[Music] when left Egypt they left with a lot of wealth how would it how would uh how would it have been possible for them to give staka if everyone had Mana to eat clean water and was so wealthy they had no physical needs uh we learned Hashem causes some to be wealthy and others in need so sta can be given ah so the uh say that it was all relative all relative meaning some people became Filthy Rich like kak had as much money as all of am is put together so which means that in comparison to him a millionaire was an employee a poor person uh so when a person is uh infatuated with money then they'll never have enough money and people that uh there are I mean I'm sure you've at least heard of certain people that collect welfare checks from the government but they're millionaires they have two three four houses but they collect welfare checks they cheat on uh different types of uh things they they uh tell the schools that they send their kids to that uh they're barely making ends meet even though uh the uh you know the they're driving a brand new car you know and this is not you know putting a bad name out there it's a reality it's happening there's a reason why schools yes I'm talking about I'm not talking about public schools talk about Yes actually have people on staffed that investigate the financials of the families that are asking for scholarships that are asking for discounts from the ISA why because there's a lot of liars unfortunately enough for the ISA to say listen we don't want you to take advantage of us and since we don't we can't take your word for it because if we take your word for it we have to take his word for it we have to take her word for it we take everybody's word for it and we simply can't afford to do that because there's been enough lies to ruin it for everyone so there has to be someone really obnoxious really really uh uh just inappropriate in certain aspects that has to investigate how much money do you really have because you said on the application you're making uh $150,000 and your wife is making $50,000 or vice versa and uh you have three kids and uh you know instead of paying I don't know4 $50,000 for tuition you can only afford $110,000 uh well can you show us a uh financials can you show us your bank check can you your your bank statement can you show us your paycheck can you show us your tax return why why are they asking for that what do you think they they have nothing to do with their life no they're checking if you're a liar they're checking if you are a liar why would you lie you're making a lot of money why would you be generous it's for Jewish Education because people like money people like money so for them the guy that's making three four 5 $600,000 a year a million dollar a year he's still doesn't want to pay $100,000 a year for Jewish Education why he rather spend it on bitcoin he rather spend it on movies he rather spend it on buying another property or something in uh some bad neighborhood and turning it around and making it into a good property you know you rather do something else with the money so it's unfort Al a lack of a lack of and an obsession with money and there's a reason why the says that the rabbis 250 rabbis these 250 rabbis were rabbis theu mosu chose him after he got the advice from last week to put certain rabbis that are going to run the bed mosu picked these rabbis those very same rabbis had a lot of money like all of had a lot of money they got some money from the Egyptians they got some money from yadik that they found the cave all the money from there they got some money from the Egyptians again after the yam they got money in three different ways they were all rich but because they were all looking at korak that was a multibillionaire in their own eyes they were all poor so they went to kak and guess what K says how much you want a million dollar here you go how much you want $10 million okay how much you want you have a meat campaign 5 million okay I'll be the 5 million outside 5 million outside how much you want how much you want how much you want and before you know it everybody got from sounds good right generous yeah but also became in their eyes why because the one that's a owner of the hundred is also the owner of the uh opinion so before you know what thear says that K became in their eyes became the biggest Rabbi in the world always right why he had the money so when he eventually decided to go against mhu all of those same rabbis that mosenu put in place went against mosenu why money money guys that's the tun were they poor no but in their eyes they were in their eyes they were and unfortunately this is very common thing in the world today surprised anybody's even you know thinking twice about this there are many rich people that feel poor in fact this is also that the person that has 100 wants 200 person has 200 wants 400 person has 400 once 800 meaning the more money a person has if he has an obsession with money he's uh always going to feel like he's missing more meaning if he has a million he actually feels like he is missing less than the guy that has 50 million because the guy that has 50 million thinks he's missing 50 million because he wants always more than what he has and that's a reality that's unfortunately a reality or person that loves money will never have enough money and a person that love money will not even die with half of what he uh what he desired so there's a lot of me there's a lot of teachings in regards to money in the in the uh throughout the sages and so on uh and unfortunately this is a uh not because everybody's poor it's because everybody has a or many people had the wrong ideology the wrong understanding of the purpose of of money in fact there is a um a new K that uh we uh uh we discussed with somebody yesterday that will publicize as a short Shi that talks about the whole concept of money whether you should pray for a lot of money or not maybe we'll publish it tomorrow B uh but either way it's a uh it's it's not a matter of uh people giving takaka to uh people that were needy in reality but people that believe they were needy [Music]
