always great to be here will be to for Mel kotoo Balu Ruben ysf Ben Rifka yosua Mikel Ben hadasa Olga Putney Hana Vasquez Rachel Hernandez Karina Vasquez Cesar Jimenez Joseline [ __ ] bivia idil Guerero Isabel Perez Josephina Marcel Matos Maria YZ guo Pablos Ruben Pablos guo sonano and Wes Garcia David and we'll have some new from yesterday sh but as we started last night sh talking about as I mentioned and today's world we spend a lot of our time worrying about our goof our body not enough time about our soul and without having our soul taken care of very very meticulously very very carefully even more than our body we slowly die but not a physical death only but a spiritual death where it becomes very simple to become depressed something small happens the glass falls from the counter all of a sudden you see your wife crying why are you crying it's just one glass no but it's my CIS Crystal I like my okay it's Crystal it's material what's the what's the it's not the end of the world okay I know it was expensive buy a new one we have money buy a new one why you crying she's not crying because of the crystal she's crying because inside something is missing same thing somebody loses a job all of a sudden they want to commit suicide why you want to commit suicide okay you lost some money you lost a job okay so it's not it's not good news but what you want to kill yourself for it's not going to stay this way before you had this job you didn't have a job or you had a different job you didn't kill yourself before this job why you going to kill yourself after this job the reality of is has nothing to do with the job it has to do with something's missing inside something that the is yearning for is missing and that something is the same thing for everyone that's Hashem connection to Hashem now Kaz tell us in the Holy books that when hasem gave gave the soul to he blew a wind into him but in essence he gave him a piece of himself meaning that Hashem even though he has no body or an image of a body if kazal didn't spell it out we wouldn't be allowed to say it but according to Kaz according to the Tor that hem gave them Hashem gave a piece of himself and put it inar and we know that Soul was divided up amongst everyone even though the world was destroyed still we had Noah and his uh his wife and his three children and their wives and also OG the king of Bashan the giant so there was some survivors so that soul that was split up into many eventually was GI you know was in them and all of that was in Us in the entire world so in essence there's a piece of hasem in everyone and that piece is like a magnet it needs to connect to the source without connecting to the source it slowly loses its power now Hashem doesn't want this is obviously an eternal piece he's not going to let you completely destroy it so what ends up happening if some someone doesn't correct thems in this life and is out of chanin there's no more time to do a g there's no more time for reincarnation there's no more time because the Messiah already came there's no not you know people already ahead of you there's no more time to do Chu and that Soul was finished this world that Soul finished this world wasting seed that Soul finished this world being a heretic teaching teaching the wrong things about Torah being an idol worshipper those types of people there's no Chua up there their G never ends and what does kazal say what does the Z say says if they go to the Gom where the actual part that's theirs gets completely wiped out completely destroyed only to leave the Eternal part only to leave the diamond that hasm gave you and he takes it back his peace is eternal yours subject to your actions this is one of the things that people don't understand in our generation and the way we know it is because they spend 3 hours a day in a gym 10 hours a day planning their diet 15 hours taking pills to make sure that they take all the right vitamins and painkillers and depression pills and all types of drugs that happen but you tell them listen we have to do no it's too long of a prayer I'm just going to do and that's it okay listen it's a Shabbat no listen I'm going to do K but tomorrow I have a meeting I have a business part I have to meet with listen it's a holiday now he goes no no no I don't I don't keep two holidays I know that they said keep two holidays I only keep one they make their own own rules okay says you want to make your own rules you're destroying your peace my peace is eternal my P ET turn I'm going take it back and that's one of the things that it says in the page 17 it says that those types of people that literally do not do chuva and continue being the uh ones that make other people sin continue being Heretics continue being Idol worshippers continue being their G never ends even after mashia comes even after hasem shuts off the fire and G their fire never ends why because you destroyed something I created it wasn't yours to destroy shm takes it personally it's not a joke now we have to teach this to people why because now they when they know the cost they know the price of something they're going to decide for themselves do I want to buy it or I don't want to buy it if you go to a restaurant and there's no prices on the men you're going to order everything give me everything but if each PR each then he tells you no turn it around and you see every every little piece is $1,000 and no no you know what I don't want anything just give me a cup of water if it's for free same thing we need to teach people the cost we need to teach people the price and that's one of the most important things that we learn in every single par because when you learn the par like you're supposed to you realize that there's really a cost because half the Tor half the Tor not even 10% 20 half the Tor if not more than half the Tor tells us the price tells us the cost now in this week's Pas there's a lot of different subjects we first start with the cost of then we find out that there's problems with then we find out that there is Hashem is not kidding about punishment but then after that the Paras moves to a completely different direction and talks about three completely different MIT three completely different stories what is it first it talks about idol worship the sin of idol worship if it's intentional if it's not int what's the consequence what do we say about idol worship in the past every single time it's mentioned in Tor the next thing to it Shabbat violation of Shabbat why because for hasem violation of Shabbat is the same thing as idol worship that's why every time you look for it in the Torah talks about idol worship right next to it the next verse next to it says and then after that it talks about you know the part that we read in is actually comes from this but one of the main things that very very interesting about this is this is the most famous story that's probably most of is today does not know exist I thought always that the and also two of the very famous parts of the T that are scary cuz they're full of curses I thought they were the scariest I thought that this is you know what 10 verses in I think we did it over here 10 verses is blessing 40 versus curses CES it's a pretty bad ratio it's pretty scary even worse so I thought okay this is the real people and you know you have the uh Tora in they say it in many places they say it extra quiet they don't want anyone to hear the curses maybe they get offended like the Kazan is saying it from his mouth it's AEM wrote it he wrote it because he wants you to know it but I always thought they're the scary ones but then I learned again this I learned this a few times I learned again and you know you start each time you look at the you find something new you dig a Little Deeper you find something more and the more I dig into this parha the more I realize this par is more scary than both of them because in the other it was obvious you sin you get this you you get this in this this whole disaster that happened doesn't even look like such a bad of a sin calls it in that Moses knew there's going to be something wrong he's a prophet when he sends these spies to the land he knew there's going to be something wrong that's why he added a uh UD a letter to the name of Joshua his name was OA then he he added a you to his name which is one of the letters in hm's name to bless him called him Joshua from that point on also Caleb that was aad when he got toan which is later to be called is he went to the why to pray Hashem save me I don't know what's going on but it doesn't seem right save me from this save me from any save me from any sins save me and that's why those are the only two Joshua and Caleb the only ones that were saved and not only that they were rewarded Caleb was eventually rewarded his descendants were rewarded which is where the where he prayed he was rewarded that piece of the land Joshua became became the leader after mosu the rest of the 10 they died shortly after they reported the bad news or what they said was bad news so mosu knew something's going to be not so great but he wasn't sure kazal says why because the sin they were going to make was so such an A Thin Line they call Duc du means thin it's like the difference between making a mitzvah and making a sin was such a thin line you couldn't tell going to seems like a Mitzvah who's not making a mitvah going toet you have to beg some people to go to beet but if the Beet is reformed or it's conservative it's not only not a Mitzvah it's laying you have to do lay a man has to lay six times a week except you know with the exception of Shabbat not allowed to do Shabbat not do holiday but if he lays on Shabbat or on holiday it's not a Mitzvah it's it's a sin meaning that the line between a sin and a mitvah can be very very thin you can't just say it's l is always a Mitzvah no it's not always a mitvah go in synagogue is always a mitvah no it's not always a Mitzvah even is said lute meaning exerting effort we're obligated to exert some type of effort for whatever we want to do even that could either be a or what the were doing over here the spies over here M you know tell them yes go ahead and go it looked like it was a mitvah even you know technically we're exerting some effort we're going to find out what's happening over there because hasem said that this land is full of gold and honey and you know all types of silver and and a lot of great things but if they know that we're coming they're going to hide it so we're going to go make sure we're going to scout it only 12 of us going to scout to make sure where they put it so we get there we can get it even if they try to hide it we're going to know where it is we're going to look at the combination looks like a Mitzvah but we find out just a couple of paragraphs into the par not only it's not a Mitzvah it becomes one of the biggest sins in in the history of why because Hashem said I give you I'm giving you a land of milk and honey it's a good land you don't need to check it if I said something you have to check my words why cuz I'm flesh and blood Hashem says something you have to take his word for it so when you say listen I know Hashem said it's a land of milk and honey and everything but can we check it you're making a sin why because you're showing you have no imuna and not having amuna is a very big sin which we're going to learn today but then as you go further into the par before we talk about the we find out at the end of the parasha we have one of the most important stories in the history of am unfortunately it's about a big sin but it's an important story that most people today don't know even exists maybe it's because at the end of the Paras and by then people are sleeping at the besset maybe it's because no one understands the holy language maybe it's because no one listens at all maybe it's because nobody's giving a about it because maybe it's not as interesting as the story about the spies but the reality of it is it's one of the most important stories to ever know and the story starts in chapter 15 verse 32 it says for small story this is the beginning and the end of that story four verses what does it say it's translation the children of Israel were in the wilderness and they found a man Gathering wood on the Shabbat those who found him Gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and and to the entire assembly they placed him in custody for it had not been clarified what should be done to him Hashem said to Moses The man shall be put to death the entire assembly shall Pelt him with stones outside of the camp the entire assembly removed him to the outside of the camp they pelted him with stones and he died and Hashem had as as Hashem commanded Moses this is the story we've talked about in previous about the firstat in history this was the second week after we got the Torah first week we kept Shabbat second week we already had a Shabbat violator who is he this man over here by name of his name was and kazal say that before this day he was actually considered a very righteous man so his death was physical or spiritual death physical they stoned him with the worst possible death penalty so it was hard H the punishment the worst possible punishment you can get there are four types of death penalties that the Sedin were allowed to implement four types and each one is worse than the other the worst type the worst possible type was Stone stoning why because with stoning unlike when they would kill him with a sword which would be one shot or unlike where they would hang them or they would burn them these things would take you know less time stoning takes the mo most amount of time it's the most amount of suffering what happens with stoning first they throw them off a two-story building breaks all of his bones then they already prepare a big Boulder to follow him to smash him but because it's most likely that maybe missed a piece of his body there's a bunch of people waiting at the bottom after the Big Stone goes on top of him and crushes him they're going to throw more stones on him until he dies doesn't get worse than that so he was known as a sadik sadik before he made the sin made a lot of MIT in his life and they say that he actually made the sin the shma meaning he made the sin to show people that hasem is not kidding but he made a mistake he shouldn't have done it what does he do one of three things they say the the par says he was gathering wood so they say what do you mean maybe the uh if he was gathering wood from the place he was allowed to to the place he's not allowed to then it's called the uh sin of if he was cutting the Twigs of wood then it's called and if he was just Gathering the sticks together then it's called it's three different types of to do on Shabbat this is all Shabbat Shabbat page 96b could have been one of those three sins doesn't necessarily have to be all three it's most likely one of them but just for one of them they see him they arrest him but then it says they placed him in custody maybe they put him in jail for it had not been clarified what should be done to him what does it mean not been clarified what should be done to him to says M what does it mean no they knew he's going to die they just didn't know which death penalty it's going to be M for sure we know violated Shabbat what are you do what happens when you violate Shabbat you're saying God doesn't exist that's what says someone doesn't keep Shabbat what are they saying they're saying God didn't create the Heaven and the Earth in six days and rested on a seventh meaning everything came from nothing can't be say no of course we know he's going to die we just want to know from God listen how and also listen it's only the second Shabbat we just got the T last week maybe you should be a little you know lay off a little bit hem you know calm down we just got to we didn't even have enough time to read the whole thing we just got it what does hasem sayem says to Moshe the man should be put to death the entire assembly meaning everyone's involved in this Punishment No One Is absolved he's a sinner everyone needs to see it and everyone needs to be involved in it the entire assembly shall Pelt him with stones outside of the camp don't even punish him inside the camp I don't even want him inside the camp with you kick him out and punish him over there and this is exactly what the am is did the entire assembly removed him to outside of the camp they pelted him with stones and he died as hem commanded mhe now why do I say this is perhaps one of the most important events that ever happened probably um probably he's not going so voluntary know they got a hands yeah yeah exactly yeah it wasn't it it wasn't there was no mercy no no no no no mercy I don't think he's going to be going like an all I'm sorry I made no such thing no no no that's it once hem said theem said say forgive me forgive me forgive me doesn't help once you violate Shabbat why because this was this was the the the calls this generation the generation of knowledge what is the generation door is is Generation de means knowledge what knowledge knowledge of Hashem there was no doubt that Hashem was real why there's Miracles 24 hours a day food coming down from sham Miracles you just saw the biggest civilization in the world get destroyed just a few weeks ago one plague after another over a period of a year the frogs attacked them went inside their stomachs they didn't even touch you the beasts from all over the world even from the Arctic the polar bear that can't live in Egypt came to Egypt just to go kill Egyptians didn't touch one Jew the hail somehow had miraculously ice and fire at the same time lava who is a hit only Egyptians no Jews no doubt here there's no doubt that this is obviously the hand that created the world is the same hand that's controlling all of this and on top of that last week you heard God's voice and you saw the letters in the sky you saw the sounds not just heard the sounds you saw the sounds you heard God's voice remember when all of you died and you came back to life and then he said another word then you all died again and then you beg Moshe please you know tell to stop talking remember so this is this is this is the generation where everyone was knowledgeable that God was real everyone had no doubt you knew God was real it's no joke but you only had to to for a week it doesn't matter but you know and kazal says if the generation that only had the Torah for a week was judged this way what excuse do we have we had to off for 3,300 years already we can't say no we we we we didn't know what tah said we you had it for 3,000 years they had it for a week still got the worst possible punishment what excuse do we have and this is why if you remember I think in last uh last time we had a sh I mentioned something either here or somewhere else I'm pretty sure it was here a lot of people think that you know when you say the punishment for Shabbat maybe the rabbi is uh exaggerating or maybe he's making things a little more than what they are so I bought an amazing book y this is part of uh a whole series and um they translated it from Hebrew to uh to English also and also several other languages Spanish French and several other ones but this is based on of this is based on the work of which is his sonf by learning his father's work put this YF together and the uh Rabbi that oversaw this um the work of the translation is also one of the Disciples of radya his name is AR Isel ban so all major people but they're not saying they're opinion here there's no opinion they every single line they have to give you a source how do you keep Shabbat what's the for this what's the AL for this where do we get it from where what's the source everything you need to know anything you have a series of books about every one of the that we have in Judaism but here in the beginning this the the Shabbat part of it is three books this is just one of them in the beginning of it talks about a few things the reward for keeping Shabbat being endless endless reward both in this world and the next World it complete it's the essence of chuva it actually uh the um says that the the rambam says in Shabbat Chapter 30 verse 15 or line 15 whoever observes a Shabbat as as the prescribes and honors it and indulges in Pleasures in its Pleasures to the best of his ability will receive an abundant reward in this world in addition to the reward set aside for him in the world to come somebody keeps Shabbat they get reward both in this world and the next World further it says in the Merit of observing Shabbat just so you know how big it is for chuva in the Merit of observing Shabbat all of one's sins can be forgiven as AB said this is in even if someone had worshiped an idol an Idol idol worshiper as people did in the generation of Enos this is a generation of the flood through observing Shabbat as the dictates not observing Shabbat like you know I observe I do K and I drive to beet observing as the AL dictates he will be forgiven for it even for idol worship That's How Strong the Shabbat is this is why kazal says violating Shabbat is like you violated the entire to violating Shabbat there's no Chua without Shabbat no such thing but then in the same book talks about a lot of different parts about the beauty of the blessing of Shabbat all types of wonderful things the same rambam the same Shabbat 30 after this one says the Mitzvah of Shabbat is equivalent to all the mitv in the combined it is the sign of the Eternal connection between the Blessed Holy One and US therefore this ISS rambam again it's not me therefore someone who transgresses any of the other MIT of the Tora is still considered a Jew all by the wicked one somebody makes a sin they forget to do prayer after they eat they go with a woman they're not supposed to be with different things they shave with a KN with a razor woman's not modest different things there unfortunately many many sins we can make he says they make a sin they're still consider the jew though Wicked but they're still a Jew but someone who publicly desecrates Shabbat drives on Shabbat smokes a cigarette in public on Shabbat or everyone knows he's smoking is considered for all Al purposes to be on the level of the member of the idolatrous nation not only is he not considered Jewish he's considered an idol worshipper not being Jewish is already bad we tell people no no no forget about not being Jewish is the least of your problems right now you considered an idol worship you consider the worst possible thing you can be what P this is R so now we see okay this is R this is where all of where do we get them from if we get them from the r now the confusion today is what does it mean to make a to sin on Shabbat in public some people say yes according to thear it says that you have to be in front of 10 people that's public sin that's Faria but that's wrong according to the it actually defines what Faria means this is actually a whole about idol worship it defines what it defines what paria means it defines what sinning in public is by looking into the story of Pinas when he killed Zim and he killed kby when they when they sinned he said but the Torah says that what gives pinhas the right to murdered two people okay they were sinning thear says yeah he sinned in public and thear says no the to specifically says that they weren't in public they were inside one of these uh Huts or something there were just two of themar says yes but everyone knew they were sinning if everyone knew they were sinning it's already considered in public meaning if even if you're not driving in front of 10 people even if you're not smoking in front of 10 people on Shabbat even if you're not watching TV in front of 10 people if 10 people know you're doing it everyone knows you're Shabbat that's Faria they don't need to see you what 10 people going to come to watch TV with you they also no 10 people know yourb that's it already so not even watching a right nothing nothing nothing can't watch TV can't play on your phone can't drive on Shabbat if they know you're doing it already it's considered this is it says so many things about it I mean we could do a whole Shure and hm will do a sh about specifically about Shabbat one day but give you guys something of just an understanding this thing when I wrote it it scared me this is what it says Sim ofin wrote in this book this is one of the sages if a Jew does not observe Shabbat he lowers himself to less than the status of a dumb Beast to achieve atonement meaning to do chuva he must be stoned to death just like we learned about that's the punishment in order for him to do chuva he has to be stoned to death if he's not stoned the connection of his soul with God and His Torah will be severed therefore this is the scary part therefore executing him meaning stoning him is actually doing him a great favor because at least he won't be violating Shabbat anymore this is not me this is this is what this is what kazal says this is what hasem says and that's one of the craziest things that people have no idea no idea that this stuff even exists so now we have ourselves a situation here if you know this story of you read this and you actually believe it to Li from hasem even thinking about violating Shabbat as a Jew becomes scary already why because if he was ever going to let it go if he was ever going to say ah you know what it's not really that big of a deal this would be the time we just had the Torah for a week we had the Torah for one week if anyone was going to make a mistake if anyone didn't feel like doing it yet they didn't get used to it yet this would be the time if he was going to let it go he going to let it go to a guy that has the book only for a week more so more likely than he's going to let go of somebody that's had the book for 3,000 years but he didn't let it go he said everything in worse that it says in and and the and several other parts in the Tora says yes yes we got the Tora last week great give the worst possible deathy doesn't matter one week two weeks one day three days and this is why when I had a couple of people call me a lot of people calling emailing it's a lot of a lot of people from all over the world are connecting they're watching the sh they're getting affected by it and some of them need some help there's no end to the suffering that many of the people in am is are suffering today and a lot of them are having health issues but one thing that they all get one thing they all get when they call me or they email me is the same type of information I don't as you've all seen already for the last year and a half we've been learning together I don't beat around the bush I don't tell you listen just keep half the Shabbat then let's see what happens no such thing this is what you have to do whether you do it or not it's up to you it's your business it's never okay to sin it's never okay to not keep hasem said it we have to do it so when I tell when I spoke to a couple of people both two people in just this last week having huge amount of health issues a year ago they were perfectly healthy and the last year disaster very similar to my story the first thing I tell him the first thing you got to do is you have to start keeping Shabbat yeah but Shabbat is when I make most of my business I said okay so now it's not no no is there something else no there isn't anything else you have to to make sure that hasem knows your Chua is genuine starting with other things is not going to do anything for you it's not going to do anything you it's like sometime you know I have unfortunately had a woman that uh she had the disease she had cancer tell listen Shabbat doesn't matter if her keep shabat don't keep she's bedridden she can't move anyway but you have to promise you have to promise that if hasem gives you health you're going to be 100% modest you're going to cover your hair your shirts are always going to cover your elbows your skirts never pants again are always going to cover your knees even after you're sitting down completely modest 100% oh but you know it's hard you're dying you're dying right now you're dying right now but is very big even on a deathbed she wasn't sure she died people don't understand Hashem is not kidding he's not kidding sad but this is this we're still alive we still have a chance like R from salant started M movement one of the greatest Minds that ever lived as long as the Candle is lit you still have a chance to do cha this is what hasem is telling us here I'm not kidding whether you had the Torah for a week or you just discovered it today or you had it for 3,000 years you just ignored it irrelevant as soon as you find out Shabbat exists you have to keep it to the best of your knowledge if you know you're not allow to drive Shabbat there's never an excuse to drive on Shabbat unless you're saving someone's life and that's what we learned from this from this par is this tiny four verse story that most people don't even know exists we have the name we have the address we have the date we have everything but most people don't know this this story exists why maybe it's not politically correct I don't know I don't know why we don't know I never heard of the story until it did chba I went to besset like everybody else once a year I never heard the story and that's the thing and you go to besset no one's going to tell you the story it's in the par it's written it's or you don't have to be a genius to understand the story this is literal Tora it's what it says I read you exactly what the verse is said you forget we didn't mention what Rashi said we didn't mention what ramb said about it the ran or the gar or the Insight secrets in we didn't mention anything literal translation this is what it says anyone that reads it can only have one understanding of the story there's no two understandings you cannot conflict so this is what happens when we're ignorant and we don't know but this is also puts the onus on the ones who do know the ones who did study Torah the ones who do call themselves rabbis and know that half their Kaya is not keeping Shabbat and they don't tell him the story during a par like this it's sin it's 100% sin who cares about when the guy is not even considered a Jew anymore you telling about okay yes there's a lot of lessons to learn from from the spies but there's also 50,000 other lectures you could hear about it what about the four verses at the end and that's the key so now we have to ask oursel why did AEM out of all the I mean there's 12 Parts in the T Shabbat is mentioned many times but there's 12 specific sections in the Tor where it says the punishment for Shabbat being cut off from the nation no not being considered Jewish death penalty and so on 12 Parts in the to 12 Parts in the mentions it but each time it's positioned strategically it's not just put somewhere because hasem doesn't have a place for it he has to stick it over here each time it's put specifically at a place number one we just learned it's right next to idol worship right next to idol worship like every other time every time mentions idol worship mentions Shabbat violation so already we know when kazal is explaining us that not only is he not considered Jewish but he's considered an idol worshipper what's the source this they didn't just make it up they didn't say no he's such a sinner we hate him no the saying consider idol worship where do we learn and every other time men that's the source because that's whyem has idol worship next to it all the time didn't just come up with their own opinion but then why here why didn't you just put it in last week's parasha we already had about a bunch of balagan in last week's parasha put it over there next week maybe why here Shem is telling you this is the reason why do people violate Shabbat in the first place that's the story of the M that's the story of the spies in essence the story of the spies in short is that Hashem promised us a land with milk and honey full of extraordinary things the land he's been promising to us for many generations all the way back to Abraham ainu we didn't take his word for it we wanted to check it out for ourself we go there but we don't just send anyone who do we send we send the 12 the 12 most important people in the entire country excluding Moshe and Aon each tribe there's millions of people each tribe had a leader that guy the best one who's chosen to be the leader the most righteous person not the one with the most money like today you want to be a politician you have to have a lot of money you want to be a top executive of the company you have to have a lot of connections not you have to be a nice guy you have to be smart you have to be skilled that doesn't matter today anymore unless you start the company you want to be go on top you have to know somebody that's why they say in the business world it's who you know not what you know the guy that knows what's going on yeah he makes the apps for us he makes the apps for the company the guy the righteous check was a d student in college but his father's a multi-billionaire so he got the job as CEO that's the world that's the that's the world of lies that we live in but here it's different here we have 12 leaders of each one of the tribes Joshua and Caleb are two of them and then 10 other the 10 other tribes the great the 12 greatest people of the land to make sure that there's no confusion they didn't know they weren't smart enough no no no you have the best people going they go there Joshua sees the good in the land he sees that hasem delivered he sees the grape is so big that eight people have to carry it back to Moshe and eight people to carry just one grape one person has to carry one pomegranate it was that big he sees the good in the land hasem saids milk and honey it's even more Caleb sees wow Holiness the is here he goes to the cave of where is buried where andov and their wives are buried it's where our history is what does he do there he prays sees the Holiness of the land what are the 10 other so-called leaders the ones that call themselves rabbis maybe what do they see they see Giants and they see giants that are very in people they're burying people these big giants which they specifically say in this par the sons of the giant The Offspring of the Giant from where from the days of the neim from the days of the generation of Noah one of the Giants OG survived why did hasm let o survive because he wanted to make sure that generation that's going to start again is going to see how big people used to be and OG was the smallest giant he was the smallest one so people say he I tell people I'm the smallest giant that existed and hasem destroyed everyone so if I'm the smallest imagine how big people were and he destroyed all of them maybe they'll have some maybe they have some fear of hem unfortunately no fear of sh 350 years of approximately After the flood they tried building the Tower of Babel to go fight God nothing changes nothing new Under the Sun just like SCH says human nature is always there what's that human nature human nature is the yet that we can't overcome why because when we don't have Tora it's impossible to overcome the now he continued and they uh his descendants and so on now you have new Giants and these 10 leaders all they see is Giants but they see the Giants are burying people now they're thinking what do they translate at they translate it as something bad saying that the yes it's great that the grapes are big and the uh pomegranates are big but apparently this land is poisonous because it's killing even the Giants this if these Giants are there's a bunch of funerals here so it must be that the land is killing them because who else would kill these Giants that's looking at things the wrong way what's the right way the right way kazal says that little do they know that Hashem was killing these Giants why so they don't look and see small little BL walking around their town and try to beat them up try to kill them so he's making sure these Giants are busy with funerals every city they go to they see there's a funeral sh is making sure they're busy with the funeral so they don't see that Joshua Caleb and the other leaders are walking around their uh their land but when you have NOA when you already started with the left foot we already lost and this is why when they report back to mosu they don't just report to them they report to them and to all of am is together to make sure they make they want to show you know you ever meet these people that want to show they want they want they think that they're on a uh on television all times you know you go on a bus the guy picks up the phone hello and he's screaming and everyone knows this conversation yeah yeah yeah I want to buy 10,000 shares buddy you're on a bus you just paid $150 like the rest of us you don't have money for 10,000 shares just sit down be quiet and who cares yeah really what it is it's like I said it yesterday really what it is he's not buying 10,000 shares of anything what is he doing it's AT&T on the other side saying you didn't pay your bills sir or the phone's going to be disconnected but what is he wants a show attention he wants attention he wants to make a show he thinks there may be some celebrity Scout say oh wow you got talent we're going to put you on TV or something people want a show that's what happened over here they wanted a show they wanted attention they wanted to publicize to all of we got ourselves a problem Hashem wasn't exactly ecstatic about this and this is what he says this is in Chapter verse 11 and 12 [Music] Hashem said to Moshe how long will these people provoke me and how long will they not have faith in me despite all the signs that I've have performed in their midst all the Miracles I made for them still they're still going against me they're talking about these Giants being stronger than me they're talking about this land is not what I promised let's Smite them with the plague and annihilate them and I shall make you a greater n a greater and more powerful Nation than they hem has had it with them says mhe aen is plural aen let Smite them even the English translation says I'll Smite them it's not I'll Smite them aen means let Smite them meaning it's plural so he's saying Moshe come on they're going against you they're going against me they're saying let's go find another leader let's go back to Egypt let's just destroy them and start a better Nation from you now you ask yourself if you a mhe how could you say you know what it's not a bad idea all they're doing they're insulting Moshe they're calling him all types of names they're telling him he's wicked they're telling him that he's killing them they're telling him all these things the opposite of what he he's been doing for them he sacrificed his life for them and all they're doing is not only complaining against them but they want to put his enemies the as the leaders to replace him and on top of that they're going against the God he he's so dear to and says let's just kill them how Moshe didn't say you know what maybe it's not a bad idea is what makes Moshe Moshe and me me cuz I would have said I think you're right Hashem I would have failed this test miserably but that was the test that was that is what makes mosenu mosu and that's the difference between between mosenu and everyone else because no one else would have been able to withstand this test what is Hashem really doing here is HEM really looking for M's opinion no he's testing him he's testing him why is he testing him he wants to see if his surroundings has influenced him the ra says doesn't change meaning is what we got from Mount Si there's which different cultures have different different cultures but this is something we got has to come from Mount sa doesn't change the rambam says in chapter six first the nature of man is to be influenced by his friends and his acquaintances meaning the nature of man the the essence of man is to be influenced by his surroundings meaning that it's impossible for you not to be influenced by who you're next to the old saying goes you are who your friends are comes from the Tor also comes from the ram Rah says you can't say listen I'm going to be surrounded by a bunch of wicked people and I'm going to make them all do chuva not possible you can go visit them influence them for a few hours leave visit leave visit leave yes that you can do that's how you do kir that's how you do you know you don't I don't go to all places righteous like you people I go to places where sometimes I you know some in Israel 60 people I had a I had a one of the lectures in Israel maybe like 60 70 people the rabbi of the kilan tells me you know after the lecture he didn't tell me before the lecture it's pretty smart he goes you know probably 75 to 80% of of the people that were in your lecture today didn't want to leave they wanted to stay learn Tora cuz I just wanted to let you know I never I never saw them sit down like this for 2 hours and they don't want to leave like yeah what what's what's why cuz they're all gangsters some of them was just starting to do chuva and stop a lot of these guys murderers this and the worst people on Earth because they learned the T they want to do chuv now you could visit you can't stay there can't say listen I going to go to a reformed sh but I'm going to be Orthodox all my friends are going to be be Christians but I'm going to be the one Jew okay ra says in he doesn't say in his in hisim in a commentary says is you are going to be changed by your surroundings and then he continues he says if you cannot find proper surrounding you can't find a good neighborhood move to the desert move to the desert you have to move to the desert why there's no one there except scorpions and snakes go there I heard a really crazy story this week it's in a uhar it's a p on this on this gar in uh tractate page 17b in the days of the wicked Romans there was a decree on am decree against is so the sages think to themselves like you know what let's send rimai he's all over the greatest sages that ever lived let's send him to the Romans he's used to Miracles he's used to Miracle he gets miracles from Hashem all the time that send him bimon goes and he's starts praying to hm he's like let's get an angel to help us I need some angels to come with me no Angels show up who shows up a demon demon comes to a shed comes to him says I'm here to help you goes you're going to help me goes yeah yeah he goes how you going to help me I'll get into the King's Daughter like a debuk a debuk is when there's two souls in in one body make her go crazy and you're going to come to the king and say listen I can take this demon out if you change this decree against my nation okay that's that that's what I could do for you what does rabish Shimon do which ended up happening by the way he went inside the uh the woman this actually the Aral says that uh crazy people like people that you know have lost their mind it's usually because there's a demon inside them that took control most most people that have like major mental issues is and they tell you they hear things it's because they do they do hear things and they do see things they do see things not they're not imagining it it's M for them it's 100% real they do hear voices they do see things says the most of them have a demon inside them skinny poor people but obviously everything everything that happens into this world it's em signs off on it nothing happens in this world for no reason whether it's someone uh losing their mind someone dying the concentration camps in uh you know in Nazi Germany which we talked about last uh last night sh I won't ruin it for you there's some K I learned this week M for me was a complete shock CU I learned about Zionism in college but the history of and so on what I learned in the past week about imim Hitler what he wrote in his book I could never imagine in so many words he tells he says in his book in his own book he writes that he hates not he doesn't care for the uh religious Jews doesn't care for them but the ones that we he says we have to annihilate we have to kill is the non-religious ones why because they're communist and what are communists Communists are people that are going against God it's my job to kill them he writes it in his book most people that especially Jews never read it number one it was in German and number two who's going to read this crazy guy's book other than people that are anti-semite already so for them it's like nice uh support to what they already believe this rabbi in Israel this year about it publicized it about a week or two ago it's unbelievable there's more to it but anyway I published the uh the video on my uh page and also the Facebook uh groups that we have and it has a um a translation has a um subtitles in English also so anyway back to rimai you just got yourself a demon the end of the story goes where the demon actually went into the daughter she was going crazy Rish Shimon came and he says I can take out this demon if you remove the decree against my nation they agree and he tells the demon to leave and the demon leaves and everything the decree is off but thear doesn't say that here the gar says that as soon as the demon says I'm here to help you I could do this this and this starts crying and he says when he cries the slave of Abraham a haar Saw Three Angels the slave ofu Saw Three Angels when she started crying Hashem sent her three angels and we can't even get [Music] one this isim it's not me it's not anyone here in the Our Generation he says Three Angels she got ha the slave of we can't even get one so the story I heard this week was razi he was the rabbi of the a lot of the secrets most of the secret parts of the uh mystical part of the Torah we learned from him thei was his Rabbi you just understand how big he was and he wrote in his book why was rabish Shimon so upset you got a demon that's it what's the problem demon Angel you got your help what are you so upset about says actually he has a reason to be upset because we find a k here he says that at that time at that time the time of R shim this forget about our time at the time of R shimai there was so many Sinners that the Angels were scared to come down down why because if they come down they get infected by the sin which means that when they try to go upazi says when the angels have to go back up they're dirty so they have to go through Gom first to burn the sins off of them so this so the angel was saying listen I'm sorry I I I can't come down for this I can't come down for this I'm not going to Gom for you this isn't the generation of the sages that wrote the the us where we are today imagine [Music] that R Shak wrote in his book first chapter Al why did theem command ainuu knew that everywhere he went he converted people why Didu command why did command leave your town leave your father leave the town go to a place he didn't even tell him where why sh writes a he says that hasem was scared that eventually will be influenced Abu will be influenced by the public by the surrounding area next to him all these Idol worshippers all these K all these homosexuals all these people that give Bar Mitzvah to dogs all those people he goes you have to leave you can't be next to these people go to the desert like the ra says if you can't find a good surrounding go to the desert be by yourself you have to even abah a had to abah ainu this is this is the forefather of Judaism so if the forefather of Judaism was forced to leave a bad environment who has an excuse to live next to one of these nightclubs who has an excuse to live next you know in in these neighborhoods like the village in the city in Manhattan surrounded by homos sexuals and other types of Heretics who has the nerve to say that they're being a kosher Jew or Kosh or even non-jew living in Las Vegas Living in San Francisco where it's some somebody told me this that they actually check this statistically the most amount of animal homosexuality in the world animal homosexuality in the world is in San Francisco my God yeah just like the generation of Noah where the sins of the people led to the sins of the animals and therefore hasem destroyed all of them it's happening now also and anyone that wants to say no we should be nice to them you know they it's it's a it's a uh they're born this way I'm not saying kill them let's not misunderstand but you can never ever say the hashm agrees with them you can never ever say that it's not disgusting to Hashem you can never ever say it's 100% sin that in the Torah just like Shabbat is connected to idol worship violation of Shabbat is connected to idol worship violation of a sex crime like homosexuality is always connected to beastiality it's always connected to having sex with an animal always every time every time we've G I think in a couple of Sho over here we said it also every time hasem mentions homosexuality in the Tor he say it's the same thing to bity which bity you ask people even today despite the generation being so low they'll say ah it's disgusting okay to hasem homosexuality is the same thing lesbian the same thing there no such thing as a uh gray area it's black or white it's never acceptable now somebody says yes but what if somebody's born with that desire well the zor says everyone is born with a desire everyone has a certain desire that they're born with some people have born with a desire to see blood see blood they have a desire for blood Hashem made them that way now they can use that desire for a few different things the obvious choice they can become a murderer serial killer apparently today it's become a uh Trend to kill people especially in in America these days so they can join these crazy group of people not a good choice but they have a desire for blood or they can become a butcher or they can become a surgeon and save lives same desire different choices and that's the thing that people need to understand yes Hashem gave you that desire but you can use it for good or for bad every desire and also just because you have a desire doesn't mean you have to act on it that is what separates us from animals that is why hasem calls homosexuality the same thing as bestiality as an animal why because the animal can't control itself it's Instinct 100% instinct mankind it's not supposed to be Instinct it's supposed to be you make choice just because you have a desire does not mean you have to do it okay you have a desire for a same-sex uh uh relationship great you're born that way I'm sorry for you doesn't mean you have to do it does not mean you have to do it that is what separates you from being an animal you have a desire to drive on Shabbat because you want to go car racing okay find another day to do it you have a desire to steal find a different thing so what so people are getting to a point where they're not only saying it's okay in our generation but they're celebrating them they're celebrating homosexuality saying no come on God God is uh understanding God accepts them God created them that way how come they don't say that about kleptomaniacs or pyromaniacs somebody that has a desire he can't control his desire to steal why don't you invite him to your house no rob my house okay but it's his desire let him go why why who are you to tell him not to do it what it's his desire let him steal in your house what's the big deal you're helping him what do you mean helping him he's destroying my house but it's his desire he's born that way mkin poor guy what poor guy he's stealing all my stuff what about Pyromania guy likes to burn things invite him to your Shabbat dinner what do you mean invite him he's going to burn my house but it's his desire M hasem created him that way you should help him out what do you mean help him out he's going to burn my house yeah but it's hasem created them that way why do they say that why because they know it's wrong and just like they know it's wrong for pyromaniac and every other crazy desire they also know that homosexuality is is wrong there is no there is no gray area it's black or white you have a choice you either be righteous or Wicked you either have or you don't simple as against and that's why the rambam is telling us here if you have you even want to have a chance a chance of being righteous you have to make sure your surroundings are okay because if your surroundings are not okay you have no [Music] chance now people think that the sages the power the the Miracles and stuff like that it's all gone it doesn't happen there was a made sadik a miracle worker also by name of Baba Sali just generation ago he was still alive when I was a kid I think yeah a lot of Safar houses have his picture on of course Moroccans have it major made sadik was more modest than the biggest raban in the world not talking about men I'm talking about women he's more modest than any woman in the world that's how modest he was cover his hair cover his body everything all the time that's how modesty was made a lot of Miracles and he was very very adamant about not being allowed to wear a wig not allowed to wear a wig in Judaism even though there's some rabbis that say you are even the ones that say you are most people misunderstood them they're not saying that it's better than a k with a scarf or with a hat they're saying if that's the only choice we have it's better to have a wig than nothing at all but nonetheless it's only only a couple of rabbis that said it it's not like a whole generation of people said it not a whole generation of s sages said it but nonetheless this is only a problem in the last couple of generations this wasn't a problem you know 400 500 years ago but the Baba says listen we are going according to M no wigs never allowed doesn't matter short we long wig one of his family members like I think a uh a granddaughter or something like that made fun of it n oh no he said that a woman that wears a wig a woman that wears a wig is preparing for herself the chemical she's going to be burned with and G this is what the babaali said so one of his family members granddaughter or something like that made fun of it ah well you know what at least there's not much uh to burn me with cuz my wig is short and as she tells the story the minute she finished that sentence she got a headache okay everybody gets headaches you didn't think much of it but the headache gets stronger and stronger and stronger and it didn't go away a day a week a month two months Doctors Hospitals scans no one knows what's wrong she's going crazy she has no idea what to do few months like this headache 24s was a day she eventually gets to a senses apparently and she calls the Babas Sali and she apologizes he says please please make this stop he goes only you can make it stop take off the wig she took off the wig and stopped she covered her head with a scarf stopped instantly power of sikim is not something to uh uh to joke around with it's m it's someone that's completely connected to Tor to that extent you have to not only listen to them but uh you have to make sure that uh you give them the honor that they deserve so now we know the significance of Shabbat we know the significance of not following sadim we know that hem has had it with already in this but in reality he's just testing Moshe and M responds no Hashem if you kill them that what are the Nations going to say that you are going to bring them to the land and since there were giants in the land you really couldn't give it to them so you decided to just annihilate them so then the whole purpose of this world is to sanctify your name is to do K the only reason we're all alive the only reason this world exists is to sanctify the name of Hashem someone asked me recently what's the purpose of life life it's a very common question everyone should ask themselves this question at some point of their life because if you think about what kazal said there was an argument between and about whether it was worth it for man to come to this world or not 2 and 1/2 year argument but conclusion of the argument anyone want to guess it wasn't worth it for man to come to this world it was better off not coming why because there's more ways for us to sin than there for us to make MIT but if a man then the next part of the argument is but if man is already here which obviously is beyond his choice or hard choice if man is already here and he does MIT then it was worth it for him to come to this world because then he gets Eternal reward but if he comes to this world and waste time spending all of his time chasing money chasing women chasing men chasing publicity chasing cavod chasing all types of nonsense of this world then definitely worth wasn't worth it for him to come to this world because then he's just going to have eternal punishment but if he's going to come to this world already then it was worth it for him if he makes me but that's our end but the real question is why did Hashem create us he's perfect he's perfect he doesn't need us you don't actually change anything in his stature by making a Mitzvah he was perfect before us he'll be perfect after us during us what's the point so kazal tells us that AEM is all good and when you're good you have a desire to create good this is the reason why for example if someone wants to have a a a fun they want to have a party they don't just have a party in their head unless they're crazy what do they do they invite guests why because it's more fun when there's more people why just clapping by you can listen to their music okay maybe 15 minutes and that's it but if you have everybody coming and celebrating then it's more fun why because you want to share it you you have good you want to share good it's a natural it's a natural connection between good is to is to create good same thing with for example Sports Arenas or any major events they make with big stadiums why big stadiums why is it not a private show why do people not just watch it on television they'll spend thousands and thousands of dollars on front row tickets why because you're part of an environment you're part you're sharing the experience and when you share something it feels good this is also the reason why a lot of very very rich people towards the end of their life mostly but even during some sometimes during their life they make major donations some of them do it purely for tax purposes some of them do it purely for publicity they'll donate I don't know they have a 100 billion and they'll donate $100 million which is like $5 to us just to uh you know to get some publicity because they want more C they want more people to respect them but some actually do because they want to create good why because and at the end it doesn't matter how much money you have it's still money it's still material it's still worthless it still doesn't change your heart so you want to create something that will change your heart and by creating good you have an impact so now hasem is good and wanted to create good but what's this good what's the purpose of this good that he's creating what benefit does he have out of this creation for them to sanctify his name why because if he created a bunch of creatures that are just going against against them everyone's just going against them it already happened when flood Noah Noah's the flood of during the generation of Noah they went against AEM he doesn't need them I created you you're supposed to do good supposed to sanctify my name you're doing the opposite I don't need you destroy them it doesn't change his status which means that the ultimate purpose of your reason for existence is to sanctify aem's name which means that if you're not spending some time every day sanctifying hashem's name you're not fulfilling your purpose you have no purpose and a lot of people spend their entire life completely being purposeless but Hashem gives them time because they have potential maybe one day they'll do it but that's the that's the real reason for existence that's the only reason why would allow us to even create be created because good wants to create good and that good that he created will also create good by sanctifying hm's name so it's a continuous cycle of good but if the creation is not fulfilling the will of the Creator it has no purpose you have to replace it with something else you have to replace it with something good then because if it's not good it's bad and you can't have bad you can't have the One Drop of Poison in the bottle you have to pour out the bottle or just get a new bottle with pure water and that's one of the most important things the person needs to understand when it comes to the will of hasem we have an opportunity to benefit he's already okay he'll be okay with us without us before us after us during us he's okay only one that can win or lose Is Us what's the key to all of it if we notice here hasem says that is tested him 10 [Music] times in chapter 14 starts with verse 20 it says and Hashem said after he decided that uh he's not going to destroy all of them M pleaded their case okay we'll just make sure they all know that all of them are going to die anyone that's over the age of 20 is going to die in a desert they're never going to see so says here that no one lived past the age 60 so but it had to be 40 years meaning that if someone was 20 then hasm would let him live 40 years until the age 60 but all of these people that didn't have faith in me they're going to die in a desert but their children are going to see the land their children the child was 5 years old 6 years old he's going to see the land so they're going to be in a desert for 40 years and they're never going to enter it so much so that this was a suffering every year that every year everyone had a common Birthday everyone would celebrate R sh as their birthday and every year on R sh they would all dig Graves and they would sleep in the grave why because no one knew if they're going to survive after and it's not fair to leave 50 60,000 bodies for people to bury so the whole nation would sleep in Graves except the women and children so they suffered for this for a long time but why and Hashem said are forgiving because of your word I forgave them okay I'll let it go I'm not going to kill them right now because of you mhe you're prayer special but as I live which means that hasem is swearing on his own name just like I exist I'm Eternal my word is eternal and the glory of hem shall fill the entire world which kazal says this means that by the time this punishment is over their children are going to know who hasem is meaning that they're going to develop because they're going to see their parents grow up but they're not allowed in even though you're 5 minutes away from it right now you're not allowed to go in that all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness and have tested me these 10 times and have not heeded my voice if they will see the land that I have sworn to give their forefathers and all who anger me shall not see it all of these people that didn't have munai in me they're not going to see the land but here the key part I want to focus on is that hem is specifically mentioning 10 tests and this is in essence will put all of the things we learn into perspective of what's the point these 10 times the sages take this this is also in chapter 5 Mish four says what are these 10 tests first test when the Egyptians chased them to the Sea of reeds we're in front of the Sea of reads we just left hashm destroyed the Egyptians everything went fine we got to the ocean we have an ocean where would he go Hashem no response we look back we see the Egyptians what happens you all these Miracles why you what are you worried about you have a pillar of fire you have a pillar of cloud you have money you have this you have that hasm did everything for you what happens has no they get worried let start complaining to AEM complaining to Moshe complaining about Hashem next test when they had nothing to drink in theit but the bitter Waters of mar we went to a lake we want to get some water but all the water was bitter started complaining to Moshe about hasem third test when they ran out of food the food what would you bring us to the desert to starve and kill us you didn't just you were better off uh just living in Egypt as slaves fourth test when they left the Mana over even though they've been told not to hasem told them listen specifically everything that I give you Mana eat it all I'll give you something new tomorrow they still left some over for the next day which turned into worms and maggots because they weren't sure's going to actually give it to them the next day fifth is when they left the camp to gather mana on Shabbat even though they've been told not to he said no listen mana the one on Friday is going to be enough for you for Friday and Saturday what happened people didn't trust it they still went on Shabbat tried look for looking for Mana course seven test is when their water ran out at they didn't have any water they thought that they're going to die from thirst next test is when they worship the golden calf mosenu is up at the mountain he's getting the Torah the only reason this world exists the purpose of creation is to get this Torah and fulfilled item created the Torah 974 Generations before he created the world which means that it was more important than mankind if the Torah was not around there would be no no mankind there's no point for mankind instead of being excited for this Torah they make a mistake and go worship an idol the worship an idol the rest of don't say anything hasem wants to destroy all of them the ones that worship an idol and the ones that didn't say anything next test after the golden calf is when they rebelled against aem's mitv this is an interesting one we actually learned it recently just in last week's Paras in um chapter 11 verse 1 last week's the people took to seeking complaints it was evil in the ears of Hashem and Hashem heard and his wrath f Ed and the fire of hem burned against them and it consumed them at the edge of the camp tells us that over here the complainers the again fired again and started creating nonsense to complain about wasn't any real reason to complain said no we don't have meat what do you mean you have millions and millions of cows go Slaughter one eat meat Tavon you know enjoy you want chicken you have a bunch of chickens you want whatever you need eat but no they're creating complaints and their leaders don't say anything again just like the time of the uh golden calf so what does hasem do in last week's Paras he burns all the leaders m not all the people all the leaders why because if the leaders are not going to rebuke Nation they're worthless if a rabbi is not going to tell people the truth he's worthless what's the point of learning to if you're not going to share it says someone that learns T without an intention to teach it but it doesn't mean teach it just to say stories teach what he learned teach what hasm said about Shabbat teach what it says about nid teach what he said about kosher the real laws not half the to the whole thing is like someone who doesn't have a God if you're learning to without a without a a intention to teach it you're the same thing as someone who doesn't have a God why because as we said good has a need to create good so if you're learning my Torah and you're not getting good out of it then you're not learning my Tor it's something else it's not my for you it's a history book and the Z says some someone that thinks that the Tor or even says that the Tor intentionally says it tor is a history book loses his right to live he has no point of actually living he has no right to live every second person in today's generation says it's a history book so here's the test where we wanted to just complain to Hashem and then the last test when they complained that the Mana was not good the tired of it Mana couldn't be not good it's any taste you want if you desire steak it's a taste of a steak if you desire chicken it's Taste of a chicken you desire ice cream it's you know it's the uh Taste of a chicken of a of a ice cream whatever you want how could it not be good meaning that they just wanted to create complaints and then obviously this test of this week's par of the uh saying bad uh words about the land of Israel which is calling AEM a liar they even said he changed the color too right yes so these are the 10 tests these are the T 10 failures of am but why are we focusing focusing on this and why does this connect everything because in essence if you look at each one of these tests it gives us the real desire of Hashem from us to such an extent that it might as well being imp planted in our head this is a commandment meaning when hasem says I am your God that took you out of Egypt first commandment obviously we know we were there we know you're us outest he's saying here it's not about I am God I know you know I'm God you hear my voice you just died I woke you up I of course you know but I need you to believe in it meaning I need you to havea withouta we cannot have a relationship without having amuna there is no relationship not having is sin it's 100% sin how do we know 10 tests every one of the tests what was the failure failure of Amun we didn't actually make sins by complaining it's not an actual sin by not liking a certain food is not actually a sin by saying listen it's there's a bunch of giants in this land it's not an actual sin by being scared at yam it's not an actual sin you're scared by being concerned that your kids don't have food it's not an actual sin it's not one of the 613 Commandments what's the sin of all of these all 10 tests no the only reason you were scared at yam is because you had no that I could do something yet that I'm bigger than the sea I'm bigger than the Egyptians even after all of the people of of saw the Miracles in Egypt you still had no who had from the tribe of the son of Amad the tribe of Judah he Hada he went into the water until the water passed his nose and that's when Hashem split the ocean why he showed us amuna having amuna is not I believe I believe I believe like a lot of non-religious people say no no I believe in my heart I believe in my heart me and hm are okay no no believing is meaningless believing means that you have to take action saying in your heart throw it in the garbage send AEM a postcard it's worth probably more than you believing in your heart you have to take action showed his faith said didn't that was the first test that was the first sin that was the first provoke uh uh provoking that they did against me took it defensively second one they concern about the water the water being bitter didn't he just show you a bunch of miracles in Egypt didn't he just split the ocean for you why did he can't he doesn't have control over this uh little bit of water to turn it into something sweet what is that no again what Happ how does this affect us today thinking to ourselves that hasm is limited when people are sick they pray to Hashem everybody's a sadik you go to hospice centers you go to Kon centers everyone's religious the same guy that was an atheist last week he becomes religious all of a sudden he prays to hm doesn't the same way that you're supposed to but all of a sudden he's praying to hm because he has no choice but the same guy in his business oh Hashem put me in this world to work seven days a week no he didn't put you in world to work seven days a week he put you in this world to keep Shabbat he put you in this world to fulfill the Torah he put you in this world to do Kem sanctify his name not to work seven days a week that's that's that's heresy against AEM that's a person that thinks Hashem is limited Hashem is limited yeah he created the world they say he created heaven he spoke to abah he spoke to Moses yeah all those wonderful stories but he could do all of those things except my parasa Mya I have to work for it my P I have to work for like this one woman calls me she says listen I uh can't find a z can't find somebody to be with and I want to be with somebody I want to get married okay what meets what you keeping virtually nothing virtually nothing like half of Shabbat sometimes yes sometimes no Kosher but only in the house when we go out we eat whatever so pretty much nothing then I ask okay why would hasm do anything for you you should be grateful you still alive grateful you're alive that he didn't kill you already violating all these s okay okay so I keep I'll keep I'll keep okay so you start keeping but what happens listen I found somebody oh great miracle yeah but there's only one problem what's the problem oh he's not Jewish why you playing with an atomic bomb is there something wrong with you didn't did I just tell you that you have to keep do so things get better what are you doing y even the go know were not allowed to marry them don't people what happens she thought God is limited no no he send him to me he send me this guy maybe I I'm supposed to convert them you're not even keeping mitv yet you want to convert somebody you have to learn enough for you you want to learn just to be basic to keep the basic get used to the basics if he wants to convert on his own let him convert and if hasem wills it you'll be together but if you're not together already it's a different story if you're already married for 15 years and you just figured out hey by the way we have to do chuva which is like my story it's a different story but if you haven't started yet and you already have an intention to convert the guy or convert the girl then it's where are you going with this this is not the will of hem isn't that what hasem sent you to the world to do you're notu he sent you to make a choice he gave you a test okay he started keeping Shabbat good for you you officially became a Jew oh you're eating kosher all the time good for you now you can start learning some T and understanding it because your soul is not impure oh you're starting to be modest great now you're not making the public sin every 3 seconds when they look at you cuz every sin we make according to the creates a demon a woman that's not modest is creating demons not sto they all walk out after her people don't know this we said we want over this in the wasting seed uh lecture in New York okay so you modest now great but then she says no no but Hashem it's great he did all these things but appar he hasn't sent me my Z yet so I guess I have to go find him so she goes finds a non-jew or he goes finds a non-jew thinking no no Hashem sent them to me no hasm did not send it to you he did not send them to you if you're already in a situation before you had CH maybe yes maybe no we don't know but the point is just saying that any random things you're creating that that's the will of hem it's not it Mak 99.9% of the time it's test what happens no just like we didn't believe that Hashem was able to handle nature he was able to handle the water little bit of water he couldn't handle he was able to make ice and lava in the same ball fall only on the heads of the Egyptians but he can't take it out of water what is that lack of amuna next test is we ran out of food again AEM fed you every single day you have cattle you have everything you possibly need food's going to come to you from sham what do you complaining about stop complaining for no reason think about it this way if you had a meeting with LA you know made a huge difference yeah a king in the real world in this world that the the fake World actually that we live in right now King billionaire control and so on imagine somebody's meeting this King you have to wait two years to to finally have a meeting with this king and the guy says you know what yeah King thank you for meeting me oh okay so how can I help you the guy says oh you know what I just need one thing oh sure sure that's the point you waited two years for the meeting what do you need my son what do you need I just need you to tell the gab to put the nail back in the wall next to my seat King looks at him he says what what what he wants to this nail no no that's all I want King I I just want you to put the nail back in the wall next to my seat why what do you care about this nail goes no there used to be a nail in the wall and you know I could scratch my back could scratch my shoulders I scratch my lower back but there's a spot in my back that I can't reach and there used to be a nail on the wall and I would scratch my back but then the nail fell off and I wanted to put a new one but the gabai won't let me but if you tell him King you tell him your highness he'll put it back the king says that's all that's all you want in the world goes yeah yeah that's all I want that's us that's us every day what do we do we have an opportunity to meet hasem every day you pray you have an opportunity to talk to hem every day you learn T you have an opportunity to meet hem every day you have an opportunity to talk to hem the king of all Kings the creator of all creations what do we ask for oh Hashem listen I hope I get to work on time all right fine it's it's good to ask forem for every little thing but what about listen hasem make me connected to you make me understand the purpose of life you're already going to talk to hm ask for something big something meaningful let me understand why I'm even in this world let me fulfill my mission let me be the one that actually sanctifies your name in a world full of garbage let me do something let me be a little mini mosenu or something let me do something let me be the one that actually is a lead give me the strength to say the truth when no one wants to say the truth and I'm surrounded by Liars give me the strength Hashem okay don't ask him for a nail okay you want to ask for the nail ask for the nail if you're crazy you want the nail take the nail but at the same you have a meeting with hasem ask for something big already do something significant in the world and that's the problem what we complaining complaining about food complaining about food hem is giving you destroy the biggest civilization in the world you're worried a little bit of food he's going to kill you he brought you all the way here just so you could starve you pointless complaints We complain to about nonsense all the time we never ask ourselves what's the good and what's happening to me right now um about those people that they were really religious those people that were complaining were they religious were they're keeping in his SPS at that point uh this is actually before we got to Torah but in essence they uh were going up the spiritual ladder from being in the 49th level of Tuma 49th level of impurity in Egypt that by the time they got to mount saai which is 50 days later they were the 49th level of Kusa they were the holiest people that ever lived so they were already they were going in the right direction whether they got there at this point or not they were still okay but stilla is something if you don't work on it it it'll never develop Anda is a muscle it's a spiritual muscle someone wants to build muscles they go to the gym they lift weights they go home they look at themselves in the mirror I remember that's what I used to do as a kid cuz I used to lift weights you look at yourself in the mirror and you oh wow muscles are so big cuz you think that's the most important thing in life you have no clue what's going on in actual reality and you see that your body is Puffy now if you actually took a scan of your body it be very scary why because under the reason why it's puffy is because Under the Skin the entire muscle is ripped that's why it's puffy that's why for example if someone gets you know punched or gets hit somewhere becomes swollen why because everything under it broke it ripped what do you do when you work out you rip your muscles ripped your muscles you ripped that's why they call somebody that's you know very physically fit ripped your muscles are always ripped but in essence in everyone with that wants to succeed knows that in working out they know that they have to rip their muscles which NE is painful but in order for them to grow you have to rip them in order for youra to grow Hashem has to rip you he has to get you to go through hardship your experience is either going to build your amuna or destroy it it's up to you to decide what it does for you hem is going to give it to you one way or another you could either use your experience as pure suffering where there's some people that if they have NOA everything to them is suffering the kids crying they're suffering from that they're late to work they're suffering from that they arrive to work they're suffering from that somebody talks to them a certain way and they don't like it they're suffering from that everything they're suffering from whether it's good bad or indifferent everything is a form of suffering for them they're always miserable why because they don't believe there's an actual purpose for anything because they have NOA when you have NOA you have no connection to hasem everything is a form of suffering but when you start realizing that everything you do has a purpose everything that hasem puts in your path has a purpose there's no more suffering oh I guess Hashem you start thinking of ideas why is hm doing this I guess maybe I got a flat tire because hasem is actually saving my life here because if I went to regular speedom I get into an accident that's probably ahead of me oh I didn't get this job because Hashem knows the people that run this company are crooked they're criminals and if I come here they're going to influence me just like the rambam says from next to them they're going to influence me and I'm going to become a myself so I didn't get this job oh this potential Z this potential person I wanted to meet she didn't call me back oh maybe she was the wrong person for me you start thinking about instead of looking at them as bad you start thinking about how is HEM helping me with this what wonderful thing is hasem doing for me and then you could start living because without it you're dying a little bit every day a piece of you dies with every failure got a flat eye can't believe it what bad luck I have the girl didn't call you back see I'm never going to find a wife the job you didn't get it see I'm going to die from Hunger everything is bad oh the customer didn't want to buy see I'm going to go homeless my family my kids are going to be starving this month everything is bad all of us it's the same thing same thing happened to both people but without amuna you're dying that's why the word emit emit is the signature of Hashem the signature of hm so in order to be connected to is telling you you have to know that's my signature and has three parts which is the AL which is to do things in order to actually show we have this and Tora which is to know what to do so that's the three letters but if you take out the AL you take out the you only have which spell the word what does met mean dead withouta you're dead and that's the thing so without everything for us is suffering if you're suffering already you already feel like you're dying this is what happens when we limit AEM when we say he can't change the water to Sweet we're limiting Hashem when we say that we're not going to have he's not going to send us food we're limiting Hashem he's not going to send us pal we're limiting hem constantly limiting hem next thing we said that you know he told us to keep the Shabbat what happen said no but if we keep Shabbat we're not going to have money for Sunday cu no no no I gave you enough money on Friday for both for everything just like the sevene he told the Jews stop working on the on the sixth year and you'll have enough to survive the sixth year the seventh year in the eighth year all the way to the ninth year you're going to get triple if you're planning on doing it from the beginning that's what you got on the sixth year you got enough for three years because you got for the sixth year the seventh year you can't Harvest and the eighth year until everything starts growing it's already the ninth year so you need enough money for enough uh Surplus on the sixth year for the eighth year also you have to have in order to fulfill this mitvah no you're thinking that hm is limited you're not going to get it and that's what happened with here where they said no give it to us on Friday but maybe it's not going to be enough maybe it's but but he said it's going to be enough but maybe it's not but but Hashem said not I said Hashem said it's going to be enough but maybe not so it sounds it sounds like it's crazy but that's actually us every day maybe I need to get a second job no you don't you don't need to get a second job maybe I should you know dress a little bit less mod so I could find a uh spouse easier no you don't need to do that sh want to send you the right spouse I'll send it to you with you being a sadik but maybe my husband's not going to like my when I cover my hair in time he'll love it when he actually realizes the significance of it stay strong maybe I should cheat this one customer because he has extra money no you don't need to change cheat the guy whatever hasem dictated and wrote for you on you're going to get his you're going to get it you don't have to cheat anyone every time we have doubt we're doing the same thing that the that the um the spies the M were doing we're doing the same exact thing that is was making mistakes year after year water ran out same limitation of hem rebelling against the MIT of hem thinking complaining for no reason again limiting oura and hasem again anuna test every one of these tests saying that Hashem can't can't beat these Giants limiting hem in essence what Hashem is telling us here is if you have no imun in me we have no real relationship you believe in a different God not the god of am because the god of is the god of the Tor he's not limited your God is limited I'm not limited he says the one you believe in yeah he's limited I don't think you should believe in him either me the creator of the world I'm not limited when you say I'm limited you're making a sin a very very big sin so much so to the point that a few of these sins a few of these 10 tests hasem almost destroyed the entire people for it for them to say listen there's a bunch of giants over there and the grapes are big and so on it's not really a sin what's the sin that they actually had no and this is what obligates US it obligates us to start looking at things differently start looking at your experiences as a reward as something that's going to get you prepared for the ultimate test the ultimate test of life without it you're never going to be righteous you're never going to be the guy that sanctifies hashem's name you're never going to be the woman that is the that's walking around instead of the you need these tests and hm is sending you them every single day just like he did them he has this par written for us not because he wants to write about his own Nation he has this par so we could learn what not to do why because the only reason they did it is because they had NOA and here he's telling you if you have NOA every single day there's almost no purpose for you to live that's why I almost wanted to destroy them but even after I forgave them they continued with no and when you have no it's very easy for you to be a very easy for you because you don't really believe that I created the Heaven and the Earth 100% you believe somebody else made it cuz if you believe that I created the Heaven and the Earth then you'd also know that I'm not limited so if you're don't believe it you don't have auna you'll have a hard time keeping Shabbat eventually and if you don't keep Shabbat same par says also what is it you're the same thing as the idol worshipper to help all of you men that are less spiritual than women I gave you a mitvah a woman can get to the heart OFA to our prayer and tears very easy for a woman to develop because a woman is much more spiritual than a man but a man at the end of this par he gives you a way to do it also what is it last paragraph of this Paras chapter 15 verse 37 all the way until the end of Paras verse 37 to to 40 this is the second half of hem said to Moses speak to the children of Israel and say to them that they shall make themselves tiit on the corners of their garments throughout their Generations meaning it's an eternal mitvah it's not just for now and they shall Place upon the a of each Corner a thread of turquoise wool says we know this turquoise color came from a kazon a certain bug or snail uh that its blood was blue we no longer have this kazon so we no longer have the true authentic turquoise color that the uh or it's called in Hebrew uh that we have in the Tora so we're not obligated this this specific mitvah of turquoise or is on hold sometimes you see people wearing a blue string on their but there's no saying whether it's the right one or wrong one either way some people want to do it you don't you're not obligated to do it but then he says this specific Mitzvah what's it for it shall constitute for you this is going to be a for you that you may see it and remember all the Commandments of hem and perform them so just to remind you this T is to remind you I'm God and if you know I'm God you have to perform all my Commandments and not to explore after your heart or after your eyes after which you stray why after your heart and after your eyes because your heart and your eyes are going to be the ones that lead you to sin if in instead of your mind you follow your heart If instead of your feet moving forward you follow your eyes you're only going to sin and when you sin the more you sin the more you disconnect from Hashem the more you disconnect from hem the more impossible it becomes to be considered alive meaning you cannot havea in sin at the same time the two contradict each other if you have really it becomes more difficult difficult to sin if you have no it's very easy to sin because you don't really believe so that's the most important part that we see here what so how does he's saying to you this T you're going to wear the simple clothes you're going to wear first of all you get a mitvah every second you wear it and second of all it's the one that's going to remind you of me remind me of you remind you of me and last but not least it's your path to starting your journey because once you think of me all the time CU you're looking at your you're going to start connecting me to everything around you whether it's why the tree fell or why the accident happened or why you were late to work or why you didn't make the same amount of money that you thought you going to make you're going to start connecting everything to me and when you connect everything to me that's the beginning of amuna beginning of a then you're alive any questions thank you again for learning some Tora with me always enjoy the here next week we have a sh both in bokeh on Tuesday everyone's always welcome and then Wednesday we have a sh in aventor the same place we did last time uh the the lighthouse project uh last week last time it was a very good shoe we had maybe like 60 people but I think this this time it probably be even more maybe like 100 or so people so definitely come the CDs are doing amazing a lot of people already ran out I'm waiting for the next order of CDs uh and uh thank you for everyone that sponsored them that's giving them out you have more people to to give them out to let me know please it's uh one big Rabbi said this in last night sh one big Rabbi in uh in Jerusalem told me you have to say this in your and personally I wouldn't say this if you didn't obligate me to do it but he says you have to say this in yes shoe and because it seems like it's I'm trying to promote myself even though I don't make any money from these CDs or anything this all for but he says you have to say this says what he says tell them this is his words tell them you know he knows the material that's on these CDs says tell them that these anyone that sponsors these CDs like sponsoring a thousand of these CDs they have to look at it in a way as if they're saving a thousand Souls from a place much worse than ashit because these Souls without actually knowing what's on the what's on the CD without knowing what Hashem is really telling us they're lost the lost and I told yeah but they have to get other cities he goes no no you have the material tell them yours
