uh should I feel bad Yeshiva guys call me a cheater for using a mitziva or art scroll should I only learn where no one sees me anybody that calls you a cheetah for using art scroll is a kufel And Delay Israel is to be punished for it and also have amalik you should never talk to them again and the reason why is because David Feinstein of Moshe Feinstein uh all of delays has supported article and said that it's the greatest thing uh that was in the Toro World um appreciated a uh uh what art scroll did and uh and how it's a great benefit to the generation but the truth is it's not they didn't just appreciate because they made it easier for people to understand the shot that's not what they why they supported it so much there are other ways to understand the shot and easier ways than just simply looking at a uh and and breaking your head on it there are other ways so why do they appreciate it so much because they made it in such a uh uh a nice presentation that it's makes it much more likely that the person could not only arrive at the correct shot the right meaning of what the gemara says but also it gives him the ability to now use all of the energy that he has to actually develop upon it and understand the vami talked about to understand more than what the is saying from the shot he's not exerting all of his energy on arriving at the shot he is exerting his energy on other things on learning more on learning on learning uh uh uh more details the problem is with people that are against the the art school it's usually people that are America the complete ignoramuses they've never completed anything in their life they've never completed the shots at least once and they've never completed they've never completed any real put scheme to speak of maybe they completed a a basic book by local hasid incomplete anything of value maybe they complete a few the team here and but never complete my second but they have a lot of jealousy and they don't know how to control that jealousy they're going to control their mouth they don't have basic level of midot they don't know the basic are never allowed to tell anybody not to learn to Allah in the way that is making them successful it's me that this is what they did they have no idea what kind of hole they build themselves in they have no idea what they did to themselves literally if I was if I was them I would cry on the floor right now I would cry on the floor bang my head on the floor and tell her who forgives me for what they did you have no idea how much bad people get for doing things like this because what they do is they discourage people from having any sense of achievement without having anything else that that is equivalent and the worst part about it is that they're not doing it for the betterment of that person they're just doing it purely out of jealousy they're doing it purely out of arrogance nothing good never comes out of them you cannot be right and Allah finds teen wrong you cannot be right and of David finds team wrong you cannot be right by by abstaining Men wrong it's not possible for these little peanuts nothing zeros that do not even have half a shot behind them to be right and one of delay said to be wrong it's simply impossible I spoke to some people from art school I spoke to some people that are serious literally the the amount of wisdom behind what they put there is beyond what an average person could even comprehend the average person that even benefit from what art school could offer but the average person doesn't understand that article is not making the gamara easy for you it just simply eliminating the chances of you making a mistake on the basics real learning happens after that real learning is developed after you got the shot that's the part that you have to break your head no matter how many translations you have so that's That's how little these people know they don't understand that what article offers you is not all the details and the secrets and all it doesn't think for you it gives you the basics in order to eliminate the mistake I've spoken to a lot of young many times they went to Yeshiva their whole life they learned the the way that people learn I ask them okay what are you learning now okay no what's uh what paid what that for you on they don't even know what Duff they're on that you learned uh I think it was uh the show they're not even sure okay new fight tell me what what do you know tell me what you know nine out of ten times even what they think they know is wrong why because they don't understand the language nine out of ten times the bahuin do not understand the language anywhere near as they think they understand it and that little difference that small difference in understanding the language makes all the difference makes all the difference like the amount of uh of of ignorance a person has to have to to criticize that supported something to help people understand the basics is beyond because what ends up happening is that people don't understand that there are certain terminologies in Judaism in in the talmud in the Torah that there is no correct translation for it in English or any other language and thereby requires certain commentary on it and if you do not know that you're not gonna understand anything you're not gonna You're Gonna Stand wrong sometimes there are certain lingos that are used by post scheme that they're saying uh uh let's say uh uh the famous uh love but there's a high that if you only put the one seek on it it's referring to my brother it's spelled the same way as Akai but it has one per seek instead of two seek the point being is if a person learns a lot of post scheme they know exactly what I'm talking about once take two seek there exactly no if they don't learn post game they're thinking that whoever quoted this is making a mistake because they're calling this person a uh an author of uh of a book that was written 800 years ago when the the author really wrote a book uh 20 years ago 100 years ago so the average person reading a talmud today is not taught a lot of this stuff the average person is not even taught to start a game and finish it usually they give them random pages from different places so when a person learns art school from beginning to end reads everything on the page I could assure you that person will become a much bigger tummy than the vast majority of people that are are out there needless to say all of the people that are mocking him all of the people that are making fun of him all of them without exception most of those people many times will not even become will not even be religious in a few years why because it's me that amalek to discourage somebody from learning towards me that I'm a lick it comes from arrogance it comes from a bad place and it's it's it's it's it's literally something that if they understood what they did they would cry on the floor like they cry on the floor for doing that and unfortunately I've had many many stories of people doing that sometimes even rabbis sometimes even rabbis and all they only realize they did something bad after they destroyed the kid he doesn't want to learn anymore because he feels like his three-quarters of a maseka that he finished with Arch Coal is not good enough he has to start all over he doesn't have the energy and he loses everything seven years I've worked for seven years meaning he went throughout the entire Shiva system his father was a rabbi he was Tommy shiva's whole life learned his whole life became a network after Yeshiva seven years when I met him he came to me told me I told him I started talking about what he learns this then the other thing I learned you know a little bit already and I told him would you um have you completed he said I did um I said wait for what 20 times 50 times what do you mean what do you mean what do you mean you're you're 30 years old you finished too much seven years in a color your whole life he goes yeah it takes a long time to finish my second and then you're killing yourself I told him what you're doing is wrong what you're doing is against what delaysia taught you go out to a uh actively saying Panic bit the uh uh I was fine writes a whole Chiva about learning and how people that they do in Yeshiva today is literally destroying people it's not helping people many of all of the leads that were against it yourself many of the delaysia were against the way the people teaching Yeshiva today with all these people and going back and forth five hours on the same page all this stuff is not the way that you learn Torah either way I told them you're killing yourself for no reason you're not going to come to me to come this way learn art scroll learn art school you'll be able to start finishing you'll be able to learn maserto don't take uh four years three years to finish my second it's crazy you could finish it in uh in a month two months if you learn more less obviously but uh certainly should it take uh uh three four years to finish and needless to say too much sectors in a lifetime 30 years old already seven years in a Colo and all they learned is about all day seven years to massage long story short use Bok Hashem I was fortunate enough to convince him after that he started finishing one more second after the other finished my second Shabbat finished a uh uh many others but hashemi uh each time he finished it every time you know he would send me a video of his secret how happy he is how it changed his life he finally knows something so again if a person knows anything anything about Torah they would never in their Wildest Dreams ever speak against another person learning needless to say another person having a uh more likely uh opportunity to understand the shot from a learning article only arrogant ignoramuses speak against it nobody that's worth a grain of salt will speak against it uh and uh and again because it's not speaking against the book it's it's speaking against logic and it's speaking against Israel that vouched for them and they didn't vouch for them for no reason now if a person is just starting right now he's five six seven eight nine years old he's learning Torah he's Advanced he's ready to start learning talmud of course you give him a regular talmud you don't give him an art score because he can learn everything from the beginning he has all the time in the world he's 10 years old nine years old but if a person is about you guys 18 20 25 30 35 there's no need for him to go back to uh uh the that you need learn the way that is going to get you to pretty much be on an even playing field with somebody that's been learning their whole life you're an even playing field on day one and that is what is necessary that is going to give your person a sense of accomplishment that is necessary for them to achieve anything in their life thank you very much for learning with me Michelle bless each and every single one of you I need to keep some of my energy bill Hashem to do another lecture later today uh tonight in Hebrew uh and uh but uh this year will be online on YouTube later on

their Community USBS the cards which are certainly my favorite thing to give out to people because it gets them directly to where they need to learn some of these movies watch these movies get inspired and then learn the rest of the lectures watch it learn it Hashem be holy [Applause]
