[Music] tool to Okay, sounds good. [Music] Thank you very much. S Rosie [Music] Mr. Julio, good to see you guys. Kosher Kid, I haven't seen you before, Mr. Anonymous. Nice to see you. Don't know who you are. No, the Torah does not support that community. to everyone. Tonight we're going to have another sh another amazing sh that we're going to learn together about the holy of and his war of series. Tonight's show is going to be for the forum. And a very very very special thank you to all of those that support the organization. May Hashem bless each and every single one of you. thousandfold of what you donate to the organization uh in this world and endless fold uh in the next world. uh appreciate everybody donating and supporting and more of you will uh will do that as well especially in the uh campaign that we have right now in the uh uh for the to help uh poor families in anyone that wants to help us feed them help them financially uh this week is the week we're doing it and we will succeed also for anyone who hasn't ordered the uh the books yet they from the Kiru store they're going out faster then they're coming in. And there's a lot of orders. So, if you have ordered yet, you'll get it. Don't worry. If you haven't gotten it yet, you'll get it. If um you haven't ordered yet, order as soon as possible because supplies run out eventually. So, uh you have an opportunity to go to kofstore.org, order the new uh books that we have over there, the anti-manis book, uh the uh the books uh that we have of Rabbi Frame. Uh we'll have some more stuff on the store very soon. Uh so you could order as soon as possible. And of course the uh the best thing to give to your community are these uh Kiru cards that we have tuna cards. It's simply from from my perspective it's the best investment in the world. That's why we keep doing it. It's cheap. It's efficient and it's gets results. Literally you can get a box of them. It's only comes 10 in a box. You put them in 10 different locations and literally you can get uh I would say no less than 20 to uh to a couple of hundred ballet chuva from each one of those boxes. So people that uh have a uh have a literally will make it uh part of their day-to-day and uh order as many of those as possible because they're effective. They help people. Uh and they also promote our aside from the film of Tikunit, they also promote the AI rabbi app that you can download and subscribe to at a rabbi.org. So with that being said, let's get started. We have a continuation a continuation of what we started last week uh whereas told us that all of the efforts of money, time, attention, cavode that is given to these messengers whether they are Jewish politicians or non-Jewish politicians these influencers these uh uh Shapiro of the world, the pl pragers of the world and other politicians. All of that investment that the Jewish community puts into those types of people is for not. It's a waste, a waste of effort, a waste of money. Nothing good will ever come out of it. And he said the first sign the first sign that you see that this is a person that is not looking for the greater good of am is simply put he is looking for the opposite of what the Jewish leaders throughout our history our Torah sages what do they look for he is looking for an he's looking for himself whereas the Jewish leaders were looking for others so the more time politics take up in people's minds and today it's more than ever people literally are into politics where they pay attention to what was announced every single day in the white house and the blue house and the red house and any other house that talks politics they know more about politicians than they know about throughout history and uh a lot of time is spent on politics people have an opinion about politics whether it's Israeli politics Russian politics uh you know American politics politics in all different countries around the world, people spend an enormous amount of effort in politics and politicians and always think that they have the solution that if they get their guy in power on this seat on the throne, then we're going to win as a nation. And the truth is, it's surprising to those people when they hear how and other great Torah sages completely rejected the proposed benefits to be gained from these politicians, Jewish or Gentile. Tonight we're going to dig a little deeper into this rationale behind the words of the rav and even learn an extraordinary from the aboutu and what are the requirements for success as a leader of the Jewish people. Highly recommend you share this lecture with anyone you know that still has a pulse because it's certainly going to be words that can shape your ideology. So the told us as I said the leaders the messengers that people are spending all their money donating to them are constantly looking for themselves. This is the opposite of what the leaders of Israel have done and he gives us an example. Mosher Rabenu. Who is better than Mosherenu? The leader of all leaders, the prophet of all prophets. Mosherenu. He says Mosherenu. No one was ever or will ever be like him. How great he was. Yet in his own eyes, he was as humble as can possibly be. the humblest man that ever lived or ever will live. And if you compare that to the greatest leaders of the Gentiles in history and they used to say about themselves, everyone is a zero in comparison to us. So here we see a ideological difference between the two. On one end is telling us that investing into politicians or influencers or power brokers or whatever it may be is a waste of effort because they look for this ani and he wants to give us the example of the greatest leader we ever had Mosherenu. And Mosher Rabenu's most well-known character trait is his humility. So as great as he was, I mean literally he was powerful. He was the wisest of all. In fact says that when we say that was the wisest man of all. It's not compared to Mosherenu. But you said the wisest man of all. Yes. Of all men. Mosher Rabenu was not considered a regular person. He was considered half angel, half person. That's how he elevated himself. He's talking to Hashem like you talk to your friend. Why wouldn't he think he's greater than everybody else? And if you look at the leaders that conquered the entire world, you can't say that Donald Trump is the greatest leader ever. He hasn't conquered the entire world. You can't say that was the greatest leader. He hasn't conquered the entire world. But the goim did have a couple of leaders that conquered the entire world and who said about themselves their ego as a result of their accomplishments as a result of things that were material allowed them to believe that literally everyone was a zero next to them. But their end was a destruction. While the end of Mosheu was the complete salvation of Am the freedom of slaves for the first and last time in history where the slaves became the masters and his name is known by every person on planet earth throughout all of history both Jews and Gentiles. His teachings are learned every single second this world exists. But he was humble. It's the opposite of them. In fact, in says that was not just the Messiah that took us out of Egypt and brought us to salvation back then, but rather he will be the last Messiah. He will be the Messiah. And we get this from a hint to this. What was is what will be and the first letter of mash is mesh. What was the past mashia that we had that brought us out of Egypt? Who is what is going to be? He is actually the Messiah. So I know that a lot of people may be disappointed because they thought their rabbi is going to be Msiah or or or or their father or they are the Messiah. But no, Mosherenu is gonna be Msiah. That's what says. And the reason says the reason why Mosher Rabenu has not come yet is because Mosherenu refuses to come so long as Am is lazy when it comes to learning Torah and doing he doesn't want to come and bring salvation to a bunch of lugards, a bunch of people that are too busy watching sports instead of learning Torah. One time Kabadnik came to invite Rab Fry our own very dear Rab Fry Kakon Gon giant among giants that most people don't even realize what they have in their hands in this generation and I'm not saying it because he's just simply my rabbi simply because if you learn his Torah you understand very quickly one of my favorite things in the world has been to see when opened his book for The first time I remember one time there was a event of rabbis that I was invited to and it was a bunch the whole place was full of and they didn't know I brought some of his books to the event and I gave it to some of the diane the people that were on stage and as people were giving speeches of course the diane you What are they going to do? They're open the book. There's a book in front of them. They start reading it and the joy that I had looking at their faces like like literally they just discovered the greatest treasure they ever saw in their life. But most people are not familiar with it. And therefore you could have that are giants among giants sitting right next to you in you wouldn't even know giants that are giving shim giants that are leading synagogues. But unfortunately many times are sometimes restricted to the of the board the people or whatever it is. Either way, eventually the sun rises. That's what the one of said when uh a bunch of a bunch of people came to him to get his signature to sign against Ra when he was still young but already was recognized as one of Israel. Recognized as somebody as very special. He said, "We want you to sign against them because he said something against what we believe." He laughs at them. He says, "You want to put a net on the sun after it rose? Eventually, the sun rises." Anyway, this one Kabadnik came to Rabim to invite him what? To invite him for what? to invite him to a what he called sudat mashiach a feast for the mashiach you know in in essence celebrating the mashiach is gonna come obviously he believed that this rabbi that has passed away for over 30 years is the msiah but nonetheless he says I want to invite you to come to mashiach we're having it at the kabad house in Israel I'm sorry I cannot come why not mashiach he says I have something more important to do I have to go learn just learn to no it's more important to have a feast for the Msiah to come he says no according to the and according to the and according to the and according to every major proc in the history of Israel there's nothing greater than learning Torah and in fact since the mashiach is not going to come until we learn Torah properly. I have to go learn Torah to bring close to Mashiach says the Mashiach and he's not going to come until we start learning Torah more seriously instead of having you know other things like feasts. So this got upset. No, why did say such a thing? Mashia is never going to come then says listen I didn't say it said you have a problem you go go to I don't know if you want to deal with him because he wrote in his called in that anyone who rejects his words not for the sake of heaven meaning just because they want to disagree they want they uh for not for the sake of heaven He says, "I will personally have to deal with them. They'll deal with me as I will uproot them from the world and annihilate them." This he's talking about after he passed away already. So you want to mess with disagree with them, go ahead, have fun. The kabadnik wasn't too happy, but he didn't have much to say. reality is sitting and learning the Torah is much more important. And Mosherenu his humility was beyond anything that we can possibly comprehend as the midrash says that it wasn't just his humility next to the greatness of his brother Aun who himself was also very humble. Despite his greatness, his humility was not great only next to let's say Yeshua Benoon whose humility was also unbelievable. His humility wasn't only next to if he compared himself to our forefathers. No, Musherenu thought of himself as even below someone that had now someone that has always makes me laugh during the shim. We have he says someone has doesn't really have much to be proud about. I mean even if his uh nose is very high in the air eventually falls off because of theat looks at his no falls on the floor. Someone has his body falls apart. But Mosheu found something in that person that was greater than him. Something like that. We cannot understand. And we see that humility is not something that just happened. Rather says this is the main condition for a leader of the Jewish community to succeed. He must delay his personal benefit and personal good for the sake of the masses. And this is how it has been with our nation's leaders forever. So we see from here that humility is not just something that's a good recommendation but rather a prerequisite for anyone who is looking to lead the Jewish people whether it's the entire people or even a small group of Jews. you want to lead them the first requirement if you want to succeed I mean you can lead them with without this requirement you're just going to fail eventually it's going to explode and it's going to be a disaster they may become heretics they may become uh secular they may become atheists they may even convert to different religions if you do it otherwise but if you want to succeed leading the Jewish people humility is an absolute must and It's seen by your sacrifice of your own personal benefit and good for the sake of the benefit of the masses, the benefit of those you lead. And this is how it has been for our nation's leaders forever. The inot page 10A gives us a story that will give us a little bit more insight of what leadership is in the eyes of the Torah versus what people view as leadership today. The secret says a story where there was one time an incident of Gamil and Rabu who got on a ship at the same time was the Ni. He was the king. He was going for the sake of am to go perhaps speak to the Roman Caesar, do things that are necessary for the benefit of the nation. Yesua on the other hand was going to collect daka was going to make money to make a living and they happened to be on the same ship. Bengalier brought with him a few loaves of bread. He figured he's going to be on a ship for couple of days. He only needs a few loaves of bread. Yeshua, on the other hand, says, brought bread, but also a bunch of flour because he assumed that he's going to have to make bread. He's going to run out of bread. And to just bring more bread is not a good idea because it'll get moldy. Whereas flour stays fresh and you could make bread later on, even if it's a week later. After a few days, they didn't get to their destination. And Raban Gaml finished his bread. He looked at and Yeshua is happy. Oh, don't worry. I have I got you. I got a bunch of flour. What kind of bread do you want? You want lafa? Do you want pizza? What do you want? I'll make it for you. Was surprised. What did you have or something? And you knew that we're going to have such a long delay to our destination that you ended up bringing so much flour. How did you How did you know? How did you know to bring flour? I mean, this trip of taking it at a thousand times takes three days. The three days have passed. We're nowhere even close. But you have enough. How did you know? This as a side note shows that even the tan we're able to resurrect the dead and certainly had showed that doesn't work on demand where whenever you want it you have it. So Gabriel didn't know this is going to happen but Yeshua apparently did this knew that this is going to happen. So says, "How do you know?" Yeshua says to him, "There's one star that rises once every 70 years and misleads the sailors." And I thought to myself, according to the calculations that I had, perhaps the star is going to rise during our journey on the ship and is going to mislead the the mislead us because the way that the ship captain knows where he's going. There's no roads, there's no navigation system. The way they know is they look at the stars, position of the stars. They know this is north, this is south, and so on. That's how they know where to go. But says, "Yeah, but there's one star that appears only once every 70 years." So it could appear to them and it'll look like something else. So they'll think, "Oh, wait. This is the wrong direction." And they'll turn around and instead of really going in the right direction, they're going back. by the time they realize they've already lost two, three days of time. So it's a problem. But this happens only once every 177 years. When heard this, he was even more enamored. You have such wisdom yet you're boarding a ship to go earn a livelihood. Meaning says you're a genius. You're how you have this calculation. You know all this information and you're going you're struggling for money that you need to go on a ship which is dangerous. In those days it was very dangerous to travel by ship. You could be one of the great rabbis of the generation. Yesua answers him. Before you wonder too much about me, you should wonder about two disciples that you actually have and who possess so much wisdom that they know how to estimate how many drops there are in the ocean. Meaning their wisdom is literally immeasurable. These two have wisdom that you cannot comprehend at all. Yet says Joshua, they do not have bread to eat or clothes to wear. In essence, Rabi Yeshua held that sustenance is not dependent on merit. rather it's dependent on mazal. So even though these are two giant they're as poor as can possibly be took note of this and decided that as soon as he gets back he is going to put both of these in a position of power so they can make a living. So as soon as he got back, he sent them a message to come. He wants to give them a position of authority. But they didn't come. Didn't come. He sent them another message. And this time they said, "Listen, we can't not come anymore." So they came and immediately realized they didn't come because they were too humble to accept a such a position where they're going to get so much honor. So he quickly says to them, "Oh, you didn't come because it seems to you that I'm offering you a position of authority. That's why you didn't come at first and you're fleeing from honor. But that's a mistake. I'm offering you servitude is what I'm giving you. Being a leader of the Jewish people is not honor. It's servitude. As the Torah says in the book of Kings 1 12:7, they spoke to him saying, "If today you become a servant to this nation, what is this about?" After Schlomik died, the people came and they wanted his son who became the new king to lower the taxes. Soam went to the said what should I do? Theim told him be a servant to the people. Help them. Plead with them. Humble yourself. If you have to lower, lower. Yes. Whatever is necessary to help the people. Theam also went to the politicians. He went to Shapiro and Prager and the rest of the missionaries and he asked them, "What do you think I should do with the people?" And they told, "No, you want to lead. You want to be a leader and not everybody always thinking about your father. He's the son of Slam, but you want to be somebody that everybody remembers." Be bold. Be strong. Be tough with the people. Tell them that if they don't pay these 150% tariffs, no more trades. And unfortunately, listen to the politicians. And what happened? This opened up the door of opportunity for Benat who was a great but a big who became a king empowered himself and the kinghood of Davidid was broken into two. Many followed and eventually he led them to idol worship. So says to you think that being a Jewish leader is honor. It's servitude. It's servitude. Now when you see what said about the you see also a little bit of a difference from where they were and where we are today. What did complain about that they don't have? They don't have food to eat and clothes to where it's not like today where kid says ima I'm hungry. Okay hungry go. There's a bunch of things in the fridge. There's a bunch of things I cooked today. Kid looks at the fridge, closes it two seconds later. Looks at the pot. The brand new food she made. Nah, it's no good. This is not food. I'm going to go I'm going to order pizza. I'm going to go eat some shama. There's no food here. No, there's a lot of food. I just cooked. No, no, no. It's not food. People sometimes are spoiled. And if it's not the food that's particularly in line with their taste buds, it's considered nothing. Also said they didn't have clothes. It's like today where you have an event, it's coming up in a few days and all of a sudden you see your wife is upset, full of anxiety. Honey, what's wrong? What happened? The kids okay? Yes, they're fine. They're fine. Your parents are okay. Yeah, they're fine. They're fine. They're fine. What's wrong then? What's wrong? Why? No, this I don't know. I'm stressing out. Why? Why are you stressing out? It's not our We're going to We're going there. All we have to do is show up, eat, same as Alto. That's it. No, I have nothing to wear. No, you open the closet. Literally, it's Macy's. 500 dresses of every single possible color. But she says, "I have nothing to wear. Nothing to wear. Why isn't this good? No. No. I wore this once. When did you wear it? Last year in such people saw me in this dress already. Oh, so it goes bad after one time use. It's disposable. What about this one? No, no, this one. I wore it already to sim. That one? No, that one is my Shabbat dress. That one? No, that one is only for bar mitzvah. That one? No, that one is for graduation. Yeah, but all of our kids are little. They're they're five, six, and seven years old. What graduation of of what? Of of kindergarten? No. No. A graduation from from Yeshiva. Oh, so this dress is for 20 years from now. I'm saving it. I have nothing to wear now. Times have changed. But sometimes if we don't acknowledge that we have to change then we repeat the same mistakes. is telling us that the leaders of our nation over the generations knew that in order to succeed, sacrifice for the sake of the people is a prerequisite. No different than breathing every day. Now, each person that says, "Oh my, we have a leader in our community. We have a board of directors. We have a rabbi. That's great that you have all of those things. But what defines their leadership? Is it is your definition of leadership because they have that position that they sit on the stage during the speeches? Or is it because they're the ones that make the most sacrifices for the sake of the people? Are they making sacrifices for you or are they just simply writing the checks for whatever they please? On the other hand says, if you look at the politicians, you look at the influencers who roam freely, meaning they do whatever they want. They do it for their own benefit. Meaning their leadership is not for the benefit of the people. Their benefit their the reason why they're a politician. The reason why they are a news anchor, a leader of some kind, why? It's not because they want to help the people like they say in their speeches. It's not because they love the people and they're sacrificing everything for the people. No, has nothing to do with it. It's for themselves. The whole thing's a show of saying that it's uh I'm doing it for the people. No, it's for their own benefit. And if you compare these people to the real Jewish leaders throughout history, they do not size up to even the smallest of the small leaders we've had, says because the politicians do not sacrifice any of their own joy or lusts and desires. They're not willing to sacrifice anything and would never sacrifice themsel for the sake of the good of the public. Rather, the opposite is true. The benefit and the good of the masses gets deferred and disregarded for the sake of the politician's intent and interest. So what profit can you ever get from such messengers, from such leaders who always are the usual suspects of being the ones who sold out the masses for their own gain. These are the words of this is the rationale behind why it doesn't matter who the leader is whether he's Jewish or not Jewish religious or not if he is not acting living breathing even in his role of leadership then he's simply doing it for his own interest and a politician's a politician politician, he'll sell out the whole country for the sake of his chair. And as they say, before the elections, even the walls talk to you. Why? Because before the elections, there's so much advertising and marketing. Every wall is full of posters. Vote for me. Vote for me. The the other guy is a bad guy. I'm the good guy. Every wall has this stuff today. It's text messages, emails, news, everything. The walls are full of it. Even the walls are talking to you, telling you who to vote for. After the elections though, all of those promises that they said, all of a sudden you see, no, they didn't happen. So, you ask him question. Hey, listen. Uh, Mr. Politician, Mr. President, Mr. Official, Mr. board member. Remember you said talk to the wall before the election. The walls are talking to you. After the elections, talk to the wall. And that's all due to the fact that leader from the perspective of Torah is someone that's willing to sacrifice the most. In fact, Kazal tell us that if it wasn't for Mosherenu Israel would still be in Egypt as slaves until this day, 3,300 plus years later. Why? Because no one was willing to die for Isel until Mosherenu came. In essence, what our sages teach us, what is teaching us is that if you're not willing to sacrifice for the sake of the masses, don't be a Jewish leader because your leadership will mislead people and you'll end up in gay as a result. Now the is an extraordinary a million dollars minimum is what it's worth. Certainly something you've never heard and something I only learned now in his introduction to he says something that if he didn't say it you couldn't even think of it. He says, "Of course, the level of prophecy that Abrahamu had was no less than the later prophets which were his descendants, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. They all spoke to Hashem. They they had messages of what's going to happen in the future. So of course Abraham was no less than them. Yet Abrainu did not attain access to this prophecy. Why not? Because he did not have time to do the preparations that are required to receive prophecy. Because prophecy is not like in uh people's imaginations where you know you're sleeping and all of a sudden God comes to you and talks to you or uh you're walking around all of a sudden you hear a message. Yes. Yes. Who is it? Who is it? It's your son. Why? Why you have that voice? Oh, I had something in my mouth. Oh, okay. Fine. People think sometimes people are talking to them. Usually it's either they have shadim in their in their mind because of all the tuma or because their kids are playing a joke on them. Ainu this is kodesim our forefathers. Certainly he had no less prophecy than his descendants that were prophets. But yet he did not attain it because he did not have time to prepare himself. You have to clean yourself. You have to purify yourself. You have to meditate. Do all types of things in order to receive prophecy. This is also one of the things that distinguished Moshe Rabenu from everyone else. All of the other prophets received their prophecy while they were laying down, while they were out. Whereas Moshe Rabenu was able to walk around and speak to Hashem, something unlike anybody else before or after him. But even Moshe Rabenu had to prepare before Hashem would speak to him. This is the reason why Hashem told Mosherenu and he is the only one he told this to that he should leave his wife. Why? Because the preparation that's required if you're married takes longer than the preparation if you're not married because of the issues of purity and impurity. And Hashem says, "I want to talk to you all the time. Whenever I feel like it, I want to talk to I don't want to wait for you 2 days, 3 days for you prepare. I want to talk to you whenever. So, I can't have anything get in the way. Leave your wife. Therefore, you're always pure. I can talk to you all the time. Like, we're friends. If you read some of the things that the midash, the uh um uh lots of talk about the relationship between the conversations between Hashem and Rabenu. It's literally like like unbelievable relationship. And this was due to the sacrifice that Moshe Rabenu had to make on our daily basis living with no wife. Who can do that by choice? So now my beloved as great as he was and the access to prophecy that he had he did not attain it because he didn't have time to prepare himself why why didn't Abraham have time I mean this is great things you could elevate yourself you could you could do all types of amazing things you could learn. Elevate your Torah of what are you doing that is so it's keeping you so busy that you cannot talk to Hashem says theamu did not have time to prepare himself to receive the prophecy. Why? because he was always teaching and serving his students and helping the masses get closer to Hashem. In fact, even when himself came to speak to Abrainu, in the middle of the conversation, in the middle of the prophecy, Abrau says, "One second, Hashem, I got three guests. I have three Arabs that came to me." He didn't know they're angels. He thought they're three Arabs. They could have been kamas. They could have been Palestine. They could have been whoever. It can't be Palestine. They weren't existent back then. And today they don't exist. Just imaginary. But nonetheless, could have been somebody. Hashem. One second. I got to go attend to these guests. You're talking to Hashem, the King of Kings. What are you doing? Somebody's in the middle of a conversation with their boss that gives them $15 an hour. They won't walk away. Here is talking to He says, "One second, Hashem, I gotta go. I have three people. I don't know. They're Arabs. They may be idol worshippers that pray to the dust on their feet. So, I got to wash their feet to see if they allow me wash to wash their feet, then they're not idol worshippers. But if they don't allow me to wash their feet, that means that they're going to gather the dust on their feet that walked in the desert all day and pray to it. So, they're idol worshippers. So I got to leave you the king of kings to go attend to them and then give them some food. She the whole bul of them. Each one gets his own tongue. So I'll be back whenever I finish. Five, six, seven, 10 hours that it's greater to host the guest in order to get them closer to Hashem and do kiru than it is to speak to Akadoshu himself. Where did Abrau learn that? From hem himself. from Hashem himself. How so? Hashem obviously knew that he was going to talk to but it was possible that is going to go leave to go uh attempt to guest like he does every day. So what did Hashem do? He took the sun out of its shell to stop guests from coming. So even Hashem Puskins the same way as Abrainu that if guests come in the middle of our conversation in the middle of the prophecy is going to have to go. So let me just stop the guest from coming by putting out the sun so nobody's coming and that way me and Abraham can have a that's where Abraham got it from. Abra's wisdom was beyond comprehension already at three years old. He knew more than more than we could ever imagine in the wildest dreams. Also another person that the of as great as it was is not compared to the of said that was greater thanu with all of his greatness decided that in order for him to serve Hashem he has to go leave the conversation every single day, leave the books, leave the elevation of himself in prophecy and go teach the lowest level of students who Hashem is. That's what the says. He says he didn't have great students that were extraordinary. No, he's telling them listen Hashem. Oh, you mean the idol? Oh, not the idol. Not the idol. Hashem. Who is Hashem? What's Hashem? Hashem, the God. God, the one that created the world. Not the idol. Idol. You made it. You bought it from Walmart. That's not God. That's nothing. That's garbage. Hashem, he created the world. Okay. Say, "Thank you, Hashem." Okay. Thank you, Hashem. Buy a t-shirt from shop. Says, "Thank you, Hashem." Okay, I'll buy a t-shirt. Buy a cup, says thank you, Hashem. Okay, I say I'll thank you, Hashem. Okay, next day. All right, now we're gonna learn Bet. That's the language that Hashem created the world with. He took these letters and he created the world with them. Alf. No, not al teaching them al. He's dealing with people that are full of immorality. Hey, Rabbi, listen. Uh, I love you and everything, but I need help. What happened? I can't stop wasting seed. I can't stop cheating on my wife. I can't stop stealing my business. I can't stop driving on Shabbat. That's who that's who Abrau is is is dealing with every day. He's dealing with idol worshippers, with immoral people. He's dealing with people that are clueless about Hashem. That's who he's busy with and that's who he decided to leave prophecy behind for. That's who he sacrificed everything for. And therefore says the Hashem in his goodness says that it's not possible for to lose out a in attaining a higher level of prophecy as a result of his sacrifice for my children for my creation. He is my servant. So there's no need for preparations. What does that mean? Saysu my child my son he doesn't need preparations. I'm going to him. All the other prophets have to prepare to speak to sometimes for a few days longer. All types of meditations, readings, elevations, all types of uh words of no preparation right now. He just finished making some shish kebab for a few Arabs that came to him a few times. Okay, he got this guy to say this guy he said is that guy he's still working on he still has a little bit of the sauce on his on his hands. He's telling make some cakes. We have some guests right now still has the apron around him running the house. Hashem says, "I'm going now. I'm going." Yeah, but he didn't prepare. No preparation for Abraham. Why? Abraham cannot lose as a result of serving me. as a result of his sacrifice for my children, I'm going to Abraham to go and tell him my plans with Sodom because it cannot be that since such a sadik he's such a sadik that he would lose out as a result of his inability to elevate himself to learn more to pray even more to have. He can't do it. Not because he's playing basketball, not because he's sleeping all day, not because he wants to uh watch uh the uh stock market. No, he can't do it because he's constantly toiling in getting my children to do chuva. He doesn't have a minute to breathe. There's a new message coming every second. There's a new person. There's a new problem. There's issues. There's a issues. There's uh all types of nonstop people are coming to him. That's the reason why he can't. So, I'm making an exception for Abrainu. No preparations needed. I'm coming to you. I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do with Sodom. I'm going to tell you the whole plan. I'm going to tell you the whole prophecy without any necess necessity for you to prepare because you sacrifice for my children. You are my beloved. We see here so many things. First and foremost, we see that anyone that makes a sacrifice for the sake of getting am closer to Hashem, for the sake of getting the world closer to Hashem, closer to his Torah, will never lose out as a result of it. It's not possible. It's not possible for them to lose out as a result of real sacrifice. Whether it's major sacrifice in donations and support or time or teaching or effort whatever it is that you make as a major sacrifice for the sake of akadosh's children you will certainly never lose as a result impossible even if it's a prophecy that all other prophets will require to prepare themselves there's that have written about prophecy I believe it was A uh um has in his the entire road map of how to attain and even prophecy what you need to do at each level each level of preparation literally instructions just like you when you buy Legos they give you okay step one take the Lego out step two get these pieces step three take these two pieces put together step four has literally a stepbystep process of how to attain prophecy how to attain when a person learns even the first step they realize okay it's pretty much for me to learn any of the other steps I can't even do the first step all of the prophets had to do this no why he doesn't have time where he doesn't have time tough luck no tough luck he doesn't have time because he's answering WhatsApp messages for broken houses. He's answering WhatsApp messages for people that are addicted to pornography. He's answering, he's dealing, he's calling, he's going to people's houses. He's he's doing whatever he possibly can with all of his time to publicize my name. That's why he doesn't have time. You want me to judge that my son, my beloved is going to lose as a result of sacrificing his time, his effort, his benefit, his good for the sake of my children. No, opposite. He's my beloved. He's a true servant. So the first thing we see is that you can never lose as a result of sacrificing for the sake of Kiru, for the sake of publicizing Hashem's name. Number two, we see who Hashem calls his beloved, who Hashem favors. Number three, we see the clearest difference you could ever imagine that distinguishes the Jewish leaders that follow the Torah and everyone else. Jew or Gentile leaders, doesn't make a difference. that are following politics, their own opinion, popular opinion, votes, likes, favoritism, all of the different things and motivations that drive people money. Literally, you see that the Torah leaders and what motivates them, what drives them to lead is the polar opposite of what political leaders use to motivate themselves. where the politicians have no inclination whatsoever to sacrifice any part of their benefit. The only reason they want this position of power is for their own benefit. If it's a political position, it's the political benefits. Whether it's the bribes or the special deals for family and friends or the recognition that also comes with benefits or the renting a stadium on taxpayers money, all the different benefits. If it's somebody that is not a politician but rather a leader because he wants to talk about politicians all day, looks like he has a noble cause. No, he simply has a news station that charges a subscription fee and makes over a hund00 million a year from it from advertising, from subscriptions, from donors, from bribes, whatever he could get. That's why he's in the news constantly. It's not because he cares about Am is simply because he cares about his own benefit. He's not going to sacrifice his life. She's not going to sacrifice her life for the sake of Israel. No, opposite. They'll give they'll give people as a sacrifice for their benefit. That has been and always will be the mentality in the politician and the likes. And that is the main thing that distinguishes them from the Torah leaders and why the Torah leaders their leadership succeeded beyond their time. Whereas the others, the moment they're out of people's sight, they're out of people's mind, and they cannot get out of people's memory fast enough. People cannot wait to forget about them. The only times you remember them is if somebody else wants to make money as a result of writing a book about them. Nobody cares about their policies, their ideas. Nobody cares about them. And there's endless amount of stories of showing the significant difference in how the Torah leaders sacrificed their life day and night is and you compare it to different leaders who there was one time a the time of the Russians tar the queen, his wife arrived at a destination with her entourage of servants and people and soldiers and she saw that it rained. So there was mud and she didn't want to dirty her shoes. So she said, "Get some rugs." They said, "There's no rugs. We don't have carpets or rugs." Said, "Okay, get soldiers." got a bunch of soldiers and she had all of the soldiers lay on the floor so she could walk on top of them in order not to dirty her shoes with mud. She had no problems that they dirty their face with mud, their shirts with mud, that they're embarrassed and shamed that she's walking on them. No qualms about that because our shoes are of higher importance to her. than the masses. And ultimately when you see what told the who thought that a position of leadership will give them too much honor, he says it's not honor. I'm giving you servitude. The moment you become a true Jewish leader where you're going to do what's required, you're going to sacrifice everything. That means that you're going to make the ultimate sacrifice which is your freedom. You no longer have freedom. Why? Your time does not belong to you anymore. Somebody needs your attention. Somebody needs your wisdom. Somebody needs your uh answer constantly. This is why there's literally endless books of stories of from all the generations. And anyone that has ever written a book about one of the would tell you what he wrote about this does not even scratch the surface of all the stories that are really available. If you compare that to the bios about different politicians and leaders and secular people, usually everything that's in a book is everything that there is to say. And sometimes, often, more often than not, what they said in the book is really more than what really happened. The difference is theim they made the ultimate sacrifice which is their freedom. The moment you become a Jewish leader that's following in the footsteps of the Jewish leaders that we've had throughout our history since since the beginning, you have decided that your time is no longer yours. You have decided that your freedom is no longer yours. you are now a public benefactor. On the other hand, the other types of leaders that not following the Torah's ways, the ultimate gain that they have is freedom to do whatever they want. So while the Torah leader loses his freedom as a sacrifice for the people, the other types of leaders, the more powerful they are, the more they have the freedom to do whatever they want, even if that means that it'll hurt the masses that they're supposed to lead. This is the reason why and all of Israel have repeated generation after generation. If you want to go in the right direction, you follow because they are the Torah. They are the truth of the Torah. They'll tell you right or left. As Raba said, they are they are's wings. Is the dove. They're the wings. Without the wings, we crash and fall. So if you want to pick a leader, pick somebody that has pick one of because if you pick anybody else, whether they're rich or popular or they have a big YouTube channel or they uh they're connected or whatever they are, it'll be a complete and utter failure. Doesn't matter how much you donate to them or bribe them or talk to them or promise them or do for them. It doesn't make a difference. So long as their interest is themselves, that means that they're willing to sell you for their own interest. That means they're willing to cheat you, lie to you, stab you in the back, be a hypocrite for their own benefit in comparison to the Torah leaders that these things don't exist. Why? Because their whole mo is sacrifice even their freedom for the sake of the benefit of the masses. The more we gain closeness, knowledge to the great Torah scholars, the more we can understand what freedom really is and what sacrifice they make and the more we can understand how much we need to do in order to support them, in order to help them because all of it is for our own benefit. The more we spend our resources and efforts supporting others. It's all to our detriment. This is the reason why said what he said and why is continue to say it today. Thank you very much for learning with me. May Hashem bless each and every single one of you to have the to share this and all of the other lectures with your community with people that you're going to get them to understand the difference between Torah and everything else especially when it comes to leadership. Anyone that wants to support whether it's the food campaign to help Torah scholars and poor families in Israel could donate on the website and the campaign that we have. You want to help us with all the other amazing things that the organization is doing, you could donate on the website.org. And of course, you could always get some of the free books to distribute in your community, the free aayatar posters, and also my all-time favorites, the kiru cards that have tikun on them and the a rabbi on the other side that are beautifully presented and literally the uh the greatest investments in the world because each box can get you at least a few ballet chuva. So in so many words, it's one of those things where if a person had the time and the ability, they would literally make this something they do every single day because it it's that effective. And there's not a day that goes by that I don't get a report from the uh different uh softwares that we have that tells me how many people scanned it and how many people sent messages and how many people watched and so on. And every day it's double digits, triple digits or more numbers that come specifically from those cards. We're not talking about just all the channels and the videos and everything.
