Purim 5778 The War Between Mordechai, HaMan, and AchashveRosh

[Music] we um here the aventur breast center again bem uh today we're going to take a little bit of a break off of the the uh M series and talk a little bit more about uh and so learn some musar from the story itself I've been working on a uh paper about it for a while now uh it's not easy because when you write something it's not like when you talk and uh it's a very good idea we'll try we'll try to uh expand on it tonight if you have any questions or we Regard in the holiday this is the time to ask uh also the sh will be or to marel Medina and also to Lana but Sarah Sarah but Lana um David benri Doris Bora elisheva K but Sarah dor but Mercedes and all of will have so is a obligation it's the core obligation of puim and if you really think about puim it's no different than the Mitzvah of mza and the reason why is mza is one of those mitv there has mazal what's mazal mazal meaning that it has success for the most part Mo the overwhelming majority of Jews have a muuza in their house whether they're Orthodox modern Orthodox conservative reform you know secular now you have even uh the the Christians that also call themselves messianics they have mes even though their mes are uh they have JC peny in there or they have the cross in there m but nonetheless the whole issue of it's not one of those MIT that you have to convince people to do it somebody moves out of their parents' house within uh very short period of time they realize oh I got to put him as got to put him ASAP something bad happens for somebody in the house even if they don't keep Shabbat they don't keep kosher they're married to a non-jew they uh kill people on the side they uh kill people in front of everyone whatever they do what do they want to do can you check my well maybe you check your heart too though no no I think it's the because the IRS came to audit me they're saying all the money I'm getting from uh from murdering people for the mafia they say that it's I'm not paying enough taxes so maybe you should stop murdering no no no it's the mza it's the mza it's the it's so mza people hold hold it in high regards and it is it is we uh talked about it briefly on Sunday on the uh series that we're having amazing questions about God I showed you guys that the the custom of kissing the M on your way in on your way out we actually learned from onos onos the righteous convert when the uh Caesar wanted to arrest him he sent him his soldiers and the soldier saw Ulus kissed him he ask him what is this why you kissing him is he says because your king he is afraid so he hides behind the castle and he sends you to protect him my king he's not afraid of anything I just have to remember that he's there and he protects me inside the house and outside the house said oh that okay we want to be juice to your king protects you we want to be juu they're all converted and we learned this from now mza is something huge gives you protection in the house outside of the house and most Jews do it unfortunately many Jews they know how to spend a half a million dollars plus on a house but you tell them that a solid mza is going to cost them 1002 200 $300 they already say you're gav you're Thief you tell them listen my mza my front door is a $5,000 mza they're like oh something's wrong with you somebody somebody robbed you somebody robbed you it was $5,000 somebody robbed you I said if I could pay $100,000 for it I would and if you wanted to give me a million dollars for it I wouldn't give it to you a million I wouldn't give it to you I'm that serious M my front door you give me a million dollars for it I wouldn't give it to you cash I wouldn't give it to you for a million dollars I don't know if you could say maybe I know a little bit about M or maybe I don't know enough and I realize it's worth a lot who knows either way you're not buying it but sometimes people tell me you have some tell yeah we can get you m i only deal with high quality mes I don't deal with the stuff that you can get uh from your local guide for 50 60 bucks you want a good solid mza 200 300 500,000 depends depends how how good of a quality want mza that's just for the scroll the M that we're giving away to uh some of our bigger donors they $500 M good quality M somebody say why my my mza is top quality my RAB I wrote it $70 I said okay $70 is $70 what you going to get for $70 nothing's wrong with it it's no Kosher nothing wrong with it that's $70 somebody says listen I uh I bought a quar million dollar Bentley I said oh4 million dollar belly might be a good car I said I have a uh 30,000 Hyundai he said okay $30,000 Hyundai hopefully you can get here no $30,000 works oh okay $250,000 Bentley also works but $250,000 Bentley obviously everybody knows it's a better car not because of the price because of the engine the $500 mza is not because of the price it's better somebody could be really a thief and tell you listen a million dollars mza and if you're sck you're going to buy for a million dollars who knows it's not because of the million dollars that it's better it's because of the engine how's it written who wrote it how did they write it are they a kosher person they have they dip in a mik before every single letter or just maybe once in a while they keep Shabbat or is it a computer that wrote it for you you bought it on eBay somebody told me yeah I bought my M for $30 only on eBay I said yeah the computer made a made a 100% profit on that computer wrote theza I said I'll be surprised if it's actually even a clu meaning it's an actual scroll be surprised he goes why wouldn't it be I said for $35 I think just the scroll will cost that much he checked in M says yeah you're right it's just a piece of paper but the but the bite but the the house he says the house of the of the mza the casing he said I spent $250 on that I said you should have switched it $30 in the casing $250 in the mza but either way laugh as much as we want the reality is loves the loves it it it's goodah it's easy mitvah but I'm telling you that pu they love even more ping they love even more and the reason why is if you think about it 2,500 years ago me the the event of me happened was in danger agreed with as well got paid cash a down payment of $384 million 10,000 I said 334 the other day it's actually 384 $384 Million worth of silver and for that he agreed and if you look at chapter seven of the M after they greed what do they do what do you mean you just agreed to mass murder an entire people millions and millions of people millions of people are going to die right now they going to die you just signed off you got $384 million that $384 million is a down payment to go kill millions and millions of people tens of millions of people you don't have a little bit of saf in your heart you don't have a little bit of like a you know what some of them are going be babies what do they do me skinny the baby some of they going to be little children playing in the playground what they do the little children some of them are going to be women nice women what they do some of them are GNA be good people what do they do to you you're going to go kill them inai in a strange unusual death hang them put them on crosses cut them up sell them in the mark what are you going to do to them and all you can say is that's it you don't have a little bit of a little bit of like you know what poor people you know do but poor people tough for them nothing not not a bone in your body feels bad a little bit H we know he was a the the it's in his bones not in his blood in his bones in his bones he hated that's in his bones he's created like that on the other hand okay the says page 12 daddy was a bigger anti-semite than uh than Haman but why and even if you're anti-semite like many of the anti-semites All Over America today even if you hate them don't you feel bad when you see somebody bleeding all over the floor even if it's not your people even if you don't like him you don't feel a little bad are you that much of a BMA you that much of an animal were you a lion in the middle of the jungle on the Discovery Channel chasing a gazelle you don't feel bad nothing and as a side note for all of you who are enjoying America like the rest of us America is changing America is changing no different than shushan changed no different than Spain changed no different than Germany changed an article came out in the LA Times not that I read the papers often unless it's a something critical was sent to me that they did a research and of course this is politically motivated in order to pin everything on Donald Trump with or without the politics the reality speaks volumes and they say that the anti-Semitism in America our Ally has increased by over 110% in the last year 110% in the last year we're not talking about yeah you know what last year they killed three people this year they're going to kill 3.1 last year there was a 100 Graves destroyed this year 101 ah it's 1% it happens over a 100% increase in anti-Semitism in America already the last report that came out said that over 40% of Americans declare themselves openly as anti-Semitic now if you do the math 40% is like a small number like oh at least 60% Like Us come on you know look at the cup half full why you so negative why you so negative all the time 60% like us no 40% admit we don't know about the other 60% what does 40% actually mean 40% what does it mean 40% America has approximately 400 million people 400 million people 40% is exactly 160 million people 160 million people that live in the number one Ally of Israel hate Israel meaning 10 times the amount of the Jewish population hate them just here we're not talking about the Arabs two billion of them we're not talking about all the other countries in Europe and so on and so forth talking about just here but moving to Israel's not so easy eventually it's going to become easy because we're not going to have a choice we're not going to have a choice I be honest with you I enjoy the convenience of America as much as you do we talked about Aliyah we talk about it a lot going staying have a little bit of a different dilemma than most people because of what we do because of the kiru the work we do is much more necessary here than it is in Israel there's many rabbis that do kiru in Israel there's very few in America even though there's many rabbis there's very few that actually do kiru there's very few that actually tell the truth and re realistically speaking most of the people are online anyway so even that is a uh not as uh great an argument as it was a few years ago but anyway still we debate we debate do you want to go do you want to stay do you want to go do you w to stay you start thinking about the logistics Logistics of moving and this is M to myself has nothing to do with you and I have to be honest with you this is M this is a rebuke on myself because this was actually on the list at one point so you know you have a lot of conveniences in America most of us don't realize these conveniences like for example internet internet internet is standard in America highspeed internet not dial up highp speed internet is standard in America if you don't have highspeed internet in America you're probably living in you know your neighbor is a cow your next door neighbor is maybe a cow's friend and the next door neighbor for that is a cow's cousin you know but in reality most of America you have highspeed internet especially in the cities in Israel it's not everywhere they have internet but it's not high speed and for what I do I need it that's that's a convenience that's very necessary where I want to live in Israel doesn't actually have it it's a problem you know what the other act the other inconveniences Amazon you're all laughing at me but you all know it's exactly true for you too I'm not the only rash Amazon why because I don't like to leave the house only leave the house is an emergency what's an emergency go save or go do groceries for my wife that's it that's an emergency other than that I'm not leaving the house and even the groceries we already set up a situation where I don't really have to go 90% of the time other than that I don't leave the house I don't leave the house why what am I going to go see everyone's naked the whoever is not naked is probably trying to do something wrong anyway what are you going to go what are you going to do outside the house a nice woman sends me an email yet today and don't take this the wrong way this is the truth she said I'm hope hopefully she's watching this very zealous keeps no questions in a Jewish Community actually here in Florida and she says to me you know me and the girls decided to go out out to celebrate some birthday and have a dinner together and went to so and so restaurant and I noticed that the restaurant doesn't have the same K as what I believe is acceptable I'll leave out the rest of the details the point is it's acceptable not accept say we have to double check that we can't just believe people's opinions but but the whole time I'm reading the story I'm thinking okay she's actually one of the few people in the world that actually cares about Kut what kind of Kut why most of us you want to go to a restaurant all you care is that there's a K on the door if there's a K on the door I'm eating anything that moves anything that moves I'm eat if it doesn't move I'm eating it I'm get two meals if it's a if it has a kosher on the door I'm eating it you don't care which Rabbi which M which ran which you don't care why it's kosher it's very different in Israel by the way there's raban and then is's the the um badat the uh higher level there levels of kosher and then there is somebody selling kosher food but he's not Kosher why the food's kosher but he's not Kosher so so the restaurant's not Kosher if he doesn't keep Shabbat he doesn't get a kosher certification in America it's very different anyone that's willing to sell kosher food is kosher it's a problem it's a problem sometimes even the food's not Kosher and the people are not Kosher nothing's kosher but they say kosher like we found out a month ago in this other restaurant in Florida but anyway she sends me like listen I saw this restaurant it didn't have a uh the you know the the kosher certification that was uh that I used to have and I'm having doubts and I try to tell my girlfriends maybe we shouldn't eat here we should go somewhere else there's so many choices bash there's no end to the koser restaurants bem you can find one in every corner in Florida it's not like a uh a uh Delaware uh Farm over there where there's the only kosher is what you're going to slaughter you have you have a lot said let's go by go find to a place it's SM kosher according to her opinion because and she got very upset when they ignored everything she said said listen this is a good place we're going to eat da da now I'm trying to respond to her question cuz she's very upset so first and foremost you cannot rebuke people if you're upset by default why the mitvah in The Book of Leviticus says You must rebuke your brother but don't come to sin what does it mean don't sin because of the rebuke how could I sin I'm telling him to keep Shabbat how could I sin I'm telling him to keep how could I sin I'm telling him to stop eating novah no it's not Mitzvah automatically why if you're angry it's not a Mitzvah why says um anger says is the equivalent of anger being angry is the equivalent of idol worship like you just went to Chinatown bought a statue of 50 and started the praying to it like the people in India every time a cow uh you know passes the uh Road they'll stop and they do why you got angry you threw a remote across the room you got angry you yell at your wife you yell at your husband yell big deal why all of us do it all of us get angry it's a problem but the tah says not just don't angry specifically when you're rebuking specifically when you're rebuking don't get angry why then notv then the rebuke is not going to work the rebuke is not going to work if you are angry why he's just thinking why is this guy telling me what to do why is he telling me what to do who is he tell me what to do instead of actually listening to what you're saying you know what maybe she's right it's not Kosher enough you know what maybe she's right I shouldn't have a wig you know what he's right maybe I should keep Shabbat you know what he's right maybe I should leave the Goya I should leave the go you're right instead of thinking about what you're saying they're thinking why is he Ying me who he thinks he is who do he think he is to yell at me I know more than him I'm more than him it's now it becomes personal anyone want pizza Rael God bless him gave you guys Pizza you could eat it just make sure to uh if you're if you're going to eat it you have to do otherwise you just wait till the end of the but you should eat it don't problem I don't get offended he brought it for you you can eat it so anyway first and foremost don't get angry if you get angry it's not mitvah it's not a Mitzvah to rebuke if you're angry you could look angry like me I look angry all the time by Nature my nature I look angry all the time my wife always tells me why people always scared of you I said yeah why I'm such a jolly guy she goes you're the scariest guy in the world I said me I'm scary she because you look scary by default I look scary she tells me by default but if you actually get to know I'm not I'm not so scary but by by my nature I guess I look scary you could look scary you could even look angry but you cannot be angry if you're angry novah mitvah toilet paper used novah no mitvah if you're angry no Mitzvah number one number two you can't just assume certain things you have to have proof in Judaism we work based off of proofs not based off of hearsay not based off oh he said she said maybe yes no no no we work off of proof before we go and we say listen this guy him and his Sho and his K and everything that about him is we have to have 100% proof not even 99% is enough before I went and I started telling you guys about Goldberg and his uh clan of missionaries we tried everything we could to stop it privately that for even before we tried to stop it we tried verify if it's even true because why would you why would an orthodox an orthodox why would he bring the number one missionary in the world to AO I mean it's something you have to be smart ham H from from from G is saying this guy's an idiot ham ham was SC listen this guy said he should be right next to me this guy's an idiot so you don't have to so I said no it couldn't be true that he bringing a missionary to SCH so I double checked bringing a Miss I checked I bringing I said okay maybe he doesn't know maybe he doesn't know it's a missionary so I asked him you know it's a missionary yeah yeah know but he's not going to talk about it I said wait talk about what he's not going to talk about what is he going to talk about purpose of life I'm going to learn the purpose of life from a Catholic missionary in a Haman is laughing he's laughing his butt off and G he's laughing come on no come on I'm waiting for you the Villa is right next to me he's waiting for you this guy is I have a villa for you tell so I said okay maybe he just doesn't see right doesn't see left so I start giving him Torah proofs I'm giving a danan that's supposed to know the Torah by heart Torah proofs he's not allowed to do it what does he do control old delete you know what control delete is he restarts the computer just pretty much like he does has no interest whatsoever in talking to me everything doesn't even go from one one ear to the other because if it goes from one ear to the other a little bit is left when something goes one ear out the other a little bit of left a little bit of the remnants a left nothing it doesn't even go one ear rejects everything that I say we tried this we tried a few other things long story short before we came out and started saying there's a very very big asson about to happen a very big danger disaster about to happen before that we have to double check we have to verify we have to confirm you can't just say oh listen this this guy looks not Kosher therefore he's not Kosh he looks like ham therefore he's Haman because sometimes the person looks like ham but he's sometimes a person looks like ham on the exterior why he's wearing a t-shirt the he doesn't have a keeper or sometimes he has a keeper it's like on the side like it's falling off all the time like that's the style now sometimes some people have the keep on the side I don't know why it seems so uncomfortable but it's on the side like you know that back in the day when I was young the style was to have your hat backwards or like to the side you know as a little kid it was backwards then I grew up and the the the hat would be to the side like this like you had to wear it to like the side like if you wee it straight like you're supposed to wear a hat something's wrong with you you have to wear it to the side so people wear the keeper to the side like this it's like it's like falling off he looks like come on he looks like he's a pretend but then you start talking to them sadik you start talking to them you actually hear about some of the MIM that he's doing some of the things he's doing sadik supports K helps people keep Shabbat so on and so forth so looks can be deceiving so you can't just pretend listen I know you don't know you have to double check so I said this first thing is you can't be angry second thing is you can't just say such and such about certain people if you don't know for sure no but I heard from so and so heard from so and so is not enough in Judaism we're not the newspaper we're not journalists we don't just write a story based on assumptions that's not how Judaism is why people's lives are in Risk you're destroying somebody's reputation and might as well just murder him but that's the answer that I gave her but between you and me and hopefully she hears this because she hears some of my sh and some of our friends also hear my sh the whole time I'm thinking something completely different I don't take this the wrong way this is a myth the whole time okay that's the answer everything I just said to you but it's not really the answer it's the answer but it's not really the answer what's the answer the answer is a question what's the question what are you doing with a bunch of girls going out at night to a restaurant that's the answer what are you doing don't you have kids at home don't you have a husband at home what are you doing going out at night with a bunch of girls what's going to come out of it happy birthday to you you know who they celebrate happy birthday to that's the only two people that had Birthday Parties By the way in the entire Tor two people had birthday parties second of all what's going to happen at night what's going to happen at night why are you going out with girls at night what's going to happen who's out at night wolves are out at night guys that don't care if you're married or you're not married at night non kosher things happen at night what are you doing as a kosher woman going out at night no I was just out with my friends I know that's what they're going to tell me I was just out with my friends what's the big deal we just wanted to eat eat at home I want to hang out with my friends bring them to your house and even than that not so much why the reality isab is that women love to speak almost as much as I like to speak and if you're speaking to one on-one with a person it's good maybe you can have some you have a group of women it's very diff very very difficult why 99% of the conversation is 99% of the conversation is complete nonsense that's the reality how do I know girls tell me the women tell me all the time like oh yeah I went out I regret it I went with my friends I regreted all they talked about is this one and that one and this one and that one it's a story after story after Story for years I'm hearing this same thing secular World religious world it's the same thing so what's going to come out of it of course a Jewish woman does not go out at night she doesn't go out at night you want to go out at night go out with your husband husband no problem go out as much as you want enjoy the marriage enjoy each other no problem there have no problem going out if that's what you want to do with your life fine no problem as long as it doesn't get in a way of you raising your kids as long as it doesn't get in way in a way of you being a mom of your husband learning to and so on no problem but having girls nights out is only a modern thing abai our grandparents did not do such a thing our grandparents did not go out with the girls they didn't have girls nights out they didn't have guys nights out this is not just for women it's also for men this whole night out thing let's go have a bunch of drinks together as the guys that that never that that was not one of the things we do on a regular basis maybe you have a drink as you finish a you finish AAR tractate you want to have a drink no maybe there's a a little celebration for marriage little celebration for mitvah specific events that are rare and not often fine but just the night out once a week or twice a month or whatever it is this is M this is not this is not the way am is acts this is not what we do and that's really the whole story of puim the whole story of puim started with us trying to be G the whole story started with us trying to be had a party he said no you g to come to the party no I'm Jewish okay so what's the problem if you're Jewish come to the party no we can only drink uh kosher wine kosher wine will give you the best kind how many you want no but we only eat kosher Chinese food okay no problem give Chinese food no problem no but we only have gilter fish kosher oh no problem all what else do you have what else do you want come just come Kosh P I'm coming we went to the party of the non-jews even though the greatest Among Us said don't go said don't go but we went why because Jews are not supposed to fraize with go not because they're bad people some of them are wonderful some of them are even better than some Jews I know some go that are much better than most Jews not some most they some of them much Treasures Treasures but still to go to wedding parties and this party and that party and get togethers and dinners with the non-jews that's not what we do why we have to remain separate we have to remain separate as a nation we have to remain separate simply because we don't want to have anyone think not from the Jewish side and not from the non-jewish side that it's okay for our children to get married we never want anyone from either side to think that it's okay to behave like the other just like the non-jew is not allowed to keep Shabbat the Jew is not allowed to violate Shabbat same thing you don't want any confusion there's enough confusion already in the world and because we didn't feel like this was a relevant mitvah already 2,500 years ago only a thousand years after we got T hasem said okay time for a wakeup call and he almost brought the Holocaust because of it but as you read the Miga you'll see that this meila is full of Miracles we call them coincidences because it's not like where in Egypt hasem split the ocean after we left Egypt or he turned the the water into blood the blood into water the frogs came in frogs left animals from the uh from the North Pole came and started killing Egyptians but they didn't kill Jews ice and fire and the same thing and a lot of things that are Beyond nature there weren no such open Miracles but countless coincidences that are really Miracles happened to am throughout all of puim throughout this entire story and saved am is from a potential Holocaust because when Haman wrote a check he then decid no no no check maybe he's not going to believe me so let me just give him the cash he brought the cash with him he brought the cash with him he like Hey listen when somebody sees the cash already that's half an agreement if you just show somebody the money it's already half the agreement now okay now what you want to say now I'll listen to you now that you brought the money now it's half the agreement already he brought the money with him he gave him the money and then he said he didn't think about the fact that he's about to kill millions and millions of people he didn't care about the fact that he may be married to a Jew he didn't think about the fact that they don't deserve it really they didn't think about any of this stuff why cash but countless Miracles happened that saved us saved us from a potential Holocaust this potential Holocaust was one 1,000 years approximately before the founding of Germany and almost 2,000 years before the founding of the Nazi party meaning 2,000 years before the real Holocaust of Hitler that actually happened where he killed six million of our brothers and sisters we avoided a potential Holocaust that would have actually been worse would have actually been worse these Miracles is a story we hear every year the story is a story we hear every year this the holiday of puim is relatively not obligatory doesn't obligate you to do much it's a very very few mitv you have to do each person has to give two is a meal you have to give somebody you have to give two meals to another person not to the same person because he's hungry you give him two meals two different people two different people you have to give him means he has to be able to do two significant so if you're giv him just a basket full of candy that's not Mish it's nice he'll say thank you and he'll give it to his kids or maybe he'll be like me and eat it himself but it's not M can have the candy but it has to have something significant that could be considered a meal a meal has what either or bread so it could be Wafers it could be cake it could be cookies or it could be a Hala bread or if you know him really well and he trust you you can make him a sandwich most people today don't do it anymore because they don't trust each other that's the reality they don't trust each other they don't trust that number one your food is Kos sure but even more so they don't trust that your food is tasty so they're just going to throw it down the garbage why they go to a restaurant for 10 bucks to buy a b sandwich they know for sure it's good so if you're G to buy him something have something that's wrapped wrapped cake wrapped like individually wrapped cakes individually wrapped bread something like that and obviously has to have a kosher sign visible on it and a drink and you can add the candies if you want you each person has to do two of those so husband and wife have to give you give to two men as the husband and the wife has to give to two women not the woman gives to a man and the man gives to woman shalom it's not modest it's not modest no but he's my friend since high school okay once you get married he's no longer your friend there's no such thing as platonic relationships in Judaism so first Mitzvah second Mitzvah you have to give money to the poor each person has to give the value of two meals each meal let's say is $10 you have to give 20 bucks if you know poor people they give it to them if the poor people happen to be Jewish great if the poor people happen to be tell me wow that's that's like the million dollar M there's the homeless guy local homeless guy that's a mitv that's like the that's you know good it's kosher 50 bucks then there is a Jew that that's it's 150 bucks but if it's a that's it's a million dollar why his whole life is Tora anyone knows people that learn T you give it to them if you don't know them you can give it to we're giving it to we have a few people that gave we gave and so on and so forth it's part of what we do anyway but anyone that wants to give we have a uh people that we know in that are real that we're going to send it to so each person has to give two of these meals 20 bucks third is which we talked about about already on each person has to give the equivalent of which is $5.50 I did the math is $5.50 this year each year it changes because it's based on the value of uh silver the next mitvah next mitvah is to hear the M the Miga reading is read Twice first on the Eve of Pim which is tomorrow night and the second is the next morning so obviously if you have kids you can't go with your wife unless you have a babysitter so what excuse my my my wife and I do is usually most have two readings two readings at night two readings in the morning so I go to the first reading or second one whichever one it is I go to one reading and then I come home and I watch the kids and she goes to the second reading or if I Versa usually I go to the second reading because it's later at night uh and I rather her be home earlier and I watch the kids same thing the next day both men and women are obligated to hear the meila now you're going to ask wait a minute isn't there a rule in Judaism that women are not obligated to fulfill mitv that abound to time for example example women are not obligated to lay why because it's bound to time you have to do it at a specific time during the day prayer prayer every day men are obligated to do it three times a day women only once a day which one whichever one they want whichever prayer they want they want to pray sh pray you want to pray pray you want to pray pray but you don't have to pray all of them and you don't have to pray anyone specific you just pick whichever one you want just pray once a day that's the obligation for women men on the other hand three times a day why it's bount the time B the time and many other mitv that men do are bound to time and therefore women are not obligated to do them there are only a couple of MIT that bound the time that women are obligated to observe one of them is Shabbat why shabbat is for all of Judaism someone that does not keep Shabbat by driving on Shabbat by smoking cigarettes or hookas or whatever they smoke these days on Shabbat or watching television on Shabbat or Cooks on Shabbat or works on Shabbat unless any of those things are tied to PES meaning they're tied to saving somebody else's life that person is violating Shabbat so if somebody is uh is dying and you have to cook them a meal to save their life does listen it's an unusual uh you have to cook them a nice juicy steak on the barbecue onat and if you don't they're going to die strange but let's say let's say it's a hypothetical story it's a mitvah for you to cook them meaning you should not even do it in an unusual way you should do it as you would do it any other day why you're saving a life if someone needs to go to the hospital it's a Mitzvah to turn on the car and drive the car to the hospital to take them to the hospital mitah it's not that it's oh you shouldn't or you should be careful maybe make sure that no one's watching no no no mitvah mitvah to go take him to the hospital why you're saving their life mitah but if you're doing those things just for your own tone your own desire you're cooking a stick cuz you want a stick you're working because you want to just make money not because you're a doctor you're saving somebody's life you're a doctor but doesn't really have to go work on Shabbat but you want to work on Shabbat because you want to buy an extra boat you want to buy an extra car you want to buy an extra Diamond you want to make more money you're not working to save a life you're working to make more money like there's one guy that stopped coming to my shim because he says I already did chuva I said I'm not so sure sure go why I keep Shabbat I keep Shabbat there's a lot more than you know than just keeping Shabbat and probably you don't know Shabbat he goes no no I'm okay we're having this conversation on Shabbat in the middle of the conversation middle of the conversation he tells me oh yeah you know what I have to go check my phone one Shabbat I'm like we're walking in the neighborhood and he's like all right hold on I got to go check my phone where you have to check your phone Shabbat goes no I'm a doctor I'm like you're a dentist for little children your dentists for fouryear olds that have parents that are probably not so smart sending their kids to dentist because the kids tooth are going to fall off anyway it's all teeth that are not going to stay anywhere they're four-year olds but they want their teeth to look like movie star so they send them to a family dentist for kids even though none of the teeth they're going to stay they're all going to fall off whatever that's your job good for you but you can't no I'm a dentist I'm it's not P but I did cha I did Chua I did cha everybody thinks they did Chu everybody needs to do CH do the need to do CH the rabbis need to do CH the need to do chva the going have to do everybody has to do chva everybody has to do chuva for something so someone that drives on Shabbat to go save a life why it's a but if you're driving on Shabbat because you feel like driving or because you think you're saving a life but in reality you're not you're just going to make more money you're violating Shabbat now if you think that you're going to Save a Life Meaning there's someone that's a woman that's about to give birth that's considered you take it to the doctor you drive on shabat take it to the doctor they get it to the doctor and as it happens so often they say oh no it's just a uh thing where you don't have to uh you're not going to have the baby right now come back in a couple days you're not do yet it happens sometimes the woman has contractions and doesn't happen to be that she's not giving birth did you violate Shabbat now the beginning it was mitvah but now you didn't save any life because the doctor say there no baby is it now sin no still mitvah why at the time it was P at the time still but you're not to go back home though you have to wait till the end of Shabbat so now if somebody violates Shabbat this week's Paras it's like coordinates with our hasem said to Moses saying now you speak to the children of Israel saying however you must observe my Shabbat for it is a sign between me and you for your generations to know that I am AEM who makes you holy and the next verse says you shall observe the Shabbat for it is Holy to you its desecrators shall be put to have death upon death for whoever does work on it that Soul shall be cut off from among its people so here is one of the sources of what it means to violate Shabbat tells this Shabbat that's the deal that's the Covenant meaning no Shabbat No Deal you could keep every mitvah in the book you could create you don't keep Shabbat no deal no how do we know from the literal translation of the verse itself we're not even looking at commentary simple translation first and foremost he says death upon death the desecrators have death upon death is two deaths so first death means that in the times of the times of the mdash that would actually kill them on the spot if there is evidence that this person violated Shabbat there is Witnesses he violated Shabbat they kill him how the most vicious hardest death penalty of all there's four different types of death penalties this one is the worst one why this is the worst sin in Judaism now the says okay now there's no more s there's no more death penalty it says even though there's no more death penalty because there's no s there's no mikash the death penalty still applies only now it's from heaven and they give an example he says someone that violat Shabbat by let's say for example working his cow or riding his horse the equivalent of driving a car will have a bull run over him sounds familar familiar it's called a car accident it's called an airplane crash a September 11th a terrorist attack same thing there are an enormous tens of thousands of Jews die every single year because of car accidents it's not an accident it's from sham it's from sham and there's an unusual number of them dying while driving on Shabbat yeah in Israel specifically that's why they did the study huh huh there you go 33% according to amos's research 33% of all accidents in Israel happen on Shabbat meaning that Shabbat is only one day of the week it's one day of the week it's a uh 14% of the week 14% of the week has 33% of the deaths so that's the first M that's the first death second yat what is yat yat means it's second death how could such a person die twice they don't die twice it means that the second death Isa theira dies no more but then if that wasn't enough it says and that Soul shall be cut off among its people if cut off would have meant death then we wouldn't have had the first two words but it's all in the same sentence he already died once you already died twice this world and the next World what's what does it mean the soul is cut off from its people people according to the rambam that literally means that person's Judaism is on suspension they are now in the eyes of hem considered 100% an idol worshipper % OFW however much it is sad as it is it's a reality sad as it is it's a reality currently according to PW Research Center 90% of the Jews in America do not observe Shabbat so if there's approximately six million Jews in America 5.4 are considered 100% Idol worshippers in the eyes of hasem if that doesn't make you sad you should double check if you're actually Jewish because one of the of a Jew is Mercy if you don't have mercy for your brother and sister being considered an idol worshipper in the eyes of hem the only eyes that matter is a problem with you more than them they're probably violating sh because they don't know you know and you don't care it's a problem so now a person that violates it has a very very serious problem and we learned from our par we learned from AA but Pim also obligates women to do a Mitzvah that's bound to time the reason why we mentioned Shabbat if you forgot already is because it's a Mitzvah the women are also obligated to do because it's bound to time but now puim also obligates women to do a Mitzvah that's bound to time what's mitvah hearing the Mig at night and in the morning why are women obligated to do this Mitzvah even though it's bound to time because the story of puim Saved both men and women women were part very much a significant part of the story and therefore they are obligated in this mitvah so that's the other mitvah so you have so far give gift to the poor here the Mig and the last one is for men only what is it get drunk now during the rest of the year during the rest of the year you're not allowed to just get drunk whenever you feel like it not allowed but says in page seven b says ra said one is obligated to become intoxicated with the wine on P him okay how do we know who what when and how until he's so drunk he's so intoxicated until he does not know the difference between cursed is am and blessed is throughout the every time we hear the word Aman everybody makes the with the groggers they make a lot of noise a little bit obnoxious actually but nonetheless they make it people forget to hear the M they just make the noise the whole time but in Tradition people make noise when they hear Aman why am is cursed it's like Hitler no different worse saved the day who doesn't whoever doesn't know also says where is he mentioned in the Tor where is he mentioned in the Tor first you could find them through Torah codes Torah codes which I mentioned there was a k that came out today something I mentioned a few years ago to Torah codes but it's also a literal a literal m in the Torah who the prophet Malachi the prophet Malachi is actually M Prophet Maliki is so the obligation is to get drunk until you don't know the difference and it tells a very unusual story there's many unusual stories in the gar they're very entertaining it says Raba and RAB Zer had a s together had a p him s together a PO him Feast together and they became intoxicated had a few too many drinks for mitvah and Raba got up and he killed RAB Zer they got so drunk that Raba sadik tados can revive the dead killed R another tados that can revive the Dead the next morning he wakes up he sees his body kesim is dead so Raba prayed to for mercy and brought back to life brought back Z to life the following year Raba sent an invite to RAB Zer no let's have the sud this year RAB Zer says no no no not this year not every year is puim meaning not every year we can rely on such a miracle you brought me back from the dead I'm scared of you but a question asked this question it's an amazing question the question is first and foremost you saw Gaba you saw how bad you got you got so drunk you killed your bud you went from being sadik to murderer why do you want to do it again why do you want to have another sud you if anything should stop drinking for the rest of your life but not only wants to do it again same person same time everything nothing changes why because the significance of this Mitzvah is huge if you understand what it mean means if you understand what it means if you're just getting drunk like a lot of people just get drunk and act like fools it's not a Mitzvah if you understand what it means a Mitzvah one of the says it's such a big Mitzvah that it's considered as if you fasted an entire week if you understand what it means now Pim is a very big time for SCH very big time for prayers to get good things from sh but you have to stay away from sin and one of the things that people do is a very big mistake that ruins the entire holiday for them is they stay drunk they get drunk and then instead of going to sleep like they're supposed to in the afternoon and let the alcohol get out of there system they got drunk they fulfilled the Mitzvah now you got to stop being drunk why you have to go to beet what do they do they go to be half drunk or fully drunk thinking it's a mitvah to pray drunk what they don't realize is that someone that goes inside a b drunk is death penalty in sh even if they have mitv likeu someone goes to be drunk someone goes to a besset high on marijuana or cocaine or some pills or he had a bunch of drinks in his system he goes to he starts praying to hem in sh it's 100% death penalty how do we know the two sons of Kes to such an extent thear says they were bigger than Moshe and Aon they were bigger than them what did Hashem do he killed both of them why they had a drink before they went to K kashim not they get drunk just had one drink one drink killed him says you don't come to me like that you could do mitvah but can't pray to me at the same time it's do different things so rambam says what you should do is should have a drink and go to sleep go to sleep in the afternoon for an hour two hours whatever you need to get and then that's how this the liquor leaves your system you wake up but if it's still in your system you drank so much that it still didn't leave your system don't go to not allowed to pray drunk not allowed to pray drunk forget about drive that's a you can't drive but you cannot pray drunk no because people think driving people can understand no no it's I'm not alled to drive when I'm drunk because it's it's dangerous but if I pray it's a Mitzvah no no it's not a Mitzvah it's an a it's a big a people think they could do certain anytime no sometimes the sameah is giving isah giving on is but if you give it on Shabbat you write a check on Shabbat to the to the for a million dollars or you go on PayPal and you give a million dollars on Shabbat sin we don't want your money on Shabbat why sin so Mitzvah is not just a Mitzvah any time there's a certain time and place for mitv but RAB understood that this Mitzvah is a big mitvah why is it such a big Mitzvah what's the real meaning behind it that's the whole sh is about the meaning behind this Mitzvah why is it such a Mitzvah to drink why is it such a Mitzvah to drink so much that I forgot who m is and who am is instead of saying I'm saying instead of blessing I'm cursing him instead of cursing ham I'm blessing him that's how drunk you have to get why is it a Mitzvah it's a mitvah if the rest of the year you did it right if the rest of the year you blessed M and you cursed leg you cursed ham then it's a Mitzvah to get drunk and get confused if the whole year you're acting like ham and you frown upon the then it's Noah for you to drink you should never drink you should mourn mourn your own why because in they this guy has so now the question is what's the difference between the two what's the difference the obvious difference page 139 it says on the verse in Deuteronomy 31:18 says where is in the t is a verse in the Tor it says hem says that I will conceal my face I will conceal my face and from here we see this is where St is in the Torah and you use Torah codes you count 12 12,196 letters from that letter and you find the name Estelle also but nonetheless what is the real meaning the says the meaning is that there are many things that are hidden in the meila many Secrets inside the meila just like hasem says he's gonna hide his face and he's not even mentioned one time in the enti but it's still part of our T does not have aem's name even one time but it's still a critical part of our tanak it's still considered a sees to such an extent that the gar says that the and would leave would abandon their services at the bet mikdash in order to go here the the the biggest in the world that all day all night all they do is learn T they're obligated to stop learning T to go he the M meaning to go here the m is not just like oh yeah it's nice I'll just read it at home I'll read it from my it's nice I'll read it when I get a chance I'll read it tomorrow I read it today I read it next week I read it already last week why have to read it again no the says inil 3A that it's such a significant mitvah to go hear this m that the that ran mikdash stopped went to go stopped went to stopped went to why is such a big deal we know from the book of Jeremiah if not for my Covenant day and night the rules of the of the uh world will cease to exist meaning if somebody does not learn T somewhere in the world 24 hours a day I'll destroy the world meaning that right now all the all the all the big rabbis that are learning T they have to stop learning T why go which means in reality if all the rabbis in the world stop learning toat the entire world will be destroyed Shem says stop learning to go hear the M you're putting the entire world at risk to go hear the migil meaning that there's a very big lesson here in this Miga what's the big deal why is this so important to go hear this m we heard it last year what the story changed this year loses why decides to slap a this year H man falls on his face and uh he dies in the beginning of the story we don't have to deal with him the whole time what have the story is the same story why do you have to hear it you heard it last year anybody here didn't hear it last year year anybody here doesn't know the story of of me anybody here doesn't know the whole thing everybody heard it everybody knows the basics of the story I'm not telling you if you know all the mid the whole thing by heart you can quote me verse I'm not saying that you know the whole the story of M what happened okay I'll sum it up for you in two seconds beginning we have throws a party am shows up to the party no good hasm gets very upset puts a decree that am man is going to be given power to destroy but obviously already instilled The Cure before the ailment where before this whole thing happened killed his own wife vashi and married a Jew named Esther Esther had several names esta was one of her names but this is no different than many of the other sages in history each name had a different significance it's not that she was trying to hide her Judaism because Esther was how the Jews also knew heras was also a name that she knew her she wasn't trying to hide a Judaism with her name she tried to hide a Judaism with her without her name why because M told her hide hide your Judaism hide it he on the other hand publicly told the whole world he's a Jew the the Ben says what does it mean what's it mean that was a y what does it mean he says that he was visibly a Jew where someone from far away could identify oh that's the Jew over there why because he had long payas that were really big that you could identify him from far away oh that's a Jew it can't be an Arab it can't be a Persian it can't be a Syrian it can't be amalik it can't be uh somebody from uh you know I don't know uh a North Africa it can't be an America it's a Jew it's a Jew for sure why look at his PS and that's why the Ben says that anyone that shaves their PE their their side locks on purpose most likely violates their breit waste seed why what do one thing have to do with the other he says the bleed the ble that you have is something that makes you Jewish as a manit on the eth day Brit if you converted a later time you have to have Brit to be a Jew no Brit you're not a Jew but that's a deal that's a covenant between you and hasem that you must protect but nobody sees if you protected nobody sees if you're a Jew he says to be visibly Jewish you can't tell from the breit so how can you tell from the looks from the exterior from the exterior M on the exterior you know he's a Jew why he was not trying to pretend to be a non-jew he didn't want to wear their clothes he didn't want to use their names he didn't want to act like them he didn't want to do business with them he didn't want to go to their parties he didn't want to be friends with them you know why everything about him is a Jew everything about him is a Jew but if somebody hurts their visibility of their Judaism meaning on the exterior they don't look so Jewish why their hair is shaved they got a nice uh what do they call fade they got a little fade they got a couple of streaks like they're basketball player they look in a mirror half the day with the pose like they're skiing looking at the mirror as much as their wife you know the the suit is extra tight to make sure that everybody sees their figure even though they're usually like this they still they want everybody to see the embellishment of their of eating suit is extra tight pants are extra tight hair is all fly you got they look like a movie star they got a little and that thing get a haircut exactly on the same day day every month just to make sure they always look fly they look like everybody else the keeper gets smaller and smaller and sometimes it's so small you can't see it why they put it in their pocket when they put it back on they go to they go keep is like this outs you're Jewish you're Jew you want to put the guys ask him you want to put you're Jewish I can't tell if he's a Jew you can't tell if he's a Jew why no no nothing you cannot tell if this guy's a Jew says if you can't tell he's a Jew because he's hiding it that's because he's also violating the stuff that's hidden already he's violating his breit also if he's violating the exterior breit he's violating the interior breit so when we meet him in chapter two of the when it says that means we can see it we can see it this me something we're all obligated to hear so we read this p on good the rest of the story stays the same why is the story so significant that theim have to stop servicing inash why is the story so significant that the leim have to stop servicing the BET mikash why is the story so significant that the the only ones that are visibly Jewish meaning the of the world they also have to stop most of us are more like has stop learning talk go hear the yeah but the story didn't change why have to hear it again last year H lost year he's going to lose also next year he's going to lose also why do I have to hear it again what's the message of the story the message of the story actually has roots in this mitvah this Mitzvah of getting drunk why the Mitzvah of getting drunk say get so drunk that you confuse whether modai is blessed or he's cursed and whether Haman is blessed or he's cursed why because the rest of the year you did it right the rest of the year you knew for sure the is blessed and ham is cursed only one day a year you're allowed to make the mistake because that's a Mitzvah the one time a year now why is this such a big deal because the page 139 says just like AEM HD his name and told her he's gonna hide himself at the time of punishment in he hid himself during the times of Haman he hid himself during the time of the Holocaust he hit himself throughout all of history of where we had a decree against but in the end he always saved us sometimes less of us ended the disaster then we started but nonetheless as a nation we stuck around just like he's hidden the lessons in this meila are also hidden the secret of the meila is also hidden now what is the secret why do I have to read this m year after year to such an extent that I have to stop learning tah what changed the story stayed the same did I miss the story for all these years have we been misunderstanding the story have we been reading the Miga and because of our spiritual laziness we just thought that the whole Miga is just about a story between a few people and that's it answer is yes we missed the story behind the story so first and foremost we're going to go over it briefly and I'll have the strength to tonight try to finish this article so I could send it out to everyone by tomorrow they'll have some more details but if not next year but the lessons in this Mig the lessons ofat all all year round especially to us is the generation of mashia and this is how if you look at the beginning of the you start learning about you start learning about ham you start learning about what makes one better than the other let's just see their behavior first person that you hear about is a controlled over 127 different countries in essence he controlled the entire world every country unlike today where people say oh America is the strongest country in the world because they have the strongest army he had more power than America how do we know because in America today we have a lot of weapons in America America which is good if there's a war America is more likely to win if you base things on nature base things on logic but that does not make them the most powerful country in history why because in reality America is a deor Nation meaning they borrowed money from everyone they owe an enormous amount of money and what actually makes them strong is not the weapons what makes them strong is that if their Market collapses if the debt Market collapses in America or the US dollar collapses all of the other countries in the world collapse with it why because they all depend on America paying them back the loan they all depend on the bonds that America issued to them maintaining value this is the reason why I would always tell my clients to never worry about America and China ever getting into a war America owes China way too much money in order for them to go to war so even if China hated the guts of America to such an extent that they wanted to murder them the reality is they still would refrain from going to war and the reason why is because America owes them an enormous amount of money which means that if they go to war immediately the value of the money the value of the bonds that China holds the that's based on a loan that they gave America drops in value which means it's like murder suicide you murder the other person and you commit suicide okay so you're going to go kill America but you're also killing your entire economy at the same time because the value of all the debt that you have goes down the values you're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars and then on top of that you lose your number one customer which is America also so the entire world is based on that that's your Wall Street lesson for today what makes America powerful is that they owe everybody money actually in the days of he was much more powerful why was he more powerful than America because everybody owed him money and everybody had to continue owing him money and they never paid back why because it would be continue increasing why taxes every single one of the countries 127 countries had to pay a taxes today even americaas don't pay taxes to America the Americans themselves don't pay enough taxes to America but they compare themselves to being the not so much not so much in those days you don't pay taxes they kill you today you don't pay taxes they send you a letter in the mail please pay taxes 5 years 10 years eventually ESP if you eventually if you don't answer for a long tough time maybe they'll send somebody to your house so anyway controlled the world the amount of money that he had is unbelievable but a person that loves money never has enough money the says person that loves money will never have enough enough money or if will never be satiated by the amount of money he has so now if you if you notice the behavior of a most of the time he's a pretty happy guy he has parties he celebrated for six months he invites everybody he doesn't exclude the Jews even though in his heart he's an anti-semite Nazi exterior wise he invites the Jews to the party even gives him kosher food kosher pizza like Rael gave you guys you're not eating he gave him a lot of kosher food even though he hates them so he seems like a pretty Jolly guy but then it's a couple of times in the entire M do you actually see who really is and why when we say his name for the most part we say even though in the end he ended up being a good guy he didn't kill us he still says worse than ham still why to the world when it's fit and suit his needs he was nice it's a politician paying taxes he likes you you're giving him Cav he likes you you're giving him money he likes you you vote for him he likes you but there's only a couple of times you see who he really is the says there are three things that you can measure a person by and who they really are meaning how does he behave after he has a few drinks he said once you have a few drinks the truth comes out well you're a liar the whole year round yeah you're a liar the whole year round all year round you're pretending to be somebody you're not as soon as you have a few drinks all the Jah comes out of your system all the SE comes out that you've been holding back all of a sudden everybody finds out you're anti-semite even though you're a Jew yourself all of a sudden everybody realizes that you don't believe in anything you hate this you hate that oh that's why you should in reality try not to get drunk ever except when there's a mitv to do it which is p because most people in reality can't hold their anyway they act like you know what so first you identify who the person is after he has a couple of drinks couple of drinks the train cup hey look at this guy watch out for him why he he's drunk why but he was nice in the office he uh once he has a couple of drinks a different person different person is pocket it's pocket we had a whole sh about this on Sunday and last week we talked about this a lot to be honest with you it seems like it's my tun more than it is yours dealing with stingy people it's something that's I've always disliked stingy people I remember that one of the reasons why I never had many friends is because I couldn't stand people couldn't stand them why every time you know you want to go out as a when you're young you want to go out in a secular world so there's you have to go wherever you go and you have to pay nobody ever had money so why' you come if you don't have any money how come you came why don't you stay home all of a sudden when it comes to paying the bill nobody ever has any money yeah but you ordered three bottles yeah but you ordered enough food to feed a civilization and you ate it by yourself what do you think they're just going to give it to you for free or maybe I'm going to go in the back was this is for you time and time again nobody ever had any money when it came for the bill and to me after a while I'm like you know what can't take it nobody has ever has any money you ever noticed that but when it comes to buying a brand new car they always have money comes to buying a brand new watch they always have money when it comes to buying their own thing at their own time they always have money for everyone else they never have any money never have any money nobody has any money for car they have 50,000 $100,000 $200,000 for a car but the car $18 $18 but if you tell them listen I'll put your name on the website oh okay for that I'll give 500 but so without the website you're not going to get 500 if you put my name on your head I'll put it I'll give you 5,000 put a little poster on your forehead every time they not so and so donate I'll give you 5,000 why they don't want to givea they just want to give give themselves more Fame so is pocket you get to know a person really well based on how he treats his pocket if his pocket is constantly being opened because he's generous it's Good Nature Good Nature to such an extent that the says if you have a choice and one guy is the other guy doesn't know anything learns a lot of T is cheap generous go with the generous person stay away from a that's cheap why if he's cheap and he's meaning he's learning the Tora like it's a history book he doesn't believe what he says why you know by default if you believe in a t it means you have to be generous why AEM is generous you are learning to to emulate AEM if you're not generous you're not emulating hasm you're reading the tah like it's a history book if you're stingy you don't believe in a Tor you don't believe in hm it's big deal even if it's stay away from him if he's doesn't know anything go hang out with him why if he's generous that means he has good mid do if he has good mid do you could teach him T you can make him better with adding T to him but if he already has t and bad even a dead animal in the middle of the street is even better than him why he has to and he still didn't improve this guy is a lost cause if he asked why he still didn't improve Lost Cause Lost Cause T doesn't say a lot of lost causes doesn't say there's a lot of lost causes someone that has t with bad because he's stingy as one of the bad mid makes 50,000 but his biggest donation of the is $50 $100 how come how come forget about b or anything like that I'm talking in general how come how come you're so stingy how come your wife is still wearing the same clothes from 1985 why don't you give her some new clothes she's your wife yeah but she didn't work for it what do you mean she didn't work for it she stood she she would stood being married to you for 20 years that's already enough work that's already worse than gay on being married to you being a stingy husband a woman married to a stingy husband that's worse than gay why you why don't you give your wife some new clothes forget about why don't you be generous with people around you if you if you're not generous with the people around you you think that everything is yours everything is me me me you have a serious problem once a person is stingy problem problem person is generous it's a good start doesn't mean by default that they're that they're good because sometimes people are generous with other people's money you ever noticed that people are always generous with other people's money I remember I used to have employees and tell them listen uh you guys should get whatever you need office supplies and so on whatever you need just get it all the time anytime I would say such a thing all of a sudden everybody raised their hand yeah I need this I need this I need this I need this I need all of you need all this stuff all this time why don't you say something oh we didn't know okay all of a sudden I after place I wanted to make a $50 order from Staples $1,500 by the end of the day everybody needs five staplers uh this that what you you need a whole school everybody needs something okay I said that once twice three times then we moved offices moved offices you start going through your furniture you take stuff out every single drawer file cabinet I saw is a bunch of brand new supplies it's like they were storing it cuz I was paying for it they were like storing the stuff so you come to my house to this day I have stuff for my old office it's brand new why they want to buy cuz I'm paying they're generous with my pocket or if let's say for example you used to buy lunch for people all the time whatever you work do buy lunch all of a sudden everybody wants a steak for them for themselves they get little uh Chinese food $5 I pay everybody wants a steak 253 $40 $50 whatever is more expensive that's what we want why it's based on price it's better if it's more expensive it's better everybody wants to be and spending when it's my money that's how it was people are always generous with other people's money that's not generous that's not generous it's a it's a wicked person taking advantage of somebody so thank you so last thing is what's anger how does he act at the moment of anger now everybody gets angry everyone some people have fire in their veins like me where unless you work on yourself day and night you're going to spend 24 hours a day being angry not an hour a day or hour a week 24 hours a day you're going to be angry if you don't work on yourself I remember my life before chuva all I knew was anger I'm telling you I'm dead serious this was the biggest part of me doing chuva biggest benefit why I wake up in the morning already cursing nothing happened I'm late wait to what you're the boss who what somebody's going to dock you what you're late to what already I was already angry I come into the office I'm angry why they're not working hard enough what do you mean they were here since 8 o' in the morning was not good they're not hard enough no no I was here always something always something it's like it's like a constant anger in you food comes it's not hot enough it's not cold enough it's not this enough the guy invest a million dollars ah he should have done a million and a half this guy's a always not enough always not enough you're always angry at something and that by the way RAB is worse than cancer being angry is like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die you being angry is like you drank the poison but you expect him to die that's anger only you're going to lose from anger only you you're angry you'll lose automatically you don't work on your anger aside from the fact the says that it's the equivalent of aside from that you'll have a miserable life you'll have such a miserable life that you'll forget to ever be happy and even the happiness that you're going to have is going to be so minute and so insignificant that every five minutes it's going to get ruined yeah bar mitzvah for your son somebody didn't give the donation that's big enough the whole event goes to garbage yeah but the event was good the kid did a bar mitzvah you spend I don't know $50,000 on his bar mitzvah we had the money to pay for it everything is good the kids's happy the wife's happy the kids are's Happy yeah but Steve only gave $100 bu is disgusting okay so he didn't give a lot big deal disgusting the whole thing I met now have it huh he like the food yeah he's blaming he he's blaming the food he's blaming the guy every why guy's angry guys angry will never be happy it's impossible to be happy unless you work on your anger and working on your anger is a life life task it's not just like oh one day you do CH you lay some you keep Shabbat you stop being angry you have to work on it day and night day and night to control yourself it's very difficult very very difficult usually usually the depression leads to anger but the point is is that when a person gets angry he's no longer the same person all day he could be jolly all day he could be funny all day he's happy but as soon as he gets angry the says and also the raan quotes it Ino all types of gay take control over him what does it mean all types of gay Nome he creates all these demons from the sins that he has and those demons now take control over all of his actions he used to be generous now he's cheap he used to be polite now he's impolite he used to be attentive now he's playing with his phone and a Sher he used to be a uh this now he's the opposite everything the opposite everything the opposite please stop playing with your phones so when someone is angry they can't pay attention to reality they can't pay attention to reality but even that can be under control meaning a normal person gets angry the mom gets angry at the kid because the kid broke something a father gets angry at the mom because she said something a mom gets uh angry at the dad because he said something whatever people get angry what is the trying to tell us it says how angry do you really get do you let yourself get out of control where all of a sudden you're like shim you would destroy the whole uh the whole uh place or it's like okay you get angry but you contain yourself and relax okay wow you meditate a little bit you breathe a little bit okay leave me here I'm angry I don't want to talk I don't want to see I don't want to breathe if I could stop breathing seeing and talking I do it right now please leave me alone five minutes leave me alone 10 minutes leave me alone why I'm angry at you I don't want to see you I don't want to talk to you I want nothing you made me angry you go to your room you go to the bathroom you go to the whatever room you go smash your head against the wall a few time whatever you have to do to stop being angry under control why because you know if you don't and he says another word or she says another word break the whole house all of a sudden the the Palestinians already uh saying okay I'm sorry we they're scared of you they're scared of you don't sendim over there cuz so how angry do you get so now it's big deal look like a jolly nice guy invites everybody to the par parties but we saw who he really was when when someone touched his cavod when someone touched his cavod all call G started taking control we saw who he really was when vashi his wife said I'm not coming by the way the mid says why she didn't want to come because hm gave her tarat gave a disease something equivalent to leprosy not really leprosy but equivalent to leprosy put marks all over our body why did he give us such a big punishment because she used to take the Jewish women and make them work naked on Shabbat she was such a wicked that she took the Jewish women knowing that they're number one mitvah is Modesty knowing that Shabbat is the number one day of the year what she do make them work on Shabbat naked or is she going to kill them isot hasm says oh you want my my my my daughters to go do that no problem she used to be a very beautiful woman now you're gonna look like a demon she had a tail she had a horn in her head all of a sudden all of our entire body became like white like snow so now didn't know this didn't know this whole thing happened say oh no no let me show you how beautiful my wife is bring her out here bring her naked now her used to be she didn't care about modesty she would go around naked she's disgusting human being this woman but now he said no I'm not coming why she not coming because she knows what she looks like she looks like a g with a horn she looks like a demon she look with a horn she looks like a unicorn with a human form whates she look like so she said I can't come said why you can't come last week you were walking around naked the whole neighborhood week before that you uh had a party for naked people well all a sudden you want to come oh you're violating my Cav death penalty but didn't you want to think for a second say it's your wife maybe it's not it's the I don't know it's a time of the month maybe she doesn't feel good maybe I don't know she's busy look at your wife after all don't you think that she control yourself a little bit it's your wife it's not that some uh some woman you found in the street it's your wife she's also a princess the daughter of NE she comes from a uh from a uh from a house House of Kings it's not just some woman give us some respect no no she violated my C death penalty meaning the whole marriage the whole lovey lovey all all nonsense all fake why touch this touch this kavod it's worth nothing second time the second time I got the this year as we see it the end of the meila at the end of the meila we see that Estel plans the party in order to trap ham by saying listen there's a person inside your kingdom that's trying to kill my people and then trying to kill me because now she's K's wife so she has the the meal the the you know the whole plan and then the second day so now on the second day she tells a yes there's somebody that's trying to kill my people and trying to kill me your wife who who is Who Dares kill my wife kill everybody else don't kill my wife who's GNA kill my wife who has who has the guts to kill my wife who ham he's right next to he's sitting right next to you him now listen ham just wrote a check or actually paid him cash 38 44 million a few days ago gave him a check for gave him a cash $384 million so he doesn't want to like necessarily kill him right away why we're doing business together we're doing business together but the same talk you're trying to kill my wife you didn't tell me that when you gave me the money you put me in a bad spot I like this girl so he's angry he's upset he doesn't know what to do what do you mean he's about to kill your wife yeah but there's money in involved it's money involved I got to go outside he goes outside and he sees his garden see his garden and says he comes back from the garden just as angry as he left what do you mean your Garden's beautiful you have trees from all over the world planted everything what's wrong the garden is supposed to make you feel good that's why people have Gardens all the rich people they have guards because something nice to see and it makes you feel good they forget to thank God but they like what God gave them so says that he came back as angry as he left why because hasem sent malim he sent angels that pretended to be ham sons and they were cutting down the trees that belonged to cutting down the trees in his garden hey hey what are you doing what are you cutting down my trees for you know how much this Garden cost me Haman told us Haman told us who cares Haman told you I'm the king it's my garden they continued cutting the trees then he came back inside he said go hang h on why didn't you decide to go hang a out in the first place when he said he's going to kill your wife why is it only after you found out that haman's kids are cutting your tree now you're so angry go kill Haman now money doesn't matter before you didn't want to kill him when he was going to kill your wife because you still had some business dealings now some trees that get cut off you could just replant the trees big deal no now you touch my stuff now you touch my pocket you touched my K you touched my keiss you touched my pocket death penalty now is death penalty why money was more important to him than his wife and everything else as soon as ham man touched his money death penalty so we see that his nature wasn't exactly good on the other hand there's not enough time in the world to describe all of his bad midot but we could see plainly from the story h is the richest man of the land so rich thear says he's the richest man that ever lived other than korak other than korak korak found one of the treasures of yadik which was a third of all the money that MIT had that Egypt had and the rest of the nation the rest of am is found another third meaning am is had one third and he had another third by himself said he had so much money that until this day when you say Rich you say rich like kak and no one was ever as rich as kak the only one that came close is Haman so when Hamman wanted to get things done he knew that money makes things happen money makes the smart and wise blind also so he came to says listen there's some people they're getting they're really unusual they're separate they're not this they're not that mean you just kill them in reality said who who Who's these people who are these people that's it's the Jews Jews but they pay taxes they pay taxes it's money I'll give you more money what do they pay you what they pay 5 million a year I'll give you 384 million I'll give you the money what they're going to pay you taxes for years to come CU yeah but their God killed all of their enemies before us look at look at look at everybody else he killed all of them I'm G to go the God's gonna kill me goes no look what happened you had seven years there was a prophecy that the prophet Isaiah made 200 years ago that the the bet mikdash we built after the first bet mdash was destroyed 70 years later another bet mdash will be built look we did the math look me and you did the math he didn't build it which means hasem left them hasem left them so you don't have to worry about their God anymore all we got to do is kill them on a day that they have no success they have no mazal what day seventh why that's the day M died they their leader died on Seventh B that's a day they don't have any luck they don't have any ma we'll kill them on that day without a hesitation signs the deal not realizing that M was also born in s but why did he want to kill all of them the story is that when he would pass by with all the money that he had with all the Cav that he had he comes to his wife and he tells and there's also guests in his house and he tells her listen I have everything I have my sons I have my properties I have my exchanges I have my jewelry I have this I have this I have this but it's all worth nothing because would now Bell to me what do you mean it's all worth nothing the trillion dollars you have in the bank is not worth anything the kids you have you have in the world the kiss the ground you walk on it's worth nothing the wife PR you worth nothing all the people that kiss your fingers and your fingernails and everything else worth everything is worth nothing yes why this is the mid of the Nash the Nash in in the ganed the original GED init the Nash the serpent came TOA and he said to her eat from the Apple eat from that eat from the Tree of knowledge eat from the Tree of knowledge noem said noem said don't touch it hasem said don't eat it and he said I have everything else look it's a whole garden garden had no end any fruit any vegetable anything you wanted it had all the good that's in this world is not even 1% of what she had right next to her available to her for free she didn't have to work for it the the says the the Angels used to cook for them every day cook for them you have everything good but the serpent says yes but if you don't eat from the Tree of knowledge it's all worthless why it's one thing missing if there's one thing missing you don't have anything that's the mid that's an evil mid why looking at what you don't have instead of appreciating all you have all you can see is what you don't have this is an example they give in schools and I've seen some videos about that people do it it looks very smart and it is smart a teacher shows his class A blank piece of paper with a DOT on it he says what do you see and everybody says oh you see uh the white or the the the black dot there's a huge piece of paper and they show him there's a black dot in the middle of the paper he shows one student after another black dot black dot black dot black dot he goes what nobody sees the rest of the white that I have nobody sees the rest of the white paper that's our nature our nature is to see the little thing little tiny not the whole thing that we have instead of seeing all the good that gives us he give you eyes he give you ears he give you lips he give you taste he give you tastes buds he gave you the hearing he gave you a wife he gave you a husband he gave you kids he gave you a job even though the jobs annoying and even though the boss is annoying and the customers are annoying you have one and even though the kids are annoying and they don't want to go to sleep you have kids and even the wife and the husband maybe you want to sell them on eBay you have a husband and a wife you know how many people want to pay a fortune just to find a husband or a wife you know how many people are willing to pay a fortune just to have one eye you know how many people are willing to pay a fortune just have one liver or a wife or a husband or a kid or anything all of what you have no I don't see why had a tough day today what' you have a tough day yeah I lost a customer okay but you Al you still have another 100 customers no yeah but this was a big customer yeah but you have a hundred more no okay I have them already I have the 100 customers oh so that's not good yeah but it couldn't got another one so the whole life is ruined because you lost one customer you forget about the hund that hm gave you all of life is ruined because you don't have this specific deal or this specific amount of money or this specific house or this specific meal didn't taste so good so the rest of Shabbat is no good the wife toiled and broke her head and this and that made a whole giant Meal made you three four 17 meals for Shabbat one of the salads doesn't taste good one of the Sal ah you don't know how to cook you don't know how to cook next week I'm doing catering next week I'm doing catering there husband's like this you think I'm joking his husband like none of you if not your wife should send a private session but the private session for people like that is just hitting no talking wake you up wake you up for not being appreciative people only see what's missing not what they have that's ham that is ham instead of seeing all the good that he has the trillions and the millions and everything else all he sees isn't about to me so worthless who has that mid the the Nash from G from the from the garden from the original sin you don't eat from a tree of knowledge everything else that God gave you is worthless okay so you don't have it so you are so upset they going to kill the guy all right you're a little extreme there uh ham fine you want to kill the guy but why you want to kill everybody what do the rest of am do okay modai doesn't respect you fine okay he doesn't like you fine why you want to kill everybody what do they do to you is anger once somebody's angry logic escapes them logic escapes them he's not thinking straight he's not thinking proper he's not thinking right or left he's just thinking death but they didn't do anything to you like all of these anti-semites that you have in America and around the world for the most part most of them never even met a Jew forget about they've never been hurt by a Jew forget about they've been offended or they've never met a Jew there's actually a whole country somewhere in the uh in in Europe if youget the if youget the name is a whole it's a small country but it has I mean small country has a few million people they have a holiday they have a holiday where they celebrate the killing of Jews there's actually real there's a real I forget the name of the I try to I try to forget such things there's actually a whole country they have a whole holiday where they make like statues of what they think a Jew looks like big nose big ears they look like Monsters and they hit them and this and burn it and so on and so forth now I remember I saw some type of movie about it many many years ago it was a comedy but it was was reality and it's like a whole thing like a annual holiday of hating Jews and killing them and so on and so forth so the guy that came there he said to them how many Jews have you met in your life none of them have ever met a single Jew none of them ever met a single Jew hate for no reason hat for no reason ham hated for no reason okay you don't like him for whatever thing you have you beef between you and him fine you're wrong about that too but why do you want to kill everybody for what do they do to you so somebody's angry can't control it Nothing is Stopping them from becoming Hitler Nothing is Stopping them from become Hitler and we see that the entire thing that drove ham is someone dishonoring him is someone not giving him respect all of it was based on materialistic egotistical mindset the epitome of evil on the other hand we have more as we said already was visibly Jewish a Jewish man this is actually the first time first time the word Yi appears in the tan first time who what does is mean someone that has what do make somebody a says someone that's someone that goes against so ham made himself into AAR a statue on his neck so every time somebody bow to him he bowed to the Statue thinking he's bowing to the Statue but in reality a man would take it as if he's bowing to me I'm I'm a God that's what he's saying bowing to me so M refused to bow to him the question is this m okay everybody knows you don't like Haman in reality you guys made a deal many years before the mid says then in reality ham sold himself as a slave to M many years before the mid says many years before both of them were Generals in the Army wasid had good mid and also taught his soldiers good midot so when food came he knew that whatever food we got from the home base who knows when the next delivery is going to come so eat a little bit a day a little bit every day don't eat like you've never eaten before eat like my students eat pizza they don't eat at all they just look at it the whole time eat like that eat like that don't eat eat but don't eat eat with your eyes don't eat like in reality says because we don't know what we're going to get it again we don't know h no midot no good traits so what happens everybody ate like they never ate before in their life know what happens they finished all the food finish all the food you got a bunch of hungry Soldiers with blood on their hands they want more food who are they going to go to the general Nan give us some food he says I don't have any food we don't have food I'm going to eat you you don't bring us food we have to eat something we'll eat you ham runs to M he goes you got to help me out I need food I need food go you have a problem you should have taught your soldiers midot not to eat everything okay okay thank you very much for teaching me some it's too late I'm in deep trouble here and they're either going to eat me or uh I don't know no I need some help he says listen I'll make a deal with you but I'm saving your life so you have to pay me back go whatever I have a lot of money I'll give you money no no no no no I don't want money I want you what mean you you're going to be my slave for long forever so H did did some math Oh either I'm gonna be a slave forever or they're going to kill me what's a better deal be a slave so he signed on a shoe with blood sign on a shoe a deal with I am your slave forever so every time that years later every time that Haman who now became Rich who now became a leader who now became second in command everybody would bow to him he'd expect everybody to bow to him instead of M bowing to him he'd pick up his shoe and show him the agreement that he has he hey what bow you you're my slave you bow to me that's what got him angry because he knew it's true everybody loves the truth until it obligates them always remember that people love the truth until it obligates them many people love my sh until I say something that's against them why they have to fix themselves I tell you good do do do everything is good yeah against way against this against this then I tell the guy don't be cheap all of a sudden no I'm a you you everything you like for two years what happened no no no you too much what too much two years is not too much no you said something about uh me everybody likes the truth until it obligates them and this is cancer m is not supposed to be about other people m is supposed to be about you about me everything that I'm teaching I'm learning meaning I'm really talking to myself the whole time you guys just happen to be here this is helping my CH you want to help you you don't want to help it doesn't make a difference at least I'm going to do cha why I want to go to ganed I live Gom I know what it looks like but people they like it when you talk about everybody else except themselves meaning they want to be entertained they come to sh to be entertained I think it's like a singer I think I'm a uh one of these uh singers I'm got Elbas I'm I'm going to do some dance for you guys on stage no song No dances and I'm not looking for fans somebody sent me an email today I haven't responded yet but this is what the response is going to look like sent me an email and he said oh I was watching your shim everything was great until I saw what you said about the Holocaust and how God did the whole thing I want no part of such a God no more your own R for me that's what she said show you the email so I I'm very busy I just had time to read the email not to respond to it when eventually when I get to respond to it whenever that's going to happen the response is going to be I'm not looking for fans but but you should know that everything I say is in the Torah and provide sources not that it's going to change anything but maybe just maybe if there's ever a small chance is ever a small chance of such a person realizing the truth we'll try we'll try to show them the truth but at no point will there ever be going to be an apology oh I'm sorry it offended you there never you will never ever see that in any of the emails why cuz I'm not sorry there's nothing to be sorry about it's the the Torah if you're offended by by it I'm offended by you if you're offended by what God said I'm offended by you you are offensive I'm offended by your existence you're against my father if you're against my father I'm offended that you even exist not looking for fans looking for truth you want to hear the truth sometimes the truth hurts why it obligates you it obligates you it obligates me and you should know that every single time I see something new in the usually I get tested with it either right before or right after why says okay you said let's see knew you do it I say I talk about stingy people immediately have a test with money immediately I have a money issue immediately It's A Clockwork but we still say it every week why it's the truth it's either 100% truth or 100% a lie 99% truth is 100% [Applause] lie knew this did not care about what everyone else thought he just cared about the truth so he did not pretend to be a go he did not pretend to be like anyone else he wanted everyone to know I am a Yodi I am a Jew I have nothing to do with anyone else and I want you to know it not just by the words that I say but by also the way I look I'm not going to come to your parties I'm not going to wear your clothes I'm not going to hang out I'm not going to have chitchat with you I'm not going to have shes bets tournaments I am not like you why I'm a Jew hasem put me in the world to be a Jew if he put me as a I'd be a but since he put me as a Jew I must be a Jew a Jew is different a Jew is chosen chosen to what serve hem 24 hours a day now okay be a Jew but why don't you be like some of those political Jews that stay out of trouble why do you have to stay at the gate where Ham leaves every day and dff not bow don't be at the gate go somewhere else where ahad's not going to be there why you da going to go to the Nazi camp you know haman's leaving there every day he's going to see you every day he's going to see you not bowing to him every day go somewhere else okay we know you're a Jew you learn T you do MIT good but why do you have to do it in this face go somewhere else why it's you're putting your life in danger no put your life in not let to put your life in danger not so how could the head of the put his life in danger every single day the answer is also in when they ask how come we do not read on WE throughout we holidays why don't we read onim and the answers surprisingly but not surprising if you know what's going on what's the answer the answer is they say we don't read is a prayer of Celebration we have nothing to celebrate because we're still Servants of a what do you mean we're still Servants of she died no no no physically died but figuratively speaking with the same people Nothing changed if invited you to a party would you come come on no Donald Trump invites you to a party to the White House would you go it's Donald Trump the president of United States would you go everyone say the fact that you're even thinking that's a remote possibility shows the is right we are still the same people Nothing changed no one has done CH yet 2,500 years has passed nothing changed everybody's like Donald Trump though no he's nice no don't Dr find me the White House no it's kav no he likes Jews go your food C of food no what it's honor to uh no honor no nothing you're a Jew you have no place there you you have time go learn T go do go discipline your kids make sure they're go make your wife happy happy you have no time for the White House you have no time to go play golf on Sundays you have time to be a Jew and a Jew only but how many of us are Jews how many of us like a UD how many okay so you got a couple of million that are religious but how many are like if you invited them to the BET mik to a to the White House how many of they say no how many gonna say no how many sir everybody's GNA come up with new excuses no it's Kos no it's peace for the people it's good for the people negotiations you could do it on the phone too you could do it on the phone also so you don't need to go there you don't need to go to a party all excuses why you want to be in a picture oh look I'm next to Donald me and Donnie my boy you forgot who you are the minute you left but you have a picture on your wall for the rest of your life that you took a picture with the president me and the Trump me and the president people have I went to all these people's offices throughout my life lawyers doctors so on and so forth everybody has pictures of famous people on their wall like the famous people don't have a picture of you on their wall though the famous people do not have a picture of you on the wall but you have a picture of they all like it's a uhu look I was with the president in 1985 I was with the uh this one and this one who are you what do you want where are you where is your head where is your head this is the reason why we do not we do not read we're still the same people we still haven't done chuva so now we'll finalize with this thear says that you must drink until you get so drunk that you mix up the blessings of and to the opposite instead of bless instead of bless you blessed why because the only time during the year you made that mistake the rest of the year you knew Yad blessed is he why I'm trying to emulate him I'm trying to be like if you did it the whole year round then you're allowed to get drunk and Mitzvah such a big Mitzvah it's like you fasted for entire week but how many of us are doing that how many of us are really living the life of when you really think about it kind of sounds like many of us are more similar to ham why the minute the guy didn't give you cavod what' you do you say oh it's okay it's okay no problem or do you want to take his head off and put it on a picture right next to Donald Trump he made you upset why he didn't give you cavod he didn't make you Kazan In in AET he didn't make you Kazan or he didn't give you the Aliah he didn't give you Al so you wanted to put him on the wall next to the mod over there why you didn't give you cab all the minute you got angry your wife said something your husband said something all of a sudden you are ham why you don't want to just kill her you want to kill our entire family and everyone that knows her and everyone that's friends with her why made you angry all of a sudden you want to break this break that what Happ just one thing happened how many of us are visibly Jewish how many of us look like Jews where if we see ah look at the jew coming no no kades go come on come on N how many how many of us look like Jews how many of us look like Jews how many the Jews want to look like go the most religious Among Us that's the issue behind the whole wig thing the whole wig thing is why we want to look at green not because we look like Jews no place in the entire tanak do you see a single a single woman mention oh she had a wig onu had a wig three feet long no you're never going to see that Rael went to the wig maker and got a longer wig a newer one never going to see that the whole thing we want to have wigs why we don't want want to tell when I go to the store and they know when I wear my when I wear my my scarf on my head on my hat they treat me differently perfect that means you they know you're Jewish yeah but I don't like it oh so you don't like being a Jew you don't like being a Jew you're not proud of being Jewish why you want to look like a guy why do you wear that clothes why do you want everybody to why why do you wear such imodish clothes why is your uh sh shirt so tight why is your skirt so short when you you start wearing sleeveless oh when Obama's wife came into the house everybody became everybody all of a sudden started wearing tank tops Michelle Obama started a new style why no sleeves oh so you want to be like the Goya you want to be like Michelle Obama how come you don't want to be likeu how come you don't want to be like ra how come you want to be like how come how come you want to how come you want to look like everyone else that's not Jewish oh you don't want to be a Jew no but I keep Shabbat okay good for you keep Shabbat they stop G Shabbat for you this is the secret the secret is we have more mid like ham and it's time to change it's time to do chuva it's time for us to be proud that we're Jews because if you're a Jew that means that you're chosen you're chosen by the only one that matters he chose you to be one a very very few people that he says that's my first born that's my first born he doesn't say that on everyone else in the book of Isaiah chapter 41 verse 8 but you oh Israel my servant yov you have who have chosen offspring of Abraham whom loved me when all the go say oh who is the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 look it's JC Penney no it's not JC Penney it's and you see it right over here says oh Israel You're my servant you you are my servant you are my servant you oh Israel why you're a descendant of Abraham abah that loved me how many of us can be defined as lovers of God if you love someone you're proud of it you show off you have no problem telling people about it why I love my wife how much more than life itself why it's the greatest woman in history I'm talking about my wife why I'm proud of it I love hem too why it's the greatest gave me everything why he's AEM proud of it no problem no not shy about it not second guessing oh should I say in front of people I love being a Jew why I'm chosen it's the greatest thing in the world who has the problem the one who denies it the one who still wants to look like a the one who still wants to hide their love for hem the they're religious in their heart just make sure no one knows though make sure no one knows I'm religious though no no no no wear the keeper no no no I can't let my customers are going to leave me if I wear a keeper my customers are going to leave me if I wear keepa never in the history of man has any real customer left someone that wears a keep as a matter of fact if you askim who would you prefer to do business with the guy that is wearing a keepa versus the guy that's not wearing a keepa 100% of the time not 99% 100% of the time they'll tell you the guy with the keeper why guy with the keeper knows there a God above he's scared of something if he's scared of something he's more likely to be honest this is why one of the head journalists in Israel who for many years reported the interesting articles and interviews of terrorists he would speak their language in Arabic and so on he would go into their places put his life on the line one time he tells he did chuva at the end himself did chuva they ask him how come you did chuva he says the terrorist help me do chuva huh a terrorist help you do ch goes yeah he goes one time I was interviewing a terrorist a guy that's like a head of a terrorist organization Kamas or this one or that one whatever it was and I'm interviewing him in the middle of the interview looks at me goes you know I want to kill you right somebody tells you he wants to kill you when he has a gun in his hand it's kind of scary but only reason I'm not going to kill you is because I aged not to kill you I'll G you to let you interview me so he interviewed him and ran away after he just put his life on the line time passed he did chuva and he interviewed the same terrorist again so this time when he showed up he showed up with a keeper and the same terrorist says to him he goes you know now I'm obligated to protect you H protect me you wanted to kill me last time go yeah last time you were enemy of God now you're the one he chose he got from a terrorist do you need from a terrorist to be visibly Jewish or you still get hiding still hiding the keeper still hiding the he's still hiding Shabbat he's still hiding the mitv you still don't want to tell people what you do on weekends you still want to go play basketball you have to ask yourself why because you have a Mitzvah coming up in 24 hours you have a Mitzvah to for the first time confuse and H make it the last time for the rest of the year any questions so saying before you're saying to look closer to aites based on our yes based on our character traits we have more character traits similar to ham than we have to because if you look at M his midot as we went over for the first couple of hours I think you missed a part of it we looked at all the midot that M has we looked at the midot that ham has and we have midot that are closer to him than to the other next question say most religious most of the world there almost eight billion people in the world most of them which includes Us in this room includes all religious Jews includes everyone most not everyone most if you haven't done complete chuva definitely you definitely you if you've done chuva maybe you in some regards you have to ask yourself if somebody disrespected you had you act did you act like M or did you act like ham if someone asked you for a favor did you act like M did you act like H and so on and so forth we're not going to go over the same shoe again but the point is is that you have to look at the midot of ham you have to look at the of would most people not want to K she picked one thing that most people have a common sense not to do but not necessarily everybody in fact there was somebody that forgot that just 24 hours ago there was a father in Israel that got angry at his wife so then he decided to kill her and then kill his three-year-old uh child and then kill himself by putting himself on a uh on a train tracks and then a few months ago there was a different father that uh asked the police to investigate the murder of his only daughter he had only one daughter and somebody murdered her and he asked the police to investigate what do they find out from the investigation the father murdered the child why the mom disrespected him the mom disrespected him he didn't like that she disrespected him so he knew she loved the daughter so he killed her even though it's his daughter too so murder may be far away from us right now right this second because we're not angry when you're angry maybe it's still far away from you maybe it's not but that's not the only mid we talked there's many other things but the issues of horrible Behavior are happening every single day the issues of ignoring the truth is happening every single day you tell people to their face certain things are not allowed and they'll come up with excuses knowing that it's an excuse and they'll still say yeah but this but that but this but that but they'll make up excuses to justify their lie this is exactly what Haman was doing Haman Justified his misbehavior his disgusting Behavior by lies why he said listen you have all this money ham you have more money than everybody else you have Cav you're second in command uh everything is great what's the problem what do you care about this modai man said no but if Modi doesn't bow to me then eventually somebody else will listen to him too and eventually somebody else and eventually somebody else and eventually nobody's going to bow to me he justified it and rationalized in his head rationalized in his head how it's right to kill M because he's not bowing to me this is M this is also us sometimes if you don't mind give me my bag the black one yeah this is us this is next question it's my life you tell me my life yeah for somebody that deals with backlash welcome to the club uh listen it's not easy it's not easy to try to be M it's not easy to try to be mhe it's not easy to try to be P it's not easy to try to be AI it's not easy to be abah ainu it's very easy to Beav it's very easy to be ham it's very easy to be it's very easy to be but to be M very hard why you're the Enemy of the State who's the state your own State your own people if you look at all of the prophets in the Torah many of them had a many of them had a unusual death they were murdered by their own people as you remember I told you a story about Zacharia his own people murdered him when NE zardan the chief in command foret rash came to yam and he saw the blood on the floor and he asked the Jews what is this he said oh it's blood from one of the sacrifices I've never seen blood boil before so make another sacrifice I want to see it they made another sacrifice and the blood was swallowed by the ground and then boil s maybe this one didn't work do it again they did it again sacrifice another sheep nothing said okay so obviously you're lying to me so if you don't tell me the truth I'll kill all of you what's this Blood boiling on the floor said what can we tell you this is the blood of our Prophet Zaria we killed him why would you kill your own prophet he rebuked us he told us to do chuva we didn't want to do it he told us to keep Shabbat he told us to stop wasting seed he told us to take off the wig he told us to be modest he told us to eat kosher he told us to learn M he told us everything that hasm told him to tell us we didn't want to do it so we killed him we figured ah at least we don't have to hear it anymore nean said ah I will avenge him and he killed all of them and then he went back to the blood and he saw that the blood of of Zaria is still boiling he went and killed more people people came back to the blood so it's still boiling he screamed to sh he said Zacharia Zakaria I've killed the best of them do you want me to kill the rest and the blood calmed down at that momentan did a a needless to say he did an argument on his own and he said if all the people I just killed God of Israel gave me the power to kill them because they killed one they killed one sadik and Hashem gave me the power to kill all of them and called blood for killing one of them what will he do to me if I don't do chuva and that very moment it was a moment of truth Chief in command the next guy in line after the king zillions of dollars no Ender the cavod conquered the world gave it all up for what to go be a slave he took off his symbols of uh being a general put on a sack sent a suicide note back home so they don't look for him converted to Judaism and joined this the nation that became slaves joined the nation that was slaves in his own country he converted to Judaism what was his what was his reward his sons got to the level ofes they got to the level ofes why in the Moment of Truth he was able to do Chua it's very difficult it's very easy to do Chua when you're broke it's very easy to do chuv when you have nothing going for you it's very easy to do chuva when you're sick you're lonely hard to do CH when you're General hard to do CH when you was a billionaire everyone kissed his feet what did he do he gave it all up for what I found the truth that's why a name so right now each one of us has our own tests but as a nation we have a bigger test coming the way it looks in the world things don't look so good if you still think they do look good then you're just blind anti-Semitism is increasing bigger than ever assimilation is increasing just as rapidly those same things happened in the past most notably right before the Holocaust now I thought about it maybe doing Aliah maybe not doing Aliyah it's still in consideration but nothing's going to change whether you live in Israel you don't live in Israel is not going to help what's going to help is if you do chuva if you do chuva it doesn't matter if you're inside inside a concentration camp Hashem will save you if you don't do chuva you be on top of the cotel and hasem won't save you you have to decide where you want to be you want to beai you want to be Haman it's easy to be Haman everything is based on material you act like eight billion people you look like them you dance like them you sing like them you do business like them do whatever you want live for this world it's easy you have a desire fulfill it you see a woman you want her take her you see a man want them take them you see food want it eat it based on desire but that does not separate you from the animals only difference is the animals are much more valuable why that's their job their job is to see something and eat it you are not supposed to be that you are not supposed to just see something and eat it you to find out is it kosher is it not Kosher did I eat something that forbids me from eating this if I eat meat I have to wait six hours before I drink milk or eat any dairy products if I just ate fish I have to clean out change the plate and eat meat on a different plate I can't eat fish and meat on a same plate even though I'm not eating them together still can't be done on the same plate you have to think about these things which seem like it's a big deal for people that don't do it in reality if you once you start doing it to become second nature why I'm always thinking about hem being next to me always what's Tam always all the time all the time not sometimes not may be all the time a woman that believes that hasem is next to her all the time will never ever dare do somethingest never she will never leave the house without a never she would never eat non koser she would never curse she would never do anything that puts something in the way of a husband learning to her never she never tell him no honey why don't you stay with me and you know I'm sick and I'm this and unless she's dying and she wants to wants to see a husband before she goes to the next World and even then is a sa why a woman knows that her husband's sole purpose in the world is to learn t a woman knows that all of our comes from a few basic one her husband learning to to her modesty if she goes outside and she looks like the go either because she shows her hair or because she wears a wig and no one can tell it's a wig what separates her from everybody else so is a real story I got from a somebody just the other day woman told me that for years she was went back and forth she would wear sometimes she would wear wig sometimes she would wear but she always knew inside her the wig is not Kosher had nothing to do with a nothing to do with a she knew it's not koser she had a few of them and she knew it's not modest she knew that the whole issue of covering your hair is two MIT one is Modesty the second one is to cover your hair so as far as covering your hair even even if you cover your head with a garbage pil you covered your head but that's not the Mitzvah why it's a walking if every Jew walked around with a garbage p on his head it wouldn't look good we look it's against theem so obviously there a there a nice way to cover your hair you cover your hair with a a hat or something like that but the second thing is is it has to be modest meaning by definition it cannot attract the attention of others by definition that's what modesty means now it doesn't mean ugly it just means it doesn't attract attention meaning you walk around and another woman walks around she has her hair showing you don't you have a hat going some may look at both of you but the vast majority of people will only look at her why that's the way guys were built so a woman that covers her hair knows this but this woman was going back and forth like many women do today sometimes they go to the extent where at home they wear outside they wear a wig which is the opposite of what you're supposed to do or they'll wear wig all they'll wear a all the time except when they go to a wedding or bar mitzvah or some type of event so God is in their life all the time except when other people see except when everyone comes God's not there but every other time God's there this is actually worse in my opinion in my opinion this is worse why you're saying you're doing aah except when it really matters so this woman knew this and she knew I have to go back after this after that but it's hard tell me it's hard it's hard it's hard to get rid of the wig why you look so much better you get so much attention it even looks better than your real hair it always it's it's always done it's always I mean people treat you differently you fit in okay eight billion people fit in a Jew is not supposed to fit in if you fit in there's a problem if you're like everyone else there is a problem so she decided that it's time to to get rid of the wig and after a lot of crying and a lot of prayers and a lot of videos she got rid of the wig and she says I couldn't believe how much less attention I got even when I would go to the simple store even when I go to the store to buy milk even when I uh went to work even when I so much less attention and she goes it made me feel good why why I knew God was watching when I was getting all the attention because I looked like everyone else with the wig and everything else I got a lot of attention everybody was extra nice to me everyone was this everyone was that and that's how you know deep inside it's not koser it's not modest that's how you know that's how you know how people that the biggest rabbis in the world said things like the babaali who says anyone that thinks that they're able to cheat a by wearing a wig and it's as if they're pretending as if they're wearing a uh they're covering their hair it's really like the it's a bigger sin why you think you can fool God the fact that you could fool people is one thing but to call yourself religious by pretending that you're able to fool God it's bigger more even more ridiculous but this is not where he stopped I mean he said such harsh things like any woman that wears a wig regardless long short a that wig will be used as something to burn her with and G why you think the babali was a uh just said things without thinking he said things because of anger he said because you just wanted to scare people no this is the truth this is the truth what can I tell you asked the question why does every woman want to look like the only woman in the entire that or hair is mentioned who the no one ever talks about the hair of sah no one ever talks about the hair of RA Le no one ever talks about any of the hair of all the other only one woman in the entire T mention her hair who the Wayward woman that's suspected of cheating on her husband that's the only woman they mention her hair and why they mention her hair because they're showing her hair to embarrass her because they're trying to convince her and pressure her into admitting that she cheated on a husband why does everybody want to look like the and the list goes on and on we've gone over this many many times in the end everybody knows the truth so now this woman she said that the videos the lectures we've done helped a lot because she said even though she stopped St wearing the wig it was still very hard to deal with in the beginning but then when she heard that it's a she says that was the nail in the coffin that was it then I knew I made the right choice then at that point it was easy for me it was hard because of the modesty issue and so on and so forth once I knew it's said Shalom she said I'm trying to go to G in my house huh how could I allow such a thing even if it's 1% possibility who would have 1% poison inside your steak and still eat it who would think that you know there's a chance there a possibly poison in your food and still eat it to having is more than poison it's more than poison this is why the conclusively said time and time again it's not allowed and all those that say it's allowed said something completely different was allowed not something that we have today so now anyone out that says such things like I just said whether it's about Shabbat and what is a Shabbat desecrator is considered an idolator which is very uncomfortable to hear or the fact that his Judaism or her Judaism is on suspension or that a woman does not want to cover her hair does not want to do chuba with modesty she has a very serious problem with God this is not nice to hear this is not nice to say but the reality is it's truth so anyone that joins that club and starts telling people the truth of course appropriately and not with anger and not with disrespect and not start pointing fingers at people in the middle of the street calling them idol worship idol worship even if they are you still can't do that you cannot bring yourself to sin because of your rebuke rebuke but there's a way to rebuke there's a way to do it there's a time to do it don't do it in the front of a lot of people that's just you then it's a general speech but if there's a group of you there's 20 of you don't tell Hey listen you look like that's not that's not the way to do it there's a time and a place to do it usually it's better somebody else does it not you bring him to give him a CD send him a lecture and so on and so forth but if you want to do it yourself what should I say to you two things one welcome to the club two it's going to be a very hard life how do I know read the Torah every single Prophet had that life evenu had enemies evenu had enemies says one of the names one of there were several names from mosenu one one of the names that mosenu had was go what's go a fence what fence he kept all of am is in check don't go against theem we rebuked all of them that's one of his name so you see all of it it's difficult it's not easy it's not easy to be the rebuker in reality you're going to be alone alive and even your fans will eventually not be your fans so much why you finally said something that affects them it's very hard it's very hard I could tell you from personal experience many of the people that I helped do chuva in the past I'm not in touch with them why eventually they didn't want to hear it anymore not all of many people are still in touch but there's many that I remember from the last uh Community I lived in did CH they started keeping this keeping that but eventually they stopped coming why they stopped coming eventually got to a point where they didn't want to do CH anymore meaning they kept Shabbat they kept kosher they kept but as soon as they started talking about modesty no more so is talking about wigs no more so talking about stop being stingy no whatever it was for them whatever was for them that was their line okay I can't continue coming to the Shu because if I come to the Shu I keep hearing I have to do more Chua I don't want to do anymore I'm finished I'm enough I keep Shabbat I keep this I keep this I keep this that's enough they don't want to keep growing and unfortunately in Judaism there's no such thing as not keep growing it's either you keep growing or you go backwards and many of them unfortunately started going backwards they still keep Shabbat from from what I know but they're not growing rapidly like they used to they're not doing everything they used to they're not growing in a lot of ways but such is life it's very very difficult very very difficult I could tell you for sure one of the biggest gifts that hasem gave me was to make me naive when I first started this and not realize how difficult it was because if I knew how difficult it was I wouldn't do it I'm telling you outright if I knew how difficult it was to do kiru I wouldn't do it this I've worked on Wall Street for almost 20 years built a company made money t all the things that I went through sickness this that the other thing employees enemies fighting with the government all types of wonderful battles that I had in my life never had an easy life you could ask any of the people that know me from my past never had an easy life this is 100 times harder thousand times harder you guys think oh he comes he gives a lecture sounds like fun you have no idea what I have to go through just to survive the day but that's the life why I'm trying to be UD trying to make it hopefully I make it that's it any else so we ask ourselves the critical question next year this technically is the end of the year Nissan according to the Tor is the first month of the year is the last month of the year even though is what we celebrate as the beginning of the year according to the Torah Nissan is the beginning of the year which means ad is the last month of the year so next year P next year meaning next month Begins the year you have to finish off the year strong what should be a resolution I'll tell you what it is be Yi be like don't be like all of us will have the Merit the strength in the to be like a and [Music] [Applause] [Music] the a [Music]
