[Music] which brings us to the current disaster in the world in the kiru world today unfortunately we have many problems every day there's someone that decides that they need to rebuke the rebuker they see shabat lives next door to them for five 10 years they never say a word they see the guy that's cheating on his wife they never say a word they're friends with the guy that's stealing they don't say nothing they hang out with the guy that's eating t on a daily basis I'm going to mind my business I'm not going to tell him he'll find out on his own they see the guy driving to SCH on Shabbat 20 years no one says a word I don't want to turn them off instead they contact me and they said you know you shouldn't rebuke people it's not a good way to help people do chuva it's not a good way to help people get closer to Hashem you're supposed to do it out of love supposed to do it say nice things to them say that they're good and they're nice and they're wonderful and hem loves them and that's how you help people do chuva and usually my question is how many people have you helped to Chua and the answer is always the same zero nothing I said how do you know this sh works then say well all the rabbis are using it look Rabbi though and so Rabbi so and so he's got 500,000 followers he's got a 100,000 followers he has an organization that gets a million dollars a month in donations he wrote 27 books he did this he did that I said okay but how many people did chuva how many people did Chua goes well if nobody did chuva how would he get all these donations I said donations don't mean somebody did Chua it just means donations it means money came in one thing has nothing to do with the other but the worst part of it all is that even though this is expected the most difficult part to deal with is when you have these people come to you from a place you never thought they will they used to call themselves your friends friends so this happens regularly and just last night this person that used to come to my house show up unannounced came and decided that it's time for him and his zero experience to rebuke me and tell me that I'm not doing right and I'm not doing this and I'm not doing that and he knows was more than me and he learned a lot more than me because he's religious from birth and even though he's only 18 or 19 years old that doesn't mean anything he knows more than me he's more learned than me and he did this and he knows that and he knows and he's got all these books he's got a whole library of books and he's knows all of these sikim that he's met in his life the problem is that sikim don't know him he knows them he saw them from far or maybe they gave him a but they don't know him he has the books but he never read them I know people like this my whole life when I was in a business World these people would come to my office he said yeah yeah I know uh Carl ion and Eddie Lampert and all these different Big Wigs all these different billionaires I know this guy I know that guy this billionaire and this millionaire and I'm friends with this guy and this guy's my neighbor I said said oh wow okay good so you want to go into the business no problem give you a job why aren't you working in a big firm with all these contacts oh no no I I want to work at a small firm there always a nice excuse I want to work at a small firm I said okay you got it their loss is my benefit fall for it every time you got this contact and that contact no problem go ready go my little daughter she likes saying ready go I said okay ready go so they start working a week passes by two weeks pass by a month passed by three months pass by and I see that the least productive people every time but they're very good at telling me about who they know they know this one they read that book they met that one and this one's their neighbor and this one is this and this one is that so during the crisis of 2008 Market crisis for anyone that had a little bit of experience knew that it was the biggest opportunity in the last century to invest invest when the Market's down not when the Market's up you buy when everyone's selling was an opportunity to buy if you had cash we had an opportunity to buy a company that was worth at least a billion and a half dollars for 85 million nothing peanuts you make money on day one now I didn't have 85 million liquid need to raise the money so where do I go hey the couple of guys that know this one and that one and this one and that one right I said hey this is chump change to the people you know these guys do $85 million deals each on a daily basis pick up the phone call them set up a meeting I'll show up ready go you got the context you know Eddie and you know Steve and you know this one you know that one ready go you've been here six months warming up my chair collecting a salary fine no problem now it's the time to use these contacts you said you know this one and that one and this one and that one ready go all of a sudden it's a busy signal all of a sudden I don't know him that well like I'm not I'm not really sure if he's gonna talk to me about like I don't know like I all of a sudden it's not like that you know it's not like that it's always an excuse what what what what do you mean you put on your resume you know this one and that you you you know them what happened now it's go time go nothing zero same thing goes for all these Heroes I know this sadik and I read this book and I have a collection of books yeah you know these people they know you they know you they're going to vouch for you they tell you that what you're doing is right because if what you're doing is right you have to rip half the Torah because if rebuke is hate that means that everything that mosu said is hate and then you have to rip the other half of the Torah because everything that Hashem said was rebuke also rebuke does not mean hate rebuke rebuke comes out of love you rebuke someone to correct them because it hurts you to see them failing it hurts you to see them going the wrong direction you see your son keep putting the puzzle the wrong way you're not going to let him just continue wasting his life with the wrong way tell him listen that one piece it's going to ruin the whole puzzle just take that one out not because you hate him because you love him you see your son writing the wrong way you going say no no honey it's the wrong way you want to go that way you see your neighbor doing something wrong building something wrong you say hey neighbor that one thing over there it's it's going to be in your way after you finish you just don't see it now but I have experience by the time you finish it's going to ruin the whole thing and have to destroy the whole thing oh why' you say it because I love you not because I hate you but DAV warned us about it and he said in 118 Circle me they also Surround Me In The Name Of Hashem I cut them down they encircle me like bees but they're extinguished as fire th thorns in the name of Hashem I cut them down is telling us several things in one of the we had it's not the it's not the bees that are obvious that hurt the most it's not the ases of the world that tried to debate me about Christianity that I care about it's the socalled sikim the ones that think that sikim they come to me no I'm in the name of hem in the name of hem I'm here to rebuke you I'm here to tell you you're doing wrong I said okay no problem you think I'm wrong no problem but how come all the in your community you don't re them how come all the women that are walking in your sh half naked you don't say a word to them how come all the people that are into married you welcome them into youru why let's say my strategy is wrong let's say fine I'll take it what about yours the name of hem they come and how they come says they come like bees they think they're doing a Mitzvah but he says we fight them in the name of and all of these fakers will be destroyed eventually we don't want bad for anyone we want everyone to do Chua but before you go in in the way of someone that's trying to sacrifice their life to help people do cha ask yourself a question all those people you know all those all of those books that are on your shelves that you haven't read they agree with you or is it just like three verses in some par that you mistranslated those books those the Z the Mish all of those books all of those sadik that you say you know they're going to vouch for you they're going to sign a check for 85 million or when you come say hey I rebuked the guy that left the life of millions to work for free to help do I rebuked him him so he stopped so he's not doing it anymore he gave up he retired he went back to Wall Street they're going to vouch for you in they're going to come to you and yeah yeah he did right he did right I'll vouch for him they wrote the check they wrote it I said no I don't know him that guy I wouldn't even mess with that guy I blessed him that was an accident I didn't know it was him it was before he did this craziness I wouldn't have blessed him if I knew oh it wasn't like that I I wasn't sure all of a sudden no one's knows this is important to know it's important to know because unfortunately the go Magog that we've been talking about for the last three years of doing lectures it starts at home it starts inside the is inside the goog is inside Satan is inside it's all inside what are we doing today to help am ch [Music]
