Is Divine Punishment Good or Evil? - Bitachon B’HaShem (10)

[Music] great to see everyone we're back in Sunny Isles we have a our Sunday beton series we're at number 10 uh for anyone who doesn't have one of these bet booklets please go to mik she'll give you one of the booklets uh it's easy to follow along um it's also good for you to read I don't know maybe a thousand 2,000 times but theem put it into you get it into your blood system we understand what it means to live a life like a Jew not a live live life like a religious Jew live life like a Jew because in the Torah you're never going to find any time that it's mentions religious Jews doesn't mention religious doesn't me mention Orthodox conservative reform doesn't me mention things like that it just mentions Jews simply because in the times of the Tor there wasn't many options like we have today there wasn't as much confusion as we have today if you kept the mitv you were a Jew if you didn't you would considered a today we have so many confusions so many different terms that people uh can go throughout their entire life without really knowing what it means to be a Jew even if they themselves are religious the goal of our shim is to get closer and closer to where wants us and this series of that we started about three months ago has definitely helped more people than uh I think probably any other series did at least within the first 10 lectures because this is the stuff that you have to deal with every day this is the day-to-day stuff this is the stuff that's going to get you going through difficulties anybody here have difficulties in their life ever how about to rephrase the question anybody here never have difficulties in their life maybe if you're like eight years old you don't remember what happened when you were three or four the reality is everybody has difficulties now Torah tells us that all of these difficulties come from Hashem all of them question is why why do they come so part of the reason of why we're having the series is to truly understand what a does to run the world in order to get our attention I'll give you a couple of real life stories tonight that will give you an understanding of what it means to be a Jew in the eyes of hem in the eyes of us sometimes we don't really value it sometimes you ask a guy if he's Jewish and he's almost SS says it regretfully yeah yeah yeah my parents yeah you know he's not really sure what it means maybe it's a good thing maybe it's a bad thing but the reality is is that if a person truly understood what it means to be a Jew and what aosh is willing to do for one he danc around in the streets without being high without being drunk he just simply Dan around in the streets because of how lucky he is and how lucky she is now the uh sh tonight will uh be for a for my dear father who's in the hospital right now miraculously has so much Mercy on us that even when he had a blood clot in his brain about a week ago let it stay silent for almost a week before he decided that he needs to go to the hospital so he decided to go to the hospital uh and uh they said yeah you have a blood clot and um it's very dangerous you're walking time bomb who walks around with a blood clot in their brain for a week without Hashem running the world we can't survive walking down the street without hasem running the world so he's in the hospital he's a uh stable but he has to be there for a few days no one anyone that's ever visited the hospital whether as a patient or as a visitor knows it's not a fun place to be even if you're a doctor so she has to be there for a few days but uh when you know that it's a running the world there's really nothing to worry about he does what he wants anyway and he already showed us that he has so much Mercy it's a extraordinary also for and also toan and all of will have so the weekly anyone that watched or listened to the sh last week I highly recommended for all of you guys to take a little bit of time and read the this is one of the few that doesn't miss any words doesn't mess around go straight to the point tells you plain and simple what expects from us and the consequences of what if we don't listen now a lot of people are going to tell you yeah we listen I listen I read the par I saw some things in there I didn't really like but there's plenty of people that drive on Shabbat even though says Don't drive on Shabbat there's plenty of people that steal even though hasem said don't steal there's plenty of people that uh are intermarried with non-jews Jews with non-jews hasem said no but they do it there's plenty of people that are pedophiles and rapists and evil outright terrible people plenty of them sometimes they even have a hat and a beard and they look like rabbis sometimes there plenty of those people and said no so what does that mean it's confusing how come there's a rabbi right now in is that we're getting the final approval to destroy his life how come because this so-called rabbi decided that it's a good thing to do to take advantage of little boys because they can't defend themselves so we're getting our final approval to make sure that no one ever walks within five feet of this rash because people like that they don't deserve to be treated like humans but our tells us that even to treat we have rules even require rules so how come people like him exist because gave us he gave us the free choice he gave us a choice to do whatever it is that we decide to do but he told us that you have consequences if you fulfill my Commandments If You observe them if you walk with them meaning wherever you go not just when you're at home and you're close to the Sho or and you're in youra and you wear Keeper in Yesa but as soon as you leave you take off the keep put it in your pocket you ever see sometimes people go to Bess they put a keeper on but they leave the B they put the keep off or sometimes you see women the whole year she wears a scarf in her head but if she has a wedding she puts a wig on how come what God is not over he here if you're going to do something do it the whole time it's much worse to change it's much worse to change if you're gonna do something if you're gon to do a Mitzvah do the whole thing do the whole way from Al you're going to wear wig wear a wig all the time you wear wear all the time you wear keeper wear keep all the time don't pretend like God is over here but he's not over there why God doesn't like that he doesn't like that he says I'm over here I'm over there I'm everywhere it's very very important for a Jew to know that a pays attention to everything much more than we could imagine so much so that schl tells us that every single thing that you do in every single conversation that you will ever have writes in a book he writes in a book and he's going to show you the book when you get up to Sham he's going to tell you how come you did this over here how come the whole year five years in a row you were a keeper but as soon as your long lost friend from high school came all of a sudden you went to meet him for coffee and he said you know what let's just go to this non kosher Cafe he didn't really care if it's kosher or non kosher and you said okay because you didn't want you were embarrassed that you became a b cha you embarrassed you keeping me because he knows you as a non Chua he knows you as like him and you said yes and you went to a non- kosher restaurant how come you did this what you decided that maybe if you're G to take a break I'm GNA take a break a person needs to know that a is paying attention to all of these things big and small and the reason why is because if he monitors every one of his actions as if Hashem is watching if she monitors every one of her actions as if Hashem is watching already 95% of your sins simply never happen why because you know hasem is watching but also your confidence in life whatever it is that you want to achieve also changes drastically all of a sudden you don't have so much worries like everybody else does you're not so worried whether you're going to find a bride you're not so worried whether you're going to find you're not so worried that you're going to have money to pay for such things that a why because you know that runs the world a lot of people have a worry that they don't want to have more kids they have one two kids and then they stop and you ask them how come you don't have any more kids you're still young you're still in your 20s 30s how come you don't have any more kids like ah listen we don't have the par for it yeah but you know that hasem says bring kids to the world yeah hasem said bring kids to the world but he also said that uh we need money for this world so I don't have the money to have the kid so what are you telling me that you believe in God but at the same time believe that God said go fulfill a mitvah bring a kid to the world so I could starve him to death what kind of God is this that sounds like Isis doesn't sound like God so a person needs to have means confidence in hasem confidence in hasem that he's running the world that he's monitoring your behavior that he cares about everything that you do he wants you to live life and enjoy it he wants you to be happy but he wants you to do all of it in a Kosher Way by the way you guys could I don't bite I promise I ate already before I got here you could sit over here I if I'm hungry then maybe I bite but you guys can sit in the front too also so the key is a person needs to know that a kadh is watching if a person knows that aadh is watching all of a sudden all of the worries that he could Poss possibly have simply go away now I'm telling you if 5 10 years ago you would have told me that my father my dear father is in a hospital right now guess what there's no sh why my father is more important to me than anybody else I'm going to go to the hospital sit by him as if I could do something about it that's what people do people sit by the hospital so how you doing good same thing as we doing five minutes ago okay so how you doing same think I was there five minutes ago 5,000 times they asked the patient how you doing I remember I was a patient many times I hate it when people come to visit me I hated it why 5,000 times they're there for an hour 5,000 times they ask me how are you doing what do you mean how I'm doing I have more Fe on this arm this one in that arm I'm not doing good I'm here if I was doing good I'd be home but they ask you how you doing how you doing how you doing how you doing if a person does not have he spends all day in the hospital why because he wants to know how you doing but if a person has be has confidence in hm he knows theem has got to taken care of and there's something that's much more valuable to be done in the world and that's learn tah learn T why because that learning tah could give all of us we all get closer to Hashem and if it's in his Merit also guess what hem has even more of a reason to cure him faster that's a mind that thinks what does AEM want why is he doing what is he doing what is he doing it is punishment or bad or sometimes good now let me ask you a question I don't know this generation is a little weird so I have to ask questions because I know in my generation this wouldn't be a question do any of you have like anybody any of you here ever get a slap from one of your parents when you were anybody here because I know in my generation it was normal my when I was a little kid if I did something wrong there was a shoe thrown at me like a boomerang what happened where did it go where did it go just she's in next door she's in the next next door but she knew somehow that we did something wrong and a shoe hit me in the head somehow my mom's aim I I'm telling you she should have gone to the Olympics but in this generation you yell at kids sometimes they call the cops so I'm not so I have to ask you the question B I have to ask you guys you guys are all teenagers or a little older any of you ever get slapped from your parents once one says yes two says yes three okay so the rest of you okay you got slapped for now let me is you did you think that when your mom slapped you or your dad slapped you I'm sure it wasn't fun it wasn't pleasant you don't you have a a good memory of it but between us I won't tell her I promise between unless you watch the lecture then it's you're done between us did she do it because she doesn't like you did she do it because she wants to hurt you or did she do it because she's trying to save you from something much worse than the pain of The Slap all of you are nodding to the second part I I agree with you see if she's your mom or it's your dad that means that naturally they love you much more your mom than your dad your dad sometimes still still thinks you're a stranger because you're annoying sometimes when you're a kid but your mom I I bet listen your mom will always love you and the reason why is because for nine months of your life and her life you were a body part you weren't something strange like people have babies they have babies but then a month two months into it they decide they don't want to do it so they kill the baby what the baby do that you don't want to do it you decide to have a baby now you want to kill it no no it's not a baby then what is it it's a piece of meat okay so take a camera look at it it's not a piece of meat it has arms it has legs it has a mouth it speaks and has a heartbeat if the baby was outside and you did the same thing you'd go to jail for 25 30 years but they think that just because they can't see it that means it's not a baby abortion is 100% murder as soon as there's a heartbeat it is 100% a human being no different than you and I the fact that it speaks a language you and I don't understand is our problem not the baby's problem now this little baby that was all of us at some point no exceptions was not considered even a baby to the mom what was it it was a body part just like she has an arm and anytime something hurts on the arm you don't say oh you know I hate my body no you say my arm hurts why it's part of the whole body anytime something goes wrong if a woman it doesn't feel good she's pregnant she feels oh something's the the baby is part of the body you are a body part when you came out it was as if she was saying like a little bit like of a lost of a a separation between her and her body ask your mom about this you get married you have kids your wife will give you some details that maybe your mom feels uncomfortable doing but I promise you that this mom your mom as much as sometimes she may say things do things that you don't like that she doesn't like and so on and so forth no matter what if she's normal if she's chemically balanced I mean some people are not you know some people they're gone but I'm talking if she's normal she's a normal human being she's not chemically unbalanced she's not high she's normal person most of normal sometimes they're not going on the day sometimes they don't keep all the but relatively normal mentally with or without your consent with or without your affection with or without your reciprocation of love she has to love you why you are a body part to her your father on the other hand you're not necessarily a body part and if you say something wrong you're get two slaps not one same price but your mom will always look at you as a body part your mom will always love you in such a way that doesn't make any sense you can never love your mom as much as she loves you never why because you are her body part she wasn't your body part she was like your uh oven she baked you up for nine months and the reality is if that little baby grows up one day and he's two and three and four and five and six and one day he does something wrong one day she does something wrong so wrong wrong that it's dangerous the little kid doesn't really know right or wrong he decides he wants to just try out just for test just for test he wants to see what does it feel like to put your hand inside a fire what does it feel like he doesn't know that it doesn't feel so good so he wants to put the hand Inside the Fire now if he's far away and she already knows she's going to catch him but if he's right there if he's right there about to put his hand Into the Fire into the electric unit guess what she's going to grab him or her in a very very very hard way and it may even hurt him but if any if he insists because he just really likes the way the fire looks like he really likes the way that socket looks like it just fits perfectly his finger guess what she may give him a slap he's going to remember when he's 25 now the only reason she did it is not because she wants to hurt him the only reason she did it is because she's trying to save him from himself because she knows that if she doesn't hurt him it will be too late to save him it'll be too difficult to save him it will be lost so anyone that reads the and listens to our shim that talk about punishment almost every time don't be discouraged don't Shalom think that punishment is evil that's that's heresy punishment is not evil if it's coming from Hashem if it's coming from your mom if it's coming from your dad if it's coming from somebody that loves you punishment is not always evil in fact punishment is the ultimate Mercy Mery as painful as it is punishment can be the ultimate way that a gives us mercy and all of those people that perhaps the other that you've gone to in your life that say the opposite that contradict this that say no Hashem always loves hem always loves don't talk about punishment to us everything is good and Hashem always loves guess what that type of Torah not only is it not Torah that's evil why is it evil because that leaves the vast majority of a person's life unexplained that leaves the vast majority of am's History unexplained if everything is always good and Hashem always loves how can you explain cancer in a loving way the guy is getting chemo and the radiation is burning his body go ahead try to find a nice way to explain that one a loving way to explain that one or how about let's go further not individual let's see somebody was very very rich and one day he has no money to eat go go explain that to him this poor guy that lost everything he has he has no money to feed his kids you tell him no no hm always loves Hashem always loves everything is good what everything is good give me food that's good even more go explain the Holocaust that had six million of our brothers and sisters murdered in Cold Blood where you literally had mountains mountains of bodies the most gruesome horrific imagination that you could have is still not enough to imagine what actually happened in the Holocaust and believe me that wasn't even the worst thing that ever happened to if you read the mid of what happened to is at the time of the destruction of the beta mikdash with all due respect to the Holocaust its victims both physically and mentally what happened at the BET mikdash makes what happened in the holocost almost like kindergarten to that extent and if you describe what happened to us in Egypt it's even worse so if God doesn't put anything bad in the world and everything is good that means all of this is unexplained or perhaps the person believes in two gods that there's one God that's good and there's one God that's bad and that's called idolatry so it's very important for a Jew to know that punishment what we view as bad is wrong punishment is actually good it's aem's attempt to save us from something much much worse and that's why in the that I highly recommend for anyone who hasn't read it to please read it in English read it in your first language if English is your first language read in English if uh Russian is your first language read it in Russian whatever language is your first language read it in that language now you're going to read some things you're not going to like but you're also going to read certain things that going to start making sense to you why because you probably heard it somewhere this thing happened somewhere these events happened somewhere maybe you heard it in school maybe you uh Discovery Channel maybe some History Channel you heard some of this stuff that happened in this somewhere along the lines this bad stuff happened to people this bad stuff happened to a people may even happen to you now I could tell you the first time I truly studied the parasha not just read it I studied the parasha was some time ago maybe five six years ago I studied the parha intensely I've read it several times beforehand but I studied the parha intensely because I was studying for sh it's sh number 45 first that I was doing the first 45 44 when I was reading the I started crying why there's a whole paragraph just about me a whole par not one line it's a whole paragraph all types of parag about diseases the whole paragraph saying this happened to me this happened to me this happened to me this happened to me oh this happened to me this happened to me this happened to the whole thing like AEM the whole thing the whole thing give something to some other people to to Isis maybe to to to to the Palestinians to somebody else no give it to me the whole thing gave to me now if you think that punishment is bad all of a sudden you say you know what hashm I don't I don't like you why you did so much bad things to me but then once you start reading why is he doing all of this and you realize that it's protect you from yourself you realize that sometimes you have forced hashem's hand you forced hashem's hand to do something that he doesn't want to do now in the par it says in chapter 26 verse 21 Hashem says if you behave casually with me meaning that things happen in your life and bad things happen and you completely ignore it person gets sick he ignores it person loses money he ignores it has marriage problems he ignores it has health issues he ignores it all types of tests that hasem sends him and he ignores it she ignores it that that's what it means treating Hashem casualness casually meaning that we always rationalize no I only got sick because I didn't wear a jacket I only lost the money because I made bad Investments I only lost the money because it's a bad Market or it's a bad economy I only lost the job because the boss doesn't like me because of anti-Semitism he's a he's a he's a Nazi I only uh I only uh you know got a flat tire because I cut off the guy and I went too fast and I hit the bump you try to rationalize things that are happening to you through nature that's what it means treating AEM casually meaning that instead of saying wait I got a flat tire that means Hashem gave me a flat tire I got sick that means Hashem made me sick I lost some money that means hasem took the money something bad happened that means Hashem did this the question that you should be asking yourself is why why did hasem cause this thing to happen to me not try to explain it with all types of rational things because that question will get you closer to the truth but if a person treats AEM casualness and he refuses to do chuva then I shall lay a further blow upon you seven ways like your sins so the say wait a minute what do you mean seven ways I did one sin you're going to punish me seven times that's not measure for measure measure for measure should be one for one one for one not one seven so the one of the greatest sages that we ever had gives a commentary that's truly unbelievable he says if you notice in the same chapter but on verse number 14 says six different things that you're supposed to do with this he says he says if you will not listen to me and you will not perform the Commandments if you consider my decrees l meaning you hate his MIT somebody says to you so what this uh this holiday it's one day or two days and the Rabbi says it's two days ah no come on two days the whole holiday two days can we just say it's one day cuz like you I'm going to Israel for a week can I just keep it one day over there by the way anyone any person that lives in the Exile which means anywhere outside of Israel even if you go to Israel for a holiday you still have to keep two days the only time you keep only one day for a holiday is if you live in Israel which means that if you're going to visit Israel that's not living that's just visiting so when a person gets a Mitzvah handed to him and he doesn't like it in fact he's annoyed by it his friend says no come on let's go pray a again pray we prayed already in the morning we have to do it again yeah three times a day let's go to Shu ah Shu it's long we'll watch it on YouTube tomorrow meaning you have a Mitzvah opportunity but you don't really like it Hashem says that's not good that's not good you're treating my diamonds like it's FAL matter he says if you consider my decrees lome if you if your being rejects it if you don't perform all of them and you an know my Covenant then I'll do the same to you so hasem says if you violate them six different ways you reject them you hate them you anold them and all so on and so forth I'll do the same thing to you so one of the greatest sages that am is ever had says look at thism says each time each time you reject one of his mitv each time you find one of his mitv disgusting you don't feel like doing it you rather go play basketball instead you rather go watch the movies instead you rather play with your phone instead you got do something instead of one of his mitv this is rejecting his mitv each time he's going to send you some type of difficulty in your life now says each time he's giving you a warning shot please my son come back to me do chuva now if you do chuva after one we good it's as if nothing ever happened but if you don't do the chuva then he has to send you another test another difficulty another flat tire more money lost more problems in the marriage more problems with the kids more problems in life six different times you still didn't get the sign then you get the seventh one what's the seventh one the seventh one is the one that breaks the person now those first six should have made you do chuva had they helped you do chuva guess what that suffering would have been very valuable for you because it would it would have replaced the suffering that a person would get in Sham in heaven well not heaven G that suffering a person gets here replaces suffering over there so had you done CH already after the first second third fourth five six seven time six times then we'd be good then you don't have any account any balance to pay over there but if you didn't do it then guess what even if you did Chua after the seventh one the first six don't count the first the suffering you suffered all this time for the first six times they don't count for anything you simply just suffered for no reason now anyone that truly suffered in their life this is miserable why because at the very least you find out that suffering it's called it's called a as if you brought a sacrifice a replacement of your your suffering replaced your in replacement of your uh of your sins so you think that every time you suffer our sages tell us every time you suffer it's supposed to replace suffering over there but Hashem says no no my friend if the suffering LED you to do chuva then yes you're right then you go straight to heaven but if your suffering is just simply suffering then the says doesn't help you at all up there doesn't help you at all so now that we understand a little bit more more about how hasem delivers his reward in suffering reward in punishment we have to try to understand why does he do all of this why does he do all of this does he get any pleasure out of making somebody suffer absolutely not what is he trying to do this whole time he's trying to get our attention he says son you're going the wrong road you want to marry some non-jewish woman if you marry a non-jewish woman guess what your kids will not be Jewish so now you think what's the big deal what do I need like somebody told me a few days ago this guy from New York he's like listen I tried being religious for 10 years but I don't know it's a too difficult of a lifestyle I found a woman that's a doctor and she's really nice she has a lot of money and she's pretty and uh she she cares about me so what if she's not Jewish if that's what Hashem sent to me that that's what Hashem wants that he rationalize it as if Hashem is doing this not him not his desires but guess what that person if he doesn't do cha in his life the amount of suffering that this person will have is endless and the reason why is this number one one day he's not going to think like this one day he's not going to be 25 35 years old full of desires one day he's going to be 45 years old 55 years old and the desires decrease as you get older ask any old man desires sexual desires decrease as you get get older one day this 25 35 year old doctor is not going to be so attractive like she was when she was 2535 just look at your grandmother and look at her when she was 20 they don't look the same you don't have to be a genius for this you just need to have Vision they're not the same 20 75 not the same so that means that what he's basing his eternity on is on something that's temporary but that temporary decision will decide eternity and one day he's going to have a little kid or two kids or five kids and those kids they're going to be babies in the beginning you're going to make all the choice for them but one day they're going to grow up and they're going to wa make their own choices and then the kid's going to be 13 14 15 years old with an attitude and say uh so uh listen I decided that uh Christianity is for me and the dad even though is the wife is Christian he's not exactly appr proven of Christianity he just thought that it's just between him and the girl but he figured no no I'll raise my kids Jewish and the kid says no no ABA you uh dad you uh you married an N I'm gonna married on what's the difference and all of a sudden the kids want Christmas trees and all of a sudden they want to eat pork for Shabbat and all of a sudden they start bringing all types of Buddha statues into the house and all types of of other things into the house that they don't think anything wrong with it and he starts realizing wow I guess I should have thought about this 15 years ago that's just with the kids then there is life in general where you see that when the physicality is no longer the same you start seeing okay so what else do we have in common other than the fun the fun we had 15 years ago what else do we have in common you start seeing that the Jewish men ality the Jewish ideology the Jewish perception of the world is always going to be different from the rest of the nation even if you're not religious Jews by Nature are always going to be different from non-jews there's no exceptions even if the Jew wants to be a he will always be different from everybody else just look for example and all of the worst Jews that ever lived for example some of the ones that live in this generation they can't stay still like G sometimes they stay still sometimes they're entrepreneurs sometimes they're regular people sometimes they're innovators sometimes they're are just Average Joe's jewes can't be average we always have to cause a scene we have to do something so a Jew can't just accept the fact that he doesn't like Judaism he has to advertise it so he becomes a Public Enemy Number One Of God makes a whole website about atheism or better yet he joins Christianity and starts leading a whole Ministry to convert Jews to Christianity what do you think it's a coincidence that the biggest missionaries in the world are Jews the biggest missionaries Christian missionaries in the world the ones that are around Donald Trump in his cabinet the ones that put Donald Trump in power everybody's a big fan of Donald Trump just so you know he says he loves Jews why does he love Jews because all the Jews that he knows are Heretics I don't have anything against Donald Trump but that's a reality all of the Jews that he knows are Heretics they're missionaries for Christianity why because a Jewish can cannot stay still now if a person starts to think about what happens after this life he starts realizing that maybe just maybe I should think twice before I even take a sip out of a drink without saying a maybe just maybe I should think twice before I bite into this burger that may not be kosher maybe just maybe I should think maybe I should say thank you to hem for giving me food by saying because at some point this life ends for all of us not wishing bad to anybody I'm just telling you that at some point it ends the longer you live the more people you know that died I already know about half about a dozen or so that died just for my high school class it happens they didn't expect to die at 25 35 40 they no one expect to die it just happens Hashem decides time's up finished so now at some point you have to decide what happens then what happens after this life if you think that life ends and that's it then go do whatever you want there's no point to life you're no different than a plant you're no different than a cow lives to be slaughtered or to be milked until it's get slaughtered but if you think that there is an afterlife because that's what the Torah says then now you have to start being concerned what will I do to prepare for this afterlife what's going to be there because some people in this world today they have houses multi-million dollar houses beautiful houses I mean I've seen some houses in my life I mean you see these things it's m unbelievable bathrooms I have a friend old friend still owes me a half a million dollars nice friend he is but anyway this friend who owes me half a million dollars for about 15 years and he's never going to pay it back until hasem forces him to this guy he spent I think somewhere in a neighborhood of $250 to $300,000 on his bathroom on a bathroom a bathroom now just imagine I mean $250,000 if I get put $250,000 in front of you guys everybody say whoa how can I get that that's a lot of money now imagine spending A4 million dollars on a bathroom that's some bathroom I saw the bathroom the shower has six different knobs I wanted to live inside the shower when I saw it I wanted to move I said can I move in here he how much is rent this this shower is nicer than my house then you see the stones Mosaic and Stones I I I could have sworn it was diamonds unbelievable bathroom the bathroom was beautiful some people have bathrooms even fancier than this their bathrooms are so beautiful but guess what theira smells disgusting their life after this life still stinks why because all of their effort they invested into the world here into the bathroom here instead of investing into a world that actually matters that lasts much much longer than a 70 80 90 120 years that a person will live here this is what a Jew is supposed to think about not just what can I get out of this life now today today today what am I doing today and how will it affect that next world because there are plenty of people with fantastic houses here but over there they're homeless beautiful bathrooms here that you can lick off the floor you can eat off the floor you could cook in there but over there there smells gross that's what a Jew needs to think about because if you only think about this world it's impossible impossible for a person to be righteous now a person's going to say what I used to say what everybody says it's hard to be jew it's hard to Kosher meat it's hard to keep Shabbat take a break once a week it's hard that you have holidays seems like almost every other month it's hard to wear a TI you know it's hot Florida inside outside it's always hot another layer makes you feel like you're uh you know you're you're on fire just by wearing this extra layer of clothes it's hard you have to wear keepo look like different from everybody else it's hard you have to read every day the Sido I mean technically every Jew of the reasons why Jews are notoriously smarter than the rest of the world is because we read a whole book every day at least it's called The Sid if you pray you read no less than three 400 Pages go find me one average uh American that reads 10 pages a day kids don't even know who their presidents in America anymore yes them who's the vice president uh is it Washington Washington how many how many Jewish countries are in the world 47 how many Arab countries are in the world one now you guys think I'm making this up this was an actual study in UCLA UCLA higher education one of the top schools in the country they ask kids on campus these questions they as that's the answers they gave them how many Arab countries they say one how many Jewish countries how many Jewish people in the world n average 2 and a half billion how many Arabs oh only a few million completely the opposite of reality this is higher education college students why their best reading is uh soap operas on the internet now a Jew that actually reads A Sido and understands what he's reading already he's going to develop a different type of mind if he's not going to read then guess why he's going to be like everybody else but now of course that there is wisdom among the non-jews if they apply themselves and of course there's stupidity among the Jews if they don't apply themselves or perhaps they apply themselves in a wrong way there are plenty of stupid Jews and there are plenty of smart non-jews but generally speaking if a person follows the instructions that Hashem gave him you will have a life that's full of pleasure that's full of good even though it will always have difficulties as long as you're alive you will have difficulties that's life so to overcome all of these difficulties where you're saying that oh kosher food is more expensive and Shabbat is this and all the holidays when a person is struggling with the mitv that only means that he it's not that the mitv are difficult because they're not it just means that you're misund understanding the value of the what is it like there was a person one time and I think I told some of you guys the story but it's worth repeating tells his story in a much better way but I'll do my best he says there's a person that one time needed a job and he called his friend you have a job for me he goes yeah I have a fantastic job for you come to my office he comes to the office he goes listen take this bag and just do me a favor give it to the guy on top of the mountain so the guy needs the money so he takes the bag and he picks up the bag this bag is uh heavier than him and it's 900 degrees outside it's so hot outside he's already melting before he went outside almost like I am today here in front of you he's hot and the bag is heavy and the mountain is high and he's like what am I I got to make the money so he goes up the mountain and he's up to the first level and it's already so difficult already he regrets this job but he's already up he need the money work can do gets to the second level of the mountain and already at this point he starts to hate his friend he starts to hate his friend a little bit why he's like what kind of friend I why couldn't he give me a much easier job what kind of friend is this it's such a terrible friends like this who needs enemies and he starts like rationalize in his in his mind how his friends taking advantage of him I can't believe this guy gave me this job it's so hot why couldn't he give it to me on a nicer day why couldn't he give me just a lighter bag and he hates his friend hates his friend he curses his friend and his friend the whole time is watching with binoculars he's watching him to see how far he's going and he goes a little higher and a little higher by the time he gets to about half the mountain he has cursed his friend Every curse that he knows in every single language he already started creating a new language of curses to his friend his wife calls him his wife calls him ding D ding he pick up the phone yeah what do you want already he's M what honey nothing nothing I just wanted to say hello what hello you know H it is he starts yelling at his wife she didn't do anything me up poor lady nothing she didn't do all she wants how how you doing he yells at her gives her piece of his mind the poor lady regrets she was born let alone call the guy hangs up the phone in her face she she cries be SK out poor lady's crying the whole day he's yelling at her Everybody's scared no one knows what's going on so everybody's M doesn't know what to do what's happening to him and the guy keeps going up the mountain more up the mountain more up the mountain and then he gets another phone call and it's his friend he's like you know what I'm going to give this guy a piece of my mind I'm going to tell him what I really think all these years I kept it inside everybody talked bad about him but I defended him this time I'm going I tell him what I forgive me this job I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind he picks up the phone he doesn't even let the guy say hello nothing he start wailing on him in yish in Hebrew in English in uh in every language he starts talking like some people from Africa that make noises all types of curses and every language the guy no there's a language like that that's what they do it I don't know if I said anything but for sure I said something Discovery Channel 30 years ago that's what he did now he starts cursing after he finishes his friend says you're finished yeah I'm finished listen the bag I know it's heavy but it's full of diamonds and all of them but one are yours that's your payment all I need you to do is take one of those diamonds to the top the rest of the diamonds that's your payment for carrying them the whole way how does the guy feel at this point everything changed but all of a sudden guess what the bag is as light as a the feather then that he starts hopping up the mountain is you know he calls his wife honey how are you mommy Kap how you doing I miss you so much baby GUI guci starts making up every name and the son for his wife how much he loves a honey we haven't gotone to a vacation you know you deserve a vacation you're such a you're such a I can't believe I haven't taken you a vacation such a beautiful woman you deserve better than me I wish I could do the woman she got cursed out 15 minutes ago now she doesn't know what to who is this person who's this person she says a FaceTime I want to see it's you there a face I want to see it's you see it's a husband all of a sudden he's got a ear to ear smile he loves life he starts hopping up the mountain now here's the question did anything change inside the bag no nothing changed it was Heavy before the call from his friend it's heavy after the call of the friend what changed the only that changed is now he understood what's inside the bag and what is it worth to him because even if he knew that the bag is full of diamonds but it belongs to somebody else it still wouldn't affect him but now that he knows that yes it's diamonds and they're all yours all of a sudden ah this is all for me all of this suffering all of the struggle all all of the big weight it's all for me I benefit out of this that's our MIT that's our when we go to early in the morning when we go to late at night when we fulfill a mitvah even though the rest of our friends don't want to join us when we watch our bit even though we really want to do something that's not allowed according to the Torah when we do all types of things that Hashem says yes it could feel heavy but that's only because we do not understand the value and we do not understand that the reward is going to end up being in our pocket but that reward is much more valuable than a bag of diamonds now in order for a Jew to overcome all of the tests that he's going to get in different ways he must have confidence in hasem he must have to know that even though not all of the stories in our lives are as easily to easy to explain as what I just explained to you the benefit that we have is that we knew the beginning of the story we knew the middle of the story and now we know the end of the story so it feels good we have to apply the story to our life how do we apply this story to our life on a day-to-day basis so the next time you want to do a mitzvah that's difficult for you like for example watching your eyes because there's a half naked woman walking down the street and you want to be a good Jew and not look at her how do you do it well you should know that quotes from The Z he says that every time there's an opportunity for you to see something IM modest an immodest woman it's right in front of you there's a woman walking down the street meaning that it's not right in front of you she's walking down the street meaning you have an opportunity to go elsewhere or perhaps on a screen you could turn it off or perhaps it's uh somewhere within your vicinity you know that this way you can look at the billboard that has something that's not allowed something that's forbidden you can look elsewhere you could walk elsewhere you could do something else you have an opportunity to react not that somebody is right in your face that means that hem is sending it to you to see what will you do says if a Jew looks away looks away does not look at the Imus woman looks away does not end up bringing all those disgusting thoughts in his mind at that moment that he's looking away and letting all of this garbage P him letting this woman that is acting like a cow because she has the same outfit on walk past him and he continues at that moment that moment not later not before at that verse very moment he could pray to hem and ask hasem for anything he wants and it'll be for it'll given anything he wants why because the test is that big you have something difficult you want to get a job you want to find a wife you want to have a kid you want to have anything you want hem says you can do it how overcome the obstacle but not just once overcome and then just look back just to see what happened that's not overcoming it test that's making a joke of the test you press X on the website so you go to another website that's not that's not passing the Test passing the test is staying clean now the only way that a person could overcome such tests is if he knows number one that Hashem is the one that's giving it to you number two Hashem knows what he is doing if he gave you a test that means he knows for sure without a shadow of a doubt that you can pass it there's no doubt in his mind that you can pass this test no father will tell his little two three year-old son to lift a tractor trailer on top of his head why because he knows he can't do it if he told his two-year-old son to lift a 18 wheeler over his head what does that mean it means the father is crazy and hates his kid needless to say this is not Hashem Our Father in Heaven if he gave you a test if he tell you go pick up something that means he knows for sure you can do it so don't ever say oh this test is too much hasem is giving me too much no such thing no such thing if Hashem gave you a test that means he knows you can pass it so how do we pass all of these tests it requires us to have confidence not only that Hashem is running the world but that Hashem actually is the one that's giving it to us for our own benefit that his old system that has ups and downs for us that has difficulties that has reward that has enjoyment that has things that are not so enjoyable at the end of it all it has good and that's what the series is all about so on on page number nine the bet on the bottom of the page says the following he says Hashem decrees the results and then he chooses one of the many Poss possible ways for it to happen the way this simply works is as follows we've talked about free choice several times over the last couple of weeks it's a very interesting question if hasem knows what I'm going to do then do I still really have free choice the answer is yes you have free choice and even though he knows what you're going to do he does not disturb your choice so so even if I knew what you're going to do in let's say a half hour from now an hour from now and you end up doing it that doesn't mean that I interrupted your choice you still did it Hashem knows what we're going to do our whole life and he does not interrupt with our choice does not interfere with our choice but nonetheless he makes the world function in such a way based on our free choice which means that he already decides what outcome will happen out of every single thing that a person will choose if he chooses let's say to go the right way he will get married to a good woman have good kids have good panasa never have to worry about money have a uh you know kids that actually respect him have a wife that stays married to him more than just a few years have a life full of Happiness be healthy throughout his life not have to suffer all types of things if he chooses bad then the opposite divorce after divorce kids can't stand their father kids can't stand their mother they can't wait to leave the house because they hate their parents they don't respect them when the parents get old they don't even visit them in the hospital they can't wait to get to get rid of them so much so that a person will regret the day he was born Shalom told a story he says somebody came to again and told Rabbi I uh I need um I need you to do a special sh forat of my father my father he's on his death bed he's on his deathbed and I want you to do a sh next week because I'm not going to be able to stop and everything I want you to do a sh for his benefit for his so again says to him wait a minute your father is a li he's dead he goes no no he's on his death bed he's still alive though he goes wait so you're planning to have a sh done for people to study t for your father after he dies he says yeah I want a merit for my father he says if you're already going to come to me why didn't you come to me and ask to pray for your father to live the guy was dumbfounded oh he he wasn't sure what to do he went home he went home and you know what happened when he got home his father was cooking they released him from the hospital they released him from the hospital his father was already home cooking he was already planning for his father's death have for my father what about having uh pray for your father to live what does that mean that means there some there's a problem between the kid and the father something that the father did that the kid there's a misconnect there's a disconnect here guess what when a person does things that Hashem doesn't like these are the things that happen that's why the gar says that the skin of a person after he when he's alive the skin of a person is perfectly t it's pure but once he dies the decreed that once a person's once a person dies he becomes impure now in reality in reality Tor doesn't say that the skin should be impure Tor doesn't say these skin should be impure but decreed this why they said if we don't decree for the skin to become impure after a person dies then what's going to happen the kids that are fighting over the inheritance no I'm going to get the house no I'm going to get the business no I'm going to get the car no I'm going to get the bank account no I'm going to get the stock portfolio at some point they're going to get to the body and they say okay I'm going to get the skin you take the bank I'm G to take the skin I'm gonna put I'm put aba's skin I'm put ima's skin on the walls say the kids that are not raised the right way don't have t don't have guess what all they care about after the parents die is the money and the inheritance and all this stuff all the showoff stuff they care less about the body it's just a corpse but they're going to pretend like they care what are they going to say oh I put ABA as a painting on the wall knew that human nature can become so revolting that we wouldn't even see anything wrong with this so they said that as soon as a person dies the skin becomes impure meaning you're not allowed to touch it you become impure so when a person does things that are not good or he does things that are good already decides what the results of those things are going to be the only thing that changes based on our actions now we could do the wrong thing in a countless different ways we could do the right thing in countless different ways so simply decides and chooses one of the many ways that this good bad thing will actually happen to this person so I give you an example I have a student who just sacrificed made a sacrifice I don't know anybody else that made the sacrifice put it that way I'm sure somebody else did it I have some very very interesting students I have some really interesting students some of my students I'm telling you unbelievable like I have one guy one student of mine he was born non-jewish now when he discovered Judaism he abandoned Christianity immediately abandoned Christianity immediately he realized that Christianity is idolatry he realized it's garbage he didn't want to do it but now he says I want to be a Jew how do I be a Jew I'm going to learn the tah see what it says because you didn't know about rabbis he know about our conversion he didn't know this yet so he saw this this Judaism okay I'm going to learn Jews learn this tah Five Books of Moses and he started learning the Tah and so on and so forth eventually gets to the of and abrah has a covenant with hem what's the Covenant circumcision he says AB hem says to abah you will be blessed your descendants will be blessed those who bless you will be blessed those who curse you will be cursed guy says to himself I want to be like abah I want to Covenant so he says I'm going to have to bre me so he goes to the doctor he says I want to do bre me I want to do circumcision I want to do circumcision and the guy says to them okay circumcision is uh $115,000 guy says hold on $15 can I put down payment $15 and the doctor said what $15 it's $155,000 circumcision it's a surgery anesthesia you're already 35 years old eight days old the whole thing so the guy says I what am I going to do what am I going to do the guy goes home he cries he prays to Hashem says what am I going to do Hashem please tell me see what could I possibly do I want to be with hhm I want to be a Jew now he hasn't he has not contacted a single Rabbi at this point but he knows he wants to do what Hashem wants and he decides incorrectly but nonetheless he decides what does he decide I'm gonna give myself like and that's what he does now when he told me this I almost vomited I said what do you mean you gave yourself how do you give yourself goes well not exactly I took I he started describing me the whole process I said I started sweating bullets him describing me the surprise you actually did all that he said yeah I went through all of it I went through all of it I couldn't believe myself now by the way according to to do this now to do you have to go the has to be supervised by rabbis most importantly because the you give yourself most likely is incorrect and you'll uh you won't cut enough which means you'll have to have another surgery you could hurt yourself it's not the right way to do it but the point being is that who Among Us Among Us here in this room even the women included is willing to cut a piece of body part in the most sensitive area in their body for God sometimes We complain to God just because we broke a nailem how come you do this my whole nine Nails nine Nails nowm instead of 10 Nails how come you did this to me we cried to hm because we have a broken nail we cried to hasem because we have a few dollars short in our bank account now I have another guy he wants to convert so I told him you have to convert you have to be in a Jewish Community I said you living next to a Jewish Community he says the nearest to me Jewish people next to me is a few hundred miles away so I have to travel somewhere I can't I have to move somewhere else so listen to the story I'm telling you for the last week I'm repeating the story in my head a thousand times I can't believe this happened and this guy travels over 3,000 miles 3,000 miles moves his whole family wife six kids not so easy 3,000 miles to go to a Jewish community that alone already half the group is gone half the US already okay I'm G to stay non-jewish leave me alone already half the people are knocking 3,000 miles I'm what are you crazy say you know send an email I can do that I can send an email text message for sure watch a YouTube video definitely 3,000 miles what are you out of your mind 3,000 000 miles with six kids and a wife traveling 3,000 to move to a Jewish Community now if that's not enough gets to the first house say no it's not it's not available you just travel 3,000 miles you prepared ahead to get to the house no it's not available anymore where you going to live okay get to the next house few days later okay yeah you have to move why I we're selling the house yeah but I just I'm renting we did a deal that sorry sir you have to leave you're moving out again third house going to the house everything's broken sir uh yeah um the the government says that we have to uh shut down this location in a month and a half two months maybe four five houses now you're thinking this is all bad right you're thinking this is all bad I got you this think this is all bad wait till you see the end finally gets to the last house last house decent house okay house not the house that he wants to stay in not the house that he placed to stay in but it's livable until they found a house that's Long and Lasting but as you would have it since they haven't worked in so long money is gone you know that's what happens in life when you're not a kid and you don't work there's no money that's how that's how life actually happens by the way like doesn't just appear so now money ran out travel 3,000 miles moved to five different houses all that stuff money is scarting out and he tells this uh friend of his who's the landlord he says listen um I'm sorry but I don't think I'm going to be able to stay here any longer because I can't afford the place I can't afford the place now this friend this landlord he's not he became friends just in the last two weeks he Jewish and his friend tells him listen don't worry about it just stay here when's that sh when's that sh to that you told me about when's that sh that you told me about that we went to last week he says oh it's uh Sunday 9 o' let's go to that sh just stay in the house don't worry about the house though let's just go to that you so now he bring brings a Jew to they're sing a and some Rabbi from New York that lives in Florida now happens to look like me talks about a few things one of the things he talks about is inter marriage and guess what it's the first time in the Jew's life he's ever heard that inter marriage is not allowed it's the first time in a Jew's life that he ever realize what kind of mess he's in now just think about it this way took a non-jew that wants to be a Jew and his family and six kids over 3,000 miles from one Coast to the next torture them for a month and a half two months house to house to house to house as if they're going bar hopping house to house to house why so they could finally end up in one house that has a jewi in it so they could tell the Jew maybe you want to come to the sh and the Jew says you know what maybe I should and he goes to the and he finds out it's not too late I could still do cha but I have to change now that may seem like punishment at first traveling all these miles away try going from house to house but by the way all of this happened last week for anyone who hasn't caught on yet the reality is that cares enough about each and every one of us that he literally goes through so much trouble if you will just to make sure that every single one of you has an opportunity to do chuva every single one of you has an opportunity to get the truth at least once in your life so you don't go up to shami you don't go up to heaven and say I never heard that before I never knew this no one goes up to heaven saying I never knew this no no one goes up to heaven saying I never heard this you know what you say in heaven when you get up to the bed of sh yeah I heard this but uh I didn't do it I chose otherwise you know what they say to you over there we know but there's no more Chua up there anymore and that's what a Jew needs to think about that's what even a nonu needs to think about what happens after so will decide the result of all of our actions already from the start how are you going to get to that point how are you going to receive that truth how are you going to receive that reward or punishment will decide based on different moves that you make in your life perhaps this Jew give to somebody and earned himself a merit that'll hear the truth one more time so hasem says okay I need to get the truth to this guy in Florida now he's surrounded by a bunch of liars that have a beard he's surrounded by a bunch of Thieves that steal how going get this die this guy to truth okay you know what I'm going to take this other Jew from New York I'm G to bring him to Florida for him then I'm going to take this other non-jew from Oregon I'm going to also bring him and his family to over here to Florida and then I'm going to connect them and then somehow they're both going to talk to this guy at the same time and he's going to find out this is the truth now is this Mercy or is this punishment if you didn't know you would think it's punishment punishment for the person that drove 3,000 miles punishment for the person that moved from New York to here punishment for the person that was living a fake life finding the truth punishment for everybody because it all seems upside down it all seems like a big problem a big headache but when a person considers what happens after this life and who's the one that's running the world you see how all of these difficulties all of these tribulations are literally the ultimate version of Mercy that hasem has so how Hashem is going to bring the truth to you how Hashem is going to bring the reward to you how Hashem is going to do everything that he does that he already decided the result he's decided how he's going to do it the specifics that's determined based on what move we make it's like chess you make a move with the first uh one of your pawns over there he's going to make a move with his others and so on and so forth so this is what the intentions of the midash on the PUK where it says that in the book of y y it was at the end of two years I'm sorry an um it was at the end of two years that and Par had dreamed this is misquoted this is it's not it's a it's on it's talking about the uh dream that par had and Y interpreted meaning that what he's trying to say here and I assume that the mistranslation is probably leaving people confused what happened is is that yusf sadik was in jail for 10 years now jail in those days wasn't like the Taj Mahal we have today there wasn't TVs there wasn't bathrooms there wasn't a beds it was all in the same place the bathroom the bed and the TV everything was in the same hole it was a hole in the ground and it just threw people in there that's where they live with the feces with all the garbage all the most disgusting things on the planet all in the same huge giant hole which they themselves dug now sadik was aish was was like a uh very soft very soft Soul very like uh you know just like not uh brute type of person you know there certain people that are just softer he was one of those so imagine living among this filth where filthy people filthy things next to him just surrounded by filth 10 years imagine doing this for 10 minutes we can't survive going to the in New York public bathrooms or anywhere public bathrooms you can't survive 10 minutes without wanting to vomit you go into a public bathroom go to New York Subway bathroom you go go to any public bathro you want to vomit after 10 seconds you can't believe there's some guy in there working and whing he's cleaning the glass like as if it's roses he's cleaning like it's roses you're like I can't survive in 10 minutes imagine much worse than this for 10 years that's where y sadik was he had a punishment and then he got two more years because as I said to you guys two weeks ago he relied on men instead of relying on a 100% he relied on 100% 99% on hem there was like a little bit of an error that he asked a man for a favor he says listen remember to remember me when you talk to par so the mid says after the 12 year sentences over the PUK says and it was at the end of two years that per had dreamed meaning that aadh already decided already decided that salvation was going to come to Yousef that he's gonna make him the visoy of Egypt number two in Egypt this PUK is telling us Hashem decided this is how I'm going to do it how I'm going to make this Supernatural natural I'm G to make have a dream that none of his necromancers none of his Wizards none of the people around them are going to be able to translate but then the one guy that was in jail the guy that is dream interpreted he's gonna finally remember your and he's gonna come to and says oh listen uh my master um my bad but I forgot there some guy in the in the cage over there in the hole over there in the gay over there that you have you call to jail is a guy that could probably help you with the dream so now it says at the end of two years had a dream did hasm need him to have a dream no he just decided this is the way I'm going to do it that minute the decree was over the decree was over and that's why the says and they hurried him out of the hole why they hurried him why you say they walked him up to the you know why why they hurried him why is it they hurried him out of the out of the hole because as soon as hem brings the Salvation it's immediate meaning as soon as the decree the punishment is over it's over so now since it's over they had to hurry him out of the G that he in and bring him to the gun and he's supposed to go in immediately meaning that hasem already had all of it planned out how he's going to do it this is when he decided he decided here par is gonna have a dream that guy is going to hear the dream he say oh he can help you and then they're going to hurry him up and he's going to interpret the dream and so on and so forth and within literally a few hours YF goes from being one of the beings that is still surviving this hole to literally being the king of Egypt I mean this if it wasn't written you couldn't even believe such a thing the mid Compares this to P in the book of Y chapter 28 verse three which says he decreed an end to Darkness a time was set for how long YF would have to be in jail once the time for his release came had a dream the intention is that we should not say that it was paro's dream that caused YF to be released rather it was the time hasem had decree that YF would be released and therefore par had a dream like we just said it's not the dream that saved YF but rather that the decree was completed hasem decid okay the sentence is done 12 years were served that said get him out of there immediately because now the next decree and the next decree was much better so how I'm going to do this give him a dream bring the people and so on and so forth move all he moves all of the pieces to make it all happen so then the BET continues and he says similarly don't think that a multicolored shirt theim theim that yobu made forf alone and not for his brothers which caused jealousy and the selling of YF to MIT is what caused our ancestors to go down to MIT rather at the time of theit that hem had spoke to Abu it was decreed already for the Jewish people to go into the Exile that decree caused the events related to theim to occur through which the Exile took place ifu had not made theim the decree would have come about through other causes the same is true with any chain of events first hasem makes the decree of what he wants to happen then hasem chooses of the many possible methods to which it will take place now further the gar says yob ainu suffered tremendously suffered tremendously for over 20 years because of the loss of his son Yousef how could this be good how could this be good yov was KES the father of is how could him suffering for so many years first of all we see that inside him he knew that YF is not dead why because the T itself says that the longest that a person truly feels the mourning the death of some of of somebody that they love is one year after that hasem turns on the forget button and it's not that they forget the person it's that they forget the feeling that they had for that first year that's part of the mercy of hem but yobu was suffering as if YF just died every day for 20 22 years abnormal amount of suffering so says how could this be good I mean this is terrible he's suffering for so many years eventually he would go to Egypt you bring down everybody to go and be with yourik and live a very good life for the last part of his life but he suffered a lot beforehand how could this be good because the says as the bet just said the decreed that is was going to go to eat Egypt already was passed said to your descendants will become slaves your theend will become slaves certain things happened that made hasem decide this certain things happened one of the things that happened is that the three sons of Noah each fulfilled different things Shem Shem saw that his father after the Maul was over he saw that his father was naked because his sonan Kanan raped Noah so Shem saw that his father was naked after this disgusting act took place and he ran over to cover him yit yit saw that he's doing it and came to help him after like short like literally half a second after 30 seconds later not like right away but 30 seconds later not a big deal Noah decided after he saw what happened he cursed that Kanan you're going to be a slave you're going to be a Slave but problem is that when am is does not do the will of hem we also become slaves and Hashem says you'll become slaves to the slave you'll become a slave of the slave so one of the descends of Canan was MIT was Egypt when we became slaves to Egypt that was fulfilling that part of the prophecy when we left Egypt that was fulfilling another part of that prophecy even more so there's also a difference of what happened in there you see because Shem came there right away Hashem says you have a reward for this what's the reward your children will your descendants will also be covered with what with mitvah ofah that's why till this day 4,000 years later Jews wear talit why because Shem ran over to protect his father the honor of his father now ye also came so what how come how come you don't see the Christians wearing other than this generation decided to be half Jews how come how come uh the pope didn't wear talit 500 years ago how come because that's not their reward what's their reward the T says the reward that hasem says to ye you came about a half a second later 30 seconds later so you get a different reward what's your reward at go Magog at go when mashia destroys everybody all the enemies of hem mhia is going to destroy all of them he's going to destroy now there's going to be so many bodies So Many Bodies it's going to take seven years to bury them so I'm going to command my nation to bury your people why because you covered Noah that's your Mitzvah that's that's that's what you get for it you get a reward 4,000 years later that because you covered your your father your descendants will cover your you know my my children will cover your descendants yeah but this is how come he got the he gets the reward right away and I get a 4,000 years later because he went to the Mitzvah right away and you waited a little bit your half a second is 4,000 years in sham so your reward is 4,000 years later your delay may not seem like a big deal to you in sh it's a big deal and that's how big of a deal it is that's how big of a deal it is so now yobu is supposed to go to Egypt Hashem already decided that Egypt is going to happen already at the time of Noah that's why when he told it to AB it's not a k he says your children are going to Egypt how we're going to get them there that's a different story let's see what happens let's see what happens so now yob has to go to Egypt hasm is not telling him you're gonna go to Egypt but he has to go to Egypt how we gonna get him there it's two ways it's two ways or I can give him 22 years of suffering Hashem says I give my son my dear son my loving son 22 years of suffering but then he goes and sees his son and he hugs him and he says and he lives the last years of his life and happily and everything is good and they live and they have panasa and they have their own City within Egypt and everything is good or there's no suffering and then I have to bring the Egyptians to's house put all of them in HS and walk them across the whole desert across the whole desert with his family with the babies with the kids with everybody across the whole desert and already make yov ainu as the first slave in Egypt one or the other had to happen he knew y didn't want to be a slave he knew that Abraham ainu didn't want his grandson to be a slave he knew that didn't want his son to be a slave say this is the Torah this is what we get the reward for okay I understand you don't want it but it has to happen it has to happen some something has to bring him to Egypt I can't can't just tell him yov go to Egypt why cuz then that removes his free choice so it has to happen this decree has to happen the suffering has to happen why does the suffering have to happen because a created in a very different way than the rest of the people Shem was very different than the rest of the people the rest of his brothers later on in the Tora he's called maled Mal when you see it in the Tor is Shem Shem was very different first Shem built T that sheem had is extraordinary learned in the in the BET mid of learned in the mid of the Tora that Shem had was very unique the Torah that AB had very unique very extraordinary they were different than everybody else that abam as a three-year-old a three-year-old could already recognize the when we have today 30 year olds that can't recognize it at 3 years old he knew that there's a God today we have 30 40 50 year olds that debate if there's a God or not obviously you see this is different and you can't say no no but there's a lot of people that do that there's a lot of people that understand no no he was the only one in the world in his own world because this is before he met shim in his own world his father was an idol worshipper his mom was an idol worshiper everyone was on idol worshipper he was the only one showing that in his DNA he was different already and the Tora says that is already from the seed of Shem already from abah a already from already from yob was so different was so difficult as a people that they were literally unbearable to the rest of creation that in order for hasem to Humble them because they were so much better than the rest of creation he had to break them because think about it this way think about it this way when when somebody made Yehuda the son of yov son of yov made him angry now you get angry at worst maybe you could yell if you're a violent person you could hit the guy when yudah got angry a piece of metal came out of his out of his chest and he would Roar and a building would collapse a building would collapse like you're talking about a 50 story building would collapse that's what the mid says that's Yoda the rest of the brothers were literally like superheroes each one of them had different powers different things they were so much better than everybody else it was unimaginable in mid there's a whole about the wars of the sons of yov the wars of the sons of yov you have it Shimon and Le they killed a bunch of people people think is a big deal just read about the rest of the wars they fought the rest of the wars they fought everybody fought yov came with what with a bow and arrow yov shoot shot shot one bow one one Arrow tens of thousands of people die with one bow one Arrow tens of thousands a bomb doesn't do that you're talking about powers that to us seem abnormal seem Supernatural were so much more extraordinary than the rest of mankind it was impossible for them to relate to the rest of mankind so in order for Hashem to bring them down in essence closer to this world slavy had to happen Egypt had to happen and therefore the two choices had to take place the destination was already made already in the beginning as far as how to bring him there that's what hasm had to decide do I take him yov my dear son who fulfills my entire Torah with chains and handcuffs or do I just make him cry for 20 years and Hashem decided to make him cry for 20 years but not take him not not to disrespect him that's how much love he had for yob that he rather make him cry and eventually laugh and smile smile than to dishonor him even for a second his own son so you see here that each and every single thing that a person experiences in their life knows exactly what's going to happen before it happens the only thing that changes basically is how it's going to happen and that's determined by our own actions whether you're going to get panasa or you're not going to get panasa Hashem already decided the only thing that's left is for you to decide how you're going to try to make pessa are you going to pray for it are you going to steal for it are you g to cheat for it what are you g to do for this pessa now money is usually the biggest test for most people or at least it's the first big test that people have and the reason why is because people toil so much to make money it's very hard for them to see hashem's involvement in their life because they figure they wake up early in the morning they go on a bus or they go in traffic for an hour and a half and they make money because they have a good idea because they speak well because they have a good product whatever it is is they rationalize how they made their money so when somebody says listen we're trying to raise some money to start this program it's going to cost three four $5,000 a week to help kids do cha oh okay okay you know they send you $25 it's like oh okay for sending $25 but I thought you were a lawyer yeah yeah I'm a lawyer oh last I checked lawyers make good money unless well you're only a first two second year lawyer no I'm already a lawyer for uh 15 years oh so I don't know I was in the business world the guys that lawyers that I met that were in a business 15 years they didn't charge less than $900 an hour but let's say you're I don't know maybe you Char you're a discount lawyer you charge $500 an hour so you work 40 hours a week talking about decent money talking about $220,000 a week now of course good part of it goes to the firm da either way you're making a couple hundred, a year how come you gave $25 and a uh 18-year-old gave $500 Taka there an 18y old that gave $500 and there a 40y old that gave $25 come how come because The 40-Year-Old has been working so long he forgot that God's the one that's giving it to him so when he finally was time to give he feels like he's giving his money so all he wants to give up his money $25 the 18-year-old he hasn't worked he got this as a gift he got the $500 as a gift mommy and daddy gave it to him the uncle gave it to him the cousin gave it to him so he doesn't have a full demented connection and obsession with money yet he just saw there's a good cause I have money let's go what's the problem he's not he's not addicted to the money yet he stays that way but that's the key that's the key what's the difference between the two both had the money in fact the had much more money but why did the other guy why did the young kid decide to give so much more he's not addicted to the money because he doesn't think he made it in fact he knows he didn't make it even ABA gave it to him the cousin gave it to him the uncle gave it to him grandma gave it to him whereas the guy that has plenty more has tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds of thousands of dollars he feels like he made it and that's why a person that is obsessed with money is going to have a very very hard time giving money and that is going to eliminate one of his as a identification as a fingerprint of a Jew the way you know that someone is identifiably has a spiritual fingerprint of being a descendant of abrah ainu is they have to be humble they have to be generous generous it's already doesn't matter what number two is generous already hold on a second generous what how generous how much generous do I need to be what $25 50 is okay 50 is okay that's the problem that's already at number two many people have humble everybody thinks they're humble even Donald Trump thinks he's humble people don't understand what humble is what humility is generosity is a trait of a Jew a descendant of yob ofu this is the spiritual fingerprint that a person has now if a person is addicted to his money because he think he made it he thinks he made it then when he arrives in shim it's hard to identify whether he's a descendant of of or not why there's no fingerprint part of the fingerprint is gone the Soul's fingerprint is gone because he's not generous same thing if somebody's arrogant show up to sh and say wait you sure you're related to Abu Abu one of the humblest people that ever lived says that he's dust and you're this you're his kid are you sure how could this be what went wrong here somebody came to the ad mik one of the greatest that lived in the last couple hundred years and uh he knew him already from childhood they went to class together they learned together and he says to the rabbi so R you see you heard about what I do I heard show want show you show me so he says you see those ships over there the small ones behind them the big ones that's mine that one that one that was three ship that's mine you see these buildings this whole row of buildings seven buildings over here that's mine that's seven buildings is mine you see this road they're redoing construction company on there both the road and the company of mine you see all these employees on the line waiting for paycheck 700 people over there they work for me you see the logo on this company a different logo in that company and a different logo in that company all three companies I'm the only owner so the says to him yes so what about your what about this world do you have anything you know goes Reby what do you mean do I have anything in this world look what I have what you want to go over again the ships the building goes no no no no no I said this world show me what you have in this world so the guy's confused because what do you mean this this world this building is in this world the car is in this world all this stuff is World goes no no he goes that's your that's youra show me what you have in this world why you got all this good but you're not using it necessarily to live a life of tah you don't even have a keep on you don't put on you don't even keep Shabbat so of course hasm has to reward you for the few you've done in your life so that's your he's giving it to you here the buildings the ship the everything else he's giving it to you here but what about do you have anything for that you have anything safe for that one that's an answer the classmate didn't expect he thought he was going to impress the Reby with some buildings you see unfortunately sometimes the most confusing thing that a person can deal with is money and we're going to finish with just a couple of small things when it comes to it because this is relevant to current affairs current news you see Jewish organizations today there's many of them and what you find out often is that the Jewish Jewish organizations can sometimes do unwish things and typically the reason is or at least the hazard the tool that's leads them to do that is money now I'm not sure if people are naive blind or stupid or all three but the picture couldn't be clearer for anyone that's looking from the outside or perhaps even from the inside if they're just looking with a clear shade of glasses now you see that there are many Jewish organizations today that bem money is not really a problem they're getting more money than they could even imagine they're getting more money than they could even count you named the organization and they probably had a million doll 24-hour fundraiser several times a year where where just the previous generation had to literally travel from country to Country for a few years to raise $1 million to build one Yesa or two you could literally now have a million dollars or more raised in 24 hours we have a fundraiser we need a new building we're raising $3.5 million in 24 hours 30 6 hours and guess what not only they raise the money they raise more they have a bonus round they get the four or5 million have the money it's good gives people gives the organization the ability to grow it's all fantastic it's all fantastic it's all it's all rewards from sham that's not the problem the problem is what happens after the problem is this sometimes what happens before it's not the fundraiser that's the problem it's sometimes where you getting the f fing from now unfortunately some of the biggest Jewish organizations today have simply acted as if the Christianity the Christian world is not a threat to Jews anymore there it's almost like as if we have cancelled out the threat of missionaries in our minds to such an extent that when you speak against it religious Jews start yelling and screaming at you what the secular Jew says you know what you're right the religious come on why you saying about our brothers the Christians when I was in New York anyone that watched the lectures I had somebody that was like a half a missionary that came to the Shu tried to make a scene after he swallowed his own tongue he decided to change tones because he didn't get get the kind of response that he was exped he was expecting to get maybe a puppy Rabbi that's going to say no it's okay wow you have that thought you have that idea okay thank you she watch that's you and see how you eat a person alive with words was a big K defend the Tor problem is today we're making a mistake where we think that it's okay to use Christian money what most Jews do not want to understand do want do not want to see is that the Christian world is smarter today than it's ever been before they realize that for 2,000 years they would Tred to kill our bodies as a threat if we don't kill our souls if we don't if we don't convert to their religion and simply during the Spanish Inquisition during the times of the BET mikdash and pretty much every other generation for the last 2,000 years if a Jew did not convert to Christianity they'd simply kill him they kill his body but not his soul but over the last several decades things have changed in the Christian world where they've literally have changed strategy the is using full force right now because he knows this is the last train the top missionaries in the Christian world are Jews so that already gives them some type of fake kosher stamp hey a Jew became a Christian therefore you a Jew should be Christian the top ones the most popular Christian missionaries in the world ones that have literally stadiums of 50 100,000 people show up every Sunday they don't have to pay them $15 they pay them each person giv a tithe guess what that guy that woman is a Jew most of the time huge multi-million dollar organizations from the church are run by Jews that have left and become upside down they are literally Open Season against the Jewish communities to the extent where they're doing it out in the open without a shadow of embarrassment they're not even hiding there are countless lectures on the internet where they're specifically targeting Jews and if that's not bad enough there are many Jews that call themselves religious that let the wolf in by putting these Christians on the board by accepting donations from them by literally having them as part of the Jewish organizations and calling it the Christians and Jews United or Jews and Christians United as if we're brothers like asav and yov made peace and we're ignoring what's the rest of what happened in history and what's going to happen moving forward andov now I'm not saying you're supposed to hate anyone or fight anyone but to act as if we are not spiritual enemies it's simply ignoring the Torah and it's putting the whole nation at risk now you have without mentioning specific names major Jewish organizations accepting big money billi ions of dollars from Christians organizations and trust me when I tell you it's not going to end well it's not going to end well and the reason why is because these Christians are not donating the money they're investing because they invest hundreds of millions of dollars into Israel different places sometimes they even donate to yes sometimes they donate to very poor areas within within Israel religious communities that gives them free ticket to do whatever they want so you have missionaries inside B dressed like but they promote Christianity you have them inside the government B nany has a few of those few of those missionaries right next to him you have literally hundreds of millions of dollars inside organizations that help people come to is organizations that promote the peace for example you have Apec and Jewish Federation just look at their board of directors it's not having non-jews on the board that's a problem it's having Evangelical Christians on the board that's a problem because if you're an Evangelical Christian your number one mission in life is to missionized and convert Jews to Christianity so to have a Christian Missionary on the board of a Jewish company doesn't really sound so good if you want to stay Jewish now why am I mentioning this because I've mentioned all of this in the past is because this is also infiltrating smaller organizations organizations that mean well organizations that seem to mean well and unfortunately they have stopped seeing the clear difference between Jews and Christians and many times you see that sometimes the rabbi is leading the organization but he's accepting the Christian money so for example what came to my attention recently I mean I knew there was always an issue with the company because their translations weren't reliable but for example there is safaria the internet app that has countless books Jewish books on it safaria is a very common organiz you know application or website that people go to to find Jewish text many times that has translation to English many times they have many many books I have used it myself many times in the past and I've seen that sometimes their translations are not really reliable because they use the uh reform uh uh reform uh translation sometimes which is by JPS that's known to be unreliable from 35 years ago so even when things were corrected and updated they still did not update it but that I never had anything against them I thought it was useful and literally until recently I used it once in a blue moon Whenever there was a need I searched I looked I found no problem but then you started seeing something change as the organization changed as the organization grew and the fundraisers became much more rampant and apparently the need for money became more rampant apparently their uh exceptions uh also started becoming more frequent and recently they started uh allowing Christian commentary on the Jewish books so you'll find for example in Tel you'll find that they have commentary from Christian Source mentioning how Jesus was all for mitv and even so many words promoting Christianity so when this was brought to the attention of the company not only did they I deny this they said yeah this is fine we we're okay with it we want we want the Jews to have the scope of everything all scopes of things meaning if the commentary will come from Rashi rambam ran you know but also the the ath the Christians all that too what the problem what why why why you complaining isn't this giving you a uh a better uh better understanding of all the different thoughts and theologies we' have simply lost ourselves abai we've lost ourselves we started accepting Christian money there's literally 40 million dollar a year $40 million a year coming from the Christian church just for tourism I'm not counting all the other money just for tourism there are many organizations in Israel that are literally I spoke to just in the last few days they outright accept money from Christian churches outright no and they're religious organizations we're not talking about oh this is a secular organization they feed the poor so who cares where it's coming from oh this one is uh trying to fix the water who cares where the money's come I'm talking about religious Jewish organizations are accepting money from the Christian Christian church and everybody is just closing the eye as if it's not happening first and foremost you have to understand you're not allowed to accept Christian money if the guy practiced Christianity you're not allowed to accept the money it's forbidden second of all always have to know when a Christian donates money he's not donating because he cares about your God or cares about your people he cares about his God and His God Is Not the Same God is ours so by getting money from Christianity you're benefiting from idolatry now there may be some Christians that are fantastic people but their belief is upside down and until they do chuva you cannot accept their money I don't care how much money there is and how much you need it anyone that has ever seen the campaigns by Rabbi tovia singer he's doing Aliah right now leaving Indonesia after a fivey year extraordinary mission anytime he's done campaigns he doesn't do campaigns to raise money often but anytime that you see campaigns he always has like a small print or even in a video because he talks to a lot of Christians he says if you're non-jewish please help us but if you're Christian we don't want your money you can continue watching but we don't want your money please don't donate that's is he didn't have to say it he could just pretend like it didn't happen he just pretend like oh yeah I know he's Christian but I don't really care why do I care he already tells him we can't don't don't send money even though that's probably 50% of his audience because they're trying to rebuke him and they're trying to go against him and so on and so forth so of course you can have enemies more often but the point being is that you have to understand once you start seeing Jewish organizations ignore the fact that Christian money is a problem you have a very serious problem Shalom will finish with this story writes in his book in his bio he says that at that time there was religious Jewish organization that was contemplating joining the V was contemplating joining the V which was a secular organization and Shalom wrote a public letter several of them and one of the letters he says the following for all of those people that think that okay listen maybe if you are secular and they are maybe if you're religious but they're Idol worshippers or they're Heretics or they're just simply secular and ignorant if you join them maybe you could influence them if you accept these Christians or these atheists or these Lefty liberals into your board of directors maybe the K Torah is going to influence them in a positive way was literally writing a prophecy here because that's ended up what ended up what happened he says since it's well known that it's forbidden to join such people even to perform a mitvah I don't know what I can add but those who agree to such a step of joining between meaning the religious and the non-religious parties should be informed that they are going to lead the public astray they're from now on going to be considered what about their argument that now we're going to have an equal voice so you follow he says as to their argument that they will now have an equal voice in making decisions they are diluted we must always remember the basic difference between the Heretics and a devout while the Heretics are totally Heretics meaning if somebody's an idol worshiper he's 100% Idol worshipper if he's a heretic he's 100% heretic if he exm he's against hasm 100% The Devout the righteous are not necessarily totally devout so even though the idol worshiper is 100% Idol worshiper the secular is 100% secular the one that's really religious he's not 100% religious it's not 100% religious why says as the said we all have some degree of secularism in ourselves all of us have a little bit a little bit about that we still want to do like a secular person you want to listen to the music of the go you want to wear the clothes sometimes oh this it I know it's a short skirt but it's really nice it's really nice I know it's a play and it has men and women kissing and stuff but I heard it's a really good play I know it's movies are not really a place to go but my kids really like it and so on and so forth each one of us have a little bit of secular in us a little heretic in us so says that each one of us have a degree of secularism in ourselves but consequently if the number of people on both sides are equal the decision will always Veer towards their side meaning even if you have a thousand Heretics and a thousand religious the decision will always be towards the Heretics why because the Heretics always going to always going to vote for the heretic the religious are not always going to vote for the religious because some part of them out of the Thousand 10% 15% 50% still they like the heretic a little bit they like the Greek a little bit they want to play sports on Shabbat they wanna you know they want to look like gim a little bit so they wear you know the suits that are like you know fitted like this like you want to see the rib cage of the guy of the rabbi you want to see her rib cage that's how tight their suits are they they want they like they like the fashion models a little fashionista he shows you T what DK just D not Gucci like they know that stuff they like it that's a problem that's a problem why because that means it's never going to be 50-50 it's always going to be towards the bad side and that's where he gives a he says this this is the big most common sense K in history but it's Priceless says one who touches on who touches Holiness does not become holy like if you touch a seph t unlike what people think you're going to touch seph T you're gonna kiss your hand all you're kissing is your hand you're not kissing is still holy you still may be you don't become Kad because you you can take this 2000 you kiss it from tomorrow it doesn't make you holy thear is Holy you can become holy if you learn and follow what thear says but just by holding it nothing changes in fact you can ruin it but on the other hand says someone who touches T someone who touches impurity becomes impure immediately you touch a dead body immediately impure touch a dead animal immediately impure you're associated with impurity you're going to a place where there a dead you're not even touching the body but you're inside a place a house closed there's a roof there's a dead body in it you become impure even without touching it so impurity by touching you're for sure becoming impure K you don't become it's not so easy why because Kus you have to attain you have to attain this and he says human associ Association is the same just because you are friends with all of these rabbis all of these and you donate money to the and some of the money is going to go help kids do chuva and some of the money is going to help people learn Torah that's not going to make you holy that's not going to make you holy what's GNA make you holy if you learn the to yourself if you attain the Kus yourself and you do those things but what can make you for sure without an exception is if you associate with people that are even if you give money to the even if you give money to the even if you give money to homeless people even if you help people and even if you learn to you associate with Heretics you associate with tum by default immediately you become t signed and a student people thought they were crazy they didn't listen Holocaust happened a few years later since then we've had a spiritual Holocaust inter marriage is literally at an alltime high worse than what it was before the Holocaust part of the fault is because we have simply forgotten that there's supposed to be a boundary of separation between us and the other religions you could befriend them from a distance you could work with them in order to bring peace overall but to start accepting their money having them on the board of directors having them as part of our educational system all of that you're breaking all boundaries you're breaking all and that's why even in places like the UK it is acceptable behavior for the head Rabbi to go inside a church and give lectures on an annual basis even though according to it's forbidden 100% it's Ass by All de they walk in there give a to their brothers the Christians and Catholics we've literally lost our mind now all of this comes because we have no when it comes to money that's how it connects to everything we learned today we think that we need Christian money in order to achieve Jewish causes we think we need Christian money in order to achieve Jewish peace we need Christian this and Christian that in order for the Jews to be protected in the IDF and in is and so on and so forth we forget who's running the world I had a Jewish guy on the phone three weeks ago argue with me that accepting and and and actually promoting the church is good for Jewish causes why because it's the Christians that are actually helping the White House make decisions that are favorable for this is a religious person telling me this if this is the type of religious people that we have today we are in much worse problems than I ever thought now it's important that every Jew learn it's important that every je every Jew learn but not just for your own individualistic purpose of where you're going to get p and not to get into a depression and not to lose your mind if you lost your job no it's not just for that it's also to know that all of the obstacles that are in front of you are coming from the same Source that's going to give you the Salvation when he gives you an opportunity to accept money from a church that's simply a test to see if you believe in him or money which God do you believe in if you believe in the god of Israel you will never accept it if it's coming from an uncer Source if you know the money comes from idolatry you can never accept it if you believe in God if you don't believe in God but you believe in money then you'll accept anything you'll accept money from Hitler you'll accept money from uh I you'll accept money from Ham you accept money from anybody anything that moves and that's the problem at some point a person needs to do some self- accounting what do I actually believe and every time a person donates money to any organization they also have to do the why because if you're also funding an organization that is doing things that are anti tah guess what you are also anti so if this organization that you love so much but they don't teach the truth they just teach people they should do one two or three put a wig on so you cover your hair modesty doesn't matter to them anymore put some on if you want but if you don't want to we still love you make sure you eat kosher and uh just sing with us that's it what about Shabbat no Shabbat whenever you're ready what about whenever you're ready what about learning tah you know like learn T whenever you get a chance what about telling people to do cha no every Jew is okay but doesn't say he's okay you donate to such an organization guess what you're part of the criminal you're part of the crime there are countless organizations like this don't think that I'm naming one particular almost all the big ones are like this they tell you they focus on one two some or some one line that they came up with unity Unity Unity but guess what they're destroying left and right why you see the to you see what they have on their website they have a bunch of naked people on their website the trips they fund they only fund ways for people to make more sins against the Torah the next generation of people next generation of people all of them off the death not in Shabbat even I had a young man talked to me from last week in New York he says listen we all went to Yesa University he says me and all my friends he says every single one of my friends is off the every one of them because I'm the only one that's keeping Shabbat still he say it all started with some crazy person's leniency that you're allowed to smoke a uh electron IC cigarette on Shabbat Jewel or something it's called you're allowed to smoke cigarette which is not no one ever said this but somebody said that somebody said this and since they said they rationalized themselves well listen the rabbi never said anything to the guy that was driving on Shabbat so I'm not driving on Shabbat I'm just smoking a cigarette on Shabbat that's electric cigarette it's raanan they start rationing the next thing you know none of them are keeping Shabbat at all some of them are even with go funding organizations with your hardworking money that are constantly doing things that are against the toah makes you a partner to the crime if the organization accepts Christian money if the organization promotes Christianity and Christian works if they even see them on an even playing field and does not outright say listen this is your world this is our world we don't necessarily need to go into fist fight or anything but you do your thing we do our thing and that's it you stay in your church we start in our synagogues finished we're not going after your people don't go after mine obviously the Christians will never agree to such a thing because part of their mission is to missionizing if your organization that you are donating money to does not see what I'm saying and thinks that what I'm saying is going to promote hate or anti-Semitism that means that they're already accepting money and they can't even see straight you have to understand before mashia comes every one of us is going to have to make a choice are you 100% for hasem meaning not just if you're fulfilling MIT not just if you're following the Torah as far as you're keeping Shabbat thank you for keeping Shabbat but are you fulfilling the Torah meaning that you believe 100,000% that Hashem runs the world and you're not afraid of anything but him you're not afraid of what the neighbor is going to say you're not afraid of what this one's going to say or that one's going to say a Jew has to at least aspire to get to that state of mind to that level of clarity because as long as you do not put a line of separation between you and the rest of the world guess what you're just like them just like them and if you're this way your kids will be much worse than you and that's what's happening now that's why a kid that went to Yesa for 15 years in my uh trip to New York uh a few weeks ago kid went to is 15 years he's with a non-jew for three years already he sees no problem with it sees no problem with it I said yeah but you went to Yesa for 15 years he goes where I want to yes to become a robot he goes I don't understand anything that I did said yeah but you reading the Sido he goes I read the Sido I know how to make the sounds I don't understand a single word so you see right now you have to double check who are you donating money to are you donating money to a place that's promoting Christianity are you donating money to a rabbi that calls himself a rabbi but says things that are against the Torah which unfortunately there are many of those too some that say that there's no such thing as punishment some that say that everybody is the same some that say all types of things that are against the toah are you donating to such an organization or such a rabbi if you are guess what you are part of the crime you're a partner and that's what people need to start realizing because if you're going to already work and not learn all day you're gon to have to use that money effectively if you're going to use that money effectively and you're going to donate part of that money make sure you're donating that money to a place that's appropriate I don't care who you donated to this is not like a promotion for us this is simply to stop promoting things that are against the Torah because there's so much money going there already that it's literally not only creating a a a but it's also desecrating our nation on a regular basis where you have guys that have do not know right or left they don't know the difference Jewish communities do not see the difference and it's time we start waking up and realizing that we have to have from from beginning to end you don't need to start making Wars with anybody you don't need to start becoming an anti-missionary or start battling people on the internet quite frankly I think people that argue on the internet are just wasting their life one side has one opinion the other side has a different opinion even if one of them is right the other side doesn't care so why you arguing when was the last time you actually won an argument on the internet and the guy changed the next day he's back to his old self the next day he's back to being a heretic again how do I know this I tried this a million times it doesn't work it doesn't work people do not change via debates on the internet these public comments that people go oh I hate you oh I hate you oh you're stupid oh you're ugly oh but I believe this but I believe that and they go back and forth about countless different topics whether it's Christianity and Judaism wigs versus the the uh TI or I don't know whatever you want to just pick a topic and there's countless arguments about it and guess what it's all one big waste of time stamp why because if you're wasting your time debating these people you're not learning to and it's not K because no one does Chua no one does Chua from these public comments it's just one big disaster this just one big waste of time the internet is there to distribute information if you want to write something up write post leave you want to make a video make a video record post leave let them comment until they're blue in the face they hate you they like you they agree with you disagree with you don't waste your time debating people on the internet not this recording not another recording it's a complete waste of time make sure your time is not wasted your money is not wasted and your life is not wasted that's why we have that's necessary part of our life every day to know that it's not only that Hashem will bring us salvation but also it's the same Hashem that's watching us monitoring us and literally writing down every single thing that we do every day if you think like that that he's watching everything you'll act accordingly before you sin before you curse before you yell before you cheat before you donate before you don't donate before you steal before you return something stolen before every single act we have to get to that point and one of the biggest ways that people that are in a business world have to work on is when it comes to money who is your client who do you deal with what kind of job do you have these are all things that are necessary the more a person has the more results he will get in his life that's what we'll expand on next week uh we have uh tomorrow we're going to New York so I'm not going to be here on Tuesday uh Tuesday I'll be in New York doing a couple of sh you'll be able to watch online we have shim tomorrow uh in New York as well as on Tuesday but I'll be back on Wednesday over here at the same time we'll have our questions and answers and then we have sh sh is in a few days maybe on on Wednesday we'll go over some questions but also a few things for sh thank you for learning with Meen good uh yes and no I mean yes there is specific things that U you uh can do for certain sins but there's a general CH love for everything which is first stop first stop second learn about it uh you know as much as you can to know for coming I didn't expect you tonight you surprised me I had to I also had to give you round two from should told me to come here I would so uh stop learn about it gives you to not stopping commit to to stopping um and then uh everything do everything you possibly can to get other people to stop which means that try to do whatever you can to uh do CU for this specific thing um if there is a uh book that specifically talks about this or a rabbi that talks about has lectures about it or CD whatever it is so promoting that stuff doing kiru and that's a uh that's the other thing there's also um fasts that the uh Aral discusses for each specific sin but our generation is so weak that for most people it's not really relevant I can fast I went crazy last year because I couldn't use so yeah but fasting and still being a uh functional yeah can you still be functional if you fast or you sleep all day I probably sleep all day so be functional meaning if you're going to fast it want to be a day of spirituality meaning it's a day that you're learning all day not just a day that you're just not eating it's just the diet right so the point of uh fast according to the tah is to uh do everything you possibly can to fulfill the Torah and not just diet plan uh IDE ideally the best thing is to uh learn about it stop it and promote other people doing Chua those are the uh three main things and obviously the more you learn about it the more you regret the sin uh and that's gives you the four uh four pillars of of CH for pretty much everything until I got yeah so that's it there you go somebody did it to promote it to get it to you now you here every time you learn this Sho it helps him or her whoever whoever it is that promot it for for that thing to get you that's the uh that's the Cure that's the cure that how it going on with the work did you find a job yet not really job but you don't like it I don't like it I don't know necessarily they're messing with me or not mess with you's what's it for them I haven't figured it out yet okay how long you there for just a couple days okay just probably seeing if proba stick around or not I mean see see what um you know stick around there see what other people are doing what other people say about the company well when I he said I would have to work Saturdays and he said week Saturday mandatory I didn't I didn't go not right hopefully oh okay say yeah it's a uh yeah I mean if they want you to work Shabbat then that's it's not a a job that's just a test right it's not a job but if they uh this is somebody's I have okay good no it's not just leave it till next time good finish all of them I finished the one the thicker with the hard Cofe okay good listen keep going keep going you're going in the right direction that's the that's the best thing you're going in the right direction the the solution is not overnight takes a little time but you're going in the right direction you're getting better you're learning more you're doing more that's it that's all hasm wants he's not expecting you to become mosenu overnight he knows what he created if he wanted you to be Moshe he would have created Moshe again if he wanted you to uh you know to be a robot he created a robot so he knows what he created he knows you have obstacles uh all he wants you is to keep growing keep getting better uh that's why he says if you walk with meaning you keep progressing you're getting better so you keep getting better that's it the good things will follow just a uh have some patience and uh better times are ahead better times are ahead just uh keep going straight don't uh don't give up all right don't give up 10 I have to sit
