so Hashem tells us that if you look for me you'll find me in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 4 he says if you look for me you'll find me if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul if someone really is looking for the truth a is going to make sure you find it but you can't look for it like you look for a second pair of keys you look five minutes you didn't find no C just use the first one he said if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul if you're really looking for the truth you'll find me he says but he also says in the Torah that when we don't look for him if you treat him with casualness you like he's one of your friends from the bar you call him not Call Him worship Him not worship him listen to him not listen to him like could do do whatever you want then we get punished twice one for not doing and one for treating him like he's one of our friends this is both in so never think that I'm making up anything that I'm telling you I bring all these books to every lecture because number one I really don't know what I'm going to say before the lecture so I'm hoping the books are going to give me some and number two usually people have questions and say oh really where's that written so I can give him book and show them look don't think that I that I said it God said it it's written in a book I I wasn't hasem didn't ask me for permission before he wrote these books books so when I treated Hashem with casualness and I said that the business world was a dominating force in my life eventually the time came for Hashem to come to me and wake me up and a wake up it was s years of fighting for my life both healthwise Financial wise and everything else in between the CDs behind you this CD number one and CD number two from Wall Street to the Western Wall tell the story on CD number two it's the first track it's a a very popular lecture very motivating to a lot of people but also has a lot of M and a lot of lessons we could all apply to our life whether it's somebody fighting a Health Battle somebody having problems witha somebody having problems with financial issues somebody into married it applies so many different ways because put us to a nice special customized G in this world that we were able to experience many nice things but eventually had mercy on us and he woke us up and we saw the truth and you see us today so once I saw the truth everything became meaningless and that's the one thing that's the one thing that people have a hard time understanding when they asked me wait a minute you were making so much money on Wall Street you were doing this you were doing that that why don't you stay on Wall Street okay be religious keep Shabbat keep mitv but go back to making You2 $300,000 a month what are you going what do you have to give lectures for free for and live off why there's two reasons first reason is when you really see the truth for exactly what it is you see aem's t for exactly what it is at least at my level that is not very high but for where I stand from my perspective everything is meaningless all the money in the world is meaningless all the desires in the world are meaningless everything is meaningless yes you still have to eat you still have to drink you still have to live in this world but the world that I lived in the financial world the stock market the CNBC the Bloomberg the fame the fortune all that stuff became officially meaningless overnight because so it's material okay so one going to invest another 70 years in his money in his and the employees and the friends and the you know enemies and the politics and all this stuff for what I can't take any of it eventually you go everybody every one of us is going to become dust the worms are going to eat us the maggots are going to take whatever is left the real us the goes to the real world you can't take the money with you can't take the car with you you can't take the apartment on a 35th floor for $3.5 million with you you can't stays here so I figured what am I going to invest in this stuff that I can't take with me so it became meaningless second reason is that each one of us has a gift hem gave me a gift of God he gave me the ability to speak and think a little bit differently and I also like to argue so these are a good combination for giving lectures so I the way I looked at it and my ra told me this as well both rim and from Jerusalem and ra which I'm sure many of you knowem needs more Jews businessmen he has plenty this doesn't mean that businessmen are bad we need businessmen to fund all of this but we don't have enough people telling the truth so I threw my hat into the equation and I hope that gives me to help people do in the last couple years hundreds of people have been doing CH converting doing all types of things people that came to me atheist had Orthodox weddings eight months later with with no no nothing no like 100% like a f person you would think this person is from from birth other people converting other people becoming much more religious one guy wanted to force his wife to have an abortion a few months later he's fulltime in a full time in a has nothing to do with me though it's not me don't think it's me don't give me the credit so this T you read it you do the same thing same Torah just that no one threes the whole Torah you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
