When it came down to
when it came down to publicizing Torah,
when it came down to helping other
people, all of a sudden I don't have we
have a lot of debt. You know, I have so
many bills. But when it came down to
your belly, when it came down to your
own desires, all of a sudden, honey,
$400 is nothing. It's nothing. Come on,
we need to eat.
person is going to say, "Well, no, I'm
not stingy. I'm not stingy. I I I
donated I donated $100
last month."
Okay. I mean, is that your Mel?
Well, what what is that mas? What do you
mean, Mel? Is that 10% of what you made?
No. Rabbit, what do you think? I MAKE
ONLY $1,000. NO, I make about 15,000 a
month.
So the $100 is that all you gave? Well,
no. I also gave like $50 like two months
ago.
Okay. So let me explain.
David,
who's better than the vid? Who's better
than tell us
in
gives us a rebuke of all rebukes.
He gives us a rebuke that when I said it
couple years ago in Isue, we turned it
into a film.
This was also part of the message of
but we're not going to go over the whole
we're just going to go over a certain
section that's relevant to the subject
at hand
in chapter 50 of Psalms verse number 20
and 21
is speaking and says you sit and speak
against your brother You slander your
mother's son.
These have you done and I kept silent.
You thought I was like you.
I will rebuke you and lay it clearly
before your eyes.
Here
is telling us a message
of what's going to happen not only at
the end of days but also at the end of
patience for each and every single
person.
What's the end of patience?
saying, says to even, "You are guilty of
all these crimes, yet I patiently kept
silent and ignored your sins to give you
an opportunity to do chuva. You
misinterpreted my patient silence and
thought that I was unaware of your
concealed crimes.
What you do behind doors when your wife
is not there,
when your computer is on, when you're at
the office by yourself, who comes to
visit you, when the customer is a no
is right or left and he simply assumes
you're telling him the truth
when you have an opportunity to take
that's not what's not yours. You thought
that only the customer doesn't see. You
thought that God doesn't see. Hashem
says, "I saw and you assumed that since
I didn't do anything, I didn't punish
you. You thought I was like you.
You misinterpreted my patient silence
and thought I was unaware of your
concealed crimes. You compared me to
yourselves and you imagined that just as
mortals are ignorant of conspiracies, so
too is God.
I will rebuke you and lay it clearly
before your eyes where is warning. My
patience will come to an end and I will
rebuke you and set forth the case
against you. I will enumerate every one
of your concealed sins clearly
demonstrating that I always knew your
secrets. Here is the scariest thing of
all.
When the day of judgment comes, not just
as a whole,
when Mashiach comes,
but on an individual basis,
your heart is put on trial.
Will show you all the things you thought
that no one saw.
The worst part of it is not the things
you're thinking about. Oh, the woman he
cheated on, the men, the the money. No,
no, no. It's not that's not the worst
part. That's the obvious part, you know.
It's the worst part.
Says the
when says, "I will rebuke you and lay it
clearly before your eyes."
What a kadosh is telling us says the bet
is that at each man's ultimate heavenly
trial he will be shown from his own
actions the faultiness of his own
justifications and rationalizations
in so many words
is going to rebuke you over your
and how you did them. Why
you gave
you gave $100, gave $50?
Ask you can't give anymore. I mean,
there's a big need. A lot of poor
people. There's a big need. More Tawa in
the world. No, listen. I'm in debt. $2
million I have to pay. You know, this
business is not doing as well. Okay, no
problem. Thank you very much.
But then
the next day,
tell your family, "Honey, I don't feel
like cooking tonight. Why don't we
order? What do you want to order, honey?
Let's get that uh you know that Chinese
food. You know, the one that has those
triangles. There's a little meat in
there. I like those things." Yeah, but
honey, it's like $400 every time we
order. Santa, we need to eat.
Show you that.
When it came down to
when it came down to publicizing Torah,
when it came down to helping other
people, all of a sudden I don't have we
have a lot of debt. You know, I have so
many bills. But when it came down to
your belly, when it came down to your
own desires, all of a sudden, honey,
$400 is nothing. It's nothing. Come on,
we need to eat. when it came down to the
mitzvot.
Oh, you have lul.
Listen, I don't know that much. Let me
just get the whole package. How much is
the whole package? $100. OKAY, I'LL GET
THE WHOLE PACKAGE. WELL, you know, why
don't you if you get them separately,
you're going to get better quality.
Listen, there's one guy, my neighbor,
he's fanatic. He spent $600 on his
$200 on the lulav, another $200 on the
other two. He's crazy. I GET THE WHOLE
PACKAGE FOR $100.
WHY? But you can you you can afford. No,
listen. I don't know that much. Oh, when
it comes down to the mitzvot, I don't
know that much. When it came down to
getting a new car, sir, do you want to
get the extra special version of the nav
navigation system that has the lights
and every single time you even point to
the wrong direction, it tells you, "No,
don't go that way. You want that one?
It's only $3,000."
Yeah, of course. Of course. I mean, I
need to know where I'm going. Okay. And
you want the the carpet that goes on top
of the carpet that we already provide
you? That's only an extra $250 per
carpet. Then you need six. So, it's only
$1,500.
Yeah, of course. I mean, I don't want to
ruin the car. Okay. And do you want just
the regular windows or or do you want
the power windows because it gives you
extra power and that way you're going to
be powerful? Wait, you mean it doesn't
come with power windows by itself? No,
it comes with power windows. I mean, we
are in the year 2025, but we want to
make it powerful version of the power
windows. That just one button, the whole
thing goes down because if you just keep
your finger on, your finger is going to
get tired. Oh, yeah. How much is that?
Oh, it's only another $2,000. Yeah, of
course. I need the windows. I mean, come
on. What if I'm driving and my finger is
stuck? SHALOM. IT COULD BE A CAR
ACCIDENT. FOR all of the luxuries, you
needed, honey. Uh, the camera for this
new house. Which one is it? No, I didn't
get a camera. What do you mean you're
not going to have a camera? We need a
camera at every door. We need a camera
that tells us if there's a a thief even
thinking about our house. We need to
know when he's coming. We need to know
when he's going. We need to know where
he lives. We need to have a camera that
follows him ALL THE WAY TO HIS HOUSE IN
HIS WAREHOUSE. How much is that? 8,000.
Get it. But for the muzot, listen, I
don't need the most uh what? $400 muza
$200? No, it's too much. Just get me
kosher. poster. What? $50. eBay. Yeah.
Yeah. Get it. Get it. How many do you
need? 15. We have 15 rooms. Oh, so for
the 15 room house only $50. But the
cameras for every door 8,000. No big
deal.
I will rebuke you and lay it clearly
before your eyes. Meaning, I will show
you how crooked your heart was with the
things you think you did good.
You say you did the mitzvot. You said
you kept Shabbat. You said you gave.
Let's compare it to how you kept the
laws of your lust, the laws of your
desire, the laws of your own.
Let's compare the two. Which one were
you more loyal to? Building your house
here or building your house there? This
is the scariest part. Why? Because at
the end of the day is telling us
is not only telling you I know what
you're feeling
says I'm going to show you what you're
feeling and I will rebuke you based on
what you felt.
All the things you did good. FORGET THE
SINS. THAT'S ALREADY OBVIOUS.
When you stole, when you cheated, when
you lied, all that's obvious. There's
going to be judgment for that.
can understand that we're talking about
for the religious.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT for the ones who
think we're DOING GOOD.
Usabai
will show us. Oh, over there. Let's see
how much did you spend on your car? How
much did you spend on the How much you
spend on your house? How much you spend
on? How much did you put effort into
praying? How much did you put effort
into closing a business deal? How much
did you put into studying Torah? How
much did you put into making new friends
in order to get a raise at your job? How
much? How much? How much
will show us the scariest things? Why?
Because literally all of the fakery, all
of the lies, all of the illusions will
be put on a platter.
And that
that's the reason why the sages say
that's scary scarier than gay. Why?
Because you literally become like
theatim.
You cannot handle you cannot handle
literally realizing not only you lived
the lie but it's exposed.
Says I've been watching it the whole
time. You thought I was like you. You
thought I wasn't watching. I didn't
notice that you spent $400 on lunch, but
you said you don't have any MONEY FOR
STAKA. YOU THOUGHT I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT
YOU SPENT $8,000 ON CAMERAS, but you
didn't have any money to spend for good
quality meat. You thought I didn't
NOTICE THAT YOU SPENT 5,000 ON THE
WATCH, 15,000 on the watch, but you
didn't want to buy a new even though
your are literally a senior citizen.
You thought I know. You thought I was
like you? I don't know.
Is going to show us the reality of our
actions.
That's the scariest part.
That's the scariest part. Why? Because
it's all in our heart and only
who knows it aside from us. Nobody else
can know if you're a faker. Nobody knows
whether you're a faker.
You could even lie to your spouse to a
certain extent and they won't know if
you're a faker.
who knows. And he doesn't only know.
He's going to show it to us. And he's
going to rebuke us with that.
He's not going to rebuke us based on our
neighbor. He's not going to rebuke us
based on Mosherenu. He's not going to
rebuke us based on some illusion. He's
going to rebuke us based on us.
That's the scary part.
And therefore, says the
All of the service of God is reduced
to that of the heart and tongue. What
you feel, what's really in your heart,
and what words come out of your mouth.
As the Torah says, "For this commandment
which I command you this day is neither
beyond you nor far off.
It is not in heaven that you should say
who will go to the heaven for us and
bring it to us so that we can hear it
and do it. Neither it is across the sea
that you should say who will cross the
sea for us and bring it to us so that we
could hear it and do it.
Rather, it is a thing very close to you
in your mouth and in your heart that you
can do.
The entire Torah is
it's in your mouth, it's in your heart
to do it. All of this that seems
impossible
is not only possible.
And not only you can do it, but that's
what you created for.
That's what you are programmed to do.
Everything that's the opposite of it is
against the program. Just like you will
not use your microwave in order to drive
it to drive you to work because it's a
microwave. It's not a car.
Using your na to do the mitzvot is the
that's the number one thing to use it
for to follow Hashem. That's the number
one thing. When you're steering in other
ways, that's because you're going
against the instructions. So don't think
for a moment, oh, this is too hard. No,
no. This is what you were created to do.
And the difficulties are only because
you've been violating and breaking the
instructions for a while. So it takes a
little while to reprogram yourself back
to manufacturers's guidelines.
