SHELACH: Emunah In The Wonders of HaShem | STUMP THE RABBI (235)

This is not a tale, not a myth, not folklore. This is memory etched into our bones. The sound of Hashem still in our soul. bricks broke to open each plague a message I control it all in these free [Music] willckle No other stood fires it would have been done by nations chasing the sunision. [Music] walked in and we sang as the corpses floated by no other stood and heard his name. Not a dream, not a few million saw that fire burns would have been done by nation [Music] of us. Notions. [Music] He brought us back to finish the first two commandments. This was not transmission. This was not [Music] the dreamer. [Music] to change the law. [Music] And that has never happened again. [Music] But how can you change the unchange? How can you [Music] see this isn't about pride? It's not about heritage. It's about truth. If someone says God came to me, we say he already came to all of us. [Music] that we were there. We saw the fire. We made a not but through experience. So nothing [Music] because we are still here and so is the Torah. This is not our story. This is our identity and it can never be replaced. We're back here on our Wednesday night stump the rabbi where after some you guys will ask some questions will give us some answers tonight is going to be for the for all of that's under attack but is getting endless wonders and miracles from open for anyone that still has spiritual eyes to See how much people need need these eyes in order to seek's wonders even though they're literally everywhere. Unfortunately, people are sometimes too blind to see what's in front of them hiding in plain sight. So tonight is for the of all of Is whether they're in the exile or they're in it they're in wherever they are for them to have of their eyes to be able to see the wonders of and also for the for and all of the righteous No hides. Anyone that wants to be mentioned in the lectures for for sponsor and so on, you can go out to our website and become one of the sponsors for our lectures like some people choose to do and and end end up getting uh endless merits uh in their uh spiritual account forever as a result of the lecture that we're able to do is because of uh their support. So you could do that on our website bzashem.org Of course, anyone that wants to uh anyone that wants to uh uh support the new campaign we have for uh the uh many families that are reaching out to us uh especially since we're advertising it. We're looking for them for anyone that has been damaged by the uh missiles, lost their house, uh become homeless, uh you know, all types of different things that unfortunately have been happening over this last week. We're reaching out. We're publicizing everywhere that we're going to try to do our best to help as many people as possible uh financially, give them food, give them some basics as much as we possibly can. anyone that uh is in need certainly you can reach out to us uh and uh if it's true and we can verify that what you're saying is true be happy to help you as much as possible and anyone that wants to help us help more people could donate at the campaign page that we have uh which you could also find on our website as well as in the comments and uh on our social media pages. So with that we uh are going to get started. We're going to get started because at one end there's so much to talk about at another end we rely on a kadosh to put the beautiful Torah in our mouth so we're able to speak them appropriately so people could truly understand and see the miracles that are in open daylight uh and right in front of people. We have over a,000 missiles. Over a thousand missiles have been shot at Israel. Over a thousand missiles. For anyone that hasn't seen, these missiles are gigantic. Literally huge. Enormous. Uh they're they're they're like literally flying trucks. Enormous uh missiles that are being shot. These are not the little rockets made at home by kamas. These are enormous rockets. The only thing that resembles it is what Hussein is. But despite all of these rockets, we have endless wonders from to save am uh from death, from destruction. Uh the majority of them are missing or being shot down or all types of uh extraordinary miracles are happening. And if that was not enough, if you just simply look at how much success Akadosh is putting in the hands of Amis when they're attacking the Amalik Iranians uh with their planes maneuvering things that are against the laws of nature uh against the laws of physics doing all types of things where literally a bullet could literally uh you know be shown that shot right at the plane but it's as if the plane goes right through it and it doesn't affect it. All types of amazing things are happening is showing us his wonders. But unfortunately, not everyone has the eyes to see. Not just today, but for the last 3,000 years in we're going to learn about a very important topic in the wonders of Hashem. Now excluding the atheist who choose to deny belief in a superior power due to their arrogance, most people are fast to believe in the wonders of Hashem. People believe yes, Hashem cures, Hashem gives money, all types of different beliefs or some miracle that happened a long time ago like the splitting of the ocean and the plagues. People don't have much of a difficulty believing in these things. whether they are far away from them like yes it happened 3,000 years ago or it's very near to them where it happened to them that they saw that they got a cure they saw that they got palasan and so on yet those very same people that say that they have amunai and hashem's wonders and hem they love to hear lectures about amuna read books about amuna. Who doesn't like to hear amuna stories? But yet dealing with the public for over a decade now in the world of Torah and getting literally hundreds of questions every other every other day. It's just literally there's 24 hours a day. all types of issues, all types of problems, all types of questions and doing my best to try to help everyone in their own way. You see this time and time again where as soon as people those very same people that have a hashem are in a what they believe is an impossible difficulty or they hear something whether it's from my lecture or somewhere else they hear something that is beyond their logical capacity. Then you see the questioning and a disbelief start pouring out of those people. Why is it that some people have such difficulty having complete amuna blind faith in Hashem while others do not? To answer this question, we're going to dig into parach along with some of the most wondrous stories the sages ever told. Perhaps then we will answer this question and also help you that's watching uncover where your red line of amuna limitation is. Also this will be followed by your questions which we will be happy to answer. So is the parad that has many midashi many stories many laws that are learned from it. Whether it's the mal Shabbat that gets death penalty or it's learning about sit or even learning about which way the Jewish people bury a person once he dies which is on their face all types of things are ina but of course there's also amazing stories and we're going to try to learn a little bit of Musar and a few of them in the We hear that am is does not trust in Hashem. Yes. The very same people that are considered the highest level of Isel in history. The generation of knowledge. They had knowledge of Hashem. They saw and heard God's voice. These very same people heard that God promised them the land of milk and honey. But yet they wanted to investigate, doublech check. They want a source. They want to send mleim spies to the land to go see what's there. It wasn't enough to hear God's promise. Among the miracle, one for each tribe. Among them were Khune and Yeshua Benoon twoim angels of tells us and we also see this in Chronicles that Ben wasn't really his real name. He had many names but he's called Ben because he was wholehearted covive all heart wholeheartedly with Hashem and against the spies against anybody that's against Hashem and Benune his father's name wasn't Yafun but rather the sages teach us that he who He went against the spies wicked plot. Meaning that his brave act to stand up for Hashem against everyone, not just the spies. The whole nation was against Hashem. His act not only defined him during that day but defined him for eternity. And each time he's mentioned in the Tanakh whether it's by the same name or a different name that he had it's always has to do with this glorious act. Yeshuaun gets a blessing from Moshe Abenu. He adds a letter to his name, but Kh does not. And therefore, as soon as Khal realized that the spies have an evil plot, they're looking for something wrong with Israel. He knew that he has to get a special blessing. So, he went to But before we get to, we want to see what did Mosheu instruct them to look for. Aside from seeing how the land is, look at the people. Are they strong? Are they weak? Are they few? Are they numerous? Is it a good land where you see things are growing? Are the city cities there where people are dwelling there? Is it open? Is it closed? Do they have fortification protecting them? Are there? But then says, "Is there a tree in it or not? You shall strengthen yourself and take from the fruit of the land. Now we already Mosha Benu already asked if the land is fruitful which would mean there has to be trees. And why is he asking if there's only one tree? That's because he's not referring to a to a tree. Rather the gimatri numerical value of it it's telm 160 for telm and 160 for it and the sages teach us is there a image there someone that's a leader a righteous person and rashi says mosherenu was investigating if job the prophet who was a sadik if he's still alive because if he is if he is go and strengthen yourself go learn from him. Get from him. Get a from him. Get a from him. Get fruit from that tree. The first thing we wanted to address is when people have family problems or financial problems or whatever other issues that uh lead them to want to move, whether they want to make aliyah or move to a different place. What do people usually investigate? The average person usually looks at the prices. How much are the houses? Maybe can I get a job over there? Can I do business there? Usually the questions are connected with money. But our sages tell us otherwise. that if one wants to decide where to live, money should not be the only priority. In fact, if money is the only priority, you may lose on both accounts. tells us what one of the sages asked answered someone that asked him if he would be willing to move community. The in chapter 6 Mishna number nine says once I was walking on the road when a certain man met me he greeted me and I returned his greeting showing that good mannerisms doesn't matter if the person is important very religious or not somebody says is hello. Say hello. In fact, is known to be the one that always said hello to everyone before they would say hello to him, Jews and Gentiles. Now, hello doesn't mean go stop every time you see somebody and have a 20-minute conversation, but simply showing a nice face. So, Abio Kisma is walking around. He's on a journey. He's taking a trip as some of the sages often did and he ran into a Jew and this Jew says to the rabbi, "Rabbi, from what place are you, where do you live?" I said to him, "I'm from the great city of scholars and sages. I live in a place." He doesn't You tell him, "Oh, I live in Italy. I live in Tel Aviv. I live in Florida. I live in New York. No, that's not doesn't the name of the city is irrelevant. What's in the city is of critical importance. I am in a city of that's what is valuable. That's the reason I live there. Not because of the weather, of the uh monetary supply there. No, no. I'm in a city of. So this man says to him, "Rabbi, would you be willing to live with us in our place? I would give you thousands upon thousands of golden dins, precious stones and pearls." This guy was a multi-millionaire that ran into into the rabbi. He wasn't just an average Joe. This was a multi-millionaire who is now offering bin Kisma millions and millions of dollars. Just come live with us. Unfortunately, in today's world, not only do people not offer money for rabbis to move into their community, most of the time, even if they invite somebody for a lecture, usually they don't even want to pay. People always say, "Oh, Rabbi, where are you going to come to New York? You come to California? You're going to come to Honolulu? Wherever it is that you want me to come to?" I say, "Oh, listen. When somebody sponsors a lecture, arranges something, brings a few hundred people together, guarantees there's going to be a lot of people, I'll come." Well, what do you have to do that? You have to invest. You have to do marketing. You have to do a lot of different things. If you don't want to, we could do it for you, but you have to come up with the money. Oh, okay. Okay. And then they disappear 90% of the time. 99.9% of the time. Why? Because this just the reality. People don't People want for free. So here this multi-millionaire is offering bin Kis extraordinary amounts of money. You ask any rabbi today, listen rabbi, you live where? You live in Jerusalem. You live in uh New York. You live in Florida. How about this? What are you what's your salary now? How about we multiply your salary by a 100 times? Come move by us. Most people are on the plane the next day despite the difficulty, the agony, the headaches and so on. You that much money. Sure. Khim didn't do that. I says to him, I replied and I told him, "Even if you are to give me all of the silver and the gold precious stones and pearls in the world, not just the millions of dollars, the hund00 million contract that you just offered me. Multiply the hund00 million by infinity. I would not dwell anywhere aside from a place of Torah. As we learned from David, I prefer the Torah of your mouth above thousands and gold and silver. Here we see what the cared about. what the cared about and explains it. Why did he make this decision? Why did he say no? Says because yes, you may have a nice city. They may have nice buildings over there. They may have a lot of money over there. They may even have a Jewish community there. But do you have there or do you have just you know people that have the job of a rabbi but they're just friends with everyone. They don't tell anybody what to do. Like the heretic manis writes in his book the uh I didn't ask to come to the world. He says we're not allowed to tell people what to do. We have to care about people but don't you're never allowed to tell anybody what to do which is 100% heresy to say such a thing. Why? One of the inra is you're obligated to rebuke each other. You're obligated to tell people when they're doing something wrong. But he literally has so many heresies written in his book that had we written all of them. This book instead of being this big, it would literally be bigger than the Tanakh. So, we just picked cherrypicked the worst ones. But anyone that reads this book, I already had a few reach out to me, tell me, "Thank you for sending this to me. I didn't know it was that bad." They love the wisdom that's in this because it not only talks about manis the whole introduction the first I don't know 30 pages or so talk about when you're allowed to say something that could even be considered but it's a mitzvah to do it. What is heresy? What do famous heretics have in common? The introduction is absolutely fantastic. A lot of laws, a lot of different details. This is not just a he said, she said. This is quoting the exactly what he wrote and what he said word for word and then quoting endless hundreds and hundreds of sources of the Torah are in this. Anyone that wants to understand what Torah is about heresy, about going against heretics, about understanding the difference between a mistake and a wicked act. This book is a gift to the generation. We've already printed 25,000 copies. They're being distributed in Israel. In America, I think already at this point, we've already reached well over 10,000 copies have been distributed in just the last couple of weeks. You want to get yourself a box to distribute in your community, you can go to the Kir store. It's for free. Lots of money being invested into fighting Amalik. But Kisma is telling us he has something critical that most people do not consider. A lot of people tell me, "Listen, I'm thinking of moving from, you know, my Lakewood or different places in America to Florida. It's uh I hear there's a good uh it's good over there." Well, what's good? What Well, why are you leaving a place that you're in to go to Florida? Why? You heard things. Why? Why are you leaving? Why? Oh, I think maybe uh my wife will have more friends there. Who says that's a good thing? Who says it's a good thing that your wife's going to have more friends? From my experience, women that have a lot of friends tend to be more inclined to get a divorce as soon as there's problems in the marriage. Why? Because when she has a lot of friends, she also has a lot of opinions. And she also has a few friends that are also divorced. And since the majority of people's opinions about divorce are very liberal, there's always going to be one that tells you, "Yeah, you shouldn't let him treat you that way. You should divorce him." So having a lot of friends comes with a price. Not really sure why people think that's such a good thing. Not saying be alone, but having a lot of friends never heard anything like being a good thing. Not even in the secular world. But needless to say, we're back here. Why did he say all this? He says, "When a man departs from this world, neither silver nor gold, nor precious stones nor pearls come with him. None of it escorts him out of this world. But only the Torah studying good deeds." As it says, "When you walk, it shall guide you. When you lie down, it shall guard you. And when you wake, it shall speak on your behalf. Here tells you before you make a move, whether it's to Israel or to different parts of America or England or wherever it is that you want to go, your number one question should be, "What does my rabbi think about that? If you have a rabbi, if you don't have a rabbi, then you already have a different problem. If your rabbi is in one city, only foolish people move away from their rabbi. Why? The says, "If your rabbi leaves the country, follow him wherever he goes. follow him to find somebody that's willing to be a rabbi, somebody that you could trust, somebody that you could tell everything to, somebody that you can get guidance from. If he goes across the ocean, run after him. If he needs money, give him everything. But people don't understand the value of Kisma who is himself one of the greatest sages that ever lived says I'm not leaving a city of just to be surrounded by a bunch of rich people that spend a half a million dollars on watches. When the average person out there thinks about this automatically they understand that the number one thing you should look at wherever you live or want to live is what are you connected to in that place? What are you connected to in that place? They may be but you're not connected to them because you don't go you don't ask. They just exist there. and you just exist there. Big waste, waste of opportunity. Why do people not take advantage of these opportunities or move away from or don't consider to be the number one priority of why they should move to a place? Answer, they do not have they do not believe in the wonders of hem that speaks through the brings miracles through the they don't believe that because had they believed it they would do everything possible to cleave onto the just like the Torah says cleave onto Hashem he is a burning fire so the says how can you cleave onto Hashem if he's a burning fire simple you don't cleave onto Hashem you cleave on to his and by cleaving to You're connected to Hashemu who's the prophet of all prophets. What could anybody teach that he doesn't know? That he hasn't taught is he doesn't know. Over there there's another go get a blessing from him. Go get a guidance from him. Go learn Torah from him. That's what you just look in the city. But the midash tells us that when they got to Kanan, Job died and the giants were burying him. The giants were burying him. Who are these giants? Torah clearly says this is not a midash. This is not a not that they're insificant, but this is literal Torah that says in this par and several other places, this was a place where the giants lived. The spies came back with a report saying, "Listen, we came and we saw your we saw a Shashai Talmay. These are famous giants. We were like grasshoppers in their eyes." People believe in what they see on TV and on the internet, but when they hear giants, like, nah, come on. But it says in the Torah, you don't believe this. You're a kufel. Somebody doesn't believe even a single word, a single letter in a Torah, it's considered a heretic, a picos. Now, interestingly enough, the before they see these giants, as I said, goes to he goes to and he sees Elzar. One of the 10 people that went to Gan alive with his clothes on was charged with guarding the place where his master of is buried in different times throughout history. This was seen in fact the has a story of one of the kakam who his profession was to measure graves. That was his profession. And he went to the because he wanted to measure the graves of Yakov also to see what we can learn from there. And when he got there, he saw Elzer Ev and he asked him for permission if he could enter and go see the grave of uh of Raavinu and said I have to ask he's here. Ra says, "Yeah, I went and I saw next to I measured and then I wanted to measure the grave of which is a floor down the it's not just a cave, one floor that people go to today and pray. That floor that you go to and pray was actually built by the Arabs. The floor below it was built by Herod. Herod the Great. They called him great but also killed a lot of sages. But he built beautiful structures. Fixed the betach after he killed many sages as a form of chuva. is a very fanatical person. He built the second floor but the third floor below that that's where buried and below that is below that is now at the time of the we're talking about 1500 years ago is going to measure the grave he went to he went to the place where But years later in the uh year 1180 of Regensburg who also traveled to the Middle East visited and he wrote that it's no longer allowed to go to the first level of the uh cave and you could only prayer pray in the in the prayer room above it which is the level level that Herod built and is suck in this world became suck in Shamim and in the year 1266 86 years later there was a ban against the Jews visiting and that ban is till this day. In fact, for 700 years, no Jew entered that level after the six day war some 60 years ago. War of I'm sorry. Yeah, the six day war 1967. The Israelis took over the section and for the first time in 700 years, a Jew entered Mar and the general of the Israelis was Moshe who was a thief and but nonetheless very famous. He used to discover different archaeological discoveries, Jewish uh uh artifacts and he would during his wars and he would steal them and take it for himself. This is famous. This is not uh millions and millions of dollars worth of stuff. He would take to himself. Anyway, he wanted to see what's in there, but the the hole to get into that section was very small. So, they got a 12-year-old girl that was the uh daughter of one of the other uh soldiers under the command of Mosha Dan. And this 12-year-old girl named Mik Mikbel became the first Jew in over 700 years to enter that section of she took pictures, measurements in the uh book by uh Sha Shimon Deutsch uh from the uh Torah museum, living Torah museum. He has a lot of interesting things in there that I'm looking at, pictures and some stuff that we saw in his museum. He has a series of books about each paras, different things that archaeological finds and uh all types of interesting things in there with. But here he has a picture of the girl going into the hole. over here. Tiny little hole. That's what she she was the only one that was able to fit. And here is the picture she took. But this level was the level that Herod built. Not where that she didn't go to. Now when people hear the story that when he saw alive, some people have an easy time believing and some people question it. Maybe it was a dream. Maybe it's a parable. Maybe it's this. No, no. This is what happened. It's not the first time or the last time this happened. When people hear certain things, whether it's giants or extraordinary stories of the if they don't have a strong am in Hashem, they have a very difficult time believing. I'm going to give you a few stories from the that not everybody tells because there's a limitation in people's minds of where and how far Hashem's wonders get to. So typically when somebody asks about these stories, unless the rabbi knows that this person has strong amun understands, they'll just tell them, "No, it's you could just learn mousar from them. They're good stories, but it's not real." But in reality, the rashbam many say that the majority of these stories that I'm about to mention to you are 100% what happened. Some of them are clearly mashim but some of them are clearly 100%. This is what happened. One of the Rabi Abba Gabba or also known as Gaba used to travel and during these travels he would have he would have these extraordinary things happen to him. we would have Hashem wanted somebody to see it. And there's a whole section of stories here, 15, 20 stories that one is more miraculous than the other just explaining to us a little bit, tiny bit about the wonders of Hashem. People ask all the time. Just the other day, somebody asked me, "Is there any archaeological proofs that the Jews died in the desert?" So I told him, "Yeah, there's a book you could look at has many different archaeological finds. A book recently that was also translated to English by Rabbi Zamir Cohen. There's a lot of different things there." "Oh, but what about Wikipedia?" he asks me. I don't know about Wikipedia, whether they have it or don't have it. What am I? Uh the Wikipedia police, the internet police. I have no idea what people Oh, so it doesn't exist, he tells me. Meaning if it's not where he wants it to be, then it doesn't exist. People like that, usually they get blocked because I don't have the patience for stupid people. But for sure, if they're watching this, they should shut off the lecture now because the things they're about to hear, they're not going to believe. So the first story here says says I myself saw a young of one day old. You know the famous animal. I told you several stories about it in the past. One of the times that it was at the time of David a young started going wild in the city destroying a bunch of buildings. was so big that literally every footstep would destroy a building. So this is a thousand years after more than a thousand years after says in my travels I saw a young that was only one day old. How big was he? He was the size of Mount Tav. Huge mountain. That's how big he was. showing us here that they all come all the same size. This thing was an enormous giant thing, much bigger than any dinosaur some movie created. This is a real thing. And he says when this young excreted dung went to the bathroom, it damned the Jordan River. The entire river of Jordan River, huge river, became stuck, became like a wall until the waste dissolved over time. Now, for somebody to believe what the movie say, some dinosaur, some lizard with a lot of teeth running after people, people believe that. When the movies tell people that there's some creepy looking bugs that have the ability to make spaceships because they saw it in the movie. They believe it, but you tell them, "Listen, there was an animal just a couple thousand years ago that it's the size of a mountain." Tell come on, where? How come we don't see the bones? What? Just because you don't see the bones doesn't exist. What? You looked at everywhere? You think people looked everywhere, they found everything? Furthermore, this is just a small story. As I told you, it gets bigger and bigger. These stories, gets bigger and bigger. Uh Barbakana says once we were going on a ship and we saw a certain fish where there was sand on its back and a meadow sprouted upon it. We thought it was an island. So, we got on it, got off the boat, we got on this island, and we started baking and cooking on it. But when the back of this fish got hot from the fire, it turned over. And if not for the fact that the ship was right next to us, we would have all drowned. This fish was so enormous. This is not like the whales that you see on Discovery Channel and on the internet that you know different people take pictures of. No, we're talking about something that literally so big it's like an island and doesn't move much apparently. That's how big it was. He says another time We're going in a desert and we saw certain geese whose feathers fell out because of their excessive fat and streams of oil would drip from them and they were flowing beneath them. Meaning these geese were so enormous that when a feather would fall from it, it would literally bring sustenance to the people. I said to them, we will we have a portion of you in one of the geese raised its wing in reply. Said, yes. And another one also raised its thigh. When I came before Rab Lazal and I told him the story, Rab Lazar was concerned. Why? He says, "Israel is going to be held accountable because of these geese." Why? He says, "Because these geese, they're being prepared. Hashem has them as part of the reward for the righteous at the time of Msiah. So, they keep growing bigger and bigger. because eventually they're going to be slaughtered and going to be part of the feasts of the righteous people. And because there are wicked people that are delaying the Messiah, they're going to get punished not only for their sins, they're going to get punished for making these geese suffer. Another time says we were in a desert one of his journeys and they met this Arab merchant but this Arab merchant wasn't like the uh many of the foolish Arabs throwing rocks today in missiles and terrorists. This Arab was a learned person and actually had an expertise so impressive that it's even mentioned in the also showing how unbiased the sages are when they seem says wisdom in the in the Gentiles believe. Yeah, I believe there's there's there's wisdom in the in the Torah in the don't have but sure they have. Now says we met this Arab And he would take earth from the ground and smell it. And he would be able to tell us exactly the way to go to a different place just by smelling the sand and exactly how far we are. Now this sounds unbelievable. You tell me you take a piece of sand, you can smell it, and just from the smelling, you tell us not only the directions to another city, to another place, to a location, but exactly how far it is. So I tested him. I gave him some sand. He smelled it. I told him how far we are from such and such city. Says based on the smell, we are eight par. For lack of explanation, just think of about 20 miles away. We're 20 miles away from this location. We continued going. And then we asked him again, how far are we now? He got uh we gave him some sand. He smelled it. He said, "Okay, only three pellet left. Kabya says, "I switched it around. I wanted to see really if he could tell the difference between one sand and the other. I switched it around. I gave the sand that from the eight p I ke I kept it and I gave it to him to smell again but I couldn't best him." Meaning he knew exactly. No, no, this is the sand from 20 miles ago. This is not from Sanier. So this Arab was an expert. He knew exactly where a lot of things were. And the Arab merchant says to us, "Come, I will show you those that died during the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness of Sai at the time of Mosherenu. You want to go see the Jewish people that died in the desert to say answering the question of that fool that sent me a message the other day. If there is proofs that uh uh the Jews died in the desert, archaeological, it's an it's an you don't believe in you're a ghost. You're a heretic. No different than atheists. So this Arab says, "Yeah, you want to know what? You want to go see the Jews that died in the desert, you know, every year because they got punished after this week's par. Every year they on they would all make a grave, dig a grave for themselves and sleep in there and Hashem would decide who's going to wake up and who's not every year. So the Arab merchant said, "You want to go see them?" We said, "Sure." He took us exactly there. We saw them. They saw the bodies. Says their faces were shining. Meaning these people, even though Hashem punished them, they were so righteous that their flesh was still on them 2,000 years after they died. And they were lying on their backs from there. By the way, this is the the pasan from here as a source of how we bury Jews from here from this story. Meaning this is a real story. This is not a uh parable. And I specifically say it now because of the next bit of information Rabi Abba says to us. And the knee of one of them meaning the people that they that were buried the knee of one of them was raised. Meaning just imagine person is laying down and his knee is raised in such a way like a triangle if you will. His knee was raised and the Arab merchant entered meaning entered the grave. This was not something where it was a tiny little hole in the ground. He entered the grave and went under the knee of the dead person while riding on his camel and his spear held upright and still it did not touch the leg of the dead person. Meaning this person that they went into his grave that still had his flesh on that was still righteous that was so shining was enormous in comparison to us. Enormous. When I told people years ago for the first time that the says that Musher Benu was 10 am tall which is 20 feet and he was able to jump 20 feet in the air and his stick was another 20 ft long and after jumping with the stick at the top of his hand he only reached the ankle of OGashan. When some people heard this like no you really are you sure that was really that tall? What is he a giant? No he wasn't a giant. Today he would be considered a giant because we are smaller. But in his time he wasn't. In fact says all of the had to be at least 20 feet tall in order for them to carry the kuresh because of the way the kesh was. If they were any shorter then by having the stick on their shoulder the would hit the floor. They had to be 20 feet tall. All the levime. So in his generation Mosha Abenu being 20t tall was normal. And in fact we see here from this story Mosha Abenu was not even the tallest because this person whoever it was that died they went into his grave. He was clearly a righteous person. Still has his flesh on his body. They walked inside his grave. They walked under his knee. He's riding a camel. Do you know how big a camel is? When you're on top of a camel, you're already five, six feet in the air. And on top of it, he has his spear in his hand straight up. We're talking about this is somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe 10, 15 feet in the air, like the top of the spear from the camel. And it's still not touching the knee, the bent knee. That's how big he was. And then Abi Abba says also to impress upon us, this is not a parable. I cut off a corner of the garment of one of them. Meaning there was multiple people buried there and he cut off the tit off of it. They were buried with tit because Hashem in this week's par said that those that uh followed the spies are going to die in a desert. All of them meaning everything with them their clothes are part of them. So they all got buried with sit on today the tradition is not to bury with it but nonetheless they did. So Kaba cut off a corner of the tit so he could show it to the what he saw and also they could learn from it how the chich was if it's the same thing as how paskin but as soon as I took it off I couldn't move became disabled when the Arabs saw saw me. He said, "Perhaps you took something from them." Said, "Yeah, how do you know?" He says, "Because we have a tradition, since we've been here many times, that whoever takes anything from them, from these that are buried here, anyone that takes anything from them becomes disabled, cannot move on." Says, "I returned it. I dropped it over there. And I was able to move. As a side note, the sages got mad at Rabba. Not because he cut off the because he didn't get he didn't look enough at it himself. Okay, you can't take it. At least investigate yourself and tell us what you saw. He didn't have enough details about the tit to satisfy the another time asa is with this Arab merchant the Arab merchant tells him you want to come see Mount Sai he says sure he says I went and I saw they got close to Mount Sai and then they saw scorpions but not the scorpions that people Rather, these scorpions are what the Torah mentions scared the life out of am at the time of Yamsuf. They got the Yamsuf. In front of them is the water. Behind them is Par and his entire army. On the right and the left are giant snakes and scorpions. What's giant? Rabi says the scorpions were like white donkeys. They were huge, enormous scorpions. Imagine a scorpion the size of a donkey, a horse. That's the scorpions that were there. Now, somebody hearing this, they don't have any amuna in Hashem. Or they have amuna, but the amuna with limitations, they'll say, "Nah, come on. The only scorpions that exist are the ones that I see on Discovery Channel. They're like this big. They're scary. Some of them are even really dangerous, but they're small. They're not uh Why you telling me even in the movies they don't make them that big? What's in the Torah is not only emit. It's not only the truth. It's much more than the human imagination could ever get to if only people knew what's in the Torah, what actually existed. And we're not talking about at the time of Mosher Rabenu. This is 1500 years ago. Mosher Rabenu was 3,300 years ago. Ababa says, "I went to Mount Si and I saw scorpions the size of donkeys. And then a heavenly voice came out. He heard the voice of Hashem." Woe unto me that I have sworn to exile my people. Shem was still crying over his own children. Another time went with this Arab merchant. He told him, "Okay, now you want to go see where Kak is buried?" He said, "Sure. Come, I'll show you." He took him to a place here. This is the place where the ground swallowed up. I went and I saw that there's two cracks in the ground and there's smoke coming out of it. So the Arab took a wool shearings, soaked them in water and stuck them on the point on the pointed head of the spear and then he put it inside the cracks. When he took it out, they were all singed like as it went into lava. So the Arab told me, "Harken to one you hear." Meaning pay attention to what I'm saying to you. I heard that these people were saying inside here I hear them. What did they say? are and they meaning the ones that are in there and we are the liars and the Arabs said to me this happens every 30 days why because they're shaking up in gum kovak is still in gum whoever followed him is still in gay all the people that are supporting manis freedman may join or replace this place in gum moment. Certainly Manis and his uh and his uh managers of the channel that spam my phone and left leave me annoying messages. That's their future. in fact is a uh our new book that has indisputable proof that Manis Freedman and everything he says and everyone that follows in his footsteps have no share of the world to come and it's 100% happy Kut the manager of his channel the guy that calls himself his number one fan who is now preaching the lies like his like his uh like his master does. He also got a copy of the book. He took a picture with one of my students holding the book. I'll show it to you guys. I'll put it on YouTube. And then he calls me, leaves messages about he's happy that his is being spread. What? A picole suit is being spread. you know when what their end is going to be. This is exactly this about them is saying Moshe and his are and we are the liars. That's what Manis and his followers are going to say including the rabbis that are supporting him and saying the same nonsense as him. All of them are going to be the same. Moshe and his met and we are liars. That's what they're going to say forever. And this Arab is telling this happens every 30 days. Why every 30 days? Because like meat, they're stirred up in a cauldron. And the meat and the uh and it turns and every 30 days they get to a point right under this hole that we could hear them screaming. They're always screaming this. But we can't hear it because gay is so big where they're being burned. We can only hear it when they're right under this hole. He also shows them a point of the earth where the earth and the heaven uh touch each other. And then the other also talk about extraordinary stories they had wherean says that he was once on a ship and he saw a fish that when he stuck his head out of the sea, it was so big that his two eyes looked like two moons. And the water that gushed out of his nostrils was like two rivers of the surah. Talk about something much more enormous than was ever recorded on video. About says, "Yeah, we also saw something different fish though. We were on a ship and we saw a fish that when he stuck his head out of the sea, he had horns and on the horns it was engraved. I am only a small creature of the sea and I am 300 long. This is immeasurable size. I am only a small creature of the sea. I'm 300 pals long. And I'm going to go to the mouth of the Livatan. the Levi. I told you guys about the Levian in the past. And Rabashi says, "Oh yeah, that fish. I know that fish. He's called a sea goat." Isa the yama. He's a sea goat who searches for his food and has horns. Meaning y we're familiar with this. You're not the only one that saw him. We saw too. Yeah, we know this guy. And there is endless wondrous stories that continue not just here across the spectrum of the Torah. So when the Torah tells us in this week's para that the spies said we saw these giants and we were so small next to them that we were like grasshoppers next to them. Number one, we see that not all of them were so small like anybody in human size today because as we saw from what he just said, how enormous this person was that they went on a camel and they're still under his knee. Just imagine how big the giants were. Now, says, "Everything I created, I created for my honor." And he did not short change this world anything. Everything is here. That doesn't mean that everyone's going to see it every day. That doesn't mean that it's going to roam the streets, but there's no limitations to a kadosh's wonders. Somebody asked me today, "How come Hashem doesn't reveal himself to us anymore like he did at Mount Si because it seems like we would need it more today because people are further from a said no you're misunderstanding. You see at the time of this generation that we're reading about spoke and they heard his voice. They saw the words in the sky and yet despite having absolute knowledge of God that does not stop them from sinning. They sinned in this par and says 10 times they tested me and I nearly destroyed them. In fact, he says, Hashem says to Moshe, chapter 14:1, "How long will this people provoke me? How long will they not have amunai in me? Despite all the signs that I have performed in their midst, the wonders Hashem wants to destroy. I will smite them with the plague and annihilate them. And I shall make you a greater and more powerful nation than they. Meaning he wanted to start a whole new nation with Mushabenu. To whom? To the people that knew that Hashem exists. They heard his voice. They saw his voice. They saw wonders on a daily basis. That's also the reason why they got punished right away because it was a higher revelation. And therefore, the answer is why doesn't he hashem reveal himself? It's exactly because we have less belief in Hashem, less amuna and hem, less knowledge of Torah. And therefore, if they with such high level of knowledge of God still did not have absolute amuna in Hashem and thereby leading Hashem to punish them. If Hashem revealed himself in the same fashion today, we wouldn't survive 24 hours. So it's to our benefit that Hashem does not reveal himself in the same level as he did in the past because a higher revelation is also higher judgment. It's just like if you have a kid and you find out that your kid said some nasty things about you to your other kid and you find out about it. Of course, kid saying bad things about their parents, horrible thing. And you decide whether you're going to punish them or not punish them. How are you going to punish them? What kind of punishment? Maybe just let it go. Maybe not. But if the same kid goes up to your face and starts insulting you the same things, the same horrible things, but he does it in your face. Is there a possibility, a remote possibility that you're not going to punish him? Only if you're an evil parent, you're not going to punish that kid because it's good for him to get punished. Why is why is the latter option for sure you're going to punish him? Whereas the first one, not necessarily. Not always. Because when they do it in your face, it's much higher level of much higher level of disrespect, much higher level of of of uh of uh crime. same concept with the higher level of revelation from Hashem. But just because Hashem does not reveal himself in the same level as he did in the Torah in previous generations does not mean that he does not reveal himself. If you have a problem seeing Hashem everywhere in your life, if you have a problem believing the stories in the Torah about giants or about anything else that is beyond your logical capacity, the only reason why you are having these problems of is because you're not learning enough to is because you're not paying attention to Hashem everywhere. Hashem is everywhere. There are literally miracles happening and wonders happening every single day in every single one of our lives. The more you learn about Hashem and his Torah, the more you're going to see it. If you're not seeing Hashem, that be that's because you're not looking. You are like a blind donkey that only sees what's in front of him. You don't have spiritual eyes because there's no Torah in you. You didn't sanctify yourself. So, how do you expect to see the divine? But the more you sanctify yourself with the holy Torah and mitzvot, the easier it is for you to see Hashem everywhere in everything. Whether it's the extraordinary fortune you had in your business or finding the car that you needed or an appointment or the wife or the husband or having a child that's healthy. People that understand about child birth know that every baby that's born healthy is not one miracle. One expert said that during the nine months that a child is develop develops in the mommy's belly, there are at least 50 stages. 50 stages where there has to be an open miracle for the baby not to get hurt and potentially die or be born with some m some deformity. Meaning 50 miracles have to happen for the baby to be born healthy. But people take birth for No, I'm not ready to have more kids. I already have one. Maybe I'll get a dog instead. You don't realize what kind of miracle you're part of. How many miracles you're part of? You have healthy kids. Oh, I don't know. How come God doesn't I don't see it. You don't see it. The fact that you have two balloons that are able to record everything you see, that's not a miracle. Oh, come on. Everybody has that. No, not necessarily. Not everybody has that, first of all. And second of all, just because Hashem made this miracle so abundant, does that lessen the miracle? The problem is not with the wonders of Hashem lacking shalom. The wonders of Hashem are as abundant as your Torah knowledge and belief. The more you believe in and his Torah, the easier it is to see the wonders in Hashem and the easier it is to believe that there's no limitations, giants, extraordinary things. Yeah. But yeah, sure. Okay. So, there was a uh fish the size of a city. Okay, great. Yeah. What's What's the big deal? That's Hashem. Hashem created that. Is there a limitation for Hashem? I'm going to limit Hashem and how much he could create with my little tiny mind. Why? Just because your little mind cannot get your head around it to understand that there could be such a big fish or such a big animal or such a big person or all types of things that happen just because of that, Hashem can't do because you can't believe it. The audacity of people to limit the creator is not only a problem with their amuna, it's also a partial disease of atheism. It's like the virus. What do atheists do? They choose not to believe. They choose not to believe because even if you provide them proofs, they'll deny them without even looking at them. Why? Because they don't want to believe that anything else is superior to them. This is also one of the things that our editor of Jacob who wrote in the introduction, he writes, "What is the common camp that all heretics have throughout history? all heretics, atheists and the likes are in the same camp that they are not willing to accept that they are smaller than God. They're not willing to comprehend that there's something in the world that is beyond their understanding. But that's why wrote, "If I could understand God, I would be God." But the heretics are not willing to do that. That's why on a regular basis, Manis and the rest of his followers continue to minimize God further and further. He started with God needs you. Then he says he has a body, he has an arm. Then he even says and we quote it here that on Yum Kipur on Yum Kipur the Jewish people are not asking for forgiveness from God. What do we have to ask for forgiveness? Says Manis Freedman. He says no on yum kipur god asks us for an apology for creating this world and putting all the and creating all the difficulties. Can you imagine this this of this whole concept of God needing you is not is not a uh uh the end all. No, the whole mission of Manis is to create a new religion where there's no sins. Meaning the rapist, the pedophile, the murderer, the thief, all of them according to Manis's religion and all of his followers, all of them do not have to apologize for their murder and their rape and and and all the horrible things they did. No, they're saying it's God's fault. Hashem's fault. So, Hashem will ask them for an apology on Yum Kipur. And you're telling me that this is Judaism? What he says? No Jew in their right mind would ever believe that what he's saying is Judaism. They keep harping on this whole statement of Hashem need. They don't realize that it's not the end all. He says there's no reward and punishment. Everyone is going to heaven. And we quote time and time again. He even says in the introduction to his book that when God came down at Mount Si, he didn't come to give us the laws. No, he came there with a mission to tell us that he needs us. that he needs something from us. He needs us to do the mitzvot and he says a apologies and all types of other things. Don't think Don't think for a moment that just because you keep Shabbat and you do a few good deeds, you're exactly where you need to be. Now, sure, if you're watching this, most likely you're not a Manis Freedman supporter, but having limited beliefs in the wonders of Hashem is not just a small problem. It's a big problem. Because when you limit God to what he can do, you're following in the footsteps of manness where he could not understand that God could be bigger than him. So he said, "No, then God needs me." And before you know it, God has a body like me. It's not the same, but he has a body even though he says he doesn't. And then he further he says, "God is going to ask me for an apology." And he also says famously that it's not good to be religious. If everyone becomes religious then that's a problem and all types of other things. We quote so many things in here. I'm honestly you read this book you're surprised the sun rises every day after these statements that he made were made. How much kindness and mercy Hashem has on us to literally allow the sun to rise every day after this and people like him exist in the world and publicize their everywhere limitations in Hashem and his wonders of hem and amun is the same path. You may not be where the aikosim are. But if you continue to ignoring the limitations and your belief in hem, you could end up shalom in a place where God could only do what you decide. And before you know it, you'll even expect God to say I'm sorry to you. So this Abu Thai is not just to tell you some stories for entertainment purposes. This is to test the amuna limitations that each and every person has. You know what you believe instinctively and what you don't. You know what you have a problem with and what you don't. And now you have to ask yourself the question why. Why do you have a problem believing in the wonders of Hashem? Once you answer that, you at least diagnose the problem and be already on the way to a cure. And you succeed. You know, it took a lot of time and effort to study for this lecture and I really hope that you're enjoying it and really growing with every word because I did. If you liked it, if you're enjoying the constant challenge from the Torah, then please like, subscribe, and make sure to share with the people that you care about because you could end up changing their eternity. Thanks again for learning with me. And now back to the lecture. With that being said, you could start asking some questions and will give me the answers. A rabbi was telling me there's no such thing as a Ben. I must be a Jew. Is that true? No, it's not true. There's Jews and there's Gentiles. The all the Gentiles are considered Ben, descendants of No. We're all descendants of Noah. The whole world is descendants of No, but the Jewish people accepted the Torah, Mount Sai, and we became separate from everyone else. But the rest of the world stayed the same. The rest of them are the descendants of Noah. And there's laws that are applicable to non-Jews in the Torah. If you want to convert, become a Jew, you can. But you don't have to. You can still go to heaven without being a Jew. What happens if the job as a fireman wants me to clean to be clean shaven? I feel like I cannot compromise my Jewish look and look like a Roman. I know it's permitted by law in certain cases, but Hashem provides. So, you answered your own question. Thank you guys for all the compliments and the uh everything. But now's the time for questions. Please uh send questions. I appreciate all the compliments and all the uh gratitude. But uh let's learn you could send me the uh likes and all that good stuff. Uh after where could I find a discussion regarding Kiru that says if I bring someone back to Hashem it will I will obtain 310 worlds and if I try they refuse they don't obtain. You just go to my uh lectures. You type in on my YouTube channel Kiru and you have at least a half a dozen lectures uh about it. There's one particular lecture that I spoke about the 310 worlds that I did in Los Angeles maybe some eight nine years ago. Uh it's a short lecture. I told him part of my life story and then I told him the reason why I do Kiru now. It's probably maybe an hour lecture and uh that one I spoke specifically that's the first time I mentioned the 310 worlds uh comes from Schlomik and I bring some sources but uh there is other lectures that I mention it too but that's one also one uh um bit of uh advice for you guys that haven't subscribed to the AI rabbi anytime you have any question about something that I've said in lectures um or a question in general, you can go to the AI rabbi, assuming you've subscribed to it and you're smart enough to realize this is the best Jewish app that exists on planet Earth today. Uh regardless of what language do you you speak because it speaks all, you know, I don't know, 30 languages or so. I even have a few students in China now that are uh you know that that are using AI Rabbi and um you ask it questions say when did you talk about this 310 worlds? So not only is it going to give you the answer but it'll even give you the lectures the links of the lectures timestamped to exactly when I said what I said. So the more particular you are, you know what you're looking for, you'll benefit even more from that. But uh the point is is that AI Rabbi is a uh it's not just a uh chat GPT. People tell me, "Oh yeah, I use I ask Jewish questions with chat GPT." I said, "Yeah, you're probably making mistakes 90% of the time, whether it's Chad GPT or Claude or all these other famous uh um LLMs. They're not based on Jewish literature. They're based on what's on the internet, which is comprised of reform, heresy, some orthodox, some not." So many times you find them making outright mistakes that are against the Torah. Whereas what you get from the uh uh RAI Rabbi is something unique. You not only have a database of uh of of Torah uh uh that's that's behind it answering the questions, but it also provide you sources where you could actually see that that answer written or spoken or both. So highly recommended to use the AI rabbi for your questions on a regular basis. Seriously, there's some people that are using it as a study assistant. Some people are using it as a uh uh helper for for their kids. A few parents have already told me that their kids have pretty much taken over their phones and uh because they're asking AI rabbi questions all day. Kids love kids are very good at questions. They're usually better than even uh adults with questions. And kids love this stuff. They use it for their homework. They use it just to learn. They want to learn Torah. I have one parent tells me that the kids learning Torah all day now because of a Rabbi. This kid used to spend all day playing video games. Now he's learning Torah all day because of a Rabbi. He has also all these questions. He's getting the uh answers. He's watching the lectures. He goes ask more questions and he's all day on it. He loves it. So, highly recommended to have at least one subscription per household. Since Moshe knew that sending the spies was not necessary, why still ask them to inform him if Yov was alive? Well, just because Moshe had prophecy which is above doesn't mean that it's always active. Same thing with uh that have it doesn't mean that they always know everything. No, there are sometimes that Hashem does not show us uh doesn't show that the people that have and needless to say the the prophets uh the things there are certain things that are hidden only only Hashem knows and he does it to still leave freedom of choice. The only time that Hashem showed Moshe Rabenu uh the future of everything is after was already the end of his days before he died. He showed him all the generations and everything that's going to happen. But before that, Moshe did not know everything that's going to happen in the future. He didn't know what's going to happen with the uh spice. What if we need to leave the house but can't say before 72 minutes? I don't understand. You have you have a uh to you eat. You have certain time to eat. Say the blessing. How long does it take to say the baton? Two, three, four minutes, five minutes. Now, if there's some type of an emergency, life's at risk or something like that, then of course the life risk is even uh puts the entire Tawra on hold. But if it's just to go make it to an appointment, no, you have to say, but if you're in a process of uh conversion, you're not Jewish yet, it's a different story. You don't even have to say, but if you're Jewish, if you're going to eat bread, then uh say after you finish, if you know that you're not going to have time to eat uh and say, then don't eat bread. Eat something else. Eat just a uh what's inside the bread. Don't eat the bread. Okay. See, can a non-Jew pray Amida? Uh, no. The the the uh the prayer from the sidu is specifically for the Jewish people as every single part of Amida shows that Hashem commanded us commanded us to do these mit. So if a non-Jew would say the amid they're lying because each time it says you know that blessed you hem that you commanded us to do this and so on and so forth. He didn't command the non-Jew. So the prayer from the sidu is not for the non-Jews. Non-Jew should pray from their own words from their heart. Uh which sometimes can be very deep and very emotional and uh very very good even better than sometimes the way the Jew will pray from the sidul. What's the difference between Zionism and Jewish? Uh, very very simple. Although the founders of Zionist Zionism were Jews, they were not religious Jews. In fact, they hated Judaism. And in fact, the primary purpose of Zionism is to remove the Jewish people from the Torah, from belief in God, from belief in the Torah, and to make the Jewish people like the nations. Uh that's uh why Hel the founder of Zionism converted to Christianity. He used to his son writes that uh he he did not get a bilah because his father did not believe in Judaism and he used to celebrate bring a Christmas tree to his house every year. Uh and he has a letters between him and uh the pope that he is his solution to anti-semitism is by removing Judaism from the Jewish people. So the founders of Zionism and many of them to this day uh are antithetical to the Jewish people. I have several lectures where I speak about Zionism. You just go to my YouTube channel. You'd be surprised what you're going to hear. In fact, the Zionist were no less of an enemy of the Jewish people than the Nazis were an enemy of the Jewish people. That's how bad. So when people say that all Jews are Zionists, uh not only does that show uh ignorance, it shows complete disregard for the truth. Abby, thank you very much. I'm Muslim and I respect you because you're a real Jew. You're my cousin. Okay. Thank you. Arab Arab from Albania. Respect. Salam alalaykum. You say the truth. Shalom, Rabbi. Respect. Okay. Thank you. All right. Are no hides allowed to say amen to like for example when you say a blessing at the beginning at the end of the shure. Yes, you could say amen. How come Exodus names Joshua by this new name but presents the full story in numbers? Because the Torah is not written in uh chronological order. Not everything is in order. There are certain parts of the Torah that are you'll find in Exodus that really happened after. Uh the Torah is not a history book. It's a book of laws that has stories in it. When do you think the Mashiach is going to come? When I'm up there soon, I know that the righteous will resurrect. If you are already in Gan Eden, do you still leave to resurrect? uh if you have the merit to be part of the resurrection then you will resurrect but there are going to be some people that are in heaven but will do not have the merit to resurrect. Uh but yes, the resurrection is a uh is one of the extra rewards for for for righteous people. Why are the religious Jewish people still only two million people if we were 3 million in the desert? Mathematically, it doesn't make sense. Even if 90% get eliminated into into marriage, uh you should do your calculations actually uh because your math is wrong. Uh number one, we were a lot more than that in the desert. But also if you look at all of the pilgrims, inquisitions and and holocausts that happened to the Jewish people uh throughout history, especially when you read the midashim and the different details of how many Jews were massacred uh in the past years, if you just look at what happened during the destruction of the first beta mikdash or the second beta mikdash, they make the holocaust look like child's play. the destruction of how many Jews died and and and massacred during the destruction of the betas was much worse than the holocaust. Much worse. Uh you know, so the point is is that the fact that we're still exist in itself is a miracle. Why are the majority of Jews not following the Torah today? It's due to ignorance. The less people know about the beauty of the Torah and the obligation of the Torah, the more they're inclined to follow the ways of the they're following. Why? Because the people like the Zionists and the reformers convinced many Jews to not send their kids to religious school, to not be religious. And unfortunately, we are living in a uh you know, several generations after that. is the outcome. This whole started a couple hundred years ago. Even though there's always been Jews that made sins throughout all of history, that's the reason why the beta was destroyed the first time, the second time, and all the other horrible things that happened to Jewish people throughout history. It's not because uh you know a uh there's Hashem is bored and just wants to put some action in the world. It's because we made sins and he uh and he punished us. Uh and in fact, the says that there are seven things that come to the world uh as a result of uh of our sins. So the point is is that when you uh when you look at what happened over the last couple of hundred years and you see that uh the Zionist, heretics, atheist, communists literally exerted every effort they possibly can to uh destroy the Torah world, destroy the Jewish world, and they're still doing it to this day. I mean, just think about this. Right now, the government of Israel is considering any Torah scholar that does not go to the army as a criminal. They put some of them in jail. They take away financials assistance that they even give to the Arab terrorists. When an Arab terrorist kills Jews, his family gets money from the Israeli government. But a Jew, a Jew that follows the Torah like we did at Mount Si is considered a criminal. The Mishna says in chapter 5, seven types of punishment come to the world for seven kinds of transgressions. One, if some people give ma and others do not, a famine caused by a lack of rain ensues. Some go hungry and some are satisfied. So if you have money and you don't give ma just so you know it's not just you lose your blessing blessing you bring punishment to the world just so you know this is Mishna this comes even before the two if all decided not to give mas then a general famine is caused by armed bands and drought ensues. Three, if they also decided not to separate the kala, then a famine is caused by fatal drought and a fatal drought ensues. Four, pestilence comes to the world for the death penalties prescribed in a Torah that were not carried out by the court. Meaning, somebody drives on Shabbat, they think that nothing happened. They don't realize they were the reason why Hashem brought corona to the world. Corona virus because you drove on Shabbat you're supposed to get death penalty but we don't have a son so Hashem still punishes how he brings corona virus he brings all types of diseases and also the illegal use of fruits of the uh of the five the sword of war why do we have war right now in the world why is everybody trying to destroy Israel why everybody's anti-Semitic now you're going to know The sword of war comes to the world for the delay of justice, for the perversion of justice and for rendering decisions contrary to Allah. In so many words, the Israeli court system, Supreme Court system is the largest enemy of the Torah. They do everything possible to go against the Torah. Every judgment that they rule brings war to the world. wicked people that pretend to be rabbis and are in a bedin and they only convert certain people just because they pay them or just because it's a relationship issue or all types of manipulations or they rule against when it comes to other cases like money because they have some type of uh vested interest. They give the money to their friend instead of to the person that really deserves it. This perversion of justice brings Iran, brings war. That's how Hashem runs the world. This is what Mishna is telling you. How Hashem runs the world. Wild beasts come upon the world for vain oaths and desecration of God's name. You see people dying from snake bites, car crashes, plane crashes, India plane crash, uh all these different things that are happening. Why? What's telling people in public that God needs you? That's and people support this. That's this brings death to the world. Next, exile comes to the world for idol worship, for immorality, for bloodshed, and for working the earth during a sabbatical year. People are idol worshippers. They abandon Judaism to join Christianity or other forms of idolatry or people waste seed. People are go and watch pornography. People are murderers. All of that brings disaster. What disaster? Exile. Exile. What's exile? Holocaust. And the Mishna continues in other places. The point I'm trying to tell you is that the fact that the Jewish people still exist is only because of the kindness of Hashem and the mercy of Hashem. And because we still have an opportunity to help more and more people do chuva, more and more people to understand the truth of the Torah and the obligation of the Torah and the beauty of the Torah. And more people are signing up every day. more people are learning more. More people are doing chuv. We continue to get amazing stories from people that have watched our lectures or read our books and uh have transformed their lives as a result. Whether it's pe Jews that grew up completely secular or Jews that used to be religious left and now became religious again or it's even goim that uh grew up anti-semitic and now are converted to Judaism and you know righteous people and dedicated to Torah and study Torah non-stop and do and give taka and do all the good things. These amazing stories Abutai are all kindness of Hashem. We choose to be the messenger that says all the truth of the Torah and Hashem makes the results happen for what they are. Has nothing to do with skills or it's just simply I choose to dedicate everything that I have, all my effort, all my time, all my money, everything that I have to try to help is get back to Hashem to do cha and decides to make this uh extraordinary success happen. So the fact that we have an opportunity, another day, another opportunity to help more Jews do cha is more kindness of Hashem and Hashem gives us time and success to help all of dova Who gives a title of rabbitson or raan to a woman and who are they responding to accountable to? Is it through marriage to a rabbi? Yes, it's marriage to a rabbi. What's the correctafa to balance that it's horrible that missiles hit Tel Aviv, but at the same time it caused the gay pride parade to be cancelled. You should have listened to the whole lecture. We've been talking about the wonders of Hashem. The fact that over a thousand missiles have shot into Israel and AmI is alive and well and we have uh nowhere near the amount of damage that could have happened. This is clear wonders, open miracles of Hashem. Rabbi, should one go to yeshiva just for the purpose of getting a shid? No, they should go to yeshiva to go learn Torah. Go learn Torah and do the will of Hashem. Rabbi, is there any old completed series that you did that you recommend to new person of your channel? Uh yes. if uh this person just just started watching now uh so he hasn't really been or she hasn't been really accustomed to watching uh two-hour lectures on a regular basis uh then I would say start with theem series uh it's only about I think 16 or 19 lectures it's very relevant to everyday life regardless of what life you've lived D uh and it's very impactful. Even people that have been watching me for years continue to watch that uh series. If the person has loves the lectures already and just wants to study a body of of of uh uh of of transformal information, then I would say take on the vote series. It's the uh biggest series we've done. 179 lectures aside from this series of the stump the rabbi. The uh pavat series is the biggest body of lectures and it's 179 lectures. Every one of them is completely different from the next and it's one of the foundational teachings of the entire Torah. There's other serieses that are also very good but based on your question those are the answers. Who is the Messiah? And is he already here? Uh we will find out when Shem decides who is the Messiah. In every generation there is someone that has the uh the spark within them. But they don't know until Hashem decides for them to know because it's time to bring the Mashiach. So until now, no one uh was the Messiah. And uh there were people that were potential mashiach, but no one was the Msiah because there are certain conditions to be Mashiach. And we haven't met those conditions in the last 2,000 years or ever. Why can't people live in peace like in the Ottoman era? Uh you should read a little bit more about that history because you'll see that in the Ottoman area it uh wasn't exactly peaceful. Wasn't exactly peaceful. So not really sure where you're getting this whole notion that it was peaceful. Perhaps your definition of peace is different from you know the norm. But there was nothing peaceful about it. More peaceful than now. Um, again, it's a very different world. I don't, again, it's a uh, I don't necessarily disagree with you that it was more peaceful than now, but I don't necessarily agree with you. It all depends uh, which part of the world a person lives in. Um because uh some of the things that are going on in Israel don't really affect all of the people in Israel, all of the people that live in America. All of the people, some things do. So it depends depends on a person's uh life, depends depends on the person's belief itself. Some people like war, they like fight. So it doesn't matter even if there is world peace, they still hate because they like to hate. Why can't the Jewish world elect the Messiah to build a temple? Because that's not what the condition is. The condition is the Messiah has to be chosen by God. And the Rambam writes in uh all of the different details of what the Messiah has to do. He has to be a Torah scholar is dedicated to learning Torah and to help is do Chuva and to spread the name of God and fight the wars of God. Um it's uh it has to be a very unique person that uh meets all of the conditions that are there. It can't just be uh it's not a politician. It's not uh subject to elections. It's uh in line with the kings. The kings like King David for example was not chosen by the people. King Shaul was not chosen by the people. They were chosen by God. The same thing with the prophets. The prophets were not chosen by people. The prophets were chosen by God. So the same thing with Messiah. Messiah is going to be is going to be chosen by God. What about building a temple? Wasn't that uh no to build it the third temple, the final temple is one of the conditions of the Msiah. How many righteous people does the world need to exist? 36. Is it beneficial to to one's prayers to have a gadola door as part of your minan? Of course, Rabba, will you go back to Israel later this year if the situation improves? If there's a purpose and a reason and an ability to do it, I will. If not, no. I don't just take uh sightseeing vacations. I don't have that kind of time. Okay. All right. Brother, is a woman allowed to bike according to Allah? Also, let's say a woman is sick and in bed and because she's not able to do everything as normal, how does she use her time wisely? Okay, so those are two last questions I'm going to take. Uh, okay. I'll take the last one also that uh the lost tribes that somebody else asked. As far as a woman on a bike is not allowed because for her to be on a bicycle is not considered modest. Um, so she can go in a car uh she can walk uh but she cannot go on a bicycle. Uh it's not modest uh for something to be in that area for a woman. Uh secondly, uh as far as a woman that's sick and in bed, not able to do everything as normal, how could she use her time wisely, uh she could do the best of her abilities. Whatever she can do to help the house, to fix the house, to take care of the kids, she has to do to push herself. And whatever she can, at the very least, she uh could watch, she could uh um pray, read. As far as are the 10 tribes lost forever, no. One of the things that the one of the conditions of the Mashiach is to unveil the 10 tribes. And in fact, some say that part of the war of Gum Magog when Mashiach comes is that the 10 tribes will come uh from where they've been hidden for the last uh couple thousand years and they're going to help uh defeat the enemy. So the 10 tribes will come from the mountains where they're hiding over there. Uh and uh they're going to defeat the uh the enemy. So no 10 tribes are still here and will get to see them very soon.
