But then you say, "Wait, aren't they going to become spoiled?" Said spoiled is perfect. No problem. let them be spoiled and eventually they'll become there's actually a story in one kid didn't want to learn to so one of the say you know what if you come learn Torah with me after a few years I'll give you three buckets of gold three buckets of gold he goes no I want to go to Wall Street no you'll make more money to Wall Street with me come learn Torah come learn some uh some Mishna some this some that in a few years once you get married and everything I'll give you three buckets three buckets that's how you used to measure they used to measure now with money like today $100, $200. He used to measure up things by buckets. I'll give you three buckets of gold. So the kid says, "Okay, fine. No problem." Okay. So he starts learning, learning, learn. The kid is has talent and he's learning. Now, of course, the kid has talent. What happens? Satan shows up say, "Hey, hey, you're ruining my uh you're ruining my business. This kid was a good employee. You're ruining everything." So he comes into the kid's head and he says, "Listen, kid. This rabbi has $2 to his name. How's he gonna come up with three buckets of gold? Look at this guy. He doesn't have a car. He doesn't have nothing. How's he gonna give you? He doesn't have money to eat. He's gonna give you three buckets of gold. How's he gonna give you three buckets of gold? So, the kid has this thought in his head after he's learning already for a few years. And uh says, "You're right. How about Rabbi? I know you said after I, you know, I finish and everything and I get married, you're going to give me the buckets of gold, and I got and I I trust you. I trust you, Rabbi, but can I see a source? I trust you, Rabbi. Can I see it anyway? Can I see the buckets? I trust you. No, I trust you. But can I see it anyway? Okay. Okay. I'll get back to you. I'll get back to you. Don't worry. We'll get it for you. No, no, no. But I want to see it though. All of a sudden, he doesn't really want to learn cuz he's like thinking maybe, maybe the Satan is right. Maybe Satan is right. Maybe he doesn't have the money. Maybe he's just fooling me. And by the time I realized I've already his slave, maybe it's a whole scam. Maybe this, maybe that. So the rabbi went home and he's upset. Why is the rabbi says to him, "Rabbi, why you upset? Why you upset?" Says, "The kids asking for the gold." The kids asking for the gold. That's why I'm upset. The rabbi was says, "Rabbi, this this this what you learn in Torah, who's the one that gave it to who gave it to us?" So, when it's time to give you the bucket of God's going to give it to you, a little word of all of a sudden the rabbi is in a good mood. automatically she said something the rabbi is in a good mood that's why it says a woman builds a woman destroys as he has the on the spot somebody knocks on the door knocks on the door in the middle of the night oh usually it's the police he opens the door rabbi rabbi I need I need help I need help who are you this one that one okay never seen you before yeah I only come on Shabbat okay what do you want listen Rabbi I'm 70 and I'm All my life I chase money. I don't have any Torah. Rabbi, I I I just heard Mash that you did the other day that without Torah. There's no there's no nothing. Rabbi, here I brought you. He takes out from the outside. Here, rabbi t three buckets of gold. Buy me some Torah. The rabbi starts slapping. He goes, "No worry, I'll get you some to. Don't worry, I'll get you some Torah." So the next day, he says, "Hey kid, come come out of the corner. Come out. I got to show you something in my office." The kid comes in. The room is lighting. How it's a light from the gold. The whole room is lighting like the sun is inside. He sees the gold. Now he has all the kavana in the world. Now he's studying out loud. He's standing up. He's excited cuz he saw the gold. So you thought that's the end of the story. We're only halfway. Then a little bit of time passes by. The kid is learning. Kid is learning. And he gets to the rabbi and he starts getting to the rabbi. He says, "Rabbi, rabbi, I made a mistake." And he starts crying this territory. He says, "Rabbi, rabbi, I made a mistake." What mistake? He said, "Rabbi, I just got to the says that a single word of Torah is worth more than all the money in the world from the beginning of time till the end of time. And I just sold half my Torah for three buckets of gold. Give it back to him, please, Rabbi. I don't want it." He says, "Okay, son. I don't know if he's going to take it back. You made a deal. Please, Rabbi." He starts crying. He start Okay. He brings the old man. He brings the old man says, "Listen, he doesn't want it." So the kid takes the bucket, throws it to the guy, "Take your money. I want my Torah back." The the the rich guy says, "Take the money. We made a deal. I bought it. It's mine." And they start fighting. They throw the bucket back and forth. They're arguing. And the rabbi is laughing. And Akadoshb is dancing. And the rabbi says, "Okay guys, don't worry. I got it. I'll take the money. Don't worry. You got your Torah. You got your money. Don't worry. I got it. We'll give this money to some people that really need it and you'll have 100% of the Torah and you'll have 100% of the school. Now, how did it start? Bribing the kid. Bribing the kid. This is one of the greatest ways to get a kid to learn. A woman asked me recently, "My kid wants to get money, but I'm scared to give him money." At the same time, she says he doesn't want to learn Torah. What should I do? I said, "Perfect solution. Give him money to go buy candy after he learns Torah." Yeah, but then his teeth are going to go bad without teeth without teeth. Not the first one. Or maybe you prefer Rasha with a full set of teeth. Which one you want? The point is is that you have to do whatever you can to get your kids to like Ta. You got to get and the same thing with the ladies. You have to make sure your husband your husband learns Torah. You got to be creative. You got to make sure that your husband knows Torah is everything. Why? You want a good husband, you has to learn Torah. [Music] Sit them down.
