after answering some questions to verify that you're not some crazy missionary We'll add you to the group as the uh so with that being said I mean there's a lot to say Tor is a Endless Ocean uh but uh let's let's see because we have a uh we have a world today that is uh slowly but surely becoming more and more like Sodom uh which Hashem destroyed already several times in the past we destroyed the generation of Noah when they wanted to live a world that's antithetical to the rules of God uh he destroyed the uh Sodom and gamorra he destroyed Egypt he destroyed all of these great civil izations uh great in size and power uh but uh not uh not great in uh spirituality and actual real uh contribution to uh to uh to the world of of Hashem but nonetheless uh the world today is slowly but surely becoming uh more and more like Sodom and unfortunately there are some Jews that are in the Forefront of trying to expedite this uh in in uh making this world more and more like Sodom and uh whether it's the uh Wicked people that are in Hollywood or it's the uh ones that are trying to become more famous like this uh uh you know Wicked cursed show called unorthodox that I keep hearing about uh or it's the uh government members and different members of society in the uh in Israel that uh you know simply hate the Torah so much that they forgot to even read or even know what it is but they're so full of hatred that they do anything and everything possible uh to uh to keep it away from them and you see from time to time people send me videos and somebody uh sent me a literally like a 30 second 40 second video of some secular idiot uh that uh just simply was yelling and almost beating up a real estate agent uh in Israel because he was showing an apartment to a religious couple and uh he because he didn't want any religious people to move into the neighborhood I mean the this the sociopath uh in society today it's it's it's really it feels like it's a new thing but as schl says there's nothing new Under the Sun now of course the the new government today in Israel is at war with the tah the new government in America is at war with the tah this is not a new thing uh this is just the uh uh the phase that we're at the phase that we're at this phase comes and goes throughout the generations and uh but really if we see uh if we see the the Paras we see that this is not only uh uh something new uh not only something that's not new but actually something that we already know what the conclusion of it is going to be and uh really what I'm going to try to do today after showing a few points is try to get a better understanding of what are they really fighting what are they really fighting and do they have anything better to offer so here this week's book of Deuteronomy chapter 11 end of chapter 11 book of Deuteronomy is where it begins here it says see I present before you today a blessing and a curse notice it's not a blessing or a curse it's a blessing and a curse that's what to is to is everything it's not this or this it's both it's both there is no uh it's it's it's not a uh uh uh that if you uh live in this world and uh you do whatever you want perhaps your life is going to be a blessing or a curse no if you do what Hashem says your life will be a blessing if you do what hasem against what hasem says your life will be a curse simple because that's that's in essence the rules of the world so says the blessing that if you uh uh if you herken the blessing to the to the Commandments of hasem your God that I command you today and the curse if you do not heren to the Commandments of Hashem your God and you stray from the path that I command you today to follow gods of others that you did not know now of course most people look at this say oh gods of others idolatry well you know uh even though there's unfortunately a uh uh some Jews that are so far from Judaism that they go to Christianity uh or the new version of Christianity called Messianic Judaism but it's obviously no different than Christianity mamash uh because the Christians Rebrand themselves just like Nike and Adidas and all the other uh uh uh things out there they they Rebrand themselves Christianity rebrands itself because it uh wants to uh fool more people and it's taking advantage of people's uh ignorance just like it has from its foundation uh that's in essence the uh uh the biggest Liars in history obviously come from Christianity simply because the whole religion is based on one big lie that some woman that was a Zona uh you know uh brought a child to the world from uh from God uh so you know the whole religion is based on lies and nonetheless that's what they do today they call themselves Messianic Jews you know the it's the most absurd oxymoron in the history of man but nonetheless there are people that are going there and generally speaking you'll find the people that are going there are going there because they never actually read the Kash in their life they never understood what they read they simply are just following with some fool with a uh uh with a sophisticated language uh told them and uh in essence uh uh enamored them with their speech that's generally what uh what what happens in the in the world today of people that leave uh their uh their Heritage uh that they weren't so connected to uh uh to begin with and go to Christianity but that's a small amount still we see that there are a lot of people that are uh not necessarily going into Christianity but are still considered Idol worshippers according to the Torah why because they live their lives against the uh the rules of God mainly uh do not keep Shabbat dishonest in business they eat non kosher and so on and so forth so the Torah here is telling us that you should know that idolatry when it to why is mentioning idolatry it's not just talking about uh praying to some Idol like Yos you know Jesus of Nazareth or some Buddha statue or some cow no it's it's anything that is foreign a is serving something other than Hashem so serving something other than Hashem could be serving money you know instead of coming to a you instead are choosing to to work extra and to because you think that you can make more money not that hashem's going to give you more money but you can make more money uh or to uh go chase a uh you know a uh a girl because instead of learning T instead you're uh you know you're learning about women you're learning about sports you're learning about money you're learning about everything else but AEM this is a form of and in essence the whole secular world is a form of ab not but nonetheless it's a form of ab where people are serving something else and in many cases it's either money or it's their desires uh or it's a uh you know something uh in between those but nonetheless the t is mentioning a because when somebody performs a it's as if they've violated every single law in the Torah not just that one law but the whole toah itself and hasem says that if you're going to hearken to my Commandments if you're going to follow my Commandments then you're going to live a life that's full of blessing that is the outcome of living a life full of Tor it's not a uh it's not even a reward but rather it's simply an outcome just like if a a person puts their hand on Ice the outcome is that their hand will be cold if a person puts their hand in fire the outcome is that their hand will be burned simple it's not a punishment that the hand will be burned and it's not a reward that your hand will be cold it's simply an outcome of the actions it's a cause and effect and the uh says that I created the world with such uh nature with such rules uh instilled in it that you have blessing and a curse come automatically when you live a life that is full of my you will live a life of blessing when you live a life that's full of uh idol worship you know foreign worship your life will be cursed now of course many people don't see this that way when they're not living a life that's full of Torah uh you know even if a person claims to be religious puts on a keeper perhaps keeps a few MIT but is not really glued to the Torah is not really serving hasem 100% it has has their heart a little bit here and a little bit there which in Ence means they're 100% uh far from Hashem then what ends up happening is that uh many times those people are looking at the grass being greener on the other side where they see that the secular World perhaps uh looks better like this one uh you know young kid that uh I spoke to yesterday I've been trying to uh explain to this kid that there's nothing that I can tell him that he would simply uh understand uh not because he's stupid but rather because he's spiritually defective because of the sins that he's making I mean I could show him every single thing under the sun and he'll find some way to just tell me he just doesn't want to believe it or he's having a hard time believing it and and it's and it's not even just Torah it's literally anything that I say he has a problem with and uh I told him if you you know if you stop making these specific sins one of the main uh being uh wasting seed you'll uh you'll at least make yourself into a better vessel to accept the truth for what it is uh but his his uh response to that was that there is some type of homosexual rapper uh that uh performed some show and then uh did some type of uh abominated uh Abomination on stage and he got a standing ovation and he and this young kid this young foolish kid thinks that this is Success there's obviously nothing further from the truth this is the most filthy disgusting thing in the world and in the previous generation that have stoned both of them uh but nonetheless uh society today does believe that that is Success that if you get on stage and you perform an abominable act then you are successful if you uh you know have a headline in a newspaper telling people how much money you have in the bank account or you're supposed to have in the bank account that means you're successful and of course we've had this discussion many times disagrees hasem disagrees where he says if you're living with my Torah but you're 100% with me you live a life of blessing if you're not with the Torah you live a a life that's full of curses and in reality when you look closer into people's lives that's what you see that's actually what you see when you read for example was one of the in the previous generation not just in a uh in Torah wisdom but also as a speaker as a as an inspiration to the generation was one of theim in the previous generation but lived in in the type of poverty that uh really you wouldn't even wish on your enemies but nonetheless they will completely happy so much so that they felt that they have enough to spare they have enough to spare remember the story that I told you I believe last week where they all they uh they didn't have enough money to buy a refrigerator or cooler uh and they would keep the food in a well because it would keep it cool uh so now uh another another thing is that one of the things that sh taught his children how to become toim how do you make your children toim by simply teaching them to be full of non-stop kindness to society as much kindness as humanly possible if you don't want to be kind you don't belong in this house and as soon as the children got to a certain age they uh he would send them on missions to perform kindness in the community these instead of you know having the girls roam the streets and get bored and and cause trouble what would he do they would find out which uh which woman is now a uh Widow which uh person is lonely and they would send their uh his uh his daughters to uh stay with those with those poor women so keep him company keep him company even though some of these women lived in horrific conditions of poverty where in one particular case it says that uh one of the daughters you know was a uh complained because there was a hole there was a hole in the ceiling of the woman she was staying with and the whole night the uh the water was was Dripping on her head and he said I I I'm willing to do everything but this is just too much and simply they figured out a solution for it they figured out a solution for it where you'll still be able to stay there but you won't necessarily have to suffer the the water dripping on your head while you're sleeping on the floor but see this is young kids performing which completes strangers and some cases even people that were uh for all intents and purposes uh you know antagonizers and enemies of the shadon family they would still send their girls to go help these poor people uh so much so that uh he would have guests guests in his house people that you wouldn't even want to uh uh walk next to but as soon as you would see that these people did not have a place uh uh for Shabbat he would invite them and put them and sit them at the head of the table and in one particular case it says uh that uh uh there was a guy that it was simply a uh everyone when sawon sh immediately stayed 6 feet away from him why he was so poor that he didn't have the ability to change didn't have the ability to uh to bathe didn't have ability to do a lot of things to the extent where you saw the fleas the fleas on his clothes the fleas in those days they didn't have uh the easy way to kill these things like they do today if something uh flee go on something that's it you have to pretty much destroy it so uh you know and radon invited this person to his house for Shabbat he didn't have him sleep at the house but rather went to uh uh uh the uh one of the uh someone that owned a hotel motel type of place in the uh in the area convinced him to give him the room and he's going to pay him whatever damages happened to the uh to the furniture and everything in the room uh as a result of these fleas and this person sleeping there but coming out of it his pocket doesn't know the guy from Adam but he sees this is a Jew this is a son of I owe him kindness why do I own kindness because I need to fix myself so you see that these types of things they don't happen in a secular world because there's no such mentality in a secular world to help some uh uh some complete stranger for the sake of fixing yourself usually when you see people uh helping others it's in order to get credit to make themselves feel better it's it's in order to make themselves look better but not the understanding that you helping another is in essence helping yourself become better become better so here the the life of a Jew uh a religious Jew versus life of a secular person uh Jew or otherwise are completely different based on the perspective of of how they look at life what they get out of life and in today's world unfortunately uh it's growing closer and closer to being more and more like Sodom and gamor and in some cases I think it's worse now says that in the same that you shall be careful to perform all the decrees and the ordinances that I present before you today I believe this is a personal rebuke to every single person in this generation especially people that are tempted to live a more modern type of life where you're cutting off the MIT whether they're rabinal or their biblical mitv such as modesty uh you see that in different communities among people are starting to cut off different MIT and modernizing the Torah apparently they forgot that t is eternal and T says that you have to uh be careful to perform all of the decrees not just the ones that you feel like doing now when uh when it comes to uh when it comes to foreign worship whether that foreign worship is uh money or or or desires or actual Idol of some kind like in Christianity discusses this extensively in this saying that uh you shall smash their pillars and their sacred trees shall you burn in fire all these Christmas trees that people have renamed into hanaka tree the only mitvah to do with a tree is to as far as as far as bringing it to your house is simply to destroy it there's no such thing as a Han tree and it can never be a hanuk tree why because this custom comes from idolatry and by default becomes a hatte a hated custom a hated uh uh uh act uh of idolatry uh andh who hates idolatry so much that it says that you shall obliterate their name the says that what does it mean to obliterate their name from here we learn that there's a mitvah to make fun of anything to do with idolatry it's it's it's a Mitzvah to call uh uh uh Jesus of Nazareth yes which me which is the acronym may his name be blotted out it's a to do that not like it's a nice thing to do it's a just like putting on to say about Christianity is a to make fun of it to come up with all types of names to mock it is a now again you have to be smart with you can't be stupid with going don't go into a church full of uh uh full of Christians and tell them that they're all Idol worshippers and have uh throw rocks at them obviously no one is staying to do stupid things like this but nonetheless when when you understand that it's a mitvah to make fun of idolatry it's a mitvah to make fun of these idolatrous practices this is when a person truly understands how much detests it and how there can never be a replacement uh to Judaism to the tah itself now uh the par continue continues to talk about different acts of uh UHA that we were obligated to do that uh uh but then it starts talking about business where where it says that that you shall not do like everything that we do here today uh rather every man what is proper in his eyes for you will not have will not yet have to come so hereu is trying to tell us that a person needs to understand that they cannot just simply do whatever they feel like it whatever sounds good in uh in in their uh in your own eyes because uh when a person starts doing things whatever sounds good to them whatever makes sense to them little by little they will be destroying the tah and this is actually one of the things that's happening in the uh in the secular world today where people think that they're doing good for the sake of society even if sometimes they're religious by saying listen you know we believe in God but everybody else has a right to do whatever they want like there's this one uh one Rabbi who is well known in is uh who uh uh published and sold a million copies of a book which is an extraordinary uh uh achievement but unfortunately uh it was better off that he never even studied T why because apparently at some point his mind went crazy and he started telling people that uh it's okay for the reform to be given a spot at the cotel it's okay to accept all Jews as they are even if they're enemies of Hashem even if they're enemies of God now this person thinks that he's doing a good thing but in reality some of the are coming out against him uh saying that this person might as well just throw away his keeper throw away his keeping unfortunately he's not the only one there are many people that call themselves religious zionists or modern Orthodox or all types of other uh uh uh names that uh thinking that listen we could be uh uh one nation under God even if they don't believe in God and it's the most ridiculous notion in the world why because you think that you're doing something good by being united with another Jew and in essence enabling them to continue destroying their life destroying their children's life destroying the Jewish people destroying Society you think that you accepting them as they are and in essence even supporting them for the way they behave you think that that's actually a good thing you think that's actually even a Mitzvah like many people think oh why do you uh uh talk about uh people that uh uh desecrate Shabbat so so harshly you know you should love all Jews they don't realize T says that to not rebuke is actually uh the worst thing you can do that's actually hating them that's an evil act it's considered an evil act not not to rebuke when you're rebuking your fellow Jew for doing something wrong you're doing kindness by that person but unfortunately many people have what's called aash it's it's a uh a uh a head that that's uh unfortunately uh upside down let's just say and um and they believe that they are more merciful than God they believe that they're more kind their God they believe that they know better so what do they want to do they want to let everybody live the way they want to live and unfortunately many times these are the people that are behind some of the worst things that are happening in society and uh thinking that this is going to help so for example some of the things that are happening right now in is is that they're pushing that there is going to be uh to Simply remove all power from the raban they no longer want the Orthodox Jews to be heads of the raban in fact they want a uh a person that is not even religious to be the head of the religious uh uh section of of the government it's it's it's the most absurd thing in the world they do not want to have the raban have any power in the world in fact they want a bunch of of non-religious Jews secular Jews choose who's going to be the danan in every location no longer is this going to be under the uh control of the raban they want uh Kut simply to be determined by uh you know by the people that are clueless about Kut allow everything and anything no problem they want conversions to be allowed for everybody whether it's a reform conversion a uh conservative conversion a uh Orthodox conversion they want everybody to be converted without any test without any verification without anything just all types conversions they want you to be able to marry anything you want to marry a man marry a man a man marry a dog you want to marry a cat you want to marry a moose you want to marry your computer perhaps you want to marry a cup whatever you want to marry they want to allow it over there now here in essence all of these different so-called decrees the the uh uh marriage conversion uh Kash uh the raban in essence this is the secular people uh declaring war on the Torah declaring war on the religious people at least that's what it is in their mind Unfortunately they have some religious people that are supporting them in the name of unity so-called Unity uh now anyone that understands just what's really uh what how the world really operates really realizes within a moment that that all they're doing is declaring a war against thems the secular people are declaring a war against themselves with all of these decrees that they want to pass to weaken the ran to in essence uh make a kosher not kosher to allow anybody to convert and to allow anybody to marry whatever they want all of these things are only going to hurt the non-religious people it's not going to affect the religious Jews at all I don't know why there are religious Jews that are worried about this as far as as if it's going to hurt us it's not going to hurt us at all it's only going to hurt the non-religious Jews now of course it hurts us because we want the best for our brothers even if they're not religious because we want them to do Chua but as far as impacting the religious community won't impact us at all why first and foremost as far as the uh uh having anybody marry anybody you want to marry a cat you want to marry a dog you want to marry your wallet you want to marry a wall you want to marry a Pokemon go ahead how is that going to affect Orthodox Jews we marry each other you're never going to see a religious Orthodox Jew marrying some uh some Pikachu we don't do that why because Torah tells us man marries woman woman marries man if you marry anything other than that you're simply not an orthodox Jew so this whole issue of you know allowing everybody to marry anybody doesn't affect the religious Jews at all K and simply uh uh shutting down the raban the K of the raban that doesn't affect religious people either why religious people in they don't eat they don't eat they have higher stringencies on their which they eat something that's even higher level than than the r Kash so the r you could throw in the garbage tomorrow won't affect a single religious Jew won't affect them we just eat the food that we make we we eat the the Kash that we we we uh we uh keep anyway we observe anyway doesn't affect us at all uh as far as conversion religious people don't convert This only affects a secular people when they meet a non-jew and they want to stay together and uh as a result of one person doing Chua the other person uh uh also wants to do chuba they want to convert and so on and so forth like my own personal story listen if I was a Orthodox Jew I would have never met my wife in a first first place it wouldn't affected it wouldn't have affected me if I was a Orthodox from Jew like I am today wouldn't have affected me but you see they want to Simply destroy the conversion world who are you destroying it for for the religious Jews it doesn't affect them the if somebody wants to go from satare to breast live they don't have to go and convert if someone wants to go from kabad to being a student of they don't have to convert there's no conversion conversion only happens if a non-jew wants to become a Jew that is usually something that only pertain affects the secular World why because religious Jews don't go and date non-religious Jews if anyone is dating a n a religious Jews don't date uh non-jews if any Jew is dating a non-jew they're not religious simply so this whole thing about conversion this whole thing about ran this whole thing about K this whole thing about marriage it only affects it only affects the secular people and they don't realize that they're shooting themselves in the foot and this is in essence what a is telling us here that he's telling us don't do any of these things because you're going to have a very very difficult life so much so that you're going to be living a cursed life without even realizing it because you never saw a blessed life so you're going to be living a cursed life a cursed life and this is what ends up happening when a person does whatever they feel is right in the same repeats multiple times multiple times the Tora says here in this week's par do what is good and right in the eyes of God do what is right in the eyes of God multiple times no less than three or four times it's mentioned in his par that right good is only determined by God himself you as a human being cannot determine good or bad if you do not have what's called T the opinion of a Tor which in essence means the opinion of hem you do not have the capability the ability the knowhow to determine good or bad simple and what happens is is that many people that have never learned a single page of gar never completed anything that's of of of significance in the Tor are determining what's good and bad for society and destroying it in the process unfortunately this is happening both in the religious world and non-religious world and it's not a new thing it's not a new thing the same thing happened in this Paras where it says all of these people doing you know determining what's good and what's bad without the tah is going to lead them astray how astray far far away from God like as far as what what was described at the beginning of the par which is idolatry in AAP chapter 13 it talks about says if there should stand in your midst a prophet or a dreamer of a dream and he will produce to you a sign or a wonder and the sign and the Wonder comes about which he spoke to you about saying let us follow gods of others that you did not know and we shall worship them says someone's going to come to you perhaps his name is going to be Muhammad maybe it's going to be uh Mary Magdalene or or Jesus of Nazareth or Buddha one of these people they're going to make some type of of uh Supernatural thing they're going to make some magic they're going to tell you something's going to happen and it actually happens let's say it happens let's say they made some magic trick and it happens okay but after they did that they told you listen Shabbat is no longer on Saturday it's on Sunday kosher you don't have to keep it anymore the God is three it's not one and all this mumbo jumbo tells you listen the Torah it's not the uh you know it's not the end we have a new testament we have a continuation we have a Quran that says you know that only your actions of thinking that you know what's good and what's bad is what led you to this point and now your only way out of this is to kill those people that you created to kill those people to destroy this idolatry from the world and that's what they did with Jesus of Nazareth that's what they did with the false prophets of the past that's what Eli Elijah the prophet did with over 400 prophets but only after it caused an enormous amount of damage to is where torat tells us do not hearken to the words of that Prophet or to that dreamer of a dream for hem your God is testing you to know whether you love hm your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul Hashem your God you shall shall you follow and him shall you fear his Commandments shall You observe and his voice shall you heren him shall you serve and him shall you cleave to and that prophet and that dreamer of a dream shall be put to death for he had spoken perversion against theem your God who takes you you out of the land of Egypt and who redeems you from the house of slavery and makes you uh to make you Stray From the Path on which Hashem your God has commanded you to go and you shall destroy the evil from your midst now it continues says what about if my son is the one that wanted to bring me to idolatry if my uh you know my mother wanted to bring me to idolatry what do I do with them the next thing says those people that brought you even if it's your son even if it's your friend even if it's your mother whoever it is you shall surely kill him your hand shall be the one that first kills him with stoning of course we don't kill anybody today because we don't have a son but the point here being is that when someone is brings a Jew to idolatry to to to serving something other than hasem whether that is money desires women uh some type of statue whatever it is this is a punishable this is a death penalty type of act this is a horrible horrific act but the reality is how do we get to this point how do we go from being a from Jew to being an idol worshiper how do we get to a point where our grandfathers were all from Jews our great grandfathers where some of them were big rabbis great great grandfathers practically every Jew's great great grandfather or the one before is one of the do is one of the biggest rabbis in the world everybody's connected to a major Giant in the previous generation but yet today they could be driving on Shabbat eating pork on yum Kip how could that be it started simply with people thinking that they have a softer heart than Hashem they have more Mercy than Hashem they have a better idea than Hashem they have more logic than the Torah they have more uh understanding than the big they have better Clarity of what the truth is even if that truth goes against the tah and this is how people have destroyed themselves and their families and their descendants and their eternities and their life and everything they never destroy the Tora the toora is never being destroyed don't let anyone ever fool you in thinking that toora is ever going to be destroyed or that even the Jewish people will ever be destroyed promised us T is eternal is eternal why made them all one with him so although we go up and down as a people Good Times bad times some people live some people die some people get punished some people get rewarded and so on and so forth none of this secularism stupidity uh uh heresy is ever going to destroy the Jewish people or the tah but it will destroy or build those that go against it or those that go and and and uh and and follow it and in the process you see your friends your family your neighbors choose life or death but not just the simple meaning of life or death but rather a life full of life or a life full of death and this is one of the greatest things that you can learn today before you make big decisions to listen to people that are trying to to pull you away from Hashem pull you away from Hashem with their dishonest dealings with their dishonest words with with all types of things that are foreign to our Torah anyone that tells you that you are allowed to be dishonest in business that you are allowed to cheat or lie that you're allowed to desecrate Shabbat that you're allowed to do in essence violate the toraat in any way shape or form even the smallest the smallest Mitzvah out there is simply a person that's no different than Jesus of Nazareth many people say listen okay fine I have some sins but it says that if you uh uh do Chua from love then uh you know hem turns all of your sins into MIT do you guys even understand what Chua from Love is do you know what Chua from Love is the says a person has to be willing able and ready to give up all of his possessions all of his money not some of his money all of his money everything he has his entire stock portfolio Bitcoin house uh Investments everything he has literally become homeless in order to avoid a single sin one single thing he's he's willing to give all of his money instead of making that sin and he says that's not even loving hasm that's just basic that's just basic that is just basic today you have people barely you could convince them to donate $100 to poor people and they think that they did cha from love people have no concept of what loving Hashem is no concept they love themselves so much they are so addicted to their own desires they don't even know what loving God even means but they live this delusion that somebody planted into their head that you could just easily fix a life full of wrongs just like that it's not easy it's not impossible but it's not so easy a person needs to understand living a life of Torah is living a life of blessing even if that blessing is full of difficulties and and and full of uh hurdles don't think for a moment that if you were going against theem you wouldn't have a worse life for sure your life would be worse if you weren't doing chuva for sure 100 million per. no but what do you mean when I was secular I used to be rich so what you think that because you did Chua hasem is punishing you you think that Hashem took your money or took uh your job because you did chuat that's that's what kind of God you're serving right now person understand that whatever decree they have in their hand that was what decided one way or the other it's just that the difference is in the past it would have been simply an outright result of your actions and a punishment that wouldn't work wouldn't help you in any way but today now that you're doing chah if you have any difficulty that difficulty is to pay for past sins it's to clean you up in order to make sure that the blessings comes bigger and sooner and these are some of the things that people simply fail to understand because they're too busy looking at the people out there are pretending to be successful pretending to do well pretending as if the world is better off without God Shalom is better off without tah and the reality is all they're doing the people that are living without hem or the people that are even looking at them while living with hem but they're still looking at them in admiration is simply shooting themselves in the foot you watching Netflix you watching television you watching shows on the internet and admiration of the secular people is simply shooting yourself in the foot it's simply killing yourself you're it's like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die it doesn't make any sense says in our Tor you have a life of blessings and curses blessings and curses you live with the Torah your life is full of blessings everything that you do is going to be a blessing even a difficulty is a blessing even a difficulty is a blessing you live a life that's against the T everything you do is a curse everything is going to be a nightmare the joy that you have you'll get punished for it the suffering you have won't pay for anything it's so horrible some of the sages from the we talking about 900 years ago sages that we based on say that a person that has not done even as don't count they don't get reward for any mitvah the words of the sages are scary they're pet tery people think oh listen he doesn't keep shab but he gave some that's going to help him right According to some sages no it's actually not going to help him in fact he'll get punished even for his it's it's when when says in this blessing or curses that's what it means when you are doing Chua everything turns into a blessing everything you live a life full of Hashem everything is a blessing the good is a blessing km that you see a religious Jew succeeding doing good things see a religious Jew suffering it's an opportunity for the community to help him it's an opportunity for everybody to do it's an opportunity for everybody to uh get rid of some of their own extra wool so we could uh fix ourselves you see a Jew suffering you're the one that's suffering it's paying a bill of something that you did in the past it's a blessing but you see a Jew you see a Jew that is a uh that is going against hasem everything is a curse everything is a curse everything in their life if they're suffering in life somebody broke their heart somebody broke their face somebody broke their windshield somebody stole from them that's a punishment and it's not going to pay for anything why because they're continuing to make more and more sense all of that money was either stolen or misappropriated or illegally acquired or whatever it is all of their uh uh uh uh Beauty they're misusing all of their uh the the good things that hasm gave them all the blessings they're misusing so when Hashem takes away it's not going to take away their their punishment they're still going to get punished for all the crimes what about when they're enjoying life what about when they're going in a uh and they're getting uh Standing Ovation for performing an Abomination what about when they're going on vacation and S swimming in the middle of the ocean and having a good time what about that they will be punished for that Joy too meaning everything turns into into a curse everything turns into a curse this is in essence the reason why when that was glued to hem would hear they would announce at the synagogue that it's officially some of the people in the Community hearing this would pass out from the fear and trepidation that we are a month away from Judgment Day for the entire world for the entire people for for the entire creation we are a month away from judgment why it's not enough time to fix all my mistakes most people don't even realize there's anything wrong with them needless to say fix in the previous generation or even to this day there are people that understand that as much as they know and as much good as they do they still have a lot to fix how do you know you're still in this world if you were perfect will make you like make you into an angel you wouldn't be in this world if you were so perfect but nonetheless a person that is in this world and hears elul nothing happens not even scared all they think about oh do I have to wake up early now ah really is it not oblation Rabbi or is it a custom do I have to do it or it's like okay if I don't go can I just do it at 5:00 in my community 5:00 p.m. my community is that okay everybody already starts thinking about oh you know what I like the songs people forget the whole point of elul is to prepare for Judgment Day prepare for Judgment Day they have no concept of Judgment Day why because they're just simply living their life this is just another season it's another thing to do they don't realize that they have extra fat that they have to shed and that this is the opportunity the says the is going to save a person from Death the is going to save a person from suffering but a person doesn't realize that what does he like what is he like says imagine that there are two sheeps and they both W to cross the uh River one of them already shed already was uh was all of the wool was taken off of him so as soon as he goes into the water he goes through it with no problem no problem wave comes just lowers his head and just continues to go no problem the other one didn't want take off his wool why he likes his wool likes it he worked hard for that wool he says I'm going to meet up with you okay come and Wai for you on the other side he jumps into the river and he sees everything looks good W it's nice weather out there everything's good all of a sudden a big wave comes and that wave that wave that wave catches on his wool his wool is soaked and it takes him and his wool all the way P off the cliff say this is the difference between somebody that gave with generosity and someone that's a Kaman someone that's stingy why someone that gave for the sake of Tora for the sake of helping people do for the sake of helping people eat for the sake of helping gave a blessing but he doesn't need all of it he doesn't need all of it you can ched off some of your uh some of your wool you don't it's going to grow back you can make it back you don't have to keep everything in some big bank account some Bitcoin you could shed some of it you can give 10 20% of your money every time you make to for the sake of Tora he understood he says you're right I don't need this extra wool and when judgment did day came and the and the wave came he was clean nothing was holding him back oh this guy's clean he gave the other guy says listen what do you want staka okay I'll give you $100 what do you mean give me $100 you made $150,000 this year you give a $100 taka listen Rabbi I'm you know I'm waiting what are you waiting for waiting for yum waiting for y what do you mean you waiting for y no in yum Kip I want to buy an Aliah in in a big miss it wait so first of all you're assuming you're going to live till y second of all you're assuming that the buying an Aliyah in theet is more important than to save somebody's life today with giving them some some t with publicizing t today and so you're not really understanding what the point of the mitvah is it seems to me correct me from wrong but you're actually not looking to do a mitvah with your you're looking to just do some marketing to tell people that you can buy a bunch of money in order to go up into the podium and uh get blessing or something like that that's that's what it really seems like you're gonna instead of giving money now for to for an opportunity of to now you're waiting for y you're waiting for so then you're going to give 15 20 30 40 $50,000 now you're only willing to give $100 that's that that's the logic in many cases that's the logic in many case that's the logic so he shows up to with the wool still on him and the and the wave Comes The Wave comes the Judgment comes to everybody on Yip the Judgment comes the Judgment comes to everybody in and a judgment sees are you still have all that wool on you wof and unfortunately this is what happens when people misunderstand the point of the point of T they think that they know better you don't know better that's what knows better that's what knows better and many times people think that they have D just because you know how to speak doesn't mean you know D just because you read some books doesn't know mean you have D in fact the most people most people that only watch and do not know how to read Po and have not become serious cannot even attain anytime in the near future they could hear it and believe it and follow it but to to to Simply have it naturally never happening why that is not something you buy in a Telly you're not going to get d by simply watching uh uh uh clips on YouTube it's never going to happen you could understand you could follow it even but to have it naturally never going to happen but unfortunately many people don't understand what that is they think that just because they remember a couple of good stories and uh they uh know how to say they think that they know what the Torah is and unfortunately many times they end up making some of the biggest mistakes that end up hurting themselves end up hurting themselves and it's a is not that you made Hashem less is that you made Hashem look like it's less than he is he's never less he's never less hm never hurt but desecrating hm's name is making hasem look like he's less making a Torah look like it's less in essence all you did is hurt yourself tells us you live glued to GL you're going to be living a life of blessing you glue yourself to your own opinion to your own logic you think that you know better than Hashem your whole life it's simply a cursed life from beginning to end and we're not even talking about what happens after the end we're simply talking about this life every single one of these people that you see today that is going against the Torah either publicly privately every single one of them no exception you'll see wait and see I promise you you'll see how all of their glamour all of their winning all of their Glory you'll see it's just a matter of time where each one of them gets to a point where there's so many curses in their life their life falls apart that unorthodox show you'll see each one of those people that are there if they don't do Chua you'll see how their life literally turn turns into the biggest embarrassment in the history of the of of you'll see how these people literally want to put themselves in a situation where I wouldn't be surpris if you start seeing multiple suicides that's how bad it's going to be why there's no more time this is the last train this is the last train this generation is the last train there's no more time for people to play around and you see it in the world and Promises us you live with the T your life is going to be full of blessings the blessings that are clear they're enjoyable are blessings the difficulties are still going to be blessings a person doesn't a person goes against a person thinks they know better than the better than better than thinks that they know what uh what uh what Hashem says even if they never even read uh what Hashem said these people simply they they're they're a living curse and it's a very very sad very sad uh conclusion that they'll end up arriving to sometimes that conclusion comes very fast it doesn't have to wait Seven Years everybody assumes they're going to live to an old age and they're going to have all the time in the world to uh to do chva to change their ways Hashem doesn't wait for anybody doesn't wait for anybody everybody has a clock already predetermined predetermined before they come to this world he's not waiting for anybody he simply knows you have this amount of time this amount of time you do it good you don't do it the end that's one of the things that a person needs to understand if you take K seriously your life is the best in the world it's the best in the world there there's simply no better life in the No Better Life there is no better life than living with a at all times but don't live an illusion that you think that you're living with but in reality you can't find any friends you can't find anyone not friends like you know to go watch a movie with friends meaning no one in the Tor World agrees with you you're the only one that agrees with yourself even in the you have to find a friend they were able to resurrect the dead they couldn't rely on their own opinion they had to find another Sage that agrees with them that has a source that uh heard it from another they can't just create out of thin air every everything has to have a m to the source which means you have other friends you have other people that are of the same it's not uh you unique by yourself like unfortunately some people out there uh like you have in the uh in in the world today both rabinal and uh government and secular world so this will give us a little bit more of a uh uh to get a little stronger with our our eles get a little bit more serious ourselves prepare for aul that's coming and just literally a matter of days it's beginning uh start really uh taking things even higher even more serious start uh really putting our heads down to uh and getting things getting things done you know

don't apologize on text message uh hey uh such and such listen I uh destroyed your life in front of 15 people but uh you forgive me don't do one of don't don't that's not that's not a uh apology as much as the crime has to be the Chua has to be the Chua and this is each person has to do has to do everybody has to check what they did right and what they did wrong now not on not on now now they have to do it and start fixing start fixing start fixing this will be a little bit of a uh boost for each one of us to start fixing everyone we're about to start a new week a new week of Wars not only
