working on huge things that are going to change the world change the Jewish World Change the World At Large uh and uh okay when are they going to be announced I said some of them going to happen uh and be announced in the next few days uh some of them in the next few weeks some of them in the next few months so uh there's literally huge things one after another uh pay close attention to all of it anyone that wants to get the updates obviously you can join our WhatsApp group uh or Whatsapp page uh and of course if you want to be a partner in all of these huge things uh you know movies uh for kids for for adults we have a major movie coming up very soon it's almost finished uh another uh uh huge production uh we just launched a movie today in the kids channel about the uh creation of the world and animation uh which anyone that's watching it uh is uh is really U you know I think pretty much everybody is sent me a message about it how much they liked it but it's still a small channel it's a new channel for kids uh highly recommended for people to sign up their kids a lot of cool stuff in there uh BH kids and uh so there was a new movie that came out today a short film that came out yesterday uh there is a huge uh project we've been working on for many months in regards to the multilingual channels they're going to start uh you're going to start seeing uh new uh videos in the uh Spanish Portuguese German French uh and many other new channels as well that will come up on a daily basis bezem uh in the uh in a very very near future and literally in the next few days uh we also have a huge uh AI project it's called AI Rabbi and I'll let you guys imagine what that means uh until you see it in the next few days as well there's an update on our app a few of them uh that have happened a few of them that are coming up there just simply so many big things happening uh it's a uh it's I was thinking for a second that maybe if I wasn't me and I was one of you I'd literally just go to my bank and just simply do whatever I can to convince them to give me more so I could become partner of all of these things there's also a Newar project that's uh on the ship right now and on the way uh we're looking for some sponsors there's a but we also have to learn now we'll start off with the bad news bad news is uh next week uh there's very likely not going to be shim uh now I'm traveling and uh I'm going to try to do some certainly publish new things on the channels but most likely they're not going to be live sh they could be but most likely will not so just get familiar with the playlist catch up on a lot of sh there's simply a lot of stuff on the channel there's thousands of lectures that everyone can watch uh if not for the first time then certainly for the uh second time uh so that's one the good news is is that uh we have a weekly par and this weekly par is going to address a life issue uh that I think every single normal person uh especially ones that have gotten closer to Hashem over the years uh has asked uh the the big question of why is it that it's at least it appears like it that Wicked people prosper and righteous people suffer now of course everyone knows that's not always the case there are certainly some Wicked people out there that are suffering visibly and there are certainly some righteous people that are very blessed uh so uh it's the question is why this was one of the questions that asked because it's a very very big question because it's confusing where in this week's par we're going to clarify how does the Judgment work in this world the beginning of the Paras begins with aem's promise of a blessing or a curse for mankind obviously mainly the Jewish people is being are being referred to here but this is really applying to everyone everyone either has a blessed life or a cursed life a blessed end or a cursed end and that's what Hashem is telling us see that I present before you this day of blessings and curses and then after this the large portion of this week's par discusses is different idolatrous practices and missionizing that is certainly going to bring curses to a person's life or a community's life all types of punishment that theem says horrible things now while it seems pretty clear to everyone how the blessing works and for who it applies and how the curse works and for who it applies life is not clear in fact life is very confusing because most people have seen Wicked people that fit the text that should apply to the curses but yet they have what seems like a lot of blessing money and whatever other material desires they have success notoriety on the other hand they see righteous people like some of theim we work with people that contact us on a regular basis just today we had a couple of families reach out to us uh asking us for help to pay for basic minimum because they don't have it they don't have money to Wed their daughter in one case another one has no money to pay the basic bills another one uh has no money to feed her kids literally these families reach out to us it seems like every day but obviously it's uh every week and we're trying to help as many people as we can but we certainly need not lot more help in order to be able to help more but uh whatever we can do we do but when you ask yourself who are these people you see these are righteous people these are people that are learning tah doing good people so it seems confusing because there's Wicked people that have millions and billions of dollars even though they're Idol worshippers or atheists or all types of other things and then you have the right people seems like they suffer not all of them but certainly many that's the confusing part that's the confusing part to most people that have not delved into what we're going to talk about tonight and we've explained this part of this answer over the years based on what's written at the end of where says that he pays his lovers for thousands of generations meaning that he rewards the righteous people Ina it's not in this world and as the ram says whatever good you get in this world it's not it's just you know for good things that you've done it's not really the reward that Hashem has given you but rather the ability to do more good because the real reward is endless and it's there's simply not enough good in this world for him to reward you even if he gave you all of the pleasures of this world is not equivalent to even a moment of the pleasure you're going to get and the good you're going to get in G at the other end the same par says that the wicked he pays them to their face in order to destroy them meaning that if he gives millions or billions of dollars or all types of Fame and Fortune to the wicked it's actually to destroy them so we've discussed this in the past but after learning with our dear Rim even though he's in the hospital with his daughter hasn't left there since uh Friday we continue to learn as much as possible and we discovered by learning from him this new insight that we haven't discussed in the past we didn't know in the past and certainly it's something that changes the perspective altogether because these big questions are things that everyone has asked or continues to ask throughout their life and in fact this is the type of lecture that not only does a person not want to miss even a word out of it but you're probably GNA have to watch it once in a while especially the conclusion of it because it's going to remind you to look at the world with these new pair of divine glasses that you'll acquire today so we begin starts off with hashem's promise of blessings and curses at first he tells us the blessing ings this is in chapter 11 book of Deuteronomy verse 27 the blessings are on the condition that you heed the Commandments of Hashem your God that I command you today and the curses if you do not heed the Commandments of Hashem your God and you stray from the path that I command you this day to follow the false gods of the Nations that you did not know so here we see the blessings are promised the curses are promised they're both a package but when it comes to the blessings we're just told of blessings we're going to get for following the mitv there isn't specific mitv that are mentioned like keeping Shabbat like protecting your eyes like giving takaka like a uh eating koser no nothing is mentioned specifically it's generally if you follow the mitv you'll have a blessed life on the other hand we see that the curses are specified where person that does not follow the mitv that disregards the mitv is going to get cursed and then Hashem narrows it down which is different than the blessings by telling us that by straying away from the path a person will end up F following a false god following idolatry and then if you look at the rest of the par and for the next three chapters you see how hasem tells us of the different types of idolatrous practices and the ramifications of them and in order for us to really understand what the the answer is of why do the righteous seem like they suffer and the wicked seem like they're prospering we have to really understand what's at hand here in chapter 14 we're fast forwarding three chapters and then we're going to go backwards hasem tells us that we are holy people we have to be different from all the nations we cannot inter Mar cannot live in a place where we think that we could worship together eat together no certainly you could do business if necessary you could be cordial to each other but there's a limitation and what ends up happening when people break that limitation because they think that being friendly with Nations to the point where they invite them to Jewish holidays and to shabbat and they think it's a good thing and they know then they realize it's not a good thing when their kids into marry when the kids stop seeing the difference between them and their parents friends kids that are also the same age even though a different religion and tells us that we have to be holy we have to be different we have to be separate but it's going to come a time where a whole group of people are going to disregard what the Torah says turn a city into a city of idolatry in chapter 14 verse1 14 tells us through mosu there were a group of men of wickedness he says men who are people of wickedness have emerged from your midst and they have caused the inhabitants of the city to go astray saying let us go and worship the false gods of the nations Gods that you have not known and this Abomination is committed in your midst what do you do according to the Tora we no longer have a San so we cannot do this but this is what M would would have done this is what the saned would have done Tor tells us commands us to destroy the entire city and kill everybody to that extent is the punishment for someone following the idolatry that hasem warned us about in the beginning of the parasa where where he said if you follow idolatry you'll get cursed and we see the curse is pretty clear here curse is punishment for everyone would literally be the entire city being destroyed to such an extent that no one is allowed to benefit from anything in that City all of the furniture all of the jewels all of the all of the gold all of the people Everyone everything has to be destroyed now the ramban clarifies that if these missionaries came to the city and tried to entice everyone to go to Yos or tried to entice everyone to go to Buddha or tried to entice everyone to go to Manis or go to atheism or whatever other form of heresy or idolatry but failed then certainly you don't kill the city but you still have to kill those missionaries you still have to kill those Heretics even though they failed why because they tried according to the Tora that's what the judgment is that's what the says that the people of the city that were successful successfully convinced to idol worship is the worst kind everyone goes but if the Insiders try to convince the residents of the city to worship idolatry but the people don't listen the Insiders are put to death but the rest of the city is not punished and what does AEM consider all of this page 111b says when everything is going on fire whether it's the first option or the second option that includes people hasem considers it as if you brought a sacrifice to him like you did it in the BET mikdash already we're seeing that the Divine glasses are very different shade than anyone is used to hasem considers that a sacrifice reverse a little more what if there was just one situation not a whole city but rather there was a individual that told you all types of heretical things all types of idolatrous things and that individual was not just a YouTuber let's just say he was your brother your father your cousin the time ofu who says you shall not be compassionate towards him and you shall not cover up for him rather you should surely kill him again this is not today this is the time of mosu it's the time of theed missionary comes to town missionary puts on YouTube video tries to entice everyone to abandon the Torah the End is horrible in fact the Torah even clarifies that it's not even idolatry only rather in verse number 11 chapter 13 it says you shall Pelt him with stones and he shall die for he sought to make you stray from the fear of Hashem your God who took you out of the land of Egypt from the house of slavery meaning this is not just oh he told you to go worship some Idol this is even if he told you you don't need to be afraid of God the Divine glass are different are different reverse a little more we go back a little bit more we see that Hashem is promising us that at the end of days there are going to be not just Heretics not just liars deceivers and scammers of the type that we've seen in discussed before but they're going to be extraordinary ones ones that Hashem will actually allow to perform Miracles through all types of things whether it be witchcraft or other ways but certainly through hasem says there's going to be such people where these are going to be the false prophets and that false prophet verse number six chapter 13 or that dreamer of a dream shall be put to death for he spoke words of perversion against hem your God you shall eliminate the evil from your midst meaning even if this messenger is not just a heretic with a soft message that's trying to get you to buy into his program no he's even a guy That Makes Miracles he's even a person that has dreams that tell you all types of things to says this will happen it did with Yos like it did with all types of others throughout the generations says yeah this is going to happen why why is this going to happen hasem says in verse number four do not accept the words of that Prophet or that dreamer of a dream Hashem allows the false prophet to perform signs and wonders because Hashem your God is testing you to know whether you love Hashem your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul meaning the tests are going to get bigger the tests are going to get bigger as the says that in the generation before mashia will reach the 50th level of impurity of Tuma which is the level of heresy the level of heresy that we've seen in recent years has surpassed anything the world has seen in many many generations but this is nothing in comparison to apparently what's coming now Shem says eventually he's going to deal with all those people don't become one of them fine I don't think anyone that's watching my video right now wants to become one of them so why is this relevant kind of know all this the question is why does hasem spend so much effort if you will telling us These Warnings in detail without necessarily giving us many details of the blessings if we do good in fact what's even more troubling is that if you look at last week's par which unfortunately we missed our opportunity to study together with you we see something even more troubling in chapter 9 verse number four and on Hashem says do not say in your heart when Hashem your God breaks them from before you you shall not be saying before because of my righteousness did Hashem bring me bring me in to take possession of this land and that because of the sins of the Nations does Hashem drive them away from before you in so many words Hashem is telling us don't think that you're so righteous that that's the reason why I gave you the land don't think it's just because you keep Shabbat you gave takaka you're modest don't think that that seems even more confusing didn't you say that the blessings and the curses the curses he told us horrible things idol worship missionizing heresy bad things will happen to them blessings following me but here telling me that you're giving us the land but that's not really the reward for the righteousness in fact don't think that you're so righteous just do your job follow the MIT you'll get a blessing wait so the land is not the blessing no the money is not the blessing no the new car Tesla new model $200,000 it's not the blessing no extension to the house no kids no so so what's the blessing the curses I know it begins with death penalty and then gnome and so on it's confusing Shem specifically says in fact he wants to make he repeats what he says verse before you now I'm reading verse number five not repeating the same thing verse number five in chapter n last week's p in fact it is not because of your righteousness and the uprightness of your heart that you are coming in to take possession of their land rather it is only because of the sins of these nations that Hashem your God drives them away from before you and in order to uphold the word the oath that hasem swore to your forefather to Abraham to and to Jakob and you should know for the third time verse number six and you should know that is not because of your righteousness that Hashem your God is giving you this good land to take possessions of it for you are a stiff neck people if you aren't confused you're either a genius or you haven't read either one of the but let's clarify is telling us we have blessing and curse they come as a package there's no such thing as just a blessing or just a curse blessing and curses came down from from sh that's what's in this world follow idolatry whether it's individuals false prophets groups whatever it is curses a are guaranteed follow the MIT blessings are guaranteed but don't think that you're overly righteous that you're getting the reward for your blessings right now the land that you are getting is not because you're so good in fact we got to land because they're so wicked and also because hem promised ab and yov and not because of our righteousness so how does it all work now most people they're used to a simpler a simpler formula a formula that the midash says an easier formula what is the easier formula the mid in of uh Raba Hashem tells us a few things had you merited meaning had you received the blessing had you done the right right thing you would have read in the Tor what it says in the Book of Leviticus chapter 16:30 for on this day he shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before hem shall you be cleansed this is what we say during Yip it's coming up in a month and a half but since now that you have not married behold you read something else what Lamentations 1:9 her impurity is on our hems had you merited you would read in a Torah it says in Leviticus 16:30 where from all of your sins before hasem shall you be cleansed but now that you have not merited behold you read where it says in Lamentations verse 8 in chapter one Jerusalem sinned gratefully she has therefore become a Wanderer this explains why throughout the last couple thousand years every time we build a community whether it's in Holland and Poland different parts of Russia Germany Spain turkey Morocco and countless other places after we build it after the go get rich off of it after we start finally succeeding and not just have a lower class but actually have a middle class maybe even a some that are extremely wealthy as well what happens everybody gets kicked out before before they all get killed they get kicked out why this is part of the curse now most people familiar with this if you're a Jew you've heard some read some history you've spoken to your grandparents you learned some Torah this is what we're used to blessing is prosperity hasem prot you know protects us from the enemy Hashem wipes out our sins everything's good like the verse said curse Exile curse death curse October 7th Holocaust pgrs inquisitions that's what we're used to that's what's been that's the simple explanation everyone's familiar with but that's what makes everything in the par more confusing here you're telling me the curses that came from idolatry they're guaranteed that's what happens but the blessings they're also guaranteed but don't think for a moment that what you got in this world whether it's your new car your new wife your new kids your new bank account that has a whole lot more digits in it or even the land itself don't think it's because you're so righteous it's not in fact the explanation that you're going to get right now if you're still paying attention will rewire your brain to look at the world in very differently as we said before the rambam explains that whatever good Hashem gives you in this world let's say you pray because you want him to help you make more money find a wife find a husband have children and Hashem answers your prayers it's not because the wife is the reward for your prayer or for youra that you gave or the the money that you got is the reward for you keeping Shabbat no hem gives you Tools in order to make more mitv so you made the Mitzvah of getting married now hasem is going to give you an opportunity to have to raise children to learn T to do you gave money Ina to to publicize more t with hasem will give you even more money so you can give morea next time and all types of things that hasem does in order to enable you to make more MIT and from there we see a certain level of clarification for the blessings where the real blessing is after this life and the things we get in this world are simply Tools in order to acquire a bigger blessing but what happens when instead of getting more money you get sick and lose all your money does that mean that you're cursed what if somebody got really sick and in fact lost all of his money he used to make millions and millions of dollars and he was charitable and he gave wasn't the most Torah observant person but he was charitable so he did good with the money he didn't steal he didn't Rob and then one day he gets really sick so sick that he starts to bleed from different orices of his body he's screaming nonstop he loses the ability to do all types of things including work and all of the money starts literally disappearing lost bad deals theft all types of horrible things and all he can do is fight for his life is he cursed you should make a movie like that what happens to that guy what if he does Chua is he still cursed he got sick and he does Chua so did he get cursed and then blessed well how come the guy that's an idolator the guy that's a heretic that perhaps was in the office next door or had even a bigger office or had more money and made more sense but he didn't get sick he didn't lose all of his money in fact he made 10 times more money how come it looks like he's being blessed and he didn't do Chua so pay attention my dear children heard this from lein sh that he made 15 years ago tells us here I offer you I give you I guarantee you blessing in a curse the come as a package now the ultimate blessing and the ultimate curse are not what you think you see the blessing that you can get in this world that's greater than any blessing you can possibly imagine is help from Hashem to serve him the ultimate curse that a person can get is no no help from Hashem to serve him now why is the greatest blessing in the world that a person can get in this world help from Hashem to serve him because if you have help from hasm to serve him and you succeed as a result obviously it's much easier now it's not guaranteed but it's certainly easier he's like not just pushing your bike he's giving you those little extra wheels that are on the sides so certainly it's easier to ride the bike and not fall off he's giving you those training wheels along the way even though sometimes you're going downhill and Uphill but still you still have those training wheels you have that so you're more likely to succeed and why is that the ultimate blessing because if you continue in that path you're guaranteed to get the true blessing that hasem has waiting for you for thousands of generations which is after this temporary life ends hence the reason why the blessing the ultimate blessing you can get in this world is help from Hashem to serve him the ultimate curse on the other hand is when hasem doesn't help a person in fact decrees not to help him now how does this work in real life let's look at it a person wins the L just got a contract from some client that increased his net worth a thousandfold he went from barely making ends meet each month to now he's making more in one day than he made in an entire year his whole life changed he won the lotto he got a big contract he got a big job whatever it is huge amount of money now from the human perspective with no Divine glasses this looks like a clear blessing why is it a blessing oh now I have all this money I don't have to worry about money anymore there's not going to be any problems with schlom my wife's going to stop nagging me my husband is going to stop complaining my kids are going to have food to eat my kids are going to have new clothes each season and so on and so forth you have money so clearly this looks like a blessing on the other hand someone was perfectly healthy 26 years old 27 years old 30 years old whatever it is is life or her life ahead of them they have everything you can possibly imagine all of a sudden they get sick they're dying it's horrible they're literally in pain to such an extent they're asking to die dying would be a downgrade would be less than what they're having imagine that so to from the human perspective that looks clearly like a curse what a horrible curse this person had look he just had a tragedy all these tragedies happening what a horrible thing to happened to this person looks like a curse but that's because we're looking at things from a human perspective tells us if you look at life from a human perspective you're going to suffer whether you have a blessing or a curse why because you're going to walk around as if you're blind in darkness you're not going to know what's right what's left you're not going to know what's a blessing or what's a curse see here's a little insight of how the blessings and the curses work it's not about what you get but rather what's the purpose behind it now if a person has gotten a huge amount of money huge amount of money Chang his life he can buy anything he wants he can buy Yachts he can buy houses he can buy people he can buy whatever he wants while that looks like a blessing it may be a curse if he has theay that I talked about before if he actually has the blessing already then that means that Hashem gave him the money in order for him to get closer to him where he'll see wow look at that Hashem gave me all this money before I had this money I wasn't observing Shabbat before I had this money I wasn't giving takaka before I had this money I didn't care about anybody but myself but now that I have this money and I got all this blessing let me give let me help let me do good things let me keep Shabbat let me thank hem so therefore that money that he got brings him closer to Hashem so in essence the money is not the blessing but rather a tool that Hashem uses in order to fulfill the blessing that the person already has he is blessed to have the the Divine assistance to get closer to Hashem and Hashem sees money will help this particular person get closer to me if I give him money if I give him a wife if I give him kids if I give him these tools he will use those tools to get closer to me therefore it's worth it for me to give it to him why because I wanted to get closer to me so for that person the blessing existed already and Hashem used money to fulfill it on the other hand a person that does not have in fact a person that has the curse because he's worshiping Idols he thinks God needs him instead of he needs God he is doing all types of things that are against the toah means that he already has a curse on him for violating the Torah for doing things that are against the Torah and Hashem says this guy if I give him money it won't help him get closer to me in fact he'll actually think that he made the money he'll actually think that he is more powerful than me he'll actually think he doesn't need me anymore and since he has the curse give him a bunch of money go ahead let him win let him get a fantastic investment that goes from one to a million why I don't want to see his face he's cursed so money for one person was a tool that Hashem used to fulfill the existing blessing and bring the person closer on the other hand money was used as a tool for hasem to Simply get in the way of a person that has a curse from getting closer to Hashem in fact the more money he has the less he thinks about Hashem this is like what happened with s s and his sons went to attack they've already conquered the entire world the says s had such an enormous Army he had 185,000 Legions not 185,000 soldiers but 185,000 Legions that meaning that there were so many that when they went on their way to Yim and they crossed the river there were so many of them and since every one of them that goes into the water to cross the river a little bit of the water gets absorbed into their garments into their clothes into their shoes into their everything by the time they passed the river the river was dry that's how big their army was and and they came to destroy but was aik that caused to learn T he didn't even have an army he had he had he had he had people learning tah so much so that they couldn't find even little kids that didn't know the most complicated parts of the Torah about purity and impurity so when he came when s came to attack there was no way for to fight back number one they're much smaller and people number two they don't even have an army but they don't need an army when they have AEM and thear says that aadh sent the angel who came down and killed all of the soldiers millions and millions of soldiers of s by simply burning their souls their bodies looked perfect as if they're sleeping but they all became dead they all had nothing the next morning when s and his sons woke up they saw that it's just dead bodies around them millions and millions of dead bodies they got so scared they ran away from there the say that they ran away and they went to nve why nve because they wanted a perfect place to worship idols and after they ran away from yush they ran into the mount arat in turkey and there s discovered no's no's Ark and he saw the massive scale of this that he said surely what happened to me and how all of the soldiers died instantly was done by the same God that destroyed the world and saved Noah everyone knew who Noah was in the story and this was a personalized reminder for S of who God was and who did it and he took a piece of the wood from the T and said I'm going to worship this piece of wood because surely if it protected Noah surely it could rebuild everything that I've lost and I could defeat the Jewish people when his sons his two sons saw their father worshiping idolatry turning the piece of stick from Noah's into idolatry they said to themselves look at this old man what a fool he is instead of recognizing the great Creator the master of the world that just destroyed his entire Army his entire world who actually to give him a personalized message by showing him the Ark of Noah if the first message was enough instead of recognizing him and serving him what is he doing he wants to kill us so he could sacrifice us to this piece of stick what a fool he is they killed they killed their father and they ran back to yush and converted to Judaism and this the sons of became andon Shon were well before RAB AKA or RAB aka's Rabbi RAB hos and his Rabbi Zak were the zot they were before everybody where they came from they came from this at the time of time of the BET mdash first bet mdash now we see here the this difference in perspective one person has a curse where instead of him taking advantage of the opportunity gave him all the money in the world all the army in the world everything in the world and just simply living comfortably what does he do he wants more he wants more he wants more and he serves idols and he does all the horrible things and even after Hashem destroys all of that he doesn't get the message in fact even after Hashem shows him an extraordinary thing like Noah's Arc it's used as a tool to destroy him even further because he already has a curse and therefore whatever comes to him is simply a tool to fulfill that curse his sons on the other hand his sons who recognized that aadh is the one that runs the world they saw the same thing they saw their father's Army and all of their servants destroyed in a second they also saw the Ark of Noah but this was a tool that hasem utilized to fulfill the blessing as it got them closer to and they end up converting to Judaism and ended up becoming some of the greatest sages that ever lived so we see from here that from the simple perspective when you look at money or any type of material possession while it looks like a blessing it's not quite always a blessing it all depends on whether you have a blessing or not money is simply a tool that Hashem is going to utilize either to fulfill a blessing you already have or a curse you already have now what about a sickness sickness surely looks like a horrible thing well one end somebody can get sick after they have all types of money they have all types of success they have whatever they have even if they don't have a lot of success they simply have gone the wrong way they worshiped Idols they did horrible things and now they get sick and instead of returning to Hashem they blashe against Hashem instead instead of doing chuva they go against God so that sickness was a tool that asem used to fulfill the curse that was already in their life since they betrayed God since they went against God and have no interest in going in the way of the Torah they acquired for themselves a curse so when the sickness or any type of damage came to them that was a tool to fulfill the curse on the other hand one that has done good things that simply has a blessing it just cannot be activated until a tool is sent their way that they're using it and therefore hasem sent them a sickness now that sickness looks like a curse why it caused them to lose their money it caused them to lose their job it caused them to lose what they thought is their friends it caused them to lose what they thought is reality it caused them extraordinary suffering for decades but it was the best blessing they ever got why because through that sickness they realized how far away from Hashem they are they realized how much they need AEM they realized that without AEM there is no life and therefore that sickness that pain that Agony the loss ended up being a tool that aadh used to fulfill a blessing because ultimately the greatest thing that a person can have is AEM wanting them to come back so much that they want to help you that these tools hasm wants to help you when a person has when a person has Divine assistance to come closer to Hashem that means that all of the tools whether it be sickness or materialism whether it be profits or losses whether it be things you can imagine in a positive way or things you can imagine in a negative way whatever tools Hashem has at his disposal he's going to utilize in order to fulfill that blessing that blessing may hurt that blessing may be pleasurable that blessing that tool that you it's going to be could be painful could be good but ultimately it's all about what's the outcome what's the outcome the outcome is getting you closer to Hashem that means that you were blessed that means that hm utilized all these things to get you blessed you got closer to Hashem now you're on a path to really get to that Promised Land which is where you're going to get the blessings for eternity on the the other hand when a person continues to go against Hashem mock Hashem frown upon anyone that's following hasem distort what the Torah says in so many words be one of the wicked people that the tah mentions in this week's par that Hashem hates that Hashem is going to destroy now it looks like that person is getting money he's getting success he's getting Health he's getting a lot of things but whatever that is in that person's life is simply another tool that hasem utilizes to fulfill the curse and what's the curse to keep them away just like the snake the serpent where asem says to that serpent you can have as much food as you can possibly ever desire it's all going to be sand you don't have to pray to me anymore why sand is the most abundant thing in the world everything will taste to the snake like sand whether he eats a rat or a mouse or a chicken or a dog or whatever he eats it's all sand he gave him endless amount of parasa endless amount of sustenance why I don't want to see you I don't want see your face and this is the worst possible curse when a Kosh says I don't want to see your face and in essence he's giving a person money or health issues or whatever it is what looks good and looks bad whatever it is but that's the outcome of it is distancing a person from hasm then you know it's a curse because you know that the end of this life there's an outcome so if where he is where she is is in a place of of immodesty of immorality of of Injustice of of of Corruption of wickedness of idolatry whatever it is that is obviously not in a place of according to the Torah of blessings it's a place of curses then you know that the outcome of this life will be a curse That Never Ends because there's reward and Punishment and hasm says if you follow my Torah you're going to get the blessing that doesn't end that's after this life whatever happens in this temporary life that's in order to assist you to get to that blessing sometimes it may hurt sometimes it may feel good but know for sure it's simply a tool Hashem is using to help you get that blessing in the end but if somebody's going against hem even if they have a lot of money even if they have a lot of possessions even if they have whatever a person can possibly imagine that's good in this temporary life if they're going against hem that means that all of what they have in their life are simply tools utilized in order for that person to stay on the path that will get them curse what's the curse the Judgment the Judgment but what ends up happening is that the curse already begins here because living that type of life that's absent of hem that's absent of Tru truth is already a curse in itself hence the reason why in the beginning of the par says the blessings and the curse the blessings if you follow my mitv the curse if you don't follow my mitzvot and then you go to idolatry it's more specific why because while it the blessing the blessing is simply following the mitv that's the that's that in itself is a blessing and the curse is living life without MIT A Life That's following a false god that itself is a curse before the ultimate curse before the ultimate horrible things so this is something that will have to constantly remind ourselves when we look around the world and we see an upside down world it's not upside down you just don't have the right parag glasses on put the right pair of glasses on the Divine glasses that make you understand how Hashem runs this world because if you don't wear the right pair of glasses you're going to be confused forever and that's one of the things that the lichi wanted to clarify to a few people that came to him they were the executives of a organization called h and on the second of they asked the rebi the laichi that they heard the rabbi talk about the fear of Heaven and the awe of his majesty exaltedness what about the fear of physical pain the says there are times where the fear of the the exaltedness of hem and Heavenly thoughts will not be effective on a person loving God exaltedness of God it won't help on a person in fact these Heavenly thoughts will not help him at all thinking about the seven levels of Heaven it won't help them the only thoughts that will help a person at certain times are thoughts of G thoughts of punishment thoughts of horrible things happening that's what's going to work why he says says Heavenly thoughts are not going to help if you're walking on Broadway Broadway it's New York Place full of immodesty and immorality he says you thinking of heavenly places while you're walking around surrounded by all types of things that are immoral and immodest those thoughts are not going to help you only thoughts of G are going to help you there how are they going to help you they're going to help you not look at all the things you're not supposed to look at they're going to help you get out of that place as soon as you possibly can this was published in t the additions page 105 all of recent and past had this picture crystal clear in their minds but we need the clarification and now we have it and we'll use it and start utilizing all the tools that we have at our disposal to get closer to and start looking at life and the relationships that we have and the Investments that we have and the things that we have in our life start looking at them are these things helping me get closer to Hashem or are they distancing meem if they're helping me get closer to Hashem then certainly they're a blessing I'm using them as a blessing Hashem is using them as a blessing but if they're distancing me away from Hashem then this is a curse sometimes a curse could be self-inflicted but needless to say something that's distancing you away from Hashem is certainly a curse so let's stay away from the curses and try to acquire as many blessings as we possibly can now with that being said I know that you guys had quite a few questions we have the answer for last week's question or two weeks ago there was a question that the uh we asked there was a cat a cat that uh was a nasty cat likes to scratch people likes to jump on them do all types of things horrible things nasty cat but it wasn't your cat it was your neighbor's cat and uh one day you go outside you see this cat let's say it's at night doesn't really matter you see this cat there's nobody else the owner is nowhere to be seen and you see this cat what can you do with this cat and the options that I gave you guys if I remember correctly was option A you take the cat kill him and turn him into a scarf B you could go and bring him back to his owner even if he scratches you along the way you bring him back to your owner or uh see tell the owner to come get the cat what can you do with this cat now you guys have given me some answers I had some interesting answers that people told me some have said certainly you can't kill the cat it's a you can't just kill somebody it's somebody else's property you can't be mean to animals even had somebody tell me that what you really should do is train the cat and also train the owner of the cat of how to handle such a cat and uh that way the cat won't damage anybody anymore now this person is a very nice person very nice and very thoughtful only problem is that according to they're wrong why because pass translation an evil cat that causes that's uh hurts little uh young ones kids if you see him you don't have to not only you don't have to return him to the owner rather kill the cat and you could use the skin to do whatever you want turn him into a scarf turn him into a carpet turn him into whatever you want why once he becomes once he's an evil cat once he's a damaging cat he's no longer a pet he no longer has a right to exist if he's hurting people why animals were created for the sake of people not the other way around I know that there are some fools out there that literally leave millions of dollars as inheritance to their cats and dogs this is not only stupid this is against the Torah but the point being is is that once a cat or dog or whatever other animal is an animal that hurts people this animal is no longer a pet and what about the fact that somebody owns this cat once this owner showed such irresponsibility that the cat is out there free knowing that this cat is a vicious cat is an evil cat that could hurt somebody and that cat is roaming around that Ro that owner loses their right to for ownership that cat becomes a hazard for the society whoever it kills him is fulfilling a and now once you killed them it's yours you could use the body for whatever you want you can throw them in the garbage you can turn them into a scarf either way it's yours and you don't have to tell the owner about it you don't have to publicize it simply put you fulfill the Mitzvah that is what the T say now of course there's going to be some liberals out there and pet lovers that disagree with Torah but remember Torah is from hasem it's not from me I didn't make the tah he didn't ask me my opinion and certainly Hashem knows better than we do don't think that you're more merciful than God so with that being said now we answer the question now we'll see what questions you guys have B and if we remember B we'll ask you guys some other questions for the next time let's see is it allowed to make propaganda according to the Jewish religion depends what the purposes General General statements like that cannot be answered because it depends what the purposes if you're saving somebody's life if you're helping somebody if you know is it to cause damage to someone for no reason or for your personal benefit is it a national or personal I don't really see many questions here see comments all right let's see over here YouTube Rabbi is it proper to look into the footsteps of the mssiah since it appears to be near what does that mean look into the footsteps of mhia you mean just look into what's happening in the world and try to see if this is what msia this is what's happening I wouldn't spend more than five minutes a day or even 5 minutes a week on it it's uh what's happening in the world is what's happening in the world if you're talking about learning about the topic of mashia uh specifically in the Tora again this shouldn't be something that a person spends too much time on it's interesting it's uh stimulating mentally uh but it's not necessarily going to help you serve AEM and it's certainly not going to help you be saved by the mashiah what's going to help you be saved by the mashiach when he finally comes soon is being righteous is having is fulfilling the and that's what's going to help you so to know all of what's going to happen once mashia comes or what's supposed to happen before he comes all of these different things just like the rambam said this is not a subject that people should spend time on uh simply because it's not going to help you serve AEM uh this is the reason why all of the predictions and the different possibilities of what will happen after mashia uh actually comes the rambam says we're only going to know uh for sure once it already happens and therefore researching it investigating it is not going to help you um because it's not going to help you serve AEM even if you know everything and you're right about everything that will happen after mashia uh you know arrives that is not going to help you even 1% closer to actually being saved because if you're still not keeping Shabbat if you're still not eating kosher if you're still not you know protecting your breed if you're still not following the basic level of MIT even if you know everything about Messiah and even what he looks like it won't help you it won't help you Rabbi why is prophecy not taught in Hebrew school there's no more prophecy for the last 2,000 years my friend no more prophecy since the uh bet mikdash was destroyed part of the punishment even before the BET mikdash was destroyed was that uh there was no more new prophets uh did enter Israel with the generation of Yeshua and if not what happened to her I don't remember seeing anything about Tora living that long to uh going to Isel um but uh you know there's no no particular uh verse that I remember either that says that she specifically died but that's not really a uh um just simply because there's very few words about that are mentioned in the Torah uh there's not really a lot of uh uh details about her in the Torah uh she obviously was was the wife of mosenu she saved MOS renu's Life by giving a circumcision uh to their newborn son she was extremely righteous uh but uh still the uh as far as the uh the details after that there's uh not not much that I know of uh I'll look into it see RAB can we D with slippers on or should we be or should we be barefoot uh certainly you should do them with some slippers or shoes on how do you get forgiven for wasting seed so if you watch my film called tuna at the end of the film it talks about different things that a person can do uh to uh stop wasting seed uh and uh that's the biggest thing the first thing is to stop stop wasting seed uh the second thing is is to learn enough about the topic and make life changes uh in order to make sure you don't go back to the sin you know the key part to avoid is intentional sin intentional immorality either immorality with self or with others that stay away from like the you know like the plague no intentional immorality uh so first stop two is make whatever changes you need in your life in order not to go back to it learn as much as you possibly can about it to have as many tools as you can to know how to deal with it uh there are many lectures and many short videos that we've made uh discussing uh the topic but also including in in them is uh different ideas uh very very uh effective ideas of how to overcome the desire uh especially at difficult moments what to do and so on so You Know download the tunait guide that we have uh on the uh on the website be.org on the ebook section over there if you go to uh keep you know you'll see there's something called tiuna breed guide in there there is a uh list of books and videos that uh person should uh watch should study uh very seriously anyone that has taken this seriously and has followed my teachings about this topic over the years has succeeded in overcoming this obstacle the only people that have not succeeded are people that simply did not follow the teachings uh but anyone that has followed the teachings has done what it says has overcome this obstacle and has received many blessings many people uh ended up getting married as a result uh some had kids as a result after they couldn't have kids anymore uh all types of Miracles have happened to people that have overcome this obstacle so step number one is stop step number two is make that uh that uh spirit ual offence to make sure you don't go back to the sin step number three is apologize to hasem you know say I'm sorry that you made this mistake this is going to be something that will be uh um grad a gradual process why because the more knowledgeable you become and the more distant you become from the sin where it becomes a part of your past but not your present the more effective that apology will be the more meaningful that apology will be so that's step number three those are the key three steps they're free and they're uh they're something that anyone can do now if somebody has the means the resources the ability uh for for uh to do more than that then they should invest into K by doing the tikun Abit which is uh you can go to tikun Abit uh. live TI k k u n uh h a b r i t uh l i v over there it gives a uh description of what a tun is and it's a all the donations that you send over there uh that goes to help us continuously publicize more lectures more more videos more films more uh USBS more things in regards to this particular topic so it helps us help other people which in essence help magnifies your chuva a millionfold so that's something that uh anyone that has the uh wants to do serious chuva for and has the means to do it uh should do that uh should make that literally the number one investment uh and uh invest as much as can as they can from in that if you don't have the means then simply do the first three steps which are free uh but certainly this is something that anyone can do okay is is be at peace at the end of times no they're going to go to war bigger than the world could ever imagine there's a war of Goog and the war of go Magog initially uh starts with a uh the the world fighting each other everybody's fighting each other but then uh Ishmael Ishmael and asav ishma and adom are fighting each other the whole world is fighting but then they are both going toh stop and both Ishmael and adom are going to attack Israel uh and the only one that's going to be able to defeat them is mashia that hasem sends uh but it's the ishma will just get worse and worse until mhia comes and destroys uh all of those that wanted to hurt the Jewish people that were against the Jewish people uh now of course among ishma and also among ad there are some righteous noites uh that you know may have come from ishma may have come from adom but they're not following their the Wicked Ways of either idolatry or heresy or anti-Semitism and and so on their uh supporters of the tah their lovers of the Torah their lovers of the Jewish people those people will certainly survive those people will certainly uh you know have the uh protection but the enemies of am enemies of the tah uh the uh the enemies of the Jewish people they uh they're unfortunately going to get stronger and stronger and stronger until hem destroys them completely by using the mhia with the words of the mashia he's going to destroy them as the Prophet Jeremiah says that's the verse see I feel too old to convert uh no one's too old to convert if you're serious about uh Judaism you can uh go through the process and however long it takes it takes but you can convert there's certainly people that have converted uh later in their life some people converted in their uh 70s there was one woman that uh here in Florida wasn't my student but somebody else's student I think she was something like uh uh maybe 80 years old maybe even more than that that ended up converting to Judaism so uh the key is not when you converted the the key is What did you do uh in order to convert and what did you do after you converted and then you know in so many words uh the more a person serves hem uh the more person wants to serve hem the more they're going to want to have the ability to serve hem at the highest possible level but you know if a person doesn't really want to serve AEM they just uh want to justify where they're at then fine but don't say it's because you're too old has nothing to do with being old it's like somebody saying I'm too old to make a lot of money my somebody gave you a billion dollars you'd say no no so it's whole question of whether you want it or not and how much effort you're you're willing to exert for it what you want how much effort you willing to exert tells us how much you actually want it dear Rabbi as it is a sin for a male to weigh seed is the same for a female for but they don't have any seeds to waste mosha Feinstein uh brings the Ben he says that when a woman uh is promiscuous with herself she's also creating mikim demons and it's so it's not necessarily the same level of sin as a man but it's still just as damaging my son wants to know my son wants to know is there a situation where the heart is right and not the brain there is a situation where the heart is right and not the brain is the heart right and not the brain based on M yes self-sacrifice the whole concept of uh self- sacrifice is uh purely heart uh even though the the brain doesn't uh necessarily agree and it's not logical I mean anyone that makes sacrifices for the sake of hem that's that's in essence what they live off of it's they uh at least as as as they become more and more knowledgeable they need a lot more heart than they uh they have brain uh so uh you know if like you know I use my personal story as a uh um you know as simply a way for you guys to see it in real life not necessarily because I like to hear my own story constantly uh but if you watch the movie that we made Hashem took back his millions and you see in the beginning of the movie it talks about success and money and you know millions and so on and so forth uh but then later on on you see that you know there was a lot of hardship uh and eventually things those those things uh stopped to a certain extent and I certainly had the opportunity to go get a job go back on restart do a million different things uh to to rebuild the wealth to rebuild the financial uh uh career that I had for nearly two decades uh but instead I chose to you know be a uh somebody that teaches Tora somebody that uh does to help you know poor Jews that that helps uh the more Torah to uh be publicized in the world and so many words somebody that works for free instead of somebody that makes about $3,500 an hour uh somebody that works for free now according to all uh according to the brain it not only doesn't make any sense it's insane it's absolutely insane but according to the heart especially you know in the beginning before I had as much knowledge as I have today you know it's it's the only thing that made sense because I knew that there is plenty of other business people in the world but there's not many people that are publicizing to uh in the world especially the truth of Tor because if people like myself that were relatively well educated did not know the basic levels of Judaism then certainly there are many people just like me and the more years I spend in this uh you know teaching and doing what we do the more I realize how much ignorance there is in the world uh both in the fir world and the secular world so it financially it did not make sense at all uh logically it did not make sense at all brain was going crazy heart on the other hand was convinced that this was the right thing to do to sacrifice everything for the sake of hm andm hasem did not let us down hasm is helping us we we have everything we need to eat we have everything we need to drink we have everything we need to live and nothing's missing and B blessed us a millionfold and he continues to bless us uh certainly there is always tests but that's that's the that's part of life so is there times that the heart is right and the brain is wrong if the purpose of the outcome is in accordance with the Torah then yes that that is very much uh not only possible that is necessary in order for a person to make self-sacrifice uh but if you're talking about is the Torah wrong and your feelings right no that's never going to be that's never going to be so it all depends it all depends how can a Jew enjoy in the world of a which with knowledge that they didn't reach their potential well whatever they reach the fact fact that they actually got to is already more pleasure than they could ever imagine even possible in this world they'll have plenty of uh of pleasure in that world now as far as getting to a higher level is still possible it's just not going to be from the teach that there is a uh um each each year each year hasem opens up the books of the living and the dead and judges again now to judge the people that are living is understandable people make new sins people make new mitm judges them but why open up the books of the dead because the people that have died left left things in this world they left money they left writings they left videos they left teachings they left something in this world so if somebody is righteous enough to enter Heaven that means they left something good in this world so let's say they left righteous kids so now each year Hashem reviews those righteous kids and what good things came out of those righteous kids they wrote more they learn more T they have kids that are learning T they're giving morea and so on that also goes to the father or the mother that left them in this world uh if this person is so righteous that he got to Heaven you know that means that he maybe he wrote a book A book that people are doing Chua because of him he did lectures that had impacted people let's say he made one family do Chua one family only okay he made one person do cha and that person got married and now he has a Torah home and now they have a few kids and guess what that person that he helped them do CH every single mitvah that that person does goes also to the account of the person that helped him and not only him his wife too and not only his wife their kids too and not only their kids their kids's kids too and their kids and kids too meaning now now this person that helped this person do chuva e either by speaking to him or giving him a USB or supporting someone that is speaking to him or giving him a USB or making lectures someone that's supporting our organization you helped somebody do Chua as a result of it guess what even after the person is already dead for 200 years every year hasem reopens the account again opens up the book and sees all of the other mitv that were made during that last year as a result of what happened before you died or after you died as a result of what you did as a result of those few thousand that you don't know that helped the person do Chu helped them get married and and have a Jewish Home help them have kids that are following going to learning T help those kids uh get married and also reproduce do the same exact thing help them have grandkids that are doing the same exact thing now 200 years you've already left this world you now have 10 20 30 50 100 thousand a million people that are doing mitv as a result of the few dollars that you donated and that's why says that if people knew if people knew the value of helping people do CH of supporting kiru they'd literally run in the streets and do whatever they can just to get a chance to do it they would do whatever they possibly can just to help people do chuba so the point is is that a person that has reached Heaven as a result of their righteousness they still have an opportunity to go even higher every single year now the process of going higher is not necessarily uh as simple as I'm saying I'm just giving you a simplistic explanation of it there's a process there's a uh even a uh cleansing process required even but I'm going to leave that for another day I don't want to get uh you guys to uh on on that topic yet but we'll talk about it in the future there's of the ship byebye no noes allowed to listen to your lectures since the majority of my lectures uh are only are speaking Musa are speaking the weekly par there's no problem of them listening to my lectures I have many no high students for many years uh that uh have become very very uh close uh some have literally uh have known for since day one uh that I've guided them I've been uh involved in different uh personal things that they needed help with uh and uh they learn a lot from our lectures for the last decade or so and uh it's transformed their lives so certainly uh we have many nodes uh that are students we have many people that used to be Christians become nodes many of them have converted as well uh many are want to convert many are not converting but the point is that anyone that wants to watch the lectures is welcome to watch them uh and apply what is applicable to you when I say the uh that you know to observe Shabbat obviously I'm referring to the Jewish people uh but when I say to to uh you know be a decent person to be righteous to be a uh honest and and 99% of everything that we talk about that's applying to everyone both Jews and non-jews so that's something that a person can learn from is it possible for a nohy woman to create a a holy n yes look job was a holy Nish and he was he was an nohide thank you for all of you that are donating right now I appreciate it and uh uh also as a reminder anyone that uh becomes a paid subscriber on the uh YouTube Chanel Channel send me a um screenshot of uh proof that you become a subscri sub paid subscriber and we'll send you a uh free Tumblr send it to events BH torah.org events bh.org or info b.org but events at bh.org is usually the easiest one uh EV uh n TS at B is in bazat h is in Hashem t as in Torah R ah.org send a screenshot over there we with your address uh in uh name I we'll send you a free Tumblr Rabbi ordered the stone Edition Kum based on your recommendation thank you so much okay uh I have a lot of friends who follow Jewish law but always have loopholes for certain laws is this wrong uh it depends it depends if uh there are certain uh there are certain things there are certain leniencies that are permissible and there's certain leniencies that are forbidden says that somebody that's looking for uh only stringencies of bet Shi and only stringencies of bet is a fool that's like a blind person walking in darkness but someone that's looking only for leniencies of Bai and only for leniencies of bet is a wicked person so it depends uh you're allowed to look for leniencies uh you know when a leniency is permissible according to Al not people just create their own leniencies and just look uh for whoever is most leaning they're going to listen to him no each person has to have a a rabbi that they listen to uh uh you know uh for everything that they say not a rabbi for this a rabbi for that the rabbi for this rabbis are not a shopping list each person has to have you know one Rabbi that they listen to they ask the questions they follow their teachings and that's it so if these people that are uh you know uh going you know uh uh finding loopholes like you're like you're writing they're finding loopholes if the loopholes are self-invented self-created then certainly they're not uh doing the right thing if the loopholes are as a result of them listening to different types of rabbis for different things looking for loopholes it's also not right uh but if it's permissible loopholes uh that we call leniencies that are according to the uh the law itself then it's no problem again it depends it depends on uh who what when how means weekday is like Monday can be an descended from absolutely what is my opinion on Evolution well it's not my opinion my opinion is irrelevant the opinion of T the opinion of the Torah about evolution is that there are certain things that uh do change throughout time but it's certainly nowhere near what the scientists and the theorists and the theists and all types of ISS would like for people to believe that it uh the world uh started from some bang and then somehow uh the bang that came from nothing uh eventually uh there was some type of little cell that went through the process of meiosis or mitosis and replicated itself and then uh somehow that cell you know that became some cockroach and eventually the Cockroach decided that it wants to eat bananas so became a you know became a a uh a monkey but some of the monkeys didn't really want to be monkeys anymore hanging on trees they wanted to swim so therefore they turn into dolphins and whales and then some of them decided that it's too wet they don't really like it they prefer to get some Sunan so they decided to go on the beach and thereby they decided to you know they turn into the little uh crabs over there and some of them didn't like how small crabs are especially since you're hanging out on a beach you're not really productive so they got off the beach and they turned into dogs and the dog didn't really like to just Chase his own tail all day so he became a cat and the cat was just tired of chasing a ball all day so he wanted to chase something else so he became a tiger and then what is the tiger going to do without you know turning into you know having having some type of deer some type of zebra somebody to kill so but I don't want to turn into the zebra so they had to make they had to make a lottery which one of the Tigers going to turn into the zebra which one of the Tigers going to turn into into the uh uh you know the uh the Deer uh which one so after many many many billions of years of consideration of who's going to turn from the tiger into the uh the deer eventually the M was over M was over because everybody died but somebody turned and then they started hanging out in the jungle and they said listen guys this is too easy all we got to worry about is a tiger is a lion ah it's nothing we need to make something that's like you know better better than everything else what what do you think what do you think what do you make a bigger animal no we already tired of the animals we got to make something bigger what what else something that we've never seen before something that is so horrible so terrible it's actually going to kill just for fun not even for food who kills just for fun what are they crazy what are they animals no we're animals oh so what is it well what we only kill because we're hungry no no we got to turn into something that actually kills just for fun and what there Evolution came up with a human being one of the deer and the cats and the dogs and the and the monkey don't forget about the monkey that went became a dolphin they all congregated together transformed like transforming you guys the effects and thereby came me I came now I've been here for all of those millions of millions of years and there's just as much proof of that as you have for the story I just gave you as you have the stories that all the scientists gave you why CU it's all Hocus Pocus nonsense entertaining though but absolutely nonsense now as fact as that certain breeds of dogs have been influenced by science have been influenced by manipulation that's a given it's not a big deal and the fact that there are certain uh breeds of horses and and all types of things it's not a problem but that doesn't mean that everything started from nothing that or from some amiba and that turned into something else or that people came from that all that stuff is complete nonsense so if a person believes that there is a God then there's no reason for evolution to exist why because if God is the same God of the tah that means he's not limited and therefore he does not need to make everything from nothing just like the torat tells us in the mid that man the first Man was created complete and grown up he wasn't uh the first man was not created an infant he didn't create him as a sperm cell and hopefully looking for some egg okay he made him he didn't make him into a baby that was looking for for his mommy he made him as a 20year old male same thing with the female he didn't make uh the the first man wait you know uh for forat to grow up over the next 20 years and then eventually he's going to marry her no she also was created as a full grow grown woman full grown man full grown woman same concept with all of the animals you didn't make the uh the animals all infants and uh you know just pretty much little embryos everywhere little uh things that are just you know hoping to survive the winter no everything was created complete full self-sufficient self-sufficient now since then has there been major things that have happened to the world sure the Torah itself mentioned it you have No No's flood the entire world was traumatized by a major disaster unlike anything else the world has ever seen before or after that certainly uh a person that analyzes that could see that that in itself that in itself changes everything number one if you're still one of the fools that follows the carbon 14 or any of the other dating theories that have already been proven to be false but even if you want to say that the world has things that uh show that it's a billion years old a zillion years old or whatever you know whatever the budget allows for it to be in years even if you want to say that that's easily explainable by the fact that the world has gone through trauma the world has gone through trauma now even if you want to say no no no the trauma can't age it that much it can scientifically it's been proven they uh had some people uh tested they showed them some remains of different animals I believe one of them was a monkey another one was something else and that something that was literally into some type of disaster uh that happened 60 years before they dated it in millions of years why because again the way that things uh look after a certain trauma Changes Everything Changes Everything now even if a person says well the the uh the flood uh maybe it made certain trauma to the world but is it that much still even if there was no flood we're back to the same concept of the fact that Hashem created the world he could easily create the world since he's not limited since he doesn't need to follow your textbooks that are full of lies in the schools that they teach the kids the same kids they tell them that he could be a she and she could be a he now this same unlimited omnipresent omnipotent God could simply create a world that's also fully grown that looks like it's a billion years old but it's not necessarily a billion years old so my point is my dear friend is that has there been a change in the world throughout the last several thousand years absolutely look at how much I've changed and you guys only know me most of you only know me for the last 10 15 years less than 15 years 10 plus years that's all you most of you guys know me some of you know me for my old days uh and you know me for a little longer than that but generally speaking look at how much I've changed and I'm not even a fossil yet close to being one but not a fossil yet look how much I've changed but the point is is that the the world has changed people have changed they used to be bigger people they used to be different animals they used to certain things look different in the past but does that mean that the all of the uh evolutionists and the uh the the people that believe in evolution that consider themselves evolutionist just simply because they like to watch YouTube videos about Evolution uh this does that mean that everything is right no does that mean that even the majority is right no does that mean that uh even half of it is right no a small minority of things are correct but most of the things that are out there are simply theories and not facts and a person has to know the difference between the two theories are never facts they're simply never facts so if a person looks at facts there's proof of certain things if certain looks at some uh uh things that are represented in evolution sometimes they're presented as facts even though they're really only theories so it's important to know the difference but as far as the uh Evolution there have been changes the Torah mentioned certain things about changes even though the whole concept of the expanding universe that's in page 12 a talks about how Hashem started the world he was only him and then he started the world with a single point and he roared and they well it was expanding and he roared and had it stop expanding this was the universe uh and this is why he's called the uh the god of el shakai the shin dalit and theud is uh is one of the names of of God and that's because he is the god that said die meaning he's the god that roared and said enough no more expansion so again even though the scientists are going to tell you oh it's continuing to expand it's continue to expand the point being is there is endless amount of falsehood out there uh there is some things that are true uh and the one thing I could assure you if it's in the Torah it's 100% true if it's in science it's not always true and sometimes science catches up to the Torah uh and actually both end up being uh you know having like uh um factual information but that's not because science is right rather it's because science finally caught up to what Torah already has take a couple more questions Rabbi what was the religion of the Hebrews before Moshe brought the laws ofah were they once Idol worshippers uh yes and no uh meaning that we already had the teachings the oral Torah already from adamar as the uh Torah itself tells us that hem says I love Abraham because he uh follows my uh my my my Torah and he teaches his kids now this is obviously a is before Moshe but yet hasem says that he follows his tah so how is he following the Torah it's because there was an oral Tora there was an oral tradition that we already had from creation that's where we had the seven Noah hide laws that's the teachings now the uh uh forefathers abrah yov the Z says that were following the entire T already before they were even obligated uh but the rest of the righteous people that are among of the uh among the Israelites uh they were following the uh noahide laws uh with certain things certain additions that uh the they had as a uh uh certain exceptions to certain people but as far as the um uh idolatry we already know that uh Abraham's father was an idol worshipper and uh there was many idolators in in Egypt am Isel uh were Idol worshippers in Egypt Egyptians were Idol worshippers and unfortunately the Jews uh the Israelites uh followed suit uh and some of them were so wicked that they brought their Idols uh with them out of Egypt but of course uh hasem destroyed this and uhm we will eventually destroy all idol worship that's in the world for the bed de by where you are has a 12h hour conversion process 12h hour exam no that's not normal there not do I have any advice for somebody who's trying to do chuva yes you should go to our website bash.org go to the ebook section and download the Bal Chua guide there's a BAL Chua guide it's a full of information that's going to be very very useful for you lectures book recommendations lots of information that's going to help you uh do chva and get closer to AEM it's free uh uh what's the best way for noahide couple to get to marry I mean simply live together uh you don't need to have a um like any type of religious ceremony uh just live together be faithful to each other honest that's it you're married and if you want to have a get together with some people that are in know family and friends of yours there's no problem doing that as long as you know it's it's not going to cause other people to become uh adulterers and and then so on but yeah as far as the requirement simply uh live together the best effects oh you like my effects see good good uh cross breeding between creatures no cross breeding is not effective most most cross breeding leads to death uh of the uh animal or actually the uh they become sterile and they're no longer able to reproduce so no crossbreeding is not uh not something that you could contribute to help evolution Rabbi do you have a plans to make a class in Queens New York well I live in Florida I used to live in New York but I live in Florida already for the last uh I don't know 10 12 years something like that and uh if anybody wants to do a big class in Florida that's much easier uh than flying to New York um even though I'm actually coming to New York and uh not for classes purposes though but uh I am coming to New York for a few days uh but as far as um as far as um coming to New York to do classes uh or California or many of the places that people ask me to go to I don't really have a problem going there but I'm only going to go there if it's a you know if people arrange an event um you know I have a lot to do I have an organization to run I have employees I have students I have studying to do I'm have a pretty busy schedule so for me to just to to get on the plane and go and entertain 1015 people it's it's simply too much uh it's not it's not not something for me to do uh people if it's just 10 15 people or 20 people then you could watch online but if you could arrange a few hundred people uh you know you could arrange an event or a few events uh then by all means you could send us an email at events at BH tor.org tell us about uh what you want to do what's the uh what's the plan how you plan on doing it and we could certainly arrange something but as far as for me to just get on a plane and uh you know and come to a Sho and hope that people come and hope that people uh you know uh you know I'm not alone there uh or that uh there's going to be more than 10 people I just don't have uh I don't have the ability to do that I know there are some some uh many rabbis that do that I'm just not one of them I'm just not one of them I'm not I don't really uh um just never really uh been able to do such a thing but if you want to arrange an event you could get you know a lot of people by all means I'll be more than happy to go wherever it is uh is it against the toah for nohide wom to learn the Jewish intimacy from the rabbi's lectures I actually talk about Noyes in the lectures so there are certain parts that are relevant to noahides as much as they are to Jews and there are certain parts that are not so I mentioned that in the lectures how about you traveling to Israel soon I don't know um why do the sages uh live hundreds of years and now humankind lives only maybe 112 years uh well they fulfill their purpose for a longer period of time they required a longer amount of time to fulfill their purpose unfortunately most people today live a purposeless life uh and in fact they make more more sins every single day so it's to their interest that they live a shorter life because if they live longer they'll make even more sins they'll have even more uh more of a punishment but if somebody's uh lives a you know a full life and is able to fulfill their purpose um they don't necessarily need 400 years I'd like to watch your streams far from the synagogue thank you for learning with us we have all types of people learning with us we have people from all over the world we have all types of people we have people that are um new to Judaism uh doing chuva people that are looking to convert people that are no hides we have people that are from from birth always have been religious Jews people from Yeshiva younger older there's actually several serious that are watching the videos there's a few rabbis there also L watching the video some teachers uh men women there's many many people watching the shim uh and I think that anyone that watches the lectures and pays attention uh to them and you know the more they apply to their life the more they'll benefit not because I'm saying it simply because this is all from the Tor so the more you're able to take from these lectures the more you'll uh improve your life but there's all types of people that are watching these lectures there's some there's some there's some Safar there's even some kabik that love my lectures that are very very big fans uh even though some people think that kabad and I are enemies which is completely false uh even though I have serious uh problems with some of them it's not kabad as a whole there certainly many students from there that we have that are big fans that are supporters that watch our lectures uh on a regular basis uh but as far as um uh as far as people there's literally people from all walks of life uh that watch the and it's always amazes me when people contact me they tell me a little bit about themselves and it's just amazing to me how these people uh watch the lectures we have some people that are actually descendants of you know uh that watch the lectures uh you know that we've talked about some of them in the past uh so it's uh it's amazing it's amazing that hm gave us the to learn Torah to teach Torah and to share it around the world and uh one of the greatest things that you guys can do for yourselves and for for us is share these lectures with as many people as you possibly can on a regular basis even if you just take five 10 minutes a day five or 10 minutes a day just to pre go to our channels or go to our uh you know WhatsApp group or Whatsapp page and just share these lectures with as many people as you can for just a few minutes every day if you do that every single day I could certainly assure you you'll have a lot more blessings in your life and a lot you know a lot of good is going to come to your life why because again it's it's a uh it's something that's spreading tah that's effective that's helpful that is true and it's authentic and it's a it there nothing greater that a person can do than share uh Torah that's actually going to help people get closer to hasem so if you could spend if you can make literally a commitment to uh to yourself to to Hashem that you're going to take five or 10 minutes every single day and simp share our lectures uh on a regular basis you'll you you'll see how your life transforms it's if if you do that for 3 four months don't be surprised if you have at least one miracle in your life happened don't be surprised when are you coming I don't really want to talk about when I'm coming to New York just simply because I don't have any lectures uh uh planned and I I don't want people to get offended if I say that I can't meet them personally because I'm not going there for myself I'm going there for for a family uh issue not going to do if if I find a way to to uh uh in time to do a lecture whenever I travel anywhere I certainly will be the first one to tell everyone uh but uh if I go on different trips different uh for for for personal reasons I don't tell the world about it because I don't want people to get confused or get offended if I'm already in town why didn't I do this why didn't I do that there's there's uh you know there's different reasons of why I do what I do uh and I don't necessarily care to share every move that I make to the world if you live in a city where conversion is impossible is it a Mitzvah to move sure why if you want to convert and you can't convert where you are then you have to move if a if a woman has problems in a stomach what can she take upon herself to cure it besides well she has to be if she's not no BL no uh no Zula no blessing is going to work a woman that's not modest is blocking her self from receiving blessings so if she's not if she's not modest it doesn't matter what Rabbi she goes to for a blessing it won't help her why because Hashem says uh that if a he sees the second he sees immodesty he runs away which means that doesn't matter who's blessing you Hashem is not there to fulfill it so first rule is to be modest first thing now if she's modest already then I would say the most effective tool that exists in the world that brings Miracles is to publicize uh tah specifically discussing uh morality like the lectures and the about t about modesty uh you know things that are strong strong M that actually gets people to change their life those things in so many words spreading the kiru that uh that that we've done I've seen people that take it seriously it's made amazing Miracles amazing Miracles I've told you guys about some of them uh over the years we've had uh people have health Miracles uh literally they were dying and they're alive and well we've had people that had uh uh major issues major issues uh also people that had money issues marriage issues loneliness issues drug issues all types of things once they took kiru on it uh it made major Transformations the only people that it didn't work for for people didn't take it seriously that's the only people I didn't work for uh but as far as how long does a person have to do it for that's the accounting is done in sham some people have to do it for a month before they get a miracle some people have to do it for a year some people have to do it for five years point is is that the more you sacrifice for the sake of getting closer to hem getting am to know the truth about morality the more hasem is going to transform your life into the ideal and most most extraordinary uh blessed life that exists you'll be on a straight path to that gun Eden we talked about today uh but uh if a person thinks that they're going to get uh you know major miracles to happen in their life uh just uh for you know for for a discount for you know for a quick little thing for a quick little Shabbat that they keep or a quick little kosher meal they support they think they're going to get it doesn't work that way usually uh the says says it about the Tora in general that the uh the reward is is uh based on the sacrifice the more sacrifice the more the reward are you still going to Torah anytime again no I don't I left Torah anytime in 2017 and you don't plan on going back why would I go back I don't understand we have our own app we have our own website we do things that they don't do why what benefit do I have to go and publicizing my lectur to somebody else's website I don't really understand why people ask that is there a specific prayer or powerful prayer words that we can do for the people in Israel the land of Israel during this time yeah kiru the more you support kiru the more you support uh what we're doing here the more you support people having the ability to discover AEM to discover to uh to get the USBs to get the books to to to watch these lectures to to do all the things that uh we're doing here the more a person supports it the more they're supporting the opportunity for people to do chuva in Israel and around the world and the stronger am becomes you know I had this discussion with a uh a rabbi the other day about uh what's the most important thing right now and initially he had a different thought of what the most important thing is until we discussed a few items about kiru and how if there is more kiru then all of the other things that he said are important will end up happening anyway whereas if only the things that he said uh happen it's not necessarily going to turn us us into um a more righteous people and uh and more religious people uh so in the beginning we were on two sides of the fence at the end of the discussion we both agreed that K is clearly the most important thing for people to support today uh to help more people do Chua that's the most important thing Okay I uh think we've learned enough that uh I think it give you guys a little bit of a catchup of uh What uh what we can digest until we learn again I don't know when the next Sher is going to be not because it's not going to be for a long time I just don't know if I'm going to have any lectures next week at all it's possible but unlikely but if not will be back uh the following uh

will be hearing from us different things that are coming up uh the new books the new uh um application uh and lots of new ideas so BM join the uh WhatsApp group join the you know the the all the different groups that we have uh the email list all that stuff so you can get the updates and know what's going on uh lastly anyone that wants to support you can donate at BH torah.org BH torah.org
