[Music] good evening everyone we are few days before sh few few days before the acceptance of the Torah from p sh is time of preparation that we going every day one step higher all the way to the day that we receive the Torah you may ask 3,300 years later what different does it make back then we felt the Holiness of accepting the Torah but today we already have the Torah what's the occasion sh besides having a y what else the answer is that every holiday day has the same spiritual light in heaven just like the time it happened in history PES The Exodus of Egypt the night that we celebrate Le it's the same light the spe same special light that we had back then and shav the day that we accepted the Torah same same light of the day that we accepted the Torah So since today we are few days before sh I'm going to at least start speaking about the night of shavat what's the what's special about that night and then if we have time then we'll speak about other things as you all know when Hashem came to mosenu it was a process first he you know he told him you have to go to par and convince him to send them out of out of MIT and Moshe was refusing it took one week back and forth between between Moshe and Hashem until he finally agreed to go and then when he went there it took many times he keep going and again and again and Hashem started to strike Egypt with the plagues and we we know basically how was the chronological order of the events that H at one point we arrived to Mak that was the night that we came out of MIT and hasem killed the first borns in MIT and we came out of MIT now once we came out of MIT and the Egyptian chased us and they drown after that it took seven weeks exactly until we received the Torah but three days before we got the Torah it was special days Hashem said Hashem said to Moshe I want you to pre prepare the nation to prepare them for the the special for the special day that is going to happen three days everybody has to be holy has to be pure that's the correct word to purify thems how do you purify yourself today we have a you know we have the Torah we have the mitv but now we are talking before the Torah was given how do you purify yourself so hasem said to Moshe that the the way to purify ourself is not to have relation with the wives for 3 days before not to have personal contact any intimate relationship we shouldn't have and the is the is the question that we have to ask right away is why Hashem say to wash all the clothes which means to purify them and uh obviously there was a way to purify yourself so why did we need 3 days before not to have contact with the wives he could have said few hours before I'm going to give you the Torah I want want to go to the mik you have some kind of a lake there something that's obviously you know where you you know washing your clothes and you're getting water purify yourself over there why do you need not to be with a wife for 3 days before and the answer is after 3 days days after a person was intimate with his wife still the effect of the the relationship that they had is still affecting the body of the woman the connection that they have up to there three days the sperm can still make the woman impure even though it it was over even if she washed herself everything whatever happened 3 days later after that it can still keep her imp purified therefore hasem say 3 days before after 3 days the seed is losing his value is not be deserve to to be called Already seed what we call it's already losing his ability and therefore it it doesn't have the status anymore of what it was and after that from then on it's no problem by the way I saw a research that they show that five days after the sperm can still conceive a woman can still make her pregnant five days after it doesn't contradict what the Torah say the Torah didn't say that he cannot just that the Torah said that three days it still make the woman imp purify but after 3 days it doesn't make her anymore T this is the story of the three days it's called that hasem actually puts a limit and he told us that these three days we have to purify ourself to be able to accept the Torah however let's read a little bit how it was from the Torah explain and then we will we'll explain why we have to stay up all night and Sh and learn Tor what's the significance of that so this is the way the way the the Torah it's in in there is a part in the that describe exactly how he accepted the Tor let's focus on some of the words because although we read it many times not always we pay attention hasem comes come to Moshe and he say this is the way he says if you're going to listen to me and you keep my Covenant you're going to be a special Nation to me V in Hebrew comes from the world mugal mugal means able to he has special abilities that others may not have so you're going to be special Nation to me from all the nations because I am the master of the land meaning everyone is under my supervision but from from you I expect something totally different than the Gentiles you are special you have abilities you are the children of Abraham it's and yob you're going to be mugal with special abilities if you but that's conditional make no mistake here all your abilities it's only if you're going to listen to me keep my Covenant then you're going to be a special Nation meaning if you're not listening to me and you don't follow my covenant not only you're not special you are worse than the go why because the go I have very little expectation from them this is what you have to keep seven laws and you're righteous and when you die you go to heaven of the go it's very very easy to be a to be a righteous six of the seven laws they keep anyway one of the laws is very hard that you should not steal anything not even a quarter not even a dollar that's very difficult for everyone not only for the go to be to go in your entire life without stealing almost anything it's very very difficult even a person that is very careful sometimes accidentally may have gazel in his hand he borrow a book he forgot to return all kinds of things like that he use someone's pen without permission it could be or he took someone's pen and accidentally he kept it and then he found it at home and he realized wow where will I find this person this all kinds of things like this may happen to a person but it's very very interesting so they go if they keep the seven laws they go to heaven and that's it and the Jews they may do a lot more than the go and still do not make it to heaven and still God forbid cannot have a share to the world to come why depend what violations they breaking if they violate some of the rules they may have some serious problems so the so continue you're going to be a kingdom ofanim what do you mean a kingdom of means the the meaning of the word is a servant of a holy service a servant of hasem in English the right word for that maybe it's a priest not Christian priest priest in general but this is what it means you're going to be a kingdom of Servants of holy servants the go kados and you're going to be a holy name remember this is all conditional you're only going to be holy if you're going to keep this condition following my Covenant and keeping my mitv then you're going to be a special Nation go kados in Israel the word go you have all the Liberals and all the anti-religion people that when they hear that somebody call a gentile a they get angry they look at that Shalom like is a bad word but this is only pure ignorance the word it's not a bad it's not a bad word it means a nation it means a nation here is an example right here that hasem called the Jewish Nation go but different kind of go go kados holy nation it could be just a nation it could be a holy nation that's it it doesn't mean that a nation is something bad it means somebody from another the word go today in mother Hebrew it means a non-jew it doesn't mean a bad word we say in speeches many many times the righteous go go sadik we say it all the time if go is a bad world how can it be sadik it's just that they like to take something against the speaker or against the religion so they take it presenting it wrong in the Torah it say you're going to be go kados a holy nation and right that after that Moshe brings this request from Hashem to the Jewish nation and they all answer together what do you need to write in the meaning together all we care about is that they all answer that they're going to do what Hashem want what doesn't have to write to us yav yav means everyone together spoke the answer is when you have a crowd sometimes people begin to scream it could be from let's say from a thousand people 20 people begin to scream and all the other 980 people when they see 20 people started to shout they follow them they are called in Hebrew n you have G and you have n gorer mean you toore someone you pull him after you and he is the is pulled meaning it doesn't have his own opinion the wind is Shifting him left and shifting him right he cannot choose Direction so when he sees older brother going to some direction he run away right away will run after him or when you see a person run after a scene right the away he will run after him meaning it doesn't have his own opinion is always moved by other people most of the people in the world that's the way they are in Hebrew there is an expression we say about these people they don't have a spine meaning when you have a spine it balance the body it makes the body stand straight you are in control but you don't have a spine you become like a piece of rubber you don't have your own stability that's just an expression meaning this person is very easy to hypnotize him as soon as as you begin to talk to him you you're going to decide where he's going this is the same way in the election in America they brainwash the people Everyone that speak last is winning the polls he's going to speak tonight and give a beautiful speech tomorrow morning's PS Donald Trump is leading tomorrow morning the other one would come he is now leading why because the majority of the people not only Americans the majority of the people in the world they always influenced by the last thing they heard just as easy it is to influence them it's easy to switch their mind 180 degrees in a minute this is it I see it all the time many times I spoke to people wow unbelievable okay that's it I'm going to start keeping mitv two hours later I just spoke to my brother and this oh he became a again how is it so easy after you saw the proofs right way to go back it shows you that these people cannot really come with their own thinking and they don't have stability and that's why the Torah wants you to know over here it's not that 20% Scream one thing and all the other one follow them because there was like a trend okay if that's what they think let's follow them no no no Y in one second everybody answer together of course we going to do everyone with no exception meaning everyone agre fre to accept and to keep the Covenant and then came and say to hasem their answer and then Hashem said to Moshe I'm coming to you in a in a cloud in thick clouds I want the nation I want the nation to listen to our conversation why why it's important that Moshe hasm will have to talk in front of the entire nation why the answer is because many many times after Judaism started a fake Gentile came and started a fake religion Christianity Islam Buddhism Hinduism Krishna all kinds of Cults and religions that were made by one individual what's the difference between them Torah they never had any conversation with god in public nobody ever witnessed that God gave them a mission that he even spoke to them the only way that people follow them is based on their story Mary came and she claimed she had a dream Muhammad came and he claimed that angel Gabriel gave him the Quran but nobody ever witnessed that Buddha came and he saw he claimed he saw the light he had an Enlightenment but nobody ever witnessed it so right the way the story begin with 50% doubt cuz no one ever witnessed it it's a matter of belief Faith you want to believe believe you don't want to believe it's up to you it will never be able to be proven nobody can prove such thing it's a story nobody ever witnessed it but me and you Hashem say to Moshe I'm giving you the only religion that I have I don't have two religions there's no two truth there's only one the one Divine truth that I'm giving it to you today I'm not going to give it to you in a burning bush when you and me were alone with no Witnesses no I could have given it to you right here with a burning bush and you send you to Egypt with the Torah no I'm not interested I designed a beautiful show I want everybody to hear that I'm speaking to you I want everyone to see that I'm giving you the Torah in a public event that each one of them will witness that I gave you the Torah otherwise it will never ever be the truth why it will always have a question mark I won't be able to judge the people how will I be able to judge the people if they die one day and they come and stand in front of me and I'm going to say to him why you did not keep my laws they will answer to me cuz I wasn't sure if your laws I had a 50% doubt you want me to dedicate my whole life to this story and then in the end it was all baloney what would I do to the person I would have to justify it you're right you're not a fool somebody told you a story and right away you run and believe it so here he was in front of the entire nation and that's when Hashem say make them sanctify them tell them not to go to a woman for three days let them wash their clothes and be ready in the third day tell the nation no one is allowed to go on a mountain once I'm coming down on a mountain no one is allowed to climb on a mountain no one is allowed to touch the mountain with his hand even to touch the sand on the mountain or the Rocks if a person would just reach his arm into the mountain he will be killed instantly this is the warning no one is allowed mhe went down and he came to the nation and he prepared them and they all washed their clothes and they all separated from their wives they went into the mik everything was ready to go and then what happened in the third day early in the morning noises began like Thunders Big Thunders started to become louder and louder Thunders the Anan C heavy clouds alar on the mountain and a began siren today we call it a siren back then they call it called chofar a voice of a chofar but not like when we blow the chauffer in rosashana right away full force No it started quiet after a few minutes a little bit louder and louder and louder try to close your eyes and imagine the event right now early in the morning after anticipations for this special day the most important moment in the history of this world is about to begin first and last time in the history that the creator of the world agreed to come and speak in public it never happened before it only happened to few individuals to Adam to Noah to Abraham to Isaac to Jacob very very few people that's it you can count on one or maximum two hands how many people who had the opportunity to speak to God until that moment and now all of a sudden millions are going to witness it so the chofar the voice is becoming louder and louder all the people started to shake from Fear what do we see over here today it's illegal to scare the Jews if the speaker say something they get nervous from he's done next lecture half of the people don't show up if he's lucky sometimes three quarter right so when Hashem does something one of he knows how he created us and one of the ways to make us pay attention is to put fear in our heart it's not bad it's nothing wrong with that don't follow the people that say fear it's not good I want it love and pleasant I want it with jokes enough with this nonsense the way the Torah is described in every page AEM is interested that we fear Him it says clearly I'm not it's not my interpretation it's simple reading why does the Torah you have to fear God you have to love him you have to fear Him and you should fear me I'm not your friend now I'm giving you Torah why I'm not giving you the Torah with flowers and music violin and some dancers you know and everyone in circles and then the Torah will come down why not why does it have to be noise bombs Thunders you know the Thunders sometimes you hear the Thunders it's breaking the windows it's very scary why has made such a strong Thunders right a wake up call wake up my sons boom an explosion right away person it reminds him of imagine if hasem will get angry at me look at this thunder right the way the fear makes a person do chva right there's nothing wrong with that only today they describe it like it's something directory I always say it's a great honor to be scared of Hashem to be scared of people no it's not no cavod no nothing but to be scared of God it's a great honor the more you scared from him the more intelligent you are the more smart you are the more wise you are the more clever you are you name it it's not a it's not a sign of a stupidity or foolishness it's a sign of greatness if a person is not afraid of God who is he afraid of that means it's not normal if he not normal know what you expect from him so the Torah describe how the Torah was given siren Chau very scary chofar makes a person gives them Goosebumps even today in R you feel Goosebumps all over your body when they blow the chaar and then the floor is shaking the ground and the clouds and fire all over the mountain and explosions why all this but nobody will ever ever dare to forget that moment this moment I promise you those people they never forgot it until the day they died and then Moshe bring them into the mountain he warned them not to go on a mountain Hashem came down on a mountain with fire say how can you be the Tora say you have to stick to God how can you stick to God God is fire that eats everything how can you stick to fire the answer is don't stick literally to God stick to the good rabbis by sticking to them and to the Torah they teach you it count like you stuck with hem together this is what it means right so it says everyone is standing and the voice of the shauer became even more and more and louder and hasem is calling Moshe to the mountain what happened right now AEM gave the Ten Commandments to the Jewish Nation but how he wanted wanted to read all the Ten Commandments loud the problem is that after he finished the second commandment all the Jewish people started to shake they got so scared so they say to Hashem to Moshe please please speak to God you yourself go bring the Torah we cannot handle it it's too scary we cannot and then Moshe said to them don't worry Hashem is not here to hurt you is only here to test you here this is what they said you talk to us don't make hem talks to talk to us if God will continue to talk to us we're about to die from Fear their soul came out their soul came out of their body from fear and M answer don't be scared came to test you Hashem wants his fear to be always on your face that you should not commit any Sin from here from what I'm reading to you in the Torah what is the most productive way to prevent people from committing sins what is it no I want to hear fear that's it what you arguing with what God say you want you know better than him today everyone become a specialist fear won't work fear is the only thing that works we combine together with love it's a wonderful combination yes fear only it's not going to work of course love only it's also not going to work love and fear it's a beautiful combination mayor the this chair was waiting for you already two weeks yeah that's the chair you like no you see nobody there to sit there after you said there directly from where it's a now why do we have to stay up from the story here we don't see anything wrong no not everything is written in the Torah we also have the oral Torah when we go to the oral Torah we find something shocking shocking just before we receive the Torah in the morning the Jews went to sleep Moshe Abraham they snoring in few hours you're supposed to get the Torah how can you go and how can you go to sleep hard to believe such thing you know in few hours you're going to get the Torah from God and God is going to speak to you and Moshe is preparing you don't touch your wife clean yourself wash your clothes make sure there's nothing on your clothes and now you're going to sleep how can it be the adrenaline should have kept them a awake for a week unbelievable they went went to sleep because they went to sleep 3,300 years we are not going to sleep you understand the night of shab to fix what they did wrong you went to sleep in such a crucial moment every night in shab the day that I gave you the Torah you'll be up all night no how you're going to stay up all night this is how it goes this year it's attached to shabbat remember that in Israel you have only one day YT in America or in the rest of the Exile you have two days of yum which makes it much much longer now now you have Shabbat and two more days actually three days in a row like Shabbat although there's some differences between Shabbat and yomtov and yov there's few more things that are more lenient than shab but but at three days shabbaton three days shabat this Saturday night when we do theala when do we do theala inside the K when we actually do K for the Y inside the inside the K we have a part if it's falling on shabat this is what you have to read not only that not only that we make the sud of Y after the K what do we eat we eat meat it's mitvah to eat meat you eat bread you eat meat no problem then we rush to the synagogue or to the Yeshiva the faster you get there the better it is why we have a long tun to read soon I'm going to show you how they they organized the the special tun of sh and we're going to understand why we rush to the synagogue better to be there before 11: you get there you have all the way until 5: in the morning around 5 in the morning they already started to starting to pray 10: to 5 something like that so you have about 6 hours maximum to learn it's not enough if you see how much there is to read and to learn it may not be enough it can only be enough if a person is taking advantage on a night without talking coffee this cigaretes outside 10 minutes and going in and then again 10 minutes and then the thermos and coffee and the coffee didn't come good so he goes back home to prepare a new Turkish coffee and then he comes and he learn half an hour and he puts his head down and then his son is giving him massage ABA wake up the whole six hours 15 minutes he learn you fool all night you're not going to sleep for 15 minutes read 15 minutes at home and go to sleep don't do us a favor if you do it do it right we have a guy from La more or less My AG so he say to me I feel my soul needs to come to the ISA over there in mon I must take a month break from this area here in La so he's been running after me already for 10 days when when can I order the ticket when when when so when I realize that is really serious cuz a lot of people they talk they get excited but I say you ready to come yeah if I if you tell me tomorrow morning I come I order the ticket tomorrow so I say Okay order the ticket but I want to tell you one thing come only in one condition that when you get here you don't waste a minute you come to the you sit all day you learn you don't go in and out phone calls emails cigarettes coffee in and out going to the store going to the shop going here going to the barber if you come for that stay in La if you come here for a month I want this month to be every minute you hear it Torah you ready for it no talking no Boney no JS no Hi how are you nice to meet you what's your name my name forget about this you come for Torah yes or no have to see if I wouldn't be embarrassed I would play he left me a recording I'm more ready than ever that's called reverse psychology reverse psychology if you come to a person and say come come I'm begging you come you should come you should come he may come but he will be with a feeling I'm doing you a favor if you come and say to him don't come don't don't do us a favor stay there if you come it's only in one condition otherwise don't come no of course I want to come you understand that's how the people are let's see now in one week we'll be smarter next Tuesday remind me to to ask me how he how he did in his first week why I'm saying it when a teenager comes to Yeshiva besides some nonsense that he has on his cell phone he doesn't have that much on his mind doesn't have businesses meeting people so he can focus in a Torah after a day or two and sit learn but when a person in this age that have businesses and people and this and meetings he puts everything on hold for a month it's not it's a very hard test because you know what's going to happen as soon as he Lear before he even enter the is an emergency thing in La hey you know the why the Satan is never going to let a person sit and learn Torah so after we see that the nation of Israel almost died from Fear And They begged Moshe raenu please you talk to God we cannot take it we're going to die Moshe answered don't worry it's all a test hasem put fear on you to help you not just to scar you because he sitting there and laughing and enjoying no to help you not to commit a sin so when somebody scare you and it prevent you from using drugs he's a very good person somebody scared you because of that you're not eating cholesterol and you're not getting a heart attack it's a very good doctor if your wife tells you if you're not going to go to sh if you're not going to learn every day I don't want to be married to you just give me a GI and send me free and that's waking you up you don't have a choice so 7:00 in the morning you're in a Shool instead of snoring until midday right so the fear that your wife put on you that's what saved your life so what are you complaining that's a very positive thing now since we have to stay up all night they organize the tun that we going to learn a little bit of each so it starts with Kash that's the basic of the Torah that's the written Torah we start the story of bid and then we go to Noah and all the par little by little from each one until we come to the end of the Kash not the entire obviously that will take you a week all right so a little bit from each Paras until we finish the Kash what comes after right after the the Kash is finished we going to we go right into what's the first book afteru is the servant of he passed away mhe my servant Moshe passed now get up and cross this Jordan River you and this nation into the land that I'm giving to the nation of Israel every place your feet will step there I'm giving it to you as I promise to Moshe every step you're going to step you walk that's yours imagine somebody comes to you and say today listen I have good news for you today it's your lucky day you have one day to walk in Manhattan every place in Manhattan you walk it's yours what would happen here on the marathon was enough no no I want more why you have half of my is yours already wait wait after he finish everything he going north M it's Harlem I also want Harlem why every step it's a billion dollar every step it's a billion dollar it's Manhattan you know every building so hasem say everywhere you're going to walk automatically it's yours so what what the Arabs want from us I don't get it don't they read the same Torah they also know that's the book of God no I don't understand where is the truth if you read it in the Torah and you say it's the book of God and you read that God said to the Jews every step you're going to step it's already yours then everything that comes after you stole it from us finished but we move on after yosua we going to sh no shim okay that's after that after that MIM after that yes after finished theim now we going into theim but there's more prophets but the they come later in the kimim start with the main thing of the night what is it meuth the scroll of Ruth the ashkenazim they have a nice Min they read not that the stand the standard by the ashkenazim never collapse that's for sure only here every two second the Stander refus to stand the asaz have a very good Minh they read every holiday a different Miga they have an actual original Miga and they read it with they take it out they make and they read it so they do it in the morning theim don't read from the me therefore they don't say it's inside the T of the night one way or the other it's a very good mitvah to learn the story of megat because it connects to shavat this is how the foundation of mashiach it comes from here the famous story in the time of the judges there was Hunger in the land there's nothing to eat it's not like today if your country is bankrupt like Argentina or Greece or Finland all these countries who collapse the people still had what to eat why they called the United Nation hey amigo send us a little bit you know 1 million bags of flowers you know some water some you know orange juice no problem the Red Cross it's on the way back then if there's nothing to eat people are dying where are you going to get water no rain nothing to grow no no grains no nothing so right way it's a big problem so people are starving so they moving once there's nothing to eat people migrate to another place can where they can find food and the food obviously is much more expensive so what happened there is a hunger in a land and a person from Bethlehem is going to the fields of moav out of Israel to the go him and his wife and his two sons he moved from T Aviv to New York business Rabbi in Israel I cannot do any no no business let me move to America maybe over there I'll become rich what's the name of the person Eli the name of his wife Naomi and the two sons mlon andon that's their name from be moav they came to moav to the field of moav and died why he died why did you leave the Holy Land he was was a very big if somebody like you leave Israel what example you're going to set for the rest of the people Hashem was angry at him took him away Naomi stayed a widow with her two sons what did they do what happened to Jews Jewish Family that leave Israel and move to San Francisco best case scenario the two boys will marry Goot or go depend you know so so right away one took Christine the other one to Christina so now they got married to two Goot moot what's their name their real name one Ora and the second one root two Goot they sit there for 10 years in s Francisco in moav and then Hashem got upset from them no chva no nothing he Liv with a Goya doesn't care I'm not interested in people like you right the way he took both of them M and Kon both of them died she lost her husband she lost her two sons she's a widow now that's it she stayed alone who stayed with her the two Goot that's it she heard that the hunger finished so now she's going back we're going to get some food there she went back and the two they're following her on the way back to the land of Judah which is Israel Naomi say to them to them go back to your mother's house you're done with me what do you need me for your husband is dead go start yourself New Life Hashem will have mercy on you you were not nice and kind to me Hashem will be kind to you go find yourself rest find yourself a new husband so they started to hug her and to kiss her and they said no we're going with you back to your country now me say no my daughters why go back I don't have other Sons to give you I have nothing to offer you that's it go I'm old already I cannot have more kids even if I get married I doubt that I can have kids go they cry and cry and cry in the end make long story short Ora went and Ruth didn't give up Ruth stuck with her she say your God is my God your country is my country I'm with you I'm 100% with you no matter how difficult it's going to be when a place where you die I'm going to die there where place where you're going to be buried I'm going to be buried there only the death will separate between me and you that's what she answer that's what she told her or few kisses few hugs will be in touch on Facebook install messenger we'll be in touch don't forget to install Skype I'll send you some love messages from time to time take care adios Ora went I don't want to tell you what happened to her that night she went to a club in Manhattan she became frightening who was born golat go look at the difference between Heaven and Earth One decision changing the entire history gol came from here rot she stuck with her she went converted married the head of the saned the chief Rabbi of the world Bas and mashia came from here and the standard collabs I wonder if it's only to me or when other speakers is also happened we will find out later so so imagine if root will go with Ora how the story of mashia would be one of the weirdest stories of the entire tanak perhaps the weirdest out of all is the story of mashia how mashia came to the world first weird thing is it comes from an ex Goya Hashem couldn't find a Jewish from birth he had to bring rud that she came no that's one thing second thing that's not even the strange thing here the strange thing after few Generations we we get all the way to the time of Yehuda in Tamar and Yehuda is going and see a woman she pretends she's at a prostitute on the street and he the ramban say he had something not so clean in his mind but she had 100% holy thing in her mind and from something like this then the the mashia would come she had twins look at the genealogy all the way to David mashia came to the world from such a strange thing why is it why Hashem brought mashia to the world in the weirdest way why why the answer is there is something that called the Satan the Satan it's like a prosecutor like in court when you go to the court you have this annoying prosecutor every second he's trying to make his situation worse and bringing to the judge all kinds of things giving him idea he wants to bury you all the way it's not settling on half oh wait you honor I forgot and you know this date he was over there and this okay leave him alone he already have 20 years in prison no no no that's how they are same thing the Satan it doesn't settle on something he wants all the way all the way so what happened the Satan is always if a sh like this can come to the world the savior of the nation of Israel the Satan is scared why he scared because the day mashia come what happened to the Satan Hashem will Slaughter him so it's very natural to know that the biggest enemy of the Satan is mashiach so what will he do he put all his efforts to hurt mashiah so what did Hashem do tricked him he brings mashiah because the Angels they cannot read the mind they listen to what we say and based on that they react the Satan but he doesn't read the mind so therefore now he doesn't know where mashia will be born he doesn't know par also know the savior of the Jewish nation is about to be born but he didn't know which one so he threw all the baby to the water but they keep checking oh the savior is already in that's why they put Moshe in the water to confuse par oh the savior is already in the water okay stop killing the baby we got rid of him this is the trick same thing over here hasem tricked the Satan the Satan will never dream that hasem agreed that mashia would come with such a forbidden relation between Yuda and Tamar he will never dream that from there mashia come and then by by the time it came it was too late for him to do anything about it so now after we read megat the whole story there's a lot of secrets in it obviously then we move on right after Mig we go after M directly to T Psalms we read some not the whole just part very little part from we move to it's in the tanak was a go Prophet a gentile wasn't a Jew righteous person fearing God is away away from everything bad tal complete innocent and honest if you want to know if a person is righteous the main way to check a person if he's righteous is if he's honest remember honest with money honest with his speaking honest with his money he's deceiving he's stealing he take things that is not his he red people he doesn't give them what he owes them is not clean with money then you know this person is not sh if you know this person is strictly strictly strict when it comes to money his hands is clean then there is a chance that he's a big sadik but without that is not aad but you have to see how he pray is not because if he steal from people this is one of the sins that you cannot fix with chabbat death penalty you can fix by doing chuva murder death penalty you can fix by doing cha even a married woman you can fix by doing chva everything you can fix by doing chuva stealing you cannot fix by doing chuva you must come back in reincarnation and pay back the money you cannot go to heaven only a person that his hands is clean from stealing no that's why there are very very few over there most of the people don't go directly to heaven so the Tor testify on straight doesn't lie you know how difficult it is not to lie try one day one day hasem today test me here from Sunset to Sunset 24 25 hours I I will not say one lie I will not hint a lie I will not mislead a person I will not deceive anyone I will be 100% straight in everything try one day you see how difficult it is 25 hours conversation people where were you we waiting for you why you came late one day with the wife with the children with your partner with your customers one day without saying one lie I know it it sounds to you that it's a joke call me tomorrow night and tell me how it was some White Lies okay no White Lies White Lies is black black sometimes more than black wise you know it's very difficult because sometimes a person doesn't even realize he's lying you understand sometimes you can hide the truth you don't lie you just don't generate the truth you come to a job interview you are 30 years old now you can come and say by the way I want to be 100% honest with you when I was 16 I robbed a candy store I was in a mood for an ice cream so but since then you became a rabbi but as soon as they hear that you robed the candy store okay we'll get back to you thank you for the information next time you find a job when your beard will be not white you know so not everything you have to run to say but if they ask you you can't lie big test Big N very big n next one Mish now we going to King Solomon Mish next one KET sh King Solomon next one shim Song of Songs then then Daniel The Book of Daniel then Esther me then Ezra Ezra then and then we finish the tanak right after we finish the tanak what we do after that mishna some people skip the Mish since we do it's on the Mish you have all you know some Mish a little bit from each m from E said some people like I say because the night is long and the time is very short so they skip the Mish then we go to them garot we do the garot you know the after we finish different parts from thear then what's what comes after that 613 Commandments I made a series what happened the Russian came huh yeah it became hot no one 613 laws 633 laws 613 Commandments I made a whole series about it if you want I have some here in Hebrew and in English explaining all the 613 laws I doubt that if you're going to have enough time between now and Sh to go over it if not for this year at least you know for the next year I promise you one thing take any secular Jew in the world Israel America Europe ask him can you name to me how many mitv what you know how many you think from the 613 he will be able to name how many huh 10 give them a little bit more credit maybe 20 MIT 20 you will be able to know now you're going to go to people that are 10 years the beard is sweeping the floor when he walks she's like the rabbitson of the neighborhood she already teached to Whatsapp groups the rabbitson of the WhatsApp tell her Miss rabbitson please tell us how many mitv you can name from mitv how many or the or the boy or the girl 10 years he's even going to learn every day how many MIT he'll be able to name how many huh anybody here can stand up and say that he can name more than 50 mitv by help learn from you do you understand now do I have to continue or you got the [Music] point right most of them do not apply today because we don't have bet mikdash lots of different sacrifices all the laws all kinds of that it's only in is fine there's a lot of mitv one MIT once every 50 years once every seven years regardless a person must not you don't have to know millions of millions of details that connects to all of them but the basic you have to know person has to know the basic so I give you I give you an example what I'm talking about first you have to get married and have children what does it mean children at least a boy and a girl what does it mean a boy and a girl a boy that can give birth that he did not participate in a gay parade in Tel Aviv yesterday not somebody like that and not a girl like that a boy that is normal and a girl that is normal today we can still call it normal but the way the world is going down one day we will be the not normal but that's the way it is what can we do so a boy that can give birth and a girl that can give birth if later on when they get married you find out that they're unable to give birth you didn't fulfill the Mitzvah you will only know that you actually fulfill this mitzvah that your boy and the girl gave birth if if you have 10 boys you did not K fulfill the Mitzvah 10 girls you did not fulfill the Mitzvah one boy one girl that are able to give birth you have the Mitzvah if Shalom one of them died the mitvah went away from you so it's only depend on reality not on the actual moment it's depend if you have a boy and a girl that continue your genealogy that's called mitah women are not obligated a woman is a partner of the man in everything without the woman the man is not worth a lot that's the I did not write it so the man please don't be offended but a man is not worth that much without a woman besides the fact that she saves him from the sins and from all kinds of other problem besides the fact that she cleans for him and cook for him and raise his children and give him financial support sometimes and psychological support and somebody to open up the heart to and someone to trust there's a lot of wonderful things about it besides all of that there is one more thing thear say that the blessing in life doesn't come to a person that doesn't have a wife now I know in this generation we have an epidemic what's the epidemic a growing number of single boys and girls more and more are not getting married there's different reason why people don't get married one reason they just couldn't find the right one they very picky everybody wants Rael the wife of RAB AKA less than that don't call me Mr Shan and you know she wants minimum RAB AKA less than that don't you know what Raba not good enough for me it's a BAL Chua no no no it's BT BT what is divorce with kids and BT and poor and cleaning horses you want to set me up with him don't worry he's going to kindergarten to learn Al tomorrow uh imagine shatan would offer you RAB AKA huh imagine a Shan would offer you a with Raba before he would start his career his business will be over right away hey Moshe you just put flyers yesterday and you put a nice head why you already shut your office I offered somebody a divorce man with kids cleaning horses doesn't know Al never went to Yesa that today he started to go to kinden Garden so I lost my reputation right away I always say AA would not be accepted to any Yesa in the world no Yesa would accept him R AA would be today the in his 4S you know which yes will go to come shalom shalom yes FL yes of mon yes of doesn't matter he would come to Thea no nice to meet you yes can I help you what did you bring the pizza the lunch no no I came to get accepted TOA this is a pre one here what do you mean you came to get accepted yeah I want to learn Alit I want to start becoming religious you know so I want to learn Al what he would say to him it's not sh here little kids they'll make fun h a t there h a t there no he wouldn't make it the world was different 2,000 years ago so here is an example a woman she doesn't have an obligation to have kids of course every woman wants kids but let's say a woman didn't get married and she said and learn to all her life she reads she reads she does she didn't get married she doesn't have kids did she violate the rules of hasem technically no but real reality wise yes not directly but indirectly why because the reason hasem put women in the world as you have a purpose so I put you in this world to help the men you avoiding a part of your purpose yes you enjoy you don't want the headache fine that's not your purpose your purpose was in this world imagine if all the women say since I don't have to have kids let me go and Reta him all day I don't want to go on what would happen in the world one generation will be over so this is one example of P then then when you slau the animal there's a liament in the back thenes every month to announce KES then to slaughter the sacrifice of PES and the 14th of Nissan then to eat the sacrifice of PES in the 15 day of of PES at night and then to clean all the to eat matah to sanctify every first born to tell the story of The Exodus of Egypt and then Le said there to redeem the first born of the donkeys if you do not redeem you have to put him to die not to eat the PES cooked or ra you have to barbecue it only not to leave from the sacrifice of PES to the morning everybody must finish it what's not has to be burned you don't leave for tomorrow right the way hasem educate us to count on him confidence in hasem if you have a big Len you have maybe 100 pound of meat and you have only 20 or 30 people in your group you have to register you make a group not everyone is so popular if everyone know this person is angry like a wolf nobody wants to be his guest in the night of PES so how many many people he has Moshe would you come no no I already go to my mother-in-law would you come no I go to my my cousin Moshe would you come no no I go to my the grandmother of my cousin everyone find him an excuse so in the end he has nobody even his own children don't want to come I remember one time a story one man and his son went to Rainman at 1 a.m. 1:00 a.m. at night so they knock on the door 1:00 a.m. a person was in his 90s back then today is3 so they knock on the door the wife opened the door can I help you and they said we have to meet the ra is it really they say yes so she went to the rav he was sitting learning on you know he doesn't even have chairs he has a bed sits on a bed and that's how he learned the bed that he sleeps with the table they have to see his house to go if you ever want to be a real servant of hasem you have to go one minute to see the house of rashman better than a thousand lectures the head of the Jewish world and you have to see how he live even though hundreds of millions of dollars went through his hands in the last 50 years big money from huge people from he could have done whatever he wants with that could have bu himself a beautiful house and get a very juicy salary and a driver and the rest of the nonsense he doesn't keep a penny for himself the few times that he said that he didn't have a $100 to give this is it most simple possible way so it's very interesting even reading glasses he doesn't have3 can read perfect better than us without reading glasses why the eyes never looked at something that is forbidden in his whole life they always stayed holy 103 years of Holiness so they knock on his door okay they let him in they walk in they sit with him 10 20 minutes they came out so his wife asked him what what was what happened something happened to them he said the guy is the asan meaning politician he wants to run to get elected so he asked me if he should run or not so the wife said what's so urgent about it he he said for him is very urgent he cannot sleep from he's very being very nervous he has to make a decision so she said and what did you tell him I told him not to run so she said so why did he go out with such a smile he should have he should have gone out upset no he had a dream he wanted to be the new Donald Trump he told him no no forget about it don't go don't don't run why did he come out so happy so he say to him she asked him what did you tell him that he came out so happy he say I told him that no one will vote for him so she say so why was he still happy if you told him such a thing he said because I told him no one would vote for you besides your son and he was sure that even his son won't vote for him so he was happy oh at least my son would vote for me today you don't know if your son will vote for you the way the generation is in a generation that boys call 911 on their fathers to get them arrested everything is possible one guy he asking his will when he will die to bury him with a coat and $5 in a pocket so everybody was very curious why did he write such a strange wheel so they came to him and they said tell me why you want to be buried with a coat and $5 in a pocket he said one day there will be the resurrection of the de and when I get up I want to be a to have a coat and I want to have $5 that I'll be able to buy myself a hot coffee cuz maybe will be in a in a winter and knowing my children I cannot count of them to have a coat and to have a cup of coffee so the rabbi told him you don't have to worry about it you can be buried without it if you have such a kid such kids you w't resurrect Resurrection that means you messed up stop there messed up you won't resurrect that's a joke of course so obviously there are 613 laws and it's not the time now so we skip that what comes right after that the beautiful midash of the night it's midash on this what I want to talk about today I prepared for you a nice surprise after we finish this midash in 10 15 minutes then I will ask a very dear speaker that came especially from Florida to give us few words of Torah also brought you some of his CDs that just came out and he's on the way up we need the precious and straight speakers that speaks the truth in today's generation we are having less and less speakers like this so when finally you find somebody that always say the truth with honesty without getting scared giving his life to save Souls then you know the future be will be extremely bright soon we're going to have Rabon ruven giving us some words of encouragement but before just allow me to speak a few minutes about this mid that at least when we read it at night you know what we're speaking about the of mosenu the soul of mosenu went up to the m the body went up to the mountain and the soul went up right to Sham the body is on a mountain and the soul went up to Sham this is what it say what does it mean you went up to the to the heaven you were in contact with the angels up there in heaven nobody ever reached that level of going all the way up to where Moshe raenu went how long were the Commandments that gave to mosu six the how much is a this this is a te what is it four five inches this is a this is three four so six something like that but very heavy Stone and very expensive six twoim between one hand to another when a person come to a country the eyes of the people over there right away on him who is this stranger what is he doing here why is why he came to our country Moshe came up it's not his territory over there he comes to accept the Torah the angel all got nervous what a person that was born to a woman to a human being what does he have to do here this is what it means you came to take a gift every Angel eventually was forced to give him a gift the Angels when you say means servants service they are the customer service of AEM they do the job Hashem send them on missions sometime positive sometimes negative the wanted to huru made the face of mosenu like the face of abah ainu why they give a lot of respect to abrah ainu and hasem said to them you're not embarrassed this is the person you went down to eat by him he fed you you pretend you Arabs right after you ate in his house you want to hurt him what is Hashem doing is tricking them huh what is it a comedy show was allowed to do such thing to fool the angels and make the face of like and tell them this is the guy you ate by him is deceiving [Applause] them abah why am I doing this why I make your face like abah I want you to know know that today you're getting the Torah thanks to Abraham if it wouldn't be Abraham you wouldn't be here the only reason I took you out of Egypt is thanks to the swearing that I swore to abrah aino I swore to him that I make the Covenant with his children and today I'm keeping my world and the only reason I made this world is to give my Tor and the only way I give the Torah is to someone that deserve to get the Torah the only ones that were deserved to get the Torah were abrah and especially yob that all his children were sikim and from them I made them the nation of Israel and today I'm giving you the Torah but you should know that without Abraham and yob Merit you wouldn't be here standing here getting the Torah today and Abraham aim the most giant among giants and hasem called m to the mountain what is the mountain it's like the shoulders of the fathers Moshe went up to the God and in the clouds and he came down from the clouds and this is what he sayov is the women that's why the of the girls called betov why because there is a rule in the Torah The House of the the person it's his wife you want to know if there's blessing in the out look at the wife materialistic totally not modest all day makeup and walking in the malls go see the house you won't be surprised righteous modest classy hardworking praying devotion attachment to Hashem not materialistic go and check that house the men contribute very little to the house anyway is not there it's either at work or in Yeshiva who builds the house the wife bet yov that's why hasem started with them the message first to the women is that's the men tell every one of them what they capable of hearing tell the women that the main thing I expect from them is to lead their children to learn Torah that's the main thing that I want from a Jewish woman pushing her children to learn but in a in a clever way not by force force they always rebel against giving prizes giving them love talking to them telling them stories buying them their right books with Adam I first commended Adam and then K and then kava went and spoiled and destroyed my entire world now I'm starting with the women not with the men first with the women now if they will support the Torah then there will be blessing if not nothing will help the men by themselves will not be able to do it you know when mosenu saw the Egyptian drowns in B so Moshe started to sing to hasem as and then after that his his sister Miriam she took the women separate party not mix separate men over there women all the way there right the women also dancing and jumping and singing alone no man is around and they don't film it and put it on Facebook or on YouTube you you understand so Miram made a party for the women why not to make a par wedding everyone together H Rabbi we family here you see Moshe and Miram more family than this and the women I promise you they were much more modest than today they all carry a tent around themselves so even if they come to a mixed wedding anyway you don't see anything right imagine if you go to a to a a wedding in somewh in the Middle East all the women you only see the eyes so big deal they move like this there's nothing to see anyway and it's still not allowed still not allowed imagine with the way people dress today so Miram when she made her song she only took one verse from Moshe everything is different one verse same one which one hasem drowned the horse and the one that was riding on a horse why she used that one because why the horse has to die because he's the support of the soldier the Egyptians that run after the Jews without the horse he couldn't hurt the Jews so the horse became the base the the the the foundation without him there's nothing you can do why hasem treat the foundation exactly like the soldier it should have been a separation the soldier is separate and the horse is separate no when you supporting someone everything he does for good and for bad you're 100% you get if he does good the good goes to you as well if he does bed the bed goes to you as well so when Miriam saw that she realized ah we the women are very lucky we will support the men to learn toorah and we get the reward very good fair deal that's why she took it and she put it inside her song inside the Torah and after all this obviously I cannot go over the entire midash the conclusion of this midash that Hashem said to Moshe hold my chair and give them an answer and Moshe say to the angels what are you jealous with do you have parents that you have to respect them do you have yet that you have to fight against your do you steal do you kill what do you need toah for toah people that have b trats that's what they need it's going to fix them what do you need the Torah that you're so uptight about it and you try to keep it here in sham and what happened in the end Moshe brought down the Torah and this is what we call the conclusion in shabat we do at least one Dairy meal there's few ways to do it one is since we stay up all night we pray vati Nets Sunrise we start like I said about 10: to 5 we finish approximately 7 something so when we get we get home so we do a kid and we make a Dairy meal and then we go to sleep and then after that around noon we make another meal but this time meat meat wine that's one way to do it some some people the way they do it they wait they make one meal they do dairy they fold the table they rinse their mouth and they serve in the same meal now meat they eat meat and then they do so in one meal da first rinsing them out changing the tablecloth and going into the meat either way you want to do it it's fine one Dairy meal at least as a memory of this of the fact that after Moshe brought down the Torah they realized that all the meat they prepare was not koser because they didn't slaugh it correctly so they had to throw all the meat and there was no time to slaugh more animals and put salt and get rid of the blood and clean the skin and cut the meat it will take a whole day so they ran quickly to make da food and that's why we eat dairy food for 3,300 years any question before I'm stepping down and we have our guest that will give us few words of encouragement any questions yes I've said before that in order for rues children has to conceive yes let's say for example two boys two girls one of the boys and one of the girls conceived other two doesn't two girls conceived oh there's two girls two one it's enough I said one at least at least minimum one and all the other one is extra yes you only have boys you have grandchild you need to have a boy and a girl in order for the mitvah to count later if you have grandchildren so it counts like you have genealogy but you must have one boy and one girl that are able to give birthday we celebrate not necessarily the we're celebrating the Torah the Torah right right so the second after M came down in right he saw the golden cine so he broke the Ten Commandments then the second commandments was only 80 days later after told him he brought it down it was and the second commandment was not as great as the first one because the tablet were made by Moshe not by hasem so meaning is a little bit less than the first one so the question is why we celebrating shab now and not on y kipur or at least one day after Yip good question no what's the answer answer yeah yeah the Jews when they went they went out weren on the level know only on the Lev of on the low level what happened then they s and then hasem had to change it to a lower level so therefore they celebrate first should have been is not on the level so therefore it had to be changed so he right said when said listen to rebellious L the words he says means that you are don't learn don't learn so you are you could have had but should have been yours which is therefore we celebrate the first one that's why there's a source that night only you don't touch because that is all right and and we can add to that with permission from RAB V that the reason we celebrate sh is because that's the first time we heard the voice of Hashem it's never happened ever again that's enough already it's a holiday that hasem came and spoke to us the first two Commandments and then he read you know when we when he was supposed to read the rest of the Commandments we couldn't hear it but Hashem plan was to read all the Ten Commandments to us in a public event if this doesn't deserve to be a holiday what else deserve I want to welcome Ron ruen you're going to hear a lot from him in the future please come have give us some words of encouragement before Matan Tora thank you very much we'll see you next Tuesday thank you let's see how thiss this looks good enough thank you for coming for the r but now you enjoy me hopefully and also and you'll find out today why uh today I want to cover a couple of small things and hopefully you'll entertain me and actually listen uh first I'll say something small to add to what said and you said about CH just to add something a little bit of time to that was my thought individual thought that I thought could be beautify the Torah for you a little bit the second thing is is some of you have come have seen my shim online and uh many have been attracted to my personal story how I decided to leave millions of dollars on Wall Street all for Torah I was on Wall Street I had a lot of money I was on CNBC CNN Bloomberg one of those types of people my uh business card was gold which is kind of interesting and um I left all of it for Torah and to do exactly what has been doing for 22 years I joined the army I want to tell you why but the why that I've told already many times is not the why I'm going to tell you today the why I'm going to tell you today is the story no one knows about RAB mrai it's my personal story so as far as adding and then obviously the mus scale and what we can learn from it and why it affects you why you should even listen to it so first and foremost in regards to sh one of the main things that I got from it is that in reality according to it is the most important thing in history why because kazal tells us that since Hashem came to all of the nation and offered them the Torah and they rejected it all of the malim were very scared because they knew that if rejects the Torah AEM will bring back the world to to will destroy the world why because the Torah is the purpose of this world that's why hasem created it 974 Generations ation before he created the world in essence the Jewish people were in essence became Jewish because of the Torah they weren't Jewish before obviously as you've learned from M many many times before the Torah we were isim before that before that we were Hebrews but if someone else came to Mount Si Shalom and accepted the Torah and we didn't they would be the Jews so in essence the most important day in history SH now why do we go over the Torah or at least try because hasm is trying to give us a little bit of a taste of the beauty of the Torah but in reality we can't finish it we can't finish the Torah and that's why in you'll see that it's not your obligation to finish the Torah said to R AKA once you haven't come visit me in a long time I have so much t to teach you he says how much Torah do you have he says if all of the water was ink and all of the trees were pens and all of the land was paper it wouldn't be enough to write down the Torah that I know and that is not even a close amount to the real Torah what's the real Torah well give you an understanding of what we have now we got the Torah in Mount SA but as said we got a little bit of a lower version after our sin but we still got the Torah the Torah later was given from generation to generation to 24,000 students of abaka unfortunately all died then we were started all over again with five of RAB aa's students and RAB AA himself all the way to today but now if you connect the holidays if you go back to P it's a very important holiday it's the Exodus we left Egypt we turned around history in one way that's never been done before and never will will be done again the slave turned into the master and we go from to but in the middle we have a problem in the middle we have 34 days of disaster the 2 4,000 students OFA died during this time so what's the connection so during one of I do a short on WhatsApp and it's on uh different uh places that people like is usually 15 minutes and I tried to connect the three things why did hasem take us from SIM to sim but in the middle there's a disaster first off he wanted to tell us that the purpose of us leaving is to get the Torah whoever didn't want to get the Torah died as we know at least 80% of theim died in Egypt Torah is later on but in the middle he wanted to explain to us what we actually have because if we don't know what we have we usually don't appreciate it so the Torah that we got according to it says that we had 55 prophets 48 males and seven females in our tanak but in his history we had over 1.2 million prophets so we're missing a few their Torah was holy too what happened to them Hashem told us that their Torah was only relevant their NE their prophecy actually better said their prophecy was only relevant to their generation which means that the 55 remaining prophets whatever came out of their mouth every sing single letter that's written in the Torah is relevant to every single generation until the end of time so no one could ever say like the reforms and the conservatives and any other Wicked person in between can never say hey no this is not relevant to today today you're allowed to drive because Moses didn't have a car you're allowed to drive on Shabbat he didn't have a car that's why he didn't drive you can't you can't say that why because if Hashem said their Torah their n their prophecy is relevant for all all all time that's it but now we only have their prophecy we only have their part of the Torah out of the 1.2 million so already we know we're missing a bunch and out of those 55 we got down to 24,000 students but out of the 24,000 students we don't have all of their Torah we only have the Torah of six and has five students so what would happen if Hashem said you know what it was about 700 of the greatest sages in history dying per day we don't just mourn because we have nothing else to do we mourn because we're missing their Torah if you go on for example Hebrew books.com they have over 75,000 Hebrew Books holy books for free and he wants to download read and so on and there's hundreds of thousand thousands of differentes that you could learn from Torah is endless but all of what we have today is just from six people which means that if Hashem would have skipped one day said you know what today I'm not going to kill the 700 so we'll have a Torah of 706 imagine how much Holiness this world would have the beauty of it is that AEM obviously knew that even what we have from the six he has to practically beg us to read but at least now you know that when you get to sh hasem is trying to give you a message I only took you out of Egypt for this Torah it's the only reason if you didn't want the Torah left you there and you died in the plague of Darkness the uh Mak Darkness you're going get the Torah but if I would have given it to you without you knowing how much it's worth you'd get there you say N I like Harry Potter better and you move along but now that we know how much Beauty we have from the little we have we yearn for so much that we're [Music] missing now one of the main things that about my personal story I'll go through it 5 minutes because there's not enough [Music] time and then I'll go into the more interesting part about RAB Mai I've been telling I've been telling myself that I'm going to take say the story for years already so I start I came to the United States when I was 10 years old with my parents I know three letters out of the alphabet ABC because that wasn't a cereal in Israel I got some Jewish Education we learned some basic Torah but my development in the Hebrew language Torah or anything related to Judaism ended at the age of 10 as soon as we landed in America we officially became go we didn't convert thank God but uh we left everything we just looked at everyone else and all the other kids in the public school seemed so much cooler and so much more popular I wanted to become just like them this is why the r has been telling everyone for years that you cannot afford to send your kid to public school it's not about just the teaching which isah already it's not just that it's the surrounding whether you teach him about the of Shabbat every day after school or not is irrelevant once he's surrounded by that he's not going to be able to hold on to it he's not going to be able to so I went to public school I was considered a in public school I went had took advanced placement classes and got College uh credit during uh junior high school and during high school I had honorable nice experience in school in the fifth grade I didn't know any English in sixth grade they sent me the special ed next to the kids that are disabled because I didn't speak the language by eighth grade I'm taking college courses so I was pretty pretty cool but then we went to college went to college for one year went to bingamon University had a 3.9 GPA which is nearly perfect and then I dropped out why it's a waste of time the point of education is to teach you how to think you don't need history you don't need English if you just live in the world with surrounded by people most of the stuff they teach you in school is really a waste of time unless you have a point unless you're going to be a doctor or an AR architect or you have some type of profession that you're going to be if you're just going to get a communications degree then you're just torturing your parents charging them $50,000 a year for absolutely no reason and this is what's happening generation after generation now but just the bill keeps getting higher where kids say no no I'm going to college ABA I'm going to college where you want to go I'm going to Harvard ABA gets a heart attack on a spot my retirement account is gone ABA just graduated Harvard oh what did you graduate with I have a communications degree what am I what are you going to do with it oh I'm uh nothing I'm just uh I'm actually going to go back to delivering newspapers like I did in high school so I knew how to think I already started working when I was a young kid I had three jobs in high school and I knew how to sell I knew how to speak so I left school I started working initially I started doing a few different things and then eventually I got into the brokerage business The Brokerage business I paid my dues for the first three years meaning I made a lot of other people a lot of money except myself but after September 11th I got a break my uh boss screwed me so I was able to finally be my own boss in a big company 12 months later approximately from October of 2001 to November of 2002 so I guess 13 months later I made $117,000 in one month and became the number one guy in the office another 9 months later I became the number three producing broker in the country for a company with 5,000 Brokers I made my first million dollars a year later I I actually a few months later I opened my own company and then a bad month became $200,000 a month sometimes 150 if I didn't work and eventually got to the point where I started getting some Fame I was on CNBC I was on CNN I was on Bloomberg all types of newspapers was very very popular and all of a sudden I had a bunch of [Music] friends I never had friends but now I had friends I had one friend for 25 years is the same one day but uh other than that I never had friends but now I had friends I had all this money and all of them came with Partners so I gave all these friends jobs they weren't really good but I still hired them enemy skin in the world came to me I gave him a job some of these friends were religious at least I thought they were and my door was always open to people that want Saka need help I was so busy in making money that I usually would just ask the guy as soon as he starts talking and he tells me about the problem and sometimes they're very emotional I just tell them how much is it cost and they tell me how much it cost and I just give him the check and they go away and I go back to make him money and that was my world I wasn't a bad guy just I was busy donated a lot of money and I was told by some Rabbi that as long as I give everything is fine now not going to name any names Shalom but I want to explain to everyone why the truth the hard truth is the only way it's not some people yes some people no it's the only way as a says many many times if didn't want us to know it he wouldn't write it in the Torah the Torah it's available to all of the Nations not just to us every week at least two religious people some rabbis some just religious would come and ask for and also give us a Dev the door was always open sometimes it was three sometimes it was four times a week but nonetheless at least two I had my office for about 15 years but let's just make the the math very simple throughout all of this time I'm keeping basically no mitv except giving but I don't even think that was really the uh highest I just had so much it wasn't relevant to what I had I'm married to a non-jew I don't steal but in general that's not exactly the only a that I'm doing I'm not keeping Shabbat kosher only in the house I think that pizza as long as it doesn't have any meat is okay little do I know that the same cheese that I'm eating at the non kosher place has Pig in it it's actually one of the basic ingredients that you have in all non kosher G's but anyway no one's telling me anything but every week they get the but let's just do the math 10 years once a week that means that any one of those religious people that came to my office had at least one shot every week to tell me something keep Shabbat maybe your wife should convert something so if you do the math it's 52 times a year 520 times over 10 years it's obviously much more than that but if this politically correct strategy that people use was ever going to work if it didn't work after 520 times when is it supposed to work when I'm the failed experiment I'm the one that showed that it doesn't work you have to tell people the truth so Hashem showed me the truth when Rabbi is lied to me Hashem showed me the truth only difference is it's a little more difficult I'm not Moses so he didn't speak to me through a uh through a burning Bush he spoke to me through hardship in November of 2006 I took I had an elective surgery that went wrong I went in healthy I came out sick but not sick like I have a headache sick like I'm dying screaming in pain non-stop pain the doctors didn't know what went wrong my entire nervous system was shocked no one knew what was happening for the next 62 days the most amount of consecutive sleep that I was able to have was 15 minutes and I started bleeding from my eyes in every other place that has a hole so I was dying but then I guess hasem had some mercy on me said all right let's give him a shot so I started coming back to life stopped screaming 24 hours it was only 12 took at least 20 pain kills a day so it's less than the 50 that I just had a week before it's g in went back to work went back to making $3,000 an hour didn't do Chua 9 months later there's a complication I feel a pain in my leg and I have to go to the emergency room and I have my first of many many surgeries I have an internal infection that if it if I would have waited another hour it would have exploded gone into my blood system and I would have died I'm an intensive care unit next to the dying people for the next two weeks morphine in my blood system at all times just to survive not fun okay hasem had more mercy on me and I did leave the hospital but 3 months later I have another surgery another Intensive Care Unit more fun living in pain 24 hours a day but now now it's not pain just in the area had the surgery which is irrelevant it's pain everywhere from my neck all the way to the bottom of my feet to the point where I wasn't able to walk anymore I had to use a cane so imagine this multi-millionaire guy 27y old has about $20 million in the bank but he's with a cane and it takes him about 40 minutes to go from here to the door how much is the money worth zero so now I start losing money I still didn't do Chua all the friends that I had all of a sudden became enemies so they start stealing stealing I didn't really like them anymore so they started stealing they started cheating started going to my competition with my clients I'm a wounded animal I can't defend myself little by little things get worse and worse I still don't get it I went to over 50 different doctors spent hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars trying everything and anything you can possibly try when you have money you can do anything you want or at least you think you can it's worthless it gets to the point where I actually become oh the fly from yes came he came I wanted to say but I didn't think because last they didn't show up in Queens ah so he came here maybe you saw the flyer sent me an email what happened to the fly I said maybe he finishes said I said he moved to here to he saw the flyer the flyer was nice my wife made it was a nice flyer so now I uh get to a point where I go to over 50 doctors and eventually get to a point where I become a science experiment I actually become part of a study and they start injecting stuff into me every single day which makes me feel like dying uh they injected ozone which you don't really want to do steroids same thing that the athletes take cost a lot of money by the way and uh everything and anything you can try nothing works so once I heard that said he's the Healer so I start paying attention and I said okay these religious people are coming anyway let me see if one of them wants to teach me something no one was really interested so I went to a uh there was strictly business so I went to a uh class and uh started learning later on it was just once a week but still not doing chuva but situation started getting worse and worse I started losing millions and millions of dollars just as fast as it came it started leaving and then one day I have a miracle where my mom dials a wrong phone number in a different country and it ends up being the only person that could help me she one day she calls she saw me a day a few days before that I was looking worse and worse and she start you know safic mom always has a book of uh rabbis so she starts calling every single number she has but for 2 hours no one answers the phone eventually some lady in Israel answers the phone she asks for a certain RAV and she says I'm sorry it's the wrong phone number there's no such R my mom breaks down to this strange lady she starts crying hysterical and the lady says which is my mother's name so not only does this lady know her but she can recognize her voice my mom shocked and she says who are you how do you know my name she goes I'm your niece what's niece how do how did I reach you I don't even have your phone number I've never talked to you before in my life on the phone last time I talked to you was maybe 10 years ago but I saw you in person you're a little kid says I don't know but if Hashem sent you to me then obviously there has to be a reason why you crying my son is sick he's dying he's this he's that I need some rough to bless him she says well listen why don't you call my brother ra fine he's connected to ra he lives two doors down he call him she calls he calls her back cuz he's in a at the same time that Rim is talking to her I never knew that Rim exists I never knew he existed I was he was only a couple years old when I left Israel we never talked but anyway my mom cries to him and tells him my my my Sab story and ra says does he speak Hebrew says yeah he speaks a little bit of Hebrew he says okay can I call him no he won't talk to you he doesn't talk to us barely at that very same moment which I find out later I decided to call my mom on the other line and she answers the phone hysterical crying I tell her what's wrong what's wrong says talk to him who talk to him to him who who's why are you crying about this FR what did he do just talk to him he can help you okay anyone can call me just stop crying so I calls me and he tells me the story of Judah and tamama little do I know that he also knows that I'm married to a non-jew I like the story it's the first time I ever heard the story I was already in my late 20s not a very uh big compliment to my Torah knowledge at that point I like the story so I start asking him questions see if he answers I ask him business questions he answers I ask him Torah question he answers but he doesn't just answer like you'll ask me a question I'll answer you but I'll sometimes give you an answer with no Source he gives me a page number a book an exact year was written something amazing like I thought I was smart this guy is something out of this world so we talked for an hour and 40 minutes you're going to miss your story no he knows the story I'm just kidding we talked for an hour and 40 minutes was a very nice conversation and a week uh a week lady calls me at the same time Thursday at 4:00 we have a three-hour conversation I ask him questions he gives me answers with a source and he makes me feel good every time I ask a question he goes oh what a great question you know so and so asked the same question 852 years ago so I feel like oh yes of course of course he has the same question as [Music] me so he tells me the answer he tells me the source and I just start coming up with new questions I never even knew I had all these questions for the next nine months every Thursday at 4:00 we're an average call between 5 to 7 hours only questions and answers later on he tells me that he used to pray before the call to know the answers and I said what do you mean to know the answers you even know the page number and the guy and this and that he goes I didn't even know the questions I never asked the questions you asked I never cared about the stuff you did but when you asked them it was pretty good questions and hashm gave me the answers is what we call it the Special you get when you do K so now how does RAB M get into it so now little by little I start learning t with him everything I learn I teach my wife who for some strange reason always wanted me to be a religious Jew even though she was not and she would tell me to stay home for the holidays and I tell why and people would ask me don't you want your wife to convert have a Jewish children I said I'm not doing it why should I tell her to do it I'm not a hypocrite can't tell her to do something I'm not going to do it's not fair you can't just make somebody Jewish it's either they want to be Jewish or not you can't just make someone stop believing something I used to make fun of the Christianity in general I used to call it the remix you know they took our Torah and they mixed it up a little bit they made something new has mistakes in every single page as every one of you have seen in the debate was a nice Kem that's Eternal I think that's what they're going to show ra when he gets to his at least the first part of his he's going to show him the debate see this this a good one this got you the first few ones so now you can't just make somebody Stop Believing but now little by little I'm learning T and I'm realizing that I start to smell something funny I start to smell the garbage that I'm in see the problem is when you're part of the garbage you don't smell anything you can't smell anything you're part of it you start leaving with some Torah you become a little bit half of a percent over percent over perc Kad cuz you learn seven hours a week you start smelling something funny so I start realizing there's something wrong with my picture maybe it is a problem so I start learning more and more Torah and I said you know what I guess my wife has to convert but how do I get that how do I get her to convert so I tell her you want to convert she goes no I don't think you can said no I I've heard somebody said you can RT she go no no I don't think you could leave then it's a problem it's this it's that neither one of us knew anything she knew Proverbs by heart but she didn't know the conversion even existed no one ever knew you could leave idol worship we didn't even know it was idol worship so now I start learning about Christianity because I realized that you can't make someone stop believing something you can't just say listen you believe XYZ for 30 years okay stop and replace it with this it's not ice cream you can't just exchange after you took a bite because the guy's really nice you can't so first you have to prove that it's wrong and then you have to give them something good the problem is that in between there's nothing there's an emptiness and that's why most converts when they actually get to that point when they get to the point of nothing before they know the Torah is true 100% Divine there's a point of emptiness that's a disaster some of them really want to kill themselves during that time because you thought you had something and now you just realized your entire life was fake everything you believed your entire life is nothing it's just a mistake it's almost like a BAL Chua but not to some to the same extent and now there's something else but you're still not 100% sure so now you don't really have anything there's no purpose it's a very very difficult stage which is the reason why hasem has special treatment for them and why they're mentioned in the Torah more than anything else and why even in amid we mention them before we mention us convert that chooses AEM is considered higher than a natural born Jew but a righteous convert not just any convert because they had a nice boyfriend from a Syrian family with a lot of money so now I start learning about Christianity and I become obsessive first Rabbi I went to was a rabbi tovia singer he was very good speaks extremely fast which was my style I was a Wall Street guy I trained over 130 different salesmen I had all these people that was my style fast 150 M hour telling me all these verses it's amazing I showed it to my wife after about 10 seconds she said okay thank you very much and not interested talks too fast so then I had R frim give me uh some proofs that he can find because whatever I'm doing is not working he writes a whole letter with proofs and proofs and proofs and proofs and proofs and I read it to my wife she's hysterical crying and she says no thank you I like the Torah but it doesn't mean that I have to be Jewish I could still keep the Torah I continue to find different things one day after watching One video after another I get a recommended video on YouTube they have a part of this Mitzvah maybe the debate I said oh this looks interesting so I press on a debate I watched the debate it's amazing but there's one one problem until this until now I just thought that Christianity was second best like I didn't know what I knew now like now I've become obsessed with it for months and months and months and months and I'm learning all these things all these verses and everything else but the debate made me realized that it's outright fake it's not second best it's out outright idol worship it's nothing so now the most important person in my most important person in my life is Idol worshiping without even knowing it now it's not having her convert so it makes my situation A little better with hem now I have to save her now it's different so I saw the first part of the debate and I say listen you got to watch this thing this is really good cuz all this time we've been learning some she loves Torah but again you can't remove a belief so I show her the first part of the debate she struggles through the first one after the first one first you know it's three parts after the first one she says Nah I don't like the that that priest is a and the rabbi is arrogant just to let you know by now she's probably watched I would say at least 85 to 90% of all of rabis mra's lectures she's a big sadika she's the only Rabbi she watches but initially the Satan she hated him hated which is what the Satan does cuz this was The Cure so now I argue with her and argue with with her now for we've been together for many years at this point I think we were together for maybe eight or nine years never had one fight all of a sudden since this conversion stuff came up we have fights every single day and now I'm arguing with her for about a week and a half just to watch part two she watches part two unfortunately similar conclusion but there's a few good things in there that you can't really can't have answers for why does it say 75 instead of 70 people came down to to uh Egypt why is the in the wrong location why why why there's no answers so now we're starting to remove the T cuz the first thing you have to do when you do kiru the first thing you have to do when you help somebody learn the truth is convince them and show them that they're wrong it's irrelevant if you're right if you're right and they feel they're right you're still not going to win first you have to completely prove them wrong you have to make them at least question themselves that maybe I'm wrong because as long as he thinks he's right there's no reason for him to change okay your Torah is good for you thank you very much it's not for me cuz I think that what my lifestyle is of driving to besset cuz my Rabbi doesn't say anything of giving a bar mitah to my dog because I saw it on YouTube eating McDonald's whenever I want I think it's fine this is the problem so you have to show them that they're wrong there's something wrong here God said something else he said says you have to take the you have to take the tah everywhere not not just do them you have to take them everywhere when you're on vacation you still have to be religious when you go to Israel you still have to be religious when you move somewhere else you have to be religious you have to take the Torah with you everywhere it's not optional it's not a uh hobby so now that I realized that getting to part three is not going to happen and by the way until this day should never watch part three but now we have some questions so I start researching more and more getting more questions getting more questions and she's at a point where she says listen I just need some type of sign from Hashem in the Torah I believe the Torah is 100% true never question it in my life but I need something from the Torah that tells me this is the right thing now hasem told us in Deuteronomy chapter 4 if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul you'll find me but not just if you look for me even after you've made all of the sins in the world to the point where you worship the god of wood the man-made God of wood and the man-made God of stone which by the way as we know from the r it's Christianity and Islam even after you make all those sins and chapter 4 verse 4 four uh chapter 4: 29 from there you will seek Hashem your God and you will find him if you search for him with all your heart and all your soul which means if you want to find AEM you have to actually look not like you look for the cat behind the garbage you don't find him I'll buy new one you have to actually dedicate your life to finding AEM and that's what we started doing so 24 hours a day we're looking for hem 24 hours a day I'm I'm learning to I'm trying to sleep maybe two three hours a day I'm becoming very very obsessive and a little bit of crazy she's wake you know she goes to sleep wakes up at a normal hour and I'm like this honey look I have more proofs what what do you want and more proofs look look this this there this so then one day hasem obviously after enough tears a lot of Tears a lot of prayers a lot of arguments Hashem finally sends his salvation YouTube recommends another video It's called called Torah and science so now the Torah and Science by itself should be a lecture just the uh the story about my about what happened with Tor and science we watch well I tell listen Torah and science we actually been reading Rabbi zamir Cohen's book you know every uh you know every so often we read a few pages you know we like science we like Torah it's nice seems interesting okay all right fine put it on already same arrogant guy okay fine I'll read we watch part one there's three parts Again part one both of us at the end of it amazed we didn't know all this stuff existed really this is what it says we're looking at verses we're showing something out of this world it's the most amazing thing that you could ever imagine the best experience ever like wow we have to watch part two it's 2 o'clock in the morning click on part two doesn't work look for it somewhere else click on part two doesn't work Satan's working overtime now I have a little bit of a scratch just so you know I'm the kind of person that reads the preface of a book and it says the project of M Heritage Foundation and the names of all the people that contributed all the way to the end of the book I read everything I'm the guy they wrote it for so now I I think there's at least one guy maybe somebody else reads it but I think I'm the only guy but anyway I have to do things in order a little bit of a scratch so now part two doesn't work we can't watch part three but I'm seeing her she's really interested I'm like you know what part one was so good all right you know what let's just watch part three watch part three now we know for sure the Torah is divine there's no question at all God is real the Torah is the document but we still have we're missing something now she knows that there's a problem with Christianity but she still didn't get the sign she still didn't get to 100% but she she did get to emptiness she got to nothing so she prayed that night that either show her the sign show her proof give her something or kill her because she doesn't want me to go to Gom because she knows that if she stays with me I'm going to Gom and she can't deal with the fact that she has to leave me so that's what she prays for now her prayers they actually get to sh hopefully mine get to the ceiling the next morning hasem answers her she wakes up T horrible mood and I finally found at 6:00 in the morning lecture number two Works she's all angry I'm like honey I got number two I got number two she so can you know us fine fine fine we watched number one and two one and three he wasn't so bad this time fine I watch number number two number two if anyone remembers is when mizi talks about the Torah codes but not only talks about the Torah codes he talks about the very same chapter that I just read to you chapter 4 in Deuteronomy right before if you seek for Hashem you'll find him before that Hashem in verse 27 says hem will scatter you among the people and you will be left few in number among the Nations where hm will lead you there you will serve Gods the handiwork of man of wood and stone which do not see and do not hear and do not eat and do not smell here M showed in the Hebrew obviously which I'll read in the second is the only place that you can actually see not only that it's obvious who the false god of wood is we don't need to be a genius to figure that one out or the false god of stone is which according to Christianity they don't read this part apparently because no one knows this but in the Torah codes you could actually find both of their names inside this verse if you skip 49 letters you go you start from the he is the first letter you skip 49 letters you get to you skip 49 letters I believe if I remember correctly 49 letters and you uh um you get to the me that's Mecca same word AIT which is the first word Hashem will scatter meaning you start with UD skip 49 letters you get to shama which is Shen you skip 49 letters you get to which is the same ending word that you found Mecca in the me you find V you find JC he always wanted a place in the Torah he goes he got himself a place right next to idol worship for me it was pretty cool I mean I've seen some Torah codes before but for her it was everything if there was a bet next to her she would convert on the spot but n i could convert like listen I'm not so sure maybe this maybe that day one everything learning everything became the biggest s that I personally know has been telling all of you for years spend some time doing kiru I left everything that I could possibly think of dream of and everything that I was good at to make the biggest investment in my life which is all of my time doyu I wasn't a fool I knew how to invest I can go back to Wall Street and make money but that's not what Hashem sent me for training he sent me to Wall Street for 16 years to train to teach me to speak and to eventually create more Jews we have a lot of businessmen in the world we don't have enough Jews now that CD that someone gave that person that sponsored this Shu the person that taped it the person that's handing it out changed my life and for the last few years we've been doing K trying to help people do CH and and tomorrow one of my students is going to the bed and converting so every one of us needs to know one thing if you do kiru and I'll finish it off with this you could all take it into account inph the Jeremiah tells us verse 19 Hashem is telling us a little bit about kiru most of us have a hard time either doing chuva in the beginning it's hard for us to builda it's hard for us to change our surroundings it's hard for us to connect 100% takes time makes effort you have to sweat you have to look for AEM with all of your heart and all of your soul he really meant it when he wrote it soem says there is a little bit of help that I can give you if you do something small therefore thus said hasem if you repent I'll bring you back and land you and let you stand before me meaning your Chua is always accepted even if someone that's someone that's making other people sin even though doesn't have the same as we learned from [Music] he could still do chuv chuv is open for everyone even if he gets to a point of doing idol worship he could still do chuva obviously has to suffer and go to a tun but nonetheless chuva is available and AEM says once you finish your Chua you complete your Chua you'll stand right next to me I'll accept you like all of my Jews my entire nation but if you bring forth an honorable person meaning a righteous person from a glutton then you will be like my mouth if you do chuva you'll stand next to me eventually complete your chuva it's a big deal but if you help someone else do Chua what does you'll be like my mouth mean the midash has many many things about it and so does the and so does several other books but I'll read only a couple things to give you a little bit of understanding the mid on on 116 uses this verse it says hasem says to the sikim I am the Creator the ones that do kiru I'm the creator of the worlds and bring back the dead you're the same your prayers just like ra M has been telling us for many many years that the people in thear that are named by name they were able to revive the dead it's not that they had power but their prayers got a VIP treatment which means that if you spend time every day out of your busy schedule to help one of his children whether it's by giving him a CD helping a k Rabbi that's changed my life and I'm sure many of yours or all of yours supporting kiru putting links if you're already on the internet enough with the sports and maybe put some links for the you spend some time every day not just once a week once in a while but every day doing something for arrange get people to come something says you have a special deal your prayers that hav't been answered you have the secret spend some time doing kiru the zor says if people knew the value of helping somebody do chva they'd run around in the streets like crazy people looking for looking for people that are not religious in one of the that said he said someone that's a sadik that's born into a right family goes to school becomes a very righteous person a big sadik he gets to the which is right next to the angels of God gets right next to them nice place but someone that's a star meaning a star is using seph Danel as a source in several other places a star a star is someone that spends time doing K he gets to a level higher than he's the only one there's only room for him only kiru people are there it's a big deal when I was in the Wall Street the only thing I did is invest that's all I knew and I'm sure all of you know a little bit of Torah I'm sure all of you know a few people that are not religious and there's a very big disparagement between the religious and non-religious world people that are religious think that the non-religious just don't want to do it they don't realize that most of them just don't know so the only thing I can tell you is that if you have some Torah knowledge if you have some discs if you have some money if you have some time if you have anything if you care about hem you have to spend five
