[Music] we uh another week here in aventur uh the uh sh will also be to a to a uh very special baby um EST also David and all of is so um we're still not back to our uh series um in regards to the next lecture which I told you guys is going to uh be about and um we're still not ready to do it um soon uh I still have to decide what and who and when uh to do it maybe next week but there is a uh very much much more to learn right now that I think is uh relevant for us today so will have mercy on us and give us good words to tell you to get every one of us to do now someone um send me a uh message these people send me messages all the time and uh they uh like to uh ask questions uh get advice bem and uh we try to do our best sometimes get blessings prayers and so on um we try to do our best to stick to the law to see what the Torah says and tell you what says so whether it's in the lectures or it's because you've sent me messages in all different types of avenues uh generally I try to do my best to stick to the law and uh not necessarily give you my opinion uh because my opinion is exactly what it is it's my opinion it's not as valuable or valuable at all whereas Tor on the other hand is T it's from God uh and I think that's one of the main things that many people fail miserably to understand um that when you're coming to the Shi today here you coming to any of the sh that we have when you watch any of the videos that we've made uh when you uh look at any of the clips any of the things we've written and you don't like it you don't like it because it goes against your own opinion goes against your own opinion you heard in a lecture that wigs are forbidden and you don't like it you heard on a lecture you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat even if it's to a bit and you don't like it you heard that even men have to be modest not just women and you don't like it women have to be modest but not modest like the modern Orthodox way that wear mini skirts and tank tops but like they have to cover their elbows and they have to cover their knees six in uh after they sit down and the clothes has to be loose and they have to cover their hair with a with a scarf or a hat and you don't like it you don't like it and you say to me your own Rabbi whatever you want to call me some people call me this some people call me that some people call me other names for some reason people have a tough time with my name they they'll call me everything else but my name it's also part of the of this world and uh you say I don't agree I don't agree with you I asked him what what did I say that you don't agree with and I tell me you said this and this in this lecture you said this and this on this article you said this and this on this clip I don't agree I said I didn't say it he goes what do you mean look at the clip I said no no I just repeated what Tora says I repeated what mosenu said I repeated what said I repeated what the greatest p in all of history said I repeat what God Said not me I'm just the messenger ra I don't like it it's your problem with them take it out on them I'm just saving you time it's all I'm doing I read the book you perhaps didn't I'm telling you what the book says if you want go read the book yourself that's why I try my best to give you page numbers and uh sources and so on if you don't like it go read the book you still don't like it talk to God tell him listen change the Torah I don't like it so in essence when you're saying that you don't agree you have to come with something now I get all these questions all the time and you know God bless them everybody's trying to their best everybody has a yet and someone came to me with a nice you know it's a relatively new student student very nice person and uh they say to me you know I don't agree with what you said about how a Jew can't be classified based on their DNA meaning that if a person was has parents that are not Jewish parents are not Jewish father is not Jewish mother's not Jewish but they went to some DNA test and some company that sells these DNA tests like they sell k and they charge him x amount of money and the company says you are 5% Jewish 10% Jewish 87% Jewish 12% Jewish whatever they decided level of Jewish you are and you say see I'm a Jew I don't have to convert I have to is next to me right I say I'm sorry there's no such thing Judaism is not based on DNA Judaism is based on there are only two ways to be Jews one your parents are Jews specifically your mother your mother is Jewish her mother is Jewish her mother is Jewish all the way up to M or all the way up to somebody that converted which is option b option b you have to go to a Orthodox conversion so she's so that's why I told her initially and she says no I sometime passed on she goes I think I'm going to disagree with you on this I think I'm going to disagree with you on this DNA and I said you're not disagreeing with me you're disagreeing with the Torah you're disagreeing with the Torah that's what Tor says and she comes back to me and she says show me show me where show me show me teach me this stuff I said wait a minute hold on a second you deci Ed that you disagree with what I said in the lecture but you don't know anything about it meaning you don't know why you think I'm wrong you don't have anything to back yourself up you don't have any books you don't have any you have any rabbis you don't have anything you just decided I'm disagreeing with you disagreeing with you I don't agree with you I said the Torah is not a game of opinions the Torah is not a game of preferences the Torah is a book of laws from God it doesn't matter what I think it doesn't matter what you think it doesn't matter what I like it doesn't matter what you like it matters what God says that's the Torah so if you're going to go to a doctor and you're going to the doctor is going to give you a diagnosis sir you have you have something you have a headache and you're gonna say to the doctor Mr doctor thank you very much I'll pay the $550 an hour bill but I disagree with your diagnosis I don't believe I have cancer I don't believe I have AIDS I don't believe I have whatever I don't believe I disagree with your diagnosis disagree so the doctor is going to say to you okay good luck in the cemetery what's he going to say to you doesn't make a difference for him why you pay the bill good luck to you what does he care he got paid but the reality is at the same time that he's celebrating with the money that you paid him to go on his next vacation he's also saying what a fool this person is what a fool why he's never gone to Med medical school he's never worked on a single patient he's never studied the subject of cancer Aids HIV he's never even studied biology he took a biology class in fifth grade because they forced him but he doesn't remember because the only thing he remember is some frog you had to dissect that's the only thing you remember he doesn't remember the the element table doesn't remember anything he doesn't know anything he never studied the subject he doesn't know medicine the only thing he knows about medicine is if he has a headache he has take one of these pills that says Advil or Tylenol on it CU that's what they sell in the store he doesn't know why it's Advil or why it's Tylenol he doesn't know what the 200 mg means he doesn't know anything he doesn't even know what milligrams are but he decided to disagree with my diagnosis that he has cancer even though I have the pictures here that I took the MRI the exray the this the that the 25 years experience all of that I disagree doc I disagree I don't have cancer the doctor is going to look at you as the biggest fool in history and he's going to give you a new diagnosis you're also crazy and we should send you to a mental institution but no one goes to the doctor and says I disagree with the diagnosis doctor says you have something you say thanks Doc can you help me but in the Torah World unfortunately we have a yet we have an evil inclination and natural inclination a natural character trait within us that automatically tells us to reject whatever is true we don't reject falsehood we reject truth regardless of who comes to you and they tell you listen I think you're lazy no I'm not lazy I'm not lazy wait a minute you woke up at 3:00 in the afternoon every day in the last month that's a sign of laziness no no no I think you're cheap no I'm not cheap what are you talking about I don't know you have $10,000 in a bank and the last time you gave a dollar car was in 1912 I think you're cheap no I'm not cheap what are you talking you don't know me you don't know me well I see your bank account I'm your accountant I see you gave a dollar in 1912 and it was the dollar that you found it's the only reason you gave it I think you're not modest no what are you talking about I'm the most modest person in the world what do you mean you're walking around naked you don't even have underwear on how you considered modest you don't know me you don't know me meaning it doesn't have to make sense and it doesn't make sense but we do it all of us myself you everyone that's the is going to tell you reject the truth why cuz the truth will set you free the truth is what's going to get you to geden for eternity but that also kills the yet the more truth you have in your life the less yet has a room to survive so now when someone tells you Hashem said this and Hashem said that unlike the doctor that you honor and respect because he has three letters after his name that you would even verify if it's really true you know you know many people have these phds and MDS and so on and some of them don't actually have the degree they just lied this is not a a conspiracy theory this is a known fact I know from the corporate world the corporate world you have you know we used to invest in big companies and sometimes these companies they have CEOs that have a lot of enemies they have CEOs they have Executives that have a lot of enemies so what do you have to worry about when you have enemies you have to worry about them catching you red-handed sometimes those enemies are inside your own company sometimes those enemies are your colleagues sometimes those enemies are your partners so sometimes they decide to expose the lie that you've been telling the whole world and they expose that your resume that you gave to the company 25 years ago where you had a degree from MIT and you had a degree from Harvard and you had a degree from Yale and so on and so forth you had a degree you have a this you have a that they tell everybody by the way I checked I called a school I checked this I checked that all on my own dime just to verify to you good folks that it's all a lie he doesn't have a degree from Yale he has a degree from 7-Eleven he doesn't have a degree from Harvard he has a degree from Starbucks he never went to school now in reality between you and me 25 years later does it matter no Why by now it doesn't matter the degree that he got 25 years ago is irrelevant by now he got the experience that you can't get from school anyway but to them it does why it exposes The Truth Exposed the truth he lied about this who knows if he lied about something else automatically they fire him his career is over he's destroyed and this is how lives are destroyed on a day-to-day basis in Corporate America and the rest of the world so back to our subject at hand if you go to your doctor and your doctor says you have this and this and this diagnosis you're not going to check if this doctor really has a medical degree from the school that he went to and he really got the grades that he says he got and all the plaques that he has on the wall are really valid you're not you're just going to assume it's true you're going to assume it's true and if he gives you a diagnosis he says you have this you have that you have this it doesn't make a difference what he says you're going to assume it's true true why he's a doctor he's a professional he's trying to help me and he's costing me $500 an hour so he must be true he must be good at what he does for $500 an hour the more expensive he is must be true so him you would believe but when someone comes to you and tells you listen God said this and you don't it's not my opinion and it has nothing to do with a degree it has nothing to do with whether I'm a rabbi or not a rabbi as a matter of fact if a donkey came to you like Bam's donkey had a donkey God opened the mouth of the donkey in the he open his mouth what did he say she gave she told theam she she rebuked them Hashem gave Theon hem gave donkey the power of speech so if a donkey came here donkey came over here and says how are you how's everyone and in says someone someone that desate Shabbat to Jew loses their life in this world gets loses years their life here has no share of the world to come and their Judaism is now on suspension in the eyes of hem according to all of the meim they are considered 100% an idol worshipper but it's not me saying it the donkey said it does it make a difference does it change the validity of the statement does it change whether it's truth or not no why he's reading a PUK he's reading a PUK from a Torah he's telling this is what Rashi says this is what rambam says this is what God says it's irrelevant that it's coming from the mouth of a donkey I'm not as bad as a donkey I'm a little higher than a donkey so if I say it same thing at the very least doesn't have a do blessings so but the problem is is that if you hear the truth from the Torah your natural inclination is going to be no no no it must be not true it must be no no no it can't be why look how could Shabbat be so stringent so demanding so overruling when over 80% of am does not keep it that means what you're saying is is that most of right now are classified as Idol worshippers how could it be true that's true that's what it says 12 times in the Torah seven times multiple times in a I haven't gotone all over it all of theim anyone that mentioned Shabbat in the previous generations has said it anywhere that's what it says so the fact that we're failing is irrelevant doesn't change the truth doesn't change the truth but yet we have a hard time accepting it we have a hard time accepting it because it defies our logic so when I tell the religious world that according to Allah you have 117 all the way back to 2,500 years ago Froman it says you're not allowed to wear a wig not allowed to wear a wig regardless of of of ab or not not allowed no no no it's must be wrong okay benel is wrong he's the one that was able to revive the dead but you're saying he's wrong why cuz I said it you're not saying he's wrong because he's here telling you you're saying he's wrong because he's not here you're saying it's I'm wrong as if I said it and we went over this subject on Sunday we're not going to repeat when you're saying that what we're saying in the shim is wrong you're not calling me out I care less who am I you're calling out the Torah you're calling out God so if you're going to call out God have something come with something in your hands say listen I believe we're allowed to wear wigs I believe we're allowed to drive on Shabbat I believe we're allowed to eat pig I believe we're allowed to do whatever whatever you believe in whatever concoction came up in your mind I believe we should do this this and this fine what do you have to stand on based on what do you have something that overrides R do you have something that overrides the VNA go you have something that overrides reel yashi you have something that overrides anyone anything other than your opinion oh no my local Rabbi said it my local who's your local Rabbi is it Rabbi no is it RAB Yash no is it v no is no is who who is it oh it's some guy that became a rabbi six years ago it's some guy that's been a rabbi in the community for 20 years okay who they write any books no no no he didn't writing books is he a p no no he's not a p what is he oh he's a nice guy the nice guy he's a really nice guy he's got a long beard nice hat and his wife wears a wig so it must be allowed this is what you're going to go up to sh with they're going to tell you you have on your head you're going to go up to sh you tell my rabbi did it is AI there AI that specifically says you're not allowed to learn from rabbis based on what they do meaning you're not allowed to learn from anyone based on what they do you have to learn from books what does the book say course he may have he may not have control over his wife who knows so to say I'm going to go learn based on it's my opinion you have a problem so I told this very very wonderful person I told her listen it's very nice to your opinion is to disagree but that's not how the Torah is is is that's Torah that's Christianity that's not the Torah the Torah was given to us by God we had the written Torah we had the oral Torah all of them were given in Mount the written Torah was given to us up to and then over the next 40 years we got the rest of the of the written T and then the oral Torah was given to us complete much more extensive than the one we have today there were many many more rules there was many many more things that we don't know how it today and reason why is because many of the giant sages that R AA had 24,000 of them died and we lost that Torah we still have a lot but nowhere near the extensiveness of what we had back then we wouldn't survive if we had all of it as a matter of fact if you look at the it talks about what kind of Torah did was before mount saai it says the Torah says they follow the Torah also how do we know hashm says I love AB why you love abah hasem why he's a nice guy he had a long beard why he had a nice hat why you love abah because He follows my toras toras meaning plural he already had a written T and he already had oral Torah so says what kind of Tora did he have he says he had his we have tra today has five chapters five chapters about 70 Pages 70 7 five chapters had anywhere there's a there's a debate whether he had 400 chapters or 4,000 chapters meaning his tractate of was bigger than our entire gar Al together that's how extensive that Torah was so the Torah we have is extensive it's extraordinary we know what we're doing we have rabbis that were given the power from Hashem to explain to us what he's trying to tell us he says keep Shabbat they explain to us how he says keep they explain to us how he says keep this they explain to us how there's only one mitvah in the entire T that's actually explained by the written Torah and that's the seven years every every seven years we have to stop and the details of it are actually told in the written T the rest of the 613 MIT that we have none of them are explained in the written Torah meaning the only way we can actually understand them is from the oral Torah so now when you say that I disagree with what you said then you say okay fine what I said is based on the what I said is based on what I said is based on the greatest Pim that ever lived the greatest rabbis that ever lived what's what you're saying what's your opinion based out of because you're going to have to go to shamim with it you're going to have to go to Sham is a of sh and they're going to judge you if you look at the book by Shalom who was one of the greatest MIM in the last century and a half very scary book very scary book because this is a is K this is a holy person a real meal that literally understood what's happening in sham how did he understand they spoke to him people that were overtaken by different demons or it's called deim they would need to get rid of it and he would go they would come to him and he would have to convince this other Soul that's overtaking the soul here so let's say it's a person regular Jewish person and all of a sudden he has a soul he has his own soul all of a sudden somebody else's Soul comes in and takes over the body is they made a movie about about this uh some zider k something a long long time ago to try to uh give people an impression of what it is in reality it's very different but nonetheless the point is this it's called a debuk so he learned not only from books not only from his teacher not only from his teacher teacher teacher teacher the where we get all of the mystical parts of our Torah we understand it only because of the so not only because of that you also learn it from experience he spoke to these spirits and they told them what happens in sham and it's very very scary and I explained them in one of the parts here it says that the sh in every place every country there's their own bed overseeing it and the bed is the size of a city but it's not one room it's one room another room another room another room and every room is half close to half the size of this room less quarter of the size of this room and there's three di in each one and then it has three floors so the first bed or sections of bed is on the bottom floor sections of bed is one room here three di one room here three di one room here three di one room here three and there's hundreds and hundreds of them and that's the first level is to judge you on the really really awful sins you've made someone went with a married woman someone went with a non-jew any type of sex crime together and so on and so forth they're going to judge you they judge you they show you you sign off on it and they punish you you go and get punished the punishment is delivered I'll spare you the details now maybe we'll save that for the sh about G but then after you've paid the punishment you have to come back where second floor that was just the first level of sin now I have to go to the second floor again we're going to go over again the sin that they already judged on to see if you really paid enough maybe you didn't pay enough maybe there's still a little bit is a sin that came out of the sin there a sin that came out of the sin so let's say you could say listen somebody drove on Shabbat it's terrible but that's not the only sin maybe maybe just maybe your little brother saw you your little brother saw you driving Shabbat and he says Ah you're allowed to drive on Shabbat your little brother BEC that's a sin from a sin second floor they have to pay the bill again punishment could be years could be centuries finished third floor we get to the third floor room after room after room after room you get the point it's not all games and this is not even this is before so when you say you don't agree agree we said you have to go to sh and maybe is GNA be one of the DI maybe ra is going to be one of the DI raash is going to be one of the D what do you think they do over there they hang out play uh pool table what do you think they do they learn Tor they they uh become Partners in the creation in essence to you say to them oh by the way I disagreed with you okay fine based on what I didn't like it and that's one of the things that people have a hard time understanding like wait a minute didn't doesn't say that hasem is merciful and he's loving yes he is merciful he is loving that's why you're still alive despite the sins that you've made but just like his mercy and his love is unlimited so is his wrath there's no limitations to how much he loves you but there's also no limitations to how much the punishment will be if you go against him this is what we fail to understand we fail to understand because we're constantly looking for a spiritual shortcut we don't like it I don't like Shabbat I don't like kosher I don't like modesty I don't like what he says I don't agree with him okay fine based on what what are you gonna go up to Sham with oh the Baba said something that brings me to my next Point people that are looking for the shortcuts unfortunately the Satan sends the messengers to give them the inclination the excuse to get the shortcut he sends them fake rabbis and sometimes those fake rabbis look more religious than any Rabbi in the world they have the whole garment they have the hats they have the beard they have they're older they have big books in front of them they have Messengers they have all types of things and they go to these people and they pay the money to get their opinions one uh couple went to a uh sh for FR recently and um she was in Al the somebody died the uh the woman the the wife's father died and and they asked to come give a sh during the seven days and he gave several everybody got stronger and this specific couple is the one that I said where in the previous sh the wife said listen I give money to breast live to kabad to this one to this one to this one to this one to this one but for some reason they make a lot of money some reason I don't have I don't have any in the money I give a ton of money ton of money tons every month we can't no problem but for whatever reason no matter what I do we're always behind we're always borrowing money from the banks we're always buning borrowing money from lone sharks we're always the business is always behind even though I GI brother didn't have to think for more than five seconds he says yes because you're probably working on Shabbat right how you know how do you know you could see this no no I just learned from the books I learned from the books he says you start keeping Shabbat you stop becoming modest you'll be fine she says listen you know Israelis they're very negotiators they go to the point he said listen I like everything you said the lecture unbelievable yesterday unbelievable everything is fantastic hasem you're smart you're this you're that everything's fantastic let's do business I give money to breast I give money to kabad I give money to this Rabbi I give money to that Rabbi I give money to this I give money to that I give money to all of them I'm going to give all of it to you every month your wife calls me she tells me your bank account information she gives me the bank account information you're set all of it goes to you just let go the Shabbat thing pray for me every month all I ask for you is one thing pray for me that gives me blessing but forget about the Shabbat thing that you said everything else good all the money is going to you just imagine how much money this is I mean you know you don't send $25 if you're talking about so much now before I tell you R's answer you should know ra is one of the part of and the he goes to K Works morning you know um learns day and night col you know day starts at 8 if they finish I think maybe around 6 7 o'clock at night helps out the raban for short period of time and then continues to study through the night we study together and also he studies on his own is schedule packed what's that schedule how much do how much does he get from the k for studying six days a week longer schedules than your 9 to five job that you get 50 or 60 or $100,000 a year how much does he get 500 bucks a month 500 bucks a meaning a little homeless guy in the middle of New York gets more money than than that's going to be the next do gets more fine no complaints no problems is Miracles every single month we all survive but's answer is more impressive than a salary's answer will explain to you the difference between whether you got your message from your opinion or from God if it's from your opinion you say you know what ma'am I'm gonna find an for you I'm gonna find a leniency for you you sound like aik maybe we'll get you to keep Shabbat eventually keep giving keep supporting the Torah now you're supporting this says to her I have plenty of money I don't need $1 from you I just need you to keep Shabbat not1 dollar I want I have plenty of money plenty I just need you to keep Shabbat because not a dollar of that you're ever going to give is going to save you in AED of when you tell me that's when someone doesn't know how he's going to eat this week forget this month when the five little babies don't know how they're going to eat when no one knows how they're going to survive because the the rent the rent for the house is five times the salary just the rent forget food electric water groceries forget it's the rent five times the salary don't live in a uh streets he says I have plenty of money I just need you to keep Shabbat that's when you understand that the instructions came from God there's no exceptions there's no lenes we're not looking for leniencies we're not looking for babut that's going to give you a shortcut and unfortunately today people are constantly looking for these you know you know supposed to be like they're you know they're uh well-known types of rabbis m means they just receive money sounds the same you see all these posters in different WhatsApp groups sadik no one's ever heard of the guy but sadik and there's a line at the door for people looking for shortcuts another woman comes to me and she says listen I need this I need this I need this I need this I need this do you know any meal that's going to help me do this I said well based on the knowledge that I have of who this person is this I said Mak is not going to be able to help you only one that's going to be able to help you is God because you're his enemy as of right now when you're violating Shabbat you're immodest in every way shape or form and you're not listening to anything that he says why do you think of meah is going to help you so you don't know anyone you don't know anyone assuming like this is is is is a disease it's a disease that we have infesting our people where somehow along the way we've turned Judaism into a where somehow people think that if they go to some Rabbi they're going to get a blessing and everything's going to be okay someone came to the stier go Shalom and said to him was one of thees knowes you should get it you should getes you know whates ises is somebody walks into the room or somebody's across the street or someone somewhere else you already know what's going on with them when someone will walk into his to his Yesa to his bet midash you didn't have to see him bet midash was five times the size of this somebody would just walk in if that person was a the Stifler go didn't have to see him didn't have to look at him didn't have to know he even came in he would know he's a Shabbat he start screaming Shabbat get out you're an enemy of hasem you wouldn't stand it you wouldn't be able to tolerate it so they said the the St of your son of kki but for for a giant of the generation to have a son that's also it's not normal that's above and beyond the norm how did you do it how did you do it he says many nights and many days I I spent crying my heart out to hem to make him so again sister went to the St to ask him for a blessing this is the she wanted a blessing from the for our children to be good in Torah she goes to him he says we're in this week brings his two children to Aba please bless them bless my children and there's the whole story of how Yu switches the hands and YF doesn't understand why obviously these blessings are a big deal we already have a source Tora we have a source from from his father from blessed yov and so on and so forth so these blessings is a big deal so again his sister goes to the goes to the stapler whose son is also so we're good she says please bless my children bless my children to be to be religious to be good and the STI answer to her I'm sorry no blessing is going to help what what do you mean what do you mean no blessing what do you mean it's not GNA help no blessing is going to help your children there's only two things are going to help them only two things are going to help your children one you praying for them every day as a parent cry for them pray for them pray for hm for mercy two what they see they see you make the Torah number one they'll make the Torah number one they see you become a religious once in a while they'll be religious once in a while if you take the Torah and you make it number one in the house it's number one in their life if you make exceptions if you look for leniencies if you're half a Jew and half a your kids are going to be full G we only deteriorate this is not for me RAB this is from someone where I wish maybe maybe one day after 120 I'll get to the level of a shoes he said it so the reality is shortcut is not available shortcut is not available but we still try we still try to look for shortcuts we still try to look for someone that's going to fix our problems without us doing anything to such an extent that we've turned Judaism into there was a mass text sent in the last few days and it infiltrated one of our many groups or several of our groups on WhatsApp and other places when someone said in the name of samal which I've never heard of but that doesn't mean anything and he said that this so and so mbal had a dream and his father or his grandfather came to him and he said that if you forward this text to everyone you know or to a certain amount of people they're going to be saved at the time of mashiah but if not you're going to lose a lot of money and then it said some other words but as soon as I heard you're going to lose a lot of money I deleted it and people took this to heart I got no less than a half a dozen texts from people asking me is this true is it real who is this meal can we really be saved from the msia with the msia just by simply forwarding a text that's it it's all I have to do I don't have to come to shim anymore Tuesday nights I can watch football Wednesdays I can watch baseball Shabbat I go to hockey game I can just throw it a text and that's it I'm that's it WhatsApp saved my life what's up save my life this is what it is when you actually think about the stupidity of whoever sent it and whoever believes it it makes you feel stupid for reading it because it's m it's just it's the furthest thing from the Torah you have a book of Torah gave you all the instructions you could possibly ever need to succeed in life to succeed in marriage to Succeed in Business to have a good happy life to to be complete to be better to be happy to be generous to do everything good that could ever exist you have a book of instructions how to do it that's why t means means instructions instructions for what everything everything and just like it's instructions to do good you comply with the Tor you live you don't you die what does it mean die while you're alive you consider it dead why you're have miserable life you're unhappy you're depressed your marriage is terrible your wife wants to poison you your kids want to kill you they can't wait for you to die so they can take your money you're this you're that your boss wants to fire you but he can't because you own 5% of the company and he's too stingy to your whole life is miserable why you didn't follow toah so the same instructions that's going to give you to live also give you to die but people are saying no we're going to put this as side the book of instructions we're going to put aside and we're going to listen to text message and the text message told me that if I forward the text to five people or 5,000 people or five million people that's it I don't have to do anything else finished M we're good WhatsApp saved us Facebook saved us so it took me a while to respond I usually try to respond I mean I'm busy but I try to respond to people as as fast as I can but when a few people sent me this message I didn't know how to respond and not sound rude because again how do you tell somebody listen this is stupidity without you in essence telling them you believing it kind of sounds stupid you should watch more of the sh maybe you'll stop being stupid you have a disease you're looking for a shortcut there's no shortcuts there's no shortcuts stop looking for shortcuts so if you're getting a mass text message it's going to tell you if you do this this and this you're going to be saved there's only one thing to do delete delete the end noal is sending you texts noal is telling everybody to do this not even to pray you want to pray pray but it has nothing to do with anything else there 620 mitv you have to comply with if they are relevant to you if you're a woman a certain section of mitv relevant to you if you're a man certain section of mitv relevant to you if you're a Coen certain section of mitv relevant to you whichever out of the 620 mitv are relevant to you you have to do now it's 613 from God Seven from the rabbis kanuka and so on so so now a text message an email or any of that stuff that's not going to get you anything all it's going to do is waste another half hour of your life thinking that you're you're now saved another thing is that unfortunately that same woman I told you the story about that went to the lecture and got the message of her life from r frim that she did not expect she thought that she just bought herself a get out of jail free card I'm gonna give all the money I give to breast to kabad to the rabbi to to all these organizations I'm gonna give it to raim and I don't have to keep Shabbat good deal right says nonsense so now she realized she has to keep Shabbat this is difficult this is not easy for her she has to adjust her life why because everything he said during these seven days wasn't exactly uh you know little uh Smurfs and Care Bear type of Torah told people the truth what happens after you die scared everybody to death because that's what the Torah says what happens after you die is very scary so she realized she has to do something about it but then Satan shows up she says okay I'm going to keep Shabbat okay I'm going to work on my modesty B husband's a little more difficult but he's going to meet with you on Tuesday okay we meet with the husband on Tuesday okay whatever keep everything is good they kept Shabbat Tuesday shows up hi yeah yeah I want to talk to you about something yeah I went to this meal yesterday and uh you know I this famous me I know him he this and I came to him and you know we donate a lot of money to him and he's very very holy man and as soon as I showed up as soon as I showed up he says wow I see your father in ganeden right now I see him this is what he said I see your father in ganeden right now I'm seeing him G meaning this person just eliminated the entire Tor why first of all our father was second of all our father didn't keep any third of all even if he was a sadik there's still a 12-month trial how do you get the gadan so fast after three days after a week how do he get there so fast how do you skip but as long as you is the check is made payable to cash I see your father in G so now what took several lectures several conversations hours and hours and hours of M real tah is almost destroyed in a matter of five minutes why because he's a that works for the Satan and she was looking for a shortcut she didn't want to keep Shabbat she's trying to go to somebody maybe there's a way around it maybe he's not accepting my money maybe he's going to accept my money he's going to take on Shabbat for me people are constantly going to these stupid people and unfortunately they themselves are being stupid but stupidity does not absolve you from sin does not absolve you from punishment another couple unfortunately terrible ter terrible situation the wife showed up to the wedding her own wedding they got married pregnant already pregnant before marriage now in the non-jewish world there's no concept of marriage if a man and a woman are together they're considered married there's no there's no K there's nothing but in a Jewish World we have to go to we have to have a you have to have a rabbi you have to have witness is that a kosher it's a process and a woman has to be she has to go to the mik before you're able to be with her intimately which means that she could only go to the mik after the can't go to the mik before if you're not married you can't go to the mik unless you're converting and that's a one time thing one time thing you're converting you go to the mik one time after that you can't go to the mik why you're not married you can only go to mik if you're married so now if these people didn't keep any mitv and a woman shows up to the wedding pregnant already several months pregnant that means that when they were together she was Nida she was Nida now she goes to brother frim and they tell them such and such and they trying to do chuat they get stronger everything is good they're starting to do chat they're starting to keep Shabbat and so on and so forth everything is good and then one day they hear about thisal again these m is a disease unfortunately that keeps growing and they go to meal and the mbal says oh your son is going to be like Baba Sali they have a little baby and he decided that their son is going to be like Baba Sali now what's the problem this is very nice thank you for the compliment thank you for the wish but what's the problem it cannot be maybe he can grow to be if he works on himself and so on and so forth but to say he's going to be like Bab s is a little bit of a problem and the reason why is because to come out of a a child that comes out of a is problematic in the very same book tells of a story of one of the people that had a debuk that came to him and this person the details are very very extensive but the point is is that the uh person was being punished why was the person being punished because they were immodest they were immodest it was a woman that was immodest and uh these people that have these theim these people that have these Spirits Tak control and torture them and hurt them and so on and so forth It's not uh great people it's people that sinned because if somebody's a sadik the Satan and his and his soldiers don't have over them says that his entire being is fire meaning Satan can't touch him can't touch him so even though sometimes you have certain people that knew T they had some problems it's usually because of some hiccup they had along the way also they said something they shouldn't have said they did something overall they're good they kept the mitv but there was mistake they made they went with a woman they're not allowed to go with they violated some type of big law and so on and so forth that was an opening that was an opening and unfortunately they got punished for it that's one of the punishments anyway this woman that uh went with a uh cheated on her husband cheated on her husband was an adulterer and one day she starts feeling pain and so on and she starts feeling like this is awful but she starts feeling like some other man is with her but she's with no one and someone is taking control of her and so on and so forth I'll spare you the details but point is is that she comes to and he says to her yes you have a uh there's a spirit in you there's a debuk and so on and so forth I'm I'm sure that some of the uh haters are going to crucify me next to JC peny with with some of the stuff we're talking about because I don't usually talk about this mystical aspect of the T but it's in the book you you you have a problem go deal with them uh I'm not the author um anyway long story short he starts finding out more and more details about these debuk these Souls the scary scary stuff and uh who are you what's your name and they're liars and they don't tell the truth initially ultimately he says the only reason I'm I'm in here is because she's a she cheated on her husband and that's the same sin that I made I started going off the D because I cheated also on my wife and I ended up doing a lot of other horrible horrible things and so on and so forth and became big what kind of big sh V it was was the soul of who started his whole used to be a used to be a big giant Rabbi who is whole eventually became a false Messiah became a false Messiah but it didn't start with just one day he uh misunderstood the gar and he decided okay I'm the mashiah didn't start that way he was a big Rabbi knew a lot of Torah some people say that he was literally the do he was unbelievable how much Torah he knew which was the reason why a lot of the other rabbis had a tough time battling him because he knew a lot of things he had powers but long story short how did he fall off it all started off by adultery started off by making a sin that he's not allowed went with is is and from there the Satan took over and he went worse and worse became a homosexual also had uh you know uh all types of horrible inside the B with on and so on and so forth it just imagine it and he did it imagine it and he did it and eventually he died strange death but the point being is that the Torah if you look at the Z if you look at the if you look at some of the things that RAB AKA says you look at any of theim that I've ever talked about this specific issue a child that comes out of Aid is problematic to say the least it's a problem does it mean that they're automatically going to be a rash doesn't mean that it just means that their their soul is going to have a serious T why because if you've made the sin that mean that means that Hashem has to give that sin to someone that deserves it mid mid measure for measure he's not going to bring you Babas KES kashim that had a pure soul from already Generations before him into such a illegal marriage if you will you understand Ishmael no Ishmael was was was was was made in in a legal way isma wasn't a uh married no he no he was he was allowed to go he was allowed to go with haar his wife gave him the ability in those days you allowed to be with more than one wife why you allowed to be more than one wife even today according to T you're allowed to be more than one wife the Tor allows a man to be married to more than one wife according to we see this uh not only from abah and yov but we also see it from all the way up to about a thousand years ago when Ru Ru out it made an he was himself married to two wives he was himself married to two wives but one of the wives was jealous of the other to such a point that she actually got arrested it's a very very mystical crazy story how he had to break out of jail and the jail was in a tower and he had to use cabal to break out of it because there was no way to get in there was no way to get out they literally built a tower just to put him there and he still got out using uh spider webs and all types of things you know point is is that I don't want this to turn into a cabales you but what the point I'm trying to tell you is that after that he understood that we are have fell already a thousand years ago have fell so far away from the generation of ab and yob that we could no longer be allowed to marry more than one woman because we can't handle it anyone that marries more than one woman is not married marrying more than one woman because of the mitvah they're doing it because of lustrious reasons so that's not going to work and therefore you forbid it and both the ashkenazim and theim uh comply with it there's only a small section of a few people in in Yemen and I think in Morocco that still hold to it but that's because they're still in their own traditions and they haven't really been they're not part of the rest of society today and they're holding by their own rabbis which is fine according to them uh but nonetheless the rest of the World we're not allowed to do it anymore it's not against the Torah it's a rule that the the rabbis forbid uh simply because we're not able to handle it if someone was KES kesim and the wife was KES kesim and the wife the first wife permitted him to marry a second wife that's a different story but no wife is going to do it then no husband is Kim at this point and if one is the other one isn't in general we're just not able to do it even if both were we still can't go against our big rabbis from previous generations so point being is that when you have a uh Tor that has it's an instruction set one of those instructions is to follow what the uh Rabbi say so when the rabbi are telling you that yes we have a law in a Torah that allows you to be married to more than one wife good unfortunately you can't handle it why because your wife will hang you if you tell her about another woman why because you're not going to marry another woman because you are fulfilling the Mitzvah you're doing it because you have crazy things in your mind you're not sadik you're thinking about I want to have this I want to have a different one every you're thinking about crazy things you're thinking that schl married a thousand wives because he was psychopath you're not understanding the real secret of what schl really did he married a thousand women because you wanted to bring the mashiach because one of the conditions of the mashiach coming is World Peace he says I'm going to have World Peace everyone under the same umbrella everyone's a Jew if I have the princess of every single country are married to her then everyone has to comply with what we're saying everyone's part of's gonna come he didn't do it because he wants to be with different women but your crazy mind is thinking look at this guy you had a different woman every day for three years in a row you wouldn't even see the same woman twice that's that's the psycle that we have you understand so that's why we're not allowed to we're barely allowed to marry one now you want two so so that's the thing so when a woman goes to when these women go to or these men go to these mikim and they tell them listen your son's going to be Babas your son's going to be this and just make sure you make the check payable to cash this is also a spiritual shortcut this is somebody is just looking for somebody to tell them something that we all know is fake themselves included but for the right price they'll do it one woman came to RAB zon and she told them that um she has came back from this mikal and the situation has gotten worse than ever because ever since she started coming to this guy in Brooklyn uh her life has gone from bad to worse and uh Ry thron says what what did you what did he tell you to do well he said buy this book for $15,000 book $15,000 what's the book say she goes I don't know it's in Aramaic I don't know how to read Aramaic so she you didn't know who this woman is she comes to visit him and he sees this woman doesn't know how to wear clothes either she doesn't only not know how to read at her Maric she's not a dress D is the least of her problems the fact that she doesn't know that she's supposed to put clothes on herself is also is a different problem so he asked the woman he he he asked the woman goes listen did he tell you anything about modesty no did he tell you anything about Shabbat no he tell you anything about kosher no no no this is the only thing he told me to buy this black book but ever since I bought this black book for $155,000 my life has gone from bad to worse what should I do keep Shabbat become keep kosher how about do what God says instead of spending buying your ticket out this is not a one-time thing this literally happens hundreds and hundreds of people fall for this every day I'm giving you all real cases you don't think I'm just creating this stuff stuff out of thin air there's another meal another guy impostor actor rash people go to him I don't know his name but they go to him and he sits there this old man he sits there and uh they tell him you know they people come they he said first and foremost you have to put meaning you have to agree to a monthly monthly contribution to his cause 100 200 500 5,000 10,000 whatever the deal is I don't know what the deal is but have to agree to a monthly thing after you agree to a monthly thing then you can enter and sit in front of him now once you sit in front of him what does he do falls asleep no I'm serious I'm not joking he falls asleep s Goes Like This falls asleep sleep everybody no one knows what to do you going to start telling hey wake up no no one knows what's going on because everyone this guy knows what's going on sh knows this guy's talking to right now he's talking to M where you know and that's exactly what he does he wakes up after about a 15 minute nap he took a little nap to old man so I just came back from sh I came back from Heaven I just came back from Heaven I see I see good things being said about you wow I didn't know you were so righteous and he gives the guy the smoking mirrors the guy if he get the the guy gave 5,000 now he's upping it up to 15,000 he's putting out one in front of it and he tells people that he sees them in ganeden and he sees their parents in ganed I just came back from the sh he goes he says I go to yes sh doesn't go yes over here goes to sh and his 15 minute nap you know do tell him it's a 15-minute nap he went to 15 he went to sh he goes to you guys are all smart so you're laughing about this but this is real if this wasn't real you think I would spend two hours talking about it next there's a story of an ad an ad they have ad they hold by their rabbis and have some of them have very good very a lot of respect for their rabbis but some of them take it too far like borderline craziness so we're not going to say any names but one time there was an admo head Rabbi died young died young and he uh this was the head Rabbi and uh he had one son a year and a half old he had a year and a half old son and his people were so like overwhelmed by their Rabbi and loved and a and so on and so forth they didn't know what to do with themselves so who's going to be the next admo his son his son's going to be the next admo we're going to make the son the ad the head of all the that we have but the problem is is a year and a half old so what they do so it doesn't make a difference he's kadosh he comes from him he has to be kadosh they got him little Rabbi clothes I'm dead serious you think I'm making you guys are laughing I'm dead serious this is funny but it's sad I'm dead serious they get him little Rabbi clothes little ad clothes they get them at clothes and now you have AAL you have a people are waiting online waiting for a blessing for this little year and a half little baby so now after you know a little while the baby you know people come to him and you know they put his hand on top of their head and they you know everybody feels great or whatever M Idol wor craziness but anyway after the mom at least had some brain after a little while I don't know how long it was 15 minutes or an hour and a half I don't really know but after a little while the baby started going hey he started like going crazy over something got really really excited about something I was wow maybe he sees something going on in shamim maybe he's seeing and people are looking maybe he's looking maybe's seeing something in shamim and the IMA says the the mom that had a brain and she know this whole thing is nonsense she goes no no no don't look in sham look in his diaper he's a year and a half old he pooped he pooped that's why he's excited cuz he pooped do you understand do you understand the stupidity we're in this is the religious World we're not talking about Christianity do you understand what's Happening Here next rabai next rabai next more more more more I can give you a Sho for five hours about this nexton Ben Moshe I know him personally he's the rabbi of r one of the rabbis the of one of the Giants mhe is an expert in several different things anyway one day he goes to a uh place where they uh they have chickens and he oversees this m he oversees all the chickens and he sees a whole section of chickens not like one or two a whole section of chickens and he sees all of the lungs have a problem there's worms all the lungs have worms have little mamash like they ate up into their lungs he sees one two three five six seven he says this whole thing is tarf all of them tarf now this story was told directly to who told me so it's not like it's like maybe no M firsthand firsthand in the story so he tells the story he says I saw these chick talking about a lot of chickens but they all something went in whatever they ate something whatever it is point is they're all bad you to eat them it's like eating a lion it's no different or rat or a dead animal same thing not koser animal to be Kos so he says the and he continues and he sees other places and he sees this just so happened to this meal this meal comes in with his robe and his beard and his this and his that and he just sees it this guy comes in and he comes next to the chickens that just a half hour ago an hour ago he said they're all now again like I said is one of the experts of the world not just like a local community knows who he is everyone anyone that's in the you know Torah world knows who he is of is is a big deal so he's over seeing he doesn't say anything he sees this guy say whatever he is he comes to the section with hundreds of chickens that are horrible dead animals that you're not to eat and he sees this m starts mumbling something mumbling something no one knows what he says 5 10 minutes he okay I'm going to take them tells the babite of all the chickens okay I'm GNA take them put them on put them on the truck says no no no sorry uh it's all he goes no no no it's not goes no no no it's t look at the lungs goes no no I fixed it I did a t for them he did a special prayer and now it's not t anymore you understand what we're dealing with here now this same person people come to him and they tell him give me a special blessing for my kid to be the next Glo give me a special blessing for me to be able to make a million dollarss give me a blessing for me to be able for to cheat on my wife and she doesn't find out give me a special blessing for all these things no problem just pay the money everything is good meal next what am I going to do about time what am I going to do now there was a uh this is not a true story but it's funny one time there was a meal that came to New York and uh went to a five star hotel in New York no one knows who he is they usually wear these fancy schmancy outfits they look like Wizards and uh and anyway he comes in with his you know one or two guys that work for him and uh the one of two guys the one guy that works for him goes to the uh counter over there he says listen we'd like to uh get room 6113 we'd like to get room 613 for the rabbi for the mual oh I'm sorry sir five star rest uh Hotel says I'm sorry sir but room 613 is taken it's taken sorry what do you mean taken the rabbi is here you know who this is all this he gives him a resume sir I don't know who he is it doesn't make a difference somebody already has that room somebody's in there you have to give it to him this is a rabbi he's a kados he's holy he's sir it's not up to me there's nothing we can do someone's in the room would you be opposed for me to ask the person that's taking the room can I talk to him H it's not really normal but uh come on we'll pay extra this let me talk to them what do you care go no they go to the room you know the guy they take the guy to the room he knocks on the door big black guy shows up what do you want meaning guy is not exactly uh connected to the MIM he's not connected to mikal the guy has nothing to do with colors is that basketball player makal usually don't go together so don't call me racist or anything I that's how the story is I didn't make it up so anyway what do he want listen he's a holy man he's here in a hotel and he wants room 613 and you're here please for the honor of the Tora for God for this for that hey get out of here he shuts the door in their face now the guy that works for the rabbi is not just gonna come back to the holy man and say I can't do it what does he do hello now the guy that works for tell is a little uncomfortable he's to get fired what is he going to do this guy's a little Jewish guy is a little pushy what's he going to do he's already here he's pushing this guy what do you want again holy get out of here close the door the guy what is he gonna do he goes downstairs to his Rabbi with the guy from the hotel he won't open what are we going to do what do you mean he's not going to open go tell him I told him go tell him again I told him again I'm going to go the rabbi the m is going to go Kuba is going to go now the hotel clerk doesn't even know what to do with himself he wants to bury himself right there and then he's going to get fired what's he going to do but now he sees his little wizard comes out and he's they're going upstairs to the sixth floor room 613 the guy that works for the rabbi runs to the door already ahead of the rabbi to make sure the guy is open the door hello big guy opens the door what he wants to hit the guy but then he says no he sees the rabbi down the hall the rabbi's down the hall and the hotel a few a few of the people from the hotel are there right behind them he starts running at the rabbi to go ahead he's upset he starts running at the rabbi and as soon he goes and he freezes in the air freezes everyone's shocked no one knows what to do the big 6'6 basketball player just Frozen in the air and the m is looking at him he says do you promise not to hurt any Jews ever again answer with your head with your eyes and you promis to give me room 63 like that and he starts moving Runs Out empties out the room they no one knew who the Raba is but for the next month there's a line out his out the door of the hotel people asking for blessings blessings donations people are coming with money to there already with bags full of money the hotel Clerk's witnessed this crazy thing only thing is a month later the same hotel clerk went on he wanted to go on vacation so he went to to the airport and he saw the rabbi the mbal his helper and the black guy at the airport going to the next city you understand so now in today's world there are a few there are a few very very few now how do you know who they are and what they are and so on first and foremost they're not coming to your city most of the time they're not coming they're not known they're not famous as a matter of fact one of the requirements for somebody to get to a level of AAL meaning someone that's holy someone that's very special is for them to run away from honor run away from cavod run away from all this Fame and so on many of them hide themselves their whole lives that's number one number two these people are glued to the Torah they don't have time to go hang out at your house at 2 o'clock in the morning just to uh have some because you donating for their cause so there there's a few out there in the world and I give you a couple Nam R cook that we mentioned in last week's on Sunday sh he's one of the M of the world the person is a holy man won't make such a person holy how do you get to that point I mean this is a person that removed himself from any joy of the world already as a young man when he was studying in ponich and he pich he already understood the concept of what's important and what's not important in the world and he decided that he doesn't want to have any Joy whatsoever in this world so he would put some type of liquid similar to gasoline in his food just to make sure he doesn't have any Joy whatsoever in his in life I'm not recommending for you to put anything into your food other than some salt and some uh some ingredients but the point I'm trying to say is that these are different types of people these are special people there's another very famous mov Adis uh if anyone saw the Ala of rad there was someone that was screaming uh in a microphone became very very well known portion of the whole thing very emotional that person that looks like he's worth $3 that's KES kov is a very very holy man now what makes him holy well one of the people that Witnesses himself tells a story and this is a firsthand story is that one time he was um you know staying at this uh at this Yeshiva or this area where there was a lot of talim and so on and uh one of the students one of the at night it was maybe around uh you know 1:00 in the morning was overhearing some type of singing singing from somewhere so he decided to leave his room and go downstairs to check out what what is this singing and he sees walking around pacing and singing what is he singing y Yip songs all the things all the prayers of Yip he says can can I help you you okay he says no I'm sorry I have a headache I don't feel good so I can't really study so focused so at least I'm repeating the prayers from y to to get me going to at least I'm doing something in the world you want if you really want to help me go go maybe bring maybe maybe we'll do something is either that people are debate is the most difficult part of the entire so he goes and brings the student the brings the he goes okay so I'm going to repeat everything that's I'm going to say what's in the gar and you tell me if I'm right and he recites word for word everything in the gar with the commentary with Rashi with tosot with the small letters with the big letters with the letters you don't even know are there with for not one page already at 30 hours and hours he's repeating word for word is just looking at it is in amazement this person has become so glued to the toah he knows the whole thing by heart at 30 depim at the 30th page which for me would take me maybe six years but for him at 30im after a few hours the the said you felt like it's too much for him already for him it's too much was continuing for was too much going into so much information so the point is that's a is kados someone that's holy is not holy because of his clothes he's not holy because of his Facebook profile he's not holy because of uh you know any other reason other than the fact that he's glued to hasem he's glued to the Torah so but still the story that we said in the beginning about the STI G where nothing is going to help other than your own prayers and yourself and your children and what you show is an example that's the only thing that's going to help us in this world and anyone that's looking for a spiritual shortcut just completely is missing the point it's missing the point of the entire Torah missing the point of the entire Torah now on um on uh Thursday we have the tent of tet the tent of tet it's a fast day it's a fast day what happened to tent ofet tent ofet there's three different things that happened around this time on the eth of the Greeks translated the written toah to Greek they translated to Greek and the say that after this happened this was such a this is what we talked about during kanuka they translated the Torah to Greek which was not allowed meaning they forced theim they forced the Sages is to translate it to to Greek and uh this was considered in the same level ofan like a destruction of the BET mikdash and this happened on the eth of and the reason why is not because of simple translation not because of that if you if anything if you look at it logically you would think this is K you would think this is sanctifying the Torah you're spreading the Torah to more languages more people will learn it this is great the problem is it's quite the opposite it's quite the opposite the Greeks were not interested in translating the Torah so they could become sadik the Greeks were looking to translate the Torah because they wanted to find out how to go against it they had their own they had some wise people and everyone followed their own their philosophy they were considered the smartest people in the world the only people that didn't listen to them were the Jews so why are you not listening to us like we have our Torah it's from God so tell us what it says we want to learn it not because we're going to change ourselves we're not going to learn tah because we're going to do chuv we want to see what it says so we can find out ways to go against it to go against the Torah and this is why there was three days of darkness a spiritual decline in the world happened after this translation happened and there was three days of darkness that uh that happened after this the uh and and this type of uh mentality is not necessarily just from 200 years ago the M disin the Mahin uh said about a hundred years ago that he put a on speaking English so you're not allowed to learn in English say not loud he put M he put a decree about a 100 years ago not to learn T in English why he says because this is where all the heresy is going to come from people that are not looking to learn Tor for the sake of Tor people are not looking to learn t for the sake of sanctifying ashame people are looking to learn t for the sake of doing the same thing the Greeks did they're looking for what's something that's misunderstood what's something that's missing what's something that's you know not uh not for the average folks what's something that we can go against and so on and so forth and obviously as we saw he was right now of course many other came out later on and gave leniencies on it and took the away but the point being is that the message was loud and clear he was afraid that the same thing that happened 2,000 years ago with the Greeks was going to happen again and unfortunately it's happening unfortunately it's happening it's happening in the modern Orthodox world it's happening in a different type of Reform conservative open Orthodox and different different sects of Judaism are changing the Torah that's holy that gave us the gave the and unfortunately they're making it into what they call Modern or what they call something it's something else it's no longer the same why because they don't like it and many of them are not simply coming out like the reform which just outright said we don't believe in the oral Torah many of them are not coming out like the conservative and saying we don't want to follow the oral Torah they're not coming out like them many of them unfortunately saying no no no the Ramba misunderstood it because if you look over here and you look over there and you look under the table and you look on top of the roof and you look at this guy you look at that guy and you translate this word and that word and this one you combine all these different things you got it you're allowed to eat pigs you're allowed to put wigs on you're allowed to be a pig do whatever you want that's someone that learns Tor but it becomes despicable with permission from the tah meaning not permission from the tah but he uses the Torah as his reasoning but in reality he desecrated the T he didn't really use the tah so this is one of the reasons of why we fast on 10th of tet but this actually happened on the eth on the ninth of tet the ninth of tet both Ezra andya both died both died these were KES T has a book for each one of them and in essence this is also one of of the signs that you know the uh this was the last of it this was the last of it and we know we understand today that when a is alive that's because the generation has the Merit to have him not needs him but has the Merit to have him when aad door dies that means they lost their Merit they lost their Merit to have this when R decided to make his son the head Rabbi of Israel some of the big ranim say during the whole area where they were accepting him it was a big celebration to accept he's a uh big huge but they say yes but I want everyone to say out loud that we don't accept as our Rabbi it's rude it's embarrassing in public no no Shalom because he's not a holy man Noom because he's not no because if we all accept him as our Rabbi that means is no longer needed Shalom andem will take him for us so that's what they did and included he did it himself also no but unfortunately we lost our Merit anyway we lost ra anyway surely after wasn't much longer same thing with of steinerman died recently it's not that they have lived their life once you become a giant Sage once you become a real meal your life is no longer in your hands AEM decides you can live 90 years you can live a 100 years you could live 200 years it doesn't make a difference it's as long as the generation not only needs you but has the Merit to have you so when died we realize that we have lost a huge amount of merits in sh huge for that we cry till this day but that happened on the ninth and on the 10th there was the F the attack on yush started now there's three different fasts that are fasted for the uh destruction of BET mikdash of 17th of T and each one of them has different parts this is the attack the when they broke they breached through it and unfortunately shab is when they destroyed both bet mikdash the first one and the second one so one of the things that uh is Mercy from sh is that the say listen the fact that all of these major horrible horrendous disasters have happened in very very short period of time me literally one day after another the eighth the ninth and the 10th okay obviously we learn that this is a time where hasem opens up the books opens up the books and reviews where do you stand are you one of those people that's a looking for linges looking for a new religion looking for a spiritual shortcut maybe you think you're going to go to some give him 500s bucks or 5,000 bucks and that way you don't have to do something that Hashem asked you to do it's going to override hasem or you're one of the few that's actually helping save the nation you use that same 500 bucks to actually get people to do chuva which one are you so we see it but as a mercy to the generation and a mercy to they said instead of mourning three days in a row which in reality is what we should be doing we should be morning 8th 9th and 10th the knew that we can't handle it so they pretty much com find everything to one day everything all the the whole entire fast is going to be on a tth of uh tth of tet which is on on Thursday now the awful things that happen on this day is for the same reasons of awful things happening today it's people that are looking for shortcuts people are looking for things for for excuses and if you look at the uh the books if you look at if you look at what was their job what are they what was written about them what they do they went and rebuke the people they went and rebuked the people for being intermarried they went rebuked the people for Shabbat they went and rebuked the people for going against God not with just small things with big things in marriage didn't become a problem in our generation Shabbat didn't become a problem in our generation fake mikim didn't become a problem in this generation this is already a 2,000 year old problem and the Cure is the truth it's the same cure that we had 2,000 years ago we're mourning right now because we weren't able to accept the truth 2,000 years ago the question is are we're going to be able to accept it now or we're going to continue looking for shortcuts many people are excited when there is AIT in why because that way they could skip skip or they're excited if a if it's a holiday so they could skip they don't have to do somebody gets married we skip or there's a lot of people that love every day there's at least one or two text messages a day oh there's a hula of some sadik that no one ever heard of or maybe you heard of him but in reality you didn't know today was the day that he died why is everyone looking every as oh no it's this one it's AA of this one it's AA of this one it's a meaning a memory of this sadik that died today why is everyone constantly looking for it because when it's say you don't have to say if you're celebrating the hula if you're celebrating the BR if you're celebrating the if you're celebrating all of these different things that's a way for you to Skip sounds good sounds like fun day before these are all different days that you don't say based on but we're looking for more days it's not enough that we don't say on it's not enough that we don't say it on Shabbat on on the itself and and so on and so forth for but we look foras we look for different ways why why why do we keep looking for it because T takes maybe an extra 10 minutes or five minutes in your morning prayer depending on whether you're skimming through it or you're actually reading it correctly could take literally five seconds or it could take 10 minutes depends on who you are but what's the really says please hem Our God and God of our fathers let our prayers come before you and do not disregard them our King we are not arrogant and we're not stiff necked people to the point where we think that we have not sinned because in reality we've sinned sins that were accidental we've sinned sins that were on purpose but just because the yet and we've sinned sins that we did duka to make you mad we've sinned us and the members of our household and then you have to go through so we're not pretending to be anything else and then you have to go through what kind of sins we've made ASU we've been guilty guilty of what a million and a half different things instead of all all everybody else's guilty no no I'm not going to the Sho because the rabbi's bad I'm not religious because my wife is this I'm not this because you're always blaming somebody else in reality you're the one that's guilty there some guy that doesn't want to come to my uh to his family wants to move his family wants to move and he says no no no but I'm not going to wherever Rabbi ruven is I'm not going to wherever he is yeah but it's good for your family what do you care about me there's 60,000 people in the community no no I'm not going wherever he is he's he's blaming his religiosity on me why cuz one time I told him the truth he didn't like it betrayed who do we betray ourselves our family our friends but most of all we betrayed God gazu robbed every single time you ate without doing a blessing you stole from Hashem we spoke slander and gossip I don't need to explain that part I don't think the speech that comes out of mouth that's not sometimes we've actually caused other people to sin knowing that it's a sin we actually made people sin just to make God mad zadu we acted wantedly we just decide to follow whatever we wanted now I'm going to wear a wig why my Rabbi says it why I don't know but I'm going to do it it look good I'm going to do this why I don't know I like it but you have anything to hold on you have anything to stand on you're GNA go to sh you're gonna see hem you're gonna see AEM you tell you why' you do it I liked it okay gandom section six right over there see where all the other people are there what are you going to go with and it continues going word after word of different levels of sins different levels of sins now one guy we'll finish off with this one guy came to the ramban and he says to the ramban nites he says look at this 900 years ago obviously they were much more righteous than us but he says to the ran he says look at this look how many differences I didn't make all these sins robbing stealing this that I didn't do all this ramban says if you actually know what each one of them actually means the root of each word not only will you realize that you violated all of them but you violated even more and the fact that you're questioning the fact that you even think that you're not guilty of everything here that by itself is going to be a reason why they punish you in sham so you better do chuv just for that alone this is ran you have a problem go to him he's in gedan right now waiting for your questions waiting for your questions you see there's no shortcut to there's no shortcut to fulfilling the will of hem you want to go to me they're in ganeden right now you want instructions AEM as provided them it's called the Torah stop looking for leniencies stop looking for shortcuts stop making your own rules all of us have this sickness I understand it's hard I understand it's different I understand if it's hard for you fine but don't start making new rules say okay I'm not a winner right now I'm losing here I can't do this this and this fine but it's true nonetheless listen I can't do whatever your hardship is someone that can't wear te te because he feels hot okay someone who can't keep Shabbat 100% because it's hard for him because of this this and this someone who can't watch his eyes because he's a Gil of of a fountain he needs to look at anything that walks he's a Reincarnation of one of these uh used to go like this all the time whatever he can't watch his eyes mein or someone that eats everything that's in front of him he's like a pig he's a pig if if it moves it doesn't move he eats it it's hard for him fine it's hard for you got to understand it's hard for you still wrong but he understand it's hard for you you have to overcome it until you overcome it until you're able to keep Shabbat until you're able to keep modesty until you're able to do what you know and I know and the Torah knows is right don't ever say it's wrong don't ever say it's not for you don't ever say it's not right why because by saying that it's too much is that's a different level of sin by saying that modesty that is not applicable to this generation by saying that you're allowed to put a on your head by saying that you're allowed to drive today because Moses didn't have a car by saying all of these different crazy things that people say to justify their sins that by itself is an additional sin and the reason why is because you're calling AB sh you're calling a a bad father why because every good father in the world it's Flesh and Blood every normal father in the world will never give his child to do something that he knows for sure he's going to fail anyone here that has children knows that they're not going to tell the kid Hey listen pick up this two th000 pound weight over your head and jump for me you're not going to tell him that why cuz you know he can't do it you're not going to tell him to pick up 2,000 pounds over his head you're not going to tell him to go pick up a plane in one finger why because you know he can't he can't do it so you're not going to give him the horrible feeling of failing when you know that's the only feeling he can get because he can't pass why because you love him and you love her What Makes You Different you're a better father than Hashem you think that Hashem gave you a rule that you can't pass you think that hasem gave you something that you can't do why he wants you to fail it's too much for you like this k whatever his name is that kidish guy that uh I keep talking about all the time says he has a whole lecture it's too much for you he has a book called It's too much for you he has a book he wrote a book I don't probably doesn't know how to spell so had other people write it but point is that you wrote a book it's too much for you it's too much for you Judaism is too much for you the title is the title of the book is inem it's it's heresy in AEM what do he means too much for you it's hard agreed it's hard to overcome says it hem says it that's the point that's the point that's the point it's that's why there's a reward if it wasn't hard everyone would do it there would be no purpose for the world but don't say it's hard fine but don't say it's impossible don't say it's too much for you don't say it's wrong don't make a new religion don't make a new religion why because then you're calling AB sh you're calling hasem evil that he's giving you something that you can't do and that's one of the things that each and every single one of us needs to take home need to take this home give your mentality a little bit of a washer and dryer session in your mind and understand yes it's it's understandable that there are certain parts of your life that are more difficult than others it's understandable that certain parts of the Torah are more difficult for you than maybe somebody else but the way that you can find out what your tikun is in this world what your whole purpose is in this world you don't need to read the cabalistic books you don't need them you can if you'd like you don't need to read the Z you don't need to read mystical things you don't need a lot of people ask me questions oh what mystical book do you suggest what book that tells me life after death what book tells me the secret of life what book tells me what happens you don't need any of those books you read them it's t but if you want the answer the answer is very simple if it's hard for you that's the point that's what you were here to do of course you're supposed to do the entire T you're supposed to keep shabat everything but the one thing that's specifically hard for you that's your T that's what you failed in your previous Gil if in your if right now it's hard for you to keep Shabbat if right now it's hard for you to keep kosher if right now it's hard for you to be a good husband if right now it's hard for you to have schom it's hard for you to be a a proud Jew you're like a Jew in hiding it's like you're a Jew you keep it but no one knows only God knows and you no one else knows you're a proud Jew why because you're like you know keeper is only at home Titi is only at home is only at home Jew is only at home outside you're a outside like everybody else but inside you're you know Jew if it's hard for you that's the point that's why you came here that's why hasem went through the trouble not that it's trouble for him it's trouble for you of bringing you back to this world giving you another opportunity to fix yourself so instead of focusing on looking for Spiritual shortcuts by going to these fake MIM makab whatever you want to call these people these fake Care Bear rabis instead of going to them that are going to give you a leniency and call you sadik when in reality we all know you're a rash we all know according to T if you violate Shabbat you're R if we all know according to toah you're going with with a married woman that's not your wife you're rash you're going against say you're rash it's not not to beat not to insult you it's a reality if you're an adulterer you're both in the secular world and and the religious world but the big problem is the religious World why because that's Hashem thinking y point being is instead of going to some Rabbi it's going to give you shortcuts that only have a price tag on them and tell you everything's okay instead of lying to yourself and creating your own religion in your own mind and saying I disagree with you Rabbi based on nothing look at the Torah say Aba I love you I need you it's hard for me help me help me ABA help me help me I need help and you have opportunities every single day to ask ABA for help every every day you have opportunities to ask ABA for help there's a countless amount of opportunities if you don't know them that's why the gave you as a man you're obligated to pray three times a day every single time you pray the already gave you words to say that they knew sound good in sham now sometimes you pray so much that you get used to it and you forget that you're praying you're praying but you're thinking about the stock market you're praying but you're thinking about your kids you're praying but you think about your husband you're praying but you're thinking about the employees being late you're praying but you think about some girl you saw you're praying but you think about everything but God so you should know that when you pray God's in front of you think about that for a second second in the prayer there are different spots where within the prayer that you you can and should add your own words not to replace what the say but to supplement it to add the certain parts within the certain parts within other parts of that you should add your own words three if you're really smart and you want and all the good blessings in the world you should do as often as you possibly can meaning you should eat bread no less than twice a day but at least once a day why because all the things that you could possibly want in life are in and the best part about it is that right before the last paragraph right before we ask Hashem to save us in a time of mashia that's a spot where you say usually you say the prayer for if you're a guest in someone's house instead of saying the prayer of the guest that's a spot where you can say a a blessing in your own words Hashem give me this Hashem help me this this is a specific spot designated for you to ask for something in reality everything that you could possibly want was already mentioned but if you have something you think is more unique for you ask for it that's the spot that's the spot you ask for it every single day we try to make it a uh a very important part to do that pray for our kids pray for learning Torah pray for the foru for it to actually work pray for hasm to put the right words in our mouth so you guys could actually do Chu and myself too those things pray for that last but not least you have a time to pray at any moment of the day the called it the rest of just calls it simple prayer just pick a spot and just talk to Hashem ABA it's hard for me help me it's hard for me to keep this it's hard for me to do this it's hard for I know it's real I know it's right I know I have to do it but it's hard for me help me that's an honest person that's a person that's that's a person that wants to fulfill the will of hem and that's a person that will fulfill the will of hem why because at least they're being spiritually honest and not lazy but if you're going to continue looking for different leniencies if you're going to continue looking for different M to give you a shortcut if you're going to continue looking for different rabbis that have different opinions than the truth then all you're doing is you're going to be the guy that's in one of these stories about deim that get special nice interesting punishments because that's the only way they can deal with you trust me you guys don't want the sh Gom because even the part before Gom is scary enough that's the part that people just simply don't understand it's not my rules it's not my Torah I wish it was I change it I tell you guys do whatever you want what do I care but the reality is that hasem knows better and he says we all have to do it so do it stop making excuses simple questions why not do no no not even close no no not even close you don't that's the thing I I say how I say what I say you don't sugar I don't sugarcoat it but I don't talk about details of what happens in gome why you because okay so I'll give you an example maybe next week but we'll see let's see I'll give you guys a taste I'll give you guys a taste of of what what we're talking about here I'm I'm I'm not it's again it's not because it's not because of any other reason other than the fact that I don't want to break you um it's a uh it's it's it's really if it's going to be done the way that I try to do things that it has to be done right I could do a about getting home now tell you some things about just scare you for the next six years but it's not going to be complete and the reason why is because no no I didn't say anything yet trust me when I tell you I didn't say anything yet in comparison to what's out there um the reason why is because I know that the people that are naysayers all these Care Bear rabbis all these Care Bears in general they're say oh where's this written what's this what's they look for a million and a half different sources what's this no maybe this maybe that so if I do it I'm gonna have to give you guys a million and a half different sources so that way you're not only going to be scared but you're going to be confident that it's true and a real reason to be scared so I'll give you guys I'll give you I give you an example I always try to explain to people what it means uh you know because they've been asking me to do a for a long time and uh bu yeah no it's not about buying the city he has to give it to you he doesn't sell it um and uh yes he did it and uh in Hebrew there's a couple of them but um okay uh here it goes before getting know before getting know before someone has in essence the uh the Merit if you will the Merit to go to Gom if you can't hear this you should leave I'm only going to say this for five minutes and then we're going to finish and you guys can ask other questions because I'm going to do a we'll do it properly I'll give you guys an idea before someone goes to has the Merit to go to Gom um there's something called kafak kafak now when a person dies the pain just begins a lot of people that are depressed and mentally unstable think that if they kill themselves they are going to end their pain but little do they know that their pain is just going to begin and the the paint begins at the um the grave site the grave site so first off when a person dies the uh there's a few special types of vicious angels that extend the size of the Grave make it deeper so that way that you can stand you can stand in a grave they put back the N inside the body so it's no longer a dead person like you know it it's the goes back inside the body and then they start beating it and beating it and beating it and beating it and beating it and beating it non-stop until they separate the kipa from the what's the kip the kipa is your the kipa is all the sins that you've made in your life how long is the beating going to take place how long the depends how many sins you've made if you are righteous and you've spent your whole life learning Torah fulfilling the will of hem working on working on M perfecting your your your character traits eliminating your anger your stinginess your all the horrible horrible things that have become part of everyone's nature then you've already encountered suffering in this world which made your n very soft which made the separation between your and the just require a small tap just require a small tap if on the other hand you like the V vast majority of people which in reality are far far away from everything I just described then they could be beating it could be Years Years not hours not minutes years one story in the UD was a person that was beaten in the grave for 12 years we're not talking about G we're not even talking about we're just talking about the grave the concept of time is not the same thing as time here yes the time is the same as as time but AEM could change time so for example there was one that Shalom helped Elevate this n and uh he took this person out of um out of kafak and got him to G and then after uh he was a gayn he was suffering horribly suffering Kaka was suffering gayn but then he prayed for him and so on and he took him and eventually the Gom sentence uh began after Ka and uh he prayed for him and he appeared he appeared to him uh through a different person or whatever and he says yeah asked him a question how far is Gom from the courthouse that makes the bed the bed that I explained to you guys earlier today how far is Gom from that courthouse and how far is that Courthouse from here and he says the courthouse is 40 years away 40 light years away from Gom and the courthouse is 40 year 40 light years away from here so said just minimized 160 years to a matter of moments why because this person was in Gom at that moment they took him out of Gom because prayed for him and wanted to see him wanted to talk to him to ask him certain things to see where he's at and he had the Merit apparently um and they took him out but in essence a normal Journey would take 80 years back and forth hasem changed that time in essence minimized or condensed time to 160 years so yes time is the same but it's different so when I say someone suffered for 12 years it's literally 12 years but it's not necessarily 12 years like you think 12 years so that's that's that's the first thing or second thing the third thing is is that what people have a failure and understanding and this includes rabbis this includes people that know T this definitely includes pretty much everyone that doesn't know T this includes Jews non-jews and so on is that they think in human terms people have been trying to humanize God since the beginning of time that's where all the idols come from that's where Christianity comes from that's where all these babot come from that's where India comes from all that garbage comes from that people try to humanize God that's the last thing you're supposed to do and the reason why is because when we think of punishment we think in human terms we think if somebody puts their hand inside a fire they get burned it's a certain amount of pain that your brain can understand you put your hand into fire it'll get burned worst case scenario you lose a finger or whatever what whatever was in it it's going to be puffy and burnt and so on and so forth but we can understand we could somewhat reason that's not g that's not kafak that's not the punishment that's human terms just like AEM may have mercy on us is not limited himself neither is his wrath neither is his anger if you will for lack of a better word he doesn't actually have anger but nonetheless his anger is not limited meaning the punishment is not something you can understand it's too much for you to understand so some of the things that I could tell you about it are being told in human terms they're told in human terms and they sound horrendous regardless but it still doesn't do it justice to what it really is so for example one of the spirits that came to you he was trying to help him but apparently he didn't have the Merit to be helped so these two angels that torture him or I'm sorry four angels that torture him non-stop you know the soul feels more pain than the body so it's a human terms but it's spiritual it's not a body sitting there so they came there and they started ripping his body apart into small little pieces they started with his organ started with his sex organs why he didn't have the Merit to be helped can you understand that can anyone understand understand that can anyone even reason something like this anyone not going to have a nightmare thinking about this this is not even Gom you want to see you want to understand a small concept of Gom go look at abortion films look at what happens to the baby that they kill and they think it's okay that this pled Parenthood and all these abortion clinics no no we just killing a little baby it's nothing it's just AAL it's a nothing nothing happens nothing happens there nothing in there it's just a piece of meat it's not even a piece of meat it's it's nothing it's a hormone it's it's nothing it's gas it's nothing it's nothing but in reality it's 100% the human being small but nonetheless 100% a human being after 40 days 100% living human being arms legs ears eyes brain everything to small and if you see what they actually do to they even do it after six months in some cases it's a fully grown baby but how do they take him out they cut him into pieces they can't take them out normally because that would be birth and the mom would see it so what do they do they take these pieces of knives in so many words these different knives and clamps and they crush the baby into tiny little pieces like you do eat a steak and they take all these pieces out after they crushed them and then you can see videos of what it looks like now why do I tell you this do I want to make every girl every woman here cry do I want every man here realize what happened in the world today what what what am I doing this this is the best case scenario in G best case scenario you want to beat you'll have a price to pay you want to go with a woman that's not yours you'll have a price to pay way you want to do things against God you want to decide that you're going to listen to some local rabba because his wife wears a wig and they drive on Shabbat they you want to do this go do what you got to do you have a price to pay this is the best case scenario you guys really want to know about this stuff show hands how many people really want to know more two three God bless you guys TR it's not a matter of wrong with truth it's a matter of you're going to if I tell you more information you're eventually going to get to the point where you going throw up it's not a matter of mentally strong it just means you're mentally numb just means we're numb we're numb we don't even understand we don't understand the pain that's what says that when you give people strong M sometimes you see that certain people they take it they're able to listen to everything but as far as Chang they take a little more time they don't necessarily change right away but they're able to listen to everything say what's the explanation it says that certain people have become numb numb they don't actually completely comprehend what it means this doesn't this is not an offense to any particular person we're all at that stage we're all at that point at some point so I can tell you myself when I first learned about what Gom is some years ago it's not the same as me learning about it again today it's a same sh it's the same information but it means something different today than it did mean several years ago the N that you have today is not necessarily going to be if you continue learning T it's not going to be the same the same developed n you're gonna have in five years from now so if you're able to handle certain things right now that's as much as your n can handle but as far as the full truth it's nothing changes it's just that later on you read the same information it'll affect you differently so it's not a matter of power who can handle who can't handle that wasn't really the question the question is understanding what we're dealing with here and again there's a a uh hard stuff I think it needs to be said I spoke to my R about it and he's been against not really against just so it wasn't time for years but uh for uh we're running out of time running out of time uh the enemy unfortunately is growing the Christian World missionary World fake Jewish World fake people in general unfortunately they're winning they're growing they're getting bigger and stronger and uh the ones that we call religious the ones that we call our brothers and sisters are progressing but nowhere near as fast as the rest uh so since the Shure about Gom hasn't been done yet I think it is time for us to do it so I already agree to do it as far as timing is concerned I don't want to open a pay for the Satan I don't know when it's going to be maybe next week maybe next month I'm not really sure yet um but uh again again this information that I just gave you now it's 2% it's 3% it's nothing it's nothing so understand that you're going to come to that sh come you should hear it all of you should hear it everyone should hear it but understand what we're dealing with here the only reason I say this is for the same reason why wrote this book why the was written why the was written why the Torah was written why all of this were written was because in order for you to stop sinning you need to understand what it costs some people don't get simple lecture you can tell them a lecture I have a guy who been listening to lectures my lectures three four years still doesn't keep Shabbat nothing loves the lectures he thinks it's great he loves it tell oh wow amazing I love it wow great all the compliments in the world doesn't keep anything why he's not getting it he's not getting it you know he doesn't listen to it on a regular basis but nonetheless he listens to it and every time he listens he sends me a message oh W great good wow entertaining like you think it's like a talk show host you know so the thing is though is that it's a uh we need to know we need to know the price yeah Point only here people we've been in exile for 2,000 years why why is this why what's happening why is the world as as far from where the truth isage and so on and so because we're going against God I mean it's our free will if if if we didn't have free will then there would be no purpose for the world so as far as uh the reason why we mourn on on on tent of for the BET mikash and you know it's simply because when the BET mikdash existed it was there was no need to look for miracles Miracles were in front of you 24 hours a day uh there was no need to determine whether Hashem runs the world or not you literally saw it you saw hasem performing things that were above and beyond nature of what we think is nature so unfortunately today we don't really have an understanding of what we lost so most people we tell them oh you have to fast on Thursday oh you have to fast on Tav immediately they're thinking about their stomach immediately they're thinking about how hard it's going to be for them to not to not eat and not drink they're not thinking about oh bet mikdash I can't believe it not suffering for the bet mikdash I would I I would I would really um venture out to say that there's very very few Souls remaining in the world that actually suffer for mdash at any moment forget about just in general ever very very very few actually understand the magnitude of what we lost what people are concerned about is food so like R again Shalom used to say you know and all of these fasts it reminds him of of like the the old home the old people homes why people walk around with their flipflops asking when's the food that's all people are worried about that's all people are worried about a tent ofet when's the food when's the fast going to be over so the fact that we are where we are today that we're only worrying about food we're only worried about when is the prayer going to be shorter we're only worried about how good we look in front of everyone else in the world whether they're Jews or non-jews and not necessarily caring about how good we look in front of Hashem is simply the outcome of our own actions our own actions being that we study less Torah we follow less Torah we do less of what Hashem wants us to do therefore we distance ourselves from from him so it's just like simply what is it like a a couple you have a couple you have a husband and wife in the beginning husband is excited about the wife the wife is excited about the husband everything is fantastic after a little while they have a kid sometimes if they're not working on the marriage like it's a full-time thing is a little less excitement why the excitement was transferred from husband and wife to the kid then you fast forward a little more maybe there's another kid and now the little bit of excitement that was in the marriage was now transfer whatever was left into another kid and it gets to a point where unfortunately sometimes the wife becomes like a baby oven the husband cares less for anything else other than just her making babies and her cleaning the house and heart making food and pretty much in essence just being there and the the wife just makes sure that the husband is the is the bank as long as he brings money in I don't really care what he looks like I don't care what he acts like I don't care what he does and in essence it becomes like more of like a roommate type of relationship now this is not because they never loved each other it could very well be but in reality it's most likely not at some point they most likely did care for each other what happened why did the why did the marriage deteriorate to a uh a colleague type of relationship a roommate why because they stopped caring about what each person wants instead of what each person wants they start caring about what they own want what they each they want themselves if you want to have a good relationship you have to remove your self from the relationship rule number one of a a successful relationship is stop saying I no more ey there's no more ey in a relationship there's no I in team there's no I there's no I want this there's no I want this there's no what am I going to eat when am I going to do this there's no I first thing of a relationship is to understand that you need to transfer all of your desires for happiness to the other person why because making them happy if you truly care about them and you want to have a good relationship making them happy should by itself make you happy by default it should make you happy if making them happy does not make you happy with the wrong person so once you actually care only about making the other person happy if the other person is a normal person they'll do the same if you remove I from your vocabulary they'll remove I from their vocabulary all they'll want is to make you happy if all they want is to make you happy and all you want is to make them happy then you have a happy marriage doesn't matter if you have kids don't kids if you're old young and so on so that means that every single day you're looking for reasons you're literally looking for reasons to do what they want oh wow you know she likes flowers I'm going to buy her flower yeah but it's not Friday it's not Shabbat it doesn't matter she likes flowers it's Monday she likes flowers I'm in front of a flower place I want to buy her flower ah you know what she likes granola bars I want to go buy a granola yeah but it's gonna take me five minutes oh but it's this but it's that yeah but she likes it she's gonna be happy for five seconds because I bought her a granola bar she's gonna be happy for five seconds because I got her her coffee be happy for 5 seconds because I called her she's gonna be happy for 5 seconds because I thought about her and I text her and I sent her a funny picture you're constantly looking for reasons to make her happy not because you're going to get something in return because that's business it's because you're happy the business transaction is she's happy that's the best change you can get so once you get to that type of mindset you should get rewarded in two ways number one you get the happiness from her and number two she'll want to do the same thing for you or vice versa so in essence you're looking for things to make the relationship happy and nothing can come in the way not kids not money not uh anything if she knows that being close to hem makes you happy she'll want to be close to Hashem simply because it makes you happy not necessarily because she likes hem she'll eventually like AEM because she'll see the reward from it but nonetheless she'll do it for you if it's a healthy relationship if she's not doing it for you there's something wrong with the relationship with you not with Hashem because she doesn't understand what AEM is same concept with the man if you are treating the husband in a way where he's happy he'll do whatever he can to make you happy if he's not worrying about making you happy that's because in reality he's not happy with you a man that's happy with a woman will do anything anything to make her happy a man that's not happy with a woman will do nothing he could tell yeah I'm fine I'm fine because men are like you know they like little elephants just barely move I'm fine I'm fine they're like they look for Comfort they look to sit somewhere and a couch and do nothing in a reality a man that's Happy will do anything anything problem is most people don't know what happiness is because they never felt it so that's the that's the thing in regards to relationships even more so with hem as a nation we stopped caring about the relationship with we started caring about what do we get for it if I keep Shabbat am I gonna get money if I keep am i g to get money if I do this am I going to get money money money money money money all we want is money hasem give me money and then I'll be more religious we get money we become atheists biggest biggest Kim in the world are rich we get money we forget about God who gave it to us so the reality is that we're we're we're changed our relationship we think that the reward is in this world and we ask forem to do business with us I'll do this but give me this I'll do this but give me this I'll get you know if you give me a job I'll uh you know I'll be religious if you give me this I'll do this we try to negotiate with hem aside from the fact that it's stupid when you really understand the significance of it it's the just the wrong way going about life and the reason why is because soon if you have that type of relationship with hem and unfortunately many rabbis Advocate this type of relationship where if you do something Hashem will reward you for it in this world they tell yeah if you give hm will give you 10 times more if you donate to my cause will give you 100 times more if you come this Hashem will do this for you hashm will do this for you the reality this is that this is a system that's bound to fail and the reason why is because hm eventually says you know what let's see what happens if I don't do it you still love me you still I didn't do it you gave Sak I took the money not only I didn't you didn't get rewarded I actually made you lose money you still going to give again you still love me did you give for sake because it's commanded you give because you want to publicize T you give because you want to publicize know becoming Jewish and not just Jews wondering in the world not even knowing that they're Jewish are you advocating the IDF because you want to show that we have weapons or you're advocating tah to show that we actually have a weapon what are you doing and that's the thing so if someone gives that type of Sak where they're looking for a reward eventually they're going to get a test and this is not me wishing better on anyone this is just a reality this what Torah says eventually hasem says I'm not GNA give do you still love me you still love me I didn't give it to you I didn't give you I didn't give you a reward I'll give it to you later but you don't believe I didn't give it to you actually in fact I punished you for it I made it look like a punishment made it look like you gave a half million dollars in thinking that next year you're going to get 5 million not only you didn't get the five million you actually lost 5 million you still love me I'm still God you still going to go pray you're still going to go to ban you're still going to keep Shabbat or you going become because didn't give it to you that's the thing so once we understand that all of the mitv number one we have to do them because hasem said so that's second of all if you want to have a good successful relationship with hem you have to worry about what he wants from you for the sake of the relationship itself and ultimately get to a point of loving hasem and exercising that love why am is not at that point is the very same reason why the Messiah hasn't come Messiah hasn't come because if he comes right now this will be a blood bath I don't know what percentage it is but it's a large percentage unfortunately unfortunately it's a large percentage um a water everywh you get the paper towel um so the key is to understand that we have a mission we have to work on ourselves we have to help we do thank you any other questions oh people get more scared you're you're God bless you you're the only one that's advocating for getting the uh getting scared I think I scared you guys enough okay k right well the difference is that the uh msia the story of messia is the story of the Messiah as it is because one of the promises that hasem made is that once the mhia comes he's going to slaughter the Satan he's going to slaughter the Mal it's going to slaughter the so the number one thing that the yet does not want is for the mhia to come because that's his funeral if you will so one of the jobs of the Satan himself not even his servants and not even his soldiers and so on is to get in the way of the mashia to get in the way so this is the re this is Essence a uh a thing that's very logical so in essence every single time something that's relevant to the mhia happens Hashem made it happen in an unusual way in order to hide it from him in order to not give him the opportunity to get in the way so for example in the M of Tamar and yud that we learned a couple of weeks ago the Satan thought exactly like what you said pure you know impure comes from impure um and pure comes from Pure so when he saw that Yoda was being influenced by hasem to go with a prostitute and Tamal was pretending to be a prostitute he didn't know necessarily that they're going to be together he has said nothing good can come out of what's going on over here cuz she's making a sin he's making a sin hashem's not happy I don't need to bother with this let me go bust the brother's chops the other 11 the other 11 that are making mitv fulfilling hashem's will let me go mess with them let me get them to do something foolish so that in essence gave that activity a moment you know a moment of of opportunity where they were able to cohabit in essence bring uh the two sons one of which ends up being the seed of mashiah if you uh go actually before that lot and his two daughters again the Satan saw that lot wasn't exactly the most righteous man in the world and uh him being in a cave with his two daughters didn't exactly look like anything that good was going to come out of it so he didn't bother getting in the way of everything of anything if he knew that if they cohabit m is going to come out of it is going to come out of it is going to come out of it he would have stopped it he would have appeared as something said no come on it's your daughters all of a sudden he's a sadik all of a sudden he's righteous come on you're going to be with your daughters no let me wake him up you drunk you shouldn't drink it's bad for you go smoke marijuana instead I don't know it would something so the point is is that he would have gotten away so logically it didn't make sense but that's exactly the reason of why hasm used it same thing with David and uh and Bacha the way that the relationship looked initially it didn't look like it was appropriate even though it was 100% legal according to the Tora says that anyone that says that sinned is wrong he did not sin but nonetheless it looked like a sin it appeared like a sin and that's the reason why the the Satan didn't bother getting in the way so in essence AEM this is just a few reasons of the explained to us explains to us and so on of why hasem does what he does of course there's a million and a half infinite amount of other reasons of why hasem does what he does this is just a few tastes that we know of or at least that I know of um so in essence the route or the Journey of the mashiah has to be an unusual Journey simply because it's a uh it's someone is specifically getting in the way whereas in other cases for example like the uh you know the um issue of sh orish and so on and so forth where you know there was they had Souls that had issues like Elish for example thear says how could it be that somebody had learned so much Tor eventually went so bad that it became heretic you know he murdered he did this he did that he did a lot of bad things how could it be so the uh thear explains that initially when he had his breit mil his father invited his father was very rich and his father invited and he had and he was also knew knew some Torah uh but he invited all the and a few of the big I think it was R maybe maybe it was others but anyway uh couple of the came to his home and they started learning T and they were the they were very very holy and that when they started studying T they literally started creating a spiritual fire around them so the father saw this he goes whoa you're burning my house no no no worry it's spiritual fire it's not burning anything this is the fire of Torah so the father said oh if this is what Torah does I now am going to I decided that I'm going to dedicate my son to learn to his whole life so the say this was a bad move and the reason why is because he didn't dedicate Elisha his son to Torah because Hashem said so he didn't dedicate Alisha because it was good for Alisha he dedicated Alisha to uh to Tora because he wanted to get cavod out of it he wanted to get honor out of it he wanted him to make fire to become a circus scene tell look my son's a sadik he studies so good that he's creating a spiritual fire so it came from a bad place so in essence it had his n had a gum had a some type of uh you know a little bit of rust in it now even though Hashem puts every you know everyone has their own tests everyone has their own tests sometimes the test comes because the child is made out of a uh impure cohabitation sometimes a child is a Mel sometimes the child comes because a uh you know bad parenting and so on and so forth so the that hasem gives them is a that has some type of issue with it and sometimes literally the is a bad it's an evil it's literally an evil do not mean that hem removes their free choice no the explains that if hasem creates to the most extreme you know uh example literally brings a evil n bad has horrible traits passed by the uh place of wanted to go passed by the synagogue didn't want to go want to run away so what did he remove his free choice no absolutely not explains is that these evil just like they have the inclination to do evil they have at least just as strong an inclination to do good so he gave them an inclination to be an idol worshipper be a pope but he also gave him the same power to be theor in Torah so there was actually a famous story somebody came to rim again and uh he said to him uh listen me and my friend we both went to the same me and my friend we both learned from the same Rabbi me and my friend we learn Tora every day everything is good we both had children both wives are Kosher both wife are religious both wives are good kids he had a kid I had a kid both kids went to the same Yesa both kids had same rabbi both kids learn toah everything is good his son became Rabbi my son became a priest how do you explain this for he says I don't know your son or you to explain what happened but I can tell you why it could happen his son saw his father every every day wake up in the morning 4:00 in the morning to go to excited to go pray to God and then after he prayed to God he was excited to go learn some Torah and then after he learned to he was excited to fulfill the will of hem in one way or another even during his business and during his life and during his marriage and during his everything when you whisper Tor in his ear like Shalom when you would whisper Tor just the word tor in his ear even in a hospital bed you see his face change so he whisper to his he gets happy unfortunately sometimes people have a different father they wake up in the morning they go to beet it's because they have to they go learn T they they learn but they don't really feel like it it's because they have to they do mitv they do because they have to they build a su it's because they have to can't wait till sukot is over so I go back to my house type of mentality the other guy can't wait for the Suka so he could stay there and he wants the sukka to be extended he says that's the difference so one guy is excited about to so his son sees is he y that I have this Tora now I inherited this Tora that my father's so excited about I'm excited about it I he's excited I'm excited he wants it I want it I want to replicate ABA so the son's excited about hem the other son he says my ABA he only studies T he only fulfills the Tor because he has to I don't have to I'm new generation I can do whatever I want you keep your own dream ABA I'm going somewhere else and he says that's why it happens sometimes and as he's telling the story the guy that his son turned to a priest starts crying he says it's exactly me I'm the one that always did it just because I had to I never knew that was a problem so Judaism is not something that you do because simply because you have to you have to do it because you have to but you shouldn't stay that way you have to work on eventually wanting to do it that's why learning tah is something that you have to do on a daily basis if you're doing if you're fulfilling the will of hem you going to beet and you're learning and you're doing all different things simply because you have to eventually going to break eventually you're going to break if you're doing it just because you want to show other people that you're doing it and they're not doing it eventually you're going to break if you're doing t because of the wrong reason eventually you're going to break you have to do tah because you're working on the relationship you have between you and so that's that's the most important thing listen I think that the um the issue of reward and punishment is important for all of us to know the details of the punishment are also important to know at least once in your life at least once in your life that's what my brother and I decided that we have to do the because it's simply not available in English it's simply not available in English uh so at the very least once in our life we have to do this Shure it's not a very it's not a easy Shure to do trust me it's probably hard for you guys to listen to some of this stuff it's even more hard or at least as hard for me to say it um so but at one point one point in our life we need to know it simply because this is the type of stuff that gives us a little bit of a reality check when it's uh when shows up but again a uh if this type of Shure some of the stuff that we said today doesn't cause you to go home and second guess yourself you should be very worried you should be very worried that you're spiritually numb if you're not going home today and trying to figure out how do you fix yourself how do you fix your Torah learning schedule how do you fix your marriage how do you fix your relationship with your kids how do you fix your how do you fix something if you're not going home tonight tonight tonight and thinking about how do I fix how do I do chuva I don't care where you are me myself I'm going home and figure trying to figure out I'm gonna do chuva after basically little bit I told little paragraph that I told you about what happens there if you're not that just means you're numb you should be worried should be worried because the numbness comes before complete spiritual death so was still alive so key for these shim is not to entertain you I'm not an Entertainer I'm not looking for fans like some people say oh yeah you you know I got uh I got offended by what you said what did I say oh you said that if uh you wear colorful keas it's not uh you know it does I'm not religious I said I didn't say that first of all and second of all you being offended by what I said it depends if I said it's my opinion sure I'm sorry but if it's not my opinion I don't really care if you're offended you're offended by God I'm not looking for fans Not Looking for fans you want to learn T we learned together you want you want to be fans go there's plenty of other people that can be looking for fans so this is the type of Shield that needs to help you get du tonight sh tomorrow sh also around here uh and anyone that wants to come should always be to Naomi and uh next week most likely is going to be the day that we do uh the Shure um be ready take notes and uh don't eat too much before you come to the sh about earlier with people that are trying to look for shortt and they are saying that's not really for them and they trying to look forward to not do stuff so they said these people are like one of the people that I hat and even when they trying to do ch does as prevent them and not accept the is it like in this world or is it like they have to die before they can have a chance to really do a real true they have to really suffer before it's accepted no and the uh as far as someone that's looking for excuses and uh in essence think that thinks that they're okay and they don't need to do chuva then that anger AEM a lot and uh as far as depends what level of excuses they have um one of the prophecies in the Book of Ezekiel uh is that Hashem is going to force everyone to do chuva at some point or another uh even if it requires for him to break them what does break them mean just use your imagination uh so some people do chuva through Shing some people do chuva because they broke a some people do chva because they lost some money some people do chva because they got AIDS or they got cancer or they uh have some disease that no one knows how to explain and now they're in pain 24 hours a day depends which one do you want same price same price so so that's that's the thing that people need to understand if if you know messing with God is not like messing with your boss it's not like messing with your bus so as far as people that uh you know mess with hem it depends it depends the ramb Shalom says that the worst possible punishment that a person can get in this world is that Hashem literally gives up on him meaning that hasem does not allow him to do chuva what does it mean not why don't you just kill him not just kill him put him in G no Let Him Live even longer so you can make more sins so the punishment will be even worse to that extent so like I said before hashem's wrath is not like man's wrath it's not limited he's not uh you know your buddy he's not your boy he's not your local kabad Rabbi he's not your he's not he's not he's not any of that and anyone that thinks otherwise aside from the fact they're kofer they're an idiot for thinking that simply and it's I'm not don't excuse my language for thinking that hem is anything but Hashem you're an idiot thinking that he's your friend he's your buddy he's your whatever you have no concept of what you're dealing with yes he loves you no questions asked he loves you more than you love yourself but he will punish you if you do something wrong it's not a simple thing that will be forgiven for unless you do Chua for it anyone thear says anyone that says that hasm is just going to let go of things will get an additional punishment just for that foolishness for that thought that they think oh no I'll get away with this that's an additional punishment for treating Hashem like he's one of your friends from the bar so if you don't have fear in you if you're not scared of what's going to happen then you have to check your pulse you have to check your pulse you know so it's a uh it's it's not a um it's not a simple thing and again I'm you want sources I have books and books and books of sources I think I mentioned a few today uh why no one else talks about it in English language I have no idea can't speak for them all I know is that we have to do it we had a lot of problems doing shim like this we had a lot of problems when we did a sh about wasting seed literally the Satan himself showed up to the sh with to use six cameras so I don't know whatever is going to happen between now and next week or whenever I decide to do this sh has Mercy on us it allows us to do the sh but uh that's a sh that if whenever we do it I'm not going to wait I'm just going to start the sh and whether is here is here whether it's not he is not here no questions asked going to go to the sh try to finish it as soon as possible um again I some of the stuff I'm telling you you understand some of the stuff you don't understand point I'm trying to make to you is that you have more than enough reasons to do Chua sure just to keep us there keep us there so hopefully this will give you guys a little bit of food for thought will have mercy on all of us and open our hearts that are made of stone and tournament to flesh help us do before arrives
