[Music] good to be here again Tor the breast center we have a uh one-of-a-kind event tonight it's going to be a uh two part all night Shure uh we're going to do our regular Shure which is usually a couple of hours two to three hours whatever it is we're going to try to finish around 11:30 uh for the first part of the sh because more people going to come here to do the tun of the night uh and then we're going to move to the other room uh and um study the rest of the night now the first part of the sh is going to be regular same thing you guys can say some things I could we go over the mishna and so on the second part of the sh is going to be um completely different it's going to be a completely different type of sh meaning it's the same M same T nothing really changes except that we're going to go over the number one M book ever written in history there is no musar book that will ever be better because this musar book was written by God so we're going to go over that and that is seph the book of uter onomy in English I have no idea how they got the word Deuteronomy from but anyway that's the way it's known today and to make sure that people know what we're talking about um but the uh the first part again it's a uh lot of a lot of very serious stuff uh things that um are going to make a difference of whether someone can live or die everyone always asks what's going to happen when msia comes the resurrection of the Dead how could it be that the sages in you know that are mentioned in the gar if they're mentioned by name then that means that they were at the level of Kusa that they were able to revive the dead meaning someone died if rebi RAB rabud saw him he died he says you know what he deserves to live he could say pray to one two three he's alive if he's mentioned by name that means he had that power his level of Kusa was that high if he did not have that level of Kusa his name is not mentioned inar the name of that person is not mentioned inar his Torah could be 100% right his Torah is perfect but they don't mention him by name they say such someone said or t of someone said this this and this but they don't mention mention him by name why because even though he wasad everything was great wasn't at the level of a t that could revive the dead he cannot be mentioned in thear by name now this is a wonderful thing we've gone over several times in previous sh mrai mentions it all the time other raban always mention it all the time it's an amazing thing the question is can you you you guys sitting right here everyone sitting at home can you revive the dead can you get to the level of a T I'm asking a serious question I'm not asking you guys just a comical question just to you know you answer no it's not a rhetorical question no can you revive the dead you can you revive the dead anyone I heard somebody made a comment yesterday in the shield that we had online he says he can move stuff I don't know if he's joking or he's serious but anyway we're go on a step step higher we're going higher than cabala here can you revive the Dead the answer is actually yes the answer is yes and by the end of the you're going to find out how now to do it is not easy but you can do it each and every single one of you sitting here each and every single person watching online every single person could actually do do it revive the dead I'm dead serious it's not a joke I'm not being like I'm not being comical being 100% serious you could M revive the dead whether you have the Merit to or not is a different story but you can so the first part of the sh first couple of hours is going to be finding out how can we revive some dead people starting with ourselves the second part of the sh is going to be all night where we're going to need extra to do something that to my knowledge hasn't been done uh yet uh where someone teaches to all night um without stopping from 9:00 all the way till 6 o'clock in the morning you do the math 9 hours on live feed now maybe somebody did it I just don't know but we're going to try to do it and hopefully maybe somebody did it I don't know I know that we're going to try to do it obviously it's all going to be AEM if we succeed and it's all going to be Hashem if we fail or our failure really we don't have the Merit Hashem decides whether we succeed or fail but we're going to need some special Miracles tonight to survive because listen studying on your own all night is not easy it's not easy studying with a few friends it's a little easier it's fun you talk you go outside you smoke a couple of cigarettes you eat you drink you go to the bathroom take a nap here and there but teaching nine hours straight I've never done before so I can't even tell you how hard it is so B we'll see we'll see we'll succeed so just like it's going to be hard for you have mercy it's going to be hard on me too so the least I ask you to do is stick around and make sure that you realize that this is for hem it's not for me it's not for any anyone else this is for hem and the reason why we do this is because tonight is oaba Raba is the seventh day of sukot where kazal says technically if anyone knew in the zorad it says that if anyone knew the significance of AA they will be more scared OFA than yip now most people even if they don't keep Shabbat even if they don't keep even if they don't keep anything they know yum serious business everyone knows yum Kip serious business religious not even know yum serious business for Jews but most people don't know thata technically is scarier and the reason why is because Judgment day was we went we prayed we said Our Father our King please save us have mercy on us if not as a father then as a king if not as a king then as a father whatever you want just do just have mercy on us we're not we're not but judge us like we are why we're going to try better this year we're going to try to do chuva so what do you need to do chuva I need more money God what do you need more money to do chuva I need I I need money I need money okay I need a new car okay why you need a new car for Chua I need new new car just just help me need a new car I need a new wife you already have one no no I need a new wife hasem I need this this wife is not it's not I need a new husband why you already have a husband yeah but this husband is uh he's not he's not good he's not good I need a better better husband a richer one I need a new this and I need a new that you askem for nonstop requests on the 10 days of CH we read a you ask him things that m if anyone actually understood what they're asking for from hem during the 10 days of Chua they should be embarrassed I'm not joking I'm not trying to insult anyone I'm included in this if anyone actually understood what you asked for Hashem to give you during the 10 days of chuva you should be embarrassed why because we're saying listen we're not sadik we're not we're we know we're not uh trying to uh lie but we want to be we want to be written in the same book as the and the the highest but if that's not that's not enough that's not enough we want we want good life what's good life good life is a life with no problems if that's not good not enough we want to be's same book that no is in we want to be in the same book as no we want to be in the same book as Noah want we want good livelihood sustenance want you to forgive all of our sins want to see the msia all these wonderful things and forgive everything that's what we ask from Hashem said hasem is our father so he knows that his kids are a little ridiculous sometimes but it doesn't matter we're his kids but Shalom our request doesn't get answered Hashem gave us the 10 days of chv and then Judgment Day repeated the appeal process is Yum Yum kipur is a time where we crying to Hashem why because this we know this is the really the last chance this is we already got judge guilty so we're trying to appeal we don't want to go to jail for eternity it's the appeal process so that's when we start crying in essence you're really supposed to be crying on your in today's world people are embarrassed to cry inet people are embarrassed to cry anywhere but really you're supposed to cry why because you're fighting for your life really that's that's what really what's happening but today instead of fighting for our life many people are fighting for their uh who has the biggest wallet who has the nicest car who has the nicest house so instead of saying forgive USU they're too focused on talking in bees about the deals they made the deals they want to make it's a lot of joking around in but today unfortunately sad but it's a reality so for this hasem gave us OAA is Hashem is telling you this is really your last chance you already had two chances and really you're out of chances but technically technically the Judgment hasn't been made yet the stamp is not stamped yet even though everyone says at the end of really really says hasn't been made yet this the signature on the Judgment has not been made yet when is it being made tonight it's being made on a sh it's being made on whether someone is going going to live or die whether someone is going to havea or not whether someone is going to have find a z or not all the things that you asked for is being decided on so the Z says that if you really understood how much is on the line over this next 24 hours you'd actually be more scared than you were in yum Kip because you don't have the same you had in Yip to help you so this is why we take the Torah and we learn it we take the Torah and we learn it all night because we try to emulate the angels we try to look like Angels Angels don't eat don't drink they don't go to the bathroom they don't hang out they don't socialize Angels just fulfill the will of hem so we're supposed to fulfill the will of hem by learning Torah all night so in case we're like at 49.5% our favor 50.5% against us that extra tah over the next 24 hours or really over the next nine hours 10 hours is going to move it to our favor that next 24 hours is going to help you get a judgment of and we'll have the Merit so this is the reason why we study all night it's not just because we're bored or we have nothing to do with our life it's really M because it's so I mentioned this in the previous year but it's still worth mentioning again the uh the BET R says if you didn't see your friend for a year you didn't see him for a year when you see him if you like him if you like your friend if he's your enemy see nothing but if he's your friend or at least you haven't found out he's your enemy yet if he's your friend you like him and it's the first time you saw him after a year you have to say the what revive the dead that's the says if you haven't seen your friend in a year you have to do the blessing of thank you Hashem for Reviving The dead now if somebody actually died and came back to life they call it a near-death experience or nde what do you say you don't say you say thank youm for taking me out of danger the same blessing that you do if you flew from New York to Florida if your life was in danger you traveled a long journey Shalom almost a near accident you just had a uh surgery anything like that while your life was on the line you're supposed to go to beet with a Manan 10 people usually people do this on Shabbat but really you should do it the next day uh when you feel better uh and uh especially after women give birth because every time a woman a woman gives birth even if it's an easy birth it's still technically her was in danger her body was in danger she was in danger says that every time a woman is in danger uh every time a woman is in labor that that's when all the all of the prosecutors against her go to sh and say no this is the time look how many sins she made look how many sins she made that's the time so that's why every time a woman gives birth she has to say thank youm for removing me out of the danger but the same thing if somebody got into an accident but came out of it healthy have to say but if somebody went on vacation for a year they went to Hawaii they put Facebook live once in a while that to show you they're in Hawaii you did some Skype sessions with them you know exactly where they are they're having a good time they're having a blast but you didn't see them in person but you know they're having a good time they're not in danger but you haven't seen them in person if you see them in person after a year you have to say the blessing of thank you Hashem for Reviving The Dead so R says why why do you have to say that blessing because if you haven't seen him in a year then definitely one R has passed and if one R has passed the fact that they're alive is a miracle because it's against nature for any one of us to survive R based on our sins so each person that survives each year it's m a miracle it's m Mercy from hasem people always ask where's the mercy from where is the mercy from Hashem the fact that you're still alive is Mercy from hem why because technically if he didn't have mercy we make plenty of sins plenty of sins doesn't mean that he doesn't judge us doesn't mean that he doesn't punish us it just means that if he sees that you have the potential to do chuva he gives you more time gives you more time so now you have o Raba which is M the time where you're going to get judgment in sh it's going to be a favorable judgment for for all of us it's going to be a good year full of but the reality is the same thing that godess enter the in the first time is what we need to know relearn again from ROV and what he says in it says the following soov he says the following he who fulfills even a single Mitzvah gains himself a single Advocate and he who commits even a single transgression single sin gains himself single accuser Chua and Good Deeds are like to Shield against retribution so again like all of the other Mish that we've read so far the literal translation is relatively simple to understand but the deeper meaning is what gets us going by the way anyone that wants to eat feel free to eat that's the point of the food if it's going to help you stay awake if it's going to help you stay alert if it's going to help you enjoy the shoe more go eat there's no problem that's the point where we brought it um but don't socialize at the uh the sushi hey what do you think of the food take the food eat enjoy there's more food there's more food uh in the back for the all nighter there's going to be snacks there's more Sushi there's more uh I don't know there all types of food we got a lot of stuff to help everybody stay up so I can watch you guys eat the whole night so soov gave us a very simple mishna and unlikes most of the previous Mish where like for example the one we went over last night the one we went over last night was broken up into multiple pieces first which lived in the same generation asov that's why the Mish follow each other that kazal says that's one of the signs that they lived in same generation live in the same time so had that broke up into multiple lessons oh here we go the showed up to the the camera is upside down it's good this is how we know the yet is attended it's good it's amazing it's mamash amazing how he does it every sh he shows up he tell us when he shows up it's a uh if anyone doesn't believe in this is the perfect way to do it just watch the and you'll see attend okay now we have a scheme now against we put things sideways he wants to put it sideways we put it sideways also no because I saw how when the camera changes it's very annoying to watch me like this the whole time so all right so gave us a few things he said limit your business activities engag in Torah study uh meaning that no matter how much you work your P will stay the same why because the how much you're going to get until next R doesn't matter if you have one job two jobs three jobs four jobs doesn't matter if you sell diamonds or you sell gold or you sell stocks or you sell Q-tips to hotel chains makes no difference makes absolutely no difference whatever your Hashem wants you to make you'll make there's plenty of people that work many many hours and are poor and there are many people out there that work very few hours and are rich why Hashem decided this one will be poor no matter how much he works and this won't be rich no matter how much he works so is already telling you this in a very simple way don't waste your time overworking do the bare minimum of what you need to do why because in reality you're supposed to learn to that's the first lesson in mishna of last night second lesson was be humble of spirit before every person meaning just because you're learning some Tah doesn't mean that you should show off that oh I know more than you shom that's against the Tor next thing is if you've neglected Tor then you'll have many excuses to neglect it meaning if you're instead of learning to you're answering the phone you're answering a text message you're doing a lot of different things that you're not supposed to do during the time you're supposed to learn to you'll never run out of excuses and eventually it's going to get to a point where Shem could punish a person to such an extent that that he won't allow him to learn toah until he goes to a serious tun meaning every time he opens the book he falls asleep instantly he can't learn so this is actually a real punishment uh for and then last but not least he says if you've labored for T if you've worked hard to learn your torem has ample reward for you and kazal explains it's both the reward in this world and the next even though the majority of the reward or the real reward is in but here we see the last night's Mish and pretty much almost every single mishna before tonight the sage that talks about the mishna gives you multiple lessons in the mishna it's not one thing bunch of things you could learn from this one mishna he breaks it upov says no there's only one lesson I want to teach you there's really one point it's all all of it is connected it's not broken up you can't break it up it's one piece if you do this you'll revive the dead if you do what he says completely not just like joking around if you do what he says you can get to a point where you could mamash revive the Dead one lesson now before we listen to this RAB rabar bov because it sounds kind of extreme let's see who he isob was like I said lived in the same generation as page 64a it says something extraordinary about ROV something that it doesn't say about many other sages in the Torah including RAB even though most of our Torah that we have today most of it is from Ral he was one of the five students that uh restarted the Torah with uh R AKA and you see in almost every subject in the has an opinion in almost every single one but even though he's one of the main contributors to does not always go to him one second we're having a little technical difficulty here Satan is improved new and improved never had internet problems until now so apparently I upset him I upset the Satan oh see dropped off okay part two we're just having some technical difficulties and we're starting one second okay start live okay okay so with the technical difficulties continuing um soov lived in the same generation as but even though contributed in almost every single mishna in almost every single in almost every single subject in the entire Tor contributed his opinion but the does not go like R all the time sometimes yes sometimes no sometimes yes sometimes no there's a few people like ran gel where the says anytime raan G says an opinion is like him there there's a few people that have that page 64 it says any place that ROV States he's correct he's right is like him why is T was correct meaning no opinions what he says that's d t that's Mount sa there's no second there's nothing else you can't dispute him he says it that's it and this is in 122 different 122 times that he's mentioned which is not many considering how many we have anyone that looked for example uh through the of Shabbat if you're saric then you're looking through y it's a book that started and then he let his son continue it the series the the's right now is he continued it and you have a collection of yak and now they've uh completed I would say a little more than half of the collection is a translation to English it's very very uh you know extraordinary uh series and it makes it simplifies all the now many people listening to the I mentioned it a few times and they started buying theab Shabbat section is three books now each one of these books you see there's hundreds and hundreds of and this is just about chabat we're not talking about koser we're not talking about this is just Shabbat hundreds of for example has over a thousand So when you say 122 contributed to initially it sounds like a lot wow 122 but in reality it's not that many it's not that many which shows that R he doesn't speak often doesn't speak often but when he does he's right imagine that imagine you didn't speak much but whatever you said was right we're wrong half the time we still think we're right so RZ everything he said was right so when he whatever he's telling us right now is Al it's not an opinion it's not a nice strategy this is this is what the says this is what the says this is everything he says right here this is Mount Si this is we're all at Mount Si right now this is what God Said what did he say anyone who fulfills one mitvah eat eat please anyone don't Fe it doesn't bother me doesn't bother me I brought the food for you guys to eat um listen somebody has to eat it so please somebody has to eat it eat doesn't bother me um no but the socializing you can't do the eating yes that you know so is telling us something that seems relative ly simple but at the same time he's telling us something that could M get us to the highest level we could possibly imagine that until now we didn't think was possible in our generation so he says the following he says if you make one mitvah you fill one Mitzvah we're not talking about 10v 20 you learn the entire T by heart no no he says one mitvah one just one mitvah anyah whatever you want any mitvah any mitvah you learn one mitvah one mitvah that mitvah creates an advocate for you what does it mean an advocate for you what does an advocate means kazal explains it creates something called a Sanol a Sanol is an angel the vouches for you in sham on the other hand if a person makes a sin he creates himself an accuser kazal says what is this accuser called AO a prosecutor so in the uh in the it talks about when somebody gets in uh gets to the Heavenly Court in sham no one is surprised there's no surprises in judgment why is there no surprises because all of the sun go in a c go that you've created your whole life are right next to you and they talk for you so the first one says hey I'm the one that he created when he ate Pig I'm the one that he ate that he created when he ate Pig with cheese I'm the one that he created eating pig and cheese on yum Kip I'm the one that he did when he turned on the car in Shabbat I'm the one that he created when he turned the radio on Shabbat I'm the one that we created when he pressed the gas on Shabbat and these are my friends for the rest of the ride and and you have M millions and zillions and zillions of prosecutors against you so you kids don't don't no I didn't do it kids I didn't do it why they're right next to you that's the evidence you gave them life you're their father you're their mother this is a problem you can't lie in sham you can't sweet talk same token is with the Sono the son go is one each time you make a mitvah you create an angel that vouches for you I'm the one that he created when he laid I'm the one that he created when he read one word in Tor each word in Tor has a few letters let's say average word has four letters average word in Tor is four MIT so each each time you read one word in the T on the average you're creating Four Angels you read that's why it's by the way that you have to read the twice and then once with commentary every week this also why we say several times a day because it's coming from the T these from the hasem wants you to create Angels even though you don't even know they exist because you're going to need them you're going to need them now this story I heard maybe five six years ago but I heard it again today and it hit home even more today than it did back then there was one time a guy he had three friends one friend was like his best friend he spent all the time with him all the time they' go on vacation together they go to work together they hang out together best friend all the time they were together another friend they weren't as close weren't as close but he was with them a bunch of time the third wasn't really a friend he was like an acquaintance he would visit him once in a while once in a while whenever he like didn't have anything to do whenever the first guy was busy the second guy was away all right I'll hang out with the third guy so this is three friends that this guy had now one day this guy gets into into trouble oh here we go oh okay sat left we had the technical difficulties so one day the uh the guy gets in trouble and he's scared why because they got into a major major problem and it could be that he can go and actually get death penalty I had a friend real life story was a major executive in a big Energy company made a fortune hundreds of millions of dollars retired thinking that he's on top of the world he's in his prime has tons of money in the bank more than what he knows what to do with one day he goes to uh pick up his friend from the air airport because that's apparently what friends do for each other they pick each other from the airport even though there's taxis and things you can pay for but I don't for some reason people like to pick up other people from the airport by the way if I ever come to your town don't pick me up from the airport just if you want pay for the cab it's a complete waste of time to pick up people from the airport it's double way you waste time and it doesn't cost any less you still have to pay toll you still have to pay parking you still have to pay gas I don't know why people do it but anyway such is life um people always ask me oh can you give me a right to the airport no I'll give you money give you money for the airport whatever it costs I'll pay for the cab I'll never take you to the airport no but what no chance why would I waste three hours of my life taking you to the airport I just got pay a guy takes me 30 seconds you're in the airport save myself three hours of my life my three hours is worth more than the $50 or $100 that they cost so anyway this guy was very very rich apparently didn't have anything to do so he wanted to pick up his friend from the airport but on the way to the airport the guy in front of him stopped short on the highway and he was going really fast so he hit him he hit him in the back stopped pulled over he got hurt then he goes they go to the front of where the uh the guy is the guy that stopped short in the highway died Old Man Died now what's the case did he die before he hit him and that's why he stopped short in the highway oh thank you vot or did he die from the hit this was a major case that took millions of dollars tons of time and everything was on the line for this guy so all the money in the world that he had was worthless now why he could spend the rest of his prime years in jail because they were trying him for murder they were trying him for murder he got released everything was good he got uh they determined that the guy died before he hit him but the point being is that all the money in the world couldn't help him at that point it was just theem deciding whether he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail or not so this guy that's in the story We guys forgot about the story we're back in the story now so this guy that was in danger on a similar situation he's in danger and he calls his friends first guy calls his best friend the one he's hanging out with every single day for years it's like he buddy listen I have this big case I got a trial I don't know what's going to happen I don't know if they're going to convict me I don't know if they're G I I didn't do it I promise but I need some support some moral support what does his friend say this best friend this BFF that he spent all these years with I'm sorry buddy I can't go I'm busy I can't go no but come on you're my friend you're my boy for years we've been together we like this come with me to the cas I'm not asking you to fight for me I'm not asking you to give me money I'm just asking you to just be there for moral support sit in in the court I'm sorry buddy I'm buy I can't go what a let down this is worse than the case this is worse than being convicted guilty so what does he do M he calls the second guy the second guy that you know he hung out with once in a while he says listen my friend didn't come through can you help me out can you give me some moral support can you come with me to to my big case they may convict me I may be guilty I may not leave it's a problem what do the second guy say second guy says listen I can come with you but all the way to the courtroom once you get to the courtroom I I'm leaving I'm not going inside I'll give you a ride to the airport I'll give you a ride to the airport but I'm not going inside I'm not flying with you I'll take it what are you going to do I'll take it but I still need somebody to give me some like when I'm in the court I'm crying something so what does he do he calls the guy he hasn't talked to in months the guy that he was an acquaintance with once in a while we'd visit him Hey listen I'm in trouble hey we in trouble where are you I'll be there no no I got a case no problem I'll be there tell me where it is I'm there I'll be with you throughout the whole case I'll even vouch for you I'll write a letter for you all of a sudden this acquaintance that he even know he was friends with is writing letters for him he's vouching for him he's fighting for him your honor he's a sadik he didn't do it well you know what he did no but I know he didn't do it he's a sadik this guy got the surprise of his life best friend didn't show up qu the middle guy gave him a ride the guy that he was like friendly with the guy was like friendly with is like writing letters on his behalf surprise what's the biggest surprise the biggest surprise is the story is about us this entire story is about us how is it about us a guy invests all of his time with his best friend what's his best friend money his job every day chases money every day he goes to the drug store and sells drugs he goes to the muffler store to sell Mufflers he goes to the diamond store to sell diamonds and he spends overtime to save for a vacation he's never going to take and he spends extra time to build a company he doesn't need and he spends extra time to build another house that he doesn't even want and he's there overtime and overtime and overtime and overtime he spends all of his time there that's the best friend but on Judgment Day when a person goes to shamayim after 120 a person comes to shamayim Hashem says I'm sorry you can't bring your money with you it can't come what you have a million 5 million 10 million 20 30 50 100 million it all stays be behind you can't bring it with you all of it stays behind that extra big house that you just built an extension for stays behind the big Bank accountant with the 401K next to it stays behind that's the best friend you spent all your life with right stays behind it can't come to court with you who's the second guy second guy gave you a ride that's the family family you spend a little time with them an hour here an hour there like you're doing them a favor no what do you mean I was home from eight hours last night yeah but you slept 7 and A2 you ate dinner you went to sleep 7 and A2 hours you you count that as being home but they're going to give you a right to where to the funeral someone dies they're about to meet their maker what happens before the body goes to the funeral they're going to give you right to the funeral it's the least they can do it's the most they can do they can't come with you to Sham they can't come with you to sh but who's your best friend who's the guy that's vouching for you who's the guy that came through and you didn't even spend any time with him at all once in a while you did him a favor that's Torah that's mitv once in a while you did a mitvah by accident you created an angel once in a while you late on time you know before 3:00 in the afternoon you know like on time in the morning when the rest of religious people do it in the morning once in a while you do it right you get an angel you get right an angel what is he doing in sh oh you're in trouble I'm writing a letter for you what what happened he's sadik is sadik what do you mean sadik look what this guy no no hm is sadik he's sadik he's vouching for you that's what this Mna is tell is saying that one that you don't spend any time with that's who's going to vouch for you your money your family your friends your everything else can't do nothing for you can't do nothing for you nothing I heard a story five six years ago it hit the spot back then but today it hit more you know you repeat it's one of the things you're supposed to do learn to you repeat you go over things and every single time you go over tah the second time is better the third time is better and it keeps getting better that's the beauty of Tor so there's also another story about um r r it's known he has he wrote the but there's also another book that he wrote that was like in essence like his journal why did his journal became so famous many little girls write journals doesn't become famous unless like an Frank or something like that for the most part if you have a daughter she writes a journal at some point it goes in a trash or in some I don't know safe that no one's ever gonna open as a uh sentimental uh Journal that no one's ever gonna read but in reality it's never going to become famous rabf car's Journal became famous why did he become famous because in his journal he wrote who his best friend was who his kuta was who was it the angel he had an angel that was his Kut and the angel's name was Magid that's the angel's name angel's name was mid so one day he writes in his journal he says that at night the angel would come to him at night this is the it's not a crazy person this isik this is one of the greatest minds and people that ever lived in history he wrote which is the book of laws of all of Judaism we base everything on him he took it from the rambam the rambam took it from thear but the point is that what we have today is from him this is not a just some guy whoever doesn't know who rabf is like I didn't know who he was initially and then eventually you learn like oh this is the m of his generation so he was at the level where he had a of an Angel we could barely spell the word Angel because something we spell angle instead of Angel he actually had a of Angel so now he writes in the book one time the angel came to me came to me at night and he rebuked me why do you rebuke me he says why didn't you learn M today you're supposed to learn at least two hours of m a day has to learn two hours of m a day a person that has an angel as as as a had to learn mus two hours a day and the angel rebuked them because he didn't learn full two hours if R had to learn two hours of m a day we should learn 200 hours a day we should pray instead of hem judge us like theik like the and all judge us just give us 200 hours a day so we can learn mus not 24 hours so we can catch up to so he says the angel rebuked him because he didn't study a full two hours that was one of the times another time he was learning and he hadine on now it's a known thing that when you have on you cannot fall asleep you cannot you know use it go to the bathroom with it it says in thear if you have if you have to go to the bathroom you have to take them off you put them on the side um you can't pass gas to a uh which believe it or not is a problem for some people talks about it uh it's a very big problem if somebody passes gas when they have this seems like a like a silly thing but it's a reality especially for little kids that don't know yet 13 14 year old kid doesn't know it's a big deal sometimes adults don't think it's a big deal if they don't learn M they don't learn ethics they don't think it's a big deal but when you have on in essence what you're doing is that you have a a direct phone line open with Hashem Skype hashem's in front of you it's connected direct line it's right in front of you you see it or not don't see it it's your problem but he's there so when you're lay you can't even get to a point of thinking about anything else other than than holy things you can't think about the stock market you can't a lot of people socialize with feeling on hey what do you think what are you doing today what do you think of the real estate market what do you think of the stock market what do you think of this Market what do you think of this girl what do you think of this what do you think of this guy like all of that stuff not all to do you're only allowed to think about Tor when you have on either prayer or learning Tor and this the sages in the days of the used to wear all day which means they literally learned T they had T in their on their mind at all times so r one time was learning tah and suddenly his head fine break they get the uh the strap breaks and it falls on the floor now this is not a strap made of paper this is leather leather doesn't just break so M like someone cut it but there's no one there and he was really in a lot of Sorrow started M doing chuva cried because having fall on the floor is like fall on the floor you have to fast it's a problem at night his friend the mid the angel mid says oh you cried today huh yeah yeah I cry why did you cry because your fell on the floor goes yeah yeah I know I know you know okay crying yeah I cry because because I did it I cut the fing I made them fall on the floor you know why because for a moment while you were studying Torah you weren't thinking about Tor you weren't thinking about hem you were thinking about something else for a moment and that moment you didn't think about Hashem and this Torah caused theem more sorrow than theine hitting the floor so I cut it to give you sorrow you deserve it so there's a price to pay when you have an angel as a k that's what he wrote in his journal so here we see we have sometimes angels that we create we don't see R was able to see it now when a person makes this Mitzvah he makes this himself an Angel that's going to help him this is the one mitvah that can take him take him to the positive side because the page 40b says that each person is supposed to judge himself as if he has 50/50 meaning he's even the next mitvah the next takes him to the positive or the negative side and since all of Israel are reliable on each other they're all relying on each other they all dependent on each other that means that your next mitvah or your next could literally take the entire nation to the positive or the negative side so that one angel that you create as a positive or A negative effect on the on you and also on the entire nation so there's a lot on the line here now in the other hand when you're making a sin most people think that sins are not relevant to today anymore we're such a weak generation who here didn't hear about how weak this generation is from some Rabbi every Rabbi usually starts the lecture with oh this is a weak generation weak generation weak generation we get to a point sometimes we think we're so weak we shouldn't do anything but in reality the tah that we got in Mount Si is the same Torah nothing changed absolutely nothing changed andish says inra page 16 it says that the Satan is also the and the is also the Mal meaning that first the comes to you and tells you listen go look at that girl yeah but she's not my wife go look at any who cares No One's Gonna See I'm it's okay it's okay don't go look the rabbi's not here go look go look yet convince you go look at the girl you're not allow to look at yet cause you to do something nasty to your wife yet cause you to overcharge your customer yet caus you to do something against hem after you do do it you fall for it because he convinced you what does he do he goes to Sham and he says hm look look look look what he did look what he did look what he he's looking at the girl he's looking at the girl that's Satan that's Satan he goes and he tells on you after he convinced you to go do it he goes look hm look at his rash look what he's doing against you look hem you're watching hem like hm doesn't know you're watching hem you're watching this guy that's Satan that's called Masa love and after said oh okay you know what that's it we're finished passed pass pass judgment negative I'm sorry my friend we have to deliver a judgment he says to the Mal go do what you do who's the Mal the same one that convinced you to make the sin in the first place and the same one that told theem said it's all the same thing but in [Applause] reality you are the one that gave him Power by by himself he doesn't have any power you're the one that gave him Power by making different sins that open the door for him every time you make a sin every time you listen to him you give him more power now mid say that this specific mishna that talks about first of all about how every single mitvah makes an positive angel every sin makes a negative Angel this is the proof this is the source that we use that there's no such thing as this is a weak generation and if you make sins the is just going to let it go and written hundreds and hundreds of years ago are telling you what people say today it's complete nonsense says this is the mishna that proved it's nonsense because if a sin created a negative Angel a bad Angel a prosecutor 2,000 years ago it still does it now if it creates a positive angel it's going to be a defendant for you it still does it now this is the proof there's no get out of jail free cards with Hashem there's no such thing Asm you know what just do whatever you want no big deal you're in a weak generation go drive on Shabbat eat pork go out with a non-jew marry them if you want waste seed do whatever you want why you're in a weak generation don't worry everybody has a don't worry don't worry it's true that everyone Hasa the problem is there's two sides TOA one side is hotter than the other that's a reality there Isa for everyone it's just that one of them is hot and there's no air conditioner the bmov one time came to one of his opponents somebody that used to say about the bov and he came to him and he said how could you say inside your Suka it was sukot it happened to be sukot how can you say on inside your we just had we we I mean how can you inside the you saying the guy that said was also a rabbi using shu How do you know how do you know who told you says what do you mean who told me the angel told me goes since when do angels speak meaning the angel saying that I said that would actually be if let's say for example somebody says something negative somebody says something negative even if it's true he says something negative and you heard it and you go tell the other person hey uh Mr so and so this guy says something negative about you there's a possibility a likelihood that what you're doing is actually unless you're protecting them unless you're protecting them because what the other person said could cause damage if it's just ah this guy said you're ugly this guy said you're fat this guy said you're I don't know a fool you telling them is not useful at all it's but you telling the other person it's you're not allowed to do it so there's laws of but the point is is that these angels telling the bov what this other guy said is so they said who who since when do angels say l say oh when you said L inside your Suka you created an angel that angel came to me and told me you created him by saying about me and just like the creator of the Angel doesn't care about making sins neither does the angel that he created he also doesn't care about making sins he also doesn't care about making the child is the same thing as the father that angel is considered a child the fact that bahm was at such a level that he was able to see somebody else's Angels is a different story but nonetheless we see here that this is very much a real uh part of Judaism it's not just fairy tales and stories some people don't like to believe this stuff St they say it's too mystical but that's their problem one of the biggest things that's hard for people to understand say sometimes There are rules in Torah that are black and white black and white there's no uh there's no if ends or buts about it you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat unless it's for p unless you're saving a life unless you're driving to the hospital not let to drive on Shabbat you're not to drive at theet you're not all to drive to your parents house you're not all to drive to make your wife happy not to drive on Shabbat this is a black and white rule there is no exception except if it's a life risk there is also certain things certain black and white rules in Judaism that there is no exceptions around them there is no there's no leniency so sometimes when you tell people about these things they think that you are you are stringent and everyone else all the other rabbis that don't say anything they're more lenient than you but the truth is is that you're telling them what the actual Al is black and white and all the other rabbis just didn't tell them for different reasons sometimes they're scared of them sometimes they don't care sometimes they're evil there's many many reasons of why someone's not going to tell you the truth point being is that there are certain things that are black and white one of the biggest things that is black and white is Jewish Education Jewish Education now when you tell somebody listen to send your child to public school to American public school is worse than murdering him worse than murdering him why is it worse than murdering him because in essence you're guaranteeing the kid unless by some major Miracle no less than rsf K's angel that was a the kid is going to become a the kid is g to be just like his friends he's going to be surrounded by kids that are not keeping T not keeping many of them are not even Jewish he's going to befriend them he's going to want to be like them everybody want to be like their friends if they don't want to be like their friends they're not friends people hang out with people that they want to be like that they can relate to so a parent sending their child to public school they're pretty much destroying them it's a black and white rule there's no like if ends or BS there's no like no no he's going to get his rabinal teaching at home with a private tutor No Such Thing even if he has M come to his house teach him T after school still not allowed to go to public public school to such an extent that again says it's better your son dies then you send him to public school it's better he dies that's how bad it's a black and white rule but sometimes people make exceptions when there's no room to make an exception there's no room to make an exception so there are other parts of Judaism that are not so Jewish for example there's some people that call themselves reform reform Jews or conservative Jews or open Orthodoxy or Messianic Judaism all of these things call themselves Jewish but they have nothing to do with Judaism some of them are actually you know have mothers that are Jewish but as far as the actual practice has nothing to do with Judaism nothing to do with it the only similarity is they see that Torah is something they read follow is a different story follow is a completely different story so now sometimes people say listen the Yeshiva the Orthodox Judaism Yeshiva regular traditional Yeshiva is expensive or it's not teaching certain subjects that I want to teach my son or my daughter so I'm going to send them to this other Yeshiva that's being taught by reformed rabbis or by conservative rabbis this is worse than public school worse we just said Public School of again says better the kid dies sending him to reform or or or conservative is worse to such an extent that a lot of people think that reform is worse than conservative it's not true if you remember we talked about him last week or two weeks ago he was one of theam s students and he wrote a book very famous book M but he was a b m that traveled from City to City to such an extent that when he would step over the border and people found out that he's coming into that he's just came into the city everybody will start doing everybody would start doing CH why if he's here if is here we have to do chuva he's not here for no reason he heard that were cooling off he heard when not doing enough there's something wrong he's not coming for no reason it's not like today you just go on a train two hours later in a different city or you go on a plane an hour two hours lady or somewhere else back then you traveled to the city took a while came here we have a problem says conservative is much worse than reform much worse why reform they give Bar Mitzvah to dogs you know it's not Judaism you know it's not Judaism it's not like it's like someone think someone in the world actually thinks this is authentic mosu Judaism no one thinks including the rabbis there which are most of the time not even Jewish most of the time the rabbis themselves are not Jewish and sometimes they're not even men they're women no one thinks this is Judaism including them so it's obvious it's obvious tar it's obvious tar with conservative at least in his day in his day he says it has the image of Judaism because in his day sadly conservative was similar to O to um modern Orthodox today they weren't like the conservative of today where the head Rabbi of the conservative movement in Jerusalem is openly gay today the head Rabbi of conservative movement is openly gay and now there is one major decision being considered by all of the conservative leaders what's the what's the what's the decision should we allow inter marriage meaning should we change the Tora and say there's a new rule from now on go and Jews are allowed to marry and we'll actually get them into our kot and everything is okay this is already accepted and reformed by the way now they're saying in conservative we've been considering it for many years and we feel like we're losing our people if we don't start accepting into marriage but in his day in's day the reality was that conservative was actually closer to Modern Orthodox and he still says this looks like real Judaism that's why it's more dangerous now I'm not telling everybody that you have to look a certain way act a certain way be a certain way to be real or not real the reality of it is every single day someone has to look in the mirror and they have to ask themselves the same question I ask myself am I doing what God Said or am I just making new laws is it my opinion or God's opinion God said you have to be modest am I modest not modest God said you have to watch your mouth am I watching my mouth or not God said you have to pray a certain time am I doing it or not God said learn to him are learning to him I learning the salary cap of all the basketball teams in the in the NBA God said certain things am I doing it or am I just making new laws do I know more about the stock market than I know about mosenu am I doing it am I doing what God Said or am I just creating new opinions said this did I say something different am I doing something different that's what the question you have to ask yourself has nothing to do it looks you don't have to wear black and white you don't have to wear a black keeper wear a pink keeper for all I care doesn't really look good on a guy but you want to wear pink keeper I enjoy but it's better you wear a pink keeper that covers your entire head then wear a tank top that's black it's where it's better you wear a pink keeper that covers your entire head than have a rotten heart that cheats people all the time with the black and white on so the problem with this other versions of Judaism is that it's not a version of Judaism at all it just looks like it the the today's biggest poison is not even reform and conservative today's biggest poison is called Messianic Judaism and the reason why it's the biggest poison out of the other ones is because it has absolutely nothing to do with Judaism to such an extent that it is a guarantee a guarantee for a person to never have a share in the world to come if they go there why because it's Christianity Messianic Judaism is Christianity in Disguise they tell you listen we learn Torah but we worship JC Penney we learn Torah but we believe that Yeshua is the mhia and we believe the New Testament and we believe this and we believe that they don't follow any of the rules but they say they believe now because they call themselves Messianic Judaism and they keep reading you verses that are very hard to understand from the prophets it has the image of Judaism and many Jews are falling for it many Jews I'm not obviously it's many go that are falling for it but many Jews are falling for it too and very few are doing anything about it so why am I mentioning all of these things is because anytime we make a shield that talks about all this stuff what's the biggest def that these people try to say Hey listen you shouldn't say you shouldn't say about Messianic Judaism you shouldn't say by conservative Judaism so once and for all I want to explain to everybody there's no such thing as against if someone's an enemy of God there's no such thing as as a matter of fact you're obligated it's a mitvah you're obligated to publicize that he's a rash you're obligated to publicize that he's AEL you're obligated why CU once somebody leads people away from hasem they're now under a different definition they're no long even if their father is Jewish their mother is Jewish they're all big rabbis and everything else if they're leading people away from God to some other form of some fake Judaism or non- Judaism they now have a new classification they're no longer considered a natural Jew they're now considered under the definition of a mean Min i n and a mean is someone that is outright an enemy of hem in in the um R he says there are certain people that have no but to such an extent where if they did chuva you help them but certain people go to such a such a far extent that even if they want to do chuva you're not allowed to help them they could do it if they actually succeed good luck but you are not allowed to help help them do cha who is it me people that led other people away from God people that led people to Christianity people that led people away from Hashem in one way or another not let to help them do chuba why they're enemies of hem so this is a very serious problem because Unfortunately today it's almost popular to lead people away from hasem so you don't even know who you're allowed to help you are not allowed to help so the Mish here is telling you if you take it into consideration that every single time you take any action you're creating an angel good or bad that's already the beginning of your chuva why because if you actually visualize there's an angel right now being created as a result of whatever you're doing that should change your should change your behavior if it doesn't there's something wrong with you or you just don't believe it's doing it it's a different story like many people tell me listen he knows everything but he doesn't keep there's no such thing there's no such thing as someone that knows everything and doesn't keep they may know the they may know you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat they may know that you're not allowed to be with a married woman that's not your married woman they may know that you're not allowed to do certain things but they don't believe it and if you don't believe it you might as well will not know it to know Torah and believe Tor two different things two different things if you believe it then whatever you know is 100% real if you don't believe it you might as well not know it doesn't make a difference it's like knowing the secret of how to win tic-tac-toe if you never play it doesn't make a difference it's KN The Secret of how to make codes but if you work as a guy that's a mechanic it doesn't make a difference if you know code you're not using it so if you you can know all the by heart but if you don't believe what they say it's all meaningless so there's no such person on Earth that believes the Torah and actually doesn't follow it no such thing why because if you know Torah that means that you know the 13 principles of faith and the 13 principles of Faith elaborate on what r elzar benov is saying he's not only saying here he's saying that every time you do something there's an angel positive one or a negative one the 13 principles of Faith expands further and he says eventually you're either going to be rewarded or punished by this very same Angel this very same angel that you created that's an evil angel he's going to be the one hitting you so why would you want to create people to beat you up or angels to beat you up like somebody's you know getting a group of guys hey guys come come over here come over here okay jump me beat me up no one in the right mind would do it so the people that know t or they consider themselves they know Torah but don't follow it that means they just don't believe it they don't believe anything that's a different story it's a different argument it's a different argument them you have to show them proofs that the Torah is real the Torah is valid the Torah is divine and so on and so forth and then you explain to them why this and why this and why this to the best of your ability but to believe that someone knows everything is not following it is the biggest mistake in the world because it's not possible and the reason why is because part of learning Torah one of the most important parts that eventually you get to is to learn what punishment is like what actually happens it's punishment you losing some money it's punishment you getting a cold it's punishment your wife yelling at you or your kids failing in school what's punishment what's punishment eventually you get to a point you learn punishment is not that punishment is much much worse so anyone that knows Torah knows a little bit about what punishment is and anyone that knows a little bit about punishment immediately gets there's no way that you know even 1% of one % of what punishment really is and still sin against hem on purpose mistake everybody makes mistakes but on purpose nobody in their right mind will do it nobody so the first and foremost is telling you make aah good no good you're creating problems for yourself now the is much stronger than us much smarter than us and we talk about it all the time how do we defend ourselves against it now if you remember anyone that uh prays every day it's is showing up again anyone that prays every day in a uh AR which we'll do after this whoever I already did it but whoever didn't do it should do Al after this you could do Al by the way as far as uh you could do it until morning if if necessary you should do it before midnight but you can technically do it until uh until morning uh all throughout the night so if you ever get stuck or you come home at 3 o'clock in the morning from a lecture and you haven't done Al you can still do Al so in our um in several places in sh and actually in it also says it it says after break and remove the Satan from before us meaning in front of us and from behind us now breaking the Satan removing the Satan anything that's negative against Satan is good for us it's good get him away from us that we don't really need much of a about we don't really need much commentary about that the tough part is what do you mean be the one that's in front of us and the one that's behind us what does it mean says the one that's behind us all the things that we're dealing with right now it's in front of us actually all things that we're dealing with right now help us AEM help us make the right decision help us make the right decision instead of going to sleep go to sh T instead of going to basketball game go to sh T instead of doing this this and this learn to make help us make the right decision that's just in front of us but behind us that's a tougher one what do you mean behind us the sin already happened sin already happened so why why you protect us from the Satan from behind us no no no sin can happen from things you already did you just don't know it yet what could it be this is what we learned last night last night we learned that sometimes somebody will pass the first level Satan comes to him says don't learn tah don't learn to go watch basketball go to uh some you know lecture that talks about uh money go to do something else just don't learn Torah and you overcame the Satan you overcame the and you actually went to now Satan is not retiring what does he do he comes back again just like he came back in the sh on the camera at least four or five times he comes back again what does he do after he went to sh you feel good about yourself you feel good about yourself you come home honey I'm why I went to three hours you slept two and a half hours but I went to sh three hours I went to everything I read I understand everything I everything I know everything I don't even need to go to sh anymore I'm good I I'm perfect I think I can teach next week that's that's the the you did Satan's gonna try to ruin them you made a mitvah now it's going to go to your head it's going to go to your head and you're gon to think you're you think you're GNA be you're bigger than what you really are you think that all of a sudden you gave some oh I give oh you don't know how much I give this building who do you think got the money this Rabbi who you think pays for him did who do I have to say no come on do I have to say do I have to say you know you meet those people you meet those do I have to say who it is who do you think runs this plate do I have to say that's that's the you already did mitvah you gave you gave money to the rabbi you gave money to K you donated SE whatever you did but what do you say do I have to you don't know you you don't I'm not a regular person I had one guy I had one guy called God bless him God bless his so hopefully does chuva one day this guy M special Soul special Soul definition he calls my Rabbi but I'm not going to go with all the details but the point is that he says a few things complains about a few things and uh bro FR God bless him he listens he listen lets you talk and he says to the rabbi goes you know I'm not a regular person I'm not a is p not a simple person in Torah world that means you're not like like I'm a commoner no no meaning is a commoner but if I'm not a commoner that means I'm a you know I I know when the don't make a decision they call me says at that very moment I knew that he's a what's m he's crazy everything he says he's P he doesn't know to whatever why calling you you're barely 21 years old calling you you just learned how to wipe your butt without a diaper now calling you but that's people get into their head it gets into their head they learn a few they learn a few they think they all they have a little notebook they write their on which 90% of them are wrong anyway they go off you know why do I have to say do I really have to say who I am I'm I'm not a simple person that's the people that's you did you're ruining it you're ruining it be quiet humble quiet so the uh the good news is is your effort of whatever you're making whether it's a mitvah is going to create a complete or incomplete Angel meaning if your mitvah is full intention Mitzvah your angel is going to be a Powerhouse Angel strong big six wings powerful used to have eight wings but they lost to after M they lost two says they lost two wings now they have six some say it's only four but still powerful angel can help you win the case on the other hand if you're one of these people that does like thein is on the side you think like it's one of those baseball hats like they used to wear in public schools where you used to go to they used to wear side you know the hat sideways and you're wearing yourin sideways because you think you're doing got for doing or you give but you have 300 bucks in your pocket but you give $3 because n it's $3 it's enough it's enough for them it's enough for them look they have a building already yeah but the building has expenses so if you're one of those people that does a mitvah that's not incomplete then what happens is your angel is deformed he's missing an eye he's missing an arm he's missing a leg so came to Hashem and he says look Hashem I know it's yum Kip I know it's Judgment Day I know I knowm I know look at these Angel all these all these demons that Amel created I know we made lot of sins but come on look AEM we also have some okay okay he always looked for the okay okay we don't have as many MIT we don't have as many good angels as we have the other ones I understand AEM but look the 10 angels that we have on the good side they're strong when we did a mitvah finally look what kind of Mitzvah we did 100% Mitzvah gave 100% 100% okay Shabbat was 50 koser was 50 fine but look the mitvah we did powerful a look this guy's missing an eye this guy's missing a leg this guy's missing a wing what does it mean hem it shows these are these angels are they're deformed Angels because when we did the sins we weren't so sure we wanted to make a sin but listen we have so it's not from your to keep these B these deformed angels that so you would fight for is you would argue with hem for the benefit of figuratively speaking obviously so but this is actually very much real all of the stuff that I'm telling you these angels are very much real and Dav actually talks about it in a Psalm 91 verse 7 it says you put this is actually something you read in you read it in and uh yeah 91 a okay so it says thousand may fall victim at your side and 10,000 on your right or a myate of right uh will fall on your right but you shall not be uh you shall not approach meaning you will not be affected by it what is this what is what is David saying it says when you finally listen to the rest of the mishna that ROV said you have protection he says chuva and Good Deeds are like a shield against retribution when someone makes sense against AEM Hashem has different Creations in the world that he created purely for punishment sometimes it's a bug sometimes it's deflation sometimes it's inflation sometimes it's a boss sometimes it's a rock sometimes it's a car plane weather whatever there's different Creations that Hashem has that he uses them for different things and sometimes their only usefulness is to punish someone and we talked about last night is that kazal says that there are plenty of things that Hashem created in the world that are waiting to be used for what to punish people that's their only purpose in life it's the only purpose of whyem created them there's a certain mosquito that was created in the world just to punish somebody and did something wrong in the next day he's going to scratch himself for three hours because of this mosquito for whatever sin that he made so anytime somebody makes a sin he makes this Angel eventually hasem has to pass judgment he has to judge the person punish him for certain things now that means he sent a messenger now says if you do chuva and Good Deeds they'll act like a shield against the retribution why doesn't it say if you do chuva you don't have to worry about anything it should cancel out your sins it should kill the bad Angels no it doesn't because even though your chuv is good you did chv problem is HEM already created that vehicle to punish you he created that mosquito he created that car he created that plane he created those things so it's already cre it's already in the system but if you do chuv in Good Deeds that juine good deed will actually act as a shield meaning that even though they're going to come that mosquitoes going to come as soon as he sees the new version of you he's going to walk he's going to fly right he's not just going to disappear out of existence he's going to be reused rerouted like when I make 80 mistakes on the way here or somewhere else my GPS is rerouting same thing same thing rerouted the car the plane the wind imma imma came they wanted to punish a bunch of people a few people's houses and made a right turn didn't touch it everybody else around were destroyed that house nothing why didn't deserve the punishment simple as it gets didn't deserve it that shows if you actually look at the details of what happened during during during Hurricane imma who got hurt who didn't get hurt you go into the details of some of the Miracles that happened during that storm it's mamash you see the intelligent design behind everything you just see the hand of hasem behind everything it's unbelievable so here David says thousand are going to fall and 10,000 going to fall by your sides who's who's who are these thousand and 10 what are these that's the demons you created that's the bad Angels you created he says they're going to fall meaning they're going to fall but they're not going to touch you they'll have you created them already you can't just make them uncreated they're there but they're not going to touch you why you did Chua you did chuva the problem is is that sometimes we do Chua in the beginning and then we go back we start keeping Shabbat but then one of our childhood friends shows up unannounced on Friday night and he tries to convince us to go out we start keeping Shabbat and all of a sudden our parents that don't keep anything want to come over for Shabbat and they want us to watch a movie with them we start keeping kosher but but all of a sudden our boss invites us to our annual dinner at a non kosher place we start keeping mitv and all of a sudden the new company that wants to hire us wants to invite us to an event in Las Vegas AKA Sodom and gamorra but we want this job so we're being tested and unfortunately many times people fail they just start doing CH they start keeping Shabbat they start keeping they start keeping hasem says okay let me see if you're really serious to be religious at home is very easy very easy everybody's religious at home everybody people tell me no I wear I wear TI all day said yeah what about when you leave the house no come on I don't wear want I leave the house but at home I wear TI all the time I go to sleep with t like yeah the problem is the mitv is for during the day not at night you go to sleep with it enjoy but the mitvah is for during the day when you're outside he goes yeah but wear kipa wait you wear K outside no no I don't wear K outside I wear kipa when I'm at home so that their religion their Judaism their God is only in their house it's not in the mall it's not at work it's not everywhere else it's only in the house or in the synagogue it's very easy to be religious when no one sees you that's whyem sends tests to those people I want to know what you you're going to do when everyone sees you I want to know what you're going to do what you going to do when you're getting tested when I send that beautiful girl in front of you are you going to look at her Hashem created beauty but is it for you is it for you to look at so that's the thing that people fail at why because they hide they hide their Judaism Hashem gives them a convenient way to be religious a convenient way to do Chua there have a few new friends synagogue is right next to the house they can work out of the house or the job is really close nobody gets in their way there's not really many many tests so to do chuva becomes easy eat kosher okay so instead of shopping at this Supermarket you shop at that Supermarket big deal keep it's a vacation once a week no one should really take that much credit for keeping Shabbat it's not really that much of a big deal some a big deal if you really think about it it's very easy to keep Shabbat today it's very different to keep Shabbat today than keeping Shabbat a 100 years ago you could do so many things on Shabbat you could do more things on Shabbat today permissibly then you can't do there's more things that are allowed than not allowed it's no problem keeping Shabbat but people give themselves extra credit for keeping a few mitv but then as soon ASM gives them a test they're keeping Shabbat for three months four months five months by themselves or with their spouse or with their friends but all of a sudden their usual environment changes and someone comes in to stir the pie a little bit the parents that don't keep anything the friends that don't keep anything the boss someone comes in to stir the pie and all of a sudden they become this actually happens very often with Israelis that go to live in America and go to visit Israel they do chuva in America they start keeping mitv but they go to vacation to Israel as soon as they go to vacation in Israel in Israel they become they become secular they go to the beach they go do a lot of things they become secular why because like they feel at home and it's like everyone at home knows them as their past self they're not comfortable with themselves yet it was very easy to be religious in America so this happens very often now here's the problem the problem is that Hashem doesn't view this very favorably to such an extent that SCH in Proverbs 2611 says just like a dog eats his own vomit a fool goes back to his foolishness now when I first read this I immediately got it and the reason why I used to have a dog I used to have a dog now someone doesn't have a dog this doesn't make any sense to them what do you mean a dog eats their own vomit that's actually what they do even though a dog can eat garbage they can eat complete garbage sometimes they'll throw up the garbage was worse than garbage but 5 seconds later they eat their own throw up and it's brand new to them it's like uh brand new meals brand new steak that's a dog the wisest of all men says someone that does Chu and then goes back is no different than that dog why because the vomit is disgusting the only one who doesn't know it's disgusting is the dog everyone else that's watching it is disgusted you watch if I when I saw my dog old dog God bless him he died already but when I saw him even you know I saw the dog eat it was disgusting I like what's wrong with this dog I thought it was just unique to my dog I thought it was unique to my dog my dog is my dog is really strange eating his own vomit it's disgusting I would yell at him like stop eating your own is disgusting but then you find out every other dog does it all dogs do it that's what that's part of their nature everyone knows it's disgusting except the dog the problem is with our sins not only does everyone know it's disgusting even we know it's disgusting that's why we did chuva in the first place we left the sins the dirt the tum because we know it's bad we know being with someone that's not your wife or your husband is not good we know that cheating his business is not good we knew that cheating God is not good we knew that doing things against our creator is not good it's not good once you realize it you know it's disgusting once you realize what a sin really is it's obvious that it's disgusting there's no debate no one in the world thinks that a sin is good that's the problem when you go back to the sin you're worse than the dark says because here at least the dog doesn't know the vomit is disgusting but you going back to the sin you knew it was disgusting you just forgot conveniently conveniently forgot but how many times this happen to us we make the same sin over and over and over and over again the judgment is dear the judgment is much harsher than we know many people tell me all the time oh why is so harsh maybe you should talk about happier things this is Torah this is what it says no happier things this is what it says the fact that 95% of shim that are out there talk about happier things is because they're all talking about the 1% that's not relevant to most people they talk about the same 1% they all gather that 1% which is huge amount of information but nonetheless this 1% that's there that's Happy gol lucky it's ganeden is not really relevant to most people because most of them are not going to be in ganeden if they continue the way they act they're not this is why the says 60 times the size of Earth ganeden 60 times the size of Earth Gom no size why no size says it keeps getting bigger there more attendees it's not what I mean it's not my own rules I didn't create this this happy go-lucky type of lectures that make people feel good about their own sins is also not realistic anyone that lives in the real world knows it's not realistic real life is tough real life has has problems real life has obstacles real life is not easy the real part of the Torah explains to you why it tells you that even when you get suffering there's a benefit to it there's some sin that you made five years ago that Hashem gave you five years to do chuva for you didn't do it yet so he has to give you a little bit of a punishment a little slap in the face you lost $5,000 you were really supposed to lose 500,000 but you did you saved yourself $495 now but you're still going to get $5,000 worth of Damages you think it's the worst thing in the world you lost 5,000 in reality you don't realize that he just saved you 495 by delaying punishment and giving you time to do Chua you think the flat tire that made you lose the appointment that lost the $5,000 contract is the worst thing in the world in reality the original punishment was not a flat tire the original punishment was a car accident but Hashem delayed it that's real tah that's what actually happens everything all these trials and tribulations actually are written in the Torah because there's a benefit to them they're part of real life to say that if you believe positive everything positive will happen to you that's not reality look at mhu does a say that mhu went to Tahiti for vacation he had a positive life it say that abah ainu went to Bahamas to have a positive life and he was on vacation and nothing bad happened to him they say that Raba was on Pension Plan didn't have to work and was just vacationing all day sitting in front of his house on a garage all day looking at his neighbors and see what they're doing that's what people sometimes do they get so bored they sit in front of their garage all day and look at their neighbors worst I have no idea why much the worst the other day this happened to me we went to uh the um took the kids to a um uh the playground and uh wanted to park and the parking didn't have a spot so just parked on the grass someone it's not bothering anyone it's not part of anybody's grass woman comes out runs out of her her her garage hey you know they're going to tow you they're going to tow you I said okay okay I'll move the car let me just drop off the kidss at the playground and I'll come back and don't worry she was so nervous like I was doing something that's it's or something so I dropped off the kid at the grass and I tell my wife I'm like listen I wasn't planning on going back I was planning just kids are going to be in the playground for 15 minutes I'm not going to go back it's going to take me 20 minutes just to find a parking spot so I tell my wife look I'm counting the clock 10 minutes this woman comes from where she she lives starts looking for me in the streets my wife's like come on she's not going to do that I'm like why she's going to do it I'm telling you I I felt like a prophet for a moment I felt like a prophet 10 minutes later you see this woman nervous she's on the phone which she's calling the towing company she's on the phone looking for me like this my wife's like okay let me go move the car move the car but this is sometimes what people do they have nothing to do with their life their minds are completely empty their lives are completely empty they sit outside they look at other people and they cause trouble misin misin these people but this this actually happens in life this happens in life this is real life so so now this all these things happen to me I don't know I'm not you can't even make this stuff up my wife tells me you attract these unique type of uh incidents in your life so I guess it's for the lectures it has to be for the lectures this is my jokes the jokes on me so what time is it 11 okay so we about a half hour to go okay half hour to go before we take a break and then uh start the second part of the sh okay so Angels positive negative chuva can protect you so far so good so far so good now once somebody goes against theem meaning they know it's a sin they go back they started keeping Shabbat but they start violating it again anyway they start keeping kosher but then the boss ask them to eat at a non kosher place and they go eat no no it's one time God it's one time I'm only going to eat this one time the problem is is a mish written for them also someone that said say I'm going to sin and do chuva I'm going to sin and do chuva the punishment hashem's not going to let him do Chua meaning if you know it's a sin and you keep going back to it with an intention to do chuva I'm only going to eat with non kosher with my boss one time I need to get this promotion God don't you want me to donate to the bessed god like you're you're you're debating with God don't you want me to donate to the K to the K Rabbi God you save I have to eatos once isn't this you start debating Allah with God so you make a sin thinking you're going to make a Mitzvah as a result what's the punishment punishment is you get to a point where you become hated by God hated by God now where's the source you go to 139 verse again tells us something extraordinary extraordinarily scary he says for indeed those who hate you oh Hashem I hate them and I quarrel with them with those that rise against you with the utmost hatred I hate them they have become enemies unto me so DAV says as part of my love to you hem not only my fulfilling mitv but I hate your haters I hate your enemies now who are your enemies we learned learn in the book of Deuteronomy the last three verses gives the definition of who his enemies are who his haters are who are these haters he says my lovers are those that keep my mitv I paid them for a thousand Generations but my haters which is the opposite of the ones that keep my mitv I paid them cast to their face to destroy them meaning I give them whatever reward I owe them in order to elim eliminate them because they have no share of the world to come why because I hate them now we already have gone over this in the past but it's still relevant again there were some really really horrible characters in the Torah you have Nim Nimrod was named nimr because he was the first one that openly went against God Nim means mored means an enemy an enemy of God Nimrod was named Nimrod because he was enemy of God he made himself into an idol he didn't even go to Chinatown and buy an idol he actually just made himself into an idol killed many people that went against him whoever went against him he killed them was even worse not only did he make himself into an idol but he would bathe with the blood of Jewish babies every day because he hadat he had a skin disease and there's necromancy told them that the Cure is baby the blood of Jewish babies and he would bathe with them in jacuzzi every single day everything that happened in Holocaust was only a fraction of what happened in MIT it was much worse in Egypt as a matter of fact one of the books as bad as the Holocaust was obviously and you know people know it's horrible and I 100% agree but but actually if you read the midash of what actually happened during Egypt or what happened during bet mikdash the first one or the second one it's actually worse more people died horrible horrible situations so was terrible who destroyed mikdash terrible human being to such an extent he destroyed so many Jews that there was a river a river of Jewish blood from City to City a river of blood ham wanted to destroy all of different people mention the to horrible horrible characters not one time does God say I hated par I hated I hated n not once who does he say I hated he tells the prophet I love but as I hated him out of all people I hated him why I hated is worse than par what he killed millions and millions of babies millions of adults no he killed a few people but he didn't kill as many people as even a fraction of what Nim did of what did of what did he didn't okay he killed a few okay he didn't follow mitvah but why do you hate him and not not them doesn't make sense what makes sense it says asav had the opportunity to learn he knew the truth he knew what tah was he knew what mitv were his brother was sadik his father his grandfather even bigger his brother was jakov his father was and his Grand father is abrah it doesn't get better than that family he knew every day this is this is a he knew every day he knew the truth and every day he said I'm gonna do Cha tomorrow I'm going to Nets tomorrow I'm learning to all day tomorrow I'm giving tomorrow I'm eating kosher tomorrow I'm doing this tomorrow I'm doing that and every day he would lie every day he wouldn't do it and hasem says him I hated him why hate he knew the truth and he still went against it he's worse than the dog that eats his throw up the dog that eats his throw up doesn't think the throw up is anything wrong with it it's his nature but the human that eats the throw up that makes the sin again he's worse than the dog why because he knows it's disgusting and he still does it he knows it's disgusting in in the eyes of hem and he still does it that causes a person to be hated by God so all of those people that say no God loves everyone it's not true there are certain people that God hates there are certain people that God hates a lot if they do certain things that are against theem God hates them 100% this is what says so the rambam goes into details about some of this very good to read or really all of the by the it says the following the first in chapter four Chua says there are 24 Deeds which hold back chuva meaning that get in the way of your chuva 24 different things that could hurt your Chua four are the commission of severe sins God will will not Grant the person who commits such Deeds to repent because of the gravity of his transgressions meaning such a person that makes such SS Hashem will not help him do chuva he could still do chuva technically but he's on his own it's like the multi-billionaire father says listen you want to go work you want to go start a business good luck I'm not helping you though but you're a billionaire I'm not giving you a penny go Lu you're homeless you're homeless you're on your own you could technically you could succeed but you don't have a penny in your pocket you're most likely not going to succeed same concept so the ra continues this is actually what we live by this is not like a theory this is not a thought it's not an opinion there's no this is it this is as if you got it from Mount sa same thing this is what he says first one someone who causes the masses to sin this is what we talked about before this is a person that's called a mean someone that causes other people to sin tells all of his friends hey guys let's go to the beach all these people became sh Shabbat they started doing Chua he comes said guys forget cha let's go to the beach let's go to strip club let's go to the bar let's go to the Rave let's go to Solomon gamorra let's go somewhere that person's a mean let's go to the church same thing same thing you should know there's a few things that it says it's better you die not sin one of them don't ever murder somebody over your own blood why your blood's not better than his if someone says kill him or I kill you you die don't kill anybody for your own blood two second thing is don't worship an idol someone says go to a church or I kill you Die not let to go to a church even if someone is chasing you with a knife not let to go to the church not allowed you go to a Masque you can't go to a church even though probably everybody there has a knife too but now have to go to a church third option don't make any sex crimes don't make any sex crimes what does it mean don't make any sex crimes someone says listen let's go to the beach where pretty much nobody wants clothes over there die and don't go to the beach why it's it's it's considered so here someone tells like guys let's all go to the beach it's better to die than not go to that extent to that extent so someone that's a mean someone that cause other people to sin you have a serious problem rambam says hasem doesn't help him do Chua second person someone who leads his fellow man astray from the path of good to that of bad for example someone who prizes or serves as a missionary for idol worship someone that's specifically a missionary brings him to Messianic Judaism if you will like this what does it call himself shap this filth of the world this guy this guy hasm is not going to help him do cha even if he wants to do cha no chance whatsoever why he's destroying Souls on a regular basis with while he's eating it and he makes videos about it like he's a sadik that's the best part about it third someone who sees his son becoming associated with evil influences and refrains from rebuking him sees this kid becoming a little rash a little Hitler doesn't say anything no no he's going to grow out of it one day says that's a problem you have a problem with you have a problem withm why part of your mission you have to teach your kids Torah what's Torah Behavior ethics it's not justu there's a lot of parts to the Torah you can't just have your kid become a little mini Hitler and cause everyone in aesa to suffer because you don't know how to discipline him people bring their kids to besset cute kid until he opens his mouth starts causing trouble the whole day no one can pray you can't bring a kid like that to besset train him first then bring him no no he'll learn from B no he's not going to learn from B Gonna Learn home first and then you bring him I don't have to suffer because he's your kid who said I have to suffer because he's your kid people bring their kiss to think it's a mitvah it's not a Mitzvah he's ruining everybody's prayer it's 500 people in a 100 people in pray because the kid is jumping on tables it's not a Mitzvah it's not mitvah at all it's a sin you're disturbing people's uh prayers you're not doing your job so here he talks some pretty aggressive stuff we don't have that much time before the next part starts but we'll continue with this we'll go to this one yeah yeah see that's the benefit of life okay so now the rambam says what's the beauty of chuva what's the amazing part of doing chuva what's the something that's people don't really understand all of the prophets spoke about Chua you want to bring mhia you have to do chuva all the prophets talked about chuva all the prophets whether it's mosu or it's Jeremiah or it's Zacharia or Ezekiel everyone told why the Messiah depends on it in essence you want the mhia to come you have to do Chua now also talks about how We've ran out of time ran out a time and really if is doesn't do chva hem is not going to bring the mhia that's what says so Rua this is says no no no it doesn't mean that he's not going to help them what it actually means ifem if does not do cha then Hashem will bring a King who decrees harsh decrees just like ham which will force am to repent meaning either is going to do chuva from seminars and lectures or they're going to do chuva from Hitler one of the two has to happen something has to happen it's either good way or bad way but the rambam says something extraordinary about chuv he says if you actually look at the sixth Al it says CH is great for a person because it brings him close to the just like the the prophet says and many other verses in the Tor talk about how Hashem says when you bring you come close to me when you do chuva you're coming close to me but the extraordinary part that rambam says is that chuva brings a person who far removed what does far removed mean what does a uh someone that's really mean he says previously this person was hated by God so as you see this is rambam it's not my language this person was hated by God was considered disgusting far removed and an Abomination now he's considered beloved and desirable and clo and dear before Chua when he was eating his own throw up when he was eating his own sins making the same sins over and over again he was considered s Sanu means hated he was considered mukat mukat means disgusting so this is rum's language you can't blame me you PR Ram 900 years ago why he gave you everything and you're using it against him now since we don't have much time oh actually this not six this is six what is five okay now a person that reviews his sins on a regular basis is much more likely to have a real chuva stick much more likely to have a chuva that's going to last to thick and thin through the big test of course you're going to fail from time to time everybody fails no such thing as a righteous person doesn't sin even writes it it's not a no one's expecting you to become You're Still Human but to go back to your sins on a regular basis you you were you know and now you know did CH and then you're going to go back to it you wasted time and never learned to and you're GNA know you're learning and now you're going to go back to now you know to wasting your time again you did all these sins now you did chv finally you started going to and then you're GNA you know what I already did you I'm going to stop going and all of a sudden you become a sinner again you have put yourself in a worse situation than you started why worse situation you started in the beginning you didn't know before you did chuah the first time you didn't know that Hashem finds what you're doing disgusting before you did chuva you didn't know that hem finds you driving on Shabbat as a serious serious Abomination serious problem before you did chuva you didn't realize that hasem actually cares whether you eat eat kosher or don't eat kosher whether you overeat or you undereat whether you're honest with your business or just honest at home and pretend to be honest in your business you didn't know then you learned then you learn the truth when you didn't know you were in essence considered an I'm sorry a um a uh meaning that you were just somebody that was like some stolen baby that was uh thrown in the middle of the Jungle it doesn't even know he's Jewish you didn't know anything you were the same thing as a cow you didn't know anything you just thought that you're there some for somebody to milk you and if you just say moo all day you didn't know anything then you did chuva then you learned then you learned you're a Jew then you learned that being a Jew is a special responsibility it's a special thing there's a special reward for it and you still went against it that's why hasem says I hated him why he knew the truth and he still went against it he knew it his brother was doador his father was doador and his grandfather was even bigger than both of them abah and yov you can't say he didn't know everyone tells me oh my my father's a rabbi my uncle's a rabbi my great-grandfather wrote a book great they're in geden you're unless you do chv they're in just like but if you choose to be you'll be in the same place as what's say about has no share of the world to come nothing finished so the beauty of doing Chua is the chuva has a significant amount of power I told you in the beginning that if you want to be like the tanim revive people from the dead you actually have the ability to do it now obviously it's not the same way as the tanim where they just pray and somebody goes back to life but one of the benefits of doing what we do and helping people do chv is one of the benefit of helping people do chuva is you see you get to see real life miracles on a daily basis so most people thought that you know when we first started talking about the whole problem with wigs having a source of aod in India and all of that stuff I thought it was like my opinion like I care like I have some hat store or something like I'm going to make a fortune out of selling people hats but eventually people started listening and started seeing this is a serious problem and some of from Israel got involved confirmed everything we said already a year and a half ago and put a new says that you can't trust any wig out there that's made from real hair because you can't confirm whether it is or it isn't from India and even if there's one hair from the wig that's from India the entire wig is asso because you can't identify the hair therefore the whole wig is you can't use wigs technically you weren't able to use wigs anyway because of modesty issues but even if you use the five po scheme that says that wigs are allowed those same five did not say that aazar is allowed no one no one says AAR is allowed or to benefit from is allowed so just recent they give you recent Miracles recent stuff that happened a couple of a couple of religious people saw theim and uh they contacted me they asked me some questions about the wigs and so on one of them told me listen this is maybe I don't know two weeks ago says listen I want to tell you a real life story because I know that this is something that you may want to tell people I said okay what he goes I decide to listen to what you say and I decided to take off my wig she''s been wearing a wig a whole you know whole life whole married life years it's not like something she just started last week and she wasn't used to it all life she's wearing a wig says we've been looking for a house for five years five years we've been looking for a house the day I decided to throw my wig out in the garbage we got a call we found a house five years I'm looking for a house the day I threw it out I'm looking we're we're closing now she says we're in the closing now 5 years found the house okay to some people that it's a coincidence coincidence so another woman calls she actually she sends me a letter and she says listen I decided to take off my wig and I've been praying for something for a very long time and it never happened but then I decided to throw me a wig I just decided you know what it's time to do chuva I know it's true it's not I can't used this wig inside I knew what you're saying is real even before you said it but once you said it that was it that was the nail in the coffin it was just really a matter of me overcoming my desires because the wig looks good it's long it's pretty looks it's done all the time who doesn't want to wear wig I decided to throw it out something I've been praying for years to happen happened she had some huge test that uh she failed for times it's a big test I don't know for law or for medicine or something big like that she just couldn't pass it she said you know what I'm going to go take the test but instead of taking it with a wig I'm GNA take it with a hat on and from now on I'm G throw I'm throw the wig away and I'm going to uh just wear this hat or this from now on said I passed the test again to someone who doesn't want to believe or someone that's looking for excuses all this stuff sounds like meaningless nonsense so the third one is the best one third one is someone says I was I was married for five years five years married what do you do when you get married try to have kids that's technically the point of being married otherwise it's just a roommate even SAR men who says hm if you don't give me a kid I might as well be dead a woman that can't have kids it's a punishment so this woman was married for 5 years five years no kids doctors say it's not possible for you to have kids not possible you kids not possible not possible decide to do what we say give him some advice follow do keep Basics day of she got pregnant there's a kid alive and well healthy and everything is good this is the type of stuff that I see every day it's not me has nothing to do with me just listen to Hashem the beauty is that Torah has the ability to save lives sometimes you see people you see many stories popular stories where you see people that are in danger they've had a major surgery they're sick Shalom they have cancer they have some major disease doctor tells them they have a week to live two weeks to live all these doctors you know have no no care in the world about people's emotions they tell me you have a week you have six days you have 6 and 1 half hours they tell you like as if if they own the world but times of fear usually cause people to do major things Fidel Volunteers in the hospice center he says everybody's religious in a hospice center everyone's religious even the atheist is religious the guy that was atheist his whole life he's religious in the hospice center he knows about to meet the maker he didn't believe in his whole life so sometimes people get smart and they make the right decision and they say Okay God I got the point I got the point I'll do chuva and all of a sudden the cancer disappears all of a sudden the disease that they had disappears this is not one or two or three or four or 10 or 50 or 100 stories there's many many documented stories of real people sometimes on video sometimes in books sometimes in papers sometimes in medical records different things that are completely unexplainable based on science but are 100% explainable based on toah when you do aem's will he'll do your will meaning that if he needs to change nature for you it's not a big deal for him he is nature that's why the word God in Hebrew one of them is Elohim and the nature have the same numerical value it's one of the hints there is no nature being a separate entity he is nature so for him to change something it's the same thing as you breathing under normal circumstances the same thing you don't have to try to breathe you just breathe so if you want to revive the dead just do what Hashem says you want to perform Miracles start with yourself you want major things to happen in your life start taking serious Chua not just like the half chuva we just keep Shabbat keep kosher because it's convenient for you and it's tasty but the stuff that's hard for you that's what you have to do it's hard for you to be modest that's what you have to do it's hard for you to learn toah an hour or two hours in the morning an hour two hours at night that's what you have to do it's hard for you to pray every day in the morning that's what you have to do why he says call he says all of my mitv not some of them that you like anywhere in the Torah that says myv doesn't say some of my mitv that you like it always says call all the don't start making exceptions all my mitv once you start listening to what ROV says he says listen you have two options here you do good you create a good Angel you do bad you create a bad Angel if you actually visualize what he says on a regular basis you take this into serious consideration on a regular basis it's much easier to do what hashm wants why you become scared to become scared to make these bad Angels you become scared to become one of these bad characters that the rambam says God hates you he becomes who wants to be hated by God even the one that hates God doesn't want God to hate him back no one want to be hated by God but at the same token you can't just sit there doing nothing and expecting POS positive things to happen we'll finish with this and then we'll take a small break and then start the second part of this year in the back there's a serious M I learned from rinaman one time they wanted to uh help him travel to go give some sh and to to the public overseas and he never went already a 90 years old 90 something years old now he's over 100 but at 90 years old he never traveled on a plane or anything so for the first time in his life he's on a plane at 90 years old 90 92 something like that and um he goes through the machine and it beeps beeps 90y old man where is he carrying a uh machine gun what is he carrying what is he going to do it's the airport especially Israeli airport they think everyone's a terrorist so he takes off the jacket he takes off this he takes off this goes through again again takes off the belt takes off the shoes takes off this goes again be this very embarrassing 90-year-old man keeps beeping what are you going to do you have to go through the process keeps taking off more and more clothes more and more things eventually he realizes oh I have a piece of metal in my leg from 70 years ago I had a surgery and I forgot about it they had to I broke something that to put a piece of metal a screw of some kind and then he realized this what what it was but then he started crying and the students asked them why you crying you passed already they know it's okay goes no no you don't understand 70 years ago I had a surgery to put a piece of metal in my body and I forgot about it imagine when we arrive in shamim and they show us all the screws and the screw UPS we made that we forgot about and we're expecting to be judged like m we're going up to sh expecting no less we're expecting G it's mine I'll give you guys some room we're expect we forgot all the aot from 70 years ago he goes if I forgot something that's inside my body that I needed to walk it was in his leg apparently imagine how they're going to show me in sham what I also forgot about don't be one of those people that's hated and you forgot CH it's not so hard it's not so far from you it's not easy but it's not so hard especially when you start realizing that as you do more and more chv as you get closer and closer to hem you learn more and more T you become a better version of you you're a three you could become a 10 but takes time take takes effort but as you get better you start enjoying the Chua in the beginning it's hard let not joke ourselves it's hard to change your behavior it's it's hard to change your activities it's hard to change your hobbies it's hard to change your friends it's hard to change a lot of things but once you start seeing a little bit of benefit in it then you enjoy then all of a sudden the fact that you're walking around modest you start realizing hey you know what it's actually classier to be a modest woman when people look at me they look at me with respect they don't look at me like a piece of meat in a supermarket when I spend my time learning toah I actually improve my mind that I could take something with that I could take something from that and use it at work use it at home use it at different places when I watch shows for five hours nothing happens I watch the show I enjoy the show the end of the show I can't do anything about it it's the end of the show I can't use anything can't use it for any any advantage whatsoever so you start realizing that hashem's will is really your will you just got to get over that angel that you created that's trying to influence you to do bad things so now we'll take a little short break anyone that needs to do do anyone wants to eat eat and and then we're going to set up in the back and we're going to learn all night and uh but something completely different and questions answers and whatever else wants us to say we're going to try to learn some serious throughout the night whether it be questions and answers that you have if you run out of questions or I run out of answers then we'll ask the people online to give me some easier questions because you guys look tough uh also we'll go over it's customary not an obligation but it's customary to go over uh on this in essence is the fifth book of the Torah but really it was M's Journal it wasn't originally meant to be a part of the Torah but hasem decided that mosu should make it the fifth book of the Torah obviously was he wrote it all withes uh and prophecy and that's where we see so many prophecies that have come true uh in uh in the fifth book of the Torah but uh in my perspective and I think anyone that really understands what SE talks about what the book of Deuteronomy talks about in my opinion it's the number one always was and always will be number one M book in history and the reason why is because you can't read it and understand what it says and not change your life m is you know it has to do with ethics has to do with behavior you can't stay the same person after you read it and understand it if you read it and you didn't change that's because you didn't understand one word you read so how can you get your point to the point of really understanding it now of course there's the literal translation but the Torah is not supposed to be read literally there's more to it there's more behind the scenes like even from which is a part of the oral tah we learned just the basic the basic meaning of the oral Tora is good but the deeper meaning what we say for two three hours is uh is something we get from commentary from K from from so on and so forth even more so with the five books of Moses with and the rest of of the T the commentary by Rashi by ramban by banel by some of the am Shades throughout history is what uh really gives us color of what Hashem really means CU some things the literal translation can confuse you to such an extent that you think the opposite of what d t is what the opinion of the Torah is you can't read a Torah literally you have to read it that's what a lot good luck uh that's what many Christians do that's what many people that uh are looking for excuses not to follow the T that's what they do they read the Torah literally and they mistranslate the Tor sometimes intentionally sometimes ignorantly they mistranslate the Torah uh and uh it's it's really a shame because the Torah is so beautiful and so extraordinary that doesn't make sense to misuse it like that so we can start with questions we could thr we could throw whatever you want if anyone online is going to have some questions we'll go over them as well we'll try to everyone so anyone actually that has a phone and has a battery at some point I'm going to ask you to check the online for the questions because I can't record and check the questions at the same time from the same screen so you don't have to check it now but if you guys have questions I'll answer your questions first and also eat drink enjoy um ASM will succeed so we have a lot of time on our hands oh you have your phone uh we have a lot of time on our hands so but we have to use that time because if we're just going to waste time we're just going to eat and sleep might as well go home and sleep we have to we have to seriously learn toah in order to look like Angels before hasem at this final Judgment Day so who wants to start with some questions question qu turkey without any to say okay going okay uh I'll give you a response once somebody gives me something to drink uh but uh okay the uh Sprite the orange or whatever whatever whatever is closer to you whatever is cold actually C cold nothing's cold warm put on the water is cold actually the water is cold oh okay so first question is can someone give themselves andest that's the question really by quitting their job and saying I'm going to go learn Torah all day or I'm going to sit there and do nothing all day okay so this is the This Is The Answer someone came Shalom and he asked the same question he said in the lecture today oh wow is here is here the hoca the Holocaust Survivor is here to learn with us 24 hours hold on a second this deserves a break for a second wow huh I give can how are you this is Fe this is oh my name is your own yes in here in here okay so you want to hold this okay okay let head we could actually okay put it over here one second let me put this somewhere wow wow learning learning to all night you here is going to be extra good going to be good now you're going to be here so give him also give I'll give him my drink and I'll give him also give me another one water okay see this the benefits of life benefits of Life how are you Dy this one Cann stay here this you need another chair to put this on this is for this is hision okay he has this I think this one going to stay there why you get there okay you come sit down you can put it another chair and uh okay put the uh I'll put the thog in the uh next to the love nothing okay that's let's put it over there this is his book wow this is your phone he's phone phone okay over here sit over here or no no I'm not going to stay oh you want to he's going to okay so can can can I want to show it to the camera to the people show the book Water want some water okay have a seat have a seat water [Music] so anyone who doesn't know Mr G this is his book this is his book is 94 years old so at least another 26 27 30 100 years at least but he's a uh 94y old Holocaust Survivor and this is his book about his experience about his life and he came to our sh for the first time last week um and it was a big surprise there a big surprise it sure sitting on the chair so he's uh extraordinary experience I got to sit down with him last week a little bit after the uh the next day after the sh and uh I haven't read the book yet but I I heard from him a little bit about his life it's an amazing amazing life amazing experience and uh one thing everyone should do here before you leave is get a blessing so M it's our honor cuz we talk about different things that are real and hard to listen to sometimes hard to say about the hust and uh last week was again we mentioned some things and he was in the crowd he was with us learning with us and uh everything he says everything is true it's not a uh as hard as it is to to hear sometimes when people ask where was God during the Holocaust he was there he was there he was doing it why because that's what he said in the Tor actually in in the book we're going to read tonight one of the things he says in is that if we sin against him eventually he's going to send us an enemy and the enemy that he describes in there is really identical to the enemy of the Nazi Germany so many of the secrets parts of the Torah Torah codes talk about uh talk about different things one of them actually in regards to the codes the secrets about Nazi Germany come from seph from this book so uh he's here learning with us it's really amazing but we could really learn more from him so let me change let me turn the camera around oh k k okay mhone on you thank you bye thank you so if you have questions course I live through it you read about it but I live through it and you might have questions and I'm here to answer those questions Okay so that again question is big question I always had is how did you have the mental strength physical strength is different but mental strength to overcome all the big test the Holocaust the torture the disaster people dying everywhere I mean it's a it's a it's a nightmare just to think about I can't imagine living to it how do you survive mentally I was not exposed to that oh cuz my parents sent me to England and in England I first one family and then another family and many families from one family to another family to another family and finally I wound up in chest in SES and along the river d and uh yeah a very bad thing happened to me my parents before I left they gave me 90 pounds it's a lot of money in those days a lot of money and all of a sudden get on the bus oh front row feed up right you know what the H the buses look like in England right we got off the bus and to see a movie so I want to go for my bullet with a 90 the 90 PS are gone oh see when I put my feet up on the rail in the front right it must have fallen out that was my bad bad experience in England as you can imagine you lose all the fortune that you have and all of a sudden it doesn't there anymore how would you feel how' you survive work we walked home we up to so that's the way it and then we from day to day you know you you're try and make it you walk to school you were back from school and U you survive what can I tell you but War was everywhere war war bombs attacks soldiers everything was everywhere everywhere so how did you I mean survive as far as like the uh regular life everyday life became dangerous for everyone even if you weren't in the concentration camps still life was dangerous no it was not what do you call it a good thing let's put it that way it wasn't a good thing to live through this days and I remember one thing when same declared that England would declare war if the Germans invaded Poland but the Germans Poland we were in a state of war and all of a sudden declared war that means there is war and you hear the ples overhead well it couldn't be it couldn't be because the ples from Germany to come to chesta in that time period could not could not have you know so what can I tell you what can I tell you so say so when it comes to that time were people really religious anti-religious similar to today well let me tell you uh funny think there was all of a sudden from somewhere I don't know we don't to this day we don't know where the guy came from but was a Jewish man and he asked all the Jewish children at a certain time to go and come to the church oh and we went there and he told him he's not a Christian he's Jewish he would like us to come on shabas you would like to come us you know to be there and we didn't have a sa for Tora anything like that he read from what do you call it Bible from the Bible yeah and that's how we Sur this you ah it's very interesting that if if I look at it today you know it's funny if I talk about it um what happened was that the land lady with whom we lived she she prepared rabbit pie okay for us told me to take it out of okay yeah take yeah yeah f so you are in a Strange Land and we didn't we were not perfect in our image you we we were put into one big and that's how we what you call it the first first days how how how we survive you know w wow well then the next day the son of the people who we stayed with took us to school they introduced us to the principal and uh very interesting we each separately told our story who we were we were Jews who were s to wind up here and we had to try and make the best of it it wasn't easy I mean to go to school and come home and served rabbit pie you know you know for for a Jewish guy like myself and my friend you know it was very very difficult time yeah when did you write the book when did I write the book recent or years ago what oh 2010 okay it's only years old so that's the uh Journey from ESS that's where you lived is I defitely the book read the book when we talk about survivors I am a survivor I a Survivor I'm a Survivor and the book at us out how went to school in the morning and I remember my mother told us they had the long stockings and she told us not to not to put them down to keep them up because it's cold outside you know like mother and as soon as we were on the corner we you no the M any the book is interesting in one part I had a fight with the son who was this son of a he was a son of a important Nazi we had a fight we had a fight and I remember my grandma she to be and they were after the Jew you know they came running after the Jew and I I was running they had a they were on bicycles they were on bicycles but you know at a c point I stopped I folded my arms like that and I said so who wants to be the first one to start with me know and the first one to start with me was a guy by the name of K having been trained by her anybody know what a was no a that was like Babi like like like maab and what go it they trained us pretty pretty good in the facility which was built with American money amican American money built a facility big big big here facility and we went pretty good on the horse on the rings on everything you know what I mean you surviv different uh so we were we were in pretty good shape soot similar but a lot of them so different I'm sure I'm sure some of the things we're going to see in the you're going to connect it also to the Holocaust and different things that are happening today um it's not easy to think about the Holocaust but at the same token it's very important to know that it happened that it's real that it could happen again Shalom but it's a reality this is what I want to say when we sit around here each of us should remember it can happen again and it can Happ me here yeah very easy that's the reality that's the reality many people don't think that they can H me here and you say why wouldn't it take me here how could it take me here but it could in America in America yeah Germany was a uh like America in its day before before the Holocaust Germany was like America Jews were at the top politicians businessmen yeah very successful very rich and eventually Hashem decided to change things and all of a sudden the uh the rest of them became enemies our friends became enemies just like hasem says in the Tora we'll turn our friends into enemies that's part of the punishment so the uh amazing for me to uh to meet uh Mr Mii is the fact that everything we talk about how you know when we talk about the Holocaust and how hasem told us that it's a possibility that it could happen he prophesized it um it's hard for people to talk about it but most people that are offended by some of the truth that the Torah says about the Holocaust and different things didn't go through the Holocaust they're offended because somebody they know was through the Holocaust here we have somebody that was alive at that moment that went through difficulty at that moment and there's nothing offensive about what we say because he know it's all true so this is one of the things that's important to learn in tonight and and throughout the whole year is that like he said the Holocaust is not just something that happened it's something that can happen again and the one that decides whether it happens again or or not is a and the decision is based on what we do our actions will will determine what he decides how he responds a cause and there an effect we do something he reacts if we do good he gives us good we do bad he gives us bad that's as simple as it gets so we're going to talk a little bit more about it we'll talk about some other questions maybe some people can to have some questions for you later on but we'll go over a little bit into any anything else you want to add okay if you have questions of me say we'll uh we'll turn it a little bit and then probably turn it back and forth a few times we can hear me so see next time we get professional we get two mics three mics four mics right can I put the microphone microphone microph I put it over there you didn't notice so they can hear you so they can hear you uh okay so starts the following and then I'll go over some questions if you guys have any questions along the way it says book of the garbage fine you can move it out of the way but it's fine as long as it doesn't smell bad okay it's fine as long as it doesn't smell it's fine these are the words that spoke to all of Israel on the other side of the Jordan concerning the Wilderness concerning Thea opposite the Sea of reeds between pan and toel and laan Ander and so these are different places that has uh has um passed through but why does it say these are the words that said to to now originally seph as I said before was part of the oral Torah originally the book of Deuteronomy was part of the oral Torah was in essence the journal for mosenu similar similar but not the same but similar to the book of creation that was written byuu there's a book that he had uh that we don't have the whole contents of it today some people make believe like we do but we don't we have you know Parts small parts of it uh but it had it's very high level cabala book um where uh one of the secrets that we learned from there uh that confirms for example that non-jews are not allowed to keep Shabbat this is one of the things we know non-jews are not allowed to keep the whole T they're allowed to keep certain that are relevant to them but for example there are certain mitv like Shabbat that non-jews are not allowed to keep now they could relax they can not work they could have a party they could do whatever they want but they can't refrain from doing the 39 restrictions that am is not allowed to do on Shabbat on purpose if they just happen not to drive it's fine if they happen not to turn on or off the electricity it's fine if they happen not to cook it's fine but to not cook intentionally or to not light fire intentionally they're not allowed to do so one of the uh secret or mystical parts of the Torah that we learn that from is that we learn it from from from the book of where it says well technically abrah ainu and ainu were not considered Jews they were considered noahides because we didn't have the full Torah yet at that time we only got the Torah in Mount saai and Judaism technically began in Mount saai so the question is how is it that kazal says the sages say that abah and yob kept all of the mitv even before we got the Torah because if they kept all of the Mitzvah that means they kept Shabbat and if they're not allowed to keep Shabbat how are they violating the Tor and keeping the Tor at the same time so the book of creation actually says that Abraham would break Shabbat by using this book this book of creation to create a cow he would create a cow and you're not allowed to create on Shabbat he would create a cow on Shabbat that's how he would break Shabbat so just like for example if someone is going to conversion and they're going to a conversion say during the conversion they're not allowed to keep Shabbat 100% or all of the 100% they're supposed to keep it 99% so keep Shabbat 99% but turn on the light or turn off the light once just to intentionally break Shabbat until the last stage of conversion which is let's say once you have a date for when you're going to convert then you the bed says from now on keep Shabbat 100% just like a Jew but until that moment you keep it 99% you have to break it because if you keep it 100% you're not allowed in sh you could it's a it's a death penalty it's a Heavenly death penalty it's not joke so Abu would break Shabbat by creating a c now some people say oh that was AB ainu that's uh that's where it started that's where it ends not true there was a in thear by the name of abay and Raa abay and Raa mentioned throughout the entire more than anyone else one day they get together and they have the book of they have book they said let's create something what do they do they create a cow they create a cow so these powers are still in the world the fact that we don't know how to use it and so on is a different story but the SE was part of the oral Tor the book of Deuteronomy was originally also supposed to be a part of the oral Tora because it was technically M's perspective of what happened what happened from the beginning to the end in his perspective but hasem says that since he wrote everything through prophecy Andes then he wanted it to be the fifth book of the Torah so when it says here we learn that these specific things is referring to Torah and these specific things is talking to not only to of that time but of today so no one can say oh it's only relevant from 3,300 years ago it's today just like Mr Mii say just Holocaust happened 70 years ago it could happen today also don't think that it just happened it's far it's in the past no no no everything that happened can happen again there's nothing new Under the Sun so the key is to understand that mosu when he's writing in this Torah is referring to you and me not just to Aon and Yeshua and bet and all the people that lived in this time no he's talking to you and me now the scary part that we learned recently is that the U kazal says at different times during the year that we have oblig obligatory fast where we're obligated to fast and there's different times where we should fast like a rabinal fast but we don't have to but a rabinal fast like for example obligatory fast like yum or you have to fast but a rabinal fast it's more leniency in is like for example the fast of EST right before P but there is another fast we fast during alul during the 17th of Al we fast one of the reasons we fast on that day is because if you close that door better better uh one of the reasons why we fast kazal explains and RAB car explains is because that's the day that the died now says technically it should be a celebration while we fasting these they went they were originally leaders of each one of the tribes they went 10 of them with bet uh uh and yes I look at bet so I keep thinking they went with and yeshu to is and they came back saying and hasem punished the whole nation and we ended up being in the desert for 40 years and so on and so forth so they so when they died it should be a celebration for us why they caused us all to suffer in the desert for 40 years so RF car asks why do we have to fast on the day they they died should be a celebration it's a very serious question why do we we have fasting for no reason well we're bored we want to eat want to drink why are we fasting why are we fasting because the mid explains that once they said their punishment from sh was a very serious serious punishment the horrible punishment the explained that their punishment of the uh that sin that said was that their tongues came out and it stretched and reached their uh and connected to their uh belly button worms were coming out of it it was a horrible awful slow death so when someone's tongue stretches out of their mouth and connects to their belly button they dying a slow death at some point they do chuva at some point they're doing chba they I made a mistake especially since these people were religious it's not like these people were atheists these were the these people were the Giants it's not like regular people these were the rabbis okay they made a mistake they said about fine now you punish them now they're doing but the says we fast on the day they die and the reason why is because because despite the fact that they did Chu hasem did not accept it that's why we fast we don't fast for them we fast for us Shalom we become such that hasm doesn't accept our cha it's a very scary K so is telling you this is a m book this I'm going to tell you rules I'm going to tell you laws I'm going to tell you what God wants from you and but not wants it like hey you know what can you do me a favor and you give me a ride oh no it's okay don't worry about it no no my friend rules meaning you have to do it whether you like it or not you have to do it whether you understand it or not you have to do it no excuses you have to do it without questions without questions you can ask questions to understand the meaning of the mitvah if you want but whether you understand the answer or not irrelevant you still have to do it so M starts these things I'm telling all of you these are the things what things everything that's written in the entire book of Deuteronomy so that's already an introduction to the book just the first few words we already learned some serious in page 31b says that when mosenu died when Hashem took back his n Hashem cried Hashem took M's and then he cried why did he cry he says who's going to rebuke my people as good as mosenu who's going to give it to them on their head to get them to do chuva like mosenu Care Bear rabbis they always existed they existed back then they exist now people that lie existed back then they exist now korak used to be sadik until he became a rash he was sadik and then he became rash and would until they became many people would until they became they don't just they're not just born the carebear rabbis that Li to people today they used to beim when they were in Yesa they were tadim when they were learning in the beginning when they started the eventually something happened and they started lying to people usually that test is money usually when no one when a person doesn't have any money they're honest they're truthful they're good they're nice as soon as you put money in front of them so says there's no better M teacher than mosu and this is what he says obviously to it continues so in uh chapter 1 verse 5 says says on the other side of the Jordan in the land of Mo mhe began explaining this Torah saying and he started talking about all the laws now asked why does it say this Torah why does it say the Torah why is say this specific Torah this one explains to show to you that this Torah that you're reading is the same one that M was explaining 3,300 years ago nothing changed this Torah you're pointing out you're reading this P same thing nothing changed in 3,300 years nothing changed no words no nothing nothing changed it's not like Christianity where in the last 2,000 years they have pretty much written over 200,000 versions of the New Testament the current most popular version is the King James version the problem is that even the King James version has more mistakes than probably the rest of them including putting putting cartoon characters in the book like the Unicorn a unicorn is not a real animal it's a fictional mythical animal they created for cartoons but they put that as a as the translation for the word the Hebrew word is like a um is a combination of a giant Bull and deer that lived in ancient times uh and since they translated the Hebrew to English they mistranslated since they don't actually know Hebrew and they translated the word raim nine times in the Tanakh in what they call the Bible uh to the word unicorn and unicorn like I said it's a cartoon character it's not it's not it's a mythical character never actually existed it's a horse with wings and a horn it's not a real character so their book changed 200,000 times so far I'm sure that in a few years going to change 300,000 times the Quran changed no less than 9,000 times there's over 9,000 different versions of the Quran 9,000 different versions Tor one version there is a uh um a disagreement about the spelling of five words in the entire T which is one letter difference so instead of a Al there's a he or instead of a he there's Alf or something like that between the yemenites and the ashkanazi and Saars everyone knows that yemenites are actually right but since we already have each one has their own belief that the SP the AL instead of a hey we're too scared to change the rules but the AL of the he don't change the meaning of the word or the meaning of the sentence nothing changes it's just disagreement of whether to use let's say as an analogy whether to spell uh you know with a e or without an e or to spell with a silent k or without a silent k like for example you know the word uh knife knife is with a K in reality it's a useless letter but in English they like to use useless stuff so they put a K in there because there's nothing to do with the k said throw the K on the knife in reality you could just take away the K and it' be better actually it's be easier to read knife so same but but the fact that there's a k or there isn't a k nothing changes same thing with these letters but still the same exact Tor that we had 3,300 years ago like mosu is telling us here uh then it says you are like today in uh verse uh 9 so before he starts rebuking the People starts giving them serious M you went against God you did this golden calf complain about the Mana complain about this complain about that before he gives them all the m and gives it to them on their head because really in reality they complain non-stop he tells them listen look how much good hasem gave you she starts soft with them he starts with them soft and he says look Hashem your God has multiplied you and behold you are today like the stars of Heaven in abundance why why does he mention this specifically why does he say you're a large amount of people there's 50 million of you there's 500 million of you there's three million of you whatever why don't you just say listen there's a lot of you why does he specifically say you have multiple lied greatly like the stars of Heaven why if you remember in in Genesis promises and he says your children are going to your descendants are going to be like the stars of heaven or like the Sea of the like the sand of the sea so mosenu is REM finding is right off the bat look you're great in number like this like the like the stars meaning that when hasem makes a promise he delivers he keeps his promise he's not like a politician where when they're running for election they promised the world once they got the job they don't do anything here he says look Hashem promised abrah ainu he doesn't have to keep his promise he makes the rules he doesn't have to keep his promise he get I promised him I don't feel like keeping it I don't feel like doing it yeah I promised them he's going to be there I don't feel like doing it if you say anything I'll destroy you what are you going to do about it complain about me Father complain what are you going to do hasem says no my Torah is rules for me also I make a promise I have to keep it so he made a promise to make us great like the heaven like the uh stars in heaven that's what happened why cuz we did his will but why is he mentioning it to them now and not later on says because he's about to give them some M he's about to rebuke them about all the mistakes they made he says just like he delivered on the good when we did his will when we did his will he gave us reward and he we multiplied but when we went against him he's also going to punish this why cuz he also promised that he also promised that by the way there's a bunch of food there so you could take a pasta and a bunch of things that's warm so you guys could all bring it eat whatever you want but in case they're hungry let them eat just keep them uh keep them alert and up so okay so far any questions could be a different question have to be question about it's about what you said earlier about the the rabbis like they were good okay and after kind of Gott kind of their own Direction yeah so um one of the I was uh listening to a lecture it said like when if those people were like a so from before and when they die and they go up to Sham for their judgment like if they coming back like to fix something when they I heard they said hasem show them like two ways whether if you speak this way that's what's going to happen and if you put this way that's what going happen so if they chose this way they they see like every single going to happen Ken so so here here's the here's the big thing uh actually somebody asked a question before when you uh right before you came in about um test but uh anyway the uh one of the main things that uh kazal says is going to happen at the end of times when the mashia comes the first level of punishment for the is that Hashem is going to show them the reward of theim he's gonna show them how the sikim are going to benefit and what they're not going to get and how they could have actually gotten it so to see to fail in something is terrible but to see your enemy succeed is even worse sometimes so in sh it's even more so because they show show you in sh a movie of your entire life what you did what you didn't do what what was good what was bad and so on and so forth but at the same token they show you the consequence of your actions the consequence of your actions so for example many women think that it's okay for them to dress however they want and if a guy looks at her and starts thinking sexual thoughts because she's dressed immodesty it's his problem not her problem there was recently someone told me I don't watch TV but someone told me uh today or yesterday there was some debate on TV on some I know nonsensical show they have where the women were debating because one of them went to church and she went dressed like she dresses to the show which is immodest not covering herself not covering our arms not covering our legs and so on so she went to church like this you should be even more modest to a synagogue but nonetheless she went to a church like this and someone at the church told her listen really you should watch yourself how you come to church you should look more modest because maybe one of the guys one of the men is going to look at you and he's going to think sexual thoughts going to make a sin the real religious Christians even though they're Idol worshippers in reality they still know the basics so she was talking about it in the show she says how what do I care about what guy some guy thinks it's not my problem what some guy thinks in reality everyone knows the truth the GU the Jews the secular the religious the uh ones that believe don't believe everyone knows the truth everyone knows that immodesty really only started in the last 100 years before that Jews and non-jews were always modest there's no such thing as immodesty even the prostit ites were modest people knew there were prostitutes for different reasons but they were still modest they still covered themselves they didn't walk around naked like people today so now a woman today says listen I'll dress however I want it's not my problem how a guy sees me and he imagines it's his problem it's not true it's not true at all and the reason why is because if you dress a certain way you're not dressing a certain way because it's hot you're not dressing with a mini skirt and uh no sleeves because it's hot because you're still dressing that way during the winter when it's not hot and you're complaining all night that you're cold but you still won't put anything on because you still want to show everybody your body so you're dressing like that specifically because you're trying to get sexual attention that's the only reason to be modest no one dresses like that because they're hot because the reality of it is that everyone was hotter for the last 6,000 years than we are today have air conditioners and they wore more clothes they didn't complain about being hot this whole hot thing is nonsense no one's hot everyone has excuses the second thing is is that when it comes down to oh it's some it's a guy's problem if he looks at me and he thinks about something it's his problem that's not true either and the reason why is because everyone knows that when you go to a certain place you have to respect the place so for example in America they have a rule if you go into a courtroom a civil courtroom you have to take off your hat now even though your hat his hat his hat doesn't bother anybody nothing changeed no one's going to say you're guilty or you're innocent because you're wearing a hat no one's going to say you're smarter you're stupider because you're wearing a hat but you still know by default you go into the courtroom you take off the hat why that's the rule of the courtroom and if they let one person violate the rule you are affecting other people therefore they'll punish you for it or you have to take off the hat so you obey that rule because you know it's affecting other people the same thing is traffic you no one likes traffic laws no one likes to drive the speed limit everyone wants to drive faster or slower or do make their own rules but you follow the rules or at least you supposed to and you definitely do when the cops around why because you know that if you drive faster than you're allowed and you break the rules you are affecting other drivers you could get other drivers to get a car accident and so on and so forth so the fact that your actions affect the public you already know it you live like it the only time you start caring is when it has to do with Hashem when it has to do with Hashem and all of a sudden you don't want to be modest why because not being modest is something that you want to do wants to do but hem doesn't want you to do so now the same goes with different leaders whether it be religious leaders as rabbis or different types of teachers and so on where they started off good and ended up going off Hashem is going to show them what was the outcome of their actions so IM woman that says oh I don't care what do I care if somebody looks at me in sh they show her look you walked around in the street with your mini skirt you walked around in the street with your tank top you walked around not covering yourself or you walked around with extra tight clothes or so on and so forth you caused 50 men to sin to look at you and think about you at inappropriate times because they saw you they didn't talk to you they don't know you they don't know your name but your image is implanted is tattooed in their mind it's tattooed to their soul the only time you think about imod women is in most inappropriate times usually it's when you pray to Hashem or you're with your own wife that's usually when you think about other women you don't think about other women when you're working you don't think about other women when you're talking about baseball you don't think about other women when you're just hanging out eating lunch don't think about other women think about lunch the steak is more interesting to you than what you saw when you think about the inappropriate woman when you're either in front of Hashem or you're in front of your wife right in the worst possible time that's when the Satan comes so that woman that dressed immodestly she just became the that became tattooed in your mind to be there so every time you thought about it you sinned and you could potentially make even more sins why because you thought about it and then you acted on it you could act on it in two different ways in a negative way one you can waste seed which we done extensive lectures about the significance of the sin of wasting seed how it's considered murder in the Torah how it's a one of the things that hem says is dis disgusting even for the go to do and so on and so forth you're not allowed to waste seed and usually what do people waste seed on they waste seed on based on pictures and movies people were crying that some uh uh guy U Hefner died recently in reality was a uh one of the worst people on Earth according to Hashem he created more wasting seed than probably any human being in in history so could have been a nice guy as far as you know meet him as a nice guy but as far as Hashem is concerned he's an enemy of Hashem that's just the reality there's God and then there's everything else so one option is to waste seed horrible sin very very difficult nearly impossible to fix nearly impossible possible but nearly impossible to fix the way to truly fix wasting seed is a combination of learning a lot of ser I from and also causing other people to stop sinning by bringing him to lectures to talk about wasting seed giving him CDs sending him lectures to get other people to stop the same sin that you used to make wasting seed by the way is the number one way to ruin your P you want to go broke waste seed doesn't matter if you have 10 million 20 million 100 million if you continuously waste seed you will go broke eventually and even though some people that are the worst people like this horrible person that's uh in the news now uh unfortunately sounds like a Jewish name this Weinstein guy that had it seems like he had uh a new prostitute show up at his door every five minutes um people like that Hashem punishes them in multiple ways we learned in the mishna in a couple of a few weeks ago that of course one of the ways to go broke but another way is that what he when you do when you desecrate the name of hem in secret when hem finally punishes you he punishes you in public so you went in prostitutes and wasted seed in private right you thought no one's going to know now everyone knows measure for measure measure for measure that's the way hm runs the world this is a in secret is the same thing as in public so when Hashem punishes the one that sinned in private he's going to punish him in in public this is we learned I think in a mishna three four weeks ago so first thing that an IM modest woman can lead a person to think about her at that time waste seed that's a horrible thing she becomes a partner to that crime a partner to that crime she's a partner to murdering millions and millions of to come out as the seed the second thing that a person can do it's not as bad but it's still terrible is that a person can that's let's say married he could decide that he's thinking about some woman that's not his wife CU he saw a week ago a month ago a year ago whatever it is or in a magazine or in a movie and he decides that you know what I'm hot let me be with my wife now I'm a lot of psychi psychologist psychiatrists recommend couples that have difficulties with schom to watch pornography that's what they said this is one of the worst things you can possibly do why the gar says that if a man is thinking about another woman in his dream he went to he dreaming he's not like on purpose he went to dream you're not responsible for your dreams well at least that's what we think you went to dream you went to sleep you're dreaming you're dreaming about some woman and he woke up and he's hot he wants to be with his wife is right next to him the book of laws of Tora says he's not allowed to touch his wife he's not allowed to touch his wife until he's completely cool and has no sexual desire whatsoever and has to start all over again only with pure thought on his wife why because thear says in if he fulfills intimacy if he's intimate with his wife at a time he's thinking about another woman there's a sa meaning there's a doubt if the baby that comes out of it is considered a Mel M Know M is m is a special type of Jew that's not allowed to marry any regular Jew he's only allowed to marry another another Mel or convert no it's it's not really what about lck but it's close to it it's as a result of a uh of um out of wedlock it's like two people that are not married uh you know D that's not it what it is is someone being intimate with somebody else's wife it's adultery adulter it's as a result of adultery so when he's thinking about another woman it's like he committed adultery and there's a child that came out of it so here this woman that walked around innocently innocently in the street with the mini skirt and a tank top and she thinks everything's okay now she's responsible for a this that came to the world this m is going to suffer the rest of his life whose fault is it the minis skirt and a tank top right right everybody's at fault but the point is is thatting seed wasting seed is worse immodesty it's it's up up there it's up there in the same level where wasting seed for example for a man there's no way that a man can go to ganeden if he did not do chuva for wasting seed as a matter of fact if he wasted seed knowingly and continuous VI ly without doing CH for it there's no way that he could actually ever get out of Gom it's one of the three sins that hem says Gom forever page 17 says there are certain types of people that make certain sins that make
