so well uh the stronger the the more Satan interferes that's one thing that we learned from so we have a few things prepared for today but whatever hasm wants to give me to say result hasem will say it if you have any questions along this year please feel free there's a lot of new people today um the uh today's world is as confused as ever people have no idea what the truth is sometimes you send somebody a little bit of Truth you could change their life instantly sometimes you send somebody a little bit of truth and you earned yourself a new enemy it depends really what kind of person they are it depends what if they're looking for the truth or not some people are looking for the truth and you can help them but some people are looking for an excuse and if someone is looking for an excuse unfortunately there's nothing you can do to help them um I had a um one of B one of the uh people that watch the sh one of the students trying to do K she's trying to show shim to different people and uh she sent it to this other woman and instead of saying listen thank you very much even if you disagree thank you very much not interested start a whole War start a complete Total War I can't believe you did it you hurt me you did this you did that why cuz she's not looking for the truth and that's part of the problem the people that are looking for the truth usually they're going to be surprised it's going to shake up their life because you're telling them that pretty much their entire life is for for for lack of better words one big lie everything that they ever thought is a lie whether it's because they have a pre-existing belief in a different religion or they pre-existing belief that you can do whatever you want in this world and Hashem is not going to care or perhaps they even come from as far as completely being atheist and not believing that any you know we just came from some explosion uh and somehow this explosion turned into a monkey and the monkey is now giving you a lecture you know there was a funny joke uh one guy came to a rabbi he says uh he says to the rabbi uh you know what Rabbi I heard your lecture thank you very much but me I don't believe in anything you say I believe that we all came for monkeys he says you know what I believe you came from Monkey too so that sometimes people Express such foolishness that you really can't help them but if someone is looking for the truth you have to do everything you can to help them and that's one of the things we're going to talk about today because kiru is not something that is uh you could do or not do it's an obligation on every Jew to do you know they say that the Sayes say that two things are going to save us at the times of the mashia one is tor which is learning and fulfilling the Torah it's not just knowing that Tor exists but learning and fulfilling the Tor and what it says and the second thing is is kindness but say just say what's the ultimate type of kindness what's the highest level of kindness It's not money it's not healing someone even according to teaching someone and helping him do Chu is more important than saving someone's physical life because the physical life is only saving him here but if he's a sinner you're not really saving him you're hurting him but if you save his soul that's eternity and that's why the sages speak very very harshly against people that are violators of Shabbat violators of the foundation of the mitv because this life is just a hallway what are you going to live here 7 years 80 years 100 years however long you're going to live here the real world is eternity if you're not prepared when you get there there's no more chuva in the next world there's no more oh I didn't know let me try again and that's one of the things that people misunderstand today is that even though reincarnation is very much a part of Judaism it's a part of Torah it's it's in Hebrew it's called Gul where someone that uh did not fulfill their purpose in this life could be given another chance it's partially Mercy it's partially punishment it's not a complete Mercy meaning that in essence if you're here with me myself included that means we screwed up in the last life we didn't finish our mission because if you finished your mission you wouldn't be here you don't see Moses walking around yov is not here either is not here theim don't come back we're here why cuz our last life we didn't do too good so on one hand it's good we have another chance on another end it also means that we didn't do too good that's just a reality check the problem with relying on reincarnation is that it's going against the prophecy that we are here now at the end of times 50 years years ago all of the signs that we needed that the sages wrote To Us in the in the Z and a all of the all of the Torah that we had um all of the Torah that we had told us that right now we find ourselves in the end of times 50 years ago we know of those signs we knew of those signs already 3,000 years ago but 50 years ago we had a few of the signs but today as we did a sh in New York about two weeks ago on the first year we did over there we talked about the mashiah and we went over some of the prophecies that it says in the and when you read them it's m like reading the newspaper everything that we have as a sign is here the only thing that's missing is the mashia himself so relying on a g relying on re AR nation in essence that means that we'd have to come back today grow up to be 20 25 years old and righteous the whole time but that also means that the Messiah is not going to come for another 25 years which I wouldn't bet on no one knows when exactly he's going to come whether it's going to be tomorrow it's going to be 5 years from now it's going to be 20 years from now but a based on all knowledge that we have it's very very soon and once the mashiah comes there's no more chuva and there's no more conversion they ask uh they say one of the prophecies at the end of time is there going to be a lot of converts an extraordinary amount of converts we're seeing it and I'm not just saying from my own personal experience we have converts from all over the world uh that are converting now in the process of conversion whether it's in India or Bulgaria uh Australia bashem the United States um but also other rabbis are seeing the same exact thing and as you see the magazine on the desk over here it's a very it's my favorite magazine it's called zman magazine highly recommend they have very very good stories cover of the magazine converts I'm subscribed to this magazine for a couple of years already I never heard one thing about converts right now you're seeing front page a whole community in India decided to convert 1 1500 people then uh a guy that used to be a pastor converting him and his five other families it's happening it's happening whether we like it or not it's happening so says that at the end of times we're going to have a lot of converts so now that was the sign we're seeing it live but thear says well we're going to accept converts once the mashiah comes says no no more converts why not why no more converts once the mashiah comes says then it's not fair anymore of course you're going to want to convert once you see our the Jewish mashiah here and am turns from being the hated Nation to being the number one nation where anyone that's wearing a according to the prophecy according to the Tora the tanak anyone that's wearing is going to have 10 people from every one of the 70 Nations so that's 700 Holding On To Each corner of the tiit so you do the math tiit has four corners you have 700 700 700 700 it's 2,800 people 2800 people that number one you have to teach them Tor and number two they're going to do anything that you need you're the Arabi you don't want to be a rabbi well now when you have 2,800 people 2,800 students that want you to be their RAB and they won to do anything you want they'll power the uh power company for you the water for you cook for you clean for you all they want is to learn some T from you for what for wearing who's not going to wear titit another benefit of titit is that it's the simplest Mitzvah in the world that um I think it was the AR either V before he died started crying so they said to him well why you crying you're you're going to go your next world is greatest world I mean you have why are you crying he says no I'm crying because I'm leaving a world that I can get a mitvah for doing nothing every second that I live into a world that I can't get any more mitv he goes well what Mitzvah is that wearing you wearit every second you wear it's another Mitzvah you made one Mitzvah how long does it take to do five minutes 10 minutes one mitzvah another another 19 every time you say you read aah you did on gorade you got a mitvah you for one minute 60 one minute 60 mitv where you going to get something like that so that's why most of the people that are not doing whatever they're not doing it's usually out of ignorance ignorance and it's a Comin of the two but the beauty of the of hem right now is that he's showing us things now that he hasn't shown Us in history but it's on high speed things are happening really really fast good and bad good end someone can one day they're worshiping Idols the next day they watch either one of my lectures or they watch Torah and signs from RAB mrai the next day they want to convert they want to take on they the woman's going to cover our head hair she's going to be modest all of a sudden yesterday she was wearing a bathing suit on Facebook today she is covering head to toe and she wants to put three layers of clothes just in case one day 24 hours everything changed that's the good a guy seees a Shabbat video on Shabbat wants to keep Shabbat five minute video Chang his life minutes this is unbelievable never happened like that you usually you'd have to work hard to get people to do chuva convert convincing arguing someone that's looking for the truth instant on the other end the bad is also instant we see that homosexuality Unfortunately today has become a very very acceptable behavior and it's being even celebrated so you had a couple of weeks ago you had a uh whole uh event in Tel Aviv during the event two terrorists show up and start killing people a party on sh in Florida bunch of homosexual people Hashem sends a punishment terrorists kill 50 53 people injure another 50 now again we don't hate anyone you're not allowed to hate anyone unless they hate God or hate the Torah but we cannot say that what they're doing and their behavior is acceptable just like you cannot say that a murderer is acceptable you cannot say that someone's violating Shabbat is acceptable you cannot say that homosexuality is acceptable yes I understand that some people have a desire to for the same sex Hashem says it's not allowed someone has a desire to steal does it mean it's okay so if you you have a friend listen my friend's a kleptomaniac he needs to take things so okay so bring inv him to your house will steal your whole house enjoy no don't don't offend them don't tell them you're not allowed don't offend them or some guy that's a pyromaniac likes to light fires invite him to your house for Shabbat he likes the house on fire no no just don't tell him don't offend him something is not allowed you tell people it's not allowed simple as it gets and that's one of the things that we're confused today because it says that in thear that if you know someone is going to is not going to listen there's a Mitzvah and he's violating the Mitzvah he's not he's not doing it and you and you're going to tell him something but if you know he's not going to listen says don't tell him it's better off not to tell him that every Rabbi that's not rebuking that's the card they're using that's the card they're using but here's what the Torah really says it's not referring to the it's not referring to the biblical not that he's he's it's referring to ainle so for example you saw someone not make a blessing on food which is one of the seven laws that the rabis has added to the 63 mitv we have 620 technically cuz seven were added by the rabbis so you see somebody didn't do a if you know Listen by the way buddy you should make a on the potato chips because it's if you know for sure the guy's just going to get upset and he's not going to listen he going to Da against you then yes okay don't tell him maybe find a different opportunity when he's less angry that okay you're fine now you don't have to tell him but violating Shabbat murder homosexuality things that God said you have to say it you have to say there's no choice so we you tell the guy listen uh I don't want to offend you but by the way that guy you just murdered you weren't allowed to do that you have to tell people and that's the reality that's the mistake that people are making when it comes to mitv when it comes to rebuking when it comes to Tor Hashem is very very serious about the truth that's why his signature is em em means truth so this week's is very very interesting par like every but it's also going to connect us to what we started the sh with in the beginning of the Paras we have uhem is again giving a special present to the quim where building the Tabernacle each one of the tribes had their own job and AR didn't get anything says no no no don't worry you're going to get a special job job just for you I want a CO it's not a regular Co it's it's the first Co you're going to work on man you're going to put together the manur even though it's mosenu actually is the one that built the man but you're the one that's going to put it in place where it needs to be soem spoke to Moses saying Speak to Aon and say to him when you K Kindle the lamps towards the face of the manur shall the seven lamps cast light then after that verse three says Aaron did so towards the face of the manora he kindled the lamps as as AEM had commanded Moses this is the workmanship of the manur hammered out gold which hammered out gold means that it was one nugget it was one nugget of gold it wasn't a bunch of pieces of gold that they put together they made the cup and then the uh the part that holds it and then the base no it was one big nugget now if you ever went to Jerusalem they have a uh replica a replica it's huge it's huge and extremely heavy it's I think it's uh something close to almost 3,000 ounces of gold which is an enormous amount of gold it's very very big it's you know about maybe this high or even higher um so how could it be from one nugget so the kazal says here's the secret after says hammered out gold from its base to its flower it's hammered out meaning from the bottom to the top it's one piece according to the vision that Hashem showed Moses so did he make the manur so first off it's saying here one of the things that refutes all false beliefs about the oral Torah which people says you know when did hasm give us the oral it doesn't say anything in the T about oral tah this is actually one of the verses that shows that he did show us things Beyond what's written in the written toah because the WR Tor has all of the laws but no explanation of how to do them there's no explanation of how to keep Shabbat there's no explanation how to doit there's no explanation of anything what is there's no explanation of any mitvah not one out of the 630 there's no explanation of how to do it so how so how do we learn it that's the oral Tor which we got at the same time but part of the oral Tor hasem actually showed Moses how to do the Mitzvah actually showed him a visual showed him like a uh something to see and this is exactly where it says it according to the vision that hasem showed Moses what Vision did he show Moses in Mount sa so did he make it so now kazal says what does it mean so did he make it what does it mean that uh that Moshe actually made the man it's one nugget did he really make it and actually some of kazal say that the the most common belief is that Mo Moses actually just threw the gold Into the Fire he threw a bunch of gold Into the Fire he told AEM I I can't do this this is you showed me what I need to make I don't know how to make the stuff says okay okay just throw the gold Into the Fire and then he threw all the gold Into the Fire and miraculously a manora came out but why does it say here M can that Moses so did he make the man this is teaching us about AEM and one of the most important midot that a person needs to have in their life say little do much a righteous person says very little and does a lot there's a lot of people say no listen they make a lot of empty promises oh listen I'm going to uh get you a lot of customers and next thing you know the guy doesn't even want to answer your own calls he doesn't even want to be a customer oh no listen don't worry about it I'm going to get you a uh shid the guy next to me asked him about oh yeah forgot okay next time oh yeah I forgot promises the world does nothing no we're going to arrange you know have plenty of people say no we're going to arrange big lectures you're going to get here you're going to get there you're going to get there some people bash deliver like the group in New York delivered like you wouldn't believe some people a lot of promises so hasem says this is one thing you got to learn for me not only did I not promise anything but I did it and despite doing it I didn't take credit for it I said Moses did it Moses made the manora not me why cuz I want him I want him to get all the cavod doesn't need any more cavod and that's one of the most important things we need to learn in life is that when you want to do something especially when it has to do with something holy whether it's going to be it to pray or it's going to learn Torah or it's going you know or anything like that don't say anything if one of your friends calls you don't tell them listen I'm on the way to sh T I'm on the way to B don't say anything why as soon as you say something the Satan is immediately going to interfere you're opening the door for the Satan is going to give you every way possible to interfere with you gun there you want to do something good be quiet be very very quiet keep it to yourself Satan can't read your mind but once you say something oh yeah listen I'm going to sponsor a th000 CDS next thing you know the guy has a bad uh investment and all of a sudden the Satan is tell him listen maybe you should just do 500 okay okay you know what I'll do 500 as soon as you're about to click the button like you know what somebody else probably got the 00 let me just said 150 by the time you press the button $18 18 CS why cuz you spoke out loud you say I promise promise promise Satan got into got into your head and it's uh without Tor it's impossible to beat the Satan so says they call the satal if the manal comes to you what do you do says drag him to the k why drag him to the because another says the only way to beat the Satan is through TM says I created a Satan he's stronger than everyone he's older than everyone so which means he has a lot more experience than everyone he's smarter than everyone how can we challenge him hasem says I created a Satan but he created a potion potion is called T so if the Satan is interfering with you if he's yet is telling you listen go to this club go to this Pub take drugs you know commit all types of sins against hem says the only way out is to what if you can't get there yet you going from the pub to K is a little hard so gives you an answer says if comes to you first thing you got to do is see after that if it doesn't work learn Torah after that think about the day you're going to have day you're going to die so now there's an order here why why why is this order says remember there's an eye that's watching there's a God up there he cares what you do he cares if you go to the or the or you going to the pub or you watch TV for three hours he cares he cares if you do or not he cares if you do on time or not he cares about everything everything he cares cares if you wear tiit he cares if you wear kipa he cares if you're proud you or you're embarrassed of your goish friends he cares about everything to sayma remind yourself of that that's not enough that means you need your is very big start learning T cuz that's the potion start learning T open aash open open something get connected sometimes your mind is so deep into the garbage you can't even see the words that are right in front of you so that's what the third step is for says remind yourself of the day of judgment remind yourself of the day you're going to die why because once you get up there there's no more chuva there's no more I didn't I forgot I didn't remember I didn't learn this for my Rabbi there's no more you show show up there you got to pay the bill and if the bill is big punishment's big and that's the reality and that's why until just a few hundred years ago there were only two types of sh two types of topics they were talk about the entire Tor in lectures but there's two types of topics g g there's only Chang in the last few hundred years where we started saying oh no let's talk about schom and and let's talk about the and let's talk about you know being nice to people and being politically correct and voting for the next president and all Psych psychology and all types of neutral topics that are not going to get one soul to do Chua not one person will ever do Chua from those things not real tra at least maybe they'll wear keepo maybe they'll come to beet but they'll talk throughout the entire they're not going to really repent when they're saying V they're also looking at their phone without you you can't do you can't do Chua there's no real Chu without it's impossible why because if you are not scared of the Creator who are you praying to then and if you're saying you're praying to God how are you not scared of him which means you don't know who he is you don't know what he is cu if you know what he is you know who he is and how he's in control of everything of course You' be scared so something wrong here so that's why back then they had two topics you had say listen this this this teaching you do all this you go to ganeden you do the opposite go to Gom sometimes Gom lasts for one year sometimes it's Eternal depends what the sin is this we see from page 17 we read it I think about a week or two ago says there's certain types of people that even after the mashia comes even after Hashem ends this world and shuts off the Gom their Gom will not be shut off lasts forever a very serious uh punishment so we got to make sure not to get there how do we know we learn from tah so now after we realize that this is Hashem is not only rewarding us not only does he care about every single one of these parts of the bet mikdash we see that he cares about every single thing that happens especially from the leaders it says in this in the uh chapter n in bbal chapter n spoke to Moses in the wilderness in si in the second year from The Exodus from the land of Egypt in the first month so this is just year number two that's it this we just got the Torah we just got the Torah a little while ago less than a year before this we got the Torah we left Egypt a year ago a year ago and Hashem is talking to us saying the children of Israel shall make the PES offering in its appointed time on the 14th day of this month in the afternoon shall you make it in its appointed time so regardless of you guys all doing chuva right now just just a year ago you were Idol worshiping he's telling you a year ago you're worshiping Idols with the Egyptians you got you left I made all the Miracles you got out of Egypt split the ocean the plagues man everything this is year number two you got the Torah already I expect you to do everything he didn't say hey by the way he just did Chua just a year ago you finally got Tora so I'll let it go of you just keep half the Tor keep PES but whenever you want start at night not in the afternoon like I wrote in the Torah start you know eat P for only three days not a week eat half kosher at home eat kosher in the restaurant you can eat whatever you want eat tuna out of Delhi no he didn't say that he says you just got the Torah I want you to do it at the appointed time twice he says it according if that wasn't enough he emphasizes even more according to all its decrees and laws shall you make it so in case you didn't get it that by me meaning that you have to celebrate P exactly like I said I'll give you more clarity according to all its decrees and laws shall you make it you have to follow everything it says you don't have a choice oh I didn't know you have to learn just like you spend 20 years learning for your career you have to spend a little bit of time learning for your eternity that's why the rambam says in his generation which is about 800 years ago almost 900 years ago he says the batlan someone that actually has a full-time job still needs to learn 9 hours a day sometimes someone has a full-time job still has to learn t n hours a day today someone that's learning all day could probably learn N9 10 hours a day that's all he does righteous people will learn 9 10 hours a day some of them obviously much more but the point is that the just see the difference between 900 years ago and today he's saying someone has a full-time job goes Works n hours he has to learn n hours however much he works in a material world he has to learn that much so when I tell people listen start doing chuva start learning 15 minutes a day it's not that I'm telling you it's okay to learn only 15 minutes a day listen 15 minutes today you're going to have the same ASU no reality is you have to start somewhere where I started 15 minutes a day it's a lot more now but it had to start somewhere you tell somebody listen day one you have to learn nine hours the guy says listen Gom can't be much worse cuz they don't know what the Torah is in the beginning they don't know how sweet it is and how beautiful it is to find out answers to find out the purpose of life to find out that it's everything they don't know what it is when they don't know what it is in the beginning Torah is is very bitter it's very hard for them you tell them nine hours they're going to lose their mind you lose them right away so like I say to everyone start 15 minutes a day and build on that build on that but hasem is telling you what his expectations are because that's what we have to shoot for if he told you listen the ultimate expectation is for you to obey half my laws then why did he give us all the laws so he said no no no the expectation is that you keep all of my decrees you show up to missing some you're going to have to pay for for it can't be Aon can't be half religious half secular it's either you're righteous with hem or not it's either you're going to the beach with the guys in a mixed Beach which a or you go to which by the way I heard from ra again someone has a choice to die or to go to a mixed Beach you have to die that's how bad it is you tell that to people live in Miami they probably have a heart attack what do you mean I can't go to the beach but my house I brought us $3 million apartment right on the beach just so I can go to the beach and watch all the half naked women and some of them even naked so yes exactly they're naked and they're going to be in G home right with you so that's that's the chaem is expecting from us Moses spoke to the children of Israel to make the Press offering they made the PES offering in the first month on the 14th day of the month in the afternoon in the wilderness of Sinai according to everything that Hashem had commanded Moses so the children of Israel did as you can see it's repeating the same thing in different words but it's saying it's saying to you did chuva here not only did chuva they did exactly what hasem said and Hashem is repeating it in different words they made the PES offering okay so it could have just said made the P offering no no they made the P offering on the first of the month okay made first fine on the 14th day of the month okay on the first month on the 14th day of the month fine okay that's what hasem said we got it why do you it's a second SEC it's the next sentence why you repeating again in the afternoon okay yes we know okay that's what it said do it in the afternoon we know you're probably going to do it in the afternoon in the wilderness of s what's the big deal in the desert listen our conditions are much worse than yours you live in Miami you live in New York you live in bokeh you have an alarm clock in the morning we had roosters you have eight bathrooms in your house we have to make a hole outside of the camp we have to walk 40 minutes just to get to the hole to go to the bathroom you have food whenever you want press the micro Heats it up you get fresh beautiful food we're in a desert even though they had plenty of Miracles the point being here is that specifically mentioning the desert because we have no excuses our life is very very easy if you compare our life to even just a 100 years ago the stories that our grandparents told us about I walked eight miles to school it's really true people walked 8 miles to school and 10 miles to the besset and not one person complained why because that was normal you tell a guy listen you got to show up to mes at 6:30 in the morning yeah but the right is so long why why how far far do you live at least 10 minutes ride Al you have to press a pedal to get to aess for 10 minutes it's that much work that's the one thing I never understood about people who give rides somebody asked you for you know you're taking somebody home and I asked you oh can you give me a ride he like ah it's out of my way at least 10 minutes what are you carrying the car in your head you're pressing a gas pedal what's the big deal and that's the one thing that people need to understand is that you always have to look at things in a perspective of hem what does hem want you to do act as if hasem is always watching because he is you have a little bit of money in your pocket homeless guys in front of you you have either a $5 doll Bill a $1 bill or $1,800 bills you have almost $2,000 in your pocket okay you can give him the dollar it's still a Mitzvah but what would hasem want you to do what do you want Hashem to give you back you want to give him $5 maybe $5 you could actually buy a meal a dollar maybe he'll get a Bazooka gum you have $2,000 in your pocket what do you need $2,000 for you understand we have to be as generous as we want Hashem to be with us same thing with anger your wife give you an attitude in the morning okay you could do one of two things you could yell at her and act like an animal which is only going to destroy your marriage little by little and eventually she's probably going to leave you or you can say ah I remember I learned in t Rabbi said hasem said that being angry is the same thing as idol worship it's that bad why why is it the same thing as as idol worship because when we're angry that means that we feel like the world is supposed to work according to us and the time that it didn't work according to us because she said something that we don't like or the stock market didn't go up the way we wanted to or the boss or the worker didn't talk to us the way we think we deserve the world didn't operate according to us in essence we're turning ourself into God hasem says you're not let the idol worship it's a very big sin so when you're angry you have two choices either be quiet and contain yourself remember hasem is watching and I know it's it's a very very difficult midat to work on very difficult a lot of these things are easier to say than do but the reality of it is when you think that hem is watching at all times it makes life a little simpler so now am is telling you despite being in a desert we did it and again it continues according to everything that hasm did they didn't miss out on one mitvah they didn't miss out on anything whether it was the matah or the mar or anything they didn't miss out anything just as hem said as he commanded Moses so the children of Israel did this is also giving us an idea of how serious chuva needs to be whether you are your chuva is because you're didn't keep anything and now you want to start getting close to Hashem or you're leaving a false religion and you're converting either way hasem is telling you this is your path to chuva this is your path to me if you want me to accept you you have to be like how you have to be serious I say something you know it start doing it as soon as you learn something start doing it I know it's hard but it's much harder up there and that's one of the things we have to understand you got to start taking chuat much more seriously you can't be one of these people that kept chabbat you know already two three years ago and that's it that's the only Mitzvah you do okay you give a little Sak here and there you go to be once a week that's where you finish that's where me and hasem that's what we're not learning to every day we're not doing K we're not working on our mid we're not working on anything else I keep Shabbat i e kosher once in a while I stay the same level that I started with three years ago I'm exactly the same level that's not serious okay three years ago was perfect theem was extremely happy with you that's why you probably saw a bunch of Miracles you probably saw a bunch of Miracles things happening p is coming maybe a z maybe this things happen AEM is so happy when somebody does cha sometimes it gives them a lot of miracles in the beginning but that was 3 years ago today you're still the same level today it's not okay if my one-year-old daughter right now she started walking right now she takes seven steps seven steps in a row it's very very cute and then she falls a but on a butt it's very cute but if once she gets to 15 years old she takes seven steps and end Falls that's a problem we have to take it to our Hospital you didn't understand we have to progress just like we have to progress at work you don't want to be the mailman at all times you don't to be in the mail room you want to be a CEO so what do you have to do to be a CEO you have to work harder mail room eventually maybe become a clerk maybe after that become a Salesman manager supervisor da da da da da 20 25 years later you're a CEO but it's not one of these things where you have a good week and then the rest of the year you're status quo every week has to be better than next and if you if you're going to do that for your job for money for things that are temporary it's even more so you have to do it for hem that's Eternal and this exactly what hashm is trying to teach us here he's telling us you have to take chuva seriously if you're staying if you're exactly where you were a year ago there's a problem every year when you look back when you're doing Chua every year you look back you have to say I can't believe I did so much I can't believe that's all I did back then I can't believe it like you have to almost be like disappointed in your past but happy with where you are but still ambitious to where you want to be if last year and this year look the same it's not good every year you have to progress that's why for example RAF kvki every year he completes reading the entire sh which for a really smart dedicated person takes seven and a half years he finishes it every year on top of that he finishes the Yas on the same year which also takes another seven years and he also finishes the enti tan with all of the MIM which at the very least will take 10 years for a normal person also that and the entire which also takes seven eight years to finish in that same year and several other things that I can't remember he does all of those every year okay you could say oh he's a genius he's this he's that fine accepted great but you already did it your whole life already he been doing it for 80 years 90 years what why again you read it already you read the sh once twice three times you did it 20 times already for what again what when you ask him what did he say he goes no no I just I just want to know a little bit of Torah like I don't know anything he's telling you with all of what I do I don't know anything I just want a little I I just want to learn a little bit of Torah just that's all I want I just want to know a little bit where are we you understand and that's that's the thing we have to compare ourselves to where we need to be at all time times if we shoot High we have a chance of getting there if we shoot low we're not going to get anywhere it's the same thing in every aspect of life after this part of am was so ecstatic about this PES and mitv that uh they did something unusual they asked for more they uh some of the uh people of the is did not were not able to celebrate the first PES because they were contaminated with uh you know they buried some bodies or they were carrying the grave of yadik and as we learned in last week's par if you touch a dead body you're not allowed to uh uh be part of you have to be out of the camp say listen we weren't allowed to be in a camp because we were still contaminated so we couldn't celebrate PES with you we couldn't do the uh the Corban but that's not not fair because according to hm's Tor you're not supposed to lose from a Mitzvah we did a Mitzvah we were burying people we were carrying we were doing what hasm said so how can we missah so what does what does Moshe say Moses said to them Stand By and I will hear what Hashem will command me command you so first thing we learn here is number one when somebody really is trying to do the will of hem not only do the mitv become easy you end up wanting more that's when you want more when you want to add more at that point you should say okay you know what I have a really I have a good connection with hm I have a real connection with hhm when you're struggling struggling to keep Shabbat the whole time you're struggling to keep the you're saying I can't believe there's a three-day y you have a lot of work to do you're still in the begin doesn't mean that you're you're keeping the but you got you got work to do we all have work to do but here one thing we see here from is that part of them are saying we missed out mitvah want another one the other thing we see here is the level of access M had complain go hold on one second let me go ask God I'll get back to you who has that kind of access to God you have a question hold on a second let me go ask God I'll be right back hold on a second hasem they're complaining they weren't able to do the Mitzvah what can we do so what do hem responds Hashem spoke to Moses saying speak to the children of Israel is saying if any man will become contaminated to a human corpse or on a distant Road whether you or your Generations meaning this mitvah is eternal he shall make the PES offering for hem in the second month on the 14th day in afternoon shall they make it he says Ah because you wanted a mitv usually I'm the one that gives mitv but now you're asking for something I'm going to make an extra one for you P second p a month later you really want my MIT wow is a Yi why I love my sons so much I'll give I'll make a new one for you he made so all of this we see at Mount sonai and also it adds this is one of the many places in the Torah that it talks about converts says when when a convert shall dwell with you and he shall make the PES offering to Hashem according to the decree of the PES offering and its law so shall he do one decree shall be for you for the prolite meaning the convert and the native of the land so here Hashem is specifically telling us that the laws for the convert and the Natural Born Jew are the same why why is I mean once he's converted he's a Jew why why why is Hashem taking extra space here to tell us that the convert and the Natural Born Jew have the same thing say because PES is talking about the Exodus was celebrating the fact that we left Egypt convert didn't leave Egypt convert it's not connected says no no no his soul is connected why because the day they went go into the mikve and complete their conversion they get a new soul that soul went through MIT that Soul was a mount sa Soul he had before becomes secondary now he gets a real significant soul and that Soul has the same laws as everyone else that's why convert as soon as they um convert there's a few things that happen they part of the procedure they changed their name to a Hebrew name uh another thing is is that that's officially their birthday their old birthday is no longer celebrated so you were born on some goish day March 1st 2 you know 1975 great you convert this year September 1st or actually you have to count the Hebrew birthday that's official birthday you're officially zero years old so if you have kids they're all older than you you're officially zero years old somebody's 50 years old converting now it's pretty good for them 20y old you guys don't value the uh you know being young telling you once you get older you appreciate I can go back to being zero so but that's what it is that's that's what actually happens and hasm is telling you it's a big deal so now after this we're Mount Si hasem is also telling us about the seven clouds that uh protected am throughout all of the desert it's mentioned the cloud of Hashem is mentioned seven times in the uh in here which kazal explains that the reason why it's mentioned seven times because there was seven clouds protecting am one on the right one on the left one on the bottom one on top and then one under their feet and then one leading am and clearing the road any scorpions snakes enemies mountains everything in front of them will be cleared up even the floor the ground will be leveled so they're they don't get tired and on top of it it's telling them where to go it's first GPS system in history free and it wasn't a lady's voice you didn't even have to hear you just follow it you didn't have to see anything it's so funny sometimes you you know the the GPS talks back to you shut up shut up get angry at the GPS like it actually has a you know a person behind it but no you don't have to worry with the cloud in the desert everything was working fine we knew exactly where we need to go after this we are about now we're going to leave mount saai and kazal says that that was our first sin even though hasem said to leave sa said leave s you're going to go to is you're three days away three days away Mount Si three days walk to is in essence we are supposed to get the land build a bet mikdash greatest day in history we make a first sin first of three sins what's the first sin we get excited to leave Mount sa the Holiness of Mount sa the Holiness of the Torah the closeness that we have to hem we want to leave why CU kazal says we were scared he's going to give us more mitv since he just gave us another one we didn't you know we wanted to complain but weren't really sure if we want another Mitzvah so now you gave us another Mitzvah it's like okay let's get out of here he gives us more we have 63 already says Ah I don't like it I don't like it why supposed to be excited to do my mitzvot Hashem says to the prophets if my mitv are heavy for you it's not my mitv if my Torah is heavy for you it's difficult for you it's not my Torah you're doing something wrong you're doing something wrong my MIT my T it's easy it's the best thing in the world it's the only reason the world exists which means as long as it's difficult for you you're not doing it in its purest form we have work to do so now we leave Val and the camp it's a very it's millions and millions of people hasem says it has to have order has to have a certain order of this camp and nice K about this the order that they have it says here in chapter 10 verse translation they journeyed for the first time at the bidding of through Moses soem told him to leave they left the banner meaning the flag of the camp of the children of Judah journeyed first meaning that Judah the tribe of Judah was leading we going to get into reason why in a second according to their Legions and over its Legion was the leader of the Judah tribe in that generation was n which we're going to in a second why he was it over the leader over the Legion of the tribe of the children of isak which is means the ones following it after it was the tribe of isar and a leader of that tribe was netanel Son Of Z and over the lead over the Legion of the tribe of zevulun which is the next tribe was elav son of helon so here you have three tribes three tribes leading us you have tribe of Judah tribe of isar tribe of zun the question here why did Hashem pick these tribes in this specific order and what we learn about them in the Torah so Judah why did what was Judah known for right that was a symbol but the main recognition that Judah got is in the book of uh huh from situation with from The Book of Genesis was the situation that happened the story that happened with Tamar where technically Juda was in a position of power and he had two choices one admit the truth and be embarrassed in front of his entire people that he's the one that impregnated the woman that he was about to burn or say nothing get no embarrassment and if anything get more cavod and burner and no one would ever say anything because she herself said she's not going to say anything she said who do these belong to when she showed them the ring she showed him the stick and she showed him the underwear she didn't say hey by the way you're the guy that got me in here no said who do these belong to meaning she was giving him a choice you have a choice you could either admit that it's your children you're the reason I'm pregnant or don't say anything and I will burn this is what she's saying I will burn in fire before I embarrass you this is where K gets us in the he says it's better to burn in a fire than to ever embarrass someone in public embarrassing somebody in public today is like a everyday sport why do people like One politician over another oh he's the one that makes fun of everyone I read an article a quick article today it said some uh Jewish judge I forgot his name he got a show on TV two years ago why because he's very good at embarrassing people he's very funny at embarrassing people he's a judge according to the T he has no so it's better somebody tell him before his show gets too big but this is the Warped mentality we have in our generation Hashem says you're better off burning in fire than embarrassing someone today we get Applause and shows on television because we are making fun of people it's good to get embarrassed get embarrassed very good is it why is it very good because all of the all of the that that person that embarrassed you has he gives them to you so whatever mitv he had he give them to you you do close the thing the and all your are forgiven depends what sins they are depends what if youb it's not exactly uh get out of jail free card but either way it's a it's definitely a it's a very big form of which means a uh um sacrifice for your sins and uh yeah it does it does repent some of your sins thank you um so now DAV says when they were trying to embarrass him about B they say hey do you know what the laws are of is says yes and I also know that uh the uh someone that embarrassed somebody else's in public also has no share of the world to come they all quiet down and people like to make fun they don't realize what's what's the significance of it so yudah had this Choice says no um I don't care about my own cavod this is my children I did it she's a righteous woman she's she's righteous for me many I'll admit in front of every everyone so yudah was forever known as truth emit that's why his name was actually a prophecy for his future o day which means actually admitted he admitted the truth so he gets the first seat first seat of the camp why because like we said aem's signature emit first thing you need to do you want to be righteous you have to be full of emit you have to speak AIT you have to live a real life don't be one of these fakers that tries to pretend to the world that you're one thing but in reality you're something else you know people pretend in all types of ways sometimes I used to have these guys that worked for me they would spend all of their money on a brand new car every dollar they make but they don't even have money to put in the gas but they tell you oh no looks I'm doing great I have this brand new Mercedes or this or that like I'm writing your check you don't have any more money I know how much you make but they're telling all their friends they have a brand new watch and a brand new car but no other money whatsoever why because they want to fit like the people on television on MTV Cribs fakers fakers why what for what who are these people that you going to fake yourself for why who cares if they like you don't like you if they what difference does it make what was what's the point why why you going to spend all this money in a car go buy yourself a house instead invest open a business I don't do something useful give you spend all your money on a car you can spend all your money on n on a watch have some people still live with their parents but they have a $40,000 watch why what are you who are you that you wearing a $40,000 watch if you wearing a $40,000 watch that usually should mean that you have at least $5 to $10 million on the bank without counting your Investments $40,000 watch today every second guy has it and if they don't have it what do they do they buy the fake one they spend $500 on a fake one so people think they have a $40,000 watch for Who Who Are You faking it for for what why you have to impress everyone who are these people that you're impressing why do you care so much what people think and that's the thing is people spend so much time being fake they forget about the truth same thing unfortunately happens with religion sometimes you go to besset and you see people you know they see the they kiss it oh they act like the Torah is like it's Mount sa it's Shabbat nothing happened I mean it's the holiest day of the year Shabbat but it's an ordinary Shabbat nothing changed the guy is kissing the Tor like it's amazing an hour after the hour later is over two hours later is over the guy goes to the parking lot drives home what's the show for y you should stop kissing the to and start reading it listen to what it says what's the show for they act like and they do all these moves the prayers for what for what stop with the show stop with the fakeness or sometimes you have people you go to their house they have a library of books library of books they have every book known to man The everything they have literally 15 $20,000 worth of books you ask the guy by the way um you have which is one of the smallest in yeah yeah yeah sure sure he looks he doesn't even know where it is he has so many books finally finds it oh yeah yeah here it is here it is yeah yeah okay I wanted to see do you know where it was talking about and how hasem was upset after mosu died why was he upset there was no one El no one else left to rebuke the nation oh no no I don't I don't remember so you open thear and you see it's brand new nothing it's never been opened it still makes that sound still makes the sound like it's never been open just came out of the what what do you have all these books for crisp still crisp nothing happened okay so fine okay maybe you didn't get to it so you get the different you go to you go to you go to k same thing go is still in the plastic you know it's like these you know these old traditional uh Italians and also some Israelis do it too they have the sofas with still with the plastic on it I never understood that what's the point my grandmother God bless her used to do it uh but okay fine she want to protect the sofa what are you protecting you have a book read it what do you have $20,000 worth of book you're not going to read one of them read something and that's one of the things it's also you have to understand it's a big yet sometimes for people to get books because they want to show like they know more than what they do and they end up going into debt they go they B buy it with the credit card they go into debt and they can't pay it back so instead of it being a mitvah that they brought a seph t or being aah that they read the seph T it becomes a sin what sin gazel they stole they can't pay they can't pay the money anymore so your mitvah turn into a so at least give yourself some chance and read the book For Heaven's Sake read the book maybe has is going to send you P to pay for it and that's that's what happens when we're not full ofit we're not full of Truth you have no chance of being a leader you have no chance of being connected to hm at the highest level that's what B so that was first level but in B it also mentions the name of the leader like it does with the others but this specific one is my personal favorite because he actually saved am was the leader of the tribe of Judah why would e the one that was chosen because when we got to yamu we got to yamu we got to the Sea of reads the nation of Israel was confused even though we saw miracles in Egypt hasem destroyed the biggest civilization in history and turned the master into the slave the Jews all the the Israelites at that point were slaves all of a sudden the Egyptians are begging for them to leave and they given them as much gold as they could possibly hold please leave take everything we have we left very rich but when we got despite the Miracles despite getting everything we needed we get to yam we're scared where do we go where do we go we don't hear any answers so now we look back we see the Egyptians they running after us so one end we have the Sea of reeds the ocean and then next the other end we have the Egyptians wanted to kill us am say forgot that there's a God apparently cuz they got scared so some of them said you know what let's just go fight we don't have any weapons we're going to die but at least we'll die fighting the other part said no no let's just become slaves again everyone was confused except amav the son of amav no if Hashem made all those miracles for us and he brought us here there has to be a reason he didn't bring us here to kill us he want to kill us he would have just left us there or just killed us with the 80% of the Jews that got killed in in uh or the Israelites that were killed in the plague of Darkness plague of Darkness was three days those three days at least 80% of isra were killed by who by hasem why did he do it during the play of Darkness because he specifically did not want the Egyptians to see that he's killing both the Israelites and also the Egyptians he didn't want them to think it's a coincidence or everyone's getting punished but also one of the prophecies so you know one of the Prophecies of the end of days is going to be Darkness but this time for 15 days not three now if 80% of Naya were killed in the plague of darkness and many many of the Egyptians in those three days this gives us a little bit of perspective of how serious Hashem is about us having a last chance of doing chuva he's not kidding I promise you there's not one place in the entire toah makes a joke not one he's not kidding there's actually even a mid if you saw some of my previous it says no no no it wasn't 80% it wasn't one out of five that survived meaning four out of five didn't survive it was one out of 500,000 survived meaning only two out of every million Israelites actually became Jews survived 999,9 198 died in MIT whether it's 80% or 99.8% either the way we know he's not kidding so now he's telling us something if the plague of Darkness at the end of time is going to be 15 days the entire world gets affected there obviously many people whoever doesn't do CH doesn't have a chance whether they're non-jews or Jews and that's why Shem is giving some serious room for this to happen and that's why I keep telling everyone if you love somebody if you care about them even if if you just know them to somebody else and you know that you can save them or connect to them help them send them a CD send them a link get them connected to hm one way or another do kiru five minutes a day five minutes you could do more do more five minutes a day save Souls we don't have that much more time whether it's five 5 hours or 5 years or 50 years we don't know all we know is that it's definitely within our generation it's definitely very very soon and Hashem is not going to say oh you know what I like this guy let me put him in the same place as M even though he didn't keep Shabbat he not going to say that so knew this but also knew that did have a problem the fact that we got to the Sea of reads was good but when mosenu started screaming to Hashem Hashem said M what are you screaming to me for move forward what do you mean move forward into the ocean kazal says what are you screaming to me forem is saying I can't help you why can't I help you you used up all of your all of your that you had whatever had in they still wore Jewish clothes they still spoke Hebrew they still had their Hebrew names those three things are the only thing we got right those three things got you here destroyed Egypt got you to the Sea of reeds but at this point the angel every nation has an angel the angel of Egypt came to me he says listen it's not fair God you're going to split the ocean and you're going to drown my Egyptians but save your uh Israelites why I know my Egyptians are worshiping Idols the angel says these worship idols and these worship idols just a week ago they worshiping idols and hasem says you're right that's called a m prosecutor against you so got the point mosu heard it says he can't do it so what says when hasem said move forward what he's really meaning to say to us is that don't tell me you believe in me show me you believe show me you believe in me and that's what didon started walking into the ocean saying I believe in Hashem Hashem is going to save us all the way till the point he started swallowing water because the water passed his nose and at that point hasem split the ocean just like he promised but why because of showing so this is showing us Second Step first you have to be is then you have to show you have a show you have don't be one of these people who says no no no I believe in God I believe in God but you work till 11:00 at night every single day and you never have time to learn toah oh I believe in hasm I believe in AEM butom guy drives on Shabbat or works on Shabbat or goes to the casino that's not a Believer it's not a Believer if the show we believe we believe we have to be like got to show our belief that's step number two after that it mentions two of the next tribes and why are these two tribes specifically mentioned here first and noten which was older than them or Shimon which was also older than them why is telling you cuz here I'm telling you what's important to me first thing emit second thing Isa is why you get tests in life if you're getting tests that means hasm wants to build youra you don't have enough third thing is tor you can't have without T that's what was about the that's the those are the ones that day and night that's what they did learn Tor the entire standing on Tora when gave the blessing he gave the blessing together to and gave before why before learn paid for it they had a deal is had a deal says listen I'm a merchant I'm big businessman I'm going to learn to I have to learn T everywh no there's no such thing as not learning tah you want to be righteous withm you have to learn Tor because I can't learn as much Tor as I want to so this is what I'm going to do I'll pay for both of us whatever you need I'm paying for it and we share the MIT so actually when y init in Genesis when he gave the blessings he actually gave the blessings to Z before he says without Z without the money without is would have a hard time studying comfortably especially when you're studying literally 24 hours a day in those days they had different powers than we do Kaz says that he actually literally studied day and night like he never slept power of T supersedes nature but the point is that he would have never been able to study to that extent without having food without feeding his children without having a house you know there's a few things that you need you need a house you need a wife you need nice things that's that's kazal tells us there's these three things are necessary for you to have yes where you're concentrating to learn T someone that's starving hasn't eat in two days it's very difficult for them unless they're at a very very high level already very hard for them to learn T even if they are at a high level when you're hungry you're hungry when you're you hear your kids crying cuz they haven't eaten all day it's impossible for you to learn Tor you're not even allowed to learn T at that point you have to go get them food so yob blessed before is he said without you is wouldn't have gotten to the level that he did but here we see that is comes first apparently you know the generation is not as big but nonetheless he says listen first I need you to be then I need you to show me the sh by being having then I need you to know that Torah comes first before anything else after that I'll give you money after that you'll have zun these are the four simple steps of being connected with hem but now since we're talking about money one of of the major midot that is a very very big problem in throughout all of the generations but it seems like particularly today at least that's for my opinion um is the mid the the character trait the awful character trait of being stingy being cheap the problem with being cheap is not necessarily that hem needs your money as hem says to the prophet all of the money all of the silver and all of the gold is mine you doesn't need your money so why is it upsetting to Hashem so much that we're cheap because Hashem is telling you that when you're cheap that means you don't have any am you you don't believe that I'm going to give you more so instead of donating $500 you donate $50 you took off a zero when it came to buy a new car you told the guy no no Shalom do me a favor the $3,000 navigation system add that too you didn't have a problem adding $3,000 navigation system but when it came to giving no no $100 M come on can you have one for 5050 is it a dollar for a CD you have ones for 50 cents okay you know what let me see take out you know sometimes you see this you take out and start counting Counting you're thinking the guy's going to give you like a w of man finally they find the the $5 bill like oh here I'll get five thanks Leah is what hasm is telling us it's all my money it's all my money why you cheap why are you cheap are yourself you're not cheap un saing my children you're cheap why am I giving you all this money for what and this is a promise so we need to learn a little bit about how hasem thinks about stinginess so they said in the prophet Hagi chapter 2 verse 8 is where he says mine is the silver and mine is the gold the word of hasem Master of legance here K explain to us that once a person actually believes this say in the verse you could say it all day could become your Mantra still not going to change believing it is something different believing it just like you believe that hm is watching everything you actually believe that comes from sh when you get to a level of believing that all from sh number one you'll never be cheap in your life number two you'll be a lot more generous when it comes to which means you'll get a lot more number three you'll never waste your money it's not yours to waste it's okay to live nice life have a big house have a nice car no one's telling you that you're not allowed to have nice things rebi one of the holiest people that ever lived was very very wealthy he did say at the end of his life that he didn't enjoy even one1 doar and all of his money was for the public but nonetheless he had a lot of big things it's not a sin if hasem is giving you he's giving you but what are you doing with it if you're one of these people that has five cars in a garage and one driver that's a problem that's a problem if you one of these people that has a $3 million house but you just gave the most recent kiru Mission $30 or $300 that's a problem Hashem didn't give you the $3 million for you to buy a $3 million house and $30 or $300 for kiru he gave you the money for you to do something more significant I'll give you even more if you believe in what Hashem said to the prophet it's never going to be a problem and for that you'll get even more why because you say it's mine if you use the 100% that I'm giving you the right way I'll give you more you have something called M the tithe 10% supposed to go for and also is separate from it but 10% is M he says hm is telling you listen I'm giving you 100% give me back 10 change if you give me back 10 change I promise you I'll make you rich in this life will become rich 10 you get rich you get rich also 20 is also is is even is even even better um it's even better but nonetheless we're commanded to do 10 andem says specific verse in job and a few other places if you believe is never a problem you're not waiting until the end of the year to see how much you made all year before you give my sale as soon as you get a check deposit in the bank you take out the 10% immediately cuz you already know what your expenses are and you give the car right away you're not waiting for the end of the month the end of the year the end of the fiscal year the end of the calendar year the end of the Court nothing you get the money you know hashem's going to give you more CU it's his anyway when you're when you believe this verse there's no problem as soon as you get money you get $20 $2 goes into the K you get $100 $10 goes K it's that's as simple as it gets male technically is off of the net income not the gross meaning that if you have let's say you make $1,000 for the month and you have you know let's say $700 in expenses then that means you only have $300 of net profit so the 10% has to come from the $300 not from the, so that means it's $30 you'd have to give from my sale not $100 but nonetheless once you know your expenses everyone knows their basic expenses every knows where they stand I don't think everyone has a uh volatile lifestyle one month you have $5,000 expenses and next month it's $30 everyone knows basically where they stand if you believe this verse what's the problem unfortunately when people don't believe this verse it's there's plenty of stories of people that are cheap my father used to say this joke he says something people are so cheap they're afraid to go to the bathroom because then they have to buy food again you know God bless him he has he has these one liners unbelievable so the uh EV lived a few hundred years ago most you'll see his uh commentary on it unfortunately Eva didn't have any Fortune didn't have any any luck with money he actually had such bad luck with money that he um said to he would say to his students he made a song about he says if I started a hat store people would be born without heads if I started an umbrella shop it would stop raining he had complete no luck whatsoever with money so uh one time he went to this new community and this community had a Minag you know had a that uh everyone would take turns of Hosting guests no different guests now hosting guests for Shabbat or guests in general it's not like people today for example think that if you just host your friends that's the Mitzvah the real Mitzvah is hosting someone that doesn't have an option the homeless guy the guy from out of town that doesn't have any way place to go that's the Mitzvah it's not just hosting your guest so everyone could show off their house who has better food who have a nicer house that's not the Mitzvah the Mitzvah the real Mitzvah is hosting strangers so now Evan Isel came into this town and it happened to be that the guy that was supposed to host them was very very rich and very very cheap now he didn't know that it was his turn so he went to the market and he says you know what this time I'm going to get it for myself I'm going to get the biggest fish they have and he went he bought this giant fish and he got and he's got he was on the way home and soon as he's on the way home he's runs into his Rabbi hike for the I'm on the way on the way he goes no no want to remind you today is your turn to host the guest for Shabbat he goes oh immediately turned back to the supermarket and he's like listen you have any sardines anything small anything it's like yeah these six old ones if you want them free go hey give me those give me those he takes those he runs to the house tells wife goes listen these six sardines it's what you give the guests hopefully he's full after he eats those six we send them home then we eat this fish I eat his fish so was not politically correct and as you will notice no sage in the world was ever politically correct ever no no major sadik was ever politically correct it's politically correct is complete poison and against the Torah Hashem is not politically correct we're not to be politically correct you have to tell people the truth as it is obviously you have to do things in a nice way but not to tell someone because you don't want to hurt their feelings when it's going to save their life you're not allowed so anyway Evan EA goes to he's in his house and he sees that no one's eating except he's got these six little ugly fish in front of him and so he gets the point so he says okay so he takes one of the fish and goes mhm M okay puts it down takes another one mhm H he does this for all six of them so the guy is looking at what is this guy doing what you talk to fish they're dead goes oh yeah when you learn Torah you can talk to fish really what they say goes no I just wanted to ask them what happened in MIT what happened in Egypt where were they so I asked the first one he said no no ask my brother so I asked the second one he said no no ask my brother and then at the end after I asked all six of them they said you know what about it we're too young to remember Egypt but our big brother in the kitchen he knows so bring him out so he says bring the big brother out let me ask him a question so evanel knew how to uh how to deal with things but uh sometimes it's a uh someone Wast their life being stingy it's um what's the benefit of having auna especially when it comes to money uh RAB ysim zeld lived about seven years ago made sadik major wouldn't leave his house just constantly learned to all day and uh one day his wife tells him listen um I know you're learning but I'm sorry to bother you but we don't have any food for Shabbat and the uh the guy at the story is not selling us anything on credit anymore so RAB says oh if that's the case fine closes the book I'll go get the money the ran says you know how to work what are you going to do no no no I'm just going to go get the money she from where where you going to get the money he goes from hasem was not what do you mean from where where do you get money from hasem nobody needs simple just okay fine go he leaves the house and as soon as he leave the house you didn't notice that one of his students was about to you know visit him and a student saw the r leaving the house for the first time and you know heaven knows how long so he says I'm going to follow the r where does he goar says one of the most important things to do as far as uh in in in in your life is connect yourself to a sadik why because you're going to end up learning more from their actions than even their Torah if they're a sadik if they just know how to give you verses but they're not righteous people that you're not even allowed to learn the T the t is not considered to it's considered to to means disgusting to hem so learning things by heart like it's a history book is not is not considered to actually living it is more important so anyway the uh student is following him and he's the one that ends up telling the story he sees the r walking and praying to Hashem 1 minute 2 minutes 5 minutes after 10 minutes he sees the r praying to Hashem then looking down picking something from the floor and turning back around going back home as soon as he got to the house he goes you have to tell me what happened what did you do what why did you go says oh I went to get money goes what do you mean you went to get money goes my wife needed money so I went to Hashem to get money and the student is telling us said this was him to him what he was telling us which to all of us here it's completely unnatural to him with his level ofuna it was completely normal he didn't understand why anyone thought it was a big deal that's amuna that's when you know that Leah when hasem said it he really meant it and he can give it to you in any way and you live that way to him it's naturalash natural in seph Isaiah Isaiah 26 chapter verse 4 it says trust in hem forever for in God hem is the strength of the worlds soem is telling you to get to a point of am you have to understand I am in control of everything everything there's nothing that I don't see there's nothing that I don't do there's nothing I don't pay attention to especially when it comes to your P you don't need to work 20 hours a day you can work normal hours you don't need to worry whether you're going to eat or not just do what I say you'll be fine get to a point of connect to me to Hashem make that your priority in life the whole world is yours if you want it's all mine anyway when we live that way when we live that in with a mindset that Hashem really has the strength and ability to do anything then the story of Rabbi zanfeld can become our story B now in the book of habakuk chapter 2:4 is a very very famous verse especially for Israelis because they uh if they're not religious they changed what the verse is and they say which means man with his belief with his uh faith will live but the verse doesn't say that it says now the page 24 says that this specific verse a righteous person through his his belief through his faith will live can explain the entire Torah is puts the entire Torah in a short form how so so long as you believe that you made that you made the money if you made the money you went to work you made money then in essence everything you'll do will be based on your decisions and it won't be a problem for you to do things to use that money against theem because you made the money if you made the money you're in control if you're in control using it for strippers using it for overdosing on drugs using it to support terrorism using it to go to gate clubs using it for uh God only knows how many sins there are in this world becomes normal using a casino why not I made the money it's my money everybody says that every day it's my money what do you want my money for it's my money it's my money my mine it's mine mine like one of those cartoons mine I made the money as long as you think that as long as that's your amuna it'll be no problem for you to use it against the one that actually gave it to you if that's your but is saying to you if you realize that Hashem gave you the money and it's his money you will never dare use it against him you'll never dare use his money to go play in a casino you'll never dare use his money to make any sins it's his money imagine me coming to your house and start taking stuff what are you doing no no it's I just want it CU yeah but it's mine no but I just want it I want to start smashing things I won't survive in your house for too long probably send me to a mental institution if not jail after the mental institution this is what we do when we use aem's money to go against him it's going against the entire Tor that's what is saying that's what the is saying your perspective if it's meaning the is the person made the money no problem sinning against theem if it's you won't you will never dare do it after this when we understand that it's important for us to have Torah and obviously use our money wisely and in order to use our money wisely we have to go back to step one which is which is you know which is obviously being a and having all of it is connected it's one web that's all connected in order to have one piece you have to have the other the center piece for all of it is Tora but you can't do one without the other you can't have without T you can't be if you have no Tor because T is the definition of a and you're not going to use your money wisely without having the other three pieces without having a huh definitely not going to use it you're going you give $5 instead of $500 cuz you're going to think that hem is limited without having to you going to say no no let me just give $500 to the Red Cross instead of the that are pretty much making this world go around you give it to the Red Cross that has a surplus of a billion and a half dollars a year and 85 cents out of every 10 out of every dollar go to the CEO and the executives so you're going to give it to them instead of give it to a that the only reason this world exists because he learns T all day so when you don't have tah there's no way you're going to make the right decision it's impossible so now we have the instruction set after this we have a small section of mosenu invites Jethro which in this par is called hobab or in Hebrew which is a uh one of the other one of the seven names that had and the reason why he was called is because it comes from the word kiv which is how much he like Torah he love Torah so M says come with us come with us we're you know we're leaving Mount Si we're going to the land that Hashem promised us come with us says no he said to him I shall not go only to my land and my family shall I go so how could it be one hand he has one of his names he loves toah another and he wants to go to a place of idol worship how could it be K says went to do K says I can't I know the truth now I've been with you for the last year I've seen Hashem at work I've seen the only real God there ever is and N was a professional at all idol worship he was the head guy he says now I know who's the real God I can't keep this information to myself it's not right page 17 I think it says someone that learns T without an intention to teach it's like someone who doesn't have a God that's how bad learn Tor you're obligated to learn T but you have no intention whatsoever to ever teach anyone not your wife not your children not your friends no one you're going to keep all that knowledge to yourself oh no you're not learn to you have no you're Idol worshipper you have no God says you're obligated to teach toah obligated not everyone has to give lectures but you have to teach somebody you have to teach your wife cuz she doesn't learn she doesn't go to call all day how she going to teach the kids you have to teach your children you can't go to work 20 hours a day and not have time for your kids you have to teach kids T if you have the ability to speak maybe give a sh once a week to the guys at the or maybe even just between no one's speaking you have 5 10 minutes with the guys at the B say a few words you see a guy finally show up to tell him listen by the way it says in beginning of according to not considered Jewish and on top of that he's considered a beast in Judaism and on top of that when they would give him skila which is the worst punishment in Judaism the kazal the sages call it they did him a favor they did him a favor for killing him with the worst possible death which is throwing him from a two-story building and if he didn't die they throw a boulder on him and if he didn't die everyone is prepared to throw rocks on him to make sure that eventually he died and that was doing him a favor that's what kazal says why is it a favor at least he won't be AABB anymore that's how big it is so you learn that and you don't share with the you have no God that's what the says not loud have to tell how do I know this rest of the the people took to seeking complaints left Mount Si they left the Holiness what happens when you leave holiness is stronger okay you're holy at your house you learned Tora you came to eventually you're going to leave you have a choice am I going to the pub or am I going home go home maybe read something go to sleep go to the pub what's going to happen there why yet is waiting for you over there we left Mount sa but they left Mount SA they're in a desert get attacks who is he attack it attacks the the ones that were fake converts they converted because not because of the Torah because they didn't want to stay in Egypt they thought everybody's going to die they want to say oh you know what you have a God that's made Miracles okay we'll join you and we made a mistake of accepting them but nonetheless they caused all the trouble throughout all of the 40 years we were in a desert until today we're suffering from the a of so the of started convincing some people complain against hem complain against hem look we're in a desert how we going to eat yes you're getting the man but who wants man maybe we should get some chicken you know we were in Egypt remember when in Egypt they gave us watermelon they gave us chicken they gave who gave you we slaves but they convinced him they gave him this he start complaining against Hashem says it was evil in the ears of Hashem and Hashem heard and his wrath flared and a fire of hem burned against them and it consumed at the edge of the camp now I'm assuming some of you guys have learned par sh before you've learned this par did you ever learn that the people in this par a bunch of them got burned bunch of people Hashem punished us and a bunch of people got burned most likely not not only those people get burned but everyone that got burned who's the first one that got burned the leaders the leaders got burned the ones that were leading the tribes they got burned first now most people don't even know we got burned because it's not it's not nice to talk about like I remember I had a uh we're talking we're learning some Tor and this guy mean doesn't keep anything and I tell him listen you know I try to give him some better Direction in life he go no but I don't remember this in the said oh you don't remember okay I said this week's par just you know this is sh the day after Shabbat actually no same day same day was M Shabbat said today we read remember yes you remember you you remember hearing yes I said how many times you read in your life he goes a lot of times said at least 20 goes at least 20 I said to him you remember there was punishments he goes yeah I remember those punishments I remember do you remember what the punishments were he goes no I don't remember what the punishments were you remember the fifth level of punishment he says I know there was a bunch of punishments I said you remember the punishment that hasm said that if you don't do chuva you're going to get after all the first four punishments if you still don't do chuva you still treat him with casualness treat with casualness you pick and choose what remember that part go yeah something like that you remember what he said no oh he said you're going to get to such a level of starvation to going to have to eat your children do you remember that part he go it said that yeah let me show you the book literal translation not not not midash this what it says in the Torah that's what it says in the Torah and happened when did it happen bet mikdash bet mikdash first bet mikdash we were surrounded by the enemy Nations for three years no one went in no one went out that means no food coming in we got the starvation eventually the mothers had to cook their children's not kidding why doesn't he know it he read it 20 times you could read it a thousand times when you don't understand KES you don't understand the holy language all you're doing is making sounds you don't know what it means once in a while you understand the word saidu oh I knowu means they said I understand something about meat I don't know but Z I know what that means and so you understand here and there what it means conclusion you have no idea what's going on this is why I keep telling everyone read it in a language you understand also that's why it's an you have to read the Torah each week the par twice you have to read the actual par itself Ines and once with commentary why with commentary because the only way you're going to understand it is with commentary you start trying to translate that based out of your own rationale you're going to start a new religion within a week why do you think Christianity started where do you think Islam started they have no idea what's going on they completely ignored and rejected the oral Torah which means they rejected commentary they rejected they rejected kazal reject kazal reject go make something else something completely different you're not going to understand it without commentary your brain doesn't work that way doesn't even the sages read it with commentary sages people Yash MOS Feinstein all the people that mentioned you in the stories they read it with commentary so you b CH for six years you're going to read without commentary that's the thing so he didn't know once he knew the curses changed a little bit became came closer to home once he knew the Torah it's a little different now it's not the same nice Torah I thought for the last 20 years okay now we know now you can make a decision and educated decision same thing we have in this Paras Hashem didn't punish the entire nation he punished the leaders punished all the leaders the nation complained the leaders didn't rebuke them didn't tell have some Hashem brought us all the way here what to kill us why he's not giving us food from sham every day you complaining about chicken you have millions of sheep and millions of of cows right next to you go Slaughter one of them you're not you're not short on meat they have tons and tons of of cattle you want meat go eat meat what are you complaining to Hashem for Say Something nothing no if I tell them maybe they'll be offended so let them let them talk to God but they're not talking to God they're complaining to God you have no right to complain to God the fact that you alive you sure already thank God for that complaining to God so when the leaders did not rebuke they get the punishment this is why after Hashem killed all of them burned all of them this is in for anyone who wants to check chapter 11 verse number one not hard to find 111 after hasem burned all of them Moses complained Moses complaint Moses is saying to Hashem why have you done Evil by your servant why have I not found favor in your eyes that you plac the burden of this entire people upon me meaning you killed all the other people now everything is on my head I have no one to help me did I conceive this entire people did I give birth to it that you say to me carry them on your bosom they're not my kids they're your kids we dropping them all on my head I have no nobody to help me I alone cannot carry this entire nation for it is too heavy for me and if this is how you deal with me then kill me now if I have found favor in your eyes and let me not see my evil meaning I can't handle this people it's too much for me and I rather you kill me than me hurt your nation not kill me because I don't want to do what you say it's your holy people I can't I can't lead them I can't lead them by myself M I can't lead them by myself says I'm better off dying better off killing me than me doing by myself so hasem says okay okay hasem said to Moses gather to me 70 men from the Elders of Israel whom you know to be the Elders of the people so here almost done hasem is telling mosenu to build the the first s why the first Sedin because the the previous the previous ones that we had Hashem killed all of them and Hashem is specifically telling him gather me 70 men from the elders whom you know to be the elders what do you mean you know not the oldest people meaning you know they're righteous you know they're going to rebuke you know they're going to tell people the truth not fakers like we had we don't need the fakers fakers hm doesn't want doesn't want fakers we have enough fakers in the world and this is one of the things we have to put things into pers perspective says if someone knows of somebody else's sin knows they're sinning but doesn't want to tell them anything and you have the connection not that you just know this guy exists in the world you know M you know uh what's his name Zuckerberg Zuckerberg exists but you have no connection to him I'm not talking about that somebody connected to your family your friend somebody and you never take the opportunity to tell them the truth tell them Tor and you had the ability to do it but you don't do it says re says who wrote the mishna put together the Mish says you take on the sin that's how bad it is it's big a big responsibility to be Jewish that's why I keep telling people want to convert want to get into Judaism it's it's not easy being Jewish it's not easy being Jewish you have a big responsibility but if you take the responsibility you fulfill it you have endless reward it's worth it in today's generation we have too many people focusing on small things there was a story that was just published about Bill Gates Bill Gates decided that he wants to donate I think it was like a 100,000 chickens to a poor country you the 100,000 chickens or a million chickens to a poor country he said it's better to donate all these chickens than giving them computers cuz chickens at least they could eat maybe they could make eggs and make money that was his logic he picked who Bolivia the Bolivian president rejected the present even though they have 40% poverty in Bolivia he rejected the present so there's two SIDS to this coin and one end the Bolivian president has so much GAA so much arrogance he says no we're fine we don't need anybody's donations we'll manage sometimes somebody has so much pride even if you want to help him they don't want why cuz if you give him donation that means we're poor and Shalom the world thinks we're poor what do you mean public knowledge 40% of the country is below poverty or you think you're the only one that knows it it's public knowledge sometimes when somebody has so much pride they don't think reality that's his problem here on the other side Bill Gates Bill Gates made a mistake he picked the wrong country why cuz Bolivia happens to produce about 100 million chickens per year they have a lot of chickens they don't need your million chickens 100,000 chickens but this is what's happening in the world today a lot of people want to give AEM what he has a lot of so people what do they say oh let me donate to sud the hasem has millions of them up there let me donate to put a nice plaque in theet he has another hundred million of them up there also let me donate a few more that no one's going to read at theet okay he has a lot of those also everyone wants to give for what Hashem has a surplus of why don't you give him some Jews doesn't allow it someone has to have to have to have to give but from learning this that's how we beat it that's how we beat it the only way to beat the yet we said in the beginning of the sh it's Torah what's the sh it's not math it's not history it's Torah already he has millions and millions of people every week they donate they donate for for he has a million people donating a few because the old ones are not fashionable anymore he has those two butet and Brooklyn in every corner there's three how they fit three in every corner I don't know but there's three in every corner there's no the surplus of B give him some Jews support barely surviving $500 a month they get from a support the Tor itself we had one we had some money we got one written but if I knew what I know today never never and never would I put the money toward seph T you could the amount of money I spent on the on I could support you know 10 for a couple years few years but people no no everyone that has money they want to se T 50 $60,000 okay the has 30 of them they can't use 30 when they use 30 on on everyone runs around with the but reading it can't read 30 at most use three a week which means that your seph T at best we read once a year once a year you spend 60,000 100,000 200,000 onph once a year someone's going to read it instead of the that's learning from morning to night instead of the kiru that's saving Soul someone's going to send their kids to Yeshiva instead of the public school Hashem has a lot of those already we have to investigate and that's the main thing that I tell everyone everyone needs to understand it's not a nice thing to do it's an obligation it's mamash an obligation for every Jew to do kiru it's an obligation for every Jew to tell the truth because right now we learn from this Paras Hashem doesn't like fake rabbis he doesn't like fake people we learn from here fake rabbis the fake leaders they died first next thing after that happened mhu said I can't do it by myself I can't do it by myself that's why I tell people all the time listen RAB MRA has been doing this for 22 years I'm we're going to finish with this point he's been doing it for 22 years doing kiru he's helping people there's a couple of other good rabbis out there doing kiru but let's say 250,000 people did chuva in the last 20 years let's say 250,000 people from RAB mrai and a couple of other rabbis let's say 20 years a million people did Chua you still got 15 million more and that's just that's not consider That's not including the rest of the righteous people within the Nations not everyone's Wicked there's plenty of righteous people which means that even if you had 10 Rabbi misis it's still not enough 100 RAB m it's still not enough why cuz we have a lot of people we have a lot of work to do is saying I can't do it by myself everyone must take on kiru every day five minutes a day if you spend any time with people you can do kiru if you spend time on the internet you have a profile on Twitter Facebook Instagram WhatsApp I don't know countless other types of social media out there Take 5 minutes a day get a YouTube video or Torah anytime video is even better because there's no yet over there go to Torah anytime take one of the videos that you like you like this lecture different lecture take the clip and send it to people five minutes a day five minutes send it to people get them to discover the truth five minutes a day you could do more than five minutes do more than five minutes Tor if it's relevant to them yes if it's relevant to them sure the the seven laws of Noah if they're looking to the discover Judaism then yes but if they're if it's unsolicited completely you can just send them the seven laws of Noah but if they're looking to you know if they're in a process of converting you're allowed to give them everything either way focus on doing kiru at least 5 minutes a day at least five minutes a day you're on you're on the internet already take 24 hours take five minutes do kiru you're not on the internet fine you know you go to work you're in a public you go to a store you go buy cars you go uh buy Bagels you never know what's going to happen I had a uh guy that sold me a car a year year and a half ago year year and a half ago nice guy I talked to him find out okay he's not keeping so I'm in the process of buying a car but I don't really care about the car so I start talking about about Hashem I just got a call what was it uh Friday afternoon hey I just wanted to let you know I told my uh company that either they uh fire me or I don't work on Shabbat anymore and for the last couple of week two three weeks I've been keeping Shabbat the whole car was worth it just for this call just for this call for what how much time do they spend with them once people know the price they do it when mosenu complained to hasem I don't have anybody to help me hasm sent them help he sent them help you need help you need finances you need a z you need Miracles anything you need you spend some time telling people the truth you get whatever you want there's no question about it anything you want I always tell people you want to see miracles do K whether it's you need health you need money you need anything you need in life spend time worrying about hashem's children because it doesn't pay to be fake especially not a fake Rabbi so I honestly don't understand what Torah they're learning when they don't tell people the truth I don't understand what they're doing it doesn't pay to be fake Hashem is telling you specifically in this par and practically half the T that he hates them he hates fake people it doesn't pay to be fake all the money in the world is not worth to being fake for one minute to give you an example of a miracle of how significant K is to hasem I give you another real life story there's a lot more to this but we'll finish with this point because I think we've hit the core of what what we wanted to cover today I told you in the book of Jeremiah asem said if you do chuva you'll stand next to me meaning it's the first part of the verse you do cha always accept you but not accept you like a second rate citizen where ah yeah he's a b cha he's uh he's not a FR from birth like they call it religious since he was born oh no he's just a convert ah where from no hasem says you do chuva you convert you stand right next to me right next to me not next not in the second room right next to me next to me you'll stand I'll never even look at your past you do full chuva legit 100% no no half Shabbat no eating kosher only at home but you're eating tun at a diner that's not Kosher no 100% genuine you'll be next to me that's the first part second part of the verse says but if you help somebody do chv you'll be like my mouth asks what does it mean you'll be like my mouth Hashem responds I created the Heaven and the Earth and I can bring back the dead you'll you'll be able to do the same someone I know very very closely about a month ago took uh their 2-year-old kid to a doctor kid was born with water in their ear and the doctor said when he was born listen if it doesn't go away you're going to have to have a surgery sometimes it goes away though goes away naturally when they grow especially during the first couple of years but if not they going have to have a surgery I didn't know parents are very worried two years have passed they go to the doctor says I'm sorry to tell you kid's not developing the right way that's why took them longer to walk longer to develop very very cute kid by the way but uh the water's still there and you have to have a surgery new parents
