Torah together the Greeks and the Jews everyone becomes one nation and to testify to this we want you guys to publicize that you have no share in the god of Israel anymore how by writing it on the horns of your Bulls your bulls that you have write it on the horns of the Bulls this is as if you put a bumper sticker on your windshield of your car saying I have no share in the god of of Israel and that's what the Greeks wanted am to do and unfortunately got some of them to do it they called those people or an English helist they it change a lot at least that's what I what it seemed like they said just change one thing I'm not telling you to change the whole thing I'm not telling you to change the whole Torah I'm not telling you to change the story line just remove the obligation part seems like one change one tiny little thing is not such a big deal remove and everything's going to be okay they tell you and unfortunately that's how bad things are always born and it started with the Greek war if you notice one of the things that makes Hanukah very different than all of the other holidays is that Hanukah is not mentioned literally in the Torah it's a rabinal holiday but the say that this holiday could very well be the holiest holiday of all more than everything where do we know this from we know this because there is only all the mitv you're not obligate to sell your clothes for them except two there's two mitv that if you can't afford to do them they say go sell your clothes sell your clothes one of them is the four glasses of wine for p and the second one is the candles for kanuka you don't have money for candles of kanuka the oil for kanuka go sell your clothes it's a rabal holiday P you can understand it's the it's a that's from toah you can understand fine but rabinal holiday sell your clothes yeah why so PES significance of it is very easy to explain it reminds us that the god of Israel decided that it was time it was the place and it was precisely dictated from ad minity created the world obviously to take am out of Egypt at the time of PES the whole story of The Ten Commandments and everything that happened in Mount Si first started in Egypt and when hasem tells I'm Israel each time in the Torah I your God he doesn't say I'm your God that created the world say I'm your God that took you out of Egypt so one of the K the says one of the Kim one of the Heretics came to RAB AA he says why do you say such a thing why do you you always say in your Torah God says I am the god that took you out of Egypt why do he say I'm your God that uh created the world if he is a God he created the world why God just started he started working on during uh Egypt that's it before that nothing autopilot he says God knows his creation and he knows that if he said I'm God that created the world everyone's going to have an excuse who said who was there who's the witness anybody saw it is there any writings is there any pictures is there any this is any that you know that's same thing with people they look at a lecture three hours three hour lecture oh I never heard of this I never heard this one second thing that I said I don't know I think he made a mistake he said g instead of uh no no no that's a mistake the whole thing is canceled whole thing is canceled no Shabbat no Kosher no no this the whole thing is Qui he may use the wrong rabbi's name he doesn't know what he's talking about is no he no so hasem knows his Creation The Creator knows his creation he says if I would have said I'm the god that created the world somebody would have said something so I said I'm the god that took you out of Egypt why you had millions of witnesses he had millions of witnesses and if one of them didn't agree you would have said it right there and then why because the book that I wrote was written about the people that received it meaning the same characters that it's in the book are the ones receiving it meaning we got the Torah Mount up to up to the Ten Commandments meaning up to that point all of the characters that are getting the Torah all the people that are mentioned in there are the people receiving it so if you would said listen you saw my voice in the sky Shem said you told he said don't you remember you saw aem's voice in the sky was millions of people some say there was three million some say there was 30 million I mean High big numbers either way it's a lot it's more than the few people that showed up M today point is that a lot of people if one guy one guy say MOS MOS Moshe Moshe hold on a second hold on a second before you give us koser this that before you give us all the laws wait wait you have a you have a verse here it says everyone saw the voice I didn't see it I didn't see the voice if what he says is true we have a problem why Torah is not true there's a mistake so hasem says I'm the god that took you out of Egypt so p is the beginning the beginning of is also consider it really the real the real R is then fine that explains PES there's many many other things obviously we could talk about but not too overextend it people are complaining about how long the shim are so trying to cut short guys so fine P fine p is we understand what about kanuka kanuka is a reinal holiday why do you have to sell your clothes in order to raise money for the candles if you don't have money Shalom to buy the candles to buy the oil for the candles why do you have to sell your clothes and the say reason is is because that was the turning point for am the Greek Exile the Greek war the the the whole story of kanuka changed eternity it seems like just a nice interesting story for kids a few F you know a few Heroes fought a big nation they beat them yay for us they were happened to be religious guys they light the manora yay for us again maybe somebody invented the to make a little bit of money to pay for more oil he invented the the seon so they started playing the seiv one maybe who knows my marketing who knows sounds like a nice holiday fun yay eat some donuts get fat great even another excuse for us to be fat what's the what's what this sounds nice sounds nice why are you saying it's so religious turning point no turning point what's the turning point about it enjoy what's the turning point I'm in what's the Turning Point what's the turning point you light some candles what's the Turning Point okay so we have another holiday what's the turn what's thises they call it they say it's the holiest of holidays how before the before the whole War of the Greeks every war we had every enemy we had was simply interested in killing bodies the Egyptians were simply interested in killing the Israelites they cared less about their beliefs they cared less about their culture they cared less about everything else they wanted to make them slaves and if they weren't good slaves they just simply killed them the Babylonians no different was not interested in changing any religion he was simply interested in killing Jews it you want to take over he already had a predestined before he even understood the significance of his position he was actually friends you know teenage friends with Jeremiah and they were both walking one day they were both walking one day and uh he says to Jeremiah you know if I ever get the power first thing I'm going to do is destroy bet mikdash and Jeremiah being a prophet knew that what he said actually is going to come true she said no no no don't destroy bet mikdash go somewhere else go this go that go he tried cuz Jeremiah knew this is he knew that what he said right now didn't even know what's happening but Jeremiah knew so he tried negotiating with him no instead of bet mikdash go here instead of am go here instead of all of this go here start negotiating with them no no no I want Da but he didn't want to destroy Judaism per se she wants to kill Jews the Ians no different the Greeks on the other hand were the first ones to want to kill Judaism quite frankly they didn't have an interest in killing Jews they just wanted to kill Judaism they didn't have an interest in killing the Lefty liberals they wanted to put them in government and that's what they did who do they want to remove from the earth the really religious folks but since it's not it's not a nice thing it's not politically correct to just go kill people said listen guys what do you need to go to Kell $1,000 a month $2,000 a month if you're genius For What come work for our government will pay you $10,000 a month take off this uh schat that you have around you look like a Greek come with us to the stadium watch some sports Chase everything chase the ball chase the this chase the that that's it what do you need all this craziness for in essence their job was to get people to leave it now they realized right away it wasn't happening very quickly some fell off but not many so the Greek mentality was very unique they were actually smart and they did something that no other people ever did before and unfortunately we're still suffering from it until this day one of the things that rutner says in his book that's really scary is that kanuka is a root for a couple of words there few different things but one of the things that we celebrate is that kanuka is holiday of Miracles and so on but also so something that's very interesting is that it's a reminder of a war that we're still fighting not a war that we fought it's a war that we're still fighting now how we still fighting now Greeks died even though there some people today called Greeks it's not the same Greeks from 2,000 years ago they're not connected so why we what for what war are we fighting he says what happened 2,000 years ago changed the face of the Earth because what the Greeks realized is that to kill we have to use the instruction set of bam the only one that ever got close to destroying is was a prophet himself knew that to curse is not possible he tried three times it didn't work to get them to stop being religious just by telling them it's not going to happen so what do you do you have to make them do something that's going to disconnect them Fromm so he sent them a bunch of IM girls now we already fell for that trick almost all of us died 24,000 Jews died in that moment but almost all of them died until P put a stop to it but the Greeks realized that the Jewish enemy the biggest one the biggest Jewish enemy is himself the biggest enemy of the Jews is himself the biggest poison to the relationship between a Jew and AEM is himself and they realize that if we convince them to act like animals we don't have to fight them now I have a student she has all these pets there a lot of pets I don't know if she has a shelter of pets or she has the pets herself I'm not really sure but the number she tell me she has 20 cats and 10 dogs and like a zoo I'm thinking she probably has I don't know a building or something I don't know I don't know people but anyway she tells me she has all these pets and 20 cats and dogs and this and that that's what you want to do with your life God bless you what can I tell you fine people like people some people listen to be honest with you until I had my own children I was 100% sure that my dog was better than any human being in the world and quite frankly he probably still is he died two years ago did Chua so she likes the pets she likes the cats and the dogs and the birds and uh all these different things fine so one time she said you know I think it was a picture was sent or posted somewhere whatever I saw somewhere and they had a video was a a little video somebody gives a cat little tiny little cat little kitten probably know older than a month two months they give him a little ball give a little cat a ball and the cat goes crazy with the ball he's playing with the ball ball doesn't stop for hours he's with the ball or they have another one I remember I saw they had like a this new Gadget where it's a light and wherever the cat goes the light goes somewhere else and he keeps chasing it for hours for hours he's chasing this ball of this light and he's chasing and he's chasing he never gets bored amazing amazing brilliant brilliant technology brilliant I simple the Greeks was smart enough were brilliant enough to know they can turn the Jew into that too he said come to our Stadium watch the baseball and the football and the basketball and the soccer ball and this ball and that ball and all the balls watch them keep going and going and going and going and going and going and so long as you're chasing the balls everywhere and this guy jumps here with the ball and that one kicks the ball here and you're chasing the balls everywhere you're not learning to even the Greeks said bashem the Greeks said bash why cuz you cu the Jew is in the stadium he's distracted with the ball he forgot about God he's so distracted with the ball he forgot he's a Jew we are chasing balls all day baseballs and footb foot balls and soccer balls and Cricket balls and this ball and that ball and every day there's a new game of a ball and we've turned into cats we've turned into a nation nation of cats so this lady with all 20 cats like a little mosenu what's going to happen with all with chasing or chasing all of this the mentality that we have today to modernize Judaism they call Modern Orthodox they call it modern this or modern that is no different than Greek mentality it's no different the Greeks said listen put God on the side the modern mentality regardless of what you want to call it I care less for labels the modern mentality reformed conservative whatever anyone that says other than what it says in the Torah anyone that says that Torah is not number one anyone that claims that Torah is just one of the mitv not the mitvah of the Tor anyone that says that it's just one of the Mitzvah but there are many others that mentality to modernize the Torah is no different whatsoever than the Greek mentality in essence what they're saying put God aside and just play with the ball do something else to tell am that it's so Kate that something else can become your priority has been one of the destructions of our nation we're so busy chasing money we're so busy chasing something we forgot why we're even here now the Greeks were brilliant they realized that to just get us to chase the ball is not going to be easy why it wasn't really a ball back then it was a bunch of guys killing each other killing lions killing tigers killing this killing that how we going to get the juice to come they're going to think that if we ask them to come we're kill going to kill them so how do we do it ah remember we just said who's the biggest enemy of the Jew the Jew okay so let's get a few Jews pay them off and get them to be the recruiters Hey listen why you're you're call you make $1,000 a month $2,000 a month no Where's God now okay God sent me I'm going to give you 10,000 God you believe in God right God sent me give you 10,000 little by little he believes less and less he forgets more and more and he becomes the number one recruiter for the Greeks and for the first time in history the Jew officially became part of the enemy there was no such thing as Egyptian sympathizers there was no such thing as Babylonian sympathizers there was no such thing as Assyrian sympathize there was no Jew Assyrians Jewish Babylonians Jewish Egyptians no such thing but there was there were Jews that became yeim they became Greeks for the first time in history the Jew became part of the enemy and for those that think that the battle that we're talking about in kanuka happened 2,000 years ago they haven't read the current news current affairs the world we live in today many people deny the Holocaust many despite the fact that there's documentation despite the fact that there is film despite the fact that there's pictures Witnesses and so on many deny it even more so some like to deny some parts of the story one part of the story is that some of the Nazis were actually Jews not many but some even more so if you precede that story you go to Russia communist Russia who was it started by Jews Yia from Russia were the number one haters of Judaism they themselves were Jews the Greek mentality of making a Jew an enemy of in his own house is still alive and well the reform that pretend to be religious by having their women wearin at the cotel with no clothes on the conservative mentality tells you it's okay to drive on Shabbat toet or anywhere else if you want the Kumbaya type of mentality where everyone is with welcome and everyone is friends and we can do deals with the Christians that unfortunately is now being done by some what people that call themselves Orthodox rabbis there are some very well-known Orthodox rabbis that are not in the pockets of the Christians they're Partnerships it's out in the open it's huge multi-million dollar organizations judeo Christian organizations they say oh we're zionists we love Israel we love hasem we love this we're just going to work on our common beliefs we're going to work on our common beliefs this mentality is a war we're still fighting today now there's different parts of this war first thing we have to acknowledge is that we're still fighting it and we're fighting it because of one simple thing it wasn't a big thing was a big thing but there's one thing they told you listen just one tiny little thing you have a Torah it's good great remove God from it whole sh thing you guys are afraid H come on what Covenant you shabbat no no make it a different day do something else what the Covenant yourself come on no guys sweet already year 2000 years ago or year 2000 guys no come on you get yourself long time ago come on modernize with us cutting the Small Things cutting the small things we talked about last night makes a very big difference the modern mentality that does not want to believe in miracles and wants to always explain them in a rational way it's a poison that's alive and well and growing as a matter of fact and one of the things you were mentioning before is people that claim that you know the whole mystical aspect of Judaism altogether is not real shouldn't be taken on literally and many of these people claim to use big names like the rambam say that the rambam did not believe in mystical aspect of Judaism this could not be further from the truth if you actually read the work of the which none of these people actually do you realize that not only does he understand that it's very much a foundational principle of Judaism that hasem is above nature he is nature he's a Creator but even more so that some of the things that are mentioned in the gar that are beyond our logic are very much literal some may not be but some definitely are and there actually a very very amazing story I told you guys in a lecture several months ago it's written in a new book by R maaz one of the current and uh he writes in the book amazing story that uh the rambam was the uh Chief doctor for the the uh Egyptian king I believe and uh the king liked him a lot and they became friendly and they you know they played chess and the rambam would always win sorry the the king would always win the ramb would always like let him win but the king knew that the ramb was letting him win so the king said I've had it I want you to play for real and I I'm putting everything on it no no no you don't need to you don't need to no no no I'm commanding you as the king you have to play for real whoever wins has to convert to the other's religion because you know that the only thing that's important for rambam is not money it's not women it's not Material it's not of this it's only hasem so now he says if you you have to play for real you can't fake it anymore cuz if you lose you have to convert to Islam so now now the rambam is forced into this and he writes in the book he says that the rambam writes in himself that the moment that the game began he lost all of his he felt as if his head became empty he didn't know what to do he didn't know some of the rules he didn't know what's happening he didn't know how to win anymore it's like all of his left went away went on vacation at the worst possible time and the King is winning one move another move another move he gets closer check closer check closer the r doesn't know what to do to himself he got to another point of check check meaning will one move away from losing the game and being forced to convert at that moment someone abruptly entered the room tall very well to-do person says yes can I help you some here your highness to sue the ram he stole 200 Z for me and I'm here to claim the money King looks the ra no it's not nice it's not honorable for somebody like you take $200 200 Z you R I'll give it to you you don't have money R you work for me you work for me you're going to steal $200 it's not nice he says your honor I don't even know who this guy is I don't know who this guy is I have never seen him I don't know who he is I don't know what he's claiming it's all nonsense so the king says hey I believe R is saying it's not uh it's not real what you're saying M he doesn't lie says listen I knew that he was going to do this so I'm willing to accept his swear if he swears in my language that he did not take the money I W to accept it in front of you your highness okay so comes up to him and he starts whispering to telling him speaking to him in Hebrew the king there's no Hebrew says that one move it to the right that one move it to the left that one move it to the right he gives him the moves of how to win the chess game he gives him all the moves three seconds he thinks the king is thinking that he's talking in their common language telling them an agreement and Ra's gonna say yes thank you go away but that's what is he doing he's tell them the moves this is how you going to win the game after that thank you very much he leaves hope experience three minutes he goes back to the game the king is excited he only has one move to win less than two minutes later he loses the entire game he has no clue what hit him what right what left how did the rambam just do all of this he wanted he just wanted to lose it he goes how did you do it finally after all these years I was I was going to win what happened now R was a is meaning when you're is you don't even know how to lie lying is not an option he says your highness to be honest with you you know that man that strange man that just came here that very respectable tall nice man that yeah he told me how to beat you what do you mean he told you how to beat me how did he know I don't know I don't know he told me all the moves I followed everything he said and that's how I beat you King screams find them all the sold they start going in his markets looking for this guy they find them they bring them back yes who are you my name is Abraham iel where you from Spain Spain we're in Egypt where are you from Spain when did you get here today when did you leave Spain today wait wait hold on a second this is 900 years ago where did you come from Spain where are you today Egypt when did you leave today when did you get here today you don't have Airlines you don't have America Airlines Egypt Airlines this airline that how'd you get here today is this craziness you think we're all crazy here it's the king you're talking to don't install all intelligence no no he goes your highness I'll tell you what happened last night I went to sleep and I had some holy figures appear in my dream and they told me tomorrow at this specific time you must go and appear at the King's house the king of Egypt's house and save this sadik one of the save him save him by telling him exactly what to do to winning a chess match okay great you had a dream congratulations with the dream we all have dreams had a dream in this week's Paras I have dreams all the time I don't have mean means what okay so I came here still you didn't explain how'd you get here today oh that's easy I use sh I use the the name of hem and I got here I could do whatever I want with that name cabala stuff mystical the king thought he was joking and the rambam says no your highness he's serious I could do it too mean you could do it too I could do it too no do it it okay what do you want me to do goes okay there is a cafe in the city that's five days away five days away go there give me one of their coffees with a receipt and one the especially one of the things they have from there with a signature from the owner you went there da da whatever all the different signs that you went over there okay I'll be right back he leaves the door 5 minutes later he's back with the coffee with everything there you go honor that's in ra Ma's book so to say the rambam didn't believe in mystical aspect of Judaism is stupid it's beyond stupid it's beyond ignorant now why do such people do such things the reason why is because people don't like to read the entire book or the entire set of books so they read Google Google they read Wikipedia they read a few things on the internet a few paragraphs somebody's article they don't verify who wrote it they don't know if it's some it's a c they don't know if it's a Christian they don't know if it's the full contents of the book they don't know anything all they know is oh was on the internet therefore it's true I remember there used to be a uh a commercial days I used to watch TV there's a commercial some woman came to a friend and it was like a joke they made fun of the of the internet okay what what's uh why are you doing such and such goes well I I saw it on the internet oh if it's on the internet must be true it must be true if it's on the internet so people they see they see it's big books got big books the collection from English Hebrew 18 books it's too big for me give me a short version give me a Wikipedia one page so they read the one page they think it's like they read the whole in 18 Pages or they do something even better something better what do they do they say no no 18 books Al this that it's not for me I'm not looking to learn Al I'm looking to learn Greek philosophy this philosophy that philosophy let me read let me read in English guide of the perplexed the most complicated book in all of Judaism where even if you're you'll still be confused when I told my Rob I'm going to buy this book he says no problem you want to buy the book buy the book I said okay no no he goes buy the book said read the book fine don't ask me any questions don't ask me any questions why he goes don't ask this one book don't ask any question ask questions about anything else you want don't ask any questions why what are you reading for what are you doing it's different it's beyond you you have to be prepared you have to be at a certain level if you're not at a certain level you know all the things I tell you guys about cabala and zah and so on how you supposed to even the all of the Giants themselves said you have to be a high a certain level of Holiness to even touch these books it's no different with it's more different by gu why because if you're not at that level instead of becoming closer to hasem as a result you actually can become a c you can actually become a c from reading that book why it's confusing it says things that if you're not well-rounded in the entire Torah you're going to lose your right you're left you're going to lose gravity you're not going to know what's happened what just happened happened here why because you're going to get to certain places it's going to make you second guess certain things and maybe even lose your steem for continuing you're not going to continue to get to where you're supposed to or you're probably not going to understand what he's actually trying to imply and so on and so forth a lot of different things that it's not easy it's not for the regular guy and a matter of fact it's not even for most so all of these people had say no no he didn't believe in this I had one guy tell me oh no ramb he said anyone that talks about shedim about these uh you know demons and so on doesn't know what he's talking about it uh he doesn't believe in that first of all it's not what he said first of all it's not what he said you're misquoting what he said first of all it's wrong but he didn't like that what he actually said is that they don't exist in Israel at the time he was alive they weren't there in Israel at the time he was alive he didn't talk about anything about the Exile which is the vast majority of the world because the last time I checked Israel is like a little pinpoint in the rest of the world map and second of all we're not at 900 years ago we are now so again people take one little line they make it as if they heard the whole lecture they take one little word word they make it as if they read the whole series forget the book the whole series and they could start writing articles and many times you see people put the Chariot in front of the horse and they don't know what right is they don't know left is and a andem open the mouth of the donkey whose donkey bams because the guy instead of saying is's a donkey what is he saying he's saying saying nonsense so these are certain things you have to stay away from don't summarize things there's no uh Torah for Dummies there's no shortcut there's no short version Torah to toil with so for all of those people that are trying to cut it what they're doing in essence is exactly what the Greeks try to do the Greeks try to get am to cut little things little pieces cut one page here one page there one page here one page there little by little you stop believing everything so that's one of the things that we learn in this holiday is that in Judaism every little thing is important everything your is important your is important your is important your before you eat is important your after you eat is important your before you drink is important your after you drink is important the kosher is important the level of kosher is important your Rabbi is important your other Rabbi is important your doctor is important your kids teacher is everything is important everything everything has significance everything if you're a person that walks around thinking that there is a certain part of the world that has significance and we'll call that the Torah a certain part of the world that's up to you doesn't really carry much significance your job your relationship with friends and so on you my friend are a lost cause because you're thinking in a level of you're thinking in a level of heresy where you're thinking there's something else outside of God you're thinking that there's something that's separate from God God is everywhere and says a person that does not have you're not allowed to be inside a room a closed room with him by himself why he may kill you he may kill you says he may kill you why is it my friend I know him since third grade he may kill you why he thinks he's God if he's not afraid of God thinks he's God the minute you look at him funny the minute you say something funny he's going to kill you that's what it says not all to be in a Clos room with him if he doesn't so when people think that there's something separate from God in essence what they've turned into God in that place so the Greeks wanted to separate us they want to separate us from God they want to separate us from the truth and unfortun fortunately their poison is still working till this day it's still working to this day you guys have any more questions you want I continue you usually have questions everybody yeah anything speaking of the Z why is it that the book was only discovered after R in the r why was it like why did it vanish and then just no it was discovered at the time he was alive but he didn't have enough time to go over all of it and he said himself that had he uh had the book for a longer period of time he would have changed certain things in his own writings um there are um certain opinions about certain parts of the Z there's debates About It by theim but the it's accepted as a holy book to such an extent that they call zor kados not everyone should read it um quite frankly most people should not um but that simple statement of saying most people should not makes everyone want to read it and the reason why people want to read it is not because they're actually aware of what's in it it's the fact that it sounds more enticing as a PUK says stolen water or sweeter I tell you have tractate after tractate of with Holiness with with a mystical with basic with things you understand with things you don't understand with things that are beyond your understanding and so on and so forth you have it in thear very simple and you're allowed to study it as much as you want no no no it's too you know it's too much for me so give me something give me I want mashia right away I want the angels to come down to my room talk to me teach me like the you had to convince them to go away go away I don't want to learn why no want to teach you Torah Angels Came to him say I want to teach you TOR no no I want to toil for my Torah I want to work hard for my Torah I don't want you guys to teach me Torah so people said no no is not going to get you Angels give me something else okay Mish mishna is before the 2500 years ago no no no come on no something else you have five books of Moses five books M wrote it prophet of all prophets no come on it's old news it's old news I studied it when I was in third grade I already know I already know the Kash third grade I studied yeah but you're 47 you haven't read it in 50 years you're in third grade no no give me something else give me something else I need something to really make me extra holy make me a meal in a week make me a m kual in a week so they want the Z the reality is is that it's something that most should not touch uh there are some mid that we use from the z um but the deeper cabalistic aspects of the zor are not for people to to to touch number one because it'll confuse them number two because they won't understand it number three they can create serious serious problems in their life serious problems in their life there certain parts of the Z that have names of angels and if you mention those angels names they're not nice and joking around guys like me what they are is angels and if you say their name and you're not a pure person they could torture you they create some serious havoc in your life because you don't have the Merit exactly what I said you don't have the Merit to say their name and anyone who doesn't want to believe it go go to Har in y there's a whole hospital for crazy people specifically there's a section I'm not serious specifically there's a section for crazy people people that went nuts after learning the Zar when they were not supposed to it was right across the street from where R FR used to live I saw it so people think these old jokes exaggerations you you want to study go be my guest I don't care it doesn't affect my brain good luck to you it's not going to make you more religious that's for sure it's not going to make you more religious what's going to make you more religious Basics what's going to make you closer to hem is Basics so kanuka in chapter five of this book it says that kanuka means that it's both the inauguration of something and also training for the future inauguration this is obviously we're self-explanatory but the training for something new training for the future means for this continuous War this continuous war that we have against the Greek mentality now not here sounds interesting not R over all this right so the mentality that's constantly looking for shortcuts the mentality that's constantly looking for the the way to go to get to the prize is mentality it's anti Tor when people hear about the stories of theim they hear about the after effect they hear about the blessings they gave that came true they hear about the major major things that happened but they don't hear about the toiling of Torah that the people did for example ra when he was uh just n years old n years old he had no interest in anything else but Torah at nine at nine years old and no interest anything other than Torah his father said come with me to Baghdad we're gonna go you had to do some work and so on and they went to Baghdad for a while and little vya had no interest in working in the store with his ABA what he do he said ABA can I go to the Yeshiva with them you know all the everyone's old there can I go to Yesa over there go go no you're not doing anything any anyway go and he goes to the Yesa and of Baghdad were in there learning learning learning learning learning and little little 9-year-old sitting there learning his book his book nobody knows who's this nine yearold it's cute it's nice instead of uh playing with a ball outside like a cat he's learning good learning little nine-year-olds learning over there a table they continue to learn they're learning out loud no it's right but argue and they go back and forth on a sug on a complication all of a sudden little 9-year-old says excuse me you're not understanding the tosot correctly excuse me they said but the the giant said heyy let's hear him out what Sayan tell us son why don't we understand it right cuz over here and everyone's shocked what just happened here mashia arrived what happened these old men nine-year-old knows more than all of them he said okay the Big R says to him listen how much do you know no I just know this mishna that's all I know I don't know much what else do you know other this mishna no nothing nothing I don't know nothing else just this mishna you know I don't know anything else I don't know you already learned the mishna that says you're not supposed to say how much you know because what other mishna do you know I know a little bit of this other mishna which Mish what other else do you know no nothing else I don't know anything else nine-year-old I don't know anything else I don't know nothing else what else do you know son okay I know a little bit of this other Mish also and this other and this other this and this this little 9-year-old knows more than everyone and for the entire summer the whole time he was there he was there for a whole summer or maybe a summer and a half something like that he became the teacher no day no night no playing with the ball like a cat he's learning you hear about those stories no you heard about the Miracles he said this cabala that's what people don't know of galinski I Shalom he was a giant a giant in a five foot body less maybe four foot five tiny tiny little tiny little man there's actually some lectures in on inter tiny mama he stands every time he gives a Le he stands on top of the table he's so small tiny if you read his story is life story you're probably going to cry at least every other page you're going to cry why you say look what he's doing what he's willing to do forem and I'm not even will barely reading it he went through Gom in this world in this world but he had the mentality of Nook Nook was from the teachings of rant original teacher isant his student was Sab Nook who sa Nook in English I think they say alar from noal but Sab noal is like the grandfather from noal who was saal Sab Nook was a very very welltoo businessman one day he's on a train and is on a train they're sitting on the train they start talking says to him what do you do what do you uh what do you do with what do you do with your life course no I just uh have a business and I have another business and have a this and that whole wood have a wood business he was in Wood goes okay fine but what do you do in life what do you do for your life for your living what do you do for your living no I just told you I have a business in the wood and a tree no no no what do you do for the life you know for real life for eternity what do you do nothing he gave him a he just met this guy he gave him a rebuke of his life that the sub ofok businessman knew nothing stopped at the next stop got off the train got back on the next train to go back home instead of going to this big business trip to do this to do this he went back home sold all of his businesses everything liquidated everything got all the money started opening isot start opening isot learn the rest of his life and they say that all of the iso today in the Western World come from him had some Source some connection to him so galinski is one of the students now they if you read the stories of what they went through for the for the sake of tah the sacrifices they were willing to make today in today's age it's almost like inappropriate to talk about it to that extent it's just people are just not willing to to to get up out of their house to come to a lecture let alone to not eat for a few days you tell people come to a lecture oh what time is it 7:15 ah it's a little ear ah it's too late ah how long is it GNA be don't talk for so long you what it's two hours three hours no no no no 15 minutes 15 minutes it's 2 hours to get here you want me to talk for 15 minutes they give you limitations so you tell people listen for the Torah ra galinski would skip eating skip not talk about skip a meal skip eating for days and he became a giant any opportunity he had he would sanctify aem's name any opportunity had he would teach Tor but the one main thing about ra is that he ran away from honor but people would give him honor constantly so he would he knew what kind of poison honor is he knew that's the Greek mentality to want credit for yourself you're smart you're good-looking you're powerful you're rich you're funny any type of compliment that you are going to take for yourself that's not going to help you become holy so galinsky ran away from it like it was poison so one day he's given a lecture and they start saying well the compliment this what does he do he starts acting like he's crazy takes the microphone starts saying hello can you guys hear me can you guys hear me okay so I'll start the SH now he starts putting the microphone to his ear to make it like as if he's old and scile he doesn't know like all these descriptions they gave him are completely not him completely not him and he would do this regularly anytime somebody would give him honor M to such an extent he detested honor like poison but one time somebody asked them tell me something tell me something about one of your stories here you this that go tell me tell me something about B tell something says well B I found out I'm of Kinski just said I'm finally I heard this right why found because you know one time I was waiting you know I was going to give a shoe I was waiting on the bus stop and uh you know I was sitting in the bus stop and uh it was windy my hat fell my hat fell on the floor and I would grabbed to get the hat and a couple of doves flew over me you know apparently they had some chint right before they saw me and they emptied it out all on my head my bald head after they emptied it out so the student says explain again goes no why you don't know it says he would study he would study to such an extent it would create a fire that if a dove flew over him it would go on fire me they just go in their BS he connected that to that learning T but also learning mid at the same time time why run away from honor run away from this do you're good you're good speaker you're good this you good you're nothing you're every you'll be something good in your life and that's the thing that's a constant battle why because we all have ego all of us I mean I have this battle myself all the time I mean the truth is you compare this life to the life that I spent a lot more time doing it's a very different battle in one life every single person swears you're a uh mashiah in another life every single person wants to kill you like one of the prophets it's very different in one life you can't do anything wrong you get paid for it anyway in another life no one wants to pay you even if you want to give it for free you have to pay them it's it's constant battle you don't know it's right it's wrong it's this it's that it's not easy one place there's not enough room in the ho to fill up the people that want to come see you and the other one you have to beg people to come it's a constant battle it's a constant battle that's when you have to decide are you aidem are you a servant of hem or yourself if you're servant of of Hashem it doesn't make a difference they come they don't come they do they don't do they donate they don't donate none of that matters why the fact that you're alive and you're able to try at least try to be that by itself is a miracle that by itself was worth the whole balagan that happened on kanuka the whole thing that happened kanuka the war and the people dying and this and that and everything and all that happened 2,000 years of survival for you to live for one day to be it was worth it for a it was worth it for you on the other hand if you're not if you're doing it for yourself you're doing it because you're a good speaker you're doing it because you want people to give you high five you're doing it because you want people to donate an extra few thousand to your personal account as well as the bank account and the other account and the other account and the other account and the donation myale this that you're doing it for the money you're doing it for the honor you're doing it for all of these other reasons in essence you're a servant of yourself of your own ego of your inner as the says it was better you were never born at all forget the whole Hanah happen Wars disasters forget about all that it was better you were not born it's a very very small difference between the two mindsets because sometimes you're convinced you're doing right when everything you're doing this wrong one time someone came to one of the ad and he says to him I not sure of the name so I'm just not going to mention the name but it's a true story Shalom somebody says oh you mention the wrong name nothing matters everything is okay I'm not going to mention the name guys fine don't kill me on this one but it's a true story I said it in a different lecture but it's a good story someone came to one of the says I need some money for my daughter's wedding I don't have any Mone no problem opens the thing takes out five dollar gives them thank you for the is him a blessing Shak you're going to succeed raise the rest of the money for the wedding fine a couple days later he arrives he says I need money for the dress my daughter refuses to get married unless she buys this ridiculously expensive dress for $5,000 he says well the wedding you raised all the money yes we raised all the money for the after you gave me the money it was blessing I raised $20,000 for the M everything was great so now you need what I need $5,000 for the dress I don't know what to do for the one second one second he goes to the safe he takes out $5,000 he gives 10 $5,000 give for the wedding he G $5 for the dress asked for 5,000 he gave him 5,000 he leave do he left what if sees thises teach us what is what just happened to you $5 you give for the wedding that's the the guy is and his daughter's a biger asking having the decent she's asking for f she didn't have money for a wedding you gave you gave him blessing they raised money for a wedding now she has the audacity to ask for the most expensive dress there is what kind of nerve is this and you are paying for it explain you know how much money you could have used that money for the K you could have used the money for the ISA you could have used the money for the homeless people you could have used the money for the people that are in shelters hungry you could have used the money for so many good things for the why did you choose to give it to this rudean for just a dress and admo says to him you know you're right I also thought about everything you said I could have used the money for the K I could have used the money for the Yeshiva I could have used the money for the homeless I could have used the money for the hungry I thought of the same thing you said but you know what I only thought about those excuses after this poor guy came to me and asked me to help him make a Kala happy after he asked me to fulfill a mitvah of making AA happy all of a sudden I have these ideas maybe I should give the money here maybe I should give the money there why didn't I have them before he came and that my son it's called a Mitzvah from the Satan there's a Mitzvah but it's from the SAT if it was a real and I wanted to give it to the I wanted to give it to the yes I wanted to give it to the homeless and I want to give it to the hungry I would have thought about it before this poor guy came to me but the fact that it came now when I have another Mitzvah in front of me that means it's a mitvah sometimes you have a mitvah you're excited to do but something else comes along all of a sudden something else comes along a different idea a different this a different that heyy how come you didn't think about it before how come you didn't think about it before all of a sudden you want to do K when it's time to learn why don't you think about it before all of a sudden you want to go visit the local shelter when it's why' you do it before all of a sudden you do all these other things when it's time to do the Mitzvah you need to do that's called the Mitzvah Satan and unfortunately the Satan sends us some trips sends us on different things just like the Greeks he gives us a ball hey keep busy he a ball little kid yeah yeah yeah have a ball don't worry your ball cute go go play go play you got the ball right you wanted a ball here's a ball there's two balls just don't do the Mitzvah that you're supposed to do just don't do the cha you're supposed to do the guy comes into sh he HS this he is this he is this he goes to Rabbi no Rabbi he says he says he says modesty he says this he says this he goes listen just give everything's okay really everything's good I'll sign for you I'll sign for you just tell me don't worry about it I Rabbi it's good it's like H it's good how much how much do you have 9,000 okay 8,900 down payment for this week why all of a sudden you have an investment to make when it's time to give M no I'm only investing this money so I have a bigger to give next time I'm only investing the money not because I want to keep itom I'm Gonna Keep no I'm investing the money in Bitcoin so you make more money you can print more CDs all of a sudden when it comes to no no listen I was working at my business selling jewelry selling cars Selling Houses selling people selling cats selling balls selling everything I was doing it no not for meom I have enough look at my house it's nine floors it's for you I was working for you so I give I was the extra money I'm gonna give for k for the I'm gonna give for k all of a sudden everyone becomes a sadik at the wrong time at the wrong at the perfectly wrong time perfectly wrong time that's a sometimes will come to you during your learning in fact it'll come to you during your learning as often as you allow it if you allow it daily it'll come daily Rabbi says learn what do you want no but there's a really good uh let me read that for a little while and then I'll get to the you read 3 four 5 6 7 8 n 30 pages great as soon as you open the sleep all the energy is gone Rabbi says learn about you're a woman you need to know about oh yeah no no I'm gonna read don't worry about it I'm just gonna watch this one second I'm gonna watch you I'm gonna watch you I'm watch you I'm gonna watch you now for two hours three hour nine hours I'm gon to watch the and then I'm going to read the book he told me to read to be a woman that knows how to do with a husband I want to watch your you don't want me to watch your you don't watch your Shield your 9 hour sh you did 9 hour sh for somebody has to watch it n hour shoeld somebody has to watch it but I didn't say watch the I said read the book for because you're a woman you need to be an expert shabat this that Satan's going to come to said no no don't do those things that's what you're supposed to do here's a ball go play here's a ball go play time do time to do something no no no my friend is coming over and you know I need to help him out I need to do I need to help him out so I'm pretending to watch the game with him I'm pretending I'm pretending to watch the game with him but he's watching the game but I'm really getting ready that every time there's a commercial break I'm going to give him I'm going to give him all these little creative things Satan comes to you with the best excuses in history he doesn't Short change at all he goes and he goes and he goes and unfortunately sometimes the mitan is GNA come from somebody with a beard sometimes mitah is g to come from a rabbi a leader and so on and theut says this is also part of the prophecies you see Leviticus 26:17 it says and those who hate you will subjugate you meaning that those who hate you will rise up from among you meaning your own haters are also going to be your brothers your own haters the ones that are actually mean bad for you want bad for you steer you the wrong way sometimes you're going to look at them and you say oh that's my leader yes exactly that page 49 also 97 talks about the end of days talks about how rebuke is going to be despised honesty lost fewer the rudeness im's Behavior will rise all the things that are the opposite of what we're supposed to do and it's not just talking about the average folks it's talking about everyone it says the leaders are going to do the opposite of what's in the interest of the people people are supposed to do ABC they're tell people no no no do XYZ why but that's the opposite don't worry it's fine I'll sign off for you it says Don't drive on Shabbat no no but you're driving to besset it says uh no no no you're just going away with the guys to Vacation schom your brother it's a peace between you and your brother you're going to uh some kille you're going to some grave yeah my wife doesn't agree don't worry she'll agree when you come back with the Holiness that you'll have the Holiness you'll have around you she'll agree don't worry it says uh says P yeah but your wife is dying if she has another kid she's going to die she's not a baby oven you have to there's a there's a way there's a system there's a you have to consider her health you look at the the the the aot they didn't have 900 kids they had whatever hasem allowed whatever time and place allowed when I've kids make sure she wants it too no no but fine she also has to live too she's more important than the baby that didn't appear so a lot of people are trying to be extra at the wrong places on other people's accounts sometimes there rabbis that are fakers somebody asked me today about meal can I have a meal because I have this other meal they give me the name I'm not going to mention the name because it's just a waste of time mention the name oh what do you think about this M this Rabbi from this place in Brooklyn honestly you don't have to be a genius you don't have to be religious you don't have to do anything just look up just type the name Google everyone this guy's fake this guy's a fraud this guy's a liar this guy stole money from me this guy's this this guy this and the reality is that even if all of it is even if all of it is fake thear says if people are saying it about you part of it is true nothing is from nothing nothing is from nothing if they're saying it about you there's something that is you're no one is going to invent a lie about you out of pure nothing there has to be something and Sham knows sham knows so sometimes the enemy is within sometimes the enemy is within the biggest thing that the Greeks wanted to do is separate the physical and the spiritual to be two different things make sure that we focus on our physical aspect muscles looks material money and so on and let the spiritual aspect of it go somewhere else and say this is exactly why the rambam says in chabat Chapter 30 15 which we mentioned two or three weeks ago in in Hollywood about how when a person's person's regularly is considered an idol worshiper considered to be like one of the Greeks why one of the Greeks is because he indeed separated his physical from his spiritual he thought that it's physical and spiritual can have different rules physical can you know live in this world spiritual doesn't have to you can put on the side so the physical is Jewish because his father is Jewish he comes from Ab comes from comes from comes from and so on and so forth but spiritual I don't have to keep the MIT I don't have to keep it they think that they're Jewish just because their mother's Jewish and there's nothing further from the truth nothing further from the truth what makes you Jewish is following the tah the uh went over this so the biggest difference that we spoke about but I think is something that you can never cover enough that I think personally is is a is a problem in the religious world with all of these battles that we have with the uh different things we say about the wigs and so on is that the enemy that creates the Havoc is usually not a secular person the enemy is usually a religious person but it's a religious person that's selectively religious he's religious when he wants whether it's this D guy from London that's religious you know until a certain point you going to talk about homosexuals no they're allowed they're in they're we shouldn't welcome them it's the best thing that ever happened all the type of garbage that he said he now has the support of the chief Rabbi over there in uh in London who knows who knows what's what's what's what's to what come more damage this guy's going to make but this guy's being allowed to be a rabbi and there's plenty like him this other guy that I keep telling you guys about with the long payers and looks like he's from uh you know the days of the bmov but in reality is days of JC Penney maybe he uh tells people that for schom B you're allowed to drive on Shabbat to take your wife to the beach so I mean all types of mitv that touch people's heart oh wow look he's such a nice Rabbi he welcomes homosexuals oh wow look he's such Ace Rabbi he understands how important schom is so when the wife says she wants to go to the beach on Shabbat he says it's okay see that's a that's wow for the naive for the people that don't understand sounds good it sounds terrific and it all stems from the same place it all stems from the same Greek infection that we've had for 2,000 years the Greeks did something that no one else did they made us our own enemy and we've been our own enemy for over 2,000 years since whether it's what the chabbat page 54 says that hem punished the rabbis first before he P punished the secular people asks why say because the rabbis knew the truth but they didn't share it they didn't tell people they didn't rebuke them it's as if they sinned it's as if they murdered it's as if they were violating Shabbat you knew the truth you saw your brother going against it but you didn't say anything you said ah he's going to figure out on his own so many of these people that know the truth that read the same that we read they learn the same that we we read they learn the same learn the same T know what it says know what the r says know what says know what the Z says know what the five books of Moses say know what everything says it's all same exact thing it's all comes from the same Source comes from the to same thing it's just different places mention the same thing they all know it and they don't share it says these people are the worst why they take on everyone's sin they know the truth and they're not sharing it with people why it's a Greek infection it's the mentality where you know what let's cut everything else is good that hasem says let's just cut this one part out it started with one thing and then it's another thing then it's another another thing before you know it you've modernized Judaism in essence to change it all together you've changed it all together into something else call it whatever you want the labels are irrelevant there's plenty of decent people in every part of Judaism but as far as a as far as Servants of hem we don't know how many they are anywhere why because unfortunately every one of us has a problem so the question all of us need to ask is where do we lie where where do we stand where do we stand here where where are we are we fakers are we actually doing everything because that's what it says are we doing things that because it makes sense to us are we waiting for things to make sense to us the Greeks told us accept T because it's intellectual just don't accept hem and to prove to us that you don't accept AEM write it on the windshield write it on the windshield of your cards write it on the horns of the book publicize that you don't accept hem go to public W with hem that's fine women of the wall show your power show it why not the reform the conservative no different unfortunately it's also happening in the mo in the Orthodox World modern non-modern whatever you want to call it where there are certain things there certain mitv that literally it's as if they don't exist people call themselves religious and if you just simply look at them you don't have to know what they you don't have to speak you don't have to speak just look at the person it's it's you're not even sure if they're Jewish why they look like a Greek they look 100% like a Greek I remember there was more than one guy but there's one particular guy that I always saw him in synagogue always saw him in synagogue but for whatever reason or another he felt that it was perfectly fine to walk around with Beach clothes all the time a tank top that shows most of his body and shorts and slippers like he was I don't know apparently maybe he works on the beach or something he's a lifeguard I don't know he's 40y old lifeguard 50-year old lifeguard I don't know whatever whatever career he chose but the point is that it was always like this all the time there was no Concept in his mind that the little quarter keeper that he had on once in a while is supposed to represent supposed to represent that you're afraid of what's above you which means that you have to be concerned of how you look in front of what you're afraid of there's no concept of that the people that argue with us about the whole issue of a being in the wigs they're all pretending as if I created this out of thin air like I took and I wrote dear God please add this tractate to your oral Torah please sign your own like I created this rule hem says if there's AB you're not allowed to benefit from it not allowed so someone sent me one of my students sent me a message today and uh said listen I'm moving doing Aliah going to Israel there's this Israeli organization that's connecting me with different companies and they told me that there's this Christian organization it's a Christian organization that's willing to pay for part of my expenses and they don't prize innocent they don't know the only section of all of Christianity priz a am I allowed to use it absolutely not why it's benefiting from it's benefiting from a I have one guy that constantly asks me question about how much to give this that the other thing I don't respond to him at all why he say he a a is the the guy I don't have anything against Christians something against what they do there plenty of very nice people but when you are telling me that you're going to give me church money I'm not interested in church money keep it for yourself thank you no interest not allowed I don't care how much money it is how little how it doesn't make a difference not allowed to benefit out of so when you tell people listen it's market knowledge that before recent times if you wanted to start a business you had to go to wherever you wanted to do the business if you wanted to start a business and the manufacturer was in China manufacturer was in India manufacturer was in London manufacturer was in Bangladesh manufacturer was in Taiwan wherever they were you had to go there negotiate agree give some money sign on a uh agreement they send you a container about six months later because that's how long it takes the ship to get from wherever they are to where you are and that's how you do business you usually have to go to this place once in a while and so on and so forth but as technology advanced to dat to such an extent as we've talked about extensively where all you need to do you don't even need to pick up a phone anymore all you need to do is type in a website put in your credit card and you could order whatever you want in the world if you have enough money you could order anything a plane weapons wigs uh whatever you want people anything you want you could order anything you want with money and a computer all you need so people pretend like they don't know anything pretend like they're naive pretend like oh we're all innocent we're all this and when I tell them listen it's market knowledge it's not my theory it's not a theory it's market knowledge that all wigs have turned from being from Korea to um different places in China to different places in uh in uh around the world that now officially it's all coming from the 95% some people say 99% are coming from India why because to get it from any other place is much more expensive if you want to get your wigs from people that are selling it in Bolivia in Cambodia in Brazil in any place in Europe in wherever you have to buy it for a much higher price why because no one is going to shave their head voluntarily they'll do it for money so naturally a transaction is more expensive than a no transaction when someone donates their hair for free that's automatically cheaper than any other price now in some countries they won't even sell it for any other price like you go to Brazil they'll laugh at you tell you I'll shave my head you shave your head you chop off your head chop off your head put it I'll put it on my canister with the food and the peppers for my food they left at mean when I told them do Brazilians shave their head because many wigs today say made in Brazil they laughed at me like our people are going to rather kill themselves from starvation than shave their head no wig is made in Brazil they it's a transitional process they buy him from from India people don't know is a few really smart businessmen when the whole wig thing took off they made a few deals with India and they became one of the largest uh PE customers of India and it all says made in Brazil but it's not really made in Brazil you tell them listen the wigs all of them come from uh from uh India even if you have some hair that comes from a different place some hair is going to come from India and the reason why is because every wig is three heads every wig is not one head it's not like one woman shaves a head and it goes into another woman's head doesn't work like that it's three women shaved head and go into one one wig so in essence it also means that no single wig has you even know where it came from It came it could potentially be three different places it could potentially be 500 places so you tell people this is logic this is common sense this is market research this is factual and so on and so forth you cannot rely on it if it's real here you cannot rely on it and even the says even if it's if it's synthetic it's no longer synthetic why because in some places like China where they shave the head of the Dead which is also not allowed by the way according to Judaism but according to them they're allowed to do whatever they want according to Judaism not to shave the head of the Dead in China they shave the head of the dead and they sell the hair there's so much of this hair because a billion and a half people it's so much hair they don't know what to do with it short hair no one's buying short hair wigs so what do they do they put the H to fill in the synthetic wigs they fill it in so they did some research on synthetic wigs and they said every one of these synthetic wigs has some real hair in it some have 1% some have 3% some have 9% some have 50% but all of them have something now you're going to call your wig maker and tell them hey Mrs local wig maker do you have any uh synthetic wigs with 100% uh you know synthetic and no real hair of course coaster what do you want of course why why that's how they make money do they really know no why cuz it wasn't made in their place it was made somewhere else do you have any you know kosher wigs that are 100% from real hair but not from India sure of course kosher grows got gross kosher it it's it's badat it's this it's that it's the best it's kosher Ben who signed off too and I tell you whatever you want why that's how they make money well you were in the factory when they were shopping the head and this and that you were there no but the market research which is what was my expertise for 20 years I don't know what else I need to explain it's like you go to a guy you sold diamond for 20 years he tells you listen this is not a diamond this is a rock this is nothing this is fake diamond they make now in Russia make fake diamonds out of nothing and they sell them as real diamonds guy's been in a business like my father for 50 years he says listen this is a fake diamond no no no you don't know what you're talking about well 50 years is not enough research it's not enough expertise so you tell people you tell people you tell people so now what happens is they don't like it they start fighting they start this they start that because said listen it's a Mitzvah it's a Mitzvah cover your hair it's a mitzvah little they know this mitvah they have isah yes you're allowed obviously obligate to cover your hair just not with the wig just not with the wig now there's another we'll finalize and then you guys could ask some questions that's actually one of the sources one of the sources of the wigs most people don't know is in it says the following in so many words it says a woman is this talking about whether someone's allowed to go outside when there's no when there's no you're not allowed to carry she says a woman that has fake hair on top of her head that's her hair or not her hair her friend's hair like somebody else's or the hair of an animal or It's A Wig wait a minute hair hers not hers an animal and then P or hat what's going on why is different from hair first and foremost we need to understand that the this is a phenomenal and the reason why is because this is the source that one of the people that the um used this as a source to allow women to use wigs original source to allow women to use wigs but everyone disagrees with him and the wrote a whole section about why he's completely wrong about it but first and foremost this is the source 64 now what's very interesting is that if you break up this into a couple of pieces you start understanding it first and foremost it's telling you something extraordin AR that there's a differ levels of hair first the hair if it's hers or if it's a uh her friends or if it's a animal's hair and so on it says it's allowed why is it allowed why is it allowed to carry in their head why because the fear the fear would be if she took it off the fear like for example to wear certain things for example pin you're not allow to wear a pin why you not allow to wear a pin maybe you're going to take it off and carry it so the fear of not wearing hair that's yours is maybe you're G to take it off and carry it you so the so the ask who wears this who wears this hair that's theirs not hairs first and foremost you should know it's not the average person who is it someone has bald spots someone that's sick someone that's sick it's not for uh someone that's sick they have cancer they have this they have that someone that's sick it's not someone that's an everyday person first of all second of all second of all why we not worry even if they're sick why we not worried they're not going to take it off why are we not worried they're not going to take it off why because Rashi says the hair is sewn to the Hat the hair is swn to the Hat because there's no way that a woman woman is allowed to show a naked head so of course she's not going to take off the hair because if she takes off the hair she's also going to be forced to take off the hat if she take off the hat she shows a head shows a head not allowed not allowed which means that even the people that use this fake hair in thear the source they were not just going out like today's women showing hair they wore this hair to cover small or a big bolt patch under hat was always under hat it was always under some type of there's no somebody walking around with the wig you know like a little horse tail on their head never in the history of has this ever happened until now never so this is if you understand the original Source but how many women today that are wearing wigs know this how many what they ask the rabbi Rabbi all to wear wig yes okay they start singing for the rabad what he allows wigs you want to Beal allow wigs you want to be sadik allow wigs so that's one main thing another about this specific one is that it says is a hat it's hat it says a a hat with a wig what's a hat with a wig if you actually see you notice the two go together it's not it's not a hat or a wig it says a hat and a wig meaning they go together they go together it's not the wig is separate the hat is separate so if you just simply go to the source you simply understand that this was like despised in the eyes of hasem one of the reasons it says the following this is not my opinion don't blame me go blame God if you want but you may not be so nice listen he says is why is this uh wearing strands of hair in the head what's the problem with it if there's a problem what's the problem with it why can't you just say yes no like why is there why is it even mentioned why is there mentioned where nowh what's the problem Shalom an old woman would wear the hair of a young woman and look like a young woman and a young woman wear the hair of an old woman look like an old woman is there anyone in the world today wearing a wig of someone that's not younger than them whether she 70 years old with the wig or 60 years old or 30 years old it's always they just got it from a 16y old kid in India that shaved the head so this m specifically said why is why is there is even mentioned it's mentioned because the biggest Pro uh uh prohibition of it is that a old old woman will wear the hair of a young woman why because it'll enhance her looks and that's prohibited it's not supposed to improve their looks this is it's it's it's what it says you skipped the part the rabbi skipped the part the rabbi skipped the part so this is again this is the reason why and over7 say it's not allowed had nothing to do with a nothing to do with a nothing to do with with with idol worship the idol worship every single rabi in the world would not allow it every single one except one there's only one Rabbi that allows it who the one that runs the kosher wig section why he doesn't believe it's he doesn't believe it matters it's like no they don't mean it they don't mean it it's fine it's okay don't worry don't we when rash came out and says listen these wigs coming from Ab not allowed go burn them thousands and thousands of women started burning their wigs everyone was much havoc in 2004 you read about in the papers some of the archives unbelievable what was happening in Jerusalem and New York everywhere hat stores were M being sold out in seconds no one knew what to do the do door just said you're not allowed to wear any wig but then this guy that no one really knew says no don't worry we're going to make a kosher wig we're going to go make a kosher wig and he became little by little a n do all of a sudden and everyone holds by him no one else no other kosher certification company no other rabi in the world ever dared even the ones that agree with wigs no one dared kosher the wigs why cuz everyone knew was horse everyone knew was nonsense it was complete nonsense even he himself even he himself why he wrote it himself even at the time even at the time the r yashiv came out and say it's all because from India because of this because of that he's quoted himself saying even if it comes from India it's still fine why it's okay don't worry about it it's fine I disagree with well there's no actual real principle behind it that's valid that anyone agreed with him in essence he doesn't believe that the wig needs to be koshered anyway so what are you koshering then if you don't believe it needs to be koshered what are you koshering then it's like someone that believes that all meat is kosher you don't have to slaughter it a certain way it doesn't have to be a certain type of animal it could be a camel could be a calf a it could be a bat it could be a lion it could be a horse all okay it's all okay whatever you want it's good Kos but that's we'll put a sticker on it put kosher it's kosher doesn't believe in it then you put this guy's Mas he doesn't believe in it you can't put him as M this is a joke this is the biggest in this generation in my opinion why because it's destroying the religious world it's destroying the religious world and people just simply running away from it they're just running away from it they refuse to believe it now unfortunately there's a lot of a lot of disasters happening recently people are dying people getting sick major accidents it seems like uh I don't know the every time there's a new organization to raise money for poor people that have having you know trying to raise money there's more people that are having more more problems it's unbelievable every day there's a new list of another family that's damaged somebody died somebody did somebody so people are asking where's AEM where's AEM where where is he right now where is he wait is the Holocaust again I he's hiding his face where is heom says many women pray to hasem praying to Hashem no question about they praying to Hashem but why aren't their prayers being listened to say the entire woman is considered nakedness so when a woman comes to Hashem with a wig it's considered nakedness when a woman comes to Hashem with uncovered hair it's the same thing as a wig now that we know it's AB it's even worse she cannot expect Hashem to listen to our prayer why she's naked she's naked how could hasm listen to such a prayer so it's not me go blame him go enjoy the idea here is that everybody has to do chba everyone has to question themselves where am I where is this and the reason why is because this Greek M ality of being more more material more this more that it's ruining us it's ruining the religious world it's ruining the secular world it's ruining everything it's time that we actually start taking control okay you know what it's hard for me but I know it's true this is difficult but I know I need to do it this is this this is that but I need to do stuff start doing chba start addressing the problem because kanuka is that reminder that if it wasn't for a few that stood up for the truth very few that stood up for the truth the rest of us wouldn't be here just a few it doesn't need to be everyone just a few stand up for the truth the rest of us wouldn't be here that's what kanuk is about sometimes standing up for the truth means you have to do something that's beyond Norm you have to declare war against everyone you have to declare war against the system you have to get declare war against what's considered normal you you have to declare we against what's considered acceptable why because you know that everyone is missing the same thing what the truth what's acceptable is poison what's acceptable is not good what's acceptable is bad for everyone they just fail to realize it either because the Satan convinced them mitvah or they're just not looking they're relying on somebody else everyone thinks that somebody else looked everyone's relying on someone else looking go look you look did you look yeah I look did you look he didn't really look he somebody else looked for him did you look I look look no one really looked and the guy that's originally the guy that's officially supposed to look you look no you look no you look look look everybody says no everyone's relying on someone else the original guy that was supposed to look for everyone pretty much what is he doing he's playing with the ball with the cat him and the cat are playing with the ball they're playing cats with the ball no give me questions someone who P people away from what to a that believes in JC Benny wait he's pulling people away from nonsense okay where is he pulling them to toward J okay it's a good thing he but he does he believe in JT no so he's just a so he's okay it's fine if someone is pulling people away from that's a major mitvah is in essence saving lives saving Souls that's very good if he chooses to be a Jew it's obviously putting his soul on an even higher level if he doesn't he still Hasa because if I'm assuming that he if he believes in Judaism he's at the very least following the seven noahide laws if he's following seven noahide laws and all rational laws that are in fine has it's not the same level OFA as he would have if he was a righteous Jew but he's perfectly fine as long as he doesn't believe in idol worship as long as he doesn't violate the rules as long as he doesn't violate the Torah as far as the seven Noah laws he's fine and if he's saving other it's even more so even more so uh it's a very unusual uh thing that we're seeing right now is that it seems like there are many go that are very very interested in helping Jews and I'm seeing it firsthand not just one not two not three not five not 10 many many situations just today actually you know what just today I had a guy who's not Jewish he wants to convert one day just life hasn't worked out so far for for for him to convert but he's very passionate about CU he's very passionate about Torah and so on and uh he's actually on a army base he just got rested a new Army base and he told me listen I got rested a new Army base and I see there's a bunch of Jews here can you send can you send me a few things there's Jews I packed up a box of CDs and I send him some CDs so this guy is very very active he doesn't have much money he doesn't have uh you know much talent per se that's useful for kiru but Hashem is putting him in places for him to implement his passion that he has he has a passion to save other Jews Shem says I don't need your money I don't need your skill set that you don't have what do you have I'll put you in right place for you to meet a few Jews give them just give them the CD and you get so people I'm seeing it a lot I had one time a uh a guy donate a guy donated a pair ofin he said listen I'll give some money get use his his money to get somebody a pair ofine the same day he wanted to donate money I had a guy call me he said listen I want to get I don't have any money though so has makes some matches and sometimes comes from sometimes it comes from Jews but it's amazing I mean I can tell you from experience that sometimes you'll see that some of the non-jews are much much more passionate about kiru than Jews are and one of the reasons at least I'm guessing I don't know this for sure but uh one of the reasons why I think it is is um simply because the G don't have a yet the G don't have a yet against K like a Jew does so a Jew for him to get to to save one other Jew there's an endless amount of reward for him it's a 310 worlds Ina it's a big thing it's also one of his obligations in the world as far as there's a big reward for it a non Jew also gets a reward but it's nothing in comparison the the the the Jew gets a reward the non-jew gets a reward but if the Jew doesn't do it he gets punished if the non-jew doesn't do it it's fine no big deal nothing it's like there was a sandwich you didn't eat it okay good luck you it you're not obligated to eat it the Jew is obligated to eat it he's obligated to do he's obligated to save other people why every everyone in Israel is obligated to save each other we're responsible for each other you can't just sit there and take care of yourself and not care about anybody else so that's the thing that people just I uh I'm seeing a lot of I'm seeing a lot of people that are not Jewish but are extremely passionate about saving Jews uh and they themselves want to uh you know want to convert but you know apparently Hashem wants them to show how much they love first again apparently maybe this is their this is their sacrifice and I'm sure that uh Hashem is going to reward them uh endlessly for it next you allow to pray for for them to get well or you're supposed to for them you pray for both uh I mean if if a non Jew dies according to Al you're allowed to say kadish on them even though it's a non-jew you're still allowed to say kadish on them there are opinions that you're allowed to say kadish but it doesn't do anything but it's still allowed and there are opinions that say you're allowed to do it and it does do something it helps them either way I don't know of an opin op that says you're not allowed to say it I know that you're allowed to say kades if you're allowed to say kadish which is a very very it's the highest level of prayer to Hashem then obviously you're allowed to also say to different people what's the uh what's the also um there was a um Mubarak Mubarak from Egypt um wasn't exactly the biggest supporter of Israel he didn't like a so so much we had peace with him for a long time not because he liked us what happened he respected theim respected theim and one time he wanted to build a road in Egypt and the road was going to go over a cemetery which had a very big sadik there and radya called him before he became the famous V but he was still well known and Rya called him and he says uh please don't do it there's a big sadik there we can't dishonor theim and Mubarak says you know listen it's going to cause millions of dollars to to do the plans all over again you know to go around this whole grave this that it's it's enormous amount of money it's a highway it's not like a flag it's enormous amount of money to redo the thing to redo the thing says I'll raise how much is it $2 million let's say I'll raise the money for you I'll get the money I'll get the money you get the money no problem Oh after he decid he agreed he gave him a blessing and the blessing is to have long days long days of success long days in life and so on and we see that it actually came true he was a leader for like 40 years which is unheard of in the Arab world 40 days already uh Muhammad 40 years it's unheard of and it was peace also between us and them but then the Arabs went back to being Arabs they wanted to kill him arrested him and this and that and everything happened andya went out there and says pray for him he prayed for him and mamash through miracle for what he did he redesigned everything as returning the favor he prayed for him and through Miracle they released him from prison and everything was fine which is unheard of in the Arab world once you're in prison you don't come out like these billionaires that the the the the new Prince of SRA they're never never leaving they're never leaving the prison they may leave as homeless people if they leave at all but most likely they're not leaving alive they're leaving as bodies that's just the way it is so it show is that obviously there is a it's it's not necessarily uh uh What uh we're not supposed to pray for people to die unless they're M unless there are people that actively search out Jews and try to bring them away from hasem not if they just believe in something wrong or idol worship or whatever it is but if they actively go after Jews if they actively go after Jews then you can pray for them to die because this is a such a person that's a m that's a mean that's someone that a uh it's considered worse than a murderer and that person could be Jewish or not Jewish so if a person is has a non-jewish parent it's a convert to masum obviously non-jewish parent or most of the time it's a convert because if the father is uh non-jewish and the mother is Jewish and it's still technically a Jew based on if one of the parents is not Jewish you're still allowed to pray for them to have but at the same time you should also always pray for them to see the truth to do chuva to leave this idolatry that they have tried to help them one way or another give them a CD send a CD anonymously whatever try to do something to help them that's the biggest favor you could ever do for them as a son or a daughter is to get them to stop uh being an idol worshipper uh but it's not easy it's not easy so your merits as a righteous person will definitely help them definitely help them next anyone yeah chran can theyab can they together things like that how does that work is it even allow oh what can be done it's a very good question can a Jew live with a non-jew in in essence if the non-jew is his parent or her parent now this is a very tricky question and the reason why it's a very tricky question is because some people are not going to like the answer because the answers will touch your emotions and again you have to understand Al is not based on emotions ala is based on the law of God which sometimes is not going to make sense to you because you're a human being so based on Al once a person converts from being something else from being an Arab from being a Christian from being a Buddhist from being whatever into being a Jew they're no longer considered the son or daughter of their biological parents they're biological parents obviously hasem knows they came from that body but as far as them being their uh parent they're not considered their parents this changes the this is this answers the question in so many words because is a Jewish man allowed to live with a woman that's not his wife no is a Jewish man allowed to live live a woman is not his wife and she's not Jewish no yeah but it's his mother no it's not understand so that's that's that's the tricky issue now if a person gets older or sick are you allowed to take care of them yes there are certain leniencies when it comes to certain things like that you have to go to you have to look really really deep into the Al and to make sure that you're following all of the different rules that you need to follow but as a rule of thumb your mom is perfectly healthy your dad's perfectly healthy and uh you know are you allowed to live with them no so now I'll give you an example there was actually someone that came to one of my shim and she converted she converted to Judaism righteous convert and she told me you know I'm very scared because I've ever since I converted I've been having these strange dreams these strange spiritual experiences which are part of the uh they horrible horrible situation horrible she sees things when she's awake she sees things when she's asleep she sees things when they're this it's like uh like one of these horror stories and um she go says I went to a rabbi I went to a cabalist I went to a this I went to a that I went to I read this book I read that book nothing changes it's years four years I have this thing four years not like four months four days four hours four years I have this thing now I'm not a cabalist I'm not AAL I'm not anything but I have a little common sense and I learned a little toah from my R and this is not the first time I heard this thing so anyway so I told the wait so um where do you live and she says I live in so and so I says where do your parents live says well they live in the same place so what do you mean you live in a different house no no we live in the same house my original biological dad is not there my the mom remarried to another guy and so on and so forth and they're Idol worshippers especially the the new father the new uh the new husband he's an idol worshipper like Idol worshipper with a degree and uh the mom is like agnostic she cares less about everything and this little righteous Jewish girl I said okay there you go that's it that's your that's that's that's what's creating all those spirits and things and this and that that that's it yeah that's it just why all the other rabis say the theal the this one the that one the folded ones the this one the one with the big hat the small hat the big book the small book The Black Book the yellow book how come no one else said it I said I don't know it's their problem that's what's happening I have to move I said you do when should I move I said today unless you want to see uh you know these things more you want to see him climbing your walls and you're did it work yes she moved right away I think within less than three months four months not only did she it stopped right away all those things stopped right away right away like instantly like as if it was like a cure stopped right away but after she left she had and I believe she got married within a couple of months so you don't have to be to use a common sense affects the Jewish n in a very very horrendous way in a way that the non-jewish Nish cannot understand many people talk to me and they send me emails and they send me different things about how they have night terrors or they have these dreams that are uh what is it called um where in essence they're awake but they can't move their body I forgot what it's called sleep sleep paralysis sleep paralysis uh they have they see things and all that stuff all of it is connected to idol worship all of it 100% 100% it's all connected to idol worship one way or another you have a statue in your house you have an idol worshipper in your house you something is happening it it comes it's 100% from idol worship you have a you have a coin I'll give you a story there was a guy real story uh one of the I forget which book it was that I read but have it in my house I'll show it to if you want guy has no luck no money no nothing one day finds a coin finds a coin since the day he finds a coin things change why coin talks to him little coin talks to him says coin says to him listen uh Mr Jew yeah okay listen go to this Market give this guy five shekels for his beans I'll tell you where to go you can sell 15 bucks coin talks you're goingon to listen or not you listen he goes he buys the beans $5 sells a $15 made $10 profit give now so he goes and he does you fast forward all of a sudden this little guy with no money no this no luck no nothing all of a sudden really rich eventually becomes M well to do and no one knows the secret one day the the original R Pinto the original R Pinto sh comes to the city there and he says why don't you go meet the wealthy guy comes to his house and he says to him uh how well your father was very rich the are very very they called for a reason your father was very rich no no not so much you invented something no not so much go what's the secret for you know no no come on what's the secret listen because you're not worried that you're about money or anything but listen let me show you he takes him to a private room he open the safe and another safe and a safe inside the safe and a safe inside the safe opens got got the little coin over there of pinto says to him this coin has the T of inside it it inside it is the is is the foundation of You Must Destroy it you must get rid of everything you must get rid of everything coin must get rid of everything very difficult test people think that these mystical things don't happen or they're far from the truth people I'm sure there's going be at least one or two Heroes that make fun of the story like I wrote it like I made it up like I'm getting paid off by by the pinto family every time I say the story but this is if you don't believe in in Miracles you don't believe in am we survive by a miracle we are a miracle we ourselves are a miracle if you don't believe in these things that are beyond the norm you don't believe in am you don't believe in you don't believe in anything and that's the thing is that when it's and that's KES made the Torah and part of him so when you bring the polar opposite the tum the impurity of the world which is AB which is nothing you bring that and you connect it with KES the impact is extraordinary it's as if you bring a simple little Jew doesn't know nothing he's little innocent 13 14 year old kid little keepa a little bigger than a quarter has a couple tiot everything's fine doesn't know much not not big anything you bring a little kid you bring a little missionary a statue a cross or any one of these things next to him now you can't see it with your eyes but if you weree it would look I'll give you the image it would look like 30 atomic bombs just went off why this is one end this is the other this is Purity this is impurity and it creates M an atomic bomb so this also affects the non-jews too not to the same level because they don't have the same level of Kusa but nonetheless it affects them and Hashem hates it Hashem hates detests these this idol worship so that's why you see all of these tsunamis all of these hurricanes all of these natural disasters happen in the capitals of AAR in the world all of the capitals of AAR in the world that's where this stuff happens you see major disasters happen in those
