PEKUDEI: AYIN TOVA | Stump The Rabbi (229)

we're back here on our Wednesday night stump the rabbi part 229 several years going and bem answering uh hundreds if not uh thousands of questions over the years after giving you some about relevant and current issues that uh pertain to everybody's life uh we done ask uh you know have you asked some questions and give us the answers tonight's sh is going to be for the and foran Leana sah s Leana aavid Ben and bless them and all of the donors and supporters and partners that we have uh to help the organization do all the wonderful things that we're doing bem anyone that uh uh hasn't noticed we uh launched our uh annual campaign for Kim the P campaign to raise uh as much money as possible to help uh the poor people in Israel uh last night we spoke about it briefly uh and uh there's been major updates uh since uh last night where we had a whole lot more aim uh a whole lot more Torah Scholars righteous sikim uh come to us than uh we even uh expected so uh the changes are uh instead of having the 800 of uh and uh several hundred I think somewhere around 600 uh fam uh that uh are going to be getting food baskets and so on so somewhere around 14500 uh families uh the number has uh now increased uh where we're going to have a thousand of completing the shot in a single day twice uh two different events uh one in Jerusalem one inila uh the first event is going to be I believe Sunday and the second one will be uh just a few days later so uh that's a big thing and each one of these aim these thousand aim is going to get uh money to help them and their family uh which on the average are 11 uh uh people uh to get money to eat for the uh for the holiday for PES and then uh in addition to those thousand families those thousand aim we have uh quite a few other families that need our help and uh we simply can't say no we we just have to rely onh to provide for us uh to give us the ability to do it but we've already committed and we've said yes and we've made the orders with the supermarkets with the merchants and with everybody uh already started transferring uh the you know whatever money we uh we needed to to make down payments and so on in so many words since last night the estimated 12,000 people that uh were expecting to uh you know feed in this uh holiday increased to uh well over8 18,000 uh 18,000 people are going to uh get food and financial assistance from there holiday andm we're looking for as many of you as possible to uh to partner with us to help us to have a piece of this extraordinary Mitzvah uh to prepare for the holiday but the question is why would anybody want to give uh of theirs of what they the money they worked hard for uh and uh to give it to a bunch of people that they don't know of course yes it's a nice deed it's nice things to do but um you know we see that there's quite a few people that uh either they don't uh like to give or if they give they give uh their spare change they give uh whatever they feel like uh they could live without let's say they can't live without a $50,000 kitchen or $100,000 car but they can live without uh $50 here and there uh but in reality in sh uh the uh wants us to be the opposite of that now why would anybody want to be the opposite of that is the last inph in the book of Exodus and uh this is the part where we're learning about the uh all the uh building of the mishkan uh the different parts uh and certainly part of it is also the the the different eight different garments of the Ken uh and this Paras has an endless amount of teachings but we're going to focus on something that I'm sure you have not heard enough about uh and the subject is what do you know about we've all heard endless warning warnings and stories about it's a week does not go by without somebody asking me about how to get rid of evil eye that people have put on them or they think they've put on them uh but few people understand the significance of a good ey is building the Mish and donating above and beyond the norm people are literally giving the best and most valuable possessions that they have and in the process we hear about theen and one part of the eight garments of the Ken G is the Kosen the famous Kosen that of course uh you know is the favorite among uh you know among children and adults alike it's beautiful it's holy and we have some questions about it that we need to answer first and foremost why did Merit to get the like what what does the do for is just beautiful with nice jewels or is there something else to it and why did aen Merit to be the one that got it of course other uh got it after but of course the biggest reason is aronin understanding why Aron and got it will help us understand the value of amuna understanding auna to the point where a person knows the path of how to get to mastering auna will help us even reach the greatness of having chapter 39 verse number 15 says for the breastplate theen breastplate that they made had they made chains for it chains at the edges of braided craftsmanship and pure gold so now we see that thisen is not just a collection of jewels every part of it has significance in fact the gar says in multiple places that every Garment of the Ken G had a specific significance to bring merits and mercy and blessings for am is and the midash says thaton Coen merited to be the one to have theen because when he heard thatu was chosen by a to be the leader of is to be the prophet of all prophets even though he is his younger brother aronen was truly happy in his heart usually people compete not only with their siblings with their brothers and sisters but they certainly compete with everyone else even people they don't even know many times people take competition to such an extent where they literally lose sleep at night because they're worried about what their competition is doing how how did he get a new house how did he get another uh investment how did he get another client how did he take that client for how how did this how did that people are very worried about their competition even if their competition doesn't even know they exist this starts at childhood many times where you know you give the kids a present instead of enjoying the present that they got the first thing they look at is what did everybody else get or what color did you get oh how big did you get or how come he got more or how come he got less it's a competition constant competition well he did better than you that's why he got a bigger present oh really wow and they feel bad about it as they grow up if they don't learn more and more to and start fixing their midot this trait becomes worse why they start becoming jealous jealous of other people's stuff not just their siblings which is a natural tendency but they become jealous of strangers start looking at oh look at this guy he got a new bike how come he got a new bike I don't have a new bike well look at them they they're doing remodeling to their house how come they're getting a remodeling to their house we don't have a our house is almost as old as the BET mikdash how come oh look at them they got a new car they had a new car last year now they have another new car we're still we're still uh using the original Ford Model Model T how come how come they oh you heard he just uh got married to uh the's daughter how come he got such a good girl how come she got such a good guy how come oh you heard what they're doing they just launched a new product new product how they just launched a new product last month yeah yeah it's another new product this one is even better than the last one what about us no I don't know we we're still working on our uh fixing we're still working on fixing the original how come they're getting so much more than us and people focus on their competition so much so that they lose focus on what they're supposed to be doing and sometimes even if somebody is their beloved their brother their sister their partner their best friend when they hear that this person got something that they want for themselves even if it's just a simple vacation picture that makes the person look happy they become jealous in the best case scenario they're not so happy that somebody else got more than them they go into a housewarming party instead of coming there with excitement to bless somebody mazalov they start counting all the light fixtures how many lights does he have look at that one two three 15 16 how many lights do you have what's the electric bill here what did I send you a bill is that are you asking because you want to pay it are you asking because you're jealous how many bathrooms you have here how much you paying rent did you buy or did you uh rent and people are constantly counting other people's money one of the lowest forms of humanity but unfortunately it's coming people spend entire days and parts of their life talking about the success of others this billionaire and that millionaire and this celebrity and that business uh success people are interested in that stuff so much so that they forget that they have work to do themselves but they're not interested because they're happy to hear that this guy signed a big contract or this person married a nice person or that person just got something they've worked really hard for no they're looking at it with jealousy with envy and in uh polite way they're not happy that other people are succeeding and this leads to evil eye this is the reason why person has to be very careful before they decide to put themselves and their business and their life in the spotlight because the more you succeed the more people are looking at you and certainly can bring on you even if they mean well they're not happy in their heart for your success they have a little bit of envy and jealousy unfortunately it's not a good thing for you not just them but what's is what had when he heard that Mosen was chosen to be the leader despite the fact that he was younger the fact that he wasn't with am is for so many years while Aron Quin was he was chosen aronin was genuinely happy and how do we know he was genuinely happy completely to the highest level even more so than if he would have been picked himself because gave him the what does the have to do with that what is it you get a gift you did a good thing you get a cookie what is it before we answer that as we learned from our own dear R FR we have to understand what is the page 88b says that thein's significance was that it would bring the the Judgment of Heaven lower in that sence nullify the harshness of the Judgment that was decreed from Heaven on am so the's role was not just to be pretty and be used in costumes that every kid likes to wear for PIM and all year round but rather theen was a spiritual tool to lower the harshness of the decrees in fact as noticed that the fourth section of the is called which is the section of the of the codified law of the tah that deals with judgment judgment in and the was to lower judgment as the said all of the laws of are really only utilized if a person is not a forgiving person and is not willing to overcome his bad character traits and has weak imuna because if a person is forgiving that somebody took something from them overcharged them whatever caused them some type of loss and they're willing to forgive in fact they're willing to strengthen theira in order to acknowledge that everything is from heaven then says the to such a person with a higher level of and a desire to overcome their traits and forgive to such a person there's no need to use the laws of because you know that what's decreed for you is yours as the sages taught in the gar no one can take what's yours whatever hasem decreed for you is for you whether it's a profit or a loss shame or Joy suffering or good health whatever it is whatever is decreed for you to receive from Hashem no one can take from you and when a person has higher level of amuna and is willing to fix their flawed character traits they're quickly going to realize that they're not here to fix the World by showing people that they're wrong and making an example look I'm going to make an example of this guy so he's going to know to never overcharge people again to never be laid again to Never Lie again that's not your job hasem brings judgment without needing your help he's been doing it by himself since the beginning he's still doing it even if you think you're helping him you don't need to judge anybody you need to judge yourself in reality that most people are not at this level says the most people don't have a high level of most people do are not willing to overcome their ego that someone took advantage of them someone took from them so they need the laws of to know what the actual decree is to know what the law is now the we know now was to lower the heart harness of the decrease but as we read in Exodus 39:15 just now that theen had chains in order to connect it to the in order to keep it close to the heart ofen now there were many ways to keep this Kosen still could have used rope could have used instead of a chain could have used uh a some type of string even from precious metal like a bracelet of some kind but a chain chains of gold were chosen says that just like people have aaka box in their house their business and if they don't they should would they put money in there and eventually give it to Holy organizations like people should also have says the a Shalom box what's a Shalom box it's a box that you put money in from time to time you have money you have an extra $5 $10 $2 10 cents whatever it is you keep put money in it and anytime somebody argues with you over money says go to the Shalom box take the money that's in the box and avoid the fight no need to fight the lineage ofid began at with the bmov had extraordinary tedim one after another and the Seventh Generation after the bmov was the the AL who wrote the in the 1800s but he also wrote the seph the book of merits in order to highlight the merits of am is so he this extraordinary sadik goes looking for the goodness in is said that there's one character trait that he worked on for 18 years and that was a to see the success of other people and become genuinely happy as a result of it now your success and despite your current failure if you're failing but seeing other people succeed Makes You Happy Now the more elevated you are in spirituality the easier it becomes to be happy to see people succeed materially because you know that this is a temporary world the car the house the whatever it is it's here today gone tomorrow they call you a billionaire today tomorrow you could be declaring bankruptcy like the uh people they were running the uh company that just declared bankruptcy called uh 23 and me that was gathering people's DNA and tell them who they think they are and now there's a critical problem that over 7 million people have of what's going to happen with all of these DNA records of this bankrupt company that was worth $6 billion doar just a few years ago says that he worked on in order to develop true happiness when he sees the material and the spiritual success of others while the material success is much easier to cause a elevated person to be happy because great blessed them with money good they'll have food they'll they'll be able to do good things with it but the spiritual success when you see someone and they pray with a lot of kavana or they just completed an enormous amount of Torah or they remember a lot of Torah or they gave a great sh they wrote a great book that people love and they're enjoying and they're getting from it even though there's the the created jealousy for the to be used for one to be jealous of the other in order to elevate the uh the uh uh the ambition of both to get even higher but still when you see somebody succeed much more than you in the world of Tor sometimes it's hard to be happy that he did a and you're still starting but the said say 18 years he worked on this Mida to the point where he was able to be happy as a result of other people's success in every aspect even more than his own success so theen theen that lowers the Judgment has these golden chains to tie it to the heart because the chains unlike a something that's like a uh bracelet of some kind the chains signifying that is has to know that we are just like a chain where each link is the same size and value as the next and if one breaks the whole chain becomes worthless because the biggest reason of why it exists is in order to to connect two things but if there's a break everyone loses in order for a Jew to to elevate themselves to the path of having they have to see their fellow Jews as part of the same chain where you don't view yourself as a bigger part or more important part each one is part of the chain each one has its significance each one has its beauty but another reason why it's made out of gold is this is my God and I will glorify him we want to do in the best possible way to show that we love the because for our benefit not his he doesn't benefit out of the he doesn't benefit out of the he doesn't benefit out of you keeping Shabbat he created all of those for your benefit for our benefit and when we glorify the T and its we're showing that we know this is for our benefit and we love him for it and we love the MIT we see them as gifts in fact when it comes to the connection between the bov famously said that if Amed treated each other like a chain where each one held on to the other without letting go so even if he fell spiritually you're lifting him up why we're all part of the same chain she fell down spiritually you lift her up we're all part of the same chain don't break don't break we all need you if each Jew held done to the other to elevate ourselves to be part of the chain of would be able to reach all the way to the imagine every Jew holding the hand of another Jew and go straight up be able to reach all the way to the the problem though is because people do not have high level OFA they believe that when other people succeed somehow it's to their detriment somehow his success somehow her success means that you lost out because he got a big house or she got a big raise at our job or they got some type of inheritance when they friends and family see it without but rather it's because they feel that somehow they lost out as a result of that person's benefit somehow they feel like they deserved it this is the reason why people that are jealous decrees they will not be resurrected by the Dead uh resurrected at the time of the resurrection of the Dead why because jealousy is a form of heresy it's in essence thinking that Hashem made a mistake that he gave him or her something that he should have given you Heretics do not get resurrected with the Dead and the reason why people have different forms of jealousy is because of a weakness of a weakness in the fact that whatever a decreed for you to receive you got it no one can take it from you what's his is his and what's yours is yours he can never touch what belongs to you even if he tries and you can never touch what belongs to him even if you try even if he actually outright steals something from you if it belongs to you if Hashem decree that this is yours you will get it back so the more we have AA the easier it is for us to have why because we know that oh he got a bless blessing now look he found a wife look they just had kids look they had good blessings great wonderful he just became a billionaire amazing why you can ask him for a donation no you ask him for alone no but you need no but still doesn't matter let him enjoy his is his if he wants to give if he wants to help he's going to help but no no no I'm happy because he's happy because he's succeeding this is also by the way the reason why if anyone ever ask themselves why they like to donate while other people don't like to donate there are some people that they'll come to they'll get free stuff they'll get books they'll ask questions but they won't contribute they won't contribute or if they contribute they contribute so little it's as if they didn't While others make contributing as a key part to their life even if they don't necessarily watch every lecture or or get every free giveaway they like to give why this all has to do with while the person that likes to give he likes to give because he wants other people to also have a part of his Blessing he also wants other people to have good she wants other people to be happy other people to eat other people to benefit while the other person doesn't like to give they may lie to themselves and say no I can't afford it because I have credit card bills or I have this bill I have that no no it's really you don't like to give you're cheap you're stingy why because you worry that if you give to others somehow you will lose out as a result that what other people benefit somehow it's to your detriment it's is one of the top ways to ruin your own blessings and your own life and your own happiness and all has to do with do you believe that a runs the world or do you think you do now everyone knows what kazal teaches it's in the Tora it's in the M it's in the it's in the it's in everywhere that the source of all blessings is Shabbat Shabbat the tool that Hashem uses to bring blessings in fact as I heard from in the name of the that the entire blessing for parasa for sustenance for Success monetary success the entire blessing of parasa for a Jew for the six days that he's going to work relies on Shabbat now there are many things that could ruin the blessing as my dear friend from is send me a whole list with sources of different things that ruin the blessings with his desecrating Shabbat as the zos says in or dishonest business practices is the page 88 speaking saysage 15 arrogance not giving takaka lack ofuna fighting with schom not having schom mocking people wasting seed forbidden thoughts not guarding your bre anger lack of sim looking at things that you're not allowed to look at forbidden images eating without blessing ing breaking a vow laziness overs sleeping disrespecting your parents lack of gratitude worst yet ingratitude being stingy causing other people Financial harm being a showoff with your wealth being a glutton being late with your payment to your employees or people that you owe money to when you don't have to be late you just simply choose to be late shaming other people being jealous overcharging people and exploiting them mistreating converts Orphans of widows mocking Torah Scholars mocking the Torah refusing to forgive cursing people vulgar speech ignoring modesty and others and all of this is full of sources literally it's it's it's genius genius list that when you read it and you understand this is the word of the Living God it literally makes you scared to death to do anything wrong because every one of these things is something you can do just like that if you're not paying attention to your actions and every one of these things can ruin the par that a person is supposed to get but as one of them said Shabbat and and says that the blessing for your six days of work that you're allowed to work on whether you work six days or four days or one day one hour doesn't make a difference the blessing you will have for your work relies on Shabbat but as the mishna says hasem decreed that the best vessel to protect a blessing is Shalom is peace and therefore says the the Satan who cannot stand to see Jewish people with success with money uses all of his strength all of his Tools in order to create anger and animosity in your house during Shabbat because Shabbat is the and by and Shalom is the vessel that holds this B to be utilized during the six days and therefore when he causes you and your kids you and your husband you and your wife to fight on Shabbat you just destroyed your pessa for the week why you got the blessing cuz you kept Shabbat but you broke the vessel that was holding on to it you broke the Shalom ruins the P that person says no listen we don't fight on Shabbat but some of the other things you said about not liking to give or not being Happ happy for other people not going to tell anybody else but it pertains to uh I feel it in my heart the guy's saying not so happy that uh my former classmate has a $5 million net worth and I have a $5 net worth not happy about that what are you not happy that you don't have or you not happy that he has a little bit of both he says many people are not happy that other people are more suc successful to them in fact one of the things that causes them the worst anxiety and unhappiness is other people's greater success than them in fact one of their motivators to want to succeed is because they want to have more than other people not because they just want to like they say I want to do a lot of good things what what's what's motive because they see other people look I remember this classmate this guy I don't understand how he has more than me how he started an AI company how he started a tech company how he started a law and I'm still you know plumber I'm still a this I don't understand wait why are you so unhappy about his success now if you're saying you want to be more successful fine no problem but what is what does it have to do with the fact that your former classmate neighbor brother sister younger older is successful what does it have to do with it why aren't they too independent issues you know why because you're unhappy that other people are successful now why are you unhappy because other people are successful because subconsciously you think that their success is to your detriment somehow they stole your money even though it wasn't yours and that all has to do with the lack of and if you have a lack OFA certainly you're never going to get to having a and if you don't have a you're missing out on the greatest tool to Ultimate success and happiness in every aspect hey just a quick reminder if you're enjoying this lecture and you love the truth of the Torah and challenging the false narrative that's out there then make sure to subscribe like and share with people you care about you may end up not only changing your life and Eternity but also theirs and that's the greatest gift that you could ever give somebody thanks again for learning with me look forward to hearing amazing feedback from you and now back to the amazing holy Torah in sh last week's par said a couple of extraordinary stories that put things in perspective he says there was once a speaker giving kuk to a k there's about 100 people in the uh in the crowd and as the uh Rabbi is speaking giving him words of suddenly some messenger comes up to him and gives him a little note Rabbi opens up the note and he gets visibly excited everybody notices they want to know what happened and he says to them I have wonderful news we just received a donation from someone that prefers to be anonymous but it's such a great donation that he wants us to even share it with the people that came to this shoe of course everybody's Happy who doesn't need a a little bit of help whether it's for Shabbat for the kids for medical for for whatever sure everybody wants again he says there's one condition what's the condition each person picks somebody else that they're going to arm wrestle and whoever when each time that you win you take down the other guy you get $5 so there was 100 people that means 50 people paired with other 50 50 people and they had 10 minutes to arm wrestle as many times as they can to see how many times they can win after 10 minutes of course everyone's tired but they did what they had to do the rabbi asked the first pair okay so what was the tally and Yan says I won five times and Ruben won three times okay great so you get $25 and he gets $15 all right listen it's better than nothing it's great the next guy so Shimon what' you get I won four times okay what about him he won twice all right so you get $20 he gets $10 all right and that's the way how it went pair after pair three three times and four times two times five times everyone was more or less the same until they got to the last pair they got to the last pair UDA says I won 300 times huh 300 times okay what a young get he also got 300 times whoa everyone is amazed how is that POS possible you won 300 times he won 300 times how did you do it so you sadik said to them while everybody else was trying to win by defeating their fellow we decided we're going to help each other so we figured I'll let him win and he'll let me win as many times as we can why should I be the resistance for his success and why should he be the resistance to my success and instead of fighting each other and trying to stop each other from succeeding like everybody else is doing in the world we actually helped each other succeed so he won I won one one there's no pressure we just tried to do it as many times as possible and both go got to 300 that means each one got 1500 from here we see how peace brings a whole lot more blessings than wanting to cause other people failure in order for you to succeed there was one time a rich woman they lived in a uh town called Shino or shin and this Rich Jewish woman she had a uh maid servant that was a young orphan young orphan girl that lived with her and the arrangement was that she's going to give her a room in the house the big fancy house that she had she has her own room and she has to take care of the house she has to take care of the shopping she has to go with her everywhere and she gets also a little bit of uh money too one day the two of them the rich woman and her young orphan made vant both Jews they go to uh the market and as they go to the market they see that it's publicized that the lottery award to whoever wins is an astronomical number something no one has ever even seen before a million Rubles and even second place is 10 ,000 rubles even though the rich woman already has plenty of money you know as the says you give them 100 they want 200 you give them 200 they want 400 someone that loves money will never have enough money so she bought herself a ticket and even the young orphan girl bought herself a ticket with a little bit of money that she had and in those days you had to buy the ticket you have to register your address that this address belongs to that ticket you know there was no internet to TV or anything like that in those days in order for them to know who the one they look at the ticket number and the addresses and they go and they to that person's house and tell them that they won so they both bought a ticket who knows maybe maybe we'll win maybe she'll win who knows so few days passed at 7:00 in the morning and the messenger from the lottery knocks on the door the young orphan girl sleeping it's early in the morning she doesn't have to uh she doesn't start her day yet but the rich businesswoman was up she was awake she's an early riser she opens the door she's happy to see Messengers from the lottery you say to her ma'am the ticket that's registered to this address won the second prize in the lottery congratulations 10,000 rubles oh wow wonderful wonderful thank you what great way to start the day thank you he gives her the confirmation that has the number on it leaves and she looks at the confirmation and then she realizes wait a minute this is not my number oh this is this is the maid servant's number now even though she has plenty of money she also has plenty of yet and her yet overcame every part of her goodness for a few moments to the point that she did something that unheard of she snuck into the poor little oran's girl's room and switched the tickets while the girl sleeping she switched the tickets and went right away to the lottery to collect her 10,000 rubles she figured listen Technically she's my servant what's hers is mine technically the money she got I paid it you know she rationalized her evil few hours later there was another knock on the door Now by now the young orphan girl is awake and she opens the door and it's another representative from the lottery ma'am we have confirmed that this address that has this ticket won the grand prize of the lottery one million Rubles wow amazing wow amazing you're welcome to come collect your prize as soon as possible and of course this changes her entire life this is the blessing of all blessings but over our shoulder the rich woman is eating our heart out why the ticket that that won the grant prize was her ticket but she switched it because she was greedy and she went and stole the 10,000 of course this is eating her heart but is she going to admit listen I stole your ticket as they say what are people not going to do for money and this rich woman says listen I have to uh come clean you know I want to do chuva wow what happened listen I made a mistake the overcame me and you know everybody makes mistake but I'm really embarrassed but I have to I want to do Chua I want to do chuva so just because I sinned I don't want you to sin because of me you know me sin because of you why why what are you talking about you know everybody says these things they try to justify their evil in all types of ways they call them uh slick tongue speakers says listen really at 7:00 in the morning they came and the ticket they one really that was your ticket I actually uh stole your ticket and I switched it so uh I don't know I'm sorry I'm sorry I did it but uh listen I I I just why why should we continue like this let me just give you back my ticket give you back your ticket you give me back my ticket and that's it let's just move on that way of course the young orphan girl says what are you talking about what are you crazy might be D first of all who knows if what you're saying is even true and second of all even if you switch the tickets according to the Tora that's it you did you made the deal you switched it it became my possession it's my ticket that's why I'm not giving it back to you no but it's m listen it's my ticket it's my reward it's my money that's it now they went to the bed the bed of the rebi of shave big sadik kados both women told him their side of the story after he hears the story from both of them he says I have to uh review and think about it and give you the answer the Pak after his review he tells the women okay I've concluded that the here is that both tickets belong to the young orphan girl now both girls both women are completely surprised you know the possibilities in both of their minds is that either everything stays the same or it switches never in their wildest dreams that they think that this would possibly be and the Rabbi says to them you see decreed this day to be a day of ma of Good Fortune for the young woman and therefore when the lottery was announced the ticket that she had in her possession one but after you switch to tickets after the rich woman switched the tickets that didn't change the maal therefore the second ticket won meaning that if it wasn't for that switch if the rich woman would have kept her ticket she wouldn't have won the win the Maz the fortune belongs to the young girl and in fact the fact that you admit that you stole obviously shows that it's her ticket and once you gave her your ticket that's it it became our property either way that was the but says look at the M that you could learn from here look at the Mard that you can learn from here from this true story first of all one of the things that makes people frustrated is when they work really hard and they don't get results or when they see other people get better results when it seems like they work less so what do they do they work and they work extra and they so much extra they work overtime they work multiple jobs they do all types of things above and beyond the necessary effort and we learn from this story that runs the world and therefore no matter how much is you have the results are going to be the same if you go above and beyond the necessity of your is not only will you not gain from it but you'll actually lose like this woman did she thought that her extra effort will gain her 10,000 she ended up losing the second thing is we learn and we see a confirmation of what the sages said that whatever a Creed that it's yours no one in the world can take from you even if they sneak into your room while you're sleeping what's yours no one can take away from you and last but not least when a person realizes the significance of a kosh's hand in all of their success they realize that even if you're sleeping if a decreed for you to get a million Rubles a million dollars a million Bitcoins a million whatever even if you're sleeping you're going to get it so you see when a person has a proper level of Amun inem where they realize that a is the only reason why they have what they have regardless of what they have whether it's a lot or it's a little whatever success you had have or will have it's all in the hands of a the only thing that's in your hands is the effort how much of your time are you going to exert chasing your own tell thinking that you can get more and in fact the higher level of amuna that a person has the more they utilize their time to connect to hem even more and the less effort they exert to try to improve their Fortune no one is saying don't exert at all everybody has to exert to a certain level it's all based on a certain you know on your level of am but to go above and beyond to the point where a person doesn't have time to learn to doesn't have time to be with his family doesn't have the ability to be honest in business doesn't have the ability to be honest with his uh customers steals from people steals from the government all of this so-called extra effort will never bring you more fortune in the end you only lose out of it furthermore the higher a level of that a person has the more they're going to develop good eye where they see other people succeed and it makes them happy regardless of their own success or failure why they see the hand from above feeding everyone they see the hand from above deciding who gets and who does not and they're happy that people have good they're happy that people have Fortune they're happy that people have blessings because they know that their success is not to your detriment but the opposite the more you acknowledge that aadh is the only source of success and therefore their success is not a nothing bad for you has nothing to do with you the more you see that Hashem gives blessings the more you should be happy you see that your friend your partner your whoever got a bigger house got a bigger Fortune got a bigger you should be happy should be happy for him or her even if even if you're not succeeding why because you're seeing that Hashem is delivering blessings what about you maybe your time's going to come tomorrow maybe next month maybe next year but it has nothing to do with his blessings so why not be happy for him why not be happy for her that she found a good husband why not be happy for them they're having their kids why not be happy for them that their kids are good kids why not why not have a good eye what do you benefit out of having a an evil eye you know what you benefit nothing not only is evil eye cause you to be more miserable than you can possibly imagine it's literally the source of all misery that people have because they're constantly looking at everybody else's life and they're jealous so not only does evil eye cause you to be miserable but it also is heresy that causes you to lose your blessings when you have a good eye you bring upon yourself more blessings and is the prime example of that he received the because of his good eye that means that every single Coen that ever wore thaten every child that ever saw a picture heard a story about the Kosen every kid that wore a costume of the Kosen every Jew that ever benefited out of the Kosen at the time of Mount saai or the bet mikdash or even today benefit bened out of's meaning that it wasn't just a benefit to him but everyone else benefited as a result of it and why did he get it because he had an in he was happy for someone else because he knew that what's his is his and what's mine is mine he didn't get the position because because he took it for me he got the position because chose him and because this was in the heart of Aon only a knew it and only a can testify that that's the case and that's why he gave him the when you have it improves your life it improves your perspective it improves your view on other people it also makes you a better person because now you want to help other people you want to donate you want to give why because you want other people you want to be the source of other people's blessings you're not thinking that if you take from yourself and give to others it's going to cause you harm the opposite by you sharing the blessings that Hashem gave you shows that you're acknowledging the and you want other people to have blessings you want want to be part of Their Blessings you want to give more to others guess what you end up benefiting even more when a person likes to give when a person likes to share that means they have they want more people to benefit but when a person is stingy when a person doesn't like to share or whatever they share they like K where they share their garbage un like heav who shared his best then guess what you continue in that way don't think that you'll have a different end in kind why is the ultimate giver and by being stingy shows that you're nothing like him the opposite of him we have to work on a 100 times more than the fear that people have from because if you have enough cannot touch you and we will succeed to always have as we acknowledge hashem's big world and endless ability to provide sustenance to all of his creatures beyond our w this imagination as he says mine is the money mine is the gold says God the master of Legions everything is his he doesn't have any shortage if he wants to give he will give whatever you want he can give the question is why do you deserve it don't tell me that you deserve it because they have it it has nothing to do with you the morea we have in hasem that he's the only provider the easier it is for us to have the more we have the more blessings we're bring in our life and the less we have to worry about if you're worried about check maybe you're the source of that's why you're so worried about it because usually people accuse other people of what they really are so let's work on let's push ourselves to be more great to bring more happiness to other people to have other people celebrate and enjoy no less than we want to you want to have a SED with lots of meat and 15 different salads okay so donate for other people to have the same thing you want other people to have good okay that's a good thing but if you only want yourself to have good that's not a good thing that means you have we have to get rid of because it's the ultimate and we only have a couple of weeks to get rid of it let's get rid of it once and for all and beer not only for P buter for with all the time celebrate when other people get even if you don't get celebrate when other people benefit even even if you don't benefit I promise you in the name of the Torah the happier you are for other people's good the happier you will be in your life regardless of what you have be happy for other people's success and you'll see your life will change you will never ever lack anything because the blessings are literally endless Beyond material is the greatest blessing you could have I've only met a few people that I know that have it and I'm telling you it's an amazing thing you should try it it'll change your life much more than can hi everyone just wanted to remind you that we're having our Kim annual campaign every year we do a campaign for PES and all the other holidays to distribute food and money to Torah scholars in we continue to reach bigger and bigger milestones and this year is no different we not only want to help them we want to help you so we're having two major events where 500 aim in each location are going

bringing you all of the blessings of the tah thanks again for all of your contributions and we look forward to seeing your name on the list of Partners in this extraordinary campaign to publicize A's name and make sure that his children enjoy this holiday with that being said now we got to the segment of questions where you guys could ask some questions will give us the answers let's see I TOA is good eye is evil eye and a if you want to spell it in English as a transliteration is a y i n and Tova is t o v a and ra is r a a maybe should we have no obviously to be happy for is not not allowed you have to pray for their destruction like we say in every day three times a day they will never have any hope any success they'll be destroyed I'm referring to having a on decent people not Wicked Heretics is it okay for a Jew and a non-jew to use the symbol of two hands when they're talking in a chat room about praying for someone uh yeah I mean you could use the little uh Emoji for it I don't really see a reason as long as both of you are Believers in Hashem and that's some form of idolatry but um I don't really see a problem with it I know that there's some uh some have spoken about using emojis between males and females uh is not appropriate because it makes the uh you know makes the two people uh overly friendly but again everything has to be done with uh with tact and with with with care it all depends on what you use and how you use it why don't Jews believe in Jesus as a prophet because our torat tells us that Jesus was not only a prophet he wasn't even a donkey of a prophet he was a wicked person that desecrated the name of God turned himself into an idol that told people that people should uh worship him that he is bigger than the laws of the Torah he's bigger than Shabbat um and uh this whole thing about him uh coming from a a virgin is one of the biggest you know is the biggest lie in history since uh uh she was married and uh her husband wanted to divorce her when he found out about this uh and uh in fact uh the uh this whole uh this whole thing is a uh just a mockery of the as the Tora specifically says in bem is not a man so to say that uh God somehow humanized himself as a form of idolatry and uh last but not least and needless to say but the fact that the uh New Testament Believers claim that uh this uh Jesus is a man God is because he was uh rose from the dead uh based on the testimony of a prostitute um is is is is literally another form of mockery of the Torah and also human intellect to take the testimony of of a prostitute and build a whole religion over it is completely ridiculous and not only that even if you want to say that he rose from a dead he's certainly not the first or last person that came back from the dead the tanak is full of stories and the is full of stories of people being resurrected whether it'si resurrecting the young boy or it's Alisha Nai resurrecting another young boy or even resurrecting a soldier even after he died where this Soldier fell into the same uh hole or grave that Elisha Navi was buried in and his body touched the holy body of Alisha came back to life there are literally countless stories of people coming back from the dead in the Torah but yet this whole new idolatrous religion is built on this story from a prostitute that he came back from the dead it's complete nonsense now I mean I could go uh you could go further and further about it I mean the people that wrote about them uh the uh the uh you know the the for parts of the um the different parts of the New Testament uh none of the people that wrote about him ever knew him and in fact the authors of the New Testament are not actually the names of the people like Matthew is not an author of The Book of Matthew as you see in there he speaks in the third person so the the whole thing is one human error after another one fallacy after another I would highly recommend watching the lectures that I've made about the topic uh and of course watching the lectures by uh the debate that Rabbi ysf mizi had against a pastor uh or the countless debates that Rabbi tovia singer has had uh against different uh priests pastors and different uh uh Scholars from the uh Christian world and literally defeated one after another um the more you learn about the Torah the more you realize that it's impossible for the New Testament to have any truth in it impossible for it to be true impossible for the whole Jesus story to be true or valid in any way shape or form the reason why you believe in it is because that's what you were told that's the way you grew up that's the what you were fed and you never had uh the uh the the the time inclination or even the uh uh the desire to question the story because this is the way you were brought up I would highly recommend that you use your god-given brain and time in this world to go and investigate the story that you were told and uh double check all the things that I just said and countless things you're going to learn and you will see that it becomes impossible to believe in the New Testament as a Divine document it becomes impossible to believe in Jesus as anything but a wicked person person uh it becomes impossible to believe any part of it it becomes impossible to believe in anything but the holy Torah both the written and the oral tah because one complement the other one is part of the other it's a one cannot be without the other but again this this is a process I have quite a few lectures about it uh and of course the uh other rabbis that I mentioned have many uh uh lectures about it especially Rabbi tovia singer has a whole career over it for the last 40 plus years and you'll see the more you know about uh the truth the easier it is for you to identify the LIE Rabbi do you think there will be a more peaceful route for the land of Israel to be obtained uh yes of course once the Messiah comes uh he will destroy all of the enemies and uh there'll be peace in the world sure yeah of course do you think there's a sect of monks who go go about giving scriptures to mon prophets no I think that's just the uh imagination of people uh and unfortunately uh foolishness uh does AI have a soul no it's a computer program what is the best book of musar for someone going through their conversion process um I mean I would say that you should have uh something to start out perhaps the books by Rabbi nimen uh are very good they're easy read they touch the heart they're uh clear uh and they're they have an enormous amount of uh insights from different aspects of the tah um that's very good to have I would highly recommend that book by Rabbi ysf mrai uh also very good books by uh Rabbi Vidor Miller uh also very good I would I would go into something by one of these uh before I would go into uh some of the older things by the uh uh the or or something like that or I would go if you're gonna want to learn some of those like the [Music] or then I would do it when you able to complement it with either learning it directly from a rabbi uh or you could learn it from a sh that a rabbi is giving for example if you want to learn or or let's say then you could watch the series of lectures that I've made about the uh every word in those uh letters or books and that way you're able to you know read it and alongside and actually understand what you're reading um because they're they're much deeper uh than what was written more recently uh but but uh if you uh you know want to learn let's say some of the more recent books then certainly there is uh they they easy enough for you to understand at least most of it if I pay you $100,000 can I become a Jew uh well first of all I don't decide whether you become a Jew or not uh and number two the people that I help by guiding them uh to convert to Judaism uh I do it for free so so you don't need to pay me anything uh you'll eventually need to pay a bed uh that will convert you whoever the bedine is some you know some small fee but uh to to convert to Judaism is not about money to convert to Judaism is about uh you know whether you made the uh proper life changes and you learned the necessary things to become a Jew anyone that says that they'll convert you based on a certain price meaning that you have to pay them some astronomical amount of money like 100 50,000 or even 15,000 uh then you cannot rely on their conversion uh or on anything else that they say because they simply do not care about your soul uh they care about your pocket and uh that's not a conversion to Judaism that's capitalism unfortunately uh to convert to Judaism is not about the money uh certainly it does cost money because you have to pay people that are working and and helping and so on whether it's courses or it's books or it's the betin but it's never going to cost you that kind of money uh you could do uh you could do mitat with that kind of money you could donate that money you could uh help Torah Scholars with that money you could help poor people with that money uh but definitely don't need that kind of money to to convert to Judaism and anyone that says that they'll charge you that uh for conversion their conversion is not valid so in essence you're not getting anything for that 100,000 does being a Jew have something to do with being an Israelite no a the uh the Jewish people went through a transition transition where we started with abah ainu uh but Abraham was an a Hebrew then his grandson Yakov was also called Israel so his descendants were called Israelites so from Yu all the way until Mount saai the Jewish people were called Israelites it's the same people as AB ainu is the Hebrews not called Israelites and then at Mount saai we became Jews so the modern day cult that calls themselves Israelites have nothing to do with Judaism have nothing to do with Torah it's a bunch of arrogant fools that like to wear uh Mortal Kombat and Egyptian costumes and scream at people um all types of heretical nonsense and uh to invigorate the hatred within people's heart and entice people to violence and it has nothing to do with Judaism it's the exact opposite of Judaism and uh it's more like the acts of amalik than is uh to be a Jew so as far as if you're talk about the Israelites according to the Torah that's the same thing as the Jewish people today it's just that we became Jews officially at Mount saai but the transition was from abam being called the Hebrew to his grandson yov called the Israelite and all of his descendants all the way until uh Mount saai uh they were called Israelites even mosenu was called the Israelite until Mount saai where we were officially Jews and the first time that the word Jew appears in the tanak is actually in Meg uh the Jew but Judaism began officially when we received the Torah Jud is M depends on the Torah not on uh uh people's ability to scream or wear costumes or uh to you know manipulate words in the way that they want to uh fit their agenda and as far as just to show you the level of stupidity that they have when they hear me in my lectures read the different parts of the tah they think that I'm speaking yish now not only does that show their abnormal amount of ignorance to the point where you're not even sure they're human but it literally shows that they're pulling the wool over everybody's eyes to the point where they put it on themselves too because number one the Torah is written in Hebrew not in yish number two I was born in Israel I came to the United States when I was 10 years old the first language my mother language is Hebrew I don't speak a word of [Music] Yiddish I don't know Yiddish if somebody speaks to me in yish I have no idea what they're saying when I have different books that have words in them in yish I have to get it translated so to say that I'm speaking yish it literally shows that they're so ignorant that if somebody spit in their face they'll say it's rain it's they're they're just they're just just I don't know they're just dumb to to to to a level of like abnormality like I I believe that uh the overwhelming majority of them should be instituted Straight Jackets instead of Mortal Kombat and different uh uh Samurai outfits that they wear they should have straight jackets and all be instituted because they're just violent morons that unfortunately influence people with their you know just things that apparently makes sense to people that are ignorant but if you go to any Torah scholar anyone that understands the Torah you'll see that there's no argument there's no debate they're just fools how does a Jew battle depression and hopelessness in today's world the more you learn about to the uh more you will feed your soul the nourishment that it needs to get rid of any negative feeling specifically depression and anxiety depression and anxiety is not a physical uh status but rather it's a spiritual status it's because your soul your n is poor it's starving and it's not getting its nourishment even if you get money even if you get physical pleasure even if you get uh all of the things of the material world it's that's not going to help the depression that's why you see uh people like uh Robin Williams that had over hundred million commit suicide and countless people from Hollywood that are worth a fortune commit suicide because even though they had all of the material pleasures of this world it never changed their spiritual status the only thing that will elevate your spiritual status is a connection to Hashem the deepest connection to Hashem is through his T the more you connect through his Torah by not only learning it but by fulfilling what it says the uh the more you're nourishing your soul and thereby you are giving it the only cure for depression that actually exists what do I think of liches that say that the reab schneerson was the mashiah will Messiah be born in Israel and if so wouldn't that cause Jews to want to return to Israel and have babies out of all the questions in the world this is the questions you ask well the mhia is going to be born he's going to be born he's already the mashia is already in the world uh whether he's going to cause people to want to go to Israel obviously that's that's that's where the Salvation is going to come the Jews are going to come from all four corners of the world but about having babies I just don't understand that part where how does that I just don't understand how will we know who mashia is uh well it says that uh elahi is going to uh declare three days before he comes the mashiah is going to come and the Prophet Jeremiah says that all of the Miracles that we saw in the story of The Exodus uh whether it's the the uh the 10 plagues the splitting of the sea all the things at Mount saai uh all of those will be surpassed by The Miracles that will happen at the time of mashiah meaning that you know the Mount saai was indisputable even the enemies of the Tor the enemies of am Isel knew that we received the Tor knew that hasm spoke to us no one was a uh was an atheist no one was atheist uh everyone understood that am got the to everyone understood that uh the the Miracles it was in plain sight millions and millions of people witnessed it uh so the uh the evidence was clear and what's going to happen at the time of mssiah is going to be even more than that so there's not going to be any doubts whatsoever of uh the Messiah and the rim says that uh in order for someone to fit the uh the possibility of being the Messiah not only does he have to be from the lineage of King David but he has to be a uh uh you know someone that's dedicated to the Torah someone that helps people helps Jews get closer to the Torah do chuv he has to fight the wars of God and this means you know helping people do Chua uh it's a fighting against Heretics and you know and all types of people that go against the Torah uh and then he's fit to uh to uh to be mashia but not necessarily the mhia yet when do we know if he's mashia if he destroys the Amal if he brings the you know the BET mikdash then we know he's mashia but uh all of that is going to be through a process uh and and then during that process there's going to be a war called The War of goou Magog and if you want to know more about the war of goou Magog I have a whole lecture about it uh where that we did it's an eight half hour uh video but uh only about I would say uh three hours of it the first three hours of talking about this war of go Mago uh there's a lot of details in it and sources from theah uh you could see it on my uh Channel do you support the Zionist ideology no Orthodox Jew supports the Zionist ideology that is against the Torah now there is a uh I don't know how many dozens of lectures that I've made that speak against Zionism which is something that promotes atheism communis ISM and is against the Torah and against the Jewish people the founders of Zionism were the biggest anti-semites helel uh you know he practiced Christianity and wanted to convert all the Jews to Christianity and you see this from his journal and his letters that he wrote to the pope uh the uh the zionists hate Judaism they're not part of Judaism to to ask an orthodox Jew that's loyal to the toah and helps people get closer to hasem if he supports Zionism it means that you not only do not understand Zionism but you also don't understand Judaism so I would recommend you go to my YouTube page type the word Zionism and you can see literally dozens and dozens of lectures where I bring historical proofs uh and uh documentation of how Zionism is antithetical to Judaism it's the enemy of Judaism uh no different than than Nazis uh they were actually Zionist were many many did dealings with the Nazis uh so so to ask a uh you know if I support zionis means you don't understand either one uh now as far as if they asking me if I support the state of Israel meaning a place in the world where the Jews live and I want the Jews to continue living there absolutely I want them to live there but that has nothing to do with Zionism that has to do with the tah that God gave us that land it's ours and um that's that's it it's everything is his he gave that to us and that's it as far as those that are trying to kill us those that are trying to take things from us those that are trying to destroy us regardless of who they are they're the enemies of all Jews uh and anyone that uh thinks otherwise is mistaken Israel relies on USA to survive absolutely not the Jewish people survived well before the United States even existed and Will Survive beyond the United States existence if you're talking about the uh the uh uh political situation that's there in modern day Israel uh you know that part and the dealings that they have between the uh uh the the Zionist government of Israel and uh you know in America that's not the Jewish people that's that's that's you know simply politicians some of them call themselves Christians some of them call themselves uh uh uh Israelis Jews or they call themselves uh uh you know uh Communists I don't care what they call themselves but that neither one represents the Jewish people the Jewish people are Jews based on what the Tas is and as far as the relationship between the United States and Israel you know it'll surprise you uh how much benefits America gets from Israel as a result of that relationship and uh you'd be surprised but there's actually even more benefits to America than there is to Israel from the relationship they've had with Israel um and if you simply want uh uh proofs look no further than your phone the microchip in your computer uh the the software that you use to run the vast majority of technology in the world uh the medicines you have uh a lot of the things that were developed in Microsoft Intel IBM uh these were developed in Israel the uh you know the elevation of much of the technology in the army of America was developed in Israel uh so yes America has more money more power and uh they uh they they have a certain tra relationship with uh with Israel but don't think for a moment that uh America is giving handouts and is donating to Israel like there's some uh homeless uh kid waiting for charity there is a whole lot of benefits that America gets out of the relationships that they have with with Israel uh but uh you know again regardless of this the Jewish people survive before modern day Israel they'll survive they surviv before modern day America uh they'll survive after both of them uh they survive before they had an army they'll survive after because the survival of the Jews is a decree from God he promised that no one will ever be able to wipe us out that we will always survive and that's why you saw the greatest civilizations most powerful civilization much stronger than what America is today uh try to destroy the Jewish people whether it's the Assyrians the Persians the uh Greeks the Romans the the Nazis the Spaniards the Turks uh literally all of the greatest most powerful civilizations in history tried to destroy the Jews yet all of those civilizations are gone and the Jews are still here why because you can't delete God's promise you can't delete God's decree so yes there were times that uh you know we were down that we were being murdered and and still happening now but that's all because God decreed that's going to happen also as far as why there are times of prosperity and there's times of uh of of of horrible decrees that's what we have the Torah for he tells us when we follow the law we follow the Torah good things will happen to us when we don't we violate bad things will happen to us but it has nothing to do with America America is just simply the new civilization in the world that uh could choose to either be good or could choose to be the next Nazi Germany that all depends on what people make a choice they could either choose to be a beneficiary of the Jews and just like all of the other civilizations that went against us many of them got benefits from us Egypt was built by Jews in the tadik he empowered Egypt he saved them from complete Annihilation he saved them from famine he saved them and not only saved them he built them became completely you know the world power as a result of yadik Babylon was empowered because of of the work of the of of the Jews Rome many of the things the coliseums the buildings that you see in Rome today they were built by Jews it's built by Jews America theica America that perhaps you live in America guess what look up the financiers that saved America they were Jews in fact some of the loans that these uh these Jewish people gave to America to help them uh win the war they never paid back so people that say oh a uh you know America America yeah listen America does a lot of of you know things that are good and positive and they give us religious freedom more or less uh in some cases even more than what they do in Israel no problem but America benefits too Spain benefited too uh Germany benefited too Babylon benefited too all of these countries benefited too and eventually they they said that uh they just want the benefit and they don't want us they kicked us out and guess what every country that kicked us out after they kicked us out they thought that they're going to get even greater benefit but to their uh dismay and surprise they were literally destroyed after we left Spain was a world power while the Jews were there after the Spanish Inquisition Spain became a nothing and still is a nothing till this day in comparison to what it was back then Germany was top world power when the Jews were flourishing there after the Holocaust Germany never recovered yes it's a uh uh it's it's better today than it was let's say 30 40 years ago but it's not the same Germany economically it has certainly uh improved drastically but it's not a world power anymore in comparison anywhere near to what it used to be and it'll never have the blessings that had in the past so you have to understand the big blessings that the America uh has uh gotten over the last 100 years especially has been as a result of them welcoming Jews into America now as far as the uh whether they stay this way or they join the enemy list like all the other civilizations before them remains to be seen but uh don't think for a moment that uh America is the reason why the Jews exist in the world or Israel exists in the world you're sadly mistaken it's a complete mistake what are your thoughts about a Jew making alyah is it incorrect or should we wait for mashia making alyah has nothing to do with mashia making alyah has to do with your life now uh number one is uh is this a family decision or you forcing your family to do it meaning that if you go to Israel you're going to get a divorce as a result of it if that's the case don't go to Israel uh number two is your Torah observance and St study going to improve as a result of going to Israel or deteriorate if it's going to deteriorate then don't go uh three do you have the ability to make a living over there or you're relying on some type of Miracle where you're going to abandon your high-paying job over here and you're simply hoping that uh God uh gives you a miracle and you're able to uh live the same standards over there if that's the case then don't go so again there there I have a few lectures about the topic one of them is called should all Jews make aliyyah and I think the other one says all Jews should make Aliyah both of them are about the same topic and it talks about what is the about whether someone should make Aliyah or not some people certainly should and some people certainly should not if you're doing it because you think that uh mashiach is going to come and that's going to give you front rad tickets it's it's it's it's complete mistake there's going to be some people that live literally and even go to the cotel that will be the first ones to be destroyed and then there are some people that live far away from Israel that will be on the front lines next to the mhia because it's whether mashia is going to help you or not has nothing to do with your location it has to do with your actions what are you doing Wherever You Are what do I think about the reforms and is it a good idea to marry one well reformed Jews are Jews that declare that they do not believe that the Torah is from God they think it's man-made uh and therefore they are considered Heretics many people that call themselves reformed Jews are not even Jewish one of the most popular uh reform rabbis is not only not a male but a female but it's also not a Jew it's a Asian woman that calls herself a rabbi uh so reform is has nothing to do with Judaism uh and uh it's simply a bunch of people that uh reformed the Torah into a new religion that they still like to call Judaism but it's not Judaism so to go and marry someone that has distorted and changed the Torah and continues to do so every day to the point where they celebrate the bar mitzvah that we consider holy today it's the day that a Jewish man a Jewish boy becomes a man it's a significant day uh but they the the reform give Bar Mitzvah to dogs meaning they believe that dogs should be treated the same uh as humans and if anyone thinks that dogs are in the same level of humans perhaps they should go to a shelter of dogs and live among the dogs for a little while and perhaps ask themselves if they still feel that way after a week uh so when people take different customs and laws from the tah and they disgrace them in such a way then re you realize that not only should you not support them but in fact they should be on the top of your spiritual enemies and if you want to marry one that's like asking should you marry Hitler should you marry uh you know a uh Osama Bin Laden should you marry uh you know a uh one of the uh Psychopaths of today should you marry someone that's an enemy of God I think that even the people that don't like you will still tell you no needless to PE say people that do like you are going to tell you no H Hashem has not given Israel to the Jews yet oh he gave it to us already at the time of the toah he never took it back AI Rabbi yes that's uh the app that we have it's an amazing app that any question that you have about Torah and jurry uh you could ask the app and it'll give you the answer uh and the sources some of the sources are different text books that you could look up some of them are lectures where I speak about it uh you go to air Rabbi on the App Store uh or you could go to the website ai.org and you could download the app and uh subscribe and ask uh ask questions it's the people that use it literally it's many of them have told me it's transformed their life it's that good there's no uh there's no prophet in a toat called Ahmed that's only in the man-made Quan that uh came uh 1,400 years ago um which is um about 2,000 years after we received the tah so there's no uh there's no in the tud is the devil's book well that simply means to a few things number one you don't know what the tud is You' never read through it perhaps you looked at some excerpts that were misinterpreted and mistranslated and manipulated ated that you saw online uh but you've never read the actual tud uh number two you don't actually understand what the devil is either uh and number three you you don't actually understand the significance of a book uh versus a SE uh so um it's it's sad that you're ignorant but it's even sadder that you're publicizing your ignorance because at least if you didn't publicize it people wouldn't know how ignorant you are you're you're bringing shame to your family and anyone that uh cares about you no I don't teach cabala publicly no what do I think about Benjamin Netanyahu he's a politician that is interested in whatever is going to benefit him he cares less about the tah or Judaism he uh employs Christian missionaries and he does whatever is going to fit his agenda uh he has nothing to do with uh Torah jury or supporting Jews he just cares about himself can someone convert to Judaism absolutely there are 36 places in the tah where hasem says how much he loves loves people that convert to Judaism uh and how they are considered uh special and beloved and they get special protection uh so certainly a person can convert to Judaism why wasid opposed in the early stages is it good to follow particular stream today or stay away from the labels of particular streams was opposed by some like Thea because uh it was viewed as a something that some of the um some of the followers of it are not going to understand stand meaning the uh there are certain teachings inid that could easily be misunderstood and misinterpreted into a form of heresy or idolatry and some opposed opposed their understanding of elut of of of godliness uh and uh on the other end uh time has shown that certainly there are extremely beautiful things that have come from there's extraordinary that have come from uh that even those that oppose them would agree that these people are righteous and they they're they're they extraordinary Torah Scholars and they're great people well at the same token there's also been many problems that have come from such as the all the Messianic uh things that are happening with the uhad in the last 30 years or the uh uh the recent developments from the Heretics like man is Freedman and those that copycat him uh that say God needs you all types of fake forms of uh so certainly there's been problems certainly there's been great things but at the same token there's been problems everywhere and great things everywhere in in in in in the world of Torah so we don't go into the wars of the Torah Giants and pick aside we know that they are giants they knew what they were doing at the same token there's a the Giants of of later years explain to us uh you know what we have a opinion about what we have no right to have uh any uh you know any take any sides do you have to have uh do you have to follow no if you are a safari Jew then you follow Safari Judaism if you're ashkanazi follow ashkanazi uh if you're kidish then follow there's no uh um pros and cons it's whatever you are it's whatever you are go with that uh and there's there's no need for a person to change who they are to uh uh you know to be something that they're not just because they think it's better if you're a safari Jew be a safari Jew that's it if you're asazi be asazi if you are you know part of that's fine too it's great too there's Beauty in Tora in every aspect it's just make sure that you're following what the says and not the the Heretics say you have to follow what that all of follows I saw the trailer for The Great Escape the final Waring is very powerful well the actual film is out it's about 15 minutes you can watch it it's on my channel it's R F's Channel can I wear a chain in a community where it is accepted uh depends what kind of chain if the chain is of some type of uh immorality or of some type of idolatry then no but if the chain is just simple chain you want to wear it U sure wear the chain can no hide wear a star of David necklace do you recommend it can they yes should they I don't know I mean uh why what are they trying to represent are they trying to represent that they're a Jew and they're not they're trying to represent that they support Israel they trying to represent that they simply like the way star David looks what's the purpose behind it do you still sponsor people for conversion are you willing to be somebody's R if so can one properly and respectfully express our interest in establish a working relationship uh as far as sponsoring people for conversion it's really only people that already have been dealing with for several years and that live next to me uh meaning they live in you know in South Florida if you live in other places you live in New York you live in different places I can't sponsor you uh you have to find a local Rabbi to do that I could certainly guide you you could ask me questions and you know whenever I can I can answer those questions as long as you're patient and reasonable and you don't send me you know a uh a Milla every time you send me a text message you know you send me a long story uh you send something quick and simple no problem I have no problem answering questions regardless uh of where you're located but if you need an actual sponsor you'd have to live uh near me and uh I would have to get to um you know uh know you over a period of time it's not a one two three thing but you know do I still do it yes uh but uh the thing that has changed over the years is that uh there were some people that I sponsored that lived in different places um I don't do that anymore it's just uh too difficult and uh there's other Solutions meaning they could find somebody else to sponsor them I'm not the only one that deals with it but as far as learning from me you the lectures are free and you could ask questions whenever you want quite frankly I don't you know I think with the AI Rabbi that we have uh made available to the world even the questions are not really necessary most of the time between the lectures and the uh and the AI Rabbi the overwhelming majority of your questions could be answered by one of them is a chain considered female jewelry uh um in some people's opinion yes and other people's no but you know I think that again it depends what kind of chain why um you're not going to find uh you know a big wearing a chain a big sadik wearing a chain you know you're not going to find out usually so who do you want to emulate who do you want to look like you know so you have to ask yourself those questions it's not forbidden you can wear it if you want it's just it's uh what's your reason behind it Rabbi do you recommend Rabbi uh yeah that has plenty of information uh for anyone that wants to learn about every aspect of the Torah whether it's the laws of Noah or it's the laws of the Torah it's available in to answer you in countless languages we have many people from all walks of life that uh both Jews and non-jews people that are in conversion people that have converted saf people in Hebrew people in a uh uh German and many Lang Spanish have subscribed and love the app uh so uh you know it's a uh it's an amazing app it's an amazing app so yeah I highly recommend it we're spending a fortune on it on a regular basis so I'm not going to spend all that money on it uh to uh if I don't like it I use it myself so on next this issue came up where a company offered $100 to anyone who could hack a phone a 15-year-old did and they refused to pay okay this is not the first time that a company lied uh the K said that today's are basically and we should treat them with love can you explain the stance it's completely not true you're misunderstanding what means you're misunder understanding what the k meant he's not referring to people that are driving to as he's not referring to people that are enemies of a that are doing everything to destroy the he's not referring to people that are distorting the tah as he's talking about people in his generation where they literally barely knew that they were Jewish and if they knew they were Jewish they did not know how to even practice Judaism the world is very very different than it was at the time of the Kish uh and uh the average Jew out there has you know been at sh at least a few times in their life if not more has celebrated the bar mitzvah or B Mitzvah Orit or it's attended one knows that Shabbat exists know knows the Tora exists uh so to say that somebody's a is very very difficult to say and that's what R and the overwhelming majority of the Pim uh you know in in in in history including in today's generation uh you know do not believe that you could just call everybody a it's simply not true uh even even according to the K if you studied the series we have the Jewish ashfa with us which is based on the kish's book you'll see uh that uh people are misunderstanding and misinterpreting what he said in regards to you could see it from his book what he meant so it's a just think everybody that drives on shab or everybody that uh decides that God doesn't punish just simply nothing that the K ever said and to say such a thing is not only a mistake it could even be considered on it's simply not what he said I'm not saying that you're saying sh I'm just simply saying that the people that are saying that are making a mistake let's say the company promised $100,000 if somebody could hike the phone and they didn't and now they're going to bedine uh do the company have to pay I'll have to need uh know a lot more information but uh in this case there's no need for me to get any more information they are going to go to a bedine and the bedine is going to do the work uh to find out whether they really do have to pay or they don't have to pay it's not a question that uh is a one to three answer you have to know a lot more information is it wrong with me to think that Earth is aem's as is all the world no everything is aem's really I don't I don't really understand uh the difference between you know everything is aams including you what what's the okay we'll take another question from Facebook now we did enough from YouTube and Tik Tock uh all when a person becomes overwhelmed and weak is that a sign of lack OFA where such a person focuses study most if feels overwhelmed and weak uh why it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a uh um lack OFA if it's something physical but if you mean overwhelmed by their problems they have anxiety Then certainly there's a lacking ofuna it doesn't mean they have NOA it doesn't mean that they're a bad person it certainly means that they need to improve it uh as far as where should a person Focus their study depends where they are in their life if they are someone that is already uh you know a um studied the talmud multiple times and uh you know they have a certain level of study if there's somebody that never even studied the talud that's certain level of study if there's somebody just starting out they have different level of study if there's somebody that's not even Jewish but they're in the process of conversion they have different level of study so it's it's saying where should a person Focus most of their study it's it's it's not a one size fits all what does the mean when he says uninterrupted Torah and can a ever attained this uninterrupted Tor is someone that is connected to the tah in every single aspect what they're learning without any type of distraction not physical not spiritual they're completely uh cleave themselves to to the to into um it's a you know different level of of of you know people call you know it's not focus it's a Beyond Focus uh and no a go can never get it okay I think I've answered most can ASV ever be forgiven ASV already died there's no forgiveness for ASV people that are descendants of asav could certainly become righteous we have even was a descendant of asav UHA is came from converts that were descendants of asav so righteous people have come from the descendants of from isav is descendants that have converted and become righteous people but asav himself no isav is wicked died Wicked it there's no there's no forgiving after death where in the Torah does the mentioned kafak reincarnation countless places I have an entire 4 and a half hour lecture about kafak which has I don't know over 100 sources in it uh whether it's from the book of Samuel or or other places there's plenty of places plenty of places that kafak and reincarnation has mentioned plenty of places okay thank you very much for learning with me like I said anyone that wants to donate and join us in this extraordinary uh um mission that we have to feed
