first I'd like to uh thank RAB zon and for arranging the we had this whole tour of this last week every night a different a different location a lot of a lot of interesting things that am needs to find out because apparently we're in a generation we're on one end we're in mashia we're at the end of days and you don't necessarily need to be too brilliant to realize that we're at the end of days if you just look at the world around you you watch the news for 5 minutes you realize that the world is not the same anymore if you want to watch the uh political world you notice that in the um page 49 it gives you a list of things that are going to happen at the end of times things that are going to happen right before the mashia shows up I did a sh about this on Sunday in Stan Island in all Tora and it's aash we went over each one of the items on the list and when you read it it's like reading the newspaper like reading the newspaper everything that said is going to happen it's happening one of them is that the leaders of the world the political leaders of the world are going to go against the nation now generally this is against logic because the politicians are people that they don't just get their job just because we have to vote for them so if we vote for them then technically they should serve us they should do things for our own interest not for their interest but as generation after generation the corruption continues gets worse and worse the only difference between today and if you just say let's say three or 400 years ago is that today they do it with a smile today they tell you that they're you're your friend please vote for me vote for a change and the next thing they know they're doing everything in their power to destroy your life one of the recent laws that was passed that's slowly but surely if Hashem lets it happen is going to destroy civilization and bring us back to Sodom and Gomorrah stage is that they passed the law in the United States that now you have to allow children in public schools to go to the bathroom that they feel most comfortable so if the boy feels comfortable in the girl's bathroom that's what's what's the problem no one actually thought that rape is going to increase as a result of this I guess it's a you have to actually have an IQ of above five to know that this is going to increase crime this is why several States I think it's eight different states actually have an IQ above five and they realize this is going to happen so they're suing the government what's going to happen we don't know but you're seeing little by little soet is changing less than a year ago they also passed the law that they wanted to remove the Ten Commandments there was a a statue of The Ten Commandments and they wanted to in a government building and they wanted to remove it so we're not only removing logic but we're also going we don't really need AEM anymore I would not be surprised if the next round of bills that the government prints are no longer going to say In God We Trust we're going to say thanks to our hard work thanks to the president thanks to the stock market thanks to whoever they come up with not God even though technically most people that read the dollar bill and they see In God We Trust they usually think that they mean oh it's the dollar is God because unfortunately in our society most people do treat the dollar like it's God they chase the dollar more and more and more like I did for much of my life as if it is God so when you see that and on the other end if you see the war that's happening in the world that's quiet that's happening there are thousands of thousands of people being killed quietly if you just look at what's happening in Syria and the Civil War that is happening no one is mentioning that over 250,000 Syrian citizens died last year by their own government no one seems to care no one seems to think this is actually valid or important and unless you actually look for it you're not going to find it so propaganda is increasing also the only thing you do see on the news on a regular basis is increased anti-Semitism you're seeing Hashem uses number one tool of anti-Semitism that if anyone wants to look was originally created in parat the book of Exodus the first par it was the first time that anyone specifically went against the Jews at that time we were Israelites but anti-Semitism in America in a recent study they confirmed that at least 40% of Americans are allies are considering themselves anti-semitic if our allies are such good friends you could only wonder what our enemies think of us but this is all Yem this is all in the hands of hem has nothing to do with us has nothing to do with them it has to do with our actions but hasm needs to use these tools it's a hard topic for people to talk about people don't like it people don't like to talk about Germany and the Holocaust but the reality of it is that this happens this is AEM when someone asks how could AEM you know where was Hashem during the Holocaust the very simple answer is he did it just like he created man in the beginning of time and he created the world and he created the Torah 974 Generations before he created the world he also did this nothing different why because of what he said in the Torah last week's par in America where a little bit of a lag behind Israel we read is one of two in the Tora that people don't really like to read in our grandparents generation and previously before that these two parot that are full of curses or punishments used to be read extra loud people would scream them instead of just reading them with a regular voice they would actually yell them out as loud as possible why because fear of hem is a necessary foundation in order to believe in him if you have no you have nothing kazal says that a connection to AEM that's only based on is a incomplete connection it's incomplete it's good it's a connection nonetheless you're still getting some battery power but it's incomplete you're not going to get to full power your iPhone's going to get to 60% but a connection to hasem only based on a only based on love is no connection at all it's impossible there's no such thing why why does say it's impossible to just love AEM and not fear him I love Hashem everyone thinks they love hem you ask any half- naked woman walking in a street that's half Jewish or even not do you love AEM say yeah of course I love God he's the best everyone loves God except the atheist that created their own religion of not believing in anything which is a different topic of its own you ask religious people not religious people everyone can say I love hem it's very easy to say I love Hashem but to show AEM we love him is a different story says it's impossible to love hem without fearing him why because you cannot love something when you don't know what it is which means that if you knew just a little bit that we can know we can't really understand AEM but the little bit that we can know through his Torah of what he is and what he's in control of which is everything whether it's the cells in your body or the speech that comes out of your mouth or the money that's in your pocket or the wife you're going to marry or whether you're going to live another week or not or whether you come into the world male or female rich or poor everything is in his power when you realize he's in control of everything how could you not fear if I really believed that he's in control of every single thing that moves every single thing that doesn't move every single thing that I see and every single thing that I don't see everything of course I'm going to fear him because I know that if even if you want to look at it just scientifically we said it in last night's Year everyone of us has protein proteins in our body trillions and trillions and trillions of proteins in order for your body to function and requires these proteins everyone says eat chicken eat meat you need protein so that's the source but what do we do with these proteins in your body you have an infinite amount of proteins but every one of these proteins needs to go through something called a protein fold meaning that they need to fold precisely in a way that's exact and if they just miss a little bit miss a little bit like for example you know you see this book if I close it like this then it's like that but if you just throw it around it could close in a little bit of a different way still closed not the same with the protein fold if one one of these proteins folds a little bit off just a little half a centimeter half a millimeter that's where disease comes from blindness being crippled not being able to breathe not being able to move blood not being able to function just one not trillions not five not 500 one who's in charge who's in charge of folding all of these these the same hasem so if I know he's in charge of these protein Falls that I never took you know never really cared about until now I should be scared so if I know just a little bit about Hashem obviously I have to be scared once I'm scared because of the almighty then we can start a relationship then we can say okay now I know what I'm dealing with to some extent let's see what else you say so he gave us a love letter it's called a Torah gives us instructions Torah in Hebrew also means means instructions instructions how to live instructions how to succeed instructions how to be happy instructions how to get to Eternal happiness and also instructions how to get to Eternal suffering same instructions instructions for everything everything and anything you could ever want is in the Torah anything and everything that has any good in it has to have a source in the Torah whether it's a statement a thought anything has to have a source in a Torah nothing new is created Under the Sun as has told us so now once we've started this relationship fearing hasem is the beginning eventually that fear gets to a point where you start kind of liking him too little by little maybe you fall in love but when you fall in love with your wife anyone's not married you have a z right away keep us away from sins and get us to do the first we need more Jews fall in love in the beginning it's passionate it's nice it's amazing but if you ask a newly wed couple how much they love each other they'll tell you a lot how much do you know about each other not so much because you don't have experience but if you ask an old Rabbi 75 years old 80 years old it's been with his wife for 60 years how much do you love your wife can't describe it a lot a lot that was uh 60 years ago was a a lot a lot what's a lot she's she's part of me how much do you know about your wife nothing how do you know nothing because everything that I know about is not enough because there's so much more to her discovering her new over and over again she's amazing that's what you can see M you see the love between an old R and his wife is much much better than a 20-year-old that just got married and thinks that he uh won the L why because the connection has moved from physical to spiritual and a spiritual connection is eternal and that takes time so little by little we gain this love but eventually we get to a stage of the highest level of the highest level of fearing of hem which is not fearing of punishment only but fearing of hurting the connection hurting the connection between us a person is not going to raise his W his voice to his wife if he's a normal human being not because he's afraid she's going to slap him if she's a normal human being hopefully she's not going to slap him but because he fears that it's going to hurt the connection someone gets to a point where they don't want to sin not because they fear that Hashem is going to punish them in this world next world and all of these things they fear that maybe I'm going to disconnect from him and anyone that knows even a little bit about connecting to hasem knows that disconnecting from him for even a minute is m g in this world without AEM in your life you have zero I lived like that most of my life and you only know the value of something when you don't have it once you got to the highest level of which is fearing hurting the connection then you can begin to think about loving AEM then the highest level of according to kazal is the beginning of loving hem it's the beginning ofm so how come you hear so many teachers rabbis and so on writing books and teaching about how you should love hem love hem love hm love hem I don't know I can't really answer for all of them all I can tell you is that it's an illusion for most people in our generation to start with loving hasem it's just not possible according to kazal not me it's not my opinion eventually you can get there and eventually you should get there and that's why you're supposed to sacrifice your life to get there but nonetheless one of the major issues we have in our generation today is that because we are constantly trying to fit in we've become a politically correct Society in a politically correct Society you cannot find the truth in a politically correct corre correct Society you only find things that don't hurt people's feelings so today's Shure is not just going to be what what I just talked about that was just an intro but it's really going to be about something that's a much more difficult topic that is unspoken of in the English language I only found this out when I I looked for it myself it's called wasting seed there obviously other topics we'll throw in as well but wasting seed if you notice anyone that watches Hebrew lectures online a sea of them few really strong rabbis have told the people the truth whether it's from the Z many many sources which will go over many of them in the English language sadly I became the third person to speak about it publicly just a few months ago there the sh that I made which is about an hour Shure or so a few months ago very very popular I think it's my top Shure there's Rabbi Alona that made a a few small clips about it 20 minutes 30 minutes and some others little longer and then as RAB mrai who's been telling the truth for the last 22 years also has a few clips about it and he also has a Shure out there that's about it the fact that I've only been giving lectures for the last couple of years and I became the third one out of thousands of rabbis that speak the English language is sad why because according to kazal there's no sin greater obviously there Shabbat but aside from that there's no sin greater than there's no sin greater than wasting seed kazal says and we'll go over it with some sources it's the equivalent of idol worship including incest including and a few other small ones all together in one package it's a nice package deal most people don't know this every teenager has this problem every got it's in his 20s has this problem in the 30s many do and this sin continues for Generation after generation and even sometimes people that are married who don't know how to conduct themselves with the Torah life also in the same problem so we're going to talk about this and I'm going to provide you some sources but the first thing I'd like to provide you is a reason of why rabbis don't talk about it from the Torah because hasem obviously in His Infinite Wisdom wanted to give us information that's Eternal as it says in the although there are over 1.2 million prophets throughout history at least 1.2 million prophets throughout history only 55 are mentioned in the in the tanak 40 48 males seven females so we ask Hashem why why only 55 what the Torah of the 1.2 million wasn't good enough what happened to them what happened to their prophecies maybe we want to see it answer the Prophecies of the 1.2 million or the majority of them was only relevant to their generation we mean we understand from here that the 55 we do have the information is relevant for eternity no one can say that just because Moses didn't have a car that's the reason why he didn't drive on Shabbat it didn't drive on Shabbat because it's not allowed it's not allowed today it wasn't allowed back then it's never going to be allowed so the conservative and the reforms and the fake religious that drive to Bess on Shabbat thinking they're doing should know this is a very very big mistake you're better off staying home never never going to a synagogue one day in your life than turning on the car for half a second I actually H have one of my students he's in the car business and he sent me uh he knows he's an engineer and he sent me a uh very complex spreadsheet showing how many actual fires are being being ignited every time you just press the gas based on the RPMs of the car based on how fast you're driving and so on the minimum the minimum the highest is tens of thousands but the minimum the first number that I see was 3,000 just by pressing the gas combustion yeah this is a problem so one time you press the gas you lit 3,000 fires which by the way is 3,000 sins it's 3,000 separate sins it's not one sin it's 3,000 separate sins you press the break press the gas somebody goes to besset they made 1.5 million a which is a little bit of a problem to show up to with with that kind of account because the there's two of them there's the good one and not so good Jeremiah told us some information that can help us today Jeremiah tried like all prophets his main job of a prophet is to do kiru to bring the nation back to hasem to wake them up and to tell them the full story tell them the truth whether they do it or not is irrelevant I'm going to tell you the truth today whether you listen or not is your choice but at least you'll have a choice based on information at least it's going to to be an educated decision whether you sin you don't sin it's not my problem but at least you'll know and that's the one thing that someone took away from me many people took away from me before I did Chua they never told me I can't tell you that I would have listened to them I was in a different world I had millions and millions of dollars I had a company to run my Gava was a little bit higher than Earth I can't tell you that I would have listened but still a 50-50 shot no one could tell me that I definitely wouldn't have and I know myself that maybe I would maybe I wouldn't either way it's always a 50/50 shot which means it's never your job it's never your job to decide for people there's a is I says that um if you know that someone is not going to listen it's better not to tell them because at least their sin is shog shog it's not a big deal you know it's accidental sin this is a problem this is a misunderstanding why because they also missed the Mish which precedes it it's before it's the beginning of the oral T everyone knows know says that a sin that's accidental a shog egg that comes from lack of learning turns into mid turns into purpose so you didn't know fine you didn't know you don't have to know but you have to learn you are commanded to learn now if you didn't know because you didn't want to learn then your sin is not sh it's mid it's on purpose there's no such thing as I could just show up to Hashem ignorant no such thing so all of these people whe they call themselves rabbis or they call themselves something else that are telling people no no no it's this whole generation is anusim and it's uh full of people that are and they don't know and they're this and they're that it's nonsense according to hashem's information it's 100% nonsense you don't have to take my word for it you can see it from the T itself you learn it you're going to see it we'll learn today heal meem and I will be healed save me Hashem and I will be saved for you are my praise Jeremiah chapter 17 ver14 what is Jeremiah telling us here the background story of why Jeremiah is crying to Hashem is because Jeremiah tried to do kiru but kiru the right way he told the people the truth he found the tribe of Ephraim wasting seed bunch of rash wasting seed and he rebuked him told him this is the worst thing on earth you're crazy Shem said this is guaranteed G this is AB this is horrendous this is going to kill you in this world and the next they went against him they went against him and tortured him he says hem heal me they're torturing me for what I'm trying to do your work I'm trying to tell people the truth this is what I get these people are going against me I'm trying to help them and they're going against me just like people that watch some of my shim they go against me also just like they've been doing it for ra M for 22 years or anyone that speaks the truth they go against you I have some people that actually take clips of my videos and they write different description no this is what he says it's actually if you watch the videos very good Clips it's the truth they just want to translate it something way a different way actually use some of their clips for myself and I publicize them it's good Clips you don't want to believe it it's your choice it's not my problem I'm not making up anything everything comes from if it's my if it's my opinion I tell you it's my opinion it's obvious it's my opinion so Jeremiah did the same thing but obviously if I could be his nail I would be happy but nonetheless they're torturing him how much are they torturing ing him if we fast forward to chapter 20 chapter 20:4 cursed be the day on which I was born May the day on which my mother bore me not blessed Jeremiah gets to the point where he curses the day he was born how could someone so holy so pure so amazing get to a point of cursing the day that he was born the midash that was actually written by his son Ben say that this was the day that the tribe of Ephraim didn't just go against Jeremiah but they told him you have two choices they surrounded him overpowered him so you have two choices you either waste seed just like us right now or you're going to see a real live Sodom and gomorah and what they did in Sodom and gomorah the same thing they did in Tel Aviv just a few days ago with the gate parade they threatened to they threatened to rape him so after forcing him to waste seed he was really considered anus he cursed the day that he was born why is it so bad why does theem care so much we waste seed in last week's par gave us a little bit of a secret that was a nice K I got that I think you would like after telling us each level of punishment we have five levels of punishment starts from losing our money the last level says that as it happened in bet mikdash when to get to such starvation we'd have to eat our children it's what happened inash he wasn't kidding but if you notice before each section each section of punishment hasem says the same thing V translation if despite these meaning despite the punishment that I gave you in a previous level you will not be chastised towards me meaning you still don't have you still don't care you're still sinning and you behave casually with me then I too will behave towards you with casualness theat of casualness according to kazal so we pick and choose whichever me what we want to keep kosher yeah you know what they live in Brooklyn there's a kosher place in every corner it's not that hard to keep kosher you have to not want to eat kosher to eat non kosher in Brooklyn different places around the world maybe a little more difficult but in today's world it's pretty easy to eat kosher anyone with an ounce OFA knows that hasm pays for it anyway but Shabbat not so sure I'll keep half a Shabbat should be happy I kep Shabbat wasting seed nah that's not for me that's for people that are that's I'm not at that level watching my eyes that's for uh Raad ra Steinman they wash their eyes not for me you know you pick and choose I could do that even when I get out of the bathroom I do you pick and choose says you treat me with casualness you make a joke of my Torah you think it's a choice to keep all the mitv for that it's a separate punishment violating my my my Torah is one punishment treating it with casualness is a completely separate punishment but now what's the he kept saying k for anyone that's learned a little bit of also knows that it has another meaning if we go to se Deuteronomy chapter 23 verse 10 when a camp goes out against your enemies you shall guard against anything evil if there will be among you a man who will not be clean because of noctural occurrence he shall go outside the camp he shall not enter the midst of the camp when it will be toward evening he shall immerse himself in the water meaning going into the mikve and when the sun sets he may enter the midst of the camp so noctur occurrence meaning a seminal emission is also called ker b k someone that has a waste seed but unintentionally in Street language they call it having a wet dream talks about this verse page 20b T the rabbi is Tau in the ber which is this verse we just talked about which meant and you shall beware of anything evil this teaches that a person should not think immoral Thoughts by day and come thereby to tum at night and thear is mentioning evil it's not talking about think about bad things happening in the world maybe there's going to be a war maybe I'm going to lose all my money in the stock market maybe my wife's cheating on me or is going to leave me maybe my husband hates me maybe my kids are going to fail at school no no no they're not talk about D like that says in he's talking about thinking about something erotic inappropriate why because he didn't watch his eyes when he didn't watch his eyes of course he's going to think of something erotic at night so much so the says or better said if someone has a b you know an erotic dream even if the woman in his dream is his wife he wake wakes up out of the dream and he wants to be with his wife not allowed until he cools down and he doesn't have those thoughts anymore then he could do what he wants then he's a normal person again why because if he commits relations with his wife at that moment that he's still hot from the dream what could happen to the child the child could have partial control by shim by demons why because they contributed to making the child which by the way just so you know according to kazal every single woman you see in your dreams including if she looks like your wife is actually none no one less than the Satan's wife herself that's her job her job is to take your seed and create bunch of soldiers to torture you in this world and the next so when you give her that seed you're creating an enemy for yourself this is kind of scary it's just the beginning in your dream doesn't your your soul actually leave your body and your sleep isn't it not all of it if your entire soul left your body you would die it's only most of the Soul there's still a uh still a part of your soul stays with you and um part of the Soul goes up to Sham and gets the news of what is the outcome for tomorrow meaning that you go up there and you tell the BET of sh what did I do today and they'll tell you okay based on these Deeds tomorrow you're going to have a very difficult day so that's why you see sometimes people wake up tab nothing happened but they're already in a bad mood they woke up they see their wife she's happy hey how are you good morning honey how you doing ah don't talk to me what you do what did I do you're already in a bad mood why cuz you got bad news from sh and your soul knows it you don't know it consciously but subconsciously you know it you know you're going to have a tough day so now when someone is having these dreams it's their fault there's no such thing as having these dreams just because it's because you saw something either during that day or during your life but in general it's usually during a recent time according to most dreams are complete nonsense they have zero meaning once in a blue moon someone can have a dream that could actually be a partial prophecy but the ones that are nonsense what's the nonsense what does it mean nonsense what's it's combination of the things you saw you saw an elephant today so you're going to see a woman with an elephant head you saw a somebody running you're going to see I know a little bunny running you see all types of strange things in a dream they don't really make sense but it's a combination of all the things you actually saw in your real life if you looked at a p you looked at a immodest woman that's what you're going to see and sometimes you'll see her that you saw in the street and sometimes the Satan will actually or the Satan's wife will actually have your wife's face so you're going to think oh you know what I'm not making a sense my own wife it's not your wife what happens at that point the is even if you waste the seed it's already a big problem even if you get out of the dream you survived the dream you didn't waste seed you're lucky you see your wife right next to you and your wife loves you and she wants to hug you she has no clue what dream you had not allowed to touch him not allowed to touch him why because according toad which we know most of the secrets part of the tah because of him he says that all of the crazy people people have mental problems are usually controlled by shim they're usually controlled by demons and that's why you see a lot of them say they see things they hear things they do they're not imagining it they do they do see things they do hear things you can't see it CU you're normal but they do sometimes it's the fault of the parents sometimes it's a g Ghoul Now why does AEM care so much about this kry he tells us here that on one end in this when he says K on one end means treating me with casualness right means with casualness but another end it says not only did you sin but you're still wasting seed okay you didn't do fine I got it you didn't do you stole from me the food you ate you didn't do you stole from hm anyone that enjoys anything in this world without saying a says they stole from hem have to do you didn't do fine you violated shabb you worshiped an idol you did all those things okay you're going to get your punishment for it fine but not only did you do that you still have the audacity to waste seed meaning it's at a different level it's a different level it's a different world and just so far we've been talking for a little while B
