[Music] the the whole issue of of modesty has been thrown into the garbage thrown into to the garbage you actually not only see the the communities themselves walking around imist on a regular basis but you even see uh people like Goldberg actually take pictures with women take pictures with women that are not even his wife and hugging them and putting it himself online this is not like some hidden camera that caught the guy hugging some lady and they're exposing it no he himself is proud of the fact that he's able to hug some strange woman that's not his wife but yet the same that he is supposed to comply with the same that all of us supposed to comply with says you're not allowed to do such a thing the in says that a man is not allowed to show any type of affection to his own wife to his own wife in public yet these people are not only showing affection to their wives in public and putting their pictures on the internet hugging their wife and they think it's cute yeah for secular people for for non-jews for for I don't know for a group of apes it's cute for a husband and wife to show affection affection in public but for Jewish people that are religious it's forbidden it's forbidden that's it's you could show affection in privacy in privacy show as much affection you want in privacy but that's the problem we have tried to modernize Judaism so much to a point where it's become a different religion it's no longer different sects of Judaism reform is a different religion conservative is a different religion and quite frankly modern Orthodox is a different religion than the real authentic Judaism and this is not even my words I spoke to one of the in America about six years ago and when we were talking about please help us with this whole uh uh issue of 5 years ago the issue with Goldberg wanted to bring this missionary to uh to his community he said I agree with everything that you're saying I agree with everything that you're saying but one thing that you're making a mistake you think that modern Orthodox and Orthodox are the same religion that's your mistake I couldn't believe my ears what do you mean it's not the same religion now I understand now I understand they have a whole new set of rules that are not written anywhere aside from blogs blogs maybe they're written you're not going to see a you're not going to see you're not going to see a you're not gonna see you're not gonna see anyer that says they you're allowed they Jew is allowed to show show allow to show affection to his own wife and public you're never going to find a seph like this needless to say you're never going to find a seph that's going to tell you that you are allowed to show affection to a woman that's not your wife in public needless to say times a thousand are you ever going to find a SE that's going to tell you that a rabbi a so-called leader is allowed to show affection to a woman that's not his wife in public but yet people actually love this they love this why because it'll since he is a hypocrite it allows them to be Hypocrites so the sources have no end the question is whether we're looking to be truthful or Hypocrites that's the key you want to be truthful or you want to be a hypocrite if you want to be a hypocrite be a hypocrite fine but don't pretend don't pretend like you're being an honest person don't pretend that's it we're not judges we're not juries we simply can't stand hypocrites can't stand Hypocrites that's really where it comes down to quite frankly there are people that are outright against the tah that are are easier to deal with than people that pretend like they're for the Tor why because those people say listen I understand what you're saying either don't believe it or I believe it but I simply don't want to do it because I'm addicted to my desires and that's it but at least they don't pretend at least they don't pretend but that's unfortunately what we have in the world today [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] n for FL [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he [Music]
