[Music] new guests and the uh the old ones that uh becoming famous on the internet now with the back and forth of the Pokemon uh uh discussion we had last week got some hits so this week is one of my personal favorite it's a uh it's a par that's talks about a lot of different issues but nonetheless it's about a special character in the Torah that we only wish we can have one today uh also this Sho we'll have uh for to Sarah um Lana and also Leana but SAR and also to and also and all of is so P continues the story that we had last week at the end of the Paras we had bam and balak's deal fall apart where uh bam was not able to deliver on the promise that he's going to curse but the fact that he was a prophet and had some type of connection to Hashem regardless of the fact that he was a very Wicked person he still had a connection with Hashem he also knew the ways of Hashem and anyone that spent a half a second learning about Hashem would know that one of the things that Hashem detests one of the things that Hashem cannot tolerate in any way shape or form is immodesty people that are not modest not modest with their clothing not modest with their behavior not modest with their life and unfortunately in today's world if you notice the major change that we've had over the last 30 or 40 years it's something completely unprecedented where up until about 40 years ago maybe 50 years ago both the Jews and the non-jews will be completely modest if you look at pictures of the 1930s and 40s of women going to the beach you'd see that those women are actually wearing gowns and and they're more modest than the biggest raban in the world and this is for G and for Jews today you're lucky if you find a woman that wears anything in the street so we have a major change and then people ask where is God where was God during the Holocaust where was God during all these problems why is there so much disease why is there so much problems why are there so many wars why does everybody hate am is why are there so many problems in my personal life why can't I get a job why don't have any money why can't I have kids why can't I have a z people ask people complain to Hashem non-stop anyone could try this for a day try one day without complaining to Hashem one day without complaining to hm about something without complaining in general because obviously if you're complaining you're complaining to hem try one day without complaining it's very very difficult now complaining if you have a real reason like when Amisa did not have water and they complained Hashem didn't punish him for complaining he didn't listen you need water what did he punish him for for not believing in him for questioning his Solutions that's the times that Hashem cannot tolerate now but had a reason if they didn't have any water or they didn't like the food or anything like that if you compare it to our generation in comparison to US they didn't even sin but in today's world people complain at the same time they're spitting AEM in a face unfortunately they're doing everything against him but they complain to him anyway so bam knew about this bam knew that hasem hates zma hates imod so he told balak listen my curses are not going to work they're turning into blessings you have one way to do it send all of your women and your you know the midianite women and the uh moabit women send them all to the camp of of Amis with their mini skirts and their tank tops and that'll do the job you don't have to worry about anything after that and that's exactly what he did and as soon as the women arrived the Jewish men failed failed miserably like we're still failing today and they made so many different sins in a short period of time that hasem decided to destroy the nation again if you notice over the last month and a half almost every single par Hashem almost destroyed a nation almost every single one of them one after another after another after another Hashem started already but in this Paras in this story we have something different something different happened in this story that's unlike anything else if you look at the story of the golden calf same with the golden calf idol worship worst thing in the world before Hashem punished everyone he actually made am the Levites deliver some of the punishment and he gave us a warning before we did it then he punished if you look at the situation that happened with the BET mikdash Hashem sent us prophets Prophet after Prophet after Prophet after Prophet to warn us do chuva do chuva do chuva they didn't want to do chuva then eventually destroyed the BET mikdash same thing with the second bet mikdash same thing with pretty much every single time and the entire Torah that we've had a punishment we got warning shots first hasem let us know before he punished us he told us to do chuva and we didn't do it then we got punished then we said I'm sorry and then we started all over again press control all delete like you do on a computer bunch of people died but we started again but here something different happened here we don't see a warning here you read in the ne the book by ra Pinas he says this is the only time in the entire Tora that hasem didn't warn us before he punished Us Saw sinning with immodesty they tolerating and accepting and welcoming and celebrating these immodest women on top of it they're not Jewish into marriage on top of it on top of it all when the women got them all hot and they uh ate together enjoyed together and everything was fine they said okay by the way if you want to be with me here you go here's uh my idol bow to it and then I'll do whatever you want in today's world a remote control is almost like an idol because people pray to the TV this is for a ccarter but nonetheless we went from what we thought was a small step what's the big deal listen Z the head of the Shimon tribe didn't think it's such a big deal listen MOS renu's wife is a convert so this guy this uh Cosby she also seems like a nice girl so what if she wants to be with me before we get married I want to you know try out try it out to see if I want it that's what people do say today this this crazy mentality coming from religious people I'm not even talking about just non-religious people I've actually heard this my own ears a religious person said yeah my R said or somebody said that uh if she's not Jewish and you're not married it's okay it's okay it's CU it's not you're not really going to get married anyway I'm surprised the ground didn't open up and swallow him like K because based on what he's saying there's a big mistake in the to there's no mistakes in the Torah but people have no idea people have no idea what Hashem thinks about into marriage what he thinks about wasting seed what he thinks about immodesty so he gave us this parasa he gave us this parasa to give us an exact description of what he thinks of it at the end of Bak it says Israel settled in theim this is a location and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab so we figured that Moses's wife converted so we're going to convert them also but before they convert let's try it out see if we can become friendly well Hashem didn't really think uh it's a good idea and immediately a plague started and thousands and thousands of people were dying in moments until Pinas the son of elazar the son of Aon the Coen saw this came to mosenu and all the all the sikim that were Leading the People says don't you know that when someone is going against AEM this way when there's into marriage when there's when someone is going with a non-jewish woman or non-jewish man in public don't you know that the AL you if someone that's zealous meaning someone that's a Kanai someone that's jealous for God and wants to protect God's name is allowed to kill that person in public Don't You Know M forgot this how could M forget an he got the Torah from hem how could he forget such an hasem made him forget it why did he make him forget it cuz he wanted all the to go to he wanted all he wanted Pinas to earn his name because Pinas was zealous not just for this mitvah for everything else and he temporarily made Moshe forget where he was even standing Moshe was just too busy crying seeing am is pretty much sign themselves a oneway ticket to get so Moshe told them the one that said the Ala is the one that's going to enforce it so Pinas took the spear and they thear says 10 Miracles happened in this next few minutes one of them was the fact that despite the fact that pinhas was walking around with a big spear inside the camp following Zim and Cosby hundred of 100,000 or 50,000 soldiers that he has didn't even pay attention nobody stopped him no one noticed that there's anything wrong here he's following them into the tent there're they're in the tent already committing the sin he takes the spear he stabs both of them knowing that in the next few seconds everyone's going to kill him he's not going in there thinking he's going to fight 50,000 people he's not going in there thinking oh you know what at least I'm going to go to ganeden he's not even thinking he's going to anything he's just thinking someone is VI in the name of hem in public I have to defend aem's name now the page 36 B it says it talks about this story it talks about pinhas and it actually uses Pinas as a critical figure to teach us what does for for mean public a public sin mean because we've said this in previous lectures but it's always good to remind people of this because it's a big confusion about this in the in the Tor it says 12 places in the Tor that someone violate Shabbat meaning the guy that violates Shabbat is cuts his life short if the sun was still around it would actually kill him on the spot SP has no share of the world to come and according to Al of of Orthodox Judaism of the only type of Judaism that's authentic he's not considered Jewish his Judaism is on suspension if he does I mean if he does chuva then his Judaism goes back in but as long as he violates Shabbat is Judaism is on suspension you could look at uh from the rambam you could look at any major book The Written T oral Tor Z anywh you look at you look at and the uh critical mistake people are making today of violating Shabbat and you'll see that it says in every place that some a Jew that violates Shabbat is not considered Jewish this is the one thing that bothers everyone tell somebody listen you're cutting your life short like yeah listen I have an uncle he's violated every Shabbat for the last 8 years and he's still living like this guy amn this heretic from Israel that made the uh you know interview of R mizi and a few other rabbis and he's like listen I'm 60 something years old I violated every single Shabbat I'm still alive so that argument doesn't count him he doesn't realize what's coming but it's okay but if he doesn't according to the Tora is G will never end ever it's considered a me and but anyway people that make this mistake they lose their share of the world to come people don't really care about share of the world to come like yeah who who went there and came back that's what he said in who went there and came back so why should I care about something that I don't even know if it exists or not but then when you tell them Listen by the way you're not considered Jewish that hurts that hurts what do you mean I'm not considered Jewish my mom is Jewish I have a passport or a a identification card from Israel says I'm Jewish I had a bar mitv did six times my in my whole life I went to messet at least three times last year I'm a Jewish what do you mean I'm not Jewish according to not considered Jewish Judaism is on suspension but it's not like a non-jew that's what people say okay you know what fine so if I'm considered not Jewish then that means I don't have to keep Shabbat anymore cuz non-jews are not even allowed to keep Shabbat if you're not Jewish if you're a nohide you're not allowed to keep Shabbat ra ra R says a a non-jew that keep Shabbat 100% they have to give him a death penalty why why does the rambam says this say this and the rambam didn't come up with this out of his own logic this is pure Torah from Mount sa why did the ram say say this he says because even though hasem made the Torah public to everyone everyone could read the written Torah he specifically gave Shabbat and even though theim are allowed to rest on Shabbat they're not allowed to keep it the same way that the Jews are meaning they're not allowed to restrict themselves from the 39 me the 39 things that we use to build the bet mikdash we're not allowed to do them on Shabbat why are we not allowed to do the 39 things that we use why what's the connection between building the BET mikdash and Shabbat hasem is telling you that to build my house on earth obviously is most important thing in the world except one thing there's only one more thing that's more important than bet mikdash what is it Shabbat so even my own house you're not allowed to build build on Shabbat because all the things they used and did to build my house you're not allowed to do the man Shabbat so even my own house you're not allowed to build on Shabbat so if you're not allowed to build aem's house on Shabbat what makes anyone think you're allowed to drive to B on Shabbat or allowed to go to the beach on Shabbat or allowed to cook something on Shabbat or smoke a cigarette on Shabbat or do a million and a half things that people do every day play with your phone on Shabbat you're not allowed to build aem's house on Shabbat why would you be able to check your Facebook account on chabbat orever really if you unless you're doing kiru there's no reason for anyone to be on Facebook unless you're trying to reach people to do K to help them do Chua there's no reason to be on on on social media at all it's all sins never like Facebook but nonetheless Hashem specifically told us Shabbat is very is a big deal and a non-jew that keeps Shabbat is violating Torah how so because the rambam says the Jews are obligated to keep Shabbat because hem said so the non-jews are allowed to rest on Shabbat but they're not allowed to keep the 39 restrictions because number one they did not build they were not commanded to build a b mikdash and number two if they start keeping the laws of Shabbat and not the rest of the mitv that means that they're creating a new religion and you're not allowed to create a new religion not allowed Christianity Islam all this other nonsense that's in the world not allowed to create these things so ra someone asked the rambam why did theem allow Christianity and ISL Islam to come to the world with all the suffering that it brought am is people think that the Muslims are the ones that uh torture the Jews if they just look at the history of Christianity and Catholicism against the Jews there's no one that's worse than them but either way the Book of Daniel Book of Daniel Prophet Daniel he uh gave the um interpretation of the dream of the king of what's going to happen at the end of time and the Prophet Daniel says that the Muslims will be the ones that get the most punishment not the Christians even though technically the Christians and the Catholics throughout history have actually been uh worse against uh the Jews now towards the at the end of times they're not at least most of them are not but the Muslims are using aem's name to uh to go against his chosen people and they're going to get the most amount of punishment but nonetheless they asked the rambam why did Hashem allow these two religions to come to the world and the ramam says that because it teaches them about monotheism teaches them about having a single God now Muslims or Islam is not considered idol worship they technically believe in Allah which they Define as the same God as the god of Israel the fact that they use a a book that's considered cons complete heresy and nonsense is a different story and the fact that they are violating the name of hem by going against am is is a different story the fact that there's a mistake in practically every single page out of the 9,000 different versions of the Quran that there is out there because each one has a different spelling of different words different sentences different this there's 9,000 different versions of the Quran says public knowledge you go to we Wikipedia and you can find this information and no one's caught on to it apparently but nonetheless it's a mistake but it's still not idol worship Christianity on the other hand since Christianity and Catholicism are based on a false book called the New Testament and the New Testament it humanizes God which is a violation of the 13 principles of Faith saying that God became a human being then it also divides God into three which is outright idol worship God is not three God has specific verses in the Tor as a matter of fact in last week's par Hashem is telling us that he's not a man he doesn't change his mind in chapter 23: 19 Bak Hashem is telling all of these Christians and all of these Catholics and anyone that thinks AEM became a man whether they're Hindu or Buddhist or whatever other nonsense religion in the world he specifically telling you this is not possible God is not a man that he should be deceitful nor a son of man that he should relent what he say and not do or speak and not confirm he's clearly telling you he's not a man he doesn't changed his mind he's not the son of man he can't come from this Virgin Mary or virgin anything he was here before us he's here now he's always going to be here it's his existence has no dependence whatsoever on us he's above and beyond time he's not going to change his mind he doesn't say something and then decide to do something else according to the New Testament this verse is a problem because it completely contradicts their entire New Testament so the New Testament is considered by most opinions as complete idol worship but the reality of it is that most Christians and Catholics if not all of them don't consider themselves Idol worshippers they consider themselves believing in God the same God of Israel but they just believe there's a few changes they just don't believe in this verse that I just read to you and a few other verses in the Torah this is obviously a problem but if you ask a Christian person which I know many many amazing people that are Christian just because they have a false religion doesn't make them bad people it's just just like a Jew that's not religious he has no idea that he's in garbage until he gets out it's no different so the same thing here they don't believe that they're Idol worshipping they just believe that God became some guy and all this nonsense that they say in the New Testament which by the way is even worse than the Quran Quran has about 9,000 different versions of it the New Testament last time I checked has over 200,000 versions 200,000 versions of the New Testament and they still have a one of the things that I find most funny about the New Testament and it's proof that no one actually that believes in it actually reads it there's no way that you read it and actually believe in it there's no way it's not it's not possible because it has things in it a complete nonsense that no person with like an IQ above five could actually believe unless you someone brainwashed you so for example in nine places in it in the New Testament they Define the word was an animal that we have in the Torah that was a very very big animal that's the combination of an ax and a deer but it was really really big some people say it was like a dinosaur some people say it was less either way it's a real animal there's no dispute that this animal existed the Christians are not disputing this animal existed it's mentioned in the Tor nine times if you believe in the tor you believe that this existed but the New Testament the king uh King James version which is the most popular version out of the 200,000 translates until this day until the current version of the new of they know it's a mistake they admitted it's a mistake but they still don't refuse to change it they still translate the word to unicorn unicorn is a cartoon it's a fictional animal everyone knows it's a myth it's somebody came up with out of their imagination it's a horse with wings and uh corn you know a horn on its head and it flies and like I know saves you from like problems or something maybe he pays your bills I'm not really sure what he actually does but the point is that this unicorn everyone knows it's fake he didn't pay my bills did he pay your bills so he's not real but the point it's funny but the reality it is it's mentioned in the New Testament nine times it's not once if it was once okay you know some gu made a mistake nine times for 2,000 years already and they admitted it's wrong because it's a fictional animal it's not real it's like saying the Smurfs are hanging out with mosenu you know Papa Smurf and Mama Smurf and the little guy with the glasses and the guy that's always angry they always hanging out and they're eating man with am the same thing it's a it's a fictional animal it's not a real animal this is funny because it's true but this is exactly what's happening so that's why I'm saying there's no way that anyone actually reads this and believes it there's no way so most people don't actually read most Jews don't read most Christians don't read most um Muslims don't read who reads people like me that are the ones that gives we read and we tell you what happened in hopes that you'll read for yourself amen but the point here is that you have a religion that's based on falsehood the ram says that since they don't believe that they're Idol worshipping when the mashia comes and they realize like it says in the book of Zacharia and the Book of Ezekiel the prophet Ezekiel the prophet Zarah Jeremiah Daniel all the prophecies that we have about the end of times come from these prophets they're going to realize one day when the mashia comes that it's not JC Penney it's not Muhammad Ali it's not the Buddha from Chinatown it's not some old Rabbi that died it's not any of this nonsense mashia Ben David when he comes you will know no one will doubt there will not be any doubts who's the messiah he didn't die already is's coming back he's not going to dance in a van he's not coming from uman he's not coming from the Brooklyn grave he's not coming from any of these stupid places that people put in their mind because they try to humanize God or humanize something in the Torah when mashia comes according to the Torah the Miracles of the mhia are going to be bigger than the Exodus whatever we have whatever the miracle we saw in The Exodus we had 10 plagues destroyed the biggest civilization in the world the lowest estimate of how many Egyptians there was was close to a billion Egyptians meaning there was big as China the biggest estimate says there was almost 10 billion uh uh Egyptians 10 billion meaning more people than are around in the entire world today just Egypt Hashem destroyed the entire civilization in like that for who for their slaves for little chosen slaves plagues frogs Lions polar bears coming you have ice from Heaven coming down with lava inside it only falling on the Egyptians even though the Egyptians standing right next to the Jew Jew is sitting there smoking a cigarette relaxing having his coffee T the guy next to the Egyptian wanted to hit him for relaxing taking a break in the middle of the day T got hit by ice and uh and lava at the same time died on the spot it's a good deal to be a Jew see all these Miracles according to the prophets according to hashem's Tor the Miracles of the Messiah are going to be much bigger much much bigger so much so that they're not going to say oh it's the god of Israel that took them out of Egypt they're not going to say that anymore they're going to say that's the god of Israel that took them out of the land of the North and the rest of the world this is in the book of Jeremiah what's the land of the north by the way anyone know what's the land of the north here no what's the only place in the entire in modern times that's has the word North in it K North America okay there you go second guess you're 50/50 today you got to wake up got to wake up Pokemon uh clip from last week got you got you all hopped up you know you're not fresh today we got to get you North North America why North America why do it say the land of the North and the rest of the world why don't you say the rest of the whole world because if you look right now at the end of times that we find ourselves the most amount of Jews that we have in the world other than Israel is in the continent of North America Canada and the United States are both on the continent of North America that is where the most amount of Jews in the world reside obviously there are but there's also Jews everywhere there's Jews in Australia there's Jews in Mexico there's Jews in uh Africa there's Jews everywhere but the most amount is in North America the continent of North America there's only one continent out of all the continents we have seven continents we have in the world there's only one continent that has the word North on it so when Hashem wrote this 3,300 years ago already knew what we're going to call the continent and in Hebrew it's called America is the uhon just like it says in the tah so the navi says the Prophet Jeremiah says that at the end of times they're not going to praise God for taking us out of Egypt they're going to praise God for taking us out of the land of the North and the rest of the world because obviously he's going to bring the G the Salvation from you know bring us from all over the world and bring us back to is but nonetheless when the mashia comes there's not going to be a question is he yes a mashia is he not a mashia is also in the book of Zacharia says that 3 days before the mashiah comes Elijah the prophet is going to come and let us know who's Elijah the prophet right who who but I heard people if they choose to believe in him that when he says three days before then they're going to be saved they don't believe him then they're going to die yeah well belief without action is worthless we talked about last week beleving in something just by you know just wanting to believe something but not actually doing anything about it is not really belief so 3 days before when you three days before is going to be an opportunity is going to announce that the mhia is going to come it's going to give a few people that are in the middle they keep mitv but they're not 100% in the chuva they're going to give him an opportunity to pick a side but if at that point you haven't already started doing chva you have no shot because there's no anymore there's no choice there's no free choice anymore once the mhia shows up mashia shows up everyone's going to want to convert to Judaism everyone's going to be B Chua oh okay mashia is of course why wouldn't I want to be on his side mhia come is going to beat the whole world we're going to be the winning team who wouldn't want to join but the page four says the time of mashia once the mashia arrives no more conversions no more chuva that's it there's no more free choice meaning that you already know it's true until the time you have mashia comes is still a doubt when he's going to come if he's going to come is it real is it not real it's a doubt if you haven't investigated Tor there's always going to be a doubt and even if you've learned Tor and but you haven't really really delved into it and made it a part of your life you're always going to have some type of Doubt so until the mashia comes you have a doubt which means that you're choice is valuable but as soon as the mashia arrives it's the same thing as somebody dies as soon as they die there's no more oh you know what oh I didn't know I wasn't ready let me start all over again once someone dies that's their personal mashia they go up to the Judgment Day they go up to hem they have to pay for the bill if they did mitv they're going to get paid if they did a lot of sins they're going to have to pay and some of these payments are very dear so back to our subject Ram says that the non-jews are not allowed to keep Shabbat because they would be creating a new religion but the Jews they have to beg them to keep Shabbat beg them convince them show them proofs the best proof in the world the best thing that you tell somebody to get them to keep Shabbat is tell them Listen by the way if you keep you're not considered Jewish why cuz it hurts it's terrible to hear it it's terrible to say it but it's the most effective tool why cuz every Jew regardless of whether he believes in hem or not whether he wants to follow him or not every Jew wants to be a Jew unless he's a complete heretic and he's just one of these losers that's a lefty and he like anti-god talk like a normal Jewish person wants to be Jewish so you show them according to the you're not considered Jewish it hurts them but then you have these these fake rabbis that exist in this world unfortunately and will exist until the mashia come and destroys them and tell people things that they made up things that are completely against the Torah and they say listen it says yes it does say that someone had violate Shabbat is not considered Jewish but only if he violates Shabbat beia in public meaning that 10 Jews have to see him driving on Shabbat in order for it to be considered a public sin 10 Jews have to see him that's called that's what Faria is Foria is a public sin and public has to be meaning in front of 10 Jews if it's 10im they don't know what Shabbat is if you're driving in the middle of Africa they don't know what Shabbat is if you're you know if you're hanging out in the middle of New York some people are Jewish not Jewish you don't really know anything they say if 10 Jews don't see you driving on Shabbat smoking a cigarette on Shabbat they say no no it's not for he's okay as long as he gives as long as he comes to be at least a couple times a year and giv also and as long as there's extra Andes a few thousand and he gives a few and and and he does the money raiser and that's all they say talk about all the time that's all that's all they talk about just and and as long as it ni everything's fine important parties important parties what do you do important parties as long as the rabbi of this K this Rabbi of this K has a brand new kitchen a brand new house and an extension and it came from the you don't have to keep Shabbat because 10 Jews didn't see you so if you drive on Shabbat but you don't drive with 10 other Jews in the car and you drive next to the sh but you don't 10 people don't show up at the same time you're fine but hasem sees you so here's the problem with these people 100% Hashem sees you but even a more of a problem none of these rabbis have ever learned any Tora why because it's it's and they actually use our they use as the source in the beginning of this par after it continues immediately from last week after P took the spear killed zimri the leader of the Shimon tribe killed kby the daughter of one of the uh Kings of Midian I actually think it was balak's daughter but nonetheless she she was one of the King's Daughters she was an important person he thought he was going to die a miracle happened and when the people came in all the people heard the screams they came into the tent they see their leaders done with he's dead in a gruesome way in the middle of being intimate blood everywhere by this guy Pinas who took the law into his hands they want to kill him pinhas from Fear died like we said last week he died on the spot had like a heart attack but AEM was so happy that pinhas took vengance for hasem that he brought back his n with extra EXT ra power and everyone moved out of his way and he had extra power he picked them up from the spear and actually went from Camp to Camp to show all of what happens to someone that violates aem's name what happens to someone that's violates zut which is immodesty goes with a non-jew violates aem's name takes the law you know do does all these things against hasem this is what happens to him and after Hashem at this point Hashem already killed 24,000 Jews the plague stopped instantly so after all of this happened the people gathered together and they wanted to kill him why so who are you pinhas benaz that uh you could take the law into your hand say it wasn't your uh your father-in-law was puel which was another name for you know you're uh you're not even like 100% Jewish there a million per Jewish but now you know what happens when people a you know sticking for you know grasping for straws they don't know how you know they you proved them wrong you show them all the facts like yeah but you're B CH so it's n doesn't really count yeah but you did this they always give you an excuse of why the situation is what it is like yeah but you come from pel and he used to be an idol worshipper they're not saying that puel which is is also the father-in-law of mosu is also one of the most righteous people that ever lived ended up going back and converting his entire nation they're not talking about that just talking about what he did in the past in past life why because the fact is that they have nothing else against pinhas say who are you to take the law into your hands and kill our leader don't you know that even though if you say that he sinned you say that he sinned he went with a non-jew and yes you're right according to the Torah he gets that's correct talked about it last week we had an whole hour segment about into marriage a Jew with a non-jew it's a big problem in the Torah it's K this is a problem that I had to deal with myself when R told me this is what it means I had a fit I lost my mind he tried to do it in a nice way cuz he's a so he wasn't even talking about the regular T basic level every every kid that's 5 years old knows you was talking about oh listen I I have a so like oh so tells me goes I saw in the Z that said something about into marriage I said what what did he say you know I'm like yeah yeah my mom mentions his name 500 times a day every uh saftic woman knows so I'm like okay what did he say he says if you are intermarried not only is a death penalty it's a spiritual death penalty you're cutting yourself off from the nation like Shabbat but on top of it you lose all your money and all your health and at this moment children dies like that gets much worse yes but he's just giving me a little bit he's giving me three atomic bombs that's enough trust me the kids and everything else I don't need to know the rest of you you just gave me dropped three bombs on my head hirosima Nagasaki and the next one to come go Magog what I'm not Jewish on top of it I have K on top of it money I'm going to lose my money I'm already Los I started losing all my money anyway on top of it I'm sick so I'm thinking oh you're blaming me being sick on this sadik that's the only one that's actually helping me how could it be the only reason I'm still alive is because of her and you're telling me that I'm suffering because of the same person how could it be I just lost my mind M I lost my mind I'm like no I didn't know who I be me what H this was I didn't know what sages was I didn't know anything like that so like now he doesn't know what he's talking about he didn't think about me when he wrote this who is he to say this I'm going against him like I'm to is very very harsh but that's the good news good news is that only a single truth and once you know the truth that means you also have a solution so no one should ever lose spirit because the truth is hard because when I was dealing with my illness being sick wasn't the problem being sick is not a problem okay you're sick you're sick what are you going to do there's nothing you that wasn't the part that was killing me mentally the part where it was killing me mentally is that we didn't know why meaning we don't have a diagnosis if you have a diagnosis then you always have hope that you can fix it even if someone has cancer Shalom they always have a dream that there's some guy there's some doctor in the world that has a solution for that specific cancer because there's a solution for some other cancer so maybe if I could use that other cancer to my cancer and I got it or the guy for Shalom one of these uh people have Aids what do they think about immediately when they have HIV what do they think about no everybody knows this Magic Johnson of course I think about Magic Johnson he's the banner boy for HIV the guy is living better than any healthy person in the world for 30 years already with HIV what does he have HIV for 30 years 20 5 years I didn't open up yet in his body open up not open up everybody thinks about that why cuz they figure that they're also going to live 25 years with this HIV they don't realize that he has to pay money up the nose just to stay alive and they're not going to be able to afford that but either way the point is that it gives people hope and hope is what keeps you alive someone lost a girlfriend he goes on Facebook sees another girl say hi to him even though it's like a computer program it's not really a girl he has hope now he's going to find another girlfriend it's hope people survive by hope someone just lost his job they read an article in a paper some kid want a poker tournament oh I remember I used to play poker 10 years ago like oh maybe I can win I can become rich or they read an article about some guy that won the lotto oh I'm going to go spend $2 on Power Ball I'm going to win the lot I'll be rich it hope hope is what keeps people alive but when you don't have a diagnosis when you are sick and you don't have a diagnosis it's worse than being dead worse no hope because you have no hope because you don't even know what you need to fix the water is leaking but I don't know from where the roof is breaking but so is the so is the floor there's bombs everywhere there's infections everywhere one day you can walk the next day you can't get up one day you're having a conversation with somebody trying to close a deal the next week you're screaming for pain asking people to kill you one day you look normal the next day you have to cut yourself in order to give yourself a surgery horrible but no one knows why no one knows why one day you're sitting here the next thing you know looks like you're being electrocuted and you're screaming your lungs out no one knows why this is happening and this is what I was dealing with so when you don't have a diagnosis what are you going to hope for there's nothing to hope for so the good news for anyone that's in trouble right now is that whether it's into marriage or it's having a problem being modest or it's having a problem finding a z or money or any issues in life you are in good shape why because you know where you stand which means you know what the solution is the only question that's left is are you willing to do it that's the only question are you willing to take the medicine and say that's it how you want to do it only difference is the medicine of hem is a little comes with a little bit of a price it's not just a one shot it's a everyday shot but it's a good shot and you eventually start realizing how amazing it is and how tasty it is and you only want that and everything in life becomes meaningless all the things you think you thought were valuable all of a sudden you don't think they're valuable anymore why because you have the only thing that actually is real in the world is a hm and once you have that why would you want anything else so now you have a situation here where is is trying to go against Pinas for rebuking them and not only rebuking them but taking matters into their own hands and they're being like the of today that are saying listen if you didn't drive in public where 10 Jews saw you that it's not considered far it just means that you violated Shabbat but you didn't you're not getting all the uh all the punish all the punishment it's only some punishment you'll be fine you go to Gom for a year you'll be fine it's like a washing machine they tell you it's like a washing machine I don't know nowhere in the tah does it say the Gom is a washing machine actually says the opposite says that the life of Job the suffering of job had if you multiply it by 70 years 70 years he had enormous amount of suffering lost all of his kids in one day all of his money all of his health all of his cavod everything was a multi-billionaire he had one of the richest people in the world a lot of cavod was a prophet he lost everything in a in a few minutes and he got so sick that the infections all of his body got to a point where worms were coming out of his body and he continued to suffer like this for a year and everybody made fun of him all of his friends became his enemies says suffering what he suffered for 70 years not for one year for 70 years he suffered like that for a year there's a whole book in the tah written about him suffering like that for 70 years 70 jobes is not even an hour in G so people are saying no no you go to Gom for a year it's no big deal it's like a washing machine okay you go there you let me know how it is when they finish washing you m says one hour is worse than job for seven years what what one year what 10 what are you talking about the only thing that it says about the Gom being for one year it's only that the trial is one year not Gom is one year G there in page 17 it says that there's G for some people that will never end the mhia will come the world will come to an end and their G on would not end it says that the world is going to exist for 6,000 years 6,000 years we're in 5776 right now maximum is 6,000 years and I think it's page 20 but I'm not sure don't quote me on the page but it's definitely and um they say that this world finishes another couple of hundred years mashia comes next week next month next year 200 years from now doesn't matter the comes everybody starts going to says no no those people those mean the ones that are inter Mar all those people that are that are that are going against on a regular basis does does end doesn't end this one year thing that people say does it's not there's not one source in the entire T not that I know the entire T but I've looked at this specific issue trust me I asked more questions than anybody else I wanted to make sure that if I'm getting into this religion I know what I'm dealing with and the more I learned the more I realized how much not only I don't know but how much trouble I'm in for not knowing and then once I realize I don't know started asking people start realizing they don't know either nobody knows even the guys with the beard even the guy from the little place that makes people do every day he doesn't know either because he's been telling me it's okay for me to be inter married just GI you're fine yeah what M what M you're already when you when you're against the Tor you're already living mavit so anyway these these people that are saying this falsehood that you have to 10 Jews have to see you this we've been talking about for the last hour we're going to go back to it page 36B it uses p as a source it says that wanted to him for taking matters into their in his own hand he said not to do it now take matters into your own hand even though it says that if you are making a public sin against AEM someone that's zealous is allowed to kill you making a public someone that's zealous is allowed to kill you but it's specifically says that Zim and Cosby were in a tent were in a tent they were not making it they were not intimate in public like today in the movie theater it's they not in the mall making out they're in a tent who invited you into the tent if you didn't come into the tent you wouldn't even know so what' you kill them for so says and they use also the uh other sources from the ma um M Sheik ever the sh and you it says that once the public knows that someone is engaging in this kind of act it's considered a public sin and a zealot May kill him meaning 10 Jews don't have to see you sinning once 10 know that you violate Shabbat on a regular basis it's considered it's considered 100% violator of Shabbat with all of the punishment once 10 people know you drive on Shabbat you consider once people even if you're driving to the mall you're not driving to Bess even if you smoke at home but everyone knows do you smoke at home on Shabbat it's considered violation of Shabbat and they use our as the source to justify what did why do they have to justify what pinhas did because pinhas didn't only do what he thought was right but he actually got rewarded for it it says Hashem spoke to Moses saying this is HEM saying Pinas the son of elazar the son of Aron why is he mentioning all of his names why you just say Pinas he's mentioning every make sure you make this a public announcement to everyone not just pinhas pinhas is the son of elazar and he's a son of and he is the grandson ofon why aronen because aronen chased peace that's why all of mourned and loved because he chased peace he says that P not only is he his grandson but you can see the connection why because the only reason he did what he did was for peace he saved the entire nation if he didn't do it it would have killed every everyone and this is what he says he continues the son of elazar son ofon theen turned back my wrath from upon the children of Israel he stopped me from acting from continuing to act cuz I was angry said when he zealously Avenged my Vengeance among them he took it upon himself to punish am punish the Sinners and instead of waiting for me to do it he protected my name he honored my name he Sanctified my name when he zealously Avenged my Vengeance among them so I did not consume the children of in of Israel in my Vengeance meaning if he didn't do this I already decided I'm going to destroy all of am the 24,000 that I killed in a few minutes that was just the beginning the only reason I stopped is because of P The Only Reason Not evenu was able to stop this not even MH and this is why in the entire T anytime it mentions the word pinhas the name pinhas pinhas is written with four letters but here in this is an added letter there's a it's five letters instead of four why Hashem added it because it's one of the letters of hashem's name he added it to pinhas he said why because Pinas he didn't do this just because he's crazy he didn't he wasn't zealous for me because he thought he's going to get a big reward or maybe we're going to write a book about him we're going to mention him in the Tora or he's going to go to ganeden he went and did this just to protect my name knowing that he's going to die not expecting anything 100% neish 100% self-sacrifice when someone has such a clean Mitzvah such a clean big Mitzvah hasm says you have a special deal my friend you're now different from everyone else first the added a letter to his name one of the letters in hashem's name second of all he stopped the punishment on all of is and then he continues shom so make sure you tell everyone then now Pinas and I have a special breed we have a special deal peace what's this piece his entire action was just like AR coin for peace but even more so and it will be for him and his offspring after him a covenant of Eternal priesthood because he took Vengeance for his God and he had atoned for the children of Israel here here hasem decided the Pinas is never going to die says just like you saved my nation you're going to have a special deal of Peace forever meaning you're never going to see death you're going to live until this world ends this is where kazal explains that Pinas eventually becomes Eli the uh Elijah the prophet and Elijah the prophet eventually becomes a complete Angel and he never dies so P officially later on he becomes actually the then he becomes Elijah the prophet and then eventually he's going to let us know that the mashiah is here so here for this extraordinary action of protecting hashem's name Pinas gets Eternal reward now the action itself what was it 10 minutes 5 minutes what was it would it take why why did Hashem give him such a reward a lot of people killed he didn't do it for himself all right he did a Mitzvah and S sacrificed his life 100% just for for hasem nothing no expecting expectation whatsoever now you're allowed to expect the reward even says that part of the reason why he does MIT aside from obviously loving hem but he says in this you pay reward meaning that he acknowledges the fact maybe it's not the reason he does them but he acknowledges the fact that hem pays a reward for anyone that does mitv so people that do mitv they talk about reward reward and Punishment but when someone does a Mitzvah purely for reward it's not 100% clean it's good all of does just for reward but the point being is that it's not like Pinas was not expecting anything the vag one year had a um one of his people travel from City to City looking for AOG for sukot because there was a shortage and there wasn't any so uh guy went from place to place to play eventually arrived in Turkey he found a guy says with a nice atog a clean atog was not cheap for a to he spent a lot of money on a to because that he considered once in a lifetime so what's the natural question what do you mean you do it every year so why is it once in a lifetime every year it's once in a lifetime why because who knows if you're going to make it next year what's the most important mitv the next one you're going to do why because the one for tomorrow you're not going you don't know if you're going to survive tomorrow B me none we hear every single day we hear people die people this people that who know going to survive next week the next mitvah that you do it's the most important Mitzvah put all of your attention to the next Mitzvah and then you do it again this the next mitvah next mitvah next mitvah so the V sends one of his uh people to look for AOG eventually he finds it in a place in Turkey but the guy says listen I have one condition I'm going to give you this AOG this very expensive fancy atog and one condition you could tell your Rabbi that he can have theog but I get all of the I get all of the Mitzvah he gets nothing all of the Mitzvah in the next World I get but he can have the if he agrees he can have the so the guy says listen I can't go back and back but I'll take it and I don't think he's going to agree to such a crazy Mitzvah what's the point of doing it then if you're not going to get a reward if you're not going to get it as a Mitzvah do you use theog what's the point right but he says listen I still I told my Rabbi I'm going to bring him one so I'm bringing him one okay so he took it he brought it to the V he told him listen before you get excited about this uhog that I got you I just want you to know it's probably one you're not going to keep he goes why what's wrong with it listen the guy is unreasonable he says that uh if you want to use this atog just know that all of the merits for you doing this mitvah only go to him that's the condition you get zero merits for using this atog the V gone started dancing and celebrating like he's never seen before he's never seen before how could it be why is he why is my Rabbi dancing and and and he said for the love did you uh hear what I said I said you don't get any merits starts dancing even more danc even more dancing even [Music] more he says to him for the please explain to me why he dancing so much when I just told you that using this atog you're not going to get any Merit whatsoever and says my whole life I've been saying I love hem with all of my heart but technically my heart my money my soul my soul I haven't you know I've been I'm studying T every single day money I've given everything for tah but with all my heart it's been a problem because even though I've been studying my whole life it's always in the back of my mind that I'm going to get rewarded for everything that I do it's not the reason why I do it but I know I'm going to get rewarded all my life everything that I do I get rewarded this is the first time I can actually show AEM that I truly love him because I'm doing this Mitzvah with no benefit whatsoever and I've been waiting for such a Mitzvah my whole life that's the difference between V and us even if you tell us listen you get all the reward in the world we still don't want not do it and he says you don't get any reward he's even more excited so Pinas sacrificed himself for the sake of sanctifying hashem's name and that's why Hashem gave him a special breit a special deal that he's going to live forever he's going to be the his children are going to be and he also saved the nation of Israel he can be remembered forever as Pinas that saved the nation of Israel something that no one else could have done but then we go back to this one part where it says that Hashem specifically mentions that Pinas zealously Avenged hm's Vengeance here Hashem is telling us something very very interesting that in today's world people are not understanding if you look at the entire Torah from mhu toov Davido everyone but especially focus on the ones that spoke out all the prophets You' notice that all of them did everything they can to protect aem's name to sanctify his name but the major job that the prophets had for example M the main thing that hasem recognized him for other than being humble is that he rebuked the nation the main reason why the Prophet Jeremiah has a book written about him and not the million plus other prophets that have lived throughout history is because specifically of this you must rebuke your people if p had a little bit of politician in him a little bit of politically correct you know what it's not really my business that he's sinning with a non-jew it's not really my business I'm not sing with a non-jew let him do let him break his head H's going to punish him what my business for what do I need to go sacrif my life for some guy barely even know there 600,000 Jews over the age of 20 there millions of others kids I have my own kids I have parents I have grandparents I got a mortgage to pay what who needs this guy I'm going to go sacrifice my life for him and not only that if I do that people are probably not going to like me watch this guy go kills people who wants to who's going to invite me for Shabbat dinner start killing people nobody didn't invite me for jabat dinner then I probably going let my kids play with them anymore I said no no no his father's a murderer don't play with him sh if Pinas has a little bit of political correctness like we have today the disease that's infesting the land today is political correctness if you had a little bit of it today the rest of the book wouldn't exist this is where it would end cuz according to Hashem Hashem decided to consume the nation to destroy the nation Pinas put an end to it if Pinas would have said you know what let him finish what he's doing and when he comes back I'm going to invite him for dinner maybe we'll have a little sh Tora explain to them listen sadik if to understand it's not allowed but by the time they finished the first sentence the nation of Israel is gone already the plague already started in a matter of minutes 24,000 died 24,000 men or also women men well they the uh huh the women didn't send the Jewish women no how are they going to sin there's no to S with other women so just going to kill all the guys kill everyone destroy everyone according to hasem was destroying everyone without women without men eventually will cease to exist once am is no more there's no purpose for the worldom if P thought like our brains today we'd have a serious problem if he says no it's maybe it's not polite for me to say something I don't really know him that well I don't really him that well I don't really know maybe he's doesn't know that he's not allowed to drive on Shabbat maybe he doesn't know that he's not allowed to do this he's not allowed to do that maybe he doesn't know so maybe I I'll just maybe know maybe somebody maybe he has a different r that a different has a different p in theora that says maybe to drive on Shabbat if p t like us we'd have a serious problem but despite the fact that Pinas saved the nation the nation wanted to kill him and this is not the first time that this happens this happens every single time someone comes to rebuke the nation until today if you look at the Prophet Jeremiah Prophet Jeremiah saw the tribe of Ephraim wasting seed wasting seed he told them do you know how bad it is to waste seed every time you waste seed you're killing over 300 million according to scientists each time seed comes out of the human body it's approximately 300 million seeds meaning 300 million potential people of course only one or two or five or 10 will come out but you don't know which one which means technically according to hashem's view you're killing 300 million possibilities killed America you killed America and I have M skinny I have a few students that have this problem they have this addiction before they found out or even after they found out they have this addiction according to kazal it's the most difficult addiction of all wasting seed very very difficult really the only way to solve this problem to get married because even if someone wants to be righteous with hem it's if once they get used to the sin it's you could only hold hold on for so long okay you hold on for 6 months a year two years but eventually you're going to break unless you really become like something special which at that point you're going to get married anyway but really the only way to stop it is to get married but the Prophet Jeremiah came and saw the people of the tribe of a frian told him listen you're wasting seed you're not allowed to do this is a big problem it's physical damage spiritual damage he gave him a three hour these that they were these Wicked people what do they do instead of listening to them hey you know what thank you sadik thank you for letting us know trying to save us that's that's what do you think right thank you for letting us know we'll let people know we'll send the YouTube video to other people maybe they're going to watch it also they're going to stop doing it also we're going to give you a CD out no they didn't do that you know what they did they made him do the same they forced him to waste seed they forced him to waste seed they said listen you have two choices either you waste seed just like us or we're going to rape you and it's even worse homosexuality this isn't a t to's got a lot of action guys people think toah is boring to's got a lot of stuff and they forced the Prophet Jeremiah the holy Prophet Jeremiah to waste seed now there is a book named sah who talks about this where it's actually a verse I think in chapter 15 vers of um Book of Jeremiah where after Jeremiah rebukes the people tells them the truth they go against them they go against them so he complains to Hashem what do I mean you know look at this horrible life that I have I try to help people do chuva and they write articles about me they give me death threats they send me problems they want to beat me up they want to go against me publicize a bad name against me what do I want to do I want to help them out but now after this happened after they forced him to waste seed it says is two chapters later I think it's chapter 17 of uh of book of Jeremiah he curses the day he was born he curses the day he was born why right not because of what they did but because he felt to still a piece of him that sinned but this his son sah wrote a book about this whole event it's a very very mystical teaching but it's a real book it actually exists it says that hasem had such Mercy for the Prophet Jeremiah that he made the seed not wasted he actually put it into his daughter and she actually gave birth from the seed how did you do that hashem's hands they went into some it fell out and it went into a water and somehow it landed inside her I'm not I'm not really sure of all the details nonetheless the point is according to the book of Sarah he didn't weigh seed either way aside from this these mystical stories sometimes I ask myself whether to tell you guys or not because I remember when I was first starting to learn tah people would tell me some of these mystical stories that make me think of like you know torah's like Harry Potter or something until you connect to the Torah it doesn't really these stories don't really click not for everybody some people like them but anyway the point is the Prophet Jeremiah tried to rebuke the people what they do they make them sin they go against them they try to kill him same thing with every Prophet after mosenu dies says that hasem cried why he CED says who's going to rebuke my people mosu was the only one that was telling people the truth that you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat that you're not allowed to eat pizza in non kosher places they not allowed to be intermarried they not allowed to be immodest and wear mini skirts with your K sometimes he's the only one that told people the truth he didn't care if they like him they don't like him now that he died now that he's closer to me he can't rebuke anyone anymore who's going to do it Hashem hasem was upset about this and this is happening until today who are the rabbis that have the most amount of enemies the ones that tell the truth if it's a nice Rabbi tells people everybody's sadik calls everybody a sadik hey how are you tadik how are you sadik don't worry it's okay just wear this string everything's going to be fine get a blessing go to some grave dance around the van a few times go to a grave again give some sta for the 15th million time do all those things don't worry you're tadik who's going to hate a guy like this he always calls me a tadik all you to do is give him a few because he mentions it over and over again I just wanted to stop mentioning it so I just give it to him already I feel like the I'm like the most righteous person on Earth I go to the sky I I I go in a sinner I leave a sadik who's going to hate a guy like this but a guy like this is not what hasm is looking for hasem is telling you the guy that gets the special blessing is Pinas P gets a special blessing he didn't call everybody the truth but most importantly the reason whyem specifically connected him to is because he wants to remind anyone that wants to be zealous not to be like these lunatics that are fanatic and like throw rocks at people in the name of religion like you have places in the world where there's religious communities and sometimes you have a woman that's not modest or at least not modest to their standards and she walks around in their neighbor and they start throwing rocks at her this is not what we're talking about here this is absolutely not what we're talking about those people are crazy they deserve to go to jail the reason why hasem is telling us that Pinas is connected toon he says despite being jealous despite being a canay someone that's zealous to the point wants to protect my name you have to remember do it out of love make peace do it for the purpose of making peace because you love them don't do it just to embarrass him heyab you're going to go to G that's not going to help him hey by the way you know by the way you know how they're going to burn you and get known because you're wearing a minis skirt that's not going to help him throwing rocks at them because they're uh not keeping Shabbat and you are uh you know a uh want to be zealous you throw rocks at them don't you know those people are actually violating Shabbat picking up the Rock in Israel they do that yeah yeah unfortunately there's places in Israel where these so-called religious people throw rocks on Shabbat because people don't keep Shabbat but these idiots don't realize that by picking up the rock they're violating Shabbat also it's m angry forget of course angry but I'm talking about just picking up the rock it's m you're not allowed to not let to pick up a rock you're violating Shabbat and you think that you're helping other people keep Shabbat keep you're violating aem's name every single minute so this is when he's talking about Pinas he's not talking about somebody that's crazy lunatic starts yelling at everybody he's saying do it out of love teach him the truth the full truth and nothing but the truth but try to throw a joke in there once in a while try to smile try to help them get close to hasem try to get them to understand how important it is connect to them help them talk to them at 3:00 in the morning if you have to whatever you got to do do to get them to know that you care not you just want to insult them and tell them ah by the way you're in trouble and that's one of the things that we have missing today because the few people that actually say the truth they have so many enemies anyone else out there that wants to say the truth is already scared there's a few other people out there that want to say the truth but they're scared they know about they know about wasting seed but last time I checked there was only four lectures about wasting seed in the entire internet in English two of them are mine one is and one of them is RAB that's it no one else and thousands of thousands of rabbis that have probably learned much more than I could ever learn have been religious for much longer than I am I'm short know a lot more than I do and also speak English no one did a one of the worst possible sins in the tah M has been saying is not considered Jewish for 22 years because that's what it says in the tah how many other rabbis are saying it very very few very very few especially in English I'm talking about Hebrew is a little bit of a stronger crowd but in English very very few it's written in all the books but he say yeah if he wants to know he'll read it in a book yeah but he's not going to read the book he's coming to yes at 10:00 because he doesn't want to read the book he wants to read he wants to listen to a and if you're not interesting he's just not going to watch a he's going to watch something else on YouTube this is the problem so many people know but either they're too politically correct to say what it actually says in the tah or they're too scared of the consequences because what I see from my little bit of experience for the last few years for the things that you say that truth people go against you non-stop I have people that make videos about me make comments on the internet try to argue this is a small version has been dealing with it for 22 years same thing so people have a hard time telling the truth even when they want to why because there's so many people that are murdering them just with this small small little thing that they try to say the truth immediately somebody jumps at their throat and tries to assassinate their character oh who do you think you are where does it say it show me this show me that maybe there's a fight with you and this is one of the things that I wanted to talk about to finish up the introduction every everyone knows that is not good but most people don't know just how bad it is this little um notebook it's over there for free if you guys want it has a few very very good uh things about L that I think are worth repeating use a source from all of the toah in ecclesiast says let not your mouth bring guilt on bring guilt on your flesh why should hasem be angered by your voice and destroy your handiwork meaning let not your mouth bring guilt on your flesh means what you know you're speaking l and destroying your handiwork means that someone that speaks whatever Torah he's learning giv it over he's giving it over to the person he's talking about about when you speak L about someone all of the MIT that you have go to him so technically most of us should want people talk about us because you're getting for doing nothing but nonetheless if we speak we learn a little bit of T we come to Tuesday night sh maybe watch a lecture every night another couple of hours here a couple of hours there we finally got our n used to actually surviving the whole two hour lecture in one sitting for some people to sit down and listen to for two hours it's hard it's hard for some people I remember for me it took me a long time first when I first started listening to maximum five minutes I fall asleep five minutes had a lot of Cl what could I do what could I do when you don't know the truth you don't know what type of gome you've built for yourself so now all the little bit of Tora that we learn says you're giving up those that you have from to this other person further it say says in the book of the says a wise man is characterized by his foresight therefore when he begins to become proficient in his studies and thus fulfills the verse in Mish in Proverbs Chapter 2:7 the beginning of wisdom is to acquire wisdom meaning you have to learn to in order to be wise he must also fulfill the ver verse in Psalms 111:10 which is the beginning of wisdom is to fear hem now in order to fear in order to show you have fear of asem and be considered praiseworthy his Torah cannot have any shortcomings meaning that when you speak it taints the Torah that you have little Torah that you learning for an hour two hours 5 hours 10 hours a day you speak about your next door neighbor about your about your coworker and so on says your Torah is Tainted this is volume two you're not gaining put it that way also says in midash on uh the book of um vter 14:2 say the the prayers of someone guilty of do not appear before hasem this is because of the tum that hovers over his prayer is prayer become impure become considered like they have or like they're n the prayer guy is going to beet finally got him himself up at 6:00 in the morning to make it to Manan or maybe he's going to a Manan at 9: right before K is uh is is already over he finally made it got himself out of bed got to beet felt like he was a sadik prayed for a whole 45 minutes he left head high is a Yi I just finished Manan I prayed in Manan for the first time in six years now what if he finds out right now one of his friends comes oh what do you think of that uh Rabbi sh and then he starts yapping his mouth if he finds out if there was if he actually saw the truth if there was like a screen that came up in front of him and the screen says oh by the way the little mitvah you just did in theet that goes into this account but now just in those five words that you have you just added about 5 million sins to the other account it was better off for you not to go to be because you wouldn't have met the that wanted to talk with you cuz now your prayer the little Mitzvah that you have as a nice wrapping paper on it of millions of sins you just made it's of T So this prayer you know this prayer is arriving to AEM it's going to arrive it's just filthy and disgusting who wants who wants to have this prayer says no get out of here with this nasty prayer who wants this prayer give me a clean prayer have so many Jews have to find somebody with nice prayer that's what they uh they're saying over here this is another one this is good so says a lot of lot of a retribution agents for the Satan for and their job is to constantly make is fail put struggles in front of them make their life difficult but aside from that punish them now the Satan knows that Hashem said as soon as the mhia comes first thing is line first thing in line Satan gets slaughtered there's no more he kills the Satan so Satan doesn't want the mashia to come so he's going to try to do whatever he can not to make it happen and he has a bunch of soldiers and they use everything anything they can to make am sin soem would punish them even more now how does he what what's his best tool to justify punishing the best tool the most popular tool out of all the [Music] tools is the most popular tool why because even the ones that wear the hat and the beard and the stal and the keep or the keep or the keeper this or no keeper everyone does it so every time someone says goes into his account in Gom that he has over there a little office or a big office because the whole thing is his oh okay this is making me richer and richer I'm going to bring this all together to Hashem okay it's time to punish is look Betty that said that helped my account Steve that that helped my account and he lists all the names of how he got all this money how he got all this to punish from where according to the comes from our own so what happens when we say we're actually helping the Satan punish us and our family in your life by talking it's another it's one of the many things but the point is it's something not logical we think we say why do we say say in essence you're saying aside from getting used to it and making it part of your life you say because you want to hurt someone that's that's the point of tell them listen don't go do business with him he's uh ABC he's uh too expensive he's too cheap cheap I'm not really sure about him and is true it's not false if it's false what you're saying if you're saying for example the guy is a uh you're saying the guyy is selling non kosher food but really saying he's selling kosher food then it's then you're just spreading a bad name it's two different things also both are horrible but the point is is actually saying the truth about someone that's still going to hurt them exposing the truth on them that's but again it's not exposing the truth where that truth has to come out for example if the guy is know Shalom the guy's like a rapist of course you have to publicize this if the guy's a thief of course you have to publicize ITV because he's going to hurt other people but if you're saying he's expensive and he really is expensive that's that's a sin it's not your business to say he's expensive or not it's somebody else is going to decide whether he's expensive or not so the point being is that we learn from chapter 4 RAR says I was among sages sikim my whole life and I never found a more useful tool to the body silence than silence quiet be quiet shut your hole AEM gave you one mouth two ears to hear double the amount that you speak most of us especially people like me that have The Gift of Gab have to work on this it's very difficult we turn learned Tora but before that was 247 so says the best mid the best thing you can have says I was around smart people my whole life I'm telling you the major lesson that all of them taught me is that being quiet is the best thing best thing for the body why best thing for the body you could say it's the best Mida it's a good character trait it'll get you out of trouble why is it the best why is it good for the body according to that's one that's one uh interpretation about not getting tat because in the time of the um of uh the desert and uh Biblical times there was the disease of tarat and one of the 10 reasons that you get Sarat is but he's saying it for a different reason what's Sarat is a is a spiritual disease and physical disease it's like having infections all over at the same time that your skin changes color looks like leprosy at the same time everything hurts including your n now how does it feel when your hurts I'm not really sure most people understand that but nonetheless it's a disaster and they kick you out for seven days yes and every time and every time someone hasat when someone walks they get thrown out of the camp they can't be next to the rest of am and any time for well until they get healed it's not necessarily for days it could it could be much longer depends how much seven days minimum because it could take you a while if somebody the only way that this disease heals is if you do Chua only hem could heal it there's no medicine for it now anytime someone walks in a desert they don't know what the other guy is who the other guy is they see him from far so one of the um main things that someone that has tat has to do is he has to publicize that he hasat meaning that when someone is coming close to him is to scream infected infected I'm infected I have stay away from me now the reason why hasem made them do this is because the point of is to make everyone stay away from a certain person you say about Steve so everyone doesn't do business with Steve you say about I don't know um Tammy I don't know if Tammy is really a Jewish name but whatever he's saying say say Tammy so no one goes to uh the with Tammy anymore no one wants to talk there anymore you know so the point of is to make people stay away from a certain person so hasem said you did this to somebody else you have to feel their pain so whenever someone's going to come close to you it's mid M it's measure for measure so anytime somebody comes close to you you have to say no no stay away from me I have Sarat andat is is infectious contagious it's contagious so anyway um one of the main things that we fa to understand is that when we say we're saying it because we're trying to hurt someone else we're trying to get everybody to stay away from him we're not realizing with is that every single word that we say it's hurting us not only is it bringing the on us the prosecutor against us but on top of it according to this we're killing ourself how so according to the gar each person was given a certain amount of words in his lifetime meaning he can't just talk forever unless it's each person was given a number of words that they're going to be able to say in their life so let's just say for argument sake someone was given a billion words a billion words sounds like a lot 10 billion but now you have a billion words every day you talk about baseball conversation baseball used 100,000 words by the time you got home you have conversation about basketball now it's another 100,000 words before you went to sleep you wanted to get the Highlights for ESPN and let your friends know about what happened ESPN about hockey it's another 30,000 words cuz hockey is not as interesting then the next morning you want to let everybody know what you saw yesterday with the baseball the football the basketball and the hockey told everybody about everything so you just repeated the 250,000 words about yesterday's conversation but now you wanted to make it a little more interesting so you add another 50,000 words by the time you finish the week you wasted at least 15 20 million words on thinking what's the big deal and then people get surprised that people die at the age 40 about me none people di young ages why he such a nice guy he always told me about what he saw in ESPN he was such a nice guy he always told me what was what was happening in poker tournaments you know poker players they love to tell you they're similar to fishermen they love to tell you about their hands about what happened in this hand and I should have won this one and this card came out and that card came out they tell you the whole story it's 3 hours about something that took place that took maybe 5 minutes 3 hours to tell a 5 minute story I don't really know that many old uh poker players other than this one guy's been living for a million years the um one player I forgot his name but um the point being here is that people waste their life and that's what is saying is saying is that every time you're talking it's not good for your goof it's not good for your body so the best thing for you is to be quiet unless you could say if you can say there unlimited amount of words unlimited you have no limit of how many words you can say when it's the writes that when one studies the laws of meaning to how to stop saying aside from fulfilling the obligation to know the laws he also gains a powerful instrument with which to steal him himself against speaking and actually what he says is that studying the laws in detail is just about the most beneficial remedy of all its effect Effectiveness is not limited to the laws of it may be applied to any area which the has gained full control furthermore this is not a new idea it's actually included in the Mitzvah of remembrance when we the Mitzvah of every day you say Hashem is commanding us to remember the that this is going to make us remember um to not follow our hearts not to follow our eyes part of following these things part of the reason why we follow our heart our heart wants to talk bad about people our eyes see people we become jealous and we have even more of a reason to talk about people so supposed to remind you that God EX exists see is supposed to remind you that God is paying attention to every single detail when you don't wear TI makes your life a lot more difficult also not wearing titit anyone that knows a little bit about titit or knows anything about Judaism in general needs to know that when you don't wear you're missing out on the easiest mitvah that probably exists so much so that there's a couple of stories from the Von and also a few other made sikim that before they died one of the main things they talked about is how they're going to miss wearing their TI instead of saying I miss my wife I miss my kids I miss hanging out with you guys saying she say no no no I'm going to miss my ti they as as why you going to miss your because where else can I do nothing and earn a Mitzvah every second now everybody's heard this before you're in a Mitzvah every time you wear every time you wear you make a mitvah every second how come nobody wears a everybody heard this this is not this not a everyone heard this you make aah you wear I've said it in my sh they've probably heard it from the nice guys too from the mean ones from the rebers from the nice one what everyone say says this you get a mitvah every second how come no one wears a why because you don't believe it how do I know you don't believe it because you don't even know the value of one mitvah that's the problem want all the money in the world but you don't believe it you could say it saying it saying it and believing it it's two different worlds if you understand the value of one Mitzvah just understand a little bit about the value of one Mitzvah you're going to go every day and operate in a completely different way you're going to look at the world in a different way in a way where you're going to be looking forv you're going to look forward to eat the apple not because you care about the Apple we care about the I haven't done you know today great I get another mitvah you're going to look forward to doing not because I got to finish I can go to work no he say wow it's mitvah you know how many are to make a thousand a thousand just to make it takes a year to make a Coos a year there's actually a video online shows um how they make a year to make a set ofin and if it's a real real uh uh maybe even longer is something that people have no idea about how do I know some people come to me and ask me to get them I tell them listen you have feeline That's Just Kosher lowest of low you going to spend $400 $500 K but it's like for I Don't Know bar mitzvah kid that uh you know it's his first set of feeling like the first car somebody gets when they're 17 years old unless it's America but in in most normal places 17-year-old gets a car it's a used car that I don't know the parents pay $2 $3,000 for it let him break it do whatever he's got to do with it but eventually when he finally learns how to drive after 5 years of accidents they'll give him a regular car soine for a 13-year-old usually you're not going to spend $2,000 on a for a 13-year-old unless you really understand the value ofine or unless you have no idea what you're doing you just have a lot of money but the point is that the $400 $500 is for the little kid it's not for an adult that's 25 years old 30 years old has a job makes money has a wife cares about loves AEM it's not for him I tell him no listen a real fine that's like good good quality minimum is going to be be close to $1,000 minimum and it goes higher from there reformed dogs get expensive F reformed dogs is because of the Heretics and they want to do their heresy in a big way but the point here is that someone that's a kosher a goodine it's going to cost you minimum $800 $900 and in some cases it could be even over a couple thousand depends depends the level you can get a Lexus you can get a Ferrari or a phantom or whatever cars are in the world it's levels but the point is a good quality is definitely not like the $400 one that one is just going to get you by and people say no no you know what let me just get the $400 one or the $500 one and uh it shows me they have no idea what they're talking they have no idea what it means they just want to do the Mitzvah just to get it over with they don't really know the value of this MIT once we know the value of the mitzvah instead of setting aside the money for a vacation to Tahiti or to Hawaii or to Cancun or to G or to wherever we're going we're going to set the money aside to get a real set of we're going to set the money to get a real K cup that's not made of plastic we're going to set the money to having a house with CLE KES things that are respectable we're going to stop borrowing the the talit of the BET and buy ourself a real talit you have people 30 40 50 years old still borrowing a t from well you can't go spend a couple hundred buy a real talit you make $5,000 a month you spend $200 on going to the movies you can't spend $2 $300 on a real talit you tell a guy listen you want to miss for your house you just bought a house half a million dollars million dollars yeah yeah I need uh 10 M okay each M decent quality M between 70 and $100 high quality mza could be $500 each depends the guy spent a million dollars on his house you would think okay even at least he's going to want to spend $100 100 on each Biza do you have one for 30 what 30 what you what are you buying Bazooka gum what was $30 for and that's the thing this the point is not not because this is a business the Point here is that people have no idea what is the value of a mitvah no idea they think that when they do a for water they're doing God a favor oh why isem giv me a hard time I did a blessing on the water today I did I laid I even kept Shabbat guy keep Shabbat thinks he the sadik thinks mosenu and him are in the same Suite shabat I even stop watching TVs on weekends I only watch the basketball game once a week you know I said you know what M may be getting jealous you only play Pokemon hour day only play Pokemon Pokemon so here's the thing that I wanted to really get to the point of this about being zealous I had a question somebody asked me yesterday a couple of people actually asked me the same question when someone is not having good luck even though specifically says that is beyond luck there's no ma for ISM told actually AB we are Beyond luck there is specifically talking about the uh fasts of tamuz the 17 of tamuz and T which was Sunday right which is the 3-week period between the 17th of tamuz and is is a time of bad luck for is these three weeks these three weeks so if you have a lawsuit with a non-jew postpone it until after if you have any type of major deal postpone it until after not listen to music don't listen to music also generally there's not much writings about listening to music uh during this time and the reason why is because it's debatable if you're allowed to listen to music at all ever as a Jew why cuz hasm is telling you my house was destroyed 2 years ago and you're celebrating what are you so happy about Pokemon came out what are you happy about you understand so that's the thing music is debatable there's obviously some where they say that uh if it's uh music kodes if it's a music that's praising aem's name Shabbat songs T songs music that's praising hashem's name then there is a uh a way to permit it but if it's like rap and techno and z and Gom and all of that stuff that's full of cursing and immodesty and naked people that's not allowed ever and I can tell you this was one my personal big because I used to listen listen to a lot of zv music in my past and um one of the ways that you can clean your eyes and your mind and your language at the same time is music music people have no idea the effect that it has on people I'll tell you a story even a real story I used to listen to hip-hop and uh all that types of music uh out there now was mainly hip-hop and rap and uh I don't I connected to those troubled lives people and uh people that hated the world or they wanted to show off how much money they had all types of stupidity anyway you don't know it's stupid when you're in it you think Eminem is great that he curses his mother out in every other song you think that Tupac is even better even though he's not around anymore people still think he's alive and you think that Biggy Smalls came up with the uh the coin phrase more any more problems even though it's in actual Tor it's in you think that JayZ is the greatest thing in the world you think all these things you think all these rappers and all these people are like great cuz they have money or they have this they have that even though most of them are go broke within a few years but anyway you think they're great and you like their lyrics and the way they come up with one liners and you could appreciate stuff that it Rhymes okay I'm not saying you know it's it's it's doesn't require skill but for a Jew it's not good why I'll tell you a real story personal basis I realized that for me to clean my head and to start fixing my own midot I have to stop being around things that get my adrenaline up when you listen to music like that you listen to techno you listen to rap you listen to those types that that type of music get you all r up like when when you listen to it when you go to the gym when you play football when you want to drive 150 mph on the highway that's when you want to listen to that music you want to get pumped up getting pumped up is not exactly the best best thing for us why because we're already hotheaded individuals so we get pumped up we're 150 M hour on the highway and we get pulled over so instead of saying I'm sorry sir I'm sorry officer we start cursing the guy out and end up going to jail instead of saying hi honey I'm home as soon as we arrive home we see the kids running around and the dinner's not the table we start cursing our wife out why because we're Animals by time we got home we have so much garbage in our head that we got into the mode and I could show you a perfect real example of not just from my own life but I show you example from somebody that used that is still still a t I had a guy I know young kid maybe like 18 years old his whole life learned toah whole life like no television no radio no nothing learned tah maybe 6 months ago before the story takes place 6 months before the story takes place he met this new kid who was not exactly a sadik bad influence lived in a neighborhood and uh they started listening you know he starts doing what he does you know friends your friend you are who your friends are so he listens to music he listens to music now he acts a certain way he acts a certain way that's just a reality if your friends are good people you're going to be a good person your friends are bad people eventually it's going to rub off so we're almost done um so anyway this uh young guy Ben T starts listening to rap music or hip-hop music and uh his behavior starts to change a little bit but not nothing I mean 6 months not nothing drastic but I didn't know this I didn't know he's listening I didn't even know who the friends were I didn't know that he had a new friend last time I saw him was you know before he became friends with this person that's it so one time I ask the common friend that we have I said you know what maybe you know he's learning to all day it's very very important to do kiru share your knowledge not allowed to keep your torat to yourself says someone that learns Tor without an intention to teach it is like someone who doesn't have a god it's pretty harsh why is it like someone that doesn't have a God is because when you learn T you're supposed to start emulating aem's midot and hasem only gives he never takes he has nothing for us to give him so how could you take all this T and not share it so that means you're using the to like it's a history book you're not learning anything from Hashem so you're like someone that learns a history book not like someone that has a God so now I say listen you learned Tor 18 years 19 years however old he is you know some Tor you know verses when I talk to you you say a few things so tape yourself make a video let me see so he makes a video and he sends it to me and I the guy that sent it to me actually I tell him listen I see the video 2 minutes not even it's like a I don't know 10 minute video first 30 seconds I saw the video I shut off the video I told him listen I asked the guy that sent it to me said does he listen to rap music and the guy sent to me he a sadik he doesn't even know what rap music is goes what's that it's music it's music you know people scream yell and talk about money how do you explain rap music to someone doesn't even know what it is so he's like I don't know I'm like okay can you can you ask him and he said okay so he calls him and he calls me back he goes he goes what do you have how did you know that how did you he said yes how did you know way you have I'm like no I don't have anyes or anything it's just you have a Hashem shows you certain things in life and you learn from experience and hashm gives you something to see what happens I see him in his video that when he's talking he's moving his body and he's moving his body like this like the rapper is doing a video and he's trying to rhyme hisu he's trying to rhyme and he doesn't even realize it though the kid doesn't realize it only 18 years old it's not like he's like a professional video maker or anything but he hasn't even realized that he's doing it and that's when I realized like I always knew that you know music affects people but not to that extent where the kid that's listening to music for a few months Ben to is going to be affected to that extent yeah yeah it already changes body language so back to my final point and then we can start the sh people complain about God every single day non stop they complain that God doesn't give them enough P they complain that God didn't give them a z to complain that God didn't do one thing or another they complain about the history of am is and why did the sh happen why did the progams happen why do the uh bet mikdash is destroyed why do we even have to keep kosher anymore why do we have to wear certain clothes and we just keep complaining and complaining and complaining to God now if it's somebody who doesn't know anything about toah I don't blame them I don't blame them why because someone that doesn't learn Torah doesn't even know what the relationship between them and God is supposed to be meaning that God gave us a toah and he gave us rules if they never read the rules how would they know what God wants from them they just heard somebody said that uh someone based on his own on his own faith will live even though it's not actually said in the Tor says says a righteous person in his faith will live they heard this verse from some other secular person says each person can do whatever he wants that's the relationship between you and God you be a good person everything will be fine what good actually means as far as a definition is subjective meaning everyone could Define it differently so if you never actually read the book how could we blame you for not having a clue but the problem is that this issue of complaining against hem is also happening in the religious world and I hear this time and time again from people that do consider themselves people that do consider themselves keeping Shabbat keeping they got the whole they do the deal so how could it be that both the secular people and the religious people have the same complaint very same answer to both always complaining we're always complaining but it's the very same answer to both of them neither one of us understand what the relationship between us and God is supposed to be the religious people may know a little bit about about God by knowing the history whereas the non-religious don't have a clue like I didn't like many people before they did cha don't but the problem between them the the commonality between them the secular and the religious is that if they're complaining against Hashem that means they have no idea what the relationship is supposed to be meaning most people think that God works for them God owes them something like I'm supposed to get I'm supposed to get my Z on time I'm supposed to have nice disciplined kids that say yes sir when I get home I'm supposed to have perfect health I'm supposed to live in a nicest house in the neighborhood and never be have a reason to be jealous of my nextd door neighbor's car or bicycle or whatever they have I'm supposed to have all these things why because I pray to God what's the difference what do you mean I pray to God he's supposed to give me I laid he's supposed to give me he said in the T he's going to reward us for a thousand Generations R didn't you say there's no mistakes in the toah I prayed all day yesterday I still didn't win the lot the problem is we have no idea what our relationship with God is supposed to be first and foremost we have to understand God does not work for us he doesn't owe us anything doesn't owe you anything he will never owe you anything the fact that you exist is enough of a reason for you to be thankful from here until eternity even if that existence is only comprised of suffering no reward you're still supposed to say thank you where do we learn this from a job said even if God were was to destroy me i' still do what he says he finally got it we think God works for us so we don't say thank you we say why why this why that why this why that who are you to ask God questions but since God is much more merciful than I can ever be he entertains you he let you ask questions he doesn't open up the ground like he did for kak when he ask too many questions but the point here is that you should try something new when you complain to God you're showing him that number one you have a delusional mentality of what you think the relationship is all about which means that there's a lack of connection there's a short in this connection between you and God you think he owes you something and he knows he doesn't think he knows you owe him everything so there's a big disconnect here you're here he's at the end of Eternity it's two completely different worlds so when you complain you're showing that you're exposing that distance between you you just be quiet you complain you make it worse for yourself be quiet it doesn't show that you're naked you know no one knows who's naked when they're inside the water once the tide comes back everyone sees who's swimming naked when you start talking your nonsense and complaining against God it shows that you're naked shows that you're completely have no idea what this Rel ship is supposed to be it's a big problem second thing it shows is that you don't actually believe in him you have no amuna whatsoever you believe that he's limited that everyone else in the world he gave and when it came to you he ran out he ran out of money everyone in the world got married but you're not going to get married you're going to stay alone forever be miserable cuz hm brought you to this world just be miserable people have this delusion in in their mind where they think that Hashem is like taking revenge against them how do I know this I used to think that when my mom would tell me listen I'm when I went to this Rabbi and he blessed you what I say I said to my mom IMA please stop blessing me God hates me that's what I thought I saw I actually thought that hasem hates me little did I know that he loves me so here the issue is is that we have because we have a disconnect before we have because we don't have we don't know what's written in this wonderful book called the Torah we don't know what God wants from us and what he's expecting from us and what he actually said to us and what is the instructions of how to connect to him when we don't know then we're all we're doing is the wrong thing so first and foremost I would suggest that we try to be quiet more often than we are especially when it comes to complaining about God do not complain to God about anything you want to pray for something pray for it you want a z you want you want money you want whatever you want you want a miracle whatever you want pray for it but don't complain like he owes it to you he doesn't owe you anything he owes you nothing you owe him that's number one cuz at least when you pray for it you'll expose a normal side of a relation you'll show that okay I understand what this relationship is supposed to be he doesn't owe me anything but the only way I can get it is if he gives it to me that shows that you have a little bit of you have a little bit of mind you have a little bit of common sense that's one second thing is before you start judging AEM like we do every day about how man you know what I would have done this different I would have done this different I don't know if you wanted to really wake up am maybe you would have done this before you start judging am or judge the way Jud judge AEM or judge the way he deals with is or even worse judge the way he deals with you specifically like you know better ask yourself this question you have all these rules in the Torah you have 613 MIT that are directly from the Tora and then you have another seven from raan that means there 620 mitv many of which are not related to one particular person either because there's no bet mikdash or not everyone is aen or not everyone is a woman or a man but there's at least a couple of hundred that apply to everyone how many of them do you do if you ask yourself this question let's say this just call number sck let's say it's 200 just to make it easy it's 200 how many of them do you actually do you going ask yourself this question cuz this is the instruction set this nice book is a love letter from Hashem it's also it's an instruction set he says listen you want a connection with me follow the instructions you have 200 mitv to do that apply to you do them if you do all of them we have a good connection there's no shirt how many do you do 20 30 sadik 50 how many do you do and the 50 that you do how many of them actually have kavana like you actually want to do them how many of you go to be get excited to go to be and pray with the Manan and not look at the phone wait till the prayer come on this is another 10 minutes man I can't believe that sh for three hours Rabbi why you couldn't make it shorter I have a date the basketball game starting such a long sh for the why is it so long how much Cav do you have in these MIT so now let's say you have 200 mitv let's see you do 50 of them the 50 of them so you already you have 25 on your test 50 is 25 of 25% of 200 so you're already failing the test by the way but out of the 50 let's say hem says you know what let's make it like this 50 hashm is much more merciful than I you know anyone could ever be says let's we'll just count the 50 that you do let's say those 50 all the foundational all those things you did you're not if you're violating shabat there's no cha there's nothing but let's say those 50 are all the foundational ones let's just say prob the 50 let's just say that's that's the 100% for you how many of them you actually care about how many of them do you actually connect to how many of them are you like Pinas that we learned about you did it even if you didn't get a reward how many of them are you willing to sacrifice your life to do zero zero pinhas got an eternal blessing because he was willing to do a mitvah he was not even obligated to do and he was willing to sacrifice his life just for that mitzvah he treated that Mitzvah like it's supposed to be treated it's the most important Mitzvah in the world because the Mitzvah of right now and sanctifying hashem's name is everything it's the only reason you exist he treated that way and he got an eternal blessing when we're not getting the blessing we want when we're not millionaires we don't have the right Z when our kids are not feeling too good when the schom bite is not great problems at work instead of complaining to Hashem why don't we look at our why don't we look at our accounting see what we do versus what we don't do okay after we get depressed when we see what we do versus what we don't do let's move on to the next chapter and say okay the stuff that I do can I at least be good at it the 5050 that I do can I at least perfect those 50 once you start thinking like that then you begin getting close to hem then you begin understanding what the relationship is supposed to be like because then you start serving AEM and the reason why mosenu got the highest compliment that is written in the Torah mhe Moses my servant why by my servant my servant understands that the only thing that matters is Hashem the connection between him and Hashem is the only thing that's important in the world he doesn't have an opinion he doesn't give hem different types of conditions I'm here to serve hem just because I'm here to serve hem hopefully there's a reward but the reality of it is that hasem is so merciful so gracious so kind that if you even think just think about doing a Mitzvah with hopes that there's a reward but just you'll still do the Mitzvah you already get Eternal blessing any questions oh I wanted to say m I think it was brother said it someone who wants very good should keep quiet yes when you say destroy your par okay there's many things that destroy parasa one of them is a another one of them another one is wasting seed another one of them is unhappy wife controlling your wife no controll controlling a wife that's will kill the P even if you have it cuz you'll spend all your money no but meaning that they uh if you have if you are not making your wife happy you know you have some people that make a lot of money but they're cheap you know they they they have a hard time giving the wife any money to go shopping they think that when they give her money to go grocery shopping it's like they're giving her the money like all the food is just for her or when they uh you know when she wants to get herself something nice for the holiday they uh make a big deal out of it because it kills their accounting for their retirement plan who knows if they're going to survive this retirement plan CL you know MTH you can have you have to have to make sure you have you have SCH you have to be generous you have to give you have to use your money for the right reasons you have to be honest there's a few things that will destroy your which we mentioned them is definitely one of them but uh also schom is a very very important thing honesty is important and also not wasting seed but that's wasting seed is more relevant to younger people than it is to older people hopefully so if you watch your mouth you're can to have better P if you watch your mouth you can have better everything watching your mouth is a lot more difficult than you um than than it seems but it's definitely possible if you watch your mouth everything's going to be better I say not everything you say about someone is may be harming him not everything you say may be harming him cuz when I read the book it says like harming him you actually like you talking he lose his business you could talk about someone the next day you forgot about you and your friend he talked about him yeah but you the thing is the what is the intention the intention is to harm this person or not is the intention is what you're saying could it be harmful in somebody else's eyes or perspective or is it cuz you may not think it's a big deal that he's the most expensive guy on the street or he's the cheapest guy on the street or he's very generous and he uh you know not even allowed to tell people that this guy is very generous and he invites everybody to his house on Shabbat it's not your business to tell people so you know next thing you know you have too many people coming to his house and he can become poor because of you so so the point is is that you have to watch your mouth especially when it comes to talking about other people it's better not to talk about other people at all ever except if allowed to if then you're protecting other people yes but even then you have to be very careful in case they do Chu in case there is a way to do you off for what they did but the uh one thing that I know that's in a secular world that always drove me crazy is when people would talk about uh celebrities or athletes that and how much money they make in general talking about other people's money whether it's the religious world or the secular world or anything talking about other people's money in general talking about other people's life but especially money is the lowest form of conversation that exist mentally you're better off talking about Smurfs and vampires than talking about other people's money because it's just m shows that you have zero in your head makes you feel like you have less it's not it's just just it's like not only that you have zero in your head when you're in a situation but aside from that it's there's only downside from it you cannot benefit out of that conversation in any way shape or form there's no no one that talked about Jay-Z's money or PD's money or Warren Buffett's money or Carl icon's money or Eddie lampert's Money or Derek Jeter's money or any of these you know tycoons or celebrities or poor people or whoever no one in history that ever talked about somebody's money benefited in any way including entertainment a waste of words including entertainment no one's ever entertained from that conversation why do people do it because they have nothing else in their brain if you have toah in your brain you never get bored next question I answered all of your questions in the sh should have made it at least 3 hours if I'm answering so many questions I wanted to say you said about the r no that a go doesn't keep Shabbat I heard something else he married Shabbat to the Jews so the Jews Mar to shabbat so when I go keep Shabbat it's like that's that's one of the uh that's one of the things that rambam says I made a Sher about it I made two shim about it uh short ones like the daily K why noahides or non-jews are not allowed to keep Shabbat each one is about maybe 20 minutes people got upset at me uh that I said that non-jews are not allowed to keep Shabbat uh as if I made the AL as if I made the law this is people that are much greater than I could ever be if I eventually get to a point of being equivalent to their shoe I've already made it in life this is the sages this is this is R this is this is zo this is you know I didn't make the rules I'm just I'm just a parrot people don't understand this they get upset when you tell them the truth this is what's written in the Torah but they said yes but some guy wrote a book some guy today like you know in our generation some young kid young guy maybe 30 years old he wrote a book and he says you're allowed to keep Shabbat if you're not Jewish who is this guy no Christian who is this guy that that's writing a book going against theim going against the r going against who are you it could be the smartest guy in the world he's still not going to be the equivalent of a shoe of the r people don't understand that you can't there's no there's no new there's no new laws in Judaism everything we have right now that's it that's what we have from Mount saes not does not change we could innovate meaning build on an existing Al because obviously we didn't have cars in Mount sa we didn't have electrican Mount Si so we can build on the AL of fire or of um uh a uh well the fire really is the main thing for uh for uh not using the car we could build on that to not not to not to use a car okay as far as uh when it actually believe it or not I actually learned this recently when it came out with electricity the the stier said this uh that when they came out with electricity and they came up with like uh phone and lights and so on no 100 years ago um the rabbis the Pim were actually looking for reasons to make light on Shabbat not Kosher because technically it's not 100% pure fire electricity is not 100% pure fire I mean it's it's not the same thing as actual fire if you hold it you're going to catch on fire if you hold it you're going to catch on fire like ra says but it's still not exactly fire it's not 100% so there was doubt is it fire is it not fire maybe you're allowed maybe you're not allowed but okay so let's say this regular light bulb over here this yellow light bulb is fire because the heats up but what about the uh those lights that don't heat up what about the iPhone turning it on right what about those other things so the stier said that they were actually looking for ways to make all electricity not kosher why because said that if we made it kosher if we made it allowed on Shabbat eventually there would be no Shabbat at all people would just act like they do during the week as they do on Shabbat You' never know when it's Shabbat when it's regular day so sometimes so sometimes you have to be more stringent to protect the people that's why hasm gave us permission in the Tor he said build a fence around my fence and it's very very important to uh to know that some of the are are more stringent than what we would like for them to be but it's for our own protection just like sometimes you're not going to want your kid to go play in the kitchen even though the kitchen seems like a perfectly fine place the kitchen also has drawers with knives in it and sometimes you're going to want to say listen everywhere you're allowed to play except the kitchen seems unreasonable but it's obviously for the kids protection he's only going to realize it when he has kids 20 30 years later any else yeah I've been hearing this thing since I started kicking Shabbat like for two years mhm I don't know who said it it says tell me dog whoever eats fish in Shabbat is not going to burn in hell yeah that's a nice thing but there's no source for it in the there's no Source what about the source if you eat they going to be saved I'm go that's what I heard I hear that a lot yeah it's a nice saying but there's no actual uh it's it's it's not a um I think people rely on these things they can rely that's or eating fish on Shabbat or listen in my opinion it's may be a little harsh in my opinion someone that thinks that just because they eat fish on Friday but don't keep Shabbat I they keep Shabbat but they do a lot of other sins but eat fish depends what kind of sins you're talking about everyone sins there's no such thing as a person doesn't sin depends what level of sins if you're talking about Sin like violating Shabbat a sin like stealing money a sin like idol worship a sin all types of stuff like that high level sins then it's different if you're talking about sins like the guy is you know forgets to do kma the guy is a once in a while uh you know makes a mistake with certain okay it's different levels of sins but the people that usually rely on things like that are people that don't keep anything someone that learns T that that enough to know that he has to keep Shabbat and everything else has to develop some type of now anyone in my opinion this is a little harsh and I'm probably going to be hit over the head for saying this but I don't care it's just my opinion in this part someone that actually believes that they're going to go and avoid G and actually go to ganeden because they eat fish on Friday out of all days in the world they finish fish or because they eat sud sheet deserves to go to Gom just for that stupidity in my opinion if I if I was if I meant anything in the world I would send somebody like that to gam just for thinking something like that like what you think think about it for a second so Hashem gave us 620 rules and you could violate everything just as long as you eat fish which makes your your belly fatter and you're happy about you're enjoying it so because you ate fish on Friday you're going to go to ganeden like what we treating God like a fool you're making a joke out of the Torah because you ate sud because you made yourself a little fatter than you already did on sud in the first suda you had the third suda in the last 24 hours and you're going to go to ganeden for that really you people actually believe this nonsense if I was God I would send them to Gom just for thinking like that about me some people preach it like Rabbi say I don't know I don't know who says that but all I know is that whoever believes it is a fool it's nonsense listen if you're keeping all the foundational MIT and you are using sud as a way for on shabat and you're really you're keeping everything else but using sud and you're really making it a and even is considered even higher than sud or you eat the fish and you you're like a uh you know a um y m Shabbat you know y Shabbat brought the best fish every became a billionaire right so if there's a story about y m Shabbat I heard from dooo Fisher and uh and I'll finish like this there was a guy named ysep M Shabbat ysep the one that recognized a Shabbat and um he wouldn't make much money but all the money that he would have he would try to just survive the whole week eating very very basic food just to survive to save all of his money to buy it for Shabbat to buy fish buy fish no everything not fish it's not fish he didn't say fish that's not the story just to buy to buy food for Shabbat it happened to be fish at the end of the story but it's not fish he would make sure to buy special things for Shabbat so one day there was a very wealthy guy in a different town that uh brought a bunch of um fortune tellers to tell him this what's going to happen to his fortune he wanted to be richer than he already is he said actually there is a Jew that lives in a different city with a name ysep and he's going to take all of your fortune and this guy got really worried you know a guy has money you start telling him if you're going to lose all the money it's like a nightmare it's even you know it's like the worst nightmare you can tell them listen your wife is cheating on you he won't care you tell them you lose your money gu going to start doing T start fasting but anyway so the guy says you know what I'm want to outsmart these fortune tellers I'm gonna sell everything I have and invest all of it in the diamond so no one can take my money cuz it's all in my hand it's never going to leave me no one can take my money until this time passes until I have a better Fortune so that's what he did he sold all of his land all of his real estate bought a really really big diamond and he said you know what to make sure I don't lose it I'm going to seow it inside my hat my tusha that I have that's what he did so he'd walk around thinking that he beat the system one day P one day passes a strong wind m and the Tusa flies off of his head as hem wants it to fly off and he starts chasing it and tusha the hat that he has a scarf that he has goes into the water of the river and it's gone loses all of his money just like that time passes Hat's gone eventually the H the Hat the integrates or the scarf disintegrates the diamond lets loose and a big fish swallows this diamond and one day on a Friday this fisherman fishes this fish and he runs to the market and everyone left except one guy he says listen who could I sell this fish to this he goes wow that's a beautiful fish a huge fish only guy that would ever buy such a thing is ysep M Shabbat ysep the one that recognizes Shabbat CU he's the one that the whole week he's preparing for Shabbat every week so he runs to yosef's house he says please he goes how much how much is this he goes 10 10 uh coins wow it's very expensive but for Shabbat I'll give you everything I have he gives him everything he has 10 coins it's all he had no savings account no IRA account no pension plan no little 529 plan for the kids for college nothing everything he had Shabbat he buys it and as he tries to prepare the fish before Shabbat cuts the fish open he seeds the diamond and becomes the richest man in town real story why Hashem said if you trust me you already won if you trust me have in there's nothing that could be wrong in your life why because you know that everything that's happening in your life is under hashem's control so it could be nothing bad everything turns into good even the things that look bad are actually good cuz you know that it's under hashem's control when you don't trust Hashem you already have a problem when you think that Hashem works for you you have a disaster when you think that you're here to benefit and and enjoy this world only then you my friend are in a worse shape than even I was so I think it's very very important to learn from P that self sacrifice for the sake of sanctifying aem's name that's what we have to shoot for and why do we have to shoot for it because if we shoot High even if we don't get to where we want to get to we can still get far when we shoot low where our highest objective our highest goal is to maybe one day arrive at be on time to do maybe one day we'll even keep Shabbat it's too low we have to aim what the Torah says Before We complain to hasem let's check ourselves first let's look in the mirror and ask ourselves one question if I was God would I give it to me God gave you 200 MIT specifically to you let's say you do 50 you're sadik already in this world 50 you're already sadik but you're really failing the test you're getting a 25 out of 100 but let's say Hashem is merciful it says you know more says okay 50 is fine no okay let them pass 50 but the 50 that you do is it like half ass 50 is it like real 50 you like serious Cav like y Shabbat with the Shabbat was he was willing to put everything on a line for a fish for Shabbat or is it or you're relying on the eating the fish on Shabbat to go to G only you know andm knows which one are you so before you complain to Hashem ask yourself what would I do amen amen
