[Music] so to answer the question of what happens when you see a bunch of people that are violators of Shabbat they're ruining your Shabbat and the reality of it is that the rebuke is more on you than it is on them and the reason is is because instead of being upset that they're shabat and they're ruining Shabbat you should be upset that they're not keeping Shabbat for their own Souls it's like seeing your own brother or sister commit suicide how would you feel about it if you saw your brother or sister son daughter mother or father jump off a bridge would you feel upset about it that they ruined your day you're not sad you're not sad what you're doing is you're trying to do something about it you're not sad when you see you're not sad when you see uh you know people going against hem if you're doing something about it you should only be sad if you're not doing anything about it so doing something about it involves a lot of things what you can do is already start planning okay I don't know this person but what I'm going to do I'm gonna I know their friend I'm gonna talk to their friend to ask him to introduce me so I could talk to this friend So eventually in a week two three or four five weeks I'm G to tell them by the way you can't drive on Shabbat so you can't tell them right the second but you're using your clever mind that Hashem gave you to get to know them not because you want another friend in your life who has who has friends who has time for friends but you should know in thear it says RAB RAB Zer became friends with a bunch of criminals one day one of the one of thees became friends with a bunch of criminals and everyone said what are you doing kesim friends with all these criminals I'm doing K and I get them all do chuva one day he died and the criminals said to themselves the ones that were still 5050 they said listen when Z was alive at least somebody was praying for us somebody was praying for us who's going to pray for us now we have to do Chua 100% all of them did Chua so we're not telling you to go make friends or go make parties because you need to socialize but if you're already out there you're part of a community become friends with people you can help bring them to lecture give them a CD arrange a lecture at the besset arrange a lecture at theet arrange a lecture at your house arrange a lecture at the local place somewhere do something and I'll make it even easier for you because my wife God bless her she sadik so I have to listen to her she says I have to do more K so I'm G to do make a deal with you if you can get 50 people 50 people you get 50 people I'll go anywhere free no price only price you have to pay whatever cost me to get there if it's let's I have to fly to California just play my flight if it's New York just pay my flight I have family that lives in most places other than that it's free no charge for the lectures you don't have to sponsor anything just get 50 people get 50 people I'll come if it's local if it's Florida I'd be happy to at 3 o'clock in the morning I'll come just get the people get don't get three people they're bored and they're drinking coffee and smoking uh uh a marijuana and they want to listen to somebody because they're high get if you get people that are willing to listen that are willing to you know do something at least be receptive I'll come free you don't have to worry about money now you have to worry about oh it was a $100 which it's a $115,000 where it's a $15 million it's nothing it's free just get the people people spend fortunes promoting events for no reason promoting events for grand opening of a salon grand opening of a new car lot grand opening of whatever it is they spent 10 10,000 20,000 just promoting an event for no reason whatsoever you want to spend a few dollars promote an event get 50 people get a 100 people get 200 people to come to a certain bitet that's the only money you have to spend because for me I'm just gonna come there and talk anyone wants to donate don't want to donate no problem but you have at least half the battle all you have to do is get people get people and the reason why I say 50 is because if I tell you there's no limit then I know that I'm going to get five million phone calls tomorrow with there's one guy here in the middle of Africa there's three people in Kuwait there's six people in New York under the bridge there's one guy tweaking and uh and uh we don't really know where he is but uh it looks like he's interested you know like you have to M you have to be serious you have to get a certain amount of people if it's really really close then maybe even less but the point being is that if I'm traveling it has to be more point is is that you don't have to worry about money you could literally do kiru for free free get the speaker get everything free most places you can get for free as far as look this place we don't pay for it they're kind enough to give us this place to uh give a lecture every week for free you want to get 50 people next week going have 500 people next week fill up places so the the biggest battle that people have with kiru usually the Satan tells them listen you can't afford to do kiru you can only do kiru once you're rich you know go make a few million dollars in your business then you could do kiru you'll open a Yeshiva you'll open a CO you'll sponsor 50 million CDs everyone that doesn't have a CD player you'll buy him a CD player too people the Satan convinces us that we need money to do kiru you could do kiru for free you're already on the internet instead of looking at Ducks crossing the road take a link share it on one of the social media websites that you're already on you have a few bucks sponsor some CDs send them to people I'll send them to people you don't have any money and you don't have the internet great you have you have a mouth okay get your local community tell them hey by the way show up here at 8:00 why something really interesting get 50 people to show up or more I'll be there that's it listen in the business world I cost $3,000 an hour $3,200 an hour in the business world so you could feel you could feel special I'm spending five six hours for you for free so it's about you know 156,000 for free why K and I have to listen to my wife so gave us a lot of today ma told us yes you could be nice to people you could say hello to people that's not going to help them it's not going to help them what's going to help them is if you're Shalom you bring them God you bring God to them that's going to help them if you bring God to them then you'll understand the rest of this mishna that says that it's better to be at the tail of the Lions of theik than at the head of the but if you're still thinking it's just hello you have no idea what the rest of this mishna means what does a fox have to do with a lion maybe the Lion's going to eat the fox maybe the fox going to fool the lion what does it have to do with anything why has nothing to do with hello has to do with God bring God to people bring the truth to them because as long as there's no one out there that's bringing the truth to people we're going to continue suffering the disaster that's happening in Saudi Arabia will spread to more places the terrorism that is in America will spread to more places the anti-Semitism that's all over the world will spread to more places things will get worse until we do something about it gave us enough information to encourage us to push us to do something about it you want to continue chasing Bitcoins enjoy eventually it's going to be all worthless you want to continue focusing your entire life chasing money chasing material chasing all this stuff that you can't do anything about fine it's all going to be worthless eventually all of it going to be worthless the only thing you're going to have is they're going to ask you how many Souls did you save how many Souls did you save when am left Egypt only 20% survived some say much less some actually say it's less than 1% of am survived Egypt the rest of them didn't want to do chm killed all of them the prophet say that at the end of times it's going to be repeat a repeat of Egypt meaning the same thing happened that in Egypt is going to happen again so some are saying that just as there was few that survived the Exodus meaning only 20% or less survived the Exodus only 20% or less are going to survive when the Messiah comes which means that when mashia comes it's going to be very interesting if you were responsible for anyone surviving because not many Will Survive so it's GNA be very very precious it's a very precious commodity if you can say Hey mashia listen my shabat wasn't the greatest my weren't the greatest I wasn't the biggest I was really trying but I didn't get there yet but by the way you see those 500 people do I need to say do I really need to say who did it and he's going to tell you no you don't you don't you don't need to say I know why because he could he could see your you don't need to be the biggest you don't need to be a rabbi you don't need to be a speaker you don't need to be anything all you need to be is have a heart be a Shalom be a Shalom bring hem to people bring AEM to people [Music]
