OHR HAGANUZ MOVIE CLIP PART 5

[Music] in his page 539 he warned about this danger of Jewish people lending money with interest and he write as follows. It's forbidden to lend with interest to those nations whom we live in their shadow and treat us favorably. They are people of faith, believers of the blessed creator and the Torah of Moshe came from heaven. Anyone who takes interest from the nations in our times more than the norm in the markets of that country is committing two evils. One, the very fact of taking interest payments itself is evil. And furthermore, he is in the category of aff who is among those who put the Jewish people in danger by giving us a bad image in the eyes of the nations. It is appropriate for us to follow the attributes of the holy one. Blessed be he who desires kindness. But as a result of our many sins continues, the wicked people act the opposite of this instruction. As Schlomar Mik says in Proverbs 12:10, the mercy of the wicked is cruelty. We can clearly see that those people who lend money with interest initially seem to be an act of compassion and lending money to the poor in his time of distress. However, in the end, we see that this is an evil and cruel dispensation. The slender increases the interest and makes things tougher on the borrowers with biting interest. Eventually, the poor man simply cannot bear it and the lender comes to take away all the poor man's property as part of his interest obligations. Similarly brings a fry narrates in his book called Aub page 334 and 335 his own memories of his life when he lived in Ukraine in a place called Colombia. And he tells of how there were certain Jewish personalities who took high interest even more than the value of the principal amount meaning over 100% interest. And they caused a lot of animosity towards the Jews by the non-Jews. 100% in cash advance is cheap because some of them are charging 6 700% and even some as high as 4,000. But here he's talking about how this interest of 100% caused anti-semitism in Ukraine. If that was enough, this would be sufficient. But there's more. A historian by the name of Elzar Bashan came to the conclusion in his book that there was a certain degree of justification to the hatred that the locals had towards the Jewish population in Fez Morocco. This was due to those Jews who were on one hand enjoying the hospitality of the foreign nation. But yet on the other hand they were lending them money with high interest. Even the rabbi of Fez of Morocco at the time from 1873 to 1900 also agreed and joined in holding these Jews at fault. Meaning this is not just a lone historian that is agreeing with the gentile perspective. No, the rabbi of Morocco agreed that these wicked Jews are causing anti-semitism. So whether it's Morocco or it's Ukraine or it's Poland or it's Germany or it's anywhere in history, you saw Jews lend money with interest. It creates anti-semitism. One of the businesses that many people are going to today is this rotten business. The sat pays cash and a lot of it. People think that they're going to do good and therefore they'll be able to give stock. I can assure you not a single dollar that you donate from that business is considered stuck. It's all considered stolen. every single person in that business. Even if you're a clerk, even if you do the paperwork, if you're a lawyer, if you're an accountant for them, if you're a secretary, needless to say, if you're a broker, a principal, compliance officer, and an owner, every single one of those people is bringing anti-semitism to the world. Every single one of them is increasing the power of Amalecch. And some of them are even part of Amalik and worship at all. Any rabbi that takes money from those people knowing that this is where they get their money from without saying anything, without stopping it, without at least rebuking the guy and trying to get them to do chuba, you are a partner to the crime. Why? By you taking money from these criminals, you're in essence enabling them to continue doing evil. If you are in a horrible spiritually deformed business, whether it's the cash advance business or any other business, if you're cheating your customers, if you are cheating anybody, if you're stealing, if you're being dishonest, if you're a dishonest doctor, you're dishonest lawyer, you're a dishonest anything, you are empowering Amalik, you are bringing a holocaust to the Jewish people. Don't blame the non-Jews for being evil. They're simply being used as a tool by Hashem to get us to do chuva. Why does Hashem use them? Because of people like you that steal from them, that empower them. This doesn't justify their sins, doesn't allow them to cause us any harm. But it's important for the Jewish people to know this is not a new thing. Anti-semitism being on the rise is not a new thing.
