We are at our series finale of the kan theat series. Tonight's is going to be for the which we study this and everything else we know uh with him together and continue blessing him and his family and everything that he does. uh to and all of the amazing supporters of our organization, those that donate and uh on our website.org or other ways. uh we very much appreciate everything you do because uh this simply is uh part of your uh part of your donations, part of your efforts whether it's this lecture or the other lectures or feeding hundreds of thousands of Jews that are unfortunately in dire straits init or uh the books all the amazing things that the organization does. Anyone that wants to support and be part partners with us uh could uh donate on our website.org. Uh some of you may have gotten a text message from us earlier today. Uh don't worry, it's not a scam. This is a new marketing system that we have which is a uh good tool to remind some people to uh to donate to help to support especially now with the campaign that we have to uh help people that uh have simply lost their homes in two seconds from all the missile attack that's happening uh during this war. Uh despite the fact that there was uh uh favorable news when America decided to join the war, uh the reality is still that uh there are still being missiles being shot at Israel. And unfortunately, some of them are hitting some of them are hitting Abuai. And those people that uh are losing their homes, they're uh you know, they lose everything with it. Some of them literally are able to leave their house with just the clothes that's on them. And uh we already sent a 100,000 there and literally in a matter of 24 hours in a matter of 24 hours it's all gone gone. And we if you could look at the campaign it's it's not uh uh there's a lot more that's needed and anyone that uh has the ability should not sit on their hands and do nothing and just pray or read taim. That's all nice. Taimm groups are nice. Uh prayers are nice. But the reality is people need help. People need help. People need to uh you know pay for uh new stuff, replacement houses, all types of things. And the more help we can give them, the better. So, anyone that wants to donate could donate on the campaigns. Uh and of course, anyone that wants to partner with all the amazing things that we do as as far as the lectures and everything else could also donate on the website. Uh last but not least, uh the uh next series will start perhaps next week. anyone that wants to sponsor the series, there's several sponsorship opportunities available on the website and of course the merits for those that sponsor are literally endless. So with that being said, we have the last segment of the holy katan. It says katan a short note but in reality after we've studied it for some time now we see this is a very gad it's a very very big because there's literally endless information endless wisdom from the world of Torah from the world ofidut which helped us understand uh a whole lot better what is kasidut now of course this is not the first time that our organization has uh has entered into the world of aside from the fact that Rever Fry grew up in the world of throughout all of his young years and going to uh the Murim on a regular basis uh and uh learning with them and yes uh we've already published two books uh on the first one was the uh the book that was the gay based on the teachings of the Baltov that was already published a few years ago and then now this new book that just came out which is the Shabbat although it addresses the heresy of uh of Manis Freedman the kufel and all of his followers and supporters uh the reality is that the content in it is all about it's all sources from the across the spectrum of the Torah including the teachings of the shalom so the reason why we had to do this is simply because between those two books books. In this series, we are helping rescue people from a path to gum. Because what's happening in the world today is that people are falling for the lies of the heretics, the lies of people that claim that they are representing. uh and in reality the people are not investing or not willing to invest the amount of time necessary the months and years necessary to learn from the sources of what it actually says and if what it says actually matches what the heretics say. And what you'll find from this series, from the books that have been published, is that not only does it not say what the heretics say, it says the literally the exact opposite. But only somebody that's willing to invest their time uh into it is going to know. And what we're trying to do is simply provide people a shortcut. if they're not going to read all of the books of to try to figure out what was said and how was said, you could simply find a shortcut after watching this series and reading those books. Now, before these books and this series, people would have to go find the answers in the Tanya. They would have to find it inatan of, you know, Rabin Aman of breastlift. They would have to find it in different writings that are all over the place of the balmto. They would have to find it in different places. But after this series and after the books, people are now going to have a much easier time finding the truth if they're truly looking for it. Having easy access to the truth is one of the greatest gifts that a kadosh gave us in this generation. Now katan has delved into every aspect of a person's life from the moment that they wake up to how they are supposed to eat, how they're supposed to behave with their spouse, how they're supposed to do everything. And now that katan addresses something that applies to everyone and that's the one problem we all have at some point or another. Some people more, some people less, which is wasting time. Now, for a person to be aided, not only are they expected to not waste their time, but they're actually expected to do more than everyone else. But after all, we're all human. We all have flaws. So, what can you do to fix it, whether you're aid or not? With so many people that are posing to represent Kabel of Leens gives clear instructions of what is to be expected and what must be done whether you are aided or not and ultimately after this lecture and certainly after this series everyone is going to be able to walk away with this dayto-day tool that will help them become a better Jew and perhaps even aid. It's been a big to learn this series with you guys and this is just another mountain of Torah that we go on until the next mountain. So in the section 17 of the katan says as follows. Whenever you are not involved in Torah study or prayer, you should learn to commit to memory those passages that people need to know by heart such as that's we talked about a few weeks ago or a few months ago. The blessing over the new moon These are different prayers that we say on a regular basis whether it's every Friday night you know for Shabbat or it's uh during the times where there is tikun or the blessing of the new moon you should also think about the positive mitzvah of koshim to you I will be sanctified as written earlier See here says a whole lot with very few words as it has been throughout this entire and we're going to delve into these words to truly understand what applies to us and how it does. First and foremost, if we look at the first six words of Katan's last section where he tells us whenever you are not involved in Torah or study Torah study or prayer in so many words, what is telling us is that whenever you're not involved in Torah or prayer, do all of these other things. meaning that you should always be involved in Torah or prayer in some way or another. We wake up in the morning, we have to make prayers. We then pray the of course at some point person has to make time to learn Tawrah. Whether it's early in the morning, later in the day, whatever it is, but you have to make time to learn Torah. Every time you eat, before you eat, you can't be like a beast of the field. You have to make a blessing, somebody has to relieve themselves, go to the bathroom, have to make another blessing. In the afternoon, you say the prayer, then the learn again. In so many words throughout the day a person is constantly involved in but is telling us in between those times when you're not learning Tua and you're not praying that time is what I'm referring to. Now, of course, the lifestyle of some people is very different than others. Some people are the norm, which is they wake up in the morning, they pray, they go to work, they work all day, they come back home 5, 6, 7:00, they're tired, have dinner, talk to the wife and kids. They don't have a whole day comprised of Torah learning. Certainly, they still have an obligation to fit Torah within that day, but nonetheless, they're not learning Torah all day. While others are Torah scholars and their entire world is Torah, whether it's learning in the morning, learning in the afternoon, teaching, whatever it is, that's their that's their vocation. That's their job. But of course you see that there's a significant difference in the day of the Torah scholar versus the average person. But is not talking to just the Torah scholar like this entire series. He's talking to everyone whether Torah scholar or not whether or not because everyone can take something from it that would apply to their life. And in essence, he's telling us whatever time you're not learning Torah and you're not praying, you still have to be with a Torah mindset, with Torah on your mind. Because if you don't, you're going to have empty mind. And an empty mind will be filled with sins and things that lead to problems like anxiety. Now of course this is not just our conclusion. This is what their are saying. This what was saying the first letter. He gives us a little bit of perspective of why do some people have their prayers answered while others do not? by first telling us that what is important and he says as follows. This is the first inesh. We begin with the benediction to bless and to give thanks to Hashem for he is good. My soul has heard and was revived by the good tidings. There is no good but Torah. The Torah of Hashem is whole. Referring to the completion of the whole Talmud in most cities and congregations of the men of our brotherhood. Gratitude for the past and request for the future. Here the Balatana is writing a letter and in starting this holy Git with thank you that we all finished the Talmudi. We all completed the shas because there's nothing good but Torah meaning priority number one two and three should always have Torah in it and we complete the sh. Now of course in today's confusing world many times you walk into a place that claims to represent and you see the only thing that they're reading is perhaps maybe letters from the Rebi or the Tanya. And if you tell him, "What about learning some?" No, no, no. We focus on the on the Rebi. Well, the Rebi himself said it, the one that started Kabad. Now, you may think, well, maybe this was like a one-time thing that they studied it for a long time. Wrong. The study of the complete Talmud, which this letter is referring to, was not an incidental occasion. of demanded from his followers that this should be done annually in every city and where so applicable by every congregation of Kabad. And he continues in this letter and he says, "Gratitude to the past and requests for the future. May Hashem grant us and continue to strengthen their hearts among the mighty with the might of Torah in like manners from year to year and make known to mankind the might of the oral Torah and its strong power. Here the Tanya the ballot is telling us is telling isim is telling anyone that wants to be part of rule number one for any Jew needless to say someone that wants to claim to be aid is learning the that's the foundation of our oral but not just learning it once in a whenever you get a chance. Here he's saying just like our organization has had this mission for the last several years of completing the entire Talmud Bavi every year. We've paid hundreds of thousands to different that took this upon themselves and Hashem succeeded. And the biggest success wasn't that they completed the Tammud Bley in one year. The biggest success is that after they saw that they can do it, they continued even without the money. We have one of that completes the four times a year. Another of I think it's maybe five or six times. Of course, most people they're fortunate if they finish it once every seven or 10 or 20 years. But the point being is is to learn the every day. That's of breast famously said to his he wrote this you can bend my words as much as you want but never bend even one. Sometimes you will go to people that claim to be breast livers because they like the fun stuff. They like the food. They like the dancing. They like the smiles. They like the songs. But if you ask them basic level of Torah, they have no clue. Even though they claim to be a breast liver for five or 10 years, they don't actually learn Torah. The same thing goes with the same thing goes with non-assidic places. Many times people claim to be something, but they don't realize what that something is. And the continues in the same section. He says that the Torah commands us commands our people to be close to him, to cleave to him, to cleave to Hashem. As it's known, one hour of chuva and good deeds in this world is better than all of the life of the world to come. For the world to come is but a gleam and reflection of the aspect called chuva. and good deeds truly brings am closer to their father in heaven to his being in essence as it were the aspect of infinitude indeed and as it is written his radiance is upon the earth and heavens he raises the glory of his people who has sanctified us with his commandments and commanded us all of these different verses is that the bal is bringing us to let us know that it's part of learning Torah is to do chuva is to do good things. You can't just learn without applying. Sometimes a person could learn but nothing changes. That means that you're not learning properly. You're not understanding what you're learning or you're not applying what you're learning. But then if we fast forward a little bit into the same first section of What gives the power and strength to the faculty of the loins to support and sustain the head and the arms? It is the occupation with the study of alot in the oral Torah which is the state and manifestation of the suppernal will. here he's telling you know don't just learn my book although his book is amazing and as the uh I believe it was said how did he fit such a big god into such a small book but still even the himself is saying you want to learn you want to connect to hem learn the rest of the oral you can't just spend your whole life learning one thing in In fact, many were of the opinion that one that has not delved into the entire foundation of the Torah, which is of course the uh the of course muskim should not even delve into the because in many parts of it, it delves into such deep parts of the Torah that if a person does not have the foundational tools, they can become a picosim. One story that I just heard from Ira was the secret behind organization in the world today. But it didn't start that way. How did it start? His father Mazuz was a uh giant. There was said that there was only one yeshiva in uh in Tripoli over there and it was a kabad rabbi over there. So he sent his kids there. He sent me there and his brother. But then the boys came home and told the father that uh they're learning a so came told the rabbi listen um why are you teaching him? He said no this is what this is kabad this is what we learn. So I think the tanya is very deep has cababalistic teachings in it. It's not for young kids. they could uh get confused. It's not for people that I knew. No, no, this is what we do. The father saw that there was different kids coming up with all types of heretical questions because of their lack of understanding of what's being taught in the Tanya and decided to pull his kids out of uh of the ishiva of Kabad. And that's how he started his own school. Meaning that due to this particular point, the entire yeshiva an extraordinary organization of the biggest safari yeshiva in the world today was because of this particular point. The Tanya is keshim but it's not for everyone and he himself says it. You have to learn the foundation. Unfortunately today one of the ways that people get into the to uh into it is their bal they go to and they say oh you want to learn some it has kabala and it has all types of mystical things and it's very enticing. They don't realize that this is not for them. This is not for you. You're going to hunt sharks and you don't even know how to swim yet. How are you going to hunt a shark if you don't know how to swim? Now moving on to the next point. The balatana also dealt with people from all walks of life and sometimes people would uh tell him that uh their uh prayers are not being accepted. said look tell us that just like said whenever you are not involved in Torah study and prayer meaning Torah before prayer why because Torah is priority so whenever you see that your prayers are not being accepted they're not being answered is because is close to all those who call him to all those who call him truthfully. And what does it mean truthfully? Means with says the if your prayers are not being answered, that's because they're not coupled with Torah. That's because you're not learning Torah. You're just praying. You're just saying stuff that you want. You have no idea who, what, when, and how. You just want stuff. You just go to S. You got used to it. But when it comes to the sh you leave. When it comes to you're not available. When it comes to the couple of that the rabbi says in between prayers, you're not even paying attention. So your prayer is not coupled with Torah. It's just you pray. In fact says at the end of this he first section instruction to his and this is what he says. On all weekdays, businessmen who do not have so much time should not be the kazanim should not descend before the ark to lead the prayer. Only from those who have time, either teachers or those that are supported by their parents, whoever has time, who are able to prolong the morning prayer at least an hour and a half on all weekdays should be the ones allowed to be theim according to or by consent of the majority. In so many words, if you don't have at least an hour and a half to lead the prayer as the Kazan, don't be the if you're in a hurry, you want to make it a quick prayer. By the time he says, I don't want you to be don't be further. He says this he should gather about him all those who are supported by their parents or teachers who are able to prolong it just like himself. This arrangement should not be ch changed. I beg and beseech you meaning getan getanim get as many people as possible that are able to pray at least an hour and a half every morning on weekdays. Don't focus on the people that are in a hurry because they have to go and they don't want to they don't really like to pray. They just want to make a quick half hour and get out. No, no, no. He says my my kot only somebody that could pray for an hour and a half is allowed to be on Shabbat and on the festivals. All of the businessmen have the time and the opportunity to prolong their prayers with the devotion of the heart and the soul of Hashem to Hashem. Moreover, there is the duty to do so with exceeding uplifting and abundant strength as it says in and as it's written in Moshe where it says six days you shall work and on the seventh day of is Shabbat to Hashem your God stating expressly that Shabbat is holy to Hashem. on Shabbat or the Khagim, they too can descend before the ark, meaning to be the Kazanim according to the lot or by ascent of the majority as I wrote last year. So here he's saying, listen, the businessmen, we're not saying you're never allowed to be the Kazan. We're simply saying that since you have to leave, you can't pray for an hour and a half, you're in a hurry, you can't be the during the week, but on Shabbat, you're not working. On Shabbat, you're not working. So on Shabbat you could be the Kazan because on Shabbat it's much longer than an hour and a half and you already know that. And then he says something that's truly spectacular showing the power of the and how they laid the and it should be made known says the Tanya that bezem God willing it is my intention to send spies. Yes, he said this to send spies secretly to all congregations to find out and to inform about anyone that is able and about anyone that has the time to prolong and meditate on prayer but is slotful. He shall be punished by estrangement to be pushed away with both hands when he comes hether to hear the words of the living God. And from the negative, you can infer the positive. But with those that shall obey it will be well, and the blessing of goodness shall come unto them. There is no good but the inad he's not just giving listen you should pray an hour and a half it's good for you advice. No he's giving a command. He said first and foremost on weekdays only someone that can pray for an hour and a half. No one that's in a hurry. You're in a hurry not allowed to be two on a week on the Shabbat and holidays since everybody is not working. Everybody Shabbat and the nobody's driving to on Shabbat in those days. You have all the time of the day you even the businessman can be aan as long as it's accepted by the majority that you're fit. You fit what what's required to be aan. Not like some kilot where the guy is intermarried to and and still furthermore this is not just advice in fact says I'm going to send my as spies to all of the different of because he had a lot of I'm going to send myim to different kot and they're going to see who's here that can pray. We know this guy. We've been here for a while. We know he's not in a hurry. He could go to work whenever he wants. He could do whatever he want. He doesn't have to uh leave after only a 45minut prayer. So, he's not praying. He's just he just doesn't want to pray. They're going to inform me about those people and I'm going to punish them. How? When they come to me, I'm going to push them away with both hands. Why? What? You have time to come see the Rebi, but you don't have time to see Hashem. You don't have time to pray to Hashem. Get out of here. I don't want you. This is Kabad. This is the real Kabad. Now, of course, we live in a world that's very different today where unfortunately the majority of the people that attend, needless to say, is not exactly inim they're not exactly people that pray for an hour and a half every single day. But at least it gives us an understanding of what realidut is because only once you have clear knowledge of what the truth is can you identify falsehood. And now we also understand why the balata said that when somebody's prayer is not being accepted, it's not that there's a problem with the words that you're saying, but rather there's a problem with the Torah that you're not learning. Because if your Torah is coupled with prayer and prayer is coupled with Torah, your prayers will be answered. Why? because your prayers are considered bit, your prayers are considered truthful. But if your Torah is simply just words coming out of your mouth without any Torah that you've learned, then of course it's not truthful. Now the in page 63 gives us another aspect that we have to take into consideration when it comes to Torah study. Because all of what is saying and what the bal is saying is that Torah study for Israel is not a elective. It's an obligation. Both men and women of course men have a much bigger obligation to study every day. But women also have to study the things that are relevant to them. Whether it's laws of modesty, family purity, mus weekly para can't be a complete ignoramis and still be a kosher Jew. And especially women that have a lot of time on their hands, they should spend as much time as possible watching Torah or reading books of Torah that have to do with day-to-day life and not just chitchatting and going to coffee every five minutes because they're trying to burn time. Because if they don't learn Torah, they also will have nothing in their minds. And as we said, when you don't have Torah in your mind, something else replaces it, whether it be anxiety or sins. And sometimes when I communicate with different people that I've been talking to for a long time, students of mine, I can usually tell very quickly if they've been watching my lectures or not. Of course, when they became students, they were avid listeners. They watched many of them. They commented on many of them. They asked about many of them. But then there comes a time where that changes for different reasons that the convinces them not to watch. whether it's because they're chasing money or because they think that they uh have something else, whatever it is. But interestingly enough, at some point or another, sometimes it's a month later, sometimes it's years later, they come back around. But usually when they come back, they come back with a lot of problems and all of the other options they went to failed. So they come back to the one option that used to work when they actually used it. But the answer is as follows. Page 63A says, "Anyone who weakens himself from the word of words of Torah, he will not have strength to stand in a day of distress." As it says in a Proverbs 24:10, says, "If you have weakened yourself, then on a day of distress, your strength will be constricted in so many words, the is telling us outright, the more you weaken your Torah study, the more the problems will bother you. You will not you had strength to deal with pro. It's not like some people live with no problems just because they learn Tawra. You live in this world, you'll have problems to deal with. But when you have Torah and you've taken that upon yourself, the Torah fights for you as the says page 99 that the as you take the burden of Torah and toil in Torah, the Torah itself would fight for you and toil for you in other places. But when a person weakens their Torah less, their Torah uh uh lectures, their Torah books, they weaken, they're study less now. All of a sudden, they feel like, "Oh, I can't deal with these problems. Maybe this is a new yet. Maybe this is new problems." No, no, it's nothing new. It was always there. Your Torah weakened. Your problems have strengthened. I'm sorry. said in the name of he says this is true even if one has weakened himself in performance of only a single mitzvah meaning not only from learning Torah that if you learn less Torah all of a sudden you can't handle your problems but in fact even if someone has become weaker in one of the mitzvot all of a sudden they don't feel like saying all of a sudden they don't protect their eyes like they used to. You weaken yourself in one of the mitzvot the problems become stronger as a result of it. Now the is not here to give us just things that are going to entertain us. They're telling us life lessons that if a person were to apply them properly, it could transform their life. But we can see the words of the bala who said that if the prayers are not being answered, it's because there's lackings in Torah and what of said of how you have to anytime you're not learning Torah, you still have to think about Torah and how the itself is telling us that we have to make sure not to weaken ourselves. The page 32b says in the name of whoever prolongs his prayer and contemplates it, meaning that he's expecting that his prayer is going to be granted due to the fact that he prayed for a long time. He will get punished for this instead. with a heartache. Meaning that he'll be disappointed. What's his cure? The cure is let him occupy himself with the study of Torah. As it says, but the tree of life is the desire fulfilled. And there's no tree of life other than Torah. So then the says what? there's a difficulty. On one hand, you're saying that this applies when he prolongs his prayer and assumes that it's going to be a favorable outcome. It's not good. But then you're saying that he prolongs his prayer but doesn't expect an outcome. What's what's the uh what's the catch here? Says, "No, no, no. If he prolongs his prayer because he learned Torah and as a result of his learning Torah, he now is more connected to Hashem and he wants to pray to him even more and he wants to cleave to him more. Then that's good. That's the solution. That's why we said learn Tawa. We're not saying pray shorter. What we're saying is don't pray if you don't have Torah to back you up. Because if you pray Torah, pray without even trying to learn Torah, you will be disappointed. Because while the prayer is the seed, the Torah is the rain. again shalom had a in his co that got the mal got the cancer. He had all the alim learn and pray and they prayed and prayed and prayed but unfortunately it didn't work and the died. Soon as they buried him, he told Abraim, they came back to the call. Okay, we're gonna have a sh What? Rabbi, we just came back from burying him. We're gonna have a sh now. Okay. Everybody got together and again rebukes all the right after they buried their another they used to study with, he used to learn with, he's rebuking them. Do you know why our prayers didn't work? Our prayers didn't was supposed to work. We pray to Hashem. We learned to was supposed to work. Why didn't it work? Because we've become weaker in our Torah learning. We didn't learn enough Torah for our prayers to work. Many times a person can pray, but if they're not if they're not toiling in Torah, if they're not connected to the Torah, unfortunately, their prayers will not be answered. Now the Batana is clearly telling us that we need our prayers to work and the tool that's going to make it work is Torah learning. Here we see a very different aspect of than unfortunately what you see in the world today. where many times that's represented to people doesn't have that people like Manis Friedman make fun of Torah scholars he insults them in his book he insults them in his lectures he insults religious people on a regular basis but It's very important to know that although there's a lot of falsehood out there, there's a lot of fakers out there. That's not that's not breast. That's not any other that's just the bad people within it that make the most amount of noise. Because still to this day has many and breast has many that delve into in our in our bet and give there's a uh guy coming to the shul every day and uh after prayer he starts opens the he's not he works but After prayer, he starts opening the books and starts learning for a little while before he goes to work. And he asked our some questions about very difficult parts of the next day again. The next day again asked him are you uh you're not are you are you do you want to be an or are you studying for some type of uh the guy says to him no he said no because I ask you because usually is usually only studied by people that are either trying to be a why are you studying it he says what do you mean raman of breastlip said you have to learn the entire That's what I'm doing. That's a real breast lover. That's a real It's in the past it was the norm and today it's abnormal that when you see it it's like wow. There's another that I've met a few times here in America. I witnessed with my own eyes. There was one time a uh place I used to give lectures in and uh sometimes the guys after the lecture they would ask me different questions meetings different things that they need help and sometimes we'd be there till 1 2 3:00 in the morning and the first time I saw this guy is as I was leaving the place it was almost 3:00 in the morning after finishing all the meetings and guidance and everything else as I'm leaving the place at almost 3:00 in the this Sadik is coming. So was he's coming 3:00 in the morning. So maybe it's a one-off thing. I maybe something happened. Next time also again I was there late and as I'm leaving almost 3:00 in the morning, he's coming in and this continued. I was there. I think I went to that place for maybe a couple years. every time I was there. At one point I met him and spoke to him and but I found out this is what he does. This comes and starts his learning at 3:00 in the morning leaves his wife and kids comes to the bet midash 3:00 in the morning to start his start his learning. That's breastlift. That's the real breast lift. It's not the people that are dancing in the middle of the street or the people that uh look like they're uh runway models and they have a few clever things to say and they tag the name breast live on it. No, we're talking about people that toil in Torah. So among the fake there's many good. Therefore, you can never say all of all of breast is bad because there's many that are good. Unfortunately, they're harder and harder to find. Not because they don't exist, but because they're busy in their uh now a person has to always remember as Ravilinski said, remember what the Rambam said in chapter one number five, every single Jew, whether rich, poor, healthy or sick, young or aged and infirm, even a popper who has to beg for charity or a man with many family obligations is required to set fixed times for Torah study day and night. As a prophet Yeshua Benoon in Sephosha chapter 1 verse number 8 says you shall meditate on it day and night. Meaning that learning Torah is not a recommendation for a Jew. It's not a suggestion for a Jew. It's not even a good idea. It's simply an obligation of a Torah. Now when a person does not take this to heart, does not do it, then what of is warning us about starts applying to them because he says in every moment that you're not involved in Torah study, you should commit to memory these passages. Whether it's why why why should you remember these things? Because when you don't have Torah in your mind, something else will replace it. All of a sudden, you're worried about anti-semitism. All of a sudden, you're worried about your bank account. All of a sudden, you're worried about whether your spouse is cheating on you. All of a sudden, you're worried if your business partner is going to cheat or rob or steal or this or the customers are going to leave. You have all of these things that exist anyway. But Hashem is taking care of them. When your mind is empty of Torah, they start bothering you. And if that's not bad enough, when a person is full of anxiety and worries about their finances, about their loneliness, about their whatever it is that's happening that's not connected to the Torah, what ends up happening is that they start becoming more inclined to sin. All of a sudden, they want to drink. All of a sudden they want to go to a nightclub. All of a sudden they want to gamble. All of a sudden they want to make all types of different sins. Why? Boredom leads to sin. But he's not bored. He's full of stress and agony and he's difficulty. Yeah. Yeah. Bored of mind. A mind that's not full of is bored. And therefore says I understand that you're not allim that are learning at 3:00 in the morning and not delving into day and night. I understand but you too have to protect yourself. You too have to protect yourself. So knowing the fact that you're not able to learn for 10 15 hours a day doesn't absolve you from the obligation to protect yourself against bad things. So how can you do it? Simple. Take to heart that you have to remember something of Torah at all times. Whether it's certain psalms, you know, one by heart, two of them by heart, three of them by heart. Say them in your head all the time. Say them out loud if you want. Instead of having an empty mind, thinking about the government, thinking about what's going to happen with Iran, what's going to happen with the neighbor, what's going to happen with the stock market. Think about taim. Say in your mind. Say an different you know say different verses different verses you know you know verse different verses maybe it's the verse for your name maybe it's a verse that uh you know that you just simply remember whatever it is don't leave your mind empty. Why? It's empty. It becomes vulnerable to all the worst things. There was one time a guy that came to Salant and told him, "Rabbi, listen. I hear everything you're saying, but I need I need help with the solution of how I can learn Torah." So say, "What's the problem?" He says, "Well, I don't know how to read. I don't know how to write. So, how could I learn Torah? So he says sister, well how do you keep me if you don't know how to read and write? He says listen everything I saw my father do I do. I saw him in the morning he woke up and he said I remembered it and then he washed his hands and then he did a blessing. So I do it. Then after that I saw he puts on and then he made a blessing. So I do the same thing. Before he ate he made a blessing. So I do the same thing on Shabb didn't light fire. So I don't light the fire. Whatever I saw my father do, I do it. But I don't know how to read. I don't know how to write. I don't know nothing. How could I learn to send this to this poor Jew? No problem. You could learn Torah. How? You can learn Torah by simply repeating everything you do. What do you do in the morning? I I wake up. I say say that okay after that what do you do I do say that say I do in the morning in the morning you wake up you do and you wash hand one hand one hand one hand one hand not like when you do with the bread where it's three and three that's you put on the filling say a blessing that's when you're saying the things that you do those are those are laws of that's learning Tora In fact, the teach us that if a person doesn't know much dua, but he wants to have a verse in his mind and the only verse that he remembers is in Beres chapter 36:22. says that verse is Lutan's sister was Timna. If anybody remembers Timna is the mother of Amalik but the verse says Lutan sister is Timna says if the only thing you remember is that say the verse that's a verse in the Torah and in fact the Yeshua says there's no difference between the verse Lutan sister is Timna and the Israel or the Ten Commandments. Why? They're all verses in the Torah. And they all contain wondrous secrets of the Torah that are incomprehensible. Whether it's that in the beginning, Hashem created the heaven and the earth or it's sister or it's or it's the different commandments. I am Hashem your God took you out of Egypt. Whatever verse you remember, all of those verses are the same thing, same significance, not one over another. That's why the Rambam says it's forbidden for a to stand up when the bal is reading from a Torah and he's reading the Ten Commandments. Why? Because you're treating the Ten Commandments as if they're more significant than any other verse in the Torah. All of the verses in the Torah, all of the letters in the Torah, whether it's the names of the descendants of or the descendants of Adam or Yakinu or whatever it is, they all have the same level of significance. They all have to be observed. They all have to be respected. They all have to be sanctified. Everything is in fact if a person only remembers sister is he will still get rewarded for Torah learning as long as he repeats it constantly. In fact, he even says say it out loud. Even if there's people next to you, you could just whisper it. But at least say something instead of allowing your mind to be empty because if it's empty, terrorists, spiritual terrorists will enter it. The says the Satan is so evil that even his creator who called him evil. And the Satan's ultimate way, ultimate goal is to destroy you. But he doesn't go for the destruction on day one. What does he do? He tries to destroy your time first. get you to get away from Torah, get you to waste time on things that you don't need to do, things that are simply a waste of time. Anyone that watched the film we made recently, the mitzvah of the Satan, if you haven't watched it, highly recommend you watch it. If you have watched it, you should watch it again. Give you an extra. But the Satan doesn't go for the jugular on day one. Doesn't try to kill a person right away. He tries to kill their time. Tries to kill and destroy their time in any way possible. Why? Because the more time he destroys and you ends up wasting, the less Torah there is to be learned in that day. And worst than all, if he's allowing the Satan to enter his mind and let him waste time, then the Satan also has free access to put whatever else he wants in this person's mind. All of a sudden, he's worried about the uh global uh financial situation, the geopolitical situation. All of a sudden, he's worried about his uh neighbor. All of a sudden, he's worried about the the car. Maybe he wants a new one. Maybe an old one. Maybe uh new tires. Maybe I should mow the lawn. Maybe I should uh make the trees look nicer. All of a sudden, he starts putting ideas in the person's head just to get him away further and further from a Torah. And once in a while, he puts a mind there. He puts a mind a heretical thought. He puts some a mind in there of why is God doing this to me or why this all types of heretical thoughts. It's an empty mind. It's open for business of the Satan. And therefore says whether you are aided or you're not protect yourself. You have a mitzvah obligation to protect yourself. you have to protect preserve your soul. So if you're able to learn Torah, then learn as much as possible. But if you find yourself in a situation where you're working all day, you find yourself in a situation where you're busy with the kids all day, you find yourself in a situation where you have to attend to all types of errands, you have to go to the supermarket, you have to go to some government office, you have to go to wherever it is that you need to do during that time where you're on the way. During that time where you don't have to interact with people, during that time where it's just time where you are just thinking, don't let yourself think about anything other than Torah, whether it's a verse in a Torah that you remember or that you remember, Torah that you anything that's connected to the Torah. Why? At least that's going to allow your mind to be occupied with holy Torah and not with foolishness that could literally destroy you where instead of going to the department of motor vehicles to get a license, you'll end up going to a bar and make 500 million sins where it's going to take you 20 years to do chuva for them. If you knew what kind of what kind of things people tell me that they need to do chuva for, literally you you'd cry blood from the things that people need to do chuva for. Married men, married women, young people, old people, all types of things. What people have done to themselves literally they've literally destroyed themselves. But they want to do chuva. At least they want to do chuva. But it's not easy to do chuva. But how do they get to those places, those far away places? It all starts with empty mind. An empty mind is simply target number one of the Satan to put all types of junk in there. That's why you see usually the people that fall for the heresy or the idolatry, whether it's Christianity or Manis Freedman, there's really no difference between the two. The people that fall for those traps are usually people that unfortunately are not exactly Torah scholars to say it nicely. Now after that tells us don't waste time. Learn to uh pray even when you're not able to pray. Think about Torah thoughts. But also remember what I said in the beginning of this satan about the mitzvah of I shall be I will be sanctified. What is this? This is delving into the thoughts of how to sanctify yourself. Whether it's sanctifying yourself in regards to kaduca, protecting your eyes, not looking at things that are not modest, not looking at immorality, not being part of immorality, or it's sanctifying yourself when it comes to food, literally making sure that you eat to live and not live to eat. There's a whole segment of this series about that. There's also a whole segment about that. In the uh Jewish intimacy series, we did literally comprehensive teachings about the whole aspect of eating. Between this series and a series about of the Ramban, a person could become much holier even if it's just applying the teachings to their food of how to eat, what to eat, when, why. So says thinking about those foot of how to sanctify yourself. When it comes to the times where you're alone with your wife, you're alone with your husband. Think about how it could become more holy and not more anim animalistic. Anyone that goes back to that lecture in the series where talks about sanctifying, he says even when you are laying in your bed and you want to go to sleep but you can't, it's just not happening right away. Sometimes some people it takes them a while, 5, 10, 20 minutes, a half hour. Don't just waste that time sitting there for 40 minutes. Think in your mind about how you would love to die on and how you're dying on. I mean again this is elevated. This is for much higher level people than the average. But the point being is that is what is meaning to elevate yourself starts with elevating your thoughts your mind with more Torah because if a person is not elevating themsself they're simply going to go down. Now, today there's so many corrupt teachings out there that some are presenting quick fixes to your problems. How? They're not telling you how you should behave every day. Follow Torah and mitzvot. No, no. They're simply telling you come to some seminar where we're going to tell you you can meditate with us, do all types of strange moves and make strange sounds and then listen to some voice of the speaker on the stage tell you all type of things that sound nice and that's going to make you relax right before they try to sell you drugs. This is exactly it. They try to calm you down, make you feel better about your miserable life, and then they try to sell you drugs, but they say, "No, no, the drugs, it's not really drugs. It's it's it's a uh it's hallucinagens, though." Yeah, but it's not really hallucinate. Yeah, it's really hallucinagens, but we have doctors that that oversee it. Doctor or no doctor? It's an elusagen. It could kill the person. It can make them go crazy. It's forbidden by the Torah. No, no. It actually could it could potentially elevate their spirituality. If they take this acid or they take this other drug that's that's illegal, then maybe they'll they'll even feel God. Did Rashi take these drugs? No. Did Mosher Abenu take these drugs? No. Abrainu? No. No. No. Who took it? Other than you. Other than you false people? Who? But that's today. Today why why they why is this cell happening? Because people don't want to work on their mind on a regular basis. They don't want to work on their time management to learn Torah on a regular basis. They want quick fixes. What's a quick fix? The same thing in the secular world unfortunately has breached into the religious world. What is it? Drugs. That's actually what's happening. If you want big solutions to big problems, there is no quick fix. What is telling us here, in fact, the fix is so big for that big problem that in order for you to fix it, you have to start becoming a micromanager of your time. What are you doing with every second of your day? wake up in the morning with a plan of how to utilize the 86,400 seconds that are in every 24 hours. So you don't have the disastrous situation where you arrive in Shamim and all of these seconds come to attack you and tell you wasted me. You burned me. Why didn't she use me to learn about Hashem? Why didn't she use me to at least think about Hashem? Why didn't you use me to say taim or at least a verse? Why didn't you put on rabbi rub to watch a Why didn't you use me instead? What did you use me to think about Iran? To think about kamas to think about uh the the pornography. Why did you why? Why? Why did you waste me? Every second will come as a prosecution. Why? That's what the tell us. every there's a special mala that counts every second of your life and is going to report to you what did you do. So this not only shows us that the judgment in heaven is very different than what most people think but it also shows us there's no such thing as quick fix. There's no such thing as quick fix. There's quick problems but no quick fixes. the people that are preaching quick fixes by meditating and then taking drugs or meditating and then subscribing to some seminar for $5,000 where you don't really know if it's any different than what you're going to get for free from your local rabbi. Needless to say, from shim that we've had over the years, people are falling for the trap. Why? Because they are making themselves pray for the beasts by not allowing themselves to realize big problem requires big fixes. There's no quick solution. There is no quick solution. And if you do not start thinking that way that you have to occupy your mind with words of Torah in some way or another whether it's watching a constantly or reading a book constantly or remembering certain taim by heart or certain prayers by heart or certain by heart or something to delve into the Torah, you are putting yourself in jeopardy from wasting time to think about things that will make you anxious. Wasting time to make you think about things that will make you sin. Wasting times about things that will make you depressed. Wasting times into things that will make you a heretic. Absolute heretic that loses. Only bad options are available in a world where your mind is wasted. Only bad options. There is no good option. It's either small sins, big sins, anxiety, idolatry, only bad things. Why? An empty mind. Target number one of the Satan. This is also why the said that even before you come and learn Torah, take a minute and do chuva for not learning Tua as much as you're supposed to. Because that way when you learn Torah, the Torah sees that you did chuva, that you said, "I'm sorry. I wasn't with you as much as I should." The Torah will accept you easier and it's going to be easier for you to learn Torah. In so many words, the Torah is like a woman where you can't just uh not call her for 6 months and then expect her to pick up your call. Doesn't work that way. You can't leave your wife for five years without writing any letters and then show up. Hi honey, I'm home. Doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way. The Torah is no different. If you have wasted time and you have not learned to before you start learning, the says do I'm sorry to I'm sorry I did not learn to please forgive me. Please forgive me. Let me learn to where I could actually understand it where I could actually remember it. And that's why that I already mentioned says to us that we can't be so foolish to think that we could solve our own problems. We need the Torah's help. And says in page 99B, if a person toils in the study of Torah, the Torah will toil for him. for he is settled in his mouth to it. The verse is teaching us that a person that toils in Torah in this world then his Torah in essence the Torah and knowledge that he learned and constantly reviewed will toil in his behalf in other places meaning in Shim. But further than that, Rashi says, the Torah toiling for him is number one, it could solve his problems. Problems he has with the IRS. Instead of the IRS sending him a bill of $300,000 that he didn't even know he'd owes, now all of a sudden the IRS gives him a refund for 17,000. Or better yet, Torah's secrets become available to him even though he's not at the level to acquire those secrets. Why? You toiled for it. You toiled for me. I'm going to give you some gifts. I'm going to give you some gifts. Now, this also means that a person that takes this to heart is going to benefit in the fact that they're going to remember their Torah. How many times have people asked me over the years, how could I remember? I learn, I learn, and I forget everything. Well, guess what? One of the greatest blessings that a person can get is to remember the Torah that he has. And even though there are different including my own RAM that have written about different strategies to remember Torah, ultimately everyone says the same thing which is toiling in Torah will enable you to acquire the Torah where the Torah is going to allow itself to be remembered by you. But if a person expects to learn everything. They watch and they watch it like it's the news and then they expect to remember what it says. It's not going to work. I've said to guy to people 50 million times over the years. If you're watching my shim like it's the news, it's not going to stick. It's not going to stick. You may be excited by one or two things that I've said, but then you'll forget it. The way you should watch is yes, the first time you watch it. If you watch it live, great. Try to write some notes, few pointers, different things that stood out. If not, do it after. Review the sh again. Study it like a book. Meaning different things that stood out for you, different things that you like, different things you want to remember. Write them down. Write a short sentence. Start building up notebooks of notes. Not only is this going to help you remember it because you're now using multiple senses. And each time you use a different sense, it's like you reviewed it. Initially, you heard it. That's one sense. Then you wrote it. That's a sense of touch. Then you saw it. That's a third sense. So you have multiple senses that you're using. That's like you review the same verse, the same statement three times. But furthermore, when you commit things to writing, you tend to remember them better. Now, this is not to say you should write every word that I say. Point is to write the things that stand out to you. The more you toil, the more you'll remember. The more you remember, the easier it is going to be for you to apply it. But this also means that even if someone is not the average person that's having a tough time with learning Torah or with thinking proper thoughts, even if the person is aid is in the world of they still have to deal with this and make sure that their mind is clean and is constantly thinking of Torah because who says that what you're learning is what you're understanding. And that's one of the things we saw and we wrote about in this where you see it's not just highlighting the heretical thoughts of this menace but it's also seeing how he manipulated the verses how he manipulated the teachings where there should literally be 20 million Jews and billions of others that believe in the Torah. That should make him enemy number one for the things he said. First, he says these are his words. We're quoting him from his book, from his videos, all of public information. He says God is divided into three. One of them does handles the creation. Just like we say is elenu there. These are two names for God. and Elohim in so many words he says the is a contradiction because says here O Israel Hashem our God hem is one manis freedman says no no no this is two god this is two parts of god in so many words what he says he says it's three but it's really one but it's one that's really three where is this from this is from Christianity this is what he says in his in his in his videos the whole hashem needs you thing is literally if you look at the list of of heretical statements he made, this is like one of the smallest ones among them. It's still one of the one of the big big crimes he continues to make and build on, but he says things that are worse and worse, but nobody says anything about it. or that he says that God has a real hand and you are the uh parable, you are the mush. This is another heretical statement against the 13 principles of faith. Now, one of the things that he says on a regular basis, there's no punishment. He writes this and he says this, there's no punishment. We don't deserve to be punished because God brought us to the world. He's he's at fault. Or he says, don't be religious. It only creates problems. These types of statements are not only heretical for against the Torah, they are heretical even against the teachings of now he says he's a follower of the Labavi but the Labavi is not his teacher. Because the says the exact opposite of what he says in the Rebi says, On the second day, the opposite creation of of heaven was created because there had to be a place where you go down to it. Hashem had to create gay in order to create fear of punishment. Clearly the Rebi is saying what Tora says, but it's the opposite of what mana says. So the moment that mana says there's no punishment, no one's going to get punished, God's going to say I'm sorry to that alone should have gotten 20 million Jews to literally want to stone him. But you don't. people continue listening. He also says that there's no uh the Holocaust wasn't a punishment and people always misquote what the Rebi says about this is in page 133 of our book. when it comes to when it comes to fear of God, there was a certain uh group of people that came to the Rebi for advice and he clearly says to them, he says to this group, In regards to fearing God, it should be fear from the punishment of gay. Not just that they'll lose their reward because part of their servitude of Hashem has to be to constantly remember that the day of death will come and at that time no chuva will help a person. And what the menzes says about how how can you burn a soul can't burn a soul. He famously says this and laughs about it in page 263. clearly says from here we learn was clearly a place where there's fire that burns the soul just like you burn the silver and gold, all the things, all of the impurities off of it. So apparently manism missed this because he says that gum is just that you don't feel comfortable. You don't feel comfortable. And then Manis famously says as we quote in page 139 he says no Jew should be punished not only because we didn't ask to come to the world says manis freedman but also because God hid himself from us for so many years so it's his fault. says also page 263. What our sages said that he chose for for AI is to go into the exile, go into Egypt instead of going to Gome at that time because something was required to purify the namote. and he goes into the details of what happens to these namote and gay and how they're burned. And then for those that say, "Okay, yeah, but that was back then, but maybe the Rebi didn't talk about what's happening now, like no, no, no. The Rebi specifically says that was in regards to the first exile. That was the first one. What about now?" He says the reason why we are in the exile now is because of our sins. It's not because God has hid himself. It's not because he didn't ask to come to the world. No, no. because of our sins that we are not says the exile is not we're not it's not upon us because that's what the uh nations decided rather it's only because of our own sins we were exiled from our n from our country and including the people Jews that are living in including the Jews that are in the exile. This is innat page 180 in so many words. I would tell you when you go through this book, you're going to find not only the manipulation and outright lies and heretical statements of Manis and his followers. But you're going to find the real teachings of the sages among them the leaders of among them the among them the zad among them even the elevated teachings that are not for everyone which is in part two of the book also included but only after you read part one so people don't think oh no maybe they don't The point I'm trying to make here is that what we've learned from whether it's the first book that we published which is gum based on the teachings of the baltov which included me and many other of the great or it's this bookam or it's this series which is the foundation of as was third generation after the baltov. What we've learned from all of this is that is beautiful. Is wonderful. But unfortunately, what's being sold to most people is something that looks like from the outside, but is 100% idol worship, Christianity or other types of heresies inside. And the only way for one to protect themselves from falling into the traps is by committing time to learning the real Torah in order to be able to identify the truth and thereby have a much easier time staying away from the falsehood. This includes the first segment of the katan all the way to the end. Whether it's managing the way a person eats and wakes up and does mitzvot to even managing their thoughts on a minuteby minute second by second basis. A person doesn't become a heretic in one second. It's a gradual process of allowing your mind to remain empty. allowing your mind to give an opening to the Satan to bring all types of anxieties, all types of fears, all types of false responsibilities and eventually all types of minds of heresy of a picul of things that are foreign not only to you but to the Torah. Whether you want to become aided now or not, that remains your choice. But I know that at the end of this series, every single one of us should have a clear understanding of what a real is, what real is, and most importantly, what it's not. and we're able to follow the ways of the realim and continue fighting against those that misrepresent it and bless our ways to win and sanctify his name. Thank you very much for learning with me. It's been a real to learn this series with you guys. It's been a real to learn this and continue to grow and we continue to sanctify name and learn all of the ways of the great sages as says himself in his anot the anagot the path to perfection in the first segment we'll finish it off with The first thing you should do is study with rashi toot and other commentaries based upon your level of understanding. Afterward, continue to the authorities starting with the you should pray to God to help you arrive at the truth. For the sins of your mouth, of your youth can blind you so that even though you can debate concepts and instruct others in the law, you will forget it yourself and not truly observe it. And therefore, you should deeply regret your sins and spend time alone before dawn, which is a favorable time to cry repeatedly over the exile of the You should also spend some time alone during the day. Picture your sins as large as hills and mountains standing before you. For without doing so, you may never remember them. Nor should you do this merely once or twice, but hundreds of times until God has mercy on you. Pray to him to lead you on the right path and to teach you his ways so that you do no squander so you do not squander your life. In his great mercy and kindness, God will enlighten you and the light of his holy Torah so that you can understand it and fulfill it. we will be able to fulfill the words of and the rest of the great that not only toiled but sacrificed everything for the sake of serving hem. Thank you very much to will learn again soon. [Music] I don't know. [Music] foreign. [Music] I will tell you [Music] alive. Give it to me. [Music] That's [Music] Oh, we got so long. [Music]
