Rabbi Yaron Reuven's Unbelievable TeShuva Story

Hashem will open the world for you in a way that you could never imagine. Anyone that would have known me 10 years ago, forget 10 years ago, seven years ago, six years ago, 5 years ago, a year ago and would have told me I would be here today. I would have told you you should write comic books. But you have a vivid imagination. I'm going to be a rabbi. I'm going to learn Tawa. I'm going to help people all over the world do Chuva. You out of your mind? >> And best of all, for free. [laughter] I make $3,000 an hour. I'm going to do it for free. I WAKE UP in the morning just to wake up. I get $3,000. What do you get? What are you talking about? I'm going to work for free. Your mother's going to work for free. Why going to work for free? What are you talking about? That's what I would told you. That was me to open my eyes. To open my eyes $30,000. I'm going to work for free and I'm going to help other people make do chuva. What do I care about? I didn't do chuva. I'm going to help people do cha. Keep Shabbat. I don't keep Shabbat. What are you talking about? Don't write comic books, kid. I'll even invest in them. You have such a good imagination. Here's $25,000. Good luck, kid. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? If you would have told me, hey, you know, one day you're not going to be in pain 24 hours a day. You're not going to be in hospitals every single week. I say, "Kid, two comic books. One for the Wall Street one and one for uh I don't know uh science fiction something. You kid, you you're the best. You're the best. Here's 50,000." What are you talking about? I'm going to do this. What's wrong with you? Could change the world in a second. In a second. I've seen it with my own eyes, on my own skin, and in many, many other people's eyes. in many many other people's lives. People that literally when they fir when I first met them, they were crack addicts. Not an expression, literally crack addicts. You know, the worst injecting themselves every day. Today, they're living a life you could only admire. You could only admire. Wife, kids, money, everything you want in this world. And that's not even that they only care about. They what they care they have au people that came from the the the tuma of the tuma Christianity worshiped an idol every single day today I have little kids little cute kids with payers and everything they wake up in the morning instead of saying they say why I'm where they come from the church what three four five years ago if you would have told him that five years ago I said listen I'll double what he's investing in you comic books what are you talking about but that's what does says you open for me s a opening the eye of a needle the size of the eye of the needle I'll open for you a world what's the kush the kush If you look at it, the word amam, which is like a hole, is spelled with a al if world spelled with a. Now, ulam doesn't only mean like a wedding hall or or or or something like that. Ulam was also the section inside the beta mikdash right outside the kesh keshim. That was also a section of beta mikdash called amam right outside the kesh which is right next to the kesh keshim. So what is hashem giving us here? He's saying you open for me a little prayer. You pray with you PRAY WITH YOU PRAY with you read a few because you care about them. You go to A EVEN IF YOU'RE tired a little opening says I'm going to treat it as if you've arrived to the beta mikdash the third one not the first or the second the third one you have arrived to it and you and I are meeting eye to eye. You and I are talking whatever you want. Show me you're serious. That's how much wants us to do chuva. Which means if you do chuva, you're not only the smartest person in the world, you're the luckiest. You don't do chva, you're the dumbest and unluckiest person in the world. There's only two options. Says, I'll give you the whole world on a silver platter for things that don't cost much, don't require much, just a little effort. small little eye of a needle, you don't take advantage of it, you deserve the punishment. And that's why say in Shamim after Hashem shows the everything that he did and what he could have had, the tells Hashem, Hashem, please put me in Gum. The Rasha asks for it. Why he's so embarrassed? He's so embarrassed at how stupid he is for not doing chuva. So the answer is no matter what you did, you can still do chuva as long as you're alive. But the second a person is no longer alive, there's no chuva in shamine. There's no more chuva. But here you could do chuva. No matter what you did, wasted seed. Even if you worship an idol, even if you worship idols, which is like the worst thing you could do, you instead of worshiping Hashem, you worship this cup, you replaced with a cupad says, "You did I'll accept it." That's how much he loves you while you're in this world, though. You finished? Finished. Finished. That's why every single Jew needs to beg Hashem. Beg Hashem to accept his cha. Cry toad every single day for accepting his chva. Cry toad every single day for allowing him to do chuva. Allowing her to do chuva. to put on every single day and every second you're alive is a mitzvah. Put on a tit and every single minute that you're alive is a mitzvah. Read a little Torah, listen to some real Torah on the internet or live and every single second you hear, you're doing a mitzvah. For that, there's no end to the gratitude we owe. To be honest with you, it's the only reason I'm here. As much as I like all of you, I'm only here for him because he likes you. I could do this at home. I could do a video at home. I go in my in front of my computer camera and I can reach just as many people on the internet just by simply being at home in my pajamas. But since he loves each and every single one of you much more than I could ever love you much more than I could even love my own kids, I come. Why? Because he loves you and you're his kids and I love him and therefore I have to love you also. That's why I tell you if you're already in a shu pay attention. It's for you. It's for you. The whole sh it's not for me. for me. I can do it at home. It's for you. This is a kad who designed the world in a certain way to send somebody through gay and back for years in order to arrive here today and give you a shield. He's custom made the world just for you to have a shield today. That shows that Hashem loves you. We are meant to be [music] a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. [music] Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless. It's [music] aili disrespect to the Torah.
