When No One Is Looking

foreign [Music] you have a punishment it's a sign for me to wake you up to do chuva for that specific issue somebody just stole money from you that means the kadoshburg who is trying to tell you you have to do chuva for stealing wait but somebody stole from me yes they only stole from you because you stole when I don't remember oh wait a minute when I was 15 I took five dollars from my cousin yes When You're 15 you were considered 100 an adult according to the Torah and you stole five dollars and you have to give back to five dollars now you're embarrassed to give the five dollars put it in an envelope don't say where it came from and send it to the person now what if the person ran away you don't know where they are take the five dollars and give it in stucca for something that's connected to TOA if you could return it to the person itself that's ideal you cannot return it to the person or the institution let's say you stole from a store or you stole from a school or you stole from something like that you can't do it or lead to trouble maybe for example they'll sue you it's not up to you giving back so what do you do you put in an envelope and you send them a payment now if you don't have all the money let's say you stole five thousand dollars and you don't have five thousand dollars so what do you do you make payments you make payments you put a blank check or just cash an envelope drop it off send it off or if again if you don't know where they are this person is gone from the world you don't know where they are you take that money and you give it in stucca you give it in stock and you'll see a lot of blessings in your life there's a famous story that happened in New York some time ago back in the early 1990s I think it was 91. breaking news report on the news they were interviewing a Jewish guy that owned a small toilet paper company he didn't know that the interview was coming but they interviewed him and highlighted his business and say wow you're such an amazing business well it's so amazing when you find out the details behind the scenes so he told the story himself to Jews not to the news he says one time I came to a lecture just like this and the rabbi said wasn't me it wasn't a rabbi yet Rabbi said anyone that has blood on their hands cannot enter Canadian anyone that has blood on their hands cannot antagonate them so everybody was relieved oh I'm not a murderer about Hashem but then the rabbi continued blood is the meme but there's also the meme in blood this means the meme in Hebrew but the meme also means money meaning anyone that stole money cannot enter grenade them even if they keep Shabbat even if they give staka even if they learn all day all night all that stuff is good if they stole money and they didn't do chuvar they cannot enter Canada so one of the guys got nervous why he's been stealing for a few years from who from his customers which today is acceptable apparently even among Jews if people think that if you don't steal you can't make it in life it's the opposite by the way still you're not going to make it in life not this life eternal life but anyway he says to the rabbi after elections embarrassed says what am I going to do he says what happened he said I'm in a toilet paper business in its industry Norm that every roll of paper is a hundred yards but none of the customers actually count it's the role of papers 100 yards so you know we all cheat a little bit you know you sell a hundred but 99. you sell it as 100 price 100 but it's 99 yards and then I figured you know let me try cut a little bit longer 95. I said nobody paid attention I went to 90. nobody paid attention I went to 80. nobody paid attention I said you know what I started feeling bad I said you know what I'll make a deal with the you know my yet Sarah what 85. I sold it as a hundred I priced a hundred full price but in reality I gave them 85 yards for years I'm doing it 10 years I'm doing it 12. 10 years of selling them 85 yards that means every roll of paper I'm stealing 15. how do I do true officers to think I want to go to Canada and I keep Shabbat now you have to see it everything how do I go to Canada now Rabbi was smart he says if you tell them hey Rabbi I thought you were smart with me if I tell them if I tell them right now they're all going to sue me I'm gonna be put in jail I'm gonna be losses for the rest of my life and I'll never be able to pay him back anyway oh the rabbi said I know that's what I was saying to you if you tell them nothing good is going to come out of it because exactly oh now you're a good rap like oh you have to do something what do you have to do he says let me ask you about this toilet paper business is there a lot of profit margin in it he goes yes a lot he goes if you sell them the hundred but really you give them extra you give them 115. instead of 100 you give them 115. can you still make money can you still make a living goes yeah about Hashem we make plenty of money on paper you go look at that's what you do that's what you do from now on give them 150 meaning give them extra they're paying for a hundred you are taking 15. so now with every roll of paper you're making up for the stolen money without them knowing and little by little Hashem will see that you're trying your best and that's what the guy did and he did it for one month and two months and the profit margins went down but nonetheless he's still making a living and if somebody wants to go to Canadian they'll do whatever they need to do so as you would have it akadasma who loves people that do chuva he loves them so much that he shows them open Miracles even in this world after they passed some tests especially when it comes to the test of money because as a kadoshburg who said to mosheben who said to us the last generation is going to serve the god of wood the god of stone but also the god of silver and gold what are they going to be the four different types the four different types of comes you can have Christianity you can have Islam you're going to have money you're gonna have kavod people that do me SWAT for kavod they want they want respect they want to donate only if you put their name on the website they want to donate only if you put the name on the uh on the building now if you're not going to report it then I'm not going to donate yeah but you know people need to do you need to feed people okay so feed them with a plaque on to you know give them a card that says I gave him the money now sometimes people do me spell like this says they'll cry when they get to heaven when they get to shamaim they'll cry because all of this all the reward they got will be spent already in this world because of all the honor they got but anyway this guy passed the test he started giving his customers extra extra extra one month two months three months four months five months six months on the sixth month one day he has on his door sir this uh TV TV stations outside the office what happened he doesn't know what's going on maybe they could maybe they discovered what he did in the past for so many years he doesn't know what to do but he can't hide so he goes outside sir what do you have to see for yourself we just did an industry research on the toilet paper business and all of the competitors are promoting a hundred yards per roll but we did an investigation the average is selling 72 yards 72 76 78 87 89 no one is selling even a hundred even though they Market it except you sir you give your customers even extra you give them 115 on the average what do you have to say about it the poor guy he's not gonna tell him I've been stealing my customers and I listen to my Rabbi and I'm doing true right now waiting to say because oh you know I love my customers I love my custom that's what he says guess what his business boomed why all of the all of the customers saw this TV uh TV uh you know special I said wow I'm gonna buy from this guy buy from that guy this guy's giving me at least good toilet paper they started buying from him and like those about who already gave him reward in this world why he did chewba that's difficult to do it's not easy to do chuba it's not easy to do chuva for money but nonetheless he did it and he got rewarded for it says if you do chuva you'll get rewarded measures for measure in this world and the next [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music]
