good to be here we had a good sh last
night talk about some interesting topics
some of the questions that uh were asked
after the camera turned off I think
we're even better than the sh but what
could I do it's not my fault I tell you
guys to ask questions you just wait for
me to turn off the camera but
uh we're uh going to continue the same
usual uh M different questions that we
have we're not back to the P vot series
yet uh for the reason that I'm not
really sure yet what
um what is the next step as far as the
next Shure um I know everyone's been
looking forward to some
extent uh to hearing about the
Gom that I've talked about already for
the last month and even for the last
couple of years but uh to be honest with
you I'm not
um I'm not sure if
we are going to give it or not and if we
do decide to give it I'm going to tell
some of you to
leave um and the reason why is because
it's not as great as you think it is
um it's not as fun and it's not as uh
exciting uh as some people think it is
uh it's one of those shes that's going
to shock the Jewish
world but sometimes if you're not
prepared for it it will shock you into
um into a place that uh is very tough to
get out of unless you're going to get
follow-up treatment
constantly um so
on the opposite end of
it on the opposite end of it tonight I
wanted to do a Shure about something
that for whatever reason or another
people don't think we talk about which
is the love of
God you know we constantly talk about
for the last few years about fear of hem
fear of the
almighty and how it's the
foundation of Judaism
how it's a
uh himself said that you know told the
prophets
told and many many other times in the
Tor to mosu and so on that the beginning
of wisdom is fear of asem that one of
the first handful of mitv the fourth
Mitzvah in the
rambam um is a the fear of of hem it's a
uh it's one of the foundations
principles of faith is to fear the
almighty and we talk about this
extensively
about uh number one because it's it is
something that's
foundational uh but number two even more
so is because it's very
rarely a topic that other uh speakers
talk
about most speakers love and enjoy
talking about loving God loving God talk
about love how you love God
and how he loves you and coochie coochi
Co and all that good stuff said all
right so and I've always told you guys
that you know according to
kazal um we have no idea what we're
talking about when we think that we love
God and the reason why is because
according to the sages if you go if you
look at a few different places in thear
and and a few other
places um they Define love very
differently than way do than the way we
do
the way most people Define love is that
you know it's it's usually uh based on
some type of
benefit if you do good for me I love you
you don't do good for me care less about
you but that's not
love love means that
you care enough about another to a point
that it's beyond your control
without a care in the world about the
outcome meaning if you're you have a
wife you love her like this you love her
so much that regardless of whether she
cooks cleans and does anything for you
you still want to give her good you
still want to do good for
her has nothing to do with what she does
for
you nothing to do with it
we learned from
job the prophet there was a noahide a
righteous
noahide he says that even if God were to
kill me he was to destroy me I'd still
serve
him and the
in is a debate is that love or is
that is that love or is that fear of hem
it's a debate why is the debate because
there's a very thin line between the
two why because the first thing you need
to have is first thing you need to have
is fear of the almighty first thing why
as soon as you acknowledge that Hashem
runs the world your world the one in in
your imagination the one outside of your
imagination the one you understand the
one you don't understand the one that's
Sur you the one that's in everything
runs
everything as soon as you understand
that or at least to some extent
immediately you should be scared why
because if you want something something
to change and your whole circumstances
to change like that it's no no questions
asked one day somebody's Alive 5 seconds
later they're not it's not like a oh
listen you ready to die sure I'll give
you there's no notice there's no notice
nobody gets like a you know a message
hey by the way you have five days to
live
so when someone understands
that every single second that they're
alive second I'm not talking about a
week a month a year a lifetime every
second you're alive is a miracle second
you're alive that means there was enough
oxygen that went into your lungs and
your lungs had enough power without you
doing anything there's no battery
connected to them your lungs had enough
power to take it in use it get what they
can out of it and get something that
they don't want out of it that went into
your blood system your blood system had
enough power energy with no battery to
go through your system and your whole
day your whole blood goes through every
single part of your veins every single
cell of blood goes through your entire
body no battery no nothing no
energy and you have the ability to see
you have the ability to hear you have
the ability to speak you have the
ability to do all these different things
but little do we understand and realize
that if just one tiny little blood cell
tiny one not a big one not like a cancer
cell tiny little cell tiny little cell
just decides I'm going to stop
no I'm going to stop I'm going to park
over here I'm going to hang out with a
couple of guys we're going to have a few
beers and we're going to stop over here
we're not going to move anymore we're
tired we're on vacation it's uh holiday
season we're on vacation we're going to
stop over here in this
cell this cell over here right in this
vein
meika Moses Amos this one that one we're
all going to sit over here little do you
know you have a blood clot heart attack
so this is not like a lot of it a little
bit little bit so when you understand
that the very same creator that gave you
life is continuously and actively giving
you life immediately if you still have
you should be
scared
now the natural inclination of fear even
though it should be an instinct Hashem
removed it that's the genius of the
creation
because he
knew explains it
in that he knew that if he made it a
reflex if he made it like a natural
instinct for you to fear him just like
you do breathing just like you do you
know eating seeing and so on and so
forth all the different things that you
have in your body just a natural thing
that you do if the fear of hem which is
extremely logical it's very logical to
fear the Creator if the fear of hem came
to you naturally there would be no
purpose for the world why you would
never
sin you'd never
sin you'd never sin why as soon as you
have immediately you know am I out of my
mind who has time to sin who has the who
has the audacity to
sin so hasem removed it he says you can
get it intellectually you can get it by
actively pursuing
good news now we've talked about this
extensively we continue but
now the say our
sages say that there are levels of there
are levels of fear of hem first level
lowest level is just logical sens
sensible fear of hem which is I don't
want to be punished simple I don't want
to do something bad because I don't want
hm to send me to G home I don't want to
do something bad because I don't want to
be burned forever or even for a day or
even for an hour or even for anything I
don't want to be punished not only that
let's say G is far from your imagination
which for most of us it is it's hard for
us to imagine a place that's just a doom
and gloom type of thing forever it's
hard to imagine you read some you get a
little bit of understanding of what it
is but nonetheless if you don't and it's
still hard for you to imagine
is a easier is an easier G to imagine
what is it this
world you wake up in the morning all of
a sudden your side hurts you have no
idea why is my side hurt yesterday it
didn't hurt why is it hurt something
happened did I sleep wrong how do you
sleep wrong what do you mean you just go
to sleep I've been sleeping for 35 years
how do you just sleep wrong I slept
wrong why I don't know how to sleep all
of a sudden 40 years I'm sleeping 50
years I'm sleeping now I slept wrong now
I found the time to sleep all I do you
mean sleep maybe it's something else you
start your in your mind little computer
maybe it's something else maybe I didn't
sleep wrong maybe there's something
there maybe this maybe that all of a
sudden maybe God's punishing me if
you're sensible all you think you know
what now I know what happened now I know
what happened the rabbi said if you do
this is going to happen it's
happening maybe it's this maybe this is
it you start imagining oh I'm getting
punished right now and no no no n and I
have a growth and I have a this and I
have a that and at the end of the day
nothing happens everything goes back and
you really did sleep
wrong but hem wanted you to have that
why to wake you
up to wake you up sometimes
unfortunately there is there is
something so the sensible fear
sensible is one where you don't want to
be punished in this world
if you tell somebody what's the you know
worst thing that could happen to you
usually they don't think about health
because people take it for granted to be
healthy especially if they've never been
sick really sick not cold and things
like that uh so they tell you a if I
lose my job if I lose my money if I lose
you know usually something
material something physical people are
so connected to the to to their physical
world that the calls money damim meaning
blood why you spend your whole life all
of your blood chasing
money this is why someone before they
become a spendaholic before they start
spending all the their money on stupid
things and I don't just mean spending it
on paintings for $46 million I mean
spending it on things that are just
completely not
necessary like some people spend an
exorbitant amount of money on
cars you know listen I'm not saying you
have to uh go on a on a on a bicyc
everywhere but when some people are
spending 100,000 150,000
$250,000 on cars when in reality they
can't afford
it now if you're a multi-millionaire you
have uh tens of millions of dollars in
the bank to you it's the same thing as
any Average Joe spending 30,000 fine
enjoy but the reality is is that if you
walk around in any neighborhood that's
middle
class you'll see that in many cases the
cars in the lot are more valuable than
the
house the cars in the lot I mean I'm
telling you walk around sometimes with
my wife and kids and you see you know
listen I want good for everyone I don't
have an I care less about it but I see
some people you have a house regular
normal
house whatever the house I don't know
where 300,000 400,000 whatever it is but
you see there's two three cars in a lot
two three cars in a in a you know
sitting over there and the cars I mean
you easily 300,000 easily each one two
each one is 100,000 each one is
75,000 the cars which are not going to
survive more than just a few years are
more valuable or at least close to being
as valuable as the
house best part is most of the time the
house is
rented that's the best part the house is
rented the car is rented everything is
rented and no one has any money
so the thing is though is that when you
actually start learning M you start
understanding wait a minute if
money is viewed as blood in the Torah
that means that I've spent a x amount of
blood x amount of my life to get this
money so before I spend an extra 20,000
30,000 50,000 or better yet 5,000 before
I spend an extra $5,000 getting a
navigation system I'm never going to use
getting those extra cool looking uh rims
that no one's ever going to care about
because no one cares about your rims
other than the guy that's selling it to
you the next time that I I'm going to
spend an extra
$5,000 on this nonsense let me think
about how much of my
life did I have to give for this is if
you think about it logically if you
think about it that way wait a minute to
make $5,000
that was a month worth of
work that was two weeks worth of work
let's say an average person maybe it's a
month worth of work so it's a month
worth of work you're going to spend on
rims like think about you woke up in the
morning and after you finished doing
everything you had to do you went to
work from 9: to whenever and you worked
and you dealt with customers and
headaches and biot and problems and this
and that and all these things every
single
day for a whole
month for what for rims for a radio for
a navigation system that you actually
work a whole entire month for something
you can't even keep why because you have
to give it back after a couple
years so this is us when we don't think
when we don't think we end up doing what
we talked about in last night's Shure
and get to such a point where hasem
gives us a gift that becomes a curse
what's a gift is a curse he gives us
more money than we know what to do with
and we end up buying stupid things like
this for $46
million this is a painting that is wor
it's was sold recently for $46
million okay this is the Sher last night
so I guess none of you guys watched the
she yet now I'm asking you which one do
you think is better
looking okay this is my daughter's
painting she's two and a half I want
only 30 million for this definitely only
30 million there's more colors on this
one more action in this one look at the
expression on this painting we're trying
to raise 250,000 I'm going to raise it
for 30 million 30 million guys that's it
you have a discount it's much deeper
much deeper look at the expression over
here here she was very happy here a
little less happy here she got the toy
oh over here she was watching one of our
cartoons I mean come on this was
actually I was upset that's why there's
black over here ab's upset there
expression anyway you guys don't know
anything about painting 30 million is a
discount this is what happens when
you're stupid this is what happens guys
this is what happens you spend $46
million on this so my point is is if the
person learned a little bit of M learn a
little bit of of M
just the value of things based on on the
of of
hasem foolishness wouldn't
happen so the sages say that when you
start understanding the concept of that
someone is watching
you someone is listening to you someone
is writing down every single thing that
you do to such an extent that when you
get up to sh after 100 20 they're going
to even judge you on the basic nonsense
conversations between you and your wife
what's a basic nonsense conversation
what is it did you turn off the light
no that they're going to judge you on
that they're going to judge you did you
spend did you say no I didn't did you
answer appropriately did you use too
many words because it says don't spend
too much time speaking to your wife
about nothing if you're going to speak
about something it has to be Val Val
don't just talk about nothing oh what
about the flowers what about this what
about the weather what do you think it's
going to be tomorrow what do you think
about the president you think it's good
that he made Jerusalem the capital what
do you think of this what do you think
of that all the stuff that people love
to talk about in
sh hey look how much you spent you lived
80 years and you spent 15 of them
talking about the
president and you aren't even a
politician so these are things you have
to take into consideration when you
have
now the sages explain in
job the when they talk about the debate
why is there a debate they said job job
that got M tested a test that we can't
even
imagine in a matter of moments he went
from being a multi-billionaire not
millionaire
billionaire to losing all of his money
nothing
zero it wasn't like it went down over
months and little bit no no one time one
day he has hours later nothing that's
just the beginning 10 Sons dead same day
not even enough time to mourn one and
then get to the next one and get to all
of them done one thing they all went to
have a little
lunch the wind came made the house
collapse collapsed on all of them they
all died same day same time
children went from being perfectly
healthy Prophet kados respected to being
so sick he couldn't move he couldn't do
anything and there was so many
infections in his all over his body that
there were worms coming out of his body
not just coming
in why why was he tested it was tested
if you look at the beginning of the Book
of
Job the Satan came to
Hashem after
hem was proud was showing pride in in
his in his son job he said look at my
son job look how righteous he is he
gives he gives M he's sadik he's a
prophet everything is
good so Satan says to
hasem he's only this way because you
gave him everything you gave him
everything but if you take away
everything from him he won't love you he
won't fear you he won't nothing hasem
says you have the opportunity to test
him now the question is why is it that
hasem allowed the Satan to test
him what did job do the fact that he
gave him everything he decided to give
him everything hasm decided to give him
everything why did he also give the
Satan opportunity to test job so now the
give a couple of reasons number one job
was one of the three key servants
to there was there was and there was job
when asked them what should we do with
is Bam said kill them kill them they're
going to torture you they're going to
this they're going to that he was an
enemy of Amy sled from the
beginning his punishment eventually was
getting killed and G
forever spoke out said no they didn't do
anything they built your country look
you don't you remember
yadik don't you remember in this week's
par he built the country made you guys
rich what are you g to kill them now you
g to make them slaves what are you gonna
do against them
theik why you going to go against them
and he realized they didn't like that
answer so he ran away what was his what
was his
reward eventually he became one of the
most righteous converts that ever lived
there's a whole par in the Tora
called why based on but what's the par
about is it about no what's the par
about ten commandments mat t
t job also agreed with but he wasn't
vocal about it wasn't vocal about it he
didn't say nothing he just ran away I
quit I don't want to deal with
Communists like you guys terrorists
running away Shem says you stand quiet
at a time of need you're punished not to
be quiet you have to be vocal you have
to stand up for the truth even though he
was righteous even though he wasn't like
wasad so you had to speak out you made a
mistake so that gave as soon as there
was a as soon as there was a case
against them in sh hasem says okay test
them go ahead let's see
let's see now he has to speak out why
because he's defending his own life now
that's one
reason another
reason says that hem says to not to job
job the is a case against you that the
Satan is bringing what's the case
against you case against you is that
when you build a Suka you build a Suka
there's a few different ways you the
Suka the word
Suka he three
letters but the in Hebrew unlike all
other
languages the words are connected to
what they actually mean it's not like
just some nonsense word that somebody
made up out of their head the words in
Hebrew and the holy language not modern
Hebrew but just the holy language are
connected to what they have to do so for
example uh Seuss horse also means to go
forward in war which is exactly what is
the nature of the horse to go run into a
war he doesn't run away from a
war Suka also gives you a hint of the
three different ways to build a kosher
Suka is a circle or a square you could
put meaning a Suka with four corners
four four walls four walls that's the
that's the most kous Suka you can
possibly have four walls it's a house M
house beautiful the greatest Suka you
could possibly have if you have four
walls then you have the most common one
which is okay which is the that's three
walls three
walls that's it's good it's not the best
it's not the worst what's the least but
yet still kosher
it's the least if there's no walls
obviously it's not Suka if there's one
wall it's not a Suka if there's two
walls it's not a Suka what does it have
to be it has to be two walls and a small
one two walls and a
little two walls
and so Hashem comes to aob to job and he
says yo had opportunities you had this
you had that great
asked questions and you said listen I
could speak out but then I'll put my
life in danger you don't have to put
your life in danger technically you have
to put your life to need for anybody I
ran away I didn't say for but I didn't
say against I ran away saved my own life
it
says your own life first he says this is
the way you lived your life in general
in essence you just got by you did the
basic minimum you did what you had to
you did what you had you feel you bought
400 bucks even though you had the
ability to buy
$2,000 you know something special
lifetime investment beautiful sadik so
on and so forth you didn't do that what'
you do no no what is 400 what's the
what's the least I can get one for
that's kosher not not kosher you're not
buying it from a reform with that has
inside
the you know you have you have a kosher
you know they have they have a they
print it from a PR they put on it they
don't put the real par you're supposed
to
so what's the least expensive one 400
okay I'll get the
400 this is what they get little bar
mitzvah boys usually to you you have the
$400 like for a little B MIT boy but
you're 35 45 50 years old why you just
want to get by I just want to get by
it's not that you don't have the ability
that you have the ability meaning if
that's all you have it's all you have no
problem but if you're making 50,000
$60,000 and you feel comfortable
spending you know $500 a month on your
car $1,000 a month on your car but
you're not willing to spend $500 $1,000
$2,000 on your eternity it's a problem
here
lopsided is having some
problems soem says
to this how you lived your life your
mitvah you just got by just got by you
did the basic minimum whatever you had
to do you did but the basic minimum
so when there was a time of was a case
against you the basic minimum wasn't
enough it wasn't enough to protect you
what is this
like page 43 it says that they came to
the um they came to theim the Angels
Came to
theim and they asked them I know we have
a Mitzvah we have a Mitzvah in the tor
of
uh wearing wear in wear
in so Katina asks the
angel he says do you punish a
person who doesn't perform Mitzvah where
technically he doesn't have
to why why he doesn't have to because
the you only have to wear it if you're
wearing clothing with four
corners if you're not wearing Four
Corners you don't have to wear tiit
that's the
if it's four corners you must wear if
has four corners but most clothes today
doesn't have four corners so if you're
not wearing Four Corners you're not
obligated to perform this positive
Mitzvah you're not obligated you should
but you're not obligated SOA one of the
asked an angel asked an angel angel
angel how are you how's everything how
is it in sh I have a question for you Mr
Angel Mr Angel do you punish someone in
sham when you see people what happens to
them after they leave this world they go
over there you see what happens yeah I
see what happens okay do they punish
someone when they don't perform a
Mitzvah because technically they don't
have to it's a positive Mitzvah but they
don't have to perform it they should
wear but they don't have to you're
specifically talking
about and the angel says yes during the
times of a negative decree of a bad
decree on am
is when there's a it's a time of Wrath
when as a
decree against the nation hasem is
sending a punishment Holocaust of you
know all types of asot that happen in
the world fires pgms inquisitions local
National whatever it is when there some
type of decree against the nation he
says that's when those
cases get put up to Sham and all of
those people that didn't perform the
Mitzvah that they could have they get
punished
why they get punished because had they
done those
MIT they could have turned the tides
around and there wouldn't have been a
decree until then it wasn't a problem
until then there wasn't a problem you
didn't have to do Mitzvah but the fact
that you didn't do it eventually you you
led to the shortage so you get punished
for
it so when people tell
me I'm sorry it's 41A
this when people tell me you
know uh you know you don't have to you
don't do you don't do so 43b it actually
says
says the punishment the punishment for
not
wearing a white sit the white strings is
much worse than the blue even though in
the Torah it says we with the blue uh
blue string on there says the punishment
for not wearing the white is much
greater why because the blue you're an
you don't have you can't it's not like
you don't want to you
can't you can't do it because you don't
know what's anymore but the white you
can and you chose not to the white you
chose not to you have a problem so now
this all has to do with when you
have it's not just that you want to have
a good report with shamay and not get
punished
in this world or the
next
but increases over time to a point where
you're now worried about a relationship
a relationship with the
Creator and you're saying this is like a
husband wife relationship husband wife
relationship it's not that the wife or
the husband doesn't do something to
offend or hurt their spouse because
they're scared there's going to be
violence if it's a healthy relationship
ship they don't do it because they're
scared to hurt the
relationship so the highest level of the
highest level of fear of the
almighty is when you're scared not of
punishment but you're scared of hurting
the connection between you and God
you're scared of hurting the
connection so here theim say job
got
there job got to a point where he was
scared he was doing all the mitv but he
was scared to hurt the relationship but
then R says no no no he was at love he
was at love not at fear this wasn't it
was love why is there why is there a
debate here in thear he says because the
highest level the highest level of fear
highest level you have the bottom you
have the highest level of fear
is the
beginning of
love the highest level of fear of hem is
the lowest level of Love of
Hashem meaning that most of us in this
world that live today 8 billion people
have no concept of what it means to love
AEM no concept but we're going to talk
about it once and for all for people to
understand what does it mean to love hem
what does it mean to love
hm now
the
rambam
in chapter 10 Al
6 says it's well known in clear in a
clear
matter that the love of God will not
become attached within a person's heart
until he becomes
obsessed with it at all times as is
fitting Le leing all things of this
world except for this meaning this
becomes number one 2 3 4 5 6 it's the
whole
list all he cares about is finding a way
to love God he doesn't care about money
he doesn't care about girls he care
about guys care about nothing all he
cares about is
God to such an extent like y like job
what if he would kill me I'd still serve
him if he would kill me why I love him I
love him he's the greatest but he's
killing you I love him but he's killing
you I love him but he's killing you I
love him he's the best you insane yes
about
God that's love it's not something
rational this was implied the rambam
continues by the Commandment in SE
Deuteronomy 65 love God your God with
all all of your heart and all of your
soul this is
in it says one can only love
God as an outgrowth of the knowledge
with which he knows
him the nature of one's love depends on
the nature of one's
knowledge the nature of one's love of
hem depends on the nature of one's
knowledge
a small amount of
knowledge arouses a small amount of
love a greater amount of knowledge
arouses a greater amount of
love in so many words the rambam
explains to you
a a foundation of Torah foundation of
life Foundation of everything the more
you know about God the more you'll have
the ability to love him but if you're an
ignorant fool it's impossible for you to
love
God maybe you'll have fear but you're
definitely not going to love him it's
impossible
so
here we see that the equation has
changed drastically why because most are
ignorant about God but they say no I
love him I love him I love him he's the
best I love him I love him I love him
he's the best said
what does it mean to love
God now originally when Hashem created
the world the zad says that he created
with
mid with the trait of rebuke of
punishment of
judgment but then he saw
that the world would not survive without
having some type of
Mercy we sin we get punished on the spot
we're not going to
survive so he added Mercy but he never
removed the
Judgment Z says why did he never remove
the Judgment why just with
Mercy he says because the Judgment part
the Judgment trait of Hashem that he
created the whole world with that's what
keeps the world going it's not the mercy
part that keeps the world going it's the
Judgment part that keeps the world going
why why is the rebuke why is the
punishment the parts that keeps the
world going it says it stops the world
from being the same as the generation of
Noah the fact that people get sick the
fact that people lose money the fact
that people get divorced the fact that
people have problems in their life that
keeps them at
Bay that humbles
people the fact that one day you're oh
I'm president I'm principal I'm
millionaire I'm Z this and next thing
you day you're consti you can't go to
the bathroom we're not talking about you
had a depression you bankrupt no simple
you can't go to the bathroom that's it
your whole day is shot your whole life
is shot nothing matters your billions
don't matter your doctors don't matter
nothing matters you can't go to the
bathroom simply you can't go to the
bathro that's it I'm not talking about
you lost your money about your wife
hates you or your kids are on cocaine
nothing nothing happen other than that
you cannot go to the
bathroom everything becomes meaningless
that
problem takes out the air takes out the
air from
even so Hashem left it left it in the
world because that's what keeps the
world
going now unfortunately
sometimes people still sin even though
they understand the concept of
punishment and they'll even tell you I
agree I agree to this punishment I agree
that maybe the reason why I'm having so
many problems my husband is not treating
me well my kids hate me my this my no
one's listening on this I know it's
because probably I'm not
modest but I can't do it I swear I can't
I can't be modest I have to wear almost
no clothes I have to act like a nothing
you I'm I deal with some people like
this I tell them listen listen you know
your husband is giving you problems your
kids are giving you problems everything
in your life is one big problem all you
have is problems maybe at this point you
realize you need God oh no no I agree
with you I need God of course I pray to
him all the time said yeah but if you
pray to them all the time don't you ask
yourself once in a while why isn't he
answering well yeah it's a good question
why isn't he answering I said because
between you and me He considers you
praying to him naked and it's not an
appropriate
prayer you go to the King of Kings naked
yeah but he created me doesn't make a
difference it doesn't make a
difference just because your parents saw
you a little baby naked doesn't mean
that when you're 20 years old it's still
okay for them to see you
naked yeah but he saw me naked I came
out of my mom's body it doesn't make a
difference it's not appropriate
yeah but she's my mom it doesn't make a
difference yeah but he's my dad he's
also a guy it doesn't make a difference
anyone with a little SE knows it does
not make a difference it's not
appropriate it's not
appropriate it's not appropriate even
more so with God even more so with
God so if you're praying to God with
no if you're praying to God with no goof
if you're praying to God in
inappropriate way don't be surprised
he's not answering don't be
surprised but some people are tough tell
them that's the answer he said you know
what I agree it's tough okay it's tough
but you want your prayers answered and
they still go they still go they still
go until hasem breaks
them sometimes has to break somebody in
order for them to wake
up it's like they're a uh go go go like
a nut like a nut crack walnut
walnut like a walnut beautiful stuff
amazing delicious stuff inside but until
you get there is like sweat coming out
of your
eyes some people like
that you tell somebody listen you need
to work on your midot you need to stop
being angry you need to stop being cheap
you need to stop being this stop being
this you got to work on yourself yeah I
know you're right but it's impossible
for me it's not impossible for you
saying that is by the way it's heresy
why you're saying AB in sh gave you
something give you a test you can't pass
that's not an
ABA ABA doesn't do that hasm doesn't do
that
so people need to understand that the
mitvah that you have as far as loving
God is a commandment from the Torah it's
a commandment from it's not like it's a
level you should aspire to hopefully one
day you're obligated to do it but now if
we just learned that to even get to the
highest level of is almost impossible
for most people in this world because
they don't even know they need it how
are we going to get to love well first
we need to learn about
it
now during this amazing last eight days
of holiday of of kanuka we read the Hal
Hal every day and N is
beautiful and you read ones you read on
holidays and so
on and one of the parts in it
says and one of the parts it
says Hashem is going to punish all of
this idol worship all of the PE all of
the people that all the idols themselves
and the people that have made
Idols but then it
says so like them like the Idols are
going to be their
makers and then it says the ones that
are not what are the ones that are not
how they symbolize they not it
says anyone that relies on these Idols
gets punished
now
trust because of that he helps them he's
their
Shield the uh house
ofon trusts in hem and because of that
Hashem is their shield and he helps them
the people who fear Hashem trust in
Hashem because they fear Him they end up
trusting him and because of that he ends
up being their Shield so how do we get
to that point how do we get get to that
point now you read a couple times a day
and you should
know by heart but you're still still
supposed to read it still supposed to
read it gives you helps you with kavana
helps you with understanding what the
words mean and so
on but it says exactly what you need to
do what your purpose in life is it says
after you
say vers in the
Torah then you
say and you shall love
God Hashem your God with all of your
heart with all of your
life and with all of your
money all of what you have all of your
possessions this is a commandment this
is three different Commandments in the
Tor three different in
the this
is now before I explain what this means
because explains exactly what all of
this means before we get into that it
says all the different things you need
to do and you should put
on you put the on the arm on on the head
and then you uh you listen to what God
Said and he gives you reward for it but
if you
don't if you don't you have a problem
what's the
problem says and hasem becomes upset
what upset he gets angry what's
angry he stops the sky what stops the
sky no more rain can't eat anymore no
food famine that's Gom in this
world let's gain them in this world
anyone that doesn't just try fasting for
two and a half
days try fasting for one day we almost
feel like we're dying one day come on
you have to do whole thing can't do half
there's no there's no like lency for
half half on I'll pray for it I'll pray
a little water just a little water
what's a little cares about a little
water can't he cares a little water try
fasting a little bit more than the day
you already before the fast starts what
do they say before the it's going to be
a hot day you still have to fast it's
hot it's hot I'm already hot now I'm
like well you're in the house it's air
conditioner yeah but it's going to be
hot tomorrow I'm fasting tomorrow but
it's not hot now they're already worried
about the fast so imagine it's not a
fast imagine Zen Fest imagine you just
can't eat there's no food there's no P
there's no money there's no nothing zero
everything
dies can you imagine that in a nightmare
you can't imagine it in a nightmare so
for not doing there's more details we're
not going to get into it that's the G
next week but just so you know what's
what this whole thing is relying on if
you fulfill these three things you're
good you don't have to worry about
famine you don't have to worry gnome you
don't have to worry about nothing if you
don't you have a serious serious problem
so it
says love God what does it mean love God
how do I know I love God how do I know I
love you I send love letters I write
little things Harmon Card cards I send
hm here I love you how do I know I love
God he says you have to love
him
explains with all of your life meaning
you're willing to give your life to
hasem someone says go worship an idol
you're willing to die not worshiping an
idol someone says go have sex with a
woman you're not allowed to have sex
with a non-jew uh your wife that's n a
uh whatever something you're not allowed
to die three cardinal sins go worship an
idol go this go uh not doing it want to
die for
hem
said you must love hasem with all of
your heart what's all your heart every
moment every opportunity that you have
to think about God that's all you think
about which means all the time all the
time you're thinking about how could I
serve God I'm going to learn T I'm going
to Dov like the ra says how you going to
gain knowledge how you going to love God
gain knowledge so you're learning Tor
you learn here you learn there you learn
in the morning you learn at night you're
doing whatever you need to
do everything's good so let's assume
we're good with the first two let's
assume to everyone in the world W
fantastic we willing to die for God cuz
no one anyone you can ask you want to
die for God for sure it's not even a
thought why you even asking me asking me
you know who I you know kind of sadik I
am you know what kind of sadik I am no I
can see I can see kind sadik you are I
will to die for everyone's will to die
okay say that everyone's will to die for
God no problem now your heart your heart
is clean you don't have any questions
for God you know when there a little bit
of you have a little headache you're not
asking God why is he doing it to me when
when the kids are sick you're not saying
God why you come on hasm you're not
paying
attention who fixed this you not your
heart's clean every time you have an
opportunity to think good okay said no
problem so what's the last one what's
the last stamp
money says when someone goes up to Sham
after 120 they go to the bed of sham
they ask him
questions ask him questions not that
they don't know but they give you the
opportunity to in essence testify
against yourself because you have to
sign the decree at the
end one of the main questions
is did you study tah you made 18 for the
T you learned T you made time to learn T
every day
good you conducted your business with
amuna what does it mean conducted your
business with
amuna aside from the obvious of you were
honest did you give
M did you give the
appropriate did you
steal did you do things that were
dishonest because you weren't so sure if
God's going to give it to you in an
honest way did you work on
Shabbat did you do things to cut some
Corners did you get upset that someone
opened a competition across the room and
you got upset at God because competition
is next door to
you did you help
somebody that needed your help even
though he was also
competition competition came to you but
he's a Jew he says listen I need some
help to get a uh supplier for all this
stuff do you know anybody no no I don't
know my Supply is going out of business
why is your supply going out of business
why you can't help him out he's a fellow
Jew why can't you help him out why can't
you help him out why he's going to steal
from you this is one of the biggest
problems plaguing our people today
people constantly think constantly think
that they're stealing someone stealing
their to such an extent I could tell you
a personal story to such an extent that
this is plaguing also the religious
world don't think it's just a problem
with secular people I had a rabbi
contact me one time and he tells me
listen can you please not
post your uh
charity in my
group don't post you know because
sometimes we post posts you know
different things anyone that wants to
donate their $3 or $10 or whatever they
want to donate or $30 whatever they want
to donate donate we'll do K CD so on and
so forth once in a while we get lucky we
get a 100 bucks but this bothered this
Rabbi my the whole $100 that I get maybe
once in a blue moon it bothered him now
I'm thinking to myself wait a minute
thisan is in him and his team are in
seven of my
groups each that have hundreds of people
he has this little homeless group of 50
people they added me to without me
without telling me and you're
complaining to
me you post whatever you want I actually
tell my people to donate to
you they have a drive they have
something they need something for the
Bess they need something for the col
they need something I told people donate
it's good cause do it what does he do he
comes to me goes no please the board of
our besset told they don't like to see
other
Charities I'm thinking to
myself it's m it's like seriously it's
like you feel like you're dealing with
people that are blind deaf and stupid
all at the same
time but that's the it makes us stupid
it makes us blind it makes us deaf it
makes us everything why because
the
of all your money is a very difficult
mitvah it's a very difficult mitvah to M
give all of your possessions that means
you're willing to do everything else to
everything else too it's the most
difficult of all
three so
now sometimes a person doesn't
understand doesn't
understand so you tell them stories of
some of theim and they say you know what
these are tadik from 2,000 years ago
from a long time ago from this from that
say no you know what it's
now Shalom just passed away big
loss a generation of
Orphans
were nearly running out
of but what a lot of people don't
know about ref Steinman is literally the
amount of opportunities that he had to
fail
the amount of tests that he had in his
life we can't even
count so Livin told
my and he was connected to ra
Stein a few stories that maybe are not
so uh popular or perhaps
known and each one of the stories is
better than the
next so first and foremost millions and
millions of dollars passed through his
people millionaires billionaires would
always would love to give anything
that's related to him anything that's
related to him but he himself if you
look at any of the pictures you look at
any of the videos you have him he lived
in a
5x5 house bed is where same as chair
with a table all the whole house is
maybe worth
$5 living conditions none of us will be
willing to live in it for 5 minutes
forget about a lifetime a week a month
nothing 5 minutes none of us survive in
it you see videos online type in his
name see him talk you see what he lives
in it's unbelievable his bed was made
out of milk cartons milk
crates that's what held up his the The
Mattress you see a couple of one of the
amazing videos a couple
of come to him and they say yeah we have
this problem what's the problem yeah the
student you know keeps applying to come
to the school uh to our school
Yeshiva and uh we really uh you know we
don't want to let her in we don't want
to let her in but the father keeps
complaining and keeps making a balagan
we thought maybe you could talk to the
father maybe uh you could tell him to
just go somewhere
else so stman says wait before I tell
him to go somewhere else why why what's
wrong with his daughter what's happened
what what's why can't she come no you
know it's it's it's there it's
complicated what's so complicated what
is it what is the complicated you know
that you know it's it's no
what you know it's
a you know it's not good for the kids to
be next to

not saying the girl says that's your
problem you have pride you have G

couple of thousand shekels a month 500
bucks a month it's not a lot of money
but 4,000 it's a lot of money every
month you got to pay them it's not like

is this guy so excited to give ra
Steinman a million dollars in Israel why
were people begging him begging him to
take that money begging him to take that
money he wouldn't he doesn't need if
there was no need give it to yes
otherwise for himself not a penny now
it's very normal someone that collect
Thea to get a piece that's what people
do for a living if they're criminals
they take at least
50% if they're righteous that sadik they
still take 10 % righteous people still
take 10% it's no problem there's nothing
wrong with it still you can take a
piece but some thieves take 50 60% the
thieves but if you take a piece take
commission 5% 10% whatever it is no
problem they could have easily taken a
100,000 no questions asked and he's
getting millions of dollars every month
for all this Co he could have easily
been in a mansion uh 50 stories
high take a little piece a little even
if it's just 5% we're not talking about
Tak 50%
5% never in his life did he take 1% 1%
never
why that's a ish kados that's a person
that's kados that's holy
meaning one of the people wanted to
celebrate this big thing that happened
we just
saved all these
things
celebrate you don't have a time time to
celebrate now we're going to celebrate
another time
so pu came up por came up they invite
Steinman for the want to do a
celebration and also for the good things
that have happening are going forward
everyone is doing better we want you to
come join us for the
celebration Steinman appreciated T of
course he
comes and they give him a cookie a
cookie
you know the little triangle cookies
they
have H they h h h i learn something
every day H so to give him a h how they
get
H oh okay so they
G and
uh says what's this what is this
it's embarrassed a little bit what do
you mean doesn't know what a
is what do you do on it what do you do
on it what is it he
goes it's
m it's m not that's what you doing it's
a
cookie
oh since the day that I got do since the
day that I got my own opinion my own
dot I never did a Mot prayer a Mot
blessing on anything other than
daisa what's daa daisa is like a like
um it's it's like uh
oatmeal
oatmeal it's like
food it's like grains it's like nothing
it's like food for either if you don't
have any money and pretty much that's
all you can afford or you're a
baby or you're really old but in essence
what is he telling them his entire life
he did not have a
cookie his entire life he did not have a
cookie a
cookie that's why people want to give
him money that's why ish
kados when this is not about someone
fasting for a day feeling strong this is
not not someone taking on themselves to
watch their eyes for a month this is not
someone that okay I'm becoming a little
more modest I'm going put a suit on or
put a dress on no this is a lifetime
commitment to nothing but
T now we're not rough Steiner men you
can eat cookies enjoy no problem but
this is a isad this is someone that
loved God that's what it means to love
God you love him so much you have no
time or
interest in anything else not even a
cookie why because maybe the cookie
you'll enjoy it too much it's going to
take away from your love of hem the
cookie the cookie the
cookie do you
understand of Stein once said I wish you
know there a lot of he in he go I wish
all of these religious people all of
their everyone is he was a you tell the
truth was
sharp so everyone thinks that all of
what they do is LMA it's all for hem
it's all because they love hem they love
hem they love hem he says I wish I wish
if
1% of all they did was for
Hashem if 1% of all of the mitv that
everyone does just 1% was really forem
just 1%
it would just be 1%
only in essence he told you what I've
been trying to tell people for years he
just did it in five words I've been
doing it two years trying to figure out
a message he just did in one sentence
that's the of a is kados he says loving
hasem is so far from us it's so far from
us it might as well be a different
different world why because in reality
when most of us think that we love hem
it's only because we love ourselves
we're doing what we're doing not because
we love Hashem we're doing what we're
doing because we love
ourselves you're doing the mitv Because
you want a reward for
it you're doing something because it
makes you feel good you get something
out of it you're not like a you're not
like job we say even if he were to
destroy me I'd still do it we're not at
that level we're not doing itma no no
I'm teaching LMA I'm learning LMA you're
meaning just for heaven I'm learning for
this no what do we do we learn because
we want to tell everybody else we know
as soon as someone as soon as someone
learns first thing they do when they
finish hey yeah oh did you learn today
did you learn today they call their
friend oh did you learn today oh you
didn't ah I just finished I just
finished you know sadik I am I just
finished oh you didn't learn today I got
it already it's 8:00 in the morning I
finished that's see that's what I'm
talking about I finished learning at
8:00 in the morning that's how much I
love God you didn't learn for God you
learn to go tell somebody hey you fin I
finished learning at 8:00 in the morning
I'm already finished you wanted the
cavod that even
though even if you start with intentions
that you're not supposed to eventually
it ends up being maybe maybe will be
good intentions but nonetheless it's not
what you say it is it's not because you
love God go someone says no but I do K
all the time yeah you do K because
that's how you get show off everyone
what kind of house you have and what
kind of food you
make and what kind of B you are oh but I
give the school is raising money there's
there's a Yesa raising money uh $2 and a
half million dollar they want to raise
in 32
hours may they succeed now people say
hey I just donate you see I donated
100,000 I don't I'm alni of this school
I did chv because of this school I
donated
100,000 sadik I love hem you don't love
nothing only reason you did it is
because on the website they say so and
so donated
100,000 that's why you did it if they
didn't put your name you wouldn't donate
squat maybe you donate Kai $18 you
donate you wouldn't donate the
100,000 let's call it SP spay let's be
honest with
ourselves okay you donate you get the
Mitzvah you donate it but don't pretend
like you did because you love God so
much because if you did you wouldn't
have waited for them to need a $2 and a
half million
dollars they would have already had it
from you if you loved God so much they
wouldn't need to ask you you would have
loved God so much you would have thought
about what does God want me to do now
because that's all I can think about all
I can think about is what does God want
for me
no what do you think about you thought
about going to make the 100,000 so you
can give
it you understand so that
is our
confusion we're so tied to material that
we we literally it's become part of us
now the
sabok used to be a very very successful
businessman and he ended up becoming had
the to become the one of the one of of
the key students
of I told you the story they met on a
train and so on they took all of his
businesses all of his money and he
spread it everywhere himself didn't he
leave left nothing for himself because
once he saw the imit once he saw the
truth of tah of Hem of just literally
the purpose of life it got to a point
where it started disgusting him it got
to a point where money started being
disgusting to
him now people always asked if money was
so disgusting to him how is he able to
get so much money to build all of these
from
this so one time he goes to
this G this wealthy
guy
and asks him for money the guy gives him
a big amount of money no checks back
then Cash Gold and so
on now there's a guy another Rabbi right
after him online this guy was a
wellknown as wellknown rich guy so you'd
have you know different people they come
at a certain time so it's like a line so
the gets an enormous amount of money
just a second later another Rabbi comes
and
groomed he gives him money gives him a
little donation but the let's say gave
hypothetically a million dollars this
other guy gave him 10,000 still it's
still
a somebody
donate so the r says to he was also also
had no no no difference but he said you
know he had a little bit of he's a Jew
he wants to ask as listen listen you
gave us thank you very much I'm not
complaining I just want to know what's
the reason there's such a big
difference from what you gave him the
sub to what you're giving us I mean he
has a Yesa we have a
Yesa he has students we have students
he's a rabbi I'm a rabbi why is it
because he's a bigger maybe is it
because he has maybe you think he has
more or love like what's the reason I
just want to know I could work on myself
maybe I have the sc one day to get more
I just want to know that's that's for
that's the only reason not
complaining so the a the wealthy guy's
name was Zalman
Zalman he says you when you came to
me I can tell that before you left the
house you asked your wife how you look
you groomed yourself took care of
yourself your suit your shoes your this
you came cuz you about to meet me and
you want to impress upon me and give me
give me respect because you respect the
money now because you respect the money
I want to keep it I want to respect the
money too you respect the money I
respect the money so I want to keep it
why would I want to give you something
you think is good we both agreed it's
good so why would I give you something I
think is good I want to keep it to
myself but
when he comes to me there's no grooming
there's no nothing he comes with the mud
on his shoes it's a uh no no second
things he comes in and he says
zman what is it going to be with you Z
look at all you have here and you have
nothing in
sham none of what you have the Villa the
house the castle the this the that you
can't do anything with it nothing you
could do with it eventually the worms
are going to eat that too they're going
to eat you they're going to eat the the
house they're going to eat everything
the maggots the worms nothing is going
to be left the only thing is going to be
left is MIT and maybe maybe your bones
are going to be left if you're not
jealous of people because if you're
jealous the bones will be gone
too what are we going to be what's going
to be with you
zman and I say to him the only
opportunity I have to actually have
something is if I use what I have here
to get something over there
so I give him as much as I can I give
him a bunch because he's not coming for
the money he's coming to save
me he's not respecting the
money he's giving me an opportunity to
geta that's the difference that's the
difference when you respect money to
that
extent you're not going to want to give
it when you like money you're never
going to have enough doesn't matter how
much you make if you like money you're
never going to be
generous I have a with
money all of the people that like money
somehow they connect to
me so they always tell me about their
Investments and their houses and their
cars and the vacation and the deals and
a this everything but donations Bitcoin
the Bitcoin and they tell me listen you
give me some investment advice because I
got to do this this I don't want to do
investment advice I I'm not doing it for
money you want me to do it for free now
no but listen for the if I make more
money I'm going to give my sale I'm G to
give my sale I'm going to invest a
100,000 200,000 a 300,000 in this this
and this if I make money I'm going to
give 10% bem no problem I said don't
give 10% of bem over there just give it
today you have 3,000 now you have a th
whatever you hav to give 10% give 1% a
day nothing it's all lie it's all an
illusion why they like money so much
it's impossible for them to part with
it this is also one of the reasons why
sometimes people like to give me money
in my hand and I always try to like run
away from it as soon as I started
learning and seeing the outcome of it I
try to tell people don't give me money
in my hints don't give me cash don't
give me check don't give me nothing just
give it on the website go send on the
website send it in the mail don't give
it to me in my
hands don't give it to me in my hands
number one if you continuously give me
money in my hands you're going to stop
wanting to learn from me this is already
AAR it says you lose honor you lose
respect for the teacher once once
there's money exchanging hand to hand
that's number one number two even more
so this is the best test of whether you
really want to give it for the right
reason or
not if you want to give it for the right
reason immediately when you get home
you're going to go on the computer or
you're going to go on your phone or
whatever it is you're going do is $100
thousand a million dollars whatever it
is good luck thank you very much you're
not gonna forget why it's burning in
your heart that you want to give to go
save Jews you want to save your brothers
and sisters you want to go save people
that love God you want to save people
out there in the world it's burning in
your heart not to be a partner it's
burning you it's killing you you're G to
go home you're not even going to go home
you go in the car in the phone you're
sending the money you can't stand it
that you're not part of it but if you're
trying to earn my
cavod you're not going to do it at all
you're not going to do it at all why
he's not going to
know I'm going to shoit the computer I
want to see him when he gets it I want
to see his reaction first of all you
should know I don't have that t you can
give me a million dollars Sal means
nothing to me it didn't mean anything to
me in the past it doesn't mean anything
to me
now I don't have that but the point is
that sometimes I see people they want to
give me money they say oh no no I tell
them no go give it on the website they
never give
anything why it's not the same it's not
the
same now I usually like to mess with
rich people even when I when I was when
I was in Wall Street I used to like
messing with them because I think that
people with with pride you know usually
they deserve to be messed with so for
example sometimes you have a rich people
they get upset when you reach out to
them and they don't know you like for
example we cold call somebody and say
listen you want to invest with us so on
and so forth and some times people get
upset who are you how this this even if
they end up doing business with you
anyway they just always wonder how you
got their name like it's so important
like it's their name is in some safety
box so anyway so somebody just the other
day yeah day of two days
ago reminded me of this because I sent a
an email I have an email list I sent an
email to people and he sent me a reply
he said how did you get my
email like his email is so special how
could I get it first of all he gave it
to me himself he just doesn't remember
it was many years ago when I was in the
business world but that's besides the
point but people used to always ask me
how did you get my phone number how did
you get my phone number how did you get
my name how do you know me like how did
you reach me and what I tell him the
truth what's the truth I bought your
name for five
cents that's the truth I bought your
name for five cents your name is worth
five cents sometimes one
cent now that helped me in a business
World why did it help me in a business
world because the guy whether he had5
million or 10 million or 100 million or
30 million he it just deflated all of
his pride why he became human again he
realized that his name is worth five
cents all of us need to realize our name
is worth five
cents regardless of how much money you
have regardless of how smart you are
regardless of all the good deeds you did
all the good deeds you want to do
enough enough you want to get to a point
of loving God you have to distance
yourself away from these types of
mindsets that makes you think you are
who you
are
now
the
sa one time they tell you a story that
he went to this a this this this this
rich
guy he started telling him same thing
money money money this money is
garbage killing you all your whole world
is money whole world but he got so into
it himself
he got so into it the whole lecture he's
giving he's giving the to the guy he
started getting
himself now T that was with him is
watching this whole thing the the rich
guy he gets so enus he gets so like M
lit up by this m he opens the safe ton
of cash in there he says take everything
take whatever you want
take and it saok says why you giving me
your garbage you take it you keep your
garbage don't give me your garbage I
don't want your garbage and then they
start arguing goes no take no you take
no you take no you take no you take I
don't want your garbage no take my
please for I don't want anything it's
garbage why do I want it take it please
maybe you could do Tora no you take it I
hate it disgusting go on Nish why you
give me your garbage you take it you
throw it they both got into it so much
the little that's there to help the the
sub has no idea what's going on he's
like we came here to raise the money so
he was he was smart he took whatever he
could take
and used it for
years
years years years they M lived off of
this
money but that's
M
that's when someone is able to distance
themselves away from materi material to
such an extent where they realize it's m
it's it's it's it's nothing it's
meaningless doesn't mean you have to go
be homeless doesn't mean you have to go
quit your $200,000 a year job and uh you
know and that's it finish
no understand what you're dealing with
understand that if your material is
becoming a tool that's of the Satan
that's distancing you away from Hashem
you have to work on it you have to start
fixing it
now without love of hem we have nothing
we have nothing without aspiring to love
hem we have nothing now when we have
something getting in the
way whether it be money or other
material we're literally losing the
match before we started it what is it
like the um the
midash on Song of
Songs mid Song of Songs tells of a that
happened
with this couple that was married for 10
years nice couple religious
go
wrote in was able to revive the
dead holy of holies they go
to 10 years we're
together no kids no kids so we need to R
to authorize for us to a get get
divorced what can I
do Shimon says okay I just there's one
condition it's one condition I need you
to have just like you had a wedding
party when you got married 10 years ago
you're to marry you're to whole this
that the other I want you to have a
divorce
party no less than the marriage party
you had in the
wedding says we do no problem
they start sending invitations to
everyone invitations alone's a couple
thousand dollar the hall is 10,000 the
fu is another 20,000 next thing you know
$50,000 a divorce party imagine the
busha here you have a divorce party but
you have to be
happy why just told you have a divorce
party okay divorce party says we do what
can we
do they everyone's this everyone's
celebrating whatever whatever but you
should know is once there's a decision
that you're going to be divorced you're
no longer allowed to be with each other
no longer allowed to be in a room
alone so at the end of the
party the husband goes to now his
ex-wife because tomorrow they have to
officiate it with the r Final Notice
with the r that's it finished but as of
now it's still not finished yet he says
to his wife
listen we had 10 good years thank you
very much but uh listen this is very
hard I'm gonna sit here I'm gonna have a
couple of drinks you go to the house go
to the house and take anything you want
take everything you want take what's the
most valuable thing to you take
it I'm going to be here I'm going to
have a couple
drinks it's good enough every woman in
the world that wants to get a divorce
right now says who's his husband I want
to marry him
so now this husband has a couple of
drinks he falls asleep the next morning
he wakes up and he
sees who's next to him in the bed his
wife Shalom now it's a sin what' you
do he says what do you mean what the
wife says them what do you mean what I
do I did what you said what do you mean
you said get the most valuable thing in
the house what do you think is the most
valuable thing in the house for me it's
you you're the most valuable thing in
the house what you think the house the
chandeliers the money the cars you think
that's valuable you're the most valuable
yeah but it's asso it's not allowed to
do it when we're divorced that's your
problem you said take the most valuable
I took the most valuable you want to go
go deal with go go do go okay we have to
go see the they go see
the for the I'm sorry you know it's
really big bua we spent 50,000 on the on
divorce party like you said everything
was good everything was great but we're
here now he says you don't have to get
divorced this year you're going to have
a
son now the question
is Angels came down and spoke to him
spoke it's not an imagination Angels
Came Down taught
T told them Tor when they said someone
needs to go speak to the evil Romans to
get them to stop the bad decrees on or
we need someone that's a someone that's
responsible for miracles who do we
sendim why he's used to Miracles he goes
to to on the way to Rome and the head of
all the shedim of all the demons comes
over there goes I'm here to help you
he cries why ises he cry goes oh look
even the sh the the maid servant of
abrah ainu had angels we have only
sheding he was upset it's only a shed he
was upset so just imagine this is the
level that he's at and he tells them
okay now you don't have to get married
now now you can get now you don't have
to get divorced you're gonna have a son
this
year the question is if you're able to
revive the Dead if you see Miracles if
you're doing all these things why you
just tell them that yesterday before
they spend a
50,000 why you just tell them listen
I'll pray for you this she going to have
a son it's still done to this day people
do it pray for people that have
children it happens I've seen with my
own
eyes someone listened to some advice
that we told them what to do nine months
later five years they're waiting nothing
nine months later they had a son a
daughter it happens so Rish Shimon it's
easy
business
why rabish Shimon knew something that
would not realizing abish shim knew the
reason why there's no son the reason why
there's no daughter the reason why
there's no children it's not because of
the righteousness of the people it's not
because of the of the people that's not
lacking he told him to go have $50,000
divorce party they did it for what to
fulfill a mitzvah
they could have easily gone to a
different Rabbi get a get finished the
rabbi said this we do it they're now
dealing with the bu with the
embarrassment of telling everybody by
the way we're not getting divorced how
embarrassing that is everyone came to
the party now they did it's embarrassing
they have no problem he says that's not
the problem what's the problem after 10
years after 10 years they got so used to
each other they forgot to love each
other and without love there
nothing without love there's nothing
nothing is going to hold you together
you could respect each other okay so
you'll be
roommates you could like each other so
you'll be
friends you could use each other as
husband and wife mother and father okay
so she'll be a baby Factory and you'll
be a money
Factory it's not that different from
prostitute and and and and the person
that buys it no
different nothing different Without Love
there's
nothing even more so with the
relationship
with even more so with the relationship
with because if you are so busy chasing
everything in the world that he gives
you and you forget to love him you have
nothing you have absolutely nothing but
the only way you can get to loving him
is first learn to fear Him get to the
highest level of fearing and where you
actually care about the relationship
care about the connection then we can
start talking about how do I express my
love to
hasem now the tah gave you
shortcuts they're long cuts they're not
easy but they're shortcuts at the same
time they gave
you they
said hear hear us we're here to tell you
I love you hem hear us
we you said it's special yeah we're here
we're here tell you I love you how you
going to tell me I love you you said
tell you I love you how with all my life
okay you learned a
lot I'm putting what my life on the line
no problem if someone comes tells me go
worship Yos I'm dying on the spot no
problem
hasem but last but not least when it
comes to money it means nothing to me if
it comes between me and
you means nothing to me
that's
love that's love of Hashem if you're
still second guessing what to do what
not to do whether to buy a new couch or
to save another
Jew whether to buy to have a extension
on the house or new furniture or new car
or new lease or new this or new that or
new phone or new this or pay for the
kids to go to
Yesa if your contemplation is do I get
betterine or better more modest clothes
or more Holiness in my life or some toy
that's going to go bad in a few months
anyway if that's still a question we're
far we have a lot of work to do we have
a lot of work to do unfortunately a lot
of people know how to give money a lot
of people know how to give money they
think that's the
shortcut but when
says says with all of your money it
means that the money that you give has
to hurt a little
bit it has to hurt a little bit if it's
easy for you to give doesn't matter how
much it is if it's easy for you to give
$10 or $20 or $30 it's not enough if
it's easy for you to give $100 or $200
or $300 it's not enough if it's easy for
you to give a million dollars check no
problem cash on the
spot it's not enough
it's not enough why it's supposed to be
everything it's supposed to be not to
the point where you become poor meaning
it has to be as if you've given a part
of your
life as if you just put here AEM is a
part of my life on the spot here you
thank youhm thank you for giving me the
opportunity to use a part of my life to
serve you that's whyem says give M or
give 20 or whatever it is it's at least
10% because
that puts everything in perspective
where in reality you're admitting
to in reality I should be 90 to you 10
to me but you're doing me a favor where
it's only 10 to you 90 to
me today people give but they don't do
everything else we talked about just
giving money by itself is
meaningless number one it's never going
to be enough number two it's never going
to replace the mitv it's never going to
replace the and that's some of the
things that people need to understand is
that when it comes to when it comes
to when it comes to loving hem when it
comes to when it comes to serving hem
there are no
limits now we can't be one of these
fools that Waits too long you know
sometimes they tell you these stories
and they really put things in
perspective the
were very furious with
ra Shalom because ra sh went to war with
the with the withad in general
especially with
theab was a very famous
War so theim or they call themselves
ofad one time sent a
rope a rope to R Shak
and he told him if you don't start
quieting down we're going to hang you
with this rope they threatened him with
the Rope tell him a letter we're going
to hang
you so ra told his uh helper he says
please make sure put this in my will I
want to be buried with this
rope I want to be buried with this rope
you had a lot of hate mail a lot of male
that people hated him and you know the
kadik and so on that didn't like him so
write them hate mail I want to be buried
with all of this male he had sack one of
his students found a sack full of
letters complaints hate I want to be
buried with this male but now add this
rope okay the male he explained it to us
already he says listen I want this all
my I fine I stood for the truth
regardless of the fact that it wasn't
popular but why the Rope why the Rope
why the Rope he says this is going to be
my witness in sham
it's going to be my witness in sham that
I love
theem with all of my heart and with all
of my life because even when my life was
on the line it didn't stop me from
saying the truth that needed to be
heard that's when you love Hashem you
understand that's when you love Hashem
nothing comes in the middle not money
not people not liking you not people
offended not people this not people
nothing nothing comes in between when
you are at a point where you're obsessed
with God you're obsessed with serving
him you can't think of anything other
than serving him you can't there's
nothing that you're spending any energy
on other than what can I do for
God that's when you've started loving
him so for all of those people that like
to listen to the wonderful lectures that
talk about loving hasem and Hashem
loving us and all of that stuff this is
the
Torah if you feel this way
if you don't stop lying to yourself stop
lying to yourself and pretending you
love God all you love is yourself you're
only doing the mitv you're only wearing
certain clothes you're only giving
certain money you're only doing certain
things for you not for God God doesn't
need
them so the relationship if you want it
to be a real relationship whether it's
husband or wife mother and son father
and daughter colleagues work
business Creator and creation if you
want the relationship to have a good
foundation it has to be built on honesty
stop lying and pretending you're doing
it for God stop enough it's okay that
it's not 100% it's okay we're
not it's okay we're not Steiner it's
okay it's not okay to lie about it
though it's not okay to lie about what
we're supposed to do is Aspire try work
towards it and the Torah gave us a quick
way to do
it every day you read it what does it
mean to you what does it mean to you
today what does it mean you loved the
with all your heart today today you read
it says you remember several months ago
we went over it be very careful when you
reach
why you say be careful with read that be
careful why it says Be Careful What does
it mean to you today after that you love
them with all your heart what does it
mean with all your heart today not
yesterday yesterday is finished you
can't do anything about yesterday
tomorrow we don't care about who knows
if we're going to see tomorrow today
today what did you do for your
relationship with hem to be represented
with all of your heart what' you do
today did you do anything for today
anything or is this the first time you
decide to even think about God at 10:00
night 10:00 at night finally oh God hey
hey God I'm here I'm sorry I was busy I
was busy God I was busy you okay I'm
here though now I'm here though now you
you remembered God at 10 o'clock at
night you have a problem it's
not what does it
mean what does it mean your whole life
did you think about God to such an
extent that you were much willing to
give your life up today not yesterday
yesterday you were sadik today today I'm
talking about today yesterday you were
sadik today I'm giving everyone
yesterday before your whole life what
about today everyone loves to talk about
yesterday all the it's what they used to
do all the they used to give all the
rabbis they know all the books they
read my my father is a rabbi my
grandfather wrote a book and my uh did
my grandfather also wrote a book my
grandfather also is a rabbi his name is
abuu my grandfather also it doesn't help
me
today today today would you do today was
today was all your
life you do all your life today what
about what about all your money somebody
somebody had there's somebody in the
world that needs money you have it or
you're still collecting it like it's a
stamp
collection somebody came told my wife a
story says someone needed
a few thousand and I had
3,000 and he need two I didn't think
twice about it I
gave why did you give why' you get it's
a lot of money you give 66% of what you
have he goes what am I doing collecting
money what if I don't need it right now
I don't need it somebody else needs gave
it to me for somebody
else that's the mentality you have to
have do you need it
now I'm not saying every one needs to go
to zero account but everyone has their
tun everyone has their test everyone has
to have the right mentality that's what
I'm trying to say I'm not saying
everyone should just write a check to
some uh Anonymous uh place I'm talking
about it's just having a the right
mindset are you doing as much for AEM as
you're doing for
yourself if you're spending $3,000 on
navigation systems and $50,000 on cars
and $5,000 on V vacations and all of
this exorbitant amount of money on
different things you spent five6 $700 a
month on just going out to dinner but
youra for the month is 50
bucks you never have any money you never
have any money to give Saka you don't
love God you love
yourself it's fine but at least be
honest about it at least be honest
because when the the second part of
comes up
when stops the sky and doesn't rain
anymore and the bank account is empty
and all that when that happens at least
you're not
surprised at least you're not
surprised oh what the bank account's
empty god what happened I had so much
money now I don't have any money yeah I
gave it you used it for going out to
lunch used it for Bitcoins used it for
uh for cars and houses you bunch of
needed the money you didn't you didn't
give it to them A bunch of people needed
to do
I give you the opportunity didn't do it
what am I giving you money
for so that's the thing if you're
spending $46 million in stupid paintings
that's what you're going to go up to
Sham with they're going to tell you
listen you had $46 million extra you had
$46 million
extra that $46 million could have saved
a million
Jews a million Jews would have been able
to do chuva with $46 million one million
Jews would have been able to do chuva
with $46 million you know what let's cut
it down a 100,000 Jews 100,000 not 10%
not a million 100,000 Jews were able to
do Chua which are $46
million 100,000 people would have had
eternity and would have given you
eternity with your $46 million each one
of them forget 100,000 one
guy one guy would have been able to do
chuva with your $46 million one guy one
you would have given $46 million the
whole $46 million one guy only would
have done chuva Hashem says I would have
paid you
310 different worlds for the one guy to
do
chuva what' you do you replace 310
worlds with a painting that
that that is not even good enough for a
2-year-old to
review this is what you have you have
this this is what you
have instead of having 310 worlds for
just one guy doing chuva for just one
guy reading CH for just one guy on every
day for just one woman to put a scarf on
her head to be a kosher wife to be
modest one you have
this you go up to sh and say I have this
look I have a Salk wble
painting oh good we're going to put that
in Gom with you do you understand do you
understand it's it's funny but it's not
funny because we do it every day we
don't have $46 million for for for
stupid paintings we have a printer that
can print it though what do we have we
have phones we have computers we have uh
bunch of stuff we don't need we always
have the stuff we don't need but the
stuff we need we always don't have money
for you tell people listen why don't you
commit do uh I know donate 150 bucks a
month 250 bucks a month you make it's
300 bucks a month whatever it is commit
to something no no no I'll get to it
I'll get I can't commit to something now
but every month I'll think about it what
do I think about it's one two three four
times they give and then they finish why
because they still have to pay for the
more expensive car and a more expensive
belt and a more expensive lunch and a
more expensive dinner and a more
expensive house and a more expensive
neighbor and the more expensive date and
the more expensive this and more
everything else they have money for
except for hasem do you understand so
loving Hashem Hashem gave you a few
tools a few tools that are going to be
your measuring
tape of where you're
at if you connected to material to such
an
extent it's better to just focus on
your we get we'll get there but these sh
like this give us a at least an idea at
least an idea of where we stand with
certain things before it's too late
we'll finish it off with a funny story
so you guys get a little bit of a laugh
there was one time a
um guys weren't
exactly but uh they said
listen we play soccer every
weekend and
uh one of us is going to die one day so
whoever dies first come back
and uh tell us that uh what's up there
if it's true we need do CH to keep need
to this need to that no problem that's
the deal with the soccer team okay one
of the guys
dies and he comes back to a couple of
months later he comes back to one of the
other people one of the people on the
team hey how is it up there how the
feels how the soccer feels huge how good
players amazing wow that's the good news
oh what's the bad news you're playing
goalie
tomorrow we don't want to be the goalie
tomorrow you understand don't wait too
long don't wait too long to wake up you
got to start with you got to start
learning some M start learning some
things to fix our midot to get to a
point where stories like someone that
never ate a cookie in his life is not so
far from us as if it's mosu because it
literally happened just a few years ago
if we're so connected to to to the
material where a story like that is so
far from us where we don't even think
it's real that means we have a lot of
work to
do will have mercy on us and soften our
hearts that are made of stone to help us
do chv get to a high level
of also love him with all of our hearts
with all of our lives with all of our
time with all of our everything and we
can fulfill this Mitzvah like it's
supposed to be any
questions
yes they
explain spoke like that out of love
for from what
saying aage human
being
it let's say youve understand God to the
extent that God can K
so translate into love for or just the
fact that he knows why don't they say
they say love what's the difference
well are two different things from from
from Love
And there's different aspects of
connecting to hasem when you have your
fear of the Creator that's honor for the
the Creator when you have love of hem in
essence you're obsessed with serving him
when you
havea means that you have faith that
he's watching you have faith that he is
overseeing everything that you're doing
in your life he's there for you and
ultimately you have faith that
everything is under control when you
have you have that means you have
confidence that whatever is doing is
going to end up being okay specifically
for you specifically for you so the
different aspects of your relationship
with with God it's not the same thing so
when job was saying that even if God
were to destroy me I'd still serve him
is because he knew that ultimately the
only reason he exists is to serve hem he
understood the purpose of his being a
creation he knew that he's here to serve
AEM regardless of whether he's enjoying
it or not regardless of whether he like
Li it or not regardless of whether he
understands it or not regardless he's
still going to be the one that serves
he's still going to fulfill his will so
there is a uh that says that
uh the the three mortars in the Book of
Daniel uh the told people to worship an
idol and uh they could have run away
they could have run away away but
instead they said no we're not going to
worship an idol so I'm going to burn you
jumped into the fire and hasem saved
them saved them the I'm shortcutting the
story but the gar says where did they
learn this where they learn this this
this thing to go jump into a fire where
they learn this from says they learned
it from the
frogs now you would think
immu no they learn from is a different
world they're learning from the frogs
why the frogs why
not why because still had still had a
brain he was acting based on I'm going
I'm going to God I'm doing whatever is
serving hem says we're not at that level
we're not at that level to think this
that the other thing we're like a frog
frog has Instinct we here to serve hem
we're going to serve hem so what's a
frog have to do with fire
it says in the plagues the 10 plagues
that happened in Egypt at the end of
every plague lasted a
week lasted a week then there was a
couple a few weeks of break usually
three weeks of break and then the next
plague came and the whole all the
plagues lasted about a year now when the
plague of frogs
came came to mosu and he said Moshe no
go pray to your God tell him to stop
this Moshe prayed and the plague stopped
the problem is didn't just disappear
so now you have frogs you have zillions
and zillions of frogs everywhere what
are you going to do with
them so mosu praise to
hem get this frogs out of here Hashem
sends a angel it
says frogs hasem says get out of here go
into
G
so all the frogs they start running out
they go to the water they're going to
the ocean they going to different places
but some of them decided no we're going
to go into the fire instead we're going
to kill ourselves why kill ourselves
it's shorter
time we're going to serve AEM
better by saving the time saving the
time the five seconds the five minutes
the two minutes that it gets to get to
the pond it gets to get to the N River
to get to that extra few minutes I'm not
serving hem he told me to get out of
here I'm not serving AEM I'm going to go
into a fire instead why there's no dot
there's no brain here there's nothing
what do it mean I need to serve
AEM need to serve hasem what is it for
even if he were to destroy me I still
serve him you understand that's when
someone loves
God so obsessed with serving him there's
no oh but you know what I'm going to
live an extra five minutes as a matter
of fact I'm going to live much longer
than five minutes I'm going to get to
the pot I'm going to swim for another
five six years
I don't have to die God didn't tell me
to die he told me to get out of
here yeah but getting out of here is
going to take an extra five minutes
going take an extra 10 minutes better
die a frog is where they learned it from
you understand
so these these types of mid these types
of these types of teachings from the
sages just they're not to impress upon
us things that to make us feel like
we're so far from them it's actually to
remind us that we can all do
it it's not to say oh mosenu is this and
we're never going to be that no you can
be mosenu your own version of
it he reached his full potential you can
reach your full
potential everyone can reach their full
potential how do you get to your full
potential eliminate your own desires and
only replace them with his replace him
with his will if you do his will as if
it was your
will says he will make your will into
his
will so that's the the biggest
difference when when you love AEM that
means you're in a straight path only
doing his will there's nothing else
there's no time for anything else you're
so
obsessed with him
with that it does not leave any room for
anything else the uh I forget the name
but one of
theot that um one of the in a pre maybe
60 years ago 50 years
ago both her
husband and her son her only son died in
her
lifetime they say the worst thing for
some for a parent to have is to have a
child dying their own life not only is
her HB hband die in her own life which
is already a difficulty of its own but a
son her only son
died what did she say
this that loved what did she say during
the during the morning you know we had a
big in flat bush people are crying
people it's
horrible what's the difference what's
the difference what is that someone that
loves hasem say what does she say she
sayem initially I had to split my love
between my husband my son and you then
you took away my husband so it's between
you and my son now you took away my son
so all of my love is to you hasm I love
you that's what she said Al that's what
she said she's bearing a son sh to I
love you hm with all my heart now it's
all for you that's the difference it
doesn't make sense to us because we're
far away from it but we can get there we
can get there it's just that we have to
stop lying to ourselves and pretend that
we're already there cuz if you pretend
that you're already there you're never
going to try to get
there you understand if you're
pretending like you're already a lover
of hem you're not even going to Aspire
to be a lover of hem you're not even
going to Aspire to have you're not going
to Aspire to do anything because you
already think you're okay I had a guy
God bless him hopefully does
Chua a uh I have all these wonderful
stories people send me mails it's nice
different ways for hasm to help me do
Chua to people and um anyway this guy I
sent we started sending out newsletters
started sending out newsletters we sent
a few of them to email list and uh
couple of them were articles short
articles that wrote about kanuka in
Hebrew so he sent them out so he
responds to me this guy responds to me
he says oh I'm glad that you added rabbi
K to your team I'm glad that you added
him to your apparently you don't know
the story then okay fine no problem
doesn't have to know the story well it's
not uh it's not the breaking news fine
no problem I'm glad you open this this
is not the reason why I'm telling you
the story I'm glad you you you added
rabim to your team so at least now we
have somebody to teach us real depth of
Torah the real depth of Torah and not
the stuff that's really for just the new
people by
and you know the basics because for
people like me says talks about himself
for people like me that are that are
really serious Torah
Learners it's uh you know it's not for
us it's not for us and so I'm glad you
added RAB FR to your team to teach us
the depths of Tor because I have to say
I'm a m I'm a really dedicated and for
me to hear some of these Ms that it's a
rebuke I know it's good for some people
but for me somebody like me it's not
it's not good the reality so so now oh
and then he finishes off the the letter
and he says I apologize for the Mis for
for the disagreement or the argument we
had some time ago or whatever it was
apologize for that it's just you know
but I'm glad you added him to the team
now I was going to respond shalom shalom
like Shalom I don't remember the
argument that you're talking about I
don't remember any argument I don't
remember who he is
I don't remember a thousand emails I get
every other day I mean it's not like uh
I don't remember but I knew that if I
sent this guy that has an ego bigger
than this house that thinks he doesn't
need M if I would have told him listen
by the way shalom shalom peace
hello I don't remember the argument what
would have happened what what do you
mean you don't remember the argument how
do you not remember the argument with me
how dare you not remember the argument
he remembers the argument I don't
remember the argument see that's why you
teach and you don't teach the the the
depths of Tor The Depths the secrets of
Tor the that come out of people's mouth
is M seriously like you don't understand
what's the it's really ridiculous but
that's the thing it's like people fool
themselves they fool themselves to think
that there's something completely
different than
reality they put themselves they make
themselves their own Idol
they put themselves in some pedestal
because they read a few books or they
have a few dollars or they have a few
things and it's m it it's
poison it's poison it's poison because
it gets to a point where the person is
convinced with no doubt in his mind
there's nothing for him to change about
himself there's nothing for her to
change about oursel you know what kind
ofik I am you know what kind of I have
you know what kind of Shabbat dinners I
give you know this you know that people
like brag about
their so m is supposed to remind you
that you have nothing to brag about you
have a long way to go long way to go all
of us do all of us do
next what
is's opinion on someone who
dreams about events that are about to
take place especially when people that
this person knows or either about to go
through something horrible in
life
something did it happen or is this
things that it looks like it's going to
happen hisory history that it did
happen
the has a whole section maybe about
almost
10im about dreams to cut it short I
think we talked about it in the past for
the most part dreams are all nonsense as
a outcome of things we see during our
life especially during the immediate
time frame that someone uh is uh saw
things if they went to a zoo they'll see
some animals in their dreams if they uh
saw in appropriate things they'll see
inappropriate things in their dreams and
so on and so forth so most dreams are
complete nonsense now
once in a while once in a while there's
a dream that has some validity to it um
gives different things have different
signs if there's a snake if there's a
verse in the Tora if there's a falling
teeth if there's different different
signs that you see in dreams have
certain
significance um and in essence it could
even get to a point where a dream is
160th of a prophecy 160th of a prophecy
now this doesn't mean that every dream
is even remotely close to being a
prophecy it just means it's a
possibility so as far as translation of
Dreams the gar says that the translator
of the
dream needs to be someone that cares
about you should be a but in general
should be someone that cares about you
and the reason why is because if someone
cares about you automatic and they're
also tell me that means they would know
this they would know that they need to
translate all dreams in a positive
way because the translator has an effect
on the actual outcome of the dream if
it's a real dream the translator could
potentially influence the meaning of the
dream which means if the translator says
oh you had XYZ happen oh that means
you're going to lose money that could
potentially lead to the person losing
money not the dream itself but to
someone that translated the dream that
way
um so it's meaning that the translator
has a significance impact that's why you
need to go to someone that loves you
because someone that loves you is always
going to look at things in a positive
fashion one time somebody came to re
said I had a dream where they're cutting
up my whole body in little pieces
they're cutting up my arms they're
cutting up my legs they're cutting my
head they're making me into little hot
dogs horrible horrible dream you
couldn't even imagine such a horrible
dream and I felt the whole thing and
this and that what kind of Dream It's
like a night
terror
oh this means you're going to make money
this means you're going to have kids
this means you g to get a house gave him
all these wonderful things and all of it
happened why positive way of translate
in dream he could have easily told hey
by the way next you're GNA next week
you're going to die and he would have
died so that's another thing so you need
to go to someone knows knows knows what
he's talking about and also cares about
you last but not least sometimes a
person gets is you know that certain
times certain people are more spiritual
specifically women more times than not
it's women not always but more times
they not it's
women and they see things or dream of
things that are of the
supernatural
um many times this has to do with tum
more than it does K this has to do with
impurity more than Purity especially if
they see things in the living world like
here like for example many people tell
me that they see I don't know all types
of shind dalits and you know different
types of spirits and you know things
like that and it's literally every
single time without a fail it's because
they have some type of connection to
idol worship in their house or in their
life and they forgot about it they
forgot about it they don't know that
they do they think they finished it I
can tell you from my own personal
experience I've seen it and and it's
it's it's literally uh you're convinced
you've taken care of everything and then
one day you move and you go through your
stuff it's oh look at that a little uh
statue a little New Testament a little
uh whatever it is coin or something
connected to some type of idolatry
that's the
problem that's the problem nine out of
you know it's m literally almost 100% of
the time I told you guys a story of
somebody that came to sh and was because
of that so um as far as dreams and some
things happen uh to people I like pretty
much answer directly to your question
where someone
dreams and it's almost like a prophecy
of something negative happening to a
certain person in their life uh what
should they do I
mean listen it's it all depends on
whether you think the person's going to
listen or
not if you think the person's going to
be
receptive you should try to influence
him to stay away from that particular
activity without necessarily telling him
it's a dream just try to get them out of
it just try to get them out of it out of
in a different way and uh the reason for
that is because you don't want like if
they don't listen you don't want to be
viewed as you know someone crazy you
don't want to turn into where you've
turned uh Judaism into some type of
voodoo uh some type so it's better you
try to get them away from whatever
they're supposed to happen in a
different way try to get them to do
chuva and so on and so forth um very
rarely does telling people of the of the
supernatural actually help very rarely
um it's either because they don't take
you
seriously uh because it affects them
like why would you have a dream about
me why wouldn't I have a dream about
myself like who are you like what what
makes you so what what's what do you
like what is this it's it's not normal
for people to think like that it's not
normal for people to think like why
would you have a dream about me why is
God telling you or someone telling you
about me what do you have to do with
me you know so people just can't accept
it that way or if they
do they're going to become pests in your
life and they're never going to leave
you alone and every day they ask dream
about me again dream about me again
dream about me again dream about me
again so what does it mean I had a dream
I had a Dre about this what does it mean
all of a sudden you become some fortune
teller you become some fortune teller
you became uh this fortune teller from
the 1990s that used to uh huh yeah like
one of these noas yeah you came from uh
you all of a sudden you you're you're so
you don't want that you don't want that
headache in your life try to get them to
do chuva in a different way try to get
them to stop from whatever they're doing
in a different way it's much better um I
mean listen there's a lot of things that
that are just better not to not to say
them there's certain things for
example that
um you're going to see in your life that
are just not
normal you get the point you know if you
if you get what I mean there's certain
things in your life that you're going to
see that are not normal okay normal is
just a bunch of people sitting learning
eating drinking whatever we're doing
right now that's normal stuff coming out
of the sky voices uh uh whatever things
that like you only hear in movies that's
not normal that's what I mean um so
there's certain things in your life that
are just not normal if you say it to
people again they're either going to
think you're
crazy and you know being crazy being
labeled crazy is not a good thing or
they're just going to turn you into some
type of idol which is a problem of its
own you know so very little benefit
comes out of it very little benefit
unless you're a crook then you could
pretty much take advantage of
people
next porch and cookies yeah next
anything
finished yeah I had a question came to
mind was like a little
top you told about the frogs like
instinctively wanting to go into the
fire to to do the will of Hashem quick K
so I remember reading about Babas how
all the animals on Shabbat whenever they
would come in on his property like in
his backyard and stuff it could be cats
dogs they would stand up on their hind
legs whenever they walked through his
property of Shabbat you know no
seriously well actually this is what
people say this is like so how why how
would they instinctively know this I
mean unless unless they're a
reincarnation themselves but if it isn't
it's a regular dog and he has his neish
shabat passing through Baba's backyard
property I got I got to walk on my
highway one day we're going to have a sh
about
reincarnation one day we're going to
have a sh about reincarnation
reincarnation is not an easy
subject uh a lot of people like to talk
about it because it's very mystical it's
very cool sounding people talk about
like they know what they're talking
about uh the reality is is that it's you
know they make it sound like it's a good
thing they make it sound like it's fun
um they they they talk about it in you
know these different cabala classes and
cabalistic and mystical things in
reality anyone that knows anything about
reincarnation it's not exactly a gift
it's a punish it's a form of punishment
and reincarnation is not necessarily all
fun and games reincarnation is not
necessarily always in humans so you get
when you're reincarnated that already
means that you're a sinner
that already means that you didn't do
something you didn't finish some type of
tun that you had could very well be that
you're a sadik but you didn't complete
your tun in many cases you're r that is
given another chance because you did
something good in your life that's
number one two you're only given you
know a few times before you if you don't
fix it you go down a level so the soul
could go from a human to an
animal if the animal is not fin finished
you go to a plant if the plant is not
finished you go to a uh
rock you know so it's it's these types
of
things are you know people think you're
crazy when you talk like that because
most people talk about kabala and talk
about uh reincarnation don't talk about
that part of it they talk about you know
cool things you know how yeah yeah
remember your old life you used to be a
king and you were a nice guy and now
it's just because you such a sadik you
only have to fix one more thing yeah
that's not the reality the reality is
you probably like me in some way or
another you messed up you have to come
back you have to fix something fine but
you're not a
rock the uh the Ben the Ben I believe it
was Ben
um I believe it was Ben one time was
arrested sent to jail and
his
asked why would AEM do such thing
send giant of giants KES to a jail to
run jail to for so long could have done
so many other things and so on and so
forth like why make you suffer he says
well I asked the same question and then
the first night that I was in a jail in
a prison I had a dream and they told me
that the walls of my prison cell have a
bunch
of have a bunch of souls in them that
the only only way that they can fix
themselves is if somebody like me
studies Tor in the cell why they didn't
come
to they didn't learn T when they had an
opportunity hasem said okay I'm going to
put you in a wall you're going to be
forced to learn tah but it's not going
to be so easy why the wall is going to
be a prison wall it's not going to be
Yeshiva so you know these these types of
conversations are not exactly for
everyone uh some people think you're
crazy some people think but this is what
says what are you going to do um so as
far as animals are
concerned sometimes not all the time
sometimes an animal has a human soul
sometimes an animal has a human soul and
the animal the the animal is an animal
but the soul is a human soul it's two in
the same thing it's not one which means
that the soul is suffering being inside
the animal it's not enjoying itself it's
not enjoying being a dog and peeing on
everything it's not doing that it's
still a human being so it's suffering in
there but it also knows that it needs to
do a tun so there one time somebody had
a uh um was selling
horses selling horses and the bmov
needed to buy a
horse and he came to the uh guys he was
one of his students he wanted to buy a
horse and he saw this one specific horse
I mean this horse was a worker something
unbelievable
he
says whatever you need just pick
whatever horse you had a bunch of
horses go ahead whatever you need
immediately the rabbi picked that
horse the guy starts hysterical crying
hysterical crying I honor you I respect
you I love you anything you want just
not that horse take the house take the
wife take the kids take the other take
all the other horse just don't take that
horse
why I want that horse no please such a
good worker this horse is such a good
worker he wakes me up to give him a job
all the other horse have to do prepare
them clean them suits and this one
doesn't stop working it's the best horse
I've ever had please please for take
something else goes no no I want that
horse back then they used to honor
rabbis not send them emails telling them
thank you that you have another
Rabbi so
he says you want the horse I'm going
give you the horse or you sell me the
horse sell you the horse sure s you the
horse you said I'm
doing he says let me ask you something
the
uh is there someone that you know that
um owes you any
money yeah they was my neighbor you know
down the street which you know 30 miles
away farms and and so on yeah my
neighbor over there whatever a few miles
away he owed me a little bit of money he
owed me a few hundred bucks but he died
he died a couple of months
ago never paid me back that's it other
than that no nobody owes me any
money and he says now he was a good
friend of yours no no we were good
friends honest guy just he died M died
died young didn't pay me back but that's
it other than that nobody owes me any
money he said no but do you forgive him
for not paying you the money go for you
kidding of course I forgive it's my
buddy I love my friend no of course I
forgive him he died he scanned his wife
I tried to help them and so on M SC he
died no no but
if the fact he didn't pay you you
forgive him though
100% of course I forgive him so say it
what me say it
say say I forgive him I forgive him I
forgive him for the money he owes you
didn't pay you back the guy says it the
horse dies on a spot
he goes what just happened he goes your
next door neighbor you had to come back
in a gou of a horse that works for you
to pay you back the money the 300 bucks
that he didn't pay you back you have to
come back as a
horse why you can't go inside G aen with
blood on your hands owe people money so
that's the thing people need to
understand the gim the
reincarnations are not all fun in games
it's not all fun in games that's why
it's also part of the reason why the
game
is not such an easy sh to give yes I'd
love to give it to you guys now right
this second it's just not necessarily a
very easy sh it's not an easy sh
um
the key is to know
now you need to do Chua I need to do
Chua all of you need to do cha everyone
that's watching everyone that's not
watching everyone needs to know stop
pretending that we're already at a uh
we're good
because there is a actually heard mrai
mention
it uh
recently um I think it was a clip or
something I saw somewhere in t there a
certain type of Sinner a certain type of
Sinner and uh the worst type of Sinner
that hm doesn't
forgive it's written
in also a few different places it's
mentioned there a certain type of Sinner
that hasm doesn't forgive him what's
that kind of Sinner someone says no it's
not me I'm okay I don't need to do cha
I'm fine I'm okay I want to take off my
w put a I don't need to put on early in
the morning I don't need to learn T I'm
okay I'm all right I'm a I'm I don't
need to learn I don't need to learn M
says that person doesn't forgive
them so these questions the this get
togethers these things will get to wake
