there's a reason why
the who did not write the as a book to
scare people he simply told you this is
the law this is the law you follow you
go to heaven you don't follow you go to
simply it's not it's not like there's no
sugar coating when it comes to and wrote
in wasting seed is the worst crime in
the Torah now of course all of us know
that the same is said about violating
Shabbat the same is said about the same
is said about and
others meaning
that they can't all be the worst in
theat can they well yes they can it's
just that an essence when a person
violates this specific issue on a
regular basis without doing cha for it
in essence what the rambam the Z thear
and all of the sages that have made this
type of statement are saying is that
even if you keep everything else but you
didn't do Chua for this crime it all
goes to waste you're going to get all of
your reward in this world but the next
world is not going to look pretty for
how long
forever that's how bad it is abos K said
that wasting seed is the worst crime in
at
toah the r agreed the Z agreed in fact
many of theim said things that are much
more extensive than
that hence the reason of why the
sages took Extraordinary Measures to
teach us some of the details of the
punishment why they took uh extensive
measures to teach us of how careful some
of them were
as uh we uh read in there are countless
stories uh about about reard and
Punishment and so on and actually in
this week's

par says by
the God spoke to Moshe and said to him I
am
AEM now of course a person that's
reading the toah for the first time in
his life or perhaps the first time he's
reading it with commentary he's like why
is AEM telling Moshe that he's God like
I would assume that when God's talking
to you you're pretty much sure who's
talking to you you don't think it's your
friend Steve you don't think it's your
wife talking to you perhaps with a
different voice that perhaps coming from
Heaven you know obviously you realize
it's God what is the point here why is
he
reminding mosu that he's
God Rashia kados rash you cannot survive
a single verse in the Tor without him
specifies what is God's message here to
tell mhe in essence tell us to tell
us why is he telling us he's
God says 55 prophets are mentioned in a
tanak from all the way to the end of the
prophets there are 55 prophets named by
names 48 males seven
females I ask how many prophets were
there in history over 1.2 million so how
come only 55 prophets are mentioned out
of 1.2 million simple the ones that are
mentioned their message whatever verse
it is whether it's the first vers in
the created the Heaven and the Earth or
it's the verses that talk about the
descendants of king or is the verses
that talk about what happened with ishma
and and or is the version that talk
about the
different or is the vers that talk about
what did after they heard some bad news
about what Israel looks like with all
the Giants that were there and so on and
so forth any version picking the T any
verse that you pick in the tanak whether
it's a Psalm a long one a short one a PM
that was written byav a s that was
written by Assa a that was written by
m or it's Proverbs or it's Ecclesiastes
or it's the prophet Isaiah or it's
Ezekiel any verse you have in the tat
anything that's mentioned from the
beginning of the T all the way to the
end the says that's mentioned by the 55
prophets that are named by name that
means that that
prophecy is relevant to every single
person and every single generation until
mashia arrives for eternity
forever Beyond mhia
why that's what hasem put in the Torah
all the other prophets they were
important some of the more extremely
righteous even how come they're not
mentioned because their prophecy was
only relevant for a specific amount of
time whatever is mentioned in the Tora
is relevant forever so what prophecy is
mosu telling us here we have in the five
books of Moses where in
seph is telling of God what's the
prophecy here Rashi says the prophet
here is remember dear Jew remember dear
human being I am God and therefore never
underestimate my patience I will wait
and I will wait and I will wait and
eventually I will
punish that's what Rashi says that's
what Rashi says your concern about why
is look like he's winning he's torturing
our people why are all these Wicked
people alive allowed to torture our
people don't worry Moshe I'm God I have
patience I give people an opportunity to
do Chua when I see that they're not in
line to do cha I let them continue
sinning to build up the account so I can
punish them even worse sh that's what
aash means look it up yourself look at
what Rashi says look at what the sages
say this you going to say wait oh this
sounds like a uh what is it a got a
gangster Shalom God has a system in
place reward and Punishment you follow
his system you follow his T you will get
rewarded Beyond any of your
imagination the smallest mitzah the
smallest Good Deed will give you reward
that's more than all of the good that
all of the people that ever existed ever
had in their entire lives
combined on the other hand the
punishment the punishment is so severe
that a person that's not scared of God
is simply like a drunk person why
because the punishment is just as severe
it's just as
severe we are meant to be a light unto
the Nations not to follow their
misguided practices remember every Jew
has to remember that he's a Jew and
she's a Jew we don't celebrate
non-jewish holidays even if they seem
harmless it's a zul disrespect respect
to the Torah and could lead to CH Hashem
desecration of God's name stick to our
holy tah and our own holidays that's the
path of a true Jew
