Pay attention to small things, like a chazzan who is not kosher!!!

that's what was saying and I heard this from again and he says that it's not that you don't get the reward but when you start missing out on these small MIT and taking them like they don't really matter it's not really a big deal okay so the sh is not the most Orthodox place in the world but it still has a SE it's worth $150,000 okay but hm didn't tell you to go to a with a $150,000 he told you to go to a that's kosher that has at least 10 people that do you have a if there's no there's no point of going to Sho there's no for going to sh when it's a bunch of violators of Shabbat if there's no just pray at home it's the same thing or go to a different sh the whole point of going to sh is for you to have a m that's it there's no other reason right if there's no Manan you're better off staying home if you want maybe you'll have better kav nobody's disturbing you I personally sometimes I can't go to sh I'm either going to sh or I'm flying around I can't always go to a Sho so if I have a I have to go to a flight so sometimes I have to pray by myself I can tell you from personal experience not just for myself but many of my students tell me the same thing is that sometimes I have actually more times than not I have a much better prayer when I Pray by myself than when I pray CH much better pray I pray by myself I take my time I think I focus I'm not hearing Anyan with his voice saying this saying that I'm not paying attention to anybody next to me if they finish before me or they're doing too slow or too fast you know when you have people around you it's very easy to get distracted so when I Pray by myself I'm in my own world I don't look at the time I don't know how long it takes all I know is I do it I talk to Hashem and whenever I'm done I'm done and it's amazing and I have this it's it's a great prayer but sometimes I go to sh 500 people in SHO I can't do it you're supposed you know the whole point is maybe you know you have more people more power more no sometimes it doesn't work for me sometimes yes sometimes no so you would think that maybe it's better for you to stay at home and pray at home all the time no the value of a is very very valuable in sh how so when you pray by yourself your prayer comes to shm and it knocks on hashem's door and the only going to open it if you have the Merit meaning they're going to review everything before they let you in to meet AEM see wait who's this guy knocking an adult praying by himself let me see oh oh you're the the guy that uh walks around with a tank top all the time not modest or you're the guy that uh eats salad and not kosher places thinking that it's okay oh you're the guy that's not really focusing on the prayer right now he's thinking about his business you're the 50/50 guy no we're not letting you in your prayer okay you you get the mitvah of praying but as far as getting the answers that you want come back next week come back next week come back later tonight and I'll with quality right so now you go by yourself they're going to check you but now when you pray with the kosher it's a different ball game why CU hem is merciful so what does he do he takes the best piece of everyone so this guy the beginning of the prayer powerful but then right after it he started thinking about the baseball game the beginning of his prayer amazing the next 45 minutes nothing another guy first five minutes not good but the second five minutes powerful so Hashem takes his piece and his peace but then they both are then it takes a third guy third guy the next the the third part the next 15 minutes later powerful the first he did the kadish so on had meaning so what does Hashem do Hashem takes the best of everyone's pieces and puts it together and everyone's prayers get to Hashem and everyone gets VIP treatment because now you have it's considered as if everyone has a perfect prayer because he's using the best pieces of everyone but here's the here's the problem here is the problem this is only the prayers of the people that are not the not the ones that are stealing in their business or gambling at casinos or going with married women or violating Shabbat or eating non koser no this is of the people that are at least trying to be righteous they're the ones that he counts because the guy that's violating Shabbat thear says specifically Tora says specifically his prayer is considered you know what to means toat means disgusting it means disgusting to hem his prayer is disgusting to Hashem why is it disgusting he says wait a minute think about this logically you just shot 50 people in my Army you're my enemy you launched an atomic bomb by turning on your car at 8:00 in the morning on Shabbat and and then you turned off the car it's another atomic bomb and then you pressed the gas pedal 50 times during the 20 minute ride each one each time you press the gas pedal it's another atomic bomb then you press your iPhone it's another atomic bomb so just from Shabbat from 8:00 in the morning till 8:00 at night Hashem is telling you you launched 50 million atomic bombs at me and now you want to pray to me and actually ask me to help you there's no bigger than this that's why it's considered that's why it's considered disgusting to hem not only are you using what I gave you against me but on top of it you're asking me to help you with it you're asking me to pay for the poison that you're giving me doesn't make any sense so now when you go to beet you have to look who's around you have to look at who's around if you have you have at least 10 Jews that are keeping Shabbat that's aan you're in a good place it gets even better but if you have a reform conservative or a secular Sho where everyone isif everyone keeps whatever they feel like it you're not doing any good for yourself you're putting yourself in Jeopardy every single minute that you're you're there page 16 it says sometimes I thought this is only in our generation this actually has been happening for at least 2,000 years sometimes people pick a caner pick a Kazan because there has a beautiful voice he's a beautiful voice that's the point of the Kaz is to through his voice he's reminds us of theim in a bet mikash in a bet mikdash when someone do aan they make so they make a sacrifice because of some sin they made accidental sin they made a sin so they bring a Corban they bring a sacrifice but just bringing a sacrifice wasn't enough you have to do cha because there something called pul pul means if you brought theban with but in your mind you didn't really feel sorry you didn't feel sorry like oh I cheated on my wife I'm not sorry about it but at least I'm going to give this bet mikdash I'm going to give this God some animal cost me $5,000 big deal that's called pul pul means it's defective meaning that you can bring him 5,000 Coran 5,000 sacrific is not worth anything it's not accepted by hasem what's accepted chuva accepted for you to do cha so one of the ways one of the things that we miss one of the the things that really should break every Jew's heart when he actually knows this about the bet mikdash when we had the BET mikdash someone would come with the Coan and sometimes they didn't come with a uh with full chuva only partial chuva okay I feel bad but not like bad bad I feel bad okay so let me give him this cow or five cows the guy's rich guy he gives him five cows what's the big deal each one is $10,000 okay give $50,000 but he doesn't really feel bad so what happened in the bet mikdash theim would start singing and the voice was so powerful that would literally make people do chuva on the spot it would break their heart it would start making them think of their sins and the people would start crying while they're slaughtering the animal they force them to do chva even if they didn't want to that's how powerful their voice was so in a is supposed to be like a minoren suppos his voice is supposed to remind us of what we we really should have we should have the mikdash it should touch our heart so we do cha so sometimes people pick the guy pick the Kazan because he has a pretty voice he has a nice voice but here's the problem if he had has a very nice voice but he's R he's not considered a righteous person he shaves with a blade if he shaves with a blade he's not even allowed to be part of a Manan someone that shaves with a razor blade cuz it's because it's a sin that's a regular sin meaning it's a habitual sin he does does it every time if it's a onetime sin he just SA one time but then he goes back to being a normal you know with a either some kosher scissors or a buzzer that's approved or he just grows a beard that's fine if he made one time sin okay do Chua that's fine but if he shaves on a regular basis which most men shave every couple of days if you shave your face that means that that sin is a regular habitual sin as a part of his life and someone that makes a sin on a regular basis is no longer part of am he's not considered Jewish anymore he gets thrown out of the land he's not even part of a m he's the same thing as AABB so now if this can has a pretty baby face but not because he was born this way like a lot of people from Spain a lot of people from Italy or different parts of the world they don't grow fa you know facial hair so the guy's 50 years old looks like he's uh 16 you got a pretty face okay if that's the case good no problem but if he has my jeans and he has a beard that's this big after a week and but you see that he has a baby face okay you have to find out if it's a razor or it's not if it's a uh if you see the still a little hair all the time then you know it's a buzzer if it's a baby face then it cannot be without a razor you have to verify you have to verify so now if this person is not considered a righteous person either because shaves inappropriately or he doesn't keep Shabbat or he doesn't keep kosher or he had a situation in in a Sho where the that they had the the one that's reading from the Torah not just the not just the actually reading from the Torah was married to a Goya in an orthodox Sho the guy is married to a Goya and he's reading from a Tor for the whole 150 people couldn't believe this this is how could this be so now what's the problem because he's supposed to be a representation this kazana is supposed to be a representation of the BET mikdash and you chose him because of his pretty voice instead of his good good deeds the says there's nobody in the world this is exact words of the there's nobody in the world that hates more than him more than his khazan and he brings a curse on the entire K everyone is cursed in the Kila that's listening to his prayer because they put him there so someone innocent doesn't know what's going on he comes to the K he comes to the thinking oh listen I want to get a mitvah I want to get I want to pray with Manan I want to pray with Manan what's the problem he doesn't know he goes to this that's has a that's married to Aya or has aazan that just ate 5 minutes before the Sho started or he had you know all these different problem he doesn't realize he just came to sh he got a curse who wants this problem this is why a woman don't qualify as aan a woman doesn't qualify as a Kazan also because it's not modest even though women have pretty pretty voices according to the meaning that the voice of a woman is considered part of her nakedness a woman's voice is attractive to a man another woman could appreciate a woman's singing and say wow she has a pretty voice but a man that just hears a woman singing if he doesn't know what she looks like he doesn't know what she looks like he's never seen her before and there's no image that he seeing he's just hearing a voice it's fine but if he knows what she looks like he's not allowed to listen to her sing why because the natural human instinct of a man is to imagine this singing voice naked is to imagine this woman what she looks like naked it's a it's a reality and I can tell you it's verified so woman's voice is very attractive to a man and therefore a man is not allowed to listen to a woman sing unless it's his wife and it's private so a woman on one end is not allowed to be aan because her voice is considered nakedness it will make the entire K think bad thoughts it's it's a sex crime so instead of going to to pray to hem the entire K is making the number one sin in the Tor which is a sex crime you know Y is coming soon well only about a month away or so a little more and at the end of yur prayers we say a lot of sins we made this sin we made that sin we made this sin we made this sin it's a big big S list of sins if you notice the entire list what is it it's sex crimes it's all sex crimes amen it's all sex crimes it's all don't be with your mother don't be with your sister don't be with your aunt don't man with men not allowed all these different sex crimes the entire prayer and one of the prayers in Yip one of the holiest days of the year the day that we're supposed to repent we're specifically talking about sex crimes so imagine a like a reformed sh that has a woman they're making the sex crime the wall asking for forgiveness for once a year every day this is this is what happens when we start using our own logic instead of using the logic of hasm [Music] it says you know Wise you know people that are Scholars Torah Scholars their entire body is fire what does it mean an entire body is fire when someone has dedicated their life their soul their time their pain suffering everything that they need to to to finally get to a point of being considered a Torah scholar it's not easy to be a Torah scholar three things the Tora says that you can only do through suffering and self-sacrifice and becoming and having T becoming a you cannot become a without suffering you cannot live comfortably in without suffering you cannot get to without sacrifice and suffering has to happen so now they say the entire is meaning that once they have become one with the Tora and made all the necessary sacrifices to become they become like their thoughts become like Torah thoughts they only think what the Torah thinks they don't have opinions they don't think about listen but I think that you should do this or I think no no no no what does AEM think the bigger the the less opinion he has only has what is hashem's opinion what's hm's opinion uh Rabbi tovia singer phenomenal Rabbi does a lot of kiru especially with the go and B Noah and even Jews as well one of the things you know during the times where we were uh learning about you know doing chuva was also learning about the falsehood of Christianity I listen to him a lot and one thing that always appealed to me he says listen in all the debates that he would have he says listen my opinion doesn't count he says your opinion the other guy your opinion also doesn't count he goes the crowd's opinion whole crowds 500 people there because your opinion doesn't count all that counts and all that we should ask ourselves is what is God's opinion what does God say about this that's a you have a he's not going to tell you listen I think this I think that he's going to tell you oh you have a question let's see what Torah says this is what it says this is what it says this is what it says whatever it is this is what hasem thinks this is why he wrote it so now you have yourself a situation where you're trying to fulfill these big mitv which are a little easy to fulfill because you know that they're big but here he's telling you that this big reward in this world and David is also saying it as well in is that he's scared of the small he's scared of the that no one thinks is a big deal the one that you go to besset you're not really paying attention at who the Kazan is you go to besset you're not really sure if there's a kosher minan or non kosher minan you're not verifying anything you go to a restaurant you don't really pay attention to the koser stamp if it's valid if it's not valid you're not paying attention cuz Okay so you may have me you may actually have a problem you may have a serious problem to such an extent that David says why is he scared why is he scared of these small because was one of the humblest people that ever lived called himself he's less than a worm he says I don't even know if I have the Merit to go to did not know if he's going to have a share of the world to come of course he became the fourth pillar in the uh of hasem but nonetheless during this world during this life that he had he didn't know he didn't know where he stood he he's like listen I'm trying the big mitv I know the big MIT but the small ones I don't know if I'm doing him good enough and maybe these small ones are the ones that going to make me lose my this is the difference between us and we're thinking listen we keep Shabbat I'm fine I'm tadik already I keep I went to a kosher restaurant I paid extra 50% already thinking a I'm learning 20 minutes a day okay great 20 minutes a day we we learn anything we're thinking we're already Giants but the real giants the real they're telling you listen you got to pay a little bit more attention to what the Torah says you got to pay attention to the small details and that's how we know that when Hashem is telling us here that he's going to remove every illness that we have he's not going to do it if you just keep Shabbat he's not going to do it if you just keep kosher because you have a local kosher store and it's pretty convenient to buy kosher salami because it's right next to the non- kosher what's the big deal it's going to cost you an extra dollar it's not going to change your life you want want special you want special assistance from Hashem you want Hashem to fulfill his promise over here where he says I'm going to cure every illness you have pain in your life your legs hurt your mind hurts your n hurts you have serious problems hasem says start paying attention to the small details not just the big ones but the small ones
