How Do You Know If It's A Good Rabbi In a Tough Community? (6 minutes)

so you see that the but Knesset has a much much bigger responsibility than people think if your congregation is mostly secular people that's not the fault of the people anymore it's fault of the back lets it and the leadership at the biggest if you're because it is conservative and reform that's because the leaders the people that are pulling the strings the people that are teaching whatever they're teaching they want it to be that way there's no such thing as a righteous bit Knesset with a bunch of a shine why because if the rabbi is a hundred percent holy and these only teaching holy things a hundred percent with no fear in the world no fear he doesn't care you know fire me hire me doesn't make a difference to him this is what a Shem said that's what I'm going to say and if the kayla has a little bit of merit a little bit of merit from shania to see ok listen even if i'm not doing it it's still the truth ok i don't want to keep shabbat but whatever you saying is sure anyways I can't come shut up I can't go against them this is what does what it says I don't feel like doing it you have a little bit of merit a little bit of second a little bit of you know a brain you guys ok this is the truth maybe one day I'll have the merit to actually do it so the key la get stronger and strong and they start seeing this imbalance there's some people that are righteous some people not let's righteous but overall there's a balance you're never going to have everyone righteous you're never going to have everyone wicked or at least I would hope so but nonetheless leadership of batik nice it is very very critical and this is why I have a lot of problems with the whole concept of having a board of directors for bed kinases which have talked about in the past having a board of directors for a bit Knesset is only an invention in current generations in the past there was a board made of one person rabbi the rabbi was the board rabbi was the president the rabbi was the vice president the rabbi was the secretary there have I was treasurer the rabbi was everything he called the shots that's why it was much easier fan to tell the truth he's not worried about somebody firing him you don't want to come don't come what's the problem today unfortunately even if the rabbi is fantastic he's a great speaker he's only an employee so if he says something that the rich guys running the board don't like they fired the next day so now you have a dilemma you have an honest rabbi wants to say the truth but he knows that he can't do it he knows that if he says the truth they're gonna kick him out tomorrow what is he going to do so rather like that I heard this from rubbish rocky and I think it's a hundred percent true and it's the only way he's not allowed he's not allowed to say what they want to hear meaning he's not allowed to not say the truth never he's never allowed to go down to their level but they wanted to say you know talk about nonsense that's not going to do anything for anyone and not talk about shabbat not talk about kosher and i talked about time you saw how old the foundations of Judaism he's not allowed to do that so what do you do you can't say the truth you can't lie either so what do you do see look the truth in a little bit of a nicer way but more importantly more importantly you bring somebody else to say the truth from the outside you bring rugby's rafi you bring rubber loan anagha you bring somebody like me to come there to see the truth wake people up after the shield they go to robin thicke listen this the sky that you brought here this rabbi is it's everything you said is true those yeah it's true gave you the verses he gave you the sources of everything stroke so people can start waking up that way you're not allowed to fall to their level and this is the problem a lot today that a lot of rabbis have this problem where sometimes they obviously if they learnt all they know the truth there's only one version of the truth although they say it was this week when he came ok where's this way you came here to fix it that was your job it was like so I keep elated ok I'll keep it like that then you become part of it yeah you know the reason the reason why a rat doesn't find the garbage smelly when he's born he doesn't know what's smelly what's not smelly he's porn like anything else he's brand new but then he goes to the garbage and you don't see him aha this food again I don't see that why because after a while he gets used to it and it becomes part of the garbage he hangs out inside the garbage he doesn't know it's garbage to him it's first-class meal so this rabbi that says no it was this way and I'm not going to disturb anything what happens he becomes part of the garbage he becomes part of the reform shul he becomes part of the conservative shul he becomes part of the secular show that no one ever does chuva he becomes part of it he may think that he's at Sadiq because he's comparing him himself to a bunch of machine but in xiamen he's actually worse than them and the reason why is because he knows what's right and wrong whereas most of them don't know what's right and wrong
