[Music] I give you another mitvah from this Mitzvah is something that's there are certain congregations that got to a lot of money in previous generation and because when a man has a lot of money women want to marry him even if they don't like him all of a sudden he's smart he's good-looking he's smart he's good-look he's smart he's good-looking and what else he's funny too and sadik so what happen so certain K had a lot of money and unfortunately not a lot of so not all the members had and uh they started marrying Goot so they in order they weren't welcom in the in a community so the community said listen you have to convert them so we convert but it would be fake converts fake converts so after the rabbis the holy rabbis of these very same congregations said this is becoming a serious problem there's too many fake converts we're making a Tak we're making a new law we're not accepting converts anymore not accepting converts why we continue like this we're not going to know who's who's who's nothing we're not going to know so they made Tak that original mitvah was fine no problem temporary situation to fix things to put it back into order where did it go wrong it was never undone it was never undone so these same congregations continued and after the holy rabbis died the new rabbis made things much worse instead of being and stringent on instead of being and stringent on instead of being stringent on modesty what do they pick as the one mitvah they're going to be the most stringent of all we do not accept converts in our kot so they have signs at the entrance of their synagogue no converts allowed you know like in the previous generation in America it say no black people allowed you have a bus for black people you a bus for white people here you have this is in a secular world this is in a world you expect that from people you don't expect it from they have signed we don't accept converts even more if you are a convert and you come there they kick you out not only they accept they kick you out so a recent event that happened that made me want a vit is one student went to a mik Rabbi says who are you this first time she went to mik who are you you're convert yes don't come here again kicks her out of the mik now if that wasn't bad enough if you think about it the most intimate part of a Jewish woman's life is the mik if you want to destroy a Jewish woman you want to destroy a Jewish n you ruin this mitzvah for her a woman comes everyone knows what happens after the M everyone knows this woman is trying to be righteous everyone knows this is a very personal and this says get out not welcoming our mik CU you're a convert now if this was was not bad enough my friends it got worse recently another student went to a mik took a shower in the mik to get ready for the mik ready for the mik you have to be clean you have to be ready you can't just go it's not a pool ready for the mik with towel and all about to go in all of a sudden the the the the woman that's handling the mik all of a sudden she wants to beik wait wait are you a convert by any chance what difference does it make what is the water going to be any more or less if I'm in it or not all of a sudden you want to ask me about my background what difference does it make you Wicked person who told you to ask such a question all you're supposed to do is just make sure there's no nothing is getting in the way of the mik shut up you're not supposed to talk do your job be aik if you're going to ask people about their personal life go find another job work in a supermarket she asked this woman if she's a convert she happened to be a convert she goes hold on one second the woman is dripping water she goes to the rabbi of this congregation in and the Rabbi says no get her out of here they kicked the woman out of the mik after the shower if this wasn't bad enough my friends let me explain to you how bad it is if someone that's an idol worshiper Idol worshipper someone that's Idol worshipper wants to bring aan a sacrifice to the bet mikash he's an idol worshiper but he wants to bring a Corban to the BET mikdash to guide house we accept it idol worship wants to bring Corban to the BET mikdash to God's house we accept it but Jews are not going to accept another Jew to go into the mik if that doesn't boil your blood you're probably not Jewish and they think this is a mitvah are you surprised we have so many natural disasters are you surprised do we have so much suffering we think that kicking out a righteous Jew that's mentioned to have special protection in the Torah 36 times more than a natural-born Jew hasem says a Jew I'm his father a convert an orphan a wa on the father and the mother they're higher level than a natural born Jew the ram says convert you have to love the convert not like a regular Jew you have to love him like you love God you have to love the convert like you love God meaning more than a natural born Jew and you're going to tell me you're not going to accept this convert to your mik to your fancy mik with the water that God gave you and you think this is a mitzvah you think this is a mitvah if the Satan doesn't have his signature onik I don't know if I'm a human being 100% Satan is signing off on this and laughing his way to the bank and we think we're doing mitv if you can accept thisan you can accept from an idol worshipper but you don't accept a Jew that just gave up his whole life her whole life to go into youra to pray with you to go into your mik you're not going to accept him because he's a convert she's a convert I'm surprised hasm doesn't destroy the world just for such a thing last but not least these very same ranim aligned to God in his face every day three times a day no less how it says on the ones that have never sinned theik and the the pious people the remainder of your nation the remainder of your Scholars the converts the righteous converts and then us meaning us wherever we are we're below the converts it's all levels of righteousness highest less and so on and so forth we Al means us we're the last before us comes the converts it says in you say three times a day God give us mercy God give us good reward God give us a portion of this world the next World give us something how how can you say this in God's face every day when you just kicked out the convert that's higher than you from the B from the mik how you're lying to God in his face what will you do when the msia comes and he tells you to your face I'm sorry I can't accept you to Arion to the Mount to Mount Zion I can't accept you why but for I'm a rabbi I have a k we learn T every day mashia is going to tell you I can't accept you my friend because you're not my friend you're my enemy why but I kept Shabbat I kept I kept I kept this I kept that I kept I gave why can't you accept me why can't you protect me it's the end of times atomic bombs on top of us why can't you protect me and the mashia is going to tell you because you rejected my grandmother Ruth what was she she was a convert the Mia's Grand grandmother is a convert you're going to tell them no no you didn't accept my grandmother she wasn't good enough to go in your mik you're not good enough to go into lying to God every day if that's not aah what is [Music]
