Is This The End? - Jewish HaShkafa (64)

[Music] tonight uh we're continuing our series of the jewish ash kafa tonight's you will be foreign that continue to do the will of hashem despite the difficulties that are out there with that being said uh we have both hashem a lot going on um for those of you that have forgotten on the key roof store key restore.org and ordered some things uh and you haven't seen the new usbs uh and holy uh nation uh books on there that's because it hasn't been done yet because other shim will try to do it soon it's just been a very very busy and hectic time to say the least um aside from that uh for anyone who doesn't know we have an event coming up in a um in 10 days of the sham uh here in uh south florida for anyone that wants to come it's going to be at a resort called bonaventura for anyone that wants to attend uh it's free of charge but you have to rsvp rsvp to uh leia at bezottashem.org uh okay so we have the uh the jewish ashkafa the khazonesh has been uh taking us on a journey which besieged ishmael we've always been able to connect to the weekly parasha to our day-to-day lives and of course for anyone that watches our shoelane if anyone that monitors our channel knows that there's been a uh uh topic that we've discussed uh extensively over these last few weeks a major tragedy that uh bizarre will not happen but may happen uh for all intents and purposes looks like it's going to happen in a couple of days it's almost uh from my perspective it's almost like seeing the holocaust coming and not being able to do anything about it and i know that a lot of people don't see it that way i know that unfortunately most people don't see it that way but if you read enough you learn enough perhaps you'll see enough um the uh the question that we have is uh where where do we stand with everything where do we stand with everything so of course with the kennebus let's start with the torah let's see where the torah leads us we have quite a few things happening out there and hashem let's learn a little bit to see where where it could lead us the last couple of weeks the um kazonish has been uh teaching us about how a person should never waste their talent uh should never really think that they're too old to learn to are too old to achieve big things uh unfortunately there are many times where a person uh thinks that they perhaps they've they've reached a certain age and therefore they can't do it but then perhaps uh they get a uh certain wind of truth as he calls it a certain spirit of truth in them where they want to see the truth they think they could do the you know they could do it they even have some sources to justify that they could do it such as you know the greatest sages we've had throughout the years uh didn't all start off as froome from birth uh many of them were bale rabbi balanese who was a one of the greatest sages that ever lived didn't come from a family that uh everyone was from from the time of uh you know the uh they were all born he uh came actually from converts who uh started from the roman caesar uh who converted after he saw uh what uh what end will happen to the wicked people that go against amish uh talks about it uh i believe it's page 57a so now uh we see that you know many people get that spirit but then they get a yetzera what's the it's all says nah come on you're full of it you know don't don't think that you can do it and then that yet appears and ruins all of that excitement all of a sudden the person starts becoming humble when it comes to spirituality when it comes to attaining wealth people are never humble people always think that they're going to be the millionaires they're going to win the lotto they're going to invent the next big thing they're going to find the the next big company they're going to win the next big case they're going to uh cure the biggest disease people are very ambitious when it comes to materialism but when it comes to spirituality when it comes to uh serving akados bohu and learning his torah suddenly be people become very very humble and of course this humility that has only says is a flawed sense of humility it's not real humility but it's rather the yetzera so how do we know whether our our good traits are good or bad you know whether we're using the good for good or we're using the uh uh the good for bad and that's in essence the next section he says if a bad trait is bad then a good trait being misused is even worse than that and an impediment because the teachers of musa the teachers of morals have written much about every bad trait explaining its faults and condemning it at great length investigating remedies for for it and offering cures for it in their treaties but the damage caused by a good trait that is out of place is both painful and severe out of humility and sense of modesty a person is discouraged from acquiring wisdom how happy he would be have he been armed with uh armed in this instance with the trait of boldness and audacity when his conscience was berating him for having failed for having left torah the pure source of life so in this first section the khazanesh tells us that yes of course we have bad traits everyone knows about bad traits people that are angry stingy arrogant chasing all types of pride people that have all types of bad traits that are out there and every one of us knows that there's a few of them that we ourselves have to work on but he says if these bad traits that everyone knows about that the teachers of musa the teachers of morals are sages whether it be moshe bennu in the entire book of deuteronomy the ultimate moosar book or it was melech in proverbs or ecclesiastes or as david american is tayleen or perhaps you want to go to the oral tala and you go to the sages took different mishnayot from across the mishnah that specifically talked about morals and anyone that learns the percavate will learn what true wisdom uh you know is when it comes to behavioral issues now there are many teachings that stemmed from them that branch from all of these that i just mentioned from the teachers of musa from islamic saland from the hobota levoth the ramakhal in the all of his books all of the teachers of musa are constantly quoting the sources that i just mentioned as the foundations of teachings of musa and generally speaking all of the the the main body of discussion that everyone is familiar with is the bad traits that we all have to stay away from you stay away from being stingy stay away from being arrogant stay away from uh being a an angry person stay away from all types of things that are obviously bad for anybody with common sense but here is mentioning yes but there's also another side to the teachings another side to the teachings that our sages teach us which is actually misusing the good traits that you have in such an extent that those good traits turn into something that's much much worse than any bad trait you can possibly have this is one of the things that we're going to focus on because it wasn't because of anger that the betterment dust was destroyed it wasn't because of pride that tibetan dust was destroyed it wasn't because of stinginess and lack of donations that the veterinary dust was destroyed the exile for the last 2 000 years that we have has not been because of bad traits but rather because of a misuse of good traits where do we see this from page 56 talks about this particular event a well-known event but perhaps only the first half of it and the master talks about in page 56a talks about how there was a person that had come to had a party and uh i'm sorry this person had a party and he wanted to invite his friend kamsa and he sent his servant to go get his friend kamsa and invite him to his feast where he had all types of ham all big rabbis there all types of well to do people at this party and his servant misunderstood misheard or simply was clueless and went and invited a person with a similar name balkanta which say was actually the son of kamta the only problem is that while this host was friends with kamsa he was enemies with his son barakansa and now this sun comes this balcamsa comes sits at the event he's very happy that his enemy invited him perhaps he wants to make peace perhaps he's going to apologize for wronging me in the past and he's sitting and he's chit-chatting with everybody and all of a sudden the host sees him and is shocked asking what are you doing in my event he says you invited me you sent your servant to me he says no no there's been a mistake i meant to invite cancer not you bag the son of kansa no i didn't invite you get out gamsa looks around he sees all these respected people he says no no take it easy don't embarrass me not in front of everybody okay perhaps there was a mistake but i'm already here let me stay i'll pay for the food i'll pay for half the food and the host of course is adamant about his position completely vicious about it in fact and says no even if you pay for half of the event i don't want you to stay to save face this bad contest says okay you know what i'll pay for the entire event what'd you spend here 50 100 000 you got it i'll pay for the whole thing just don't embarrass me in front of everybody let me stay the host in his arrogance in his disgusting nature says no get out and this bhagavata gets up sees that none of the rabbis that are there say anything and says to himself that says since the rabbis were seated at this event and did not rebuke him the host for the way he treated me it's evident that what he did was acceptable acceptable to them and i will now go and spread slander against the rabbis to the royal palace and he went to go see the roman caesar here we see rabutai a tragedy unlike any other where yes it started with arrogance seeking kavod but then you see that there was a solution available there was a solution available there that wasn't utilized the rabbis did not rebuke some say perhaps they were scared of the host but that's there's no place in the torah that would absolve them from such a crime there's no place in the torah it says that if somebody is a you're afraid that the host is going to kick you out too then you don't rebuke i haven't found a place if anybody does please show it to me in fact i this balcamta goes to the caesar and tells them the jewish people led by the rabbis have forsaken you and he says what proof do you have he says as in the past they used to accept sacrifices from the nations but today they think who they are and they won't even accept your sacrifice your highness of course this anger is the caesar but he wants to test it before he goes and annihilates a whole people he wants to test it he goes okay i'll send you a sacrifice let's see what they do and they bring he goes and he brings this sacrifice all the way there it's israel but before he gets there this rashad said that's full of anger full of hatred full of vengeance he makes a moom makes a damage to the uh to the animal some say he hurt the eye of the animal some say cut the lip of the animal either way he made a noticeable defect in the animal that is obvious and therefore makes the this coban de sacrifice really unacceptable unacceptable for the jews but technically acceptable for the green but nonetheless since he was the jew that was bringing it when he brought it to the better mikdash everyone knew what was going on clearly this is a guy he's angry and he's bringing this sacrifice knowing that the sacrifice is not really an acceptable sacrifice but the rabbis though over there knew that this is this guy means trouble and they were actually considering taking this sacrifice since it's coming in the name of the caesar and they don't want to have any problems with the government they don't want to have any problems with someone that kills for fun but then there was a big rabbi a big rabbi named ben amkulos rabbis says to the rabbis but if we accept this sacrifice from him then the people are going to say that blemished animals are now allowed to be offered in the uh betamigdash because even though it's coming from the caesar not everybody knows it's coming from the caesar he's a jew this bakkanza he's a jew he just brought a sacrifice here a few weeks ago a few months ago yes everybody knows his family they don't know the whole story that he's coming in the name of the season it's not like he's walking out with a big flag so he's coming here people are gonna see people gonna see this bug come to with the sacrifice and everybody knows that there is a damage words going to get around here there before you know it they're going to eliminate the part of the story that says that he came here in the name of the caesar and people say oh so you see they accept his sacrifice when it has moved i'm gonna make sure that i'm gonna give them a sacrifice that also has the moon why why should i give him the perfect animal i could sell the perfect animal i'll give him the damage animal so this says no no no this doesn't look good so the rabbi said okay rabbi but listen he's coming with vengeance vengeance in his blood if we don't accept his sacrifice he's going to go back to the caesar and the caesar's going to kill all of us so now he has a dean godev he has judgment we judged him that he's all deaf he's trying to kill us so let's kill him instead if we can accept the sacrifice surely he's going to go back to the caesar and then we could all the caesar could kill all of us so since he's the one that's going to try to kill us this guy let's just kill him kill him before we have a la uh a uh permission to kill him but then comes and says no no no no we can't kill him why can't we kill him because although we know that he's the one that damaged the sacrifice on purpose which the torah itself forbids the punishment for damaging a sacrifice is malcot is whipping couple in the back one in the front couple in the back one in the front you know give him a good time with some birth uh a birth defects of his own that he got at the beta that's the punishment the torah dictates but if we go kill him what is going to happen people are going to say oh wait look at these rabbis they're changing the torah they're changing the torah instead of giving him a punishment of malkot they're killing people for what for damaging the sacrifice so let's not kill him either let's not kill him and this guy abu taya karim this guy went back and told the caesar and the caesar got angry as imagined says in refusing to have balkans put to death and exiled us from our land will comes and says this this big rabbi this rabies he was a very humble person but he misused his humility he misused his humility and his humility which is typically a good trait led to the destruction of our better magdash so how where is this humility where do you see humility in this whole story so as she says on the makom on the on this the humility in a couple of ways you could see one way you can see humility where he really didn't want to pusk in differently even though the time warranted it he didn't think he was big enough even though he was one of the leader he didn't think he was big enough to basket on such an issue and kill this guy okay he wanted to uh give it to somebody else but there was nobody else and allah says place there's no leader you'll be the leader but he didn't want to be the leader and the rambam says if a uh one is also that it's one of the destructions of the world is when somebody has torah and does not use it has a position and doesn't use it brings destruction to the world so this is one aspect of it another aspect of it is that rashi says that he had too much patience too much tolerance to this rasha balkanta and that tolerance that patience led to the destruction of the bituminogen why he figured listen he's a good boy okay he's angry right now perhaps it looks like he wants to kill all of us right now because of what happened at that party a couple of weeks ago but maybe it's gonna pass you know after all he's a jew after all his father's a jew and if he brings the caesar he's gonna hurt his own family he's not to do it let's give him kafsrut says sometimes you cannot have such judgment in your mind applied when everybody else's stake is at large sometimes you cannot use such judgment you cannot give unnecessarily sometimes you cannot have patience if somebody is doing something that's threatening people this is not the time to have patience this is not the time to have cuffs hoot this is not the time not to want to pass in this is not the time not to want to be recognized not to want to be or get attention this is not the time why because you are now putting everybody else in danger there was already a mistake that was made a few weeks ago when he got insulted and none of you rabbi said anything there was already a mistake instead of correcting that mistake what did you do you made the mistake cost the entire betterment dash instead of the mistake only hurting the few people that were involved now this follow-up mistake which had the image of righteousness in it caused us to better me dash now of course say that the decree to exile amisha was already decided in shamayim but the decree that destroyed the better mikdash wasn't done until this particular event actually happened why because misused a good trait that he had misused a good trait that he had which as the hazoni says this is much worse than having a bad trait much much worse than having a bad treat why much worse than having a bad trait because all of the bad traits the balaya musa have written about them have thought about them they tell you all the different tools you need to have in order to overcome anger they give you all the tools to overcome anxiety they give you all the tools in order to overcome pride and all of the other horrible things extensive writing about all of it anyone that truly wants to overcome bad traits that they have there is a wealth of teachings that the torah has and our sages have for you to overcome these things it doesn't take a day or a week and it can't be done on one leg but nonetheless it can be done and it should be done and it has to be done as the gummy filner says this is the point of man to overcome these obstacles that you have which are bad character traits but nonetheless this is not the end of it all why because sometimes these character traits that look good that are good end up being misused and those misused bad those misused good character traits end up becoming a lot more venomous a lot more dangerous than the bad character traits because a person doesn't even know he's bad because he thinks he's humble doesn't know that he's bad because he thinks that his his his trait is good overall so therefore whatever he does with this trade is good but our teachers our sages say otherwise says the khazonesh this person that used his good character traits of humility in an inappropriate way justified him not learning not advancing further in a torah and climbing a higher ladder all of a sudden he wanted to use his humility for the sake of not learning to allah for the sake of not serving hashem even better why he says that had he had boldness and audacity when his conscience was berating him for having failed here he has lived most of his life and soon everything will be lost forever and as he uh is in essence what he's thinking but it is in the imagination though he sees the raised eyebrows of some people and this causes him to feel ashamed and he cannot overcome this false image produced by his imagination here this is another section that the i have to clarify that when a person has this misused character trait he's looking at humility pride or whatever it is that it's a trait that he has and he misuses it what ends up happening is that one bad thing leads to another one bad thing leads to another he thinks now listen i'm already too old to do this i'm already uh i'm not big enough to do this i uh you know he's he's justifying doing bad by something good now one of the things that happens at that time it's a domino effect is that his imagination starts developing in his imagination he starts justifying his decision why based on what other people say thinking wait if i write the letter and i say that a missionary is not allowed in a synagogue or anywhere near the jewish people then everyone's going to say wait a minute who is he to say such a thing what does he think he's the biggest rabbi in the world or is he to tell us that god said death penalty to shabbat who is what does he think he is what does he think he's rambam yeah but the rambam said it so what so let the rambam come over and tell us who does he think that he's telling us that you're not allowed to bring an idol worshiper that missionaries on jews into a betressed okay let the abusive coward come tell us what does he think to do that in essence the guy is in his imagination he's thinking wait they're gonna say that if i say it's not allowed they're gonna say oh he did it oh he thinks who he is he thinks he's better than us he thinks that he knows more than us he thinks he's abusive karl he thinks he's the rambam he thinks this he thinks that he has this warped visual in his imagination of what other people are going to think as a result and unfortunately this visual is tragic it's lethal it is a nightmare why because it could turn someone that is a dollar doe someone that is a giant in torah tell me someone that's an amazing person that has the ability to say the truth suddenly turning that person into a balmoon a person that has a defect he can't speak he can't write he can't see he can't hear he can't act nothing where is all your torah no my torah only belongs in my bet midrash it belongs in maya shiva it belongs in my koala yeah but your torah is also for me said and amissad is in danger why don't you say something about this danger no it doesn't i really have to do with me yeah but people from that community also listen to you people all over the world listen to you when you give a lecture when you sell a book you don't only sell the book in your community you don't only give the lectures in your community you give it for the worldwide jewelry why all of a sudden when it comes to warn a different community suddenly you can't do it oh because they're going to think who is he to tell us what to do in our community how come you didn't think that when you wrote the book and you decided to sell it on an internet that goes to every community in the world you see what ends up happening is that humility of thinking what are people going to think of me is 100 yet yes it's the evil inclination why even clematis is going to tell you stay humble humility is good moshe rabbino was humble ye habibi when was he humble was he humble when koha came next to him no he wasn't humble when kawa came to him when god wanted to fight moshe abano told everybody stay away from these wicked people lest you die with them why there's a time and there's a time there's a time and there's a time and when a person misuses a good trait it is much worse than anything else and unfortunately we are seeing this with our own eyes we are seeing this with our own eyes where people that are of big stature big big positions well known scared to talk about major issues why what are people gonna think what are people gonna think this unfortunately rabutai is a tragedy it's a tragedy that we lost a bit to make dashan now don't only think that this is only referring to big people like the dollardog i'm talking about even big people that have their own synagogue big people that are leaders in their own community big people that are known on the internet known in the world wide web known in the jewish communities if you say their name you're going to have a few people know who these people are they too have a position of influence and they too many times are scared to utilize this position of influence for the sake of rebuking why shalom don't create a machete we want peace everybody wants peace but fake peace fake peace like with the palestinians that's what we want we want fake peace until they shoot rockets at us want fake peace until they invite christian missionaries into our synagogues that's the peace we want that's the peace we have is here we have a good trait being misused across the board unfortunately people are scared to give their opinions many times or worse yet sometimes the big rabbi and this too i was a witness to in the last few weeks and in the past also but more so in the last few weeks than ever i literally saw with my own eyes i spoke to one of the doleado i'm going to tell you a story i'm not going to say the name i spoke to one of the dollar doll i don't know hashem gave gave me some type of merit i spoke to him for 20 minutes i honestly don't know if anybody that he's ever spoken to he spoke to for 20 minutes i spoke to him for 20 minutes he told me you're 100 right i have to sign this letter i have to sign this letter send it to me i'm signing it i said can you sign it today he says right before shabbat i'll sign it on sunday no problem come sunday missing in action who picks up all the helpers no no he's not going to sign what do you mean but he told me he's going to sign the door doesn't change his mind what happened what happened did it stop oh no no we need somebody else to sign what happens is sometimes the helpers the the whoever else is around they decide that he needs to be humbler he needs to be smaller he needs to not do this and not get himself involved why it's not his business yeah but he said it's his business he said he should do it he said he's gonna do it how are you there to decide for him oh you know he's this and he's that oh how come when it came to building a new yeshiva or a new building a new campaign he wasn't this or that or the other thing when you needed a signature to raise money when you needed his signature to do something for something else there was no problem getting it he was able he was capable he was doing everything but suddenly when it comes for the sake of saving army said for missionaries all of a sudden we have humility and not even humility from the person itself from somebody on his behalf greatest greatest trait in the world have humility for somebody else this is like the most bizarre thing you'll ever gonna see and i've seen this too and not with one but two dollar doll not one but two why the butter kareem this is something we've had already for thousands of years elisha navi was one of the most the greatest prophets we ever had he too had a geckazee gekhazee who lost his got cursed for eternity was a goodbye that knew a lot of torad and do a lot of good things but he got in the way he got in the way and therefore he lost eternity unfortunately many people think that they know better than the big rabbis they serve they think they the big rabbis are big rabbis only in certain things but not in everything they know better this sabotage is also a false sense of humility a false sense of of a lot of things all types of so-called good traits they're all coming from a good place the road to hell is full of good intentions and lots of footsteps unfortunately here this person has in his imagination what the eyebrows of some people are going to uh how are they going to be raised how are they going to be raised how is he doing this is he should they know what he's doing does she know what she's doing how is she making such a statement does she know what she's saying does he know what he's saying yeah we read it we saw it we we did it what's the problem yeah but you're not a rabbi so how could you say such a thing yeah but you're not a uh you know a dollar dosa how could you say what you're saying yeah but you're not a man so how could you say what you're saying yeah but you're not a woman how could you say what you're saying everybody's got a different reason of why you can't say what you say you're a rabbi you're not a rabbi you're this you're that everybody has their opinion especially when those people are only found inside your imagination now surely those people are found in real life the it's uh has many soldiers but the first soldiers that he sends are the ones that are inside our mind those are the first soldiers that he sends the imaginary soldiers and this person cannot overcome this false image produced by his imagination but a bit of chutzpah an audacity and he will see things right what are the thoughts of a mortal human being they fly away like a dream says why should you yield in the face of another person's assessment why shouldn't you yield when faced with endless shame that threatens you if you remain empty laboring futility and born for naught fortify yourself been adam clothe yourself and courage energize yourself and set about studying allah vigorously in so many words the where he's applying it to learning of allah we're applying it to everything really says the only reason why you justified in this particular example not growing further not aiming to be the biggest rabbi in the world not aiming to be the best best tummy yeshiva not aiming to be the best everything whatever you want to be the only reason why you did that is because of your imagination all of a sudden you decide to be humble all of a sudden you decided that you can't do all of a sudden that you are like almost you've turned yourself into a defect not because you're actually defective but rather because you're ashamed of what people are gonna say about you all of a sudden you're no longer opinionated you have a lot of opinions but you don't want to express them anymore this rabbit this imagination causes a person that can be a giant influence a giant contributor a giant in in in in good things and turns that person into a negative influence turns that person into evil why because as we saw in the story in the in the camps of belgium story those rabbis that saw the evil happening between this the host and barakamsa they didn't say anything that in itself that evil that quiet that they they stayed at that that that that fear of rebuking him that started the path that started the journey for even greater evils which eventually culminated with the destruction of the bitter magdash so a person is staying quiet and thinking no i'll stay quiet and somebody else will take this job it's not a good thing why if i could do who brought it to your desk then it's your job if i could those girl who brought it to your screen then it's your job if i could use it to your community then it's your job if a kadazba who brought it to your mind that it's your job how much you'll succeed how much you'll fail that all is decided by don't let your imagination decide that for you don't let your imagination decide that for you many times when it's for materialistic uh aspirations we don't let the imagination stop us from anything we only let the imagination allow us to succeed in our imagination we're all uh positive we're all very very uh successful we're optimistic you know i'm gonna buy this lotto ticket i'm gonna win at least the grand prize at least maybe even two grand prizes i'm gonna apply for this job and i'm gonna get at least the job that i want plus fifty percent not uh not get a job i'm going to uh you know uh take this test i'm gonna get at least 90 out of 100 maybe even 95. i'm gonna do this and i'm gonna succeed when it comes to materialism we all have success why the world tells you be optimistic but when it comes to the spirituality when it comes to servitude of academic who all of a sudden everybody's humble you tell the guy listen you think you finish the shots this year this year or this lifetime no not this year this year can you finish the chest this year no i never finished this just in my life i know you didn't finish the session your entire life but can you finish it this year all of a sudden nah it's too much it's too late okay can you finish one more second one more second maybe every month ah too much is this is that how about this can you finish one more second the whole year the whole year one more second pick any one you want go my second mickey lights for like a little baby why don't you go do that i'll try how come if when i asked you you want to do this million dollar deal even though you don't have any money you set for sure you didn't even think about how you're going to pay for it but when i said finish them a second that's for a little baby all of a sudden you're not so sure what happened when i asked you what do you think about getting into this hotel business maybe we can buy this hotel you said you know what for sure you don't know anything about hotels in fact the only thing you know about hotels is how to steal their towels but when i tell you why don't you go tell the rabbi that he shouldn't bring the missionary to shul he said no i don't know i don't know anything about being a rabbi i don't know anybody being a rabbi i don't know if i can tell the rabbi how to be a rabbi yeah but you do know that the missionary is not good for you right yeah i know the missionary is not good for you so you do know the missionary is trying to make you not jewish right yeah you do know he's gonna try to do the same thing with everybody else right yeah okay so what else do you need to know ah and that's what happens when it comes to servitude everybody is all of a sudden humble humble very humble akadozma who comes to us and he's gonna come to us and he's gonna ask us you did a lot of things for your honor to go start a hotel business you did to go start a car business you did to go invest in all types of bitcoin schmidt coin and all types of other mumbo jumbos you did to go do all types of things you did what about when you were asked to defend my honor how about that when did you defend my honor when uh that's what's going to happen many people are asking this question what should we do what should you do cry foul to every single place you possibly can that's what you should do you should lose your mind if you live in that community unfortunately abu tai not enough people are losing their mind people are angered people are worried but not enough people are losing their mind i got a couple letters i got a couple of letters to read to you i got more but i got a couple letters to read to you one was was sent to our dear friend and rabbi rob mizaki a person that lives in a community says i listen to your lectures and i go to the boca raton synagogue what should we do as a community to fight against this travesty that's going on with pastor mario bremnick so far it seems like most people in the community are angered by this wicked decision especially my father who has first hand seen his relatives kidnapped by the church and christian missionaries and they themselves became missionaries it is a big pain my father lives with can you please speak against this vile act we in a community are powerless to stop it please get the biggest rabbis in america involved if you can here you have a concerned jew that lives in a boca raton community crying out for help not because of your own reuven not because of some fanatic no he's crying because he has blood on his hands that he saw his own family spiritually murdered by the church by the very same people that are being invited into the boca raton community and when he went to the synagogue leadership nothing what and he said he's not alone other people are angered by it but no one can tell her from goldberg what to do why er from goldberg he's uh he calls himself alik he calls himself he's the head rabbi and he says he even spoke to rabb shekhter the truth is i spoke to the person who spoke to rav shakti who knows exactly what happened in nepal and ravshakta doesn't know a clue of what's happening in boca raton synagogue how about that not a clue not a clue unfortunately it's very hard to get raphsek on the phone but if rabbi knew that he's bringing an evangelical christian missionary into the community i bet my life my life and my own that he would say something why every normal jew has to every normal jew has to except if that normal jew is from goldberg who doesn't uh think the rules apply to him another jew from the community says i live in boca raton and i'm very disturbed by the event that's planned on taking place in vrs with this pastor from what i understand he was a born jew and i'm trying to get people in influential positions to say something he's showing extraordinary concern there are people are extraordinarily concerned and we need more information we sent the information these people are concerned why they concerned because every one of them only sent the emails after they went to ephraim after they went to the other leaders and they were shut down ignored told everything's gonna be okay told you don't have to come if you don't want to all types of answers that really don't help anybody don't help anybody why because ephraim believes that he is a uniter he is an innovator he is someone who knows better well guess what ephraim your arrogance can destroy not just your sure but all of american judaism in the next couple of days roberta we will either see an end of an error an end of an error in a beginning of a new one or we're gonna see the leaders of am israel whether it be the rabbis or it be the people show who they really are in the next couple of days we're going to see what we're all made of i've done everything i could i've cried i've prayed i've brought proofs i have enough proofs to make a whole new series these people are dangerous these people are evangelical christians are not looking to be your friends i've called i've lost sleep i haven't been able to see my own family even though i work out of the house everything i can possibly do i've been doing instead of getting help from some people all i've been getting is insults abuse mocking all types of comments even the people sometimes that were supportive and said oh this missionary event is dangerous you shouldn't do it but they told them listen but that you're unreuven ah what's up doing anything it came from me came from a donkey i said anything wrong because they don't like my personality perhaps they don't like my hairdo not really sure what they decide they're not going to speak why because of this or because of that all types of stupidity i've seen the worst in the last few weeks i've seen the worst in people in the last few weeks and unfortunately the few diamonds that i've met and the few diamonds that i've seen shine in these last few weeks have not been enough to stop this event it's not been enough why because unless the community itself unless the jewish community at large inside boca raton and across the world acts on this stands for this nothing will happen and the face of judaism will be changed in the next two days it will be the end of an era the end of an era that we're all going to regret ended what era is that the era where it was wrong to bring christian missionaries to a synagogue you see what you don't understand perhaps and what ephraim doesn't understand and what a lot of people perhaps don't understand is that this event means a lot more than what it looks like it has nothing to do with uniting for israel anyone that looks at the luzan occasional paper produced by the issue group it's a evangelica evangelizing organization there was a meeting in 2004 they have a 70 page paper about what evangelization is supposed to be specifically when it comes to jewish people they give an entire definition entire clarification of why evangelizing jewish people has to be the number one mission for christianity number one simplest reason for all of us to understand is that their belief is if jesus is not the messiah of the jews then he's also not the messiah of the christians there cannot be what the jews believe that they have their messiah and we can have ours perhaps no such thing there is only one messiah just like the real jewish belief is there is only one messiah only we believe that our messiah is the righteous orthodox jew messiah that is going to eliminate all other foreign believers all the people that believe in a different messiah all the people that believe in a uh wicked things and idolatry and so on guess what the christians believe the same thing but in their idol they believe that jesus has to be the messiah of the jews not he should be not he could be he has to be why if he's not the messiah of the jews then he's not messiah at all not for the christians either and therefore this forum this organization specifically detailed for everyone to have a universal belief of why the evangelicals have to target jews because in order for them to get their salvation according to them we have to be part of it and of course there are many other stupid beliefs that they have but nonetheless this is the primary one is is one of those people he's an evangelical christian who himself says he's been at boca raton synagogue in the past as i've said at least one time he was at boca raton synagogue as he leads the pastor uh broward network broward pastor network so he was in pa he was in the boca raton synagogue at least once i mean the way he sounds the way he speaks about it sounds like he's been there more than once like it's a second house almost but nonetheless this very same michael mario bremnick hangs out with powerful missionaries missionaries some of them are also jews just like him a logically that went into christianity and made it their life's mission to hunt jewish people and bring them to christianity he also goes and he connects with and he learned from a very well-known christian missionary that has something like three million followers one of these uh mega church people maldonado that literally has millions of followers zillions of dollars endless resources and all of them discuss openly without any shame in fact with a lot of zeal and pride how the number one target of their life's work is to convert the jewish people to christianity when we had him at boca raton synagogue uh with rabbi um goldberg we had a great time with him there's so many things going on we see the jubilee year coming yes the submitter years coming what does it have to do with israel israel is very important it's at the center of god's heart everything started in israel it's now culminating with israel i really believe god is about to move he's moving supernaturally and god's move has to do with israel the glory of the lord fell i i was in uh the church with you when the glory fell several years ago and the lord spoke to us god is pouring out his glory upon the church to provoke the jewish people to jealousy paul said in romans 9 the glory belongs to israel solomon saw the glory david cried out for the glory and i think that it god is pouring out his presence in other words we need to listen to the signs and the four blood moons but this is our greatest hour in the midst of darkness and deep darkness arise and shine for god's glory is about to be poured out upon god's people and i believe it's going to be a sign to israel you see israel has judaism and it's that's a beautiful religion they don't need religion they need the reality of a living god who's working in signs wonders and miracles jews ask for a sign we are living in a convergence god loves israel it was god's firstborn god's covenant with israel never ceases i mean it's an irrevocable covenant that was given by god with uh the nation of israel jerusalem as the undivided capital of israel and just as god made a covenant with the church and i think there's a convergence of the jew and gentile as the one new man in this day we're really in the birth pangs of the messiah even the orthodox community is feeling that the messiah is coming back soon and we're feeling those birth pangs as well but as we conclude this segment from south florida from the united states of america joining with our brethren throughout the world we will not be silent they're not ashamed of their job in fact one of the primary things that you will see not just on mario bremnic's website but on the luzan paper and on the evangelical websites is that you have to be proud of the fact that you're preaching the gospel proud of the fact that you're preaching the gospel to the jew proud of it don't be ashamed of the gospel because jesus wasn't afraid of it jesus was proud of it jesus actually preached it to the jews according to them they believe that this is saving the jews they feel like they're helping the boca raton synagogue that's why any effort to talk to these missionaries first of all is forbidding and i like to talk to these people they're dangerous second of all it's a complete waste of time it's like going to kanievsky and telling them listen rabbi i don't think you should learn torah anymore why because the lefty liberals are being are offended by your torah learning is that going to do anything no it's like going to a world expert in any field tell them know what i don't think you should do that anymore why i'm offended by it this is ludicrous to think that you can talk to the missionaries and tell them not to missionize is the most ludicrous naive thing in the world but guess what there's another thing that the boca raton synagogue community does not realize the most dangerous missionaries in this event is not going to be mario bremnick guess what the most dangerous missionary in this event is not even going to be ephraim goldberg you know who the most dangerous missionary in the event is going to be the most dangerous missionary in this event if it happens is going to be in the crowd that's what the most dangerous missionary is the audience is the fools that choose to be fools the blind that choose to be blind don't want to see is the fact that this event is open to the public and within a matter of seconds for the first time in jewish history a so-called jewish event sold out in a matter of seconds over a thousand people are expected to attend this event probably closer to 2 000 people and guess what they're not all from that community many of them are christian evangelical students of mario bremnick and his friends you're gonna have hundreds of missionaries in the crowd regular average people some have car shops some are uh working at a uh you know in uh plumbing some are delivering mail some are this some are that but they're all missionaries why to be a religious christian you have to be a missionary when you're an evangelical you're a missionary specifically for jews what people do not understand is that the most dangerous missionaries are typically not on the stage they're the ones that are the personality that bring everybody together but the real missionary work is done by the so-called friends you meet at these events hence the reason why the luzan occasional paper say that the plan of attack to missionize the jews is not to just give a speech but also to have all types of events specifically target the orthodox community during the high holidays by giving food and all types of things away so the orthodox community will welcome you do all types of things to welcome the jews to bring them in and befriend them why once you befriend them they'll go on a mailing list or go on a newsletter list they'll even give you a phone number you can call them you can visit them and before you know it hashem yeshmov yet you have a jew that became a christian that's what happens you see the guy on the stage the personality the one that has 3 million 5 million followers the mega church with a quarter million people showing up every sunday he's not the guy that's gonna call and say listen you gotta believe in yoshke you know it's gonna be it's gonna be the guy that invited you to that event the guy that you're sitting next to the girl that you're sitting next to he said you're jewish oh me too but you know i believe in jesus let me tell you why and before you know it you believe in jesus too because you're idiot and you don't realize you've never learned a torah but you've learned the new testament instead this is how missionizing happens i know this firsthand the world experts that i deal with know this firsthand some of them used to be missionaries themselves this is how it works but for some reason ephraim goldberg and his followers think that they're above this and the face of judaism is at risk it's not at risk because of ephraim goldberg alone it's a risk because no one wants to speak against this no one wants to go and take this elephant down no one wants to deal with this in any way shape or form and definitely not publicly which means that since this is multiple times that ephraim has done it and other people have followed him if this event happens the face of american judaism and perhaps even worldwide judaism will be changed forever because it will now cancel out the allah of prohibiting us from allowing these people to enter our synagogues allowing these people to speak to us in any way shape or form and in fact the exact opposite will be permitted you're going to start seeing hashemishmong and i don't even want to say it but i have to just so i give you guys the illusion of what it looks like you're gonna have different jewish communities start inviting pastors ministers and all types of other missionaries come speak to the synagogue open the jewish events to the massive public including to the church and you're going to have not just the speaker on stage be a missionary but all of his minions all of his disciples in the crowd enter jewish communities by the hundreds these papers that they publish themselves are not hiding they're out in the open this is not something you find in some archive this is not something that you find in some hidden closet this is public knowledge this is public knowledge in the missionary world that they simply tell everybody this is the plan of how to missionarize jews make events have them invite you pay for it don't worry the uh the seat has been planted make sure those jews are on a newsletter make sure those jews hear from us make sure you go visit them make sure you give them and do whatever you can and the church spends hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars specifically targeting the jews they don't care about the 8 billion people that are in the world they care about the 14 million according to this report the 14 million jews that are in the world and they know exactly where those millions are they have a census in the paper they have a instructions in the paper they have ideas in the paper they have theology in the paper they have answers in the paper they have rationale for all of those people that say don't missionize the jews they have an answer for them in the paper also they have everything in this paper for the missionary to be as zealous as mario bremnick who is a genius when it comes to missionizing but is going to have an endless gay nom after this world and this life ends when you bring a jew to christianity you're in essence committing spiritual murder forever mary abramic doesn't believe this because he believes in a different god he thinks it's the same god but it's not you see their belief in our belief cannot coexist in peace we can coexist as people but not as religions our religion is contrary to theirs we can't both be right we cannot both be right this is something that our sages were very proud of and very adamant about and guess what the evangelicals they're also saying the same thing as our sages that their religion and our religion cannot coexist one of us has to be right surely they think they are they think that these events these united for israel events these zionism events the targeting intermarried couples specifically events these are ways for them to save us they believe they're doing good the missionary that called me today and left me a two and a half minute message asking me if i'm willing to talk to him because he wants to tell me about all the wonderful things that he saw because he believes in jesus he thinks he's doing good i deal with these crazy people every single day but you can call me a lot of things a liar i'm not you see if this event goes through the face of american judaism is going to change forever it's going to be the end of an era it's going to be an end in such a way that we're going to regret that we didn't do enough how to put this an end to this event i don't have a simple solution what i think is that every person that lives in that community needs to boycott the event and do whatever they can to get it to get cancelled even having bremnick not show up which is impossible is not enough why because there's other people that are from his team that are coming too and anyway the audience as i said the audience themselves are just more dangerous than he is now of course this is probably not going to be feasible in people's minds like wait this all the events only a couple of days we already have this we already have that i understand i understand it's a logistical nightmare but if the community doesn't do anything about it you're gonna have a very very serious problem in your hands and i deal with kids that have left judaism have left yeshiva have left yiddish kite and have adopted foreign beliefs many of them have adopted into christianity many of them have doubts because of christianity many of them delved into christianity and know more about christianity than they know about judaism and getting them out of that tuma is very difficult perhaps ephraim doesn't have any experience in that world because he doesn't even know how to save himself but i deal with those people and it's not easy it's not just sending him a lecture and good luck to you doesn't work that way people that leave judaism go into a very very deep hole before they ever even look back to see perhaps if they went in the wrong direction and whatever doesn't realize is that he's putting in jeopardy millions of people not thousands it's not just this community the ignoramuses that are supporting him some that call themselves rabbi saying we're proud of ephraim that's because they have the same warped ideology not realizing that it's very likely that their own kids will marry christians just like their role model mendelssohn from a couple of hundred years ago who said be a uh a jew at home but a mensch outside be a regular person outside there is no such thing in judaism it's either you're a jew all the time or you're simply not a jew all of those people that are jew in their heart and shamayim it doesn't it's not considered that way if a jew doesn't observe the torah a jew does not observe shabbat a jew doesn't observe the torah mitzvot he's not considered allah jewish considered an idol worshiper and our job because we love those people is to save them save them from their own mistakes get them back to observing shabbat not to abandon them not to let them go to christianity and also not to appease them by telling them it's okay for you not to observe shabbat god loves you anyway because that would simply be a lie it's like telling a cancer patient don't worry everything is going to be okay even if you don't get any treatment anyone that's normal that has a brain in their head knows that when there is a problem there has to be something to solve it and a person that ignores the solution is simply a suicidal person ephraim goldberg is about to commit murder suicide spiritually for an entire community by inviting hundreds of christian missionaries into his community being led by one particular jew that already left judaism and has made it his life's goal to missionaries jews he specifically says that he speaks to orthodox rabbis who believe the messiah is around the corner perhaps that orthodox rabbi is ephraim since ephraim knows him for at least 10 years he says that when you speak to jews you have to know how to speak to them why because you have to know how to missionarize to them he's not shy he's not hiding his missionizing but for whatever reason or another when it comes to this particular issue many people have become humble many people have become quiet many people have become weak and this is a very very serious danger i know that the naysayers will say that exaggeration they'll even call me a dangerous person that i'm gonna lead to anti-semitism and they can do whatever they want but nobody fights for the jewish people whether he knows them or not whether he benefits from them or not whether they like him or not as much as we do in the open without feeling any sense of shame because we know that there are idiots out there that are leading the people astray sometimes those idiots are rabbis sometimes those idiots are rabbis that should know better because their own community has several people that have already adopted christianity and they know about it and instead of helping those jews come back to judaism they support their christian beliefs instead you see what's about to happen in the next couple of days cannot be something we just live through and say ah we'll pray for a better day judaism is about to change because no one is speaking out against this other than myself rabbis rakhi spoke about it a little bit that's pretty much it a few other people spoke about it with without mentioning a name why they're afraid of hurting somebody they're afraid of causing a machoket people are afraid to say names thousands of jewish lives are at risk but we're still afraid this is a disaster this is a good trait used in a bad way you see what ephraim doesn't realize is that his synagogue is constantly compared to a jcc or jewish federation to host such events the problem is that if you want to be orthodox it can't be because a kadosh baku doesn't want a place of worship to be treated like a party center he told the prophet jeremiah before he destroyed the bitter midash in chapter seven verse number eleven america as this temple upon which my name is proclaimed become a cave of criminals in your eyes when you use a place that is supposed to be a place where you learn torah where you pray to academics i bet mikdash to have such events that mock hashem in his belief that put on the stage people that have foreign beliefs put idol worshipers on the stage and in the crowd you're turning your entire community you're turning your entire synagogue into a house of criminals even though god's name's in it and unfortunately we can't say oh god will help because it's not for god to help us in our own stupidity says in a um in parashat 75 section 1 that divided says multiple times in talim kumar hashem rise o god rise he tells hashem to rise rise and fight the wicked people to desecrate your name rise for this and rise for that says david my son although you've asked me to rise multiple times i will not rise i will not rise until the poor are being robbed and the helpless of being abused this will happen at the end of days what does it mean that the poor are being robbed and the helpless the helpless are being abused what does it mean of course it has the literal meaning you can have a lot of horrible things at the end of days government officials all types of people positions of power taking advantage of the poor people this is not a new thing there's going to be something new at the end of days something new at the end of days that's going to cause a kadosh baku to finally get up and fight the wicked what is it when you have leaders then instead of feeding the jewish people their holy torah the torah of life the people that are poor spiritually poor they want the truth they want the truth they want to do chuba they want to come back to academic they just don't know how they don't know where what do they see they see a post oh there's an event in a synagogue oh let's go to the synagogue there's an event for hanukkah for pulling for united israel let's go to the event and instead of being offered torah instead of being offered kedusa instead of being offered the emet whether they offered a christian missionary a poker tournament or some other form of hashem that's what they're going to be offering that's when i could use because when those wicked leaders make what ephraim is doing standard that's when akadosh baku is unfortunately going to rise and put an end to it but it's not going to be a pretty end it'd be much prettier if we put an end to it be much prettier if he didn't need to rise because we had better leaders that spoke out against these things that didn't bring the jewish people to such a low level that we're viewed as poor people that are being robbed and helpless people that are being abused you see what we have here is a disaster in the making with almost nothing that can be done almost nothing that can be done unless everybody gets involved people that live in that community need to protest people that don't live in that community need to protest rabbis need to make a statement big ones small ones and everyone has to make it public no more private calls no more private statements no more modesty no more you know a let's try to keep it uh civil no more why it doesn't work it doesn't work those civil conversations don't work those nice exchanged emails don't work they simply don't is that going to happen i don't know what i do know is that world jewry is in danger and next time i talk to you guys we're either going to be celebrating that akadosh who came to save us or we're going to be mourning together that we've started officially a new age an age where this type of stuff has become acceptable an age where we all know this is officially the end the end where there's not going to be anything to rely on just like the gemara says in the last page page 49 where it says that in a period that precedes the coming of mashiach insolence will increase costs will soar vine will yield its fruit yet the wine will be dear the government will turn to heresy and there shall be no rebuke an earth while meeting place of sages will be used for harlotry the galilee will be destroyed and the galvan desolate the people who dwell on the borders will wander about from town to town but they will not be suckered and the wisdom of scribes will decay those who dread sin will be despised the truth will be absent youth will blanch the faces of elders elders will stand in the presence of minors the son derides his father a daughter rises against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and a man's enemies are the people of his own household and the face of the generation is going to be like the face of a dog a son will not be abashed in the presence of his father and upon what upon what then can we lean on at this time only upon our father in heaven these are some of the prophecies that we're seeing with our own eyes happening in the world today perhaps the boca raton synagogue will exclude itself from these prophecies if they cancel the event or include itself and be one of the highlights of those prophecies only academics but who knows but i do know the next time that we talk it's going to be a very big day i really hope and i pray that enough is going to be done in the next hours to entice enough people to take control of their own neshama and not let anybody else ruin it for them don't think that you're smarter than a satan don't think that you're smarter than the satan's servants in the church they have a plan much better than yours much more organized than yours much more well-funded than yours their people are prepared to missionize their people are funded to do it too we and that's the only way we can win if we stick to hashem one of the ways of sticking to hashem is keeping ourselves and our children separate from them separate we don't have to hate them we have to fight them but we do have to be separate from them when those lines become blurry and you find yourself inviting people that have foreign beliefs and in fact beliefs that are predatory to yours and you find yourselves that you are constantly socializing with these people you my friend are in danger and if you don't realize it it's perhaps too late in the world of gambling everybody thinks that when they step into the room and they sit on a table they're going to win but one of the most important things that a gambler needs to know is who's the best and who's the worst who is the best is important because you need to know who to stay away from who's the worst because you need to know who to target if you can't figure out who the worst one is then you're it we're playing a game that the church already started a few decades ago they have forums they have extraordinarily large organizations endless material and literally a belief system that this is an obligation of every one of them to do to missionarize jews for anyone to believe anything else it's not about disagreeing with me it's simply about going to all the 80 or so million evangelical christians and telling them none of you know what you're talking about about your own beliefs perhaps you can say they don't know what they're talking about arturo but you can't tell them they don't know what they're talking about in regards to their beliefs but unfortunately some people in the jewish world are so arrogant that they think that they know more about christianity than the christians this is the most bizarre thing in the world but nonetheless they think that and this is why it's a sad sad day for me because i know that most people are gonna view this and do nothing because they think it's just gonna go away they think they're not gonna be affected by it because they live somewhere else because they live in a different place a different community with a different mentality but if this happens it'll affect all of us some more some less but it will have an impact on all of our israel i hope i'm wrong i really do rambam writes can there be a greater stumbling block than christianity can there be a greater stumbling block for jewish people than christianity um people ask me how do you minister to jewish people and it depends on who you minister to they're all different but but but in in some messianic circles they don't want to say problems so they say tree and yes okay that's fine but my scripture says it's the power of the process the power of salvation to the jew first you're gonna bring people to face christianity in a synagogue a place where they think that anybody that's speaking must be a kosher person and you're gonna bring them the greatest stumbling block that exists in the world [Music]
