first and
foremost you should know that the grows
with the person especially after mitv so
the yet that she had when she was 7 6
years old 8 years old 9 years old 10 11
years old was very very small to the
point of uh insignificance so that's why
it was very easy for her to learned she
loved it she had no very little uh uh
remorse or temptation to go against it
and so on watch became
Mitzvah the grew even more grew much
more because now the mitv went from
being something that she should do to
something that she has to do which is a
very very big difference very big
difference that most people don't
understand
the obligation to do a Mitzvah is and
understanding that the MIT are an
obligation is a much more important than
simply liking the Torah and liking the
MIT we do the MIT because we have to and
we get rewarded for doing the mitvah
because we have to not because a we like
it it's good if you like it but the main
reward is because you have to that's
that's that's the a person that serves
his creator this person that serves as
Creator because the Creator commanded
him is is much more important in a
Creator's eyes than someone that just
decides to do something for the Creator
even if he didn't ask him
to now of course you could say yeah but
what
about is not different in essence is
serving the Creator but even more than
what he commanded us so you're doing
what you have to but even more so so the
point being is that since the changed
with her but mitvah because now she's
obligated to do the mitvah where in the
past she wasn't that's a difficult
Battle of its own second thing is you're
saying that she had some health issues I
can tell you from personal experience it
is very very easy to want to sleep
forever when you're sick very easy uh
it's very depressing it's uh very it's
mentally challenging uh the sickness is
more difficult mentally than it is
physically uh even if you have pain it's
more difficult mentally to continue
going up so it's important to know that
you to be as patient as possible with
them so much so the says that we don't
judge someone that's a uh you know in
pain meaning if they if someone that's
in pain expresses anger he's not he
doesn't get judged the same way as
everybody else that if someone's angry
they break something it's considered
idolatry if that person is in pain it's
not considered
idolatry why because once a person is in
pain there you cannot judge them period
can't judge it doesn't mean that they're
allowed to do whatever they want but in
essence there is a very very big
leniency very big leniency which we'll
discuss in another time how big that
leniency is but nonetheless when someone
is in
pain you cannot judge them at all at all
why because being in pain is something
that you cannot quantify you can't tell
somebody how much pain you're in I can
tell you that I have pain from 1 to 10
and I'm at a level six and to you okay
that's not so bad but in reality next to
somebody else a level six may be like G
whereas to that person may be you know
less and so on and so forth so pain is
something you cannot see pain is
something you cannot quantify
nonetheless pain is not something that
you can judge so when a person is going
through pain of some kind it's very
difficult it's also a age where people
tend to be lazy tend to be lazy sleep a
lot and and do a lot of things even if
they're not sick needless to say if they
are sick so this all goes in line what I
would suggest is that you know you just
simply ask her as best you can to
obviously follow the rules of the house
follow the rules of the Tora and not to
desecrate all openly uh but also try to
uh reason with her try to talk to her
try to have maybe your wife talk to her
see if there's anything you can do to
help her perhaps maybe she wants to
watch a lecture with you or there's a
video or uh perhaps uh she uh wants to
do other things but uh you know you have
to be very careful not to push her too
far because she's already dealing with a
lot so you have to with with people like
that you have to in essence use the
leniencies that are permissible to use
for example there is no obligation for a
woman to pray three times a day woman
simply need to do and die once a day
that's what a woman has to do now if she
doesn't if she doesn't then you know
again you could try to see if you can
get your wife to talk to her or maybe
perhaps reward her for it you encourage
her to do it pray together with her uh
see if you can get it to do it or
perhaps just again there are certain
times that uh you have to let certain
things go because she going through our
own difficulties and our own test but uh
I would say in this particular case when
there's pain and uh and health issues
involved you have to be a uh uh very
very patient very patient but don't uh
just uh do nothing either like try to
talk to her say you know what I'll uh
I'll pray and you just uh listen at the
very least she knows that it's still in
the house it's still within even though
it's not going to it's not fulfilling
suff at all but at the very least it
still she sees that someone else is
praying maybe she'll want to join you
okay you know what you don't have to
watch the election but I'm going to
watch why just at least sit next to me
you can do whatever you want while you
sit next to me but just sit next to me
you know listen to it in the background
and so on and so forth try to be reason
with again because it's it's a it's it's
it's a very big battle it's a very big
battle uh especially for someone that's
young doesn't have the same equipment as
someone that's old and
experienced uh so you have to be patient
with her as much as possible of course
you could
try to see uh if she can talk to
somebody more openly whether it be your
wife or the uh the local rabbitson or
somebody that she could talk to more
openly to see if there's anything
specific that's bothering her or causing
her to be tired or causing her to be
lethargic
altogether uh is it a depression and uh
perhaps even check if there's something
chemical uh it could be a chemical
misbalance that may require some help I
don't necessarily uh recommend
anti-depressants very easily in most
cases I don't think that they people
should use them but there are some cases
that people need to have them in order
to survive and not commit suicide so
sometimes this could happen in different
stages of life so you have to sometimes
check maybe it's a chemical misbalance
not just simply a uh h a uh you know
being down or bored or something but
it's actually something physical so you
have to check but the point is that
don't give up but but also don't push
too much don't push too much at a time
where she has pain and and Agony should
a Jew was returning to religion
after generational Gap go Yesa still
learning Hebrew vowels and starting
Aramaic you inspire me to better myself
I can't stop watching yesi and I have a
rabbi that studies with me thank you for
learning with me shabai I really
appreciate it uh as far as uh your main
learning
uh you should do as much of it as you
possibly can on your own uh by watching
our lectures reading uh you know good uh
authentic Torah books uh from uh
legitimate Orthodox uh um
Publishers uh that's the uh minimum but
if you can go to Yeshiva if you're at
the age of going to Yeshiva then you
should go to Yesa yes like for well as a
side note again I don't know how old you
are and
uh much about you if you're a young
person that's going to public school
then yes you should leave the public
school immediately and go to Yesa go to
a Jewish school uh do not go to public
school for a single day but if you're
already older let's say you're in your
20s where you don't where school is no
longer an obligation for you you could
elect to go to school but you don't have
to go to school uh then if you have the
ability to go to learn uh in a Yesa
would recommend it at the very least
even to go for you know for a month two
six months a year however much you can I
have quite a few students that we've
sent to
different to to different places uh when
they first started doing their cha in
some cases they only went for like a
month or two in other cases they went
for a couple
years uh you know because that's where
you could really focus all of that time
and energy on learning uh some
fundamental things that uh will take you
much longer to do on your own uh with
all of the distractions of life so if
you have the ability to go to Yesa then
I would recommend you go to
Yesa uh but if you don't have the
ability then continue doing what you're
doing but I wouldn't spend too much time
uh learning the language I would spend
more time learning the Torah because the
Torah is what's going to get you to
heaven not the language there are plenty
of people that speak Hebrew and even
Aramaic that are going to end up going
to gam for eternal
uh because you don't go to heaven just
for knowing Hebrew or Aramaic but you do
go to heaven for knowing the mitv and
then fulfilling them so especially since
you're in the early stages of chuva I
would highly recommend that you focus on
learning the mitv and learning the Torah
and what happened and who what when and
how more so than the language itself if
you have a large block of time to learn
let's say you could Lear learn 10 hours
a day or more and you want to designate
let's say a half hour or even an hour of
that time to learn Hebrew uh then that's
fine but if you only have let's say two
three hours a day to learn Torah uh then
spending a half hour or more on learning
uh Hebrew I think is not going to give
you as much uh as uh you can get from uh
learning more Torah and anyway you'll
learn more and more Hebrew over time so
it's uh again it's there's prior
priorities and you have to look at
everything you do uh like you look at an
investment where am I going to get the
most out of it both in this world and
the next when are we going to build the
third and final Temple and don't tell me
when mhia comes it's up to all of isra
we're going to build it
tomorrow tomorrow that's what
thear says when
Yeshua spoke
to and he said to when mashia going to
come and he says
tomorrow go see
him go see him so he went to go see
uh the
mashiah who was at the Gate of R he
asked the Mia when are you coming and M
said tomorrow and then the following day
came and he didn't come so he came back
to and he said to M liar because no he
meant tomorrow meaning that uh I'll even
I'll come to tomorrow if all of you do
Chua so that's the answer when is mhia
going to come when are we going to build
a temple when mhia when we all do Chua
when we all do Chua person that
understands what it means mhia coming in
the third temple being built will not be
so uh um focus on uh mashia coming and
the third temple being built more than
they'll be focused on doing chuva and
helping others do chuva because if the
mashia does come then that means that
everybody that has not done Chua will be
destroyed and that's not going to be a
fun
day are Safar supposed to tuck in their
tiit and the fringes underneath their
clothes uh supposed to I wouldn't
necessarily say supposed to uh not to be
really uh so uh precise in the semantics
of it uh you can uh tuck in the uh the
tiit uh because that's the typical
custom of sapharic Jews in Israel
especially where they walk around and
AIT is inside it's not sticking out
that's the most common custom among the
Safari Jews where the ti is inside the
clothes to hanging outside is more of an
asaz but will you be stoned if you are a
safari walking around with yourit
outside no not at all uh I personally do
most of the time it's covered if you go
to a shoe or so and it's covered uh but
sometimes if I'm in the house or even
sometimes I go out rarely but
nonetheless whenever I actually do
sometimes the out it's not a uh again
it's not an obligation to have it one
way or the other it's a uh but like I
said if a person wants to be closer to
their Customs ways you know you go to
close to your father's ways for example
then if you're Safari it would be
inside are we responsible for
professions we choose for instance if
one is an
audiologist poetrist and Etc it help
public to hear or see better and people
use the hearing to listen to or watch
im's forbidden pictures ah very good
okay so you are responsible for your
profession as long as your profession
itself or to at least make sure that
your profession itself doesn't Ena
directly enable people to do bad things
meaning if you're an optometrist or or
or urologist or anything else and you're
helping people feel healthy or have
better Visions or be able to procreate
and so on if they choose to do bad
things uh with something you help them
feel better on that's their problem it's
not on you it's not on you why cuz
you're you're they could do good with it
they could do good with it they're
choosing to do bad so the fact that
they're choosing to do bad uh is not
your problem but you cannot be let's say
a dealer in a casino or own a casino or
own a nightclub or a bar why because at
such places people don't have good
choices they only have bad choices so
you providing that service in essence
you're making them bad so you are
responsible for your profession but to
the extent of not being directly
responsible for other people's sins uh
but as far as indirectly responsible
what if let's say people use something
good for a bad reason that's their
problem that's their problem it's not
your problem will you please explain
God's
name in a pronunciation known is it
wrong to write or say
yes says and anyone that says the name
of hem or pronounces the name of hem has
no share of the world to come not
allowed to do it not allowed to
pronounce it so all of these people that
you see that are pronouncing the name of
hasem the way that it's uh the way that
it's written are um typically it's a uh
red flag for Christian missionaries
Messianic Christians or they call
themselves Messianic Jews uh those are
the really the only people that uh say
that way uh but you're not going to find
an orthodox Jew uh pronouncing hashem's
name for the reason that I just told you
you're not allow to do it we don't even
pronounce aem's name ever ever we don't
ever say hashem's name uh the uh we say
things like Hashem which means the name
what do does mean the name the name
means that the name itself is so holy
we're not allowed to say it so when I
say AEM you know that I'm only referring
to the name what but the name The Only
Name That's So holy that you can't even
say it that's what Hashem means uh we
also say the word Amai Amai means my
Lord my master uh it's with a d but even
even saying my master is so special that
we don't even say that so uh easily we
only say it e either when it's part of a
prayer or it's part of a verse even
though it's actually not God's name it's
not God's name uh even some say that the
say the word the god word is a
problematic if you're just saying itth
just like that like when people say oh
my gosh I can't believe like when they
say the actual the end D instead of a uh
sh meaning instead of saying oh my gosh
to actually say hashem's name very big
problem very big problem and this is
done every day by people I used to do it
myself for a long time until I realized
this is actually taking hashem's name in
vain one of the violations of the ten
commandments so uh and even though it's
it's the English name even though it's
the English name that s that rule that
the English name is considered holy uh
and it's interestingly enough that the
English name if you add the letters the
value of the English letters it also
adds to the UT k v k the UT KK that
you're referring to same number
26 anyway so it's a uh there's very
interesting things about the name of
hasem but but uh we're not allowed to
say it we're not allowed to say hashem's
name um the full name of hasem that
theen would use at the bet mikdash is 72
letters 72 letters anyone that knew it
would be able to uh change nature if you
will uh change nature many of
the uh would use the name at times of
need times of national need in order to
do certain things but you're not not
allowed to use it just like that uh and
uh but the point being is is that having
aem's full name is uh saying a big it's
a big deal is the understatement of the
year uh or or the century uh orever it
say seeing aem's name in full it's in
essence allows a person to uh change
nature change
nature uh many of the uh uh
times that you see TW letter words on a
card on pages in either or different
books and so on these are all different
names of God they're all different names
of him and um uh and they're used in
different ways for cabalistic purposes
and you know other types of things but
each one has a level uh but saying it by
itself has a certain value
uh doing what's called Cav has a very
much higher value and so on and so forth
point being is let's keep it Basics
basic Al bit I don't need to mess
with I don't need to mess with any
cabala I just need to make sure that I
do what I'm supposed to do in order to
avoid sin and do so I can go to heaven
that's all I need to worry about all
this other stuff is interesting it's
mentally stimulating but there's more
risk than I'm willing to uh uh accept uh
and there's no need did the planets
align when Earth came into
creation uh
yeah in the beginning meaning
before created man it was a beginning if
you will the beginning of everything he
created the Heaven and the Earth so in
essence in the heaven he aligned all the
planets where they are uh and everything
as you would see uh is in essence
spinning in place the Earth for example
is spinning uh almost 1,700 milph but in
in Sp in in the same exact place it's
not moving uh throughout the atmosphere
like a meteor if you will and everything
else is uh is doing the same thing uh
but uh for all of those a uh uh people
that think we all came from some rock
and that rock turned to all the planets
and so on one interesting proof that I I
uh saw some time ago and then recently
reviewed again is that something that's
very interesting that if uh that proves
that obviously the uh the whole uh
Evolution and everything coming from The
Big Bang explosion out of nothing is
complete nonsense is that if let's say
for example you would throw a uh Rock
okay you throw a rock it would spin in a
certain direction because of the way
you're throwing it you throw it this way
it'll spin this way you throw that way
it'll spin that way and so on and so
forth as you noticed the uh the planets
if they all came from one explosion they
all came from one explosion and that
means that all of the planets would have
to be spinning in the same
direction uh you know so so that's I
mean the fact that they're spinning is
in itself an anomaly but the point being
is if they all spinning they also be
spin spinning in the same direction but
interestingly enough there is several
planets that are spinning in the
opposite direction meaning
counterclockwise uh which obviously
negates the whole Big Bang Theory uh and
all the other garbage that people uh
brainwash the the the society with uh so
that's the thing but as far as the the
planets in essence uh they uh yes they
will put in put everything
together when wearing a tiit Mike is
asking does a man need to be careful
that TI does not touch the covered Parts
when going to the bathroom or changing
doesit have sanctity so as far asit
having sanctity yes you're you know
you're going to have AIT you're going to
kiss it at different times if you're
praying uh but it also gives you uh
protection the uh
the I think it was yeah I think it was
the Aral cried uh profusely cried
profusely before he died or maybe the
G uh or maybe both but anyway one of the
sadim cried profusely uh on his deathbed
because he says that in this world you
can make uh endless amount of MIT for
simply wearing a TI that you can buy for
10 $20 you can make an endless amount of
how every second that you wear a every
second if you're a Jew it's
aahah so he says each one of these is
another world it's a world it's a gift
that is eternal for every second you
wear a so surely every Jew needs to wear
a man
obviously but the point being is that
the definitely has sanctity but that
does not mean that um you can't use it
for certain things meaning you're
allowed to go to the bathroom with the
on so long as you obviously not soiling
the ti directly so you need to be
careful not to soil it but as far as if
it touches your uh your body whether it
be covered parts or uncovered parts
that's not a problem because anyway the
tiit is usually worn as an undergarment
so naturally at different times they
will touch different covered Parts uh
surely you know it's more appropriate if
you move it to different things but uh
you get used to it and most of the time
a person is wearing pants or or
underwear so most of the time it's not
really going to be there so when you put
theit if you're new to putting
onit uh when you're tucking it into your
uh pens you tuck it into your pens in
between the pens and the underwear you
don't put it under the underwear you put
it above the underwear so it's it's not
touching your private parts over there
uh but if you're ever going to the
bathroom and so on then uh the uh most
common approach is to take the back two
strings and the two forward strings take
them both tie them together like with
one or two knots on top of your belly
while you're going to the bathroom so
you don't have to uh worry about soiling
the
tiit uh you can do that so it's a uh so
that way you don't have or you can just
hold them in your hands uh but that's
that's that as far as the uh uh
obviously you don't take a shower with
the ti but you go to sleep with the tiit
uh if you want you don't have to sleep
with the ti uh your obligation mainly
with tiit is to wear it when you are
awake during the day that's the main
time to wear it to seit if you go to
sleep you know then obviously you don't
have to wear to se but if you do
it'sah you'll be blessed for it does
hypnosis undermine Free Will some people
under hypnosis have great strength pain
tolerance and can perform amazing memory
recall uh with specific details
everything is in a Torah what is the uh
Torah perspective of hypnosis so there
is a movie that ra misi made years ago
called life after death as uh part of
that movie uh he goes into uh
parapsychology uh and uh different
aspects of psychology and there are
certain hypnotists that are in the
psychology world as well where they use
hypnosis
in order to do something called
regression which is to get a person to
go back even before their life and uh
they've been successful at getting
people to go and start going back to
their previous carnations which as a
side note is also one of the interesting
proofs of
reincarnation uh being you know 100%
real and not just uh Theory uh even in
the non-jewish world it's it's a uh it's
a known thing anyway they're able to get
people to go back
uh many many hundreds of years before
their time and in some cases they've
been documented of having a person that
uh let's for example spoke English
before hypnotizers his only language
that he spoke and then they would go and
do this regression and the person would
go back I don't know 500 years or a
thousand years and start speaking to
them uh you know ancient French which
nobody speaks today really anymore
uh so uh yes they've been able to do
that and under hypnosis now I don't
recommend this because it is dangerous
if the person you know the person could
perhaps get a person to go back but it
doesn't necessarily mean that they can
get you to go uh come back uh to where
you are that's number one uh number two
you should never really play with your
mind uh your mind is too
valuable uh to play with it to mess with
it uh what wants you to to be is your
standard self if he wanted you to be
hypnotized he would make that the
standard uh so yes there are some that
have been able in uh you know in a
cabalistic world to do things much much
more than hypnosis there's
even which is being able to take the of
a person yourself or other people and
literally lift it to the heavens and
show the person different things and
there's stories like this this in the
and there's even stories like this in
recent Generations uh much much more
than hypnosis uh but again this is
dangerous uh you know if it's not done
the right way uh even by people that are
holy uh we have a story in one person
died uh and number two it's simply not
what Hashem is looking for us to do hem
is not looking for us to have our mind
go to uh laal land it's it's say even
though it seems like yeah but I could uh
be more focused I could be more strong I
could uh contain more pain yes but you
can't stay hypnotized for the rest of
your life you know you have to go back
to yourself so that if if you have to
keep going back to a standard that means
that the standard is what Hashem wants
you have to elevate the standard you
have to elevate the standard but without
anything else
