Shiur #116 Dear Jews, It's Time To Make Our Jewish Children & Christian Friends SEE The Truth!

[Music] Heat. [Music] Hey, Heat. [Music] Thank you for coming. Lot of good news happening. Uh we um also thank you to uh Torah anytime for continuing to publicize the shashem. Last week they um put our uh main shor our personal story on the uh on the main website on the um homepage. There's been a sea of people watching item sending emails, sending uh text messages and uh everybody's connecting to it in a different way. You know, some people because they have health issues. So when you go to uh a doctor sometimes you're going to um get a doctor that has good side good bedside manner where he's can relate to you he could understand you has patience with you but in today's world it's a very very rare commodity to find a doctor with a good bedside matter where he has patience and he actually cares about the patient and he could understand that the patient is going through serious pain even you know, you can't really see pain. Um, it's tough. It's tough to find. I can tell you from over 50 doctors that I went to, uh, to try to diagnose the problem that I had, but um, maybe two had good bedside manner. Two. Yeah. One, two. Balty and, uh, uh, Freedellander. Yeah. Two. Two. That's the two I can remember. One guy I remember from Cornell uh University, Cornell Hospital, the Rashad didn't even want to he gave up on my case and when I came up to his office one of the days that I had pain uh he was right in front of me like I was here and he's right there where where Sunny is and uh he wouldn't talk to me. He would talk to his secretary and tell tell him I'm busy. He refused to talk to me. like screaming in pain, like suffering, like miserable. And the guy refused to talk to me, refused to talk to me. Tell him, "No, no, tell him I'm not available." I I told him, "I can hear you. I'm right here." He refused to talk to me. So, unfortunately, bedside manner has become very very rare. And one of the reasons for it is because number one, pain is not something you can see. It's not something you can see, you know, you can see if someone's bleeding, you assume that he has some type of pain, but most pain, most serious pain doesn't have blood, at least not out, not not one that's coming out of the body. Um, so doctors have a hard time relating to it unless they went through it themselves. The second thing is is that part of the uh unfortunate part of uh you know getting older into a career and in essence even becoming a doctor is to become immune to pain because if you felt every single doctor uh if you felt every single patient you your career would be much more difficult because it's it's trauma every time you see a patient suffering screaming yelling you uh all of these things it's very very difficult but there's actually a story I read a few months ago in the Zman magazine that there's actually a doctor uh somewhere in the US I think I'm not really sure where but I I forget there's a doctor I think this is maybe like 4 months ago I read the story that has a very unusual disease the doctor has an unusual disease where he feels every like the pain of anyone that he touches is like if he touches you, he feels your pain. So, uh but which makes him a uh remarkably good doctor because sometimes you try to explain to the doctor where it hurts and you know they can't see it. But now if he touches you, it's like a it's like one of these movies, science fiction movies. It's very tough career when you feel the pain. But nonetheless, one of the things that uh people relate to is the fact, you know, you go through suffering as uh Jeremiah says in the uh third chapter in the beginning of the third chapter of uh the book of that we read for that uh I have seen pain and suffering. I'm the man that have seen pain and suffering. Meaning that why why is he starting the book like this? If I was a guy that's just coming here to tell you stories of what I heard and what someone else heard that I heard from him, then it's a story. But if I'm telling you what I actually saw, then it's an experience. Then it's something different. Then you're going to listen to me with a little bit more attention, a different ear. So, a lot of people are connecting to the uh the part that we went through the pain and also obviously the healing which we talked about a couple of weeks ago how hem miraculously has healed us without any doctors. Uh in fact uh it got to a point where the doctors were making the situation worse. [Music] So when Hashem wants to heal you, he says it every day. You read it. It's actually a portion to book of Exodus. But uh I like to use the sidur as a source because more people know the sidur than they know the Torah itself. after after someone that wants not only should do obviously all the prayers that they possibly can, but at the end of um uh at the end of after it says a verse, a few verses from the Torah, something of says, "If as Hashem said with his uh his powerful voice, if you do what is right in the eyes of Hashem, not in our eyes, not in this lowly generation's eyes, but in in the eyes of Hashem, whatever Hashem's opinion is, and you actually comply with his commandments, not only hear it, but actually do it, implement it in your and observe all of his laws, the ones you understand, the ones you don't understand, it doesn't make a difference. Why do we do all of the mitzvot? What's the one reason that all mitzvah have in common? Every sing. Why do we do it? Hashem said so. That's the real reason. That's the actual real reason of why we do every single mitzvah. Whether it's that no one understands even the wisest man of all time or or eating kosher or any mitzvah 613 mitzvot thousands or hundreds of of alot every single one of them has one reason Hashem said so that's the real reason but Hashem is merciful and he knows that he created an a very stubborn nation that gets more and more stubborn with the generations that needs a little bit more time, a little bit more taste, a little bit more flavor, a little more reasoning of why we do everything. So, he gave us many, many benefits uh for doing all of the mitzvot. And uh in general, the more you learn about a mitzvah, the more you start doing it, the more you see the benefit. But without doing the the mitzvah, you're never going to see the benefit. I could tell you that kosher food is healthier, but unless you start eating kosher food on a regular basis, you're not going to feel it. I could tell you that length feeling every single day can change your life, can connect you to Hashem in an amazing way, right? First thing in the morning, you won't understand it or even know what I'm talking about until you actually start doing it for a while. So the just like anything else in life, you're only really going to see the full impact once you actually implement them into your life. Now, for those of us that are still waiting to understand the entire Torah before we do it, it's never going to happen. It's never going to happen. Why? Because first of all, there's no way to understand the entire Torah. And second of all, the overwhelming majority of the Torah, you could only understand once you start implementing it. Because I can tell you feelings that I have for doing whatever I do, but to you means nothing if you don't do it. I could tell you uh about how Hashem makes miracles for people that do kiru and to you may sound like a nice story but what's the proof so if you remind me I'd tell you a few current miracles that are happening to some people because we made a clip of one of the shul we talked about how if anyone wants miracles they should do kiru and people asking me really is it serious really really happens. So I'll give you guys some serious miracles that have been happening just in the last few days. Um so anyway to finish this point, Hashem says once you listen to my mitzvot, you learn them, you implement them, you follow my laws, then all of the sicknesses, all of the disease, every disease, 83 diseases he put on. How do we know? How do we know it's 83? Why not 84 or 82 or 16 or 17? Mahal the numerical value of the gimatria of mahala is 83. It says that's how many diseases and that's the source. That's how we know the numbers. So he put 83 different types of diseases on the Egyptians and those disease I'm not going to put on you. So all those 83 I'm not going to put on you. Why? He says it. I am God your healer. Which means if we want to plead with Hashem before it's too late, we want him to heal us. We want him to take away the cancer. We want him to take away the pain. want to take away anything. All we have to do is plead with him and give him a reason. Just praying by itself is not enough. We have to do more than that as the as the uh prayer says and as the Torah says. And the more you believe in what Hashem said as far as actually knowing for sure Hashem really is your healer, the less doctors you're going to see in your life. Uh and that's why you see like for example like some of the even though you're allowed to go to a doctor uh there's no problem with going to a doctor you see some of the really big in general don't go to doctors unless it's 100% emergency like unless there's pretty much you have to do like it's a heart attack or uh something major where pretty much you know that Hashem put you in a situation where you have to go to a doctor in general for colds and uh even even things that are even more severe than codes. Some of the sadikim do not go to doctors at all. Um so and it's not necessarily because they don't like doctors or because the g says that the best of the doctors is going to go to gum. The best of the doctors are going to go to gum. Why? Why? He's a good doctor. He's helping people. Why? Why is he going to go to gum? He's skin. It's good. No, cuz he thinks he's going to heal them. No, because he think he's he's just as powerful as God. He think he's No, no. Sadik, the guy in Sadik, the guy goes and uh he, you know, he has good bedside manner. He thinks he's No, he doesn't think he's healing them. He's praying for a lot of patients. Ah, every here we go. Oh, we're going to have this. We're going to have Osh judgment day. On Shah on Oshah, we're going to plead with Hashem to first of all to keep us in this world so we can do more so we could complete our chuva, keep us alive. But obviously most people are not really worried about their life part unless they have a lot of money. So first we pray for money, then we pray for being alive. That's what you know. You hear people saying, "Listen, somebody loses money, I want to die. like meaning that if they don't have money, they don't want to live. It's a very very miserable life. If your whole life is just for money, it's very sad. But nonetheless, a uh now we pray for money. So the guy that uh you know fixes cars is praying for more people to need cars. The guy that uh or to break their cars. Uh the guy that's a lawyer is looking for more people to uh get in trouble or need more businesses starting or disputes or anything like that. The doctor on the other hand, he's looking for more patients. What does that mean? He's praying for more people to be sick. It's not intentional, but in essence, that's really what it is. So the is not literal meaning that if he's the best doctor he's automatically going to go to gay but uh it's it means that someone obviously has to has to really think about what they're praying for and how are they going to get the pan and so on. Go ahead. It says afterwards in that the doctor goes to hell but the chef shoot the I never understood that the I mean listen I think I think uh if I don't I don't remember the uh that part but I think may have to do something with non-coosher food maybe yeah I'm saying may maybe has to do something with non- kosher food which we talk about in this para I don't remember the rest of the but anyway So to finalize that point, we have a uh the sickness. The older you get, the more you see in life, you meet people, you see people, you see that uh sickness is unfortunately higher than it's ever been. The cancer rates in our generation are the highest it's ever been. Nothing is coincidence. But if you look at the uh actual rates, the number one cancers in the bodies of men and women are the sex organs. Number one cancers. Out of all the cancer you could possibly get shalom in your body, the number one cancers are in the sex organs of both males and females. Number one crimes we have against Hashem that all of us during Yumipu are going to repent for. There's a whole prayer. There's a whole prayer right before the end of Yonipool. You do a whole prayer asking for Hashem for forgiveness. The entire prayer is is asking for forgiveness for sex crimes. The entire prayer. So obviously this is not a new problem, but nonetheless, we're making matters worse when we're going walking around the streets not modest. People go to places that are not modest, acting not modest. Things get worse and worse. And unless we start educating the public about what's the real truth about sex in Judaism, wasting seed, modesty, behavior in general, intimacy in marriage, intimacy outside of marriage, all of these things, unless we tell people the tlas, the actual real truth, people will continuously get worse and the diseases will continue increasing. So it's not fair not to tell people but at the same token people also want to learn. If you tell people something I say something sometimes I say something in a lecture and people attack you attack you right away. One time I mentioned something about wigs and one of the lectures this lady wrote me like maybe 25 different comments on how much of an idiot she thinks I am. Okay, I'm an idiot. Thank you. But it's still what I said is still not it's still true. It's not like I made it up and you know, so people attack you. They don't like what they hear. They attack you, especially with issues when it comes to sex, when it comes to modesty, things of that nature. Um, but nonetheless, the uh experience gives a lot of people hope that just because you're sick and you feel hopeless, it doesn't actually mean that you're hopeless. Because Hashem says, "I am your healer." He really meant it. Meaning if you give him a reason to heal you, he'll heal you. It doesn't matter if it's natural or not natural to you. It may not be natural to this lowly world, to humankind. It may not be natural for cancer to heal, for pain to heal, for all these different types things to to heal. But to Hashem, it's everyday business. But it's good to clean the sense the these sicknesses. only way only way to give Hashem a reason is by obviously repenting by obviously doing cha gave you that sickness for a reason. Not all sicknesses are for the same reason. Obviously there's no oneizefits-all. Some people get it because of sins. Some people be get it because of previous life. I'm not I don't pretend to be an angel or God or anything remotely close to anything. All I know is what I read and uh based on Torah, everything has a reason. There's no such thing as suffering without sin. No such thing. So somebody would ask, wait, so some big sadik that's, let's say, suffering in pain. Does he mean does that mean that he sinned? It may possibly mean that he sinned in a previous life. It may possibly mean that he actually sinned in this life, but Hashem is judging him to the uh with with with minuscule things that for the rest of us it's not really a sin or it may be that he's actually bringing on himself intentionally which a lot of do in order to take of the generation. Uh so for example there's a about uh benishim the son ofishimai where uh every night he would uh go home and he would uh pray for his his friends to come. Who is his friends? Sickness and infections all over his body. He would pray for the sickness to come to all over his body and means the entire night. He would suffer from horrendous pain. Horrendous. Horrendous pain. They would have to change the sheets to his bed 60 times a night. That's how much blood would be on the bed until one day his wife sees him and uh she sees that he's actually you know and in the morning he says okay my friends let you know go to where you came from I have to go learn Torah he goes and he learns Torah the whole day no pain everything is fine then he comes home and he calls his friends he calls them his friends the pain he calls friends uh my dear friends, not just by friends. So, one day his wife sees that he's bringing the pain to himself. She hears him bring the pain to himself and she says to him, "I lost all of my inheritance for my father replacing the sheets for you, and you're bringing this to yourself. If you don't stop, I'm going to leave you. He says you can leave. You can leave. So she leaves. She takes her son. She leaves their son. She leaves. And then there was a uh he continued. And as the Gar says that they uh there was actually a uh ship full of merchants that uh landed in the area that uh came into the air came into the shore of where uh Alza was, Abil Lazar, Abazar was uh and uh they wanted they heard about the Sadik and they they wanted to go visit him and they see this they see him the whole house is a mess. There's blood everywhere. Said, "Listen, we're parking over here, bringing all of our money. Get servants. Get this, get that, get everything. Make sure we take care of this sadik." And that's what they did. Start taking care of him. He had servants. He had this. Everything was taken care of. A few months later passed. The wife, you know, she misses her husband. Says she sends a son. Tell him, "Listen, if he's willing to uh stop, I I'm willing to come back." So, she sends the son and the son comes to the house. He sees the house is full of servants. Everything is clean, beautiful. And he sees his father and his father says, "Yeah, tell tell your mom that tell tell the creator, the one that heals all wounds, the uh you know, the miracle worker, he's taking care of me now. But if she wants, she's more I'm more than happy to have a comeback." And she came back. Why? Why does he do this? Why does he do this? Kazal says there's two types of learning. There's Torah and there's this Torah. There's only one Torah. So how could it be to say this Torah and this Torah says to you want to learn to you want to you know fulfill the mitzvah of uh learning to no problem. Open, open, open, whatever you want to learn, go enjoy, go in Torah. But you want to learn real Torah, you want to become a like something special only with only with suffering. Not possible to be a without suffering. If you want to do it, you don't want to suffer. Okay? So you'll not have to do it, but it depends how much you want it. Same thing. Okay, give me an example. What is it like? There's two different types of people. There's someone that's successful and there's someone that's different world. And I'm not just talking about the amount of money that they have, but I'm talking about someone that is a game changer. Game changer. You have some people that, you know, may make their money. They make their million dollars a year. They make whatever they make. It's successful. The guy has a nice house. He has a nice car. His kids go to uh special private schools, right? Not uh not a bad life at all. But then you have a guy that's a game changer. You have a guy that's inventing something no one even thought about. or inventing something that everyone thought would be good, but no one actually had the guts to do it. Doing something that pretty much no one else is willing to do it. And when he succeeds, he creates an industry. You can call anyone. You could say it's uh uh Steve Jobs did it even though he was a atheist most of his life and before he died, he actually wrote a letter that he realized that he was wrong. Or you could uh say it's a uh the uh Zuckerberg that uh you know built uh uh Facebook even though some people say he stole the idea and he's actually a uh anti-Israel uh person. Now still doesn't it doesn't exclude it doesn't discount his genius secular genius of being an innovator. You could say it's a uh the guy from Tesla. What's his name? Elon Musk. Elon Musk, uh, they say it's Warren Buffett, all of these business people, they were game changers. Walt Disney, all of these people, they were willing to do something no one else was willing to do. So, the success and the success. So, now you could either be basic, average guy, you make your money, you do what you got to do. Fine. But if somebody told you, listen, you have an opportunity to be bigger than the Rothschild lineage. You know, if Rothschild was still alive today, he'd have more money than all the Forbes 500 combined. All of them combined, he would have it. Bill Gates would be one of his employees. That's how much bet I'm serious. trillions and trillions of dollars you had in relative to today's money. So someone tells you, listen, you can either be, you know, decent or something that they're going to write about you 500 years later. When it comes to money, nine out of 10 guys, what do they do? They go to work to be the next big guy. No one goes to work say I just want to be average. I want to be an average guy with average living and an average house and an average there's no Most people don't. Even if they say they don't really mean it. Why? Because they still play the lotto. They still play the lotto. Why they play the lot? Cuz they want to be one of these guys that used to have a movie about him. Oh, if I had all this money, I had $500 million, then I would do this and I would do this and I would do this. I would change the world. And everybody thinks they could change the world. In reality, most of them declare bankruptcy within a few years. But the point is that when it comes to money, when it comes to material, everyone wants everything. Says, you give someone 100, he wants 200. You give him 200, he wants 400. You give him 400, he wants 800. Meaning, the more someone has material, the more he feels that he's missing. So, who's poorer? The guy that has $10 or the guy that has a million dollars? based on their feeling. The guy that has $10, he's only missing $10. The guy that has a million dollars, he feels like he's missing a million dollars. So, he feels poorer than the guy that has $10. That's how it is. But when it comes to when it comes to holiness and connection to Hashem, you tell a guy, listen, the only way you're going to become a like a true someone that's special, someone that's a has to be you have to have suffering. Not everyone's willing to sign up. Not everyone's willing to sign up. It's not not it's not it's not for everyone. Everyone can, but not everyone's willing to do it. Just like not everyone's willing to do what uh you know the guy for Elon Musk did or whatever any of these other people did. So as far as the the says there's three things you can get only with self-sacrifice. One is Torah, two is and three is Israel. So we understand why you have to do all these things. You have to fight the horrendous generation we live in full of prostitution, dishonesty, stealing, and everything else that's corrupt. Honestly, I think I say this to my cousin all the time and he never tells me I'm wrong. I honestly think if Moshe came to this generation, he think he's in g. I'm not joking. Like seriously, if you actually start paying attention to the world around us, I try not to, but it's unfortunately part of reality, it's so far from the source. You read the book, you look at the world, it's like doesn't even look alike. This is what we're supposed to be. This is what we are. You see how much mercy Hashem has for actually keeping this world around. But nonetheless, you want to get you have to fight all of it. You have to fight your and it says in a here actually who is a hero who's strong one who subdues his personal evil inclination. So this is chapter 4ishna one. Um, so here we see that in our minds we think someone that's a gibo, someone that's uh strong is maybe someone has muscles, someone that's really really smart, someone that has political connections, you know, one like one of these politicians that uh whoever says anything against them somehow that person dies a week later, you know, things like that. And that's how it happens. That's how the world is run. You guys are not living in a box, are you? See, people are showing up dead left and right. So people think that's a hero. Wow, look, someone says something against this guy or this girl or this one or this one. 6 months later, the guy is dead. No one knows what happened. All of a sudden, he had a mysterious accident unexplained. And no one wants to investigate. They're scared of dying, too. Okay. Upset though. So people think, "Wow, that's powerful. or like this uh Soros recently said, "I am God." Okay. So, he thinks he's powerful. Let's see the next time he's constipated if he still thinks that. I'm serious. I'm not saying let's say he gets cancer or loses money. No, no, no. The simplest simplest problem, the tiniest thing. Let's see what you Who's God? This happened before. Titus, Titus came and ransacked the uh beta mikdash, took his sword, ripped the uh part that separates the kuresh, the kesh kesim. Hashem made a miracle that there was blood that came out of it. So he's like, "Ah, see, I killed their god. And then he took a se of Torah, he put it on the floor and he actually brought a prostitute and he had his relations on her on the clo on the clo inside the kodashim completely like the most evil, horrendous anti- good action you can possibly do. He saw blood. He thinks I beat it. I beat God. asks, "Why does Hashem let people do if he hates it so much, which he talks about in this week's par, which we'll start in the next hour or so, why does Hashem let these idol worshippers live? Kill them. Someone worships an idol, kill them on the spot." says if every single person I do would die there would be no free choice but okay fine don't uh take the free choice but at least destroy the destroy so the responds why is every time someone uses something for stupidity Hashem has to destroy the world for So someone worship a stone. So Hashem has to destroy all the stones. Not going to be any more stones anymore. So then you're going to say someone that uh worships the sun or the moon. So Hashem has to destroy the sun and the moon is two angels. Such good angels. They work so hard. He has to destroy them because some is worshiping them. Or morons, millions of them. So then he's going to have to destroy the world too. M says how why why does he have to destroy the world? Because because people worship people too. So then he has to destroy mankind. Well, he has to destroy it. Every man now. And unfortunately the idol worship is across all religions including our own including our own. In India, we know that they have all forms of idols. They have over 80,000 different cults and idol worships. Whether it's a cow or a tree they worship or different strange animals or motorcycles or rats, there's all types of idol worship. Anyone that wants, I could show you a bunch of pictures that uh Vime sends me of different types of idol worship that they have over there. It's unbelievable how stupid people are. It's very much unbelievable. They have uh some idol worship holiday coming up soon where they worship this idol where it's a half of his body is an elephant and the other half is a human. And they they spend billions of dollars on this thing. Billions of dollars on this stupidity to them. Obviously, it's this is their life. But it's the craziest thing in anyone that's outside of the garbage can see how this is garbage. So over there we know in Christianity we also know which we're also going to talk about. Unfortunately their new testament turned their uh guy JC into an idol either by splitting God into three or by saying that the guy himself is God or the son of God or this God or some version of God. And then obviously after a couple thousand years of stupidity even some of the Christians realized this. Okay, we can't really say he's God. So, what do they do? No, no, no. He's the Mashiach. Where is it written he's Mashiach? Where? It doesn't say that. It says he's God in the book. In the book, it says that he came through uh pretty much Hashem pretty much had relations. They're saying that there God had relations with his mom and that's how he came to the world. And this God is three. It doesn't say he's a Msiah in the book. They made it in in this recent generations they say to Msia. Why? Because they realize that the argument that they have in this stupid book. It's nonsense. No one. Come on. People finally woke up. So they created a new thing cuz they fooled people for 2,000 years. We need another 2,000 years. That's why the church is the most profitable and rich richest entity in the world because they've been fooling people for 2,000 years. Don't want to investigate for themselves. So we have idol worship over there. Then you have, you know, Catholicism, Christianity, it's all the same. Messianic, which call themselves Messianic Judaism, it's another version of Christianity. Has nothing. It has nothing to do with Judaism. Jews for Jesus also. It's 100% Christianity just with a titan. They put a talit on and they worship idols and they call themselves Jews. Jews really stupidity. No, some of them may be Jews as far as by birth, but they're idol worshippping. Then you have a uh people from Islam which we'll also talk about in today's parat this week's para who have turned uh you know who who've made some serious mistakes uh turning their religion into a uh something that's 100% against Hashem saying that they are obligated to kill Jews because Jews have sinned against Hashem. So they have become the new Sanhedrin. They've become the new judges and are taking it into their hands to go kill Jews. That's why in the book of Daniel, prophet Daniel, which they believe in also says that in the end of times when he uh interpreted the dream for the neb was but Hashem gave him prophecy. Hashem gave him a dream to see the end of the world. And he actually also told him that because of the cav that he gave Hashem with the story that I'll tell you in a second, no king will ever be more powerful than Abu Khan until the Mashiach comes. Is he the one who destroyed the bed? Yes. So what's the story? It's a good story, right? It has to be a good story. Why this guy gets it, right? Okay. So this what Kazal says. So Nebuchadnezzar wasn't exactly born rich. He was actually born very very poor. And uh he was also friends with Jeremiah, the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah book of Jeremiah. He also wrote a he saw the beta mikdash. They were friends when little kids. when they were little kids, the Banana saw said to said to Jeremiah, "I wish I wish God gave me the power so I could destroy the beta mikdash." So Jeremiah saw in his prophecy that it's actually the moment of fortune for meaning that Hashem is listening to his words and he's going to fulfill whatever he says. It's going to fulfill what he says. So Jeremiah in his wisdom said, "Okay, okay, listen. At least don't kill the the the holy people. No, I'm going to kill them. At least don't destroy this. No, I'm going to destroy it." So at the end, he asked him for a few things. At least don't do this. At least don't do this. Says, "No, I'm destroying everything." Says, "Okay, so give me something. It's little kids. Give me something." He says, "Cuz we're friends. I'm Jew. I'm a Jew. You're going to destroy my house. And this is Nebu thinks it's imaginary. But Jeremiah knows it's real. It's going to happen. So he says, "Okay, whoever you can get out of the city the night before, I'll let him live. I'll let him live." And the story goes where Hashem actually did not want the people to live. He wanted people to die. So he actually made it so that Jeremiah had to leave town a few days before the beta mikdash was attacked. So when he came back he saw that there was already smoke and it was already too late to save people. So anyway, Nebuchadnezz later on becomes a scribe scribe for the king writes his letters and so on and the king hears a miracle that happened in the beta mikdash and he says come scribe write a letter for me I want you to write three three sentences tell the Jewish king which I believe was but I'm not 100% sure so don't quote Tell the Jewish king that I said shalom, you know, hello to his people. Hello. And to his god, hello. He's showing some respect. Of course, he this is what he writes. He puts us in the envelope, gives it to the mailman. And then the scribe Nebuchadnezzar comes back and he says, "Your highness, this god of theirs, you really believe in it?" Sure, of course. What do you mean? You know what happened in Egypt? You know what happened? All the miracles that have happened in the beta mcdash, they have miracles. Of course. Goes, "So why you disrespecting it so much?" Disrespecting it? How can you say that? He goes, "I don't know. If you really believe in their god, why are you putting their god last on the letter? Cuz yo, you're a smart scribe. Go, go get go chase him. Chase the mailman to go get it. So started running and the mailman was three steps outside of the castle. Three steps outside of the door of the castle. So he caught him three steps outside of the castle and he took the letter and he changed it for that respect. For that respect that he gave Hashem, Hashem decreed that no king will be more powerful than Abu Kame until Mashiach comes. And for that respect, for that honor that he got until this day, each one of you is trying to undo it without even knowing. When are you trying to undo it? Every day you do, you take three steps back. That's why you take three steps back. You take three steps back. We're trying to undo what did we're trying to undo it. We're taking three steps backs like morons. have no idea why we're doing it our whole life. Now we know. Now we know. I heard he was a sick man. Very sick. Once a he was also king of the animals. He was speaking to the animals. He is he didn't have a horse. He had a lion. He rode a lion. Wrote a lion. But Hashem eventually punished him and he made him into a u he was for a few years he became uh crazy. Became crazy. Became part of the animals. He ran away from the kingdom, started hanging out in the jungle with the animals. Thought he was an animal, went crazy, then he came back eventually. But anyway, how do we even get to this story? Uh, so it's a good story though. So anyway, so you have a uh um Jeremiah tells us a lot of different secrets about what happened in those times. It's amazing going back to uh the story this Wall Street to you know from Wall Street to the Western Wall stuff you know some people are connecting to it because they like the uh hope that Hashem is going to give us. Some people like the money part. You go from nothing to something then you lose but you're still okay. Shows that uh money really isn't everything. uh and even people that want to succeed in life they uh they connected to it also. Some people have the issue of intermarriage and they see that there is obviously a uh reward and punishment and the world is really serious. You know, Hashem is really serious about it. Uh whether someone is intermarried already, someone is going to be intermarried and didn't care until now. All of that stuff adds up. people connected that part and each person has taken a different part of the story and applied it to themselves. But the um I think the the part that most people um connect to the most is that is the lesson learned from all of it. Um which is again there is a benefit to suffering. This is one of the most difficult lessons for people to understand today. Most people think that they came to this world to hang out, to enjoy, to relax, go to the beach, maybe go to Cancun, couple of vacations a year, build up their IRA account so they have money for retirement, maybe have a drink with a few friends once a week, relax. That's what most people think they came to the world to do. So when they don't have that over an extended period of time because they're not teenagers anymore, you know, once you grow up, you start having bills. You have to pay the rent and it's always on time. The rent, the rent, the bill comes always on time. The electricity always on time. It's not like us. We're late to work every day. The bills come on time. The phone bill, same day every month. Clockwork. Clockwork. Nothing. You don't even have to ask it to come on time. It comes. Sometimes they even send it early. My uh electric bill, the thing, they send it to me 3 weeks before I have to pay it. Three weeks without to already get stressed. I already have to come up with this money. Wow. 3 weeks from now. What am I going to come up with this money? I don't go to work for somebody give me a paycheck. They give you they give you 3 weeks in advance just to think about it for 3 weeks. Get stressed out. You going to get this money. So when we live in this world, we live in a material world. We realize that all the dreams that we had, we're teenagers are not realistic. You can't go out and hang out with your friends in the bar every week if you want to have a good marriage because your wife needs you home to help her with the kids. You can't go and hang out with your friends at the bar if you actually want to have, you know, a real career. If you want to have a relationship with your kids, if you want to actually have a at least a chance at a successful future. Real life hits. You get busy and a little bit of time you have, you want to spend it with your loved ones. So you realize that all those dreams you had when you were a teenager of going to 16 vacations a year, you can't really do in real life. So then you get start getting upset. It's like what's the point of life then? If I can't go to 50 vacations a year, if I can't go to visa or Australia or I don't know some other parade or you know drug party in the world, if I can't do that every every you know weekend, what's the point in life? So you reality hits you right in the face right when you just started your life. On top of that, you have a bunch of people that grow up thinking that life is supposed to be easy. Just like their parents treated them. Every time they cried, parents gave them something. They went and played uh some type of competition in uh you know, in junior high school, they always got a trophy. 80 people ran in a marathon, everyone got a trophy. No last place. Everyone's first place. Everyone's a winner. They played soccer, they got first place, but so did every single other team. Everyone got a trophy. No one loses ever. They teach people this mentality that you're always supposed to get something. You're always a winner just for participating, which is 100% developing the biggest losers we've had since creation. There's one winner. Everyone else is not a winner. There's no such thing as everyone wins. No such thing. only with Hashem. You do what you want, you want. He can win and you can win. But as far as in the material world, there's no way. You don't hear, "Listen, both of these guys got the gold medal for the same race." Why? Why in the Olympics no one gets? No, two people don't get the gold medal because two people can't win. There's first place, there's second place, there's third place, and there's the rest of the losers. They're going to train for the next few years to hopefully be a winner next time. Not saying losers like to insult them, but that's really what they are. They know that they are not not insulting them like they're it wasn't worth it for them to do anything. Just they lost. They didn't work hard enough. No, they weren't talented enough. The other guy was more talented. He wanted it more. Whatever the case may be, the point is he's the winner. Everyone else is not. Even the second place guy feels miserable by being second place. Why? Cuz he was that much closer than everybody else to be first place. He's going to eat his heart out even more than the guy that was last place. Last place like, "All right, whatever. I didn't even have a chance." But the guy at second place, he's so close to first place. Oh, what? He's eating himself up for the next, I don't know, however many years it is to the next Olympics. So, the thing is, when you train kids to think that every time they cry, they're going to get something, you're training losers. So, now they go to school, they expect, "Oh, wait. I'm gonna go to, I don't know, Harvard. I'm gonna go to Yale. I'm gonna go to Yeshiva University. I'm gonna go to whatever school. So, of course, my parents are going to pay for it. So, the kid expects the parents to come up with $50,000 a year. Like, I don't care where you get the money, Aba. I don't care where you get the money, I'm your kid. You're supposed to pay for me. And of course, since I'm going to go to school, you also have to get me a car. What do you want me to walk to school to get a car? And of course, school is far away. It's not next to the house, so you have to pay for the dorm room also. I don't care where you get the money that you brought me to this world. It's your problem to pay for me. That's the kid's mentality. It's your problem that you have to come up with $50,000 a year for me to get a communications degree I can't do anything with in real life. for me to go to bars every single night for the first two and a half years of school because in reality in college for anyone that went you don't actually even start learning until your senior year. First two and a half years are complete waste of time. Even three years complete waste of time. And in reality, even the four years are not used to because the real learning for what you're going to do in real life is only in grad school. It's not even in college. 10% of all the studies, right? So what do you do during those first few years? You take a bunch of electives, a bunch of classes that you have to take just so you can justify paying them $50,000 a year. and you take your test, you go, you pick your own schedule, you can wake up at 3:00 in the afternoon, start taking your classes at 4:00, or you could finish all of your classes by 9:30 in the morning and then hang out the rest of the day. And every single night, fraternity parties, uh, sarity parties in this world. This is why when I went to college for one year, Bashem only one year. I went to Bingington University, nice school, a lot of Jewish people came to that school from Yeshivot. And I was never around really yeshiva guys before. And I could tell you that all of the worry that people have today about sending kids to secular schools, you know, people worry, you know, people that are religious very very worried about sending their kids to secular schools, you know, to university, to Harvard, to Yale, to Bingington, to whoever. Very, very worried. Why? Because when you were in yeshiva, we had control. There was just so much trouble you could get into. He's sending the guy away to a, you know, upstate New York or a different state, a different place. God only knows what the guy's going to do. God only know what what what this girl is going to do. So, they're very very worried about sending him to these secular schools. Now, I went to school. This is 20 years more than 20 years ago. 20 years ago. Wow. I'm getting old. So, yeah, when you start talking in decades, you realize you got old. So people are worried in the fr world, the religious world, even the modern orthodox world, they're all worried about what's going to happen once I send my kids to college. Well, I'm telling you from 20 years ago, I think back then, somebody told me, if I remember the statistic right, more than half the kids came from Jewish schools. More than half the kids were Jewish in this un specific university. Cuz I guess it's close. It's a good school and it's close to whatever New York uh you know a lot of yeshiva people a lot of seminary people 20 years ago they weren't worried enough today's worry is not enough of 20 years ago's problem today is much worse the worst kids in the school were those kids the girls that used to be religious before they came to They go home. They go home. Parents think they're religious. Oh, look at my daughter is so nice. She wears a long dress and she says hashem worst worst wor as far as if anyone wants you know I'm talking about uh holiness here not that that they think is good in the world. worst the guys biggest alcoholics, drug addicts came from yeshivot at least that was my experience so this is 20 years ago I don't know what's happening today just definitely it did it didn't get it didn't get better why is this happening though why is this why is this the case one of the reasons is because when you have someone secluded their whole life well their whole life all they saw is the books the Torah the community everyone looks the black and white. Everyone goes to everyone this, everyone that. Okay, fine. That's good. It's it's a system. But then you release him into Sodom and Gomorrah. You're not like releasing him into the world little by little, you know, hem. He'll be fine. He'll develop and know what's the difference between good and bad. You're going from nothing and seclusion. Mama is 100% to Sodom and Gomorrah. College is 100% Sodom and Gomorrah. No innocent girl exists. No innocent guy exists. This is affecting everyone. I wasn't innocent. If anything, I was probably worse than most. Shem hopefully will forgive me at some before I die. I'm dead serious. I actually did Chuba my second semester. I have no idea how it happened. Hashem had mercy on me. I did like half chuba half chuba after my second semester. I finished the first semester. I went to my cuz I had a break. I had a break uh you know school and uh my father got one of his crazy ideas. He saw a rabbi. I actually think it was Rabbi Misrai by the way. Rabbi Mizrai doesn't remember it, but my parents swear it's Rabbi Misrai. He went to one of his lectures. I think he actually did a lecture at our house. When we get to we're going to see if it really was him or not because I don't remember it, but I do remember Mizrai from 20 years ago cuz I went to his house. But he says he doesn't remember it. So maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. I don't know. Maybe it's just I'm putting things together just because I'm a big fan. But anyway, uh he did a lecture and um convinced my dad or somebody convinced my dad to send this boy he has from doing nothing to my for a few weeks. So I went to my I got into it. I liked it. I did cha started keeping Shabbat, put on, started laying fine. So for uh the next maybe year and a half, excuse me, two years I did uh I stayed religious and then you know as soon as I stopped learning I uh learning Torah meaning I fell off uh took me many years to come back come back to Hashem. But uh anyway I went to that school for one year. I got uh in trouble at the end of the year. long story, but uh the point being is that I could tell you from personal experience. Anyone that's worried about sending their kids to university is not worried enough. It's not worried enough. Why? It's gamash 100%. It's very very difficult to to to uh to justify sending your kid away to school. Now, of course, you can't keep the kid like some people, some people in the Jewish world keep their kid so secluded that the kid doesn't even know what technology is until he's 20 years old. That's also not good. Why? Cuz the kid eventually is going to need to get a job. Not everybody's going to become a and so eventually he needs to know what the world is. So, the kid doesn't even know what a uh phone is until he's 25 years old. He's not going to have any job skills. He doesn't know uh you know how to use a calculator. He doesn't know how to use a computer. He doesn't even know what the internet is. What ends up happening is that as soon as they discover it, they go crazy with 100. They go from nothing to everything. And a lot of them have a serious serious problem. Those are the guys you see at the worst possible places cuz once they once they discover like the rest of the world, they can't control themselves. So it's mash. It's a big tikun. It's very very difficult. And uh parents need to pray for it every second. Mam parents really need to pray for it because there's really no without Hashem. There's really no hope. You have to really raise a kid and they uh with 100% to have this kid even become just to keep because again if the kid wants to be a doctor, he has a brain, he wants to be a doctor, he wants to be a lawyer, she wants to be a lawyer, she wants to be a doctor, okay fine. They're going to need to go to college. You know, it's not the days of the where you could uh learn on your own and just decide to be a doctor one day, get a few people to sign off on you. Yes, he knows what he's talking about. So, you became a doctor. No, you know, you have to get degrees, licenses, and so on. So, you have to go to college. The problem is getting that degree requires you to go to a little bit of geome or Sodom and Gomorra. I'm not really sure which one is worse yet. So it's difficult. It's a very very difficult very difficult. We'll have hopefully the mashia comes before my uh my daughter goes to college. Uh but anyway, so people have a uh warped version of reality. They realize that as soon as they finish finish this college and their parents are almost bankrupt, they expect that as soon as they finish college, they have this degree and they're going to get a job that pays no less than $100,000 a year. Like, what do you mean? You want me to you want me to work for $30,000? Yeah. I just spent $200,000 in college for $30,000 a year. I'm like, I'm never going to pay this loan back. like they actually expect to make big money coming out of college. They actually come minus they come out of debt. Forget about just the debt. But the mindset that people have and I tell you hiring a lot of them in my career, they come in expecting to already be a millionaire like on the path to being a millionaire within a few years. Kids from Harvard would come to me expecting jobs. I wouldn't even hire them sometimes. What do you have? A piece of paper? It's useless to me. I need a brain. I need a personality. I need a mouth. I need intuition. I need experience. You have none of them. You have a piece of paper that you pay $200,000 for most careers. It's irrelevant now. And in reality, what in the old days going to college was that was the point. You go to college, you get a job. In today's world, college is useless unless you go to grad school. If you just go to college, okay, you'll get a basic job that you probably could have gotten that job anyway. That's just the reality. And if you want to really get this big-time job at Goldman Sachs or some giant law firm or at uh you know, I don't know, some big company that's very very selective, you not only have to go to college, you have to go to the best college, the best university, the best uh uh grad school. You have to be at the top of the class, meaning you have to be practically perfect. You have to be validictorian cuz you know now instead, you know, in the old days, they used to have one validictorian. Now they have eight. So you have to be validictorian. You have to be a top student and on top of it you have to have connections and it will help you if you're like a minority. It'll help. No would help. Why? Because Goldman Sachs wants to be politically correct. They want to say well we hire 18 uh Spanish people a year and 27 black people and six Jews. So to them, to the statistics of the political correctness world, it looks better. It's complete nonsense. But the point is that if you want to get that job, that top paying job, you have to be like a robot. Okay? Even if you're very very smart, what's the chance of you being that guy? So this is a big reality check for most kids. They come out of school, they realize that they're not who they thought they were. They tried very very hard. They studied uh you know, they had many, many sleepless nights, but they went into the job market. Sometimes they can't get a job at all and they end up becoming a secretary for somebody or they end up becoming a stock broker that they could have been without anything or they end up doing something else. Uh they end up working for Aba at the factory and Aba could just show off. Look, look. My son has a degree. Okay. What is it that degree for? Communications. How's that communications helping you today when you're lifting the boxes with the rest of the Mexicans? So, the point is it's a big reality check for the kid cuz he until now he got everything he wanted. Now the real world hits and the real world is very very different than what he was taught for the first 20 plus years of his life. Now, the sayings that you hear in the secular world like life sucks and all types of other vulgar sayings comes to fruition. Like you say, oh, that's what they meant. Until now, he was partying, enjoying this. As long as he gets an A, everybody's happy. But now it's like, wait, I have to pay rent. I have to pay gas. I have to pay electric. I have to pay for insurance for myself. I have to buy a $3,000 car because I are not gonna buy me the $87,000 Mercedes-Benz or BMW or whatever cars are out there in the world. What do you mean you're not going to buy me a brand new car? How do you How are you showing me your love, Aba, but you're not buying me a brand new car for $50,000? You know, some kids actually like refuse to get cars when, you know, because it's not good enough. Like I actually saw this a few times. kid, a father would buy one, you know, buy the kid a brand new car, 30, 30, $40,000. The kid wouldn't want. No, it's not good enough. You know what my first car was? It's a $3,000 car that was completely beat up, wasn't uh and that was already for my own money. I saved the money. If it was like, you know, I don't know. I I don't know. I guess I grew up in a different generation. But the point is is that people are raised today with a different warped mentality and they're set up to fail. They're set up to fail. So as soon as they hit reality, they start thinking that life is terrible. They blame God. God did this to me. And it becomes very very easy to view yourself like a victim. Like I have many people contacting me and they tell me their story and they make it seem like they suffered the Holocaust three times. Not once, three times. Three times. Oh, I had such a difficult life, difficult childhood. My parents yelled at me. Okay. and people didn't not everyone liked me in school. I'm reading the story. It's like, you know, they people send you a migilla. And I look at it, I'm like, it's not even it's not even his fault. I can't blame the guy. I'm not going to, you know, listen, poor guy thinks he suffered. Poor woman thinks she suffered. To me, it's ged. I look at their life. They tell me this story. I'm like, "Wow, what a good life." And at the end, they say, "What should I do?" Like, you know, it's like they're hopeless. Wow, it's such a good life. I wish I grew up like this. But that's the thing. It's not their fault. It's not their fault that they think that their life is suffering cuz they're 25 years old and they just got a job for $15 an hour. It's not their fault. They were raised with this mentality that they're supposed to be gifted everything in life. And now when they didn't get it, they only have one place to blame. And they blame God. They blame God. So they justify being an atheist. They justify not being religious. And they ask stupid questions like, "If God is so good, where was he during the Holocaust?" Well, the good news is we made three lectures about it. Go watch them. You know, so that's that's the thing that I think is very very important for us to know. If you want to get closer to the truth, you have to start realizing that not only is suffering part of life, but suffering is necessary. It's necessary in order to build you. In order for you to get to become the diamond that you can become, that Hashem knows you can become, you have to go through pressure. How does a diamond in a natural way? How does it happen? Through pressure. Diamond is not just like, you know, born out of thin air. It's a chemical process that goes through the earth. There's a bunch of Yeah, exactly. It's pressure. A diamond is eventually made and even after you get the uh diamond, it's a rough diamond. You look at it looks like a rock. If you don't know about diamonds, it just looks like an ugly rock. But then they take it to my dad's factory or 47th Street and somebody starts cutting it and voila, you have a uh 4 karat D flawless diamond worth a couple hundred,000. Three weeks ago, the thing looked like a rock I wouldn't even throw at somebody being embarrassed. It's an ugly rock today. It's hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why? You cut it. You fixed it. You destroyed it a little bit. You cut this piece. You cut that piece. Went through a lot of pressure, a lot of cutting. The diamond went through a lot of pain. Went through a lot of pain to become a diamond. But now it's priceless. You understand? That's what we have to if you want to be a priceless sadik, you want to be a major, get ready to be treated like a diamond. Get ready to be treated like a diamond. And that's why Lazal, he knew there's two types of Toras. You could be compliant with the Torah, learn Torah, enjoy Torah, have a cup of coffee with the Torah, maybe a little potato chips on the side, enjoy your phone, somebody text you, oh, and go back to the book, you know, you're enjoying the Torah. No problem. Okay. So, you complain, you do some your tit is hanging out showing everybody you're Jewish. When you ride your little bicycle, everyone sees the tit flying around. Great. You keep you go keep Shabbat. Good job. You are one of very very few people in the world that actually has a chance of being saved when uh Mashiah comes. Good. No chance. Zero chance. Negative actually. Why? You have no idea what it takes in order to be a inar that you buy uh the uh shootenstein in the beginning of I show you one of the books. I think I said this enough another sh. It's a couple of blessings you do before you learn. As you can see, all of this has nothing to do with the para. So, we'll finish the introduction in a couple of minutes, then we'll start. So in the beginning of the uh before you start learning there's a couple of blessings you should do before you learn Torah it says and it mentions a few verses and then it mentions the um uh verse in proverbs proverbs 2:6 it says it says Um because Hashem grants wisdom. From his mouth comes knowledge and understanding of God. Meaning Torah, you could learn it. But there's two types. Is the stuff that you learn and the stuff that's gifted to you. You learn a math book for 10 hours, you're going to get 10 hours of knowledge. You learn science, 10 hours, you're going to get 10 hours of knowledge. You learn Torah 10 hours, you can get 10 hours of knowledge or you get a year of knowledge or a week of knowledge. Question is how much did you struggle to learn it? How much sweat, how much pain, how much suffering, how much sacrifice are you willing to endure to learn this Torah? So it's not easy if you actually another good thing to so you say this lesson before you learn or really anything but aside from that another good thing to do before um uh before learning to is read it's a short Psalm 134 Psalm 134 It's very very short and good to read before you start learning. So those are a couple of good things to know about learning Torah if you want to earn it meaning you want to get Torah beyond your uh learning you want to beam get ready. Can you do like half suffering, half regular life? Do as much as you want. There's no there's no there's no there's no uh there's no a requirement. You can do what you want. You got to get 100% suffering. No, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to suffer your whole life. It means you have to sacrifice. You have to make major major sacrifices. Major sacrifices to me major sacrif your whole life. Not sleep at night. No, listen. Sleep. You got to sleep. But you're not going to sleep eight hours a day. You know, life you have to live. You have to eat. You have to this. But there's certain things that you have to do that uh I'll give you some I'll give you something. Okay. Says um says that uh if doesn't even know the difference between the taste of food, taste of food, you give him whatever he has no idea. just eats, moves on with his life. Meaning that as long as you're still enjoying food, you're still still not into it yet. Fia once ate a soap. Okay. Something next. He didn't know it was uh he thought it was food. Yeah. Because for them, for someone they eat just to live. They don't live to eat. You understand? Just whatever. They just eat whatever they have to eat. Whatever's in front of them. salty, not salty, sweet, not sweet. It's irrelevant. They don't know what it is. They're just doing it because they have to because they're still in a body. But the whole time they're thinking about how soon can I finish this so I could also do the and then go back to my study. So again, it's it's a different mentality and it's required. uh that uh that rabbi um uh Rabbi Miel uh very very smart guy and uh you know about chuva learned a lot in a relatively short period of time became a knows a lot of Torah by heart. He uh I saw a clip of his uh um said a personal story about himself. Somebody asked him, "How did you uh how did you get so much to in such a short period of time?" He said, "For a few years, he didn't leave a room. Just went into a room, didn't leave." Yeah. What? Didn't didn't go out. Didn't go out. Didn't go outside. Never went to celebrations. Only once a year he uh allowed himself to be hosted at somebody's house. Other than that, he would not go to any celebrations, any parties, any gatherings, any nothing. He just studied non-stop. What he did is normal. He got a gift. But the point is what he did is normal. You want to be to meet, that's what you have to do. You expect to sleep 8 hours a day, eat steak, you know, enjoy the the sweet tastes of different types of foods and, you know, go on vacation a few times a year. Fine. You'll know Torah. I'm not saying you'll be an idiot. You'll know Torah. You study, you learn, you you know something. But to be it's different world. Your brain works differently. Your works differently. So that's that's again you have to you have to decide what you want in life. Let's so now that we finished the introduction, let's uh let's do some par. So Musher Renu is delivering is continues to deliver his mus to Is in the last five five weeks of his life. And he tells Is then and forever a serious reality check of how the of Shamim work, how the accounting of Shamayim works. See, I present before you today a blessing and a curse. The blessing that you hearken to the communic to the commandments of Hashem your God that I command you today. And the curse if you do not hearken to the commandments of Hashem your God and you stray from the path that I command you today to follow gods of others that you did not know. So he doesn't say you're going to get you have a um blessing or a curse. He says it's a blessing and a curse, which is a very very very big difference. One, if it's a blessing or a curse, that means we have free choice. If it's a blessing and a curse, that means we have choice. explanation. A blessing or a curse means that if I go to work, I get paid. I don't go to work, I don't get paid. Simple. That's the free choice that college students of today think they have. I comply with Torah, I get reward. I don't comply with the Torah, I don't get reward, nothing happens. God's merciful. He'll just give me a lower level Ganedin. I won't be with Rabi Shimon Lazar. No, I won't be with them. But I have like, you know, small little section in Ghaned. That's free choice. Abenu, the only prophet, only person that ever spoke to Hashem face to face. The one that knew Hashem better than anyone else before or after him. The one who went to Shamim and actually saw things that no man will ever see or saw before. At least not while alive is telling us it's not that. He's telling us it's not blessing or a curse. It's blessing and a curse. Meaning it comes together. It's a package deal. Meaning you just have choice. You do what Hashem says, you get reward. You don't do it, you get punished. Reward and punishment is the basic foundation of Judaism that every Jew must believe. This is why it's one of the 13 principles of faith that the Rambam says that is required in order for you to be a Jew. When you go through conversion, they're going to ask you, "What are the 13 principles of faith?" And if you don't believe in reward and punishment, you cannot convert. It's a basic principle in Judaism. So, what is it like? It's like if I go to work, I get paid, but if I don't go to work, the boss sends sends people to my house and beats me up. That's what we really have. That's the choice we have. We don't have free choice where nothing happens. That's what it means when Hashem is telling us here in his Torah, the blessing and the curse come together. It's a package deal. Now the reason why it's very very important for every single person to know that is because once you see that it comes together once you see that there's a cost for not doing what Hashem says then your perspective changes. Once you see that if I don't do what he says, I have a serious problem. If I do item, I have a serious reward. But the point is not doing anything is a choice. Being an atheist is actually a belief. It's not you believe in nothing. It's not that there's no belief. It's that you actually believe in nothing. It's someone that chooses to be secular. That is in essence an actual religion. You believe that there's no God. It's as simple as it gets. If you look at the Pew studies of intermarriage I recently reviewed, it verified a story that I heard that's scary. After World War II, they did statistics and they wanted to uh they did a recent study again. What are the chances of your children coming out Jewish and your grandchildren coming out Jewish? If you are orthodox Jewish couple, conservative, reform, secular, and they calculated for four generations, it's obviously much higher. I think it was 80% or something like that. Um, meaning you can't really compare the numbers. Meaning that being secular statistically, not that reform and conservative is allowed, if you actually have a choice, you should be secular rather than reform and conservative just because it's so bad. It's mocking the Torah. But nonetheless, being secular is people don't realize that they are literally putting an atomic bomb in their family tree where at some point it's going to it's like it's a mock. It's like a mine, but not a regular mine. It's a mine that's like an atomic bomb. At one point, it's going to explode. Someone's going to intermar. That's it. That's the end. That's the end of the lineage. And who knows if we have a marriage to have somebody that we're going to marry, convert, not convert. I went through it. It's not an easy process. So people that are choosing to be secular have to realize that whatever they are today, 99% chance their kids are going to be worse. However close they are to Hashem today, their kids will be less statistically. But then you throw God in it and according to the at the end of times something unusual is going to happen for the first time in history. The kids for the first time in history of the end of times generation are going to make their parents do chuva. Throughout all of history, our Torah was passed from father to son, from father to son, from father to son. We all relied on our parents to keep us in the system. If our parents were religious, we would be religious. If we left the it was at some point later in our life when we became parents or we became adults. But you wouldn't see an 8-year-old secular kid if the father is, you know, a rabbi. Just wouldn't happen. But then things change where the parents or the kid eventually grew up and decide to get off the system, get off the train, become secular, thinking that okay, I don't want to be religious. I'll just keep Shabbat, keep Shabbat, I keep kosher, but all the other stuff is too much for me. Okay, his kid was okay, kosher only in the house. Shabbat twice a year or when someone dies. Okay, his kid is no Shabbat, no kosher, but I'll keep the holidays. And little by little, eventually you get to the the grand great grandkid. He doesn't even know what the difference is between Judaism and Christianity. He thinks they're all crazy. So this is how religion was passed. Judaism was passed from generation to generation to generation. But Hashem has mercy on us. And he says that at the end of times, one of the prophecies which we're seeing firsthand right now happening is that you're seeing the younger generation connected to much more than their parents are. And that's why seen a lot of my shim, a lot of young people just like you fill the room up. Hundreds of people and they're interested. Sometimes they bring their parents. Their parents are suffering being there suffering until they start hearing the story. Sometimes they connect but the kids are like excited. They like have to convince their parents to come. It's unbelievable. It's very very opposite of what it's always been. So when someone understands that the blessing and the curse come together, there's a reward, there's a punishment, you can start taking things into account. you start looking at things in a different way. Now all of us are looking for blessings and I had an idea already spoke a while ago but uh I did I said it in my Hebrew she were last week I think it's a very good idea we missed in last week's para everyone is looking for the blessing part no one wants to curse right no one wants to curse you ask anybody what's the number one blessing they want eight out of Then people would say panasa first then health then this then that everything else this that but most people will mention panaha. They go and they spend fortunets going to these fake mikubalim, these babot to give them special blessings or give them some stupid red string or some water they put in a weird looking bottle that they actually got from the faucet but they charge them $1,000 for it. all these strange things. I heard recently this Rasha fake mubal uh sold a woman a book for $15,000 because she thought she has on her. She doesn't even keep Shabbat. She doesn't keep anything, but she spent $15,000 on a book thinking that it's going to help her. Obviously, this guy's been doing it for a long time already, cheating people. But more people are going to him more and more every day. They're also at fault. Everyone's at fault. Everyone that is The point being is that people are spending fortunes, fortunes trying to get this blessing. They go to rabbis, they stand online for 5 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours waiting for a blessing. Blessing. They just want a blessing. Nothing wrong with getting a blessing from a real sadik. problem is that it's very very hard to know who's a real Sadik and who's not when you're in a secular world because even religious people fall for it. There's actually one guy in Israel that's um uh found that this Mubal is really a fake and did a videotaping of him where on one end the first beginning of the video you see all these people black and whiteim kissing his hand celebrating him big giant big this big that fortunes they pay him to give him blessings and all types of The other 75% of this video is masva. You can't watch it because it has immodesty the whole time. Hugging women, touching women, go saying that the Torah is the same thing like everything else. All religions were man-made. Everything is okay. 100% 100% heretic. But people think he's a mikub. So people spend fortunes on this nonsense. But getting a upon us, easiest thing in the world. Easiest thing in the world. Now, we already know we talked about Shabbat. Oh, we talked enough about Shabbat as far as when it connects to we know it. Without Shabbat, we're not even, you know, we're not even considered Jewish. So, that already is a prerequisite, assuming you already keep Shabbat. You don't keep Shabbat. Nothing I'm going to say is going to work anyway. Then of course, everyone knows you need to have happy wife, happy life. But not only happy life, but also happy bank account. You can have bank account. You're going to have good panala when you have happy wife. So people know this. They've repeated this already. But the most undervalued way to get panas is also the most undervalued prayer in my opinion, my lowly opinion, I think in all of Judaism, which is the says says last week's Book of Deuteronomy chapter 8 verse 10. You will eat and you will be satisfied and bless Hashem your God for the good land that he gave you. spends multiple pages discussing Batam, how it was built, the significance of it, and confirming that it's the number one, number one blessing in all of Judaism. It's more important than it's more important than it's more important than every every prayer every blessing we have in the entire why because it's the only one that we have exact instructions to do it has an understanding that we need to do it twice a day and therefore we're required to do it in the also talks about how you're required to do twice a day as an obligation. One in the morning, one at night, specific times. And then also there's one you're supposed to do before you go to sleep, but that's to protect you from bad dreams, from demons, from wasting seed while you're sleeping, all types of things like this. But the major obligation morning prayer and sh and evening prayer amid you have to do three times a day in every one of the prayers that's the what's called when you say that's what they means the or also called those two prayers are the prayers you have to do every single And most people believe that they're the most important prayers in Judaism. And even though they are the two most important in Judaism, they're not as important as. And the reason why is because those two and we have as an understanding from the Torah that we obligated to do it. Whereas it's not an understanding. It's literal. It literally says you have to do it. You eat, you have to bless Hashem. Simple. So now since Kazal saw that we're obligated to do it anyway, we constructed they constructed the baton first part of Mazon and it goes in details of each and every single one what it means. Very very very interesting. The first paragraph it starts that Hashem nourishes the world with goodness and grace. First paragraph written by Mosherenu. You want to know what Moses wrote? Here you go. First paragraph, when Mount Si, second paragraph, we thank you, Hashem, our God, that you've given us a heritage to our forefathers and a land that's desirable and good and spacious with the Torah and life and food. Second paragraph written. Who was the dog after Moshe? Joshua. Oh, come on guys. Yeah. Joshua. Joshua. After Moses died, who did he give the command to? He gave it to Joshua. Yeshua Benoon. So Yeshua Benoon wrote the second paragraph when after we crossed the uh the river. Hashem split the sea. the Jordan River just like he split the sea of reeds, split it into two. We passed it. We get we went into the land of Israel. Yeshua wrote the second paragraph. Then you have Have mercy, Hashem, our God, on us and on Israel, your nation, and on Jerusalem, your city. Third part written by King David and his son, King Solomon. So now this is the giants of giants. Moses, Joshua, King David, King Solomon. We throw it on the side like we think some guy wrote it from uh local Bitkessa down the street. So then Kazal knew this. We're obligated to do this anyway. Listen, we're already obligated to do it. Let's throw some requests here. We're thanking Hashem. We're praising his name. Good. Have mercy, Hashem. Thank you. Good. 100%. if we're already obligated to do it. Let's ask for everything we want. So what do they do? They said from that's what they did. All the whole section of the merciful one may be praised on his throne. Uh and they keep asking for different things. Give us mercy. Give us you know health success. sustenance, a uh perfect cure. I mean uh pretty much everything and anything that someone wants. A blessing like our forefathers of that everything that we want will come true. Could just wrote that one. Everything we want come true. That it'll be on us. It'll spread on us like a uh shelter of peace. no war that'll implant this Torah and make it easy for us to love him in our deeply in our heart and fear him at the same time. Meaning the ultimate connection that Abraham is Yakov, Moses, David, all of these giants had we want it. They said if what would you have to do is blessing had these requests. So that's what they added the So now we have ourselves a gold mine. Gold mine all day. You know, people try to go to sometimes they have a tough time connecting to Hashem during maybe the Kazan is going too fast. Maybe he's going too slow. Maybe you're late for an appointment. Maybe you just lost your job. Maybe you have problems. You don't even know what's going on. You're not sure if you're asking for something or you're you have no idea what you're doing. Sometimes you don't even know what to ask for. Sometimes Khazal already knew you have no idea what you're doing. So they wrote it for you. All they said, "Let's do something simple. You're obligated to do it anyway. Eat a piece of bread and you'll get everything you want." But like you read the in 7 seconds. Read the and actually learn what the says. Don't read it like a robot where it's in six seconds you finished it. Read it. Doesn't matter how much time it takes you, but actually understand what it says. The one that wrote the Mishna before the he says if you have zon which means you have three men one can read out loud for everyone. In today's I don't know why the custom has changed but in today's custom many people if there's a zimun if there's either three or 10 men um the person reads out loud at the beginning and then everyone reads for themsel quietly but in it says differently. It says that one person reads for everyone out loud. That's really how it's supposed to be. Anyway, Rebi Rabi says, "If you're going to have someone read the baton, number one blessing in all of the Torah, have somebody read it for you. Make sure it's someone with a big heart that's generous." Why? Heart, small heart. guy came to my house. I want to honor him. He's an important guest. He's a nice guy. He's a rabbi. He's a this. He's a that. I want to give him. People throw at people like it's nothing. Yeah. Yeah. He's a nice guy. He's my neighbor. He's this. He's that. He's my friend from high school. They give anybody. He says, "No, don't do that. Only give it to somebody you know is very generous. If they're holy, then usually you know that means they're generous. can't be holy with being a kaman, being cheap. Why? Why can't you be holy if you're cheap? Because being cheap is anti- good. One of the purpose of the one of the p purposes of a person's life in this world is to emulate Hashem's character traits. Emulate Hashem's midot. Whatever Hashem does, we need to learn how to do it. Hashem is kind. We need to learn how to be kind. Hashem is merciful. We need to learn how to be merciful. So, Hashem, what does he do all day? He only gives. He gets nothing in return. Cuz nothing that we give him, he actually needs. The blessings are for us. We ask him for stuff. The prayers are for us. We ask him for stuff. The Torah we learn is for us so we can get so we know what to do. Everything we do is for us. Nothing is for him. Everything he actually only gives. So when someone is cheap, he's doing the opposite of what Hashem does all day cuz Hashem is only giving. And someone is cheap, that means that they don't want to give. So it's mash 100% anti- good to be cheap. So the says, "Pick someone that's generous, has a big heart." Why? Because when he gets to this section of where he asks for all these things, you know, a health success, monetary success, spiritual success, all of these wonderful requests from Hashem. He's not one of these cheap people that's going to be scared about what the other guy has, thinking that if he has that means if he has more that means I have less. You want a guy that has a big heart where he knows that the world is not limited, that Hashem is not limited. So when he asks for things for Hashem, he's asking for all of us. He actually means for all of us to get for all of us to get for all of us to have good things, not just him. So now I had an idea. You know, unfortunately, a lot of a uh a lot of kosher restaurants are owned by not always the most kosher people. They're owned by secular people that are just capitalizing on the need of the Jewish community to eat kosher food. So the uh none of these places you go to a kosher restaurant they keep the law they have a miach at least they're supposed to they have mashia they follow the kosher laws but the people that actually running the store the people that are actually they don't really care well this is why in Israel it's very different if the balabite if the owner of the store does not keep Shabbat they don't give him a kosher stamp and the reason why is because they're If he doesn't care enough about his own soul, why should I think that he's going to care enough about my soul to give me kosher food? Maybe he's buying a donkey from the Arabs for 10 cents on a dollar. Maybe he's buying, you know, the the neot. How do I know? He doesn't believe in God. He's not keeping Shabbat. So, how do I know that he's going to he actually cares enough about kosher for me from food that I'm going to eat? In America, it's not the same. But nonetheless, there's mim there's people that monitor it and you know there's legal issues and stuff like that. So, if you know the mashia, you know who the kosher restaurant is, even if the balabite is not a Shabbat, there are other things to rely on if you did your research. But nonetheless, the reason why I mention this is because because the balabite because the owner is not religious or even sometimes if he is religious but he doesn't necessarily know what really is what happens is he doesn't utilize this to his benefit. So they have a section in the a lot of these restaurants where they have the mazone. They have the prayer and cards or something. But the only thing that you see on those cards is dust. No one uses it. They sit in the corner next to the sugar and the salt and whatever. And like once in a blue moon, somebody takes one. In reality, most people go, they get the schwama, they eat, they leave. No blessing, no nothing. So I thought I was in the business world a little bit and you know you learn a few things and of course you combine business and anyone that wants to have serious success in life must have a blessing. Must have a blessing. Hashem doesn't sign off on you succeeding. You won't succeed. There's nothing you can do about it. So, how do you bring blessing to your life? Easy. You have a kosher restaurant. You make a big poster, permanent poster. Anyone that eats and says after we know for sure you did become a will reduce his bill by a dollar or $2, whatever, depending on the business. If it's, you know, if you sell steaks, then you can reduce it by $2. If you sell strawma, you could sell reduce it by a dollar. What's a dollar? It's nothing. If your business only profit margin is $1, then you should really shouldn't be in the business anyway. But the point being here is you reduce the bill by a dollar to encourage people to do, people will do it. Why? Cuz now they're not thinking about the thinking about the dollar. Instead of paying $10, I'm going pay $9. Why not? And they'll do it. And what ends up happening is that you actually end up bringing the number one blessing in the entire Torah into your restaurant for morning tonight. Your restaurant turns like a restaurant business night. If you use this idea, I think you succeed with all day from morning to night. You have you have the number one blessing inside your restaurant. all day. You have to try it. You have to try it. I mean, it's it's I mean, it's not even it's it's number one blessing morning to night. Missing the biggest opportunity in the world, biggest blessing in the entire Torah. No one's doing it. People are paying thousands and thousands of dollars for for nonsense. They have the best blessing in the world for free. Some people refuse to eat bread just because they don't want to say but then they cry to me say no I don't have enough pasa pasa when was the last time you said he goes oh on Shabbat. Okay you only eat bread on Shabbat. No the rest of the time I eat crackers. Why don't you eat bread? No I eat less than kizite. I eat a extra small piece just to make sure to avoid. I eat pizza. Okay. Listen. You eat pizza you have to do. No. No. This one said it's uh sweet. It's sweet bread. In reality, unless it's made from 100% uh like uh apple juice, you have to do, you know, you have to baton. It's not people are looking for all these different ways to avoid is my point. It's like doing everything you possibly can to avoid winning the lotto. It's the dumbest thing in the world. But that's because of pure ignorance. It's not because people are just doing it on purpose. If we actually know what the Torah says about, we start doing it. So it's actually a very big sin not to make if you ate bread. Uh yeah, of course. Then you're stealing from Hashem and you're stealing from Hashem. Then you have a serious problem. So in this week's para, it talks a lot about the kosher laws uh which is constant Torah proofs of uh how Hashem controls nature. You know, we've talked about these Torah proofs before, which I don't really want to repeat uh unless you guys haven't heard them before. As far as uh when Hashem said that the kosher animals, he gave us 10 different animals uh as examples of kosher animals. And in order for the animal to be kosher, it has to have uh two signs to split hooves and to chew its cud. And then he gives us four. out of all the animals that are out there, there are four animals that are um have only one sign. So he's Hashem is telling us don't be fooled by these four animals because the rest of the animals either have two signs and they're kosher, which there's only about 10 or so, or they have nothing. They have no signs whatsoever. But there are four that have one sign. So don't be fooled by these uh by these four. the pig, the herrings, the rabbit and the camel. So the proof here is that if there was a uh obviously Hashem is controlling the world. So if he wants people to believe in the Torah, then he's only going to put things that he has control over. So which means that if it was a person that wrote the Torah, they wouldn't say, "Listen, there's only four animals with one sign." Because how would they know there's only four animals? There's two million species in the world. Because it means that if someone finds animal number five or animal number six, once they find animal number five that has two signs that has only one sign, you have you have a mistake in a Torah. Once you have one mistake in a Torah, it's no longer divine. Then you don't know if this is the only mistake. Maybe there's another one. Maybe Shabbat is another mistake. Maybe family purity is a mistake. Maybe modesty is a mistake. You don't know anymore. it's no longer reliable when there's one mistake. And this is why anyone that comes to me with these uh things about how they say, "No, there's there's wisdom in the New Testament, there's uh maybe it means this, maybe it means that." I tell him, listen, whatever it says is meaningless. Whether the guy lived, whether he was righteous or not, whether he was or not, whether this happened, whether that happened, all of it is irrelevant. The whole book is meaningless. Why is it meaningless? Because there's a mistake in every single page. Not just one mistake. There's a mistake in every page. Number one, there's a mistake in the what they copy from the Torah. They say that Torah is the first part and New Testament is second part. That's what they claim. Okay. So that means if the first part and second part need to agree. So why do you say that Jacob came to Egypt with 75 people when the Torah clearly says in no less than four places in the five books of Moses that he came with 70? Where's the extra five coming from? This is a serious serious mistake that even a first grader that knows the Torah would not make. It's not one place in the entire Torah. says 70 people it's no less than four places it mentions it so that means you've made the mistake over and over again that's one two the location of where the cave of the habit which you can verify today maybe Jacob you can't verify because we weren't there but the cave of you can verify you could just go there it's still around in New Testament they put it in the wrong address the wrong city the wrong location voice. So it's mistakes like this that are common sense. You know, I'm not even talking about the verses whether this means this or this means that. All of that is irrelevant. This is why sometimes when people debate, they say, "Yeah, but this words means this and this word means that." All of that is irrelevant. The reason why one I think in my opinion the most powerful debate recorded debate between Christian and a Jew is by Rabbi Mizrai. And the reason why is because the even though the Christian was doing the typical things that Christians do in debates, which is trying to prove that the Jews don't know how to speak Hebrew somehow. And somehow the Jews that that's their language, Hebrew. We don't know Hebrew, but they do. The non-Jews know Hebrew, but they don't know Hebrew. You ask him to speak Hebrew, he doesn't know how to speak Hebrew. He just knows like six words that he heard from somebody and he's not really sure 100% how you pronounce them. So, but what are they saying? They're saying that the verses that we're translating the verses in an incorrect way. How do you know? Well, look, it says in English over here that this is what it Okay, but the Torah was not written in English. It was written in Hebrew. How can you rely on this translation? And you know clearly anyone that knows Hebrew even Martin Luther Martin Luther lived a few hundred years ago who killed many many many women claiming that they're all witches. You know, there was a uh witchcraft situation that happened uh across the world and especially where where he was. And um they would just he would just say, "No, this woman, she's a witch." Under what? Proof. No proof. No proof. I did a paper on this. It's the only reason I know this. I did a paper on this 25 years ago almost in a European class, European history class and they asked me to uh write a paper about this. I picked this as a topic this craziness of witchcraft and I found out that he's one of the key figures. This guy Martin Luther was one of the key figures of killing tens and tens of thousands of women under absolutely no reason whatsoever. We just claim she's a witch. Why? We have no idea. All of the proof she's not a uh you know she's not she's black. She's uh you know a certain heritage. Just nonsense. It's not like walking around with like a you know a broom or something throwing uh you know I don't know stars at people or something. I don't know. Or you know cooking people in a soup. You know it's not doing it. She's like a regular person going to buy bread so she could feed our kids. The guy said, "No, no, she's a witch. They kill her. They burn her on the spot." Rasha. Rasha. Rasha. Why do I remember this? Why do I remember out of all the things I ever took in uh high school, why do I remember this class and this Why? Because I failed. The only time I ever failed in high school was on this paper. Why? Why did I fail? Cuz I cursed him out in my paper. Not Martin Luther King that lived years ago, by the way. Right. So anyway, the point is this Martin Luther even he said that there's no perfect way to translate the holy language. Why? Because there's certain words in the holy language you can't translate. And he's like one of their scholars. He's like one of the big guys. He's like the sage. He's like one of the Yeah. He's like a hero. killed millions of people, but he's a hero in in Christianity in essence. So even he said, "You can't translate Hebrew." So the point is that how is the Christian guy going to tell me how to speak Hebrew? So now that's why I think it's a mistake to even battle the verses whether this verse means this, this verse means that. Why? Because number one, when you're battling the verses, unless you're like a genius like Rabbi Singer, and pretty much no one could he knows the New Testament, the Old Testament, and anything in between better than anybody else. He's amazing. Everybody else should not do it. Why? Number one, even battling the verses, you're almost giving him credibility that even that there's even a chance that what they're saying has meaning. Two, you don't need to. Why? The whole book is a mistake. What difference does it make what the New Testament says? What Matthew said and John said and this one said and that one said, who cares what they said? It's a man-made book. There's a mistake in every single page. They put 70 instead of they put 75 instead of 70. They put them out things in wrong locations. They put different 25 different names of lineages uh for for for their JC penny guy. two different lists of 25 people. Who are these 25 people? They say that he's a uh you know he's a lineage of David, but in the beginning of the book he said that he's from God. How could he be from David if God is not is his father? Like the whole thing doesn't make sense. The whole book is garbage. He also said to keep the whole Torah J. He said all the Christians keep Yeah. He says keep it but then he says violate it. The point I'm trying to make here is that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And that's why I thought that Rabbi Misra's debate was amazing because he brought this out. It didn't matter what the verses said. Once there's a mistake in the book, it's even if 99% you couldn't find a mistake. There's one mistake, the rest of the 99% is garbage. rest of 99% the same thing as Harry Potter. It may be entertaining. You may be able to learn something from it, but it's no longer divine. And that's the thing that we fail to understand. Now, why am I using such strong language that may offend some people that are Christian that may be very, very nice people? I have some good friends that are Christian. Um, some of them are wonderful, wonderful people. I'm actually fulfilling the same Torah that they believe in by doing this, by calling him J C Penney, by calling it garbage. As a matter of fact, if I did it even more, it would be even fulfilling a bigger mitzvah. Where do I know this from? This week's para. This week's says something very, very important that actually someone asked me if it's nice to say some of the things that I say. That's how it's actually in there obligation. In this week's para chapter 12, book of Deuteronomy chapter 12 verse three, it talks about idol worship. You shall break apart their altars. You shall smash their pillars. Meaning when is goes into or anywhere that they go, they see these things, they're obligated to fight idol worship because idol worship is the epitome of mocking Hashem. You're replacing everything with nothing. That's what's happening. Hashem is everything. And idol worship is not even Hashem's creation. It's Hashem's creation's creation. It's the lowest form of creation. Even the bug is higher than idol worship. Why? Because it's a direct creation from Hashem. But the idol worship is the create does the creator's creation, his creation. It's the lowest form of anything. It's the garbage of the world. So now, Hashem is telling us, you shall break apart their altars. You shall smash their pillars and their sacred trees, which by the way, anyone that still has Christmas trees in the world, this is one of the sources that shows you're not allowed. Doesn't matter you're Jewish, not Jewish, Christian, Catholic, anything. No one's allowed to have a tree in their house. This is one of many sources. There's no less than half a dozen sources in the Torah. In the book of Jeremiah, in the book of Deuteronomy, in the book of uh Exodus, Leviticus, almost every single book has something about Nala to have these Christmas trees, these supposedable, you know, idol worshiping trees. Sacred trees they call them in the Tawat or Ashel tree. Smash their pillars. Their sacred trees shall burn in the fire. Their carved images shall you cut down, and you shall obliterate their names from that place. Kazal explains to us, Rashi explains to us, what does it mean obliterate their names? What am I? Go to every building and erase the name. Erasing the name. Maybe they don't have the name. Maybe don't have J C Penney on the uh on the church. What does it mean? Blame obliterate their names means make fun of them. It's a mitzvah to make fun of idol worship. Mitzvah commandment, not mitzvah. Like it's nice. You're obligated obligated to make fun of idol worship. If you mention idol worship, you have to make it only say it in a way that's mocking it. Why? Because it's an enemy of Hashem. It's an enemy of Hashem. Now, how do you explain? How do you explain? Sometimes you have, unfortunately, you have rabbis that created these organizations that are making peace between us and the church. The very same church that killed millions of us throughout history and will kill millions of us if they had the opportunity now. They make peace with them. No, we all want the same country. Really? So, how do you explain that? This, my friends, is the outcome. It's the effect from what cause? You know, it's a cause and effect. political correctness. When you become a politically correct person, when you're trying to make peace with everyone, why? Because you don't want to offend anyone. So what ends up happening at the end? You end up offending the only one that matters. Now, I'm going to finish off with a nice that you probably have not heard about this specific issue. Now as you know I like to fight idol worship because number one I have a personal vested interest in the whole king in the whole thing which is the fact that I want to actually have a share of the world to come hopefully because of number two it's a mitzvah so I want to fulfill more mitzvot it's a rare mitzvah not many are doing it and number three many dear people in the world need to hear it so we could save them as a Jew you are obligated ated to be a light to the nations. Cuz I remember once when I was a kid, this neighbor had like a statue of JC and we used to come spit at it and this old lady once came running after us. Is that allowed? Uh, no. You don't need to necessarily act like an animal. No, you don't need to act like an animal. You don't need you don't you don't go spit at other people's property. Uh, you don't you know, we're not the Sanhedrin. I'm not telling anyone to go to churches and start smashing idols over there or burning places up. Let's let's not be foolish. Um but to say it's okay to go to your friend's wedding in a church to uh to uh you know say anything about it is okay to accept it in any way as any form of truth whatsoever. Not okay. So if you can't say it's not okay, don't say anything. Be quiet at the very least. But to say it's okay, not allowed. Not allowed. Not allowed to say that there's any validity whatsoever to their book. Not allowed to say that it's okay for them to believe in it cuz it's not okay. It's 100% idol worship. Um, and the reality of it is that there are a lot of people that are finding out. So my vested interest in doing this is to show them show the ones that are truly looking for Hashem the real answers because even though there are many that are finding the Torah in our generation as the page 4 says at the end of times there will be a lot of gimm a lot of converts a lot of people will be in unusual circumstances where they will find the truth they'll find God and as God said in as in uh two weeks ago's two weeks ago chapter 4. If you look for me, you will find me. If you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul, meaning if you look for God, you'll find him. But if you look for him with all your heart, all your soul. So now I'm finding a lot of people are finding God. It's amazing. But once in a while I encounter an issue where someone found God. They know the Torah is 100% true, but they're at a crossroad. They can't let go of the idol worship that they got used to. They can't let go. Okay, listen. Torah 100% true. No, no questions asked. New Testament has problems, but I need a sign. I need something to show me from the Torah that it's the only truth that the Torah is the only truth in the New Testament. Specifically, the New Testament is fake. I see the mistakes. I see this. I see this. If I need something, I need a sign. How do I know this? For my my she needed something. Everything was great, but she need a sign. She needs something. So, we try to look for different things, try to find different things. We talked about it in a couple of weeks ago how using uh Torah codes, you can see that in the very same verse that Hashem talks about um the false gods, the god of wood and the god of stone. Uh in that very same verse using Torah codes, you can find a name for JC Penney and you could also find uh the name for Mecca, for Islam. So there's actually something in this week's para something in this week's para in this week's para chapter 13 verse two it talks about Hashem is giving or Moses uh through his through his prophecy is giving us a prophet of what's going to happen he's talking about a false prophet in the future false prophet of them. here it says if there should stand up in your midst a prophet or a dreamer of a dream and he will produce to you a sign or a wonder and the sign or the wonder comes about of which he spoke to you meaning you have some prophet or you have somebody that dreams a dream that comes within your myth. Meaning he's one of you. He's one of your Jews. Not some strange guy. Listen, you have a little Asian guy coming from Chinatown. His father's Asian, his mother's Asian is all heritage all the way back to Buddha. They're all Asian. Okay. He comes to you, gives you a prophecy like do me a favor. Go back to your little statue over there. Don't give us any prophecies. You have a Middle Eastern guy coming. Beard can sweep the floor. He's telling you listen this and this is going to happen or he uh walks on water or he makes somebody crippled start standing what have all types of maybe this is like next. So he says when he comes from your midst from inside of you one of you if there should stand up in your midst a prophet or a dreamer of a dreamer a dreamer of a dream and he will produce to you a sign or a wonder and the sign or the wonder comes about actually comes true. He says something's going to happen actually comes true or he does something he tries to make a miracle and it actually happens. or of which he spoke to you saying let us follow gods of others and you did not know that you did not know and we shall worship them meaning now he tells you okay listen you saw that I make miracles you saw that I predicted what's who's going to win the game you don't have to keep Shabbat anymore I'm bigger than a Shabbat like JC said I'm bigger than Shabbat they asked him listen How are you a rabbi? How are you sadik? Your students are breaking Shabbat right now. There's no non bigger than Shabbat. That's what he said in his book. So in essence, he's creating a new religion. It says here it verse four, do not hearken to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of a dream. For Hashem your God is testing you to know whether you love Hashem your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul. And it continues. It says, and then I'll show you the proof because this sounds familiar, but I'll show you the proof of why it is 100% that Hashem your God. No, um, Hashem your God is testing you to know whether you love Hashem your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul. Hashem your God shall you follow. In him shall you fear. His commandments shall you observe. Not somebody else's madeup nonsense. That was my addition. And to his voice shall you hearken. Him shall you serve and him shall you cleave. Meaning you be glued to Hashem. Don't leave him for anything. And that prophet, now we're going back to this Rash, that prophet, that dreamer of a dream shall be put to death, for he had spoken perversion against Hashem your God, who takes you out of the land of Egypt, and who redeems you from the house of slavery, to make you stray from the path of which Hashem your God has commanded you to go. and you shall destroy the evil from your midst. Now this is very interesting. This is very interesting. Sounds a very very familiar story. But just like last week when I told you about we said the god of wood and the god of stone wood you know it's the cross stone you know it's Mecca. How do we know this is specifically talking about JC Penney? dreamer or dream. Yeah, his his mom dreamt a dream, but it's still could be coincidence. Anyone that's looking for a uh anyone that's looking for a thing. So, here's the here's here's the key when it says the four the first four words. If there should stand up in your midst a prophet within you a prophet it's talking about Mary and JC how do we know which is within you has the value of the letters is the same value of the letters of Aisha the woman navi which is the following word prophet same numerical value 63 of Hassan. Which means that it says if there should stand a woman and her son that dreamt a dream, it will produce for you a sign and continues the rest of the form. out of all of the words, if I found another word, let's say if if the word miracle had the same numerical value of her son and then a different word had a numerical value of the woman, then it's just random. It's nice, but it's random. But specifically, the one the two words that follow you somewhere, you can essence write the same verse, but just switching the words. if there would be a woman and her son or a dreamer of a dream. And he continue the rest of the verse. So again, this is not a coincidence cuz these things could happen anywhere. But you see that those specific words, woman, her son, and the last one, it's and Mecca. As a matter of fact, some actually say that the uh prophet that they're referring to is JC. But the Kalom, the one that's a dreamer of a dream, is actually referring to Muhammad from Islam. Does it mention Muhammad in the Torah? Yeah, it mentions it mentions in the uh same place that it talks about uh in the same Torah codes says Mecca. Uh but also there is if you look I looked it up a little bit um if you continue the verse you see that just as Hashem said this false prophet what happens to him he'll be put to death this is exactly what happened according to the history of the the Christians of what happened to J Penney so he was put to death he was didn't say he would just die like Muhammad just died Muhammad got sick one day and died. I I don't know what kind of power kind of powerful prophet just gets sick and died. Never gave a prophecy. Well, never gave any prophecy. The point is they're saying that he's a prophet. He's this, he's that, he's this, but he just died like a dog dies and went in the street. Like why? Like I don't understand. Like how is he somebody such a big deal if he just died? On top of that, a lot of actual Muslims have a problem with him. Why? Because if you look at the history, you'll see that there was actually at some point he almost got killed by his own people for idol worship. What idol worship? It said that there is a uh that God has three daughters and we need to worship them. It's called the story of the cranes. Story of the cranes. And God, he says that God has three daughters and uh we need to worship them. So when the people started going against him, he changed his mind. He said, "No, no, no, no. I just realized it wasn't the angel Gabriel that told me this. It was the Satan. Poor Satan. He blamed him for everything." He blamed him for it. And uh I said, "No, no, don't believe it. It's nothing." So he tried doing something new and it didn't work. The other reason why there's a major problem with Islam is the fact that they also believe in J Penney. No, no, it's in their Quran. They actually have in their Quran, they believe in J. C. Penney. And as a matter of fact, in Mecca, there is a tomb that's empty that they leave waiting for J. C. Penney to come. M there's the tomb where they say the Muhammad is and I don't know some some other major uh person in their religion and then there's one it's an empty grave that's specifically meant for JC Penney to come. It says in the Quran that his mother Miriam and Mosher's sister were the same Miriam. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There. So, so the point is that there Yeah. The Quran mentions JC Penney. So obviously there's there's a problem with the Quran also and aside from the fact that there's 9,000 versions of it and there's a mistaken all over it. The point being is is here is that there's nothing else but Torah and anyone that looks deeply enough will see that there is nothing else but Torah. We are not obligated to go fight Auaz to the same extent that we were obligated to in in in previous generations when we had the son. You see an idol worshipper, you kill him on the spot, you stone him. We don't have the ability to stone anyone. Uh but we do have the obligation to number one be a light to the nations. We do have an obligation to help whoever is willing to accept help. But one major thing for sure is that we cannot under any condition whatsoever continue to be politically correct and inhale this poison and wipe it all over our perfect amazing Torah and say that it's okay to be this and it's okay to be that. Everybody's friends, everybody's that. No, I'm not saying we have to go to war with the world even though it's going to happen and happening anyway. What I am saying is that we have to keep true to Hashem. So, it's not it's a I understand that this is not exactly a uh sounds uh it's not about peace or war or anything like that. The key is that we have to understand is that we have one God. There's no two gods. There's no three gods. There's no two religions or three religions or four religions. There's only one Torah. Jews are Jews and then there's the rest of the world. Rest of the world has a choice. They could either be Noahides, righteous Noahides, which means they comply by the Tawa just as a non-Jew, or they can become Jews. That's it. There's no option to be a righteous Christian or a righteous, you know, uh, Muslim. They may be nice people and I know many of them that are wonderful, wonderful people. Wonderful people, but my point of mentioning these things is to help those wonderful people to show them that they're going about it the wrong way. If they really believe in God, they have to wake up and see and check for themsel that there's a problem with their books. They already said that our book is true because if you're Christian, you believe that the Torah is is the Old Testament, meaning it's true. If you're Muslim, you believe that the Torah is again the Torah. And then the Quran is number two, they're saying. So either way, no one is saying that the Torah is not true. All I'm saying here is that let's look at two things. Let's compare the facts between the book that we all agree is true, which is the Torah, versus what the new so-called books are saying. And you will see countless contradictions and mistakes which put you in a situation where there's not possible for both of them to be true. It's not possible for the Torah and the Quran to be true. It's not possible for the Torah and the New Testament to be true. It's not possible. I remember a very good debate by Rabbi Singer Sadik that he is he's such an impressive impressive person and he said that there's something called a postulate. There's something called a postulate meaning that a there's something that everyone agrees on where it cannot be anything other cannot be contradicted. meaning everyone agrees. Everyone agrees, meaning whether you're Christian or you're Jewish, that the Torah can be true and the New Testament can be false. Everyone agrees that that's possible. Everyone also agrees that it's not possible for the Torah to be false and the New Testament to be real. That's not possible. Why? Because the New Testament relies on the Old Testament, aka Torah. Meaning that the Torah has to be true in order for the New Testament to be true. But the Tora, if the Torah is fake, that means that the New Testament is also fake. Meaning there's nothing true then. But it is possible that just the Torah is real. That is possible. So everyone agrees to that. What I'm saying is that it is not possible. I'm adding one point to Rabbi Singer with Kola Kav. I think that he knows it also, but I think he's much more politically uh uh correct than I am, but he also is telling he's doing it the right way. He's not I'm not calling him out in any way, shape, or formal. He is he knows how to do it. He's helping thousands and thousands of uh of of Jews and non-Jews get to Hashem in an amazing way that I could only imagine uh doing one day. But one thing I would say as far as my own opinion based on what I've learned is that it's actually not possible for the Torah to be true and the New Testament to be true. That's not a possibility once you look at the facts. It's not a possibility. Meaning there is only two possibilities. Here we said there's three possibilities. Torah true, New Testament true. Torah true, New Testament false. Everything false. That's the three possibilities. I say there's only two. Either the Torah true, New Testament's fake or everything's fake. And the reason why is because it cannot be that both of them are true and they contradict each other. It's not possible. meaning it's either they're both fake or only one is true, meaning the Torah. So that's the that's the new on that end. And I think that when you look at the literal Torah and what it specifically says, you look at the mistakes in the New Testament, you look at the Torah codes, you look at the gimatria, you look at the sages, you look at the you look at endless amount of wisdom, you look at the questions that the Ramban had, maybe 800 questions that until this day, no one's has been able to answer about Christianity and their falsehood. I think that you'll find yourself in an impossible situation preserving anything remotely close to the New Testament and anything that's against the Torah. And again, not every non-Jew is obligated to become Jewish. But if we're going to be a light to the nations at the end of times that we're finding ourselves in, it's time for us to face facts and start telling people that the only option is Torah. Meaning that you either observe the Torah as a Jew or you observe the Torah as a non-Jew. There is no other option. And I'm sure there's going to be some wars on this and I'm sure there's going to be some fighting and and and all types of things. And uh but the reality of it is that there are too many people looking for the truth for us to keep tiptoeing around it hoping they find it on their own. This is how they find it. If they're watching this right now, that means they've been watching a for over two hours. That means they're looking for the truth. It's our job to show. Any questions? I know. As soon as I turn off the camera, there's uh questions you spoke about earlier. Yeah. About the miracles. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ready to hear it? So, actually, you know what? This actually will remind me of something else that I want to do also. A uh a lot of people saw the clip and you know that we made recently about how anyone that wants miracles all they have to do is obviously do chuva you don't just get if you're not going to get any uh special treatment from Hashem at least um not on a permanent basis. Um but as it says in the book of Jeremiah 15 verse 19, therefore thus said Hashem, if you repent, I will bring you back and let you stand before me. Meaning if you do chuva, Hashem will always accept you. But if you bring forth an honorable person from a glutton, then you will be like my own mouth. Meaning that if you help somebody else do chuva, you'll be like my own mouth. Kazal as we've mentioned in previous lectures says that Hashem specifically is telling us that just like Hashem said I created the heaven and the earth by my words I was able to change nature and I am nature you'll be able to do the same meaning your prayers your requests have VIP treatment when you help people do chuva you'll be able to change nature with your words you'll be able to perform for miracles by how helping somebody else do cha but not if you just do it once in your life it's a big reward for it but specifically mentioning here that uh someone is doing it actively so in his a whole lecture that I did about kiru how there's countless sources of how there's a huge merit in doing it helping people do chuva helping people get to Hashem uh there is a um countless sources of reward, countless sources of miracles. This is just one off the top of my head that I remembered. But people ask me, you know, okay, it's nice. Prove it. One story, two story. Okay, it's nice. You one verse. It's nice. God said this, God said that. It's nice. Time to prove it. So, we've showed a lot of we've mentioned some stories in the past, but I'd like to give you guys a nice update on what Kir does. This is two stories for you. Two stories happening right now. Happening right now. So, it's live. You're getting it live. First time I'm publicizing both stories. Anyone that watched my lectures in New York I did about the Holocaust. where was God during the Holocaust or the lecture I did with the Kazak event and Torah anytime. Um and another lecture I did uh elections are coming um how do we avoid the next holocaust or something like that I think it called. And I think in all three of them, at least in two of them, I mention a story about specific person that helps me name Emanuel. Emmanuelik that he is was not born Jewish and in my opinion one of the most righteous people that I know as complete. He's discovered the truth. He came from complete opposite end discovered the truth. Looked for Hashem and found him. Found him in Judaism, found him in a Torah. He learns non-stop. He changed his job just so he could keep Shabbat process of converting. But as I mentioned in the story that he's in the middle of Bulgaria where he is, there's no Jews. Forget about there's no Judaism. There's just no Jews. Nothing. He left his regular job and became a shepherd. Why? So he could learn to and keep Shabbat. I have to beg Jews sometimes to keep Shabbat and not work seven days a week in their, you know, restaurant. This guy left the job so he become a shepherd just so he could keep Shabbat. And he's hoping that one day he could actually sell. This is the level of this person has. So he helps me a lot him and also vimesh. Vimesh is sadik from India. Surrounded by idol worship is a perfect diamond is vimesh. So I told a story about Emmanuel and how he helps me does kiru. post things on on on the internet for us, the videos and you know the Bzat Hashem uh web page on on um on Facebook and he helps us with doing Kiru and I mentioned his story and then a few weeks ago he went forth and he had a surgery for blit had a circumcision. Now, when you're eight days old and you have, it's not usually such a big deal. If you're a healthy little boy, you don't remember it when you're 20 years old. But when you're in your you're a grown man in your 20s, you have a mah, it's a little bit of a different story. You're never going to forget it. Not that you're not going to remember, you're never going to forget it. Had that was a grown man. So somebody having to believe me, it's big deal. Shows that can't be a fake convert. You could be a fake. It's much easier to be a fake convert as a woman than it is to be a man because, you know, she doesn't really have to do anything. She just answer some questions and she could jump in a mikvet and the next day walk around half naked. If if the rabbi that's helping the woman convert is not verifying everything, making sure that she's 100% kosher, could be a very very big problem. And a lot of problems have happened. But somebody doesn't a guy doing a circumcision, I don't think there's a chance in the world that guy's going to be a fake convert. And you have to be very careful with with with converts. I love converts personally. I think that uh Hashem specifically mentions them in a Torah more than anything else, more than any mitra for a reason. Uh not only because they're very special people when they're righteous, but also because at the end of times that we're finding ourselves in there's going to be many, many, many millions of them. As you guys know, I mentioned last week's uh shu and I posted it. There's about 25 million of them. and being uh you know in Africa in uh um with one king that just converted. There's another uh rabbi from Africa from Igbo also has 25 million and they're all lost tribes and there's another uh maybe uh 16 15 16 million in Afghanistan. So it's not converse. These are all Jews, but unfortunately that they they've been lost. So, they probably all have to do a formal conversion or conversion for safik. But there's a lot more Jews than 15 million in the world. I can tell you that for sure. So, anyone that's a uh anyone that thinks that they're very special. No, Hashem is going to loves all of us. He's going to save us. He only has 15 million Jews. He's he's not going to punish all of us. It's all nonsense. There's a lot of converts and there's actually a lot of Jews in the world that we didn't know existed until we're finding them right now. So anyway, this special guy, Emanuel, goes to a circumcision, still doesn't have a rabbi, still doesn't have nothing. He's doing it because he knows it's the right thing to do. It's just one part of the step. There's no promise of anything. Later that day, I I get posts on the internet. I see from Emanuel. So I text I'm like what? The surgery didn't happen. And he says to me, "No, no, it happened. I had the surgery this morning." So I'm like, "Aren't you in pain?" He goes, "Yeah, yeah, I'm in pain." So I said, "So why don't you go rest?" So he tells me, "Where are the Jews going to get their Torah if I'm sleeping?" So on a day of his circumcision, he's still doing kiru. And yet my own brothers and sisters have to beg them to give out a CD for a dollar. Guy is not even obligated doing ku on a day of circumcision. So that was the story that I said in the lectures. Moved a lot of people. What does it have to do with miracles? Right? That's the part that Amos has been waiting for this whole time. 2 hours plus he's waiting for the story. Okay. So, a lot of people were moved by this story. And as Hashem would have it in his perfect self that he is, he made sure that at least a few of those people that were moved by the story were watching this lecture in Bulgaria, in a very small Jewish community in Bulgaria, 3 hours away from where Emanuel is. with Sadik Rabbi Yoel who hears about this and contacts me less than a week ago, four, five days, a week ago, let's say, call it a week ago, contacts me and he says, "Some of the people in my ka watch your lecture and they mention you said something about Sadik from Bulgaria. We'd like to help him convert whatever needs to happen. So I oh we like to help him. So I said yeah you know the what we need is uh you know he's learning Torah he's got he's helping us with k only problem is we don't have we don't have any rabbis to convert him anywhere near where he is and uh can you help? So the rabbi responds to me and he says, "Yes, I actually have a conversion program. Takes about a year or two, a year, but if he knows as much as you say, it could take even less." Well, that wasn't enough. That's not enough. When Hashem gives it to you, he says, "Salvation of Hashem is faster than the blink of an eye." But the salvation of Hashem is not like a human being. It's not a lot ticket. salvation of Hashem when he gives it to you, he gives you the whole bank. So this is just the beginning. So I tell this to Emmanuel. Emanuel cries pretty much I start crying. My wife starts crying. Everyone's crying. Vime is crying. This is just what are the chances. Think about this. What are the chances of mentioning the story in this story? Okay, so let's say it's a good story. I tell the story. What are the chances of somebody in Bulgaria actually watching this shure? out of all the sheers there are in the world. On top of it, what are the chances of them watching that specific stewer of mine that mentions that story? And last but not least, them actually caring a billion. The chances are infinite. It's infinite. It's it's just it's not it's not humanly possible. any one of those things and on top of it actually caring and last but not least actually being able to help even if they care. A lot of people care. They care about dogs. They care about cats. They care about some little guy that's walking around half naked for the last 30 years I've been in America as the same little kid in Africa with a fly on his head. They care about him, too. And they give money to the Red Cross. Even though 99 cents out of every dollar goes to their CEO and the rest of his friends, not the little kid that's already grown up with a fly on his head. They care about a lot of things, but most people can't do anything about it. So, think about Hashem, how amazing and perfect Hashem is. The one guy can help, tells another guy. He watches. Rabbi ends up being a sadik, wants to help. I tell this to Emanuel. Emanuel says, "I hope they have patience for me because all the money that I had, I spent it on the circumcision." As he's finishing sending me this message, he gets a call or a message, think a call. And he sends me the message. He goes, "Something very unusual is happening, Rabbi. He says, "A Mr. Cohen from the Ka called me and he said that not only do they want to help me, but they're going to pay for everything for me. They're going to pay for me to come there. They're going to give me talit sidurit. Everything is paid for and they're going to help me move there." He's finishing the sentence. He's saying, "I don't have any money. I don't have any money to pay. I hope they have patience for me." As he finishes the sentence, he gets the call from one of the people. Apparently, the person that watched the sh says, "You have nothing to worry about. Hashem is watching." You see now why we mentioned why Hashem gets so upset when someone is idol worshiping. You leave the endless ocean and you go to a little hole in the middle of the desert. That's what Hashem said about idol worshippers. That's what he says about people that are not religious and connected to him on a regular basis and want to stay secular because they want to have fun. Do you understand why it's so offensive to go against Hashem? Whether it's idol worship or it's secular mentality or it's modernizing something that's not you're not even allowed to touch. He's everything. He's watching in the middle of a place that has no Jews. He created a ka just for somebody that wanted to seek the truth. any proof that I've been teaching for the last couple of years I've been teaching I think this is better than all of them but it's not it it's one kiru story you could say ah it's a coincidence I have another guy helping me Daniel have been my student for a little while is trying to help us. He's been he joined team Hashem and um he's got a he's trying to build his life. He's trying to get get stuff together. He's definitely lives in a difficult situation. He's in America. He's in America. He's in New York. And uh he does ku post our things on the internet. Hashem helped our numbers go through the roof. We're reaching tens of thousands of people every single week just through his posts. Aside from all the other things we do, 75 80,000 people each week just through his post. Another 70,000 here, another 100,000 there. I mean, it's amazing. Hundreds of thousands of of things going throughout the entire world spreading the purity of Torah in its purest form to people. At least the way I know it, the way it says it. And he's a soldier. Non-stop. Non-stop posting. Non-stop posting. Only one that I know does more more than anybody else is Vimesh. Vimesh. I can't wait to see the miracles that going to happen to him when he's in the final stage. I think honestly Hashem's going to split the ocean for him. No one no one does more cube than Vimesh. By the way, I wish I could do as much as much as Vime. What a sadik. But anyway, you have Daniel. Daniel is in a tough situation. He says, "I got to get out of this situation, but he's older now. He's not, you know, he's not 12 or 15. I wish I can go to yeshiva. What do you think? What should I do? Maybe I should go to yeshiva, but 20some years old. What yes? There's no yeshiva." And you want to go to co, you know, which is yeshiva for adult. You already have to be in the game. They're not going to teach you basic uh you know hum and and so on. Ka means you're already they're going to pay you. They're going to you know you're going to learn and you know it's not you're not living a uh living life or anything with a fancy car and a house. But point is it's like it's a job but it's for somebody that's already in it. He says, "I want to maybe maybe it's time for me to get out of this where I'm at. Go to yeshiva. My yeshiva my creator yeshiva I'm not less than 24 hours change." Yes, I think it's actually even less than 24 hours. Half a day. Maybe half a day later. Maybe even less actually. Think about it now. I don't know. A lot of things happen. I get a uh message from him. I have no idea what's going on. He tells me they just announced in a place right next to 15 minutes from my house that starting next week they're opening a yeshiva for beginners. Like all are welcome. I tell them this is good. tell uh you know tell call this rabbi da da da make the contacts he's being connected even to another yeshiva that's in my long story short is going to be in yeshiva in the next couple of days from impossible to hashem signs the check and you already know it cleared When you look for Hashem, you'll find them. When you look for excuses, you also find them. Only difference is when you look for Hashem, you have the ultimate reward. You have miracles. You have extraordinary things happening in your life on a day-to-day basis. And I tell people that this is a very very simple thing to do if you want miracles. One, do chuva. Do chuva. Keep Shabbat, keep kosher, be modest, which is family purity. A woman must be must be modest. A man also must be modest. Start watching your words. You know, do the basics of of of Judaism. That's step number one. Number two, every day, same time, spend a few minutes thanking Hashem. Don't ask for anything. Stop asking. Thank Hashem. Thank Hashem. I do it every day, but I try 12:30 in the afternoon, sometimes later, but I try to put an alarm on my phone. This thing won't stop ringing until I start. Says time to thank Hashem. Thank Hashem. Stop asking for things all day. Okay, he knows what you want. Start ask thanking him. Step number three, don't miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime to ask for everything by using the kesh of every single day at the very least once a day. You must put yourself in a c situation where you say at least once a day. If you actually know how significant it is, you eat bread all day just to do. You want to go to work, you want to go to work, just doan all day and tell people about this. That's step number three. Step number four, every day before you go to sleep, after you pray, after you took every talk to Hashem, five minutes, tell him what's on your mind. Hashem, I need help with He knows, but you still tell him, "Hashem, I need zeug. Hashem, I need I'm not I don't remember everything I just learned. Help me with my help me with my help. Help me with my husband. Help me with my children. Help me with my uh whatever. Help. Talk to Hashem. Tell him what's on your mind. You already thanked him. Now it's time to ask cuz you're going to go meet him in a few minutes. You go to sleep and the shama comes out. So already have the message. Last but definitely not least the key to make it all come together and make miracles. Minimum of 5 minutes a day. Obviously much more if you can. must be involved in Kiru. Must be involved in Kiru. Post things on the internet, arrange lectures, make videos, give out CDs, sponsor CDs, do something every day. What's a Shabbat? Obviously, you start doing it on Shabbat. Friday, you do it before Shabbat. The rest of the week, you do whatever. every day be involved in Kir. If you make Hashem's children into your personal responsibility on a daily basis, Hashem will make you and anyone you love also his personal responsibility with special attention on a daily basis. Any other questions? Questions? You still in the shock of a ask questions. Great. Ask questions. Go ask. Ask. It's yours probably 3 hours by now. So, it's good. Keep everyone here till 2. Anybody wants to leave though? You leave. It's up to you. You have questions you can ask. I was waiting for you to ask first. You said in the beginning you had questions. You guys are getting a competition. No, he had a question. I said he wanted to ask a question. All right. So, I I question. No. Um, so it says when the baby is in the womb, right? Yes. Learns all the Torah, right? Yes. and then uh whatever taps you and then you forget it. That's only for Jews or it's for uh it's for everyone. Do you are you asking me if non-Jews are learn the Torah while in the womb? Yeah, I never heard that they do, but I doubt that they come out completely empty-handed, you know. So, they do get something. It's probably not uh so they get they get I don't know. I don't know. Don't quote me on this. I only learned um that the uh Jews learned the entire Torah in the womb. But as far as the uh non-Jews, I assume that they do get something. I just haven't learned it because number one, they're also Hashem's creation. Number two, many of them, especially in our generation, have an unusual interest in Torah, which they would not have if they weren't connected to it in some way or another. Um, so I believe that there is something. I just don't know what it is. The red line actually just spoke about this. He said there was one kid in Israel who the Malik didn't pinch him and he didn't forget. Yes, there is. Yeah. And anything you tell him he's a little kid, he knows all the everything less than 20 years ago. Less. Yeah. So they said actually it's a good thing that we forgot the Torah. And even if you learn now, you'll still forget it. Next year you're going to learn. You'll always find something new. So they say it's actually a good thing to forget. Yeah. Forgetting the forgetting the uh there's good and bad. But as far as that kid, that boy, it was less than 20 years ago, he didn't forget his Torah. And by the time he was 3 years old, he uh knew everything already. He was teaching. And then the big rabbis came, a couple of cababalists came and they made him forget it. Why did he do that? He could have been like the perfect gulad who knew everything. Torah is not about knowing everything. And Torah is about to work for Torah. Knowing everything could more is more likely to make him not want to learn Torah. Why are you saying you forget to uh to show us that with Torah says it's real. That's at least one reason for it. It's a proof. People like proofs. Is it on YouTube this game? No, not that I know of. Not that I know of. I heard the I heard the story originally from He knew it. He knew he knew the story firsthand. His kava was the kid with the kid. The little kid is the kid or the kid's relative. Something like that. Like he was personally connected to the story. Next. I have a question. Good. But I don't know how relevant it is. There's no relevance. Now it's questions and answers. Um I kind of cleared out all of my confusion when it comes to Christianity. Mhm. But very I'm still I don't understand the whole concept of Messiah because I feel what I've been taught. I was raised as a seventh day Adventist, right? So we looked at now we cuz I'm not anymore but I looked at every other Christian as being crazy and we were the only smart ones, right? because we understood how you know esquetology better than they did. So the idea that Messiah in like Messianic circles is going to be to come and be in Israel and what I'm learning about how what Judaism says the Messiah is going to do. Mhm. It seems so similar is confusing to me. No, the thing is though is that the uh in Christianity they say that Mashiach already came and he's going to come back. In Judaism it says he's only coming once and two there's actually two of them. There's two Msiahs. There's Mashiach Ben Ysef and Mashiah Ben Davidid. There's not one. Uh there is a prophecy that Mashiah Ben Ysef dies in the war. Uh but we can pray for that prophecy not to come true. meaning that Mashiah Ben Yosef will live and Mashiah Ben Davidid will live. Mashia Ben Yosef will be much more active in the war uh than Mashiah Ben Davidid which is the reason why he's in more uh Mashiach Ben Davidid is going to be miracle worker where he's uh he's going to have uh miraculous ability to smell the sins of people, destroy them with his words. He's going to be able to do things that are not natural to us humans. Uh but he's going to be a human being. He never died before. Regular person the just Hashem put instills power in at that point. He does not know he's the Mashiach until he becomes the Messiah. But he doesn't grow up thinking, "Oh, I'm holy." Um anything. As a matter of fact, he's a bal chuva. He's someone that wasn't religious from birth. He did chuva at some point. um that he never made sin. He uh I don't know where it's written about him never making a sin after he makes cha. I don't know where it says that he never made a sin after he made cha. I don't I don't I don't remember that but uh I know I heard it from the boy but I know I don't remember reading it in the book. Um but also the end of times has uh certain events that play out which one of them being that there's a world war where uh originally it starts between Edom uh and Ishmael meaning the Christians and the Muslims go to war with each other becomes a world war and they stop and they gang up together and all go against Israel. And then it becomes the war of go which according to what we know today it already started it's just quiet. Uh then there's the world war which uh at some point one of the prophecies is that the uh Ishmael which is the Muslims take over Israel for nine months. The whole world. Uh yeah, some say the whole world, some say just Israel. Uh but nonetheless, they take over. Um it's going to be a very very difficult time. Twothirds of the world dies. The Muslims are going to take over as well. Yes. Uh it's the it's again it's one of the prophecies. Not all of them have to come true. But uh twothirds of the world dies. That is a reality. Um and that's uh in the beginning and according to Arisal the twothirds of the world dying is in 8 minutes. Now when he wrote it it wasn't possible for something like that to happen. Now we know it is possible because we have atomic weapons and biological weapons and so on. Um after this war then there is a uh the Msiah comes. Um so he's a man. Yeah. He's not a robot person. He's not going to be flying down cuz that's like where the confusion comes. Oh, will he be flying in? No. I mean I I don't know exactly uh how he's going to come. I mean he's not like a homeless guy or something like that. I mean, he's he's he's a regular person. He's not coming from outer space. No, he's not a UFO. He's living here. He's not a He's living come on a on a donkey or Yeah, it's one of the prophets is coming on a donkey, but I don't think it's necessarily like a donkey that's like uh you know that he bought in uh in Natanya, you know, neighborhood of Sella with all the all the uh gangsters. Like it's a first of all if they if it is the donkey it's the same donkey that was created Benmash which is one of the 10 creations that Hashem made between uh dawn and uh between um sunset uh dawn and sunset. Yeah sunset on the sixth day of creation there was a donkey that uh Araminu rode on. It's a special donkey. If it that's the donkey then yes. But again, I don't think it's anything like we visualize like some guy uh riding on a donkey saying, "Hey guys, hey, how are you? Read your Gumar. I'm the Messiah." No, it's not that. For it's going to be a lot of miraculous events before he even comes. Before he even comes, the Eli Yahawah, the Elijah, the prophet, Ela Navi, is going to announce it to the world. 3 days before he comes, that's in the book of Zechariah. uh 3 days before he comes, three days before the Messiah is disclosed to the world, Elijah the prophet comes and tells us that he's coming. Uh this will be one of the proofs. This is a reincarnated Elijah the prophet he never died. Elijah the prophet became an angel. He never died. He was he was one of the few people that just never Hashem decided not to kill him and uh he lived for hundreds and I think a few hundred years and then uh eventually Hashem uh made him into an angel. So he'll be coming down I guess I guess. So yeah um and uh Elijah the prophet um is going to announce that he's coming. Then 3 days later, the Messiah will be announced with a chauff. It's going to be a horn, which is going to be one of the uh not just any horn. It's going to be a horn that um was one of the two horns of the um ram that uh was slaughtered at the uh when Aam was uh supposed to uh kill his son as a koban as a sacrifice and when Hashem uh showed his mercy and told him no I don't mean that I mean you know sacrifice the ram. So they sacrificed the ram. So they used every part of the ram's body uh for the koban for this. They made a one chauffar from one of the horns and the second chauffar is hidden somewhere uh and it's going to be used at the time to announce the Msiah. Um so that will be uh used and that chauffar will be heard around the world. Meaning there's not going to be any corner in the world that will not hear this chauffar. Meaning in the book of Jeremiah, I believe it's chapter 19, um, Hashem is saying that uh, at the time of uh, at the time of Messiah, they're no longer going to call him the God of the God of Israel that took them out of Egypt, but rather the God of Israel that took them out of the land of the north and the rest of the world. Um, which land of the world we know is a uh land of the north we know is North America. It's the only thing that's called north. North North America, South America, it's a continent. Um, and the rest of the world is because we have a uh Jews all over the world. But specifically, North America is very very interesting that it mentions it in the verse uh because it's where the most Jews in the world are located other than Israel, Canada and America. So yes, this is uh Jeremiah sorry chapter 16 16 verse 14 and 15. However, behold, days are coming the word of Hashem, when it will no longer be said, as Hashem lives, who took out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, but rather as Hashem lives, who took out the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had scattered them. And I shall return them to their land which I gave to their forefathers." And it continues giving some other prophecies about it. So, we're going to have a uh enormous amount of miracles at the time of Mashiach that are bigger than what we saw in Egypt is my point. Meaning, the reason why it's going to be recognized that Hashem is the God of Israel that took him out of the land of the north. by this new event will be the newly recognized event and not the same event that we've been mentioning in the entire Torah which is the god of that took us out of Egypt took us out of Egypt. We mentioned it in our prayer you know uh several times a day that he took us out of Egypt. were constantly uh uh commanded even in this week's para at the end of the para it mentiones it no less than three times that remember God that took you out of Egypt don't forget God took you out of Egypt God took you out of Egypt okay we got it we got it got it he took us out of Egypt we got the first time the second time the 80th time I got it here he's saying no he's not the God that took you out of Egypt he's the God that took you out of north north the land of the north and all nations. Why? Because what's going to happen at the time of Msiah is going to be bigger than Egypt, bigger miracles. Meaning there's not going to be any doubt that this is the Messiah. This is what's happening. This is the end. This is it. And this is one of the things that Christianity failed to understand where they thought that the Mashiach can just come and be like an average guy maybe make whether he made the miracles or not is irrelevant. He could have done it through wizardry. He could have done it through a million other different ways. Anyway, anything that it's written about what the guy did is not really a big deal in Judaism because all of the sages that are mentioned in the every single sage that's mentioned by name in the was mentioned by name because they qualified. Qualified for what? If their name is mentioned in they qualified where they had the holiness and ability to bring back the dead. Meaning there are plenty of sages in that are not mentioned by name. It just says someone saida whatever he said. Okay. But he said something very important. This person that said this it's obviously holy. It's obviously righteous. Is obviously amazing. Why don't you mention him by name? Goes. No. No. He doesn't qualify. Doesn't qualify. Why? He wasn't able to bring back the dead. So whether the miracles happened that JC did or didn't do, it doesn't really make a difference. What he did was not really a big deal. But that's one of the things that the Christians fail to understand. The second thing they fail to understand is that they think that the Msiah is going to be like a normal event. Like some people can doubt it. It will not be a doubtable event. Meaning that when Hashem made sure that we gave us the Torah, no one in history has ever doubted Mount Sai. Even the biggest anti-semmites in history like Haman or the, you know, Hitler, no one doubted Mount Sai unless they were atheists and they just don't believe in anything. They believe, I don't know, we're all monkeys or something. Anyone that believed in, you know, the Torah knew or any religion really for that matter, even the Chinese, they knew Mount Si happened. Why? Because Hashem made enough miracles where everyone knew. When Hashem wants to make himself noticed, he makes sure everyone knows. Now, if if he made sure that he going to know the biggest event in history, the giving of the Torah, why would he make a bigger event, the end of the world, the culmination of the world, the ultimate purpose being achieved, the end, discreet, like you know, you watch a program, it's a crazy movie, and all of a sudden just shuts off. What? There's like no like nobody beats up somebody else. There's like no fight. There's nothing happens. It just shuts off in the middle. I think that's how the uh that uh some show that went on for many many years. Uh like the last show that they had after like I don't know like 15 years of having this show, they just had a regular episode in the middle of the episode just shut off. Like that was the end of this 15-year series. Obviously, a lot of people were very very disappointed. It was a very stupid ending. But this is human beings being stupid. Hashem is perfect. If he made sure that the ultimate event, everyone knows. The goim know, the Jews know, the believers know, the non-believers know. No one is doubting Mount Si because Hashem made sure that that's provable, knowable, no questions asked. Mashiach he's saying specifically it's going to be bigger. It's gonna be a bigger event. So to say that he already came but we missed him or that he came but like pretty much 90% of the world at the time didn't believe it. It doesn't make any sense and that's it's so it goes against the Torah. So uh last but not least also every single prophecy must come true. The uh when it talks about the sheep and the leopard being together and and in peace in the world and there's no war. I mean none of these prophecies came true. None of them. There's still war. There's still disease. There's still hatred. There's still anti-semitism. If anything, it's worse than ever. So when a Msiah comes, the Rambam says we're only going to know exactly what's going to happen once it happens. Everything else is just possibilities based on our Torah. Our Torah gives us all of the possibilities. Um, we know all of the possibilities. And what we do know for sure is the reason why it's obvious that it never happened is because none of these possibilities ever happened. It's not like you could say, listen, you know, there was 100 possibilities, three happened. So maybe it happened. None. Nothing happened. As a matter of fact, we didn't have any of the signs. Out of all the signs we have for the end of times, we didn't have any of the signs at all 50 years ago. None. And then only now we have sign after sign after sign after sign to the point where right now as we speak practically every single one of the signs has come true except one which is the Mashiach himself. So the uh the biggest thing about Mashiach that I think that is the most helpful for anyone is that we have all the signs. It's happening as we speak. But it also means that we're running out of time. Um because once he comes that's it. No more chuva, no more conversion. Wherever you are, you are uh unless you know again there's some people they're going to be in a process of conversion which of course if they're righteous of course it's going to be uh something that's taken into account. If someone is already starting serious true love but have not completed it. Things like that will be taken into account. But that's going to be one of the things where it says that the uh the Benonim, the people that are in the middle will have to choose a side. You know, some people want to play both fields, both sides. You know, they're like half religious. They're religious, but not always. They're this, they're that. So, the people that are in the middle, that are truly in the middle, that actually have sham and are like serious, but like sometimes they fall. They have to pick a side. And uh there's going to be a war against the Mashiach. That's the biggest thing. That's also another one the biggest proof that we know it didn't happen because the first thing that happens after Mashiach comes is that everyone goes to war with him and he wins. He doesn't die, you know. So, um what does that what does that mean? He wins. No. What does that mean? They go to war with him. They try to kill him. Who's there? the north and the rest of the world. Everyone, including the Jews, that are wicked, there not not all Jews. The of the is a group of Jews that we've had a problem with since Mount Si. Uh, and they're wicked Jews that are anti- Torah or even some of them pretend to be rabbis, but they're really anti-TRA. They're just wicked, wicked people. And they're going to go to war with him. Go to war with Mashiach. Try to kill him. Who's going to be on his side helping him fight this war? God. That's it. No, he won't. He won't need He won't need weapons. He won't need There's no It's not like a natural war where they'll use They'll use weapons. They'll use atomic bombs. They'll use tanks. They'll use whatever they can. At that point, we'll we'll see miracles and Oh, already. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's not going to be like a uh a natural war where like he's shooting and then he's ducking and he's shooting and he's ducking. Oh, I got him. Yes. No, it's not going to be it's not like when we were little kids play with our brothers. No, it's if he says a word could destroy civilization, you know. Um the most uh mystical war, there's two major wars there a few but two that I know a little bit about that are very very mystical, very unnatural that have happened in the Torah. One of them um was actually when we uh the nation of Israel went against Amalecch. In the book it seems like it's a traditional war like Amalec attacked us from behind beat up some old people and you know weaklings but in reality it was a completely supernatural uh war that they say that all of the wars of all of the all of the world that it will ever happen will not be like that war. That's how big that war was to the point where Moses had to keep the sun in the sky in order for AmI to win. Scientists<03:18:34.080
