[Music] but then it says be prepared and accustom yourself to speak all of the things you say all of the things you say gently meaning whether you're teaching Torah or you're teaching math or you're talking business or you're doing whatever it is that you're doing make sure you do it gently what does it mean gently we have to whisper how come I'm yelling sometimes how come I raise my voice sometimes how come the biggest rabbis in history when they spoke the world heard the Ben Shalom every Shabbat he had a lecture over 10,000 people now in those days there was no microphones but every single person heard his voice 10,000 people 10,000 people you're talking about a stadium every single person all the way in the back heard every single word that he said as if he's talking to his ear after the Ben died his sonov took over and he started giving a lecture and the same 10,000 people showed up and he starts talking and half the people say we can't hear you we can't hear you speak louder louder he tries to speak louder and they complain we can't hear you we can't hear you speak louder he I can't he was losing his voice already so well we heard your father how come we can't hear you he says no when my father spoke was speaking speaking through his throat why when somebody is putting his whole life his whole into something is gonna make sure that you're going to hear it he says I'm not on the level of my father you sad his honor is in his place but he wasn't his father everybody knows that so then people will ask me and they write on the YouTube how come you're yelling how come Shalom was yelling you hear every again one of the greatest rabbis that ever lived every simple stuff yelling you could hear it in a different country he built community ities he didn't help people do Chu only literally there are communities all over the world that he built because of his lectures one of the greatest rabbis that ever lived again built communities you hear him talk about simple issues yelling his lungs out how come so somebody one time asked when you pray how come you yell all the time how come you yell when you teach you pray why you yell so much so took his right hand he in his face woke him up gu said ah Rabbi I just asked a simple question I didn't know rabbi's hit so the rabbi looks he goes why you screaming why are you screaming so the guy says we're hurt he goes exactly when it hurts you scream he says it hurts me to see is acting like go it hurts me to see is going against their father in Heaven it hurts me to see is burning their own it hurts so when it hurts you scream says in page 84 in a place that is a place that there's a desecration of name you don't even have to consider any honor for even a rabbi meaning that if you see even a rabbi doing the wrong thing desecrating aem's name you can embarrass that Rabbi in public why's name is before everything else so now this answers the question of why do we sometimes raise our voice it's not for entertainment purposes if I wanted to entertain you trust me I could do many other things I trained over 135 kidss just like you to become the best salesman in the world I could fluctuate my voice I could sound entertaining I could change my voice I could do a lot of different things with my voice we don't do any of that because this is not for entertainment purposes when we raise our voice it's because we hurt when we raise our voice is because it's painful it's painful to know the truth and then see reality I see the world I see where people are I see how upside down they are I have kids calling me telling me that their rabbis are telling them things that are against the Torah all types of strange things and then I ask him you sure he's a rabbi he goes yeah he's the he's not like a you know Rabbi you found in the streets I said he told you that so you didn't just tell me he told a whole group of us there was eight of us nine of us he said he told you guys this you sure maybe you didn't miss hear him he go no ask one of the other kids so they one of the other kid kid gets on the phone or he comes up to me he goes yeah the same Rabbi he said this sure this Rabbi that this another kid calls me different Rabbi say oh yeah listen Rabbi have all these questions he starts asking questions and I ask I'm like listen you're only 14 15 years old how do you have these questions he goes well it's not really my questions it's my teacher's questions I said I thought you went to Yesa these questions usually come from atheists no problem answering the questions we have answers to those questions but why is your teacher asking atheist questions in Yesa he go oh because my teacher is an atheist I said you're a teacher in Yesa is an atheist he says yeah I I asked him five times the same question I couldn't believe I'm what do you mean how does an atheist teach Ana about God he goes no he doesn't teach about God he teaches about science I said why in Yesa why is he why he goes no he's uh he's one of the teacher doesn't teach Torah I said does the principal Thea know that he has an atheist teaching goes yeah he knows I say so how come he didn't fire him he goes oh well they had a deal that as long as he doesn't teach us about atheism I said yeah but obviously he is he goes yeah he doesn't know that maybe he doesn't know it so I called the tell listen you realize that you have an atheist teaching all your kids and they're all coming to me with all types of atheist questions the guy got fired took two weeks though still gave him two weeks notice to ruin the kids point is is that sometimes you see reality and it's very very painful very painful you see what people are being taught today and it's complete garbage that's why I always tell people don't be spiritually lazy if you're going to learn something already make sure you get a source for what you learned that you can see that it's God's opinion and not the rabbi's opinion because if it's God's opin opinion then you know you have to do what it says if it's the rabbi's opinion you could agree or disagree don't be lazy and just assume that what he said is right or what he said is wrong double check because your life depends on it and don't be scared if he raises his voice once in a while and don't be impressed if he's a very Sleek speaker because sometimes you hear people speak and they sound like businessmen they sound like they just came off of Wall Street they sound like they just uh they just finished a deal they all slick speakers they use big words they're very proper some of them look like models some of them used to be big rabbis in the UK and they sound sophisticated they wrote several books but in reality any real any real person who knows to listens to what they say and turns it off within 5 seconds because they know that everything they say is garbage so you have to double check you have to double double check for yourself you have to see things for yourself because everything depends on it so when people ask how come how come you yell it's not that you yell because you're angry it's not that you raise your voice because you're angry you yell if it hurts if it hurts you yell when you see hashem's name desecrated you yell [Music]
