SELF SACRIFICE

[Music] well a person that's a person that's Jewish is not allowed to live on an island by himself meaning he has to become part of a community he has to do everything possible to become part of a Jewish community and a Jewish community means that there is a synagogue a Orthodox synagogue with a rabbi there's a Jewish school for the kids the rambam writes if there's no Jewish school in a city that city has no right to exist that's the so that means that there has to be a Jewish a synagogue a place to pray a PR for a place for the Next Generation to learn and become to become and he has to learn from he can't just learn with just his friends because they like it and he likes it and she likes it it's not a good thing why because who says you're right who says that you're a you like it but who says that you like something that's right maybe your understanding is wrong so you need to have a that it's in essence telling you which way is Right which way is wrong plus how are you going to serve AEM how are you going to pray during the holidays how are you going to what are you going to what are you going to do aan by yourself there's no minan by yourself you know during the holidays y that's coming up you have to listen to the you have to do all types of different things that are only done in the during thek you have you have to have the you have to have the if you live in an Island by yourself there's no Community where you going to get these things from do you even know what to do with them so a person that wants to live a koser Jewish life has to live in a Jewish Community now of course there are times in a person's life that he's going to move around and there's not going to be something there at that moment but as long as there is something coming in the very near future it's being worked on there's money being gathered there's people being gathered and something's going to coming in the near future that's fine that's fine CU sometimes am would have to travel from place to place and restart all over again but if a person simply says no I was born here I'm going to die here if there's if a God wants there to be a synagogue here he'll bring it here type of mentality okay buddy we'll see if you have that the guts to say that to when you get up there you have to make sure you do whatever you can to go find the Torah go chase the Torah and the problem is today is that people think that owes them something like if he wants me to be religious why don't he send the rabbi here if he wants me to be religious why don't he send the community here if he wants me to be religious why he make everybody else agree that doesn't work that way if wanted robots he create robots one of the most important that a person needs to know about is the is not an easy mitvah by default it's the opposite what is self sacrifice self sacrifice for hasem now question comes in the page 53b says when do you know that you are a Avid AEM a servant of hem everybody thinks that they're a servant of hem as soon as they put a keeper on or a long skirt a dress maybe maybe a everything no no I'm a servant of hem all day I'm watching sh yeah you're a servant of hem you have to test yourself how do you know you're a servant of hm I pray doesn't mean you're servant of hm I learn T doesn't mean you're servant ofm I do doesn't mean you're servant ofm who servant of M was servant of hm was servant of but you're also obligated to be servant of hmm how do you know we're all obligated to beem the ladies the men everybody not to be everybody in their own level but the point being we're obligated to do it how do you know you're there how do you know you get how' you get there as soon as you come to the conclusion that you're going to do what hasem said even when you don't want to that's when you start understanding the role of an evidem if your servitude of hem is only on your conditions you are as far from being an evem as bam was if you are going to serve AEM only when it fits your agenda only when it fits your schedule only when it fits your budget only when it fits your lifestyle you're not an evid you're just another person that maybe and evid doesn't have his own or her own will and evid has the will of the master now of course it doesn't necessarily mean that he wants to do it but he's going to do it because the master said so so that means that the master said wake up early in the morning I don't want to wake up in the morning who wants to wake up early in the morning no one wants to wake up early in the but the master said to wake up early in the morning so guess what you have to do you want to be in evidem you have to wake up early in the morning you don't want to be in em or you want to pretend pretend wake up at 12 1 2 3 5:00 wake up go ahead pretend in your head means you have to learn T yeah but I don't like to learn T okay so you're not going to no no no but I want to be okay I learn to when I get a chance that's not I learn to when I have time that's not I learn to when I'm in a good mood it's not I learn T when I feel good it's not you know what evem is you learn T even when you don't want to even when you're sick even when you feel like you're about to die die even when you feel like you're on fire even when you are tired even when you are busy even when you hate it even when you don't understand it even when you simply want to run away you know what you do you learn to that's an em yeah but I feel like I'm wasting my time perfect just do it yeah but I'm not benefiting out of it no you're benefiting you're being an EV AEM yeah but I'm not learning anything I'm learning I'm reading reading reading I don't understand a single word perfect who said you have to understand who said you have to understand what command learn T learn to he didn't say you have to understand learn to obviously tried to understand but learn to yeah but why don't I just go read like I don't know a kids book or something if that's to in that kid book read it but if it's not to then read what you're reading why because that's what wants you to do but it's hard perfect that's perfect evid what do you think it's easy job for the evid and is a person that when someone insults him when someone yells at him especially when it's his wife especially when it's her husband and she knows AEM doesn't want me to respond AEM doesn't want me to curse back but I want to I want to curse him to make sure his mother is reminded of what I think of him I want to do something to this person that he's going to remember for the next three generations but you know what I'm going to do nothing why because AEM doesn't want me to do it I want to do it and I actually think he deserves it what am I going to do nothing I'm going to sit quiet T I love you honey why he's cursing me yes show me your I love you so much you're so cute when you curse you're so adorable what do you want to eat what do you want to eat you want salad with the steak whyem wants me to stay like this why cuz if I fight with him you know what's going to happen it's going to get worse so I'm going to do what hasem wants me to do but hasem wants me to do stay quiet yeah but he's insulting you publicly he's writing stuff against you on the internet he wrote eight nine 10 articles about you he called you names he did this what do you mean why don't you tell him back why for what purpose to show who who am I showing did he insult AEM no he insulted you who cares about me if he insulted AEM that's something for me to respond to insulted me cares about that why AEM it's all the thing only matters means that you're going to do a bunch of stuff that you don't want to do whyem wants you to do it and as soon as we realize that that's the
